"Wait!" The little emperor suddenly shouted.

Yulan looked up in amazement and looked at Ye Minzhao with some puzzlement. "What else does the emperor command?"

"You ...... "Are you doing well?" A sentence turned around his lips a thousand times, but he just couldn't say it. Today is not what it used to be, time has passed, especially after Ye Minzhao used Ye Minwen to design the relationship between Yulan and the prince, the two are like a Himalaya, and they will never be as close as before.

He hesitated for a moment, and finally waved his hand: "You go!" When is it free, bring Sister Zhu'er over and show me! I've never seen her before! ”

Yulan replied in a low voice. Turned around and walked away with the two maids. Until the group was gone, the little emperor was still staring at the spot.

Xiao Hanzi couldn't help but remind: "Long live Lord, let's go too, under this big sun, it's not fun to have a heat stroke in case of heat stroke." ”

After a long time, the little emperor sighed, and returned to the Hongxiao Hall with two personal little eunuchs with a heavy heart.

Emperor Daxing's Zigong was suspended in the Hongxiao Hall for 7749 days, and after a cumbersome ceremony, he was finally buried in the Changling Tomb on the outskirts of Beijing. The emperor's mausoleum was repaired before the emperor was alive, and the temple of the emperor was called Xianzong, and his entry into the earth for peace also represented the complete end of the Xianzong era.

According to the custom, the little emperor's filial piety is replaced by the day and the month, and he can be removed after the 27th. During this time, Ye Yichen was also very busy, not only had to enter the palace every day to pay homage to the crying spirit, but also had to deal with the government and military affairs that flew like snowflakes from all over the country. Even Yulan felt extremely tired because he went to the palace every three or five times to cry.

Since meeting Ye Minzhao in the palace, Yulan no longer dared to act alone, and the following days came over peacefully.

After the funeral of Emperor Daxing, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and on this day, Ye Yichen finished handling government affairs early and returned to the main courtyard of the back house.

As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, I heard a burst of laughter from afar. Ye Minwen was taking Zhu'er to play with empty bamboo in the yard. Empty bamboo is a very popular game among the people, Ye Minwen begged Yulan, only to get one from the steward of the outer court, although this thing is not worth a few dollars, but in the eyes of the child, it can bring him endless fun.

Ye Minwen is eight years old this year, because he has been practicing martial arts with Ye Yichen all the year round, his body is no longer the same as when he was a child, he shakes the empty bamboo with a rope, makes a pleasant "woo" sound, and from time to time he can also play a few tricks, which provokes the surrounding servants to cheer!

Sister Zhu was obviously very interested in Kongzhu, "Brother, give it to me, I want it!" "She's such a little bit, even if the empty bamboo is given to her, she can't play it. Ye Minwen looked at her sister and just smiled, but she refused to give it to her.

Sister Zhu was so anxious that she almost jumped to her feet. The nurse was holding this little ancestor in the back, and her nervous face was sweating, for fear that she would break free, in case she was touched by the bamboo, it would be a great thing.

Yulan lazily leaned on the rattan chair under a pomegranate tree not far away, it was the end of summer and early autumn, the weather was not so hot, seeing her daughter impatient, her little face was flushed, but she couldn't break away from the nurse's arms, she smiled very happily.

Everyone was having a good time, but no one saw Ye Yichen walk in. Because he usually returns from the front yard to the back house very late. Still with sharp eyes, Zhu'er shouted loudly: "Daddy! ”

Ye Minwen was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly stopped, handed over the empty bamboo to the little servant who followed him, and stepped forward to greet Ye Yichen. Yulan also walked over from the rattan chair.

At this time, Ye Yichen had already held his daughter in his arms. Zhu'er was pouting and complaining to Ye Yichen: "Brother! Don't give it to me! Brother is bad! Hit my brother! ”

Mowgli's fairy tales made Ye Yichen feel very relieved. Yulan couldn't help sweating, this child relied on Ye Yichen to spoil her, and whoever was unpleasant to the eye would have to be beaten by her father, so she couldn't develop the temperament of a little bully? That's not good!

Yulan educated her: "Wen'er is your brother, how can you ask someone to beat your brother as a sister!" You forgot that on weekdays, my brother will bring you anything delicious to eat! How good my brother is to you! ”

Zhu'er was very stubborn: "Brother is bad! Hit if it's bad! "This little grudge.

Ye Yichen smiled and said dotingly: "Okay! Good! My brother is bad, Daddy will help you beat my brother! Ye Minwen was about to come over to greet Ye Yichen, and was startled when he heard this, his father wouldn't really beat him. He knew how much his father doted on this sister, she just wanted the stars in the sky, and his father would definitely find a way to pick them off for her.

"Father!" Ye Minwen stepped forward and saluted, Ye Yichen hugged Zhu'er, and his expression became serious when he faced his already sensible son. "Where did the empty bamboo come from?"

Ye Minwen replied honestly: "I begged my mother, and my mother asked the white butler to go out and buy it for me!" ”

Ye Yichen's face sank when he heard this: "You are also a manly man." It won't take a few years to set up a household, support the palace, and protect your mother and sister! is such a big person, what can't you tell me in person, and go around the bush to find your mother? ”

Ye Minwen's face turned red, and after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly felt a little ashamed, and whispered: "What my father said is true!" The son knows that he is wrong! ”

Yulan quietly pulled Ye Yichen's sleeve behind him: "Lord Wang......"

The child also has self-esteem, if he scolds Ye Minwen in front of so many people, where will the child's face go! It is precisely because Ye Yichen is too serious about his son on weekdays that Ye Minwen is a little afraid of him, so he will take the route of saving the country and come to Yulan.

Ye Yichen glanced back at Yulan, and his tone softened: "Is the empty bamboo fun?" ”

Before Ye Minwen could speak, Zhu'er, who was held in his arms, nodded busily: "It's fun!" It's fun! ”

At this moment, Ye Yichen couldn't hold back any longer, and laughed out loud. Yulan also laughed, and even the corners of Ye Minwen's lips drew a hint of pleasure.

Zhu'er looked at Ye Yichen seriously: "Daddy! No! Scold my brother! It turned out that I saw Ye Yichen teaching Ye Minwen a lesson just now, and Ye Minwen looked very afraid. She's overflowing with compassion again!

Ye Minwen breathed a sigh of relief. Zhu'er pleads, better than anyone else! Ye Yichen and Yulan couldn't cry or laugh, can you get faster?

Ye Yichen glanced at Ye Minwen again and said, "You haven't answered my words yet!" ”

"It's fun!"

"Did you finish the homework that Mr. left for you before playing?"

Ye Minwen nodded frequently like a chicken pecking rice. "It's done, it's done!"

"I'm going to test you later, if you don't answer well, you won't want to play any more from now on!"

"Yes, Father!" He raised his head and secretly glanced at Ye Yichen: "Then what if my son answers correctly?" ”

"I'll allow you to play for half an hour every day." Entertaining and teaching, combining work and rest, this is the idea that Yulan has always instilled in Ye Yichen's ears. Giving your child enough time to play is necessary for the development of a normal personality. After a long time, Ye Yichen slowly accepted Yulan's views.

In particular, this set of theories is still very useful when applied to Ye Minwen. In the past few years, Ye Minwen has neither delayed playing, nor delayed his studies, whether it is civil or military, his son's progress has satisfied Ye Yichen, and Mr. Meng has praised Ye Yichen more than once, saying that Ye Minwen is smart and sensible, and he has made rapid progress.

What's more, over the years, the child has become close to him, and his body is getting better day by day, in the past, he always had to get sick three or five times every winter, and he didn't even have a cold and cough in the past two years, just from this point alone, Ye Yichen was very grateful to Yulan in his heart.

She taught her son well.

Ye Minwen was still there in a slight daze. Yulan had already pushed him, "Don't thank you father yet!" ”

Ye Minwen immediately leaned down and said respectfully: "Thank you, father!" My son won't waste his homework just because of play! His eyebrows were crooked, and his eyes were full of smiles.

When Ye Yichen saw it, the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up slightly. He put his daughter on the ground and said to Ye Minwen's servant: "Take the empty bamboo to this king!" ”

Everyone looked at him with stunned eyes. Ye Yichen smiled and said, "What, can't this king play empty bamboo?" ”

Yulan was surprised: "The prince will also play this?" ”

"Of course!" Ye Yichen suddenly became interested: "You all get out of the way, today this king asked you to see, how the empty bamboo should be played!" He untied the big curtain on his body, shook off the rope, and danced the empty bamboo into a gray phantom, the empty bamboo made a sharp buzzing sound, Ye Yichen and Ye Minwen are different, he is tall, has good control, and can make a lot of juggling-like movements,

For a while, I saw the empty bamboo flying up and down, so fast that people couldn't see the trajectory clearly, the figure of the prince was like a swimming dragon, soaring, that kind of unparalleled demeanor, not only Ye Minwen was stunned with admiration, but even Yulan was dazzled!

The servants and maids applauded even more! The one who screamed the most was Zhu'er, she clapped her hands desperately, and her little hands were red.

When Ye Yichen collected the empty bamboo, he saw Yulan's admiring look on his face, and he couldn't help but feel very comfortable and comfortable like drinking a bowl of ice drinks in the summer.

Ye Yichen returned to the house with Sister Zhu in his arms, and Yulan followed in, laughing in a low voice: "The prince has a rare democracy today!" ”

"Democracy?" Ye Yichen didn't understand this word.

Yulan coughed, and quickly changed the word: "I mean, you are enlightened!" ”

Ye Yichen put Zhu'er down, opened his arms and asked Yulan to unbutton him, and changed into a royal blue regular clothes. "Empty bamboo, don't talk about Brother Wen, even this king liked it very much when he was a child."

Yulan pursed her lips and smiled: "No wonder you play so well!" ”

Ye Yichen was also a little proud when he heard this, he thought of something, and his face darkened a little: "I remember when I was six years old for my birthday, my father gave me an empty bamboo back then!" At that time, he taught me how to play with this thing......"

His tone was very abrupt, Yulan couldn't help but feel distressed in his heart, reached out and hugged him, and comforted: "Lord Wang......" couldn't help but kiss him on the face again.

The two couldn't help themselves, they both forgot that there was a small light bulb in the house, Sister Zhu saw Yulan going to hug Ye Yichen and immediately became jealous, pointed to her cheek, and shouted: "Mother, kiss!" ”

When Yulan heard this, it was as if he had stolen something and was caught on the spot, his whole face was red, even the roots of his ears were red, and he let go of Ye Yichen like an electric shock, and avoided the warm pavilion in a panic.

It's a shame to have this face today! was caught by his daughter. It was really handsome when the prince was playing empty just now, and coupled with his tragic offensive, Yulan even forgot about what happened to his daughter on the side. It's so shameful!

I don't care about the clothes that have been changed for half of the prince.

Zhu'er was a little strange, she looked at Ye Yichen in confusion. Ye Yichen also went to see her. The father and daughter stared at each other, and Zhu'er asked strangely: "Mother?" ”

Why is my mother so strange!

Ye Yichen laughed out loud. The more I think about it, the more funny I feel, and the more I laugh, the louder it becomes.

Pearls were even more confused. Why is everything so wrong with my father and mother today!

It wasn't until Mother Qian took the maid to set up the meal in the West Room that Yulan walked out of the warm pavilion with a twist. His face was still slightly red, and even Ye Minwen noticed it. glanced at Yulan a little strangely, after all, he was much older than Zhu'er and much more sensible, so he immediately retracted his gaze.

The family sat at the table and ate. A table full of dishes is all ordered by Yulan. She didn't have anything else to do now, so she stared at the kitchen all day long, changing tricks to make up for one big and two small ones.

The ancient etiquette paid attention to food and silence, Ye Yichen, Yulan and Brother Wen all ate quietly, only Sister Zhu was babbling, sitting on the table like a little adult, commanding the big girl standing behind her, clamping this and that for a while, busier than anyone else!

Yulan weaned her when she was one year old, and now the child can eat anything. The grapes were to be fed to her, but she refused, so she had to eat them with a spoon herself, half of them and half of them, and she didn't know if she was eating them or playing with them. Yulan and the prince didn't care about her.

The prince occasionally glanced over, and there was doting in his eyes. Grape's expression was also very indifferent, obviously such things often happened in the palace.

After the family finished eating, Ye Minwen saluted his father and mother and returned to the east wing. Zhu'er was also sleepy after playing with her father and mother for a while, and the nurse carried her to the warm pavilion to rest. Ye Yichen looked at the crystal self-striking clock placed in the room, it was already correct, and said to Yulan with a smile: "Let's settle it too!" ”

Yulan knew what he was thinking as soon as he looked at his expression. Be careful, the liver can't help but flutter and jump. Ye Yichen suddenly hugged her, and chuckled close to her ear, "How long have we not ......" There was a hint of ambiguity in his tone.

Yulan actually thinks about it in her heart, of course, even if she wants it in her heart, she has to oppose it. She was about to refuse and greet her reservedly, but Ye Yichen suddenly hugged her all over.

Yulan suddenly exclaimed: "Lord Wang......"

Ye Yichen laughed in a low voice and carried her to the bed, Yulan was frightened for a while, hugged his neck tightly, and waited until Ye Yichen put her on the bed and reached out to untie her clothes, Yulan reacted. "Lightly, there are still people in the warm pavilion!"

The location of the Warm Pavilion is equivalent to a small suite in a large room, because Yulan raised the child in the Warm Pavilion, and doing this kind of thing is always sneaky, and it feels like a thief. Ye Yichen had already lowered his head and kissed it at this time, and Yulan didn't know if he heard it.

Yulan was stunned by his kiss for a while, and it took a long time to find that one of the prince's hands had reached into her clothes......

When the two of them were about to stop, the voice of the night girl suddenly came from outside: "Lord Wang! Rajah! ”

shouted several times in a row, Yulan heard it first, and pushed Ye Yichen hard for a while, and Ye Yichen reacted. Fortunately, he was still wearing his clothes, tidying up, and then asked in a deep voice, "What happened?" There was a hint of anger in his tone.

Damn, Lao Tzu has been a vegetarian for more than a month, and finally had the opportunity to eat meat, but he was interrupted at the beginning. Whoever is replaced has to be angry.

The maid said tremblingly: "Lord Qin is here, saying that he has an important military situation to report to you." "What the hell are the two masters doing in there, of course they know what they are doing, and they are deaf and clear-sighted.

Ye Fengqi came over at this time? There must be something extremely important to discuss with Ye Yichen. Yulan said to Ye Yichen; "Lord Wang, go and take a look!"

After all, it's important to get down to business. Ye Yichen glanced at his jade-like wife on the bed with some regret, and said in a low voice: "You wait for me here, I'll come when I go!" ”

He pulled a cloak and put it on his body, turned around and walked out of the main courtyard. Until he walked away, Yulan touched his face, and his face was still feverish. Ye Yichen didn't know when she would come back, Yulan couldn't sleep by herself, she sat up straight, sorted out her clothes first, and then called the maid to come in and take charge of the lamp again, took a notebook and looked through it under the lamp, and waited for an hour.

Ye Yichen came back with a solemn face. Yulan greeted him and asked, "Lord Wang, what happened?" Ye Yichen unbuttoned his cloak and handed it to her, and said to her: "The seventeenth brother sent news that Ye Minyu's rebels have occupied Xi'an Mansion!" ”

"Huh?" Yulan didn't react for a while! During this time, she was quite concerned about the political situation, so she knew some insider information: "Aren't his people still in Hebei?" ”

"Those are deceptive appearances." Ye Yichen patiently explained to her: "He had already rushed to Hangu Pass with the main force. ”

That day, Xiao Zongsheng came to Hangu Pass alone to see Li Chengde. Li Chengde refused to let him in for fear of his deception, and later agreed to put down a basket from the city, and Xiao Zongsheng sat in the basket and was hung up at the head of the city. Li Chengde personally met with Xiao Zongsheng, and he didn't know what Xiao Zongsheng said to him, and after persuading him for two hours, Li Chengde finally agreed to abandon the pass and surrender, Ye Minyu didn't spend a single soldier, and Hanguguan was at his fingertips.

The army entered Hangu Pass, Ye Minyu was not carried away by the victory, and discussed with Xiao Zongsheng, Li Ling, Li Chengde and others that night. The guards of Chang'an originally thought that there were guards of Hangu Pass, and the war could not burn in the city for a while, but they did not expect to wake up and the city was already full of cavalry.

Chang'an was not prepared for a protracted war at all, and Ye Minyu transferred all the cavalry stationed at Hangu Pass in order to conquer this fortified city, which can be described as a desperate gamble, leaving only 1,000 infantry to defend Hangu Pass.

But in three days, Chang'an fell. It also marks that Ye Minyu has gained a firm foothold in the Guanzhong area.

Ye Yichen said: "Look at this kid's actions, it's really a two-hit!" There was a lot of appreciation in the tone.

Yulan frowned and said, "Does he want to learn from Qin Shi Huang?" Control and control the middle of the world? ”

Ye Yichen glanced at her approvingly, and he was naturally impressed that Yulan could have this insight. To know Ye Minyu's strategic intentions, Ye Yichen also spent some effort to guess. Yulan's impression of Ye Minyu was also excellent, she shook her head and said: "Even if he controls the entire Guanzhong region, even if he is alive, even if he is alive, I am afraid that it will be difficult to see the old thing of Qin Shi Huang's sweep!" ”

Ye Yichen asked with interest, "Why is this?" Yulan is often able to express something that has never been published before, and she can say some very novel and peculiar opinions, and Ye Yichen naturally wants to hear her opinions.

Yulan said: "The world has changed over time, and the current situation is no longer the same as that of the Qin and Han dynasties. During the Qin and Han dynasties, the Guanzhong region had developed agriculture and a large population, and the economy and population of the Yellow River Basin accounted for a very high proportion of the country's economic population at that time. The rich economy can afford to raise enough troops to defeat the countries outside the Guan, but now, the economic center of the whole country has long since moved south to the Yangtze River valley, and taxes and grain are continuously transported to Beijing through the Grand Canal, so as to ensure the daily operation of hundreds of thousands of Weishu troops in Beijing. However, the northwest has suffered disasters for many years, and the people's livelihood has withered, how can he organize a strong army to confront the imperial court? ”

Ye Yichen looked at Yulan in surprise. It was the first time he had heard someone comment on the military through this lens. Ye Yichen also felt that Ye Minyu could not succeed, but his confidence lay in himself. Ye Minyu is no matter how high his military literacy is, he can't go higher. What's more, just in case, he had already asked Ye Fengqi to arrange a killer move by his side!

Yulan said with some concern: "Now that there is a war in the northwest, there is also a war in the south, and the imperial court has just changed the emperor, and the political situation is not stable, what are you going to do?" ”

Ye Yichen said: "The current situation, the two-front battle of the imperial court, coupled with the emptiness of the treasury, is indeed very unfavorable to us. So I decided to convene a court meeting and ask the emperor to give Ye Minyu a king of Guanzhong, and the two sides will temporarily turn hostility into jade silk, and then solve Ye Minyu's problem after cleaning up Liu Zhang's kid. ”

"If the prince does this, isn't he afraid of raising tigers?" Ye Minyu is so capable, it's not like a fuel-efficient lamp!

Ye Yichen smiled and said, "Even if Ye Minyu is really a tiger, it is our new emperor who should be afraid, not me Ye Yichen." ”
