Chapter X

After such an incident, the atmosphere of the banquet was also much depressed. In addition, with Tang Yu present, the ministers didn't dare to really let go, and many people didn't know what to eat, just looking at Tang Yu's face. Tang Yin sighed secretly when he saw this, and on the grounds that he was a little tired, he let everyone disperse hastily.

Seeing that the people in the house were almost clean, Tang Yu asked Tang Yin to retire. Even though he had the courage to use Tang Yin's banquet to exclude dissidents and disturb Tang Yin's interest, he still didn't dare to be disrespectful to Tang Yin.

Unexpectedly, Tang Yin did not allow him to leave, but walked to the small garden behind the house without saying a word.

Tang Yu was uneasy in his heart and followed behind Tang Yin.

A cool breeze blew, and pieces of silver leaves flew and landed on Tang Yu's shoulder. The wind blew his hair and danced wildly, looking at him at this time, there was less of the coldness of the superiors, and more of it, he was still tired and lonely.

Last night, the west wind withered the green trees, and I went up to the tall building alone, looking at the end of the world. This loneliness is the unbearable cold in the high place, and it is the supreme loneliness.

Tang Yin turned around and saw Tang Yu's slightly collapsed shoulders, but swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, and just said lightly, "Yu'er, do you remember what your father asked you when you were a child." ”

Tang Yu was stunned, Tang Yin had asked him too many words, where did he remember, "I don't know what my father said?" ”

Tang Yin was speechless, recalling the past......

Ten years ago, by the gazebo.

Tang Yin stroked Tang Yu's little head and asked with a smile: "If one day, you become the Wind King, how will you treat your younger brothers, sisters, and old ministers of the previous dynasty?" ”

Tang Yu blinked his eyes and said: "For my younger brothers and sisters, I will make them marquis and leave them in the capital to hold important positions, as an elder brother, I have the responsibility to protect my younger brothers and sisters, and let them be prosperous and rich for the rest of their lives." The old ministers and predecessors have all helped my father and the king to make meritorious contributions to the world, and I will definitely respect and trust them very much, even if they are old, I will give them a pension and send them to the end. ”

Tang Yin was relieved by Tang Yu's answer, what he was most worried about was that his children would kill each other, and the old ministers would also become victims of the power struggle. Such precedents are not uncommon. "Yu'er is right." He put his arm around Tang Yu's shoulders and said meaningfully: "If one day your father is gone, as the eldest son, you will have to support the court and the country externally, and internally, you will also have to take care of your younger brothers and sisters." ”

Hearing this, Tang Yu subconsciously grabbed Tang Yin's clothes, looked at him with blank eyes, and said, "Why is my father gone?" ”

Tang Yin was amused and laughed, and said: "Father is not an immortal in the sky, sooner or later there will be an absence. At this, he suddenly paused and muttered in a low voice, "Perhaps, this day will come soon." ”

Now, more than ten years have passed in a flash, and the children's words of the past are now just sad memories.

Tang Yin picked up a fallen leaf, "Yu'er, my father will travel far away in a few days, I shouldn't have interfered in your political affairs, but before leaving, my father still wants to send you a word." ”

"You can be ruthless to your enemies, and it's not an exaggeration to calculate in every way. However, to your own brothers and subordinates, if you are the same, it will only make people feel worried. Just like this tree, it has scattered all its green leaves, and no matter how strong the branches are, it can't get rid of the fate of withering. ”

"In the end, you really become a loner." Tang Yin threw away the fallen leaves and strode away, leaving Tang Yu alone in a daze.

Tang Yu didn't speak, he saw his father's cold and disappointed heart. He smiled bitterly, although the tree had lost its green, he didn't know that it would bloom more vigorously next spring. It's just that no one will understand him, not even his father.

When you envy the possession of others, you can never see the blood behind their power, and the tears that cannot be hidden by money. Heaven is always fair, and if you get it, you will always lose it......

The next day, Di Yuan, Jiang Fan and others packed up and set off with Tang Yin to Shenchi.

There is no guard of honor, no carriage, just one man and one horse, and it is also fast. In just a few days, they arrived at Yuecheng, which is located in Andi.

"It's a lively place, and it's like a big market town. How about we rest here tonight? Tang Yin smiled and looked around at the crowd of people coming and going.

When Di Yuan heard this, he was so happy that he almost jumped up, "Here is next to the mountains and rivers, and there is a comfortable inn, so it is naturally good to have a night of etiquette here." Otherwise, we will have to drive dozens of miles of mountain roads to the next city, and I am afraid that we will have to stay in the wilderness again. "After a few days of rushing through thick and rain, he only slept in the wild or in the village in the evening, and even Tang Yin felt very tired, not to mention Di Yuan, the right minister with fine skin and tender meat.

Tang Yin was also happy, in the past few days of contact, he found that Di Yuan is a living map, where there are mountains and forests, where there are towns, he remembers it clearly, and it also saves them a lot of detours. "Thanks to bringing Di Yuan out at the beginning," Tang Yin secretly rejoiced.

"It's still early, we might as well go to the teahouse over there to rest first, and then find an inn." Jiang Fan touched the beads of sweat on his head, obviously tired enough.

"Okay, let's go to the teahouse to rest." Tang Yin smiled, turned over and dismounted, and walked towards the teahouse with the reins in his hand.

As he was walking, he suddenly heard Shangguan Yuan let out a sullen sound and almost fell. was cursing, but when he looked down, he saw a very delicate bag lying on the ground, he picked it up curiously, and suddenly felt a faint fragrance coming.

Tang Yin saw Shangguan Yuanrang stop and looked back suspiciously, but saw that he was in a daze towards a woman's bag, and couldn't help laughing, "Yuanrang, which little girl gave you a token of love?" It's so obsessive to watch. ”

Shangguan Yuan made the old man blush, and hurriedly lowered his arm. I want to throw away the bag, but I feel like I want to cover it, and I don't know where to put it in my hand, "King..."

"It's Childe!" Tang Yin interrupted him with a smile.

"Yes...... Son. Don't get me wrong, Childe, this is what I picked up on the ground. I just felt that the workmanship was very exquisite, so I took a few more looks. Shangguan Yuanrang hurriedly said and handed the bag to Tang Yin.

Tang Yin saw Shangguan Yuanrang's embarrassed appearance, couldn't help laughing, and took the bag interestingly.

As Shangguan Yuanrang said, the brocade bag is very exquisitely made, with gold wire edging and embroidered with a Pantian phoenix. There are a lot of broken silver in the bag, which looks like enough for an ordinary person to eat and live for a year. Surprisingly, there are some rice-like grains at the bottom of the bag, which is also the one that exudes a charming fragrance.

Tang Yin happily threw the sachet to Shangguan Yuanrang, "Since that's the case, then Yuan should let you keep it." With that, he laughed and walked towards the teahouse.

"Little two? Anyone? When I walked into the teahouse, I found that the downstairs was empty, although it was noon, and there were not many people going out, so much so that there was not even a single figure. Di Yuan was so strange that he shouted loudly.

Suddenly, a high-pitched female voice sounded upstairs, followed by a ping-pong sound, as if someone had fallen. Tang Yin winked, and everyone went upstairs in a whisper to find out.

"I think your store is a black shop! Stealing guests' tips. My silver taels were stolen by the people in your shop! Don't hurry up and give me back the tips! On the second floor, a young woman stood proudly with her waist crossed. A group of big men surrounded her, and they really dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and no one dared to step forward. Not far away, a shopkeeper was lying on the ground, holding his waist and complaining.

"Girl, you know by the way you are dressed that you are the daughter of a big family. If you really forgot to bring the money, we can let you go back and get it. But you falsely accused our shop of stealing your tips and injured our second child, I'm afraid it's unreasonable. A middle-aged man who seemed to be a shopkeeper walked out and said slightly angrily.
