Chapter seven hundred and thirty seventh lifelong friend
Yan Guang stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Yin Guiren!"
Yin Lihua returned the favor and said with a smile: "Mr. Yan."
She walked up to the two of them, looked down, and found that there were several fish in Yan Guang's bamboo basket, but there were none in Liu Xiu's basket. The corners of her mouth curled up subconsciously.
Liu Xiu yawned and said calmly: "I have been traveling these days and I am very tired." He did not say this to Yan Guang, but to explain to Yin Lihua why he had not
Can catch fish.
When Yin Lihua heard this, she was dumbfounded. Yan Guang would go fishing every day, and his skills were naturally proficient, but Liu Xiu rarely had a chance to fish once a year. How could he compare with Yan Guang?
She didn't criticize Liu Xiu's refusal to admit defeat. Looking at the fish in a bamboo basket, she said, "Mr. Yan, let me take the fish back and steam it!"
Yan Guang said with a smile: "Zi Ling doesn't dare bother the noble man to cook in person."
Yin Lihua said disapprovingly: "Today, Mr. Yan can also try my craftsmanship."
Yan Guang looked up and smiled, lifted up the bamboo basket and said, "I will help you send the fish back."
Seeing that Yan Guang and Yin Lihua were about to leave, Liu Xiu said, "Ziling, we haven't finished competing yet!"
Yan Guang said: "Your Majesty, it won't be too late to wait until I come back."
"Hmph!" Liu Xiu snorted twice without saying anything more, and continued to look back at the lake.
Yan Guang and Yin Lihua walked together and walked towards the thatched house. On the way, Yin Lihua looked back at Liu Xiu, then lowered her head and said softly: "Mr. Yan, your Majesty has done something wrong. I will report it to you on his behalf."
Apologize."
Hearing this, Yan Guang was startled at first, and then became happy. He waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty, you are too worried. Your Majesty and Zi Ling have known each other for many years and have an irreversible friendship."
Yin Lihua said quietly: "As for Zijun, I...I'm sorry..."
Yan Guang said: "Both life and death are determined by destiny and cannot be controlled by human power."
Yin Lihua looked at Yan Guang curiously and asked, "Mr. Yan really doesn't blame His Majesty at all?"
Yan Guang smiled and said: "Zi Ling is not a sage, and he cannot abandon the seven emotions and six desires." After a pause, he looked at Yin Lihua deeply and said meaningfully: "But Zi Ling can also understand your Majesty's actions.
"
Seeing Yin Lihua's confused look, Yan Guang said: "You and I only need to be responsible for ourselves when doing things, and we only need to have a clear conscience. But Axiu can't do that."
Having said this, he stopped, turned his head, and looked towards Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu originally straightened his back and was fishing seriously, but as Yan Guang and Yin Lihua walked away, his waist gradually bent down and his head gradually lowered. He was not fishing, but sitting there and taking a nap.
"Axiu is the emperor. Since he is the emperor, he must be responsible for everyone in the world." Yan Guang sighed softly and said, "The responsibilities on his shoulders are much greater than ours, and he is much more tired than us.
"
Yan Guang's words touched Yin Lihua deeply. No one had ever said these words to her before, including Liu Xiu herself.
She turned back to look at Liu Xiu, who was curled up and taking a nap on the bank, and a sudden sadness surged in her heart.
Liu Xiu is not a god, he is just a mortal, but the responsibilities he bears and the pressure he endures are completely unimaginable by others.
Yan Guang took a deep breath and sighed: "The proud son of heaven seems to be aloof, self-centered, and has the greatest power in the world, but in fact, the emperor is not as free as ordinary people. At least, ordinary people still have choices in many cases and can do whatever they want.
The emperor has no choice but to do something, and there is often only one way in front of him."
Yin Lihua murmured: "I have never considered these before."
Yan Guang smiled calmly and said: "So, I will blame Your Majesty, but I will never resent Your Majesty."
What Liu Xiu wanted to kill Deng Feng, Deng Zhong and Liu Xiu was a peaceful and stable Nanyang. If Deng Feng and Deng Zhong had not died, Nanyang would not have recovered so quickly. I don’t know how many people would be plotting secretly and preparing to
The next time we make a comeback, we will make a comeback.
The two talked all the way back to the thatched house.
Long Yuan stepped forward quickly, took the bamboo basket in Yan Guang's hand, lowered his head and looked inside, a rare smile appeared on his cold face, and said: "What a big fish! Did your Majesty catch these?"
Yin Lihua rolled her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, you haven't caught a single fish now, and you almost fell asleep while sitting on the shore."
When Long Yuan heard this, his old face suddenly turned red. He picked up the bamboo basket and said, "Go down and clean up the fish."
After sending Yin Lihua to the place, Yan Guang returned to the lake shore with the empty basket.
Looking at Liu Xiu who was snoring lightly, Yan Guang quietly sat down next to him. He just sat cross-legged in silence, not fishing anymore, looking at the sparkling lake.
I don’t know how long it took, but Liu Xiu’s body tilted to the side and almost fell to the ground. He suddenly woke up, first picked up the fishing rod that had fallen aside, then looked at Yan Guang beside him and said: "Zi."
Ling, you are back! How long did I sleep just now?"
Yan Guang smiled at him and said, "It's been almost an hour."
Liu Xiu blinked in disbelief and said, "I actually slept for so long."
"Your Majesty is too tired." Yan Guang looked at him and said helplessly.
Yan Guang was really sorry that Liu Xiu had to travel all the way from Luoyang to Xinye, but his determination not to become an official in the court would not be shaken by this.
Liu Xiu picked the fishhook out of the lake and took a closer look. He found that the bait on the fishhook had disappeared. He looked to his left and right, but found nothing. He smiled bitterly and said: "I still can't win against Ziling."
ah!"
Yan Guang smiled, stood up, and at the same time stretched out his hand to Liu Xiu and said, "Your Majesty, it's time for us to go back for dinner. This meal will be cooked by Mr. Yin himself."
Liu Xiu's eyes lit up, she held Yan Guang's hand, stood up, and said with a smile: "I haven't tasted Lihua's craftsmanship for a long time. This time I can taste it, but it's because of Zi Ling's light."
Yan Guang said casually: "Your Majesty is a man and Yin Guiren is a woman. Your Majesty should also accommodate Yin Guiren more."
Liu Xiu said helplessly: "I have already accommodated Lihua enough." Apart from Yin Lihua, who can beat him until his nostrils bleed, is there anyone else in the world?
Yan Guang said no more, packed up his fishing gear, and returned to the thatched house with Liu Xiu.
At this time, Yin Lihua had almost cooked the food. Since Yan Guang didn't have much condiments at home, Yin Lihua just steamed the fish. Liu Xiu took the first bite and found that there was no earthy smell at all, only fish meat.
Delicate and delicious.
He said cheerfully to Yin Lihua: "My husband didn't know that Lihua has such good craftsmanship!" After speaking, he greeted Yan Guang again: "Ziling, you should also try the fish cooked by Lihua."
.”
Yin Lihua rolled her eyes at Liu Xiu and said, "Mr. Yan is the host and we are the guests. Why does Mr. Yan need His Majesty's humility?"
Liu Xiu laughed awkwardly, and Yan Guang picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish, put it in his mouth, chewed it twice, his eyes lit up, and he praised: "It's delicious!"
"It's no wonder Ziling caught too few fish, otherwise Zhiwen, Long Yuan and the others would also be lucky."
Yan Guang said: "Your Majesty didn't catch a single fish, so why are you complaining that the grassroots caught too few fish?"
Liu Xiu looked up and smiled and said: "If you want to blame it, it's because you are such a bully fish in the pond!"
Yan Guang laughed loudly.
Everyone had a great time eating this meal. Before they knew it, it was getting dark outside. Liu Xiu picked up the wine glass, raised it to Yan Guang, and then drank with Yan Guang.
He turned to look out the window and said, "It's getting late, Zi Ling, I have to go."
Yan Guang did not hold back, nodded and said: "Tomorrow, ordinary people will also go out."
Liu Xiu was startled and asked subconsciously: "Where is Ziling going?"
Yan Guang said: "Hanzhong."
Liu Xiu said oh first, and then he suppressed his smile and said seriously: "Ziling, you and I can go back to Luoyang!" After a pause, he said again: "Zhonghua and Ayou are both in Luoyang. The four of us, You are the only one left now."
Yan Guang bowed to Liu Xiu and said, "Your Majesty knows that the life that ordinary people want to live is not in Luoyang."
"Ziling..."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to say any more, the people's minds will not change."
Liu Xiu had a sad look on her face, lowered her head and said, "We say goodbye today. I don't know when we will meet again next time."
Yan Guang said: "The grassroots live in Xinye, which is not too far from Luoyang. If there is a chance, the grassroots will definitely go to Luoyang to visit His Majesty, Zhonghua and Zhongxian."
Liu Xiu stood up, and Yan Guang also stood up. He walked up to Yan Guang, held Yan Guang's hand, and said, "You are the only one living in this barren mountain. How can I feel relieved?" ?”
Yan Guang smiled, raised his hand and pointed around, saying: "Aren't the grass-roots people living a good life? Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about the grass-roots people. The grass-roots people are very content and enjoy their current life like idle clouds and wild cranes."
Seeing Yan Guang's resolute attitude, Liu Xiu couldn't force it anymore. He suddenly thought of something and waved to Long Yuan outside. Long Yuan understood, walked in with a small box and put it on the table.
Liu Xiu said: "Ziling, keep this money for your personal use."
When Yan Guang was about to refuse, Liu Xiu said first, "Ziling is unwilling to follow me back to Beijing or serve as an official in the court. I can't force him to do so, but Ziling must keep the money. He must keep it!" His tone was firm and could not be refused.
Seeing Liu Xiu like this, Yan Guang couldn't resist anymore. He nodded and said, "Your Majesty, the common people will accept it."
Liu Xiu said: "You can buy whatever you like. You don't have to worry about spending all your money. If you live alone, you will inevitably be lonely. You can hire more servants to take care of your daily life and relieve your boredom..."
Listening to Liu Xiu's endless chatter, Yan Guang's eyes heated up, and he held Liu Xiu's hand and said, "Axiu, don't worry about others all the time. You... also need to take care of yourself."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Yin Lihua, bowed his hands and saluted, and said: "Noble Yin, Axiu will leave it to you." Be kind to Axiu, it is not easy for him.
Yin Lihua saluted Yan Guang and said, "Lihua, thank you, Mr. Yan." She didn't talk much to Yan Guang, but Yan Guang's enlightenment benefited her a lot, and it also cheered up her gloomy mood in recent days. Quite a few.
Yan Guang sent Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua out. After leaving the courtyard gate, the three of them walked in front, followed by the others.
After walking for a while, Yan Guang stopped and said, "I have to say farewell to you after traveling a thousand miles away. Your Majesty, I have sent you here as a noble and ordinary person."
"Ziling..."
"I will set off early tomorrow morning. Your Majesty does not need to come to me again."
"I...I understand." Liu Xiu sighed and nodded.
"I'll say goodbye to you, ordinary people." Yan Guang bowed deeply.
Liu Xiu returned the gift with his hand.
Yan Guang didn't stop any longer, turned around and left. Looking at his retreating back, Liu Xiu couldn't help shouting: "Yan Ziling——"
After a while, I heard a voice in the distance: "Uncle Liu Wen——"
Liu Xiu sniffed, held Yin Lihua's hand, and got into the carriage with her.
