Back to Tang Dynasty to be Emperor

"Old Yang, where is the girl delivering the letter, is she still there?" Li Ke asked Yang En a very idiotic question in surprise.

"She gave the letter to the guard outside the door and left without saying a word." Yang En asked puzzledly, "Your Highness, is there something wrong with the letter?"

"It's okay." Seeing Yang En's nervous expression, Li Ke asked, "Let's go to the study to talk." Then he ignored the puzzled Yang En and went to the study.Hearing that Li Ke said he was fine, Yang En didn't explain his problem, so he didn't say much, and followed him to the study.

"Old Yang, you take out 3 guan from the treasury, and give 1 guan to Qianniuwei, and ask them to compensate the 800 soldiers who died in the battle with this king in Mobei this time, and the remaining [-] guan Send it to Zhang Gongjin, the governor of Daizhou, and ask him to distribute it to the three hundred guards who died in Mobei." Li Ke said when Yang En closed the door of the study, and then he saw a painful expression on his face , It’s all because of my misconduct, otherwise more than [-] people would not have just died in Mobei. "Hey!" He sighed and continued, "It's almost the end of the year. These soldiers left their lives in Mobei for the king, but what about their families? Their families heard that their son, their husband How will you feel when you die in Mobei? It’s almost the end of the year, and this king doesn’t have much money to give them, although each family member can only get forty guan, it’s also a little bit of my love for them.”

"Your Highness! This matter is not your fault, and no one will stand idly by when encountering such a thing." Yang En knew that Li Ke blamed himself for offending Schroeder and causing the death of more than 800 guards in Mobei, and blamed himself. Then he enlightened, "What's more, Your Highness went to Turkic to negotiate for the people of the Tang Dynasty, how could he be insulted by a little Zuo Xianwang. Therefore, it is their honor for the lost soldiers of the Tang Dynasty in Mobei to fight for His Highness." , Why is Your Highness so sad?"

"Old Yang, Qianniuwei's compensation money will be handed over to Qianniuwei Zhonglang General Li Xianzhong. This king sees him as an upright person, so there will be no problem entrusting this matter to him." Li Ke didn't want to entangle Yang En about this matter, so he He continued, "Daizhou's compensation money must also be sent to the families of the fallen soldiers at the end of the year. Let Zhu Tong take this matter."

"No," Yang En responded, "I will do it now, this old servant."

"En" Li Ke waved his hand, "Go, the sooner the better."

"The old slave will leave." Yang Gen bowed and left the study.

When Yang En walked out of the study and closed the door from the outside, Li Ke took out the sachet that Changsun Bingning gave him when he left Chang'an from the drawer, stared at it intently for a moment, and put the sachet on his waist .Then, he took out the letter Yang En wrote to his eldest grandson Bingning, and glanced at the last signed sentence: At noon tomorrow, we will meet on the broken bridge.He couldn't help but smiled knowingly, "I don't know if I haven't seen you in a year, have you changed?" Then, he showed a look of longing, and he was looking forward to meeting his eldest grandson Bingning's Weishui at noon tomorrow.

The longest time in the world is not 1 years, but I know you are there, but I have to wait to meet you.

When Li Ke saw the letter from Changsun Bingning again, the excitement in his heart made him hard to suppress, just like the gushing spring water was hard to control.He himself didn't know why he had such strong feelings for his eldest grandson Bingning.Could it be because she was the first woman he fell in love with?or?When Li Ke thought of this, he suddenly found that his thoughts were in a mess.The first is the indelible affection that grandson Bingning gave her, then Hou Ruoyi's deep affection that makes her fall in love hard to extricate herself, and the Turkic Ashinayun's admiration behind her impulsive admiration for fame.All of this is because of the woman, what happened to me, why can't I escape the shackles of my feelings?He gave a wry smile, and his thoughts couldn't help but return to the scene where they met by the Weishui River when he was sending the horse to his eldest grandson Bingning.The eldest grandson Bingning, with eyes so affectionate enough to melt herself, and then she thought of what she said to herself when she left Chang'an: the sachet I made for the first time is also the first sachet I made, and I will only give it to myself man.Thinking of this, Li Ke involuntarily touched the sachet on his waist, then sighed slightly.Why doesn't he know how much grandson Bingning has for him? However, how should he deal with the embarrassing identities between the two of them?He didn't know what kind of mentality he should use to face her tomorrow?Facing this woman who fled to Jiangnan for love, and was caught in a dilemma because of love.

However, thinking that he would not be able to meet her until noon tomorrow, he felt that the remaining time was so long.

Long night, hard to sleep!

The next day, Li Ke practiced martial arts as usual, then had breakfast, then read and practice calligraphy in the study, and when the time came to noon, he ordered Wang Zhongchang to prepare chariots and horses.

Chen Qi in the black guard was not injured in Lingzhou, Hou Hu and Meng Shan were still in Mobei, Zhu Tong took the money to Daizhou, and Wang Zhongchang was the only one left.After he heard Li Ke's order to leave the city, out of consideration for Li Ke's safety, he brought fifty black-clothed guards.When Li Ke saw Wang Zhongchang and the fifty black-clothed guards behind him at the gate of the King of Han's mansion, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. He had indeed assassinated a lot, and now the black-clothed guards were panicked when they knew they were going out. I just want to be like an enemy.However, he didn't blame him for Wang Zhongchang's arrangement. On the contrary, he appreciated Wang Zhongchang's calmness, and he would rather lead more people than make any big mistakes.

A team of 50 people led by Li Ke is commonplace in the bustling city of Chang'an, so they won't arouse any curiosity. However, when the 50 people are riding tall horses and galloping murderously on Chang'an Avenue, they look very eye-catching.The black-clothed guards are not like ordinary soldier guards. They are elites who have undergone strict training and can stand up to ten. In addition to this trip to Mobei, after they have experienced the baptism of the battlefield, their eyes now show that they are The murderous aura is enough to make the unarmed Chang'an people who are fifty steps away from them tremble with fear.

There were a lot of pedestrians in Chang'an City, so they could only drive slowly when they were waiting for Li Ke to ride a horse. After they got out of Mingde Gate, they speeded up, and they passed the Weishui Bridge outside Chang'an City in less than half a stick of incense.

Now it is December of the first year of Zhenguan, the Wei River is shrouded in cold, the vegetation is withered, and the willows are only left with bald branches.When he came to the edge of the Weishui, Li Ke got off his horse, handed the horse to the black-clothed guard behind him, stopped the crowd from following, and walked up to the willow bridge of the frozen Weishui.On the willow bridge, Li Ke finally saw the eldest grandson Bingning on the opposite side. She was still dressed in white, wrapping her tall body inside.After she saw Li Ke, she slowly walked up the willow bridge. Li Ke was waiting for her grandson Bingning to come to her, and saw that the face in front of her was lightly applied with makeup, as if the cherry blossoms were just blooming, and the soft wind was as soft as the bones, and there was a faint sense of rigidity and coldness. , in the beautiful eyes, the texture of blue and white porcelain is shining in the eyes, there is an indescribable purity, like a short-lived epiphyllum in the world, the eldest grandson Bingning, who is beautiful but enamored by people's hearts, said after a while, "You haven't changed, It's still so beautiful." After he finished speaking, the breeze blew, Changsun Bingning's white clothes moved with the wind, and her black hair was reflected like sunlight, making Li Ke look at her as unpredictable as the deep sea .

"Your appearance has not changed at all, but you have grown a lot taller and become more stable." Changsun Bingning also stared at Li Ke for half a moment before saying affectionately.

"En," Li Ke replied, and then he didn't know what to say.After a while, he glanced at the place where Changsun Bingning was just now, "Are you here alone?"

"Hmph, I'm a weak woman, who will plot against me, but your majestic prince is always guarded wherever he goes." Changsun Bingning gave Li Ke a blank look, and said without anger.

"My lord, you don't know what this lord is, and there is nothing you can do about it." Li Ke looked a little embarrassed, and he sighed slightly and was silent.He knew that Changsun Bingning was complaining that the guards around him seemed to be in the way when he was dating him.

"Actually, you did the right thing. After encountering so many assassinations, you should pay attention to your safety. You can't take it too lightly in the future." Changsun Bingning saw Li Ke's embarrassed expression, smiled "puchi", and changed his words.

"En" Li Ke replied, and then, neither of them was talking, and the air became a little deserted, and the conversation between the two fell into silence.

Today's date is not like the past, it is neither the Liuqiao send-off at that time, nor the Weishui send-off that day, but the first meeting between the two since they parted ways last year.Both of them knew that during the long wait of one year, their feelings for each other grew day by day, and they both had each other in their hearts.However, at this time, when the two people met, they didn't know what to say.

Silence always has to be broken, all it takes is an excuse.

"Bing Ning" Li Ke who was silent for a moment said suddenly.

"What's the matter?" Changsun Bingning asked, but when Li Ke suddenly asked her, she seemed a little nervous.

"Oh, it's nothing, I just called out." Li Ke didn't know what to say when Changsun Bingning asked him, so he could only answer like this.

Then, there was silence again, and the two of them just stood on the willow bridge.The man's tall and straight, like a pine tree, and the woman's white clothes fluttering, like a winter plum in the snow.When the black-clothed guard in the distance saw Li Ke and Changsun Bingning on the bridge, it was as if they saw two immortal couples who did not eat the fireworks of the world.They stared at Li Ke with adoring eyes, and stared at Changsun Bingning with vigilance.In their eyes, as long as it is not themselves, anyone who is closest to Li Ke can be regarded as a person who threatens the life of King Han.Therefore, as long as the king of Han can not order, they will not ignore anyone who the king of Han wants to contact, even if he is the favorite woman of His Royal Highness.

"Li Ke" after a while, Changsun Bingning who was standing on the willow bridge said suddenly.

"En" Li Ke replied, only Changsun Bingning dared to call him by his name without caring about his status as King of Han, which even Hou Ruoyi couldn't do, and Li Ke also liked Changsun Bingning, who was so unrestrained Talking to himself, "What's the matter?" He asked softly.

"It's okay, I just want to call you." Changsun Bingning suddenly felt that she wanted to speak and was rejected for some reason.
