Although the 19-year military exercise of Zhaowu ended unhappily, the days will continue......

Fast forward to May, and the weather is starting to get hot. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe scorching sun at noon, the shade of the trees, the big yellow dog snoring and sticking out its tongue under the tree, knowing the loud noise in the tree.

In the back garden of the palace of Jingshan City, it is cool and pleasant, and there is no cave. The shady green trees shade the summer sun, and there is a pond in the middle of the yard, the pond is crystal clear, the lotus leaves and fields on the pond are occasionally mottled and reflected, which is reflected in the pond of the terrace water pavilion.

A breeze blew, and the whole pond was like a crystal curtain embroidered with lotus leaves and lotus flowers, gently blown up by the wind. The reflection of the balcony also swayed, making people dizzy and intoxicated.

The pond is filled with a dark fragrance. Under the rose flower stand, there are two reclining chairs and a small machine, on which are turtle jelly, sour plum soup and watermelon slices, all of which are delicious food to quench thirst and moisten dryness.

Qin Lei was wearing a white silk wide coat, lying on his back on a chair, covering his face with a book bound in this thread, and a pair of fine feet resting straight on Ruolan's knees.

Ruolan wore a light purple light gauze single skirt, covered with a light red placket and a carapace, gently pressed on the prince's calf with one hand, and drove away flying insects with a fan for him with the other. The sleeves slipped down to the crook of the arm, revealing the pink and white plump arms, which contrasted with the lake-green jade bracelet on the wrist, which was very cute.

As soon as he came back from Longxi, Qin Lei took Ruolan from Beijing to here, and the city wall of Jingshan City had been completed, and the market in the city had begun to take shape, and it was fully equipped with living conditions. Second, since he completely fell out with Emperor Zhaowu, beheaded Lou Wanli and his fans, and collected Tie Ying and his Imperial Forest Bow Battalion. His Majesty the Emperor, who felt deeply threatened, transferred back Princess Heyang, who lived in the eastern capital, and ordered her to be in charge of the royal spy.

After the merger of the two royal secret services, the power that erupted was quite terrifying. For a time, the secret agents of other parties in the central capital city were caught and killed, and they had to temporarily stop and keep a low profile.

Adhering to the will of His Majesty the Emperor, the newly established royal spy focused their attack on the palace of Longwei County, and although Hou Xin and his spy department did their best to deal with it, they still suffered considerable losses. Even Zhuang Dieer's restaurant Chu restaurant chain was unbearable and had to close its doors to avoid the limelight for the time being.

In this case, Qin Lei ordered all institutions of the royal palace not to engage in a full-scale confrontation with their opponents, but only to shrink their forces to Nancheng, and to maintain control of Nancheng and Nanmen at all costs, and the rest of the parties could be abandoned.

The activities of the royal palace in the capital went underground, and those parts that had to be exposed to the ground, such as the palace itself and the government affairs temple, were relocated to the Jingshan city eighty miles on the outskirts of Beijing.

If you come, you will naturally follow. She originally thought that after coming to Jingshan City, at least she would be able to see the prince every morning and evening, talk to him, pinch his feet, and she was very excited when she thought about it. But after arriving, he found that the prince was too busy, he had to be busy training his army, summoning the gentry who favored him, inspecting the areas under his control, and he had to figure out how to deal with Zhao Wuyi.

In this case, if you can see him three or five times a month, you will burn high incense. Ruolan couldn't help but feel a little lost at first, but when she thought of the Miss Li family who was trapped in the capital, and Sister Yunshang who was far away in the south, she became content...... After all, I can still hear the news of the prince every day, and I can see him every few days.

'The prince is a dragon soaring in the nine heavens, and he can't be expected to be in the gentle country, as long as he can occasionally remember that there is a little woman when he soars up to 90,000 miles, and he is waiting for him infatuatedly...... Of course, it would be perfect if you could cast a gentle glance once in a while. Miss Ruolan thought.

The prince was so busy that he never stayed in the palace for more than eight hours. But this time it was a little strange, he hadn't been out since he returned home two days ago.

It was a good thing that he could finally rest, Ruolan thought so at first. But in less than half a day, she found that the prince was quite wrong...... To describe Qin Lei in two words, it is 'wilted'. If he used to be like the sun hanging high in the sky, always exuding endless enthusiasm, then now it is the moon on the willow treetops, and it is still the thin crescent moon of the second and third years of junior high school, light and silent, and full of sadness.

Miss Ruolan was very distressed, she knew that the prince must have encountered a big trouble that was difficult to solve, so he would fall into such a long period of distress. Ruolan asked a few times, but the prince was vague, so she stopped asking, and instead served wholeheartedly, hoping to use double her tenderness to let him get through the difficulties faster.

Awakened from the nightmare, Qin Lei sat up suddenly, and the book covering his face naturally slipped to the ground. It startled Ruolan, who was in a trance, a little, and the Luo fan in her hand also fell to the ground.

Ruolan said distressedly: "Master, did you have a nightmare? ”

Qin Lei scratched his hair vigorously, nodded sleepily, and shouted with a tangled face: "I can't sleep, I'm annoyed when I'm asleep, I'm annoyed by nightmares, I'm annoying!" ”

Ruolan smiled softly: "Maybe I was too tired a few days ago, and it is possible that my body is tired." ”

Qin Lei stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, and muttered in a low voice: "Recently, I have been very angry, and the amount of eye feces has increased significantly." ”

Ruolan covered her mouth and chuckled, bent down to pick up the fan, and whispered: "If you don't go out for a walk with your master, you will inevitably be annoyed if you stay at home for a long time." ”

"Get out? No! Qin Lei hesitated for a moment and then refused: "I'm just hiding outside, so the cat is at home." ”

"What the hell is the matter with you?" Ruolan plucked up her courage and said, "The slave maid still doesn't remember what you were afraid of, Lord Wang. ”

"You really don't know?" Qin Lei retracted his feet, sat cross-legged on the recliner, and said in surprise: "It's all over the city, you don't even know." ”

"The slave and maid do not go out of the gate, do not step through the second door, neither inquire nor be told, and indeed do not know anything." Seeing that the prince didn't seem to believe it, Ruolan whispered aggrieved.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you." Qin Lei gritted his teeth and said, "Three days later, I will... Want... Married......"

"Oh," Ruolan didn't have the surprise he expected, but said a little worriedly: "Sister Shiyun and Sister Yunshang know?" ”

"You're not surprised?" Qin Lei said strangely.

"Your marriage to Princess Yingyu has long been made public," Ruolan said softly, "It's just a matter of time or time." ”

"I'll tell you another news," Qin Lei said in a deep voice, "Three days later, the cousin of the Shen family will marry Miss Li Jia." ”

Ruolan's complexion changed, and she was finally surprised: "How can it be so coincidental?" ”

"What is a coincidence?" Qin Lei squinted his eyes and said, "It's obvious that the emperor deliberately arranged it, and he just wanted to block me." ”

Ruolan pondered for a while, suddenly grabbed Qin Lei's arm, and said urgently: "Lord Wang, can you save Sister Shiyun...... The slave knows her character, although she looks soft and weak, but she is strong and tight in her bones. Now that you have identified the prince, you will definitely not be committed to others anymore......"

Qin Lei patted her hand and said with a wry smile: "I don't know, but what about Princess Raushzi?" ”

"You've got a solution." Ruolan was a little unreasonable and said: "Anyway, Sister Shiyun must not have anything to do, otherwise you ......" She felt a little presumptuous when she said it, but she still insisted on the mosquito chirping and said: "I will regret my ...... for the rest of my life"

Qin Lei didn't blame her in the slightest, and sighed: "What you said is not bad at all, but ......" said and stretched out his feet on the ground, Ruolan hurriedly put on light cloth shoes for him.

Pacing two steps on the ground with his hands in his hands, Qin Lei looked at a pool of blue waves fixedly, as if talking to himself: "But the emperor put a big hat 'related to the alliance between the two countries' on my marriage, if I kick Princess Nalaoshzi back to Chu according to my own will, it will only be for personal gain and disregard for the country's righteousness." Even if I ignore the world's people, I can't convince my conscience. As he spoke, he slammed his fist on the flower stand, and the red rose petals fell like a drizzle, which was very beautiful.

"He's hanging me on a shelf and roasting me!" Qin Lei frowned tightly and said, "What should I do?"

As soon as she heard what the prince said about the 'great righteousness of the country', Ruolan didn't dare to say anything, although in her eyes, these ethereal things were far from being compared with the living people around her.

This was Qin Lei's first long exam in his life, and even in the face of the emperor's persecution, he did not hesitate too much. But this time, he was really undecided.

This is indeed a big problem......

On the surface, it seems that it is a choice between love and beauty. But in essence, it is the contradiction between Qin Lei's previous life and this life. Needless to say, after living in this world for several years, he has completely integrated into it, his thinking and ideology have undergone earth-shaking changes, and he can sacrifice many things and give up many things for the sake of power and fame.

But he is different after all, and he can't see a position of power as evidence and support for his personal existence like Emperor Zhaowu, Taiwei Li, or even Prime Minister Wen.

In fact, they are no longer considered human beings, because family affection, love, friendship and other human feelings are rarely reflected in them, and their joys, sorrows and sorrows are all controlled by power...... They have become pure 'power animals'.

Although Qin Lei is also keen on power struggle, he has never forgotten that he is a human being, and as for titles such as 'prince', 'commander', and 'politician', they are just his profession. Although this lifelong career is glamorous and will bring him supreme power and glory, it is only a part of life.

As the saying goes, 'there are tens of thousands of spacious buildings, and it is only three feet wide to sleep; There is no light in the world, and in the end it is like lying in the soil', excessive pursuit of things outside the body, but neglecting or even giving up their family, lovers, friends, even standing at the pinnacle of the world, but finding that they have become a lonely person, and even the happiness of success has no one to tell, what is the point of this?

Qin Lei had to admit that although he wrote "The Story of Yueyang Tower", he would never be able to do Wen Zhenggong's 'not to be happy with things, not to be sad about himself', 'to worry about the worries of the world first, and to be happy with the joy of the world after the world', his creed is actually 'If I am not happy, even if the whole world is happy, it will be in vain." But if he can't be happy all day, he can't be happy. ’

So he will not sacrifice his own happiness to please others, but he will also not sacrifice the happiness of the world for his own happiness.

That's where his contradiction lies...... He was unwilling to give up Shiyun, in addition to fighting with Emperor Zhaowu and cherishing other girls, more importantly, he knew that his happiness was to marry this girl.

You can say he's selfish, but there's no way to deny that he's real. He is like 'you, me, and him', with his own little calculations, but he can't ignore the feelings of others. So he can't sacrifice too many people for his own happiness...... If it was really because of him that the Chu State betrayed the alliance and sided with the Qi State, and finally led to the Qin State fighting on two fronts, even if he married Shiyun, how could he be embarrassed?

In our opinion, his thoughts are very ordinary, but in the land of Shenzhou thousands of years ago, he was so different and so lonely......

His subordinates almost one-sidedly advised him to give up his relationship with Miss Li's family and honestly go to Princess Shang, as long as he became the son-in-law of Chu State, the relationship between the two countries would inevitably be greatly eased, after all, Chu State's enterprising spirit ...... Oh, I'm sorry, the state of Chu is not aggressive.

There are too many benefits to be brought by this, and I can name two at random: for example, Emperor Zhaowu will have to eliminate Qin Lei's thoughts and ease relations with him instead; For example, with the improvement of relations between the two countries, trade between the south and southern Chu will inevitably prosper. For the south, which has an increasingly strong production capacity, the rich Chu State is undoubtedly the best sales market.

There are many such benefits, so almost everyone supports his marriage to the princess of Chu. Even Mr. Le Buyi, the 'peerless infatuated man', did not support him messing around.

This is why Qin Lei hid and disappeared from anyone. Annoying! It's so annoying!

That night, he didn't fall asleep, so he had to get up in the middle of the night to look at the stars.

Ruolan was awakened, but he held him down, and said softly: "I want to go by myself." Ruolan had no choice but to lie down obediently, looking at the prince with worried eyes and walking out of his clothes.

The crescent moon sprinkled a thin layer of frost to sweep away the heat of the day. The frogs in the pond took over the shift. The lotus leaves in the lotus pond are swaying, and the dark fragrance floats under the flower stand.

Qin Lei slowly walked to the edge of the pond and sat down on a stone bar. After two days of entanglement, he has figured out that things can't be perfect, so he can only make a trade-off!

Lying on his back on the stone bar, looking at the starry sky, there is no pollution in this era, and the stars in the sky are as dense as sesame seeds on a baked cake.

Qin Lei suddenly realized that he had never carefully observed this brilliant starry sky, even though it was a wish of his previous life.

As an excellent special forces, he can easily distinguish most of the constellations in the sky, such as the North Dipper North Pole and the like.

Before he knew it, he was immersed in the beautiful starry sky, and said to himself, "That's Aquila, that's the Lyre Constellation." ”

As he spoke, he suddenly muttered: "This is the name of foreigners, what is our Huaxia name?" ”

It took a long time before he suddenly said: "The night of the heavenly steps is as cold as water, lying down and watching the Cowherd and Vega." At that moment, Qin Lei made his own decision.

"The silver candle autumn light is cold, and the small fan flutters fireflies. The night of Tianjie is as cold as water, sit and watch the morning glory Vega......" He was just about to get up and go back to the house, but he heard a faint female voice in the corner of the wall: "It's sitting and watching, not lying down, you said ...... wrong"

Qin Lei couldn't help but stand on end, and said in a low voice: "Who is it!" ”
