Chapter 68: Betting
"That's how it happened," Yu Wenrui didn't hide it from Jing Yan, and told him the truth, "Sister-in-law, who is Master?" Why did she want to cultivate immortals? And why do you want me to incense her for the Ancestor Divine Lord? She and Gao Zu ......"
Since Yu Wenrui knew that the master was "more than 100 years old" in Chai Qi's mouth, a certain conjecture lingered in her mind: Could it be that the master is the one she is...... Sending Gaozu headbands?
Tut...... Could it be that Gaozu also loves women? How can you look like Gao Zu like this? That's nice.
Jing Yan stared at her confused eyes, and her heart was mixed: these eyes used to be so pure and innocent, without the slightest impurity; But worry-free is bigger, more and more like an emperor, and there are gradually more things in these eyes, especially when they are facing themselves...... Will one day in the future, I will never be able to read these eyes again?
Although she knew that she couldn't stop the growth of a generation of emperors, Jing Yan still planned to solve her puzzles in her own way-
"Don't worry, you have to remember that the emperor's family affairs are not necessarily related to the achievements he has established."
Yu Wenrui was puzzled for a while, but after thinking about it, he understood: "Sister-in-law is trying to talk about Emperor Gaozu?" β
Jing Yan nodded: "Yes, but not completely." β
"Doesn't it say that 'there is no small matter in heaven'? Hey, let's not talk about this yet, sister-in-law tell me about my master! Yu Wenrui said urgently.
Jing Yan was not in a hurry, she did not allow the little emperor to understand what she meant: "The heavenly family is indeed no trivial matter, and everything may be related to the country in general." But you must know that there are ten out of ten people in the world who are not satisfied*, there is always a 'ask for it, there is nothing to do' there, even if the emperor is just a mortal, how can he get rid of this? Therefore, under the entanglement of the world, it is often impossible to do what you want, and all you can do is to do your best and be worthy of your heart. β
Yu Wenrui was silent when he heard this, chewing on his sister-in-law's words for a long time, and he seemed to have something in his heart, but he couldn't tell what he had experienced.
I only heard Jing Yan continue: "If my guess is right, Master, she is the Ziyang real person back then." β
Yu Wenrui was shocked: "What! Purple, Ziyang real ...... Sheβhow could she ......?"
Jing Yan pulled her to sit down, and said slowly: "Don't worry, what do you think, Master, what does her old man say she called?" Yan Wunian? β
"Exactly."
"Well, that's right. Ziyang Zhenren's name is Yuwen Nian, and her mother, that is, the wife of the prince, Yan Fengtong. β
Yu Wenrui suddenly said, "That is, the master used his mother's surname?" β
Jing Yan bowed his head and said, "It's really hard for her." β
Yu Wenrui didn't notice Jing Yan's words, she thought for a while, and suddenly said, "It's not right!" Sister-in-law, you said in the past that the person who is most similar to Emperor Gaozu is Ziyang Zhenren, but Master...... Master, we've all seen her face! Where is the half-point resemblance? β
Jing Yan said: "Don't forget, Master's mother, Concubine Yan, was one of the best Xinglin masters back then. β
Yu Wenrui said stupidly: "Master, why is she hiding it from us? Ay! Her legendary story is full of words, if I had known that she was Ziyang's real person, I would ...... I'm going to pester her and tell her to tell me those stories......"
Jing Yan was speechless: Dare you regret it so much, because you can't hear the story of the deity with your own ears?
As an emperor, the way of thinking is really different from ordinary people.
"Master, she...... She's not in danger, is she? Yu Wenrui said uneasily.
Jing Yan's heart moved, she felt that she was carefree and was indeed a child, and she was really worried about her master's safety.
But how long will this innocence last?
Worry-free is the emperor, the lord of the world, and the person who should not have a pure heart.
Jing Yan really wanted to know when the emperor he cultivated with his own hands would really become a generation of emperors.
And the worry-free at that time, will it still be her worry-free?
Looking at the young face in front of him, Jing Yan said slowly: "Whether the master is in danger of his life or not, that is the way she chooses and adheres to." Since that's what she yearns for, we should be happy for her no matter what the outcome is. β
and the tsundere sister Chai Qi had an argument......
Yu Wenrui was depressed: "For the sake of the avenue in your heart, do you even have to gamble with your life?" β
"Yes," Jing Yan looked at her deeply, "What is worth risking your life is the real avenue." β
Yu Wenrui's heart trembled, she glanced at her face gently, as if she didn't dare, and she didn't seem to want to face her sister-in-law's serious appearance.
"Since Master is the niece of Emperor Gaozu, and Gaozu has no queen, why didn't Master inherit the throne? But let the concubine's Wuzong take the lead? "Yu Wenrui is very upset for his master. Since she knew that the master was Ziyang Zhenren, she felt closer.
"Heh, you really should have been preempted by the Martial Sect?" Jing Yan sneered, "If it weren't for the fact that the master gave up the throne back then and devoted himself to the Tao, where would the Martial Sect have a chance?" β
Yu Wenrui's eyes widened when he heard this: "Sister-in-law, did a lot of things happen back then?" But why are there only a few hasty strokes in the history books? Even when I listened to Mr. lecture in the imperial study, when it came to the history of our dynasty, I asked the gentleman who was speaking, and his words flickered? Is there anything unspeakable? β
Jing Yan snorted coldly: "Those past events, after Wuzong ascended the throne, were all erased by him, and he was strictly ordered not to mention them in the history books, so that they were falsely spread and eventually became all kinds of legends. β
Yu Wenrui sighed, "What happened back then?" Sister-in-law must know, right? β
Jing Yan pursed his lips: "Do you really want to know?" β
"Yes," Yu Wenrui said frankly, "Whether it is as the monarch of the Great Zhou or as the apprentice of the master, you should know without worry." β
"Good!"
Jing Yan took a deep breath and continued: "Back then, the Taizu started in Jinyang, and he responded to every call, and with the assistance of the Gaozu, he conquered the world, and finally overthrew the Yang Zheng court and helped the Taizu to unify the country. However, although Gaozu has high merits, he was suspected of being a woman by Taizu in the end, and was only rewarded with gold, silver, pearls and jade, as well as the honorific titles of 'Princesses Protecting the Country' and 'Princess Princesses of the Town'. Taizu is still the younger brother of Gaozu, that is, he and the prince Yu Wenhong are the princes. Gaozu has been fighting for the Great Zhou for several years, will he be content with the female? She is quite prestigious in the army, and most of the important ministers and generals in the court are those who followed her in the past; In addition, the prince is weak and benevolent, pampered since childhood, very dependent on the eldest sister, and has no intention of political affairs, so he has to write poems and articles, and Gaozu is even more unwilling. Later, Taizu noticed something, and found a reason to blame Gaozu for 'neglecting etiquette', stripped her honorific title, only crowned Princess Changyang, and more arranged her marriage with Shi Luo, the son of An Guogong, in order to force her 'restlessness'. Gaozu was discouraged, and he was even more aroused to take the heir. So, she contacted the old department, worked hard for three years, and once forced the palace, so that Taizu had to Zen in her, which led to the later Emperor Gaozu. β
Yu Wenrui was shocked when she heard this, she didn't expect that Gaozu's throne would be so twists and turns. In contrast, he is much luckier, there is no bloody killing, there is no disintegration of family affection, and his road has long been paved by his mother and sister-in-law. How lucky are you? How can he be virtuous?
"So, this is what my sister-in-law just said, 'Ten out of ten people in the world are unsatisfactory*', the so-called 'ask for it, helpless'?"
"Not really," Jing Yan shook his head slightly, "Gaozu has been on the battlefield for a long time, and has been used as a tool by Taizu to conquer the world for many years, and the relationship with Tai's grandfather and daughter is very weak, so it is not extremely difficult for her to force the palace." The most difficult person is that she and the crown prince are ...... You must know that she has a very close relationship with the prince's sister and brother, and she is innocent with the prince......"
Yu Wenrui knew that he heard the key point, and couldn't help asking, "What happened to the crown prince?" β
"After Gaozu seized the throne, he wanted to crown the crown prince as the king, and even more wanted to crown his daughter Yuwen Nian as the crown princess, enter the palace to raise her, and become a great unification in the future. But the prince was disheartened at that time, broke through the red dust, and only one night, he drifted away and disappeared. β
Yu Wenrui couldn't help sighing, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was taken the throne by the trusted eldest sister, and he will bow down to the eldest sister in the future, and I must be sad and sad in my heart." β
Jing Yan said: "He had no intention of taking the throne, and it was also the intention of the emperor to appoint him as the prince, so it wouldn't hit him too much." In fact, the saddest thing for him was the crown princess Yan Fengtong. β
Yu Wenrui was taken aback: "Master's mother? β
"Exactly. During the Yang Zheng Dynasty, Concubine Yan's father and Taizu were both important ministers in the court, and Lord Yan was also the person who Taizu secretly contacted. Later, when Taizu had an incident, Lord Yan was afraid of affecting his own daughter, so he sent the young Miss Yan to follow her master, the head of the former Tai Hospital, and the master of Qihuang Tan Zheng Tan. Master Tan has already returned to his hometown, and he admires Miss Yan's medical talent, so he carefully cultivates her. Later, Miss Yan accidentally rescued Emperor Gaozu who was seriously injured by the pursuers, and as a result, she secretly fell in love with Emperor Gaozu, and her heart fell on her from then on, and it never changed for the rest of her life. β
It turned out that Master's mother was in love with Emperor Gaozu.
It turned out that at that time, there was already a thing of a woman falling in love with a woman.
Yu Wenrui secretly sighed.
"I didn't want to make people happy, but later Taizu ascended the throne, and I took a fancy to Miss Yan's dignified and gentle, worthy of being the mother of the country, and moved the idea of marriage, plus Lord Yan was obsessed with clinging, so Miss Yan became the princess. and the prince deeply love Concubine Yan, gentle and elegant, talented, in the eyes of others, the husband and wife are in love with each other, Qin Se and Ming, isn't it enviable? But Concubine Yan has been thinking of Gaozu in her heart, and she is afraid that it is difficult for others to know. But Gao Zu didn't care about her, and what he was thinking about was his junior sister, that is, the master's master, Xuanyuan Sanren. β
The more Yu Wenrui listened, the more shocked he became: there were so many feelings lingering in it, and it was constantly being pulled and messed up.
"So, the prince is sad that Concubine Yan has no intention of himself?"
"Not bad. The woman she loves deeply and gave birth to her own child is her most beloved sister, but her own sister has taken away the country that should belong to her. β
Yu Wenrui silently: If you change to yourself, the beloved woman and the country are taken away by those close to you, where will you only be "disheartened and drift away"? I'm afraid I can't wait to kill the other party alive to take revenge before the snow!
Then she understood, "So, Master, she still knows about the entanglement between her father, mother, and aunt?" β
Jing Yan nodded: "Although I don't know exactly what the master is thinking, but when I think of her giving up her identity as the crown princess and escaping into the Daomen, I can see that this matter has a great impact on her." β
"However, Master left a letter saying that I should put an extra stick of incense in front of the Ancestor God for her......"
Jing Yan felt sorry in his heart, got up and paced to the window, looked at the blue sky above his head, and said quietly: "A hundred years have passed, the vicissitudes of life, things are people, what else can't be seen?" β
Yu Wenrui stared at her back, sadness welled up in her chest, she only felt that her sister-in-law's slender back was so lonely and lonely, and she suddenly had an urge to hug this back in her heart.
Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, Yu Wenrui said indignantly: "The most hateful person is Wuzong, if he hadn't erased these pasts, people in the world would not have all kinds of misreadings and conjectures about Gaozu!" If he hadn't been confused, my Da Zhou wouldn't be what I am now! β
Jing Yan turned to look at her: "Yes, the master also feels guilty about the ancestor and the world, right?" I think she really regretted giving up the throne back then...... However, in the world, where is the regret medicine to take? β
"That's why Master is careful about the Pope's brother and my martial arts and medical Taoism? Is it to make up for the guilt of the past years? Yu Wenrui guessed.
Jing Yan didn't answer, obviously agreeing.
Yu Wenrui stared at her intently, the killing and palace fighting of a hundred years ago gradually left her, and her heart and her mind were slowly occupied by tenderness and sweetness.
After being silent for a long time, Yuwen Rui suddenly mustered up the courage and said, "Sister-in-law! If I were Emperor Gaozu, I would never live up to Concubine Yan's lifelong followers! β
