Distance does not produce beauty, only estrangement and misunderstanding. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

I haven't seen him for more than a year, and Gu Qingling doesn't know what Shangguan Xiu has experienced in Zhenjun and how much has changed in him. Similarly, Shangguan Xiu didn't know what kind of emotions Gu Qingling had for Jing Hong.

Both of them care about each other, but just like that, many questions in their hearts can't be asked.

In the evening of the same day, Shangguan Xiu went to the palace in the imperial town. At the gate of the palace, in addition to the many Praetorian Guards, there are also two people, these two are generals with armor, although they are forty years away, but they are full of spirit, with a majestic and majestic aura unique to military generals.

Shangguan Xiu didn't know these two, and as soon as he walked to the gate of the palace, he was stopped by the Praetorian Guards who rushed up, and the people asked in a deep voice, "Who is it?"

Before Shangguan Xiu could speak, one of the Praetorian Guards recognized him, hurriedly waved his hand to the surrounding Praetorian Guards, and said, "Brothers, don't be rude, this is Lord Shangguan." ”

Hearing that the Praetorian Guards called him Lord Shangguan, the two middle-aged generals standing on the side invariably looked at him and looked at him with scrutinizing eyes.

A captain of the Praetorian Guard walked up to Shangguan Xiu, bowed his hand, and said politely: "It turned out to be Lord Shangguan, disrespectful!"

The Praetorian Guards naturally knew that Shangguan Xiu was His Majesty's savior, and their attitude towards him could be described as respectful. Ferry to see the new festival

Shangguan Xiu bowed back and said, "I want to see Your Majesty!"

"This ...... His Majesty has an order to refuse to see guests tonight. The commander of the Praetorian Guard glanced to the side and reminded in a low voice: "Lord Shangguan, General Wei and General Zuo have been here a long time ago, but Your Majesty has never seen them." ”

Yo, it turns out that these two are General Wei and General Zuo. Shangguan Xiu's eyes showed a hint of surprise. In terms of rank, General Wei is the first grade, and General Zuo is the first grade, both of whom are the top generals in the army.

Shangguan Xiu glanced at the two middle-aged generals not far away, and then said to the commander of the Praetorian Guard: "Brother Fulao, report to Your Majesty, I am here to bid farewell to Your Majesty, if Your Majesty insists on not seeing you, at least let Your Majesty know that I have come to resign." ”

The commander of the Praetorian Guard was stunned when he heard this, but he had the merit of saving the driver, and he had made such a great contribution, why did he still want to go, didn't he want His Majesty's reward? "Lord Shangguan, this is ......?"

Shangguan Xiu arched his hand and said, "Please." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!" The commander of the Praetorian Guard returned the salute, hesitated for a moment, he nodded, and said: "Please Lord Shangguan is here later, I will go and report to Your Majesty, but if Your Majesty refuses to see Lord Shangguan, the villain will not know." ”

"Thank you. "Your lordship is kind. ”

The Janissary Captain turned around and walked briskly into the palace gate. After a full two quarters of an hour, the commander of the Praetorian Guard hurriedly ran out of the palace gate, and when he arrived outside the palace, he took two deep breaths out of breath, calmed down a little, he came to Shangguan Xiu, bowed down and said, "Lord Shangguan, Your Majesty is invited!"

Hearing this, the two middle-aged generals standing on the side were both shocked, a dignified General Wei and a dignified General Zuo, His Majesty refused to see them, and now a small battalion captain came to visit, and His Majesty saw it, which was also too surprising.

The two middle-aged generals didn't mean to talk to Shangguan Xiu, but when they saw that he was about to walk towards the palace, they both stepped forward quickly, and one of them asked, "Pavilion is Shangguan Xiu Shangguan?"

Shangguan Xiu stopped, turned to look at the two with a smile, and arched his hand and said, "In Shangguan Xiu, I have seen two generals. ”

The two of them didn't look down on Shangguan Xiu, and Shangguan Xiu also didn't take the two of them seriously, in all fairness, he didn't think that the generals who assisted Tang Ling performed very well in this national war.

General Zuo Yu Longzi Zhengse said: "Lord Shangguan, there is an urgent military situation, and you need to discuss with Your Majesty, please see Your Majesty, explain the situation to Your Majesty, and ask Your Majesty to see Weichen." ”

Shangguan Xiu pondered for a moment, nodded and replied, "I will convey it to Your Majesty." After speaking, he followed the captain of the Praetorian Guard to the palace.

The palace of Anjun is large and luxurious, and when you walk into it, there are red bricks and blue tiles, pavilions and pavilions, and most of the ground is paved with marble, and it is spotlessly clean.

In the palace, the guards are tight, and the Praetorian Guards standing guard can be seen everywhere, and they are hidden in the dark, and there are many secret posts that cannot be seen by the naked eye.

The Commander of the Praetorian Guard led Shangguan Xiu to the Imperial Garden, and when he arrived at the gate of the Imperial Garden, the Captain of the Praetorian Guard stopped, turned around and said with a smile to Shangguan Xiu: "Lord Shangguan, the villain can only send you here." ”

Shangguan Xiu thanked him and raised his eyes to look into the Imperial Garden, which was green and hurried, overgrown with exotic flowers and plants.

He had just taken a few looks, and a young female official dressed as a palace maid walked out of the imperial garden, with light steps and spiritual pressure leaking, obviously a master of spiritual martial arts.

She walked up to Shangguan Xiu, gave a blessing gift, and said with a smile: "It's Lord Shangguan! ”

Shangguan Xiu followed the palace maid into the imperial garden, turned left and right in the path of the garden, and was led by her to a gazebo, and looked into the pavilion, Tang Ling was sitting alone in the pavilion drinking.

The palace maid turned sideways, waved her hand and said, "Lord Shangguan, please." ”

Nodding to her, Shangguan Xiu stepped into the gazebo. The gazebo is located on a high ground in the garden, and you can stand in it and have a panoramic view of most of the garden.

In this imperial garden, there are more than 30 spiritual pressures that Shangguan Xiu can feel, but when he looks out, he can't even see a personal shadow. Obviously, since the assassin's assassination, Tang Ling's protection of himself has been strengthened a lot.

Shangguan Xiu retracted his gaze and landed on the stone table in the pavilion, on which were placed two wine jugs, he casually lifted one of them, which was already empty, and when he lifted the other, there was only half a pot of wine left. He sighed secretly, bowed to Tang Ling, and said, "The villain has seen Your Majesty." ”

"Are you leaving?" Tang Ling didn't look at him, picked up his wine glass, raised his head and took a sip of wine.

"I'm going to leave tomorrow. Shangguan Xiu said.

Tang Ling raised his glass again and drank the remaining wine in the cup.

She put down the cup, turned her head to look at Shangguan Xiu, and said with a wry smile: "I have often felt that what I have done has been too much of a failure, and there is not even a person by my side who can be trusted by me. ”

Shangguan Xiu glanced at her deeply, and said quietly: "If Your Majesty is in the sky, anyone around Your Majesty is trustworthy, and they will naturally be loyal to Your Majesty. ”

A gleam flashed in Tang Ling's eyes, she narrowed her eyes, and asked slowly, "Are you mocking me for being surrounded by some wall grass?"

"I'm just talking about the normal feelings of people, the normal state of people's hearts. Shangguan Xiu said: "When the national disaster is at hand, the people are panicking, instead of drinking alone here, it is better to listen to what the generals want to say to your majesty and what kind of advice they have." ”

Tang Ling played with the empty wine glass in his hand and said, "You are now alluding to the fact that I ignore the government and am a tyrant who is a faint monarch as the traitor said?"

If she said this to others, she would definitely scare the other party away, and she would have to collapse on the ground on the spot. When Shangguan Xiu heard this, he secretly rolled his eyes, Tang Ling was too sensitive, he just kindly reminded her, but it became an accusation against her.

He shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know if Your Majesty is a tyrant or not, but in my opinion, from Your Majesty's accession to the throne to the present, there is nothing wrong in terms of major national affairs. ”

Tang Ling blinked his eyes and said faintly: "Many people accuse me of not sending troops to Ningnan, if I don't send troops to Ningnan, I won't suffer such a big defeat and let the Wind Country suffer such a big loss." ”

Shangguan Xiu clenched his fists and said, "Anyone who says such a thing is a soft bone who has no ambition and forgets his ancestors, and it is not an exaggeration to punish him. ”

Tang Ling looked at Shangguan Xiu, snorted and laughed, and said, "It seems that you and I finally have a common ambition. ”

Shangguan Xiu is a typical gale ideology, respecting the spirit of gale dominating the sky, what he inherited is the ambition of Tang Yin's Shangguan Yuanrang's generation, in this regard, he is indeed very similar to Tang Ling, so Shangguan Xiu does not think that Tang Ling is a faint monarch from beginning to end, but feels that Tang Ling is more suitable than Tang Yu to be the emperor of the wind country.

"You have a point, I really shouldn't drink alone here now, are Shi Xiao and Yu Longzi still waiting for me outside the palace?" she said Shi Xiao is General Wei.

"General Wei and General Zuo are both outside the palace. ”

"Would you like to accompany me to listen to what he and both of them have to say?"

"This ...... Not quite right. "Shi Xiao and Yu Longzi's admonition to Tang Ling, this can be called the highest-level military meeting of the Wind Country, Shangguan Xiu is only a battalion captain, how can he be qualified to participate in such a high-level government?

Tang Ling smiled and said, "What is inappropriate about Zhenyun's matter. As she spoke, she threw the wine glass in her hand onto the table, turned her head sideways and said, "Someone!"

"Your Majesty!" a female official of the palace hurriedly walked in from outside the pavilion and bowed his bow.

"Summon, General Wei and General Zuo will go to the imperial study to discuss matters. ”

"Yes!!" replied the female officer, and walked out quickly.

Tang Ling smiled at Shangguan Xiu and said, "Let's go, accompany me to the imperial study." "Tang Ling is the emperor, yes, but she is also a person, and she also needs to be affirmed and recognized. If her decision is opposed by the majority of the people, and the matter is finally completed, it is naturally her wise decision, and if it does not work out, she is also facing a lot of pressure. Tang Ling was like a little hedgehog just now, it wasn't that she was sensitive, but that she was under heavy pressure to protect herself.

Having Shangguan Xiu, a person who has the same philosophy as her and can unswervingly stand on her side, is very important to Tang Ling, and the appearance of Shangguan Xiu can make Tang Lingzi, who is drinking alone, become energetic, of course, it also makes sense.
