Longzang Cave is one of the eight views of Zhangqiu, located in the east of Tiancang Ridge and in the middle of Siji Mountain. The so-called 'Dragon Cave Smoke Wind Day Clear'.

Emperor Yanguang was caressed by people, stepped into the cave, and instantly felt a coolness. He took a deep breath, and the gasping for his life slowly subsided. Standing with his hands in his hands, his body was still full of the majesty of the Son of Heaven.

Not far into the cave, I saw a natural cave window above the right side of the cave, and I could see the clouds outside the sky when I looked at it.

"Nice view." Emperor Yanguang's eyes lit up, and he looked at the scenery in the cave in a daze, like a child who had never seen the world.

He looked up for a while, and laughed at himself: "I have never been out of Beijing in my life, but I didn't expect that when I lost my country, I not only saw the magnificent waves of the sea, but also saw such a unique cave." Oh, people say that the whole world is not the king's land. The vastness of the four seas belongs to me, but why can I only see the beauty of the mountains and rivers until now? ”

Chen Yuanyuan glanced around and said: "If Your Majesty likes the beautiful scenery, go back to Wuzhong, the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, the slave family picks lotus roots for Your Majesty to eat, and the boat passes under the stone bridge, and the water is clear and ......sweet."

Emperor Yanguang listened to these quietly, a trace of regret in his eyes, and sighed: "I can't go in this life." ”

"Your Majesty......"

"If I had a next life, I thought maybe I would be a boatman in Jiangnan, rowing and fishing every day, and sitting on the boat and watching the stream in my spare time. The tide is physiological, the tide is flat and the tide is back. ”

At this point, there was a hint of yearning in his eyes, but he sighed abruptly.

"But I can only wait for the next life, I don't have the ability to prosper the country in this life, and I have sat on the throne for 18 years, and I have missed the people of the world."

"Why can't you go?" Chen Yuanyuan asked again.

Emperor Yanguang turned his head and glanced at Mama Lu behind him, smiled faintly, and said, "Heh, the heavenly family is ruthless." At present, the anti-thieves have not retreated, but these people must send me to Jinan, why? In order to set the capital as soon as possible, I led a group of courtiers to make a big fanfare, and the honor guard entered Jinan for all the people to look up to, telling the subjects that the Son of Heaven would return to the throne, and the world would know that Shandong was still under the rule of the Chu Dynasty. But what am I in the midst of this? A name. My children only call one of these names? How can they care about the joys and sorrows of this 'name'? ”

As they spoke, they were walking towards the cave of the dragon. I saw that there was a platform in the hole, one zhang high, three zhang long, and six feet wide? Smooth as a bed? There is a mountain spring bubbling down. This is the 'dragon bed' in this dragon cave, as if there is really a dragon living in the cave? Usually hovered on this dragon bed.

Is there a small hole above the dragon's bed that can accommodate people? Chen Yuanyuan helped Emperor Yanguang walk over? Walked more than ten steps to the cave, the front is narrow and difficult to enter, take a torch to shine, unfathomable? Inside the bell rocks? Water drops flow.

"Your Majesty, shall we escape?" Chen Yuanyuan said in a low voice, "Although I am a short-sighted woman, I also know that even if Your Majesty goes to Jinan, he can only become a puppet. Why don't you take this opportunity today to escape, let's go back to the mountains and forests? Tea and light rice, and you don't have to pay attention to these intrigues. I can help His Majesty escape......"

Emperor Yanguang glanced back? Is there sunlight shining down from the cave, and the sunlight outside the cave is just right? The world is bright. When I turned my head again, I felt that the cave was cold and dark.

Isn't he in a hurry to answer Chen Yuanyuan immediately? Just sighed: "When the capital is broken? I want to die? They stopped me. These days, the most painful thing for me is not that the Zhou Mei sisters and brothers have set me up, but it is good to let the shallow children see the difficulty of defending the country. I am saddened that my ancestors died at my hands. How can you say this kind of heart-eating feeling, how much sorrow can you have? Ha, the hatred of the country! ”

"Isn't it ridiculous that I am rich in the world, and the whole world is dead, and I still go to plough an acre of land?"

When he said this, he straightened his waist and said, "They want me to make a name, so that I can forget my joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and take it as a jade seal in their hands, and as a holy decree for them." Since I am destined to be the king of a dead country, then I should be the king of this dead country. This is the fate that I noticed the moment I sat on the dragon chair, and it was the fate I chose with my own hands. ”

"Looking back, the fortunes of the world make people. I made the choice, but everything turned out to be completely different from what I expected. But in any case, it was my own choice......"

There are more things in his heart that cannot be expressed. Coming to this point, everything can only be chewed on its own.

Speaking of which, there are only four words 'helpless'.

On this day, sitting in this cave on the mountainside of Siji Mountain, Emperor Yanguang listened to the soldiers and horses fighting under the mountain. There are also a lot of more practical things in my head.

If he really escaped with Chen Yuanyuan, and leaked his hiding a little wherever he went, the situation would only get worse. Not to mention, what can we do in the future? He has been an emperor since elementary school, and he doesn't know many things, and he has lived to an age, and it is too late to learn anything else, and he has no strength on his body. Unlike previous generations of emperors who still have their own hobbies, such as being a cook, a carpenter, a Taoist, etc., he is devoted to governing the country......

In short, you can't escape, to be a husband is just to say, and it's tiring to do some work.

Now, I don't even bother to think about 'what to do', what's the point of living?

Those mediocre people under the mountain were fighting, and Emperor Yanguang listened silently, imagining which counter-soldier would rush up to find him in the end, and how he lived his life.

Until the night, the light of a torch came from the front, and someone stepped in, illuminating the Longzang Cave even brighter, and Emperor Yanguang, who was sitting there, looked up and sighed.

"It's you again."

"Father." Wang smiled and saluted, and said, "The son-in-law is late to save the car, please forgive my father." ”

"What if I don't want to forgive your sins?"

Wang Xiao really didn't expect him to be so naughty, so he smiled helplessly, didn't answer, and took out a piece of dry food from his arms.

"Father hasn't eaten for a day, are you hungry?"

Hungry is indeed hungry, Emperor Yanguang took the dry food, and he was not polite, chewed silently, and said slowly: "Do you know where your sin is?" ”

"The son is stupid."

"I started from Laizhou to Jinan, and the road was not fast. But what does it mean that the thieves were able to ambush me before I got the news and arrived in Jinan? It shows that before I set off, someone passed the news to the thief. And the person who decided my itinerary is all your comrades, and this spy is likely to be one of the three people of Qian Chengyun, Wu Pei, and Fu Qingzhu. If you don't notice it, can you be convicted? ”

With that, he glanced at Wang Xiao and looked like, "Although you want to coerce me, I will also point out your shortcomings."

Wang Xiao thought for a while and said, "Erchen doesn't see it that way. ”

"Hmph, hard mouth."

"The emperor's father has always admired his sons. But sometimes, it's inevitable that you're still too suspicious. ”

Emperor Yanguang sneered and said, "Could it be that the thieves have calculated in advance that they will escort me to Jinan?" ”

"Why not?" Wang smiled: "One of the important reasons why we decided to escort my father to Jinan is that the anti-thieves' attack on Dezhou City did not go well. But, this is something they can control. ”

As he spoke, he picked up a branch and drew a triangle on the ground, saying, "Anti-thief military master Meng Jiu, his strategy should not be underestimated." Erchen always thought that the defense of Texas was smooth, and he was slightly better than Meng Jiu. But now that I think about it, he counted it all in the first place, and you see, Father, at first we just wanted to drag them until they ran out of food. But once the anti-thieves slow down their offensive, we will think more, and we want our father to come forward as soon as possible to issue an edict to stabilize the hearts of the people, and then connect Dezhou, Jinan, and Laizhou to control Shandong. Therefore, he deliberately besieged the city of Dezhou without attacking it, gave us a relaxed environment, and made a tired posture of marching, in order to attract his father to Jinan. And that's just one of them. ”

Emperor Yanguang said lightly: "If I am allowed to choose, I will not come." ”

"It's not our choice, and Laizhou is not safe." Wang Xiao sighed and said, "Meng Jiu's second intention is to lock our army in Texas. If my guess is correct, there must already be a naval division ready to attack Laizhou......"

"Alarmist." Emperor Yanguang sneered: "Where did the anti-thief come from?" ”

"There are no anti-thieves, Zheng Yuanhua does."

"How dare he?!"

"Why wouldn't he dare?" Wang said with a smile: "Most of the Jiaodong troops are in Texas, and the remaining soldiers and horses are mediocre. He only needs to secretly send a team of sailors, and the number of ships does not need to be large, and the number of people does not need to be large. infiltrated Jiaodong in the name of the Japanese and killed the emperor's father, so that he could help the emperor's grandson ascend the throne. ”

When Emperor Yanguang heard this, he actually laughed. It's just that the smile is getting more and more bitter.

"Meng Jiu and Zheng Yuanhua must have colluded." Wang Xiao sighed: "I was wondering from the beginning, why Meng Jiu turned around and came to Texas. He was actually afraid that I would bring all the soldiers and horses back to Laizhou to meet your father and emperor. Therefore, the defeat of King Wu Yan was a little, and he immediately asked Tang Jie to lead troops to contain our troops. Make Laizhou relax his vigilance, so that Zheng Yuanhua can arrange someone to kill his father. ”

As he spoke, he drew another circle outside the triangle he had originally drawn, and said, "On the other hand, he himself laid an ambush to attract his father to Jinan. In this case, he will kill it himself. Whether his father moves or doesn't move, he has a two-pronged approach, that is, he wants to kill his father and the emperor completely, and not give you a little way to live! ”

Emperor Yanguang was still a little unconvinced, and muttered: "It's just some chaotic people, can they have such means?" Heh, I'm afraid it was arranged by Zheng Yuanhua, a rebel. If it weren't until the last moment, this rebel wouldn't dare to kill the monarch in person, and wanted to force me into the hands of Meng Jiu. ”

"Father still underestimates Meng Jiu."

"Huh."

"Father, the first thing we think about should not be whether Wu Pei, Qian Chengyuan, and Fu Qingzhu are rebellious. Admitting that the opponent is strong, it's nothing," Wang Xiao shook his head and sighed: "It's been eighteen years, and my father hasn't understood it?" You always underestimate your enemies and doubt your subordinates. Lu Gong is unfaithful? Zuo Gong is unfaithful? Inspector Li was also disloyal back then? Aside from these ministers, Du Zhenghe is loyal to His Majesty, why is he staying by King Qi's side today? Erchen ......"

"Enough!" Emperor Yanguang finally got angry and roared, "What about Zheng Yuanhua?!" He's a thief! If it weren't for this rebel, I would still dare to go to Nanjing, and half of the country! As long as this rebellion comes out, do you know what the consequences will be?! And you, I shouldn't have used you in the first place......"

"If my father hadn't used my sons, my father would have died!" Wang laughed and shouted.

The cave was quiet.

Weng and his son-in-law looked at each other, both gasping a little.

"Father, it won't be everyone who is loyal. Among the ten loyal ministers, there will always be rebellion in twos and threes. But do you really have to be wary of everyone because of these rebellions? ”

Wang Xiao looked at Emperor Yanguang, and said this sentence extremely sincerely.

In this sentence, he was not only talking about his trust in Wu Pei and others, but also saying that he had no intention of rebelling against Emperor Yanguang......

Emperor Yanguang looked at Wang Xiao's gaze, was silent for a long time, and finally smiled bitterly and sighed: "You are still too young, one day, you will understand that I am right." Even if I could believe you, I could only believe in you today, here and now, what is the use? In this world, you can't control it. ”

"I can't control it!" He sighed, didn't bother to say more to Wang Xiao, walked away, looked at the lava of the Longzang Cave with his hands, and groaned in a low voice.

"The cave-shaped crane soars, and the name of the cave is Xilongzang...... I don't know when the hidden dragon will ride the clouds, thunder and rain in all directions, leaving this hole empty and abandoning the secluded barrier and isolating the poor. When did the dragon bed start when did it start to be famous? ”
