"If you really believe in brotherhood, why didn't you persuade your mother to give up when she was about to take the throne for you? In your heart, brotherhood is deep, and it can't compare to the throne, right? In addition, your mother is seriously ill, and you silently take the medicine by yourself, but you don't send someone to report this matter to the palace, you do this, but you are guarding the palace, afraid that the palace will fall into the well for your mother? Or, do you already believe that the imperial doctor's refusal to treat your mother and concubine is because the palace ordered them to do it deliberately? ”

His face was calm, he knelt down, and said slowly: "Brother Chen, I don't mean that. ”

"Not really?" Sihan looked at him coldly, "This palace looks at you, but you are smart and wise, and you know how to calculate." The young emperor is still young and doesn't know the world, he will plead with this palace for you and Concubine Shu today, he is so immature, if you don't bewitch him, how can he understand this? ”

He was stunned for a moment, and then frowned, "The emperor asked the emperor for the emperor's sister, but the courtiers didn't know about it, and they never bewitched the emperor. Moreover, although the emperor is young, he is extremely intelligent, and the emperor will also have his own opinions and considerations on some things. ”

As he spoke, he said with a sigh: "Look at Sister Mingjian." ”

Sihan looked at him deeply, didn't say anything more, and looked at him layer by layer, but he was neither humble nor arrogant, the whole person knelt upright, and his face was still calm, but there was a little helplessness in his pupils.

For a while, the surrounding atmosphere also fell silent, silent, revealing a bit of inexplicable depression.

After waiting for a long time, Sihan took his eyes off him and said in a low voice: "Today, this palace is not to question you, but to tell you that you and your mother do not need to go to the imperial tomb to guard the mausoleum." I just want that this palace will open up to you in front of the new emperor, and I hope that you can do it yourself, remember the feelings of the new emperor, and don't bewitch or disadvantage him again. If not, once this palace finds out that you are a little unkind to the new emperor, at that time, don't blame this palace for being ruthless. ”

He lowered his head and said in silence: "Brother Chen, Sister Emperor Xie, Emperor Xie." As he spoke, he hesitated for a moment and added, "But the courtiers have no ill will towards the emperor." ”

Sihan swept his eyes, and didn't want to say much to him, so he just said lightly: "It's good if there is no malice, this palace doesn't like to kill innocents indiscriminately." ”

As he spoke, his voice raised, "Get up." ”

He nodded respectfully, and then slowly stood up.

Sihan's eyes swept towards the book in his hand, "I saw you reading seriously today, I don't know what book the third emperor brother is reading?" ”

He glanced at Sihan, his fingertips moved slightly, turned out the cover of the book, and said slowly: "Brother Chen has nothing to do, just looking at some art of war." ”

Sihan swept the cover of the book, and indeed saw the word 'Art of War', the corner of her eyes lifted slightly, and said in a low voice: "This palace didn't expect that the third emperor brother also likes to see the art of war." I still remember that when I was a child, the three emperor brothers liked books like piano and chess the most, and at that time, the palace was also young and stubborn, and I also tore up a lot of chess games for you. ”

He said slowly without humility or arrogance: "It's all old things, but the imperial sister still remembers it clearly." It's just that people will change, and their interests will also change, although the piano and chess are good, they can only enjoy themselves, but if they are familiar with the art of war, they can share their worries for the country. ”

Worried about the country?

Sihan stared at him deeply, "The third emperor's younger brother is still young, so he can think about sharing worries for the country, and this palace is gratified." ”

As he spoke, his expression moved slightly, and his words changed slightly, "This palace also wondered, a few days ago, the regent insisted on persuading this palace to make you and the eldest prince the king side by side, and assist the new emperor in handling the government, and now the third emperor is looking at the art of war, don't you want to develop civil and military together?" Moreover, in the past few years when the palace has lived in seclusion with the national teacher, the regent has suddenly risen, and when did the third emperor brother and the regent get along? So much so that the regent actually wants to crown you as king wholeheartedly, and even participate in court politics? ”

His face was still calm, and his words were respectful but inexplicably ungentle, "The imperial sister doubts the relationship between the courtier and the regent?" ”

Sihan raised the corners of his eyes and did not speak.

The regent has always been invincible, and he doesn't look like a master who is good at helping people, so he persuaded her to promote this Zheqian in front of her several times, which is weird, and there are countless capable people in Tanglin who have not been promoted, if it is not for this Zheqian to have a relationship with the regent, how can the regent pick him alone?

At this point, Sihan's expression became deeper and deeper.

But at this moment, Zheqian's thin lips opened, and he continued to speak respectfully and solemnly, "The courtier and the regent have no intersection. It's just that when the regent returned from the border pass that year, the younger brother's mother concubine said a few words for the regent in front of his father, perhaps because of this, the regent wanted to promote the younger brother in front of the imperial sister. ”

Is it?

Sihan didn't expect that Concubine Shu's hand was stretched out.

A few days ago, I heard Mrs. Song say that after Lan Yeyu returned to Beijing, he was relieved to donate a large amount of silver to the treasury, and he was so pleased that he was crowned king, but he didn't expect that among them, there was still a concubine who was involved.

It's just that Concubine Shu is so capable, and Lan Yeyu is also favored by her, but why did Lan Yeyu not come to the court when the country broke down and established a new emperor, so that Concubine Shu missed the throne under the threat of her Yan Sihan and several elders, so that the harem lost power?

Could it be that Lan Yeyu is ungrateful to Concubine Shu? Scold.

Sihan's face was indifferent, and his expression fluctuated slightly, but it was not obvious.

Zheqian didn't say anything more, he stood respectfully, the whole person was as calm as water, but vaguely thick, giving people a sense of indescribable silence.

After the surrounding atmosphere was silent for a long time, Sihan came back to his senses and said lightly: "The regent is indeed powerful, and even the palace does not dare to deal with it, and it is also powerful that Concubine Shu can have a relationship with the regent." ”

Zheqian said slowly: "When the younger brother said this, he just wanted to tell the truth, and he didn't want to deceive the imperial sister and only increase the estrangement." But if the imperial sister suspects the mother concubine or something else because of this, the younger brother hopes that the imperial sister will look at the courtier's brother, and also for the sake of the mother's current illness and loss of power, and will no longer pursue the mother. Everything she did was just for the sake of her brother, but the brother had no intention of taking the throne and respected the new emperor, and the royal sister should rest assured. ”

His words were convincing, unhurried or slow, and his tone was mixed with a bit of undisguised heaviness and seriousness.

Sihan stared at him deeply, was silent for a moment, and only said lightly: "Donglin has just come back from the country's ruin, and my Yan royal family members are not happy, and this palace does not want to harm his siblings and create infighting in the country's mess." What is the relationship between Concubine Shu and the regent, the palace will no longer pursue it, but today the palace is open to you, and I also hope that the three emperor brothers, remember what I said to the palace today. ”

He said respectfully: "What the minister said today, the brother will definitely remember. Thank you for your kindness. ”

Sihan looked away slightly, "Today's matter, that's the end of it, in the future, you and Concubine Shu will live in the palace." When the Tanglin crisis is over, when you are in time, the palace will persuade the emperor to crown you as the king, give marriage, and give the fief, at that time, you and your mother and concubine, go out of the palace to the fief, and pass peacefully. ”

His pupils shrank, and his expression was slightly complicated, but it was only for a moment, and he withdrew all the expressions under his eyes, and then lifted the hem of his brocade robe slightly, and knelt down towards Sihan again.

Sihan's expression changed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "This palace is so arranged, does the third emperor brother have any objections?" ”

He shook his head slowly and said respectfully: "The younger brother has no objection to the arrangement of the imperial sister. It's just that Tanglin killed my father and brother, stepped on my Dongling, and my younger brother, as the heir of the Tanglin royal family, is willing to share the worries of Tanglin and the imperial sister. Therefore, the younger brother does not want to live in peace and survive, but wants to settle in the border pass and kill the enemy on the battlefield. ”

His tone was extremely heavy, and if you listened carefully, it was not difficult to hear a little resoluteness in it.

Sihan looked at him very deeply, if he said that he was not surprised or shocked in his heart, it was impossible.

The person in front of him was the person who was bullied by her in the past and had tears and snot, and it had only been a few years, but he was calm on the outside, and his heart was deep and bloody.

It's just that killing the enemy is not child's play. Besides, how could she hand over the military power to him at will?

At this point, Si Han stared at him for a moment before he spoke softly, "The third emperor brother is now going to fight for me in the battlefield of Dongling?" Defend against the enemy? ”

He nodded firmly.

"Going into battle to kill the enemy is not child's play, but it is not a matter of determination, or reading a few military books every day. On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, if there is no martial arts, if there is no strong physique, it is undoubtedly ...... Dead. Sihan spoke again.

His face remained unchanged, and he said in a low voice: "Fist and foot kung fu, my brother has also learned a lot in recent years, and my brother also knows a little about the art of military writing." If the imperial sister does not give the younger brother the title of official and general, it will also become, and the younger brother will start from the border pass, but if the younger brother is not good, he died on the battlefield like his father and brother, and the order of the younger brother should be this, and the younger brother should bear it himself, and there will be no complaints. ”

Sihan raised the corner of his eye, and he really couldn't understand him.

Now this Zheqian is deeply valued by Lan Yeyu, and he wants her to make him the king of one word and shoulder to shoulder three times, but now it is good, in the ruins of this Donglin, when her young brother's foundation is unstable, he actually asked himself to leave the palace and go to the border battlefield.

And in the battlefield, there is no fine clothes and food, and if you are not careful, you will die, this Zheqian, who has always grown up in the palace, will go willingly?

The more he thought about it, the more complicated Sihan's face became.

He knelt upright, his face was calm, his eyes were calm, and no emotion could be seen.

After waiting for a while, Sihan looked away slightly, and said in a low voice: "You want to go to the border pass, can Concubine Shu know?" ”

He nodded slowly, "A few days ago, when the border was tight, when the father and the crown prince and the royal brother led the army to fight, the younger brother told the mother concubine, but the mother did not respond, and now, the younger brother is the blood feud of his father and brother, and then he told the mother and concubine his wishes, and the mother concubine did not stop it again."

said, her voice was a little far away, "In this life, the mother concubine has always lived for her father, but now that the father is gone, the revenge has not been avenged, and the mother concubine is depressed, and she is finally willing to let her brother take revenge." ”

Revenge.

The heavy word also suddenly pierced Sihan's heart.

The sea of blood and hatred engraved in his bones is suddenly spread out, and his mood is undoubtedly sad and heavy, and it is difficult to restrain it.

There was a little undulating distance and sadness on her face, and she didn't say anything.

Zheqian looked at her quietly and continued to speak, "Brother Chen's life has not had much ambition, and now, he just wants to do his best and do something." Rather than spend the rest of his life in the palace and the fiefdom, the courtiers would rather fight on the battlefield, spill blood, take revenge, and hope that the imperial sister will be fulfilled. ”

Sihan came back to his senses, his eyes fluctuated, and he said in a low voice: "The emperor's heir is stationed at the border pass, and the matter is very high, this matter, after considering this matter with the palace, I will give you an answer." ”

His brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, and there was a hint of helplessness on his face.

For a moment, he nodded to Sihan very seriously, and said slowly: "The younger brother is at the mercy of the imperial sister's arrangement. But if you can set off at the border pass, the younger brother, you will be trained at the border pass, and if Donglin dares to offend me again in the future, my brother will definitely fight with his life. ”

Sihan's heart rose and fell more and more, and he looked at him deeply.

He lowered his head slightly, kneeling peacefully, the whole person seemed to be calm, but it was gratuitously heavy, giving people a kind of depth and determination that could not be touched.
