Nightfall Chapter 67: Hua Kai Bi An Tian (Part 1)


Chapter Sixty-seventh Flower Blooms Beyond the Sky (Part 1)

The biggest turmoil of the Tang Dynasty is happening in the Yeejeong Hall. I don’t know how many officials in various ministries are speculating about the fate of themselves and their superiors. The young man in the Yushufang is looking around excitedly, standing somewhere in the Yuhuan. Chao Xiaoshu seemed to have nothing to do with these things. He stood silently on the shore of this big lake called Lihai, smiling as he watched the diversified carp jump out of the water, jumped over the dragon gate, and happily reopened Falling into the lake, wagging his tail and begging for food, sometimes sighing.

Ten years ago, he was a young scholar who entered the Beijing Kao Academy but was led by the emperor into the Chang'an rivers and lakes; more than a decade later, he was a green shirt who was standing in the night of Chang'an with countless heads under the sword , Standing by the lake, thinking about the past years, thinking about the way forward in the future, naturally has a different feeling in my heart. I don’t think that Qingyun Road is any tempting, but I just want to go back to the original study day and night. Old days.

A ring of soft whistling broke the silence by the lake, and the beautiful girl princess slowly walked over with two close ladies. Li Yu's gaze fell on the whitish cyan gown washed by the middle-aged man by the lake. After a slight start, he smiled and squatted to salute, and said softly: "I have seen Uncle Chao."

The fourth princess of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yu, was loved by the sage, and the people loved and admired him. Even when he met the prince, he only faintly called the uncle. Ever used such a close address to a man?

"Caomin dare not."

Leaving sideways to the little tree, he repeatedly said that he was afraid of not daring, his face was full of trepidation, but his figure flashed slightly, and the corner of the blue shirt was moving in the lake breeze. There was a half-hearted feeling of not daring, just polite His respect reveals a sense of alienation and vigilance that refuses others thousands of miles away.

Seeing Chao Xiaoshu’s reaction, Li Yu’s hands on his waist stiffened slightly, and the two maids behind him changed color suddenly. However, before they could do anything, Li Yu responded with a smile: "When I was young, my father When the emperor asked the guards to hug me out of the palace to play, I saw my uncle several times in the gambling house, but after all, I was young at that time, and then I gradually forgot that the uncle Chao had hugged my niece. Why do you think so."

"Your Highness's remark really made the Caomin panic. How can the Caomin dare to regard himself as a princess elder."

Responded with a smile to the little tree, the lake reflected the sky and then fell on his handsome and plump face, where there was a little bit of deliberate humility to be a small color, just guarding the status of king and minister, not daring to step forward. step.

Li Yu showed his favor twice, and turned back to the little tree twice, neither soft nor hard. The atmosphere on the lakeside suddenly became a little tense or even depressed. Li Yu quietly looked at the middle-aged man’s face. Thinking of the anger expressed by the emperor from last night to today, showing his intention to protect this person, and confirming the importance of this person in the eyes of the emperor, he waved his hand to stop the whispers of the mothers and daughters. Advised, smiling and continued: "I brought back some barbarians from the grassland. I heard that someone asked them about some things a few days ago. That person's name is Chen, like your brother?"

Chao Xiaoshu was silent for a while, and said: "He is Chen Qi, my brother."

Hearing this answer, Li Yu laughed, turned his eyes to the sea-like lake, looked at the lotus leaf disturbed by underwater fish, and asked: "Is that boy easy to use?"

"Your Royal Highness, I didn't use him, I just asked him to help me." Chao Xiaoshu replied: "It's hand in hand, not use."

"If it is to join hands, then he will become your brother?" Li Yu asked, turning his head around, frowning slightly.

Chao Xiaoshu thought of the fried egg noodles in Lao Bi Zhai and Ning Que's answer, and laughed at himself: "Someone looks at this world as if it is colder than me."

He looked at Li Yu's eyebrows and said seriously: "His Royal Highness, he doesn't want to be known, so he also asks His Highness to keep this little secret for him."

Li Yu was taken aback and mocked: "Does that idiot think that this matter can be kept for a long time? Wearing a black mask and combing the hair style of Moon Country, he wants to hide his identity forever?"

Chao Xiaoshu replied: "He will be admitted to the academy soon, and he will be admitted to the second floor. By then, he will naturally no longer be afraid of being tricked."

Li Yu remembered Lu Qingchen's evaluation of Ning Que, frowned and asked: "Why do you all have such a high evaluation of him?"

Smile at the tree and said: "Because he is worth it."

Thinking of the light of the sword at the North Mountain crossing, the tiger leaping among the flames, and the story beside the fire. The expression on Li Yu's face softened unknowingly, but his voice still seemed cold and mocking: "At the beginning I gave him a chance, but he refused to seize it. I thought he was an alternative who looked at future wealth and wealth. I didn’t expect that he just felt that the way he played was not exciting enough, and he had to choose such a way to make his debut in Chang'an City. ."

"But anyway, I brought him into the city of Chang'an. Then he is my person..." Li Yu looked at Chao Xiaoshu with a smile, "Uncle Chao, you used my person like this Ruthless, shouldn't you say hello to me in advance?"

After all, the verbal confrontation test is still the psychological confrontation. The fourth princess Li Yu is naturally the best woman in this aspect among the younger generation, but in front of the old Chunfeng Pavilion who is accustomed to blood and blood, she can't think about it. I can see it at the slightest, I saw the little tree smile, and said: "If he is a princess, how can he be embarrassed for a small shop? And I believe the princess should also be able to see that, that The little guy will never be someone else, he is just his own person."

After several trials, I didn’t find the slightest opportunity, not even the gap to tell the truth. Li Yu was silent for a moment, waved to the maidservant behind him to leave, watching him solemnly said: "Uncle Chao ……"

Chao Xiaoshu avoids again and repeats: "The Caomin dare not."

Li Yu shook his head and said earnestly: "Everyone in the world knows that after today, the old dynasty of Chunfengting can no longer be the grassroots whose father the emperor hid among the people, and is no longer just the leader of the First Gang of Chang'an. . Whether it’s the head of the bodyguard or the minister, you will definitely have your place in the world."

"When you were in the old dynasty of Chunfengting, those ministers dared to solicit you in the name of me or the empress empress and persuade you. Now that you have jumped out of the sea, do you think you can stay out of the matter from now on? "

Li Yu looked at him quietly, with a sincere and unobtrusive tone: "The empress is a smart person, and I am not stupid, so we will not do anything that our father does not like us, but we must do something ."

"I hope you can support me."

"When you were a kid, you hugged me, and you hugged my brother. Have you seen my mother, don’t you have the heart to watch your brother fall next to the throne, and watch my mother in the secluded spring of the underworld, unwilling Sad?"

Datang doesn’t care about seizing the protagonist. Whoever succeeds is all between the emperor’s thoughts. The emperor, who seems weak but sober, will not allow his wife and children to make any harm to the country. , Fighting beyond the limits of his tolerance, but he wanted to see who performed better.

In this world, in those history, there are very few examples of transparency and openness like the Datang imperial family. However, what Li Yu said to Chao Xiaoshu at the lakeside today still seemed too open and honest, even a little naked. It is not in line with ordinary people's imagination of such court conspiracies.

Chao Xiaoshu was silent for a long time, watching her and saying in harmony: "His Royal Highness is really like your mother, Yinghui is incomparable, knowing that any temptation and temptation to me is meaningless, on the contrary, It’s more appropriate to use a quagmire tone, but this is ultimately the dictatorship of the Sacred Heart. I am just a small fish in the sea of ​​Datang, even if I am lucky enough to scale it, it will not do anything."

"Uncle Chao is too self-conceited. You know, in these years, I have never seen my father believe in a person like this... and he forcibly pressed the student who was amazing at the college in the gutter of the East City. It takes several years to press down. I think the father must feel extremely guilty for you in his heart."

Li Yu looked at him firmly and said: "The most important thing is that you are in the sea of ​​Datang, so even if you jump out of the sea, you will eventually fall into the sea again. One day you have to choose which way to go. Swimming..."

She didn’t finish her words, she smiled at the little tree, Yinglang forced her, raised her arm and waved her sleeves to the big lake, and said: “I’m a small fish, but I don’t like staying in the pond, even though It's a pond as big as the sea, and it's still a pond after all, so if I really need to choose which way to swim, or in the end I will simply choose to go ashore."

Li Yu frowned slightly and said: "If a fish goes ashore, it will die of thirst."

"But I can breathe enough air before I die." Smiled towards the tree.

"Uncle Chao insisted that Chaotang is the pool? Can you find a pool bigger than my Datang in the world?"

"Although the rivers and lakes are smaller, they are more relaxed and casual. In comparison, I really would rather be far away from the rivers and lakes than stand on the temple."

Li Yu frowned and looked at the middle-aged scholar in Luotuo Qingshan by the lake, and suddenly realized that he did not understand some people very well, and sighed: "There are many sinisters in the rivers and lakes."

Slightly smiled at Xiaoshu and said: "But the rivers and lakes are far enough, so free."

Li Yu shook his head and said, "What kind of freedom can I have?"

Chao Xiaoshu looked at her with compassion like a junior, and said: "Freedom not to choose."

Ning Que’s hands are itchy. This is a itch that has been cultivated for many years. It has penetrated into his bone marrow and bloodline. It cannot be driven away at all, only bitterness and patience.

In the quiet and unmanned Imperial Study Room, he walked back to the desk from the door, from the desk to the bookshelf, and from the bookshelf to the door. His right hand hidden in his sleeve kept rubbing his fingers, but he could not stop it. The itch from the deepest part.

Seeing the famous steles on the wall itchy, watching the Hengdian lying indiscriminately, smelling the unique scent of Chenzhou Songmo, and touching the tiny wrinkles of Xuanzhou bud paper makes it more itchy. When the emperor's father wrote the five characters "fishing at this time in the sea", he started to wink and wink even more, unable to restrain himself.

The only way to relieve the itch is to write.

However, it is a very stupid choice to continue your majesty’s letter in the Imperial Study Room. It may be severely blamed, or even more severe punishment, but it’s really itchy... While talking about choice and freedom by the lake, Ning Que is also experiencing this painful choice.

"Tear it off if you write it."

Looking for a good excuse, Ning Que screamed happily, and rushed to the case before the case, like a hero who eats meat and drinks, lays out new paper with ink, catching pen, and turning all the itch accumulated in his heart into pleasure. With a swipe, the five ink characters are vividly displayed.

"The flowers bloom in the sky."
