Jingnan Palace,

The prince drove in slowly.

Before King Jingnan entered Beijing, the palace had already equipped enough well-trained maidservants in this palace, but on the first day that King Jingnan stayed here, they were all sent back.

In the palace, only some guards lived, and they were responsible for cleaning.

So

When the prince got out of the car,

even

There was no one in charge who came up to lead the way.

The smell of blood remaining on the two stone lions on the left and the right in front of the old marquis's mansion in Litian City tells people that the mansion of King Jingnan has never had any temperature.

maybe

There is only one exception, and that is Pingxihou.

It may be difficult for outsiders to understand that Pingxi Hou is an outsider, but here in the palace, especially here in the guards, he can always be treated preferentially;

Because the guards can see that when their prince is with Xihou and Pingxihou, a smile will appear on his face.

When the armaments of the cadres were the most depleted, no matter how hard the military leaders of the three sides drank the blood of the soldiers, they would not forget to give enough food and salary to their exclusive family members and give them a high enough pension.

This is as a general, no, this is the basic instinct that the lowest generals can have, children know the sugar cubes in their hands, and they want to give their neighbors and friends who have a good relationship with themselves;

And the real commander of the party, the famous marshal, what he can do is that when he stands up,

Behind

Million

Tens

lakh

Several hundred thousand

Will I die for it!

The blind man once said that in this era, a really strong army is itself a religion, and then the blind man said that using religion to describe a really good army is actually a kind of blasphemy, to be precise, it should be ...... Faith.

Faith is gathered in the manager.

And since Cuiliu Fort, Shengle City, Snow Customs and now Fengxin City, along the way, the demon kings have always had an extremely clear reference while building characters on the master, that is, the Jingnan Army.

In the last war of Huachu, it was not only the main force of the Jingnan Army that participated in the war, but also the Zhenbei Army, the Jindi Army, the Forbidden Army, and the local army, hundreds of thousands of troops gathered, and the composition can be described as extremely complex.

But King Jingnan's military order is the most sacred iron law in the army.

When it was necessary to mobilize an elite team and hand it over to Zheng Fan to carry out the in-depth combat mission without affecting the number and not being perceived by the Chu people, none of the army leaders dared to deceive, and they all handed over the most capable and elite soldiers under their command.

That's influence, that's faith;

And the guards who follow the prince's side are the culmination of this belief.

The prince is their heaven, so there is no need for them to grovel to any powerful people who come to the door.

After waiting for a long time, an old man with a broom came over.

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness Fukang."

The prince asked gently:

"Where's my uncle?"

"If you go back to Your Highness, the prince is in the back house."

"Hmm."

The prince nodded.

The veteran got up, took a broom, and left;

Well

Just left.

Next to the prince, Li Yinglian stared at the back of the veteran, her face was full of disbelief, and she wanted to open her mouth to scold that Qiu Ba for not having any rules, but she just opened her mouth, but she didn't dare to scold.

He is the head of the internal affairs of the East Palace, but here, he does not dare to make a mistake at all.

The prestige of the Southern King of Dayan not only suppresses the enemy country, but also has an extremely terrifying haze in Dayan.

The prince himself went to the back house,

Li Yinglian, who followed behind, carried the food box, and waved her hand at the same time, signaling the rest of the entourage to stand by.

For a moment, the entourage breathed a sigh of relief almost simultaneously.

Just entering the gate of this palace has already made them very depressed.

Dayan's internal affairs office has always been a yamen that bullies the weak and fears the hard, but in terms of the repair of the palace, I believe that it is impossible for the king of Jingnan to let people stuff money or communicate with each other, but the internal affairs office still does not dare to have the slightest neglect, which can be described as dedicated.

But no matter how good the garden is, when there is no popularity in it, it will eventually give people a feeling of depression.

For the crown prince,

Walk here,

It's like the Fengzheng Palace that I go to see from time to time.

"Uncle."

When he came to the back house, the prince shouted.

Then

He saw a figure in a white python robe walking out of the house.

Uncle and nephew should be relatively close.

This is indeed the case, Ji Chenglang still remembers that when he was a child, his uncle also took himself to shoot arrows and ride a horse, and at dusk, his uncle took him back to the palace, and he would be disgusted by the queen mother:

You like to take him crazy!

At that time, my mother often had a smile on the corner of her mouth when she said these words, and my uncle's face was also smiling.

I don't know when it started.

Suddenly the days were gone.

It is not the day when Jingnan Hou destroys himself, in fact, it will be sooner and earlier.

Ji Chenglang looked at the familiar and unfamiliar face standing in front of him,

memory

All of a sudden, it was pulled back many years ago.

On that day,

He was sullen.

Because the father studied the homework of the princes and asked a few national policies, the performance of the sixth brother can be called perfect.

The father was overjoyed, hugged the sixth brother and put it on his knees, and said the words:

"Hahahaha, Cheng Jue is exactly the same as when I was young."

then

He and the eldest child, the third child, the fourth child and the fifth child all knelt down below.

Ji Chenglang admitted,

At that moment,

He was jealous.

He was jealous of his sixth brother, who had shown astonishing intelligence since he was young;

He is not angry with himself, why is he so much older, but he is still not as good as his sixth brother;

Why, why,

Why can't my father boast about me?

I

Obviously, I'm working hard.

The queen mother never said to him that you are the eldest prince of Dayan.

The queen mother's personality is tranquil and strong, but she has always been very soft to herself.

She never said that she wanted to win her father's happiness and like, let herself fight for the position of the East Palace, so that in the future, she could reign over the world like her father.

She hadn't said it, not since she could remember.

But he himself has always known.

he

JI Chenglang,

is the eldest son, according to the etiquette, the East Palace will be his, and the dragon chair in the future will also be his!

His uncle,

It is the Marquis of Jingnan of Dayan, who is in charge of the 50,000 Jingnan Army and the 50,000 rear battalions!

His grandfather is the head of the Tian family, and he is the top group of gate valves in Dayan!

His mother is the queen, the mother of the country of Dayan!

But why,

I can't compare to the sixth brother,

Why!

That night,

When he slept, he cried and wet his pillow, young and frivolous, but he had to behave politely, and he had been very conscious of maintaining the dignity of his eldest son.

Therefore, he can only cry secretly, alone, in the dead of night.

That night,

He even hit the pillow with his fist and cursed his sixth brother, why didn't he die young, didn't they all say, God is jealous of talents, is it easy to die early, why is his sixth brother,

You can't die!

An hour before dawn,

He sat up,

He retired the companions and palace maids who were accompanying the bed below,

A man sits on the edge of the bed;

He was terrified, terrified of his previous hysterical thoughts;

He was ashamed,

Because

He's still an older brother.

And he sat there until dawn, and he was constantly feeling remorse and frustration at his wickedness in the night.

It shouldn't be like this,

Myself

It shouldn't be this way.

It's not a matter of decency, it's not something to be ashamed of, it's not something to hate, it's not something to hate,

As a brother,

It can't be like this.

"It's ......... Wrong ........."

He cried and kept repeating the phrase.

Until Li Yinglian urged a few times, Mr. was almost here and was going to class.

He got up and wiped his face fiercely with the towel handed over by Li Yinglian, not to wipe away the fatigue of a sleepless night, but to wipe away the self from last night.

And then

That

The sixth brother did not come to class.

He was strange, but he didn't think much of it.

When I went to greet my mother,

He saw his uncle standing at the gate of Fengzheng Palace.

The uncle stood at the gate of the palace, wearing the gilded armor that he had always admired and felt extremely heroic, and hanging from his waist, the Kun Gong given by his father and the emperor.

As usual, he ran to his uncle, he wanted to ask his uncle if he was going to take him out to play again, he wanted to ride his uncle's Pixiu, he wanted his uncle to take him to archery, he wanted his uncle to take him to see the drills of the soldiers.

however

When he ran to his uncle,

He heard his mother's scream in Fengzheng Palace:

"Why, why, no mirror, why are you like this, why are you like this, you will do whatever he tells you to do, you will do whatever he asks you to do, right!

younger brother

younger brother

How did you end up like this,

younger brother

How can you ........."

Ji Chenglang stopped,

At this point,

The uncle seemed to sense his coming, turned sideways and looked at him.

Uncle was smiling at him,

But suddenly he felt great fear,

Because the armor in front of my uncle's body was covered with blood.

The blood, perhaps covered layer after layer, was already hanging on it.

Obviously, he didn't notice it before, but after seeing the blood, he seemed to have smelled a strong smell of blood.

Ji Chenglang squatted on the ground and began to vomit.

"How do you let her live, how do you let her live, how do you let her live!

You and him, why are you so ruthless, why are you so ruthless, why, why! ”

Ji Chenglang didn't know why his mother was so excited, he knelt on the ground, through the palace gate, and saw the mother inside, who was also kneeling on the ground and crying, and the palace maids and eunuchs around her wanted to help her up, but she pushed her away.

Then

Uncle spoke.

"No mirror, act according to the edict."

"Exterminate the prince's mother's family, there is no mirror, throughout the ages, those who do this will have a good death?"

Uncle didn't answer,

just nodded to the queen mother,

And then

Turn around.

The queen mother screamed:

"Brother, don't you become like him, you don't become like him........."

The uncle didn't turn around and didn't respond.

When you come to yourself,

submit

He looked at himself again.

The uncle stretched out his hand to himself, trying to pull himself up;

And Ji Chenglang at that time was already so frightened that he hurriedly shrank back.

The uncle withdrew his hand and walked out of the palace.

And then

Ji Chenglang knew one thing,

last night

The uncle led 3,000 knights of the Jingnan Army and destroyed the Min family.

The Min family is up and down, and the chickens and dogs are not left.

Bong,

It is the will of the Father.

The plasma on the armor in front of the uncle coagulated, and it was the blood of the sixth brother's mother's clan, splashed over and over again;

Why doesn't the back,

Because my uncle had a sword,

Kill all the way forward.

"Ahh.........h

Ji Chenglang got up, his mind was blank, he only remembered that he was going to find his sixth brother.

He found the sixth brother,

He was huddled in a corner of the dormitory,

Hold your knees,

There sobbing.

When he ran over, the sixth brother raised his head and looked at him, bursting into tears.

He had never seen a sixth brother like this, and it seemed that only when he was very young, when the sixth brother fell, he would cry and shout to himself like this;

"Second brother, it hurts to fall ........."

After that, the sixth brother showed that he was too intelligent to ordinary people, learning everything quickly, and seeing everything thoroughly.

But at this moment,

The sixth brother cried again and shouted to himself:

"Second brother......... My mother's ......... My mother's ......... No ........."

Concubine Min,

After learning what happened last night,

Hanged himself.

That, woman, is gone.

Ji Chenglang doesn't hate that woman, he also knows that his queen mother doesn't hate her either, to be precise, the former palace, the prince's mansion later, and now in the harem, few people will dislike Concubine Min.

After his father ascended the throne, he practiced frugality.

Concubine Min used her family's money to buy food for the princes.

There are six brothers, and there are several other brothers, and they must all have them.

The queen mother once advised her not to be so extravagant.

But she smiled and said:

Sister, I have already married into the Ji family, as a woman of the Ji family, I took out some money from my mother's family to subsidize our Ji family's own buddies, this is just right, isn't it?

Your Majesty wants to throttle, what is saved is the silver of the treasury, which is to make an account for the ministers to see, and the ministers see that the expenditure of the inner treasury is less, and the meaning is to understand, even if our own family really eats chaff vegetables, should the ministers really believe it? Do the people really believe it?

So, let's continue to eat and drink.

She is very cool and very good at being a person, she has never given people a sense of hatred for the rich for gold and silver, but it makes people feel like a spring breeze.

Every time he took the ornaments, fans, and pendants from her hands, Ji Chenglang would raise his head shyly and happily and reply: Thank you, aunt.

Even if her father ascended the throne and everyone lived in the palace, the princes were reluctant to change her name.

She is the biological mother of the sixth brother and the aunt of all the princes.

And then

She's gone.

Ji Chenglang knelt down and hugged the sixth brother.

"Second brother......... My mother is gone............ No ............"

The sixth brother is still crying,

And Ji Chenglang's hands were trembling.

He was afraid, afraid that it was his curse last night that had led to today's evil consequences.

……

"Your Highness, Your Highness."

Li Yinglian's call interrupted Ji Chenglang's memories.

The man in the white python robe still stood there, just looking at himself calmly, without speaking.

Li Yinglian urged him to take out the snacks that his uncle liked, and the food that his uncle would prepare for him every time he came to Fengzheng Palace, from the food box.

The shoe sample should also be shown to my uncle.

At this point,

Late autumn winds,

Blowing up,

It's cold, and against the backdrop of this unpopular palace, it's a little ...... Biting.

Time

Ji Chenglang was in a trance.

It's as if everything is back to that day of the year;

He stood on the palace road leading to the gate of Fengzheng Palace,

Uncle, still standing there.

As if in the dark, he heard the cry of the queen mother again.

But this time,

It's not that I'm crying Concubine Min,

But...... Tian family.

Time, as if a long, long time had passed, and it seemed like a round had been turned back.

On that day, the sixth brother, who was crying in his arms, became more smiling than before.

He's ridiculous,

He is free and easy,

In the prince's mansion and outer mansion, he raised a lot of singers and dancers;

He would tell jokes, he would make his brothers happy, and he was more comfortable with his father than before.

As if the relationship between father and son,

Because of the death of the concubine,

It's getting closer, it's getting stronger.

He could feel that the sixth brother had put down something, such as ...... His pride.

The sixth brother of the year, he was excellent and smart, but because he was still too young, he didn't know how to hide the pride in the depths of his eyes.

He compares himself to his father, and he is better than his brother;

Born in a commoner's home, that is called the pride of the sky;

Born in the family of the emperor, it is called .........

But in the years that followed, Ji Chenglang never saw the word "proud" in the eyes of the sixth brother again, not once.

Did you lose it?

Ji Chenglang didn't believe it,

It's more hidden.

The sixth brother told him that he had met a very interesting lieutenant at the gate of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, surnamed Zheng.

It was the one surnamed Zheng who saved him from the hands of the barbarians.

That barbarian is very powerful, he is the king of the left valley of the barbarian royal court.

afterward

Ji Chenglang knew that the captain surnamed Zheng went to the military department and was transferred to Yinlang County as a garrison.

And then

I saw him myself,

In the Prince's Mansion.

To be exact,

The first thing I saw was my uncle, who hadn't been home for a long time.

Uncle, I'm back.

After returning,

In the prince's mansion, let the surnamed Zheng abolish the third brother.

He was a little at a loss, and a little incredulous;

Then, my uncle went home, and my mother also returned home.

……

The autumn wind rolls up the fallen leaves and rubs the ground with a "rustling" sound.

Ji Chenglang took a deep breath,

He heard his mother's shouts again, shouting "Brother", shouting "No Mirror", shouting over and over again: "Why", "Why", "Why".

So

Why?

Ji Chenglang raised his head,

Look at your uncle.

King Jingnan's gaze was still calm.

Li Yinglian, who was beside her, was a little anxious.

Ji Chenglang knows what he should do,

The old story,

Don't be so direct,

But be sincere, be sincere, and be revealed.

Mr. Zhu said that King Jingnan was not the devil who exterminated humanity, as can be seen from his overnight whitehead, from his support and protection of Pingxihou, and from his settlement of his son.

Ji Chenglang wanted to say,

I don't need you to help me see it,

I know better than you what kind of person my uncle is.

Ji Chenglang pursed his lips,

He began to walk forward, towards the king of Jingnan,

one-step

one-step

Another step;

King Jingnan stood there, as if he was there, waiting for him to come, looking at his nephew, as if he was a child, taking the initiative to run towards him.

The soles of Ji Chenglang's boots crushed a fallen leaf.

Suddenly,

Some distressed,

Ridiculously distressed.

He had almost everything, everything that the princes of all dynasties had dreamed of and could not even dream of.

The god of the Great Yan Army is his own uncle;

Dayan's other optimus pillar is his own Mount Tai;

He was the eldest son;

Everything should be natural, shouldn't it?

But

Why?

He stopped,

From a not so far distance, he looked at Tian Wujing.

Yourself, why?

And what about him?

What about my uncle?

The son-in-law of the family, the young master of the Tian family;

The elder sister is the queen of the dynasty, the nephew, and the candidate for the crown prince;

He is a pinnacle martial artist, he can defeat the Sword Master, and he is also commanding thousands of troops and horses to destroy the country and destroy the capital!

But he,

Why did you choose such a path?

Suddenly,

Ji Chenglang's "why" is indescribable.

It's not because he can't find an answer from his uncle,

It's that he knows that his uncle has the answer.

And he, Ji Chenglang, is not afraid that he will not find the answer, but that he is afraid of ...... Face the answers.

In an instant,

Everything has not become boring, but like the autumn wind blowing at this time, it has become less important.

There is no vitality of spring, no heat of summer, and no biting bones of winter, that is, a little cold, a little cold.

He wanted to say:

Uncle, I'm so tired.

But I still can't say it.

The person in front of him will only be countless times more tired than himself.

He opened his mouth and took a few breaths, wanting to cry, but no tears.

It's a damn autumn, and it's painfully dry.

Ji Chenglang turned around,

Without saying a word,

Under the watchful eye of King Jingnan,

He began to walk back.

"Your Highness......... Your Highness......... This ........."

Li Yinglian didn't know why.

This is the last chance, and the ...... The best chance.

Tomorrow's big court meeting will be extremely dangerous!

But the prince came like this, and left again.

I didn't take out the snacks in the food box at all.

The nephew is gone,

My uncle stood there all the time, and he didn't stay.

The prince sat back in his chariot,

said two words lightly:

"Go back to the palace."

drove slowly out of the palace.

Li Yinglian knelt on the side, obviously confused, but she didn't dare to ask anything.

Inside the carriage, a charcoal basin was burning, flickering bright and dark.

The prince took out two shoe samples from his cuffs, put them in front of him, and looked at them carefully.

subsequently

The neck is slightly tilted back,

Take a deep breath,

Tonight's palace banquet, tomorrow's big court meeting, the offensive that is about to come from the sixth brother,

He didn't want to think about it right now, and he didn't want to think about it anymore.

Like a bird,

God gave me wings,

But who broke it one by one?

"Wow!"

The shoes were thrown into the brazier by the prince.

"Your Highness!"

Li Yinglian let out an exclamation.

"Hehehehe........."

But the prince laughed,

raised her hand to signal that Li Yinglian was not allowed to save the shoes,

Just so quietly watched as the shoe samples burned to ashes in the charcoal basin, and in the carriage, a puff of green smoke burned out;

At this moment,

He thought again of the boy who had curled up in a corner of the dormitory and sobbed.

"Hehe, hahahaha.........

The world is like chess,

You and I are both chess pieces, so how can we win or lose;

Life is like a play,

All living beings are plays, where can they be persistent? ”

I myself think this chapter is well written and deserves a monthly pass.
