    Royal palace, royal garden.

    It¡¯s already August, and it¡¯s the Mid-Autumn Festival when we look up.

    In the imperial garden, the fallen trees rustled, and even though there was still some green covering the eyes, it still could not hide the desolate feeling that hit the face.  In autumn in the north, there seems to be a sense of silence in the air.  Along with Emperor Qiyuan's coughing sounds from time to time, there seemed to be an inexplicable desolation in the garden.

    As early as the counterinsurgency in the southeast and the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, Emperor Qiyuan, who was overwhelmed by internal and external troubles, was somewhat exhausted mentally and physically.  Liu Sanchun, the dean of Taiyuan Hospital, had reminded him several times to pay attention to his health, but Emperor Qiyuan ignored them all. After a few months, the overall situation was decided, and when he was in the mood and free to take care of himself, the cough not only disappeared.  Well, it gradually got heavier.  The experts at Tai Hospital were not too surprised by this. Autumn is getting heavier, and it is normal for some diseases to worsen due to changes in weather.  Despite this, the disease was in the emperor, so several people still carefully examined it in detail and adjusted the formula of herbal medicine, hoping to get rid of the cough as soon as possible.

    Today is a crisp autumn day, and Emperor Qi Yuan is strolling in the Imperial Garden. The political affairs of many days have made him breathless. Going out for a walk can also change his mood.  Accompanying Emperor Qiyuan to relax was the current empress Jingshu.  Not far behind him, there were eight guards accompanying him.  The person half a step behind Emperor Qiyuan and Queen Jingshu was none other than Lin, who was awarded a high-profile award by Emperor Qiyuan a few days ago and was transferred from the Feiling Guards to the Forward Guards of the Imperial Army and promoted to the Imperial Guards Qianhu.  South.

    After the decree was issued, Lin Nan, who had been observing filial piety in the western suburbs, could not stay any longer. The emperor had made it clear that he wanted to seize his love, and at the same time he had given him a position, so Lin Nan naturally had to report on duty.  What's more, Lin Nan's position clearly stated that he should accompany the emperor, and he couldn't be negligent in the slightest.  After receiving the news, Lin Nan paid homage to his father's tomb again, returned home to tidy up, and went to the Fujun Vanguard to sign in the next day.

    Emperor Qiyuan walked side by side with the queen in front, pointing and talking and laughing at the scenery in the garden from time to time, looking very happy.

    This was not the first time Lin Nan had entered the palace. He was quite familiar with the layout and architecture of the palace. Although he had never been to the Imperial Garden, the scenery at the moment did not look so beautiful and did not interest him at all.  .  Just watching the emperor and his wife enjoying themselves, I always reminded myself not to forget my duties.

    Although this is not the first time he has entered the palace, he is completely different from what he was before.  In the past, when I walked around the palace, I had the title of being the attendant of His Highness Sixteenth Highness. Although there were many rules, I was still enjoying myself.  Now that he is serving as the escort in the palace, there seem to be fewer rules, but the responsibilities on his shoulders are even greater.  Driving with the king is no joke.  Even in the palace, there are still some invisible crises. As a personal bodyguard appointed by the emperor, in addition to doing the job well, it is also necessary to take precautions before they happen.  The time spent reading and having fun as a child, as I grow older and change my identity, is finally gone forever

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    After wandering around the Imperial Garden for more than half an hour, Emperor Qiyuan was slightly sweaty. He immediately followed Liu Sanchun's instructions and stopped blowing in the garden, and turned back to the Jingxin Pavilion to take a rest. After the Queen sat in the Jingxin Pavilion for a while, she  Went back to the harem.  Suddenly, Emperor Qiyuan and Lin Nan were the only two people left in the Jingxin Pavilion.

    Lin Nan handed over a handkerchief, and Emperor Qiyuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned around and sat down on the rosewood official hat chair.  Qian Hai had already prepared candied date and lotus seed soup and hurriedly brought it in from outside.  Emperor Qiyuan took a sip and couldn't help but frown: "Why is it so sweet"

    "Oh, Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare this from the morning!" Qian Hai replied softly: "The Empress Dowager said that the Emperor's throat has been uncomfortable these days, and this candied date and lotus seed soup is just right to soothe his throat.  Cleans the lungs If the emperor thinks it's too sweet, I will tell the chefs in the imperial kitchen to put less sugar next time"

    "Alas" Upon hearing that it was the Queen Mother's wish, Emperor Qiyuan said nothing more, picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp, then waved towards Qian Hai.  Qian Hai understood. After a while, the aroma of tea came from outside. A young eunuch held a tray with a blue and white porcelain teapot and four tea cups. The spout of the teapot was filled with white steam, and the aroma was overflowing.  Qian Hai poured a cup of hot tea and brought it to Emperor Qiyuan.  The steaming tea soothed his throat, and Emperor Qi Yuan closed his eyes in comfort.  After a short pause, Emperor Qi Yuan picked up the cup again, drank the rest of the tea in one gulp, wiped his lips and said with a smile: "Hey, in this weather, it's better to drink this hot tea!"

    After waving his hand and sending Qian Hai out, Emperor Qi Yuan turned around and looked at Lin Nan.  At this time, Lin Nan entered the palace for duty. He no longer looked like a scholar in a green shirt with a loose belt. He was now wearing a half-length leather armor, a leather helmet on his head, a military uniform, and a waistband.A standard long knife is slung across his body.  Standing in the court, standing tall and solemn like a javelin, with a majestic and murderous aura, how does he look like the top scorer in a science high school?  He is clearly a complete tiger general!

    Emperor Qiyuan smiled and said, "This is your first time on guard duty in the palace. How do you feel after you have been standing behind me for so long?"

    Lin Nan thought for a while and said honestly: "Back to the emperor, I can't explain clearly. It feels a little familiar and a little strange"

    "Hahaha!" Lin Nan's ordinary words made Emperor Qiyuan very happy.  He remembered what happened when he ascended the throne as a child. On the first day of ascending the throne, the feeling was both familiar and unfamiliar, and it was similar to the thoughts of the young man in front of him.  The difference is that now I am old, but these young people still have many years of future

    Emperor Qiyuan was in a good mood and wanted to chat for a few words, so he waved to Lin Nan: "I've been standing here for a long time, why don't you come over and have a sip of tea! This is a rare and good tea! Haha, that's right.  " After saying this, Emperor Qiyuan paused slightly and said with a hint of regret: "Speaking of which, when I drank this Bodhi tea for the first timecough! When your father was the prefect of Changning, he went through the back door of those monks.  , it was sent to me"

    Mentioning Lin Wu, there was a bit of silence in the room for a while, but soon Emperor Qiyuan was freed from his nostalgia: "This man is gone, and he will die if he dies! Those who are alive still have to live well! Although Lin Wu is gone,  , but I think it may not be a pity that he left." Lin Nan couldn't help but raise his eyes when he heard this, and saw Emperor Qiyuan looking at him: "Because, at least he has a very good son."

    "Haha, I heard, cough! You have gained a lot of limelight in the south this time, and you have done a lot of embarrassing things. Come on, come on, tell me in detail cough cough!"

    "yes."

    By speaking like this, Emperor Qi Yuan exposed the fact that Lin Nan sneaked into Feiling Guard Du Ning's family.  Now everyone was chatting, so Lin Nan told some of the things he encountered while traveling south, only omitting some of the content involving his revenge, and told the rest exactly as they were.

    The first trip south was really full of ups and downs, with many dangers encountered.  Even though Lin Nan sounded indifferent at this moment, Emperor Qiyuan still listened with rapt attention.  Although the battle reports from the front and the military situation in various places have previously described the war in the southeast, these were official reports and were just routine.  But Lin Nan experienced it personally, and his perspective was completely different from that in the official newspaper. For Emperor Qiyuan, it was like reading an adventure novel, re-experienced the southeastern war from Lin Nan's perspective, especially Xiangyang.  The bloody battle was like being witnessed in person. Compared with the boring numbers in official reports, Lin Nan's experience was obviously more interesting.

    From killing Ge San on a boat at the mouth of the Yangtze River to tracking Master Lou in Xiangyang City, a series of officials from the Hannan Chief Envoy Department were implicated Until the war began, Dongyang Guard Li Xian was unstoppable, and the spy incident at the top of Xiangyang City  ¡­In the bloody battle in Xiangyang, Luo Fang, the giant bandit from the East China Sea, was killed with a spear from the city wall. He accidentally killed the Jiang bandit Jiang Donglai. Then he pursued Yuerwa with fifty scouts, broke the siege of Puxia Town, and defeated the soldiers of the Prince of Huai  Lin Nan talked about it all the way, interspersed with interesting stories about his chance encounters with Ziyao and Xiaoqing, as well as old man Qiao and the Li family's peach blossoms. Listening to the story, Emperor Qiyuan's pent-up emotions since the Southeast Rebellion were somewhat unraveled.  Although he still coughed occasionally, his laughter never stopped, which made Qian Hai who was waiting outside feel very confused.

    This lecture lasted for a full hour and a half in one breath.  Later, when Ming Zhong Ming Yong marched his army eastward, Lin Nan led him there with a few words.  And Emperor Qiyuan also understood that by that time, the overthrow of King Wu would be imminent

    The conversation between the two was like experiencing the counter-insurgency all over again. Emperor Qiyuan had just been listening intently, but now he seemed a little tired.  The two said a few more words, and the conversation came to an end.  Emperor Qiyuan waved his hand and said: "You are very good. You have lived up to your father's teachings and my expectations." After speaking, Emperor Qiyuan raised the half cup of Bodhi tea that had already cooled down and nodded to Lin Nan.  : "Have a good time, young man!"

    At this moment, the pot of tea was already cold, but the emperor picked up the cup, so Lin Nan had no choice but to pick it up.  After drinking, he turned around and left the Jingxin Pavilion.  But before leaving, Lin Nan hesitated for a moment, then turned around and said slowly: "Your Majesty, that Bodhi tea although it is good, it is a rare thing after all. If you get used to drinking it for a long time, you will inevitably not be able to change it.  Come on. Maybe get a substitute tea species early to prepare for emergencies" After saying that, he turned around and walked out the door.

    These words were a bit meaningless, but Emperor Qiyuan thought about it for a moment and smiled silently.  For Emperor Qiyuan, who knew the real cause of Lin Wu's death, he knew what the young man just said.  Obviously it means that the output of Bodhi tea is rare, but secretly it expresses another meaning in a subtle way.  As a bodyguard, being able to put yourself in the emperor's shoes is a sign ofA good thing.  Although Emperor Qiyuan was somewhat dissatisfied with the content of Lin Nan's words, he also felt that the guard he chose was not wrong.

    But, it seems a little too timid.

    "I am in the palace, how dare anyone dare to plant a large piece of Lianxin Begonia in the palace?"  hehe!  Let alone anyone in this world who has the intention to harm me, even if I have one, I can¡¯t use my sword skills to get old. Use the same move over and over If you really want to do this, it would be too deceiving to no one around me

    Emperor Qiyuan was thinking as he subconsciously picked up the blue and white porcelain teapot and filled another cup of herbal tea.  His eyes unconsciously passed over the blue and white porcelain tea cup, playing with the patterns on it, but Emperor Qiyuan's mind suddenly stopped The smile that had been content with him just now seemed to suddenly freeze on his face, and then, a pair of eyes suddenly  Shooting out a ray of cold light
