November 28. Dongfang Zhan and Tang Naiyao played against Jianzhou. When he learned that Fei Lian and Lian Cheng'an were attacking Chengdu from the north and east respectively, Tang Naiyao abandoned Jianzhou and returned to Chengdu.
Two days later. Jiang Mei arrived in Jianzhou, and she was extremely weak, and she wrote to Xiao Moheng in Beijing and Mu Xiaohe in Ningzhou.
On the 7th day of the first month of December, the Pingxi army attacked Chengdu in three directions.
In the afternoon of the next day, Jiang Mei, who was resting on the small collapse, received a secret report that Tang Naiyao knew that the general trend had gone, so he actually abandoned the two armies of Feilian and Liancheng'an, and ambushed the troops on both sides of Dongfang Zhan's army, wanting to kill Dongfang Zhan and then quickly.
In order to save Dongfang Zhan, Jiang Mei ignored the obstruction of everyone around her, and personally took the remaining 5,000 soldiers to the southern suburbs of Chengdu to rescue Dongfang Zhan.
In the evening of that day, when Jiang Mei arrived, Tang Naiyao had fought fiercely with Dongfang Zhan, Jiang Mei quickly let the soldiers attack the Shu army in two ways, and finally she saw that Dongfang Zhan was besieged by the Shu army, and the situation was critical, she resolutely opened her bow, her pupils shrank, and pointed directly at Tang Naiyao......
With a "bang", Jiang Mei used her only strength to shoot the most important arrow in her life, which killed Tang Naiyao on the spot, and this arrow also saved Dongfang Zhan's life.
However, when she watched the arrow shoot through Tang Naiyao, she couldn't hold her weak body anymore with a smile of relief, and fell down.........
On the tenth day of December in the first year of Dahuan Yonghe, the Huan army broke through Chengdu, and the Shu Emperor Tang Xuanlin killed himself with the palace concubine, and Tang Shu, who had been founded for a hundred years, returned to Dahuan.
After the news reached the capital, the whole country rejoiced, and hundreds of officials congratulated Xiao Moheng on letting the four seas return to one and Kyushu to unify, and congratulated him on swallowing mountains and rivers and sweeping the past and the present, which can be a meritorious achievement for all ages. Xiao Moheng cried with joy, all the ministers shed tears to congratulate, and for a while, the people in Jiankang City sang praises for Xiao Moheng, sang and danced, and celebrated along the street. Even Ningzhou Mufu is also rejoicing, since the death of Mu Hou Ye, Mu Xiao and the raid for the Mu Marquis, Xiao Moheng in recognition of his Northern Expedition meritorious service, Mu Xiaohe as the Duke of Jingnan, his son as the son.
However, while Xiao Moheng was overjoyed, he couldn't wait for Dongfang Zhan and Jiang Mei's triumph.
On December 28 of the first year of Yonghe, Dongfang Zhan's request for merit was compromised, and Feilian was the assassin of Yizhou, and even Cheng'an, Tao Yiran and the Lu brothers were all knighted and added.
On top of the joy, Concubine Shi gave birth to a prince on the eighth day of the first month, and Concubine Meng gave birth to a princess on the 20th of January.
At the beginning of February of the second year of Yonghe, after two months of military and political rectification, Dongfang Zhan Liufeilian and Liancheng'an guarded Yizhou, allowing the Lu brothers to return to Hanzhong, while he took Tao Yiran and personally led an army of 30,000 to return to the dynasty.
On the first day of the third month of the second year of Yonghe, Xiao Moheng personally led hundreds of officials to meet the army in the suburbs. Dongfang Zhan, who learned the news, let the army be stationed thirty miles away, while he took Tao Yiran and other generals to the south gate.
At the beginning of the afternoon, Xiao Moheng, who was sitting in the canopy feather car, felt a little nervous in his heart, his heartbeat seemed to be accelerating, he hadn't seen her for a whole year, although there had been correspondence, but the more inextricably linked he was, the more he became lovesick, he stretched his neck slightly, and looked into the distance.
The ministers who were waiting here with him were also nervous, but what they were nervous about was that Dongfang Zhan brought back 30,000 troops, Wang Xuzhi secretly glanced at Xiao Moheng on the car, and thought in his heart that this master was too careless, even if he greeted him in person, he was not even the slightest bit prepared, if Dongfang Zhan had bad intentions and led the army to attack, how could this be good, he thought about it while wiping the fine sweat on his forehead.
Xie Hui is much calmer than him, years of assistance, has let Xie Hui know that this master is absolutely unusual, he has a broad mind, people are willing to go to the soup for him, he has absolute self-confidence, confident that he has the ability to overcome any obstacles, and he has extraordinary means, these means can firmly control others in the palm of his hand.
Although Dongfang Zhan was Xiao Moheng's confidant, Xie Hui understood. A good emperor at all times has eight points of mind to trust, and two points of means to guard.
"Report ......." A former guard hurriedly came over and said on one knee: "Your Majesty, the governor of Pingxi will camp the army thirty miles away, and personally bring General Tao Yiran and thirty guards to ride lightly!" ”
"Good!" Xiao Moheng praised loudly, and the officials also breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, with a happy smile on their faces.
After a while, Xiao Moheng finally heard the noise of horses riding in the distance.
"Your Majesty is coming"
"Your Majesty, they're coming..."Qin Xin couldn't help but say loudly,
What anticipation his master had in his heart. He knew it very well. For many days and nights, Xiao Moheng was alone under the lamp, looking at a purse with rough stitches in a daze.
"It's finally here." Everyone shouted with joy, and Xiao Moheng's nose suddenly became sour. Reddish eye sockets. She's finally back...
And yet....the next moment. When he took a closer look, he found that the leader was Dongfang Zhan, who was wearing a white shirt, and he was followed by generals and guards in military uniforms. When he craned his neck and looked hard at the back of the team. I couldn't find any of them...
This hope poured into his heart like cold water, making his mood suddenly fall to the bottom, didn't she even want to see him? Since the attack on Chengdu, she has not heard from her, has she fled? The more Xiao Moheng thought about it, the temperature in his eyes had cooled into ice.
Did you flee to Ningzhou, do you think that if you go to Ningzhou, I will let you go, do you think that Ningzhou Mufu does not have my eyeliner, or you go back to Plum Blossom Valley, then I tell you, guard against you, I have arranged people in Plum Blossom Valley, I don't believe it, no matter how big the world is, I can't find you!
Dongfang Zhan on the horse looked at the flag fluttering in the wind on the outskirts of the South Gate from afar, but there was no joy in his heart, when he saw the gradually clear figure on the canopy car, his heart trembled, and a sad tear quietly slipped out......
"Sir, Mo Heng has never begged anyone else in his life, and today he asks Mr. for one thing...."
"Your Majesty must not do this, Your Majesty just commands..."
"Mo Heng begged Mr. to bring her back... Just bring her back safely......"
"Minister... Commanded..."
The earnest words of a year ago are still echoing in his ears, and today, a year later, he finally calmed down Tang Shu and triumphed with his merits, but he could no longer fulfill the promise of that day..........
Tao Yiran glanced at Dongfang Zhan's stunned expression, his eyes were sour, and he reminded in a trembling voice: "Sir, it's time for us to get off the horse..."
When Dongfang Zhan heard this, he immediately dismounted and led everyone to the south gate on foot.
When Dongfang Zhan and the others approached, the military horn sounded, the gongs and drums sounded, and the scene suddenly became enthusiastic.
After a while, the officials watched happily as Dongfang Zhan walked over with the generals.
"Minister Dongfang Zhan led the Pingxi army back to the dynasty, and knocked to see my emperor, long live, long live, long live!" Dongfang Zhan was the first to bow to the ground,
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The soldiers behind him bowed in unison.
Xiao Moheng forced a smile, motioned to Qiu Lin to help him get out of the carriage, and walked over.
Xiao Moheng approached step by step, but his expression became more and more complicated, he obviously promised to bring her back, why didn't he do it?
He tried to make his voice sound cheerful, "Sir has made great achievements, I am grateful, please hurry up!" As he spoke, he leaned over to help him.
When the smiling ministers waited for Dongfang Zhan to get up and give thanks, they were surprised to find that Dongfang Zhan was lying on the ground trembling all over, as if sobbing.
Everyone was shocked, and a smile froze on their faces for a while, and they didn't know why.
Xiao Moheng's outstretched hand shook suddenly, his heart sank suddenly, and he was in a panic, "Sir..."Xiao Moheng called him tentatively, but Dongfang Zhan still didn't raise his head or make a sound.
Everyone stared at him intently, and there was no sound for a while, only Dongfang Zhan's voice could be heard sobbing slightly.
At this time, Tao Yiran, who was behind him, slowly raised his head and said sadly: "Your Majesty......" With tears on his face, he couldn't cry.
Wang Xuzhi was taken aback when he saw this, and hurriedly asked, "General, why is this?" What the hell is going on? ”
Tao Yiran's shoulders trembled, his voice steadied, he looked at Xiao Moheng with desolate eyes, and said, "Your Majesty....Jiang....Miss Jiang....Miss Jiang...... Killed in battle..."
With that, he cried loudly and fell to the ground...
Everyone's hearts trembled, they looked at each other, and shook their heads with sighs on their faces. Only Zhang Shaoyu stumbled. took two steps back, but fortunately was helped by a colleague behind him, and he barely managed to stabilize his body.
But Xiao Moheng didn't seem to hear clearly, and always looked sideways at Tao Yiran, but his face was calm and scary. Qin Xin and Qiu Lin were sad, they both stretched out their hands to help him but didn't dare to help, their slightly trembling hands were just like the mood of the two at this moment.
Dongfang Zhan finally raised his head, his miserable white face was full of vicissitudes and sorrow, and his bloodshot eyes were filled with tears of remorse, "Your Majesty....Please Your Majesty punish the sins of your ministers." The girl died to save the minister....it was the minister who harmed her..."In a hoarse voice. It was a long stream of sorrow and sorrow......
Xiao Moheng was stunned for a long time before he seemed to come to his senses, "Oh....", he replied lightly,
Dongfang Zhan and Tao Yiran, who were kneeling, looked at his calm face. It's even more painful.
"Sir. Hurry up. I have set up a celebration banquet for you, come with me into the palace! Xiao Moheng still helped Dongfang Zhan up as if nothing had happened.
The two looked at him worriedly. I didn't know what to do, so I had to follow him into the city and return to the palace.
Along the way, Xiao Moheng sat in the carriage without saying a word, just staring at the front with dull eyes, Qiu Lin and Qin Xin stood on the side, and the hundred officials rode horses to accompany them, but they originally came happily, but in the end they went back one by one with a heavy face.
However, an hour later, when Xiao Moheng's car arrived at the Taiji Hall, he suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and the whole person was planted, which immediately frightened everyone......
That night, all the ministers stayed in the palace, waiting for Xiao Moheng to wake up, the imperial doctor led by Hua Taiyi has been waiting on the emperor's side, and Xiao Moheng finally woke up in the early morning of the second day, and when the ministers were sure that he was fine, they put down their hearts that had been hanging all night and went back to Shangshu to rest.
In the next few days, Xiao Moheng was in the east hall of the dormitory to take care of political affairs, and Dongfang Zhan was always waiting by the side, but Xiao Moheng never asked Jiang Mei about the details of her death.
Dongfang Zhan in order to prevent him from being sad and depressed, so he handed Jiang Mei's dying handwritten letter to him, but when Xiao Moheng saw the elegant line with his own eyes, he finally couldn't suppress his sadness, and cried so much that he couldn't cry and couldn't bear the pain.........
On the tenth day of the third month of the second year of Dahuan Yonghe, Yue Hua and Ruoyun rushed to Ningzhou Mu Mansion with Jiang Mei's relics. At that time, Ningzhou was already in full bloom, and Mu Xiaohe was holding his little daughter and playing in the garden with his initiation.
When he looked at the one-armed Yue Hua and the tearful Ruoyun standing under the corridor, his heart suddenly jumped violently, just waiting for Yue Hua to hand over a box, he saw the piece of "Moon in the Clouds" and a unique book that had never found a home, the elegant handwriting reminded him of the chic and indifferent figure reclining on the table, that moment was like the sky falling apart, like the vicissitudes of life.......
Since then, no one has ever seen Jing Nangong's smile, and he has always stayed in an attic built by the water next to the Dian Lake, blowing alone with an indifferent flute.........
"Yue'er, when you grow up, will you go back to Ningzhou with Xiao and your brother?"
"Okay, okay, Ningzhou is the south of Caiyun, right? Isn't it beautiful? ”
"Of course, there is a lake there, called Dian Lake, and the Dian Lake is full of blue waves and beautiful scenery!"
"Haha...Yue'er likes it, so can we live there?".
"Wait for Xiao and his brother to build an attic for Xiao Yueyao to live in!"
"A word is a certainty....haha..."
The Lotus Pavilion has been standing quietly on the shore of Dian Lake for many years, but it has not been able to wait for its owner......
Sometimes the more certain it is one's own, it is often not one's own in the end, and after twenty-two years of waiting, all I get is heart-wrenching sadness and deep-rooted thoughts.
On March 16 of the second year of Yonghe, Dongfang Zhan, who returned to Beijing for half a month, fell into self-blame, and finally decided to resign from Xiao Moheng and go into hiding.
"Is even the gentleman going to leave me?" At the gate of the west of Jiankang Palace, Xiao Moheng looked at the hundred officials outside the palace gate with a cold face, and his tone was so cold that there was no trace of anger.
"Your Majesty, for so many years, Zhan Yan has exhausted himself and has exhausted his heart, besides, the girl died because of me, I want to travel all over the world and do some good deeds for her......" Dongfang Zhan's eyes were gloomy, and a pain surged in his heart, obviously the three of them agreed to wander the world together, but now he is the only one left to survive.
"Okay...... Mr. insisted on this, and Mo Heng didn't want to force it... I only hope that he can still hear Mr. 's voice and Mr. Xiao's affairs one day! His eyes were silent, except for a faint wry smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Hehe..." Dongfang Zhan turned his head, looked at him, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, don't worry, although Zhan is not by Your Majesty's side." But she will still serve Your Majesty, the world is unified, and it has always been her wish for the people to live in peace. ”
"Good!" Xiao Moheng's face finally eased, and his eyes shone with a trace of outstanding brilliance, this world is the world they have built together. He's going to keep it for her!
"Then how does Mo Heng contact Mr.?"
"Your Majesty only needs to give an order to Yiyun Pavilion!"
Xiao Moheng nodded slightly. Looking into the distance, the heart is as clear as water...
After a long time, he lowered his eyelashes and said, "Mo Heng is here." Mr. Slow Down! The voice was as slow as a trickle. narrates endless sadness.
Dongfang Zhan finally looked at him deeply. Ran bowed for a long time: "Your Majesty take care, Zhan will leave first, and there will be a period later!" His voice choked. I didn't dare to raise my head, but quickly retreated, went directly to the west, went out of Ximing Gate, jumped on my horse, and rushed to Shijin...
Xiao Moheng never glanced at his back, he didn't want to, he didn't dare, he slowly turned around, and walked straight to the Taiji Hall alone, he passed through the Zhu Ming Gate and the Sun Gate, step by step towards the peak of Dahuan's power, the wide square, the long stone steps, he walked towards the main hall with thousands of steps, and at this moment he finally realized how many people's backbones he stepped on under his feet, and how many people's blood was watered on this road..........
When he stepped on the last step and stood proudly in front of the Taiji Palace, he looked at the magnificent palace and was slightly stunned, more than ten years of thinking and twilight, day and night step by step, when he touched the tall and magnificent stone pillar on the Taiji Hall today, what he touched was not the glory of the peak of power, but an inch of loneliness and sadness.
Three days later, Xiao Moheng took Qiulin and Qin Xin to a valley under Zhongshan to enjoy the last few plum blossoms in spring.
At this time, Qin Xin was looking at a few plum blossoms standing on steep branches, and saw that her petals were smaller, the filaments were longer, and she was thin and rhyme, and the white flower shadow was smiling proudly in the breeze, which was quite a bit of pure fun.
"Your Majesty, this flower is so beautiful, what is the name of this flower?" Qin Xin couldn't help but praise,
Hearing this, Qiu Lin asked the garden keeper behind him, "What is the name of this flower?" ”
"Back to my lord, this flower is a new product this year, and it has not yet been named!"
Qiu Lin and Qin Xin glanced at each other, and looked at Xiao Moheng who was staring blankly at the plum blossom, Xiao Moheng leaned over, closed his eyes and gently smelled the fragrance of the plum blossom, the fragrance of the flower penetrated into his internal organs, affecting every nerve he missed.
"Jiang Mei!"
Seven days later, in the Xiaoyue Building in Junshan, a room of people surrounded a month-old baby, spoiled in every way.
"Rong You, do you think the little boy looks like a young lady?" Su Wen looked at the little guy who was squeaking and laughing happily, and asked softly,
"Well....this....it should look like!" Rong and thought about it in every way, and finally gave such an answer,
Hearing this, Ru Hui walked over, glanced at the child in the cradle a few times, and frowned, "But we don't know what Miss looked like when she was a child?" ”
Everyone came to their senses and said, "Oh too! ”
Jiuzhu suddenly floated out, "If the main thing is here, he must know!" ”
Everyone thought of Luoxuan, and they couldn't help but feel a little sad, and at this time, a hoarse and calm voice came from behind them, "Like her!" ”
When everyone looked back, they saw Dongfang Zhan of the lupine scarf, walking lightly, everyone was overjoyed, and Yun Zhi was so surprised that she almost shed tears.
Ruoyun hurriedly ran over and said, "Oh, sir, you are finally back, Su Wen and Lingshu quarreled, and the two of them rushed to be the master of the little son!" ”
When Dongfang Zhan heard this, he smiled, shook his head helplessly, he glanced around at everyone, and saw that they all took good care of the child, and there was a hint of relief in his heart, when his eyes fell on Yun Zhi, there was a moment of froze, and then he was covered by a faint smile.
Suddenly, Su Wen patted his head and shouted, "Oops! Oh no, my pills are almost ready, I'm going to have to check them out! Then he took advantage of the unpreparedness of the crowd, stretched out his hand, picked up the little baby, and ran to his hearth.
"Hey!"
"Hey!"
Everyone screamed, Jiuzhu immediately followed, and said angrily as he ran: "If you scare the little boy, see if I don't break your legs!" ”
And Ruoyun jumped up in a hurry, "Su asked, I haven't changed the little boy's diaper yet!" ”
As soon as her voice fell, she burst into laughter,
"Haha..."
"Haha......"
"Haha......"
