(One hundred and forty-eight) royalty
Farewell to Zhang Nanguang and the others for the time being, the soldiers were divided into two roads, and Shen Zhan and Song Mier walked south. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It was already night, and the moon slowly rose from the distant hills, hanging among the trees, but it was very quiet.
I don't know if there are still pursuers, and if I can meet the guards brought by Shen Zhan after going out like this.
Song Mier sighed silently.
Shen Zhan turned his head and hugged Song Mi'er, with a smile on his face, "Mi'er, are you afraid?" β
Song Mier was stunned, and looked up at Shen Zhan, his sword eyebrows were raised, his eyes were slightly shining, and the tails of his eyes were slightly raised, and he escaped for a long time, his hair was slightly messy, not as neat as usual, but he had an ordinary and rare demeanor.
It seems that when the sky falls, he will not panic.
It seems that the chasing soldiers behind him, the rebellion of the people's hearts that he is about to face, and the long road ahead of the unknown good luck and murderer, are all insignificant things in his eyes.
At this moment, Song Mier seemed to see him become a real emperor.
Strong heart.
In the past two days, Song Mier saw Shen Zhan's openness and opening in the face of a group of ordinary people's students, pointing out the country, and also saw his anger when he discovered the rebellion, and even more saw the embarrassment when he was forced to flee.
From the noble emperor who was supported by others, to having to face danger alone.
There was a big gap here, but he didn't show any negative emotions.
There is no panic, no embarrassment, no compromise, and no embarrassment of losing face.
Calm, calm, and even at such a critical juncture, you can weigh the pros and cons.
A growing, young, emperor.
"I'm not afraid." Song Mier looked at Shen Zhan and replied slowly but firmly, word by word.
"Hahahaha......"
Shen Zhan turned to hold Song Mier's hand, raised it and kissed it gently, and Lang Ran smiled.
It seems that the difficulties in the world are not a big deal in his eyes.
Song Mier also smiled slightly, and his heart relaxed a lot.
It seems that as long as he is by Shen Zhan's side, he will not be afraid of any difficulties.
β¦β¦
The two traveled all the way, trying to cover their footprints along the way.
I don't know if those murderers will catch up.
Soon the moon was in the middle of the sky, and Song Mier was about to sigh that fortunately there was a bright clear light, otherwise how could he walk in this dense forest?
As soon as this thought arose, he saw that the moon was slowly obscured by dark clouds, and a gust of cold wind blew, and Song Mier couldn't help but shiver.
"I'm afraid it's going to rain." Shen Zhan looked up at the sky.
In late spring and early summer, it is the rainiest and most likely to rain at night. One moment the weather may be fine, the moon and stars are scarce, and the next moment it may be cloudy, and the rain will fall in an instant.
Just like this life event, it is unpredictable and unpredictable.
Although the dense forest blocked a little rain, there was still a lot of rain, which was directly sprinkled on Song Mier and Shen Zhan. Originally, he wanted to go out for a walk, but Song Mier was dressed in ordinary cotton clothes. It is said that it is ordinary, ordinary people can't afford to wear it, and it looks like a family with a rich family, which is to prevent it from being long-sighted, and when I see the little lady, I think about some dirty things, dress better, and people may weigh it, and save some trouble.
But now in this rainy night, the cotton cloth absorbed water, and after a while, it soaked Song Mier's chest and back.
I knew I was wearing that brocade set, at least it didn't get soaked so quickly.
Song Mier rubbed his nose and couldn't help but sneeze.
Shen Zhan stopped, "But it's cold?" β
He looked up and looked around, "There are a few broad leaves ahead, let's go there and rest." β
Song Mi'er bit his lip and forcibly held back the discomfort, "No need Brother Zhan, it's important to get out of this dense forest first." I don't know when they will find us. β
Since Song Mier has Lu Xun by his side, Shen Zhan naturally has a secret guard by his side. However, Song Mier only knew that there was Bo Yin, but he had never seen the others, and he didn't know if he was also hidden among the ordinary guards. But I'm afraid I didn't come with me today, otherwise I might not have been so easily hit.
Thinking of this, Song Mier couldn't help but regret that he had sent Yu Lan back, if Yu Lan was here, where would it be his turn to get those drugs to play?
Song Mi'er's expression was gloomy, and Shen Zhan only thought that she was extremely uncomfortable, and she was just holding on.
Shen Zhan pondered for a moment, bowed his head and said, "Let's go and take a rest, you are weak, walking in the rain like this, it is very easy to get sick, we are on the way to escape, if you get sick, I'm afraid you will get half the effort." β
Shen Zhan's words were not unreasonable, Song Mier thought about it, and no longer insisted. "Alright, let's go ahead and get some rest."
That's the benefit of the South. Although the southeast coast is not as good as the real southern region, the woods are dense and the vegetation is abundant. However, compared to the north, the mixed growth of broad-leaved forests and deciduous forests has brought a lot of benefits to Song Mier and Shen Zhan.
If you are in the north, with a vast plain as far as the eye can see, then you don't know where to flee. Now this dense forest has given Shen Zhan and Song Mier a buffer.
The broad-leaved forest was very low, just enough for one or two people to squat and hide in it, and if they weren't fully engrossed, they probably wouldn't have been able to find anyone under the leaves.
Nature is not capable of making a fire.
Shen Zhan hugged Song Mier, but he didn't have any thoughts, but he was worried about whether Song Mier's body would be able to hold it.
can't make a fire, and naturally can't dry Song Mier's clothes, Shen Zhan had to use the heat of his body to keep Song Mier warm.
"Thank you, thank you, Brother Zhan."
Once there were no outsiders, Song Mier spontaneously took Shen Zhanzhan's brother again. I didn't think that today, this kind of realm is called like this, but Shen Zhan has infinite pity for Song Mier. It's as if she's wholeheartedly dependent on herself.
In fact, Song Mier leaned on Shen Zhan's shoulder and bit his lip, "I don't know what happened to Sister Yuan." β
"Don't worry, Yuan Wanyou is not easy to have an accident in the mansion. No matter how bold these people are, they dare not act openly. Unlessγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
Shen Zhan didn't speak, but Song Mier understood what was going on.
Unless Shen Zhan dies here today, I'm afraid those people will have the courage to act against the people of the Southern Patrol.
If they don't solve Shen Zhan for a day, they won't be easily exposed for a day.
Speaking of which, what are these people for?
first detained the students who supported the reform of Chunqiu, and then hunted down Shen Zhan and others.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like a fog.
If it is those rich officials who oppose the reform of Chunqiu, or even the nobles of the clan. Prisoners of students, they can do it. But the emperor who hunted down the Great Calendar?
If you really want to rebel, I'm afraid you don't just send a few killers to chase and kill. The emperor died outside in no apparent terms, and whoever ascends the throne again will be suspicious of whom. Who would be that stupid?
Moreover, there is a queen mother in the palace, and Shen Zhan must have made some arrangements when he comes out to tour the south, who will easily force the palace? What's more, he has only been on the throne for a long time, so young, and he will not have any pre-written will, if it is really a rebellion, it will not be justified, unlessγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
Shen Zhan and Song Mier glanced at each other, to be honest, they had the "qualifications" to rebel, and those who had this kind of mind were none other than King Liang and King Runan.
King Liang is Shen Zhan's uncle, and before the first emperor ascended the throne, he also fought fiercely with the first emperor. However, the former emperor has always been the crown prince, and King Liang is helpless. I don't know how many stumbling blocks I made to the emperor behind my back. However, it failed in the end, and if it was said that there was no lingering, it was naturally impossible. If you see Shen Zhan on the throne and make some changes, it is reasonable. What's more, at the beginning of this year, when King Liang looked back at Beijing for the Spring Festival, didn't he still have a close relationship with Xu Nanjiang, the secretary of the ministry? If it weren't for Shen Zhan's accidental punishment of Xu Nanjiang's son Xu Chen, Xu Nanjiang, who cherished this old man, would not dare to act rashly, and he couldn't say what King Liang had done in Wangjing.
And the king of Runan is Shen Zhan's younger brother.
It's not quite certain that he said it was a younger brother.
After all, Shen Zhan has two younger brothers of the same father and mother. One is Shen Pei, the king of Jin, and the other is Shen Feng, the king of Yongchang. King Jin has an uninhibited temperament and likes to travel in the mountains and rivers. The fiefdom is in the Xizhou area, but it is only taught to the staff to take care of, and he has disappeared all day long, except for the annual energy saving trip back to Wangjing, he is swimming between the mountains and rivers, and he is almost twenty people, and he has no intention of getting married, but the queen mother is in a hurry. He indulges in landscapes, whether it is true or not, his relationship with Shen Zhan is real. After all, they are the same mother, and they often play together since they were young. It's just that he doesn't like to read very much, and often arrives late and leaves early, and Song Mier hasn't gotten along with him much. But if you want to say that Shen Pei has the intention of rebellion, it is almost impossible, just because he has been unable to sit still since he was a child, and he especially doesn't like the character of being bound, calling him the emperor, I'm afraid it is better to kill him directly.
The other younger brother is Shen Feng, the king of Yongchang. Now that he is only fifteen years old, it is probably too early to say that he instigated rebellion.
When the Queen Mother was pregnant with Shen Feng, it was the time when the concubine was the most powerful, and the Queen Mother, who was still the queen at the time, was exhausted, and had to take care of the first daughter and two sons, one son had an uninhibited temperament and didn't attend classes, and the other son simply went to the secret guard, the Queen Mother was naturally worried, and her body was not good when she was pregnant with Shen Feng, so that Shen Feng's body was very weak and she was sick all the year round, if it wasn't for Shen Zhan's accession to the throne, Shen Feng would have been inconvenient to live in the harem, I'm afraid that Shen Zhan and the Queen Mother will not let Shen Feng out of the palace and open the mansion.
The Queen Mother and Shen Zhan both felt a lot of guilt for Shen Feng, and they couldn't wait to give him all the good ones, but they were reluctant to let him work hard. But Shen Feng doesn't know if he has been sick for a long time, and he is a very indifferent character, if it weren't for the pale face caused by illness, I'm afraid he would be like a fairy.
If you want to say that any of these two people want to rebel, let alone Shen Zhan, no one in the court will believe it. After all, these two people don't want to be emperors, and they have a very close relationship with Shen Zhan, and even the concubine of the former emperor once gritted her teeth and praised, "It's really a brother." "After all, the first concubine tried every possible means to divide Shen Zhan, Shen Pei and Shen Feng behind.
In addition, Shen Zhan also has countless cousins and uncles, the more intimate is the British King Shen Shu, Shen Shu's family has always supported Shen Zhan's ascension to the throne, Shen Shu's father, as a representative of the clan's ability to write and martial arts, often expeditions to the east and west, and now Shen Shu will also inherit his father's business and open up territory for Shen Zhan.
And the king of Runan is not in these two categories.
Shen Cang, the king of Runan, was the only son of the first concubine.
said that this concubine was good, she was indeed favored by the emperor, but she was spoiled for most of her life, but she only gave birth to a son. The queen mother, the current queen mother, all year round, the first emperor only went to her during the New Year's Festival, but she gave birth to four children to the first emperor, that is, at this point, the first emperor will not disrespect the first queen.
The first concubine naturally put all her efforts on her own son. However, these old ministers in the court have long been dissatisfied with the emperor's exclusive favor of the concubine, and I don't know what the old ministers advised or how, no matter how the first concubine struggled, in the last few years of the emperor, he still set up Shen Zhan as the crown prince. After the death of the first emperor, Shen Zhan had to ascend the throne smoothly.
Shen Cang, the son of the first concubine, only sealed the king of Runan, but the fief was rich, and the first concubine also followed to the fief. But this is not what Shen Cang wants after all, if he says that he has no intention of rebellion, probably even Shen Cang himself will not believe it.
Therefore, today's matter, if it really involves rebellion, it may be King Liang and Shen Cang.
But would the two of them be so stupid to murder the emperor in such a situation outside? Isn't the first one to suspect them at that time?
But if it weren't for them, could it be that these nobles at the bottom would have resorted to killing tricks just because they violated their interests?
There is also a possibility that these killers were supposed to take care of those imprisoned students, but they didn't know the identities of Shen Zhan and the others, and they accidentally hit them, and they actually chased and killed them as ordinary people in order to kill them. But is this possible?
Song Mier and Shen Zhan thought about it, but there was no definite evidence, but the rain did not mean to stop at all. Seeing that Song Mier's face was getting whiter and paler.
Shen Zhan held Song Mier's hand and found that her originally smooth and clear little nails had turned purple cold, and her face immediately sank.
"No, I'll make you a fire."
How can you hold up so cold?
Shen Zhan was naturally very distressed by Song Mier.
"No, Your Majesty, what if we recruit those pursuers?"
Song Mier was naturally opposed.
"But you're cold like this! If you are sick, even if we evade the pursuers and escape, do you think you will be able to return to the palace in good health? β
Shen Zhan looked at Song Mi'er's eyes, "Mi'er is obedient, obedient, we only light a small cluster of fire." In such weather, even if you want to light a fire, you can't burn it. β
"Okay."
Song Mier couldn't resist the coldness after all, and nodded.
After a while, Shen Zhan lit a small fire.
It's just two or three strokes.
"Brother Zhan?"
Song Mier felt very surprised, she thought that Shen Zhan said that she wanted to make a fire, and she would have to explore for a while, but she didn't expect it to be so fast. It's as if Shen Zhan often does this. But he is a pampered prince and emperor, when will he encounter the situation of lighting a fire in the wild? He also knows how to read the direction of the leaf veins to distinguish the direction, and he has never panicked when he is chased.
Song Mier was so puzzled, so he naturally asked.
Shen Zhan laughed twice, and touched the top of Song Mi'er's head with great pity, "You probably don't know, I once went to the Secret Guard. β
Song Mier's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but hold his breath, for fear that he wouldn't continue to talk about Shen Zhan as soon as he broke it.
Shen Zhan smiled and scratched Song Mier, who looked like a kitten, "Don't look at me as a prince at that time, I will also follow the mission." Although the guards didn't dare to send me some life-threatening missions, they wouldn't relent if I asked for it. That is, I don't ask for it, the last generation of dark guards, many of them are, how to say, humanoid killing weapons, almost no other feelings, their lives, if they are designated, they will faithfully follow his master, if they stay in the secret guard, they will be dedicated to the secret guard all their lives. As long as it is for the sake of the Secret Guard, they will do it. β
Shen Zhan raised his head, watched the raindrops hit the broad leaves, and thought of the moon shadow again.
"Brother Zhan, what's wrong?"
Song Mier raised his head, and when he saw Shen Zhan's confused expression, he couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart, and before he could react, he asked out loud first.
"It's fine." Shen Zhan opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain to Song Mier who Moon Shadow was, and it involved Lane Yue, that is, now Mei Yurong, and her former master Liu Shuxing. It's a mess no matter how you put it.
Shen Zhan looked at the villain in front of him, and there was a faction in his eyes that depended on him, and he couldn't speak.
"I thought of something else for a moment." Shen Zhan explained with a smile. "At that time, when we were in the wild, we often had to do it ourselves, whether it was hunting, lighting a fire, and I even roasted game by myself!"
"Really?" Speaking of eating, Song Mier's eyes lit up, and he even forgot his situation, "Is that delicious?" β
"Little gluttonous cat," Shen Zhan chuckled, "when will it be made for you to eat." β
"That's decided!"
Song Mier finally regained some vitality.
The two talked for a while.
This is the first time that Shen Zhan has shown Song Mier the world outside of him as a prince, the hardships he has suffered, the injuries he has suffered, and he has paid a lot and gained a lot.
Song Mier knew that this was Shen Zhan's intention to open his heart to himself, and who else in this harem would hear Shen Zhan say these things.
Song Mier's heart was very sweet, and she felt that her Zhan brother was becoming more and more concerned about herself, and she told herself about these things, and Song Mier also secretly made up her mind to take Shen Zhan to heart more.
Unconsciously, the hearts of the two were closer again.
