The essence of the star, fell in Jingshan, turned into jade, the color of the side view, the color of the view, the color of the white, Bian and the dedication of the king of Chu, and then into the Zhao Xianqin. The first emperor was unified, and it was the seal of the order, and Li Si Xiao Seal his text, which has been passed down from generation to generation.

I looked at the record of the national seal in the "Record of Differences", and I was stunned and a little distracted, and then my consciousness was in a trance for a moment......

After all, the heirloom jade seal has been lost for hundreds of years, no one knows what it looks like, and today's people only glimpse it from some words and phrases of their predecessors, but they can't be completely true, let alone such ethereal and bizarre book excerpts?

I couldn't help but sigh and put away the books in front of the case, just as I was preparing for the handover after leaving office.

I believe that it will not be long before the imperial court will issue an official document appointing Yecheng Mu to take over, and I also want to go to Luoyang on the way back to Beijing, This is not only for official business, but also a few personal matters need to be concluded in Luoyang.

Gao Chen is the son of the lord of the city gate of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and has never been to Luoyang, so how can there be any private matters that need to be settled?

Gao Chen really didn't, but Ye Chen did......

Luoyang and Ye Chen are a place with deep roots!

From the mountain of documents, I took out a specially marked document and unfolded it, and the information of the four great families of Luoyang, Liu, Gong, Xue, and Sun was in front of me.

The backgrounds of these four major families are very intriguing, and each family is illustrious and famous. Their power is intertwined, dependent on each other, powerful, is really a landlord and strong, not only sitting on countless fertile land and beautiful houses, widely accumulating servant serfs and private soldiers, secretly actually controlling everything in Luoyang, they are also the leaders of the northern martial arts, there is no lack of brave and capable talents, the rivers and lakes are mighty, holding bull's ears, it can be described as powerful, daunting!

is not in the court but can be in power, in the rivers and lakes and grace, whether it is the court or the rivers and lakes can be manipulated well, this ability is really not easy to match.

Now it seems that these four great families have long become hidden dangers in the imperial court, and if you want to suppress Haoqiang, you have to start with these four great families. The internal affairs of the imperial court are unstable, and there are strong enemies outside, so it is still necessary to think carefully about how to deal with these four great families.

I have read this information no less than ten times, and the content of it has long been familiar, but every time I see this palace family crest, the strange feeling in my heart will become stronger and stronger, and the family emblem of this palace family will be a proudly blooming flower!

It is said that as long as it is a member of the palace family, whether it is a man or a woman, the clothes and decorations will be embroidered with a flower picture of the other side, no matter the color, but the style is unique.

And the style of this flower on the other side, I actually feel so familiar, and in a trance I also remembered that this is clearly all the ornaments in my mother's dress, why when the Ye family encountered a catastrophe, my mother would let me flee to Luoyang, and now I think about it, this palace family seems to be related to my life experience......

I remember that I was still young at that time, and since I was sensible, I had many housewarming and other places, and I had never seen my grandfather until I was nine years old, and I only occasionally mentioned it when my mother missed her hometown, but as the eldest daughter, my sister had to meet my grandparents, and I was particularly envious of my sister because of this, but then the family suddenly changed drastically, and I was also exiled, and my memories were scattered, and it was difficult to recall all of them, and it was even more difficult to know about the joints.

Now that I am related to the Gong family, I am afraid that I will have to ask Sister Ming to know the specific truth.

As soon as I thought of this, I didn't feel that I fell into deep thought, but I felt puzzled, and suddenly I didn't know where I came from, like the flying leaves that had fallen from the branches, and walked away with the wind, wandering and helpless......

Fortunately, I still have Wan'er, and I also found my sister, they are the most important people in my life, they are my dearest, they are my beloved, and they are the people I have to protect no matter what!

Suddenly, I thought of my mother again, and I suddenly missed my heart, my son wanted to raise but my relatives were not there, what a shame and sorrow it was, and how could I forgive those enemies who had destroyed the door!

......

Mother, Chen'er is doing well, can you be happy for Chen'er?

......

Raising his hand and groaning, his eyes turned red, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly restrained his excited emotions.

Outside the hall, Ah Zheng hurriedly trotted in and reported to me.

It turned out that Ziyu sent someone to send a message to lead me to Zhaoyang Palace.

Zhaoyang Hall is the former Qi monarch and ministers to discuss state affairs of the court, Qi is destroyed, Zhaoyang Hall is closed, ordinary people are not allowed to enter.

I had a slight difference, but I didn't ask more, but I said that there was another deep meaning in it, and I made a little arrangement for the rest of the things in my hand, so that Ah Zheng paid more attention, and then went with the waiter.

......

When I arrived at the Zhaoyang Hall and saw the white figure standing alone in the snow next to the fence on the platform outside the Zhaoyang Hall, I couldn't take my eyes off it anymore with just one glance.

The man was dressed in white armor, still majestic, she stood quietly, looking into the distance by the railing, and she didn't know what she was looking at, she was so fascinated......

The purple jade girl held the cold cloak in her hand, but she could only stand far away, with a worried look.

The only one who can make Ziyu so worried is her lord.

Seeing this, even if I didn't say anything, I could detect something strange in it.

When the purple jade girl saw me, she hurriedly walked over to owe her body for a blessing, I waved my hand slightly to show that it was okay, and asked softly:

"How long has she been standing there?"

Ziyu lowered her head and lowered her eyes, seeing that her mood was also quite unstable, and replied:

"It's almost an hour......"

In his words, he was quite helpless and sad, and then bowed down and saluted me again, as if he had asked for something.

I stopped her, gave her a reassuring look, took the cloak from her hand, and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, leave it to me!"

When Ziyu heard this, her eyes couldn't hide her gratitude.

There are many things, needless to say, everyone has a bad mood, even if she is a princess of a country and brave as the commander of the three armies, she will not be an exception.

The majestic palace in front of him has long been covered in silver, and it should have been a solemn and majestic court, but at the moment there is no one around, empty and empty, as if it has fallen into unprecedented tranquility, in fact, sometimes, it will be very scary!

Suddenly, I thought of the lonely figure she looked at from the fence in the dream, that was a contemplative look back brought to me by Feng Pei, it seemed to be a fantasy and a reality, in the dream she was dressed in white fluttering above the city, in the dream she looked at my eyes, falling two lines of tears, sentence after sentence, scolding me, scolding all the people who promised to guard her side but eventually left were liars, that look, how sad and sad......

She also has things that even I can't easily confide in, it is a wound that has been silent in her heart for many years, and it is also a pain that no one can bear on her behalf.

Everywhere I could see, there was always that gentle smile on her face, but where I couldn't see, the gloomy sadness was also heart-wrenching to the bone.

I slowly stepped on the snow along the way, step by step, up the stairs, not long ago when I stepped into the Zhaoyang Palace, or when I persuaded the former Qi monarchs to surrender, but at this moment it seemed to have a leisurely stroll.

Because at that time, it was still a political stage where scenes of treacherous dramas were staged, and I was an envoy from another country who came to persuade me to surrender, and my responsibility was heavy and my life was at stake; now, this is no longer the most solemn court, and I can no longer hear the praise and praise of the officials, this is just a palace that is being abandoned, and I, although I am still dressed in official clothes, I am just me.

The jade staircase leading to the Zhaoyang Hall was longer than I expected, and with my cloak in my left hand and the corner of my robe in my right hand, I finally climbed to the platform, and I was out of breath.

Not far ahead, the mighty general in white armor stood in place, looking at me panting like a cow and looking slightly embarrassed, and the corners of his mouth flashed with a beautiful smile.

I smirked embarrassedly at her inquiring gaze, then immediately straightened up to look more energetic, and walked over to her.

When I came to her side, I expected that I should be very graceful and considerate to put the cloak on her from behind her.

The mighty general was also very cooperative, and let me busily put on the cloak for her, and when the clasp of the cloak was fastened with the armor on her body, I could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, and sweat overflowed from my forehead.

The cloak behind the general's armor is really different from the ordinary people's tie method, very different!

What kind of elegant, gentle and considerate cloak was put on her, and then the two looked at each other peacefully, the reality is completely different from what I imagined, okay?

At this time, I didn't care about any image, I raised my sleeves and hurriedly wiped the sweat on my forehead, muttering to myself in my heart, I will let Ziyu teach me how to wear armor first, otherwise I may not even know how to wear armor in the future!

Although I was punished in the past, I also served as a halberd for a few days, but at that time I was wearing simple leather armor, unlike this general's armor, this pair of heavy armor was worn on the body, and ordinary soldiers would be tossed to take off a layer of skin.

Seeing my embarrassed appearance, Wan'er's originally serious expression on her face was also a lot more relaxed, so she made a look that seemed to be smiling instead of smiling, and turned to show her demeanor like a general, nodded politely and thanked her, and said:

"There is a shepherd in Lao Ye City. ”

I waved my hand hurriedly, wiping my sweat and smiling bitterly and said bluntly:

"It's not bothering, it's just a little embarrassing, look at me who is sweating all over my head, even in this Zhaoyang Palace, I have never been so embarrassed in the face of the former Qi officials, it can be seen that Xiao Shuai is mighty!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his thumb to express his heartfelt compliment, and stared at her with wide eyes.

Wan'er shook her head helplessly, and then the two looked at each other for a long time, so that Wan'er mistakenly thought that I was asking her for a handkerchief when I was busy wiping my sweat, but she said very unpolitely, saying:

"I don't have a handkerchief for you......"

"I didn't bring it either, I changed my clothes yesterday......"

I responded naturally, completely unaware of what was wrong with this, and when I came to consciousness, I realized that this was very inappropriate, we are now a man of literature and a martial arts, and the relationship between colleagues and colleagues is not to be in accordance with the etiquette of officialdom, and then to greet and politely say a few words?

I saw that Wan'er's face changed, and I tried to make myself look more majestic than the governor of a state, but when I met her eyes, it was completely powerless, and when there were outsiders, maybe I could still restrain myself, but now it's just the two of us?

straightened his voice and deliberately changed the topic:

"Oh, that, I disturbed Xiao Shuai's interest in appreciating the snow?"

Wan'er unceremoniously expressed her annoying feeling when she looked at me at the moment, and said helplessly:

"I wanted to stay here for a while, but now it seems that I can't do it!"

I smiled bitterly, scratched my cheeks, and took advantage of my cheekiness to speak:

"No, it's rare for Xiao Shuai to have this Yaxing, I can accompany Xiao Shuai to enjoy the snow together. ”

Wan'er glanced at me suspiciously, and said lightly:

"Oh, Yecheng Mu has always had a lot of work, and he has such leisure at this moment?"

I can't even complain about what I mean.

Slightly stunned, the expression on his face was unconsciously gentle, and he smiled peacefully, and said:

"I can enjoy the snow side by side with you like this, but after I came to Yecheng, I thought about it in my heart and asked for it!"

When Wan'er heard this, she was speechless, slowly retracted her gaze, and couldn't help but look up into the distance.

The atmosphere became much calmer, and I followed her gaze to look forward, only then did I know that in front of this Zhaoyang Palace, I could have an unobstructed view of the imperial city, and the grandeur of the scene in front of me was not jaw-dropping, and my heart was relaxed, just because the prosperity and magnificence of the imperial palace of Qi was much more majestic and gorgeous than the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty......

At this time, I woke up a little, it seems that it is difficult for a person with a heart and courage like Wan'er to be as sad and sad as a literati, and what she thinks is far more far-reaching and meaningful than these, and it is much heavier.

I couldn't help but look back at her looking into the distance, in my heart, thousands of beautiful scenery, but she looked back and smiled.

......

In the southwest corner of the Zhaoyang Palace, there is a sparse but loud and high sound of cranes, which quickly attracts our attention.

Following the prestige, I saw several beautiful red-crowned cranes, with their heads held high, their thin legs raised, slowly and elegantly strolling back and forth in a corner of the palace.

Their beautiful appearance, elegant posture, and agile demeanor can attract everyone's attention in a moment, because the crane is such a spiritual creature in people's minds, and it is also deeply loved and pursued by literati and doctors.

Dansha is the top of the sun, and white jade is the clothes of Yuming.

The former Qi Lord also loved cranes, so in the southwest corner of this Zhaoyang Palace, the red-crowned cranes were stocked here, so that he could always see these fairy birds that landed in the world from the nine heavens.

And now that the former Qi has been extinguished, the monarchs and ministers of the Qi State have long been gone, but they have been left behind, just like in the past, the prosperity and decline of the Buddha here have nothing to do with them, but they have witnessed everything here......

Wan'er's eyes were still attracted by a very beautiful and unique red-crowned crane in the crane flock, not only this red-crowned crane has snow-like clean feathers, a wonderful posture, and smart wings, but more special is that there is a small gold chain on its ankle that restricts its freedom......

Even if it has a pair of beautiful, wide and beautiful wings, it can't break free from the cage that traps it.

Looking at the beautiful red-crowned crane, Wan'er's eyes were gloomy for a moment, and she seemed to be quite touched in her heart, and couldn't help blurting out, saying:

"If you have the posture of the sky, how can you be a close friend for others?"

I was slightly stunned, Wan'er's words were borrowed from the allusion of the good crane to express my heart.

The Eastern Jin Dynasty monk Zhi Daolin loves cranes, someone gave him a pair of crane chicks, the crane grows up and the wings grow into want to fly away, the branch Daolin is reluctant, so he cut off the hard feathers of the crane, the crane spreads its wings and can't fly, but looks back at the wings and hangs its head, and regards it as if it is frustrated. Lin said: "Since you have the posture of the sky, how can you be the eyes and ears of others?" So he raised the cranes and grew their wings, and let them fly.

It's a skyscraper, and can you bend to others?

Is Wan'er feeling sorry for these cranes, or does it have a deep meaning?

I couldn't help but groan for a moment, and then took out the bamboo flute that had been hidden for a long time from my arms, and couldn't help but fiddle with it in front of Wan'er, and said with a smile:

"I have heard that this crane is quite spiritual, can hear the song and dance, extraordinary sound, so the former Qi Lord is very fond of it, today I am lucky, you might as well give it a try. ”

After speaking, in Wan'er's slightly different gaze, the flute sound was lightly opened, but for a moment, a melodious and moving flute tune was left in response to the sound, sometimes happy, sometimes tactful, sometimes quiet, sometimes lingering, this song is not lacking in cheerfulness, but there is a trace of sadness entanglement in the heart, lingering.

Wan'er has always known that the flute sound of this enemy is very clear and transparent, like the ethereal spirit of the valley, cleansing people's hearts, and the "Ancient Acacia Song" played outside the temple every night is very sad and moving.

Wan'er suddenly didn't dare to look at the enemy around her anymore, as if she was afraid that this person would know that she was making a joke, but she couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart, and quietly caught a glimpse of the innocent family indulging in the flute music with the corner of her eye......

I listened to the flute so gracefully that I kept my eyes on the cranes, looking nervously for the scene I had envisioned.

And the next fact is indeed as I expected, when I heard this pleasant flute sound, the cranes that were originally strolling leisurely had different reactions, and the beautiful and moving red-crowned crane, but restrained by the small gold chain, suddenly let out a clear chirp!

"Hiccup—hiccup"

This beautiful red-crowned crane was calling and fluttering its wings with some excitement, jumping back and forth, just wanting to dance.

At this moment, another louder crane chirp came, only to hear a few "hiccups - hiccups", so that a more vigorous red-crowned crane stood out from the cranes, but a moment and the beautiful red-crowned crane echoed the sound of the crane, only to see it jump happily to the beautiful red-crowned crane side, the two red-crowned cranes happily crossed their necks and danced, and soon the two cranes became the focus of attention.

They are really natural dancers, only to see them dance together, as if they have a soul, the two sides take care of each other, quote each other, sometimes jump left and right, sometimes strut, sometimes spread their wings to fly, sometimes whisper to the air, black and white wide wings are their beautiful and charming dance clothes, the crane shadow on the snow sweeps, and the snowflakes are thrown around, achieving the perfect combination of movement and stillness!

The crane dance is really beautiful......

I slowly stopped the rhythm, put away the bamboo flute, and looked at the moving scene of the two cranes dancing in front of me, and couldn't help but let out a hearty smile.

Wan'er was also fascinated by the scene in front of her, and seeing the two cranes neck to neck, Wan'er suddenly understood, it turned out that these two cranes were actually a couple!

Wan'er realized the true meaning of my flute, pursed her lips slightly, and said with some unwillingness:

"You've seen it a long time ago, haven't you?"

I couldn't help but smile and responded:

"It is said that geese are loyal birds, but in fact, cranes are the same!"

The crane that was locked in a small gold chain was a female crane, but in fact, what they really wanted to trap was the female crane's companion - the majestic and beautiful male crane!

People often lament the loyalty of most birds to their mates, most of them will be with them for life as long as they choose their mates, because their feelings are extremely pure, and compared to humans, the feelings they have are more advanced and more complex, and it is extremely difficult to make people be as loyal to their mates as birds are to their mates......

After Wan'er realized this, her mood became heavier and heavier.

But this is not what I want to express, seeing that the two cranes can be so blind to each other even if they are in trouble, I turned back to look at her affectionately, and said with a smile:

"It is a pleasure to be able to soar in the nine heavens, but the heart is connected, and the body is shackled, so why is it all suffering?"

When Wan'er heard this, she felt something, and what she wanted to say came to her lips, but she still didn't say it after all......

Now that I think about it, these cranes are very similar to me and Wan'er!

I couldn't help but smile, a little silly between my eyebrows, and continued with a smile:

"Wan'er, do you know? When I was a child reading "Zhuangzi", I knew the allusion of the tail sheng hugging the pillar, and I was thinking at that time, just for an agreement, the flood came, why did he stupidly not know how to dodge, and actually hugged the pillar to death?"

Legend has it that Oyo and his beloved woman agreed to meet at the bridge, but Oyu waited for the woman for a long time, and that day it happened to be a majestic rain pouring down, and a flash flood broke out.

Therefore, later generations Yu Wei was born as a person who kept his promise. But you say, isn't he stupid? How can there be such a stupid fool in this world? Until I met you, I still thought the same way! But after meeting you, I realized that he is not stupid, but just too stupid!"

Wan'er and I looked at each other so quietly, what I wanted to say, what I wanted to tell her, were all in these words, and her more and more gentle eyes were telling me that she understood what I said!

Like that pair of cranes, like the tail life, even if true love is hard to find in this world, there will eventually be people who will do similar stupid things for the affection in their hearts!

In this life, you are the binding of my heart and body, and where you are, it is my home......

This one is one martial arts, one black and one white, two people with graceful posture and unparalleled elegance, just standing side by side, in front of this Zhaoyang Palace, looking at each other gently and affectionately, in the distance, the two cranes made a pleasant crane song because of the joyful dance, the voice, it was really cheerful and tight......

Wan'er couldn't help but smile at me, as if she had forgotten all her worries and worries at this moment.

"I've never heard you play this tune?"

I smiled softly and continued:

"This is a hometown tune, the name is unknown, but I still remember its origin, and it is also a story!"

When Wan'er saw my eccentric expression, she had a general understanding, and said:

"It won't be another love story, will it?!"

I couldn't help but look at Wan'er with admiration, nodded and praised:

"Wan'er is really a bosom friend!"

How do you know Wan'er casually teased and said:

"Is it the poor boy who often says in the book that he falls in love with the daughter of a rich family?"

Hearing this, I laughed out loud, gave a thumbs up, and said with a smile:

This poor boy played the flute for this girl every night for three years, so that the flute music was handed down. ”

Wan'er chuckled and asked slowly:

"And in the end?"

I shrugged my shoulders and smiled and said:

"I don't know ......"

In fact, there is no need to guess, if this rich girl is a noble child, such a man and woman with such a big difference in status and hierarchy will not have a good ending, perhaps because of the cruelty of reality, there will be folk sayings that tell the story of some talented and beautiful women, which is the most reverie.

Wan'er gave an eight-word comment very directly, saying:

"Playing the flute at night disturbs people's dreams. ”

I was slightly stunned, and then asked with ulterior motives:

"Is my flute really so disturbing?"

Wan'er was stunned for a moment, thinking of the few nights outside the temple where the enemy played the flute for herself, her face turned red, and she muttered:

"It's not that disturbing......"

"Oh. ”

I replied casually, and immediately began to look at her stupidly again, and the smile on my lips became brighter and brighter.

"If you like it, then I'll play the flute for you for three years, how about it?"

"Don't!"

I know that this enemy is cheap and sells well!

Wan'er was so ashamed that she reached out and pinched my triumphant face, wanting to teach me a lesson, but she didn't dare to push too hard.

When they noticed, both of them lost the demeanor of civil and military generals, and at this time, we seemed to have forgotten the constraints of each other's identities and were freewheeling.

However, this is probably not allowed by religion and status......

couldn't help but reach out and attach her hand, reluctant to give up the temperature in her palm, but outside I couldn't help but have scruples and be so fearless, just because now I am Gao Chen, and she is Xiao Xu!

Wan'er knew my concerns, not only did she not let go of me, but directly touched my face and called me seriously.

"Morning. ”

I was slightly stunned.

"Huh?"

Wan'er looked at me gently, and after a moment of silence, she said slowly:

"Don't be a tail student. ”

......

I frowned slightly, asked softly, and said:

"Don't you want me to be a man of faith?"

Wan'er let out a sigh that seemed to be nothing......

"I want you to ...... better than keep your promise"

......

At this moment, the sky suddenly began to fall with fine snow, and small snowflakes fell on the body, disappearing into invisibility in a moment.

I tilted my head slightly, and the snowflakes fell between my eyebrows and eyes, and at the tip of my nose, they quickly turned into small droplets, some of which were itchy and some of which were cold, but I liked this feeling very much, and the corners of my mouth were slightly raised.

Holding Wan'er's hand, at this moment, I just want to leave all the annoying mundane affairs, and look at this majestic palace side by side with her, wrapped in silver, and feel the crane dance in the snow, which is fascinating......

God, you should envy me!
