Volume 1 One Hand Covers the Sky Chapter 89 Walking Alone

"You are from a family, but you are a concubine, if it weren't for the early death of the eldest son in the family, otherwise it would not be your turn to inherit the title." When Emperor Jingcheng turned sideways, his eyes were staring at him, "The family was originally the entourage of the founding ancestors of my Zheng State. Retrospectively, they are all brave soldiers. The times create people, Zheng Guo opened the country with martial arts, fixed the country, and the ancestors and emperors of all dynasties intended to follow the great achievements of the ancestors, focusing on the world beyond the territory. It is still unknown that the current world is already a country and a people's peace, and military rule can be for a while, but not for eternity."

Pang Boyi replied respectfully: "Your Majesty is discerning, and Weichen's qualifications are reckless."

"No, you're not stupid." Emperor Jingcheng's eyes narrowed slightly, "The year of my crown is also the first year of your tenure. You're ambitious. A conscription order was sparse, which caught me off guard. The law of Zheng Guo is the foundation of Zheng Guo, and you are the third prince of Guilie, and your head and hand are stretched to the roots. Pang Sikong, Shangshutai is the center of Zheng Guo, above Jiuqing, the power is with you." He whispered, "Isn't it enough?"

A school of fish churned out of the water, and a pair of double fish eyes converged in the pavilion, looking forward to it.

Pang Boyi took a breath and said, "Weichen doesn't dare, Your Majesty will listen to the minister."

There were only two of them in the pavilion, and the maids and attendants were kneeling far away at the end of the long bank.

Emperor Jingcheng untied the ties of his thick robe and said, "I listen."

"Your Majesty knows that Emperor Taizu founded the country with martial arts, and throughout the ages, the people of Zheng State have all been martial, and the people are fierce, and they do not take the sage Sven as an example." Pang Boyi's raised face was calm and calm, "Just like Your Majesty's words, today's Zheng Guo cannot be ruled by force, and the world should be stabilized, and the rule of culture can be the cornerstone of eternal life."

Emperor Jingcheng listened to the words, kneaded his ten fingers, and said, "Go on."

"When Zheng founded the country, those who followed Emperor Taizu were all soldiers, and the ancestors of my Pang clan were just a green forest back then, only because of the ambition of Emperor Taizu and were angry, and then they poured all their wealth into raising troops. At that time, such people were like fish in the Tianhe Pond, and there were countless of them." Pang Boyi straightened his chest, "Zheng Guo founded the country, and those who have meritorious deeds are rewarded for their meritorious deeds, and under the reward, the children of the family are all hereditary titles. This is the foundation of Zheng Guo. And the law, which is the chain that binds the family. Warriors, if you are not wise, you are a reckless man. The world of cultural rule should seek the prosperity of Kyushu with wisdom and peace. Wechen's implementation of the conscription order is to call the wise men of the future to replace the heroes of the past. Kyushu has been decided, and the people should be restrained and speculate about the future, and teach their children to do the great righteousness of the world with poetry and books."

"Ambition." Emperor Jingcheng sat up straight, "Unprepared."

Pang Boyi made a salute and said, "I don't know, please give me advice."

At this moment, although he was practicing the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, his remarks had become a game between the two sides.

"Not to mention the grand occasion of the first emperor's rule, and now the natural disasters in Kyushu continue year after year." Emperor Jingcheng pressed his knees, "There is still Jiang Zimo in Yanzhou who is the one who controls the water. But what about the other seven states? The people you sent are full of wounds. Over the years, I have not asked about the affairs of the court, and all matters large and small have been decided by Shang Shutai, because I believe in you." He stretched out the index finger of his sleeve robe and pointed at Pang Boyi, "I believe that you can manage the land of Qizhou for Zheng Guo, and I resolutely let power go to you, just to let you go and govern the world of Kyushu!"

His fingers vibrated in the air, and his voice was stern.

Pang Boyi knelt down to look at Emperor Jingcheng and said calmly, "Your Majesty, Weichen Xie."

"I'm not done!" Emperor Jingcheng suddenly changed color, and his thick eyebrows frowned, "I will give you power, give you time, and I will not ask the court for many years. Why? Well? I have given you everything, big and small, in exchange for what?" He spread out his empty hands and trembled, "Kyushu has changed greatly, disasters are rampant, the conscription order has been replaced by the heirs of the people, the young and strong have joined the army, the fields have no one to cultivate, the broken houses have no one to repair, the good women have no lights to sew and mend their clothes, and the treasury is almost empty! Have you ever seen those veterans who came home from the army, disabled and sick, unable to farm, with no food to feed at home, and who were easy to eat in times of disaster, sleeping on the soft collapse of the harem of glazed tiles, eating jade food?"

He brushed his fingers over his pale lips, grabbed the dragon robe with one hand, raised his voice and said, "Wearing brocade clothes, the concubines around me want this and that, I will allow it, but where do those things come from?" He pointed to Pang Boyi's chest, "Come from Shangshutai, come up from this official uniform." The people's fat and people's ointment all come from here. Kyushu has become a leaky trend, and I slept on the dragon couch, pretending not to know anything. But on that stage!" He pointed to the empty stage on the other side of the Tianhe River,

"Those who sing are all bitter to the people, and there is no joy. I can't wait, you can't go back to heaven, I have no choice but to be the one who turns things around!"

Emperor Jingcheng waved his sleeves, leaned back and tilted his head sideways not to look at Pang Boyi. Chinese Net

Pang Boyi held his head high, looked at Emperor Jingcheng calmly, and said, "It will take some time for Weichen to settle down Kyushu and give His Majesty a satisfactory answer." He knelt close to his knees and said earnestly, "Your Majesty would like to give Wechen some time?"

Emperor Jingcheng closed his eyes, lay down peacefully on the couch, and said, "I mistrusted people when I was crowned. Jing Cheng was not like a king back then. Now that I've learned, if you make a mistake, you'll be wrong once. I've tasted all the bitterness in my mistakes, and I've learned."

I don't need you anymore.

Emperor Jingcheng waved his sleeves, Pang Boyi was stunned, sat on his hind legs, and there was a trace of hardship on his calm face.

Pang Boyi was silent for a long time, and finally raised his eyes to look at Emperor Jingcheng, carefully looked at the emperor of the Great Zheng State in front of him, and finally, solemnly bowed his head and said, "Wechen thank Your Majesty, Wechen retire."

After he got up, he stepped back towards Emperor Jingcheng. It wasn't until he had taken a few steps that he turned around and walked towards the long shore.

Emperor Jingcheng looked at the carp in the river that day and let out a long breath. And Pang Boyi, who was on the long shore, gradually straightened his back and showed his big hands while walking.

It was as if the sky was covered.

The drizzle of the day did not stop.

The raindrops fell into the Tianhe, the sound of dripping water continued, and Emperor Jingcheng's breath was light and heavy. He has not been in the court for many years, and has given up the authority of the country, and the court of Chongwu is a border area that he can reach, but is also daunting.

He had held the throne with great urgency, but he knew that once he held it in his hands, he had to move forward from a new beginning, which was the sound of the gears of fate beginning to roll, and once he sat on the dragon chair, it would be the fate of his life to go alone.

And the young king, who still had dreams of abundant youth, longed for a future in his own way, feared the pressure that poured down, and the man who could comfort his soul in the face of collapse was dead.

"Your Majesty, the drama asks to see you." Dozens of actors were already kneeling on the stage, and one actor shouted in a joking voice, "I beg your Majesty's permission."

Emperor Jingcheng calmed down in an instant, raised his eyes to look at the stage, and said, "Rise the stairs, see you."

The actor immediately trotted off the stage and pressed one of the red jade mountain stones.

Boom, sand and gravel rubbing, white foam on the churning of the lake, schools of fish scattered in all directions, and the steps that rose up one step at a time surfaced and connected into a staircase leading directly to the Heavenly Pavilion.

The kneeling actor knelt down and made way for a way.

Xiong Er stepped on the ladder and marched step by step, rising step by step.

The old bear walked behind, and Twilight trembled at the corner of his coat and followed him up the steps.

Emperor Jingcheng stood in the pavilion and looked at the three of them, his figure swelled greatly, and his momentum seemed to show the momentum of a king who climbed high and looked far away in a moment.

Xiong Er knelt down in front of the steps, clasped his fists, and said, "Xiong Er, see Your Majesty. Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

The old bear knelt down, he hung his head, clasped his fists and saluted, and said, "Old Xiong, see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Twilight knelt down, but hung her head without saying a word.

"I haven't seen you for many years, but I'm finally meeting you." Emperor Jingcheng's gaze swept over the three of them, lingering on Twilight Cloud for a moment, and then looking at Old Xiong, "You have broken the letter since the Chongwu New Year. Fortunately, Xiong Er was still in Menzhou to take care of the inside and outside for me, so he didn't call the dart game out of the fork. Old bear, you are old, and your desires have subsided. I still remember that night vividly."

Old Bear looked ashamed, and he said, "When I was young and vigorous, I had great ambitions to show my strength and make a great career for Your Majesty. It's just that later when he gave birth to a son, he had the idea of retiring from the rivers and lakes. I hope that Your Majesty will atone for your sins."

"Twilight." Emperor Jingcheng looked at Twilight Cloud and said in a hoarse tone, "It's been a long time, all these years, are you okay?"

Twilight lowered her head and said softly, "Everything is fine, Your Majesty Xie cares."

"Xiong Er, I have made a strict rule that you must not enter the capital if you have nothing important." Emperor Jingcheng turned to Xiong

Second, he said calmly, "You came here, but you came with news?"

"Your Majesty, it's about the northern border." Xiong Er took out the blood-stained letter from his arms and presented it with both hands, "This is the express report of the dart bureau in the Red Pass in recent times, and the desert is different."

Emperor Jingcheng took out the letter paper and read it carefully, and after a while, his fingers drooped, and he let the letter sway with the wind, and he said, "The border is changing, but I have never seen it in my song. The captain did not report it, and the commonplace did not report it. The news I want to know is from you except this stage. Huh." He laughed desolately, "What a group of loyal courtiers."

Xiong Er immediately bowed down and shouted loudly: "The grass people are willing to be born and die for Your Majesty, and their liver and brain will be smeared!"

Emperor Jingcheng waved his sleeves and said, "I know that you are loyal, since you are here, then I should fulfill my promise. Go down, and I will reward you later."

Xiong Er bowed, and when he got up, he looked at Emperor Jingcheng's eyes with extremely strong desire, and he said in a loud voice, "Oh."

Xiong Er smiled smugly as he left, he glanced at Old Xiong and Twilight, and then strutted away.

"Old Xiong, I haven't asked you about the flower boat back then." Emperor Jingcheng stepped to the left and asked sideways, "After you left, you still saw her traces."

His steps were anxious, and the old bear looked up and said in a dumb voice, "At that time, the flood was full, and the grass people only rescued Twilight, but they didn't see her."

"No, no, no." Emperor Jingcheng highlighted his impatience, "She is in the flower boat, it is impossible for people to disappear. Twilight!" He took a few steps down the stairs and stared at him, "Say, where is she?" He grabbed Twilight's shoulders, "You told me the truth, you hid her, didn't you?" Huh?"

Emperor Jingcheng's words were urgent, and his eyes were even more eager.

Twilight looked sideways at Emperor Jingcheng, and she said in a mournful tone, "Your Majesty, she's dead."

She's dead.
