When the leaves on the tree were about to fall, Liu Fuling left Chang'an Weiyang Palace and moved to Lishan Hot Spring Palace. Most of the affairs are no longer handled in person, only a few ministers are interviewed in the hot spring palace every day, and the political affairs are entrusted to Huo Guang, Yang Chang, Zhang Anshi, and Jun Buyi to handle the affairs. In the selection and appointment of the Minister of State Affairs, there were many disturbances in the court.People who are loyal to the imperial power or who have grudges against the Huo family try their best to protect the interests of the royal family, and strive to get General Zhao Chongguo, who has just been transferred back to the capital, to be appointed by the emperor, while the Huo family tries their best to reject General Zhao Chongguo.After the fierce struggle, Huo Guang, Yang Chang, Zhang Anshi, and Jun Buji were appointed ministers of state affairs. Such a result made many people feel chilled.

Prime Minister Yang Chang is the grasshopper selected by Huo Guang, whichever side the wind blows will fall. Although the right general Zhang Anshi was not as respectful and submissive to Huo Guang as the former prime minister Tian Qianqiu, he had never disobeyed Huo Guang. As for Jingzhao Yinjun, all officials in the court knew that the turning point in his official career was the incident of "Prince Wei's wronged soul".Jun did not doubt that he was famous for his talent when he was young, and Bao Sheng recommended him to the late emperor Liu Che. Although Liu Che granted him an official position, he never really reused him.After Liu Fuling succeeded to the throne, he praised Jun Budoubt's talent, but he was never promoted.After the incident of "Prince Wei's wronged soul" was discovered at the gate of Chang'an, Jun Buyi reacted quickly and handled it properly, minimizing the panic and getting Huo Guang's attention.Huo Guang suggested to the emperor that he would soon promote Jun Buji to be Jing Zhaoyin, and be in charge of investigating the case of "Prince Wei's wronged soul". .From then on, Jun Buji really began to become an important minister of the Han Dynasty.

Don't you understand that with these four ministers of state affairs, who will have the final say on future political affairs? Being far away from Chang'an seems to be far away from conflicts and troubles, at least for Yunge. In the past, Brother Ling could really give her very little in a day.Often, when she wakes up in the morning, he has already left, and she can't see him until late at night.And now, he gave her all his time. Without the restrictions of the palace rules, without worrying about secret prying eyes, let alone fearing unknown dangers, he and her lived an ordinary life as a couple.

Yun Ge washes his hands and makes soup, he reads, writes, paints, and plays the flute. Holding hands, the two walked in the mountains, watching streams, waterfalls, clouds rising, Xia Fei, or nothing at all. Yun Ge taught him how to make a trap to catch birds. In the end, the master only caught three birds, but the apprentice caught nine birds. He taught Yun Ge how to carve a seal, Yun Ge always broke the blade of the carving knife, and did not carve a single character, but later he had the most exquisite jade seal in the world. Once, the two of them got very excited and got up before dawn to collect the dew on the bamboo leaves and bring it back to make tea. After working for several mornings, they finally collected all the dew and drank the tea. It’s not worth it!” On the second day, the two of them slept until past noon before getting up.

They also soak in hot springs together. Liu Fuling had never understood why his father made the hot spring pool so strange, he specially placed jade pillows, but the location was strange, he specially built jade couch, not only one, but the style was weird.As for other things, he didn't even understand the use of them.Of course, he never thought about it. Every time he came to Lishan before, he just rested quietly by the pool, leaning on the jade pillow. Although he was in the hot spring, his heart was attached to the world. But Yunge was different, she didn't soak in the hot spring, but swam around in the hot spring, curious about everything she couldn't understand, and wanted to understand.Yun Ge's mind is clever and weird, with boldness and enthusiasm that ordinary girls don't have, and she persists in not giving up until she achieves her goal. Under her tireless exploration, he also gradually understands the meaning of the hot spring in a low whisper with a blushing face. The function and meaning of all settings.

One afternoon, just waking up from the remnant wine, he scribbled a picture. A pool of green waves is rippling, and two mandarin ducks play together.One is on the surface and the other is half submerged at the bottom.In the side corner, there is an inscription "What is the most ecstasy in memory". After Yun Ge saw it, she was ashamed and annoyed at first, and took the painting to tear it up. Liu Fuling looked at her with a smile, and didn't intend to stop her. Unexpectedly, Yun Ge rolled her eyes, picked it up for a closer look, Xia dyed her cheeks, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised, smiling and angry, "Since my husband 'likes' so much, let's draw a picture every time from now on!"

The smile on Liu Fuling's face froze instantly, but Yun Ge laughed out loud. The sun and the moon are so swift in the mountains, Liu Fuling only felt that the time of each day was so short.In his life, he had never wished for time to slow down so much, but time passed by more and more quickly. The frequency of his heartache became more and more frequent, and the pain became more and more severe, and he could no longer hide it from Yun Ge. The pain piercing like a thousand arrows made his body completely out of his control.When it's mild, the limbs convulse, and when it's severe, the whole body twitches.

Liu Fuling was very worried about Yunge before, but later found that every time he got sick, Yunge didn't show any panic, she always hugged him very calmly, and whispered something in his ear, sometimes it was a story, Sometimes it's a joke, sometimes it's a poem, sometimes it's nothing but calling his name over and over again. "Brother Ling, brother Ling..." He passed out in pain and fell into the darkness, but in her voice, relying on nostalgia to get through the heart-pounding pain time and time again. He promised her that he would build two snowmen with her when the snow fell.

But when the first snow fell in winter, he had difficulty moving and could no longer accompany her for a walk outside. Building a snowman became a promise that could never be fulfilled. He looked at the snow, feeling sad, but Yun Ge smiled and snuggled up beside him and said, "It's such a cold day, it's better to hide in the house with a stove and enjoy the snow." In her smile, while he was relieved, bitterness welled up. He ordered Liu He to come to see him, and the two talked alone in the room for two hours.When Liu He came out, his face was ugly, and there were confusion, confusion, and injustice in his eyes.

Then he said in a low voice, "My lord, it's snowing heavily, why don't you take a carriage back to Chang'an instead." An ordinary sentence made him stand blankly at the gate of the hall, looking at the road in the distance, as if he didn't know what choice to make.The attendants didn't dare to urge him, so they could only stand motionless. Yun Ge walked quickly with a food box in his arms, fearing that the food would get cold, he covered his arms with a cloak on purpose, and suddenly saw a man with white hair and eyebrows standing in the snow in the distance, and a group of "snowmen" behind him Bow down respectfully and stand.

Yun Ge took a detour and walked over. "My lord, 'appreciating the snow with the wind' is a romantic thing, but you can be elegant yourself, why force others to be elegant with you?" Only then did Liu He notice the attendants behind him, and waved his hand, telling them to wait under the porch.He looked Yun Ge up and down, and smiled, the smile was very meaningful, Yun Ge was puzzled by his laughter. "What are you laughing at? What's wrong with me?" "I laughed at you for combing your hair wrong, and you have already entered my Liu's house. Why are you still dressed like a girl?" Yun Ge's face turned red.Ashamed, but not weak, he glared at Liu He viciously, "You have a pair of thief eyes, you know how to look at women all day long! Hmph! If you dare to disrespect your elders and make trouble, I will tell him to beat you!" Already!" Liu He laughed out loud, but although the laughter was loud and clear, there was no hint of joy. "What's the matter with you? Is there anything bothering you?" Liu He looked at her carelessly, and said with a smile: "What can I worry about? Me! I'm so happy. Your arms are bulging, what are you holding?" "The dishes I cook." Liu He became interested when he heard it, "I haven't eaten a decent dish for a long time since the 'Ya Chu' disappeared. What's so delicious?" Yun Ge handed him the food box, "Where's Sister Hongyi?" "Under the mountain." "Then you take it down and eat something with her! Help me give her a voice by the way." The food box is not big, but it is delicately made of two layers. On the first layer, there are two dishes, the bright moon pigeon pine and the emerald jade belt.The bright moon pigeon pine is tender and fragrant, and the jade belt is bright in color, which makes people appetite at first sight.There are three dishes on the second floor, a plate of mixed rice with five colors, a plate containing two round dumplings, which only smells faintly fragrant, but I can’t tell what it is made of, and a plate that looks like Hongxia Baiyun Soup , but Hongxia Baiyun soup should be soup, but this dish is crystal clear and gelatinous. "Is this Hongxia Baiyun Soup?" "It's, it's not. The ingredients are the same as before. Choose brightly colored aged bacon and serve it with tofu to make soup, but there is something strange added to the soup." "what?" "There is often a kind of liquid flowing out of the branches of peach trees, which condenses into a translucent colloid after drying. When the 'peach gum' first flows out, it is fragrant and fragrant, even more fragrant than peach blossoms. The peach gum that has not been secreted for a long time is collected and placed in a closed tile. It can be stored in jars and can be added to soups and vegetables.” Liu He clicked his tongue in amazement, it was the first time he heard about using this dish, Kui Yunge could figure it out. "What is this? It smells like plum blossoms." "Xuezui Meirui grinds a kind of rice tribute from the south into powder, and uses aged plum wine as a primer. It is soft and glutinous in the mouth, but it is not easy to digest, so don't eat too much. You can also see two plum blossoms blooming side by side, with the white outside, just like plum blossoms blooming in the snow." Yun Ge said while covering the food box, "Be careful, it's cold, eat it quickly Order to eat." Yun Ge spent an extraordinary amount of thought on these dishes. Seeing that she was covering them under the cloak with care and respect at the beginning, but now she just gives it as she says, without any hesitation, Liu He asked with a smile: "I will eat with Hong Yi." Now, what do you eat?" Yun Ge smiled, his eyes curved like crescent moons, "There is a big kitchen in the palace, we will have a good meal! I just hope that after you eat the delicious food, you can smile sincerely, and don't smile like that. It looks so good..." Yun Ge made a shivering movement. The picture of Yuesheng drunk flashed in Liu He's mind, "She...she has crescent-shaped eyes when she smiles; she sounds like a camel bell when she speaks; ..." He laughed at Yuesheng at the time, "What is a camel bell? It is a copper and iron bell. Does it sound good? The sound like a silver bell is not bad. A woman is like a tree, can she be beautiful? She is beautiful like a flower." Only later did he understand , For those who have struggled in the desert, the sound of camel bells is the most beautiful sound in the world, and the green trees are the most moving scenery in the world. "Brother Yuexian, don't you think you have a crush on this little girl? No wonder you returned all the girls I gave you. Don't worry, as long as you like her, she will be one of the seven fairies in the sky. I will get you one too." Come……" A joke made the drunk Yue Sheng fly into a rage, and he immediately became sober from the anger. "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think everyone is like you? When I was young, and because I suffered a lot, I was extreme and narrow-minded. People saved me, but I refused to say thank you. The more I understand the truth over the years , the more I feel guilty, the more I am truly grateful to them." Looking at Yuesheng's livid face, he knew that he had said something wrong. With Yuesheng's personality, if he really liked a girl, he wouldn't be able to say a word.He hurriedly bowed and bowed again, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I made a mistake in my words." ... "Hey! What are you thinking?" Yun Ge waved his hands in front of his eyes, "What happened to you today?" "I accidentally remembered an old friend." Liu He shook his head and laughed loudly, "Okay! I'll accept your food, but I won't accept your things in vain, so I won't thank you. I'll leave now. See you again someday." As soon as he finished speaking, he smiled and walked down the mountain, and his followers who were hiding in the snow under the eaves hurriedly followed. In the snowflakes of the sky, he was moving away quickly, and it seemed that he could still hear his laughter, but that laughter was accompanied by the wind and snow, and he always felt sad and helpless, like a strong man cutting his wrist, and like a hero ending his life. Yun Ge looked at Liu He's back in puzzlement, but she didn't have time to think about it. Her heart was filled with the figure of another person. Before Liu He could go far, she turned around and ran into the hall. Liu He did not return to Chang'an this time, but directly returned to the fief Changyi Kingdom. Liu Fuling ordered Liu Xun to come to see him. It has been snowing for two days, but it is still falling.The mountain road was difficult, so Liu Xun abandoned his horse and walked.Halfway up the mountain, an eunuch appeared and ordered Liu Xun's entourage to stop, and he was only allowed to go up the mountain alone.He Xiaoqi wanted to speak a theory, but Liu Xun glanced at him, so he could only quietly back down. The eunuch nodded slightly to Liu Xun, and retreated back into the forest. Liu Xun was the only one left on the winding mountain road. Looking up, the world was white, and the world of mortals was empty. Because of the heavy snow, the streams were blocked, the birds and beasts disappeared, and the only sound in the world was the rustling of snow falling. Amid the rustling sounds, Liu Xun walked for more than an hour before reaching the top of the mountain.The colorful hot spring palace in the past has been changed by white snow, and a silver-clad palace stands in the white world, so pure that it makes people feel depressed. The eunuchs who received him all looked gloomy and serious, and Liu Xun was also cautious in every step and speech. Suddenly seeing a person wearing a red cloak on the hillside, holding a few blooming red plums in his arms, walking down the slope, Liu Xun felt that the sky suddenly brightened, and the depression in his chest unknowingly dissipated a lot. Because there were too many plum blossoms, she covered her head and face, and it was very inconvenient to see the road. While going down the mountain carefully, she had to be careful not to hurt the plum blossoms in her arms. The snow on several rocks had frozen, and the rocks themselves were a little loose. When her foot slipped, she fell on the snow and slid down. Liu Xun and the eunuch leading the way in front of him were shocked and flew forward at the same time. Although the eunuch was in front, he arrived behind Liu Xun. Liu Xun went to pick up Yun Ge with half arms and half support, Yun Ge yelled: "Don't hurt my plum blossoms!" Liu Xun hurriedly used his arms to avoid the plum blossoms, and embraced Yun Ge sideways into his arms, I just feel a faint fragrance, but I don't know whether it is the fragrance of flowers or human fragrance. Yun Ge stabilized his footing, and looked at the plum blossoms first. Seeing that there was nothing wrong, Fang smiled and said to Liu Xun, "Thank you, big brother." Liu asked: "The snowy road is difficult, why don't you ask someone to accompany you to pick plums?" Yun Ge smiled lightly, "I like doing these things by myself." Liu Xun still wanted to speak, but the eunuch beside him said grimly, "The emperor is waiting to see Lord Hou!" Yun Ge said: "You go down! I just want to go there, and go on the same road with Big Brother." When Yun Ge spoke, the eunuch didn't dare to say any more, after saluting, he quietly retreated. Liu Xun wanted to help Yun Ge get the plum blossoms, Yun Ge smiled and said "Thank you", but did not accept his kindness. Walking to the main hall, Yun Ge asked Liu Shun in a low voice, "Is there anyone else inside?" Liu Shun nodded, "Your lords are still here." Then he bowed to Liu Xun and said, "Master Hou, wait for a while, this servant will go in and report to the emperor." Liu Xun was secretly startled, the emperor summoned someone else?He didn't hear about it in Chang'an City. After a while, Liu Shun came back and said to Liu Xun, "The Emperor ordered Lord Hou to go in." Yun Ge stared at Liu Shun eagerly, Liu Shun smiled and said, "The adults are no longer in the hall, but the emperor doesn't know that the girl is also waiting to see the emperor!" Yun Ge followed Liu Xun to the palace, "Brother won't mind if I take up a little of his time. Liu Shun, go find a vase and bring it in." Liu Fuling was leaning on the couch, with a thin face and a tired expression, but there was a peace and joy in his eyes that Liu Xun had never seen before. When Liu Fuling saw Yunge, there was no one else in his eyes, and while helping Yunge brush off the snow from his cloak, he said with a smile, "A snowstorm has already pushed the plum blossoms behind the mountain to bloom." After Liu Xun kowtowed silently, he sat aside by himself. While arranging flowers, Yun Ge said with a smile, "Yes! The trees are blooming really well, but I've already picked all the best ones, everyone should appreciate it, why don't we appreciate it alone." Yun Ge arranged the flowers, and put the bottle under the window, just enough for Liu Fuling to see it when he raised his eyes.She pushed open the window, and heaven and earth suddenly entered through the window: the sky was full of snowflakes, and the red plums were blooming in full bloom. Liu Fuling looked at it silently for a while, then nodded with a smile, and Yun Ge closed the window. Yun Ge pointed at the flower and pointed at himself, Liu Fuling shook his head with a smile, Yun Ge frowned.Liu Fuling beckoned Yunge to go over, carefully inserted the plum blossoms that Yunge had dropped on the table when arranging flowers into Yunge's topknot, looked at it for a moment, and with a smile on his lips, he tapped Yunge's forehead. Yun Ge tilted his head and smiled, and happily left the room. The two of them didn't say a word, but their every move seemed to have explained everything.One didn't see decadence, and the other didn't see sadness, but in the limited time, they tried their best to share the beauty of the world. Before Liu Xun came, it wasn't that he hadn't thought about the current situation of the emperor and Yun Ge, but he never thought that it would be like this.Death is not necessarily painful, but waiting for death must be very painful. If you are not sure of Liu Fuling's condition, you will never believe that these two people are living under the shadow of death every day. Liu Fuling ordered everyone in the hall to go down. Liu Xun sat quietly with his eyes down respectfully, as if he was waiting to listen to the emperor's orders at any time. Liu Fuling stared at him indifferently, without any emotion, "I still remember the first time I saw you, you were reading "Historical Records" and said 'Recently I like to read about the events of the late emperor when he was young', tell me about you experience." Liu Xun was a little dazed, remembering that it was also a very cold day, when he was still in cold clothes, but now he is a royal nobleman, so many things happened in between, it seemed very long ago, when he thought about it carefully, it was only a year. After Liu Xun thought for a while, he said cautiously: "Actually, there are only four words 'forbearance' and 'planning. He was messing around, and Empress Dowager Dou saw him like this, and her murderous intentions eased a little. Unexpectedly, these young people who messed around became the famous Habayashi Army who later became famous all over the world. Liu Fuling smiled: "Your planning is passable, but your forbearance skills are really bad. You are too impatient, too afraid of losing, and your methods are too vicious. You can't even count as 'planning and then acting'. You are much more thoughtful and stable, taking into account both legal principles and human feelings." Liu Xun couldn't help but fisted his hands together, and said calmly: "The matter of Tian Qianqiu is due to my lack of experience in handling affairs, and it's my fault. Uncle Wang grew up in Tianjiao since he was a child, and his knowledge and tolerance are beyond my control." It's possible, I grew up in the market place, sometimes I can't help but go too far, I will change in the future, and I will follow Uncle Wang's work." As he spoke, he kowtowed heavily to Liu Fuling. Liu Fuling wanted to get up, but his body went limp, and before sitting up, he sighed softly, "Xun'er, come here." When Liu Xun heard Liu Fuling's "Xun'er", his heart felt inexplicably sour. How many times in his life had he ever really been a child? He helped Liu Fuling get up from the couch, and walked to the side of the main hall, only to see a huge sheepskin map hanging on the entire wall, showing the Han family's country and mountains.Mountains, rivers, land, and cities are all marked in different colors, and the population of each place is also marked on the side, which makes the viewer suddenly feel like overlooking the world. Liu Fuling asked: "Why is the country so delicate?" Liu Xun answered quickly, "Because of people. Many people like to watch the high mountains and the roaring Yellow River, but I have liked to watch the boats on the river since I was a child. The chant of the boatman, the singing of the fisherwoman, and the singing on both sides of the river. The sound of hawking makes me feel happy. A river without people is too quiet, a city without people is a dead city, and without people, there is no beautiful country.” Liu Fuling nodded, "The country exists because of the people, so we must have a benevolent heart in governing the country. Only by treating the people well and making them live and work in peace and contentment can the country be beautiful and magnificent." On the word "benevolence", he had completely lost to Liu He, Liu Xun didn't dare to say more, and only said: "My minister, please remember." Liu Fuling's voice suddenly hardened, with a hint of chill, "But it's not enough to have a 'benevolence'. If it's a peaceful world, if you only need to guard the country, 'benevolence' governs the world, it's a good thing! Like Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing , the two former emperors have allowed the people of the world to enjoy peace and prosperity for more than 30 years. But now the powerful ministers exercise power inside, and the barbarians invade from outside, and it is necessary to be "hard-hearted" to ensure the stability of the country and the peace of the country." Liu Xun suddenly turned his head to look at Liu Fuling, and when he met Liu Fuling's eyes, he felt the sharpness in his eyes was piercing, he felt fear, and immediately lowered his head again. Liu Fuling said: "Since I ascended the throne at the age of eight, I have acted with self-discipline, and I am worthy of the people of the world." Liu Xun said: "The emperor is a rare benevolent monarch." Liu Fuling was not happy about it: "But I am not a good emperor! I have a benevolent heart, but I am not cruel. I am not as decisive and ruthless as the first emperor in case." Liu Xun was speechless.If Liu Fuling had been the first emperor, the struggle between the three powerful ministers might have been a different situation. The first emperor would not care about the lives of the people at all. During the rebellion of Prince Wei, the city of Chang'an was filled with blood, and countless innocent people were killed.The late emperor would rather kill his own sons and grandsons by mistake than let them go. If Liu Fuling had been the late emperor, he would not have allowed him to live until now, and the current situation would not have happened. Liu Fuling pointed to the majestic and majestic mountains and rivers of the Han family, and said solemnly to Liu Xun, "I will entrust this country to you. I only hope that you, with benevolence in your heart and a sharp sword in your hand, will govern the country, stabilize the country, and benefit the country." All the people in the world." Liu Xun's body trembled, and he stared at Liu Fuling in disbelief. After a while, he asked almost to himself, "The emperor... has the emperor always wanted to pick a resolute and resolute person?" Liu Fuling smiled and said: "That's right! If I were to choose friends, I would definitely choose He Nu, but Jiangshan Sheji does not allow me to make decisions based on my personal preference. What's wrong? Don't you want it?" Liu Xun hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, but he was still a little dazed, "Minister... Thank you, Your Majesty!" He immediately realized that the address was inappropriate, and changed his words: "Xun'er kowtows to the emperor for his great kindness." Liu Fuling stood for a long time, exhausted his strength, turned around and walked towards the couch, his footsteps were weak, Liu Xun hurriedly stood up, supported Liu Fuling to sit back on the couch. Liu Fuling said, "Go tell Yu An and order them all to come in." Liu Xun got up and went outside the curtain, and relayed what he said. After a while, several people filed in from outside. As soon as Liu Xun saw the person, he hurriedly stood up. General Zhao Chongguo who held the military power in the northwest, Jun Buyi who was in charge of public security in the capital, and the imperial servant Cao Xinyannian.Zhao Chongguo is a member of Liu Fuling, and everyone in the court knows it.Xin Yannian surprised Liu Xun, but Jun Buyi shocked him. The three of them knelt in front of Liu Fuling's bed to listen to his orders. Liu Fuling pointed to Liu Xun, "From today onwards, you will follow Liu Xun's orders in everything you do. Huo Guangruo agrees to let Liu Xun ascend the throne, very good! Huo Guangruo disagree……" Zhao Chongguo said firmly: "I will also let him agree." Liu Fuling asked Liu Xun: "Did you hear that? Do you have confidence?" Liu Xun knelt down and kowtowed heavily to Liu Fuling, "I would like to thank the emperor for his great kindness. With the help of three adults, I will definitely not disappoint the emperor's high expectations." Liu Fuling asked him to stand up, and ordered Zhao Chongguo, Jun Buyi, and Xin Yannian to kowtow to Liu Xun. When the three of them swore allegiance in front of Liu Fuling, Liu Xun suddenly felt a little afraid to meet Liu Fuling's gaze. After the three of them retreated, Liu Fuling said: "I won't tell you about my arrangements one by one. The three of them and Yu An will tell you everything. Yang Chang is the prime minister recommended by you, you should have a way I don’t have to worry about dealing with him. Zhang Anshi holds the military power in Yanbei, and the garrison commander of the neighboring Guangling Kingdom is his confidant, can I count Zhang Anshi as one of your people?” Liu Xun said confidently: "Your Majesty, rest assured, Zhang He, the eldest brother of the Zhang family, is my benefactor. With Zhang He around, even if Zhang Anshi does not help my minister, he will definitely not help Huo Guang." Liu Fuling nodded, "What I can do for you ends here, and I don't want to take care of the future." Liu Xun hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "The days that I have been in contact with court affairs are still very short. If there is anything wrong, the emperor still needs to point it out." Liu Fuling said: "My way of doing things is different from yours. From now on, you will act according to your way. But, you must remember what I told you earlier, your 'forbearance' skills are still too poor." "I understand that Huo Guang has deep roots in the court, and it is definitely not something that can be resolved in a short time. If it is too urgent, even if the minister's life is involved, it will not be resolved. In the future, the minister must bear in mind the word 'forbearance'. Dare to be greedy for merit." Liu Fuling asked him to get up, and sat down in front of the couch, "You promise me a few things." Liu Xun said: "I will obey the orders of Grandpa Huang." "First, no matter what happens in the future, you are not allowed to kill Liu He." Liu Xun responded immediately: "I obey the order." "Second, don't embarrass Miss Shangguan." "The empress is the first wife of the emperor's grandfather and the elder of the minister. In the future, the minister will treat the queen as a grandson, and he will never dare to be disrespectful." Liu Fuling was slightly stunned, and said word by word: "She is just my queen." Liu Xun was puzzled, right!Shangguan's younger sister is the queen, the emperor's first wife, what's wrong?But he didn't dare to ask, and could only respectfully answer "yes". "I will ask her what she wants and make arrangements. Whether she goes or stays, you have to fulfill her wish." "The minister obeys the order." "Before you ascended the throne, Yu An was able to help you a lot. After you ascended the throne, I'm afraid you won't want to see him again. For you, he knows too much. Use it, don't worry, don't, let alone worry... " Liu Xun was anxious to speak, but Liu Fuling made a gesture to tell him not to say more, "Let him out of the palace, and you are not allowed to touch him." "The minister obeys the order." After Liu Fuling thought for a moment, he said lightly: "That's all. You write all these things down." Liu Xun picked up a pen and wrote down all the promised things on the white silk. After signing and stamping the seal, he printed a handprint on it. Liu Xun showed Liu Fuling what he had written, and Liu Fuling nodded. Liu Xun rolled up the white silk and put it on the case, hesitantly asked, "Where's Yun Ge?" Liu Fuling's calmness and indifference was finally broken, and his eyes turned sad, "She is just a mountain girl, and she will never have anything to do with you in the future." Liu Xun nodded silently, "I can't make up my mind about something, and I want to ask Grandpa Pope." "go ahead!" "Meng Jue, is this person usable or not?" Liu Fuling didn't answer, but asked instead: "Looking at the world, can you find a better person to govern Huo Guang?" Liu Xun shook his head, "No." "I haven't really used him, I just want to leave him to you. You will only be one person in the future, but there will be hundreds of courtiers. How to make courtiers restrain each other is a profound knowledge. Learn it slowly! Huo Guang One day, you can use him with confidence, and Huo Guangruo is gone..." Liu Fuling said lightly, "You know what to do better than me." Liu Xun nodded, "Is there anything else the emperor wants to tell the minister?" Liu Fuling thought for a moment and then said: "According to what Yu An told me afterwards, in the fight with the Qiang warriors, you showed no weakness. Until the end of the competition, everyone still couldn't see through your martial arts. Meng Jue's kung fu But there are weaknesses to be found, so when Ke Erdada thought that he could kill Meng Jue, unexpectedly, Meng Jue's 'weakness' was not his 'weakness' at all." Liu Xun thought that he had done his best that day, but when he heard Liu Fuling's comment, he thought about it for a while, as if he had realized something, but he was very unconvinced in his heart, thinking that he would win and Meng Jue would lose.He kowtowed to Liu Fuling and said respectfully: "I understand." Liu Fuling said: "You are more suitable to be emperor than me, I have nothing to teach you, you go back!" Liu Xun kowtowed, kowtowed three times in a row, but still did not get up, knelt for a while, and kowtowed nine times in a row, each heavier than the other, until finally he seemed to be bleeding from the kowtow. His behavior was a bit inexplicable, but Liu Fuling didn't stop him at all, just smiled and said: "Leave your heart to the people of the world, you will govern this country well, and do everything I failed to do. That's it." With that said, the man leaned back on the couch, closed his eyes, and waved him away. Liu Xun stood up, walked a few steps, suddenly hesitated, hesitated for a moment, finally unwilling, gritted his teeth, turned back and knelt down again. "Your majesty, I am bold, but I don't ask this time, I am afraid... I have been confused for a long time. When the emperor summoned me for the first time, I asked me, 'What is the happiest thing in this life?'" What do you want to do most? What's the matter?' I dared to know the emperor's answer." Liu Fuling didn't answer immediately, but closed his eyes, as if he was thinking. Liu Xun was relieved that Liu Fuling was the same as he was back then, and he couldn't give an answer to this question. But slowly, a smile overflowed from Liu Fuling's brows. "There are so many happy things, I can't think of which one is the happiest." Liu Xun's heart was shaken, and he couldn't tell whether it was surprise, envy or jealousy. A moment later, Liu Fuling said with a smile: "The happiest thing is to marry a good wife." Liu Xun waited with bated breath for Liu Fuling's next answer. The smile on Liu Fuling's eyebrows faded away, and he didn't speak for a while. Liu Xun stood quietly for a while, seeing that Liu Fuling was very tired, and seemed to have fallen asleep. He got up gently, and was about to step back, when he suddenly heard Liu Fuling said softly: "The thing I want to do the most is to grow old with her day by day." Liu Xun was terrified and dared not look directly at Liu Fuling. Liu Fuling waved his hand, Liu Xun turned around immediately, hurriedly stepped out of the house, almost fleeing. Yun Ge piled snow outside the house to make a snowman. Two mountain monkeys came from nowhere and followed behind her fearlessly, helping her to pile up a handful of snow for a while, and pulling Yunge's cloak for a while, as if they were afraid of Yunge's cold, brushing the snow on it, It would be a disservice to push away the snow that Yunge had swept away. Yun Ge didn't see any annoyance, and went about her own business with a smile on her face, letting the monkey make trouble around her. She has been outside for a long time, and even though she is wearing a snow cap and a cloak, there are still many snowflakes on her hair and temples. There were several eunuchs standing under the eaves, but none of them went to help, they just watched quietly. Seeing Liu Xun coming out, she raised her head and smiled, threw the broom, ran to the eaves, stamped her feet, took off her cloak and snow cap, and hurried into the house. The two monkeys screamed "Zhizhi" and seemed to be very happy. They also ran to the eaves, imitating Yun Ge, stomping and jumping, jumping off all the snow on their bodies, and "Zi Liu" got into the house. The eunuch standing outside the house was not surprised, so he allowed the two monkeys to rush into the hall. Qixi brought Liu Xun's cloak and snow cap over and helped Liu Xun put them on. Seeing that Liu Xun was watching Yun Ge, she said with a smile, "Those two monkeys were picked up by the girl last year. After raising them for a winter, they were put back Since the emperor and the girl came to the hot spring palace, the two monkeys got the news somehow. They came to see the emperor and the girl from time to time, and they often brought gifts. The big peaches they sent last time were bigger than the tribute peaches in the palace. It's delicious. It's weird enough, and the two mountain monkeys know how to nostalgia." Holding an umbrella, Qixi sent Liu Xun to the gate of the palace, and said with an apologetic smile, "I can only send the Marquis here. The servant ordered another person to take the Marquis down the mountain. Depending on the weather, we need to light up a few more lanterns." Liu Xun said: "No need, I often walk at night and am not afraid of the dark. When I entered the palace for the first time, my lord took good care of me, Liu Xun will always remember it." Qixi glanced around from the corner of her eyes, and said with a smile: "It's all the job of a slave, if Hou Ye needs a place for a slave, just tell me." Liu Xun nodded, turned and left, Qixi wanted to give him an umbrella, but he lightly waved his hand, not asking for it. Snowflakes fluttered and fell endlessly. Because it was getting late, the clouds accumulated in the sky were leaden gray, piled up, and the sky seemed to fall down, making the forest more and more bleak.The lonely mountain road twists and turns down, as if there is no end. Liu Xun walked slowly among the snowflakes, like strolling in a courtyard. He was already tall and healthy, but at this moment, the low-hanging sky and the dim mountain seemed to be the only one left in the world, which made him even more beautiful. Majestic and majestic. Holding an umbrella, Qixi stood in front of the palace gate, watched Liu Xun disappear into the snow, and nodded slightly. It was almost dawn when Liu Xun returned to Chang'an, and he didn't have time to rest, so he ordered He Xiaoqi to invite Zhang He, and arranged to meet at a butcher's house. He changed into a plain robe and was about to go out when Heizi hurried over, "Brother, there is someone..." He slapped his forehead and said respectfully, "Master Hou, there is someone asking to see you." Liu Xun scolded with a smile: "Don't be so polite, we are brothers, what kind of 'father' are you calling them?" Heizi grinned hotly in his heart, "I think so too, 'Big brother, big brother' are so close, it's because of Xiao Qi who fucked me up, insisting on my name being 'Hou Ye'. Big brother, there is a scholar who wants to see you. " As Liu Xun walked out, he said, "Didn't I say 'Isn't anyone here'?" Heizi held up the lantern in his hand and showed it to Liu Xun. "I replied in the same way, but this person is very good at talking, talking about words that we don't understand, and we are all stunned by him. He said that he had an old friend with the elder brother, and asked me to take this lantern. I handed it over to the eldest brother, and said that he was from Xue... Xue or something like charcoal fire." Heizi chuckled, but he really couldn't remember the scholar's original words. Liu Xun took a closer look at the lantern, and immediately recognized that it was the one that Yun Ge wanted during the Lantern Festival last year.He took the lantern and handed it to the attendant at the side, "Take it down, so you can keep it." He smiled and said to Heizi: "Order this scholar who is 'sending charcoal in the snow' to come to see me, if he can tell one, two, three, four, that's all." , if you can't tell..." Heizi clenched his fist, and said, "Let's loosen his bones." When the scholar saw Liu Xun, he greeted him courteously. He was neither humble nor overbearing, with a calm demeanor, without the restraint of ordinary ordinary people when they first met the royal family and nobles. Liu Xun laughed and said, "Last time, I actually missed it." The scholar said with a smile, "It's not that Lord Hou is misreading, but Master Hou has more calculations in his heart, and he doesn't care about watching carefully." Liu Xun asked him to sit down, "I'm asking to see you late at night, what do you dare to ask?" The scholar said: "My surname is Li, my name is Yuan, and I come from Mobei. Chang'an City is my father's hometown. Since I was young, I often heard my father mention the prosperity of the Celestial Dynasty, so I came here to see the customs and customs of the Celestial Dynasty." Liu Xun's heart moved slightly, "Your Honor's name is Gao?" Li Yuan replied very simply: "Li Ling." Liu Xun was stunned for a moment, then Fang smiled and said, "It turns out that the prince of the Huns came from a long way away, and this Marquis was rude."
