Chapter 273, Participate in the Succession
After Sima Jie said goodbye to his mother, who was crying like a tearful person, a burst of guilt rose in his heart. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Queen Mother overcame all difficulties and helped him win the crown prince. The hardships of this can be imagined.
On the other hand, I have never cherished this easy-won position of prince. before he ended up in exile.
As the saying goes, people go to tea and cool. Before the man had left, those who had heard the wind and watched the excitement had the audacity to point fingers at him.
Sima Jie laughed at himself, aren't all the people in this palace like this?
In the gap between packing up his things, Sima Jie looked up at the palace where he had lived for many years, and it was so strange.
He didn't think about Sima Rui, who was always behind him in the past, and now he hid in a corner as if he was suspicious, and he didn't think about Lin Jue, who helped him like a mentor and friend, whether he noticed it in advance, so he ran away when he heard the news?
In the long alleyway, there seems to be a road of no return with no way in sight.
The thick vermilion door creaked open, and Sima Jie sent the burden on his shoulders upward.
There was nothing but a few changes of clothes in the baggage, and the eunuch who followed him stared at him like a thief, as if he were afraid that he would take an object with him.
There was really a sense of sadness for the death of a rabbit and a fox, and none of the people who followed him like dogs in the past sent him away.
Looking far away, there seemed to be a flash of bright yellow on the platform in the distance.
The corners of Sima Jie's eyes were a little moist. This is thousands of miles away, but I am afraid that there will be no return date.
He knew very well that there were too many enemies in his past, and if he picked one out at random, killing him unknowingly would be like killing an ant.
As in the past, just as he said casually, he could have a huge impact on the lives of others.
Sima Jie took a deep breath. Such fine winter weather will never be seen again.
In a deceitful calculation, it finally ended in a complete victory for the Seven Princes.
Looking at the entire imperial court, which prince has such power as him? Who could be more suitable than him to enter the East Palace.
Sima Yan held a feast in the mansion and invited powerful people in Beijing. Anyone who has some eyesight rushes to the feast.
After three rounds of drinking, Sima Yan stood up drunken and hazy, patted his chest at everyone and said, "What kind of character this king is, many of you here know. In short, there are clear grievances, and the people who follow this king, the king of Japan, will naturally repay the favor. If you stand on the wrong team, you will be blamed for the king's cruelty. ”
Everyone was silent for a while, this Sima Yan was drunk with the intention of drinking, and the threat in his words was obvious.
After a short silence, everyone laughed and competed to pat Sima Yan's ass to show their loyalty.
At this time, Sima Jie had not yet left the scope of the capital. If he saw such a scene, he would have to vomit three liters of blood.
The heart is fickle, and it is better than the summer weather.
Sima Chu stood on the high city tower, and there was a wind blowing the yellow robe and hunting. looked at the back of Sima Jie, who couldn't really see it in the distance.
"Old thing, tell him to go down and protect his life. Sima Chu sighed lightly.
Born in the emperor's family, love is gone.
Back in the imperial study, Sima Chu looked sad, and at the end he looked at the twists and turns at hand with a strong spirit.
"See Your Majesty. The shadow guard quietly appeared in the imperial study.
"Let you pay attention to the movements of the Seventh Prince, is there any news?" Sima Chu asked without raising his head with his eyes still staring at the fold in his hand.
"Back to Your Majesty. The prince's secret line in the capital was all destroyed by the Seven Princes, and the matter of the people's petition was inseparable from the Seven Princes. At this moment, the Seven Princes are feasting in the mansion and competing to celebrate. Shadow Guard replied respectfully.
Sima Chu frowned and said, "Did the fifth prince interfere in the matter of the crown prince?"
"Your Majesty is wise, the five princes have not long returned to Beijing, and their power is limited, at most they have played a role in fueling the troubles. Shadow Guard replied truthfully.
Sima Chu waved his hand and motioned for the shadow guard to step back. Reach out and pinch your eyebrows.
Sima Yan, Sima Yan, are you so eager to celebrate? Maybe you were too happy.
Sima Chu didn't like Sima Yan's son much. This son is a little clever but very conceited. If it weren't for the balance of the East Palace, how could he get into his own eyes?
Sima Lie took Ye Juan to guard in the dense forest on the outskirts of the capital.
Watching the former illustrious prince escorted by a team of guards to the bitter cold land covered with yellow sand. Sima Lie suddenly felt extremely nervous and worried.
Such an ending is the best ending in the succession.
"Ah Lie, are you okay?" Ye Juan noticed the change in Sima Lie's mood and asked softly.
Sima Lie raised his eyes to look at Ye Xuan, and said, "Xuan'er, if I want to participate in the succession, will you support me?"
Ye Wan was stunned, this sudden question. How dangerous the road to the heir was, although she had not experienced it herself, but it was also foreseeable.
"Succession?" Ye Juan asked rhetorically.
Sima Lie nodded firmly. looked at Ye Juan with burning eyes.
"Why?" Ye Wanhu asked suspiciously, why did he suddenly remember to participate in the succession? Or was there another reason for himself?
The two rode side by side, their hooves clattering.
Sima Lie's thick male voice sounded, with a low pain, and said, "Juan'er, do you know how panicked and scared I am about the prince this time. If you or Yan'er have a good one, I will never forgive myself in my life. And the mother, when I was young, I hid behind the curtain and watched the emperor pour poisoned wine into the mouth of the mother......"
Ye Juan was speechless for a while, she didn't know how to comfort this seemingly powerful man. Words pale at the moment.
"Born in the family of the emperor, I can't help myself. Even if I don't do anything. They won't let me go, let go of the people around me. So, Wan'er, do you understand?" Sima Lie's eyes looked at Ye Wan with a mist.
Ye Wan nodded and said, "Yes." I know. ”
How could she not understand? That cold Ye Mansion, powerless in that pouring rain. She knows the sense of self-blame and disappointment of someone who desperately wants to protect but can't.
"Juan'er, the future is dangerous from now on. Promise me to take care of yourself. Don't ever put yourself at risk, okay?" asked Sima Lie softly, his eyes showing incomparable firmness.
Ye Juan smiled and nodded, and said, "I have had enough hard times in the past, and I will not die until the good days come." ”
Sima Lie stretched out his hand and hugged Ye Juan onto his horse. The two rode together, and Ye Juan leaned his head against Sima Lie's shoulder armor, extremely relieved.
"But now the Seventh Prince is dominant, and he is ruthless, no better than the former prince, you are careful in everything, don't be reckless. Ye Juan reminded with some concern.
Sima Lie nodded and said secretly, if he was left in the past, he would not be afraid even if the jade was burned, but now that he has concerns in his heart, he naturally cherishes his life in every way.
I still have to keep my life and grow old with my daughter.
Ye Juan asked again: "Ah Lie, don't you think the matter of the former prince is going too smoothly?"
Sima Lie frowned and said, "You also noticed it?"
Who is the unknown force hiding in the shadows, why has it helped him several times, and what is the purpose?
The fog obscures the road in front of you.
