Chapter 13: Eight Years

Eight years ago, the fifth prince Rongqi had just ascended the throne, and something happened to the northwest border pass, and General Qin Shu of the northwest border pass suddenly fell ill. The news of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info reached the capital, and it was shocking. The war with the Hu people in the northwest Daluo Dynasty has been fought for almost two years, not to mention that the people in the border pass are not happy, that is, because of the battle in the Central Plains, all the money and grain were taken to the front line, and nine families in ten rooms starved to death. What had been a rich kingdom had become devastated. This is the situation that Rong Qi faced when he ascended to the throne,

In order to stabilize the war situation, Rong Qi left Rong Qing to clean up the internal affairs of the court, and he took Zhao Ziyun to the border pass. 8 years ago, Zhao Ziyun was already a pavilion girl, and her identity was the emperor's close maid. At that time, when the new emperor ascended the throne, where was it so easy for people who had had or wanted to have the throne for a long time to die. In the palace, conspiracy, assassination, and killing are still endless. Because of the border war, Rong Qishi had to go to the front line, he wanted to see the real scene of the war, and he had to find a way to prevent the war from continuing.

Although Rong Qi and Rong Qing are brothers, they have been in the study together since they were children, and they are both diligent and talented, and their homework is always the best among the princes, otherwise there would not be so many people who are afraid of them and beware of them. Later, the two of them worshiped under Master Qingyan to practice martial arts together, and their martial arts attainments in the rivers and lakes for several years can also be said to be the best among their peers. It's just that the personalities of these two brothers are also slightly different, Rong Qi has been strong since childhood, and Rong Qing is lenient. When he left the official, Rong Qi was the oldest, and although he couldn't understand all the darkness and treachery of Gong Dou and the final tragic death of his mother, he could also understand eight or nine, especially in the past few years of begging for life, in order to let his younger brothers and sisters survive, Rong Qi saw more darkness and suffered enough. It was this resolute and resolute character that allowed him to ascend to the throne in the brutal political struggle and basically stabilized the situation.

Rong Qing and Rong Qi are brothers, but Xiao Rongqi is three years old, when he escaped from the official, he was only seven years old, and he can remember only a limited number of things, he has a generous personality, and he has been with his brother since he was a child, and his brother is not only his role model, but also the only person who can protect him. Rong Qing is less resolute than Rong Qi, more meticulous, and he is the most able to understand other people's minds since he was a child.

When he was a child, because of the compulsion of his livelihood, Rong Qi worked as a small worker, wrote papers, and worked as an account office in people's homes, and often couldn't be with them, and the older Rong Qing took care of Yunyun. Zhao Ziyun was not yet four years old when she left the palace, she didn't have much memory of her mother, and in her impression, Rong Qing and Rong Qi were her relatives. On cold days, it was Brother Qing who held her in his arms and rubbed her frozen face; When she was bullied by others, it was Brother Qi who helped her wipe away her tears; When she was sick and burned, it was her brothers who kept holding her hand and pulling her back from the darkness. Now that I think about it, that scene has always been her warmest memory of this world.

Zhao Ziyun's thoughts flew for a while, what she didn't know was that there were also two people sitting in a simple front hall at this time, waiting to meet her again. Rong Qing was looking at this small living room at this time, simple and simple, Rong Qing didn't care about those arrangements, he walked to the door and visually measured the thickness of the lower wall, which he privately asked people to thicken, in order to make the room warmer in winter, he closed the doors and windows to make sure, and the people below did not cut corners because this was a county lord's mansion that was not remembered, so he was slightly relieved. Of course, he didn't cut corners because he kept looking for someone to keep an eye on. He walked into the bedroom again, this was the county lord's inner bedroom, and it was inconvenient for him to enter with such an identity, but he was calm in his heart, he only felt that he had to take another look, whether her bed was comfortable enough, and whether the quilt prepared was thick enough, he remembered that Yunyun had always been afraid of the cold, and when he thought of this person, the face of the young prince was full of tenderness. At this time, there were only him and the emperor in the room, and the emperor was sitting on a chair in the inner hall at this time, with a calm expression, and he didn't care about all his actions. At this time, Rong Qi, the current emperor unconsciously thought of the difference between him and Zhao Ziyun eight years ago.

Eight years ago, Rong Qi personally went to supervise the war and took Zhao Ziyun with him, on the one hand, he felt that the infighting in the palace was still serious at that time, Rong Qing was careful and delicate, and after nearly two years of experience, he held the power of the two departments of military punishment and could still deal with it. As for Zhao Ruoyun, a little palace maid, she is as powerful as an ant, and it is very easy to twist her to death a hundred times if she has the intention. No matter how powerful Rong Qing is, she is also outside the palace, I am afraid that she will not be able to protect her, Rong Qi decided to take her with her, compared to the sinister palace inside, the swords on the battlefield are easy to watch out for.

On the other hand, Rong Qi also has political considerations, Zhao Ruoyun has been very smart since she was a child, especially after she arrived at the Qingshan faction, she doesn't have to run around every day, Master Qingdang regards her as a woman, and her poetry, literature, chess and painting are all subject to her. Zhao Ruoyun was also very diligent, spending most of his time every day in the huge library of the Qingshan Sect. Especially after learning the pranayama method of the Qingshan School, I can concentrate more and more, never forget, and calculate quickly like a god. The martial arts of the Qingshan faction have always only been passed on to men, and although Master Qingyan likes Zhao Ruoyun very much, he only passes on his mental method, which can be adjusted to save his life in case of danger. Unexpectedly, Zhao Ruoyun's comprehension of martial arts is also surprisingly high, because he often reads, he can mobilize his breath between reading, hold his breath and concentrate, and even more at a glance, never forget, and his ability to remember and calculate is many times more than that of ordinary people. Rong Qi took her to the border pass, on the one hand, for her safety, and on the other hand, if necessary, if there is a chance, let Zhao Ruoyun carefully estimate how long this war Daluo Dynasty can support. Rong Qi didn't want to do this work openly, because he felt that the result would definitely be unsatisfactory, and he had no intention of hitting the already unfirm military spirit again. But he had to know it clearly. Therefore, he planned to let Ruoyun do it secretly. Zhao Ruoyun followed the Rong Qi brothers, although Rong Qi would never let her participate in the struggle and killing, but, the soldiers and horses are in front of the grain, planning and calculating, there must always be a trustworthy person to grasp the overall situation, in the later stage, the overall situation is initially determined, the new dynasty employs people, the background of various personnel, and a large number of document inspection and verification work, all of which are led by Zhao Ruoyun. It's just that later, her health is getting worse and worse, in addition to the old disease of asthma, she occasionally faints. Rong Qi and Rong Qing thought that Yunyun must have followed them since she was a child, and she didn't lay a good foundation for her body after suffering a lot, and she was even more distressed, so she gradually stopped the work in her hands and let her recuperate with peace of mind. Later, Rong Qi entered the palace and took him with him, although she was called a palace maid, but everyone knew that she was the new emperor's old person, and they all thought that they would accept a concubine in a few days, and no one embarrassed her, Rong Qi also made a lot of determination to take her to the border this time.
