    In thousands of lingering dreams, Xingzhen has dreamed of various scenes of reunion with the person in her heart. In thousands of heart-wrenching knots, Xingzhen has imagined various scenes of reunion with him.  Under a hundred twists and turns, Xingzhen used the sweet scene of her reunion with him as a way to maintain her emotional side as a woman.  "7¡Þx.c But she didn't expect that her reunion with him would be in a temple. Maybe there was a true meaning in it. Didn't she and him separate in the temple on Jizu Mountain in her previous life?

    He was standing there in the courtyard in front of the Sutra Hall of Tianning Temple. Although his appearance had changed, Xingzhen could still recognize his usual focused and cynical expression at a glance. He still maintained the habit of his previous life, always likes to hold his hands.  , his fingers kept tapping on his arm.

    Xingzhen suppressed the impulse in her heart, and maintained the last bit of rationality and said to Li Lianying: "You wait here." After that, she walked slowly over alone, her steps were slow and heavy, elegant and solemn.

    Although it was already midnight, the monks from Tianning Temple still gathered in the sutra hall to chant sutras. The wooden fish and Buddhist chants gave the two people a quiet and peaceful atmosphere when they met. King Xi turned his head and looked at the beautiful lady walking over.  She was smiling, and although her appearance had changed, her demeanor and demeanor remained the same.

    The two stood one step away from each other, looking at each other. The most powerful man and woman in China today met like this. No one else was present. The monk was chanting inside, and Li Lianying was waiting outside the courtyard.  No one witnessed this moment except the two of them.

    There were thousands of words to say, but I didn¡¯t even know how to say them for a while. The opening words I had planned before seemed to be pale and feeble at this moment.  After staring silently for a moment.  The two of them asked at the same time: "How are you doing?" The plain and simple greetings separated the two of them, but after thinking about it, they still maintained the identity and distance of friends without realizing it.  Just like in the previous life, the two were nominally an unmarried couple.  But they have never been in love for a day, and their daily contact is like friends.

    Both of them laughed, so easily and effortlessly, but they both felt the bitterness in the other's heart.

    "I'm living a good life." The laughter stopped abruptly when the two synchronized for the second time. King Xi's tone was cautious, for fear of irritating her. King Xi guessed that she was not living a good life. After all, there was no freedom in life in the palace.  Her husband died young.  And Xingzhen's tone was comforting and self-comforting, not wanting him to worry.

    After another moment of silence.  King Xi pointed at the monks who were still chanting sutras in the sutra hall and said, "I arrived a little early just now. When I saw the monks in the temple still reciting sutras so late, I curiously stepped forward and asked. Why do you think they are reciting sutras?"

    Xingzhensu shook her head slightly, and King Xi continued: "The host master told me that they were chanting scriptures, praying to calm the world's resentment, praying for peace in the world, and praying for no war."

    ???

    Xingzhen lowered her head and asked quietly: "After saying these words, don't you have anything else to say to me?"

    The King of the West shook his head slightly.  Having picked up countless girls, he knew what Xingzhen meant, and sighed softly: "In my previous life, my marriage to you was decided by my family. I know you have always liked me. But you know why I am always unwilling to be with you.  ?"

    Xingzhen bit her teeth and said bitterly: "You may be cynical on the surface, but deep down you are very strong. You don't like the marriage your father arranged for you."

    King Xi nodded slowly and sighed softly: "You are only half right. In fact, there is another reason. That is that I feel that I am not worthy of you."

    Xingzhen smiled, but the smile was so bitter, a very old-fashioned way of rejection. She could feel that he just didn't want to hurt herself.

    King Xi lowered his head slightly ashamed and said: "The relationship between men and women is a very delicate thing. I only have respect for you but no love between men and women. I always feel that marrying you will taint you, so"

    Xingzhen raised her hand to stop King Xi's words and snorted softly: "Are you saying this to comfort me? Xiao Yungui, you have never had feelings for me, right? In fact, you have always liked me in your heart.  It¡¯s all Hong Yun¡¯er who is against you, right? It was like this before, and it¡¯s still like this now. In fact, it¡¯s all been my own fault!¡±

    The King of the West was silent for a moment and then said: "Qingyun, you were born into a noble family, and I am just the son of a wealthy family. Our living environment was different from yours since we were young. We are not from the same world. I can play with women and have sex with them."  I have many girlfriends, but they are all transactions of money and sex, but when it comes to feelings, I feel that I am not worthy of you. In fact, I used to feel ashamed every time I was in front of you"

       There is no difference between Lu Sixuan's small farmer ideas, you always think that men are stronger than women, right?"

    The King of the West was silent for a moment before slowly nodding his head, and then he suddenly grabbed Xingzhen's soft shoulders and said softly: "Qingyun, that happened in a previous life. We traveled back in time, and now I am the King of the West of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.  When I unify the world in the future, can you still be my woman?"

    Xingzhen looked at the man in front of her and shed tears. She gently opened his hand and said slowly: "Unify the world? Do you want to give me your love and then let me lead the Qing court to surrender to your Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?"  ?¡±

    The King of the West did not hesitate and said in a deep voice: "This is not a charity. I used to feel unworthy of you, but it is different now. I hold the world in my hands. As long as you surrender with the remaining forces of the Qing Dynasty and the Qing Emperor abdicates, I will have  There are many ways to make you my woman, whether it is changing your name or surname, whether it is hiding in the palace, aren't they all very good? Qingyun, I just want to take good care of you in the future and make you happy.  Live.¡±

    Xingzhen smiled faintly, wiped away her tears gently, raised her unyielding face, stared at King Xi and said: "Why are you men like this? In order to achieve your goals, you dare to make any promises? Dare to do anything? Agui, you let me  I feel so cold, so cold"

    King Xi still didn¡¯t understand what was wrong with his words. Looking at her, Xingzhen put away her eyes, lowered her head and asked quietly: "What about Yun'er?"

    The King of the West said in astonishment: "Yun'er? Yun'er is my wife. As long as you are willing, you are also my wife. Is there any problem with this?"

    Xingzhen smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Agui, do you regard this matter as a transaction in your heart? A political transaction?"

    King Xi seemed to be confused by the question, and finally he said firmly in a deep voice: "No, Qingyun, even if you still fight with us in the future, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty is still destroyed in the end, I will still let you be my wife, even if I  Even if you let the little emperor go, I will still take care of you, mother and son, and let you live happily."

    Xingzhen trembled slightly, raised her head and looked at him and said, "Will your subjects agree?" King Xi smiled slightly and said, "There are many ways, such as taking you out secretly and finding two corpses to put them away.  When the fire breaks out, who can know? Qingyun, I don¡¯t need to talk about this kind of thing."

    Xingzhen lowered her head and said softly: "Thank you. Indeed, there are many ways to hide this kind of thing."

    The King of the West continued: "Qingyun, now my army has arrived at the gates of Beijing. We could have carried out siege warfare in the past few days, but I still did not order the siege. Do you know why?"

    Xingzhen said slowly: "Do you want a complete Beijing city?"

    Xi Wang made no secret and nodded heavily: "Yes, Qingyun, just as you said, our shoulders are now carrying heavy historical responsibilities. This ancient city of Beijing needs to be completely preserved. The history of Beijing  There are too many monuments, and I don¡¯t want to leave a ruin to future generations. This is our common responsibility.¡±

    Xingzhen smiled and said in a slightly sarcastic tone: "I didn't expect that the rhetoric I used to motivate the general would be used by you to persuade me."

    The King of the West shook his head and said: "Qingyun, actually from the beginning I knew that the historical responsibility mentioned in your letter to me a few months ago was to use the method of provoking the generals. I have repeatedly calculated that the Taiping Army's march northward will be harmful.  There is only one benefit, and the only benefit is also very funny. It is just for the so-called national integrity, just for the so-called national sovereignty. But in the end I led the troops north. The reason is very simple. I think it is better to fight vigorously than to survive.  Whether it is right or wrong will be judged by history!"

    Xingzhen smiled bitterly and said slowly: "Actually, you are still taking risks, and you don't have to make your speculation so upright."

    King Xi¡¯s expression froze slightly, but he soon calmed down and asked, pretending to be innocent: ¡°Am I speculating? If things don¡¯t work out, the Taiping Army will go into full-scale war with Britain and France.¡±

    Xingzhen said slowly: "You are just speculating. You are not willing to let Beijing fall into the hands of Britain and France. You are not willing to have Britain and France intervene in our civil war in the future. You are not willing to have to divide the Yellow River with the Manchus and rule it in the future. So you go north in advance.  You want to muddy the waters in Beijing, and your final bargaining chip is my attitude!"

    The King of the West looked at Xingzhen silently, seeming to acquiesce. Xingzhen continued: "You used the maximum transport capacity of the Taiping Navy to bring more than 40,000 people to the capital and besieged Beijing before Britain and France did. But you are worried that in a short time  If the city of Beijing cannot be captured, and if it is delayed for too long, Britain and France will definitely increase their troops or change their attitude. Therefore, you are willing to take the risk and personally lead the troops north this time because you want to take advantage of me.The biggest variable is that I hope to persuade me to surrender in Kaicheng. Once I bring the Manchu and Qing dynasty to Kaicheng, not only will you be able to control the city of Beijing overnight and completely cut off the British and French thoughts, the Qing army in other places will also be completely lost.  In the end, your righteousness can only be gradually eliminated by you.  You're making a big gamble with our old friendship, right?  So, just now you didn't hesitate to make all kinds of promises to convince me, right?  "

    Every word, every word is heartbreaking, every word is blood and tears, every word is like a knife and an axe, cutting into the hearts of the two of them, even the last fig leaf of tenderness has been torn away, reason still defeated emotion, or the two of them  The sensibility at the beginning of the meeting was just to pave the way for rationality (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
