How many buildings are in the mist

Xie Yan insisted on sending Cui Xuanji back to Jiankang first, but Cui Xuanji refused, "Think about it for yourself, so many of my soldiers are still here, so I'll go first, it's inappropriate. You let the boat take the They sent them back to rest, and took the martyred officers and soldiers back for burial."

Xie Yan gave Cui Xuanji a white look, "It's easy for you to bring one more on the boat. You're not a big rock, and you can overturn the boat? Look at how tired and injured you are, why don't you go back to the building?" Should Kang go to heal his wounds and stay in Guangling to eat the few herbs left?"

Cui Xuanji pushed her, because he was exhausted, and his movements seemed weak, "What can I do to recuperate when I go back to Jiankang? Now that the war is not over, I will be equally busy when I go back. If I really want to rest, I will stay in Guangling. Just leave everything to my leopard."

Xie Yan folded his arms and stood in front of Cui Xuanji, who was half lying on the couch, "I don't believe a word you say, you bastard."

Cui Xuanji smiled and said: "You still make fun of me, but you can't treat me like this just because you saved me."

Xie Yan raised her eyebrows, "Aren't you going back?"

Cui Xuanji suddenly coughed, "cough cough cough cough——you send the wounded and the wounded first, cough cough cough cough... my subordinates, I will rest for a few days before leaving. Otherwise, how can I go back when you look at me like this? ?”

Xie Yan shook his head and expressed helplessness, "You, you are simply afraid that His Majesty will see you like this when you go back, and force you to rest and not let you work, right? If you want me to say, you will leave it to her. Like last time , how good would it be to live in the palace? It’s not—”

"Stop talking." Cui Xuanji interrupted, "I'll take care of it. Guangling Sunshine is better than Jiankang. Go away and let me bask in the sun."

Xie Yan sat beside her and served her tea.From time to time, generals came to report back, and the two dealt with it together.At the beginning, the imperial court did not designate who would act as the prefect after the recapture of Guangling. After the victory report was sent back, the imperial court ordered that all major military and political affairs in Guangling be temporarily represented by Xie Yan.But many things were arranged temporarily after Cui Xuanji came, Xie Yan didn't want to send people to trouble her repeatedly, so they just stayed together, which was convenient for work.Xie Yan saw Cui Xuanji lying half-lying there, eyes half-closed, her left arm lay motionless on one side because of the torn wound, and felt distressed, so she put the teacup in the palm of her right hand, and said: "You immediately For this great achievement, the imperial court should reward you greatly."

Cui Xuanji laughed lightly when he heard the words, "It's as if you haven't done any meritorious service."

Xie Yan waved his hand, "I can't compare to you, with such a small number of people, I can stop Murong Hu's army."

Cui Xuanji opened his eyes and asked: "Speaking of this, did Murong Hu retreat completely?"

"Retired, before you woke up in the morning, the news from the border came. I forgot to tell you just now."

"That's good. Just go down and strengthen the city defense. It's just that the imperial army can't go back for a while."

Xie Yan nodded, "But it doesn't matter if you don't go back. Wu County has been pacified. You guard Guangling and the court's morale is boosted. The rebels probably won't last long." Cui Xuanji nodded, his eyes almost closed.Seeing this, Xie Yan stopped talking and let her go to sleep.

When I came to rescue her, I found that her complexion was dark.After Murong Hu retreated, she stood where she was and fainted, frightening herself half to death.After asking other people, I found out that this lunatic hadn't slept for several hours in the past few days.How did you persist?

Go to sleep, go to sleep.Xie Yan got up and went out of the house, closing the door.

After another five days, Xie Yan half-forced Cui Xuanji to be sent back to the boat after waiting for the emperor's letter to arrive.She didn't understand why Cui Xuanji procrastinated, but she just intuited that it had something to do with Feng Zihuan.But she didn't care about it, she just asked Cui Xuanji to bring a letter back, saying that she was of low moral character, and asked the court to send someone quickly.

On the other side of the Yangtze River, Feng Zihuan really wanted to welcome Cui Xuanji back in person, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt guilty towards Zhu Xianzhi; Missing: I want to suppress my indulgence, I want to indulge my depression, the opposite emotions are like black and red ink intertwined with each other, there is me in you, and you in me, but they can't blend together.In the end, she decided to send Cui Yi to meet her, and directly sent Cui Xuanji back to Cui's residence to rest, at least she didn't have to run around and pay respects.She forced herself to stay in the palace to discuss the next stage of military and political affairs with Feng Zizhang.

When a guard came back and reported that General Zhonglang had returned to the mansion, Feng Zihuan began to ask Cui Xuanji about his return in detail in front of Feng Zizhang.Where is she hurt, how is she hurt, does she look good, and is she in good spirits.The guard said that Zhonglang was shot by arrows in his left arm and right leg, so he couldn't use crutches, so he was carried overboard; but other than that, everything else seemed to be fine.

When Feng Zihuan heard the words "being carried down", her heart suddenly tightened, and her heart was aroused, and the latter sentence made her even more angry: "What do you mean by 'looks good'? ! How did you see that?! You can’t even walk?! What kind of nonsense are you talking about..."

When Feng Zihuan lost his temper, the guard didn't know what to do other than kneel down and plead guilty.When Feng Zizhang saw this, he immediately spoke out to smooth things over, explicitly reprimanding the guards for not observing carefully, but privately said that Feng Zihuan would inevitably make mistakes if he didn't ask others to tell the story, and then said that the guards couldn't speak and had to leave quickly.Sure enough, Feng Zihuan also knew that he was unreasonable and merciless, so he didn't punish him, and told the guard to go away.As soon as the guards left, the hall fell silent.After waiting for a long time, a sigh broke the silence.

Feng Zizhang said with a smile: "If my sister is really worried, just go and see it tonight or tomorrow. Isn't Imperial Doctor Qin already gone? If she comes back at night, my sister can call her to ask the old man."

Feng Zihuan smiled wryly, "Yes, yes. I should go to meet her, after all she has made such great achievements. But I am afraid that she will not be able to rest if I disturb her."

Besides, I don't know, what should I say if I see her?

Why is it all like this?

"Sister, do you want to reward Master Cui?" Feng Zizhang hurriedly changed the subject.

"Of course. It's just that I'm also thinking that she has done too much for the court and the royal family in the past few years. I don't know what to reward her. The fine land and the beautiful house can't compare to her home. Duke Marquis, she was originally. You What do you think?"

Seeing his sister's distress, Feng Zizhang said: "Actually, according to military merits, being a Marquis is enough. Anyway, the title of Duke Yuzhang is to be passed on to her elder brother, so it's perfectly fine for my sister to confer another title on her. If she doesn't want it, sister You can also add her salary."

Feng Zihuan shook his head, "You said it lightly. It's just..."

"What is sister worried about?"

"I'm worried that on the one hand, the court will criticize her, and on the other hand, she herself will not accept it."

Feng Zizhang smiled and said: "Who in the court would not accept it? Without Master Cui, the Yan army has already arrived at Jiankang City. If my sister is worried about the timing, then when the war is over, it will be fine. As for Master Cui himself, sister, there is Sometimes I think too much, I just restrain myself."

Feng Zihuan laughed, and Feng Zizhang keenly saw a bitterness in his sister's smile.

"Zizhang, is Xie Yan treating you well?"

Suddenly being asked this question, Feng Zizhang blushed a little, "Very good."

"You don't quarrel?"

"Not noisy. There is no time for disagreement."

Feng Zihuan nodded, "Yeah. You didn't want much, so you got it. My sister envied you very much. Sometimes I feel that it is not so good for the emperor to have the world, because he has the world and a person's heart. It’s not the same thing. Maybe you can change the world with one person, but you can’t change one person with the world.”

Feng Zizhang was silent.

After a gust of wind, the two sisters looked at the clouds in the sky at the same time. The clouds were slightly red, as if it was going to snow.Feng Zihuan immediately called the female officer to come and order to reward charcoal to Cui's mansion to warm the wounded and sick. "Say it's my reward, don't let her not accept it." Feng Zizhang said with a smile: "Sister is so domineering, yet she still laments that she can't get it? Maybe sometimes you might as well be softer."

Feng Zihuan was about to refute, but realized that this meant that Feng Zizhang had seen through her thoughts on Cui Xuanji, but he couldn't get the words out of his mouth.Feng Zizhang also regretted his slip of the tongue and chose to remain silent.Fortunately, a begging Duan Qichen came and broke the awkward silence.

Duan Qichen originally wanted to come when Cui Xuanji's good news came back, but after thinking about it, he waited patiently until today, and after making sure that Cui Xuanji returned safely, he changed into a set of plain clothes and came to meet the saint. .Walking into the hall, seeing Feng Zizhang was there, I knew that although I had something to say, it was a little bit more chance of winning.Then, with a restrained pretty face, she stepped forward slowly and knelt down to pay her respects.Feng Zihuan asked her to get up and talk, and she got up too, not daring to kneel on the ground and threaten the emperor.

"Your Majesty, this concubine came here today for the sake of Concubine Ning's younger sister." Feng Zihuan nodded and didn't look at her, seeming a little indifferent.She was prepared for this, and continued: "Now, the father and son of the Zhu family's rebels have arrived, and Zhu Shijing also confessed in prison that this matter has nothing to do with the side branch, it is just the plan of his father and son. What's more, Concubine Ning has lived for a long time The deep palace is only implicated because of blood. She usually manages the harem and has contributed a lot to the royal family. Now, the concubine thinks that it is time to let her out and give her freedom. Please forgive me."

She lowered her head and felt that Feng Zizhang was looking at her.But the emperor remained silent.

Not long after, Feng Zizhang looked away, she maintained her posture, and heard Feng Zizhang say: "Sister, Sister Concubine Duan is right. There were various needs at that time to separate the Zhu family's siblings for detention. Letting them go now is also necessary. At least let the world see that even when the royal family is dealing with such a mixed matter of official and private affairs, it is not only fair and strict, but also not completely unreasonable. Sister, show now A little tenderness from the royal family is also necessary for the battle situation and to stabilize people's hearts."

Duan Qichen thought that after Feng Zizhang's words passed, the emperor would always be persuaded.Feng Zihuan still didn't look at anyone and remained silent.Not only did he not express whether he agreed, nor did he ask where his doubts were.Before coming here, she had already thought about how to resolve various questions that Feng Zihuan might ask, but she didn't think about what to do with the indifference.She panicked a little.

"Your Majesty—" before she finished speaking, Feng Zihuan suddenly said, "Although Zhu Shijing and Zhu Gaozhi have arrived, the interrogation is still going on. I also believe that Concubine Ning is not involved. But if at this juncture , the matter was not over for a few days, and I let him go. Wouldn't it cause people in the world to think that I am favoritism? Because I am the uncle of the country, and because I belong to the Zhu family, I have been forgiven too much? Isn't it just what I did to the Zhu family before? Excessive leniency caused Guangling to almost fall into the enemy's hands this time? If I give them another chance now, wouldn't it be true and ridiculed?"

"elder sister!"

"His Majesty!"

Both Duan Qichen and Feng Zizhang wanted to stop the emperor from continuing, but Feng Zihuan was unmoved at all. She actually agreed to release Zhu Xianwan, but she couldn't help but continue because she was angry when thinking about it.

"Besides, plotting rebellion is the crime of the Yi people anyway. The Gu family just burned their ancestral house and family in Wu County to be buried, and all the people in Jiankang were also beheaded; the Zhu family, who colluded with the enemy and treason, can be released so lightly." pass?"

"Your Majesty!" Duan Qichen stood up, went to the emperor and knelt down, "If your Majesty can't do it for the sake of the living, then do it for the sake of the dead!" She pressed her forehead to the ground tightly, and said Still talking endlessly about what Zhu Xianwan has done in the palace, the blood relationship with the two princesses, and her poor health. Now that winter is here, there is only one servant who is too busy. Concubine Ning’s palace is cold and should be Hurry up and change places to live and so on.She couldn't see Feng Zihuan's expression, and didn't know that Feng Zihuan was actually not listening to her.

Feng Zizhang wanted to speak out to help, but Duan Qichen spoke too fast and too much, and she couldn't get in.However, she glanced at her elder sister on the throne, and she was surprised to find that her elder sister was staring at the open space outside the hall, not knowing what she was looking at, and she also didn't know whether to interrupt the busy two.

Feng Zihuan saw Zhu Xianzhi's back, standing in the courtyard in front of the hall, wearing a thick winter cloak, looking at the branches with a smile.The reason why she could see it was not just because of what Duan Qichen said, but also because she dreamed about Zhu Xianzhi last night.In the dream, she was walking around and upstairs in an old dark wooden house.There were many beautiful women in the house, crowded close to each other, and when they saw her, they all avoided to the sides.And she knew that she had to go upstairs to find Zhu Xianzhi.After pushing open the wooden door of the only room on the top floor, Zhu Xianzhi really stood inside.

She hadn't dreamed of Zhu Xianzhi for a long time, so she shed tears in the dream.

She said to Zhu Xianzhi, long time no see, let me hug you.

She walked up, and everything changed from phantom to dust.Desperate, she couldn't find Zhu Xianzhi anywhere, opened the window, and it was raining in the dark sky.From a distance, she saw Cui Xuanji standing in the street market, looking up at her, with tears on her face, just like that night.

Those who have not lost a loved one are in any way unlikely to understand her grief, let alone her current struggle.From this perspective, maybe Zhu Xianwan is the only one who can understand her.

"Get up." She said to Duan Qichen, Duan Qichen refused—in the end she chose to threaten her by kneeling for a long time—she had no choice but to say as calmly as possible: "I didn't say what to do with Concubine Ning. I just hope ... Don't make a big deal out of this matter, and don't spread it in a bad way. Since you all say so, then this is the case: release Zhu Hezhi from the prison, confine him in his own home, and send the Habayashi Army to strictly guard him. And don't allow him to live happily ever after, so as not to cause trouble. Release Concubine Ning and confine her in your palace, is that all right?"

Duan Qichen kowtowed like pounding garlic, thanking him endlessly.Feng Zihuan sighed, "You all go. I want to be alone for a while." The two resigned and went to work according to their orders.

And Feng Zihuan sat alone in the hall until midnight.
