Chapter 68 Chapter 68
Wu Junyi just looked at him like that, his eyes were deep, reflecting Shen Yu's figure, his eyelashes were like two small brushes, casting a crescent-shaped shallow shadow.
Intoxicated by such gazes, Shen Yu didn't realize the meaning of that sentence for a moment.
Then Wu Junyi smiled, and the spring blossomed all of a sudden.
Shen Yu finally remembered, yes, when they were in Xiangyang, the day before Wu Junyi left, they asked him to go around together.At that time, he was still worried about his family's livelihood, thinking that there would be countless times in the future, so he refused, and wondered why he was so regretful.Unexpectedly, from then to now, it has been ten years in a blink of an eye.
"So, this time, can you accompany me to make up for this regret and visit the capital together?" Wu Junyi asked.
Shen Yu finally woke up, and felt relieved at last.He said, "Okay."
Just like the last time he went to Huangzhuang, Wu Junyi changed into a goose-yellow robe, a white fox cloak, and a golden crown. He did look a little more immature to match his age.Standing together, the two really looked like a pair of brothers.
Shen Yu was wearing an official uniform, and Wu Junyi ordered Shen Yu to bring a brand new robe for him to change into.Although it was not against the law, Shen Yu looked at it and still declined, "Just cover it with a cloak, and you won't see anything."
The royal family's needlework cannot be passed on to the outside world. After he wears the clothes, he must throw them away.Why such a waste.
"Your Majesty, be careful of the cold." It has already entered winter in November, and although it hasn't snowed yet, the winter wind is howling, but Wu Junyi insists on riding out. Li Qi is extremely worried, and can only hope that Shen Yu will dissuade him.
But Shen Yu just held the reins tightly, turned over and jumped onto the snow-white mount, and when she saw Wu Junyi's black mount, she exclaimed: "What a horse!"
Wu Junyi's eyes brightened, "I also said that I would teach you how to ride a horse, but you are too modest. This was given to me and my uncle by the emperor in the past. It is named Wuli. It is a foal born by a good horse that paid tribute in the past. At that time, none of the mounts in the palace could catch up with it."
"When Xianbei's good horses are sent back to Beijing, we can train the cavalry well." Wu Junyi lowered his eyes and patted Wuli's head, and Wuli licked his hand affectionately.
When Shen Yu heard Wu Junyi talk about hunting, he thought he would follow along and talk about the interesting stories during the hunting, but he didn't expect that he was still concerned about the horse market and military training at this time.
His heart was moved, and the guilt of abducting the emperor dissipated somewhat.
Wu Junyi finally jumped on the horse, and the two of them, one with a black cloak and a white horse, and the other with a black horse and a white cloak, set off each other.When Wu Junyi galloped his horse and rushed out, when he caught a glimpse of the black cloak rising from the side and rear from the corner of his eyes, he felt that a certain empty place in his heart was filled.
He already had an answer to the question that haunted his mind.
Shen Yu is not only his savior, but also his friend, his teacher, maybe, there are more.
Emperors should not have family, friendship, or love.When Wu Junyi was growing up, his trusted father had taught him countless times not to trust anyone, and not to pin his hopes on anyone.Even, he was once pushed away by his father.But after all, he did not grow into the indifferent and emotionless emperor that his father expected.
If possible, he wanted Shen Yu to be everything.
Wu Junyi and Shen Yu bypassed Miyagi, went out through the side door, and came to the main street in Beijing.Li Qi, and other guards, pretended to be followers Ku Haha rode behind.Shen Yu asked, "Xi Zhi, where are we going?"
Wu Junyi was shocked by those two words, and then he said: "Just walk around and have a look, I have never wandered around the capital like this before."
In fact, Shen Yu has never had such an experience.Time is always a luxury for them.
In the capital city in winter, there are far fewer pedestrians coming and going. Most of them are carriages with windows and doors tightly blocked. Occasionally, a few women walking by with baskets on their shoulders also cover their heads.On the road, only the two of them rode past in a showy way, very conspicuous.
"Xi Zhi, why didn't you see other people?" Shen Yu felt a little uneasy.
Wu Junyi pulled the reins and slowed down, driving alongside him, lowered his voice and said: "Didn't I just inspect the Jingwei, those who are usually domineering and make trouble outside, many are hereditary generals, or the children of the family, Now I'm naturally restrained, and I don't dare to come out to make trouble."
"As for those scholars, it's not the season of heavy snow and cold plum blossoms. What are they doing when they come out to enjoy the scenery?"
Shen Yu felt at ease when he heard that what he said was reasonable.They rode horses and strolled through the streets together, looking at the shops on both sides and the pedestrians passing by.
"The last time I came out, I bought snacks with Lin Lang. He ate the snacks he brought back from the palace, and kept pestering me for them." Shen Yu relaxed a little, and when she saw this scene, she casually told anecdotes about her younger brother. come out.
The hot aroma hits the face.Wu Junyi smiled and said, "It's just right, let's go in and have a look?"
Shen Yu had exactly this intention.
They jumped off their horses, handed the reins to Li Qi, and walked in by themselves.On the long counter are celadon plates of many kinds of desserts, most of which are shaped like peonies and ingots as it is close to the twelfth lunar month to win the prize.
Wu Junyi was used to eating dim sum made by the skilled chefs in the Imperial Dining Room, but looking at these crudely made dim sum was still very interesting, he even pulled Shen Yu to ask him which one was delicious.
"Just persimmon cake, sugar ball cake, sweet-scented osmanthus candy." Li Qi didn't dare to let Wu Junyi eat things outside the palace, and stared at him beside him. Shen Yu also knew it well, so he just said a few names casually.
The store owner had noticed that the two customers, who were incompatible among children and married women, were paying special attention. Hearing what Shen Yu said, he immediately echoed: "This gentleman seems to be a regular customer. The trendy ones are the best at the small shop, and the guest officials only need to taste them, if they don’t taste good, they don’t need money!”
Li Qi watched with trepidation as Wu Junyi really wanted some, but he didn't dare to stop him, so he obediently paid the bill, and when he got out of the store, Li Qi couldn't wait to say: "Your Majesty, my lord, these outside things don't do it. It’s clean, please don’t enter it.”
"Why don't you clean up? Didn't Bojin say that he also bought dim sum here?" Wu Junyi glanced at him coldly, and instead of getting on the horse immediately, he took a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus candy and handed the rest to him. To Shen Yu, "Bo Jin, try it?"
Shen Yu was just buying snacks with his younger brother. He was actually not used to eating sweets. He took a bite, and it was crispy, sticky, and sweet. "Is it delicious?"
Wu Junyi smiled and frowned, "I think it's not bad."
"Then, I think it's not as good as Longjingsu." Shen Yu whispered.His exhaled breath turned into white mist, and Wu Junyi watched the mist drift away in a daze.
Li Qi didn't heave a sigh of relief until he saw the two of them getting on the horse with normal expressions, and followed with a bitter face.
It's not good to be a servant.
The two walked around while eating, and gradually reached the outskirts of Beijing.
On the way, they encountered beggars more than once.The first time Wu Junyi met, he wanted Li Qi to give alms. Li Qi was also happy to spend a small amount of money to accumulate blessings for His Majesty, but Shen Yu stopped him.
"Xizhi, nowadays there are really poor children who can't support them, and those who have nowhere to go are sent to martial arts by their families. Most of these children are controlled by others and sent out to beg for money. Giving them money is to help the evildoers, so it is better to inform the patrol Guards, tell them to take the child away."
Wu Junyi nodded, and shook his head for his negligence, called a guard to inform, and they continued to move forward.
However, as the two of them gradually moved away from the inner city, and the number of women and elderly people who were barely clothed and trembling in the cold wind gradually increased, Wu Junyi still fell into silence.This is the capital under his rule, and this is the epitome of his rule of Daqi.
"Xi Zhi, you know, everything has to be taken slowly. I will be by your side." Shen Yu quickly comforted him as if she had read his heart.
Wu Junyi nodded quickly.By the way, he should know what Da Qi is like. It is not his style to cover his eyes and pretend that everything is fine.
With Shen Yu by his side, what is he afraid of?
Snow seeds floated in the sky, and the front was a vast expanse of whiteness, gradually blurring his vision, but Wu Junyi took the rein and walked forward unhurriedly.As if he had his own direction in his heart.The horseshoe gradually walked up the mountain road.
After going around and up the mountain, Shen Yu was worried that he would get lost if he walked down like this, and when he proposed to return, a house appeared in front of him.
Wu Junyi grabbed the reins and slowed down to walk towards the house.
"Did your Majesty come here on purpose? Are you looking for someone?" Shen Yu asked sharply.Since no one was around, they didn't have to hide their names anymore.It's just that Wu Junyi still has some regrets in his heart, he still prefers the other party to call him by his own name.
"Come to visit Zhang Jue." Wu Junyi finally explained the purpose of today. "Actually, I didn't expect to find it here."
Zhang Jue.Shen Yu is no stranger to this name, he had heard it as early as his childhood.Zhang Jue is Deng Xian's deputy, but he is notoriously tyrannical, and he and Deng Xian don't fight each other very much. Under such circumstances, it is very rare for the two of them to work together to win victories again and again.
After Deng Xian was expelled from the imperial court, Zhang Jue guessed his fate, and voluntarily resigned from office to go into seclusion.Later, there were rumors that he was hiding in the mountains, but he didn't know where.Unexpectedly, it was in the suburbs of Beijing.
Wu Junyi really wasn't just wandering around.While Shen Yu breathed a sigh of relief, she felt a little indescribably lost in her heart.
But he also understood that Wu Junyi wanted to use Deng Xian as an introduction to invite more civil servants and generals who were out in the opposition to return to the court.Especially at this stage, generals like Zhang Jue who can train troops and command troops are extremely scarce.
But reason belongs to reason, and the discomfort in my heart cannot be easily ignored.
"However, when I was in the city just now, I really just wanted to look around." Wu Junyi said suddenly again.
This sentence seemed to be specially explained to him.Shen Yu felt that there seemed to be nothing to explain, but he still felt that the loss had completely disappeared.
Li Qi jumped off his horse, took the rein and knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" A boy's voice came from inside the door.
"We went hunting in the mountains. It's snowing heavily. Could you take a seat in your mansion to stop and rest for a while?" Wu Junyi replied.
After a while, the door opened.
