I was caught off guard and befriended this thug who was more than a round older than me. Heyu culture and turning enemies into friends is really the most proud thing I've ever done, after all, one more friend is much safer than one more enemy. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only knew that Yu Wenhua had injured me, but for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the feud between me and Yu Wenhua was only a trivial matter, because the Emperor fell ill unsurprisingly this winter.

This matter has actually been foreshadowed, since the queen died last year, the emperor has been depressed all day long, how can he, an old man in his sixties, withstand this kind of toss, plus I heard that he met the ghost of His Royal Highness King Qin in the Ganlu Hall one night and was frightened, and it was cold in winter, so it was strange if he was not sick.

As soon as the emperor is sick, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will go to serve the sick, but according to Zhang Wensu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not so much going to serve the sick as just in case. In case the emperor hangs up, he, the crown prince, is not by his side, and if his elbow and armpit become his emperor, he will not be able to do it.

Because I was stabbed by Yu Wenhua, I simply took leave from His Royal Highness the Prince, stayed in the house to recuperate, and when I was about to celebrate the New Year, I received a letter from my father, telling me that I had another younger brother Li Yuanji. The birth of this younger brother has added a little trouble to me, because I know that it was this younger brother who accompanied me to die in Xuanwumen, and now I not only have to think about myself, but also start to think about this life of dragging oil bottles.

After my injury healed, I went back to the East Palace, and found that everything was still as usual, the emperor's illness had been cured, Yu Wenhua was still cold to me, and occasionally targeted me, although I knew his intentions, but this unreal feeling still made me feel awkward, but there was no way, because he was reasonable.

Because I knew the fact that the Sui Dynasty was going to perish, I didn't care at all about the struggle for power and profit between the DPRK and China. Not long after the emperor recovered from his illness, he fell ill again, and the only thing related to me about this matter is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince decided to personally go to the Daxingshan Temple in the southeast of the city to pray for the emperor's blessing, and the people of our East Palace need to accompany him.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince moved the people, he led the way in front, and the attendants and officials of the East Palace had to accompany him, and when he went out of the Qixia Gate in the southeast, he met two people arguing with the soldiers guarding the door, it turned out to be the abolished prince Yang Yong and Yang Xiu, the king of Shu who was demoted to a concubine, I took a closer look, they looked a little similar to His Royal Highness the Prince, but there was less heroism between the eyebrows, and his eyes wandered and looked decadent, and the younger Yang Xiu still had a little anger on his face. In fact, I have long known that I will meet them, and I have heard that they come here every day to make trouble, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince deliberately wants to pass by here.

When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw them, he waved his hand at the soldiers guarding the door, and the soldiers bowed and withdrew. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stepped forward and arched his hand: "Big brother, fourth brother, such a coincidence? I don't know what happened to you entering the palace? ”

Yang Yong originally wanted to speak, but was robbed by Yang Xiu and said: "My father is sick, and I want to visit my son, and these dogs dare to stand in the way?" I'm getting tired of living! ”

Yang Yong tugged at his sleeve and said lightly: "I heard that my father is sick, we want to visit the palace, and we invite the second ...... Please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to remember the brotherhood and fulfill our filial piety. ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at them and said with a smile: "What did the eldest brother say?" I'm about to go to Daxingshan Temple to pray for my father's blessing, but it's not as good as ever, what does my eldest brother think? ”

Yang Yong nodded reluctantly, in fact, he couldn't refuse. Yang Xiu saw that the eldest brother agreed, so naturally he didn't have anything to say, so he had to go with him.

Daxingshan Temple is really very big, and His Royal Highness the Prince is also very pious. In contrast, I am extremely unreligious, but I can't say that, when I put my hands together in front of the Buddha statue, I am definitely not thinking about wishing His Majesty the Emperor a long life and other nonsense, on the contrary, I wish he would hang up soon, so as to satisfy my curiosity about the attributes of the baby - after all, I still can't think of how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince defeated the country, and I also want to see how he managed to get so many women to pull the boat for him.

I only thought of two people - my mother and Xu Ruoxiu. Thinking of my mother because my mother is very devout to the Buddha, she told me that if you believe in it, you will not believe in it, and if you don't believe it, you will not have it, which shows that she is not a superstitious person, but she is very pious, and she also believes that sincerity is spiritual, which seems to me to be a little contradictory, but I often ignore this contradiction after a long time.

As for Xu Ruoxiu, she has been gone for too long, and I really hope that I can meet her again while walking on the street like last time, but the word chance encounter itself speaks for itself, so I haven't met her again after so long. Sometimes I wonder if it's because I've never come to ask for a Buddha, so when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince closed his eyes and didn't know what to think, I begged the Bodhisattva in my heart, hoping that she would let us meet again. At this time, the words of the mother came into play, didn't it say that sincerity is spirituality? My heart is sincere enough.

When we came out of Daxingshan Temple, almost everyone was so tired that they couldn't walk, only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself was still so energetic that he couldn't use up the stride like flying back to the palace, and when he passed through the palace gate, he also looked at Yang Yong and Yang Xiu. I suddenly felt that they were as fragile as two lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

The emperor was recuperating in the Anren Hall where Mrs. Xuanhua lived, and Mrs. Xuanhua came out to see Yang Yong and Yang Xiu looking a little wrong, and only saluted His Royal Highness the Prince, and let them into the inner room.

It didn't take long for us to stand outside the hall and we could hear the sound of falling things coming from inside, and then we saw the prince hurriedly come out and shout: "Ding Cheng, my father has an order to take Yang Yong and Yang Xiu out of the palace and never see each other again." His expression was sharp, and there seemed to be a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

I turned my head to look at the East Palace guards behind me, Ding Cheng and I glanced at each other, looked away, waved his hand, and someone dragged Yang Yong and Yang Xiu out. I saw that the two of them were still struggling and crying, embarrassed, Yang Yong's clothes were splashed with soup, and Yang Xiu was even worse, his head was bruised somewhere, and blood was still oozing out.

I looked at Yu Wenhua and saw that his eyes were slightly closed, as if he was ignoring all this.

Later, I learned that it turned out that the guard on duty that day was pulled by Yang Su to the emperor and accused Yang Yong and Yang Xiu of misdeeds, and I didn't have to think about it to know that the matter was exaggerated.

After this incident, the emperor's illness became even more serious.

I saw that the atmosphere in the entire Daxing Palace was a little tense, and I knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was doing it as a precaution. I don't know what his plans are, I don't think all this has anything to do with me, I really think so, but I was wrong again - the prince was too tired to serve the sick all day long, and the imperial doctor ordered Xun Jian to personally come to see His Royal Highness the prince.

It's not that I haven't seen Xun Jian, he will appear as soon as the emperor has something, but it is the first time I have seen him in the East Palace, and it is even more the first time to be alone with the two of him.

After he finished diagnosing the pulse for His Royal Highness the Prince, it was nothing more than saying that he was too tired and needed to pay attention to rest and other nonsense, in fact, everyone knew that it was the same whether he said it or not, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seemed to be very useful, and after seeing the illness, he actually asked me to give him a ride.

When there were only two of us left after leaving the palace gate for some distance, Xun Jian suddenly said: "Now there is a matter that must be decided by the son." ”

As soon as I heard this, I raised my head and looked around vigilantly, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" ”

Xun Jian also said in a low voice: "Your Majesty's illness is not powerless, but it is ......"

I turned my head and said, "But someone wants it." ”

Xun Jian nodded and said, "Not bad." ”

I smiled and said, "It seems that Imperial Doctor Xun has encountered a lot of trouble. ”

He also smiled: "That's why I asked Gongzi." ”

I thought about it for a while and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a repetitive heart, this matter is easy to do, but you must be careful of the aftermath." ”

Xun Jian touched his beard, looked at me, and said with a smile: "It seems that the child's ambition is not small." Childe rest assured, Xun will do it himself, and there will be no difference. ”

I looked at Xun Jian's back and somehow suddenly flashed in my mind the two forks that my father drew on the snow when I went to the barracks for the first time, one was Yang Su, and the other was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now.

The emperor's illness has not yet improved, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't hide his smugness, and now he won't know even if he openly communicates with Yang Su, because the people serving around the emperor have long been replaced by His Royal Highness the Prince's henchmen.

In May of the fourth year of Renshou, the emperor dragged the sick body to Renshou Palace to escape the summer.

Renshou Palace was designed by Yu Wenkai, the most powerful architectural engineer of the time, and is located just north of Qizhou City. I think this palace is actually similar to the current face project, because the emperor is the founding emperor, in order to show his great achievements, so he specially built something to flaunt his achievements, the reason why I say this is because although the scale of Renshou Palace is not small, and it is magnificent, but the emperor himself rarely comes.

But this year he finally came.

No matter how busy he is with political affairs, he can't do anything when his body collapses, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has become the de facto decision-maker of the empire. Of course, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still respects his father very much, and will ask his father for instructions before implementing everything, but in my opinion, this is just a formality.

When I was driving with the prince at Renshou Palace, in fact, I secretly went back to Qizhou, and it was summer, and the weather was too hot, and I met my master, Wang Rengong, again in the Qizhou military camp.

He hadn't changed anything after all these years, and he didn't recognize me at first when he saw me - which was understandable, not only had I grown a lot taller, but I had also become more handsome.

When we went to the city for a drink, I told him that I had actually become friends with Yu Wenhua, and he was surprised for a long time and then patted me on the shoulder, and said something inconsequential, probably complimenting me on how good I was.

How so? I also think I'm pretty good.
