Great General [Rebirth]

In the early morning of December 25th, 29th year of Ronghe, in the darkness of night, amidst the sound of everything, a galloping horse stopped at the gate of Chenwang Mansion.As soon as the government soldiers saw the person coming, they ran directly to lead the horse.Because His Royal Highness Chen Wang said that General Bai can enter and leave Chen Wang's mansion freely.

Zhao Yongzhou went straight to King Chen's bedroom without being informed.

Rong You got up from the bed when he heard the commotion outside: "Who is there?"

"Return to Your Highness, it is General Bai."

"...let him in."

Zhao Yongzhou was covered in morning mist, and his hair was untied.Seeing his appearance, Rong You ordered everyone around him to go out.

After all the palace people left, Zhao Yongzhou took out the secret decree in his sleeve and handed it to Rong You.

"……How about it?"

"Your Highness will know after a look."

Rong You took a look at Zhao Yongzhou, took the secret decree and opened it to read.Nothing could be seen from the facial expression, but the hand holding the secret decree became tighter and tighter.

"Father, he actually..." Rong You suddenly laughed in a low voice, raised his hand to cover his face, Zhao Yongzhou couldn't see his expression clearly at all, only knew that Rong You's body was shaking very violently.

After a while, when Rong You calmed down a little, Zhao Yongzhou said, "Your Highness, what should we do now?"

Rong You was silent for a while, "What's Feng Buran's attitude?"

Zhao Yongzhou: "...I don't know. However, it should be on our side."

Rong You raised his head and stared at him, the cold light in his eyes made Zhao Yongzhou fearful.

"Should? Hmph."

"Your Highness, please trust me."

"No, Fusheng." Rong You's eyes fell outside the window, the night was dense and elusive.

"Don't worry about Feng Buran... I decided to fight with my back, do you dare to follow me?"

Zhao Yongzhou: "Your Highness is the true God of destiny. Up to now, there is only one way to go. If Your Highness wants to raise troops, I am willing to be a pawn and swear to die."

"Okay. You go and call Commander Bai. This matter needs a long-term plan, and it must be leak-proof..."

As the Spring Festival approaches, the capital city is in a bustling and bustling environment. The streets are decorated with lanterns and festoons, and firecrackers are set off, making the city full of spring.

On this day, snow also fell all over the capital.

In the First Prince's Mansion, the servants were rushing in and out.Rong Qi was sitting in the sedan chair. He had just returned from hunting outside.He got off the sedan chair and was about to enter the mansion when suddenly a fortune teller stopped him:

"Wait a minute, Your Highness. I don't know if Your Highness is interested in hearing about the secrets that can be used to change people's lives."

Rong Qi glanced at him, ignored him, bypassed the fortune teller and went straight into the mansion.When he got to the house, the servant came forward to undress him, only to find a small note on the wrist of the sleeve.Handed it to Rong Qi, opened it to look, but there were a few strange words written on it: All things grow in spring, wild flowers are everywhere.Poor palace flowers grow from the same root, unable to live, the moon turns yellow, Qiyou is disabled, father and son become enemies.

Rong Qi's complexion changed, and he hurriedly sent people out of the house to make an inspection. Where could he see the fortune teller?

He also said that for the New Year's Eve, Zhao Yongxiu, Minister of the Ministry of War, was going to return to the prime minister's residence for the new year, and the prince's residence was invited by someone, so it was extremely urgent.Zhao Yongxiu hurried to the First Prince's Mansion, Rong Qi showed him the note while walking around the room anxiously:

"It's over, it's over, father really wants to help Rongyue become emperor, but he actually wants to kill me and my second child!"

After Zhao Yongxiu glanced at the note, he had a helpless expression on his face: "Your Highness believes in this inexplicable thing?"

Rong Qi: "This must be the content of the secret decree! The emperor has three secret decrees, we all know this, and this kind of thing is definitely related to the secret decree. I would rather believe it than believe it!"

Zhao Yongxiu: "Your Highness, calm down. You have been disturbed, haven't you noticed?"

Rong Qi stopped his restless steps and forced himself to calm down.

Zhao Yongxiu said: "Since His Royal Highness received this item, it means that His Royal Highness Prince Chen and the Crown Prince must have received it too. If someone manipulated it secretly, he only wanted to achieve two purposes: First, disturb the princes, especially you and Prince Chen. , lead the two of you to the prince; two, the first person this person wants to get rid of is you."

Rong Qi: "Me? Why?"

Zhao Yongxiu: "Then what would you most likely do after hearing the news that the emperor wants to remove you in order to support the crown prince?"

Rong Qi frowned and thought for a while: "I will..."

Zhao Yongxiu: "The most likely thing you will do is to rush into the palace and question the emperor, right?"

Rong Qi suddenly realized: "That's right, then Father will be angry... This person is really insidious!"

Zhao Yongxiu: "In this way, you should know who sent the news."

Rong Qi: "It's the second child, it's Rong You, it must be him."

Zhao Yongxiu felt that Ruzi was teachable and nodded, "Since this is the case, Your Highness must be steady, and the closer to the last moment, the more calm you must be. I have already prepared everything, and what Your Highness has to do is to be steady." The little prince..."

"There is a reunion in the Thirty Palace. From the first to the fifth day of the new year, the princes will go to pay New Year's greetings to the elders of the royal family. The time for the crown prince to go down to pay his respects to Prince Zhao is scheduled for the third day." Zhao Yongzhou said.

Rong You's eyes were fixed somewhere, holding a teacup in his hand, he asked, "What's happened to Rong Qi in recent days?"

Bai Xianjie: "It's still the same: hunting, playing with birds, doing nothing. Mud can't support a wall."

"Where's Zhao Yongxiu?"

"There is no movement. Guoxiang Mansion and Changping Palace are running on both sides, and they are acting like filial sons."

Through the mist from the tea, Zhao Yongzhou saw a strange smile on Rong You's face.

"On the third day of junior high school, Rong Qi and Rong Yue will definitely go to Prince Zhao's Mansion to pay their respects. At that time, Zhao Yongxiu will take action."

Neither Zhao Yongzhou nor Bai Xianjie spoke.

Rong You looked at Zhao Yongzhou, "Fusheng, I think you and Jinghe seem to get along pretty well?"

Zhao Yongzhou frowned, "Your Highness, the Princess eats fast and recites Buddhism, and never cares about world affairs, let alone... don't get involved with innocent people..."

Rong You snorted coldly: "Innocent? Do you think anyone else is innocent now? Childish. If you don't go, I will find someone else to contact her."

"...Then I should go."

In the middle of the afternoon at midnight, Zhao Yongzhou came out of the shop, Ruan Yan and Qiao'er stood on both sides of the carriage, which was already full of New Year's goods.

"General, there are only a few of us in the house, and we bought so many things." Qiao'er muttered.Just because of the Chinese New Year, all the other servants in the house went home, and now there are only three of them in the White House. "The mansion even sent a lot over."

"It's okay, after the new year is over, go door to door to give gifts." Zhao Yongzhou said with a smile.

Just as he was talking, he suddenly saw a few young masters in brocade clothes coming down from Gu Xiangzhai next to him.Zhao Yongzhou first saw Zhao Yu, and then he saw the boys next to him, all of whom looked familiar.

Since the separation from the army, Zhao Yu went to Shanxi to fight again. In the past six months, the two have rarely seen each other.

"I bought so much." Zhao Yu glanced at the carriage and said lightly.

Zhao Yongxiu took out a wave drum from his arms, "Come on, uncle hasn't given you any presents yet, take this."

Zhao Yu looked at him with an absurd expression, "You are crazy!"

Zhao Yongxiu smiled and forced the wave drum into Zhao Yu's hand. "Take it back and coax the child, isn't your Seventh Aunt just born, just treat it as a gift from me."

"Uncle Seven is in business. He doesn't have anything, but he wants this." Muttering, Zhao Yu still stuffed things into his sleeves.

The children behind have already started to shout: "Brother, hurry back. I'm going to grandpa's house tonight."

"Don't yell, just wait." Zhao Yu yelled back.Those boys were stunned for a while, it was very interesting to watch.

Zhao Yongzhou smiled and said, "How many little nephews are these? So cute."

Zhao Yu was laughed angrily by him, "I said you, how many people in our family are you going to take advantage of?"

Zhao Yongzhou looked over there and smiled, the boys got impatient and started playing snowballs on the street.Pink face, black eyes.

Zhao Yu took out a bag, "Well, here's a little rouge gouache... Gu Xiangzhai's new one. You can give it to someone else."

Qiaoer's eyes lit up immediately, "General General! I want that! Give it to me! Gu Xiangzhai's rouge is so expensive, I can only buy a box with half a year's salary!"

"No! I can't send her off!" Zhao Yu said in panic.

Qiao'er opened her mouth and said, "You asked the general to give it away. The general is only a woman, so whoever you don't send me to!"

"That, that won't work either!" Zhao Yu said anxiously.

Zhao Yongxiu pursed his smile, raised his hand and rubbed Zhao Yu's hair, "Okay, I got it. I'll send it over later."

Zhao Yu was a little taken aback by his touch, or caught by the overly natural doting smile on Zhao Yongzhou's face. He didn't react for a while, and said stupidly: "Yeah."

"Go back. Take the younger brothers back and spend more time with the old man. Tonight... I won't go there. Tell Xiangye, just say... After a while, I will go to pay his respects to the old man. This Pack deer antler, bring it to him for me." Zhao Yongzhou's tone was full of sentimentality.

Zhao Yu's heart was inexplicably heavy because of him, and he took the things, "Okay, okay, you'd better not come, you are not welcome in our house."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and yelled at his brothers to leave.

Zhao Yongzhou looked at their backs, the smile on his face couldn't hold back anymore.He looked up at the vast sky of the capital, his brows furrowed deeply.

This Spring Festival, how many people can live in peace?

In the evening, Zhao Yongzhou took Ruan Yan and Qiao'er to Feng's mansion carrying big and small bags.Madam Wan and Feng Xun were there, the mother and son seemed to have just returned from the Censor's House.Feng Lanyin also returned from the army.Zhao Yongzhou didn't stay in Feng Mansion for long, he handed Gu Xiangzhai's rouge to Feng Huan, and chatted with her a few words.

Feng Huan: "The princess wants to go to Tianyi Temple to offer incense later in the evening, but you know, there are as many people going there on the [-]th night, it's terrifying, and thinking of the densely packed heads makes my scalp go numb. "

Zhao Yongzhou smiled and said, "That's easy. I'll accompany the princess tonight, and you can rest at home."

"you?"

"Why, you still don't believe that I can protect her well."

Feng Huan remembered that the princess seemed to like the boy very much, so he said with a smirk, "Okay, okay. You are waiting at the back door of King Zhao's Mansion tonight, remember to dress up as a boy."

Then Zhao Yongzhou left, and when Feng Buran came back from outside the mansion, Zhao Yongzhou stood on the side with his head down.After Feng Buran passed by, he took Ruan Yan and Qiao'er and left without looking back.

Looking at the turbulent back, the maid Ran Qin couldn't understand it.The scene where the adults and the general pass each other, no one looks at the other, and no one knows the other, is really uncomfortable to watch.

That night, Zhao Yongzhou wore the clothes of a servant, drove a carriage, and waited early at the back gate of Prince Zhao's Mansion.

When Haishi was approaching, the back door of Prince Zhao's Mansion creaked open, and a petite woman jumped out from inside, it was Feng Huan.She waved at Zhao Yongzhou.

Zhao Yongzhou smiled, got off the carriage, and came forward to wait.Then a man wearing a hooded robe walked out of the door, and Zhao Yongzhou stepped forward to help him.

"You are here." Jing He greeted him with a smile.

Zhao Yongzhou nodded, "Well, let's go now, the time is just right."

Helping Jinghe into the carriage, Feng Huan shouted outside: "Be careful."

Zhao Yongzhou winked at her, "Hey, you're fine anyway, let's go to the Jinqu Building to have fun. I have a theater over there, and there's a show tonight."

The little girl's family just loves to play, and when Feng Huan heard about it, she immediately said happily: "Okay, okay, have you reserved a place for me?"

"Of course." It's still a private room.Zhao Yongzhou smiled in his heart, and then rode his horse and carriage to Tianyi Temple.

Half an hour later, Feng Huan entered the Jinqulou Theater and found a man who looked like a shopkeeper: "Boss, Boss, I am a friend of your General Bai, and he asked me to come to the theater."

Douzi looked her up and said with a smile, "Oh, it's Miss Feng, please come upstairs here."

While going upstairs, Feng Huan admired: "Is this upstairs also your general's property?"

Douzi: "No, our family only has one theater garden. The upstairs space was specially reserved by the general."

Feng Huan: "Isn't that very expensive? Ah, I didn't expect this kid to spend so much money in order to chase the princess, just to drive me away."

Douzi didn't know what she said, so she smiled and stopped talking.After being led to the private room, Douzi withdrew: "Girl, please wait a moment, the opera will be on later."

Then the person ran away.

Before Feng Huan realized that there was something wrong with Douzi's words, he saw a person sitting in the private room: "Ah! The surname is Zhao!"

At this time, Zhao Yongzhou and Jinghe have also been caught in the torrent of pilgrims from Tianyi Temple.Zhao Yongzhou supported Jing He's shoulders, and the two squeezed a little behind.

"What? You asked Zhao Yu to go too?" Jinghe opened her eyes wide. Because the mountain climbing was very hot and there were so many people, she had already taken off her outer robe and put it in the carriage. Now it was Zhao Yongzhou who was pulling her.

"Young people, we should create some opportunities for them." Zhao Yongzhou pushed away the flow of people, panting.During the holidays, the passenger flow of Tianyi Temple is terrifying.Even if you are a prince or princess, you don't have privileges right now, and you have to crowd with others.

Zhao Yongzhou kept Jinghe in his arms all the time, the two of them squeezed into the mountain gate with great difficulty, both sweating hotly.Standing under the Bodhi tree to rest, looking at each other and smiling.

Zhao Yongzhou: "Ah, the candles I brought are all crushed."

Jing He looked at him with a smile, "It's okay. The Bodhisattva will not blame us."

Zhao Yongzhou looked at her and also laughed.

Jing He suddenly raised his hand to wipe away the sweat from Zhao Yongzhou's brow.

Suddenly she said, "A lot of people have come to me recently, and I have not promised them anything in all aspects. I know what you are coming to me for, don't worry, as long as you need me to do it, I will do it, even Let me die."

Zhao Yongzhou's smile froze for a moment, and the next moment, there was a wave of emotion in his eyes, and the smile became more bitter, "It's a pity that I can't give you anything. I couldn't before, and I won't be able to in the future."

Jinghe shook her head, and suddenly put her arms around his neck.

"You live, that's all I ask for."
