In the spring of the forty-fifth year of the reign of Tenyu, a great war broke out between the Annam Prefecture and the Kamijing Heavenly Kingdom. In addition to the 150,000 troops of the Protectorate, the Heavenly Sage Empire also transferred 270,000 troops from the six provinces around the Protectorate, a total of 430,000 troops, commanded by Wu Weibo and supervised by the King of Jin. Shangjing Heavenly Kingdom sent Cui Shikai, the general of the expedition to the west, leading 600,000 troops, vowing to recover the lost territory. The two sides confronted each other at Changhe for several months.

"This Cui Shikai is amazing, his shot is so unusual."

King Liang looked at the battle report in which Cui Shikai and his party resisted the joint attack of Wu Weibo and King Jin, although they were at a disadvantage, they still made people feel their courage and courage.

And Zhao Ning stood at the window of the study, looking at the battle report in his hand, and let the autumn wind play with his long hair.

After two years, Zhaoning is already the seventh level, and Zhang You has been reaching the first level of the Liuhe Realm for several months.

"Who is this Choi? Why didn't you have a good reputation before? ”

"Cui has been crusading against the barbarians and Anxi in the west of Shangjingtian before, but he is famous in Shangjingtian, and the empire is not eye-catching. Now it's slapped a lot of people in the face. This King of Jin is only one line away from the Holy Realm, tsk, it's amazing......"

The empire fights, the commander of the army plans strategically, and leads the army to fight; The overseers are first-class powerhouses, sitting in the army. The combination of the two will ensure that the God of the battlefield is invincible.

"Such a powerful general, it's not like the style of Shangjing Heavenly Kingdom."

Two hundred years ago, the military generals rebelled, although it was finally suppressed, but the royal family was killed and wounded, leaving an extremely serious impact, the Shangjing royal family did not have the courage and strength of the Heavenly Sage Emperor after all, so the Shangjing royal family began to implement the worship of literature and suppression of martial arts, and built walls and fortresses on the frontier, only defending and not attacking.

Now, with the appearance of such a figure, I am afraid that it is not only the Heavenly Sage Empire that should be anxious, after all, the civil and military forces of the Shangjing Heavenly Kingdom are opposed, and the Wenchen has been ruthless in suppressing the military generals.

"Now it's up to the court to see if the court looks at him, hehe."

Zhaoning sneered, indeed, you Cui Shikai is powerful, but now that you are as holy as the sun and the sky, there are still people who can kill him, it depends on the attitude of the court.

"By the way, Ning'er, there is a poetry meeting recently, you go and have a look."

"Huh? You're a bit quick to make the switch, and besides, I don't know that. ”

"I know, I know, you're still, you're embarrassed to say! I'm asking you to look for a good girl. ”

"What (๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣"

"This is also what your mother means, and what your majesty means. How about it, it's okay for you, and tell you to find it yourself, I didn't treat you badly, ah! ”

Zhao Ning's face was red, and he nodded quickly.

"Yo, I didn't see you kid, I thought you were going to be tough for a while, hahahaha."

"Who would be strong about this kind of thing!"

Zhao Ning retorted in a low voice, causing King Liang to laugh.

……

The drizzle is hazy, and the autumn wind is slightly cold.

On the shore of Changyuan Lake, osmanthus flowers surround the pavilion. Scholars and nobles come and go here, or drink and enjoy laurel, or write poems and inscriptions, or stroll with friends, and see the green umbrella like a shed at a glance.

Talented people, good matches.

Zhao Ning, Nangong Xu, Peng Feng and Zhang You stood by the lake, letting the drizzle lap in.

Zhaoning felt the unique atmosphere of this lake, so intoxicated, completely forgot the purpose of this trip.

"Seventh brother, what are you doing here?"

"Enjoy the natural scenery!"

"Honestly."

"Well, there is no love at first sight."

"Hahahaha, you kid, tsk, tsk, hahahahaha."

Zhao Ning looked at Zhang You, who was laughing heartily, with a look of disgust.

"Zhaoning, tell me about you, your etiquette talent is a must, but why is your literary skills so poor, now it's the Poetry Club, although you look good, but now you're a complete outsider."

"Blame me, it's all messed up with you, big brother."

"Hey, you kid......"

Zhaoning stopped talking, and the beautiful woman didn't meet, and now he went to see how others wrote it, and he grew his literary heritage.

As soon as you get close to the pavilion, the sound of debate and the recitation of poems are endless.

"Traveling to the north of the north in the twilight, the green snake in the sleeve is bold!"

Wow, what a morning tour, what a guts. Following the voice, Zhao Ning saw a man dressed in white wide sleeves and wearing a green jade around his waist. This person has a heroic face, and his eyebrows and eyes are upright.

What a white-clothed look, good fellow.

In an instant, there was a circle of students around to applaud, and Zhao Ning vaguely heard the name Lu Quanheng. sighed at the elegance of this Lu weighing the name of his parents, and Zhao Ning walked away.

There is no other reason, there are too many people.

Zhao Ning walked around, and didn't feel any special favorite verses. It may be that he has the blood of the Holy Family, and he is naturally warlike, so he is not very interested in these tactful and soft verses.

This is the sound of the prosperous world, not the voice of Zhaoning's heart.

After a flicker, the shadow was stunning.

Zhao Ning unconsciously walked into the distance.

Holding a white cat in his arms, jade feet treading water, and long hair fluttering.

I didn't see a straight face, but I felt that the shape was good, and the skirt was beautiful.

As if sensing that someone was looking at her, the beautiful woman turned around.

For a while, it seemed that the lake was fragrant, the begonias were drunk, and the clouds stopped and the wind stopped.

Apricot face and peach cheeks, light spring mountain, a pair of eyes looking forward to the streamer are indeed slightly tearful.

Zhao Ning was taken aback, and didn't know why this woman had an expression of almost crying. And the woman was also frightened, and as soon as she turned around, she looked directly at herself.

Didn't you say that this is a poetry meeting, and it's all the future white-clothed ministers? How did you get in and get a disciple.

Suddenly, Zhao Ning realized something and hurriedly withdrew his eyes.

"Yes...... Yes......"

Before she could finish speaking, the woman ran away with tears in her eyes.

"Wait, your shoes, your shoes!"

……

"Seventh brother! Are you crazy? Why did you take someone's girl's shoes and come back! ”

"You're crazy, no, no, I'm crazy!"

Then Zhao Ning came to the three people who were drinking and appreciating Gui one by one.

"Love at first sight?" Nangong Xu asked.

"Well, but it's unlikely to be the other side."

"That's easy to do, I'll ask which girl lost her shoes, you are the dignified King of Ziyang, and a girl you like can't be recovered? Hahahaha, wait, the third brother will give you good news later! ”

After a while, Nangong Xu came back with an ugly face.

"How?"

"You're amazing!"

"What's wrong, what's wrong?"

"That's Li Ji!"

"What?" Zhang You called out directly!

"Hahahaha, the dignified Fengyue County Lord was molested by King Ziyang, and tomorrow Chang'an will have a conversation after dinner." Peng Feng interjected without thinking about the excitement.

……

The strong people in the Holy Realm deserve to be courteous by the country, and the king is among them. During the lifetime of the Holy King, his sons enjoyed the same treatment and honor as princes. After the death of the immortal, it is necessary to see if there is a son who can take over the throne with significant military merits, and if there is no hereditary three generations.

And the King of Fengyue is in the prime of life, and his only daughter is also a real county lord. If it is really discussed, it is right with Zhaoning in Yemen.

After staying in the mansion for two days, Zhaoning couldn't sit still, so he found King Liang and said that he wanted to visit King Fengyue.

"What's the matter, why did you suddenly visit the Wind Moon King?"

"Our Liang Wangfu and the Fengyue King have never had anything to do with each other, I'm thinking about visiting, I'm a holy king."

If it was a few years ago, it would have been best not to do such things that stimulated the East Palace, but now this is the best move to implement King Liang's plan, so King Liang can't agree, but the palace needs a reason, and King Liang wants to hear Zhaoning's reason.

"I can agree, but you also know that after all, it is a holy king, and with our identity, there must be an explanation in the palace."

"I'm in love with Lord Fengyue."

"Oh oh, I see, so...... What? What? ”

……

Several carriages drove side by side, coming out of Suzaku Street and heading straight for the Fengyue Palace.

The autumn wind is bleak, the dead leaves are scattered, and the wheels are crushing over it, making a creaking sound.

Zhao Ning's heart has been unable to calm down for a long time, and now he lifts the curtain and looks out the window.

"Your Highness, the Fengyue Palace's Mansion has arrived."

After getting out of the carriage, Zhao Ning looked up and saw the plaque of the Fengyue Palace.

This is engraved by the Fengyue King himself, the pen is smooth, a heaven and earth are one, the characters are one, and the natural feeling gushes out.

There were already people who went out to greet him, but for the Holy King after all, it was just a king, and it was not the turn of the Holy King to greet him personally.

Walk into the palace, the spotted bamboos are flocked, the stream is artesian, the flowers are in full bloom, the warbler is flying and the swallow is talking, and the brocade scales swim. It's very different from the autumn colors outside the house.

"What a cave in the house, a different scene in the house!"

"The small formation arranged by the prince can't get into the eyes of His Highness." Wang Fu replied.

"It's polite, the prince's handwriting is really extraordinary." Zhao Ning has seen a lot of such formations, but there are not many that are like such a complete autumn and spring scene, and they don't feel disobedient at all.

"The prince is taking care of the flowers and plants in the listening garden, and His Royal Highness is invited to come."

Led by Chengfeng, Zhaoning took a good look at the scenery of the palace. The King of the Wind and Moon is a saint in literature, the first person in the ages, this style of doing things reveals the elegance advocated by the literati and inkmen, and the layout of this house also pays attention to an artistic conception, which is worth watching.

From a distance, the Wind Moon King was pruning the branches and leaves. I've seen it many times, but it's the first time I've visited it privately.

Zhao Ning walked forward quickly, and arched his hand: "Guangxu Zhaoning, I have seen the Holy King!" ”

Guangxu is the birthplace of the second emperor, and it is actually the ancestral land of the holy room. This self-humility is already the greatest respect given by the children of the imperial family.

"King Ziyang is too modest, and Li Hong has also seen His Royal Highness."

King Fengyue waved his hand and replied, this can be regarded as a mutual salute.

His Royal Highness came to visit Hong this time, and Hong was naturally grateful. Your Highness has been refining since the Dragon Peak, is there any bottleneck in his cultivation? ”

"It hasn't been, but it's smooth sailing, I just hope that the road ahead is bright."

"Your Highness is too humble, Your Highness's qualifications are already comparable to His Majesty Taizu."

"How to look at the talent, you need to see the results, otherwise it's all rumors, what does the prince think?"

King Fengyue nodded and didn't say more, these things were taught by the elders of the imperial family, and he didn't say much anymore.

The two of you asked a lot of painless homely words one by one, and in Zhaoning's opinion, King Fengyue was still a little jealous and deliberately kept his distance.

Come to think of it, among the holy kings of the empire now, there are three kings with different surnames and six emperors. King Fengyue is neither an imperial family, nor does he hold a lot of power, and it is also appropriate to keep some distance from such imperial events as the battle of the crown prince and King Liang, besides, he is still a literary saint, and his combat power has always been a mystery, after all, he has never made a move, so the empire has always let him sit in the imperial capital.

took out King Liang's letter and handed it to King Fengyue, and Zhao Ning waited quietly on the side. I saw that the Fengyue King's fingers kept rubbing the corner of the letter, and his face was thoughtful, revealing an intriguing expression.

"Come on, take King Ziyang to the backyard of the mansion for a spin."

Zhao Ning was dragged away for no reason, after all, he was an elder, and Zhao Ning couldn't open his mouth for a while to express his intentions, so he could only hold the box and follow the next person to continue to visit the palace.

Watching Zhao Ning disappear from view, King Fengyue smiled lightly.

"Okay, you saint Xuanguang, the idea really hit me.

Alas, it's also a shame that you have this child to crush me.

But after all, it's the shortcomings that are tempered, hiss, it seems that I have been lacking some tempering, that's it, how can I compare this kid in the future. ”

……

Unintentionally met each other, and around a corner, a group of maids ran by laughing, and a beautiful shadow appeared in front of Zhao Ning. Zhao Ning stopped his pace almost instantly, and looked straight at the other side. Of course, the opposite side is also true.

Li Ji was chasing and jumping with the maid, but when he turned the corner, he saw the disciple from two days ago, and he was taken aback.

"You, you, you......"

"County Lord, this is His Royal Highness the King of Ziyang."

In the next turn, Li Ji is stunned, King Ziyang? St. Zhaoning? Is Saint Zhaoning a disciple? Hey, for a moment, Li Ji felt that the future of the empire was bleak.

"The county lord? Princess? ”

The subordinate gently called Li Ji a few times, thinking that his county lord was startled by the identity of the other party.

"You, are you Saint Zhaoning?"

"Uh-huh."

Seeing that the other party was looking at him directly, Li Ji's face was as hot as an apple. The more he looked at it, the more angry he became, but he couldn't yell at him yet, so he simply turned his head and prepared to leave, anyway, the other party must have come here to find his father Li Hong.

Yu Zhongxiao gently pushed Zhao Ning, and Zhao Ning reacted, coughed, and slowly spoke:

"County Lord, County Lord, I have some misunderstanding with the county lord, misunderstanding ......"

Zhaoning said that Yu Zhongxiao pulled the people of the palace aside, and said that this is the king of Ziyang, the eldest grandson of the emperor's family, and he will not mess around. As a result, a few maids around Li Ji retreated.

Yu Zhongxiao had an estimate in his heart, looking at the performance of these maids who were fearless in the emperor's room, it can be seen that these are all first-class protectors.

Seeing that the people around him had retreated, Li Ji spoke softly and said angrily:

"You disciple! And came to the house to harass me! ”

"The county lord misunderstood, I came to return the county lord's shoes, the county lord had a misunderstanding about me before, and I also knew it, and I myself was very wrong......"

Zhao Ning opened the box as he spoke, and there was the pair of shoes left by Li Ji three days ago.

Li Ji was a little surprised, this is an ordinary shoe, and he threw it away. Looking at the appearance of the box, it's worth a lot, this guy ......

There was a slight improvement, and Li Ji thanked him gently. Zhao Ning shook his hand and quickly apologized.

Looking at Zhao Ning's helpless appearance, Li Ji burst out laughing.

"I can't imagine the dignified King Ziyang, but he is so careful, ah?"

"No, no, I usually do the same, and it's also ......"

"Hey, the seventh master is too modest, who in Chang'an City doesn't know the prestige of the seventh master, hehehehe!"

Zhao Ning was instantly embarrassed, but he didn't expect that the other party, a prince and county lord, actually knew the name of the market, and he could only giggle for a while.

"What's the matter, Lord Wang, do you want me to accompany the Lord Wang."

"Okay, well, there is Lord Lao."

So, Li Ji took Zhaoning to the Fengyue Palace, and the next person was led by Yu Zhongxiao, and followed far behind.

"Lord Wang, King Ziyang and the county lord are together, do you want to ......?"

"What do you want to do? King Zichen can look at it. ”

"What?!"

Cheng Fengzheng was taken aback, and wanted to persuade King Fengyue to order the two to separate, but he didn't expect King Fengyue to say that King Zichen was watching. Meddling in the affairs of the eldest grandson is the sin of the Zhu clan for people like Chengzheng.

For a while, a cold sweat broke out, and I didn't say anything more.

At this moment, King Zichen was in the void above the heavenly dome, driving a flat boat, through the formation of the Fengyue Palace, quietly watching everything that happened in the palace, the thunder and lightning around him surged, and from time to time the void cracks spit out raging fire.

……

"This is the wind forest, all the best bamboos, when the breeze comes, the sound of salsa, then you can hear the sound of the wind."

Li Ji sat on the boulder in the listening wind forest, and introduced all this to Zhaoning with great interest. Zhao Ning stood aside and looked at Li Ji stupidly, listening quietly, and muttering a sentence from time to time.

After coming to the Fengyue Palace, Zhao Ning didn't say a few words.

"Looks like you're not very interested."

"No, no, just thinking about ......"

"What do you think?"

"You."

Zhao Ning almost blurted out, and Li Ji, who listened to it, blushed in the face for a moment. Zhao Ning reacted immediately and hurriedly apologized, saying that he was accidentally distracted by the scenery and absent-minded. Li Ji secretly scolded the disciple, but when he saw this kid's panicked appearance, he felt that the dignified King Ziyang was actually such a person, which was also interesting.

"Okay, I'll go, you can go around and go to your father by yourself."

"Can you go out to enjoy the laurels in the next few days?"

"I had enough of it the other day."

"Chrysanthemum?"

"Lord Wang, I'm also a woman who hasn't been out of the cabinet, how can there be someone like you, okay, okay, I'll meet again."

Li Ji chuckled and ran away, grimacing at Zhaoning as he ran. Zhao Ning's heart is put on the road, and the deer collides.

……

After bidding farewell to the Fengyue Palace, Zhao Ning sat in the carriage with joy. Although it is a little unsatisfactory, it is still a good acquaintance.

"Long miles and long ......"

Suddenly, King Zichen appeared in the carriage.

"Old prince?"

"Hahaha, Zhaoning, you don't have to salute."

"Good. The old prince came to see me? ”

"Well, you kid, you have a vision, hahahaha."

King Zichen touched his beard and looked at Zhao Ning and laughed. Yu Zhongxiao hurriedly stopped the carriage and broke in when he heard the voice, and when he saw King Zichen, he retreated in embarrassment.

"The old prince has seen it?"

"Hmm!"

"Do you think it's possible?"

"Hahaha, I don't care, I'm just here to tell you, I recommend you to His Majesty to participate in the spring hunt, inform you, take a look at you, okay, let's go, you stinky boy."

This King Zichen came and went quickly.
