"Heaven has no relatives, always be with good people, do more good deeds, and you will be blessed. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The light music hexagram was solved to the end, and the people with yellow and hungry faces and numb expressions left, and it was almost dusk.
"Are you saying true or false?"
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you have been quite idle lately." Qingle collected his things and walked home, followed by a big tail that couldn't be shaken off.
"Qingle, just call my name outside, be careful of being heard."
"I'm not afraid of you, the Holy God ordered you to come here to observe the people's situation and help the people, but you leave me idle every day, but you can't look at the emperor from afar and do nonsense."
Qingle picked up rouge on the side of the road, and Hongxin didn't even look at it, "You still wipe this thing?" I knew I was from the palace...... Bring some out of the house, that's the best thing. ”
"I don't wipe it, for Gulier, her birthday is coming." Happily checked out, "What are you still doing with me?" Don't think about eating again, my family can't afford to serve you, a noble man. ”
Hongxin lowered his face, "I finally met you, and you treat your life-saving benefactor like this?" ”
Half a year ago, the emperor lingered and fell ill, and the crown prince took charge of the government on his behalf, and left in private, thinking that she would return to Sajiang, but he never thought to meet him here again.
He was very happy to see Qingle, probably a little carried away, these days of disaster relief are all done by his cronies, he hid for several days, and found that the woman in front of him was actually completely different from what he imagined, half a year ago he felt that she was a goddess who could not be blasphemed, these days to get along, he suddenly didn't understand why he let her go half a year ago?
I know I can't go on like this, but I can't stop.
Qingle walks in the crowd is a very conspicuous kind of person, a simple plain white clothes can not hide its elegance, and unlike ordinary women delicate and pretentious, walking in the world frankly, there is a sense of dust.
- As long as she doesn't open her mouth, she can still use her identity as a goddess to bluff people.
It is still a little difficult for a person like her to hide in the city, so she simply debuted as a monk, but she has quite a prestige in this place, and even the magistrate looks down on her.
Since the beginning of spring, there has hardly been a drop of rain in the north for two months, and in the summer it is a torrential rain in the south to burst the embankment, disasters have been repeated in various places, there is no harvest after autumn, the old rice at home is also eaten cleanly, there are refugees everywhere, it seems that it is going to winter, this year is colder than in previous years, and there are already old people and children who have frozen to death on the side of the road.
Since Hongxin took over, this government is a mess, even if he is a genius in governing the world, he also has a headache for a while, not to mention the order in danger, the emperor watched, there were courtiers under the restrictions, almost never slept a good sleep in half a year, people compared to the last meeting, haggard a lot.
Qingle said that, or brought Hongxin home, the more disasters there are, the more popular the fortune teller is, the people have always been able to forbear, even if there is only one mouthful of porridge to drink, knowing that God has left a way for them, the sky is endless, and they can still hold on to this belief and hold on, so she still has money for setting up a stall every day to mix rations.
As for other consumption, then quit it all, Qingle came back with rouge, Gulier said that it was a waste of money, but the whole person became bright, "You sit down for a while, I'll go add a dish, and when the priest comes back, we'll have dinner." ”
Hongxin sat on the top seat, watched Qingle busily wipe her bamboo sticks and copper coins, and asked cautiously: "Why don't you go back to Beijing with me?" ”
Saying the words that had been hovering in his heart for the past few days, Hongxin breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't understand, obviously his identity was more noble, but when facing Qingle, he was even more nervous than in front of his father.
Qingle didn't raise his head, "What are you doing back to Beijing?" ”
"It's not peaceful here now."
"Can Jingzhong sit back and relax?" Qingle finally raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were like torches, "The Holy Lord asked you to come over in person to appease the refugees, it can be seen how much attention is paid to this matter, this place can go directly to the capital by land, and the waterway can pass through the three coastal provinces, and it doesn't take four days to get to the border pass after crossing the three mountains, it is the last line of defense in the capital, the most important dangerous place, and now there is a large influx of refugees, if something happens, do you know what the consequences are?" The holy dragon body owes An Shangri's heart to hang here, and you are here, but you want to retreat to the capital and avoid it? ”
Hongxin's face was red and white, even the Taishi had never spoken so harshly, not to mention being evaluated by a woman who had a good impression, he didn't know that she hadn't settled here for half a year, and she traveled to different places almost every day. ”
"Please forgive Your Highness for being speechless, let me know how much relief food there is? How many were shipped? Where is it scheduled? How many are left of the people? It's freezing cold, how is the shelter built? Can Si Tianjian deduce when the first snow of the year will fall? Can the people be properly housed before the snow falls? How many of the officials accompanying His Highness are really doing practical things? How many do you want to fish in troubled waters and take the opportunity to make a windfall? ”
She spoke clearly, threw out one question after another, and finally asked: "In case there is really a civil uprising, has Your Highness considered how to deal with it?" ”
"Presumptuous!"
Qingle got up and knelt down, "If it's really a troubled time, who can protect whom." ”
Woke up with a word, Hongxin broke out in a cold sweat behind his back, and he helped Qingle up, "Today I will say goodbye first." ”
Qingle got up, "Your Highness still remembers my original prophecy. ”
The sun sinks and the moon sets, the sword points to the Northern Emperor, the dynasty is changing, and the blood sacrifice in the world is sacrificed.
Sixteen words, he remembered each word clearly, there were letters in the first two months after King Lin'an went to sea, and there has been no news since then, although his father firmly believes that he will come back, but he knows in his heart that Wen Yue is afraid that he will be sad.
If Fang Cai still had contempt before, thinking that this goddess was replaced by King Sajiang at will, now that he has completely changed, his father will think that because he has never seen Qingle, her gestures are different from ordinary women, and she is not just a substitute.
Her prophecy, I'm afraid, will really come true.
The sun sinks and the moon sets, the sun of course refers to today's saint, the moon is probably Wen Yue, Wen Yue's life also points to the north, and he said that he is going to be more auspicious and less auspicious......
But why is there a catastrophe in the world?
His father's body is not as good as day by day, he is the crown prince, and when the time comes, the throne will be justified, and the biggest threat has been lifted, what reason is there to make a big move?
Could it be caused by a natural disaster at this time?
The prophecy was only heard by him, it was unintentional at the beginning, but now it was intentional, he didn't intend to let others know, no one would welcome an emperor who would bring blood to the throne, fortunately he knew about it in advance, as long as he appeased the people well and survived this winter, everything will settle in the spring of next year.
His thoughts turned and turned, and he was glad to see that he didn't reply, so he simply continued: "I said last year that King Lin'an is going to be dangerous and abnormal, and he will die for a lifetime, do you remember? ”
She suddenly used an honorific language, Hongxin nodded, an impossible thought popped up in his heart, and muttered, "You mean it's possible that he is still alive?" ”
"How can mortals calculate the possibility of the way of heaven, there is no absolute, people often say that it is destined, but a person's fortune may also change in the later stage, otherwise if it is calculated that the future will not be good, the dead will inevitably become even worse, and if he changes to the good, the luck gradually changes, although the blessing has not come, the disaster has been far away."
Hongxin thought of her remarks in the market just now, it turned out that it was not as he thought, it was her casual nonsense, natural disasters repeatedly, if the people's hearts are unstable, man-made disasters are even more difficult to prevent.
Qingle continued: "Recently, I have heard word of mouth from merchants, hawkers, and homeless people, all pointing to coastal turmoil, and if the king of Lin'an is still alive, there may be news of him. ”
"But we've been listening for a long time, and we haven't heard anything."
"If the king of Lin'an is really killed in the hands of the Japanese invaders, the Japanese people are ruthless and vicious, and they will make a big fuss about it, but there has been no movement this year, maybe the king of Lin'an just has no way to contact us for the time being, I heard that he is strong in martial arts, brave and good at fighting, you and he are brothers, you should know him best, do you think he can seize that glimmer of life."
Unlike him, Wen Yue because he was not loved by his father since he was a child, he was lively and active, and at the age of fourteen, he went in and out of the battlefield with his uncle, and two years later he was already a brave general who dared to single-handedly kill the enemy. Otherwise, how could a dignified prince risk his life without hesitating his life.
Wen Yue is ruthless enough, ruthless to others, and even more ruthless to herself, will such a person die quietly at sea?
Hongxin has finally had some cities this year, listened a lot, said less, and the people below naturally said more and more in order to speculate on the intentions, and the more they talked, the more loopholes they said, at this time he unconsciously revealed this habit, and he didn't bother to answer some questions.
Although Qingle can feel his kindness, but in the final analysis, the two are not close friends, and she must say these words today for the people, even if she is blamed, she is also determined to bear it.
Once she thought that what the priest needed was just a ruthless and loveless goddess, who could prophesy but could not interfere with any prophecy, so that she should not stand on any stand, because once the mind is affected, the prophecy may be wrong, and more importantly, she herself will be deeply involved, and in the past six months, she has traveled around, and gradually understood the good intentions of the priest, she is not unable to love, on the contrary, she must be loved, without discrimination, regardless of whether the Liang or Sajiang, the nobles of the kings and grandsons or the common people, the way of heaven is selfless, and it is already difficult for her to follow the way of heaven. If you want to change your life against the sky, I am afraid that I will exhaust my hard work and have no way.
"I just want to say more today just to remind Your Highness that there are no absolutes, and if you want to make any last resort, you must be prepared in advance for any possibility, you don't have much time, don't delay any longer."
Hongxin glanced at her deeply, "You really don't want to go back to Beijing with me, I can ...... immediately"
"Your Highness is cautious." Qingle interrupted him, "The mountains are high and the rivers are far away, and there will be a period later." ”
After he left, Gulier asked: "You are too bold, as soon as the words just came out, I pinched a cold sweat, in case it angered him, the consequences were unimaginable, you reminded the prince to be cautious, but did you forget?" ”
"Caution is not silence." Qingle sat back down and sorted out his copper coins, "I have my own measure. ”
Gulier looked at her worriedly, gently and seriously wiped the copper coin, and looked at it for a long time without distractions, so that her mood gradually relaxed, she was really like a goddess, her words and deeds were convincing with divine power, I don't know when she could also meditate for an afternoon to comprehend the way of heaven, she could not sleep all night to copy the sacrificial words, and she could chat with the priest all day, and the appearance of the holy aunt in her memory seemed to be gradually replaced by light music.
Two years ago, she was still worried about the naughty and playful Qingle, afraid that she would not be a good goddess, and even Qingle herself would often doubt her identity, but in just two years, she couldn't understand what she was doing, let alone see through her thoughts, they grew up together since childhood, but Gulier can feel it every day now, although the two are still staying together, they are gradually drifting apart.
The goddess has a mission and responsibility, the goddess must not move, does that mean that she has already changed from a playmate to a passerby who can be named in the eyes of the goddess, thinking of this, she suddenly felt confused, Qingle is a goddess, but is she still Qingle?
Three months later
In the early spring, everything recovered, and the cold winter finally passed, and everyone's spirits were lifted, but they heard that the war on the coast had begun to recruit soldiers.
The Japanese invaders were eyeing each other two years ago, and the navy trained them for two years, but they were defeated at the first blow, allowing the Japanese to easily occupy two of the three coastal provinces, leaving only Xingdong with generals to hold on.
Li Yuanjie wanted to guard the northwest and was not familiar with water warfare, even the emperor was alarmed at this moment, and he went to the early court for two days in a row, but he still couldn't choose a decent general.
"If only Wen Yue were here."
Hongxin stood under the court, did not dare to say much, the coastal governor fled overnight before the war, and later found out the three provinces of the extraordinarily large corruption and bribery case, several of which are his cronies have befriended people, now the war is urgent, so I have to suppress these for the time being, otherwise I am afraid that the Chaogang will make a big move, but the suppression does not mean that it will not be investigated, this pass is afraid that it is very sad.
Even if he wants to pass the merits, he can't do it, he is raised in the deep palace, and he has dabbled in hunting martial arts but is not a strong point, and when he heard his father holding on to his sick body and talking about Wen Yue, he had mixed feelings in his heart.
Three days later, the first good news came from the front, and at the same time brought the startling news that among the leaders of the Japanese people, one person was found to be the king of Lin'an.
"It's impossible!" As soon as Hongxin's words came out, he immediately glanced at the emperor subconsciously, and then he retracted his thoughts, "Who saw it?" Take him up and talk to him. ”
"General Zhang couldn't get out of the way at the front line, so he asked the last general to bring a portrait."
The prince immediately said, "Don't bring it up yet." ”
Hongxin stood below and only glanced at the emperor's demeanor, and knew that the person on the portrait was not far from ten, it was his third brother King Lin'an, and what Qingle said was indeed fulfilled.
He calmed down, calmly asked about the situation at the time, and dealt with it appropriately, and finally said: "The truth of this matter still needs to be verified, you step back first, and remember not to publicize this matter." ”
After retreating, he said to the emperor: "Father, you must take care of the dragon's body, according to the third brother's temperament, even if he is captured by the Japanese people, he will definitely not serve them. ”
The emperor was noncommittal, and waved his hand for a long time, "I'm a little tired, I'll discuss it tomorrow." (To be continued.) )
