Chapter 115
The ice rink is huge, and hundreds of elites are ready to go. As soon as the order rings, they will rush to the flag. Xiao Zhige, dressed in black, stood among many officers and soldiers, and specially ordered someone to add a "GE" flag with a black background to the flag, raising his voice: "you all give your best, and if anyone can beat me, there will be a great reward!"
These soldiers are still young and have not yet delved into officialdom. Now hearing Xiao Zhige say so, his blood is boiling and his hands are rubbing.
But listening to the sound of an order at the end of the other end, everyone immediately shot out like an arrow from the string, and the skates staggered and slid on the ice, as fast as a flying meteor. The officers and soldiers who robbed were originally ambitious to win over Xiao Zhige, but they did not expect that Xiao Zhige acted faster than they had expected. as soon as the sound rang, he took the lead in rushing out.
See hundreds of soldiers before, a black figure like an eagle and like a lone wolf, hunting cold wind with the corner of his clothes and hair tail, as if really returned to the high-spirited youth. Had it not been for the many tribulations of the past, Xiao Zhige, who was a teenager, would have been so wanton.
An Changqing opened her eyes wide, couldn't help standing up, grabbed her hands nervously on the railing, leaned out and stared at the shadow.
Xiao Zhige on the court was still good at it. He glanced sideways at Lingxiaolou and caught a glimpse of an Changqing. He bent the corner of his mouth, looked back at Shen Tuliang and others who were struggling to chase him, and said in a loud voice, "the Wild Goose King is waiting for me, so he won't make any more efforts with you."
As soon as he said that, he rushed toward the "GE" flag fluttering in the wind at a faster speed than before.
Shen Tu-Liang, who chased after him, was stunned and stunned. When the reaction came over, he saw that Xiao Zhige had left them a hundred paces away, and the distance was still widening.
As soon as Shen Tuliang had a Rin in his heart, he immediately concentrated and tried his best to catch up.
Xiao Zhige unexpectedly won the first place. He held the "GE" flag with a black background in his hand, and looked at the officers and soldiers behind his back. His tone was arrogant: "you are too short of me, and you still need to practice hard."
However, all the officers and soldiers present were convinced, and when they heard the words, they were even more ashamed, but the blood in their hearts was boiling endlessly: "I would like to follow in your Majesty's footsteps!" Your Majesty will not be disappointed! "
Many of them had only heard of the fierce name of the King of the Northern War before, but it was the first time that they had seen his bravery with their own eyes. However, a little ice play can be so excellent, if really on the battlefield, do not know how to shock the grace of the four sides.
Xiao Zhige took the chief with satisfaction, nodded to them slightly, and asked Han Zhang to sing and praise the officers and soldiers, while he took the flag to the Ling Xiaolou.
On the Lingxiao floor, an Changqing looked at him brightly and took the lead in saying, "it is convincing to look at your Majesty's elegant demeanor today."
"it's just a trick." In front of the courtiers, Xiao Zhige made a reserved and polite sentence, but the corners of his mouth turned up a little more. when he walked slowly in front of him, he whispered in his ear, "is this the only sentence for the Wild Goose King to say to me?"
An Changqing pursed her lips and showed a little color, but remembering his elegant demeanor just now, she still could not help being moved by it, and could not help but want him to know his mind, so she whispered, "I …". Very pleased, your Majesty. "
Xiao Zhige smiled, sat down on his side and said, "then this flag will be given to the Wild Goose King."
The courtiers did not know what they whispered, but when they saw that Xiao Zhige was happy, they all raised their glasses to congratulate each other. An Changqing took the flag, bent her eyes, and properly rolled it up to Wang Yu. Seeing this, Xiao Zhige couldn't help being distracted. He leaned over to remind: "I have won the flag for the wild goose king, but the wild goose king's reward has not been given yet.". "
An Changqing was a little hot and whispered, "what kind of reward do you want?"
Xiao Zhige only looked at him and smiled and said, "I owe it first, and I'll ask for it in a few days.". "
The man's tone was ambiguous and ambiguous, and he thought he didn't have enough water in his stomach. Just willing to lose gambling, an Changqing is not the kind of person who defaulted on his debts. He glanced up at him and said yes in a low voice.
After enjoying the ice, it was the end of the New year in a twinkling of an eye.
During the Spring Festival, all officials have a rest, but the emperor has a lot of things to do. New Year's Eve held a palace banquet, sacrificed to the temple of heaven and earth on the first day of the new year, and was congratulated by the courtiers. Many things have to be prepared in advance.
Because Xiao Zhige had no harem, the New Year's Eve palace banquet for the wife was handed over to the eldest princess. And an Changqing went to the courtier side with Xiao Zhige and drank with the courtiers.
Neither of them likes to stick to rules, and they never like extravagance and waste, so the palace banquet is much simpler than in previous years. However, singing and dancing strings are also necessary, and people are happy to drink and watch dance.
An Changqing sat beside Xiao Zhige and sat side by side with Xiao Zhige.
The courtiers now more or less know the temperament of the new emperor, knowing that although he is occasionally bad-tempered, he is not the monarch who punishes the minister at will, and even as long as you do not make mistakes and do errands well, he is actually approachable.
But even so, few people dare to go to Xiao Zhige to drink. However, the wild goose king and the emperor side by side, according to the emperor's love for the wild goose king, think it is the same to respect the wild goose king. Therefore, on the contrary, many people pay tribute to an Changqing through New year's Day congratulations.
At a palace banquet, an Changqing drank a lot of wine and turned a little red. Although he only took a sip of each toast, he drank so little that his eyes were already dim after a few drinks. He was propped up by Xiao Zhige, who was next to him, and he didn't stagger just now.
Xiao Zhige looked at his flushed, drunk-eyed appearance, somewhat pitiful and lovely. He smiled at his lower lip and told Han Zhang to replace the wine in the kettle with sober soup.
After that, someone came to make a toast, and he only drank sober soup, so he just finished the whole palace banquet.
After drinking a stomach full of sober soup, an Changqing was almost drunk, and when Xiao Zhige returned to Zhenggong, he was still muttering: "Why do they only respect me?"
Xiao Zhige smiled: "who told you to be so talkative."
"isn't that because you have a bad temper?" An Changqing said discontentedly, "they are afraid of you, so they naturally want to come to me."
Xiao Zhige's chest shook and laughed incessantly: "they are all looking forward to blowing more pillows for me."
"I don't brag." An Changqing glanced sideways at him, glowing in his eyes.
"then I'll blow it." Seeing that he had reached the Ganzheng Palace, Xiao Zhige held the man in his arms and affectionately touched his earlobe and said, "the Wild Goose King will hurt me so much.". "
An Changqing was so hot that she hurriedly got rid of his arms and could not help staring at him: "an Heng and Charmaine are still there. Please straighten up and don't teach them bad."
With that, the sleeves were advanced into the inner hall.
Tonight is New Year's Eve, the crown prince and Princess Sui Zhu also showed up at the palace banquet, but they are young. After a slight appearance, she was carried back by the nanny. When an Changqing came back, the brother and sister were a little sleepy, but they still didn't sleep.
Since they reached the age of one, they have become more and more different from ordinary children and are very precocious, and now they can understand some words. Today, Dad said that he would give them lucky money when they came back. Although they didn't know what lucky money was, they refused to go to Rest stubbornly until their father came back.
As soon as an Changqing came in, she heard Xiao Anzhu give a milky cry of "Daddy".
He answered and came forward to touch the little faces of the brother and sister: "sleepy?"
Xiao an Heng on the side gave a "hum", and his little arm had been clasped around his hand. Xiao Zhige, who came in one step later, came forward and picked up one in one hand: "if you are sleepy, go to Rest."
Xiao Anzhu disobeyed and read one after another: "hold down the money, press the money!"
She could not tell the lucky money apart, and only remembered that there was something like this, so she grabbed Xiao Zhige's hair and made a noise.
"it's all ready for you." An Changqing couldn't laugh or cry, but she didn't expect to hear a casual remark from her brother and sister. He asked Wang Yu to bring over the lucky money that had been prepared a long time ago.
The lucky money was sealed in red, and the names of brother and sister were written on it with gold powder. An Changqing put one in each of their hands, and the brother and sister were satisfied this time, clutching the red seal and giggling.
Xiao Zhige took them to the partial hall, put them on their cots, and pressed the red seal under the soft pillow in front of them, so that the sleepy brother and sister were finally coaxed into Rest.
When they fell asleep, the second person quietly left the Dian Dian.
Xiao Zhige walked slowly, holding his hand, enjoying this rare quiet moment: "this is the third year we have spent together."
After fifteen years of marriage in Qingli, a stranger became a husband; Qingli fell in love in sixteen years, in the same boat through ups and downs. In the seventeenth year of Qingli, all the dust settled, and they stood at the pinnacle of the dynasty hand in hand.
After tonight, it will be the first year of Changshun, which belongs to them.
An Changqing turned around, thinking deeply in her eyes: "I would like to spend all the years to come with you hand in hand."
Xiao Zhigezhen kissed him on the forehead with a low, hoarse and mellow voice: "as you wish."
In the main hall of the Ganzhenggong Palace, all the people in the palace have retreated, leaving only an Changqing and Xiao Zhige. The temple is burnt with ground dragons, which are warm and warm. The aroma of ambergris melts into warmth, giving rise to a sense of warm fragrance and nephrite.
An Changqing took off her hair crown, took off her heavy dress and wore only a light shirt. Xiao Zhige took a comb for him, combed it neatly and tied it up, bent down again, leaned his head against his shoulder socket and whispered, "do you still remember that you still owe me a reward?"
"Hmm?" An Changqing looked up at him slightly.
Xiao Zhige smiled and kissed him on the cheek: "now I've come to appreciate it.". "
An Changqing did not know what kind of medicine he had sold in the gourd, but at this time he mentioned that it would not be a serious thing, so he said nothing. Sure enough, he continued, "there is a warm pool in the back hall, which is hot soup boiled with spring water on the mountain." It's a beautiful day tonight. Let's try this warm pool together. "
Glancing at him again, an Changqing really couldn't figure out why this man had so many tricks. It was just that today was New Year's Eve, and he didn't want to refuse his request, so he responded lowly and got up and went to the back hall to warm the pool.
The back hall is used as a bath room, in which the dragon is burning vigorously, and the warm pool is also full of water vapor. It is obvious that the people of the palace had been ordered and prepared in advance.
As the water fog filled the pool, an Changqing approached and tried the temperature of the water. He just took off his clothes and walked slowly down the steps.
The warm pool filled his chest, and he sighed comfortably, and then he heard a noise behind him. His cheeks were a little hot, but he couldn't help looking back-Xiao Zhige, who was one step behind him, had already come in.
Xiao Zhige touched his eyes, cocked the corners of his mouth, and then began to untie his clothes.
……
On the second day, when Han Chang-lai called, Hsiao Chih-ge deeply felt that it was not unreasonable for his predecessors to say that "the bitter short day rises, and the king's deep love for his children is no longer early."
He looked at the sleepy-eyed man on his side, but he thought that he was offering sacrifices to heaven, and he really didn't want to go.
It is a pity that he is not the material to be a foolish king in the end, so he can only call an Changqing up with a hard heart, and the two change their clothes and wash together, change into dignified coronal clothes, and go to live and hold sacrifices.
On the first day of the Lunar New year, the emperors told heaven and earth and offered sacrifices to the temple. And the Wild Goose King stood side by side with him from the beginning to the end, and even the ceremony was the same.
The pilgrims had such a sense of relief when they saw this. At first, they may have privately opposed one or two, but after a period of imperceptible influence, many of them have seen the talent of the Wild Goose King, but also received the favor of him. Goodbye to this scene, unexpectedly no one came forward to say a word unreasonable. At best, it is nothing more than a sigh that your Majesty did have a premeditated plan.
It's just that at this point, it's too late to say anything else.
The emperor and the wild goose king led the hundred officials to perform all the etiquette and were worshipped by the hundred officials in the Chongzheng Hall. From this day on, the historical records were officially changed to the first year of Changshun, and an Changqing, as a side-by-side king, was listed with the emperors.
The two had been busy for almost a whole day, and when it was getting dark, they were finally able to have a rest. After the sacrifice is over, the hundred officials take a holiday, and they can also steal a few days of leisure.
An Changqing leaned against the collapse and told Xiao Zhige to rub his waist. The poor wild goose king worked hard day and night, and he could hardly bear it with a thin waist at a young age.
Xiao Zhige felt guilty, and his movements became more gentle and careful.
And the happy time will pass through such gentle fragments, come back to mind, has been out of the year.
The Yamen, which was sealed with pen and seal, began to operate again, and the folds were sent to the son of Heaven one by one.
One of the major events at the beginning of the year was that the secretary of the Honglu Temple, who had always had nothing to do, handed over two credentials. One is from Xiyi and the other is from Yuze.
In the three dynasties since Emperor Anqing, Dazhou was closed to the outside world and had little contact with other countries. As a result, Honglu Temple has become a leisure Yamen. Unexpectedly, at the beginning of the New year, Xiyi and Yuze handed over their credentials one after another.
Other people don't know, but Xiao Zhige knows that he and Xue Wuyi help each other several times, which can be regarded as a good fate. Ten years ago, heard that there had been civil strife in the palace of Xiyi. After the new year, Xiyi handed over his credentials. think it was because Xue had no clothes to ask for something.
It's just that this Yuze suddenly handed over his credentials, which really made people a little confused. Over the years, the only time they were in formal contact with Yuze was probably only when Nandi officials bought a batch of sweet potatoes like Yuze during the winter festival last year.
If the King of Rain came because of this, he would have acted too fast.
As a result, there was a lot of discussion at the Korean meeting, and they were vigilant about the purposes of the two countries, and they felt that they were uneasy and kind-hearted-- they had not had exchanges for so many years, and they suddenly submitted their credentials, and it was obvious that they had a plan to send the envoy to meet the son of the emperor.
An Changqing coincides with their ideas. He always remembers that at the end of his last life, it was King Yuze who attacked Dazu and occupied Yaojing. As for Xiyang, because there were so few contacts, he only vaguely heard people mention it a few times, saying that there was a serious struggle in the country and that there had been great chaos. No matter how detailed he was, he didn't know anything about it, but Xi Xi really didn't threaten Dazhi.
He was so vigilant about the purpose of Yuze that he could not help telling Xiao Zhige about the attack of Yuze in the previous life. Only this time he no longer pretended to dream, thinking that if Xiao Zhige came to ask, whether Thaksin or not, he would tell him the truth about his rebirth.
They have been together for three years and have had enough trust in each other.
It's just that although Xiao Zhige was silent for a while, he didn't ask him how to know it. He just rubbed his finger and said, "there is a secret that I don't know."
An Changqing grabbed his hand and looked calmly: "this is the only secret. Do you want to hear it?"
Who knew that Xiao Zhige shook his head and said, "I always think this secret won't be too good. Would you like to talk about it?"
Unexpectedly, he was so sharp. An Changqing turned his head and thought about it carefully. They had too many regrets in their last life. Instead, they shook his head and said, "it's really not very good. I don't want to say it."
Xiao Zhige rubbed the top of his hair and Wensheng said, "then I won't talk about it."
An Changqing bent her eyes and smiled and put the credentials sent by Yuze on the table: "then let's talk about Yuze. Why do you think Yuze suddenly handed over credentials?"
"although Otsuka's national strength is now a little weak, it is not time for it to fall apart." Xiao Zhige tapped his fingers on the credentials: "I heard that this King of Rain is a wise man. I don't think he will go to war with Dawei as you just said."
If it were not for the plot to expand the territory, there would be only two possibilities.
First, they really want to establish diplomatic relations and exchange trade with Dazu-- but although the rain is small, the soil and water is fertile and rich. The exchange of commerce and trade has not been mentioned for such a long time, and now the sudden desire to establish diplomatic relations is open to question.
Another possibility is that Yuze, like Xiyang, wants something from them. It's just that they won't know what they want until the envoy arrives in Beijing.
After some discussion between Xiao Zhige and an Changqing, he felt that instead of secretly guessing, it would be better to wait for the other party to send an envoy to discuss the matter openly, but they could not reach an agreement, and they did not need to be afraid of a little rain.
At the imperial meeting the next day, Xiao Zhige made a decision in public and asked Honglu Temple to draw up credentials and send them to Xili and Yuze respectively. He welcomed the envoys of the two countries to come to Dacheng and exchange needed goods with each other.
