Chapter 126: The Road Ahead

Looking at Pu Yangxu, who was still a little bit of an emperor as an emperor, King Cong sighed slightly, revealing a calm expression with a slight smile, and said something in his heart: "I also thought about some things when I came, but after all, I still want to live for myself, and Ah Chu." Ah Xu, in the future, I will work hard for you. ”

Pu Yangxu's expression froze and he stopped talking.

King Cong said: "Life is given by heaven, but life is lived by people." What kind of emperor you want to be is ultimately up to you. This world is your world, and you are also the emperor of the world. If you want to live a different way—"

Pu Yangxu's expression gradually became solemn, and he couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Myself—the way I want?" ”

"To be a good emperor, you have to be yourself." When King Cong said this, he had very few serious words, "Don't be like your grandfather, who is dominated by the desire for power and swallowed by this imperial city......"

The emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty counted them all as if they were enthroned and ruled the country, and in the middle of their reign, they began to indulge in willfulness...... In the late stage, there are very few people who can still govern and stay awake, and most of them are full of thoughts about 'eternal life' or 'attainment of bliss'.

King Cong looked at Pu Yangxu's expression and knew that he had recognized the meaning of what he said, "Ah Xu, everyone says that I am too much like your grandfather, but I won't be like him, do you understand?" ”

A person cannot decide his origin, but the road after tomorrow will make a person reborn.

Pu Yangxu couldn't hold back any longer, lowered his head, choked up, and only nodded.

"I can't do it, but you can!" King Cong finally patted the young emperor who lowered his head but his back was straight, and his emotions were disclosed for a while, and his voice was difficult to hide his low voice, "I'm leaving." ”

Pu Yangxu raised his head suddenly, clenched his fists, and released them restrainedly. It is not said that he will see each other indefinitely when he leaves, but that King Cong is unwilling to return to Beijing, and he cannot easily return to Beijing, for the sake of social stability, it is best for him to stay in the north forever, away from the center of power disputes.

There are many things that can't be said to others, for example, when Pu Yangxu heard the news of Emperor Kang'an's death, he was also stunned for a moment and uncomfortable in hindsight, but the love in the blood has been thinned out for so many years, and it can't compare to Emperor Renwu, who has loved and cared for him since he was a child, and at this moment, he can completely open his mouth and transfer King Cong away from Beifeng City as a new monarch......

Pu Yangxu struggled between his eyebrows, and he wanted to speak several times, but after weighing the pros and cons, he didn't have it after all.

In order to reassure each other's hearts, King Cong said such a warning and heart-to-heart words.

Before leaving, I remembered to say one thing, "I took someone away, the Queen Mother and Shu Tai, you can help me carry it." ”

"......" Pu Yangxu was still in the mood, and he didn't react that anyone was taken away by King Cong, and he would need to be in the Queen Mother and Shu Tai.

And when Shu Tai lost his soul and asked to see him, King Cong had already left Beijing with someone, and Pu Yangxu remembered that it was the medicine in the palace who was skilled in medicine.

Yan Xi Tang.

In the 100 days of filial piety, meat can't be touched, not to mention entertainment, that is, the emperor himself laughs if he wants to, he is the son of heaven to keep filial piety to the sun and the moon, and the 27th can be removed, but everyone else tries to speak without showing their teeth, and they also abide by the rules.

Shen Tingnian was wearing plain clothes to teach literacy with sticks, this child is too well-behaved, what will be taught, and it is very rewarding to pass the time to teach the master for half a day, and then turned out a bunch of recipes that Chen Luo found, picked out a copy of "Idle Love", and felt that the food department was very interesting, and he was ready to try the stewed rice with his own hands according to the food list.

As soon as she heard that she was going to cook stewed rice, Yan Xitang's small kitchen was immediately more crowded than a meal. Compared with the emperor, who has already gone out early and returned late to participate in state affairs, her favorite concubine has made this group of chamberlains like a great enemy.

After tinkering for an afternoon, sprinkled roses and osmanthus dew when the rice was about to be cooked, and then mixed into a bowl, Shen Tingnian held the rice and planned to send it to the Qinzheng Palace, when he heard someone from outside come to report and saw the emperor's royal come.

Just these few feet away is not worth sitting on, but the weather is hot, the big man is already hot, and he sweats after walking two steps, Pu Yangxu has no trouble taking a bath by himself, but it is very troublesome to take a bath in Shen Tingnian, and he can't help but pull people in to wash together.

As soon as he came, Shen Tingnian had the spirit, not only to give him his stewed rice, but also to feed him personally.

"Niangniang, please reward the slave first."

The two of them were making a fuss, when they heard Fu Lu, who was with him, suddenly knelt down.

Shen Tingnian's hand holding the spoon froze, and Pu Yangxu, who was holding her, was also a little helpless.

Although when he was the crown prince, he also tasted it first, but it was not so strictly implemented in private, but now it is different, the first bite of anything cannot be eaten by the emperor himself.

"Hey—"

Shen Tingnian turned his hand and stuffed a spoonful of rice into his mouth, Pu Yangxu sighed and didn't stop it, watching her chew a few times and swallow it angrily.

"What are you doing on your knees, the food cooked by the palace itself is not something that anyone can eat."

Shen Tingnian, who was disturbed, was kneeling with a blank eye, the latter lowered his head firmly, and took a few steps back on his knees, "The slave deserves death-"

"Stand down." Pu Yangxu waved his hand, and the attendants exited the room in a funny way, and Fu Lu also wiped his cold sweat after coming out, and looked at the sympathetic eyes of his colleagues, he just calmly put his hands on it, and waited peacefully, and the sound of talking inside was very clear from the door that was not closed.

Shen Tingnian's voice is soft and delicate when she is coquettish, and listening to it in your ears will make people unconsciously want to please her-

Pu Yangxu had a moment of leisure at this time, and he decided to personally raise his little favorite concubine, "What do you want to eat for their subordinates to do, why do it yourself, if you burn and hurt......"

"I cook for you, and you still teach me?" Shen Tingnian's words were more choking than the rice balls fed in.

Pu Yangxu chewed on the 'wonderful' taste that was full of sour and sweet, tried to control his expression, and shook his head, "No-"

"Is it unpalatable?"

This time his head shook faster, and Pu Yangxu swallowed it and immediately opened his mouth, "I want to." ”

Shen Tingnian was instantly happy, dug up a big spoonful and fed him, and then he ate with his eyes shining, she chattered that if it weren't for the fact that she was going to eat with Bangbang these days, she would probably be thinner and thinner, and the things next to her could not be done in filial piety now, just look at the recipe and learn to make something to eat according to your own taste.

When Pu Yangxu heard this, she said a word to her heart, she wanted to cultivate her body.

With a little more joy in his heart, he asked her: "Every year, can I make you the queen?" ”

Unexpectedly, Shen Tingnian shook his head without thinking.

"Let's set up the Zhao clan."

Pu Yangxu was shocked, "Do you know what it means to be a queen?" You-"

"I don't care about that." Shen Tingnian knew what he was going to say, wouldn't the honor of the mother of a country be extraordinary? The Shen family will be full of glory because of her, and the descendants of the Shen family will enjoy shade. Even her own name will become a stroke that can be read in the history books.

"You don't care?" Pu Yangxu's brows twisted unconsciously.

He instantly remembered King Cong's conversation with him.

If King Cong doesn't want the throne at all, he can't even convince himself, but aside from the reason he said with Pu Yangxu, he is more reluctant to Wei Chuyun than the throne, her temperament and body can't survive in the palace.

This is King Cong, who loves the country and loves the beauty more.

"What the hell is going on in your mind?"

What Shen Tingnian was thinking in her heart, in fact, only she could understand.

After Lixian, she is not unable to be the person who is the mother of the world, but she is unwilling.

Shen Tingnian put the bowl down, got off Pu Yangxu's lap, took a step back, and looked at Pu Yangxu.

"Your Majesty, I can have a big heart, big enough to be a queen, but I don't want to."

"That day, I sat with you on the royal palace and walked around most of the palace, and I thought, this place is too big, and there are too many people......"

One thing they have in common with King Cong is that they are too transparent, this imperial city, some people are forced to come in, bent on getting out; Some people come in willingly, bent on flashiness; Some people come in and can go out, thinking about making money, she is different, she wants to live.

As a person who lives by himself, a person with a small heart.

Shen Tingnian knelt at his feet slowly as he spoke, hugging his legs, "You are the Son of Heaven, and your heart is very big, but I am a selfish person, and I have a choice, so I don't want to." ”

"You don't want to be side by side with me, you don't want to live with me, die with me!" Pu Yangxu grabbed her hand and forced her eyes.

Pu Yangxu actually understood everything, and he finally understood.

The Queen Mother asked him to hand over Shen Tingnian put the 'Heart Nourishing Pill' in the box, no wonder she would say that she had no objection to Shen Tingnian, because she knew that Shen Tingnian regarded himself as more important than everything.

Including him.

The fluctuations in Pu Yangxu's heart were not exposed, but in this gnashing of teeth, Shen Tingnian still felt his loss and anger very keenly.

"I-" Shen Tingnian's heart hurt like a pinprick, she clenched their interlocking hands, and hot tears fell to the ground, "I'm such a person, when I was a child, I knew that crying would make people feel distressed, I would cry, and then I knew that crying was useless, I wouldn't cry, and now I know that it's useful, I'll cry again......"

When she was a child, when she cried, Shen's father, who loved her the most, would rely on her for everything, and then Shen's father died of illness suddenly, and she was sent to the clan to raise, no one would listen to her cry, and it was even worse when she was brought to the capital......

Now she knows that Pu Yangxu loves her, and a little tear will hurt her.

Shen Tingnian's pear blossom with rain is also a good-looking kind of crying, pursing his mouth, his nose will move, and when he sobs, the tears are rolling one by one.

Sure enough, looking at her like this, Pu Yangxu had nothing to do. She knew that at this time everything was pale, she didn't love him, she just loved soberly.
