Wei Yan was silent, Prince Chengqian smiled lowly, seemed to be a little self-deprecating, diverted the topic, and said, "Is Lord Wei the eldest son in the family?" Solitary view, Master Wei is very good at getting along with children? ”

"Oh, no, I'm the fourth in my family, and I'm the fifth in our family, and I often help my brothers and sisters take care of the children, so I'm used to it."

"I see, Lone has lived in the East Palace since he was eight years old, and in the first three years, my father and mother also lived there with me, and later, they moved to the Taiji Palace, the East Palace, and I was the only one left, so I was not very close to my brothers and sisters, and Lord Wei was really enviable."

Cheng Qian said with a gentle smile, it was the perfect and smart prince again. Wei Yan smiled and said: "I can't say that, I still envy Your Highness, you haven't gotten along with a group of children, sometimes, it's quite cute, but sometimes, it's so noisy that people want to collapse." ”

Prince Chengqian smiled again, his young face under the moonlight, and his pretended brisk tone, all of which were full of nostalgia: "When I was a child, my father was busy with military affairs, and my mother was in charge of the Qin Palace, and I took my younger brothers and sisters to ...... with my uncle and fourth uncle."

Speaking of this, Cheng Qian suddenly stopped, sighed, and stopped talking. Wei Yan guessed what he was going to say and remained silent.

Come to think of it, this Prince Chengqian is also a poor child, born in the second year of Wude, at that time, his emperor's father, was ordered by his emperor's grandfather to go out of the town mayor Chun Palace, when he was born, his father was not around. Then Li Xiaoer was sent out to lead the troops to fight, and he did not return to Chang'an until July of the fourth year of Wude, that is, Cheng Qian, the poor child, did not see his father until he was more than two years old.

In the next few years, his father either went out to fight or stayed in Chang'an to fight for power with his brother, and it was not a peaceful life anyway. The father and son naturally spent more time together than before, but I'm afraid Li Xiaoer didn't have much thought and energy to enjoy the fun of being a father.

Modern theories hold that a child, especially a boy, has a very important relationship with his father in his early years, because that is when he gains a sense of security, recognizes his own gender characteristics, and initially builds a psychological balance, and this recognition and relationship can only be obtained through intuitive feelings - that is, no matter how many times his mother and the nurse tell him, "Your father is a great hero, a real man, a pillar of the country, and all respects", it is far less effective than a simple hug from his father with open arms.

If this lack of paternal love is possible in the homes of ordinary subjects, it is possible to compensate for this, after all, it is not uncommon in history to have fathers die young, but sons have been raised by single mothers and still succeeded. But Li Chengqian was unfortunate that when his father was absent, no male had the ability, or rather, the guts, to treat the prince of Qin in a fatherly way.

Li Chengqian grew up to be eight years old, the Xuanwumen mutiny, his mother was taken to Xuanwumen by his father and his wife to take refuge, and Chengqian, there is no record in the history books that the eight-year-old prince of Qin went to the labor army with his mother. I don't know what the little boy who was abandoned by his parents in the high walls of the deep palace in the early morning and helplessly listened to the sound of the fighting outside.

Of course, for Li Chengqian himself, he may not understand so many causes and consequences, and he may not feel that "my parents don't love me" because of this, but there is one thing he should know: those cousins who were close to him and used to play together in the palace disappeared overnight, and the people around him were not even allowed to mention those names again. (The above paragraph is excerpted from the article "Li Chengqian, the proud son who dried up in thirst for love"!) Because this article is very popular with me, so borrow it! Remark! ）

When Li Xiaoer and his wife moved out of the East Palace, Cheng Qian should have been eleven years old, right? An eleven-year-old child, left him to live alone in the huge East Palace, or his old residence built by his unlucky uncle Li who was killed by his father, the friends who used to play together, the former residence of the father of the friends who were killed by his father, I don't know if an eleven-year-old child dares to sleep at night.

From the perspective of an ordinary person, Wei Yan is very sympathetic to Prince Chengqian, but from the perspective of a courtier, this matter is not something he can ask about, sympathy is okay, and reason is still needed.

After thinking about it, Wei Yan said: "His Royal Highness is the eldest son, and as a father, the requirements for the eldest son are always stricter than those of other children. Let's take my father, he is ten times stricter with my eldest brother than with me, very strict, and if he makes a slight mistake, he blames him, and when my eldest brother has an outstanding performance, he also looks like he deserves. At first, my eldest brother didn't understand and had a bad relationship with my father, but later, when he understood that it was all his father's love for him, he was relieved. As a son, you always have to let your father have a few points, after all, the son is the younger generation, and the father is the elder. ”

Cheng Qian smiled faintly and said: "Since I was fourteen years old, every year when my father went out to patrol, I was in charge of the country, and I was the only one left in the palace, the queen mother, the fourth child, the ninth child, and the younger sisters, all followed my father, I am the prince, the eldest son, I have to take care of it more." ”

This smile has an indescribable bitterness. Wei Yan was silent again, scratched his head and thought for a long time, and whispered: "Today, King Jin asked me, is there any way to make the crown prince, the queen mother, and His Majesty happy, and make everyone happy." ”

"What did Master Wei say?"

"I said, I don't know."

Cheng Qian smiled, not as if he was surprised. Wei Yan continued: "I gave an analogy to King Jin. Everyone's heart is like a house, the door is closed, no one knows what is going on inside, and no one can enter unless the owner opens the door, including those closest to them. I said to King Jin, this opening the door, like breaking the cocoon into a butterfly, whether it hurts, whether it is difficult to sleep, only the butterfly that breaks the cocoon knows, but if you want to jump out and become a beautiful butterfly, you must always have the courage to break the cocoon, and you can only rely on courage and wisdom to survive. ”

Cheng Qian was silent, Wei Yan stepped forward and pushed the wheelchair: "Your Highness, it's late at night, it's time to rest, no matter how dark it is today, there will be dawn tomorrow, before dawn, that is, when the sky is the darkest, survive it, and the light will come." It is dark at night, and it cannot be all the time. ”

Wei Yan smiled gently, summoned the chamberlain, and carried Cheng Qian back. Cheng Qian, along the way, was thoughtful.

The next day, before dawn, when it was dawn, Wei Yan got up, went to wake up Prince Chengqian, pushed him, didn't go far, moved a chair on the eaves of the porch, accompanied him, and the two sat quietly.

It seems that there is a suggestion that if you get off the list, don't post too much, just update it regularly! It seems to let it break out after it is put on the shelf, what's the matter?
