【324 chapters】

In the second year of Qianyuan, Chi Heng struck out with a heavy fist, starting the famous "Qianyuan Reform" and creating the beginning of the legend of Qianyuan prosperity.

Externally, Chi Heng's Qianyuan army went north to west, Mei Fu, Yan Jian, Yan Yi, Xin Que, Liang Qianlie, Huo Chu and other famous generals volunteered for expeditions one after another. On a large territory that has never been visited, in just three years, he has achieved a sharp edge and a reputation. The territory that has been expanded is unreached by the predecessors, and it will never be surpassed by later generations. approval.

Internally, Chi Heng made drastic innovations and made great efforts to govern the country. The country is rich and the people are strong, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and famous ministers and ministers emerge in endlessly.In the past, there were Ji Ce, Luo Jinghan, Shi Wei, Zhuang Qi, Jing Shuo, etc., all of whom were important ministers who assisted Chi Heng; Zong Yuzhou, Zong Yuzhou, etc. were selected by Chi Henghui's discerning eyes; there were also those who were born in poverty, started as petty officials, and eventually became famous, such as Lin Yiye, Gao Fei, Zhou Jie, etc., all of whom were Chi Henghui's candidates. Heng eclectic selection of those who stand out.

No innovation is achieved overnight.

During the ups and downs, there were quarrels, objections, and even some courtiers who were heartbroken and wanted to show their ambitions by death.It is not always so sure, always so firm, and always so correct, and you will question, regret, and be afraid of the falling pieces.Right, keep going, wrong, start all over again.

In the chaos of not being able to see right and wrong, Chi Heng is firm and determined.

It's not just a one-by-one move, there are also batches of courtiers and newcomers coming up.Worried that there would be no successors, Chi Heng even gathered all the disciples of civil servants and military generals in the academy in the capital to select suitable candidates from among them.Zhong Xu's classmates, such as Mei Yuanbai, Wu Chen, Xiangling, Yan Jingtong, Huo Yin, Wen Kuming, etc., are among the best. After decades, they have also become dragons and phoenixes.

And Chi Heng's princes: Ziyan, Mei Yu, Qin Yiwang, and Ruan Yue are not domineering, but because of Chi Heng's strictness, they all become young heroes.Even Ziyan, who is the most beloved, dare not be presumptuous in front of Chi Heng, which makes Chi Heng very depressed, he really doesn't like everyone to be silent when they see him.

It's a pity that Cen Pojing has never had a child.

Cen Pojing once asked Chi Heng with a smile which one he wanted to be the real prince. Qin Yi Wang Taimu and Ruan Yue are smart, but they are all clever."

"You can see extraordinary things at a glance. They have dragon horns. How can a child see anything?"

Chi Heng shook his head: "Those who are about the same age as Zhong Xu are much better than these princes. Although they are young, they are all good. They have read a lot since childhood and have a lot of knowledge. If you have to choose... …Forget it, when it’s still far away, there’s no need to worry about it.”

All of the above are stories, so I won’t list them in detail here.

In the blink of an eye, six years have passed.

Needless to say, six years of hard work, the cedar tree in front of the imperial study has grown from a seedling to a tall tree.

Qianyuan six years.The flowers fell seven times, the flowers bloomed seven times, and the scientific examination has been passed for the third time; 16-year-old Ziyan and Ruan Yue even secretly sent letters to the Taifu's daughter behind Chi Heng's back to express their wishes; Classmates such as Mei Yuanbai, Wu Chen, Yan Jingtong, Xiangling and others all grew up at the age of 13, and under the arrangement of Chi Heng, they served as ministers in the sixth department.

Everyone knows that Chi Heng is practicing swords.

Compared with Cen Pojing who opened up the territory, Rong Yue was held in the capital by Chi Heng, and Rong Yue was still a general.In peaceful times, it is not easy to be a general, and he also has the responsibility of supervising the Ministry of War.Fortunately, Rong Yue quickly became handy, and Shi Wei became Chi Heng's right-hand man in military affairs.

Chi Heng has also turned 29 years old.

He has faded away from the greenness and confusion of being the emperor, and now he is more than capable.He was very happy to see civil servants and military generals quarreling in the court every day, because after the quarrel, it was his turn to make a decision, just like thousands of troops waiting for an order from him.At the beginning, every step he took was apprehensive and uneasy. He didn't know what the consequences would be if the imperial seal fell, but now, he has been able to predict the possible benefits and disadvantages of every step forward, and seek the advantages and avoid the disadvantages. , what he can do is firmly promote long-term decision-making.

The country of Yuanxi was peaceful and the people were safe, but where the Qianyuan army stepped on their iron hooves, Selibi and Uz countries surrendered, and there was an endless stream of envoys who came from afar to worship.

If you don't mention this time, names will emerge one after another.

Just keep talking.

Zhong Xu, who followed Mei Fu, made many military exploits.Not only is his spear skill amazing, but he also showed his talent for commanding thousands of troops early on. He often leads hundreds of people to capture a city, which makes Chi Heng feel terrified and gratified every time he sees it.Because of his outstanding commanding ability in battle, Zhong Xu was soon promoted to be the youngest deputy general.Zhong Xu, who led thousands of troops, became like a tiger with wings added, invincible, and became the vanguard of Chi Heng's expansion of territory.In the annals of later generations, Zhong Xu was also highly praised, and his reputation was comparable to that of Rong Yue and Cen Pojing—this is a later story, which will not be listed for the time being.

Qianyuan six years, mid-December.

Cen Po Jingmei paid his class teacher back to the court, and Chi Heng went to meet him early.In the distance, dark red military uniforms, shiny armor, and iron hoofs are coming in a row with the momentum of stepping across the mountains and rivers.Chi Heng looked at the front, and to the right of Cen Pojing was a young general in white armor. He was tall and slender, with sword-like brows.

Chi Heng's eyes suddenly blurred.

The generals flew off their horses, knelt down on one knee in front of Chi Heng, and shouted long live in unison, which was deafening.

Chi Heng helped them up one by one, walked in front of the white-clothed general, looked at the tight lips and youthful cheeks, his eyes shone brighter than the stars.Chi Heng couldn't help holding his wrist and said with a smile, brushing his bangs for him: "Zhong Xu, get up."

Zhong continued, he became the strong man in his previous life.

The strong are always the strong, unwilling to give in, unwilling to bow their heads, Zhong Xu just raised his head and looked at Chi Heng, his stubborn eyes searched Chi Heng's face, eagerly flashing past, then slightly Eyelashes drooping in disappointment.At that moment, he changed from a young general to a melancholy young man. His face was familiar, but his expression was strange.

And when Mei Yuanbai, Wu Chen and others appeared, Zhong Xu's eyes lit up again.

Zhong Xu rushed over, hugged Mei Yuanbai in a big circle, and said excitedly: "Yuanbai, have your legs and hands recuperated? I was too reckless at the time! That's great, you're fine! I miss you so much !"

Zhong Xu tilted his head and smiled excitedly, so familiar.Chi Heng thought bitterly, probably there is no need to tell the past.

Luo Jinghan stretched out his hand and pinched: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Hey! Chi Heng! My eyes are straight! They are all looking at you! Are you trying to win love?"

To get this country, to get the beautiful family of gods and immortals, what more can a husband ask for?

Chi Heng was relieved.

In the Dening Palace, Chi Heng is hosting a banquet to reward.

Accompanied by the heavy snow, not to mention other generals' boldness to persuade them to drink.Just talking about Zhong Xu at the banquet, with a pair of curious eyes, slipped past the big and small affairs in the palace, and then followed Mei Yuanbai every step of the way.In comparison, Yan Jingtong wanted to get close several times, Zhong Xu was not very enthusiastic, Yan Jingtong was very disappointed.

Chi Heng saw it in his eyes and knew it well.

At the beginning, Yan Jingtong played tricks, trying to keep Zhong Xu from approaching him.It's a pity that it was found out. With Zhong Xu's personality, there is absolutely no room for sand in his eyes.Therefore, he got closer to Mei Yuanbai, who was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, who had been injured for him, but treated Yan Jingtong coldly.

Chi Heng smiled, unexpectedly Zhong Xu was still so brooding.

The days of the past cannot be traced back.

Zhong Xu is Zhong Xu, Zhong Xu is Zhong Xu, even if the old man comes back, he will be a different person after all, if he doesn't like it, I can't bear to let him be wronged.Chi Heng drank it down in one gulp, and Rong Yue on the side filled it up again with a smile: "You drink very generously today! It's different when you meet your little lover!"

"I can't tell whose lover it is!"

"Ha, look at Mei Yuanbai and the others are so tender that they can squeeze out water one by one, you can't compare to them!" Rong Yue teased, his voice loud.It made Zhong Xu look over, his side face had an arc, eye-catching like a gun.

Chi Heng was not convinced: "Apart from tenderness, what else can they compare to me!"

"Don't bully the young man!" Rong Yue laughed loudly, turned his head and started drinking with Cen Pojing next to him. Cen Pojing had been at the border for a long time, and it was rare for him to drink to his heart's content. While drinking, the wine was getting stronger and the stove was hot again, Rong Yue simply took off his long clothes, and started fisting with Cen Pojing.

The two of you said a word to each other, and you had a glass to me, and they drank happily.

Rong Yue's long dress swayed with the wind, so elegant.

After fighting for an unknown amount of time, Cen Pojing's eyes were blurred, he saw the dragon pattern on Rong Yue's waist, squinted his eyes, and then teased with his tongue out, "Rong Yue, you dragon is a chameleon! "

An ordinary sentence.

Unexpectedly, after a pause, Rong Yue immediately flicked his clothes and wrapped them tightly, Cen Pojing smiled: "Oh, you are so stingy, let me take another look!"

Chi Heng kept watching the two punching, and after hearing this sentence, he looked at Rong Yue's behavior, and couldn't help being curious, but Rong Yue turned his back to him, and he didn't understand what Cen Pojing meant by "chameleon".Chi Heng stood up, put his hands on Rong Yue's waist, and said with a smile: "Let me see, what kind of chameleon is it?"

Unexpectedly, Rong Yue pushed him and said: "Go, go, it's still the same."

Chi Heng felt that something was wrong, and wanted to untie Rong Yue's clothes, but Rong Yue flicked his hand impatiently: "Fuck off! What's so interesting about a big man! Don't move around, I'll be in a hurry with you if you move again!"

It looks like I don't care about the king of heaven.

Chi Heng stopped, seeing Rong Yue's extremely neat bundle, he couldn't help feeling suspicious.He pondered for a moment, then smiled and waved to a general: "Ling Han, General Rong is the benefactor who brought you out, how many glasses will you offer him?"

Ling Han immediately served fine wine, and offered three glasses of wine to Rong Yue without any explanation.

Rong Yue couldn't stand the persuasion.

He drank it all in one gulp, and as a result, the generals surrounded him one after another under Chi Heng's grinning suggestion. After several jugs of good wine went down, Rong Yue quickly fell down. Jing said: "Po...Jing...send me to...Rongde Hall! It's not good enough not to send me...you!"

Cen Pojing smiled and said, "Why don't you go to sleep on the dragon bed?"

Rong Yue shook his head, slurring his words: "No, no, no, Ji Ce, Luo Jinghan, Shi Wei... the dragon bed... chopped into firewood... are not enough!" After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Chi Heng waved his hand: "Send it to Qianyuan Hall."

The emperor has spoken, who can stop?

Chi Heng was so drunk that he stumbled onto the dragon bed and sat down on the soft silk, while Rong Yue was so drunk that he was unconscious, even so, his hands were still protecting his waist, as if there was something ulterior The secret is the same.Amused and annoyed, Chi Heng picked up Rong Yue's clothes with his hands.

From the cheeks, neck, chest, all the way down.

Rong Yue, who was drunk, was still full of life, just like when he first saw him, Chi Heng took a deep breath, picked up his belt, flicked his clothes to both sides, and then froze.
