Luoyang Imperial City, East Gate.

The towering city wall, has been many broken, the vermilion paint has faded, the glass color is thin, in the flowing fire in the sky, the evening light is desolate, under the city gate, there are two white-haired veterans, holding spears, and there is no god in their eyes.

He stood for a long time, and suddenly a sour feeling came over him.

……

Gao Xian was routinely inspecting the imperial city, and happened to come to the east gate to check, and saw a person standing under the city gate from a distance, walked closer, and looked at it again, there was a familiar feeling, Gao Xian looked at the person carefully, and slowly stepped forward, while feeling a little excited in his heart.

"Brother Yuan? Is that you? Gao Xian's voice trembled a little, and he asked tentatively unsure.

Hearing the shout, the young man paused slightly, and suddenly looked back.

"Senior brother, it's me!" Yuan Dao's heart was mixed, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on his face, reflecting a little tiredness.

"You're finally back!" Gao Xian was excited, hurriedly stepped forward, and hugged Yuan Dao tightly.

"Brother Gao, how are you doing?" Yuan Dao smiled gloomily and asked in a low voice.

"It's the same as before, what else can you do besides guarding this palm-sized place?" Gao Xian let go of Yuan Dao and said with a wry smile.

"yes, that's how it was when I left, it hasn't changed at all." Yuan Dao sighed.

"The mountains are high and the waters are long, it's good to come back, let's go, go back to see my uncle, his old man is seriously ill, don't you know yet?" Gao Xian hurriedly pulled Yuan Dao and walked towards Shangshu Mansion.

"I know, that's why I rushed back." Yuan Dao said.

……

After a short chat, the two hurriedly went to visit Yuan Zhi Lao Shangshu.

……

The Imperial City Thousand Autumn Palace.

……

The palace is cold, the dragon pillow is empty, on the white jade platform, shoot all over the railing, don't ask about the world for a long time, look far away, the covered bridge is vaguely lying on the old dog, the flower pond is densely populated, and in the other garden, the concubine is still drunk.

The fire is urgent, Feiyan is thin, in front of the Qianqiu Palace, I want to capture the blue sky, the beautiful scenery is difficult to collect, look back at the square inch, a placket of afterglow purple forbidden sky, half of the country into a broken dream, the old minister, the white head Wu Gou.

……

The high platform in front of Li Wen's independent hall, looking from afar by the railing, looking sad, under the slanting sun, the figure is long.

Bai Yanran saw Jun Rusi, quite lonely, desolate, sunset in the west mountains, tomorrow out of the east, but this country of three thousand miles of rivers and mountains, when will it return to one side? If you want to come to the young son of heaven, you are also full of hesitation, you want to rectify the country and have ambitions, you want to revitalize but you are powerless, you are like this every day, you are tormented, and you are also a poor person......

"Your Majesty, Yuan Dao is back." She walked up to Li Wen and saluted.

"Well, it's good to be back." Li Wen was sad and depressed.

"Your Majesty is either distracted on the dragon couch, or melancholy on the high platform, don't you feel tired?" She asked, she had been alone with him for so long, talking to him every day, trying to dispel the bitterness in his heart, but her warmth still couldn't dissolve the iceberg in his heart.

"Tired." Li Wen's eyebrows were like late autumn, and he looked at the sunset that was about to disappear, and said softly.

"In that case, why not put it down?" She wanted to persuade her, but the grand ideal in his heart became his heaviest burden, and he wanted to dominate the world by himself, such an ideal, in today's view, can only be laughed at.

"What does it mean to let go? I've never gotten anything, and what can I let go? If I can't even think about it, why should I stay in this deep palace and live an ordinary life. And you, many years older than me, when you took you in, you were also entrusted by others, with your ability, presumably even if you don't hide here in me, Luo Feng will not be able to find you, think about it, you stay here, you are also entrusted by others. Li Wen had a smile on his face, squinting at her, his eyes were a little doting, as if to say, everything, can't escape my eyes.

"This ......" Bai Yanran was surprised, he actually guessed, it was really amazing, if he was still the one in the world, he must be a good monarch, a good emperor, just ...... Born at the wrong time.

"That's it, I don't need to tell me about the troubles outside today, I already know everything, the west is fighting well, especially the empty mountain army Sima Yan Beifeng, when I first saw him, I felt that he was not an ordinary person." Li Wen thought that he had won the battle in the west, and he was still very relieved in his heart.

"Yes, he defeated the general Qi Hong, known as the nightmare of the grassland, he is really a young hero, and his future is limitless." Bai Yanran looked at Li Wen magically, they had met?

"Is it all out there?" Li Wen asked.

"Yes, the name Yan Beifeng, Luoyang is already well-known, mainly because of the news brought by the people who fled from the west, and it caused a lot of uproar." Bai Yanran said quietly, Yan Sima retreated from Xianrong in a battle, and begged Hong at the foot of Hutou Mountain, which is already a god, as for why it was in a uproar, the main reason is that the name of the grassland nightmare begging Hong is too big, and he killed 80,000 Menghu people back then, although it has nothing to do with the Central Plains, but he feels scared just listening to it, not to mention the stories of those merchants who came back from the grassland. Therefore, Yan Beifeng will not make a move if he doesn't make a move, and as soon as he makes a move, he will be known to the whole world.

"Don't talk about it, the more I talk about it, the more useless I feel." Li Wen smiled bitterly, he was not as good as a kid in his early twenties, and he was a son of heaven in vain.

"Your Majesty......" Bai Yanran snorted angrily and looked at Li Wen with a resentful expression.

"Okay, okay, let's watch the sunset here with me."

"Good!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

……

Let's talk about Shangshu Mansion, Gao Xian pulled Yuan Dao all the way back to Shangshu Mansion and entered Yuan Zhi's room.

Yuan Zhi still retained his last breath under the conditioning of many Lang Zhong and doctors, lying on the sickbed and dying, his face was already sore, coughing up blood from time to time, and the subordinates did not dare to relax for a moment.

Yuan Dao entered the door, and when he saw his father like this, he was shocked and sad, and knelt down in front of the couch and cried bitterly.

"Daddy! My son is back to see you! Yuan Daosheng burst into tears, sobbing and holding Yuan Zhi's thin hand tightly.

Yuan Zhi's pale and chapped lips on the couch moved slightly, and he turned his head with difficulty, his eyes were no longer visible, and when he heard the call, he knew that it was his son.

"Dao'er, you're finally, finally back......" Yuan Zhi said hoarsely.

"It's back, Daddy!" Yuan Dao said while crying.

"Daddy...... Father...... Daddy has been waiting for you for a long time...... It's almost overwhelmed, huh...... Haha...... "Yuan Zhi didn't say a word, he had to use his best strength, he didn't say a word, he was already a little short of breath."

"It's okay, Dad, you're going to get better, you're going to be fine!" Yuan Dao took his father's hand and put it on his forehead, deceiving himself in pain.

"You heard my father say that the world is divided and merged, and it has been chaotic for so many years, and it has been divided for so many years, it is time to merge, Your Majesty's childhood on the throne is an empty shelf, is a poor man, that is, us, and respect him as the Son of Heaven, Dad knows, you young people have big ambitions, have your own careers, Dad only asks you, no matter which government is in power in the future, who is called the emperor to rule the world, you must protect Your Majesty, let him live in peace, even if you are a commoner......"

Yuan Zhi took a deep breath and tried his best to explain this last wish to Yuan Dao. After speaking, he slowly closed his eyes, and there were tears in the corners of his eyes.

Yuan Dao nodded emphatically.

"The boy knows, Daddy! Father? Father?! ”

When Yuan Dao felt his father's hand suddenly fall, his heart trembled strongly and he shouted in horror.

Gao Xian, who was standing behind Yuan Dao, was startled, hurriedly stepped forward to check, stretched out his hand and touched his nose, and suddenly his head drooped and he began to cry.

……

……

……

"Daddy!"

Yuan Dao looked up to the sky and roared, his liver and gallbladder were split!
