    In the end, I drank a lot of wine until it was dark, the moon rose, and the stars filled the sky.  That night, a large group of people and I ignored the severe cold of winter and sat on the roof of a relatively large house in Huangsha Village, enjoying the night view while the cold wind blew.  Li Bai was still drinking, reciting those famous lines that have been passed down through the ages while drinking. Shang Yang and Di Renjie held hands and drank happily together. They just started singing "Let Us Raise the Oars" together. Li Yuanfang stood  There was a sword dance on the roof, and Wei Xiaobao and Li Yuanba were playing dice in the classroom.  I was also lying on my side on the roof, admiring the beautiful stars, but suddenly I found some stars with tails starting to streak across the sky not far away, it was a meteor shower!  I quickly shouted to the courtiers around me: "Hey, look, how beautiful it is!" They all stopped what they were doing and looked at the dark night in the distance, which was already illuminated by the popular light like day.  The meteors seemed to be guided by some power, and they streaked across the sky, going to unknown places.  Li Bai also laughed, took a sip of wine, and panted in the cold wind and said to me: "Prince, do you know how to tell the story of the stars?" Of course I know, that is because the ancients did not understand science and culture and thought it was on earth.  The stars of emperors and generals correspond to the stars in the sky, and the stars of generals also symbolize the stars of generals. Once the stars fall, it means that someone important has passed away.  I smiled and said to Li Bai: "Brother Taibai, general stars are all superstitious, they are just shooting stars." Li Bai shook his head: "I would rather believe that they exist than that they don't exist." I didn't expect that even Da  Poets cannot escape the vulgarity of feudal superstition. They are obviously just shooting stars. Forget it, since they are so superstitious, I should also be more superstitious.  Thinking like this, I started to invite them to make wishes together and told them that they can make a wish when they encounter a shooting star, and the wish is very likely to come true.  Di Renjie nodded beside him and said that he knew this beautiful legend.  Just like that, on the roof in the middle of winter, a group of us stood in the cold wind, facing the flashes of light in front of our eyes, slowly closing our eyes, then clasping our hands together, and making our wishes.  In my heart, I knew that the wish I made was definitely not related to Xiang Yu, but to the people of the world. Even after thinking about this, I was still confused, why should I give such an explanation to myself?  After making my wish, I breathed a long sigh of relief, and then sat down with everyone. Li Yuanba leaned towards me and asked with a smile: "Hey, prince, what wish did you make?" I felt relaxed.  He smiled and said: "I just made a wish on the biggest meteor in the meteor shower. I hope that my father will not pass away in a short time, so that we can stay in Huangsha Village for a while and don't have to rush back to the capital.  Regarding those disputes between the government and the opposition." Before Li Yuanba could say anything, Di Renjie was shocked and stopped me: "Prince! My wish won't work!" "Hahaha," I laughed loudly, "Di Renjie, you usually do.  It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t believe in ghosts and gods. Why did I become like this in the Fu Dynasty? Do I really believe in the legend that shooting stars can fulfill wishes? Meting stars just bring people good expectations. Even if I don¡¯t make a wish, I believe that my father will do it again.  It¡¯s okay to hold on for a year or two.¡± Di Renjie just kept silent. I relaxed my shoulders and was about to suggest going back to the house to rest. Suddenly I saw something coming towards us in the sky not far away, like a shooting star.  It looked particularly clear under the light. As I got closer, I realized that it was the homing pigeon that Zhuan Zhu often used with me.  When the homing pigeon flew closer, I took off the cloth strips tied to its feet and let it go.  The courtiers around me came over to take a look, and I unfolded the banner in front of them, and saw that it read "Prince! Sorry, our four assassins have been lurking in the capital for many days, looking for news. Recently,  I heard a huge piece of bad news. The current emperor of the Fu Dynasty passed away due to a serious illness. "My heart was shocked and my hands shook. The banner fell from my hand before I finished reading it and drifted away in the wind. It shook me.  I heard Di Renjie shout: "Yuanfang, hurry up, go get it back!" A figure flew quickly in the night sky. When I came back, the cloth had returned to my hand, but I was still surprised.  Yeah, it's impossible, this is too unbelievable Could it be that the meteor as big as a bucket in the meteor just now was my father's general?  Could it be that my father died because of my wish?  Holy shit!  Can it still be so harmful?  Make a wish for that person to live a long life, and then say the wish again!  ?  Wei Xiaobao stretched out a hand and waved it in front of my eyes, pulling me out of my thoughts.  I quickly lowered my head and continued to read the contents of the banner. Zhuanzhu clearly explained the current situation in the government and the opposition.  In the letter, Zhuan Zhu said:He and the Four Assassins won over a maid who was the concubine of an important minister in the court, and got some news from the maid that could not be heard outside the court.  After the death of my father, the current affairs of the court were temporarily managed by my two imperial uncles, who decided to elect a successor. However, due to Fu Ao's hard work over the past few days, most of the ministers in the court were on his side, and  My other princes and brothers were still young and were afraid of Fu Ao's power, so they all expressed their obedience and had no intention of competing for the throne and hid at home.  But just like that, Fu Ao poisoned one to death and sent someone to assassinate another.  According to the rules of the court, Fu Ao should directly ascend the throne. However, since I, the second prince, have not yet returned to the court for the funeral, the two imperial uncles postponed Fu Ao's accession to the throne and sent a large number of messengers to Jiangnan Province to search for him.  My traces notified my father of the news. At the same time, they also believed that such a big thing would soon spread throughout the country. Even if no one was sent to notify me, I would receive the news.  Di Renjie sighed at the side: "Prince, if it is said in the letter, then the current situation is very precarious. The court cannot be without a master for a day, and your two uncles have to wait for you to return. If this is delayed for a long time,  Now, the news of the late emperor's death has spread abroad, and those hostile forces that are already coveting the Fu Dynasty may take action." Shang Yang said: "Yes, prince, the current situation is not optimistic, we should.  Go back to the capital as soon as possible before making a decision!" I sighed, pointed to the contents of the note, and said to them: "Zhuan Zhu said in the letter that they were shopping around in the capital for gossip and found that Fu Ao was planning to attack me.  They set up an ambush on the way back to the court and killed me to prevent me from affecting the outcome of his ascension to the throne. Now that I'm back to the court, I'm afraid" Dian Wei stood up and yelled: "What are you afraid of! I will keep the prince and return to the capital.  Besides, how does Fu Ao know where the prince will go from? " I shook my head: "You think too simply. Since Fu Ao can send the killer to the governor's mansion in Longyou City, it means that there are many people around him.  Those two smart people have already made suggestions for him and figured out my general location. From this, they can figure out the best way to return to the court. Even a child can do it. " I held the cloth in my hand and thought in my heart.  Still a little timid, Yuan Chonghuan and Wei Zhongxian's brains are indeed not in vain. Although they have so many flaws in their personalities and bodies, their IQs should not be underestimated. Tsk Li Yuanfang said from the side: "Prince, is it possible for us to take a detour and go back?"  To the capital?" I smiled bitterly and said: "A detour will definitely waste time. If you want to return to the capital from Huangsha Village in Shannan Province, you just need to go east through Henan Province, and then go north to the border of Hebei Province. If you take a detour, you will have to go back to the capital.  How much time will it take to go north and then go east through Guannei and Hedong provinces? " Li Yuanfang frowned: "Then we should go to Henan province?  "Fu Ao has already set up three checkpoints on my way back, waiting for me to fall into his trap."  That's all," I put the strip of cloth into my pocket and looked up to the sky and recalled, "The prodigal son Linghu Chong, the sword god Ximen Chuixue, and the unparalleled flying general Lu Bu, these three alone are enough to delay our return to the capital. " Li Yuanfang again.  Question: "Prince, can we declare the throne directly in Longyou or Shannan Province instead of returning to the capital? With Zixi recruiting troops, even if Fu Ao comes to seize the throne in the future, we can still compete with him."  "Ah?" "This is a good idea, I think so," Dian Wei said proudly, patting his chest.  "No," I said, "If that happens, the Fu Dynasty will split, and external forces will inevitably take advantage of it. By then, it will be beyond our control. The best way now is to quickly return to the capital to  End this internal struggle in our country as quickly as possible, so that external forces can stop thinking of invading us." Shang Yang crouched down, thought for a moment, and asked me, "What do you mean, the prince forcefully break through three levels?"  "That's right! Fight through, Fu Ao's three levels are great, and my men are not bad either!" Dian Wei volunteered and volunteered: "Prince, I don't know those Linghu Chong and Ximen Chuixue, Lu Bu!"  I know him. If I don¡¯t fight him for you, it would be weird if I didn¡¯t scare that kid to death. Haha, it makes me happy just thinking about it. Since I lost to him, I haven¡¯t fought against him again.¡± I made up my mind!  He came down from the roof with a large group of people.  I asked Wei Xiaobao to inform the groom to prepare the horses, and I asked Shang Yang to inform the village chief and summon all the people in the village to the ancestral hall. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? While we were discussing things just now, everyone was offering suggestions. Only two people didn¡¯t speak. One was Li Yuanba. He had a problem with his IQ and knew that heIt's unreliable, so shut up. I can understand that.  Another one was Li Bai. While everyone was desperately packing their things, I saw him leaning by the yard, drinking a little wine, his face flushed.  I walked over and said, "Brother Taibai, the current situation is urgent. I know that you are a lazy person and do not want to serve the powerful. What are your plans?" Li Bai threw away the wine gourd and looked at me with drunken eyes: "Li Bai's plan  , it depends on whether you ask me for help as the prince, or as the little brother Fudong." "Okay!" I patted his shoulder: "In that case, I will let the elder brother help here.  I'm busy!" Li Bai bowed to me and said, "I'm happy to help."
