Chapter 251
Ye Yichen sat for a while, and Chunjun, the personal servant, came in to report that the eldest grandmother was waiting outside the study and wanted to see him. Look at the latest novel on -_-!Le-_-!Wen-_-!small-_-!say-_-!net (◎ww◎w.l◎w◎x◎s◎.o◎r◎g◎) URL, remember to remove ◎ oh dear
It's been a long time since the eldest grandmother came, and before she came, Chunjun told her to help take care of Ye Minwen. When the prince was not at home, Ye Minwen had been kept in the Qi family's house, and the eldest grandmother was in charge of the inner house of the palace. At that time, the eldest grandmother never asked Ye Minwen about the slightest thing.
The big mama is a smart person. If she holds the whole palace in the palm of her hand, not only will there be many people in the palace who will hate her, but even Ye Yichen may not be able to completely rest assured if she is far away at the border.
Compared with her IQ, she can pinch Qi to death with one hand, but she just let Qi form her own family in the mansion and fight against her.
The eldest grandmother's hometown is from Hebei, but Ye Yichen bought a house for her in the capital and found an errand for her son, and the eldest grandmother also lived in the capital. Although she left the palace, she had a lot of dealings with the servants in the palace, and she was well-informed, and she knew most of the things in the palace.
Ye Yichen alienated the red sleeves and imprisoned the Qi family, and only the princess was left alone in the mansion. After watching it for so long, the eldest grandmother has already seen that Ye Yichen really likes this princess.
likes it so much that she is willing to let her take over the power alone, and this kind of treatment is not even enjoyed by her, an old servant who has served the prince for more than ten years. She originally thought that the prince would hold the Qi family or accept another side concubine to contain the princess's power, which was also Ye Yichen's usual method.
When Princess Bai was there, Ye Yichen held the eldest grandmother to contain Princess Bai; After Princess Bai went, Ye Yichen held the Qi clan to contain the eldest grandmother......
It wasn't until Ye Yichen raised Ye Minwen in Yulan House that the eldest grandmother knew how much Ye Yichen valued and loved this new princess.
Ye Yichen is everything else, but he is suspicious...... It's a bit heavy!
When Chunjun picked her up, she was told to come back to take care of Ye Minwen, and the eldest grandmother knew that there was something wrong with the princess.
She had been doing well since she left the palace. The son is a petty official of seven or eight grades in the Wucheng Terracotta Division, with a little power in his hands, and his grandson is five years old and healthy and lively. Ye Yichen has always been generous in terms of money, although she went out of the house, but Ye Yichen gave her silver every once in a while.
She couldn't see clearly how deep the water in the palace was, mainly because she didn't know whether Princess Ludao was really as generous and benevolent as she looked, or if she was so scheming that even the prince couldn't see through it.
She prefers the latter. It may be that she has been in the palace and the palace for too long, and the eldest grandmother is not willing to trust others from the bottom of her bones.
On the way here, she thought about it, what the prince is called, she did it conscientiously, but she must not offend the princess, and she will not get involved in the affairs of the palace.
As a result, she hurried to the palace, the prince and the princess didn't see any of them, Chunjun invited out the housekeeper mother in the princess's courtyard, and Qian's mother politely came forward to greet her, placed her in a small courtyard of a single family in an inner house, and called two maids to wait for her.
This Qian mother, the big mother is also very strange to look at. Obviously there is no scheming at all, but the princess still asks her to take charge of the affairs of the main courtyard!
What is the princess's mind, pretending to be virtuous and generous? Sell well in front of the prince? The big mama couldn't figure out the essentials.
After settling down in the small courtyard, the eldest grandmother didn't know what was going on in the Ludao Mansion and felt uneasy. It's not good to inquire casually, and after waiting for a long time to see Ye Yichen summoned, he went directly to the outer study and came to greet Ye Yichen in person.
Big Mama has this decency.
Ye Yichen was also busy and dizzy, and when he heard that the eldest grandmother was coming, he went out to greet him in person. The eldest grandmother has milked him, and the feelings are naturally different.
After entering the study to see the ceremony, Ye Yichen asked someone to bring a brocade stool for her to sit on, and after a few words of greeting, Ye Yichen asked, "Is Mama in good health?" How is everything at home? ”
The eldest grandmother smiled and said: "Thanks to the blessing of the prince, the old woman is still strong, and the family is fine." ”
Ye Yichen smiled and said gently: "Brother Nurse is a capable person, he is conscientious in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, and he is very valued by the peak, Commander Zhang praised him once and again when he saw me, and it happened that the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division had a shortage of sub-commanders, and I had already said hello to the Ministry of War, so I asked the milk brother to make up for this shortage." The appointment document of the Ministry of War will be issued in a few days! ”
The eldest grandmother was overjoyed when she heard this. stood up and said to Ye Yichen: "Thank you for your grace!" Thank you for your grace! ”
Although the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is only a petty official from the sixth grade, his power is very great, and he is in charge of a lot of things, and the eldest grandmother is naturally grateful to Dade.
Ye Yichen said that her son is "diligent and capable", and there are more diligent and capable people, and what can really sit in that position depends on the relationship between the DPRK and China.
The eldest grandmother thanked and thanked, and Ye Yichen raised her hand: "Grandma doesn't have to be like this!" You deserve it too. ”
The eldest grandmother knows Ye Yichen's temper, he thinks it should be given to you, if you don't ask for it, he will give it to you, he thinks you don't deserve it, even if you ask for it, it's useless.
He has never been stingy with his subordinates.
When the eldest grandmother came, she saw that the atmosphere inside and outside the study was very calm, and she had already known that something big had happened in the Dao, but Ye Yichen's face did not show it at all, and this qi cultivation kung fu was a little more refined than before.
After a few more words of gossip, the eldest grandmother couldn't help it anymore and asked, "I don't know if the prince of Lu Dao called the old woman to come this time, what are your orders?" ”
Ye Yichen's expression had a hint of contemplation: "Mama wants to know that the princess has not been pregnant since she was pregnant, and she has not been able to pass the first three months, and she has been a little unstable since yesterday, and the king invited the imperial doctor in the palace to take a look, and the imperial doctor said that she should be bed rested, not to think too much, and it is best not ......to worry about it at all" did not mention Ye Minwen's matter.
“…… But such a big palace, there is no one in charge, the princess's housekeeper mother is still in the mansion for a short time, the king is afraid that she will not be able to control the field, the mother is the old man next to the king, this time I invite you back, I want to ask you to help manage it for a few more days......"
The eldest grandmother was taken aback, this is not the same thing as what Chunjun said.
The prince said this, and she didn't talk much nonsense: "The old woman is a straight intestine, since the prince doesn't think the old woman is old and has made a mistake, then the old woman will reluctantly help the princess manage it for a few more days, and when the princess is safe, the old woman will go home to enjoy Qingfu!" ”
Ye Yichen smiled when he heard this.
After sending off the nurse, Dr. Bai came, and Dr. Bai came to give Ye Minwen a follow-up. Although Imperial Doctor Gong was also placed in the palace, Ye Yichen didn't want too many people to know about this matter, so he still called Dr. Bai to come over for a follow-up.
He took Doctor Bai into the inner room, and when he saw that Ye Minwen was still unconscious, he couldn't help frowning: "Why haven't you woken up yet?" Is there any obstacle to being in a coma for so long? ”
While taking Ye Minwen's pulse, Doctor Bai looked at Ye Yichen's face and replied cautiously: "The pulse of the eldest young master is much more stable than last night. It's okay to sleep for a while, there is benzoin in this room, it was originally to tell the eldest young master to sleep well, I will prescribe medicine for the eldest young master, I guess I should wake up tonight and tomorrow morning! ”
Doctor Bai prescribed a prescription, Chengying personally went to the pharmacy to grab the medicine, and the little maids decocted the medicine. Ye Yichen watched the nurse pour medicine into Ye Minwen, gave a few more instructions, and went to the main courtyard.
Yulan took Imperial Doctor Gong's prescription, and the atmosphere in the main courtyard had eased a lot. When Ye Yichen walked into the main room, Yulan was drinking medicine from Xiaoyu's hand, this was the second dose. Ye Yichen felt very uncomfortable after watching his son drink the medicine and his wife drinking the medicine.
Yulan's redness is not completely clean, let alone walking, and he doesn't even dare to get out of bed. Seeing Ye Yichen coming in, she hurriedly drank the decoction.
Ye Yichen said pityingly: "Slow down, slow down!" ”
Xiaoyu went down with the medicine bowl after giving the salute, and the other maids also retreated. There were only two people left in the room, and Ye Yichen sat down on the edge of the bed. asked, "Is it better?" ”
"It's better! Imperial Physician Gong's medicine is still effective, and after drinking it for only half an hour, there is a lot less blood on the lower head. Doctor Gong said that after drinking it for three more days, he could change the recipe. "That means that the tiger and wolf medicine will not be used anymore.
Ye Yichen had only seen her for a day or two, and his face was already haggard, and his chin was even sharper. It's not a good feeling in my heart.
Yulan asked, "How is Brother Wen?" I and my concubine can't go to the outer study to see him like this! She was really worried about Ye Minwen.
Ye Yichen said: "I called Dr. Bai to give him a follow-up visit, prescribed a dose of medicine, and gave him a drink, saying that he would wake up tonight and tomorrow morning at the latest." ”
Yulan listened, and her frowning eyebrows relaxed, "Thank God, it's best if Brother Wen can be safe and sound!" ”
On weekdays, the two of them always talk and laugh when they get along alone, and no matter what kind of topic Ye Yichen raises, Yulan can always say a few words. She is gentle and lively, and the two get along very well. But today, it was obvious that something was between the two, and the atmosphere was very awkward.
Yulan said without words: "The prince hasn't eaten yet, what do you want to eat, the concubine asked Xiaoyu to go to the kitchen to pass the dishes." ”
Ye Yichen asked; "Have you eaten it?"
Yulan nodded: "The imperial doctor told the concubine to rest in bed, and the concubine is now motionless and does not dare to move, just now Xiaoyu has already fed the concubine." ”
One "concubine" at a time, Ye Yichen only gambled in his heart.
Yulan called Xiaoyu in and asked, "What does the prince want to eat?" ”
Ye Yichen said: "You look at it and give it to me!" ”
Yulan ordered a few things according to his favorite food on weekdays. Xiaoyu went down to pass the dishes, and Ye Yichen couldn't help but say; "You don't want to ask how Xiaoyue is?"
Yulan lowered her eyelids. "If the prince is willing to tell the concubine, he will naturally tell, if he is unwilling, the concubine will not know the so-called ...... Anyway, the concubine didn't believe that Xiaoyue would do anything to betray the concubine, at most it was just a frame-up! ”
Ye Yichen really couldn't help her, shook his head, and couldn't help but reach out and touch her head: "It seems that I really spoil you so much, and I spoil you with such a big temper...... I was just hesitant...... Hey, forget it, this king, I haven't bowed my head to anyone in my life, this time...... It was me who was wrong! ”
Yulan looked at Ye Yichen in surprise. "Lord Wang, why do you ......" Ye Yichen has the pride unique to the royal family, and making him admit his mistake is really sadder than killing him.
Ye Yichen smiled bitterly: "If I don't make this matter clear, you won't be happy, and what if it affects our children?" …… I originally thought, go to bed tonight, and then explain to you slowly in the dead of night, who knows, forget it! ”
It was as if he had made up his mind. Said slowly: "When I was young, my father taught me that I will be a person who wants to do big things in the future, and the first thing I need to do when I do big things is to pretend, no matter what you think in your heart, you can't let people know the way." Make it impossible for others to guess what you're thinking...... Otherwise, some people who are good at welcoming will do everything they can to please you and make you happy, if that's the case, then in my life, there will always be a group of villains around me, and I can't hear any truth! ”
Yulan also understands this truth, some villains in officialdom are the best at flattery, drilling camps and shooting horses, and the things they do are the most disgusting and dirty in the world.
"After my father's violent death, my mother was in a panic, afraid that Taizong would harm me, and the most she said to me at that time was to tell me not to trust others easily, but I was only six years old at that time, where did I understand so much."
"Later, when I arrived at the Northwest Camp, the people gradually grew up. Taizong regarded me as a thorn in his side, he wanted to get rid of me, but he was afraid of being infamous on his back, so he used all kinds of conspiracies and tricks against me. At that time, there was a little guy by my side, who had been with me for seven or eight years, and once he added arsenic to my snack, and if it hadn't been for the sudden attack of the enemy, I wouldn't have had time to eat that snack, and I would have become a pile of dry bones by now! ”
Yulan heard an "ah" sound.
"Then we repelled the enemy, and when I returned to the tent, I found a big yellow dog raised by the herald dead in my tent!"
Yulan Road; "Is it because you ate poisoned snacks?"
Ye Yichen nodded, "I arrested that little guy and tortured him, and after the worst he was tortured, he was recruited, someone gave him five hundred taels of gold, he was greedy for money, so he poisoned my food!" Ye Yichen raised his head, looked at the dust on the roof, and said in a bitter voice: "...... I was thirteen years old! ”
Although Yulan was angry with him, she was still sad for him for a while. Ye Yichen doesn't know how much hardship and hard work he has gone through in order to have today's glorious identity and prominent status.
Ye Yichen said: "I have always wondered, that little guy has been waiting for me for seven or eight years, I have treated him well, I have promoted his family, and even saved his life, because of this, I feel at ease to ask him to wait by my side, but this is it, he still betrayed me." ”
Yulan Road; "That's because someone can give him a better future, can give him more benefits...... People, sometimes that's how it is! Some people are righteous, and some people are despicable and shameless! If someone repays his grievances with virtue, someone will take revenge! ”
Ye Yichen sighed: "I was thinking at that time, is the human heart really so unfathomable, when that little guy followed me, he was absolutely loyal to me at the beginning, I am very sure of this, but later, why can't I stand the temptation of gold and silver, and change it?" …… Since then, I have understood the teachings of my father and mother, and I no longer dare to trust others easily! ”
Yulan's heart trembled slightly, Ye Yichen was really pitiful.
"I can't say how much this incident affected me, but another thing, another person's betrayal, completely changed me."
"I was sixteen years old that year, skilled in archers and horses, and I had been in the border army for so many years, fought a lot of battles, and gradually became famous. I have a good brother who also grew up in the border army. He and I each led a sentinel horse, raced with each other, killed the enemy together, sympathized with each other, he admired me, and I admired him. Although he came from a humble background, he has a good character and treats his subordinates very well. There was a sudden drought one year, 20,000 troops came to attack, I was trapped in the Jiming Post outside the city of Datong, only 3,000 soldiers under his command, Datong general soldiers were ordered by Emperor Taizong, refused to send a soldier to the rescue, he led 6,000 soldiers and horses, hard against the order of the top, from Shazhen, led the enemy away more than half, I took the opportunity to break through, only to finally escape from the ascension. ”
Yulan listened to the breath a little unpleasantly: "Just such a loyal and brave person, also betrayed you?" ”
Ye Yichen's eyes were a little distracted: "I can't believe it now, such a person would do something betrayal for anything!" After the first battle of Jimingyi, I regarded him as a friend of life and death, a confidant in my life. We even learned from Liu Guan and Zhang Taoyuan to form three alliances, pinch the soil for incense, make blood for the alliance, and tie the knot for Jinlan. Who knows, this good brother of mine ......"
Yulan asked, "What happened then?" ”
Ye Yichen sighed, "In the second year, he falsely spread the news, saying that the Hutt tribe of the Tu Wu clan on the bank of the Ulon River was on an expedition to the northeast, and if we can brave the snow and attack their camp on the bank of the Gulon River, we will definitely be able to make a miraculous achievement." I trusted him, so I took 5,000 men and horses to the camp of the Hecht tribe in the snow and starry night. As a result, what was waiting for me was not an empty camp where only the old and weak women and children remained, but the tens of thousands of grassland coalition troops waiting for me. That time was the only defeat in my life, and not one out of ten out of 5,000 men came back alive......"
Yulan really couldn't figure it out: "What is he doing ......?"
Ye Yichen said: "I don't understand either, why did he want to design like this to harm me!" After that battle, I was ordered by Emperor Taizong to be reprimanded with eighty rods and removed from all positions! Start as a creep again! And he was promoted two levels in a row for no reason and became the deputy chief soldier of Xuanhua! ”
"I went to see him in his barracks, but he wouldn't see me! This became a mystery to my mind. Until a year later, the turbulent coalition army invaded, our army lost one after another, in order to cover the retreat of the main force of the army, he led the army to break off, accounted for a soldier, and committed suicide and martyrdom! ”
A traitor, there is actually a heroic ending! Yulan felt incomprehensible.
Ye Yichen said: "After he died, a surviving soldier by his side found me and handed me a letter from him, and I learned the cause and effect of the road. He was born in a small family in the northwest, and his father died early, so he and his mother were the only ones who lived together. ”
"Because their house is a side branch of the family, they have been bullied by the people of the clan since they were young, not only the family property has been taken by the clan, but even after his mother's death, because she has no money to pay for the patriarch, she is not allowed to bury her in the ancestral grave. His greatest wish in life is to get ahead and take revenge on those wolf-hearted people. But he has been fighting in the military camp for so long, because there is no backstage, he has never been able to get ahead, at this time, Emperor Taizong sent an attendant to hint to him, as long as he obediently cooperates with a play and lures me into the full set, the thing is done, once I die, he will be named a general soldier! ”
"There are people in the DPRK who are good officials! With his connections and resources, not to mention the general soldier, it is not bad to be a general in his life! He told me in the letter that he was also very contradictory, on the one hand, he was soaring, and the great revenge was just around the corner; On the one hand, there were brothers and friends who cherished each other, and he also hesitated for several days before finally accepting the servant! It's a pity that in the end, my life was so big that I escaped, and he, the chief soldier, became the deputy chief soldier. ”
Yulan was a little divergent in thinking: "What about his hatred? ”
Ye Yichen was stunned, he didn't expect her to be crooked there. "He did not write about the revenge in the letter, but I sent someone to investigate it later, and I found out. He bought off the local government, and ruined the family of the patriarch and several other houses that had harmed him! ”
It can be regarded as a retribution of injustice.
Ye Yichen put the topic back on track: "After his revenge was avenged, he thought of the conspiracy to frame me, and he was always uneasy, and he felt that this deputy general soldier was not obtained by him by military merits, but by betraying his brothers and friends, and he also felt ashamed in his heart when he sat in this position, so he voluntarily broke off in that battle, and he said that his death could be regarded as seeking benevolence and getting what he wanted!" ”
Yulan commented: "This person is not a downright bad person! ”
Ye Yichen said: "Yes! I understood what he was doing when I saw his letter, but I couldn't forgive him as a person. His voice was very hollow: "The five thousand elite cavalry on the banks of the Hulun River have been trained by me with great painstaking work, because all of his lies have been destroyed!" The grievances of these five thousand heroic souls, who should appeal like them! ”
Yulan also sighed.
"After so many lies and betrayals! Since then, I can't believe in feelings anymore. Because I have found that interests are more practical than feelings and morality, and they are more able to win people's hearts, and I dare not fully believe in anyone, and I am used to leaving a glimmer of room in everything......"
"I always thought you were the only exception, because you were of high character, because your interests were exactly the same as mine. I was also happy to have found someone to trust at my bedtime. But that day, when I saw Wen'er lying dying in front of me, I still habitually doubted it......"
"It's not that I don't want to believe you, but I've been in this complicated Vanity Fair for a long time, and I'm a little ...... I won't trust anyone anymore! ”
