The only honor of the water cut off

Three sections

"Eunuch Chen." Gongsun Ce finally got a chance to talk to someone other than Zhao Zhen, so he called softly to Eunuch Chen who was waiting respectfully at the side.

"Master Gongsun, do you have any orders?" Eunuch Chen trotted forward very courteously.The eunuchs and maids at the side couldn't help but look sideways. No one knew that this was the chief eunuch who had served the emperors of two dynasties. Who is this person lying on the soft bed?Thinking about it, the subordinates dare not be sloppy in their work, and they all cheer up and serve carefully.

Gongsun Ce paused, thinking about how to ask without being abrupt: "Eunuch Chen, you are a person in front of the emperor, so the news must come faster and more accurately than others, right?"

Chen Gonggong bowed down: "Your Excellency is absurd, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask, this old servant will know everything."

Gongsun Ce twitted a few more times in his stomach, and finally decided that it would be better to speak directly: "Excuse me, Eunuch, do you have any news about Pang Tong and Zhan Zhao?"

"Master Gongsun is talking about Zhan Zhao, the young hero who came back with Master Bao?"

Gongsun Ce's eyes suddenly brightened, with surprise on his face, he couldn't help but stand up: "Really!!" Then he felt a sharp pain in his hands and arms, and fell back with an ouch.

"Oh, Lord Gongsun, don't move around, if the emperor blames us, we won't be able to bear it!" Eunuch Chen was startled by him, he snatched up to the gauze tent and bowed repeatedly, and was moving things to decorate the garden. The eunuchs and maids all knelt down as if they were discussing, and said in unison: "Please take care of yourself, my lord."

Gongsun Ce was so embarrassed that he blushed slightly and said, "Okay, Eunuch Chen, tell them to get up."

Eunuch Chen waved his hand to the side, and the people in the palace were very well-behaved, so they all got back to work.Eight people appeared in a corner of the garden carrying the gilded coiled dragon throne. Four or five eunuchs skillfully spread out a two-foot-wide red carpet and faced the dragon chair.

"Lord Gongsun, about a month ago, Shaoxia Zhan did come back with Lord Bao, and it seems that he was seriously injured, but don't worry, my lord, the imperial doctor arranged by the emperor treated him, and there is nothing serious."

It is inevitable to be injured in such a catastrophic situation. Gongsun Ce breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the doctor's diagnosis and treatment: "Oh, that's good, but you just called Master Bao Zheng?"

Eunuch Chen said with a smile: "My lord is ill and I don't know it, about half a month ago, the emperor has promoted Bao Zheng, Mr. Bao, as the prefect of Kaifeng."

It was another surprise, Gongsun Ce couldn't help laughing out, that's great, he was supposed to be a person who pleads for the people and be a man of the blue sky.

Bao Zheng can be regarded as truly returning to the past, no, better than before.Gongsun Ce thought that he was always worried that the emperor would be unfavorable to Bao Zheng, and he was really a villain. He couldn't help being grateful to Zhao Zhen: "The emperor's grace is so great, it is really the best."

"Your majesty has nothing to say to you two. Mr. Gongsun has a literary talent and knowledge throughout the past and present, so this old slave said that your future is boundless!" But he didn't listen, he was still thinking of another person, he asked a little cautiously: "Then...Mr. Pang, where is Pang Tong?"

Gongsun Ce looked at Eunuch Chen's expression very carefully, Eunuch Chen's expression remained unchanged but he lowered his head a bit: "This old slave is in a deep palace, the son of the Grand Master's family, I really don't know about it, but , Lord Gongsun, why don't you think about why the emperor is in the Luohe Palace?"

In one word, between suing and not suing, he is really a fine man.Gongsun Ce's heart skipped a beat, that's right, why did the emperor come to Luohe Palace?At first I didn't think much about it, I thought the emperor was here to escape the summer heat, but now that I think about it, it's already early autumn, there is really no need to spend a lot of time to come to the palace, moreover, the emperor has always been diligent, and he has never done anything to escape the summer heat since he took office.

Just as I was about to ask, I heard a eunuch outside singing loudly, the emperor is here!

-------------

In the early autumn, I will send you Jiaorao, and the colorful purple will be curled up in the wind. If you count the Yiqin Tower in detail, why should you avoid being angry.

Leaning on the lake to fight for the autumn together, it is even more beautiful and beautiful, smiling and swimming with mandarin ducks, telling the world to know.

Zhao Zhen stood by the lake with his hands behind his back, and after listening to Gongsun Ce's reading, he smiled softly: "The camellia is delicate and pretty, and the smoke is vast. From Aiqing's sentence, Aiqing still loves this camellia more, but I like this one even more." The lake is as quiet as a mirror, untouched by the world of mortals and without ripples."

"The humble minister's bad sentence has polluted the ears of the sage." Gongsun Ce wanted to bow and salute, Zhao Zhen stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Aiqing is a literary talent, and he is the number one talented person in the Song Dynasty."

Zhao Zhen turned around and sat on the dragon chair, shook his robe, and asked lightly: "Mandarin ducks have also entered the words, but who does Aiqing think of?"

Gongsun Ce was a little embarrassed, thinking about what Eunuch Chen had just said in his heart, he couldn't say the same question again, he just said: "Although the lotus is defeated, the mandarin ducks don't care about it, they are still playing in it, all kinds of illusions in the world, only love can't be broken, I think Beyond the dust."

A look of sullenness appeared on Zhao Zhen's face. At this time, Eunuch Chen came trotting all the way from the small stone road, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Yao, please see me." "Didn't you see that I and Mr. Gongsun are admiring the flowers and looking at the lake!" Almost Without warning, Zhao Zhen roared furiously, and with one sleeve, he brushed all the plates, lamps, and dishes on the table to the ground, and the bright yellow broken porcelain mixed with all kinds of food, making a mess all over the place.

"The emperor calm down!" Everyone in the yard knelt down in unison, making Gongsun Ce want to struggle again.I can't help but feel anxious, the power of the sky is unpredictable, and being with a king is like a tiger is not empty talk.

"Your Majesty calm down, Mr. Yao said something important, and he brought Mr. Yi with him." Eunuch Chen lowered his head and said in a low voice with fear and sincerity.

Zhao Zhen squinted his eyes and looked at the lake, and regained his calm and indifferent face: "Xuan, you all back down."

--------

Yao Jiuyi didn't look surprised when he saw Gongsun Ce, but Liu Yiyi, who was tied up firmly by the rope, stared round after seeing the person on the soft bed clearly.Gongsun Ce frowned and looked at Liu Yiyi, he had an intuition that what these two people wanted to tell the emperor must be a big deal, and the emperor didn't want to avoid it himself, so could it be about him?

Confused by thoughts, Yao Jiuyi and Liu Yiyi knelt down and shouted long live, Zhao Zhen squinted at Liu Yiyi: "Why, I heard that you came back by yourself."

Liu Yiyi prostrated herself on the ground: "The emperor please grant me death."

There was no excuse, no confession, just begging for death, Gongsun Ce was somewhat surprised, this woman with a weak appearance had determination in her eyes.

"You desperately rescued someone, instead of staying with him, you came back to beg for death?"

"Saving him is to repay his love. When I come back, I dare not betray the emperor's favor." Liu Yiyi lay on the ground without even lifting her head, her voice was as calm as the water of Yanluo Lake.

"Hehe." Zhao Zhen laughed: "Yiyi, this is not a world, it's hard to live up to your expectations, it's more of a dilemma."

Facing the betrayer, the emperor would say such sentimental and melancholy words, which surprised several people present, and Liu Yiyi unconsciously raised her head, then hurriedly lowered her head.

Zhao Zhen turned to Gongsun Ce to gossip: "Aiqing, look, this Liu Yiyi is the wing guard who rescued you from the flames. Although she is a woman, she is very capable and ranks second among the leaders of the Forbidden Army."

Isn't the leader of the Forbidden Army the Yinlongwei?Gongsun Ce's mind became chaotic after a moment of clarity. Originally, he only knew that Liu Yiyi had betrayed Pang Tong, but he didn't want her to be a hidden dragon guard like Ding Chou.

The emperor's direct soldiers are lurking beside him one by one, like thunder that will explode at any time.The emperor and Pang Tong have never stopped fighting. No matter how high-sounding the appearance is, this cruel struggle will never stop until one side is defeated. Gongsun Ce feels stupid and wants to stop something. Things have long been far beyond the capabilities.

"However, she let go of the important prisoner, Ai Qing, how do you think I should deal with her?" Zhao Zhen's soft voice pulled back Gongsun Ce's lax mind.

"I...don't know."

Zhao Zhen didn't want to get any answers to his question, he turned to Liu Yiyi and said, "Mo Yi is your husband, so you should save him, but if you save him, you betrayed me. It can be reached." Zhao Zhen put the gloves in his sleeves, lowered his eyelids, and deliberately ignored Gongsun Ce's shock when he heard the name 'Mo Yi'.

"My lord, please tell me that Liu Yiyi is so heartbroken that she will not hesitate."

"I'll give you [-] imperial guards, go north to assist General Liao, and destroy Pang's bandits. If you don't die, you can't return to the court." The implication is that Liu Yiyi is going to fight with death, but Liu Yiyi seems to be able to do it. The sky is so good, he kowtowed his head: "I will serve the country with my death."

Yao Jiuyi clasped his fists and began to play: "Your Majesty, after Pang Tong and Fei Yunqi broke into the palace last time, there were thousands of imperial guards casualties. If [-] imperial troops are transferred to the north at this time, the capital will be empty."

"Haha." Zhao Zhen laughed and said: "Pang Tong has fought for ten years and served as a border general for five years. How could he not understand that only military power is real power? The idea is to suppress the northern army first and cut off my sharp claws, so that I can turn around and deal with me, otherwise, even if he sits in this country, how can he sit securely."

"Your Majesty has far-sighted plans, but just like this, he puts His Majesty in danger. I'm afraid that Pang Thief will return his carbine and it will be impossible to guard against it."

"Dangerous?" Zhao Zhen snorted: "I don't believe that there is no danger in this court hall. I, the ninety-five-year-old, the true son of heaven, can't afford this danger."

Yao Jiuyi kowtowed his head when he heard the words: "This humble minister will definitely protect the emperor with all his strength."

What else they said, Gongsun Ce couldn't hear clearly, the bang in his head covered all the sounds around him.

Pang Tong!

Are you really against it?

That person once promised in the sea of ​​fire that he would never seek rebellion, and he also kept saying that because of Gongsun Ce, he had no interest in the world.

What's ridiculous is, Gongsun Ce, you actually chose to believe him.

Gongsun Ce's heart felt empty, as if a transparent hole had been dug out by someone, his head ached, and the snack he had just eaten rolled from his stomach to his heart.Gongsun Ce clutched his chest, not caring even about the pain in his bones, and vomited up on his stomach on the side of the bed.

-----------

The autumn wind is always cool, a gust of wind slipped in from nowhere, and spun around Gongsun Ce's neck. Gongsun Ce woke up in a daze, opened his eyes, and found himself lying on the familiar East Nuan Pavilion It was already dark on the dragon bed, and the colorful palace lanterns were lit in the Nuan Pavilion, emitting a soft light.

I heard someone outside the Nuan Pavilion say: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Mr. Gongsun just went out suddenly, blowing the lake wind, and catching a cold, so he vomited continuously."

Zhao Zhen snorted angrily: "Why do you become unconscious when you catch a cold and vomit?"

"Your Majesty, calm down!" I think the man knelt down: "My lord's internal organs are damaged, and the stomach is even worse. The wind and cold will cause the meridians to be blocked, and even coma. As long as you can breathe well for a few days, you will be fine. , if you want to go out again, it’s important not to let adults blow your hair.”

It seemed that Zhao Zhen was satisfied with the answer, and didn't blame him any more, but only ordered to warm the medicine in water, and serve him to drink when the lord woke up.

The sound of light footsteps gradually sounded, and Gongsun Ce knew that Zhao Zhen was coming. He closed his eyes and pretended not to wake up. The proud king just stood in front of the bed without even lifting the bed curtain. After a while, Gongsun Ce heard footsteps again, Zhao Zhen finally left, and the person who was ordered to serve Gongsun Ce blew out the lights in the warm pavilion, and retreated to the outside.

In the moonless night, the night is pure and deep, touching people's soul softly like water.

The darkness has a gentle and stable power that wraps every inch of skin and contains every emotion. Those emotions that became distorted after being suppressed finally burst out without any scruples in this quiet and cool night.

Pang Tong, have you been lying to me all this time?

In fact, you just want me to help you find Yiwang Bow and Weizun Sword, so as to help you achieve supremacy. I have never thought about such a simple truth.

Pang Tong, you should hate me, right?

In the Taimiao battle, if I hadn't been a hindrance and let the little kite beg Yelvwen to lead troops to pretend to attack the Song Dynasty, you might have been the king already.

Ridiculous, ridiculous, Gongsun Ce stretched out his hand to caress his heart, only the heart was still as cold as before, and he couldn't feel the temperature of his palm at all.

A corner of my heart was torn, and there was nowhere to hide for my true self.

When sending the little kite away, my heart seemed to be twisted by someone, and I thought it was love because of the dull pain; when Bao Zheng fell off the cliff, my heart seemed to be hollowed out, and I thought it was love up.

I never expected that one day, in a lonely and dark night, I would silently open my chest, and besides the pain, there would be deep roots of love inside.

He remembers how he looked when he first came to Luzhou to look for him; he remembers the dazzling sword moves he danced under the Phoenix Pines; He remembered that in the other courtyard of the hot spring, he healed him from the cold and combed his wet hair; he remembered his kiss, the domineering strength and the gentle touch.

But, Pang Tong, come and tell me yourself, are these all fake?

Memory is like a river that has opened its gates, and the scene after scene is terribly clear.

Gongsun Ce remembered the last two sentences of the four riddles of Yege Forest: Don't want to dance with ghosts and ghosts, just ask Xiangshou to be an outlier.

Until I got Weizun, I didn't know what these two sentences refer to. Now that I think about it, what I want to talk about is the end of this relationship?

Gongsun Ce laughed, even the gods and Buddhas in the sky knew that this relationship was doomed to a bleak end from the very beginning, two people with completely opposite positions, why should they believe that feelings can change everything.

Gongsun Ce found sadly that he did not hate Pang Tong.He just fulfilled the mission entrusted to him by his family, he has no position to hate him, but he can't find anything to support his feelings.

Finally, amidst the confusion, tears fell from the corners of his eyes, one by two forming a thread. Gongsun Ce covered his head tightly with the brocade quilt, and his suppressed gasp was wrapped in the brocade quilt, which did not disturb the tranquility of the night. .

In the morning, when Zhao Zhen came to see him again, he opened his eyes, staring at the top of the bed a little absentmindedly.

"My minister, see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live." Gongsun Ce stubbornly straightened up half of his body, which could barely be regarded as a salute.

Zhao Zhen lifted up the bed curtain halfway and hung it on the dragon head hook as usual.She stretched out her hand and pressed his shoulder back on the bed. Seeing his distraught appearance, she knew everything in her heart, but she wanted to ask: "Ai Qing, do you still want to know Pang Tong's whereabouts?"

"Chen, I'd rather him die." Gongsun Ce smiled indifferently, as if he was talking about an irrelevant person.

Zhao Zhen looked at him silently, trying to catch some clues from his expression, and then smiled: "Rebellious ministers and thieves, everyone can punish them."

"The minister is guilty." Gongsun Ce looked at Zhao Zhen squarely, his eyes suddenly became clear and clear, but Zhao Zhen lowered his eyelids unconsciously: "The minister knew that Pang Tong had the intention of disobeying the minister, but he followed him to play Wang Xunweizun, so that it caused Today's situation, my lord..."

Zhao Zhen reached out his hand to signal him not to say any more: "Pang Tong's eloquent words, it's understandable for Ai Qing to be bewitched by him."

"The wolf of the Pang family is ambitious, with or without those magical weapons, he will rebel against it, but it is a matter of time, and Aiqing risked his life to obtain the Weizun Sword for me, and naturally it will teach them to be afraid, which is a great achievement .”

Zhao Zhen deliberately said that Gongsun Ce's purpose of taking the sword was for himself. Gongsun Ce could not refute it. Knowing his painstaking efforts, he was full of guilt towards the king. Faceless Monarch, please go north with the army and be loyal to the country."

Unexpectedly, he would make such a request, Zhao Zhen was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "I'm afraid Aiqing has other selfish motives besides being loyal to the country?"

"I don't dare to hide it. Pang Tong owes me something. I want to ask him to get it back." Gongsun Ce frowned, and said every word sonorously.

"I'm not allowed!" Zhao Zhen roared almost immediately, and immediately realized his gaffe, turned his back and looked at the slightly opened corner of the carved window of the Nuan Pavilion.

"Aiqing, once the matter of Pang Thief is over, and your body is in good shape, I will promote you as Yushi Taiping Zhang, and become my left prime minister."
