CHAPTER XXXIV

Wen Du's words made Ye Xun fall into deep thought, he remembered that he had never been told to outsiders, and he couldn't look back on the past, maybe he would rot this matter in his stomach for the rest of his life......

Ye Xun was eighteen years old that year, and he had been a close attendant with the emperor for three years. Ye Xun of that meeting was young and frivolous, indulgent, and because he won the trust of the emperor, he dared to speak out and had no fear. Although he is unrestrained on the surface, he has regarded the emperor as his respected brother in his heart. But then an incident happened that made Ye Xun's wild heart fall into the ice cave all of a sudden.

That year, there was not a single snowflake in the whole winter, but it suddenly snowed in the sky that day, and the emperor was in a good mood, and after approving some pieces, he asked Xingwang to warm some wine and drink two glasses with Ye Xun. Ye Xun didn't have much experience in drinking at that time, but the emperor kept persuading him to drink, and as a result, Ye Xun was so drunk that he was unconscious. When he was in a daze, he felt something strange in his body. He opened his eyes and saw a man lying on top of him, his lips sucking in his mouth, one hand reaching into his clothes and groping around with him, the other trying to undress him...... Ye Xun felt his blood surging up, and he used all his strength to kick the man to the ground. The man sat down on the ground, and Ye Xun saw clearly that the man was actually the emperor!

Ye Xun rolled off the bed in shock and fright, and knelt on the ground, "Emperor...... Above! ”

The emperor clutched his stomach, his expression was very painful, he glared at Ye Xun hatefully, and finally shouted outside angrily, "Someone! ”

Xingwang and the two guards came in at the order, and the emperor pointed at Ye Xun and roared, "Go and get a basin of water, pour it from the head, and let him sober up!" ”

Ye Xun was poured down from head to toe by a basin of water, and the water flowed down his hair into his eyes and mouth, and he didn't dare to move......

The emperor was still angry, and shouted to the guards again, "Drag him to the courtyard and kneel, let him completely sober up!" ”

It was very cold outside, Ye Xun was wearing fewer clothes, plus he was splashed with water, and he didn't kneel outside for a while, and his hair and clothes were frozen. He was becoming more and more sober and angry...... Ye Xun later thought that if it wasn't for Prosperity, he would definitely have frozen to death that day. The emperor's anger in the house has not subsided, and Ye Xun feels that he has suffered a great shame, how can he bow his head and admit his mistake? The two of them were at a stalemate. Prosperity runs on both sides, and persuades at both ends. Xingwang probably really didn't want Ye Xun to die, so he squatted beside the young and vigorous Ye Xun and persuaded him with good words.

Ye Xun craned his neck and said, "Xingwang, you don't have to persuade me anymore!" I'm dying here today, and I'm not going to apologize to him! You don't know him...... What did he do to me just now! ”

Xingwang hurriedly stopped him in fear, "Don't dare to say this again!" Didn't the emperor also drink too much? Ye Xun, remember that you can't mention this to anyone again! He is the Son of Heaven, and our lives are his, not to mention ......"

"I can give him my life, that won't work!"

"You're still too young! The emperor is at most immoral after drinking, it may be that he has drunk too much and is dazzled, and it is not necessary to see you as a concubine! And you? Who are you kicking? That's the long live lord of the Ninety-Five! I don't need to say the strength of your kick, you hurt the dragon body again? Do you know that the slightest offense to Banzai is a great crime? How much more is your strong foot. Listen to me, go kowtow to the emperor, apologize, and the matter will be over. Otherwise, your family raised you so big, even if you raised it for nothing. Maybe you'll have to trouble your father. When you enter the house, you will say this to the emperor......"

Ye Xun was repeatedly persuaded by Xingwang, and finally agreed to enter the house to kowtow to the emperor and apologize. When the emperor saw that Ye Xun was covered in ice, his face was white and his lips were purple, and his anger disappeared by half.

Ye Xun kowtowed to the ground according to the words taught by Xingwang, "Your Majesty, you should die for your humble position!" The lowly duty was not enough to drink, and when he drank too much wine, he became drunk and crazy, kicking and beating casually in a daze, and even hurt the emperor. It is hard to escape the blame for the death of a lowly position. Please punish the emperor! ”

Hearing Ye Xun say this, the stone in the emperor's heart fell, and he smiled, "I saw that you slept soundly, and I wanted to help you take off your clothes, and then cover your bed and quilt to make you sleep more comfortably." Who knew that you flew up with a kick, and almost killed me, and I didn't get angry for a long time......"

"Your Majesty, you should be damned for your humble position."

"Xingwang, you take him down to change his clothes, and see what he looks like? Don't get sick. ”

"Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, you ...... Does it matter? Do you need to let the doctor come and show you? Xingwang asked cautiously.

The emperor rubbed his stomach and said, "Forget it, you don't need to ask for a doctor, there should be nothing wrong." ”

After the incident passed, Ye Xun and the emperor were still the same as before on the surface, everything was the same as before. But Ye Xun felt like a thorn in his heart. Before Ye Xun repeatedly asked to go to the battlefield, the emperor was reluctant to let him go, but promised him to go to the army for training in the spring of the next year......

This matter has been going on for a long time, and Ye Xun seems to have really forgotten it, but Wen Du's mention of it today reminded Ye Xun of that memory again. Wen Du saw that Ye Xun was fascinated, so he asked, "What do you want?" Is the face so ugly? ”

Ye Xun glanced at him, and with the strength of the wine, he complained, "What did you mean by telling me this just now?" Let me be grateful to him? I didn't feel that he was good to me, but I felt that I had been forced to breathe by him all these years. To put it mildly, if he weren't a king, I would even hate him. He's like a domineering and domineering elder who wants me to do what he does. I am inspired to be with a white head, and now I have a wife and a concubine; I didn't want to do the assassination business, but I ended up being a killer for a year; I wanted to make a career, to be a famous general through the ages, or a clean official like my eldest brother who was dedicated to the people, and now I can't achieve anything...... That's what he wants. If it weren't for him, my eldest brother's career might not have been so bumpy, and maybe he wouldn't have died! His kindness to others is selfish and narrow-minded. I can only be a monarch with him, I will obey what he asks me to do, I will give him his life if he wants me, and there will be no other relationship. ”

Wen Du couldn't listen anymore, "So you left the capital just to avoid him?" ”

Ye Xun shook his head and said, "The world is not the king's land, where I hide is not still someone else's territory." I just want to get out of the way. The family lives in peace and stability. I'm not dangling around him, he's out of sight and out of mind, and he doesn't have to block his heart, how nice! Alas? You're not going back to tell the emperor, are you? ”

Wen Du scoffed, "What? Is this cowardly? It was impassioned just now. I heard that when you reconciled with the emperor, you also said that you have always regarded the emperor as a brother and friend in your heart all these years? ”

Ye Xun lowered his head and smiled embarrassedly, "Can I not be cowardly?" Do you think you've been comfortable enough for a long time, or do you think you're not miserable enough? Yes, I said something insincere, but wasn't that forced by life? ”

"You should have been like this a long time ago, you used to always go against him, and you got yourself into that situation step by step?"

Ye Xun was so angry that he twisted his head to the side, "Against him? Do I dare? ”

Wen Du frowned and said, "You don't dare to say that you don't dare, have you done less?" However, now you don't have to worry, although I won't tell the emperor, even if I tell the emperor, your apprentice has the ability to turn things around and make the emperor change his original intention. Don't say that your life is really good, your apprentice is really worried about you! You're not even thirty yet, are you? He can even say that the emperor will give you a fief and a knight? Do you know why you were able to get away with it so quickly? It is also the result of Feiyang's mobilization of various forces to work together. He is only so young, and his city government and mental skills are so far-reaching, he is really terrifying and has an unlimited future! ”

Ye Xun's face became more and more cold, "I heard that several beggars who have been tortured beyond recognition have appeared in various places in the capital recently, why didn't you Jinyi Wei go to find out?" ”

Wen Du turned his head to look at him, "You know too?" Are you suspicious of anything? ”

"Tell me what you know." Ye Xun said.

Wen Du said slowly, "It is reasonable to say that if there is such a bad incident in the capital, someone will come forward to investigate, but the strange thing is that the major yamen have not moved at all. What kind of force can make these confidential departments in the capital keep their mouths shut? There must be a big guy behind it......"

"Who do you think it will be?" Ye Xun asked.

Wen Du shook his head, "How can you talk nonsense about such a thing without evidence." But I think there is no one in the capital who has such power except the emperor, but it is absolutely impossible for the emperor, only it may be that he relies on people he trusts very much. Only then will others have scruples. As far as I know, the prefects of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, the Imperial History of the City Patrol, and the Yin of the Capital Mansion all have a great relationship with Feiyang, not to mention Dongchang, and Feiyang has a particularly close relationship with the eunuchs in the palace. There is also the 'Imperial Forest Army' he is responsible for, which originally belonged to the jurisdiction of our Jinyi Guard, but do you believe it? Even the new cousin of Jinyiwei has to look at his eyes and act and slap him! So......" Wen Du didn't continue, but stopped the conversation in time, picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine.

Although Ye Xun also felt that there was no problem with Wendu's speculation, he still didn't want to believe it, "You said that, it has been confirmed that Feiyang did it?" ”

Wen Du looked at his expression, insight into what he was thinking, and then shook his head and said, "No." The guy who hit you in the street was later flown away from you. Said it was released. Since then, that person has never been seen again. But it is not ruled out that he may escape from the capital after being released. ”

Ye Xun sent Wen Du out, Wen Du stretched out his arms at Ye Xun, "Hug it, I'm going to go out to work again tomorrow, I don't know when we will meet next time." I won't send you when you're gone. Now that you're settled, remember to send me a letter. I'll go to you when I get a chance. ”

Ye Xun let Wen Du hold him like a walking corpse, and muttered, "It's not certain that I can't go?" ”

"What's wrong?" Wen Du pushed him away and exclaimed, "It's not because I told you something, right?" Do you really want Feiyang to kill me? ”

"He dares!" Ye Xun glared.
