Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

It has been a day and a night, and Su Mu has been writing without sleep.

As for Zhu Houzhao, who was also kneeling beside him, he didn't say a word, but he brought a Buddhist scripture from somewhere, clasped his hands together, and chanted silently.

As soon as Su Mu stopped, he suddenly raised his head and looked at him fiercely with bright eyes: "Is it finished?"

This expression was so strange, Su Mu shook his head silently, and picked up the pen again.As if overnight, Zhu Houzhao changed from a child to an adult.

Every time he finished writing, Su Mu would immediately go to the hospital bed and recite aloud.

At the beginning, Hongzhi didn't respond, but when he came to Hongzhi for the third time, a sharp-eyed eunuch screamed: "Long live God woke up, and his fingers moved."

"It moved."

Su Mu was startled, and looked intently, only to see that the movement of the right index finger of Emperor Hongzhi was very strange, as if he was writing.

He hurriedly put the emperor's finger on his palm, and said: "Your Majesty, if you have something to say, just write it in the palm of my hand?"

Emperor Hongzhi nodded with his index finger, and then slowly began to write in Su Mu's palm.

Zhu Houzhao: "Su Mu, what did the emperor say?"

"It's nothing."

"How is it possible, bold!" Zhu Houzhao roared through gritted teeth.

As soon as Su Mu turned around and ran out of the Nuan Pavilion, he just stood in the snow, looked up at the hazy sky, tears streaming down silently.

Just now Emperor Hongzhi wrote three words on his palm: "Thank you!"

But he couldn't do anything, he could only say from the bottom of his heart: "Come on!"

……

"Yes, yes, my son understands, understands!"

Zhu Houzhao's voice came from inside.

After a while, the prince came out alone, with tears still on his face.

There was no one around, he suddenly said: "Good brother, thank you!"

"what?"

"Zi Qiao, thank you for everything you have done for my father. My father has written to me just now. He said, your day and night..." The prince choked up and said, "My father said that you have not seen me for a while. I went home, and I planned to give you a day off, but the book is really interesting. Father wants to wait until Third Sister You marries Liu Erlang before allowing you to go out."

Prince: "Su Mu, how many words are there?"

"There are about [-] words left. I'm staying up all night tonight."

"I'll accompany you!" Zhu Houzhao.

***********************************************

It is already the evening of the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and the northwest wind blows like a gust.

Yingtai is located between Zhonghai and Nanhai, right at the mouth of the wind. At night, the sound of the wind is like roaring raging waves, and the whole world seems to be shaken by the bombardment.

Looking out from the window, the sky is full of rolled up snow particles.

This snow is the biggest one this year.

I have been up for two days and one night, and my fingers are cramping from holding the pen for a long time.

Su Mu trembled on Zhou Yi, and the pen fell to the ground.

Seeing that his hand was trembling like a chicken paw, he patted it hard a few times, but he couldn't recover.

Looking back, there was no one in the room except Zhu Houzhao lying on a table, snoring lightly.

The kid was exhausted too.

He has been staying here since last night, and he didn't know who he heard it from. He actually got a box of gold powder, pierced his tongue, and copied a piece of the "Diamond Sutra" over and over again in blood. The emperor prayed, and I don't know how many times I copied it.

Up to now, there is still a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth.

After all, he was a child, and after suffering for such a long time, he couldn't bear it under the agitation of his mind.

Seeing his appearance, Su Mu suddenly felt distressed.It's not because of anything else, it's purely a friendship between friends. He will lose his father when he is less than 15 years old. If it is in modern society, children of this age are still acting like a baby in the arms of their parents.And he, perhaps in two days' time, will become the king of this huge empire, shouldering heavy responsibilities.

The carefree days are coming to an end.

Unable to disturb Zhu Houzhao, Su Mu quietly walked to the stove, poured a basin of hot water, wrapped his right hand in a hot towel and scalded it for a long time before stretching out his palm. ,

I was about to go back to continue writing, but when I looked back, I saw Emperor Hongzhi coming out at some point, covering his son with a cotton robe.

I saw his smile all over his face, and his smile was very stretched. At this moment, he has completely turned into a loving father who dotes on his children.

"Your Majesty..." Su Mu let out a bad cry, and cold sweat soaked through all his clothes.

Just as he was about to call, Emperor Hongzhi turned his head swiftly, shook his head at him, and pointed to his son, signaling not to disturb his sleep.

Then, he pointed outside again, and walked out leisurely with his hands behind his back.

Su Mu immediately understood that it was the last moment for Emperor Hongzhi.

Not talking nonsense, he grabbed the unfinished manuscript on the case and went outside the house in just a few steps.

But Hongzhi was only wearing a spacious robe, hunting and flying in the north, as if he was about to fly into the sky.

"His Majesty."

However, Hongzhi let out a clear whistle, and chanted: "As long as a reed is like, Ling Wanqing is at a loss. The vastness is like Feng Xu riding the wind, but he doesn't know where it stops; the fluttering is like leaving the world alone, becoming a fairy and becoming a fairy! Good! It's cool, so refreshing, I feel more comfortable than ever before, as if the disease has completely recovered!"

Su Mu stepped forward, bowed his body, and raised the manuscript above his head with both hands: "Chen Su Mu, I have finished writing the story of Third Sister You, and submit it to the imperial examination!"

"So fast, give it to me!" Emperor Hongzhi exclaimed in surprise, snatched it up, then glanced greedily, but stopped.

"Your Majesty." Su Mu looked at him carefully.

"Forget it, don't read it!" Hong Zhi suddenly let go of his hand, and the wind blew the ten or so pages of the manuscript up into the sky, like a flock of white pigeons flying up and down, disappearing on the vast surface of Zhongnanhai.

Then, he laughed loudly: "Why bother to watch, why bother to watch? Actually, I also know it in my heart, with Liu Erlang's uncompromising personality, I don't want to go back on my word, and Third Sister You is stubborn, this matter will definitely not be successful. Instead of watching it, it will only increase your melancholy, if you don't watch it, it's better to keep it in mind."

Su Mu's eyes turned red, and tears kept falling.

"Don't cry, don't cry, it's useless to cry. Life and death are common things, like the flowers that bloom beautifully in summer, but there will always be a day of withering. This is the cycle of the sun and the moon, and the cycle of heaven."

"His Majesty!"

"Don't say anything, I know what you want to say." Emperor Hongzhi shook his head: "I'm tired and don't want to think about anything. Of course there will be people behind me. I have been worrying about it all my life, but at this moment I suddenly realized, Today, I want to ignore it."

He shook his sleeves and sat on a rock, and smiled at Su Mu: "I have read your book for so long, and I have listened to you tell the story of the past few days, thank you very much. Now, it is my turn to tell the story, you listen .”

"That is to say, once upon a time, there was a prince whose mother was an ordinary court lady, who was so ordinary that she got the blessing of the emperor by chance and broke the dragon fetus. However, the mistress in the palace is A vicious woman, as long as a court lady is pregnant with a dragon seed, she will kill her... Later, after the prince was born, he was secretly raised in the palace by kind people until... the emperor never knew that he had a son , he was already very old, and one day when he remembered that he was going to be extinct, he sighed and shed tears, saying, "I am so old that I don't even have an heir. What mistake did I make? God, why are you punishing me like this?" My ah', at this time, a eunuch knelt on the ground and cried loudly, 'Your Majesty, you have a son.'..."

"Later, the emperor and the prince reunited. It was a perfect ending, Su Mu, don't you think so?"

Su Mu remained silent.

The emperor still smiled: "However, the eunuch committed suicide inexplicably later, and the prince's mother was also killed. This is power, and things like power have distorted people's hearts. In fact, the Tian Family It is the cruelest and most ungrateful place in the world. Therefore, I have let the prince play around since I was a child... That is because I am the prince in the story, and I have lived in danger of death since I was a child. Enjoy a day of happiness. Others have childhood, but I can only endure..."

The voice gradually decreased until it was inaudible.

The wind stopped, and the snow kept falling, piled on Emperor Hongzhi's head and shoulders.
