Ji Jincheng, who was excited, sneered and said, "Okay, who's afraid of whom!"

The two switched positions and changed places.

Yan Xilan slowly pulled out a feather arrow from the quiver, pulled the bow to control the string, positioned and aimed, and his posture was indescribably stretched and elegant. The arrows that can be shot seem to be wrapped in the momentum of wind and thunder, so majestic and fierce that Ji Jincheng even has the illusion that he is just a small boat in the storm, and he will be ruthlessly torn apart at any time.

He even forgot to react.

However, this qiē did not end, and the young man immediately shot two arrows in succession, and chased straight after!

Life is pitiful at this moment, Ji Jincheng turned all kinds of thoughts in his mind, and it seemed that he didn't think about anything, only a blank.

The arrow broke through the air, and with a "poof" sound sank into the flesh, and the second feathered arrow came close in an instant, and actually split the first arrow straight from the tail!

The young man's limbs were stiff and numb, his hands and feet were numb, and the sensations around him were lost, and it seemed that only the young man standing far away was left in this side of the world.

The jade belt of green clothes, black hair and red face, like a white peony that blooms quietly, has its own awe-inspiring and inviolable noble atmosphere.

He walked slowly towards him.

Ji Jincheng subconsciously held his breath.

"What did you feel?" a voice came from overhead. I don't know when, the young man has come to the front.

He came back to his senses and said inwardly: "The surname is Lin, are you trying to murder Gu!"

"It seems that His Majesty has felt the death. Yan Xilan looked into his eyes, deep in those beautiful black pupils, buried after regaining his vitality, and even he didn't know it, the deep confusion from his soul.

This confusion does not come from his problem, but from the future. His parents died early, he ascended the throne at an early age, and his still immature shoulders needed to carry the burden of a dynasty. He was born and raised in the palace, he has seen more of the dark side of human nature, and he also knows that no one can be trusted, and the loneliness of having nowhere to be there and the sadness of losing a loved one are blended and intensified. But he is also smart and proud, and he does not allow himself to expose his weaknesses, giving people opportunities to take advantage of, giving people the impression that he is not as good as the first emperor, and saying that he is not good.

Ji Jincheng buried it very well, so good that almost no one could find it, and only when it was a matter of life and death did he reveal a flaw.

"Your Majesty is right, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. It is true that the small people, courtiers and officials, all of them will inevitably die in the end, but your Majesty, who controls the fate of everyone, your every word and every deed will have an immeasurable impact on their lives. ”

Yan Xilan's eyes were filled with pity, in the final analysis, Ji Jincheng's essence was not bad - the monarch had to die, and he could have shot him to serious injury, not a small scratch. It's just that no one has ever told him what to do and what not to do, and where is this degree.

His father focused on court politics in his early years, and when he turned back, the estrangement had already formed, and he was destined to be unable to be intimate with his strict father. And those who revolve around him all day long are people with ulterior motives, and it's too late to praise and praise, how can they say that he is not?

So no matter how smart Ji Jincheng is, he is still ignorant of things that he has no concept of.

Yan Xilan sighed and reached out to touch his head. "It's not a pity for Weichen to die, but Your Majesty, you are the emperor, you should have the world's ambitions in mind, how can you be swayed by personal likes and dislikes, and leave flaws in vain. ”

The young man's hands are beautiful, the slender finger bones are attached to a thin layer of skin and flesh, the skin is white and delicate, the palm is soft and warm, and when touched, it is as warm and comfortable as a warm jade.

Ji Jincheng was stunned.

The sunlight turned into golden powder and fell on the young man's body, and the halo blurred his edges and corners, making his delicate facial features look softer, and the young man's heart also softened as if it was irradiated by the sun.

Since then, the relationship between Yan Xilan and Ji Jincheng has been subtly improved. They are still not intimate, and most of their conversations are mainly on official work, and the latter's defense against people from thousands of miles away is even more obvious, but the original tense atmosphere between the two has dissipated at some point.

For this reason, Li Sheng also once stopped him after dispersing the court one day, and said with a sigh that it was a great luck for the princes and ministers to be harmonious, and Lord Lin finally kept the clouds and saw the moon, Yan Xilan smiled and said nothing, and when he finished sighing, he said thank you Lord Li for your concern.

Li Sheng looked at him incomprehensibly for a while, seeing that people were not arrogant or impatient, and there was no excitement for the day when he finally came to the end, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and after thinking about it, he blamed the insipidity of the youth on the cultivation of the children of the world. After all, Lin Xian back then was also a tricky character who collapsed in front of Taishan and did not change his color.

While being scrutinized as meat on the board, Yan Xilan was also examining him.

The person opposite is in his early forties, with a short beard, with the appearance of a literati and a gentleman, with some fine lines at the corners of his eyes, and he looks particularly affinity when he laughs, but no one can and no one dares to underestimate him because of this.

The reason why the original owner is so unhappy with Ji Jincheng's heart is that the other party's heart knot is certainly one thing, and the rest may still have Li Sheng's credit. With his resourceful life experience, even if he doesn't know the truth behind the incident, just relying on Ji Jincheng's bad feelings from time to time, it is easy to induce a child's thoughts. And it can also be inferred from this that the reason why the little emperor will grow up and become more mediocre is also his handiwork.

During the reign of Emperor Wen, it was more about balancing the two dukes by means of decentralization. Leaving aside the great Sima Zhao Huaiyuan, who was stationed far away at the border pass, a triangle was formed in the court composed of the emperor, the prime minister and the imperial historian. Among them, the imperial power overrides the latter two, the prime minister is the head of the three princes, slightly pressing the imperial historian, and the imperial historian has always been the deputy prime minister, equivalent to the emperor's confidential secretary, a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and will be replaced when the prime minister's position is vacant, coupled with the identity of the Lin family's royalist faction, Li Sheng can not get any bargain, and the three parties are peaceful.

But when he arrived at Ji Jincheng, he saw a glimmer of light, so his mind became alive again.

Yan Xilan has not seen such a person, he was at the helm of the world's top family during his lifetime, and he has come into contact with many political and business celebrities, most of the ambitious and skillful people are like this, speculative and controlling, and their desire for money and power comes from the fear of losing in their hearts. Therefore, Li Sheng's choice was to separate Ji Jincheng and Lin Minzhi, cut off the link between the emperor and the royalists, and let the young new monarch only rely on himself, and then slowly teach and abolish him, so as to hold power.

Thinking about it this way, even the emperor who fell in love with Yuanhua Temple at first sight and forcibly kidnapped the prime minister's daughter back to the palace to rob people is intriguing.

Yan Xilan smiled meaningfully, bowed his hand to Li Sheng, confessed and left.

After that, Li Sheng took the initiative to talk to him a few times, but he didn't speculate for more than half a sentence, and Yan Xilan was a master who didn't leak, so it was over.

Compared with the ill-intentioned old fox, Yan Xilan found fun from Ji Jincheng.

That day it was his turn to give a daily lesson, but on a whim he stopped teaching the subset of scriptures and histories, and instead told stories. The story of a particularly promising king who was a Pomeranian and laughed at the princes of the beacon fire, but no one responded to the story of the foreign enemy who came to attack and lost half of the country, changed his personal name and background and said to him, and at the end, he asked: "What does Your Majesty think about this?"

The little emperor slapped the table indignantly, "Ridiculous!"

Yan Xilan was happy in his heart, and his face was upright and stern: "Weichen listens attentively." ”

Ji Jincheng had an expression on his face that if I had such a son, I would not be able to destroy him with my own hands, and scolded people like cannonballs, and then as if he suddenly thought of something, he turned his head and looked at him vigilantly: "What do you mean by this story for Gu Jiang?"

Yan Xilan was about to hold back laughter until he was injured when he was facing a young face and playing a serious father who was so angry that he jumped on his feet, and he suddenly felt funny when he looked like this, thinking that this kid was not completely useless, he couldn't help but rub his head, and then he was stunned.

…… Hey?

Yan Xilan withdrew his hand, lowered his eyebrows and replied solemnly: "Your Majesty, this is entertaining." ”

How to listen to this reason and not be careful, but it is rare that Ji Jincheng did not come back. He tilted his head and looked out the window, more focused on everything than he had ever done before.

The young man followed his line of sight, the peach and willow were green, the grass was long and the warbler was flying, and even the sky was clear and blue, which was indeed a good spring day. When he turned around, he caught a glimpse of the slightly reddened ear tips that quietly emerged from between the young man's fingers, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but hook a beautiful arc.

"If you want to go out, please finish your homework for the day first. ”

The little emperor was annoyed and angry: "Who said that Lone wants to go out?!"

"Good, good. Yan Xilan responded twice and continued to ask: "Does Your Majesty want to put paper kites or kick the bow?"

The smile in the young man's eyes was too bright, and Ji Jincheng glared at him and didn't answer.

"Majesty?"

“…… Keju. ”

"No. ”

“…… Don't laugh, Lone orders you not to laugh!"

Yan Xilan's casual touch seemed to have passed through the barrier that had originally been erected between the two, and since then, the unbreakable film has appeared a visible gap with the naked eye.

And as the youth approached step by step, it gradually disappeared into invisibility.

Flashing light, the years are fleeting, and autumn has entered in a blink of an eye.

The accident happened at the palace banquet on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
