The King of Liang, the feudal lords outside the town, and the generals inside

Yan Xun's class teacher this time not only brought back victory, but also brought back Princess Zhaoning and her son.As a show of solemnity, the emperor ordered Shun Wang to be an imperial envoy, and he went out of the city twenty miles to meet him.

"Thank you, my lord." Yan Xun got off his horse and cupped his hands.

King Dingshun's condition is much better than before, his words and deeds are more generous and decent, and he no longer seems like everyone is going to beat him like before.He also said politely: "It's hard to talk about welcoming a hero like the general."

They chatted while riding on horseback, Ding Shun Wang said: "Uncle has been away from Beijing for half a year, but a lot of things have happened. Last month, I gave birth to a daughter as I wished. This is our first child. King Zhenjing and his wife They have both sons and daughters."

Yan Xun was naturally happy, and said again: "I didn't even give you a congratulatory gift when I was away on an expedition."

King Dingshun smiled "hehe" and said, "Congratulations... yes, yes."

Yan Xun didn't understand what he meant, so King Dingshun continued, "Uncle came back by coincidence. Today is the first day for the new scholars to praise officials this year. Don't you want to go and see?"

"See what that does." Yan Xun said casually, "When I was admitted to the top martial arts school, I experienced it myself."

"Go and have a look, Uncle." Dingshun Wang smiled meaningfully, "It's not troublesome, just wait for a while on the way into the city."

Yan Xun looked him over, knew he was tricky, but followed him anyway.

They went to a tea house by the road, opened the window and looked down.Many people gathered on the side of the road and waited, all of them stretched their necks and looked forward to seeing the demeanor of Zhuangyuan Lang.Amidst the uproar, the sound of drums approached.

"Hey, come, come!" The crowd cheered.

The crowds on both sides of the road were like a sea, and a bunch of signs saying "Quiet" and "Avoid" could not stop their enthusiasm, but the official errands would not really care about the people on this day.In this festival-like festive atmosphere, the number one scholar dressed in a red robe and an official hat urged his white horse to move forward slowly under the guard of officers and soldiers, gradually appearing in everyone's sight.

Although Yan Xun had already guessed a bit, his heart still missed a beat when he saw that person clearly.

Jiuhua Jiaqi's brows are full of color, and the thousand Buddhas are famous as Ma Lang.The golden sun shone on him, as if it was brighter than other places, and the red-robed horse couldn't cover up his brilliance at all.He is handsome, elegant, and just right in spirit, and he is both heroic and awe-inspiring without making people feel too frivolous and arrogant.

Wherever he went, the suppressed murmurs of the crowd could be heard from time to time.It is really the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, the appearance of the sun, never have I seen such a young man who is beyond the mundane, and at first glance he seduces people's hearts, but at the second glance he is despondent.

With his jewels in front of him, the rest of the No. [-] Tanhua and other Jinshi didn't get the slightest attention at all.He had already gone far away, but the crowd stood there unsatisfied, looking at the direction he left and lingering, refusing to leave.

"Oh, it's really the first time I made it to the Dragon and Tiger Rankings, and I went to the Phoenix Pond in ten years." Dingshun Wang pursed his lips and smiled, peeked at Yan Xun, coughed lightly, and deliberately played the accent, "This year's new top scorer is so familiar. "

Yan Xun cast a glance at him, covering up all the complicated emotions under calmness.

As a rule, Xinke Scholars have to praise their officials in the capital for three days.In the past, there were fewer and fewer people every day, but this time it was just the opposite. On the third day, it was already overwhelming.Many people were not from Shangjing, they came here from other places, just to see what the sensational No. [-] Scholar looks like.

Some people knew that he was King Liang, but no one dared to talk about the inside story.After all, King Liang is already under one person and over ten thousand people. He only needs a word from the emperor if he wants to be an official, and he doesn't need this pseudonym at all.

"The king of Liang is the treasure of our Great Zhou." The emperor said without hesitation.

"How about it, master, my clothes look good." Bai Yu stretched out her arms to show off her No. [-] scholar robe.

"Naturally, it's very beautiful." Kui Zheng nodded in satisfaction, and turned around suddenly in a moment.

Bai Yu leaned over to take a look, and found that his eyes were red.

"...Master?"

Cuizheng sighed, patted Baiyu's arm, and said in a trembling voice, "You have grown up."

He wiped the corner of his eyes and said, "I have a letter here, you should read it."

The letter paper was very yellowed, but it was not damaged in any way and was well preserved.As soon as Bai Yu held it in his hand, he knew what it was.

"When your mother and concubine sent you out of the palace, this letter was in your infancy. The letter I showed you before was fake, and I wrote it, just to encourage you to seize the throne. In fact, your mother and concubine did not this means."

Bai Yu took a deep breath and opened it carefully.

"...It's not that I haven't hated it, and I have fantasized about escaping from this place and going to be with you countless times. But the emperor, my husband, he is completely different from what I thought at first. He is not because of my tribute daughter. He looked down on me because of my status. He respected and loved me, gave me a name, taught me to read and write, and he didn't force me when I didn't want to serve me at first. Lian Yun, he regarded me as a person, not a person. Beautiful ornaments.

I know what I have to face now, the Queen Mother will definitely use the most vicious means to deal with me, but I am not afraid at all, I just hope that I can leave a little bit of the blood that my husband and I share, so that my life is not in vain.The only person I can trust in Dazhou is you, please take care of my child.I don't want him to fight for the throne, and I don't need him to avenge me, because I don't hate anyone. "

After reading it, Bai Yu was silent for a long time.

Guizheng was a little nervous, "I lied to you, do you blame me?"

Bai Yu shook his head and said, "Isn't Master's kindness in nurturing enough to offset it?"

Kui Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, and said with emotion: "Your mother and concubine are too kind."

Bai Yu folded the letter paper properly and said, "Master, leave this letter to me for safekeeping."

"It should have been handed over to you."

"I still want it, show it to Brother Huang." Bai Yu was a little dazed, "I left the Taoist school to hide my identity, but now that everything is over and I have grown up, has Master ever thought about returning to the secular world and starting a family? Years have passed, it's time to let go."

Kui Zheng was silent for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Some people just want others to remember them for a lifetime."

Bai Yu couldn't help but said: "But Master and Concubine Mother have never really been together, it's just a quick meeting, just a few words, why is Master so affectionate?"

There was a burst of soreness in his heart, and after the sourness passed, he felt a little helpless and desolate.He said: "Li Guang, if your concubine mother and concubine had really married me back then, I am afraid that now I would be three wives and four concubines, hugging left and right."

Bai Yu froze for a moment, but deeply understood what he meant.

After the Lu Ming banquet, Bai Yu went to the palace to meet the emperor and showed him the letter.

"What did Brother Huang do with the woman sent back by my brother?"

The emperor stared at the letter in his hand, and said in a daze: "She...has been tortured, but I don't want her to die like this, so I let her wash the pail, and kneel in front of the concubine's grave one day a month."

Bai Yu nodded, "That's fine. The concubine mother doesn't hate her, but my younger brother can't be so magnanimous. She has to pay the price."

"That's right." The emperor looked at him, and stretched out his hand to pinch his cheek, "It's been two years since I left, and I don't want to come back to see me. It's a heartless thing."

Bai Yu rubbed her face and said, "Your brother sent you a letter... besides, I'm very busy."

"Since you're back, stop running around."

Bai Yu rolled his eyes, leaned over and said shyly, "What kind of official position does the emperor plan to give to my younger brother? My younger brother thinks I look better in a first-grade crown."

The emperor glared at him and laughed angrily, "How can you be such an important official!"

Bai Yu pouted, "Brother Huang, you can send him away casually. See which county lacks a county magistrate, and just transfer the minister there."

"You are getting more and more itchy." The emperor said, "I have something to ask for others."

Bai Yu immediately put away her rascal face, pursed her lips and lowered her head.

"Oh, what kind of panacea is this, so effective? I haven't said who it is yet."

Bai Yu blushed a little, and became angry from embarrassment, "Brother Huang!"

The emperor smiled and said sternly: "Two years have passed, have you untied your knot? Don't waste any more time, how many two years are there in life?"

"My brother knows." Bai Yu said in a low voice.

The emperor seemed to be relieved, "Then you go to him quickly, don't bother me, I get a headache when I see you."

"Brother Huang just said..."

The emperor pushed him, "Hurry up!"

Bai Yu rolled out of the Chongming Hall and went straight to the General's Mansion.

All these years he has come here as if it were his own home, and no one would stop him, but today the guard said: "His Royal Highness, please wait a moment, please allow me to report to you."

Bai Yu froze for a moment, but said nothing.

Not long after, Yan Xun came out, bowed without saying a word, "I pay my respects to Your Highness."

Bai Yu was stunned by this set of postures, and didn't react for a long time.

Yan Xun lowered his eyes and turned to him, "Please, Your Highness."

Bai Yu followed him inside, vaguely understood something from Yan Xun's politeness, and his heart gradually sank to the bottom.

"I don't drink tea, you all go out." As soon as Bai Yu entered the main hall, he slammed the door shut, blocking all the servants outside.

Yan Xun glanced at him and said nothing.

"What do you mean?" Bai Yu walked up to him.

"Wei Chen..."

Just as Yan Xun opened his mouth, Bai Yu pushed him violently, hitting the wall behind him with a "boom".

"Weichen? Your Highness? Is there something wrong with you?!" Bai Yu's anger surged up all of a sudden, wishing to tear this person apart a few times.

Yan Xun frowned, and simply said: "Since you are in love with Yuchi Yuanhe, why bother hanging on to me like this, neither of you will let go."

"Yuchi... what..." Bai Yu held his breath in his chest, not knowing where to start.

Yan Xun continued: "I don't blame you for changing your mind, but if you change your mind, you have to admit it. I can't share it with others and endure such shame."

"I told you already, I didn't! How many times do you want me to tell you?!" Bai Yu was angry and sad, "Am I so untrustworthy?"

Yan Xun looked into his eyes and said flatly, "It's not worth it."

Bai Yu froze, looking at him in disbelief.The anger in his eyes was burned to ashes little by little, and the figure was like petals falling from the branches, swirling alone on the huge lake, trembling with the wind blowing across the lake.

When he reached the door, he stopped, turned around and asked, "What qualifications do you have to accuse me of changing my mind? Whose child is Tao Tao?"

Yan Xun was stunned, but didn't speak.

"Yan Xun, you've gone too far." Bai Yu's voice trembled a little, but he opened the door decisively and left.
