Since Yanshan became the crown prince, he moved to the East Palace.

Beside him, there are a group of capable people brought from Luzhou.

Zhu Zhongjun told him many times that in the future, when he became the lord of the world, these people would be the marquis and pay homage to the prime minister, so looking at them now needs to be careful and accurate.

We must know how to use people and develop our strengths and avoid weaknesses.

From the beginning of the fight against the country, they must learn how to govern the country in the future.

Among the people around Yan Shan, he is more important.

Zhu Zhongjun took the examples of Emperor Hongde and Yuan Yuye many times and told Yanshan: "Trust him, but you can't favor him." ”

Yan Shan said every time: "Father rest assured"

He felt that Emperor Hongde probably lacked the love of his parents, so his relationship with Yuan Yuye reached that point. From childhood to adulthood, his father and stepfather loved him, taught him, and his mother accompanied him.

He is the same age as Zhang Guihong, so naturally he will not favor him.

These days, the court has gradually embarked on the right path, and Yanshan also has to help his father review the chapters. He was in the imperial study, learning little by little, and did not return to the East Palace until night.

Finally staying up to the ten-day holiday, Yan Shan breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought, tomorrow, while he was resting, he would go to Zhang's house to have a look.

Zhang Guihong's father, Zhang Shuhe, has been named the head of the household, and the emperor has given him a huge courtyard, which has just been renovated and moved to a new home. The courtyard turned out to be the former Nanchang Royal Mansion Annex, which was next door to the Luyang Royal Mansion Annex.

When Yan Shan was a child, he didn't live in the Luyang Wangfu Annex for a long time.

His parents did live in Beijing for a long time, but at that time, Yanshan followed his father-in-law out and walked the rivers and lakes. Rao is like this, the annex is still the former home, and Yanshan also wants to stop by to see it.

On the second day, Yanshan got up early.

Today, my father is also resting, and he will not leave Kunning Palace at all.

His parents. is still so affectionate, which makes Yanshan both envious and gratified.

Yan Shan didn't go to Kunning Palace to disturb his parents, but went directly to Zhang's house. He planned to walk around with Zhang Guihong today, except to see the annex of Luyang Palace. Look elsewhere too.

Zhang Guihong should be the first time to enter Beijing, and he must want to see everywhere.

When he arrived at Zhang's house, Uncle Zhang and Xiu Mu were at home today, and when they saw Yanshan, they greeted him with trepidation

Zhang Guihong did not come out.

"I didn't know that the prince arrived today, Guihong went out early in the morning." Uncle Zhang said with a smile.

"Oh, where did you go?" Yan Shan was a little puzzled.

He told Zhang Guihong a few days ago that he would go to Zhang's house to have a look. If the house is repaired inappropriately, Yanshan will repair it again. After seeing the Zhang family's house, let's go shopping in the streets and alleys of the capital together.

At that time, Zhang Guihong said that he knew. Welcome to the Prince's.

Knowing that he was resting today, how could Zhang Guihong go shopping by himself?

It doesn't make sense.

Yan Shan stared at Zhang Shuhe, trying to see clues from his face.

Uncle Zhang and really stammered a little, where did Zhang Guihong go, and said a little bluntly: "I went to Guanyin Temple"

"Guanyin Temple is closed today. There is no bazaar, what is he going to do? Yan Shan asked.

Zhang Shuhe was stunned for a moment.

He didn't know that there was no market in Guanyin Temple today.

He looked embarrassed, opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but Yan Shan said again: "I'm sorry for you, I don't know if there is a market in Guanyin Temple at all." Your reaction shows that you are also blaming me, Guihong did not go to Guanyin Temple. What happened to him? ”

Speaking of the last sentence. Yan Shan was a little annoyed.

Zhang Shuhe had to sigh silently and explained: "Prince, Guihong has suffered a little injury, and Weichen is afraid that the prince will be worried."

"Take me to see it!" Yan Shan interrupted Zhang Shuhe's words.

Zhang Shuhe had to take Yanshan to see Zhang Guihong.

As a result, Zhang Guihong was not a minor injury at all, but a serious injury. Lying on the bed with a snow-white face.

He was struck with a sword in the vent, wounding his guts.

The Imperial Physician was not sure if he could be saved.

Yan Shan was shocked: "Gui Hong, Gui Hong, what's wrong?" ”

Zhang Guihong was unconscious.

Uncle Zhang's face was gloomy.

He lowered his head and said after a while, "Yesterday." King Yong went to the house and fought with Guihong. Gui Hong's skills are not as good as others, and he was stabbed."

King Yong is the title of the second brother Yanying.

Yan Ying and Zhang Guihong's grievances, Yan Shan also knows a little.

It's for Gu Yi.

The third cousin, Gu Yi and Zhang Guihong, are in love with each other, and they have already made a private decision for life, just waiting for the war to marry a man and a woman.

But the second brother likes Gu Yi, and that started when he was five or six years old. He always pestered Gu Yi. At first, he didn't show his intentions, Gu Yi had to deliberately distance himself from him, and it was not easy to directly talk about her and Zhang Guihong.

It is not permissible to give and receive in private, and it will ruin Gu Yi's reputation

。 Therefore, Gu Yi didn't dare to tell anyone.

The matter of the two being happy with each other, only Gu Yi and Zhang Guihong themselves know.

It wasn't until they broke through the capital and the second brother was crowned King Yong that he told Gu Yi that he wanted to marry Gu Yi as his princess Yong.

Gu Yi immediately said that she had already reconciled with Zhang Guihong and would not marry King Yong.

Yan Ying listened, went to the East Palace to find Zhang Guihong, and couldn't help but say that she punched Zhang Guihong and told him to get out, and he was not allowed to marry his cousin.

Zhang Guihong looked gentle and quiet, but he was very stubborn. He has a deep affection for Gu Yi, how could he give up because of Yan Ying? Besides, as a man, it is also a shame to retreat without a fight.

Zhang Guihong told Yanying that he would not quit, he wanted to propose marriage to the Gu family. If Yanying is also interested, she agrees to propose marriage. Gu Yinai is the daughter of a good family, and a daughter is begged by a hundred families, which is glorious.

Whoever can marry depends on his ability.

Later, Yan Shan didn't know what was going on.

He was too busy to help his father deal with the government. He always thought it was just a mess between the kids. Yan Ying's feelings for Gu Yi are long, not necessarily deep, knowing that Gu Yi has a heart, and it will be sad for a few days.

Who knows, Yan Ying actually made such a ruthless hand to Zhang Guihong.

One is his younger brother and the other is his best friend, Yan Shan's fists clenched tightly.

Previously, what he was most worried about was whether Zhang Guihong could survive.

"What did the doctor say, how many days has he been in a coma?" Yan Shan asked Zhang Shuhe, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" If Guihong has any mistakes, it will be my big loss, and you are actually hiding it from me! ”

Uncle Zhang hung his head helplessly.

How to tell the prince?

If you do. It is to provoke discord between the prince and King Yong.

During the war, King Yong's military achievements were outstanding, and the crown prince was much secondary. The crown prince is the eldest son, so he sealed the East Palace. The faction that supported King Yong secretly shouted that he was not convinced.

The emperor once made it clear that whoever dares to sow discord between the crown prince and King Yong will be killed!

Uncle Zhang had this concern, so he naturally didn't dare to tell the prince, so as not to be suspected of provoking.

Besides, Zhang Guihong and Yanying competed in martial arts, and Zhang Guihong himself agreed.

If you agree to the competition, it is life and death!

This does not depend on King Yong, but Zhang Guihong's skills are not as good as others.

"Prince, you are busy with the anointing of the sundial. Wechen didn't dare to bother with such a trivial matter. Uncle Zhang and Dao.

"A trifle?" Yan Shan rolled in one breath.

He was trying to slap Yanying twice at the moment, so that he could be sensible and not be as willful as he was when he was a child.

"Has he been in a coma for a long time?" Yan Shan asked again.

"I was injured the day before yesterday, but I woke up yesterday evening and took medicine. And so it is today

。 Uncle Zhang and Dao.

Yan Shan knew that Zhang Guihong was the son of Uncle Zhang and Mrs. Zhengfang.

Uncle Zhang has many other sons. And they are all Zhilan Yushu, no worse than Zhang Guihong. Uncle Zhang doesn't particularly love Zhang Guihong.

He will not bear the suspicion of provoking the prince and King Yong for the sake of Zhang Guihong.

****

Yanshan sat in Zhang Guihong's room all day.

It wasn't until dusk that Zhang Guihong woke up.

The room was lit with lights, and Zhang Guihong's breath was faint. Seeing that it was Yan Shan, he shouted weakly: "Prince"

Then he said, "Weichen can't get up and salute the prince, and the prince forgives his sins."

"Don't talk this nonsense, how are you now?" Yan Shan was pleasantly surprised when he saw him wake up. "I have called my uncle and my father-in-law, all of whom are skilled doctors who will be able to cure you." Call them in now? ”

Zhang Guihong nodded and said okay.

Gu Chenzhi and Lin Yi waited in the outhouse for a long time.

It's not just Gu Chenzhi who came. Gu Yi also came.

Her eyes were swollen from crying.

When she was fighting in the past, she was worried every day, afraid that Zhang Guihong would die in battle. finally survived until the end of the war, and she let go of her heart for four years, thinking that the next thing was to spend the full moon.

Who knows, Yan Ying interjected.

Gu Yi never thought that Yan Ying had that kind of affection for her. She only treats Yanying as a brother.

Yan Ying doesn't have a younger brother, so when she gets along with Yan Ying, she unconsciously transfers some family affection and treats him differently. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be today's bitter fruit.

Zhang Guihong glanced at the people who came in.

Seeing Gu Yi, he smiled at her slightly and said, "I'm okay."

He said it was okay, he said it to Gu Yi, but his eyes didn't dare to fall on Gu Yi.

Gu Yi covered her lips and almost lost her voice.

She is like this, and looking at Zhang Guihong's scene again, Gu Chenzhi has already understood. He had heard his wife Lin Manjing say before that Gu Yi and Zhang Guihong were very close.

Zhang Guihong is a very good child, and Gu Chenzhi is also satisfied.

In the future, it is best for the two children to have a good result.

The relationship between childhood sweethearts is solid. Gu Chenzhi hopes that his daughter will marry a man who really loves her and understands her, instead of climbing high branches for wealth, so Gu Chenzhi and his wife acquiesced to Gu Yi and Zhang Guihong's relationship.

Gu Yi didn't know.

She always thought she was careful.

"I'll take a look." Gu Chen took a few steps forward and walked to Zhang Guihong's couch, "It's okay or not, the doctor has the final say." ”

Zhang Guihong stretched out his hand and gave Gu Chenzhi a pulse.

Gu Chenzhi gave Zhang Guihong the pulse, and his heart sank

。 Then, he looked around the wound again, and his heart sank even harder.

He was afraid that his diagnosis was wrong, so he said to Lin Yi: "Brother Lin, you can come and see"

Lin Yi and Yan Shan are both smart people, and from Gu Chenzhi's performance, they know that Zhang Guihong is not good, not good!

External injuries are not like internal diseases.

The trauma comes ferociously and does not give the drug a chance.

The doctor was helpless.

Yan Shan's heart was half cold.

His scalp was numb.

Lin Yi stepped forward and also diagnosed Zhang Guihong's pulse.

Uncle Zhang and Gu Yi stood at the back, not daring to disturb the two doctors.

After Lin Yi cut his pulse for a while, he silently withdrew his hand and said nothing.

"Guihong, you have a good rest, I will ask my uncle and father-in-law to prescribe a prescription for you." It's a bit cold. Yan Shan had no choice but to speak.

Why is Zhang Guihong not smart? Lin Yi and Gu Chenzhi's expressions and reactions, Zhang Guihong could see them clearly. And his own body, he himself counts.

I'm afraid his injury won't heal.

He smiled slightly. Nodding.

His gaze shifted and fell on Gu Yi's head again.

Yan Shan understood, several people went out, and said to Gu Yi: "Third cousin, you take care of Guihong for a while, and we will come after we have opened the prescription." ”

Gu Yi nodded.

As soon as everyone left, she burst into tears.

"Why are you reckless, and fight him with the sword? He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he has only learned to kill people with a sword over the years. Gu Yi's voice was hoarse. Crying so much, "What do you do now?" ”

Zhang Guihong sighed helplessly.

If you don't compare, what can you do?

Let King Yong keep pestering and making trouble?

In this way, what about Gu Yi's reputation?

Moreover, Zhang Guihong has been in the same place all his life. Nor has he ever been afraid of anyone. No matter how strong the opponent is, he dares to challenge. He was a man of courage and resourcefulness, and he was never afraid.

Especially when it comes to winning over his lover, he is even less afraid.

Who knows that King Yong's martial arts practice is so exquisite.

Zhang Guihong was suppressed by him and was powerless.

King Yong stabbed in with a sword, and Zhang Guihong's heart was all cold. He could feel it. The sword had pierced too deeply, and I was afraid that it had already hurt his internal organs.

"If I survive, we will get married, and we won't have to wait for next year." Zhang Guihong's voice was weak, "If I don't survive, you don't have to be sad for me." ”

Gu Yi finally held back her tears. It is like a bead with a broken thread, rolling down

"When you talk like that, you just want to force me to death." Gu Yi cried, "You can't think like this. It's just a little bit of an injury. You were injured at the beginning, didn't you come here."

It's because I've been hurt. With a comparison in his heart, Zhang Guihong was sure that he was only afraid that he would really not work.

He doesn't want to be so pessimistic.

He looked at Gu Yi's face, regretting that he couldn't tie the knot with her when he met a young man, and he wanted to drag her down to be sad for herself.

Zhang Guihong's mother has passed away, and his father has many concubines and sons, so he doesn't feel that he can't let go of his family.

The only thing that is difficult to give up is this Gu Yi, who has been infatuated with him for many years and is looking forward to growing old with him.

Here, Gu Yi cried pitifully.

Yan Shan outside was also completely dumbfounded.

"Hurt the spleen" Lin Yi and Gu Chenzhidu told Yan Shan, "If the sword goes down, it will be doomed. Arrange the aftermath as soon as possible, I can't stand it tonight. ”

Yan Shan's mind went blank.

In the past four years, Yanshan has also rolled over from the pile of dead. At the beginning, the general he knew died, and he was heartbroken. Later, it gradually became numb.

To this day, that feeling is back.

Yan Shan couldn't wait, waiting to see Zhang Guihong die.

He remembered that he told his mother four years ago that if he became the head of the family in the future, Zhang Guihong would be his chief steward. Then, if he becomes the lord of the country, Zhang Guihong will be the head of the ministers.

Yanshan has never changed his original intention.

He abruptly stood up and rushed out.

****

He went back to the palace and looked for Yanying.

Yan Ying and Yan Shao are still living in the palace, and their royal mansion has not yet been built.

Yan Ying was practicing swords in the courtyard.

Yan Shan rushed up, didn't care about anything, and slapped Yan Ying twice.

Yan Ying was stunned by him.

The room was full of bewilderment.

The thin and slender figure standing under the eaves, she was also stunned when she saw this scene.

Gu Jinzhi had nothing to do today, so he walked around and looked at the children. Yan Shan was not in the East Palace, so Gu Jinzhi came to Yan Ying. Yan Ying said that she wanted to play the sword to show Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Jinzhi took the palace people, stood under the eaves, and watched Yan Ying practice.

This is just the beginning, Yan Shan rushed in like this, ignoring the thirty-seven twenty-one, and slapped Yanying twice.

As the saying goes, hitting someone doesn't slap you in the face

Gu Jinzhi stood up, she thought that Yan Ying would definitely fight back.

Their brothers are going to fight.

Unexpectedly, Yan Ying's eyes just widened angrily, her fingers tightly grasped the hilt of the sword, and after suppressing her emotions, she took two steps back and said, "You are my brother."

。 I'll let you go back once. What did I do to hit me like this? ”

"What did you do?" Yan Shan's eyes were red, like an angry lion, and he grabbed Yan Ying's collar. "Zhang Guihong, he's dying! You killed my best friend, and you still ask what you did! ”

Gu Jinzhi stopped.

Yan Ying was undoubtedly stunned.

Then, he sneered: "He promised to compete with the sword himself." If I don't hurt him, he will hurt me. You didn't see him trying to kill me like crazy! ”

Then, he pushed hard and pushed Yan Shan backwards, "Okay, good!" Our brotherhood. It's not as good as outsiders. If you disregard humanity like this and slap me in the face, we will break off in the future! ”

Yan Shan was thrown to the ground by him, and green tendons popped out of his forehead and sideburns.

The brothers are like two angry lions, hating to tear each other apart.

"Yan Ying. Yanshan! Gu Jinzhi finally spoke up and called them.

*****

Gu Jinzhi's words suddenly froze the atmosphere.

The brothers were stunned.

When they argued, one did not see his mother, and the other forgot his mother. It was only at this moment that the two watched them fight like this until their mother was here.

The mother was most afraid of their brother's discord.

Gu Jinzhi came from under the eaves. Step by step, he walked out.

One of her legs was inconvenient, and she walked very slowly, as if she was slowly stepping on the hearts of Yanying and Yanshan.

The brothers only felt that their hearts were suffocated, and they couldn't breathe.

Especially Yan Shan, he didn't dare to look at Gu Jinzhi.

He looked away.

"Does it hurt?" When Yan Shan fell to the ground, his cheek was broken by a stone. Bloodstains were revealed.

Yan Shan's whole body was tense.

He quickly shook his head.

"Do you hurt?" Gu Jinzhi asked Yan Ying, who had been slapped twice.

Yan Ying also hurriedly shook her head.

He looked at Gu Jinzhi nervously and wanted to apologize.

Gu Jinzhi turned around and walked out slowly.

Her voice revealed a thick disappointment: "But my mother is distressed."

"Queen Mother!"

"Queen Mother!"

Yan Shan and Yan Ying hurriedly stepped forward to help Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Jinzhi ignored it and took the phoenix back to Kunning Palace.

The brothers followed suit

。 Arrived at Kunning Palace.

Gu Jinzhi sat down in the main hall, and the two of them knelt on the ground.

The marble floor shone brightly, reflecting their faces.

"Yan Shan, you say it first" Gu Jinzhi sat in silence for a long time before speaking. At this time, her mood had eased a little.

Yan Shan told Gu Jinzhi about Zhang Guihong one by one.

After Yanshan finished speaking, Gu Jinzhi asked Yanying to also say, "You also tell me, what's going on?" ”

"Mother, I've been good with my third cousin since I was a child, and you and your father know this!" Yan Ying was in a hurry, so she forgot to change her name now, and she was still the same name as before, and told her mother about her grievances, "That Zhang Guihong, who coaxed the third cousin with clever words, I reasoned with him, but he said that I was messing around." Mother, he also proposed the competition. You didn't see what he looked like, he wanted to kill me. If I don't stab him, he will stab me to death.

Mother, the sword has no eyes, and the son has never been unforgiving. If he hadn't pressed forward step by step, had a strong sense of victory, and almost injured his son, his son would not have stabbed him. ”

Then he began to undress.

The summer shirt was thin, and he quickly took off his shirtless shirt to show Gu Jinzhi.

When Gu Jinzhi saw his shirtlessness, he immediately covered his lips, and tears welled up.

Yan Ying is young, with new injuries and old wounds on her body, and several scars. There is a scar, hideous and terrifying.

In the past four years, Gu Jinzhi has not only walked hard. She, her husband, her sons, all had a hard time. Her eyes were suddenly wet, and she couldn't say half a word anymore.

"Big brother, look at it!" Yanying showed the scar to her mother and then to her eldest brother, "I rolled over from the knife." If I don't fight back, I'll lose my life. He was so desperate to kill me, you didn't even see it, but blamed me. If you want me to say, he is looking for death. And you, you asked me what I was going through, and you came up and beat me? ”

Yan Shan also choked.

Their movements finally alarmed Zhu Zhongjun, who was reviewing the recitals in the imperial study.

When Zhu Zhongjun arrived at Kunning Palace, his two sons were scolded.

"Nonsense!" Zhu Zhongjun said to Yan Shan and Yan Ying, "This is the only time, if you don't do it next time, neither of you will be able to run." ”

Then he said to Yan Shan, "It's getting dark." You take the imperial doctors and go to Zhang's house again. Be sure to save his life; If you can't keep it."

If you can't keep it, you can accompany him on the last journey.

When Zhu Zhongjun's words came to his lips, he always felt desolate, so he didn't say it.

Yan Shan understood.

He nodded. got up and saluted his parents, left in a hurry, and went to Zhang's house again.

As soon as Yan Shan left, Zhu Zhongjun scolded Yan Ying even more harshly.

Among the three sons, Zhu Zhongjun is the most beautiful, with deep love and responsibility.

"If Zhang Guihong dies, what reputation will you lose? This has just been built, and I told you a long time ago, don't be reckless, you have never taken your father's words. Heart? Zhu Zhongjun scolded Yan Ying.

Yan Ying was also aggrieved

"Father, you don't know how arrogant Zhang Guihong is! I went to him to theorize and asked him not to pester my third cousin, but he actually said that I shouldn't be entangled. Moreover, the competition was also proposed by him. Yan Ying said. His posture was to kill me. ”

"How dare you talk back! What's the use of saying all this now? Zhu Zhongjun was even more angry when he was hit by Yan Ying, "If he is dead, how can others pay attention to your explanation?" Such an incident not only ruined your reputation, but also added a rift between your brothers. Wait for your father and your mother for a hundred years. What can you do? ”

Yan Ying didn't dare to talk back anymore.

He bowed his head aggrievedly.

He wanted to say, if someone covets his mother, do you want to fight hard?

Back then, it was just that the emperor looked at his mother a few more times, and you rose up against his world.

Now, I'm just competing with people and hurting them by mistake. You scolded me like that!

"Wait for tomorrow, whether Zhang Guihong is dead or not, you go and apologize to your eldest brother." Zhu Zhongjun finally said, "Otherwise, I won't spare you!" ”

"Yes." Yan Ying said.

He withdrew. I went back to my palace.

The more he thought about it, the more sad he felt.

It seems like he's wrong.

What was wrong with him?

Could it be that he let Zhang Guihong stab a sword, is he doing it right?

Especially when the eldest brother slapped him twice, Yan Ying really felt cold. The brother he trusted so much actually beat him for outsiders. His father demanded that he make amends.

Yan Ying was so angry that she didn't sleep all night.

The next day, I heard that Zhang Guihong had died.

After hearing this, Yan Ying was also stunned.

He remembered that his sword, which was not pierced deeply, why did he die?

He had no intention of killing.

He stabbed Zhang Guihong's sword, just to protect himself, otherwise Zhang Guihong would have stabbed him.

But when people die, there is more or less Yanying's fault.

Yan Ying thought of his father's words and asked him to go to the East Palace to make amends.

He had no choice but to get up and go to the East Palace.

The palace attendants in the East Palace all knew Yan Ying, and they all said that the prince was in the West Garden and no one was allowed to approach. Yan Ying didn't care, and broke in personally.

Walking outside the garden of the East Palace, he heard someone talking.

The speaker was Liu Shang, the advisor next to the eldest brother.

"King Yong's merits are high, how can he be willing to be a man for a long time? Weichen once heard that King Yong blatantly spread rumors, saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not born prematurely, but not His Majesty's own birth. Liu Shang said.

Yan Ying's anger suddenly came up.

Yan Ying has indeed heard the rumor that the eldest brother is not born to his father

。 But he never believed it.

These words are not only an insult to his eldest brother, but also an insult to his mother.

Yan Ying is an affectionate person.

If he loves someone, he will be very affectionate.

Therefore, he did not allow others to insult his mother and eldest brother.

Now that I heard Liu Shang say this to the eldest brother, Yan Ying was originally standing behind the flower stand, and suddenly came out.

Yan Shan met Liu Shang by chance.

He didn't know that Liu Shang would say the latter words, so he was not vigilant and did not pay attention. This is not a private conversation between him and Liu Shang.

But he was also defenseless, Yanying was here.

When Yan Ying came in, Yan Shan didn't know.

"You fart!" Yan Ying's eyes were round with anger, her face was red with anger, and she forced Liu Shang to say, "This king was born as the second child, and he has always been under the eldest brother!" How can it be a long time to be willing to go down, what kind of bullshit is this! ”

Liu Shang was so frightened that his soul was scattered, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Yanying.

Yan Ying's anger was so hot that she didn't lose a point, and turned to glare at Yan Shan: "Why don't you speak?" Do you think that I covet your crown prince? Although I have been domineering since I was a child, I deserve what I want. When have I ever coveted something that doesn't belong to me? We brothers have been brothers for more than ten years, do you think I will rob you of the crown prince?

My affection for you, in your opinion, is all bullshit? The villain said. You are not born to your father, why don't you refute it, why don't you smack him hard?

This is an insult to the queen mother, why don't you speak? Why don't you slap him hard, like you slapped me? You're going to hit me, why not hit the person who really hurts you?

Or, do you think so yourself, and you look down on me, the queen mother, and even yourself? ”

Yan Shan looked at Yan Ying in amazement.

His eyes. A little flickering.

This flickering completely angered Yan Ying.

He quickly approached and slapped Yan Shan twice: "Give it back to you!" Our brotherhood will be cut off from now on! You're a coward at heart! ”

Let's talk about it. He turned away.

****

What happened in the East Palace quickly reached the ears of Zhu Zhongjun and Gu Jinzhi. asked Yanying to apologize, just hoping that their brother would not have a gap, and he didn't want to bring out such a thing again.

This feud can be regarded as completely settled.

Yan Ying didn't know where to go.

Zhu Zhongjun ordered someone to take Liu Shang and execute him.

Yan Shan had just lost his best friend and was slapped twice by Yan Ying. Zhu Zhongjun didn't know what to say about him. After all, Yanshan didn't do anything wrong.

But Zhu Zhongjun, like Yanying, felt discouraged.

Yan Shan has just entered the East Palace, so he is on guard against his brothers.

Zhu Zhongjun went to the imperial study

Yan Shan stayed in Kunning Palace.

He sat beside his mother and was silent for a long time.

Gu Jinzhi was also silent for a long time.

"Mother" for a long time, Yan Shancai's voice was hoarse. "My son has never disrespected you!"

"I know." Gu Jinzhi's voice was also hoarse.

She closed her eyes slightly.

But a gossip has made today's bitter wine.

Sure enough, Gu Jinzhi thought that if it was said that the people in this world believed in her, it was Zhu Zhongjun and Yan Shan. I don't think so. In the end, it was not Yan Shan who believed in her, but Yan Ying.

Thinking of the years when he was worried about Yanshan, Gu Jinzhi felt that those hardships were a little in vain.

"There you go." Gu Jinzhi was silent for a moment, and said to Yan Shan, "Zhang Guihong is gone." No matter how he and Yan Ying fought, outsiders just saw Yan Ying kill him. Go and appease others, so that others will not misunderstand. Once there is a misunderstanding, I can't explain it for the rest of my life."

Yan Shan's heart was sad.

He raised his eyes to look at his mother, and his vision was a little hazy: "Mother"

"Go ahead!" Gu Jinzhi had already turned around and returned to the inner hall, no longer talking to Yan Shan.

Yan Shan had no choice but to leave.

His steps were vain, and he felt powerless.

The day before yesterday, the spring breeze was proud, but today, the wind and rain are changing.

He was wrong, really wrong.

The mistake is in thinking nonsense, the mistake is in looking down on Yanying, and the mistake is that you trust your parents less.

He came out of Kunning Palace in a daze, and the bright day pierced his eyes.

It was bright in front of him, but he didn't know where he was going.

***

After Yanying and Yanshan fell out, they ran out.

He didn't come back until dusk.

He went straight to his father's imperial study.

If there is anything in Yanshan, discuss it with her mother first, and if Yanying has anything, she will tell her father first.

"Father, my son wants to go to Guangxi." Yan Ying said.

Zhu Zhongjun stared at him suddenly and said, "Don't mess around!" You are the king of Yong, and Jingshi is your fiefdom. Guangxi is remote and barren, there are many rebellions, and only exiled people go to Guangxi! ”

"Erchen knows!" Yan Ying met her father's angry eyes and said firmly, "Father, Erchen has been thinking about it all day, not for a while, you listen to Erchen."

Erchen shouldn't have competed with Zhang Guihong, and injured him, causing him to die a tragic death. Sooner or later, the courtiers will impeach their sons, and the father and emperor will also be embarrassed by the time; Second, the eldest brother is not at ease with his sons, always in front of him, and resentment and suspicion will accumulate more and more. When his parents are alive, he may care about family affection, if his parents are gone, how can he spare his sons? If we have a dispute, you and the queen mother will not be at ease even if we go to the spring

Third, Erchen has indeed made outstanding achievements. The retainers don't have crooked thoughts, but it's hard to guarantee that the other courtiers don't. If someone wants to take advantage of the loophole, take advantage of Erchen's cronies, and then build momentum for Erchen outside, and force Erchen to seize the position of the East Palace, at that time, he will definitely speak as a former typhoid brother. Until then. It hurt not only the royal dignity and the eldest brother, but also the mother.

Father, the son always remembers, you told the son. The queen mother was afraid that she would not be intimate with her children in the future, so she kept nursing our four brothers and sisters herself. At that time, there was not enough milk, and the queen mother drank fish soup without salt, and it was nine months to drink it.

Erchen had drunk something without salt, and the taste was very unpleasant.

The hard work of the queen mother, the eldest brother can be accustomed to it, but the sons dare not forget it.

Fourth, in the hearts of the sons, there is only one person who loves, that is, the third cousin. It's like a father's affection for his mother. The son of the reins will never swerve in this life. If he stayed in Beijing, Zhang Guihong's matter would come first, but he was afraid of gossip and hurt his third cousin. Erchen wanted to take her to Guangxi.

There were many rebellions in Guangxi. The people are fierce. The son is a martial artist, and he is willing to protect the peace of the party and the stability of his father's country. ”

Zhu Zhongjun listened quietly and did not interrupt him.

At this moment, he thought of Rong Nan.

"Yanying, you said so much, all for the sake of your parents, brothers, and cousins. What about yourself? Zhu Zhongjun asked him, "Back then, you couldn't get off the horse with a slight injury, did you just want to leave today?" What about your ambitions, what about your ambitions, what about the life you envision? ”

Yan Ying lowered her head to hide the tears in the corners of her eyes.

The life he visioned. It's just that he married his third cousin and has a few children of his own.

The parents are alive and the brothers are in harmony.

"Dad, you said it when I was very young. I'm a stubborn person. Yan Ying stood up and kowtowed to Zhu Zhongjun, "Dad, while our relationship has not changed, you agree to your son's request." If you don't agree, your son will sneak away, is it possible that you have to tie up your son for the rest of your life? ”

After that, he didn't wait for Zhu Zhongjun to speak, got up and left.

"Yanying!" Zhu Zhongjun shouted at him behind him.

Yan Ying ignored it and shook her head away.

Zhu Zhongjun sat there in a daze.

He thought about it a lot.

is very cruel, he thinks that what Yan Ying said is the truth. If you don't let Yan Ying go now, between him and Yan Shan, sooner or later someone will provoke it. When the time comes, their brothers will fight each other, both will lose, and Zhu Zhongjun may lose two sons at the same time.

He thought of Rong Nan in his previous life.

"You're not my dad!" He always remembered Rong Nan's last words.

Rong Nan really hated him.

Gu Jinzhi died, Rong Nan took Gu Jinzhi's ashes away, not to mention that he was not notified of the last side, even the ashes, Rong Nan did not let Zhu Zhongjun see them.

If you still leave Yan Ying at home, will it give Yan Ying useless hope?

When the time comes, will the father-son relationship between him and Yanying also be the same as Rong Nan?

Many things that Zhu Zhongjun and Gu Jin experienced in their previous lives have been reproduced one by one

In the imperial study, Zhu Zhongjun sat motionless for two hours.

Then, he got up and went to Kunning Palace and told Gu Jinzhi about it.

He learned Yan Ying's original words to Gu Jinzhi.

"Ridiculous!" Gu Jin said, "He doesn't even want his parents?" You let him come, I scold him! ”

A change of power will change a lot of things.

From the moment he decided to start the incident, Gu Jinzhi felt that he was prepared.

But at this moment, she still felt caught off guard.

"Gu Jinzhi, let him go!" Zhu Zhongjun said, "Give him more money every year." When he went to Guangxi, he was free, perhaps, that was his paradise! ”

"You're crazy!" Gu Jinzhi raised his voice suddenly, "That's my son!" I don't care what happens to your fathers, sons, and brothers. My son, let no one go. Yan Shan has already disappointed me like this, and Yan Ying has also done this."

As she spoke, her voice choked.

Zhu Zhongjun gently hugged her shoulders.

Gu Jinzhi pushed him away and didn't let him touch him.

"My Rong Nan, is it possible that I have no mother-son friendship with him for two lifetimes?" Gu Jinzhi finally cried and said, "I'm not convinced, I've worked hard to be a mother, it's not fair!" ”

At this moment, she would rather go back to Luzhou.

It was not until this moment that Gu Jinzhi had to admit that her life had changed beyond recognition.

She closed her eyes slightly, and a hot tear fell from the corner of her eye.

***

Yan Ying is a strong-minded person.

He doesn't covet the exuberance.

To give up family affection and leave her parents, Yanying is also very painful. But he put himself over this hurdle, he no longer looked back weakly, he had made a decision, next. is to persuade Gu Yi to go with him.

He went to Gu's house.

Gu Yi was in her yard.

She locked herself in her room, her eyes were swollen like walnuts, and her hair was uncombed, and she was embarrassed.

Saw someone coming in. Gu Yi saw from her hazy vision that it was Yan Ying.

The man who killed her sweetheart.

In vain, she thinks he is his own brother!

Gu Yi suddenly lifted the pillow in his hand and smashed it at him: "Get out, you get out!" You murderer! ”

Yan Ying was smashed by the knot.

He still helped Gu Yi pick up the pillow and put it on the bed.

He sat down beside Gu Yi

Gu Yi reached out to hit him.

The fist was not heavy, but it was like a hammer, all of which smashed on Yan Ying's heart.

Now, he finally determined that Gu Yi and Zhang Guihong were in love, and Zhang Guihong did not lie to him.

Gu Yi. has always regarded him as a filial son.

But he didn't give up hope.

He was still beaten by Gu Yi.

Until Gu Yi was tired, he said to him coldly: "Get out, don't come again, I'll be disgusted when I look at you." ”

Yan Ying's heart was stabbed again.

He was still suppressing his grief. told Gu Yi that he was about to go away: "Are you willing to follow me?" Although Guangxi is barren, I am good to you."

Gu Yi suddenly sneered: "You are afraid of crime and abscond, and you still want me to follow you?" ”

Laughing and laughing, she cried again and scolded Yanying, "I hate you to die!" Why are you just going to Guangxi. Why aren't you going to die! If you die, no one in this world will care about you. But Zhang Guihong is dead, and I can't live either. The most damned person is you! ”

She roared hysterically.

The maidservants came in and held her down.

Gu Yi's almost crazy appearance was deeply imprinted in Yan Ying's mind.

He returned to the palace in a trance.

Next. He went to the imperial study again and knelt down and begged his father to let him go south. He said, "If you don't allow me to go, I'll go secretly!" You are gracious, at least the son can say goodbye to the queen mother and Tongtong and Yanshao openly, so that he will not go alone. ”

Zhu Zhongjun's heart. It seems to be clutched tightly.

He was silent.

That promise is too rational to say.

Yan Ying knelt for four days in a row, and the courtiers really began to impeach Yan Ying for murder, so Zhu Zhongjun said, "Okay, you can go." ”

When he said this, his voice was so high that he seemed to cry, but he tried his best to suppress it. This voice is more poignant than crying. Yan Ying's eyes suddenly became wet.

He kowtowed to his father: "Thank you father, Emperor Longen, 8 emperors, thousands of generations." ”

Then, Yanying went to Kunning Palace again and told her mother about it herself.

Gu Jinzhi knew that now that he had come to this point, it was most appropriate to leave now. But she was reluctant, she hugged Yanying and cried bitterly.

Yan Ying was extremely persistent.

He went on the road in simple clothes, packed up the next day, and was about to go on a long journey.

Zhu Zhongjun took his wife and children to see Yanying at the noon gate.

"Coming back every year!" Gu Jinzhi repeatedly told him, "Mother will miss you!" ”

Yan Ying was silent and did not answer.

Tongtong and Yanshao were completely confused

。 They had no idea what was going on.

Yan Shan stood beside Gu Jinzhi.

He looked guilty, and there were a thousand words he wanted to keep, but he couldn't say half a word.

Yanying kowtows to her father.

Zhu Zhongjun told him: "When you arrive in Guangxi, you must send letters to Beijing regularly." This time, you should only be distracted. When I'm in a good mood, I'll go back to Beijing. I and your mother are looking forward to you. ”

Yan Ying said yes.

"Second brother" Yan Shan just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Yan Ying.

Yan Ying drank him: "Shut up!" I said it last time, let's break off, I'm not your brother, you don't deserve it! Don't talk to me! ”

Yan Shan's eyes were full of water.

"Yanying, you heard my brother say" Yan Shan took a few steps forward and wanted to formally apologize.

Yan Ying left him aside and hugged Tongtong.

Although Tongtong was at a loss, she also saw some clues.

"Second brother, when are you coming back?" Tongtong asked.

Yan Ying just smiled and touched Tongtong's head.

Then, he hugged Yan Shao again and patted Yan Shao on the shoulder.

Yan Shao didn't know that the second brother was leaving until today. He hadn't recovered from the shock yet.

After saying goodbye one by one, Yan Ying boarded his horse.

At the moment when he was about to get on the horse, he suddenly stopped and asked Gu Jinzhi: "Mother, you once said that there was a Taoist priest who told you fortunes back then, saying that you would be the mother of the world." Have you ever told my fortune? Is it that I am destined to be lonely all my life? ”

Gu Jinzhi looked at him with wide eyes.

Yan Ying didn't wait for her mother to answer, turned over on the horse, drove away, and flew in the dust.

Gu Jinzhi unconsciously burst into tears.

Yanying, who went to Guangxi, finally lost her word. He only returned to the capital once in his life, that is, ten years later, Gu Yi died, he came back to worship and took away a set of clothes that Gu Yi was usually used to wearing.

Gu Yi never married until she died.

Another twelve years passed, when Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun both died one after another, Yanshan succeeded to the throne, and Yan Ying handed over the recital from Guangxi, asking the court to canonize his wife Gu as the concubine of King Yong.

Gu's identity and origin, all of which are Gu Yi.

At that time, Gu Yi had been dead for 12 years.

Yanshan's life, Du Yanying was full of guilt. He didn't ask much, approved Yan Ying's recital, and canonized Gu as the concubine of King Yong.

At that time, Yan Shan didn't quite understand Yan Ying's intentions.

It wasn't until half a year later that news came back from Guangxi, saying that King Yong was dying and buried with Princess Gu in Guangxi, that Yanshan understood the intention of the letter half a year ago.

Yan Ying wants to be buried with Gu Yi

。 Life and death are the same acupuncture, which is Yanying's last wish.

At that moment, Yan Shan, who was already in his prime, burst into tears.

"Am I destined to be lonely all my life?" In Yan Shan's ears, he still remembered the words of Yan Ying when she asked her mother when she traveled far away.

If you don't think about it, you can say it in a word.

Thinking of this, Yan Shan lay down in the dragon case and cried bitterly.

He thought that his two slaps twenty-two years ago had interrupted his brother's life.

****

For most of the year after Yan Ying left, Zhu Zhongjun and Gu Jinzhi still didn't dare to mention him more, and when they mentioned him, their hearts were pantothenic.

Finally, on Yanying's birthday, Gu Jinzhi specially cooked longevity noodles and distributed them to everyone in the palace to eat.

Yan Ying was born on May 18.

On his birthday, the night sky was clear, and Qionghua was lingering.

Zhu Zhongjun wanted to go to Yanying's former palace to have a look.

Gu Jinzhi followed.

Yan Ying's things have never been touched, and everything is the same as before.

His armor, his sword, all gone. His clothes, his books, and his pen and ink remained.

On the way back, Yuehua stretched the backs of Zhu Zhongjun and Gu Jinzhi very long.

The harmonious and gentle wind lifts the hair.

Gu Jinzhi didn't have much strength, Zhu Zhongjun saw it in his eyes, gently supported her arm, and walked on each other.

Gu Jinzhi asked Zhu Zhongjun: "You say, does Yanying come back every year?" ”

"No, it won't." Zhu Zhongjun said, "Among the children, he is the most stubborn, the same as Rong Nan. ”

Gu Jinzhi was silent.

The clothes were lightly raised, and she suddenly asked, "Do you think that Rong Nan and Yanying are the same person?" ”

Zhu Zhongjun was silent again.

Then he asked Gu Jinzhi: "Are you the same person as you were before?" ”

"I am." Gu Jin's way.

"Me too." Zhu Zhongjun said.

The answer is already self-evident.

The footsteps are slow, sparse and mottled.

Stepping on the branches and leaves of the path, Zhu Zhongjun suddenly stopped.

He looked at Gu Jinzhi, held her hand tightly, and asked, "Gu Jinzhi, do you love me?" ”

"Love!"

"I love you too!"
