Liang Fengmian's eyelids drooped, and he whispered, "Your Majesty." Although Prince Yang is not as good as the prince Qin in person, he is of good character, filial piety, loyal and calm, and has not made any big mistakes as a prince for many years. Although the prince Qin is impatient, he has outstanding ability, and has done a lot of things for the imperial court over the years, and he is a capable person who shares the emperor's worries. ”

Qi Bingyu raised his eyes and looked at Liang Fengmian, and said, "According to what Aiqing saw, who can sit firmly in the world with these two people?" ”

"Minister, panic." Liang Fengmian quickly knelt down when he heard this.

Qi Bingyu's eye bags were so old that they drooped down, but his eyes were very sharp, and he looked at Liang Fengmian kneeling beside him, staring at him all the time, as if he was thinking about something.

Then he laughed twice and said: "Since I ascended the throne, you and Lu Gaohong have followed me to guard the world together. Now, your daughter Liang Huanqing is Princess Jing... I thought there would be no one around me to use. ”

Qi Bingyu knew very well in his heart that since he fainted in the Jinluan Palace last time, he had just recovered from a serious illness, and the situation of the court had turned upside down overnight, and the courtiers had made bets on the two princes, betting on who would become the lord of the world after his death.

When Concubine Mei Xia Rongxin asked Qi Jingqin to marry Huanqing, the daughter of the Liang Mansion, he wanted to see who could be more outstanding when the two sons were evenly matched.

thought that after the marriage between the palace and the general's mansion, Liang Fengmian would take more care of Qi Jingqin in the court for Liang Huanqing's sake, but who knew that when Qi Jingqin proposed the separation of military powers, Liang Fengmian was the first to take the lead in opposing it.

"Your Majesty." Liang Fengmian knelt down and said bitterly, "The little girl Huanqing is now the princess of Jing, and if she is reasonable, she will help the Jingwang Mansion a little more, but the emperor, the minister first obeys the monarch as the minister, and then takes care of the father as the son." This is a matter related to the great plan of the world, and the ministers dare not grow up with their children. ”

Qi Bingyu quietly looked at Liang Fengmian who was kneeling on the ground, the side hall of the Qinzheng Palace, he had slept in the dormitory for more than forty years, there were only two people in the empty dormitory, the hot summer wind blew in from the slightly hidden window, the candlelight was swaying, and he only heard the sound of chirping outside the window, as if it had been a hundred years.

"I believe in you." Qi Bingyu said.

Liang Fengmian looked up at him, with a slight surprise in his eyes: "Your Majesty..."

"I say, I believe you." Qi Bingyu put his hand on Liang Fengmian's arched fist, and the three equally old and rough hands overlapped each other.

Liang Fengmian's cloudy and yellowish eyes contained tears, the ancients often said that the most ruthless emperor is the family, but when the suspicious monarch now bluntly believes in a person, it is incomparably glorious.

"I have sat on this throne for more than forty years. Now they all think that I am old and can't see clearly, but I can see clearly and clearly. Qi Bingyu leaned on the pillow, looked at the delicate and expensive carvings on the top of the palace, and smiled, "Only the wind sleeps, and the original intention is waiting for me." ”

Liang Fengmian suddenly didn't know what to say.

Liang Fengmian didn't remember how he walked out of the Qinzheng Palace, and when Gonggong He saw that the general came out, he looked like he was out of his mind, so he stepped forward and asked, "General, has the emperor fallen asleep?" ”

Liang Fengmian came back to his senses at this time: "Father-in-law He, the emperor is tired, don't disturb him, just wait outside." ”

"Hey." He Gonggong blessed his body and agreed.

"General, the servant sent someone to send you out of the palace, right?" Gonggong He looked at Liang Fengmian with a dejected look, and was a little curious about what they had just said, but out of humanitarianism, he stepped forward and asked.

"No... No. Liang Fengmian waved his hand, his expression was a little dull, and his eyes flashed with tears, "The official can go out by himself." ”

"The general walked slowly." Gonggong He looked at Liang Fengmian worriedly, but Liang Fengmian insisted on leaving the palace by himself, so he gave it away.

The Qinzheng Palace is located in the middle of the imperial city, the six palaces are distributed with the five elements of the eight trigrams, and the empty field is inlaid with white jade to the gossip array, taking the meaning of the lord of the world.

Walk from the Qinzheng Palace to the palace gate, and then cross the Dragon Bridge, a total of 9,367 steps.

Liang Fengmian has been in Beijing for more than ten years and has walked countless times.

I still remember that when the two were young, they used to talk about wine and life.

Qi Bingyu listened to Liang Fengmian talk about the original garrison in the border area, heard him talk about going into battle to kill the enemy, and discussed state affairs together, even when the little princess Wangshu was born, it was also the name that the two of them thought of together.

Liang Fengmian won the sacred heart, and now he is the person that Qi Bingyu still believes in in the court.

The dim light of the sunset shone on Liang Fengmian's body, and in the empty field in front of the Qinzheng Palace, his shadow was pulled by the elder.

Liang Fengmian stopped in the gossip array, turned around to face the sunset, the dim light shone on his vicissitudes of life, and the ditches and ravines on his face were full of wind and sand precipitated by the years.

"Your Majesty..."Liang Fengmian sighed lightly: "Old minister, I have failed you..."

At the beginning, Liang Fengmian did not participate in the battle between the prince and devoted himself to doing things for the emperor, but the balance in his heart was still biased towards Qi Jingqin, compared to the good-for-nothing prince Qi Jingyang, Qi Jingqin simply didn't know how good it was.

Now that the only daughter Huanqing married into the palace and became Princess Jing, she should help him a little more for the sake of his deceased wife and beloved daughter.

It's just that this betrays the emperor's trust...

The sun was setting little by little, and Liang Fengmian walked the nine thousand three hundred and sixty-seven steps step by step.

It's night, and it's coming.

Early in the morning of the second day, Liang Huanqing was excited all night, washed up early, and walked to the general's mansion with Qi Jingqin in the carriage of the palace.

"Miss, be careful." Yuebai smiled and helped Liang Huanqing get out of the carriage.

Liang Bo was waiting at the gate of the General's Mansion early, waiting for the arrival of the prince's frame.

"It's still called Miss! It's time for the princess! Liang Bo greeted him with a smile and helped Liang Huanqing's other hand get out of the carriage.

Liang Huanqing smiled and jumped out of the carriage with their hands.

Qi Qi looked at their happy and smiling faces, and laughed along.

Qi Jingqin lifted the curtain of the carriage and jumped out of the carriage, he frowned slightly, thinking that the hot weather made him feel a little unhappy.

Seeing Qi Jingqin get out of the carriage, Liang Bo smiled and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "The old slave greets the prince, the boat and car are tired, the prince has worked hard, the old slave has prepared sweet soup in the flower hall, and asked the prince to move to the flower hall to escape the heat." ”

Liang Huanqing turned to look at Qi Jingqin sideways, her eyes sparkling and cute.

Qi Jingqin looked at her yearning look, and his face gradually soothed: "It's okay." ”

Uncle Liang nodded, greeted them in with a smile, and then instructed the little man behind him: "Hurry up and go to the study to invite the master and the young master, and say that the prince and the eldest lady are back." ”

"Hey!" The little guy also ran in happily.

Qi Jingqin and Liang Huanqing glanced at each other, and then took the initiative to take her hand: "Let's go." ”

When they arrived at the flower hall, Liang Bo beckoned them to drink a few bowls of sweet soup, and Liang Fengmian and Liang Liang were late.

"The ministers see the prince, the princess." As soon as Liang Fengmian and Liang Xiao entered the flower hall, they bowed their hands and said solemnly.

Qi Jingqin hurriedly stood up from his position, strode forward and took a few steps, and helped them up with his own hands: "The general doesn't have to be polite. It's all family. ”

Liang Huanqing also hurriedly put down the bowl and spoon, and ran to Liang Fengmian's side with a smile: "Daddy." ”

"This king used to inspect the state capital as usual, and he was not in Beijing for more than ten days, and he wanted to come to Huanqing to be bored and homesick in the mansion, but now that he is free, he took Huanqing to visit the general." After the two of them sat down, Qi Jingqin spoke.

"The prince is polite. Huanqing is young and ignorant, ignorant, and a new wife, if there is something wrong in the palace, please forgive me. Liang Fengmian said sincerely, what he is most worried about now is Liang Huanqing, who is already married.
