【

Dian, Yangon, under the Shwedagon Pagoda, the crown prince Liu Ping and the princess Zhu Xin are respectfully saluting the gorgeous holy pagoda.

"Your Highness, it's time to move."

Hearing the whispered reminder in the ear of the black suit attendant, Liu Ping nodded, took the slender hand of the concubine wrapped in embroidered silver and white silk gloves, and walked towards the temple gate.

In Yangon in July, the sun was scorching and stinging, and the attendants held up a lace-lace white dome umbrella for the two highnesses, but Liu Ping waved his hand to let the attendants remove the shadow covering their heads.

Shade...... What kind of shadow have you been living in?

The father, the mother, and the imperial sister are like ubiquitous mountains, and the black clouds that follow them obscure the path of light to the imaginary realm of freedom.

What is freedom?

Is flying a plane into the sky considered freedom?

The plane must also have a purpose, but also a home, the plane that has run out of gasoline is just a pile of scrap iron and rotten wood, so it seems that freedom may be just their own boring and boring moaning without disease.

got the woman you wanted, sat in a position you didn't want to sit in, where should you go in the future?

The Buddha doesn't know the way, Liu Ping wants to know the way.

Getting into the special white Wang Long bulletproof car, Liu Ping looked sideways at the Shwedagon Pagoda that was gradually moving away outside the window, and subconsciously sighed.

Zhu Xin took Liu Ping's arm and whispered in his ear: "What is the husband worried about?" ”

"Nothing." Liu Ping deliberately turned his gaze away, and it seemed that there were no three hundred taels of silver here.

"Want to go back to the palace?"

Seeing that Liu Ping didn't answer, Zhu Xin sat up straight, slowly took off her gloves, took out a plain from the embroidered gold Xiaokun bag she carried, and wiped the sweat beads on her forehead.

"I want to go back to the palace. It's like a big steamer, and I really don't know how the people here live. ”

Liu Ping snorted from his nose, took off the continental boat-shaped feathered top hat on his head, put it on his lap, lowered his head and said, "What's wrong with the hot spot?" How many people shed blood and died on the front line, but I wandered around here with nothing to do, what the hell did I go to the military school for? My father didn't give me a chance, and the emperor didn't give me a chance, I'm an idler now, and I have nothing to do as an idler who eats white food. ”

Let's talk about it. He also pounded his knee emphatically, almost gritting his teeth.

"What's wrong with idlers? You are the crown prince, the future emperor, do you still want to personally lead the troops to the front line? When Zhu Xin said this, she was still sitting upright with half anger.

Liu Ping pressed his knees and said sharply: "The crown prince is in person, what's wrong?" Didn't the German Crown Prince Wilhelm personally lead an army group and go to the front? ”

"Germany is Germany, China is China. When you came to the front line this time, the Queen Mother didn't know how nervous she was. If you want to go to war, the queen mother won't fight with the emperor anymore? ”

Liu Ping turned aside unhappily: "Don't mention anything to me about the Queen Mother, I'm almost annoyed by her, haven't you been verbosed to death by her in the past few months?" I just thought, this time out, I can mix one more day, otherwise, we won't go back, I sent a telegram to the emperor, begging her to give me an errand. Just don't let me go back to the palace to find depression. ”

Zhu Xin bit her lip, her cheeks were slightly red, she seemed to be angry but not angry, and she stopped talking. After holding it for a while, he called lukewarmly: "Husband......"

Liu Ping suddenly turned around and held her shoulders: "What's the matter?" Don't go back, it's hot here. We can go somewhere else, go to Japan, go to Hokkaido to escape the summer, or go to the Xing'an Mountains to hunt, Heilongjiang to fish, anyway, it is better to go anywhere than to go back to the palace. ”

"Your Highness, I ......"

changed the name, and swallowed and vomited, there must be a hidden secret.

Liu Ping withdrew his hand in disappointment: "What? You don't want to come with me? Then you go back to the palace by yourself, I also read Baoding Lu Yuan seriously, how can I make a vase for the rest of my life? ”

"Okay, I'll go back to the palace by myself." Zhu Xin shrunk her shoulders, grabbed the edge of her skirt with both hands, and her eyes were full of tears that Liu Ping couldn't see.

Next, the two were speechless all the way, and Wang Long's car, escorted by two black Wang Hu cars in the front and rear, drove past one large and small pagoda after another, and stopped in front of a tall and solid three-story western-style building.

In front of the western-style building, there was a man with a high nose and glasses with a four-star rank of army general, in his fifties, not tall, a little weak at first glance, but his eyes behind the lenses were calm and steady, which was awe-inspiring.

Seeing the crown prince and his wife get out of the car, the man with glasses was unhurried, and steadily led the entourage to take over, approaching four or five meters away, bending down forty-five degrees together, and bowing to the crown prince: "Deng Jian, the army general and Wuling Marquis, led all the members of the front army headquarters to greet the crown prince and princess......

Liu Ping hurriedly strode forward to help: "Commander Deng doesn't have to be polite...... I'm sorry to bother you, hurry up. ”

Deng Jian got up like a ceremony, and turned around to introduce a lady in a dress around forty years old: "This is an insider-come and meet the crown prince, His Royal Highness the princess." ”

After a little greeting, Mrs. Deng led the concubine to the back garden through the side door to relax, Deng Jian and the others surrounded Liu Pingjing into the main hall, and the riding boots all pedaled up the spiral stairs to the second floor, and entered a conference room with four walls covered with maps, and sat down according to the level, and then Deng Jian announced: "General Yuan Shikai, commander of the 12th Regiment Army, and General Ou Zhixing, commander of the 14th Group Army, please come to the front of His Highness."

The short and fat Yuan Shikai and the tall and thin Ou Zhixing stood up at the same time and walked straight to Liu Ping.

"I have long admired the names of the two generals." Liu Ping was obviously familiar with his role, so he stepped forward and shook hands with Yuan Ou warmly.

The two of them immediately made a letter of gratitude: "I am appreciated by His Highness, and I am terrified......"

The attendant brought the tray, the two medals on the plate were shiny and gorgeous, Liu Ping picked them up with his own hands, put them on his chest for the two of them, and read: "Sincerely follow the emperor's order, and award the second-class Blue Dragon Medal to Army General Yuan Shikai...... Awarded the Order of the Blue Dragon of the Third Class to Army General Ou Zhixing ......"

After the award, the emperor encouraged, shook hands, everyone applauded, and the procedure was completed, but Liu Ping felt empty in his heart.

Unfulfilled mechanical rituals – where is the passion? Where is the blood? These old men, what's the matter with me? Where is my plane? Where is my sky? Why am I doing this kind of thing? I'm not an ornament! Not a vase! You, anyone, can't experience anything for the sake of the Lun?

"Next, announce the 28th order of the base camp Tianzi."

Hearing Deng Jian mention the base camp, Liu Ping raised his head sensitively and said suspiciously: "Commander Deng, don't you need me to avoid it?" ”

According to the regulations of this dynasty, the imperial family, including the crown prince, is not allowed to participate in military and political practice unless the emperor and the chief of the general staff and the prime minister jointly sign it.

"With the knowledge of the base camp, His Royal Highness's identity as a special lieutenant liaison officer of the base camp is in line with the regulations, and there is no need to avoid it."

Liu Ping only felt a shock in his heart, and something that was still blocked in his chest just now disappeared in an instant......
