The imperial capital of Southern Chu, the imperial palace city

The towers are endless, and the top of the magnificent hall rises and falls, like an endless mountain range. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This palace city is extremely rich and graceful, and countless palaces and corridors under the dark night are coiled around the arch of the most central palace - Longde Palace, which is the largest building in Southern Chu and is the special palace for the monarchs of Southern Chu in the past dynasties.

The attendants who were on duty day and night waited respectfully outside the Zhu Gate of the Delong Palace.

It's winter, and the wind at night is always cold, and a waiter can't help but sneeze a little, and immediately close his mouth without making any sound.

At this time, two tall and slender men came to the Zhumen quietly, and the attendant carefully raised his eyes and looked up, and immediately knelt down, bowed to the ground, and was about to speak, but told people to stop-"Don't disturb your father, there is something to see in this palace." ”

The chamberlain was clear-hearted, and opened the Zhu door lightly, only opening a gap that could accommodate two people.

The two men silently walked into the dark hall, and then, the door closed, and the scene inside was no longer visible.

In the grand hall, the hanging gauze curtain is lightly floating, the gold-lacquered four-legged smoker is emitting green smoke, and the room is fragrant.

As soon as the night falls, the Delong Hall loses the golden splendor of the day, and at this moment, it is deep and quiet, as cold and suffocating as the night.

Two slight footsteps sounded in the quiet hall, and Emperor Yuan Jing, who was lying on the imperial couch and closed his eyes, opened his eyes slightly and looked at the person. "Yuan'er, you're here. ”

The prince, dressed in a luxurious brocade robe, slowly saluted the monarch and said, "The son of the prince greets his father." ”

"Dongzi and his party, thank you for your hard work. Fu Yan also came to see me. Emperor Yuan Jing sat up with the help of the inner eunuch, his face was haggard, his voice was slightly tired, and his obscure gaze moved to the body of Huangfu Yan, the general of Longwei, behind the crown prince. "I haven't seen you for months, but I've grown up a lot. A few days ago, your father mentioned you to me, and now that he is back, he will go to see him tomorrow, so that he will not complain to me, saying that his son always comes to me first every time he comes back from a trip, but he neglects his own father. ”

Huangfu Yan knelt down on one knee and said without humility or arrogance: "Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, the minister is a courtier, and he is a Majesty." ”

Emperor Yuanjing, who was over half a hundred years old and had half-white sideburns, coughed a few times, raised his hand and brushed it, signaling General Long Wei to get up.

Seeing this, Huang Yuan knew that his father's illness had not yet healed and he was still riddled with chronic diseases, so he couldn't help but say a few words of concern: "My father has worked too hard for the country, so I still have more rest on weekdays, don't bother to hurt my body." ”

Emperor Yuan Jing stretched out his hand halfway through, raised his eyes and stared at his eldest son for a moment, paused, moved the corners of his mouth, and showed a little smile, he withdrew his hand, and did not hold the wine glass on the edge of the table. "You still care about me, unlike Li'er, I've been sick for so long, and he didn't give any news, let him come back, and now there is no one. It's really getting more and more willful. ”

When it comes to his young son, Emperor Yuan Jing loves and hates. Since he was a child, he has been an unconscious person, making trouble everywhere, not only is Wen Taowu not good, but his reputation is even worse to everyone; every time he teaches a few words, he uses the prince as a reason to prevaricate his father, saying "The state has a prince, the royal court is safe, and the sons are greedy for fun, how can they make mistakes?" He was really angry, he didn't beat, he didn't scold, he only hated that his son continued to indulge in iron and steel.

Huang Yuan saw a trace of anger emerging between his eyebrows, thought about it, and said softly: "It's not that Li'er doesn't care about his father, it's just that on the way back to Beijing, he was sick from the cold, so he was delayed for a while, and he should be able to come back tomorrow." ”

"That's it, your brother is a good one, you can clean up the basket that your brother poked, and if he is sick, let him not rush back, and it doesn't hurt to come back after resting. This kid really doesn't let him worry for a moment. Emperor Yuan Jing sighed tiredly, the light in his eyes gradually warmed, whenever he mentioned his young son, he always inadvertently showed his fatherly side, which showed that he really loved Huang Li, and cared more about this young son than the eldest son.

"That's right. As if he remembered something, he waved his hand to rebuke the inner eunuch who wanted to come forward to wait, only looked at Huang Yuan, stared at his eyes, and said: "How is the matter of Xinghai Yuelou, the two national teachers of the Xingyue family have already passed on a report, detailing the losses after the bombing of the ship, but they are also honest, and they have made this mistake and took the initiative to ask for guilt." ”

Wuyue and Dongyang, as the two great protectors of Southern Chu, returned to Beijing before the prince and others after the ship, and when the disaster had not spread all over the world, they listed the antecedents of the bombing of Xinghai Yuelou and handed them over to Emperor Yuan Jing for disposal.

The emperor had already known about this before, and now his father had a plan in his heart, and now it was just a process of asking for his opinions and thoughts, just like the previous court discussions. He said unhurriedly: "Erchen has already found out with General Long Wei that Mei Yuehan's abduction and imprisonment and the explosion of the ship in Xinghai Yuelou were all caused by the joint efforts of the Long clan's traitors and Yunwu...... Chase the siege. The son's affairs were unfavorable, disappointing his father, and the matter suffered heavy losses, although he tried his best to remedy it, but he had to set off again, and Xinghai Yuelou had to be repaired for several months before it could be done. ”

Emperor Yuan Jing stared at him for a long time, without speaking.

The emperor does not speak, and the son waits.

I don't know how long it took, the hall was deserted, and the aroma was also stained with cold air, and the skin was piercing and cold.

Emperor Yuan Jing closed his eyes, took a slight breath, and said in a weak tone: "This matter has not been investigated, Ba Qing has taken a good measure, the current domestic shipbuilding technology, the repair of the ship is not good, fortunately, the bottom of the ship is only damaged by three points, the foundation is still there, and it can travel thousands of miles." ”

"Father's meaning...... Huang Yuan frowned slightly.

"Two months later, Da Yin will canonize the new emperor, the invitation has been sent to the princes of all countries, soon, the envoys of various countries will bring gifts to Bai Luan to congratulate, I have prepared a generous gift, and will send you to Bai Luan on my behalf to congratulate the king. ”

"We?" Huang Yuan was shocked when he heard this, first, Emperor Dayin was still alive, and the succession was too early, and second, his father sent him to Dayin in such a hurry, which may have another meaning.

Emperor Yuan Jing nodded, "Yes, you, Fu Yan, Li'er will go with you, and Zhu'er, she is not young, she should also go to see the world, and it bothers me to stay at home all the time." ”

"The king suddenly abdicated and summoned the world, I don't know what it means. Huang Yuan frowned, lowered his eyes and pondered, and fell into deep thought for a moment.

"He is also old, it should be the time to retreat, Jun Bai is the prince, in the future, you will meet an opponent when you call the emperor, Jun Bai is your biggest opponent, this time to envoy Dayin, you take a good look for me, the deep meaning of Jun Shangliu's actions. ”

Although Emperor Yuan Jing is old, he still thinks like a cloud, which makes people unreal.

As the eldest son and a courtier, the emperor would not express his doubts directly to his face.

Leaning over to salute, Huang Yuan and Huang Fu Yan saw that Emperor Yuan Jing's face was not good, and they didn't want to disturb him more, so they said: "My father is not in good health, if there is nothing else to do, my son will retire." ”

Emperor Yuan Jing closed his eyes, waved his hand, and coughed a few more times. Huang Yuan and Huang Fu Yan withdrew from the hall in understanding, and just as they were about to go out, an old voice came from behind them: "Li'er is stubborn by nature and confused, you are his eldest brother, bear with me." ”

Huang Yuan paused, did not turn around, only replied lightly: "What my father said, my son should remember." After that, he left the Delong Hall with Huangfu Yan without looking back.

The Zhumen merged, and the hall was quiet.

The sick and weak Emperor Yuan Jing was lying on the couch on his side, and the inner supervisor brought water, and he took a sip to moisten his throat, and then found a comfortable position to rest and recuperate.

This magnificent dress could not hide the sick and thin king, and his body gradually weakened, and his illness became more and more serious. When he was young, he had the world in mind, spent 30 years governing the country, and became a generation of virtuous monarchs.

For example, he had already received the news about the bombing of the ship, and the emperor had nothing to do with it, but he believed that although his youngest son was stubborn, it was all nonsense; after all, he had loved him for more than 20 years, and he didn't want to punish his younger son.

Miyagi is covered by dark clouds and a light wind.

Huang Yuan did not return to the palace, and Huang Fuyan did not go home from the palace, and the two of them just walked in the imperial garden.

"Your Majesty indulges the second prince like this, I'm afraid it's not good, the second prince deliberately hinders the Xinghai Moon Tower from setting sail, obviously making His Royal Highness embarrassed in front of His Majesty, why do you bother to cover it up for him?"

After a long time, General Long Wei, who had been stuffy for a long time, finally spoke out angrily.

"My father didn't blame me, I was just playful, and as an elder brother, I should clean up the trouble for my ignorant brother. The gentle and jade-like prince showed a helpless smile on his handsome face.

Huangfu Yan had a calm face and whispered: "Your Majesty doesn't know what you're thinking, in recent years, you have become more and more conniving with the second prince, and this time you sent us to Dayin, I don't know what variables will happen." ”

"It's bad or bad, let's see. After all, it's okay to be at ease. ”

Huang Yuan glanced at the moon after the dark clouds, and his eyes were clear and gentle, as if he was thinking about something.
