Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

Although I have known my identity for a long time, and I have seen some big battles since I was a child, it still makes me very accustomed to being bowed down. I hurriedly supported them and said, "Don't break my life."

Several people stood up and set aside.

Although the women were dusty, their eyes were very bright, and they looked at us very curiously, with a novel look.

I looked at the old man now, and his expression was still calm, but I knew that the calmness was the numbness formed by the long-term grinding. The only thing that could see his inner fluctuation at this moment was the complexity of those eyes. Look, always looking at me, as if looking at his own redemption.

I said, "The old man is--"

He said, "His Highness is afraid I haven't seen me."

I shook my head.

"Actually, he had seen His Royal Highness several times, but when he was a child, he saw it from a distance and did not dare to shock His Royal Highness."

"Oh?"

I remembered it for a while, and remembered that my mother often took me to this place to bring fishing and fishing. Sometimes she would go away alone, and I did n’t know what to do, because I was only playing at that time. Now As soon as this person said, I understood.

My mother took me to play, I was afraid the main purpose was to see this person.

I asked directly: "Who the **** are you?"

The old man was silent for a while and said, "For a long time, the old name has forgotten even himself. Your Highness can call me Zong Zheng."

Zong Zheng ...?

If I remember correctly, I have seen these two words in previous records, but they are not names of people, but official names.

"Zong Zheng ..." I muttered these two words and looked behind him again: "These are--"

"This is my son, and my granddaughter."

"Have you been here all the time?"

"Yes, we have been aiming to guard the Sanjiang Dam here for more than thirty years."

He said, looking at me, his eyes looked a bit dull: "If His Royal Highness does not appear again, we are afraid that we will soon be unable to keep it."

|

We found an open space. There were just a few stones. Susu took a mattress and placed it under me for me to sit down. Pei Yuanzhang never spoke, and sat not far from me.

This old man who called himself "Zong Zheng" stood with me with his children and grandchildren.

After a few words, I probably also understand his identity. This person should be an official from the previous dynasty, but—maybe he has been tortured, has no wife and no children, and is guarding the Sanjiang Dam here. In order to continue this work, Adopted Yizi, just like Master Ma in Gantang Village. If we don't come, they will guard this **** for generations.

But-I glanced at the daughters behind his son Yizi, and his appearance was quite right. It was probably that he hadn't seen outsiders for a long time, and they all looked at us with wide eyes, especially Pei Yuanzhang and Chabixing. Man, naturally they looked at it a few more times.

I also understand why Zong Zheng would say that if I don't come again, they will be unable to keep up.

All the sons of his righteous son are daughters, and it is indeed difficult to continue this matter.

Although I had many doubts in my heart, the appearance of this old man was totally unexpected. I didn't even know the existence of this person, so although there were many doubts, I didn't know what to ask him.

After a while, I remembered and asked, "Old man, you are here, do you see any strangers here?"

Zong Zheng said: "Although we are guarding the dam, we are not here every day. We live on the mountain and have just come down today. As soon as we came, we saw His Highness."

"Oh……"

I nodded, and then looked forward, thinking about the time in my heart, I still had to hurry up.

"Speaking of strangers--" Zong Zheng said as he looked at Pei Yuanzhang, who was sitting calmly beside him, and said, "His Royal Highness, who are they?"

Although this old man has been here for decades, he still has a lot of eyesight. He didn't ask Du Yan and Chabixing behind me, but just asked Pei Yuanzhang. Obviously, he could see that he and us It's a two-way street.

I glanced at Pei Yuanzhang and said, "He, he is emperor."

"..."

Zong Zheng's face suddenly changed: "What?"

"He is the emperor."

"..."

Zong Zheng slowly turned to him, and those eyes that looked a little chaotic because of his age looked straight at Pei Yuanzhang.

He is an official of the former dynasty. Naturally he would have no other thoughts about this emperor. After looking at Pei Yuanzhang for a while, he looked back at me again, and his look seemed strange.

Pei Yuanzhang looked at him like this and couldn't help frowning.

But at this moment, Zong Zheng suddenly said to me again: "Excuse His Highness, His Majesty the Emperor, what did he come to Xichuan?"

I said, "He came to peace talks, he came to peace talks with my brother, the owner of the Yan family."

Zong Zheng's face changed suddenly: "Peace talk!"

These two words seemed to poke somewhere in their hearts, not only him, but also the numb righteous son behind him, as well as several quiet granddaughters, and they all came up: "Father! "

"Grandpa, are they really in peace talks?"

"Peace talk! The Yan family finally had peace talks with the court!"

I don't know why this almost everyone's news makes them so abnormal. Although they live in the mountains and may not get the news, the people in Xichuan also have their own opinions on the matter of peace talks. Why are they so excited?

I asked, "What about the elderly?"

Zong Zheng didn't seem to hear my voice at this time. He was laughing and sighing again, and there was tears in his eyes, and he bowed to Heaven again and again: "God has eyes, God has eyes, we, we Finally, you do n’t have to keep it up! "

What do you mean?

I was a little confused, and at this time, Pei Yuanzhang's face showed a strange expression.

Zong Zheng worshiped Cangtian with his son Yizi and his granddaughter sincerely for three consecutive years, and then he stood up and said in tears: "His Royal Highness didn't know that the old imperial dedication was designed to protect the dam. The day the dam is in, as long as it is old, or old, and old children and grandchildren, we must guard here and cannot leave. "

I nodded, this is the same as Father Ma's guarding the Yan Family Ancestral Hall.

He said, "However, the old deceased family passed here. Only the granddaughters were left, and they couldn't keep it anymore."

I said, "Is there no other plan for my mother?"

He said tearfully: "There is only one arrangement, which is to wait until the court and the Yan family have peace talks."

"...!"

My heart suddenly jumped.

Pei Yuanzhang was very quiet at this time, and couldn't help but say, "What's the matter?"

Zong Zheng said: "Only on the day when the imperial court and the Yan family are in peace talks, old and old children and grandchildren can leave the Sanjiang Dam and don't need to guard here!"

I frowned: "How did my mother explain to you?"

Zong Zheng cried and the whole man was convulsing, and said, "This is an obsolete life, how can an obsolete memory be wrong?"

I took a deep breath.

Mother, it was already foreseen that the division between the court and Xichuan would not last long. She had expected that Xichuan would one day negotiate with the court, so this old man would guard the Sanjiang dam here and give him back. One such command.

As long as the peace talks, there is no need to keep.

However, the Sanjiang Dam is the lifeblood of Xichuan. Regardless of the peace talks, this place is equally important to Xichuan. Why does it not need to guard here after the peace talks?

What is her intention?

My mind is still tangled, and Zong Zheng's family is already so excited that it is hard to hold on, especially those women who cry more than their grandpa, one of the youngest women crying, The voice was dumb, saying, "We, we can finally leave here ..."

Although there are still many doubts in my heart, seeing them like this, I still can't help feeling sad.

The world outside is full of splendor, but for this family, all the flowers will be red and green, and Fengxiang is leaping, and they are too far away. They are guarding a lifeless dam in this bitter world, which is tantamount to a kind of penance, and it is also a kind of destruction to human nature.

Although I know the importance of the dam, it is of course necessary to protect this place, but why does the mother let Zong Zheng guard it?

Probably, I have the same compassion for them. No one from Pei Yuanzhang to Chabixing started to disturb the family's celebration. They cried and laughed and were excited, and it took a while to calm down the emotion .

I asked: "Old man."

At this time Zong Zheng even smiled deeper at the wrinkles on his face, and a little light appeared in his eyes, looking at me: "What does your Highness have to say?"

I thought about it and asked, "Why would your mother let you come here to guard the dam?"

Zong Zheng sighed and said: "The mountains and rivers are ruined, the old deceased body has no long thing, and no wife, no children, no worries. If you don't come here to protect the dam, you don't know what else you can do."

"But it's just you? Didn't the mother send anyone else?"

"This place hasn't seen anyone for many years, and at most you can see some lost Orion. In fact, there is no one to guard it. It's the same. At first there was only one person who was old and deceased, and he took the wife and he married him. After giving birth, old age is not alone. "

I thought about it and nodded, but it's true that this dam is important to Xichuan. It goes without saying that no one will come here to make troubles. As for the rest-before today, no one can really go deep into Xichuan. , Came to this dam to wriggle.

"However," Zong Zheng thought of something, saying, "Ten years ago, someone came here."

"who is it?"

"It is a court official, his surname is Yang."
