In winter, the nights are long and the days are short. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info five watches of the day, it is already the hour, the sky is still as dark as day.

The lights of the Li Mansion were turned on, and the maids and maids began to get busy.

Before anyone shouted, Li Xianyuan woke up. The bed lay quietly for a moment, then lifted the warm quilt and got up.

The stove is blazing, even if you just wake up, you don't feel cold when you leave the quilt.

Dressed in a white shirt and walked to the door, Li Xianyuan pushed open the two doors.

The bone-chilling coldness greeted him, causing Li Xianyuan's breath to stagnate, and his whole body was cold.

The oil lamp on the table behind him flickered and was about to go out.

Yesterday it was cloudy all day, and it snowed at night.

Looking up, the sky is dark, the ground is crystal clear, and fine snow particles are falling. The snow was still falling, and it didn't stop all night.

In the distant garden, families sweep the snow on the path. Rustling in your ears.

Exhaling white air, Li Xianyuan closed the door with a slightly stiff body, and reflexively picked up the cleanly folded dark robe on the side.

I got up so early for no other reason, and I want to go to the morning court today.

The world says that the sun rises and the sun sets. The same was true of the early dynasties. The dawn is early, and the morning is early. If it's summer, it's going to be a day.

There was still an hour before dawn. When I arrived at the palace, I was almost ready to go to court. The Li Mansion is not too far from the palace, and those officials who live in remote areas have to get up early on the fourth watch day to prepare for the early court. This is true in winter, let alone in summer.

Li Xianyuan put on a thick robe, tied up his long hair, and the sound of a maid calling came from outside the door.

"Sir, King Cheng's carriage has arrived, and he is waiting in the reception hall. ”

Squeak-

Li Xianyuan opened the door, and the bedroom that was warm was swept away by the cold wind again.

Poof――

With a slight sound, the oil lamp is clean and not blown out.

The family clears the snow in the garden a few feet away. The maid holds a lantern to illuminate the door.

Li Xianyuan stretched out his hand to catch a piece of snow, and followed the maid through the corridor garden, stepping on the snow and making a creaking sound.

Although the sky is dark, the maids and families in the house come and go, and it is warm.

When I came to the reception hall, I saw King Cheng outside the door, wearing a golden brocade jacket, with his back straight and facing back, and looking at a landscape map in front of the reception hall slightly. It's like admiring a picture scroll - nothing to admire, an ordinary mountain dwelling map, with some familiar names written on the inscription. At least Li Xianyuan can't see the flowers.

He doesn't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, King Cheng turned around. The eyes are clear, and the smile on the lips is gentle.

He teased and said, "I thought Brother Li would have sleepless days and nights because of the previous dynasty"

"I thought too. Li Xianyuan walked into the reception hall, and his body was slightly warmer. Recently, my body has become more and more tired, and I feel as if I can't sleep enough.

King Cheng stared at Li Xianyuan for a long time, and seeing that he was not nervous, he bowed his head slightly and said, "The carriage is waiting outside the mansion, Brother Li, please." ”

"Please. Li Xianyuan nodded and stepped out together.

In front of the Zhu Gate, the soldiers are lined up, with tall heads and horses, mighty and straight, and the dark helmet is inferior to the white feather, which is different from the Imperial City Imperial Forest Army, but it has its other might.

A gorgeous carriage with dragon patterns stopped in front of the main gate of the Li Mansion.

You are the king of sincerity, and you have your own guard.

The civil official's family waited by the door, standing with a soldier in his hands. The two knew each other, but the relationship was not deep, and they only talked occasionally.

So many people, so cold. The snow was fluttering, and there was not a single sound in the night. Only the horses occasionally shook their heads and snorted and snorted.

I don't know how long it has been, Steward Wen suddenly moved, facing the door.

Wow -

The soldier beside him moved slightly, and the armor on his body made a low impact.

I saw King Cheng and Li Xianyuan walking side by side from inside the door. Two maids accompanied each other with lanterns.

After crossing the threshold and saying hello, Steward Wen bowed down and asked, "Master, can you come back at noon?"

"Come back, come back, and return Brother Li after the morning court. Li Xianyuan and the two walked out of the threshold one after another, King Cheng took over the conversation with a smile, and the two got into the carriage inlaid with gold patterns one after another.

Wow -

The soldier descended the steps behind the two men and turned on his horse.

In the carriage, the stove was lit, and the red was warm. Dispel the cold. Li Xianyuan and the two sat opposite each other.

Not long after Fang sat down, the carriage shook slightly, and the sound of horses' hooves around him was already on the way.

In order to look out, Li Xianyuan knew that Steward Wen must be standing at the door at this time, looking this way.

However, I went to the early court, but the atmosphere seemed to be gone and there was no return.

Xu is a prince, and he needs to maintain his majesty in front of outsiders, and he will be suffocated for a long time. As soon as he was with Li Xianyuan, King Cheng opened up the conversation and talked endlessly.

After catching up, talk about the scenery. After the scenery, talk about human feelings.

After talking for half an hour, Li Xianyuan was tired, and the gushing Cheng Wang Fang talked about the things that need to be paid attention to in the court.

If you do not make a noise, do not look around.

Fang asked for two sentences, and King Cheng talked about idle things again......

In a trance, the voice of King Cheng was in his ears. Li Xianyuan was sleepy and didn't accompany him, so he began to talk to himself, how could he still look like a prince.

In a daze, the convoy came to Chaotianmen. The main gate did not open, and the convoy slowly entered through the side door, while the soldiers all remained outside.

There were also horse-drawn carriages coming from the other gates, and before dawn, there was a bit of enthusiasm.

In a daze, he walked a little with the prince, and the surroundings seemed to be full of people. Whispers dispersed.

"Just stand here. King Cheng said softly, and walked away.

In the haze of consciousness, I don't know how long it has been, I suddenly heard the whispers of hypnosis around me, as if ten thousand beasts were jubilant and walked into a fierce tiger in the woods.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The deafening shouts suddenly reached the ears.

Li Xianyuan was a spirit, and most of the drowsiness was dispelled. Looking around, I saw a middle-aged man sitting on the dragon chair, with a yellow robe, full of majesty, and not angry and arrogant.

The black body around him pressed a human head, and he was a kneeling Manchu civil and military.

Li Xianyuan crouched down with everyone.

"Zhongqing is flat. ”

The emperor seemed to be blind, and he didn't see Li Xianyuan, who was half a beat slow to react.

The hundred officials stood up. Li Xianyuan, who stood in the last row, was hidden in the crowd.

After all, his body is only a thirteen-year-old boy, and he is not very tall. There was a row of black pressure in front of him, and he couldn't see the emperor when he jumped up—and the emperor couldn't see him.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something important to report. The voice of Zhongqi rang out in the hall.

"Governor Yushi, there is something to play later, I have other important things to do at this time. ”

"Yes—"

There was a short silence, and a deep cold drink was heard.

"Li Xianyuan is here!"

Hmmm――

As if he had been prepared, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty looked at it together. Even the official who was in front of him got out of the way, allowing Li Xianyuan and the Ninety-Five Venerable to formally face each other.

"Where are the soldiers!" On the dragon chair, the emperor drank coldly.

Whoa-

Several full-body armor royal guards entered from outside the main hall and knelt down on one knee before the emperor.

"Wait here!"

The voice was low and the eyes were piercing. Looking at the officials, they are like cold blades across their necks.

The emperor drank coldly, and pointed at Li Xianyuan from afar on the dragon chair.

"Drag this Xiaoxiao surnamed Li to the noon gate, and you can be beheaded!" (To be continued.) )
