Chapter 55: The Pope (2)
[I teach you to grow, you teach me to love.]
It's a pity that in the end, I couldn't grow up with you, and you didn't want to give me love anymore. ]
Miss Meng led the ghost to a silent and uninhabited wilderness, and the two stood on the riverbank, but no one was reflected on the river.
The ghost looked at the river and was stunned for a long time, and a tear slipped from the corner of his eye—
He remembered everything.
That year, the two countries of Qi and Xuan fought the last battle in the river, and this war that lasted for half a year finally ended in a great victory for the Qi State, but it also made the Qi State lose their brave and good fighting and heartfelt defense of the Zhenguo general. Of course, the same one who died was the son-in-law of the General's Mansion.
When the news came back to the Qi Kingdom, the general's wife became ill and soon went with the general, and the great general's mansion declined rapidly, leaving nothing but a fourteen-year-old girl.
"I ...... I actually saw her for the second time. The emperor, who had become a ghost, had a misty reverie in his eyes, but the tears in the corners of his eyes were overflowing with sadness.
It was the second time he had seen her, and with just one glance, he knew that he had planted it, and there was nothing he could do.
There is nothing to argue and question, many things in the world have no reason to talk about, in fact, in the final analysis, he is willing to sink.
At that time, Luo Changfeng was dressed in black and stood alone under the plaque of the General's Mansion, and the whole person seemed to be excluded from the crowd and fireworks.
And she doesn't care, and endures loneliness alone.
It was very different from his first impression of her.
"The first time I met her was when she was nine years old. At that time, the little girl was wearing a neat blue jacket and holding a special small wooden sword in her hand, and she was gesturing with her brother when she turned around and crashed into my arms. Qing Lingling's big eyes were full of mischievous and aura, and he didn't admit to scolding just by looking at it. He could even faintly see in her the innate qualifications and tenacity of the General's Mansion.
It was also when I remembered this first meeting that I inevitably remembered my later thoughts. ”
In that water-water battle, even if they win the Qi Kingdom, what can they do?
What's more, the decline of the Zhenguo General's Mansion brought far more consequences to him and the entire court than the loss of the military field and the army, and more seriously, the loss of control between the left and right factions in the court.
Without the Zhenguo General's Mansion, it would be impossible for him to find a suitable force to suppress the prime minister's line in a short period of time.
He has always been a person with a strong desire to control, and instead of waiting, it is better to personally cultivate another force to come out.
As an orphan of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, Luo Changfeng became one of his choices.
So he took Luo Changfeng to his side and began to raise her personally.
He taught her the layout and strategy, taught her the art of war, and also taught her the sophistication of the world, as well as the principles of living in the world, even more carefully than teaching his own children.
The heart is really attentive, and when you want to take it back one day, you will find that it is already difficult.
He already had a hazy feeling for her, and after five years of getting along day and night, that feeling naturally fermented into a deeper and longer relationship unconsciously.
At that time, he always remembered a very vulgar saying, and he didn't know what to do, and he went deep.
In fact, he can directly take people into the palace with one sentence, but it is just the distance from the monarch to the monarch.
But he was reluctant in the end.
Reluctant to break her wings, who were destined to fly high, and from then on she was imprisoned and shackled in the cold and oppressive harem, and even more reluctant to suppress her nature, so that a bright and free soul was forced to accept the sorrow of the harem woman.
So the emperor directly issued an order to crown Luo Changfeng as Princess Yuanjin, and he gave her unsurpassed glory and added a layer of restraint to himself.
They couldn't be anymore.
Many times the emperor was rejoicing, glad that Luo Changfeng met him at that time.
It was a gift from the years, it smoothed the edges and corners of his body, and also made him learn to restrain the cruelty and plunder in his heart, and it gave him the fulfillment of flexible gentleness and kindness, so as to give the two of them a peaceful future.
Miss Meng sighed, "You must feel very painful, right?"
The Emperor Ghost nodded, and he always felt unspeakable pain, both now and at that time.
He is a high emperor in the world, but in the end, he can't even say a word of love to his lover.
The two of them fell silent again.
There is no fairness in love, and falling in love with the person first means compromising and bowing your head first. The emperor fell in love with Luo Changfeng, so cruel but true is that he brought all this on himself.
"What happened later?" Miss Meng asked again, thinking that if this was just the case, it would not be enough for the emperor to jump off the Lethe River in frustration, and there must be some variables in the future.
"Later, ah......" The emperor's ghost raised his head and looked at the sky in the distance, his eyes were heavy and depressed, "I can barely hide my thoughts about loving her, but the heartfelt eyes when I love someone can't be concealed no matter what, but I didn't expect that the first person to see through my eyes was actually a harem woman." ”
The decline of the Zhenguo General's Mansion has been settled, and the prime minister's faction will inevitably dominate, and for a while, even the emperor has a vague feeling of being contained.
And the harem and the court have never been inseparable.
If it was in the past, when the General's Mansion was still there, the emperor held the imperial power firmly in his hands, and he didn't take the women of the harem to heart, but in the following years, it was not good.
Concubine Wen, the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, naturally became the woman who favored the harem.
The expression of the emperor's ghost was indescribably complex and obscure, "As the emperor, I have to compromise on some things. But this sentence sounds a little hypocritical......
I'm actually a person who separates love from lust, which is one of the reasons why I don't want to take her into the palace.
At that time, I was not enough to give her the only loyal love, and I didn't want to defile the only clean and immaculate pure land in my heart. ”
Miss Meng didn't speak, she was not an insider in this matter, and she had no position to express her opinion, but this did not mean that she had no feelings about it.
How can a man have sex with someone else when he loves him deeply? How can he separate love from lust so much, or can he think that the mental torture he has suffered is enough to cover up all the hurt?
The emperor's ghost suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly, after a lot of vicissitudes of time, he thought of those things that were deliberately pressed in his heart and did not see the light of day, and his heart was still dull and dull, and he couldn't say anything for a while.
After a long time, Miss Meng asked again: "And then, what happened?"
The emperor's ghost's gaze suddenly became fierce, and there was hatred in it, and unrelieved pain and self-blame, "I never thought that Wen Huiyan's woman would be able to do that......"
