[Yinyu] Spring water surrounds Biancheng.

Chapter 17

In the early morning, three or two palace maids filed in, holding some clothes in their hands, and quietly retreated after a while. The whole process was orderly, fast and quiet, and before going out, the last palace maid gently closed the door .

When Li Yu woke up, he felt pain all over his body. He struggled to get up, and happened to meet Zhao Kuangyin's smiling eyes.

"Drinking is a mistake, does A Yu really believe it now?"

After Li Yu heard what he said, he couldn't get angry. What about the gentleman who said he was dignified and not overstepping the thunder?What about waiting for him to be willing?But just drank a little wine and forgot all about it?

Yesterday, the emperor hosted a banquet for his ministers, and there was a lot of delicious food and wine during the banquet. Li Yu hadn't drunk alcohol for several months. In addition, he had nothing to do at this kind of banquet, so he just drank it on his own. He kept drinking one glass at a time, he was not bad at drinking, he didn't feel anything when he drank too much, and after the banquet was over, he didn't know how much he drank, after all, he thought he was still sane.

Zhao Kuangyin watched with gritted teeth while drinking the wine toasted by the courtiers on the high platform, and said to himself, just drink it, the lesson from the last time is not enough, I see what new tricks you can come up with this time when you are drunk Come on.

……

Then Li Yu did not disappoint him.

Li Yu was so angry that he slowed down for a long time before he gritted his teeth and said, "The official family is really an upright gentleman."

Zhao Kuangyin pretended not to understand the strong sarcasm in his words, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Well... that's natural, I waited for you to say yes to it last night before going in, I'm afraid you don't really want to, I've double-checked it several times."

"You!" Li Yu was so angry that he couldn't speak, and after a while he choked out a sentence: "Shameless!"

Zhao Kuangyin laughed sullenly, and said after laughing: "Okay, although you provoked the anger, but I couldn't hold it back, I will take you out for a stroll today, and I have the right to make amends, okay?"

Li Yu snorted coldly and reluctantly agreed.

Zhao Kuangyin turned over and got out of bed, first found his own clothes and put them on neatly, and then brought Li Yu's clothes.Said: "Come down, I will dress you."

Li Yu was too lazy to move, and Zhao Kuangyin half hugged and half dragged him out of bed, and there was another burst of wailing.

"Is it that uncomfortable?" Zhao Kuangyin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Obviously I didn't use much force."

Li Yu glanced at him sadly, shook his head, and said nothing.

The clothes are new clothes just made by Shangyiku, and the fabrics are the best fabrics newly shipped from the south. Zhao Kuangyin specially asked someone to check, and they are all Li Yu's used to wearing them in Jinling.

One by one, Lingluo put on the gorgeous clothes for him, and finally put on a dark blue outer shirt. Li Yu straightened his sleeves, and he couldn't hide his noble aura.

Zhao Kuangyin glanced at it with satisfaction, then took the jade pendant from the bedside table, half knelt down, and tied it around his waist gently and delicately.

"It's a good piece of jade, but it's a pity that it was broken into two halves." Zhao Kuangyin felt sorry for a moment, and continued, "I heard people say that if a piece of jade is broken, it is a disaster for the owner. , is it also broken because of this?"

Li Yu was stunned, recalling the day when Jinling City was broken, he was afraid that it was God's will in the dark, so he had to smile bitterly: "Maybe."

Zhao Kuangyin pondered for a while, "So, this piece of jade is considered valuable."

"It's fine to be broken into two halves." Zhao Kuangyin fiddled with the half jade pendant around his waist, and said, "You and I each have a piece, isn't it also the best of both worlds?"

Li Yu nodded, "The officials make sense."

"I didn't pay attention just now, why did you start calling the official again?" Zhao Kuangyin teased, "I forgot what I taught you last night?"

Li Yu choked, thinking of all the things last night, he really wanted to pretend that he had forgotten.

"How could Yuen Long make things difficult for me?" He said half complaining half angrily.

Zhao Kuangyin laughed loudly, and said after laughing, "Okay, I won't make things difficult for you. Let's go, I'll take you out for a walk."

What is there to do in Beijing?Li Yu thought about it, Bianliang City is indeed prosperous, even worse than Jinling, but he has seen all the traffic and flowers in the first half of his life, and he has also seen the gold powder of the Six Dynasties destroyed in devastation, no one compares He is more aware of the layers of decadence and absurdity, gloom and crisis hidden under the so-called prosperity, and no one knows better than him how fragile and vulnerable the peaceful and prosperous scene in front of him is.After coming to the capital for so long, even though he knew in his heart that Bianliang and Jinling were different, he still couldn't convince himself to see the beautiful scenery.

That kind of experience, once there, cannot be erased.

Zhao Kuangyin took him to a cruise ship on the Bianhe River. The Bianhe River is an important road for water transportation. It has always been guarded by the army, and ordinary people rarely pass through it. It has been changed to a tourist attraction.

The cruise ship was quiet, the boatman propped the pole silently in front, and there were only two of them sitting by the window in the cabin, each raising a teacup to drink.

The windows in the cabin were opened, and the curtains were pulled aside. Looking out, the scenery of the Bian River was unobstructed. The water vapor on the broad river surface seemed to be covered with a layer of smoke.As far as the eye can see, the fallen logs on the opposite bank are piled up all over the place, leaving only bare branches straight up to the sky.

In this situation and situation, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help his poetic enthusiasm, and chanted: "I still remember the time when we first met on a painting boat..."

Li Yu was drinking tea, and when he heard his unreasonable sentences at first, he choked immediately. He coughed several times, his face flushed, and when he finally recovered, he shook his head and said with a smile: "Not airy."

"Isn't it enough to have you?" Zhao Kuangyin said with a smile.

Li Yu thought for a while and found it reasonable, so he nodded and said, "Very good."

The cruise ship rowed forward aimlessly, passed through the clumps of reeds, and crossed the semi-circular arch bridge. The scenery outside the window was just right, and Li Yu couldn't help but stare at it. Zhao Kuangyin looked at the profile of his sweetheart, and said in his heart that he Even if his heart was made of iron, it would melt into a puddle of hot and humid water at this moment.

"Ah Yu..." Zhao Kuangyin called out in a low voice.

Li Yu turned to look at him, "What's wrong?"

"When spring starts next year, I may have to leave the capital for a while." Zhao Kuangyin whispered.

Li Yu froze, and asked after a while, "What's the matter?"

"Northern Expedition." Zhao Kuangyin said, "Youyan is originally the territory of the Central Plains, but it has been occupied by Khitan for many years. I have to take it back."

Li Yu was taken aback, "Could it be that Yuen Long wants to go to the imperial conquest?"

"Hmm..." Zhao Kuangyin said vaguely, "Nine out of ten."

Seeing Li Yu's expression seemed hesitant, he said without thinking, "Ah Yu, would you like to go with me?"

"The officials are joking." Li Yu said after being surprised, "The officials have been planning this matter for many years, and it is no small matter. Why do you take such a burden like me?"

Zhao Kuangyin also came back to his senses at this time, and realized that this was really unlikely, so he sighed and nodded: "Alright, I can rest assured that you stay in the capital."

He paused, then pleaded: "Ayu, wait for me to come back."

Li Yu nodded and said, "Okay."

Zhao Kuangyin took his hand and said, "When I come back, I will teach Defang well. This child is intelligent and intelligent, and he is a talent to make. In two years, when Defang grows up, I will make him the crown prince." , teach him the way of being a king, teach him the art of controlling people, and then let Zhong Yu assist him, what do you think?"

Li Yu nodded, "Zhong Yu is different from me. He has great ambitions since he was a child, and now he can be regarded as a master of history and politics. If it weren't for... I'm afraid he can achieve a great career. If the officials can reuse him, he can be regarded as his third." Blessings from birth."

"Don't worry." Zhao Kuangyin said, "I will treat none of you father and son badly."

Li Yu smiled, raised his glass and said: "Then I would like to thank the officials."

"Punishment." Zhao Kuangyin said with a smile, "I just told you what your name is, why did you forget it in a blink of an eye?"

Li Yu was dumb, and smiled, "Yes, my sin." He waved his hand and said, "Come here, Yuen Long, and I will apologize to you."

Zhao Kuangyin leaned forward without knowing why, and said, "What?"

Li Yu stood up, bent down and approached Zhao Kuangyin's ear, every word, like the sound of nature.

"I like you."

In the imperial palace, outside the Long Live Hall, on the corridor, Zhao Guangyi and Wang Jien passed by.

"Hurry up." Wang Jien urged in a low voice.

Zhao Guangyi looked at the extra key in his hand out of thin air, smiled mockingly, turned around and walked into the hall as if nothing had happened.

There was no one in the hall, and even the little maid who was sweeping the floor was sent elsewhere by Wang Jien. Zhao Guangyi walked swaggeringly until he reached the innermost dark room, and tapped on the wall for a while. A narrow tunnel that can only pass through one person.

Zhao Guangyi stepped in and walked to the end of the secret passage. There was a secret room inside. There was a cabinet in the corner of the secret room. It must have been dusty for many years, and the cabinet was full of dust.

He took a deep breath, opened the cabinet, and took out a small box inside.The whole body of the box is pure gold, and a complicated iron lock is locked on the opening and closing.Zhao Guangyi took out the key, and when he opened the lock, his hands trembled so much that he could hardly hold the key firmly.

It was a secret that had been buried in the dust for many years and had not seen the light of day, and it was a heart disease that he had been trembling and ignoring for more than ten years.

With a click, the lock opened, revealing the dark yellow brocade inside.

Zhao Guangyi couldn't wait to take out the brocade, ignoring his trembling hands, and read it word by word.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps coming from outside the secret passage, hurried and fast, as if they were about to rush to him in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Guangyi closed the brocade in a panic, and shouted loudly:

"Who!"
