The emperor's car came from Yuanzhou, but it will arrive in Yunzhou in half a month.
They have found the prince, but facing a prince who is unwilling to assume his identity, Le Zhengying is still very worried about his friend.
For several days, Xuan Jingchen went to invite Zhong Lishuo to return to the court many times, but he returned without success.
In the face of such a prince, how could Xuan Jingchen be sent to the emperor. Le Zhengying knew that before the emperor arrived in Yunzhou, they had to make Zhong Lishuo put on the long-prepared uniform.
For the sake of his friends, Le Zhengying urged Xuan Jingchen every day to go to the temple to invite the great god.
In this regard, Zhong Lishuo adopted the strategy of using soldiers to block the water and cover the soil, pushing and refusing to treat the opponent coldly for several days. Zhong Lishuo never saw the opponent again during the day.
But I never thought that Xuan Jingchen still came at night.
The plague in Yunzhou has been raging for more than a month, and today another group can't survive and go to Guixu. Zhong Lishuo followed the Taiyi people to the river to see off the dead, and only returned to the temple when night fell.
This time the plague is raging, and Yunzhou City is mostly people who have just returned to their homes and soldiers who help rebuild. Those who caught the plague were driven to the corners of the city to be healed.
In this ruined temple, there are mostly injured and sick people infected with the plague.
After Zhong Lishuo escaped from the minions of the King of Zhongzhou, he was sheltered by a Taiyiguan in Yunzhou city.
But that day, Xuan Jingchen knelt in front of the temple and completely lifted the normality she had painted up. Even if she resisted and refused to recognize her, the patients and Taoists who were treating her in the view of Chinese medicine looked at her with a kind of respect that seemed to be absent.
She was even more afraid because Xuan Jingchen arranged here to guard her soldiers.
Zhong Lishuo always thought that her life began when she arrived in Yunzhou at the age of eight. She never thought that there would be a day when she could return to Yuanzhou, just as she never thought that the King of Zhongzhou would rebel and peel off the colorful clothes called Shengshi that covered the Chu State.
This state of Chu, who was singing and dancing, was full of joy, has changed since then.
The incense of Taiyimen became more and more prosperous, Shengjing became more and more prosperous, and the city of Yunzhou was full of joy. But after escaping from the city where she was intoxicated with money, what she saw was a depression.
The land is desolate, the houses collapsed, the faces of the people are numb, and there is only some color when facing the gods.
Fourteen-year-old Zhong Lishuo has always lived in a powerful state of Chu. It was only after the age of fourteen that Zhong Lishuo knew about such a disguised dream in the state of Chu.
She heard people say that officials and local tyrants oppressed the common people, she heard people say that some people can use money to buy officials, she heard people say that a few years ago, because the court could not give money and food, the school buildings in the town were closed.
All of this is because the commander of the emperor's side was swiftly ordered. Instead of thinking about the people, they offer sacrifices every day, pray to the gods, and spend money like dirt.
Therefore, the king of Zhongzhou reversed.
Before the king of Zhongzhou rebelled, the people could still survive on one-third of an acre. After the king of Zhongzhou rebelled, no one could live in such a barren land.
Therefore, after the king of Zhongzhou rebelled, many young men and women were recruited in the three states he occupied, and the taxes were increased, and the people's livelihood became more and more difficult.
This is a troubled world, and it is the people below who suffer. If the top beats you to the death, it doesn't matter if the people below live or die.
Whenever he is fighting in the world, Taiyiguan always has to go down the mountain to see off the people who died in vain.
Sad how difficult people's lives are.
A life without respite and color is so hopeless.
In such a world, death is liberation.
But one still has to dream.
Life is the gift of the Eastern Emperor. No one is born in this world to suffer, but the world is so difficult and dangerous, how can we live happily
Zhong Lishuo thought of what his mother said more than once, that as a human being, he should live with dignity. This dignity includes the freedom to live in the world and the dignified death of the world.
But thinking about the people who died in front of her, which one is decent enough
She is a member of the Chu royal family, a descendant of the Eastern Emperor, and all the people in the world are her compatriots. But you see, even if she has been on the street for two years, she will not be able to suffer at all.
But her compatriots are living in dire straits.
This world is clearly the world of everyone, why are their circumstances so different. Just because of her princes and nobles, are they walking on grass
It is clear that the world is not benevolent and treats all things as cud dogs.
The government of Chu State was in chaos, the superiors were unclear, and the inferiors held up and oppressed the people. Zhong Lishuo knew that as a prince, he would return to Yuanzhou City as long as he was still alive. But what should she do when she returns to Yuanzhou City
Will the country of Chu, which has eroded its foundations, get better by herself
Should he bury his head in the street and be an ordinary person who turns a deaf ear, or should he return to Yuanzhou and use his power to uproot the rotten roots
Zhong Lishuo struggled with this choice for a long time.
She is a prince who has not received an orthodox education and knows nothing about the troubled court. She is also a cowardly person, full of worries about the slim way ahead.
After the emperor issued an edict to make her the crown prince, she knew that one day she would be found. But until he met Xuan Jingchen, Zhong Lishuo still had no choice.
On this day, Xuan Jingchen did not come to her. Zhong Lishuo, who has been troubled for several days, can finally make a good choice.
It was a moonless night, and dim lamps were lit in the crowded temple. The summer insects and the patients' coughs and groans came together, creating another kind of peace in the heart of the night.
Zhong Lishuo sat in front of the temple with his back facing the dim lights in the temple, holding his cheeks and looking at the dark temple in front of the hall.
She can't run away, Zhong Lishuo thought.
There is no face to escape, because this is the responsibility she should take.
Zhong Lishuo gave two conditions to convince himself. So she got up, clapped her hands, and prepared to go back to sleep. Tomorrow, she would carry her jade pendant to recognize her ancestors.
The moment he turned around, the quiet sound of horse hooves reached his ears from far and near. Zhong Lishuo's heart skipped a beat, and when he turned around, he saw a gleam of light appearing in front of him.
After a while, a horse came into view.
Zhong Lishuo raised his eyes and saw Xuan Jingchen who was sitting right away.
Xuan Jingchen was still here today, which surprised Zhong Lishuo. Before waiting for the other party to speak, Zhong Lishuo said before the other party dismounted and saluted, "Please, the general, wait for me for a while."
She did not bow to Xuan Jingchen as usual. Xuan Jingchen stood beside the horse, wearing the clean clothes he just put on, made a promise, and waited quietly for Zhong Lishuo to return.
After a while, Zhong Lishuo came out with a suitcase on his back.
With her back to the light, she walked to Xuan Jingchen step by step, stood still, spread her palms, and said, "Although the general is convinced, Shuo doesn't want the general to have any doubts, this is Shuo's sapphire..."
Before he could finish speaking, a pain surged from his heart to his head, Zhong Lishuo stumbled, his eyes darkened, and his body fell.
With a click, Qing Yu fell to the ground. Quickly, Xuan Jingchen took Zhong Lishuo into his arms, and his face changed dramatically.
Zhong Lishuo fainted in front of the temple, Xuan Jingchen called a doctor for diagnosis and treatment, and received a diagnosis caused by overwork.
Thinking of what Zhong Lishuo had said to her earlier, and considering the environment here, Xuan Jingchen brought the prince back to Yunzhou City.
So, the prince who was living on the street was finally found.
The next day, when Zhong Lishuo woke up, he knew that he had committed his old problem again. Looking at the unfamiliar place in front of her, she knew that she had arrived at Xuan Jingchen's place.
Zhong Lishuo sat in the tent and woke up for a while before calling the maid.
After being served for a long time and dressed neatly, Zhong Lishuo rubbed his pale face with blood, waiting for Xuan Jingchen's arrival.
Sure enough, after a while, Xuan Jingchen, who was wearing silver armor, came to greet him: "Yesterday, His Highness was unwell and passed out. Wei Chen passed over and brought His Highness back."
Zhong Lishuo bowed his hands in salute, "Thank you General for your help, Shuo is very grateful. I don't know if General has eaten, so stay and accompany Shuo for a meal."
Her eyes were earnest, and Xuan Jingchen understood that she probably wanted to stay. Without any doubts, Xuan Jingchen responded.
After the two had breakfast together, Zhong Lishuo coughed lightly and said, "I don't know if the general will be free today. Shuo wants to ask the general for advice on something."
"His Royal Highness, but it's okay to talk." Xuan Jingchen sat in front of Zhong Lishuo and looked at the young and beautiful monarch wrapped in a brocade suit with a serious expression.
Zhong Lishuo kept his spirits strong and said, "I heard that your Majesty will go south to Yunzhou, and you will arrive in less than half a month. I left home at a young age, and many personnel in Yuanzhou city are not clear. I don't know if the general can be a general, and tell me about the accompanying officials. "
If she wants to go back to Yuanzhou, if she wants to plan something, she must know enough about the personnel there.
Moreover, the general who is sitting in front of the world's soldiers and horses is also the object she should win over.
Xuan Jingchen was startled, and immediately reflected Zhong Lishuo's true purpose. Although I don't know why this seemingly indifferent His Royal Highness finally wanted to return to the whirlpool of power overnight, Xuan Jingchen still answered Zhong Lishuo's doubts one by one.
Because Xuan Jingchen still had important things to do, Zhong Lishuo agreed with her that he would come to disturb her after dinner every day. After sending Xuan Jingchen away, the gentleman who came to check Zhong Lishuo's pulse arrived again.
Seeing Qing Lan again, Zhong Lishuo had a rare happy smile on his face.
"I told the young master that we will see each other again if we have fate, don't you think that fate will come?" Qing Lan smiled and motioned for Zhong Lishuo to stretch out her hand and put her three fingers on her pulse.
"I thought that I would only meet you in the kingdom of God in the future, but I never thought that your husband was actually in General Xuan's tent." Zhong Lishuo withdrew his hand at Qing Lan's gesture and said, "Mr. I was also lost for a while. Mr. Fang is an outsider, but I never thought that the commander who assisted the general in recent years was Mr.
"I don't know, sir, but have you returned to the Superintendent of Heaven?"
Qing Lan smiled slightly and replied, "Yes, for His Highness, the Taoist Supervisor Tiansi is on duty again."
"Oh?" Zhong Lishuo was surprised and said, "Why do you say it's for me?"
Qing Lan laughed, "Because His Highness is back, this makes me curious. I am also curious, what will His Highness's state of Chu look like?"
"I don't want to be the superintendent of the Heavenly Division. If His Highness is the emperor in the future, I would be interested in being the superintendent of the world."
She smiled and said softly: "Didn't I tell His Highness long ago, His Highness is a child who will return to the kingdom of God."
As soon as the words fell, Zhong Lishuo understood that she probably had the first help in the courtroom.
