The third generation of emperors was newly established, and the pillars of the protector gods were put into the ground, and the problems related to the Dayu Jiangshan Sheji had their final results, and everyone was no longer stranded in the underworld.

They followed Abbot Huinian and returned to the ground along the secret passage, and then left Jishiji Temple together.

Emperor Haoxing Xiaoqi was escorted back to the Imperial Mausoleum Palace by Zhu Mo, the commander of the guards.

Haoxing Mingrui also went back with them, preparing to make a detailed arrangement in advance for the emperor's return to Beijing tomorrow and all subsequent matters.

Xiao Tianjue still wants to continue to sit in the Gyeongju military camp.

And Xue Youyou naturally returned to the helm of the Loyalty Alliance.

Glancing at the carriage that stopped outside the temple gate at some point, Leng Yiqing, the new monarch of Great Wealth, turned his gaze to Han Bing beside him, and asked, "Han Bing, do you want to go back to the house with me?"

Hearing the hint of expectation implied in his father's words, Han Bing couldn't help but grin, "The child wants to escort his father back to the Prime Minister's Mansion safely. Only this time, I don't dare to pretend to be a coachman to scare my father again!"

Leng Yiqing suddenly felt a heat in his heart, and couldn't help but step forward and take Han Bing's hand and let him sit in the car with him.

Although they were in the same car, it was very different from the scene when they came to Jeseji Temple together. This time, the father and son were almost speechless all the way.

The cold clothes and Qingshi have been disturbed by what happened in the underworld just now. If it weren't for the fact that Han Bing was sitting beside him, and could faintly hear the sound of the young man's even breathing, he would really think that he was still in a dream.

Previously, he had also had the opportunity to have a long talk with Haoxing Mingrui a few times.

From those conversations, he learned some of Haoxing Mingrui, or the governing philosophy of the hermit people.

Although the complete abolition of imperial power was difficult for him to accept for a while, deep down, he had to admit that the Zen concession system in which everyone negotiated and jointly elected the Ming monarch was indeed more conducive to the long-term peace and stability of the country than the monarchy in which the emperor was dictatorial and arbitrary.

However, although he had slowly come to agree with the idea of equality among the hermits, and even believed in the ideal of a peaceful world, it did not mean that he really had the ability to do it.

Thinking of the many difficulties and difficulties he was about to face, Leng Yiqing couldn't help but fall into a kind of uncertainty about the future.

And Han Bing is also fluctuating at the moment.

In fact, he had already guessed that his uncle Haoxing Mingrui would not be the new monarch of Dayu. Not only because of his status as a hermit, but also because of his identity as a presumed prince.

To become a new monarch of Dayu, it is inevitable to reveal the true identity of Haoxing Mingrui.

If the world knows that he, the son of the eternal king, has been pretending to be Prince Ding, maneuvering between the emperor and the courtiers, it is inevitable that he will have a sense of insidious and treacherous about him.

Now that Dayu has changed dramatically, the country has changed hands, and the most important thing is to stabilize people's hearts.

Therefore, the new king's virtue must not be at fault, but he must be able to convince the people in all respects.

Although Leng Yiqing once abandoned his wife and children, few people really knew about this bad deed. And the few people who know about it will not want to expose him.

Moreover, the Zuo Prime Minister openly recognized Han Bing afterwards and took him back to his mansion to treat him as the eldest son. So in the eyes of the world, Leng Yiqing should be regarded as a responsible father.

As Haoxing Mingrui said, at present, the internal worries have not been eliminated, and the foreign enemy is eyeing the enemy, Dayushi needs an iron-fisted person who has a strategy for governing the country and the ability to control the turbulent situation.

And this person must also be someone they trust, who share their goals, and who is willing to do his best to bring about the peaceful coexistence of the Yu and the Yin.

is indeed a suitable candidate.

In Han Bing's view, although the Protector Divine Pillar has a certain mysterious spirituality because it is infused with the essence of the treacherous Yin State Master, in a sense, it is more of a miracle existence and a sustenance of faith.

In fact, what can really determine the rise and fall of Dayu is people.

Therefore, Leng Yiqing became the new monarch of Dayu, not so much the choice of the protector of the country, but the choice of Haoxing Mingrui.

In the face of this result, what Han Bing thought about the most was not Jiangshan Sheji, but flesh and blood.

It's cold in the heights.

Although Dayu will implement the Zen concession system in the future, Leng Yiqing, the first new monarch born from this, will no longer have absolute power like those Dayu monarchs in the past, and will not be the emperor for life.

However, in such a position, you must put national affairs first, and it is inevitable that you will miss your family.

Shiyu is still young, and he has always been a forbearant and sensible child. I wonder if he will become even more lonely than before?

If he is an elder brother and can be by his side more, he should be very happy, right?

Thinking of the scene when Shiyu and himself parted that night, Han Bing's heart couldn't help but feel sour......

With mixed feelings like this, the carriage that their father and son were riding had come to Jingyang City.

The forbidden army guarding the city gate had already received special instructions from the commander Song Qingfeng, and they did not dare to neglect Zuo Xiang's father and son, so they opened the city gate and let their carriage enter Jingyang City without asking.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, most of the people who were originally dismissed have returned, and they have also reorganized the Prime Minister's Mansion inside and out, and there are basically no traces of being broken into and destroyed by the rebels.

After helping Leng Yiqing out of the carriage, Han Bing bowed solemnly and said, "The child is leaving, please take care of your father!"

However, after waiting for a long time, no one answered.

He looked up, but saw that Leng Yiqing was looking at him with a look of obvious reluctance.

He couldn't help but smile slightly, and said, "When I come back from Chongyuan, I will come to visit my father and Shiyu." ”

Leng Yiqing finally nodded, and said in an unusually kind tone: "Okay, I hope you have a smooth journey and go early and come back early!"

A bright smile appeared on Han Bing's face, and he bowed again, then turned and strode away.

Out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he did not go to Huiyuan, but went out of the city alone.

When he came to the tea shop by Tianmu Lake, he first conveyed to the hidden spies there a few things that Haoxing Mingrui had explained to them that they needed to do urgently. Then, he carried a wine bag and came to Tianmu Lake alone.

At this moment, Tianmu Lake is unusually quiet, the sky full of stars is sprinkled in the lake, the breeze blows, and the sparkling lake water is like a flowing galaxy.

The ice untied a small boat tied to the shore and rowed with the oars on it.

With the sound of gentle paddling, the bow of the boat breaks open the surface of the lake reflecting the starlight, and in this quiet night, it is like the spirit of the lake patrolling one of its territory.

After paddling a short distance, Han Bing dropped the wooden oar in his hand and let the boat drift in the lake.

And he himself lay down on the board of the boat very comfortably, holding the wine bag in his hand, looking at the stars in the sky, and laughing and talking to himself as he drank.

"Luo'er, there are so many stars tonight, I wonder if you can see them there? If you see them, will you think of me? Remember the scene when we looked at the stars together on the lake?

I remember that I just came back from Chongyuan and went to see you at Jinmen Pass. You are sitting alone on the roof of the Shuai Mansion and looking at the bright moon in the sky.

At that time, I was thinking, in the future, whether I look at the moon or the stars, I will accompany you to see it. I won't let you be alone again, thinking about that Xiao Yu who will never come back!

Besides, what's so good about that Xiao Yu? he has no power to restrain the chicken, and he can't see with his eyes, especially if he has to make a sick and weak appearance, it's a wretch!

Where did he have such a jade tree in the wind as my cold ice boy, and his skills were extraordinary? And gave you such a beautiful saddle?

By the way, next time, I'll give you the Moon Running Sword as well. In this way, you will have made a private agreement with me for life...... Haha, Xiao Yu can't fight with me anymore!"

Speaking of pride, he took another big sip of wine, and was smirking at the stars above his head, when he suddenly frowned and muttered, "It's just the moon-running sword...... It seems to be Xiao Yu's...... The kid...... You have to fight with me for everything......"

After thinking about it, he suddenly smiled again, "This time I go to Chongyuan, I will definitely find something better than the Moon Rushing Sword and give it to Luo'er." Maybe she'll be happy and agree to let me stay with her......"

As he spoke, his voice gradually weakened, and a trace of confusion flashed in his starry eyes.

"Luo'er, if I disappear from now on, will you be sad? Xiao Yu has made you sad for a long time, and I don't want you to continue to be sad.

When I'm by your side, I really hope you treat me as Xiao Yu. But when I thought that I would eventually leave, I couldn't let you treat me as Xiao Yu.

I'm scared that I'm going to fall suddenly, and I'm even more afraid I'm going to fall in front of you. When Xiao Yu fell in front of you, he was lucky not to see the tears you shed for him......"

Pouring the last drop of wine from the wine bag into his mouth, Han Bing looked up at the stars, and a tear slipped quietly from the corner of his eye.

At this time, the wine gradually came up, and he, who had not closed his eyes for almost two nights, slowly sank into sleep.

Only the boat full of the boy's endless lovesickness and a few dreams floated gently in this starry Tianmu Lake......
