Chapter 2
"Back to his father, Chonghe Lian is a son and a minister has also heard a little, it is said that he was arrogant because of his meritorious work in controlling the water, and there is no one in his eyes. The words of etiquette cannot be long, the desire cannot be indulged, the ambition cannot be satisfied, and the joy cannot be extreme. The court has indulged in all kinds of bad deeds of this person, not only does he not repent, but he embezzles tens of millions, adding sin to crime, and it is really useless. Yongtai's expression was awe-inspiring, and the words were loud.
However, Yongxi's eyebrows moved slightly when he heard this, and his eyes could not hide the hesitation: "However, Lord Chong has repeatedly made meritorious contributions, but the imperial court has not rewarded him. At that time, it was an infighting, and it was almost ignored by the heroes. The retainers thought that the reason why he behaved this way was not necessarily because of something wrong with the court. ”
"Are you saying that my father was negligent?" A hint of coldness flashed in Yongtai's eyes, and he stood in front of the eldest prince with his hands in his hands, "Take a step back and say, even if the court really owes him, how can a person who is an official be so inconsiderate of the saint." Furthermore, it is better to teach me to bear the people of the world than to teach the people of the world to bear me. ”
Yu Yan's heart was shocked, and he almost knocked down the jade disc on the small table with his backhand. She immediately looked at the Son of Heaven, but saw that Yu Hao was just stroking the snow-white soft hair on the tip of the wolf's hair, and the thin smile on her face was still as warm as usual: "What does Yongxi think." ”
The man took a step back slightly and faced the emperor: "Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, once said, 'The husband is strategizing, and the decisive victory is thousands of miles away, I am not as good as the ovary; Town the country, care for the people, give gifts, endless food, I am not as good as Xiao He even millions of people, the battle will be won, the attack must be taken, I am not as good as Han Xin. All three are masterpieces, I can use them, so I take the world. Xiang Yu has a fan increase and can't use it, so he is captured for me. His voice was calm, and his expression was neither humble nor arrogant, "Now that the DPRK is in the middle of the country, it is the time to employ people, why should such capable people be given up." Wouldn't it be good to make up for it? Erchen thought that he should be given this chance. ”
The wind outside the hall is bleak, and the shadow of the tree is on the ground. The sun was gentle and misty at the beginning of the westward slope, and the light marks scattered on the emperor's ochre-brown woven gold dragon robe slowly transformed into a light halo. Yu Hao was silent for a long time before he raised his head, and his gaze actually fell through the empty hall to Yu Yan, who was sitting in a corner.
"Do you know why Cao Cao is only a hero, but he is not as good as Liu Bang as Emperor Gaozu."
Yu Yan's face suddenly lost the color of qi and blood, and the palm under the wide sleeve curled up into a fist. She lowered her head slightly, trying to hide the look of shock in her eyes. A pair of coral red pendants in her ears seemed to reveal her state of mind at the moment, swaying endlessly. None of the four people in the hall spoke, and the air seemed to condense into glue, making it impossible to breathe.
Suddenly, a communication broke the strange and embarrassing silence, and it was Ning Shuyuan, the biological mother of the eldest prince, who pushed the door in. She is just wearing a homely royal blue satin embroidered lotus green plantain pattern silk satin palace dress, and a few beige white bead flowers on her flat bun, which looks simple and atmospheric. Keen as she is, as soon as she enters the door, she notices the abnormality of everyone. Seeing that Yuyan was also there, the woman stepped forward after saluting Yu Hao, and curtched her knees and said, "The queen mother is blessed with Jin'an." ”
Yu Yan looked up at her, a handful of smiles on Ning Shuyuan's delicate face, as clear as the surface of the lake, she who had been deep into Jane, and now she was a celebrity who freely entered and exited the imperial study. However, such an idea was just a thought, and Yu Yan smiled and said, "Sister, please get up." ”
"You take Yongtai back first." Yu Hao stared at the two women under the window, his eyes were deep as if he could see through people's hearts, "I haven't shared dinner with Yuxin for a long time, and I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”
Yuyan knew that she couldn't stay for a long time, and was about to get up, but she heard Ning Shuyuan's delicate and gentle voice ringing in her ears: "The night is dark and the road is long, the mother is pregnant, you must be careful." She spoke with a sincere face, but the coldness in her words permeated every joint of Yu Yan's body. Yu Yan was surprised, but when she looked at the woman, she had already bowed again, and smiled when she faced Yu Hao.
When I came out of the Xuanhua Palace, the night was at the beginning of the night, and the new moon was bright. The long and narrow palace road is full of hanging palace lights, and the brilliance is charming, and the sight is endless. The clouds reflected the sunset and sailed into the distance, and a new moon became more and more smooth. The inky blue sky is dotted with a dome of stars, the brilliance of the stars and the moon is intertwined with the brilliance of Qionglou, and the blurry silver is draped on Yuyan's body, but there is a touch of loneliness in the exquisiteness. She and Yongtai walked side by side at the forefront, each with their own thoughts, and they were silent with each other.
After walking for a short distance, I heard the deep sigh of the young man in my ears. Yu Yan didn't look at him, and his tone was heavy: "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”
Yongtai's voice trembled slightly, he looked at the woman's side, and there was an unconcealable unwillingness in his eyes: "The prince will be the eldest brother, right." Mother Ning has also changed a lot, and now the father and emperor seem to favor their mother and son even more. ”
The night breeze blows on the face, blowing the fine tassels on the placket, rustling the face. Yu Yan closed her eyes for a moment, as if a sad color flashed, but when she opened her eyes, she was still dignified and noble: "Who your father favors more is not something you and I can decide." You just need to be yourself, whether you are the prince or not, you should not disturb your mind with trivial things. ”
"Why, you are the queen, and the storage position should be the queen's child." Yongtai seemed to be incredulous, and suddenly pointed to his chest, "Besides, I said something wrong, hasn't my father always acted like this." Those who betray should be cut down to the roots, so as to prevent future troubles, how wrong am I! ”
"You're right." Yu Yanling raised his head, his face was as cold as frost and snow, "You are really the same as your father, but it is precisely because of this that he will be wary of you." "There was a chill in my heart, as if it was a sign of revival of the old things. At the end of the deep palace road, Yu Yan's eyes and closed eyes are all past past. "If you inherit the throne, will you show mercy to your brothers and sisters? Will the emperor live for the rest of his life? It is precisely because he knows his ruthlessness that he does not want the tragedy to happen again. ”
"It's ridiculous, just because of this meaningless emotion......" Yongtai's low roar was like a wounded and mournful wolf, and he shook his sleeves angrily and hurried away.
Su E looked at the situation behind him and was about to chase after him, but was stopped by Yu Yan reaching out. "Don't worry about him, when he wants to open it, he will pass." After many years in the harem, Yuyan knows the truth that everything cannot be forced. The former crown prince has also gone through three wastes and three stands, and the glory of the moment cannot always be at ease. What's more, Yu Hao is in his prime, how can he lightly make power fall into the hands of others. There is a long road ahead, and it is unknown what will happen. Now she is only single-minded about saving the little life in her womb, and the rest is not willing to worry about it.
