Chapter 101: Reborn from the Fire
"Brother, it's cold on the ground, get up quickly." Seeing Yu Jinli kneeling on the ground without saying a word, the woman in green immediately threw away the horsewhip and went to help him up.
"My brother is incompetent and deserves to be punished. Tang Hua was obedient and went out first. Yu Jinli gently brushed away Yu Tanghua's jade hand that was holding him.
"Mother, brother from childhood to adulthood, in order to make you satisfied, Wen Taowu is among the best among the brothers, the preferences of the father and the queen mother, he knows it clearly, and never breaks the precepts. Now, the battle for the reserve has failed, and my brother feels good in his heart. Yu Tanghua didn't care about the mess, and knelt directly on the ground to intercede for Yu Jinli.
"Tang Hua, there are fragments on the ground, carefully hurt yourself." The queen lifted the heavy skirt, even if she was worried that Yu Tanghua was injured, her steps were graceful and elegant.
"The queen mother, it's just the position of the prince, in all dynasties, there are many people who have abolished the prince, and now it is not conclusive, why punish my brother. The queen mother didn't let her brother get up, so Tang Hua accompanied her brother to kneel here. ”
"Now that I've grown up, my wings are stiff, and I don't even listen to the queen mother?" When the queen heard this, her anger grew.
"The Queen Mother." Yu Tanghua's tone softened a little, grabbing the queen's phoenix robe and coquettish.
"When that slut was alive, His Majesty never looked at the palace much, thinking that if he sent her to the Yellow Spring, there would be no more threat. Who knows, for the sake of that slut, His Majesty let the palace sit firmly on the phoenix throne, but he had no real power, and he also made people monitor the palace and let those lowly concubines wantonly humiliate the palace. ”
"Finally got to the juncture of the reserve, who knew that the little evil seed that should have been in the ground suddenly appeared, and a beautiful dream was so shattered. Your unsuccessful brother Wang did not have the opportunity to become the crown prince this time, how can he have a chance to be the emperor in the future. Although the queen's face was mocking, it did not affect her appearance, and she was as beautiful as ever.
"At the beginning, it was the queen mother who went astray, and the father was like this, but the small punishment was a big commandment, if the queen mother knew her mistakes and could change them, how could it be like this now."
"Tang Hua, shut up!"
Yu Jinli's words broke out, but they were not as fast as the queen's slap.
Yutang's gorgeous and unrestrained face was printed with red slap prints, and it instantly swelled a little.
"Mother, you actually beat me." Yu Tanghua couldn't believe it, the queen had always been very fond of her, and she didn't even say a word of seriousness.
"Which slut poured you ecstasy soup, so that you even dare to slander the queen mother." The queen's eyes flashed with cold hatred.
"Do you still need to say these words, the entire palace, who doesn't know the dirty things that the queen mother did back then." Yu Tanghua stubbornly held tears in his eyes.
"Tang Hua!" Yu Jinli scolded angrily.
"Brother is really a wretch, since you were a child, how many times have you been reprimanded by your mother, and you still can't tell right from wrong. Do you know why the father, who barely stepped into the Qifeng Palace for half a step, reprimanded the queen mother in the Qifeng Palace yesterday and grounded her here. It's your obedient mother who repeats the old trick and poisons the eldest brother, fortunately the eunuch found out in time, otherwise, the queen mother and uncle would have been imprisoned, and the Ren family would have just waited to be beheaded. Yutang Hua burst out of Qifeng Palace with tears in his eyes.
"Queen Mother, Tang Hua is young and ignorant, and he doesn't choose to say anything in a hurry, don't be angry."
"Li'er, the queen mother's anger is also for the good of your brother and sister, you see, this is sent by that little evil seed." The Empress picked up Yu Jinli and handed him a crumpled piece of stationery.
"Replace medicine with poison, and rebuild with grace. The cotton enters the marrow and is born from the fire. Yu Jinli's hand trembled imperceptibly.
"That little evil seed not only knew that the incident was related to the queen mother, but also found out the poison of the cotton. This is his war letter, the revenge of killing his mother, he will not let go of his mother easily. Li'er, the rise and fall of the Ren family, honor and disgrace are tied to you alone, don't blame the queen mother for treating you harshly. ”
"The queen mother has good intentions, and the sons understand." Yu Jinli's fists clenched tighter and tighter.
Yanhe Temple
When Taifu Zhou was invited to the Yanhe Palace, the concubine was interceding for Yu Muchen.
Gonggong Han led him to the side hall, just to have an unobstructed view of the situation in the palace.
But he didn't seem to be interested in this, and according to what Han Gonggong said, he slowly sat down at the chess table.
"Taifu, this is a chess game recently laid out by His Majesty, claiming that Taifu will never be able to break it."
"Your Majesty has really been defeated and defeated repeatedly." Taifu didn't think so at first, but after seeing the chess game, his eyes flashed, and he instantly raised his interest.
After about a quarter of an hour, the ancient emperor sent the concubine away and hurriedly entered the side hall to find the concubine.
"Old man Taifu, it's been a long time."
"The emperor's housework has been taken care of?" Taifu had no intention of getting up and saluting, and the ancient emperor had no intention of reproaching.
"Don't mention the bad things, play chess first. On weekdays, I played against the old man Taifu, and I was always killed without a piece of armor. It took me three days to lay out such a subtle and peerless chess game. I want to see if Old Man Taifu can break the situation as always; If not, you will dare to boast of your superb chess skills in the future. ”
Emperor Gu Yu sat opposite Taifu, who was dedicated to studying the chess game, looking at his frowning brows, Emperor Gu Yu couldn't help laughing, but he didn't lose his demeanor.
"Your Majesty, only seven points in this chess game are your chess style, and the other three points don't know which master the emperor is looking for guidance." Taifu never paid attention to talking to the ancient emperor, and directly exposed his shortcomings.
Although the ancient emperor has good chess skills, he is not a top master, but this person is also fond of chess.
Although Taifu has outstanding chess skills, he usually doesn't like to play chess, but the ancient emperor always likes to talk to him when he has nothing to do.
So, in a bad mood and cautious eyes, he never showed mercy to the ancient emperor. Anyway, the ancient emperor had a wide heart, and he was not ashamed to lose to his courtiers, but was proud.
And the ancient emperor was repeatedly defeated by the Taifu, and every time he played chess, he would find the Taifu for recreation.
In order to maintain an undefeated victory, the subset of scriptures and histories in the study has become a chess game. It has made him think too much in the past few years, and his hair has turned a lot gray.
"Oh? Why did the old man Taifu say this? "When the ancient emperor heard this, he was interested.
"Your Majesty is an old man, and the reason why the minister is white-headed is not because the emperor is making things difficult everywhere." Thinking of this, he was angry, obviously he was younger than the ancient emperor, but he was made silver-haired.
Looking at the black hair of the ancient emperor, he was envious and jealous, of course, he didn't dare to hate.
However, he didn't complain for long, he saw that the ancient emperor was still waiting for him, so he continued: "Whether the emperor is playing chess or layout, he has always been cautious and steady. But this chess game is the door of death, the sword goes sideways, even if it breaks the game, it is a dangerous victory, and it is just a reluctant victory. ”
"Hmm." The Ancient Emperor nodded in agreement.
"In this way, it is better not to break the situation, if you let others know that the first national hand of the ancient emperor made himself a remnant of the army, and he barely won, where will the emperor's face be put on the ministers?"
The more Taifu spoke, the more he blew his beard and stared, he really didn't know where the rescuers from the ancient emperor had moved from, relying on understanding his chess style, and bullying him like this.
"This master is the ancient prince of Yikun." The Gu Imperial Emperor's eyes flashed with pride and pride.
"No wonder the emperor loves His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so much, and for him, he plays the ministers around." Taifu was amused when he thought of the ministers arguing with red faces and thick necks.
"It's not that I haven't hidden Taifu's sharp eyes."
"The minister has made a comeback again, just now the emperor said that he wanted to establish a prince, and the minister hurriedly spoke for His Royal Highness King Li. In the end, when the emperor said that he wanted to make the eldest prince the prince, he really scared the old minister, and the old minister stood on the opposite side of the emperor without noticing it for a while, and he was afraid that the emperor would blame him. Taifu put the last chess piece into the chessboard and made a gesture to the ancient emperor.
"You don't know when you didn't pretend to come in and out and stand aside to watch the play." The ancient emperor was too lazy to look at him pretending, and directly poked him.
"The emperor is not as happy as his ministers when he sees that the left and right are fighting each other today, and he is not as happy as his ministers." He really doesn't show mercy to the ancient emperor, but the ancient emperor eats this set.
Smiling and smiling, Emperor Gu Yu's face was stained with a faint sorrow, "Old man Taifu, looking at the famous and noble girls in Beijing, who do you think is worthy of Yi'er?" ”
"Your Majesty, is this planning to choose a concubine for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Yi'er is not in the age of the weak crown, and the matter of choosing a concubine is not in a hurry, but it is rumored in Beijing that Yi'er is not close to women. If I don't set a marriage for him as soon as possible, I really don't feel at ease. When the ancient emperor talked about Yu Yanyi, his brows were tightly locked, and he was a little absent-minded when playing chess.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is devoted to political affairs, which is also a good event for the country. Moreover, the crown prince is the future monarch, and the crown princess is the future mother of the country, so the choice of concubines should also be cautious. ”
The ancient emperor can treat him like this, it is out of trust, he will not climb up the pole, what to say and what not to say he still knows.
What's more, the ancient emperor asked him this question, and he didn't mean to give him advice.
"Your Yan boy is at the age of marriage, why don't you never worry?" The Ancient Emperor sighed.
"That bastard boy himself is not in a hurry, what is the minister anxious about?"
"Old man Taifu said so much, and he didn't ask me what I plan to do with King Chen."
"How can it be handled, the mother family of several highnesses has a deep foundation, especially King Chen. My grandfather guarded the frontier and had a heavy army, and once he dealt with King Chen, he would cause chaos on the frontier and even rebel. The reason why he ignored the concubine's plea was just to let the mother and son of King Chen stop for a few days. Therefore, King Chen's rebellion can only be picked up high and gently put down. ”
The saint is weak, so that his relatives interfere in politics and are unable to do anything, but the prince is not a good stubble, and sooner or later the military power will be withdrawn.
"You know exactly what I'm struggling with."
"It is said that the Sacred Heart is unpredictable, but Your Majesty is not an ordinary monarch, and the ministers are not courtiers of previous dynasties."
When the ancient emperor heard this, he couldn't stop laughing.
"In the early court today, I heard Tao Yan say that Rong Qingshu has returned to Beijing, what does the old man Taifu think?"
"The old minister heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Miss Rong Er had a few encounters in Pucheng."
"Yi'er welcomes Rong Qingshu, I'm afraid that the drunkard doesn't mean to drink." The ancient emperor closed the chess box, obviously unintentionally playing again.
Prince's Mansion
"Cousin, it's time to drink the medicine." Xia Ji brought a bowl of traditional Chinese medicine, and the medicinal fragrance was rich and came to his nose.
Last time, Yu Yanyi broke through the last seal to help Rong Qingxi, exhausting his heart and almost failing his heart. He is already in poor physical condition, and he is not as good as before at the moment.
"Hmm." Yu Yanyi took the medicine bowl and drank it all.
"Cousin, now that you live in this prince's mansion, why are you still unhappy?"
"This place was my mother's bedroom, and it was also the place where I came to earth. Twenty years ago, it was burned down, and after the changes of the world, now, it is really not a thing, and it is not a person. The corners of Yu Yanyi's eyes were a little red.
Xia Ji was not good at comforting people, so he just stood aside silently and accompanied Yu Yanyi.
"Your Highness, I just received the news......" After Xuan Qiong whispered to Yu Yan Yi, Yu Yan Yi's sad look disappeared a little.
