Emperor Yin put down the imperial pen in his hand, looked up at his daughter and said gently: "Why are you so idle today, you have time to come and see me?"

It has been almost half a year since Chu Xianzhao left the Yin Kingdom, and he has not yet received any news about him, although Su Nianyu has not been able to give birth to an imperial grandson, he is still safe.

"Wait, after your father and the emperor lead the army to leave Lin'an City, the teacher has his own arrangements to let you sit on that chair. A hint of haze flashed in the old man's eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably.

Chu Xun pushed the old man into the stele forest that had not yet been built, stood in the shadow of one of the tombstones, put his hand on his shoulder, and said calmly: "I am willing to pay off this debt, as long as I can save my brother's life, the teacher will teach me, what should I do?"

"But this debt owed by Yinguo should always be repaid by someone. ”

Chu Xun muttered, "This is a great crime of rebellion...... I do not know...... How could I?"

The old man said in a sincere tone: "Remember that tears are not your only weapon, and you must not use tears as a weapon, because this will not save the son of the world at all, if you want to protect him from being hurt by your father, the only way is to grasp the greatest power, so that no one in this dynasty dares to disobey your ideas, the teacher believes that after you become the empress, compared to the years of Chu Xiaohua's reign, there will be many, many fewer people in this world." ”

Chu Xun stared at the old man's face and felt deeply at his words.

The old man touched the handle of the wheelchair that had already been smoothed, and said calmly: " Since ancient times, the dynasty has changed, brothers kill each other, father and son fight is also a common thing, Chu Xiaohua allied with the Golden Horde and Shu Yue, destroyed me to the west, conquered Yan Mang, and supported Shu Yue, it seems to be unstoppable, but when the manpower is poor after all, the vitality of the Yin army is greatly injured and the army is exhausted, and the Northern Dynasty is riddled with holes by him, even if it successfully deters the dynasty of the Southern Continent, but after all, there are many masters of the rivers and lakes in the Southern Continent, and there are thousands of flying dragons, all kinds of military forces that we don't understand, once these forces are put on the battlefield, it is definitely not a Chu Xiaohua can deal with it, the situation of confrontation between the north and the south has been for thousands of years, although there is a small war, it is stable, but once the war between the north and the south breaks outThere will be a real world of disintegration, millions of innocent people will die under the iron hooves and dragon flames, this is all the conquest of your father, you must prevent this from happening, and do not let the tragic fate of the West Rim happen to other dynasties. ”

"Becoming...... Empress Da Yin. Chu Xun looked at him blankly, and the old man's words seemed to open a door to a new world for her.

Fan Ningjiang smiled, smiling sadly and tiredly, and said: "There is only one way to want your brother to live, and that is for you to personally sit on that chair and make your father completely lose the right to execute your brother, and only in this way can he come back to this dynasty alive." ”

"As long as the teacher can keep my brother alive, I can do anything. Chu Xun's thoughts blurted out.

Chu Xun kowtowed to him a few times, Fan Ningjiang looked at her, and said: "As for your brother's whereabouts in Nanlu, your father already knows, and at present, he has not ordered Crow Qiwei to tie him up and return to Yinguo to be judged, maybe he has ulterior motives, but his life is in the hands of your father after all, and now Qingguo is much safer for him than Yinguo, do you understand what the teacher means?"

"Thank you, teacher!"

"I have to say that the survivability of the prince is really first-class, according to the secret letter handed back by my subordinates, he is now in Daqing Luoyang City, I don't know why he is involved with the Shen family in charge of Daqing salt and iron industry, with this family to protect him, he is very safe now, but I don't know what the purpose of his trip to Luoyang City is, everything is in our control, he will not die in Nanlu." Fan Ningjiang reached out and patted her head, "Seeing you crying, the teacher's heart is also very sad, I hope this letter will give you some comfort." ”

The white-haired boy in the painting walks down the street with an umbrella, his eyes are purple, but his face is dull, and he is followed by two young girls.

After a long time, she opened the secret letter, there was no text in it, only a painting,

Chu Xun looked at the letter blankly, touched it lightly and retracted it like a hot hand, and then slowly stretched out his hand, but he never took the secret letter, letting the tears drip on it.

Fan Ningjiang looked at the girl who was crying bitterly, put his hand into his arms, slowly pulled out a secret letter, and handed it to her.

Chu Xun sobbed silently: "What should I do, teacher, tell me...... What am I going to do...... My brother can come back, and I can do whatever I want......"

"I'm afraid...... But I'm even more afraid that my brother is dead, I'm afraid that he won't even have a chance to hug Xiao Xue'er, and I'm afraid that Xiao Xue'er will never see her father for the rest of her life. Chu Xun couldn't stop crying, Fan Ningjiang reached out against her chin, let her eyes meet his own, and said: "What are you afraid of, your father is already old, and you are the person he trusts the most, you shouldn't be afraid of him, if you are afraid of him, the son of the world will not be able to return to Yinguo in the next life." ”

"Are you afraid of him?" Fan Ningjiang suddenly asked.

Chu Xun sat down on the ground dejectedly, she thought that her father had regretted what she had done, but she didn't expect him to be so eager to repay her.

Fan Ningjiang frowned and said: "No, do you think Su Changyan wants to do it? Do you think that little girl in Shuyue wants to do it? This is not because your father and emperor have cornered them, even if Ya Qiwei ties your younger brother Wuhuanda back to Yinguo, the sword in your father's hand is the sharpest, it is not a matter of a word to kill him or not, or to make him a waste for the rest of his life, no matter what the result is, the position of the emperor of Yinguo will not be related to him." ”

This can't be, I can't do it, it's not what I should do, I don't want to do it......" Chu Xun looked at him in shock and horror.

"Me?

"Your brother Chu Yingyang may become a very good general, but he is not suitable to be an emperor, which your father has already thought, so he will make your younger brother the son of the world from the beginning. Fan Ningjiang's eyes lowered and said: "As for your brother, he is entangled with Daqin's luck, and he will not tolerate his inheritance as a wedding dress in the end, so there is only one choice left for him." ”

"You mean...... He won't tolerate my brother continuing to live, is it because he has something to do with Great Qin's luck?" Chu Xun finally figured out what his father had told her before, his lips trembled, Huo Ran got up from the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "He killed my brother...... Who will be his heir?"

Chu Xun shuddered fiercely in his heart, and the old man said a possibility that he hadn't thought about at all, his expression was frozen on his face for a while, and his body stiffened.

"Your father's tolerance is for those who do not threaten him, because there are too many people in this world who cannot threaten him, but this does not mean that he is a benevolent king. Fan Ningjiang shook his head and said, "Even if we really find your brother, he will kill him with his own hands and will never let him continue to live in this world." ”

Fan Ningjiang stretched out his hand and gently stroked the top of her head to comfort her, and said: "Kuanren is the best way to maintain the stability of a dynasty, and the same is true for the family, your father and emperor have never had such a thing as Kuanren in his heart, whether it is for Xilin or for his own children, once someone threatens his existence, he will kill them all and never stay." ”

She knelt at the feet of the old man and cried like a little girl, her slender son trembled incessantly, even Emperor Yin had never seen her so weak and powerless.

Chu Xun only felt that sadness came from it, helplessness and sadness occupied her heart, and the girl knelt in front of the old man with weak knees, and cried: "I don't know...... I don't know what to do...... Teacher. ”

The old man said calmly: "Let's just remember it for ourselves." ”

"Will anyone remember them?" Chu Xun asked softly.

"And this time, their mission is to go to the southern continent to find your brother, this mission is immeasurably dangerous, and the slightest mistake will wipe out the whole army, so I set up a stele forest for them in advance, in case one day people do not come back, but the soul will also come back here. ”

Chu Xun's throat moved, and he vaguely guessed the meaning of the old man's words.

Some of their relatives and friends were trampled to death by the cavalry, and their mothers and sisters were captured and killed by the cavalry, and even their bodies were burned to ashes. Fan Ningjiang rubbed the handle of the wheelchair and said, "Their hatred for Yinguo is beyond your imagination, so I try to arrange more tasks for them to do, so that they can live a little easier." ”

Chu Xun also knew about the atrocities that Yinguo Tieqi had done in Xilin, even if he said it in front of his dignified princess Yin, she would not have half a sentence to refute.

Fan Ningjiang coughed lightly and said: "The Crow Qiwei was established by your father, specially used to deal with the corrupt officials of your court, there is no need to send people under the fence, nor do you need to wander in the rain, and they can also kill the people of the Yin Kingdom, presumably they are still happy in their hearts." ”

Chu Xun listened to the old man's words, and felt that there seemed to be other meanings hidden in it, and suddenly became a little unnatural, but he still nodded.

Fan Ningjiang moistened his throat with tea, and replied: "Almost all of the people in the Crow Qiwei are from the west, and you know the smoke." ”

Chu Xun said in a bitter voice: "I just want to know where my brother is?"

Fan Ningjiang's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled: "You are my only student, if you can, I hope you will never know what I am going to do." ”

Chu Xun quietly looked at Fan Ningjiang's eyes and asked softly, "I want to know, teacher, what exactly do you want to do." ”

Probably sensing the arrival of the princess, even the craftsmen who built the stele forest stopped their work and quietly retreated, leaving only Chu Xun and the old man nearby.

After the old man heard Chu Xun's voice, he turned his wheelchair to face her, the smile on his face bloomed like a chrysanthemum, and he called her name directly as if he had done in the past: "Xunxun, I haven't seen you for a long time, why do you suddenly want to come to see the teacher." ”

These tombstones are so small that they reach people's knees, and they are more for the sake of oblivion than for someone to remember.

On a soil slope planted with flowers and green grass, there are black stone tablets, most of which are wordless tablets, and dozens of workers and stonemasons are building tablets, the sound of cutting stones and building tablets is extremely loud, and it looks like a forest of tablets from a distance.

There are a group of monuments in the precincts.

Chu Xun looked along the old man's line of sight and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw a scene not far away.

This teacher from the West is second only to the gods in her heart.

This person in front of her is her teacher, knowledgeable and complex, up to astronomy and geography knowing, whether it is orthodox Confucianism and Taoism articles or wild history essays are quite deep, has taught her many times to be able to understand the situation, the theory of vertical and horizontal soldiers and game-breaking chess, so that she has a far-reaching reputation different from other palace women since she was a child, so the palace people have mixed reviews of her, but no one dares to say that the princess is a woman, there is such a pearl-like teacher standing behind her. He explained the royal way and domineering for her, from the monarch to the virtuous judge, from the admonition to the abstinence to the frugality, there seemed to be a special power in the old voice, every education made her irresistible, before knowing him, Chu Xun never thought that someone could be knowledgeable to this realm.

Everyone in the Dayin Palace knew that Chu Xun was amazing, but no one knew who taught her these things

Affordable.

The princess's gift, how many people are there in the entire Yin country

The crow's nest was not as terrifying as the rumors outside, Chu Xun stepped on the green grass under his feet, and finally saw the one-legged old man in a wheelchair, and bowed deeply: "I've seen sir." ”

Thinking of this, Chu Xun immediately left here and went to the Crow's Nest.

Chu Xun frowned slightly after hearing this, and his heart was extremely uncomfortable, he did not die heroically on the battlefield of Yan Mang and Shu Yue, how could he die silently outside the Yin Kingdom, he didn't believe that his younger brother would die, and recently received some rumors, it is said that Emperor Yin sent Crow Qiwei to the South Continent to find Chu Xianzhao's whereabouts, since his subordinates could not find him, maybe they would have news of Chu Xianzhao's whereabouts.

Chen Baoen shook his head and said: "There is no news about the whereabouts of the prince, as for Song Yixiang's group, they have come back one after another, but they have not found any news about the prince, if you say something that may offend you, maybe the prince is no longer there." ”

Chu Xun walked into the room where the candle was lit, wiped his face with a towel, summoned the Ji cadres of the Rose Division, and after asking a little about the recent situation, he asked Chen Baoen to stay and asked him something.

After the rebellion in Lin'an City, Chu Xun left the court and once again grasped the power of the Rose Division, and all of his subordinates bowed to greet each other when they saw the princess, looking awe-inspiring, and in Chu Xun's two years as a prisoner of the country to prove their skills to the entire Yin country, even the court officials were deeply shocked by its means, and some people even privately said that she was the female emperor of the Yin country.

Chu Xun saw it in his eyes and remembered many things from the past, and his heart was warm and sour.

As for Li Nianyuan, who was immersed in the sadness of Chu Instant's departure, he also hugged this girl and called out one sister after another.

With the appearance of this child, the atmosphere in the palace is a lot more active, but because of the disappearance of the prince, some people can't be happy anyway, no matter how loud the child's crying and laughter are, they can only add a little weirdness to this palace, but it is always a happy event, even the aunt who has been away from the palace for a long time has come back for the first time because of the birth of the child, holding the child and Chu Xun sat on the soft floor and talked softly, although they are not mother and daughter, but the relationship has always been very harmonious.

In any case, this child is indeed under the son of the world, and the princess's share is no longer gone, because Su Nianyu was already his nominal side concubine before Chu Instant's marriage.

Regarding the child's life, Emperor Yin didn't deliberately hide anything, and he couldn't hide it, because this girl's eyes had already told everyone who her father was, but soon rumors appeared, saying that the princess did not disappear mysteriously, but threw herself into the well and died in the palace, not only because the prince abandoned her at the wedding, but also carried her behind her back to make the side concubine's belly bigger before marriage.

The little girl looked at Emperor Yinhuang curiously with her purple round eyes, and shouted in her mouth, which made Emperor Yinhuang happy on the spot, and teased her by holding the child, making her laugh.

The daughter born to Su Nianyu is not afraid of being born, and she doesn't cry when anyone hugs her, only those who have just woken up or are hungry seem to cry a few times, these purple eyes are very similar to Chu Xianzhao's eyes, but the color is a little lighter.

After the baby girl's purple eyes looked at him and turned around a few times, Emperor Yin couldn't help laughing, his father seemed to like this child very much, Chu Xun thought to himself, could this child's eyebrows remind him of Chu Xianzhao's traces.

The next day, she and Su Nianyu carried the little girl to the imperial study, and Emperor Yinhuang rarely put on a kind posture that an elder should have in front of the two, and even his hands were shaking when he hugged the child with a smile.

Chu Xun originally wanted to ask about Chu Xianzhao, but after thinking about it carefully, he didn't ask.

In just half a year, Chu Xianzhao's reputation spread again in the Northern Regions Dynasty, but there was silence among the countries.

Chu Xianzhao's reputation in the Yin country is obvious to all, after experiencing the war between Yan Mang and Shu Yue, he should have been a young hero in the hearts of the people of the Yin country, but after this incident, his reputation can only plummet, some people scold him for bullying the king and killing his father, and some people scold him for plotting treason, after all, not everyone dares to do it to assassinate the king and kill the driver.

Regarding the conflict and battle between His Majesty the Prince and His Majesty the Emperor, the people in the entire Northern Regions and even the Southern Continent knew about it, and this matter could not be hidden from everyone, but the life and death of the Prince of the World, who had a bright future, were now unknown, which made the people of the Yin Kingdom sigh deeply.

Emperor Yin's tone of voice is extremely gentle now, but Chu Xun has a trace of fear in his heart for no reason, since Chu Xianzhao broke with him, Chu Xun, who has always been domineering in the palace, finally understands how terrifying this man is.

Speaking of this, Emperor Yinhuang paused and said: "I have been very busy recently, I don't have much time to see the child, the big name is not for the time being, so I will call it a small name, tomorrow you take the child to the imperial study and let me take a look." ”

Emperor Yin didn't know if he could see something strange from her expression, and his face changed slightly: "I only have to arrange things over there in Nanlu, and I don't need you to worry about anything for the time being, just take care of Miss Su, a woman who is a mother for the first time is always a little scared at first, especially when the child's father is not by her side......"

Emperor Yinhuang still has a lot to do now, and he has no time to see the child, so Chu Xun came to the imperial study in person, and by the way, he told him Su Nianyu's intentions, and by the way, intentionally or unintentionally mentioned the matter on the other side of the Southern Continent.

Chu Xun looked at the stele forest, and after a long time, he solemnly shook the tombstone, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, the sky is above, I, Chu Xun, want my father and daughter to repay their debts, even if they bear the big crime of rebellion, just to let there be fewer deaths in this world, and finally let my younger brother come back alive to reunite with the child, and I am still not afraid of broken bones!"

The old man smiled, "Okay." ”
