A few days later, the winter solstice came. It was the most solemn festival in Yongdi, and it was also the year of Yongguo.
The whole city was covered in silver and barely recovered from the wounds of the war. The people suppressed their mourning for the death of their loved ones, forced their faces to laugh, and began to celebrate the shortest day of the year.
Jiang Heng doesn't care much about the upcoming proton life. The most important thing is still the reform. He accelerated the speed of deliberation. He must finish all government affairs on the next day of the winter solstice, and he is very busy. It was not until the last night before the festival that he finished sorting out all the files, totaling 1,126 volumes.
"Father, seeing this," Geng Shu said, "will definitely hate you to death."
"He doesn't know how to watch it," Jiang Heng said. "It wasn't meant to be shown to him."
Prince Taki looked at the reform volume in front of the case, and the entire Eastern Palace assembled, standing in front of the scrolls stacked on the imperial case.
Jiang Heng suggested: "The decree must outlive people, shall we worship it?"
Zeng Rong and the others all laughed, so Prince Taki took the lead and led the advisors of the Eastern Palace, knelt down, and bowed three times to the 1,126-volume document.
Then, Jiang Heng raised his hand again and gave Zeng Rong a high five. He has been working with the chief of the East Palace for the longest time in a few months, and has the most arguments, but he felt everyone's belief in the future here. determination. What makes him most happy is that everyone in the East Palace is very young, which means that they are more vigorous and energetic than Shikoku.
"The rest will be left to you." Jiang Heng knew that monitoring the implementation of the decree was not an easy task.
"Don't worry, take care of yourself in the south." Zeng Rong said.
Then, everyone bowed to Jiang Heng again. Jiang Heng looked at some people and some documents and felt a sense of relief.
Geng Shu handed over all the military affairs, and he was relieved. When he entered the East Palace, he raised his eyebrows at Jiang Heng and said: What are you doing
"It's done!" Jiang Heng said with a smile, "Go out and play!"
Today, he was going to take a good stroll around Yongdu, and he immediately jumped and rode on Geng Shu's back. Seeing that he finally had a chance, Geng Shu immediately carried him and ran away.
"Brother!" Prince Taki rushed out and shouted, "I'll go with you too!"
Without turning his head, Geng Shu said, "You have a lot to do today, so you can't play!"
At the dawn of the winter solstice, the royal family is so busy that their feet are not touching the ground. The Ju family must first sacrifice to the ancestral temple, and then the prince will come forward, hold a banquet to entertain the ministers, receive the heads of the gentry, comfort the children of the nobles of the three ethnic groups, and take a look at the East Palace. , and then go out to meet the people.
After Juicong put on Wang Kai and made a simple appearance to stabilize people's hearts, he handed over all the remaining matters to the prince, which caused the prince Taki to be busy from morning to night and could not leave. It also hinted a clear signal to the court and the opposition that soon most of the power in the country will be officially handed over to the East Palace in the new year, and the time point is limited by reform.
As for what Juicong does by himself? He is not at all worried about the power falling by the wayside. From this point of view, he is very self-aware. He does not like governing the country, but only wants to fight. The battlefield is the place he is familiar with. Lao Tzu is in charge of the country, and his son is in charge of the country in the rear, so that is what Ju Cong wants most of Yong Kingdom.
Luoyan Fourth Street is all open today, the wartime curfew is lifted, foreigners are allowed to enter and leave the capital at will, and participate in the snow lantern fair tonight. It is rare to have sunny weather. When night falls, the whole city will eat the hot soup of the winter solstice, and the whole city will burn firecrackers together at Zishi, with the arrival of the new year, to celebrate the lengthening of the days again. .
The people put on their best clothes, and the city was full of foreigners, wrestling, wrestling, and wrestling.
This year, there are more people coming to Luoyan, and there is no limit to Juicong. Quan should thank the diligent king of the three clans. It was unprecedented in the past years, and it was the greatest event of the Yong Kingdom's century.
Jiang Heng was wrapped in his lynx fur, while Geng Shu was wearing a wolfskin jacket and a hat with a ring of Feng Rongren. His dark eyes were as clear as stars. Today, they returned to their ordinary people's attire and infiltrated the vast carnival in the city.
"It's so lively," Jiang Heng said. "It's so lively, even more prosperous than Luoyang back then."
Geng Shu said: "In the past years, it was not so lively. This year, I don't know why, but all of a sudden I went crazy."
Jiang Heng saw a lot of people walking through the market and chanting Lin Hu people. Lin Hu people are all born singers. Saibei has been around for many years and has never heard this song.
"There must be a lot of news about the reform," Jiang Heng said.
Many cities and countries are ushering in a new life. The East Palace has handled a lot of details of the reform, and it is impossible not to leak rumors. The three clans are very clear that their hard days will finally come to an end when Prince Taki begins to rule.
"What would you like to eat?" Geng Shu sat down at the market and said, "When I was a soldier, I used to take time out of my busy schedule, and I used to come to this house to eat shackles."
Bingtuo, also known as hot noodle soup, is the most common food for Yong people in winter. Jiang Heng sat down with him and said, "I'm still in the army now, as if I'm old."
Geng Shu laughed. For several months, Jiang Heng rarely saw Geng Shu smile.
There were many children around the two, so Jiang Heng took out the five-color flower candy from the East Palace and distributed it to them. The flower candy was made like a crystal, which immediately caused a sensation.
"No more!" Jiang Heng was immediately surrounded.
"I still have." Geng Shu hadn't eaten yet, so he kept it for Jiang Heng, and took it out and scattered it.
"Two highnesses, please take your time." The shopkeeper brought the shackles and drove the children away.
Geng Shu's face was a little uncomfortable, as if he was covering up something.
Jiang Heng knew as soon as he heard it that Geng Shu must have brought Prince Taki before. Everyone saw him by Geng Shu's side, and it was easy to recognize the wrong person. It can be seen that they were inseparable for a while, and Geng Shu was always worried. For fear that Jiang Heng would turn his back on him because of jealousy.
"Hot," Geng Shu didn't move the spoon, looked at Jiang Heng, and said, "Eat slowly."
Jiang Heng was about to scoop up the fish fillet to taste. Seeing Geng Shu staring at him, he joked, "Has your brother been scalded?"
Geng Shu: "..."
Jiang Heng is very funny. On weekdays, he likes to watch Geng Shu being squeezed by himself, but he didn't expect Geng Shu to be angry today and frowned, "You... Forget it!"
"You're angry?" Jiang Heng said, "I'm just joking."
Geng Shu turned his head, with resentment in his eyes, a look of hesitating to speak.
Jiang Heng: "???"
Geng Shu shook his head and said, "It's nothing, just eat."
Jiang Heng was in a good mood today, cheerful, and didn't notice Geng Shu's thoughts. The two were silent for a while, and Jiang Heng turned to look at the lively scene in the market. The Feng Rong people brought their goods and new gadgets, and they used bird whistles to attract business.
"Compared to the day I first arrived, it seems to be really different." Jiang Heng said to Geng Shu.
Geng Shu always looked at Jiang Heng's side face, but when Jiang Heng turned his head, he immediately looked away unnaturally.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Heng was inexplicable, still angry for his casual words
Geng Shu said seriously: "Heng'er, I think you are very good here."
Jiang Heng looked dazed, then realized that Geng Shu meant that he was like a duck to water in Yongdu, he not only displayed his ambitions, but also changed the country, and immediately laughed.
"Sometimes, I think I'm the superfluous one." Geng Shu turned his face away and said to himself.
When Jiang Heng heard this, his face suddenly changed and he said, "How come? What are you thinking, brother?"
Geng Shu realized that he said something he shouldn't have said, and quickly changed his words: "It's nothing, I'll just complain, ignore me, it'll be fine in a while."
Jiang Heng immediately understood that he had been accompanying Geng Shu too little recently, and Geng Shu always cared about him, but he had too many things to do, too many people to deal with, so he was assigned to Geng Shu. There is only so much time in the dawn.
"Brother," Jiang Heng sat down and said, "I'm sorry, brother."
Jiang Heng wanted to hold Geng Shu's hand, but for the first time, Geng Shu had a subconscious idea of avoiding him. He could no longer treat Jiang Heng as he always did.
"No," Geng Shu immediately clarified, "it's my fault, it's my fault... um. Heng'er, you didn't do anything wrong."

He still couldn't help holding Jiang Heng's hand, he stared blankly at Jiang Heng's face, and suddenly wanted to kiss his lips, but the thought generated by the kiss was different from the past. Every time is different.
Jiang Heng used to be like a part of his body, like his left hand on the back of his right hand, or his lips touching the palm of his hand. No matter what they did, Geng Shu never thought of going anywhere else.
However, at this moment, Geng Shu's heart was beating fast for some reason.
Jiang Heng looked blank, raised his hand and waved in front of Geng Shu.
"I said that it will be very busy for a while," Jiang Heng said. "It's fine after that. Isn't it the same when you first came?"
"Oh," Geng Shu recalled and said, "You still remember, but at that time I only had myself."
Geng Shu once told Jiang Heng about the days when he first arrived in Yongdu, which was a great test for him. Although he became a prince, he needed to prove himself in all aspects. All are challenges. It took him nearly a year to get his hands on the army and gain his trust.
During that year, he tried hard not to think about anything, let the busyness soak through his body, and became an empty body that only knew how to obey orders.
Jiang Heng heard the Lin Hu people singing outside, so he moved over, lay in Geng Shu's arms, took his hand, and hugged himself.
"Just go to the south." Jiang Heng raised his hand and touched Geng Shu's face. Geng Shu blushed. Unlike before, his whole body froze.
The restaurant is semi-open-air, with braziers placed next to the tables. It is bustling with people coming and going, and many people are tired of playing and resting here. Sitting across from them were two young men of Di Ren, as if there was no one else around, just like a couple, they were talking with a low laugh, their ears rubbed together, and their appearance was extremely ambiguous.
Geng Shu put his arms around Jiang Heng, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, because he had never had one before.
He was stunned for a while, put one hand on Jiang Heng's waist, and touched the scar on his waist through the clothes.
After Jiang Heng finished eating, looking at him, Geng Shu simply ate it and said, "Go for a walk on the street."
"What are you buying this for?"
At the market, Geng Shu saw Jiang Heng holding two red ropes, making a comparison.
"I'll give you a new tassle." Jiang Heng put his hand on Geng Shu's neck, his fingers were cold, and he took out his Yujue. The red rope has been used for eleven years and has long since faded. Wearing it for marching battles, training troops and horses, it soaked a lot of sweat, but as long as he has time, he will wash the jade and red rope very clean.
"No need," Geng Shu said, "That's fine."
Jiang Heng said, "If you wear one, the color will fade."
Geng Shu said: "Do things like a girl."
Jiang Heng said inexplicably: "So what's the matter? You can lead troops to fight, and of course I can weave red rope at home."
Geng Shu suddenly felt amused, but he said it well. But every time he sees Jiang Heng doing some meticulous work, the image of him in women's clothes always comes to his mind, and there is a strange feeling in his heart that is hard to vent, and he can't help but want to pat him or touch his head.
Jiang Heng has always looked like a boy, and he is not lacking in his handsome youthful temperament. He is a serious and handsome man, but Geng Shu always thinks in that way for some reason.
"Diren like to weave red ropes," Jiang Heng smiled at Geng Shu. "They think they can tie the people they like with red ropes. I'll tie one for you too."
Geng Shu replied, "I've been chained by you since I was a child, can you still escape?"
Before leaving Dongshi, a group of Feng Rong people were having a snowball fight. Jiang Heng watched it for fun. Geng Shu told him to go quickly, but Jiang Heng, intentionally or not, leaned over and was smashed by a snowball.
"Hey!" Geng Shu was instantly angry, he blocked Jiang Heng behind him, and started to fight back. The Qun Fengrong people were all defenders of Yubi Pass, and they came back with Jue Ling from the army. They recognized him immediately and stopped.
Juicy dressed in men's clothing, and didn't want to stay in the palace for much longer, so she came out to play in a sullen mood, caught a glimpse of Geng Shu and Jiang Heng, and immediately shouted, "The prince has a reward, don't let them go!"
Geng Shu had never been able to take this aunt. Seeing that he couldn't escape, a snowball was thrown like a shooting star and landed on Ju Ling's head.
Bai Xue flew up and down, Jiang Heng didn't dare to move, for fear of getting involved in the wound, so he could only hide behind Geng Shu and shout loudly. At first, Geng Shu threw a few snowballs just because Jiang Heng wanted to join in the fun. At this time, he wanted to leave, so he shouted, "Stop playing! Heng'er's injury is still not healed..."
"Don't worry about Mr. Jiang!" Jue Lingfei got on a high place and stood on the top of King Yong's monument, commanding, "Aim for the prince!"
A snowball hit like a storm, Geng Shu told Jiang Heng to run first, but Jiang Heng never retreated and hid behind him.
In an instant, the situation turned into Geng Shu alone facing thousands of troops, but he was fearless. I saw that he was blocking Jiang Heng behind him.
"Don't be afraid!" Geng Shu turned around and said, "I'm here!"
"What are you serious about?" Jiang Heng was suddenly dumbfounded. The two of them were stunned by the snowball. There was snow all over Geng Shu's body and head.
At that moment, Jiang Heng suddenly felt a little sore in his nose again.
