It had been raining for many days and it finally stopped, but the weather was also a lot colder because it was already winter.
Yan Yu appeared again at the Wuming Lake with the things he prepared. He still didn't see the old man, but his things were still on the stone. The futon given by Yan Yu was not damaged by the rain, and the slender fishing rod was still there.
Waiting for the person who holds it.
Yan Yu no longer cares whether the old man comes or not. As long as there is still the bait on the stone, it proves that the old man is still here in Liusu Mountain.
Yan Yu didn't come for long, but left after not sitting for a while. This time, she decided to put the side dishes she made here, then patted her butt and left.
"Old man Gou, I'm leaving. I heard that fish are particularly easy to catch in winter and you can catch them without a hook. I won't disturb you, lest you say I bully the weak."
After saying that, Yan Yu went into the woods, sneezed and shook himself up.
After a long time, the two people walked out of another small forest. The little old man looked around and found that no one had trotted to the fast stone. He immediately picked up the food box and said excitedly: "Xiao Wen, this little
The doll is finally willing to keep this thing. For this reason, should I give her a few more books?"
"Teacher, do you have any other books with you?" The man in white looked at the calm lake with a smile like the spring breeze.
"Yes, let's do that." As the old man said, he sat on the futon and opened the food box. There was only a small piece of rice and a few pieces of meat that were so messed up that they couldn't see their original appearance. There was only
The winter bamboo shoots can barely be seen.
"This...can I take back what I said before?"
"Teacher, your words are all good and valuable. Don't take them back casually."
"Oh~." The old man sighed and said, "This little kid still has a very strong prejudice against me. He is trying to kill me for writing."
"Xiao Wen, let me eat it for you. You are young and have a good stomach. You will not be poisoned to death."
The old man handed the food box to the man, and the man shook his head and refused: "I'm not hungry, teacher, you can eat it yourself. This is also my wish. For a small family like theirs, it is not easy to have a meal."
, don’t waste it.”
"They are the only ones from a small family? They have robbed four gardens, and their pockets must be bulging. There are so many delicious foods in the garden, but there is no place to take them away. It's really hard to find." Although the old man said this.
, but still picked up the chopsticks and ate the food inside.
.......
Yan Yu returned home and found that Chen Mo was also there, not running around, and said in surprise: "Hey, why didn't you go out for a walk?"
"You really wish I wasn't home?"
"No, absolutely not."
"Why are you back so early!"
"It was too cold, and the wind by the lake was so strong that it made me shiver."
"Can't you make a bonfire?"
"Yeah, why did I forget this? Look at me..."
"Pig head." Chen Mo continued Yan Yu's words.
"Ah ah ah, you are a pig!" Yan Yu ran to Chen Mo's place of meditation and rubbed his hair hard until it was like a chicken coop.
........
Winter has just entered this year, far to the east of Liusu Mountain, where the Tang Dynasty prospered. The drop in temperature caused people here to put on thick and gorgeous brocade clothes and come to the place to call.
The cold wind blew.
Changjing was the splendid palace. At the end of the early dynasty, the Tang emperor, who had been ill for many reasons, made a very important decision. The emperor abdicated the throne, passed the position to the prince, and became the supreme emperor to recuperate in peace.
People had expected all this, but they didn't expect that the time would come so quickly, and the change of throne would not cause too big a ripple. It's just that this calm situation meant that there were some invisible waves under the surface, and many people were well aware of it.
There were four major families in the Tang Dynasty: the Wei, Fang, Cheng, and Wu families. The successors of each generation of Tang emperors were from one of these four families.
Now that the crown prince has ascended the throne, Fang, as the crown princess, has become the queen. Before, she was called Wei, Fang, Cheng, Wu, but now she has become Fang, Wei, Cheng, Wu.
After retiring from the court, the Emperor of Tang sat on the steps and came to Taihe Gong. This was not the place where he used to deal with business. The prince dismissed the maids and eunuchs, and there were only two of them, father and son. The Emperor of Tang had already laid down on a recliner.
I still cough from time to time.
"Ji Min, it seems that you have done everything for your father. You are really considerate." The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty lay comfortably on the recliner. The more frequent attacks of illness made him no longer have the time to deal with state affairs. Although he was very concerned about that
There was still a lot of reluctance to give up the position, but under the persuasion of Queen Wei, she gave up the position and gave herself time to enjoy her old age.
"This is what a son and minister should do." Prince Tang Jimin said respectfully.
"Now you are no longer a minister, you are the emperor." The Emperor of Tang gently stroked the handle of the recliner, and the soft fur temporarily distracted him from the pain caused by the cough.
"..." Tang Jimin didn't answer.
"My father will not be going to the enthronement ceremony tomorrow. He will be exposed to the cold wind outside. My body cannot bear it."
"Everything must be obeyed by Father."
"I'm just worried about one thing." Emperor Tang said.
As soon as these words came out, Tang Jimin guessed what was going on and said, "As long as I, the eldest brother, are here for a day, they can be their prince with peace of mind."
Emperor Tang coughed a few more times and said, "This is too high a request. I don't expect you to meet such a high request. If one day comes, just let them live. Can you do it?"
Tang Jimin was silent again.
"Father's request is not difficult, isn't it? Why can't you agree?"
"Father, I have never thought of killing them. They are all brothers of the same flesh and blood." Tang Jimin said firmly.
"Sometimes, people will change. Your father has been through this too. As the heir to the royal family, there are many things that you have no control over. My father only hopes that you can agree to his request."
"Then Father, have you done it?"
As soon as Tang Jimin said these words, the atmosphere in the Taihe Palace instantly became solemn.
After a long time, Emperor Tang said in a deep voice: "No."
"Since the father does not have it, then the child must promise the father. Since the father cannot do it, then let the children do it. The best is better than the old. Each generation of emperors is stronger than the previous generation. The unfulfilled dream of the ancestors has a child."
Done." The more Tang Jimin said, the more motivated he became.
"Okay!" Emperor Tang said seriously. "It seems that my vision is correct."
"The Queen has arrived~" the eunuch waiting outside Taihe Palace shouted in his high-pitched voice.
After a while, the dignified and elegant Queen, accompanied by several maids, came to the palace.
"I have met the queen mother," Tang Jimin said respectfully.
The empress walked up to her son, looked at his handsome face, and said with great satisfaction: "Ji Min, you will be the emperor tomorrow, are you nervous?"
"Not nervous."
"After you become an emperor, you must also take good care of your health. Don't let the mountains of memorials overwhelm your body. Look at your father. He didn't listen to his advice at the beginning, and the food is now like this. Only by being healthy can you serve the country.
Do more things." The Queen chattered.
"I know my mother."
"If you don't understand anything, just tell your uncle. He is a bachelor after all, and he has helped your father handle a lot of things. With him taking care of you, my mother can rest assured."
"Grand Scholar Wei is getting old too. It's really good that he has worked under me for half his life, but he also needs to rest." Emperor Tang interjected from the recliner.
"Father and Queen, we still have many matters to deal with today, so I will take my leave first." Tang Jimin quickly found a reason and left the Palace of Supreme Harmony.
The queen waved to her maids, and those people left the place neatly. There were only two people left here again.
The queen gave her husband the tea brought by the maid just now, and the emperor on the last day brought it over.
"Your Majesty, are you ready to kill the donkey so quickly?"
"The bachelor is indeed very old, and I don't believe he has to work hard all his life. If there are any young talents in the Wei family, let them be introduced to Ji Min."
The queen looked at her husband talking to her with his eyes closed, thought for a while, and said softly: "Everything depends on the emperor."
The two people sleeping together on the same bed are now talking in vain and condescendingly in this empty hall.
"I'm afraid I won't live long. Will you come and stay with me then?"
To send the proposition, the queen did not panic and said: "I will go ahead of the emperor and warm the emperor's bed, so that the emperor can have a peaceful sleep."
.......
After walking out of the Palace of Supreme Harmony, Tang Jimin changed his submissive demeanor and began to show the look of an emperor, which is what people often call the aura of a king.
"Your Highness, Your Highness." A young eunuch hurried over.
"Oh, Xiao Linzi, you came just in time. I have to leave the palace for something, so go and help me get ready." Tang Jimin said with a smile.
"This..." Xiao Linzi hesitated.
"What happened? You are so hesitant. How can I expect you to help me pass on the message in the future?" Tang Jimin said lecturingly.
"I came here to report to the Crown Prince. The people from the Ministry of Rites are waiting for you to take charge of the overall situation. Tomorrow is the matter of enthroning the throne. If you have anything to do, please leave His Highness the Crown Prince alone." Xiao Linzi said in a low voice.
"You still want to ask me about this matter? If you can't take care of such a trivial matter, how can I control the country in the future? Raising them is a waste of the court's food." The original good mood was reduced by half.
Looking at Xiao Linzi who was still standing there, he looked at him for a long time before calming down his mood: "Let's go and meet those useless people."
Xiao Linzi saw that the prince gave up the idea of leaving the palace and breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know what could attract the prince outside, so that the prince wanted to run out without even finishing his business.
