Chapter 69: Flowers Bloom on the Other Side (Part II)
If life is going to be like you, and you can't resist it, then you can only be how to be, and if you are not very resistant, then how to get up will be much easier. Based on this cognition, Ning Que got rid of the shock and distress very quickly, he scratched his head, looked over Xu Chongshan's thick shoulders, passed through the window of the dark duty room, and said, "Can you ask another question?"
Xu Chongshan replied crisply: "I will answer if I can answer." ”
"Why me?" asked Ning Que.
Xu Chongshan replied: "The old dynasty admires you very much, he thinks that if your luck is better, your achievements in the future will even be above him, and because of what happened last night, Chang San Chen Qi and they also value you...... According to the rules of the Shi Guard, whether it is the manpower of the open office or the dark guard, the opinions of the seniors are relatively more important. ”
"My lord......" Ning Que covered his forehead and said: "If so many people know the identity of my secret guard, then I would like to ask how to explain the secret word in the secret guard? Do you want me to go back to Lane 47 and order a few firecrackers, and then pull two banners to tell the people of the world that I did this errand?"
Of course, Xu Chongshan heard the dissatisfaction and anger in his words, and frowned slightly and explained: "Datang is a place with rules, even if the nobles in the palace know your identity, no one dares to expose you at the risk of His Majesty's anger." As for Chang San, how many of them ...... He has long proven himself to be loyal and reliable. ”
Ning Que lowered his arm, shook his head and said, "Only time is the only criterion for testing the truth. ”
"They have been proving this qiē for more than ten years. Xu Chongshan said expressionlessly: "But I like your words very much, but unfortunately if you want to be admitted to the academy, then you can only take the dark road, otherwise with the old dynasty's appreciation of you and this sentence, I really have the idea of cultivating you as my successor." ”
"Although I, Xu Chongshan, was born in the army, I still have a little bit of blood, but I can't be as chic as the old dynasty, I don't even know who you are, so I dare to put my own life into your hands, after all, Shi Wei is related to the safety of His Majesty, so Shi Wei has checked your ancestors for eighteen generations in advance,"
"It's a pity that the Shi Health Department only found that you were seven years old, confirming that you are an orphan, and could not find your ancestors, but we know very well your appearance in the military village in Weicheng, and we like it very much. ”
Xu Chongshan stretched out his broad palm, patted Ning Que's shoulder heavily, and said: "Your military experience and military achievements accumulated over the years are enough to prove your loyalty to Your Majesty and the Tang Dynasty. ”
Hearing that the Shi Guard had already checked his details, Ning Que was not alarmed, because he knew that no one in this world knew who he really was except for Sang Sang and the dead Kuroko.
He slowly pinched the slightly wet waist card in his palm, and after a moment of silence, he continued: "According to what you said before, no one should take the initiative to contact me, so how can I report to you if I have a situation? I don't think it will be in the palace to meet in the future, right? I never imagined that this kind of thing could be carried out in such an open place." ”
"Why not?" Xu Chongshan said proudly: "There is no safer place in the world than my Tang Palace. ”
Ning Que sighed, reluctantly accepted the facts, then raised his head, raised his face and said with anticipation: "The reward of honor can't be known, so I'...... When will you face the saint?"
Xu Chongshan looked at him in a daze, and immediately burst out laughing, rubbing his round stomach and laughing: "You are here...... Do you think that you entered the palace today to face the saint?"
"Isn't it?"
"Gui Geng?"
"XVI. ”
"What's your last name?"
"Ning. ”
Xu Chongshan looked at him and asked seriously: "You are not a centenarian, and you are not a distant relative of the royal family, so your face is bigger than others?"
Ning Que mothed his cheeks, which could barely be called delicate, and shook his head.
Xu Chongshan sighed, looked at the young man and shook his head and said, "Chang San and the others haven't seen His Majesty for many years, so why do you think that you are qualified to face the saint alone?"
Ning Que was silent for a moment and then said seriously: "My handwriting is really good, if Your Majesty likes it, maybe you will be reluctant to let me be a shiwei, and directly declare me into the palace to do shi reading or something." ”
Xu Chongshan smiled, looked at him and said mockingly: "Except for Shi Wei, the only one who can stay in the palace for a long time is the eunuch." ”
Ning Que's expression stiffened slightly, and he smiled a little embarrassedly, not daring to continue the topic.
Xu Chongshan is the deputy commander of the Tang Shiwei, of course he is very busy, today he deliberately took the time, and finally had no choice but to summon this young man alone, he had already given Chaoshu Tianda face, after talking about things, he naturally drove the other party away without hesitation, and then hurriedly ran back to the side of the council hall to wait.
Ning Que walked out of the empty shiwei duty room, and was worried about how he should get out of the palace, would he stay for a while like entering the imperial study, enter a certain willow palace courtyard by mistake, meet a certain palace grudge and cold, give birth to some very bad things, or will he bump into a princess who he defines as an idiot but occasionally remembers it...... Then he saw the eunuch who had brought him into the palace standing beside him like a ghost.
Although he really wanted to question the other party J for not knowing what was going on, he was frightened by pen and ink drugs in the imperial study, but for safety reasons, he finally closed his mouth tightly, and honestly followed the eunuch through the silent and uninhabited lake willow path stone gate, got into the bikini carriage, and drove through the laundry bureau to the outside of the palace.
Just as he was about to pass through the palace alley building of the laundry bureau, Ning Que suddenly felt something, his mouth was sullen for a while, and he didn't care about the stern eyes of the eunuch next to him who gave warnings, lifted the corner of the curtain curtain of the car, frowned and looked out.
Looking through the sky of the narrow alleys, over the sound of bangs and the smell of soaphorns in the alleys, it fell on a corner of a magnificent palace in the distance, and there were ** eaves beasts with different expressions squatting on the eaves in the high and light blue sky.
He didn't know what the names of these eaves beasts were, who were the monsters, staring at that place in a daze, only to feel that his mouth was getting more and more stuffy, and his heart was beating faster and faster, as if he was about to break his ribs and jump out, and as his heart beat and added, the distant eaves beasts in his sight became clearer and clearer, and the brick and stone lines that had been blown away by the wind and rain for hundreds of years became more and more flexible, and it seemed that he would become a living thing in the next moment.
He snorted, covered his mouth, and couldn't help but think of the feeling he felt when he first saw the statue of Chang'an Vermilion Bird on that rainy day, and looked at those eaves beasts in the palace fiercely, his face became more and more pale, but he refused to take his eyes away.
......
......
Earlier, in the imperial study, there was an extremely fierce quarrel, Xu Chongshan, the deputy commander of Shi Wei, and Lin Gonggong, the deputy head of Ouchi, were guarding outside the imperial study like two statues, no matter what sound they heard, they didn't dare to show the slightest expression on their faces, because these two big people were sitting with a grandson in their hearts at this time, and they were shocked to the extreme with fear and fear, and at the same time felt that the one in the imperial study was too kind.
It has been thirteen years since the Tang Dynasty Apocalypse, and no one has ever seen the emperor so angry, even after the Shengfeng Pavilion incident last night, His Majesty only slapped the table a few times and scolded more than thirty idiots, but today the emperor in the imperial study did not know how many teacups were broken, and how many swear words were scolded that must not be heard.
"Chaoshu! If you are still so ignorant of lifting, don't blame Lao Tzu for cleaning you up!"
"How do ......you clean you up?" I...... I really don't know!"
"You stupid and stubborn guy, why don't you even understand a little truth in the world!"
", I will call the second brother for the last time today, do you want to stay or not!"
The imperial study was suddenly quiet, and Xu Chongshan and Lin Gonggong outside the door couldn't help but turn their heads to look at each other, confirming that they saw the shock and envy in each other's pupils was no different from their own, and they turned their heads again to look at the tree without saying a word.
There was silence in the room for a long time, and then Asaki's calm, gentle but extremely firm voice rang out.
"Don't stay. ”
There was a dull crisp sound, it should be that the Tang Emperor Majesty smashed his most cherished Huangzhou Shen Mu Yan, Xu Chongshan and Lin Gonggong who were guarding the door could no longer remain silent, especially Xu Chongshan was very worried that His Majesty would make some decisions that he would definitely regret afterwards, so he was ready to knock on the door two steps in advance.
At this moment, the door of the imperial study was pushed open with a creak, and Chao Shu, who was dressed in a green shirt, calmly walked out of the threshold, and after the door of the room behind him was closed again, he turned around and lifted his long placket, knelt on the ground on both knees, and knocked three times very strictly, making a great gift of seeing each other again and again.
Then he stood up, smiled and bowed to Xu Chongshan and Lin Gonggong, left the imperial study and walked outside the palace, there was no eunuch and palace maid beside him to guide the way, he walked slowly alone, like a garden, he came to this palace more than ten years ago, he came to this palace a lot of times, very emotional, over the years into the palace a lot less times, very nostalgic.
Walking to the shore of the big lake called Lihai, thinking about the trees, looking at the lake quietly behind the green shirt, watching the golden carp in the lake swim happily, suddenly the corner was slightly warped, and a refreshing smile bloomed through the willow shade.
His calm and smiling gaze fell, and the bodies of those golden carp swimming happily suddenly froze, and they became completely still, like yuyu fish suspended in the crystal green boo, full of life but without business at all.
Chao Shu muttered: "After being in the cage for a long time, you can return to nature." ”
Heaven and earth are trapped in the cage, and the heart is trapped in the cage, and the cage in the heart is broken, and the cage in the heaven and earth is also broken.
......
......
In the imperial study, the golden crown was thrown by Hu 1 in the corner of the wastewood, and the Tang Emperor stared at the picture of "The Fish Leaps into the Sea at this Time" written by himself in the early morning on the case with annoyance, and his face was full of unwillingness and regret.
He didn't know that in the corner of the bookshelf, someone secretly continued for him, "Open the other side".
Suddenly, he raised his head, looked in the direction of the Imperial Garden through the window, frowned slowly and then slowly relaxed, and finally turned into a calm and relieved, and said lightly to himself: "Maybe you are really right." ”
......
......
Somewhere in the palace, a Taoist priest about forty years old was checking the pulse of the queen's mother, and suddenly his eyebrows suddenly raised, and his fingers scratched the mother's plump wrist extremely rudely, and he turned his head to look behind him in a daze.
The queen frowned slightly, thinking to herself that the national teacher had always been quiet and gentle, why would she be so out of shape.
The Taoist priest looked at the place in a daze, and suddenly beat his feet and howled: "I was wrong, I was really wrong, I should have persuaded His Majesty to let the tree leave earlier, or simply let him enter the academy......"
"With the master's ability and the state of mind of the tree, my Datang will definitely have another peerless powerhouse over the years, and maybe even be able to fight with the Southern Jin Dynasty, but it's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity that I'm more than ten years late!"
......
......
In a certain alley of the laundry bureau, Ning Que sat in the carriage and stubbornly stared at the few eaves beasts in the distance that seemed to be about to come to life, his face became paler and paler, his heart beat faster and faster, and suddenly all the feelings disappeared.
......
......
In front of the Suzaku Gate of the Imperial Palace.
The middle-aged man looked back at the stone beasts on the eaves of the main hall, and laughed loudly, the laughter was unusually chic and spacious, without a trace of distractions, those eaves beasts seemed to understand the meaning of his laughter, and returned to calm and serene.
In the midst of chic laughter, he walked out of the main gate of the imperial city in a green shirt.
After today, Chang'an City is missing a ** leader called Fengting Old Dynasty.
In this world, there is a strong man who watches the lake fish and enters the realm of knowing the destiny of heaven.
