Chapter 55: The Weasel Greets the Chickens
The king of Nanjiang helped the old emperor Nan Wuyan to arrange his robes, paused for a moment, raised his eyes and looked at the old emperor in front of him and said: "Father, to be honest, emotionally, the son has been far away from the capital, away from the mother concubine, and even far away from the father and emperor, naturally his heart is full of concern and thoughts for you and the mother concubine, but in the eyes of the son, if you make a mistake, you will be punished, the punishment provisions of the Great Zhou Dynasty have always been above personal feelings, as the ruler of a country, you naturally cannot bend the law for personal gain, even if it is your concubine, The prince still has to obey your rule, and the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, this is the law of our Great Zhou, so the child does not understand it since he was a child, but as he grows up, he has understood your good intentions, so the child does not hate you! On the contrary, I admire your selfless courage! ”
The old emperor's eyes widened, looking at Nan Xuanye in front of him, he was not without emotion in his heart, and more praised: "Sure enough, it is my good prince of Nan Wuyan, and it is really the blessing of Da Zhou, compared with you, the prince is really getting more and more disagreeable, the gap is really too big!" My father's recent health is not as good as before, and he needs to recuperate, you have full authority to take over the affairs of the court, I will personally draft a holy decree, and tomorrow I will issue a hundred civil and military officials in the court, the third child, you do it well! ”
"I want to beat the crown prince Nan Xuanye well, and see for myself who is more qualified for the throne of the emperor of Da Zhou." This is what the old emperor Nan Wuyan thought of silently in his heart, he naturally didn't say it to the third prince Nan Yanlie in front of him, he is not a fool, his body is getting worse and worse, but his brain is still clear, he personally set up a lot of princes, naturally he knows that the prince Nan Xuanye is so the prince Fang Min is very talented and capable, so many years of conscientious help him deal with government affairs, has not been said irrationally, but since he brought the third prince Nan Yanlie to his side, the crown prince Nan Xuanye has had one thing after another, He naturally knew that this matter was not easy!
Especially the third prince Nanjiang King also personally sent the woman to the side of the prince Nan Xuanye, the old emperor was the same in his heart, but he just pretended to be blind, the more the two princes changed at the bottom, the happier he was in his heart, to see who was more capable, if the trouble was too outrageous, he would naturally come forward to balance, and now the prince Nan Xuanye was only temporarily kicked aside by the old emperor, and he could still bring the prince Nan Xuanye to his side at any time.
In the old emperor's mind, the two princes have always been his pawns, and during his tenure, no one wants to sit alone, no one thinks, he will always be the hunter behind the scenes with the greatest benefits.
"Father, then you should rest early, and your sons will retire!" The king of Nanjiang looked at the old emperor who was deep in thought in front of him, and suddenly said.
"Okay, you can go back, I'm tired!" After the old emperor finished speaking, he yawned, and Nan Wuyan in the back looked at the person in front of him, still feeling a little sad in his heart.
"Son's resignation!" After the king of Nanjiang finished speaking, he bowed down and retreated, until everyone was gone, Nan Wuyan immediately fell asleep, and the maids on both sides quickly closed the palace door, and the room fell into darkness again.
The moment Nan Yanlie came out, the sky had already darkened, he was suddenly in a good mood, temporarily acting as the government, he didn't have to go through the prince Nan Xuanye, and he had full power to call the shots in the future, it was really a great thing, his good moment was finally coming.
Before dawn, in the courtyard of Fengyang Palace, Prince Nan Xuanye had already walked out, walking slowly in the courtyard, the air in the early morning was always wet and cold, cold, the cold wind hung on people's faces like a knife, the eyes of the person who blew couldn't open, and his hands were about to freeze off, but at this time, Prince Nan Xuanye was contrary to the usual decadent state and did not move directly in the courtyard, holding a sword in his hand and propping up on the ground, walking in circles in the yard.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, it's too cold outside, is it good for Cheng Yu to help you enter the room, it's not good for your body to recover at all!"
Cheng Yu stood aside, looked at Nan Xuanye in front of him and said.
"It's okay, Xiao Wang, I insist on staying, if you're cold, you can go in first!" Nan Yanlie looked at Cheng Yu in front of him and said, still insisting on carrying the long sword, walking in the courtyard in circles, taking two steps, suddenly felt that it was not interesting at all, and insisted on walking out.
"Where are you going! Just walk around the yard! Cheng Yu was shocked again.
"Don't follow me! You're like a mother-in-law now! Prince Nan Xuanye glared at Cheng Yu, shook off the sword in his hand and walked outside.
"Feel free, but you must follow me, I'll just keep my mouth shut, you go first!" Cheng Yu quickly covered his mouth, looked at the prince Nan Xuanye in front of him and said.
Nan Xuanye didn't say anything, and walked directly in the direction of the Hundred Beast Garden, Cheng Yu in the back immediately thought of what Cheng Yu wanted to do, and immediately sped up his pace to keep up, but he didn't dare to stop it, he was really worried that the prince in front of him, Nan Xuanye, would not let him go, she was going to die in a hurry, he really couldn't stop it!
Nan Xuanye covered his chest, his windbreaker was blown by the cold wind, and the whole person looked at ease at all, he stubbornly closed his eyes, opened them again, and continued to walk forward slowly.
When Nan Xuanye walked to the stable of the Hundred Beasts Park, he had been walking for half an hour, due to the reason of his body injury, Nan Xuanye could not walk fast, so he could only walk slowly, at this time when he walked to the Maxima stable, he was already full of cold sweat, it was cold outside, and the indoor Maxima stable was still a little warm.
Nan Xuanye directly took out a gray horse that he often rides, and when he walked out, the horse didn't seem to be very comfortable with the cold air in front of him, so he flew directly into the air, walked out and ran dozens of steps, and directly grabbed Nan Xuanye in front of him and knocked him to the ground, and the high hooves of the gray horse rose into the air and kicked directly towards Nan Xuanye's chest in front of him.
Nan Xuanye couldn't dodge, just when Cheng Yu was about to block the direction of Nan Xuanye and directly let the horse's hooves step down, Nan Xuanye directly chose to close his eyes, his hands were tightly clasped together, his eyes were full of unwillingness and resentment, and helplessness, no matter how stubborn he was, in the end, he couldn't defeat the runaway horse's hooves, so he could only choose to die!
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Cheng Yu's face was pale, and just as he was about to turn over and block in front of Nan Xuanye, a long lassock suddenly stretched out in the air, directly pulling the crazy gray Maxima over, and the horse fell heavily to the ground, letting out a painful wail.
Nan Xuanye raised his eyes and looked at the person in front of him who was pulling over the horses, wearing a blue-gray cloak draped over his body, a black robe, holding a long horse pole in his hand, and a charming smile on the corner of his lips.
"Big brother! How are you?!? Nan Yanlie directly threw away the horse pole in his hand, and walked over quickly to help the prince Nan Xuanye who fell to the ground.
At this time, Nan Xuanye's face looked pale and he looked frightened, but when he stood up, his face had returned to normal, and he quickly covered up the abnormal situation just now.
"Thank you! Third brother, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid that my Nanxuan would die under the horse's hooves today. Nan Xuanye raised his eyes and looked at Nan Yanlie in front of him, the two of them at this time looked really stark contrast, Nan Xuanye looked very pale and weak, decadent, Nan Yanlie looked infinitely spring, and his mood was very comfortable, although he looked worried on the surface, but the light projected from his eyes was still very fresh and relaxed.
"This is what the third brother should do, now it's cold, big brother, let's go in quickly, you are weak now, you can't blow the cold wind, if you want to get better quickly, you have to pay more attention to your body, don't abuse yourself, otherwise it will be counterproductive!"
The king of Nanjiang directly helped Nan Xuanye to walk in the direction of Zhaoyang Palace.
"You're on the wrong track!"
。
Nan Yanlie, the king of Southern Xinjiang, stopped, looked at Cheng Yu behind him, and raised his eyes slightly: "What did you say?" ”
"It's okay, let's go in! Send Xiao Wang in! Prince Nan Xuanye glanced at the expression of the king of southern Xinjiang in front of him lightly, and directly pushed away the support of Nanyan Lie, the king of southern Xinjiang in front of him: "Third brother, Xiao Wang, I'll go by myself, thank you!" ”
The king of Nanjiang took a deep look at the king of Nanjiang in front of him, looked at his empty hands, took a step back, and smiled: "It's okay, the eldest brother can do whatever he wants, and the younger brother has always been obedient!" ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince! I'm here to help you! After Cheng Yu finished speaking, he was about to take a step forward, but as soon as he walked in front of him, an arm suddenly appeared in front of him, and Cheng Yu raised his eyes to see that it was Nan Yanlie, the king of Southern Xinjiang.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to go by himself, are you more courageous than this king to disobey the Prince's order and come forward without permission? Is this king not as good as a little guard of yours? Nan Yanlie raised his eyes and looked at Cheng Yu in front of him, his eyes flashed.
Cheng Yu had a fire in his heart, and he wanted to reach out and slap off the arm of the king of Nanjiang in front of him, but he couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, glanced at the master in front of him who didn't look at him and kept moving forward, silently bowed to the king of Nanjiang in front of him, retreated, and silently looked at Nan Xuanye, who was walking in front of him, worried.
Nan Xuanye just fell off the horse, and now with every step he takes, the wound on his heart cracks open a little, the placket on his chest is slowly soaked with blood, his hands hold the placket tightly, and he walks very slowly, but the blood on his chest begins to soak rapidly, Cheng Yu is anxious, he doesn't care about anything anymore, he rushes to the front of the prince Nan Xuanye, looks at the blood soaked in the clothes in front of him, and runs towards Zhaoyang Palace with Nan Xuanye on his back.
"Find the Imperial Doctor! Where is the Imperial Doctor! Doctor! Cheng Yu shouted loudly for a long time, and the guards on the side quickly walked outside to find the imperial doctor, and the scene quickly became chaotic.
Half an hour later, the crown prince Nan Xuanye fell crookedly on the bed, the imperial doctor frowned, bandaged Nan Xuanye's wounds again, and waited until everything was sorted out and the imperial doctor left, and the surroundings were quiet again. Nanjiang played Nan Yan Lie calmly looked at the prince Nan Xuanye in front of him:
"Big brother, do you still have a strong will? Look at how deep your wound is now, doesn't it hurt? Remember it later! ”
The king of Nanjiang covered his chest and looked at the king of Nanjiang who looked righteous and stern in front of him: "You are really ...... Care about Xiao Wang me! ”
Nan Yanlie looked at the weak prince Nan Xuanye in front of him and smiled: "Everyone is like this, don't hit the south wall, don't look back, don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, don't go to the end, don't fail, don't suffer hardships, don't remember, and, you are my eldest brother, the third brother naturally wants to relate to the eldest brother in his own way!" ”
"It's a good way to care if you don't cry when you don't see the coffin." Prince Nanxuan's eyes were slightly raised, his eyes were cold, his hands were tightly covered with his chest, he closed his eyes directly and did not speak, the scene instantly became embarrassing, and the king of Nanjiang, who was left aside, quickly stood up and walked out, closed the door and left.
At this time, Cheng Yu, who had been guarding the side, looked at the prince Nan Xuanye in front of him and wanted to rush in, but the prince Nan Xuanye in front of him needed to rest even more, he was very passive now, he really needed to calm down, and he couldn't disturb the prince Nan Xuanye.
At this time, the king of Nanjiang who came out of the East Palace, looked back at the majestic gate of the East Palace, his eyes slipped a trace of ruthlessness, and strode out, at this time, Nan Li, who had been waiting on the side, looked at the ugly face of the king of Nanjiang in front of him, and immediately opened the curtain of the carriage: "Lord, what happened?" ”
"Prince Nan Xuanye's wound collapsed again, and he almost died under the horse's hooves, now he is not a human being, a ghost is not a ghost, just a Xia Yinbing, this Royal Highness the Prince is really infatuated!"
At this time, the carriage was already moving forward, Nan Li looked at Nan Xuanye in front of him and suddenly asked, "Then the prince, why don't we plan ahead for the next step, how about it?" ”
At this time, Nan Yanlie, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, opened his eyes slightly: "Don't worry, the game has just begun, how can you bring all the good shows so quickly in such a long time, you have to watch it slowly, taste it slowly, look at Nan Xuanye's unlucky and decadent appearance, I am very happy, why don't we consume it slowly, and see how long Nan Xuanye in front of me can last." ”
"Now the king is tired! Take a break! After Nan Yanlie finished speaking, Nan Li on the side immediately closed his mouth and did not speak, and at this time, the carriage was moving quickly in the direction of the Southern Xinjiang Palace.
At this time, in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, the crown princess Song Yanran was staying in the study, Song Shijie, the secretary of the military department, bowed his head and drank his daughter playing chess, after a few games of chess, the crown princess Song Shijie all failed, and the whole person looked not good at all, three months pregnant, and her body looked a lot fatter.
"When you're tired, go and rest." Song Shijie looked at his daughter Song Yanran in front of him and persuaded.
"Daddy, why don't you help the prince say some good things in the court, now the emperor is so pampered by the king of southern Xinjiang, snubbing and suppressing the prince, the prince is also seriously injured now, lying alone in the East Palace and no one cares, the woman is very distressed!"
"You know what! Now whoever is close to the prince is unlucky, he is now framed by the king of Nanjiang because of a woman, and is disliked by the emperor, this is all his own fault, he is looking for death, no one can save him, you are still pregnant with his child, did he send someone to ask? I knew that I would have listened to your eldest brother, and I couldn't marry you to him, you look at you now, if Daddy didn't take you over, you would definitely be serving that guy with a big belly now! I've killed you, daughter! ”
Song Shijie directly dropped a white chess piece, and put away all the last few chess pieces in front of the crown princess Song Yanran, his eyes were low, and he only stared at the chess game without speaking.
"Then you just watched the prince continue to decline like this? The baby in your daughter's womb is your own grandson! Song Yanran pouted aggrievedly.
"What if it's a money-losing girl? If the child does not land, everything is false! ”
"But the imperial doctor said that it was the prince!"
"Dad said, the child doesn't land, everything is fake, Dad only believes what he sees! If the prince doesn't cheer himself up, no matter what you give birth to, it will be a bitter seed, and maybe it will ...... in the end."
Song Shijie didn't say it all, maybe this kid will soon become a ghost under the knife, the royal family is ruthless, cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, it's too normal, isn't the old emperor on the throne now just slaughtering all his dozen brothers, cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, and only after decades of worry-free heels?
Song Shijie took his woman over as soon as possible in order to prevent his daughter from becoming the funeral object of the East Palace, he is not having a good time now, he has always said that he is sick and can't go to the court, so he has to be grabbed by others to grab the pigtail, then he will open the knife, when the prince Nan Xuanye is the substitute for the dead ghost, standing in the wrong team, choosing the wrong person, even if he is beaten, there is nothing to complain about, making a choice has always been a give-and-take, what he gets may be glory and wealth or a big sin in the sand, nothing is forever, the only thing that remains unchanged is to live tremblingly and tremblingly walking on thin ice.
People are in officialdom, and they can't help themselves.
"Dad, do you need to live so selfishly? If there really is a day, you are really ruthless to ignore the prince? Song Yanran still didn't give up, glanced at her father Song Shijie in front of her, and asked worriedly.
"No, it is a question of whether the entire Song family can get out of danger at that time, and when the time comes, Dad will take the initiative to resign and stay away from officialdom, the Song family is now in a state of flux, Dad has been an official for most of his life, and now he has seen a lot, nothing is as important as living well, Dad is now sick and at home, this is Daddy's choice!"
Song Yanran's whole person was instantly deflated, she looked at the chessboard blankly, and raised her tearful face for a long time: "Daddy is right, life is more important than anything else, my daughter understands Daddy, it is a woman who is too selfish, and even wants to put the entire Song family in danger." ”
"Okay, if you want to open it, go back and rest, don't cry for that negative person anymore, go back and sleep well, everything will be fine!"
"Daughter retires!" Song Yanran was slightly blessed, and walked towards the embroidery building with the support of Tao's mother, on the way, Song Yanran turned back three times in one step, looked at her father several times, and finally turned around and strode away.
Late at night, the crown prince Song Yanran quietly walked out of the back door of the Song Mansion, and Tao's mother carried a few packages on her back and helped Song Yanran to walk out quietly, and a carriage was already parked at the back door.
"Mother Tao, can you put the letter I wrote to my father in his study?" Crown Princess Song Yanran looked at the nurse beside her and asked again.
"It's on the master's desk, he'll see it tomorrow morning, don't worry!" Tao's mother replied.
