The Story of Leaping from the Dragon Gate

August [-]th is still the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, and many people spend the whole night playing, and they can't get up until near noon on this day.

Dugu later slept for more than two hours in the early morning, and then went out of the palace to patrol the city.The street was deserted and quiet, and even the soldiers of the guards who were on duty everywhere were lazy and unable to raise their spirits.

At this moment, it is the easiest to relax, and it is also the easiest to be taken advantage of.

Dugu Xian severely punished several low-level officers who neglected their duties, rewarded and promoted several outstanding soldiers on the spot, and finally summoned all the officers above the fifth-rank captain, which was a good training.

Xianhou was granted the title of General Zhenguo, and concurrently served as the commander-in-chief of the Suwei Army and the Fuwei Army. He inherited the first-rank title and assumed the second-rank position.Except for Zhaohou, who is the oldest and has not yet retired from the military attache, he is the most powerful.In terms of age, he has just passed his thirties; in terms of meritorious service, the three armed forces are second to none.Of course, the title of title depends on the family background, but the position is the result of fighting on the battlefield.Such a distinguished, young and promising general is naturally an idol in the minds of officers and soldiers in the army.

Since taking office, Dugu Mian has been running around in and out of the city.But as long as the emperor is unhappy, he will be sent to the northern suburbs to train soldiers.Because of receiving the tribute from the Northwest Tibetan envoys, the focus of work in recent months has been on the guards of the Gyeonggi Prefecture. The guards in the city are mainly in charge of the deputy, and it is inevitable that there is some negligence.

No one expected that Xianhou would start patrolling the city early in the morning on the first day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and made unannounced visits in disguise.

The officers were trained to be ashamed and ashamed one by one.Dugu felt that it was almost done, so he left with a dark face, and went into the palace to see the emperor and the sixth prince.

Qingyun led him to the door of Nuan Pavilion, and said: "Your Majesty is talking with Yihou and Zongzheng Siqing, Lord Hou might as well take a look at His Highness the Sixth Highness first."

After Dugu nodded, Qingyun turned and left.Li Yi and Lan Di were both inside. Seeing him coming in, they talked about the sixth prince's injury and illness, and went outside to rest one after the other.

Dugu Mian sat down beside the bed and tucked the quilt for Song Wei.Because Song Wei could only maintain a prone position, Song Wei actually slept very uncomfortable.After a while, my hands and feet became numb from the pressure, and I struggled and moved involuntarily.Probably subconsciously knew that he couldn't turn over, and the whole person was moving sideways on the bed like a crab.

Dugu couldn't help laughing.But there was an indescribable pity and love in my heart, which seemed to be overflowing everywhere.He took off his coat and shoes, sat on the head of the bed, let him lie on his body, and pillowed his legs.Hold his arm and rub it gently to relieve the numbness caused by improper sleeping position.Even so, Song Wei never woke up.

Dugu thought to himself: Why is he so sleepy... In this state, I'm afraid he won't be able to wake up, and he will have to wait for him to wake up from hunger.With Lan Butler's meticulousness, the diet must have been prepared long ago, so there is no need to worry about it.

Leaning against the head of the bed, closing your eyes, just being with him like this.In a trance, I thought that it seemed that it had been a long, long time since we got along so warmly and peacefully with each other.

The emperor was talking with Yihou and Zongzheng Siqing.It is self-evident what they are talking about.The assassination of King Xiu may have a result.How the specific progress is, Dugu has no way to ask.What he knew better was that the emperor had clearly suspected that the assassin who escaped that night was the fifth prince, King An, and he had not been arrested yet.However, according to the news from Dongsang, it seems that some traces have been found.

A tribute brought the sixth prince to the fore.Undoubtedly, Huihe will definitely get close to King Xiu from then on; what the Turkic people fear most is his Xianhou Dugu.Invisibly, the two major forces in the Northwest vassals have tendencies.

Dugu later understood that with the narrowness of the prince, the emperor would not dare to rest assured.Whether it is the investigation of the assassination case or the replacement of the person who presides over the tribute, it is all to make King Xiu have the power to check and balance, so that the prince will be cautious in the future.

Fingers running through his long hair that hangs down his shoulders, he asked from the bottom of his heart: Xiao Yin, why did you come back?

Someone massaged her, and Song Wei became more and more comfortable as she slept, with her right arm wrapping around Dugu's leg, as if grabbing a long pillow, smacking her lips and snoring, rubbing against each other.Dugu Xian was itchy from his breathing, a shudder spread from his legs, and he couldn't help jumping from flesh to muscles.

I thought: if he doesn't come back, where else can he go?

Seeing that Qingyun came to report, guessing that the emperor might have to talk for a while, he simply lay down, biting Song Wei's rosy lips and kissed recklessly.When the breath was not stable, he forcibly held back and stopped, hugging her to sleep together.

Dugu Mian didn't have the habit of falling asleep during the day, so after making up for the lack of sleep last night, he got up refreshed, took the Four Treasures of the Imperial Study on the dragon case for the sixth prince's homework, and began to draft the memorial.He needs to make a comprehensive summary of the task of receiving the tribute mission from his own perspective and submit it to the emperor.The new information obtained in the process of dealing with the envoys, the new situation and new trends analyzed, how the court and the military adjust their strategies, so as to prevent problems before they happen... All these are the duties of the Xianhou, and they cannot be explained in a few words clear.

Thinking while writing, write three or five lines, look back, and move Song Wei's arms and legs to adjust his posture.Unknowingly, the memorial was written to the end and signed, shake it open and have a look, no less than a thousand words.He knew the speed of his pen and ink, and it took at least half a day to write these contents down.Sure enough, this time I came to my senses, and I immediately felt hungry.Turning his head to look at the person on the bed, that expression, that shape, a whole piglet lying on the nest.

Counting it, Song Wei has slept for a whole day and night.The high fever subsided in the morning, but I still didn't wake up.Dugu Mian poked around, thinking that he was indeed asleep, not in a coma.But he was not very relieved, so he came out to see Doctor Li for a follow-up consultation.If he gets an affirmative answer, he will take care of what Lan Di wants to eat.Feed yourself first, then forcefully wake Song Wei up to feed him.Seeing that he was groggy and really had no appetite, he asked the imperial doctor, and he simply carried him to the bath.

【harmonious】

The two of them returned to the water, and Song Ruowei lay slumped on Dugu's body, lazily and comfortably.

After a while, I heard him asking in my ear: "Xiao Yin, have you calmed down?"

Song Wei didn't react: "Huh?..."

After thinking about it, I realized that he was apologizing for locking himself up earlier.By the way, I still haven't reconciled after we quarreled last time.Besides, at that time, he had already decided not to love him anymore, and Quan Dang returned to the Huo Baoyou relationship, and he hadn't had time to tell him.

Facing the other party's gentle but forbearing gaze, Song Wei was suddenly stunned.In the depths of that gaze, there is unquestionable love and affection, heavy as if it has substance.He felt for a moment that he was lost in some deep and full dream.He opened his mouth, forgetting what to say.While in a daze, I heard Dugu say: "I called Li Yi to cut off the acupoint and cut off the pulse. The purpose is to smooth things over for you, not to tell you to be arrogant."

Huh?Before Lao Tzu bothered him, he actually settled the blame.

After Dugu was still chattering, Song Wei turned her head and snorted coldly: "I'm hungry!"

Xianhou resigned himself to his fate, and served His Royal Highness to put on his clothes and socks.After Song Wei finished her meal, she lay on the bed and continued to fall asleep.He took a bath, and was forced to work again, the pain on his shoulder was much less painful, his whole body was relaxed, and in the blink of an eye, he fell into a deeper sleep than before.

Dugu Mian picked up his own draft of the memorial and read it carefully, while revising it with a pen.Only a few changes were made, and Qingyun came in to invite him.It turned out that the emperor fell asleep after talking with Yihou and Zongzheng Siqing, and finally remembered to summon Xianhou who had been waiting in the bedroom.

After listening to Qingyun's explanation, Dugu's heart was heavy.The emperor's energy was reluctance, and he couldn't hide it.The feeling of seeing the oil burnt out and the lamp dying out is unbearably sad.

Originally, as the Marquis of Xian, there was no need to kowtow when he usually met.However, Dugu saw the emperor half lying on the bed, and suddenly thought, since when did the emperor never leave the bed when visiting outside the court?Feeling sore in his heart, he knelt down on both knees and saluted solemnly.

The emperor didn't stop him. He watched him kowtow and said softly, "Get up. Run Ze, come and sit down."

Qingyun put the chair in front of the emperor's bed, and Dugu went over to sit down.The sound of footsteps went away, and there was not a single waiter left in the room.This kind of treatment of absolute trust even far exceeds that of some princes and grandchildren. Looking at the court, it can be counted on one hand.

After Duguchen talked about the memorial, the emperor said: "This is not in a hurry, I will take it easy when you hand it over." Then he asked about the old master Duguchen's body and the children's studies, and praised Dugu's successors. someone.After that, he recalled the past when Dugu first joined the army and later returned to the court, and sighed for a long time.

Dugu Hou didn't dare to interrupt, and chatted with the emperor.At the beginning, I was aware that the emperor was talking nonsense, but after talking about it, I didn't feel moved.The Dugu family has followed the left and right since Gaozu started his army, and has had close friendship with the emperor for several generations.In front of him is both a monarch and an elder, while Dugu Mian secretly speculated, while involuntarily letting go of his guard, being emotionally affected by the emperor's words.

"Runze, I remember you mentioned that when your children grow up, you want to be stationed in Liangzhou in the northwest."

After Dugu heard the words, he shuddered: After walking around for a long time, he finally came.Honestly said: "Yes."

The emperor smiled: "Coincidentally, the sixth child also told me that he was going to live in the feudal city for a long time."

Dugu said in his heart, how can I answer this.He kept silent, just looked up at the emperor.

The emperor's smile gradually faded, he was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "Assuming that it is as you wish, the new emperor ascends the throne, the six princes live in the fief for a long time, and the Marquis Xian leads the troops to garrison the northwest. Runze, have you ever thought that if..." The emperor's eyes suddenly sharpened, like a sword shining coldly, "Xianhou, I ask you, if one day, the sixth child encounters an accident in the feudal city, just like... the third child died in exile... what will you do?"

The emperor's question was not loud, but ferocious and stern.

Dugu was caught off guard, terrified and frightened: "No, Your Majesty, no..."

The emperor did not give him a chance to breathe, and pressed him step by step: "I ask you, if the new emperor uses your family to coerce you to abandon the sixth son and return to Beijing, what will you do? If you and the sixth son live in the northwest for a long time, The emperor and the third prince suspected that you two had connections with foreigners, and ordered you to defend yourself with the sixth son to prove your innocence, what should you do?!"

Dugu Xian was drenched in cold sweat after being asked by the emperor, his knees softened, and he knelt down with a plop.

The emperor closed his eyes and sighed faintly.Dugu's heart was turbulent, and he didn't know what the emperor's intentions were.

In the end, the emperor whispered word by word: "Runze, I want to change the sixth prince to be the crown prince. What do you think?"

Dugu Mian suspected that he had heard wrong.His eyes widened, trying to find evidence of hallucinations from the emperor's face.After a long time, the cold sweat all over his body seemed to condense into ice balls.He heard himself say in a shy voice: "Your Majesty, I... object."
