Chapter 5: Flowing Water (II)

The courtyard of the palace should have never been crowded into so many people.

Han Cheng entered with Si Yan, turned the wall, and his eyes were black.

Wang Anshi's population has always been sparse, and he doesn't like extravagance, and the whole family is less than one-third of the Han family.

Han Cheng's children followed his parents to and from Wang's house, and he had never seen the secluded part of the house overgrown with wild grass, and he had never seen the front yard crowded with nowhere to settle - the front yard was crowded with cars and horses, which was common.

Seeing a group of soldiers of the Shenji Battalion dressed in black robes and carrying spears on their backs, Han Cheng really felt the gap between the prime minister and the emperor on the scene.

When his father came, the people around him could only go to the carriage and horse courtyard behind the side door, and only when the emperor came, could he have such a noisy style.

"Brother!"

Han Xuan shouted from afar, almost running over, the joy in his heart was endured, but his face still brought out a little.

Han Cheng hurriedly stepped forward with two steps, and his heart was also happy.

I haven't seen him for a long time, and my brother has grown up.

By Han Xuan's side, it was Han Cheng's nominal cousin, Wang Tan. As the host's house, come out to greet you.

The three of them exchanged salutes, and Han Xuan hurriedly asked, "Brother came so quickly, why didn't you bring anyone with you all the way?" Brother Yuan and Brother Liang didn't come together? ”

"I took Li Man, and after getting out of the car, I asked him to go home and report the news. It is inconvenient for small children to carry on the road. Han Cheng replied casually and asked Wang Tan, "How is my grandfather's health, but is he better?" ”

Wang Tan lowered his eyelids and looked at his feet: "In the morning, the doctor prescribed medicine, the fever subsided a little, and I am still sleeping." ”

Looking at Wang Tan's reaction, Han Cheng had already understood, and comforted, "Zimei is at ease, grandpa will definitely be auspicious." ”

Wang Tan replied in a low voice, but didn't react much, turned around, and led Han Cheng inside.

In fact, after arriving in Tokyo, Han Cheng was taken aback when he learned that Wang Anshi had died.

With Wang Anshi's age, as well as his previous illness, this time he was seriously ill and dying, and under normal circumstances, he couldn't drag Jingshi to Gongzhou for more than ten days.

The elderly can't be sick for a long time, even if it's just a minor illness of cold and fever, low-grade fever and cough for a few days, it will consume most of the vitality, and many times it will pass in one breath.

Wang Anshi has been able to hold on until now, and he can already be regarded as having a solid body.

But these days, there has been no improvement, and the result is actually doomed.

The three of them walked along the corridor on the edge of the front yard to the second gate, and Han Cheng, Han Xuan, and Wang Tan said as they walked, asking clearly that their father was now guarding the hospital bed in the backyard.

But when he was close to the main hall, he saw a chamberlain hurriedly coming out of the side door of the main hall, and as soon as he saw Wang Tan, he trotted over, "Uncle Guo, Uncle Guo." ”

Wang Tan didn't respond, and first glanced at Han Cheng and Han Xuan, and his face was embarrassed.

Han Cheng looked at Ban Zhi outside the door of the main hall, then at the waiter, and his eyes turned back to Wang Tan, and he already had a little understanding in his heart.

Han Xuan looked even more helpless when he saw through, "Cousin, let's go over there first, and the younger brother will take his brother over to see his grandfather." ”

Wang Tan nodded, confessed, and hurried over there.

"Fourth brother, what's going on?" Walking inside with Han Xuan, Han Cheng asked in a low voice.

Han Xuan nodded at the untraceable over there, "Luan drove over in front, and Daddy stopped the people around the emperor in the front yard, and only let the emperor and the third sister go in to visit the patient, and then the emperor waited in the outer hall." He sneered, "I don't know how long I'll have to wait." ”

"Why?"

"My grandmother turned around and said that the emperor entered the door with a large guard of honor, and those who knew understood that he was here to visit the sick, but I didn't know, and I thought he was here to urge his life."

Han Cheng snorted, smiling rather than laughing, "I actually said that." ”

According to Han Cheng's understanding of the Wu family, if he is so faceless, the relationship between the emperor and Yue Niang will definitely not be good.

Wu's character is like that. If a son-in-law treats his daughter well, then everything is good. Even if the two of them were fighting outside, she still watched how the little son-in-law looked and how pleasing to the eye. And the eldest son-in-law Wu Anzhi, who was not good to his eldest daughter, every time he came to the door over the years, the Wu family raised his eyebrows.

"Because the emperor treats the third sister badly." Han Xuan also said the same, "Last summer, my grandmother entered the palace and saw the third sister angry, and after she came back, she moved to live at home for two months, and only went back after autumn." ”

Han Cheng was very impressed by the cousin of the Wang family, and remembered that he was an external and internal character, and it would be strange if he could get along with the emperor.

"The third sister still doesn't like it?"

Han Xuan snorted disdainfully, "Just the emperor's body bones?" ”

Facing the two royal family members coming over, Han Xuan stopped talking, and when they saluted and walked away, he said in a low voice, "Let's raise those two Taizu to succeed them." ”

After the emperor's wedding, he first had three children raised in the palace, all of whom were of the Taizu lineage.

One of them died last year, and now the two remaining, the eldest is six years old, and the younger is four years old. If the emperor has no queen, then the throne is generally inherited by one of these two people.

Han Cheng shook his head: "It's good to be able to raise it." ”

The one who died last year, although it was announced that he was sick, but the palace people who served him, and half a month later, two people died. The imperial court thoroughly investigated, saying that it was an accidental coincidence, which was unconvincing. Therefore, inside and outside the palace walls, Tiannan and Haibei, the emperor instigated his subordinates to try to poison three children.

"The third sister has already pulled the remaining two to her side to raise, and she has also reported to the Queen Mother."

Han Cheng was stunned for a moment, his steps were also chaotic, he stopped a step, and shook his head, "Then it's no wonder." ”

When the empress did this, didn't she clearly say that the emperor couldn't have children? The affection between the couple can be seen from this.

Han Cheng sighed and said, "Otherwise, with the cleverness of the third sister, the emperor should be reminded." At this time, it is time to take a bite, are you still worried that there will be assassins? ”

Han Xuan sneered, "Maybe I thought there would be five hundred sword and axe men in ambush inside, just waiting for him to go in!" ”

If the old practice is followed, the emperor basically will not go out of the palace to visit his courtiers, and if he is close to his brothers and sisters who are seriously ill and dying, the emperor will not come out.

Once the emperor himself went to visit the sick and stood by the bedside, could the patient still lie in bed? As long as you have a little consciousness, you have to struggle to get up and cry and worship God's grace, you can still live a few more days, and after a toss, maybe you will die on the spot. What's more, if the emperor is sick and the emperor is sick, no courtier can afford this crime.

As long as the emperor is in his right mind, he will not come out to toss his courtiers, send more envoys out of the palace to inquire, and send more good medicine, even if he has fulfilled the affection between the monarch and the minister.

But now that it's out, you should think about what to do and what not to do.

Today, the emperor came to visit Wang Anshi as his grandson's son-in-law, and it was okay to put on a score outside, and when he entered the inner courtyard, he thought, could it be that the queen mother and Dutang agreed to let him come out, just to let him show off his might?

"Stupid." Han Cheng summed up, thought about it, and glanced at Han Xuan again.

As he spoke, he felt that something was wrong. Did this kid just watch the excitement and didn't see the doorway? Although the emperor is narrow-minded and has done a lot of foolish things, he is not so stupid.

"Actually, it's not, Daddy asked the emperor to go straight into the backyard without taking the class, the emperor hesitated, and Daddy shook his hand and left. I saw that the emperor almost fainted. ”

Han Cheng was speechless for a moment. He couldn't imagine how embarrassed the emperor was in that scene.

His father made a pit and kicked the emperor down, but the emperor reacted a little slower, failed to climb up in time, and buried himself in the pit.

"It's not that Daddy has a big temper." Han Xuan said, "These things should have been thought of when the emperor came out." When you get here, you have to think about what to do first. I don't want anything, on a whim, I come out with the third sister, isn't it natural to lose face? ”

Han Cheng nodded.

In fact, the emperor hated his father as a rebellious minister and thief, and he had to think about every word in his head three or four times to make sure that there were no traps in it. His father didn't wait for the emperor to figure it out, so he turned around and left, which was the emperor's own problem.

"Then the emperor found Wang Zimei to go over, is he planning to go in, or are he going to go back to the palace?" Han Cheng said, glancing back. Far away, I couldn't see the movement in the outer hall.

"Who knows." Han Xuan said, "It's best to go back to the palace early." If the emperor goes in, it will be ugly to quarrel,"

"What's wrong?" Han Zheng immediately asked, "Have you already had a quarrel before?" ”

Han Xuan sneered, "No matter how you say it, the emperor is closer." My uncle's generation is still a little angry, and when I get here, I plan to be a relative. ”

Crossing the threshold of the second gate together, Han Cheng frowned and thought for a moment, and asked, "Wang Chang?" ”

Among several cousins, Wang Chang's attitude of protecting the emperor was the clearest, and he quarreled with his own brother for this reason.

"There are also two from the sixth uncle's family." Han Hyun said.

Han Cheng was surprised: "Aren't they afraid of being beaten by their grandfather?" ”

Wang Anli and Wang Anshang are both able to do Zaifu. It is because of the current relationship between relatives that at most can only be political discussion. Not to mention that marrying the Son of Heaven is a private matter, the brothers Wang Anshi have a discord because of this marriage, and the people of Beijing can see it.

"Who knows?" Han Hyun said.

In front of it is the courtyard where Wang Anshi is recuperating, and there are people coming in and out all the time. Han Xuan looked up at the front, and saw two teenage little guys coming out of the yard and running over, "Sixth brother and seventh brother are here." ”

Han Cheng also squinted and looked over.

In my memory, the two little brothers were still just beginning to read and write, but now they are two handsome teenagers in front of them.

It's true that time flies, and after living in the countryside for several years, the brothers are even unfamiliar with each other.

The fifth and sixth elders of the Han family came to Han Cheng one after the other, and saluted respectfully, "My brother is back." ”

"They've all grown up." Han Cheng looked at the two brothers who were already at the height of their shoulders and chest, and it was no longer time to be able to lift one with one hand.

"Brother, hurry up and go in first." Han Xuan urged, "Grandpa, grandmother, father, and mother are all inside." ”

Han Cheng straightened his clothes and was about to enter, when he suddenly heard a mournful sound inside.

Taishi, Kaifu Yi and the three divisions, and An Shixue, the prince of Chu.
