Chapter 186: Horseback riding

Hanyangyi was built in a long plain, with only flat and hard land within a radius of more than ten miles, and there were no high walls and deep courtyards to match, so this small Hanyangyi became the tallest and magnificent building in this area.

Standing under the eaves of the east corner tower, the eye can see far away, as far as the eye can see, there is only a plain of light blue, the grass is not much, but the vitality is extremely tenacious.

Hanyang Station in the twilight is like a lonely city, bathed in the red sunset, warm and tender. After looking at it for a long time, I even felt that my heart melted into a pool of warm spring water.

"Outside the post by the broken bridge, lonely and ownerless. It was already dusk and I was alone, and it was even more windy and rainy. ”

She stood alone in the breeze for a moment when she heard someone whispering. Turning around, he saw that Nan Yinglin had changed out of his dragon robe and was wearing a light brown homely dress. When he saw her turn around, he smiled slightly: "What, are you also here to watch the sunset?" ”

He slowly walked up to her, untied a cloak he was wearing and tied it to her: "It's windy here, why don't you wear more?" ”

Shen Yunzhen took two steps back and said, "I'll come by myself." ”

He didn't fight, and looked at the beautiful red makeup in the sky.

"I remember when I was a child, my father brought me here." He glanced at her: "But that time there was a strong wind, and the yellow sand blowing all over the sky made people unable to open their eyes. ”

She glanced at him, "Really?" ”

Nan Yinglin smiled at her: "Yes, you were young at that time, so you must not remember." ”

She remembers, how does she not remember?

A flood of yellow sand opened from all directions, and the royal driver was trapped in this Hanyang post for three days. She lived with her father, huddled under the quilt, and outside the house was the whistling sound of yellow sand, like hundreds of thousands of wolves howling in unison, and she covered her ears tightly, for fear that a pack of wolves would break into the room in the next second.

After two days of this wind, she also got used to the whirring wind outside the house, and her father wanted to read medical books, but he did not play with her, and she could not go out by herself. He was very bored, and suddenly heard a quick knock on the door, and his father was quite surprised, and it was not a meal, who would come to him in such bad weather.

The door was divided to the left and right, and there was a young man in a cloak standing outside the house. His father took him in the room and shut the door.

He stood in the middle of the room with a disgraced face, like a little dirt bun.

She looked at his dirty appearance and laughed out loud.

The father was extremely panicked: "His Royal Highness King Jing? How did you get here? What about your eunuchs and grandmothers? ”

Those people were dumped by him to Java a long time ago.

He smiled at her and said, "I think you're bored and come to play with you." ”

He took out a cloth bag from his sleeve, and there was a lot of glass beads, leaf cards, wood carving figurines, and other things.

"What do you think?" Nan Yinglin asked her suddenly.

Shen Yun really came back to his senses and shook his head indifferently: "No, it's nothing." ”

He looked at her abruptly, and although she was in front of her, her heart flew out of the clouds.

Shen Yun really saw that he was a little lonely, so he smiled and said, "Why didn't Changxinhou's car come?" ”

He touched his chin and said casually, "I let him go back." ”

"Why?" She looked at her.

"No, nothing." He waved his hand, hiding his embarrassed expression.

She stood with him for a while in the East Corner Tower until the sunset faded. When the moon was misty, Zhi Qifu personally brought someone to light the lantern, and he remembered the hour, it turned out that he had talked with her for so long.

"It's time for me to go back." She turned to leave.

"Ah, wait." He caught up and gently grabbed her wrist: "Yun Zhen, you stay with me for a while." ”

Shen Yunzhen smiled: "You have already talked about the things when you were a child, what else do you want to tell me?" ”

Nan Yinglin was a little embarrassed, he realized that he had said too much today, and his mouth was dry at this time.

"Just for a while, and then walk with me." He said.

"Don't you have to deal with the folds today?" She asked.

Twists and turns? Starting from Luan's drive, the palace had to send a small box of the day's recitals every day, and the ministers dealt with it according to their priorities, and the remaining major matters that could not be mastered were sent to Luan to show the emperor.

"There's no hurry." He gently brushed away a fluff stained on her sideburns.

Shen Yunzhen smiled: "If you're not in a hurry, why don't we two go horseback riding?" ”

He was stunned: "Horseback riding? Let's go horseback riding in the big night? ”

She looked at him with a smile: "What? Don't you dare to go? ”

Just go, what's there to be afraid of?

She didn't let him alarm others, but secretly went to the backyard stable and led two yellow horses out.

The night was like a curtain, the two only carried two glass hydrangea lamps, and Shen Yunzhen pulled the reins steadily and inserted the lamp pole obliquely on the saddle. Asakusa will pass the horse's hooves, and the hooves will hit the ground with a knocking sound.

The night is very quiet, only the brass bells that shake from time to time.

Nan Yinglin pulled her horse with one hand and grabbed her reins with the other.

"I remember you didn't know how to ride a horse before." He looked at her, "Tell me, when did you learn it?" ”

"I don't either." She said lightly.

Nan Yinglin frowned: "You don't know how to ride a horse?" ”

He was a little surprised, he knew that she didn't know how to equestrian, and he wouldn't agree to accompany her out for a walk.

"What's wrong? Can't you learn if you don't know how to ride a horse? Unless you don't want to teach me. She blinked at Nan Yinglin.

He smiled: "Yes, of course you can, I didn't say I wouldn't teach you." ”

He really patiently instructed him, what legs clamped the horse's belly hard, stepped on the pedals, pulled the reins, leaned forward slightly, and so on.

"I think it's much more fun here than the Ann Parallel Palace." She said casually.

"If you like, we'll still live here tomorrow." He said.

"Okay, then we'll come here tomorrow to ride horses."

Nan Yinglin played with her until midnight, and it was not until Wen Yuan and the eunuch guards held lanterns all over the world to call the emperor that they turned their horses back. Back in the tube, he was so sleepy that he could barely open his eyes. The box was hastily flipped over as if there were not many of them. He was not in the mood to watch it, so he asked Wen Yuan to get hot water to wash and change clothes with him, and ordered the lights and candles to be extinguished.

The next day, when the sky was light, he suddenly heard a horse's hooves knocking in the courtyard, and the crisp brass bells poured like flowing water. He lost his sleepiness for a while, lifted the curtain and asked Wen Yuan, "Who is outside?" ”

Wen Yuan said: "It was Concubine Chen who took Princess Yangxiu to ride a horse in the courtyard. ”

He turned over and got out of the house, quickly changed into shoes and socks and walked out, Wen Yuan hurriedly chased him out and sent Dayu with him.

Nan Yinglin opened the door and saw that in the courtyard on the first floor, a woman in red was straddled on an ink-colored horse, and her black hair was braided into a long braid and thrown behind her head. Strings of pearls the size of cherry pits are woven into the hair, looming in the hair.

In her arms sat a small man, nervous, like a thin little monkey, clinging to her belt.

He stared at her blankly, almost distracted.

She suddenly looked up, and when she saw that he was looking at her, she smiled brightly.

"Come down!" She yelled at him.

A smile gradually spread, and he nodded: "Wait, come right away." ”

He turned his head back to the room to change his clothes, and Wen Yuan stepped forward: "Your Majesty, I haven't seen yesterday's recital yet." ”

Nan Yinglin was a little irritable: "Put it on, I'll come back later." ”

Wen Yuan couldn't stop him, so he had to send troops and guards to follow the two of them from afar.

Shen Yunzhen called Wu Bei, and with a smile, he stuffed Princess Yangxiu into his arms, pulled the horse and ran away, Nan Yinglin laughed loudly, and said to Wu Bei: "You guys take Yangxiu back and hand it over to Concubine Su De, if you bump it, I only ask." ”

Wu Bei was stunned, Nan Yinglin had already turned his horse and ran a long way.

He didn't come back until the third watch in the middle of the night, and today the palace sent another box of folds, which was almost three times more than yesterday's. Nan Yinglin frowned and scolded: "Changxin Hou is becoming more and more uncalculating now, do you have to worry about these trivial matters?" ”

Wen Yuan had a bitter face: "Your Majesty, there will be another box tomorrow." Today, Changxin Hou sent someone to urge, asking if there was a royal pen Zhu Zhu approval sent on the day of leaving Beijing. ”

Nan Yinglin leaned on the back of the chair, closed his eyes and said, "I'm tired, you can read it to me." ”

Wen Yuan was also helpless, so he had to read it for him one by one, mostly asking the court to allocate food and salary from the front line. Nan Yinglin was a little annoyed, the 200,000 army was trapped in the northern cold, and there was not even a head-to-head confrontation. There is no result, but the court food and salary will be spent in vain.

"Dial, dial! Give them all! He said indignantly.

"Your Majesty, how much should I dial?" Wen Yuan looked at him timidly.

"Give them a million taels first." Nan Yinglin closed his eyes and said: "As for the grain, it will be requisitioned from the official warehouses of various state capitals and supplied to the front line." ”

Wen Yuan replied and picked up another one. This is a letter of exhortation accusing the new emperor of ignoring the government and indulging in pleasure. The tone and wording were a little intense, and Wen Yuan peeked at the emperor's expression as he read it.

He only felt that Nan Yinglin's face was getting more and more ugly, and in the end, it almost became a kind of gritted teeth, Wen Yuan shivered, and the cold sweat on his forehead couldn't stop flowing down.

"Your Majesty?" He joined the chorus and cried out cautiously.

"Okay, a little imperial historian dares to be so presumptuous!" He took the case and said: "Is there still a royal law in Daqi?" How can a little imperial history be so rampant! ”

Nan Yinglin frowned and walked around the room a few times: "What's his name?" ”

"Back to the emperor, my name is Xu Shan." Wen Yuan replied.

"Xu Shan?" He pondered for a while: "The surname is Xu? ”

Wen Yuan nodded: "Your Majesty, this Xu Yushi is an old minister in the period of the first emperor, and he is deeply appreciated by Nan Jingpei, so a group of imperial historians in the court respect him as the head." ”

His anger slowly rose, relying on the old and selling the old was hateful enough, but he even pulled out the name of that person! It turned out to be Nan Jingpei's henchman, no wonder he dared to point fingers so recklessly at his affairs.

Nan Yinglin raised his hand and pointed: "Passing the decree, Xu Shan's words are disrespectful, insulting the monarch, without the courtesy of no one and the ministers, he is ordered to exile his family, and his relatives within the nine clans are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination." ”
