Chapter 793: Smile
After speaking, Ye Jinyu slowly got up, expressionless, arched his hand again, waved at Li Sui, and then got up and waited for his next words.
Li Sui's lips opened slightly, but he couldn't speak for a long time, and it wasn't until a long time later that he slowly spoke, "Why do you have to go?" ”
"The way of the world." Ye Jinyu's voice was very light, so that people couldn't hear the emotions mixed in it, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
Li Sui didn't speak again, and he didn't know what to say at this time, and those secret arrangements couldn't be put on the table......
"Your Highness, Your Majesty, it's time for dinner." Suddenly, Ruxin approached and called them for lunch.
Ye Jinyu was about to go with him, but found Li Sui standing in place, motionless.
"Li Sui, let's eat first." Ye Jinyu spoke.
"Ahh Li Sui smiled and waved his hand at him, "No, the palace is busy with affairs, I have to go back quickly, I think Prime Minister Shangguan is talking about me again." "The prime minister mentioned here is naturally Shangguan Yu, since Li Sui took the throne, he has been a dominant family, leading three provinces in the imperial court, and his status can be described as below one person and above ten thousand people.
"Then I will send it to the Holy One." Ye Jinyu waved at Li Sui again, watching him leave, until he completely disappeared from his sight, Ye Jinyu slowly got up. With an expressionless face, he waved his hand at Ruxin, who was standing on the side, and said with a smile: "Let's go." ”
……
Daming Palace, Zichen Palace.
Recently, Li Sui has almost been going back and forth between Zichen Hall and Ye Jinyu's residence, for convenience, he dismissed his soldiers and arranged them into the forbidden army left by the old emperor, and only one person left by him was responsible for driving.
There were no women in the palace, some of them went with the queen, and some of them were sent back to their hometowns by him even if they were the concubines of the old emperor, and only a hundred or so eunuchs were in the palace to maintain the operation of this empty palace.
"Zheng-Zheng-" The sound of the sonorous piano kept coming from the Zichen Palace. Li Sui lay lazily on a mat, plucking the strings with only one hand.
Nearby, a small stove was heating on it, and the water vapor rose from it, forming a looming mist that gathered on the beams in the store.
He had tea leaves in his hand, as if he was waiting to entertain someone.
"Da-da-" Someone came in, feet on the floor, making a noise.
Li Sui then took his eyes off the piano and looked at the comer, looking bored.
"Your Majesty." Someone came to salute, and the voice was old, it was Shangguan Yu.
"Hmm." Li Sui nodded, motioned for Shangguan Yu to sit next to him, and then made tea for him with his own hands.
Today's Shangguan Yu is still wearing a white robe, twisting a white beard, half-squinting his eyes, leisurely. He has been in a good mood recently, although the entire Tang Dynasty is in a state of mourning for the old emperor and the whole country is in a state of white silk, but he still has the leisure to make fun of Li Sui.
"The old man walked all the way, and when he saw that the palace was deserted, and he didn't see the women, he thought he was in the wrong place." After speaking, Shangguan Yu smiled "haha".
Li Sui, who was making tea, understood that this was Shangguan Yu urging him to accept the queen.
Li Sui didn't say a word, silently brewed tea for Shangguan Yu, poured it into the teacup, dipped it in the bottom of the cup, and gently put it in front of Shangguan Yu, "I don't bother you about my affairs." ”
Shangguan Yu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and nodded.
"Your Majesty, in a few days, the Midyear Festival will be the time to worship the ancestors, and related matters can be put on the agenda." Shangguan Yu said to Li Sui.
Li Sui nodded, "Everything is left to your old arrangement." ”
"Okay."
"Anything else?" Li Sui poured himself a cup of tea and drank it himself.
At this time, Shangguan Yu no longer brushed his beard, opened his eyes, and said with a serious face, "Recently, there is still a little turmoil in the capital, and I and the Chu guards both guess that it is the Turkic and the Morning and Dusk remnants, and please be more careful." ”
"Hmm." Li Sui nodded noncommittally, "What else?" ”
"Not for now." After Shangguan Yu finished speaking, Wuzi drank two sips of tea, which was clear and sweet, no less than his favorite pot of sake.
"Hmm. You stand down. Li Sui waved his hand and let Shangguan Yu go down like this, leaving him alone in this huge palace.
……
Li Sui was resting a long sword on his lap, his slender fingers gently attached to the sword body glowing with cold light. The afternoon sun shone into the hall, refracting the light and shadow of the Dao, scattered in every corner of the room. Autumn afternoons are flashing by.
"Hey-" The sun was setting, looking at the slanting sun, Li Sui couldn't help sighing, through the palace gate, looking at the distant sky, the fiery red fire burned the clouds and the desolation. There is no mistake
With tears shining in his eyes, Li Sui called softly, "Father, the emperor......" It was not that he was unwilling to make the holy decree public, but the old emperor resolutely refused to let it......
That night, Li Sui was brought into this big interior, and Wei Mingyuan led him to meet Li Ruhui, who had closed his eyes forever, a generation of heroes, and before he died, he didn't even have time to meet his favorite youngest son.
Wei Mingyuan told Li Sui how the old emperor died.
Originally, the old emperor was going to take him down when Li Chendui returned privately, not to mention the execution, at least to cure him and throw him into prison. But who knew that Li Chendui took the first step, visited in person, and gave gifts that had already been done before, thinking that the old emperor would not find out what was boring.
At that time, the old emperor really didn't notice that Li Chendui was so mad that he poisoned the gift, after the old emperor ate the gift offered by Li Chendui, although he was still alive and well on the surface, but secretly, he faintly noticed that his body was not as good as day by day, so he sent someone to check it, and sure enough, he found it out.
However, by the time Li Sui and Ye Jinyu came to visit, he had no extra strength to meet them. Patiently lifted the pen, trembling and leaving his will. As for inviting Wei Mingyuan into the palace, it was to arrange the aftermath......
After listening to Wei Mingyuan's story, Li Sui made up his mind to arrest Li Chendu, but who knew that after seeing the old emperor's holy decree, he was even more surprised by the old emperor's will, which was an arrangement that no one expected, maybe only Wei Mingyuan could vaguely guess a little bit.
But Li Sui can't say that he can do it according to his own heart, this is the most resolute request of the old emperor, looking at the "sleeping" person, Li Sui's already cold heart on the battlefield, the warmth frozen in his heart thawed again, and it became hot, and tears unconsciously accumulated in his eyes. That night, he went to hunt down Li Chendui with tears, ignoring Ye Jinyu, but he didn't expect this kind of mistake to happen again.
Recently, there have been a lot of things, and each piece of sadness can be described as "unthinkable, unforgettable".
……
"Pap-pa-" The endless whip sound lingered in Ye Jinyu's dream, and under the heavy shadow of the whip, the pale face was once again reflected in his dream, close to his face in the dream, and a black peach blossom bloomed silently.
"White foam!" Ye Jinyu suddenly sat up from the bed, panting in his mouth, only to feel that a nerve in his brain was pulled by an invisible hand, and he had a headache.
"Whew-whew-" After exhaling deeply, Ye Jinyu felt a moment of peace. The blood, the shouts, and the words of the unknown old man in prison were as clear as a knife in his mind.
Intrigues, tricks, intrigue, intrigues...... Things that weren't supposed to appear in front of him broke into his sight little by little. What is true? What is false? Everything gradually became blurry in Ye Jinyu's eyes. Originally, what he believed in began to waver, and what he did not believe in became real. He wanted to go back to the past, but he woke up from a dream, but he was crippled......
Shaking his head, his eyes cast outside the house, it was not yet dawn.
Leaning on the pillow silently, Ye Jinyu began to think about the preparations before leaving, what is there to take with him? What could he leave forever in the city where he had lived for twenty years and was still a stranger.
The past life is like smoke and clouds in a dream, with a layer of confusion in the unreal. And now, when I first woke up from the big dream, it seemed that it was still in it......
"White foam ......" Ye Jinyu gradually began to distinguish the people he had met, and the first to bear the brunt was white foam, which was a thought he didn't expect, abrupt, unreasonable but so destined......
From cold to warm. White foam doesn't have much to do with him. In the short years of prison, Bai Mo was the first person he Ye Jinyu met, and it was also the last person before he closed his eyes when he was about to leave. Although the scars on his body were not caused by him, the eternal spade was given by him.
Looking back now, there should be grievances, but Ye Jinyu always thinks of his right to be charity, and a trace of tenderness is better than nothing. He didn't know what kind of state of mind it was, everything was so unexplained that it was hard to figure out.
In this confused hesitation, Ye Jinyu slowly regained his calm mood in this early morning room, but secretly had a ridiculous idea, and he wanted to do it......
Had breakfast. Today's Li Sui came a little later than before. When he came, he walked in a messy way, rubbed his eyes constantly, and walked vaguely, as if he hadn't slept well last night, and this is indeed the reason for all this.
"Li Sui." Ye Jinyu saluted Li Sui, as respectful as ever.
Li Sui waved his hand and smiled at him. In front of Ye Jinyu, Li Sui has never been sluggish, except for that drunkenness.
"How much better have you been today?" Li Sui asked, but he didn't know if he was referring to Ye Jinyu's body or his spirit.
"Much better." Ye Jinyu returned, and after that, he smiled at Li Sui.
The autumn wind is still bleak, yellow leaves, withered grass, but Li Sui thinks that this clear sky is better than the spring dynasty.
On the blue sky, there are flowing clouds. Every once in a while, there are always a few geese flying south, which makes people no longer think about the continuous rain and those sad things a few days ago.
"It's been really boring to visit the park lately." Li Sui and Ye Jinyu walked side by side, complaining like this while walking, Ye Jinyu also nodded and agreed.
"Do you want to hear Xiao?" Li Sui asked.
"Hmm."
Li Sui took a bamboo flute he was carrying, slowly climbed to the highest pavilion in the garden, crossed the wooden railing painted red, and stood alone in the autumn wind.
In fact, at this time, the autumn wind was no longer manic, but quieted down obediently, as if in order not to disturb Li Sui's playing, and as if looking forward to his beginning, like Ye Jinyu behind Li Sui, his elbows supported the railing, his chin rested on his palm, his head tilted, and he looked at the fluttering golden clothes above without squinting.
"Woo-" The sound of the flute started, but it did not have the sadness that is common in secular autumn, but belonged to the kind of direct expression of the chest, and the sound blew out of his good mood.
At the beginning, the sound of the flute jumped briskly, like a golden sunset, a hundred birds returned to the forest, startled the residual leaves, and the residual leaves spread all over the ground, like a golden carpet, beautiful and luxurious, but not lingering and solemn, but there is a kind of aesthetic joy.
