In October, when the temperature was not too cold, Kun Xing wore a thin cloak and walked through the streets with a smile.

A few years ago, she would never have imagined that she would have walked alone on the streets. There was a lively sound in the surrounding shops, the street hawkers were like music, and all kinds of signboard flags were swaying in the wind, as if they were a pair of two-way hands she waved: come in and have a look, don't buy it, just look at it.

This is the life of the people in the market, sometimes a little hasty, sometimes a little tight, but full and plump, people's hearts bulge, except for that man, there is no other pretend.

Then Kun Xing saw the man.

Yu Guozhen stood under a tree, frowning slightly, since Kunxing first met Yu Guozhen, he frowned less, as if nothing could stump him, not at all like his father Chongzhen, wrinkled all day long. Kun Xing couldn't help but let out a "ah", this sound alarmed Yu Guozhen under the tree, Yu Guozhen looked over here, then recognized the girl, smiled and waved at her.

If this wave was made by someone else, Kun Xing would definitely think that this behavior was too frivolous, but if Yu Guozhen made it, then Kun Xing thought that it meant to be close. Although she wanted to leave with a salute, her feet were disobedient and hurriedly took her to Yu Guozhen's side.

Yu Guozhen's guards received his signal and did not stop the cloaked girl.

"You...... You're back, you're here? Kun Xing plucked up his courage and spoke to Yu Guozhen, but his eyes didn't dare to look at Yu Guozhen's eyes. Just hanging down and staring.

Yu Guozhen smiled: "I'm waiting for your father here, he said he wanted to come to see me." ”

"Ahh

Kun Xing covered his mouth, like a frightened deer, and began to run fast with his other hand pulling his skirt. She fled in such a hurry, ran for a while, and thought that she had not yet said goodbye to Yu Guozhen, and her heart was a little uneasy. If Yu Guozhen thinks that she is a girl who doesn't know how to be polite, how bad it would be!

On the one hand, the father has accumulated power for many years, and on the other hand, the thoughts of the daughter's family. Kun Xing only hesitated for half a second before making a choice.

Although the father is terrifying, he is not in front of him after all. The man was in front of him.

As soon as she turned around and trotted back, she blessed Yu Guozhen with a blessing - Yu Guozhen abolished the kneeling ceremony, but never abolished the woman's ten thousand blessings, seeing the girl Ying Ying low, Yu Guozhen was both appreciative and curious in his heart: "Why did you turn back again?" ”

"Ahh Kun Xing suddenly became embarrassed, and she said in a low voice: "I haven't been ...... Thank you for saving me...... Thank you, my father, I'm leaving. ”

After speaking. She turned and ran away again.

Looking at her graceful back and hurriedly disappearing on the other side of the street, Yu Guozhen smiled slightly.

Yicheng is also an emerging city, and the biggest advantage of emerging cities is that they do not have too heavy historical burdens. Therefore, Yicheng did a very good job in planning, even better than Xinxiang. Designed entirely by professionals, the streets are wide and straight, leaving room for future development, and the green strips on both sides and in the middle of the road are still leafy even in autumn. When Yu Guozhen made such a request. Many people think that it is a waste of money and manpower, but gradually, everyone also feels that living in this environment is indeed a kind of enjoyment.

When Kun Xing's figure disappeared from the other end of the street, Chongzhen's carriage happened to come from this end of the street. Chongzhen didn't know that Yu Guozhen was waiting on the street, or Wang Chengen, who was sitting outside the car, saw Yu Guozhen and said inside, and after Chongzhen heard it, he felt complicated emotions churning in his heart again.

At least on the surface, Yu Guozhen's courtesy to him was really impeccable, although he and Empress Zhou were asked to work and eat by themselves, but Chongzhen now took it for granted after the initial embarrassment: in this way, their current food, clothing, housing and transportation are all earned by their own hands, which greatly alleviates their feeling of being under the fence.

Even after the new victory and the big victory, Yu Guozhen still maintained his humility and was not arrogant, such a character, if he can't achieve great things, it would be strange.

"Stop the car and I'll walk over too." Chongzhen said: "You are waiting here, you don't have to follow." ”

"Emperor?" Wang Chengen was a little worried.

"Yu Guozhen has 10,000 ways to kill me, it's not that he can't kill me, it's not that he can't do it, he just disdains it. He doesn't want to betray the name of the king, I ...... I don't want to force him to take risks, don't worry. ”

With the arrival of the age of forty, Chongzhen now has a deeper understanding of many things than before. He himself is actually very smart, otherwise he would not be able to wipe out Wei Zhongxian in one fell swoop, but he has been in the bureau for a long time, and he can't see it thoroughly, that is, he can see it thoroughly, and he is also powerless: he can kill Wei Zhongxian, but he can't kill all the eunuchs, he can expel Qian Qianyi, but he can't drive away the Manchu Donglin Party.

got out of the car and walked towards Yu Guozhen, Yu Guozhen took two steps and gave a military salute, while Chongzhen returned a long bow.

This is Chongzhen's first return of the salute.

Seeing Chongzhen's action, Wang Chengen's hanging heart relaxed, which proved that Chongzhen was really convinced of Yu Guozhen in his heart, and he already regarded Yu Guozhen as an equal existence worthy of a great gift. With this understanding, it will be much easier for the two to communicate, at least they don't have to worry about Chongzhen saying anything irresponsible.

It's a pity that Wang Chengen guessed wrong, if he heard Chongzhen's first words, then he would be terrified.

"Now that the Jingshi has been recovered, shouldn't I go back?" Chongzhen didn't quarrel with Yu Guozhen, but asked directly.

Yu Guozhen laughed.

The two did not have any proposal, so they walked on the street together, Yu Guozhen's guards followed behind, and some of the pedestrians on the road recognized Yu Guozhen, so they saluted Yu Guozhen, and Yu Guozhen also nodded.

"How's Yicheng?" Yu Guozhen asked: "Your Majesty has lived in Yicheng in the past few years, and you are also familiar with the streets and alleys here, right?" ”

"I have been idle for the past two years, and I have indeed wandered around trying to see what has been hidden behind the glossy exterior." Chongzhen said calmly: "I wanted to see if there were any resentful people under your governance. ”

"Is there any?"

"There are naturally dissatisfied. At first, I thought it was you who ruled the government and made the people miserable, so that they hated you, but later, when I understood it deeply, I realized that the matter of Shengmi Endou Mi was real. ”

"Oh? Your Majesty, I'll hear it, but I don't pay attention to any of that. ”

"It means that you have abandoned the people and have not been saved. is clearly capable of saving their neighbors, but he is unwilling to reach out, and says that you have the strength to replace Daming since eleven years. But you sit back and watch the people suffer, and they only care about their own name, and those people die because of you. Etcetera. ”

"The person who said this must be a showman, maybe he is still a man." Yu Guozhen said with a smile.

Yan Yingyuan said the same. Chongzhen also smiled: "He said that only these people who don't understand the world and can't shoulder the shoulders of the world, but think they can guide the country and the passionate words, will say this kind of nonsense, and Yan Yingyuan also gave them a nickname." ”

Yan Yingyuan's mouth is indeed quite tricky, Yu Guozhen thought that the only person who could compare with him was Ye Wuya, and Tian Boguang was probably a little inferior, after all, Tian Boguang was just a love and a thorn. And Ye Wuya is indiscriminate killing.

That nickname certainly doesn't sound good.

Chongzhen didn't say that nickname anymore, he was the Son of Heaven, even if he looked like this now, he didn't want to say that filthy word out of his mouth.

"In this case, I have lived in Yicheng for a long time. When you go back to Beijing, can you still get used to it? ”

"Hah, that's right."

Chongzhen smiled reluctantly, in the villa in Yicheng, living in it is indeed more lively than in the cold palace, although there are many fewer eunuchs and palace maids in life. But Chongzhen felt that it was more convenient. For example, when you go to the toilet, you used to have to stuff two dates in your nose, but now you use the flushing toilet, and the water will automatically flush the squatting pit as soon as you press it, and there is not too much smell.

However, no matter how convenient life is, he still wants to return to Jingshi.

Chongzhen slowly turned around, facing Yu Guozhen, and raised his chin slightly: "I will never be the king of the dead country!" ”

"But Da Ming is indeed dead in your hands." Yu Guozhen responded unhurriedly: "It doesn't matter if you admit it or not, what matters is the facts." ”

"In other words, Da Ming died four years ago, why do you still use Chongzhen to remember the year?"

"Because it's convenient."

Indeed, just because of convenience, before the Huaxia Military Strategy Committee was reorganized into a formal Huaxia regime, Yu Guozhen would always use the Chongzhen era name. He has nothing to taboo, and he will not worry that Chongzhen, who now lives on Tamna Island, will be supported by the people because of his era name. Yu Guozhen never felt that the people's support would be deceived by slogans and propaganda, and the people of China were very real, and only the real benefits could make them truly convinced.

"Just because...... It's convenient. Chongzhen sighed.

Then, he took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Yu Guozhen.

Yu Guozhen picked up the piece of paper, hesitated slightly, and then opened it to read its contents.

It's a holy decree.

"Because of my inconsistency, and even sent by heaven, the country is becoming more and more embarrassed, and the prisoners are rampant. Now I want to entrust the military and political affairs of the Central Plains and Liangguang to Nanhaibo, in order to restore the ...... of China."

Chongzhen had been staring at Yu Guozhen's expression, hoping to see Huanxi, but he was disappointed, and Yu Guozhen folded the paper and gave it back to him.

"I don't need this." Yu Guozhen said with a smile: "Emperor Taizu didn't need the secret edict of the Great Song Dynasty at the beginning, and I don't need it either. ”

"You!"

"Your Majesty, I understand your feelings, but I don't think you need to be tempted anymore, whether it is you or Cihong, they will return to Jingshi, but not now, let alone as the son of the Great Tomorrow. If you re-enter the Forbidden City, you will only enter as tourists, not as its owners. ”

"You're its new owner?"

"No, neither am I, the Forbidden City will become a huge park, open to the people who work all over the world, and they can go and see what the life of the Son of Heaven and the place where government affairs were handled in the past."

"You...... You don't call the emperor? ”

Hearing this, Chongzhen was taken aback, even more so than Fang Cai.

"Even if I am the emperor, there will be no more Son of Heaven." Yu Guozhen said a sentence that Chongzhen didn't understand at this time.

"Then what will you do with the small court of Jinling?" Chongzhen thought about it for a while, but he didn't understand why he wouldn't have a son of heaven when he became the emperor, so he simply didn't want to, and he asked about Yu Guozhen's plans next.

"Well, when the matter of Jingshi is almost over, I will invite Jinling to send someone to Jinan Mansion to discuss the future issues. The news was soon available in the newspapers. Yu Guozhen sold a pass. (To be continued)
