Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Imperial Commander (II)
Yuan Lingjun hadn't gone out yet, pointed in the direction of Yu Kang, and said, "The day I leave, my father will give him to me." ”
She had seen a sick young man near the peach tree outside the purple platform. Zhen Chuanting wrote in the letter, if possible, ask Yu Kang to be a retinue, and he can make up his mind for her in a critical moment. She wasn't saying that someone had given her an idea, she was interested in what accidents would happen to her.
Not only Emperor Yuan You, but Yu Kang was also surprised. There is a saying in the market that King Changshan asked the emperor for people, one is for beauty, and the other is stubborn and deliberate. Yu Kang is not as good as beauty, and his appearance is also handsome, which is difficult not to remind people of beauty.
"Yu Qing, you see, it's a great luck that I didn't die of anger by her." Looking at the place where Yuan Lingjun was standing, Emperor Yuan You coughed lightly twice, and was so angry that Mao Sheng turned behind him and rubbed his back.
"Your Majesty should be relieved, according to the minister, the lord is much better than imagined."
"How?" Emperor Yuanyou rarely had the interest to listen.
"What the lord is talking about is the art of control, but he doesn't know it. Throughout the ages, there are few people who can take care of both, but those who do these two things, the wise people help the world, and the stupid people are the calamities. As the saying goes: Loyalty is good for action. The good news is that the lord does what he wants, and his temperament is innocent, but there is no evil on his side to induce him to take a detour, assisted by Lin Xiang, Zhen Wangshi, General Huyan, General Cen Lao and other virtuous ministers, so as not to become a mediocre and incompetent person in the mouth of the people, as long as Your Majesty thinks of this, what can you not rest assured. ”
There must be someone behind the scenes, of course, it is just Yu Kang's conjecture, and it is difficult to make generalizations without evidence.
In order to prevent the flattering villain from fooling the young monarch, Emperor Yuanyou deliberately sent the official Zhen Chuanting to Baling, which was equivalent to putting King Changshan under his nose to discipline and restrain him, but he didn't expect that Fan Jiang could not be prevented by all precautions.
Yu Kang's words woke up Emperor Yuanyou, and he remembered an old incident.
In the middle of winter in the Southern Dynasty, the sky fell blizzard, the disaster affected many countries, the only prince under his knee Heng fell from a horse on the way back from hunting and died, there was no successor to the South ** Mountain, the Xu family was bound to win the position of the East Palace, the courtiers tried their best to promote the daughter of the Queen Xu, several princesses have their mother's family to rely on, but the identity of Lingjun who returned halfway to the sect was embarrassing, no mother to rely on, no relatives and friends to rely on, Emperor Yuanyou in order to protect the six daughters Yuan Lingjun, she was fostered in the name of Fan Jiang, a noble concubine who had no sons and half a daughter, Fan Jiang could protect Yuan Lingjun with his own strength, and ensure that he was raised to adulthood.
Fan Jiang is very far-sighted, decisive on the battlefield, ruthless in politics, she is by no means a canary who is imprisoned, she is a candidate who can be trusted by Emperor Yuan You and is jealous. Later, Yuan Ying was the master of the East Palace, the power of the Xu family reached its peak, the Fan family was contended against each other, and was excluded everywhere. Fan Jiang once said: "There is no second person who can raise the princess as wholeheartedly as I do, if Your Majesty wants to give her a way to live, she must let the concubine and the Fan family have a way to go, and the concubine can be the eyes of Lin'an in the East China Sea." ”
Emperor Yuan You thought deeply, and putting Fan Jiang in a place that was invisible, was tantamount to returning to the mountains to leave trouble, but as Fan Jiang said, Fan Jiang had to do his best to protect Yuan Lingjun. He is an emperor of his word and must take responsibility for his decisions.
Five years have passed, and the shape of the court is intricate, and there seems to be a strange force invisibly guiding the trend. Inexplicably, the beggar's wrinkled face resurfaced in front of her, stomping and cloaking, laughing madly, her half-blind eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the world and see everyone's fate and death.
Helpless one emperor, how can two kings be born?
She sighed sadly and went up the river, as if she had unspeakable hardships.
Emperor Yuan You quietly stared at the chess game at hand, if this was a game of chess related to the survival of the Jin Kingdom, who would confront him.
"Emperor Gaozu planted more than 1,000 carmine apricot trees in Baling, thousands of trees and red flowers in the spring season, there is no shortage of good places for the Southern Dynasty to visit the spring, I am the son of the country, I dare not leave Gyeonggi without permission for no reason, Yu Qing went to see on my behalf?" If he can't gouge out the eye, he can arrange another eye.
Yu Kang obviously understood the deep meaning implied in Emperor Yuanyou's words, and solemnly bowed to the ground, "Your Majesty, the ministers will not disgrace their mission." ”
As soon as the words fell, Mao Sheng stepped in with a difficult face. Zhang Jiujie failed to come, Maosheng brought bad news, an hour ago, Xu Chao died.
The rain stopped, and the belated golden sunlight poured into the hall, although it was warm and refreshing, it could not withstand the cold. This year's winter has become extremely weird, wolf smoke is everywhere, beacons are connected, the world is getting farther and farther away from Taiping, the conspiracy is getting closer and closer to the court temple, and Xu Chao's death is just the beginning.
Returning home from the Jin Palace, Yu Kang pondered His Majesty's words, pondered one wall and walked to the study, pushed the door into the room, and stood alone in the sunset bath.
There was no servant in the house, and there were few maidservants in his mansion, and no maid came to the door, how did she come in.
The girl turned her face after hearing the sound, her clothes were wide and broad, her eyebrows were clustered, her long fluffy hair was draped over her shoulders, and she did not have a full head of hairpin rings and gold ornaments, but she exuded an innocent and lovely atmosphere. As first seen.
"I'm finally back, busy man."
Facing the smiling face of the person who came up, Yu Kang straightened his sleeves and stepped forward to salute.
"You don't have to be formal." Yuan Lingjun opened his round eyes and approached with his sleeves folded, "Fu Jun is very surprised!" I didn't think I would come to the house. ”
"It's the minister's overstep." He was indeed surprised.
I haven't seen many servants since I came in, it was empty and deserted, and Cai Mengjun said that this person had a clean breeze on his sleeves, which was not an exaggeration. "If the prince of the government serves in Tianguan County, the people will support you as a real parent official."
Yuan Lingjun said as he walked towards the courtyard, the patio was not planted with trees, and when he looked up, he could see a square light golden canopy. Yu Kang followed behind Yuan Lingjun, not leaving an inch. They walked quietly in the cold glow.
"What I asked for in front of the emperor was not a whim, and the monarch will agree to my request." Yuan Lingjun walked through the corridor familiarly, came to the kitchen, and asked in a loud voice outside, "Uncle and aunt, is the meal ready?" I'm coming in for dinner. She walked up to the kitchen, as casual as her own home.
Next door to the kitchen is the dining room, the chef put the cooked dishes on the thick wooden strips full of grease, Yuan Lingjun sat down cross-legged on the Yin, picked up the bamboo chopsticks and vegetables, and glanced at Yu Kang, who was standing still, "Sit down, I can't eat so much alone." Hmm, the northern food cooked in the house is not bad, is it from the north? ”
This Yu Kang didn't understand and couldn't answer.
"I was hungry in the palace, and on the way back, I happened to see that it was your mansion, so I came over to see if there was anything to eat." Yuan Lingjun said miserably with a broken face.
How could the slave make her hungry, I am afraid that the child is too playful and deliberately throws the servant away. Yu Kang laughed faintly and shook his head without answering.
"Yu Qing, Father Jun has an extraordinary trust in you." Yuan Ling all groaned softly.
Yu Kang hasn't reacted yet. Qing is a cute name for men and women, and it is not wrong for King Changshan to call him "Yu Qing" in the tone of His Majesty, but it is really ambiguous to use this title between men and women.
Yuan Lingjun glanced at him, and Yu Kang finally sat down and moved the chopstick. After a period of wind and clouds, Yuan Lingjun wiped his mouth, touched his stomach contentedly, looked at the bleak scenery outside the door, beat the dishes with a chopstick, and sang the "Song of Hitting the Kik": "The sun rises and the sun rises, and the sun enters and rests......"
In the courtyard outside the dining room, several ginkgo trees lost their leaves, and before you knew it, the deep winter of the Jin Kingdom was quietly coming.
