The heirs of the first emperor are thin, and no male is born in the current holy harem.

Because of this, the emperor, who was still the crown prince at the time, had no brothers to accompany him when he was a child.

After entering the school, the lonely situation was a little better, and there were three or four cousins and seven or eight cousins who did not know how many branches were studying in the palace together.

It's just that such a big Buddha is precious and sensitive, and everyone can't get close to or be estranged, and the prince at that time can feel that these people are far from being as affectionate and sincere to him as they show. But it's no wonder they can't do it.

Fortunately, in addition to this, he also has a cousin who can be reassured, and I don't know if it is due to the other party's nature, or if it is really related to the intimacy of the blood, the other party treats him more naturally than others. It's just that Princess Taiping died of illness later, and his cousin's health was not as good as before under excessive sadness, and since then, the other party has never come to the palace to study. After a long time, his memory of the prince of Taiping is also a little unclear.

Whenever the prince of Taiping was mentioned, the emperor inevitably thought of his other maternal cousin, the son of his uncle who was far away from the southern frontier - the prince of Nanwang.

It's just that he knows what's the use of having such a person here, the two are far apart, and it's not easy to meet and talk.

Whenever the king of the south entered the palace to see him, he never brought his cousin. Just for this little thing, and not to force the other party to enter Beijing with great fanfare. He also asked his uncle why he didn't bring his cousin to the capital out of curiosity, and at first he heard the question and answer that his cousin was too young to withstand the long journey, and then bluntly said that he was sick and weak, so he had to rest at home to recuperate.

Oh, it's no wonder that he has a total of two cousins, and both of them are sick seedlings.

The last time I heard the news about the prince of Nanwang, it was that the king of Nan asked the prince to go to Feixian Island to learn art. At that time, he thought that it would be okay to learn some martial arts and practice his body, and there would be no excuse not to come to the capital at that time, so he agreed.

It's just that the emperor really didn't expect that he just stopped by to see his own courtiers, and he could hear the news of his cousin here again.

Hua Jia Saburo was going to arrange someone to come over to serve the emperor, but the emperor directly refused. After Hua Jia Saburo listened to the order to leave, he chuckled, directly pretended to be "Qiao Gongzi", called a subordinate, and asked the other party to lead him back to his residence.

As he stood in a secluded courtyard, he calmly said in his heart: This is where his cousin lives.

There is a stone table in the courtyard, on which there are black and white chess pieces, which are the endgame played by Hua Manlou and Qiao Heng. The children are interlocked, and the whole body is moved, and it is difficult to separate.

The emperor sat in the courtyard, he looked at the remnants of Qiao Heng and Hua Manlou on the stone table, and asked, "What kind of person should my cousin be?"

Wei Ziyun shook his head honestly and said, "I don't know. ”

The Emperor was not surprised by this answer.

Along the way, judging from the attitude of his subordinates towards him and the information inadvertently revealed in his words, it should be a son of everyone who looks cold on the outside but is quite amiable and easy to get along with.

In his previous conversation with Hua Jia Saburo, when his courtiers mentioned his cousin who had never met, he made this comment: "There are hills and ravines in the chest. Although the other party said a word, he keenly grasped this point.

This evaluation is a bit subtle, it can be said that his person is out of dust and turbidity, not an ordinary person, it can also mean that he has other plans in his heart, and he has a city in his heart, and which one the other party refers to is worth playing.

The emperor had never seen the prince of Nanwang, but he had seen the king of Nan who spoke and acted without leakage, and people couldn't grasp half of the mistakes. I don't know if it will be another example of his father.

I've been sitting for a long time, and I'm a little tired. He stood up and stood still for a moment.

At this time, a sound of footsteps suddenly came out from behind him, and he walked very steadily step by step.

Wei Ziyun also heard the footsteps, he looked at the person who came, although he had been prepared in his heart, but his eyes were slightly wide because of the appearance of the person who came.

Like, too much like!

The servants who were standing in the courtyard also froze. What's going on?

The Emperor turned slowly, and the moment he saw the comer, even though he had never seen the other, he knew who it was.

"The prince of the South. He looked at the other man and said flatly.

Qiao Heng saw an uninvited guest standing in the courtyard, and before the other party could say anything, he realized who it was.

After the other party spoke, Qiao Heng did not deny it, because he knew that it was meaningless. He just dismissed all the servants in the courtyard first, and the rest of the matter was not for them to listen to. Sometimes, it's a blessing to know less.

After that, like every host who entertains guests, he invited two uninvited guests into the house.

The emperor did not stop him when he did these things, but just looked at him without blinking.

Only Wei Ziyun frowned deeply at his attitude.

According to the regulations of this dynasty, there is no need to bow and prostrate to non-ceremonies. Qiao Heng couldn't do it and kowtowed to people in a hurry, so he made a bow.

"Brother Participate in the Holy Heaven, may Your Majesty live a long life. ”

The other party's rhetoric and actions should have been commonplace for the emperor, but when the other party made it, it was like a jade tree in the wind.

The emperor said, "I never thought that I would actually see the prince here, it is really an unexpected joy today." ”

He said joy in his mouth, but his tone was not significantly different from before.

Where is the joy, if the bad luck shrouded in him can be materialized, it is estimated that it will already be covered by dark clouds. Qiao Heng said a word or two in his mouth, but he was thinking in his heart.

The emperor looked at the visitor, and the other party had a face that he had seen countless times when he took a selfie in the mirror, but he had never thought about what kind of posture this face should be when it grew on someone else.

The person who came was like his shadow, and that eyebrow was the same.

It's just that...... Others may not be able to tell the difference between the two, but you know, who in this world knows himself better than himself, so he understands that the one who comes is different from him. This difference does not mean that the other party is not dressed in brocade clothes like him, but that the other party's eyes are in the eyes.

It was a pair of eyes that ordinary people did not have, and the eyes were like the cold spring breeze in March, gentle and cold coexisted, and finally returned to two pools of clear springs. This is the case year after year, no matter how metallic and jade the appearance is, it is like dead wood and rotting flesh under the washing of time, and the same faces of the two of them become irrelevant under these eyes.

Emperor: "Although I have never met the prince before, but this one alone, I can't help but feel cordial in my brother's heart, I wonder if the prince is the same?"

Wei Ziyun has always been loyal to the emperor, and when he saw that the prince of Nan never replied, he knew that it was time to do something by himself. He took half a step forward, and was just about to drink something, but was stopped by the emperor raising a folding fan.

The emperor said: "When you go out, you don't need to pay so much attention to personal etiquette." Let the old man spend his birthday in peace. It's just that I really can't remember when I sent someone to send the edict to the Nanwang Mansion quickly. Did the prince remember it for me?"

Qiao Heng: "My brother never remembered. ”

"Leaving the fief without being edicted, this is a crime of killing the head, do you know?" the emperor said the same thing as in the original book.

Qiao Heng replied without hesitation: "I know." ”

He answered so neatly that the emperor was stunned for a moment. Because even the street junior knows that if you follow the words of "knowing the law and breaking the law, the crime will be added to the first", the emperor doesn't think that the other party doesn't understand this truth.

Qiao Heng understood that at this time, the emperor was waiting for an explanation from him, explaining why he knowingly committed it.

"The younger brother knows that this matter violates the family rules and national laws, but it is really necessary to tell the emperor. Then, he just spit out a sentence that made Wei Ziyun's expression flicker and his brows jump: "Your Majesty, there is something different outside the gate." ”

I just ask you, is this reason enough?

The emperor's eyes changed slightly, and he said, "The prince is cautious." ”

"Your Majesty, there is a difference outside the customs. ”

The lie is repeated too much, and it becomes true. In order to strengthen his persuasiveness, Qiao Heng repeated his words without changing his face.

Although God always likes to joke with him, he himself is not a person who likes to joke, and his appearance in this life is quite thoughtful, without a trace of funny, and the emperor really can't get a glimpse of half of the fake from his face.

The emperor said, "Can the prince understand what this means?"

Wei Ziyun understood what the emperor was feeling.

Based on this sentence alone, it is really difficult to tell whether something is true or false. If it is true, a prince who guards southern Xinjiang actually learned about the affairs outside the Guan, and this arm is a little too long. Even if the king of the south has a meritorious report on the enemy's situation, he will inevitably take root in the emperor's heart. If it's fake, it's even more interesting.

Qiao Heng said: "Brother Chen understands. ”

These successive affirmative answers made the emperor's heart sink slightly.

"I don't know where the King of the South learned about this?"

"The emperor misunderstood, and the father did not know about it from his friends and cronies, but his brother from his family teacher. ”

Wei Ziyun's eyes revealed a strange look, maybe others didn't know who the master of the prince of Nan Wang was, but as a close minister of the Son of Heaven, how could he not know. His master is none other than the White Cloud City Lord of Feixian Island, Ye Gucheng, who has been making waves since he became famous as a teenager!

Qiao Heng looked at Wei Ziyun, who was always behind the emperor, standing loose but not scattered, his eyes were condensed but not stagnant, and he knew at a glance that he was a person who practiced martial arts, and said: "I think this is the commander Wei of Xiaoxiang, who was once famous in the rivers and lakes." He also asked the emperor to ask Commander Wei a few words. ”

The emperor knew that the sudden change of the subject by the prince of Nanwang would not be unintentional, so he said very good-naturedly: "Ask." ”

Wei Ziyun looked at Qiao Heng with a vigilant gaze.

"Commander Wei was born in the rivers and lakes, and he thinks he knows about the Iron Shoe Thief and Tsing Yi Lou. ”

"I do know that. ”

When the iron shoe thief ravaged the rivers and lakes, the emperor was still young, and many things were not clear, so he turned slightly sideways and explained to the emperor: "That was more than ten years ago, when there was a thief named the iron shoe thief on the rivers and lakes, who acted treacherously and viciously, and what he did was heinous. The flower family is rich, and the tree is very popular, which also attracted the attention of the iron shoe thief, and later Hua Ruling invited friends, and everyone planned again, which brought the iron shoe thief to justice. As the saying goes, killing pays for life, and the retribution of heaven is unpleasant. ”

"As for Tsing Yi Lou......" Commander Wei pulled the corners of his mouth, a little cold, but he didn't say any more.

Qiao Heng and the young emperor didn't care, he stopped like this.

Just because no one in the Jianghu court now doesn't know the name of Tsing Yi Lou?

It doesn't mean one building, it's a whole hundred and eight buildings!

Of the one hundred and eight buildings, one hundred and eight people were evenly distributed in each building. Well-organized and powerful, in some respects it was no less than the imperial court.

Not to mention Wei Ziyun, even the emperor who is the Emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan can't ignore this huge force.

Qiao Heng said: "Since the emperor and Commander Wei have heard of both, then the next thing is easy to say." However, there is one thing that has to be mentioned first, and Commander Wei has made a mistake. ”

Commander Wei made a deaf look.

Qiao Heng said: "The iron shoe thief is not dead. ”

Commander Wei was about to refute, when he heard Qiao Heng say again: "Instead of dying, he colluded with the prince of the Hanhai Kingdom outside Guanwai, and is planning to usurp the throne and seize power. ”

Is this true? Of course it's true. In the movie, it is clearly and clearly interpreted like this.

The paper fan that the emperor was gently shaking froze slightly.

Qiao Heng continued steadily: "And the Tsing Yi Building, the descendants of the Jinpeng Kingdom that have been destroyed, the two are also colluding together, and they are currently living in seclusion in the Central Plains to accumulate strength, hoping to return to their homeland one day to restore the country." ”

Is this true? It's also true! That's what it says in the original book.

The people who colluded with the forces outside the customs were all people from the Central Plains martial arts, and the people who were colluded were all people from the royal family of the vassal state, a coincidence, and a coincidence.

Emperor: "You said that you learned about these things from the Ye City Lord, so come to think of it, someone has also contacted your master?" Although it is a question sentence, it is the tone of the statement.

Ye Gucheng is a descendant of the former dynasty, taking Hanhai Kingdom and Jinpeng Kingdom as examples, by analogy, the purpose of these people to find him is estimated that they will not be able to escape such things as seeking power and restoring the country.

Qiao Heng continued to fabricate out of thin air without revealing emotion: "The identity of the family teacher is sensitive, as soon as this matter came out, I asked my brother if it was Nanwangfu who leaked his identity, and then handed over the matter to my brother to deal with." The affairs of the Hanhai Kingdom and the Jinpeng Kingdom were all learned from the mouths of those who came. As for its relationship with the Iron Shoe Thieves and Tsing Yi Lou, it is unknown whether there are other feudal states that have colluded with them. ”

It's not enough to tell a lie to convince people of their word, and ironically, it's often the half-truths that are the most convincing.

Wei Ziyun couldn't help but slow down his breathing when he heard this.

The emperor asked, "Why don't you send this matter to the capital?"

As soon as he said this, he seemed to see the black eyes of the prince of Nanwang on the other side looking straight at him.

Then I heard the other party say: "This is the main reason why the younger brother has to take the risk and leave the fief without an edict." ”

Qiao Heng saluted again, took a deep bow, and said: "I also hope that the emperor will know that my father has been on the music, but as soon as this document leaves southern Xinjiang, it will sink like a stone into the sea, and there has been no news since then." ”

It's true that I've been on the song, and it's true that there is no news. It's just that there are many inside things in this, so there is no need to say it to the emperor.

King Nan has a lot of trust in the son of the world played by Qiao Heng, and since a long time ago, he has been assisting King Nan in handling the government affairs in the fiefdom.

Because of his excellent literary skills, and was praised by the master of the palace for his deep understanding of the essence of the Spring and Autumn period penmanship, even the recitals sent by the palace to the court were often written by him.

The letter in his mouth was sent to the capital on this occasion.

"After many inquiries, it is said that this recital was 'left in the middle and not sent' by the celebrant due to the wrong format of the book. In other words, if the emperor ordered to look for this note, he could still find it, and he didn't lie.

In some film and television works of later generations, there is always an illusion that the officials' old rules and sparse performances will be gathered in the hands of the emperor without exception, and they will approve them one by one. But even Emperor Yongzheng, the madman of the Qing Dynasty, could not do this.

For example, in this dynasty, the recital presented to the emperor has already been screened by the eunuchs of the General Administration Department and the Huijimen. It's too easy to do something in the process.

Now Wang An, the chief eunuch of the first celebrity around the emperor, don't look at him who has been reading with the emperor since he was a child, and he is not the one who revealed that he is actually the king of the south in the original book. Even the emperor has people from the king of the south by his side, let alone other places.

There is no need for them to leak any secrets or play any frame-up and murder, but just to temporarily detain the excerpts of Nanwangfu's own house, not to report it to the emperor, and not to copy the exposé post and send it to the cabinet.

Is it difficult? Not hard, not at all.

These eunuchs who work in the celebrant eunuchs usually make trouble for their own selfish interests. Now this little thing can even be called overkill.

Qiao Heng wrote such a letter and gave such an order, and it took no more than an hour. What seems to be a lot of work, but if you calculate it carefully, it's just a spare hand. For what? Not for today.

With his perception of his own luck, he has long developed the habit of taking one step and looking at three steps. As the saying goes, life is like chess, he would rather be idle in normal times, but also avoid being unlucky in the future and having no children to use.

Qiao Heng's heart was at ease, but the emperor's face sank completely.

Yes, if at the beginning, he still held the possibility that this matter might be a mistake in Nanwang's analysis, but when he heard about the incident of the stone cow entering the sea, he already understood it in his heart.

What the emperor didn't know was that Qiao Heng had played more than one game with him on the song.

For example, it doesn't matter if the eunuch who was the celebrant made a mistake in the process of seizing the eunuch. Because what appeared in front of everyone at that time would only be a "blank" note without signature and content.

The reason is very simple.

Many people have played or heard of a small game in which writing is written with dilute sulfuric acid, then smoked over a fire, and then the handwriting will be revealed on the blank paper and wooden board. In fact, if you don't use fire, after a certain amount of time has passed, the handwriting will also be exposed due to the evaporation of water in dilute sulfuric acid, and the increase in sulfuric acid concentration will be dehydrated.

In addition to dilute sulfuric acid, Qiao Heng, the "medicine" that can achieve this effect, knows a lot. In the process of reincarnation, he played many of these tricks, and the proportions, the materials he wrote, and the time it took to reveal his handwriting were all at his disposal to adjust according to the ultimate goal.

Of course, it had been a long time since the letter was sent to the capital, and the handwriting on it could no longer be hidden.

This is not so much his foresight, but rather a small game for Qiao Heng to entertain himself when he is idle. Unfortunately, no one believed it.

......

The emperor did not suspect him.

Qiao Heng was very sure of this in his heart.

As long as the emperor believed his words, the details were easy to pull.

The celebrant even dared to detain King Nan's recital, who knows who instructed him? The matter of the border pass is not trivial, and we cannot wait any longer, and we must find someone who is qualified to face the saint and explain the matter to the face.

Although he is a member of the royal family, he worships the people of the rivers and lakes as a teacher, and the prince of Nanwang, who has a lot of rivers and lakes, is young and energetic, and leaves the fiefdom to go to the capital without permission despite opposition, how happy this drama sounds.

He stared at the young emperor with the same face in front of him, and that heroic temperament was really familiar.

The Emperor had asked him if he had been kind to him as well.

How could it not be "cordial".

It's like looking in a mirror, how similar the two are.

But the difference is that one sees what he does not have, and the other sees what he has lost.

When the flowers in the Huajia Fort were blown by the wind, with the fragrance plucked from the heroes, it passed through the window and covered the people in the house.

The emperor slowly spoke: "The prince ......"

"Your Majesty?" the lonely, dustless figure spoke in confusion.

"I understand the mind of the king of the south. The emperor said solemnly and sincerely.

Qiao Heng sighed, but didn't say anything more.

When the first emperor was there, he warned the emperor to be careful that the vassal king had two hearts, and he agreed with his father on this point. Even when he learned that the prince of Nanwang was in the Hua family, he was suspicious, but now looking at the young man opposite who seemed to be upright and upright in his words and deeds, he felt a little ashamed of his preconceived assumptions.

The emperor recalled what Hana Saburo had mentioned about his physical condition when he talked about the prince of Nanwang.

Xu was determined to die from the beginning, and it was precisely because of this that he was not afraid of the so-called crime of killing his head. At this time, when he remembered that he was asking "This is a crime of killing the head, do you know?", the other party answered categorically "I know", and I understood the heaviness contained in it.

......

When Qiao Heng sent the emperor and Wei Ziyun away, it was already past the time to eat.

When he was at the banquet before, before the official banquet, there were only some pastries and fruits on the table, and he talked with Hua Ruling most of the time, so he only drank some tea.

Drinking tea on an empty stomach hurt his stomach, plus his stomach was already bad, and he missed the meal, he felt cramps in his stomach.

He sat down in a wenge armchair and rested for a moment with one hand on his forehead.

At this time, the maid servants who were temporarily dismissed by Qiao Heng had already returned to the courtyard.

The little maid walked into the room and asked him if he had anything to order, and he said, "Is there warm water?"

The maid brought him a bowl of warm water, and Qiao Heng took out a porcelain bottle, poured out three black pills from it, and took it with warm water. After a little while, I finally felt better.

Qiao Heng remembered the emperor's expression when he was leaving, and couldn't help but let out a low laugh, his eyes were always cool.

He was bored and placed the bowl on the table, his expression faint.

In his memory, at the beginning, he learned that "at the beginning of man, nature is good". Everyone told him to be a virtuous, wise, hard-working, and noble person, and he and his peers heard from childhood that you are flowers, eagles, pillars, and hope for a better future.

He believed and did so.

After coming back, all kinds of people he met also required him to be a good person, a good person, a benevolent person who could change his mistakes and have a narrow heart. It was no different than before, and he did it. But all of them said to him, "You are a traitor, a villain, a brute."

He said, "I'm not."

No one believed him.

He said, "You are turning black and white upside down, and referring to a deer as a horse."

At this time, no one listened to him.

Life after life, he saw the light of the morning, and witnessed the twilight of the sunset, from the court to the streets, he passed by so many people, he only regarded himself as a mute passerby.

At this moment, he was standing here.

In the courtyard, the shadows of flowers are swaying, and they are reflected on the ground in a messy and mottled manner, and occasionally a few chaotic shadows jump into the room, spread on the window lattices, desks, and bluestone on the ground.

His eyes were quiet, and he said softly in his heart: You see, I will also point out white and confuse right and wrong.

And he's always been skilled.

It's just that he had to do it before, but now he understands that this is a matter of course. You can do this confusing black and white, and if someone else can do it, of course he can do it.

The author has something to say: (two chapters in one)

Emperor: Brother is so good-looking

Wei Ziyun: Who are you praising here???

Emperor: Brother is dedicated to me and loyal to the country

Nanwang: Silly nephew, I'll tease you
