Chapter 187: The Truth

His study is not like an ordinary general, the room is full of swords and soldiers, but the room is full of books, but there is no military book, there is a xylophone in front of the window, and there is a pipin next to the xylophone, which does not look like a general's study.

The three of them hesitated into the study, and when they saw that the room was empty, they led them to rest and drink tea on the round table beside them, and the three of them were silent.

The sound of heavy footsteps came from outside, Ye Feng walked in with a calm face, didn't even look at the three of them, sat straight in front of the desk, rubbed the bridge of his nose tiredly, picked up the envelope in his hand and looked at it again, and didn't seem to find them.

The general of the northern border is the general of Dayan Zhenguo, the general of Dayan unifies the north, and the north border is the last line of defense of Dayan, resisting the remoteness, the scene is cold and snowy, and the barbarians frequently come to attack, although there are many soldiers and great power, but coming to this place is equivalent to being assigned.

I heard that twenty years ago, he was still a famous general of Zhenguo, and once he offended the first emperor, he was assigned to guard the northern border, and this guard was twenty years.

Yiren looked at the man quietly, he was wearing a majestic armor, the whole person looked tall and strong, but there was no half of the awe-inspiring air on his face, his temples were white, his deep eyes were full of experience, his black and gray beard covered his chin and lips, he looked like a simple farmer.

The afterglow of the sunset shone through the window in front of the desk and on his face, his face wrinkled as he told the vicissitudes of life, rough fingers were flipping through something, Yiren looked quietly, tears inexplicably wet his eyes, and she held it back.

Seventeen waited for a while, and found that Ye Feng really didn't find them, so he whispered, "Old man!"

Ye Feng raised his head in surprise, but the smile on the corner of his mouth froze, his eyes met, Yiren stood up and bowed slowly, "Daughter, I've seen my father." ”

This father's scream was too heavy, Ye Feng's eyes were hot, and he didn't know how to speak.

Yiren didn't think that they would meet in this life, nor did he think about what she would say in reply, and after a bow, he quietly pushed aside.

Ye Feng saw Xiao Yu'an behind her, stunned for a moment, restrained his expression, and then spoke, "Close the door, you come here, I have something to tell you." ”

Ye Feng looked at the three people in front of him, sighed, and handed the envelope he had just read to Xiao Yu'an, and before he could take over, he handed it to the Yiren on the side.

Yiren was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled, and hesitated to open it, but before he finished reading the letter, he saw that she suddenly rubbed the letter in half, covered her chest and took a few steps back, panting uneasily, looking at Xiao Yu'an in fear, Seventeen noticed that she was wrong, and instantly grabbed her waist and let her rely on him.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yu'an looked at her face, asked uneasily, and stepped forward to get the envelope.

Yiren reflexively hid the envelope behind his back, Xiao Yu'an's hand stopped in mid-air, as if he understood something, and his voice was cold, "Take it!"

Yiren shook his head vigorously, Xiao Yu'an was about to be strong, Yiren looked at Seventeen helplessly, tears crossed the corners of his eyes one by one, "Seventeen, don't, don't give it to him!"

She shook her head vigorously and said not to give him the envelope, Seventeen hugged her and avoided Xiao Yu'an slightly, Xiao Yu'an's fingers gradually tightened, and murderous aura flashed in his eyes.

"Don't, don't fight."

Yiren saw Xiao Yu'an's eyes again, and his heart was suddenly pinched by someone, and his whole body was trembling.

Seventeen let down his guard and lowered his head, his chin resting on the top of her head, "Don't be afraid, give him a good or not, no matter what it is, he must bear it." ”

Yiren was smothered in Seventeen's arms, slowly closed his eyes, as if he had mustered up great courage, took a deep breath, and trembled and gave him the envelope in his hand.

When the envelope was really in Xiao Yu'an's hand, he didn't dare to look at it, and he didn't open it until he was mentally prepared.

At that moment, he felt the great hostility of the world towards him, and he was like a brute bull, losing all his strength, and crashing forward without any purpose.

His hands trembled uncontrollably, his forehead, face, and neck were bruised, and his eyes were always full of warmth covered with hatred, and he was angry, unwilling, puzzled, and his eyes were scarlet.

"Ahh

A roar came from his throat, and he bent over his knees and wept, his arched back trembling.

Seeing him like this, Yiren covered his mouth with both hands, and threw his head into Seventeen's arms, "The Xiao family is full of people and has been exterminated." ”

"Buzzing", Seventeen felt that something had been buzzing in his ears, and he even staggered back and looked at Ye Feng, who had been silent, as if to confirm that this was not a joke or a dream, Ye Feng slowly closed his eyes, and Seventeen understood.

He looked at Xiao Yu'an, who was bent his back, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Xiao Ye disregarded the prestige of the Xiao family in the family, and regardless of the persuasion of hundreds of officials, he insisted on doing so, even if he aroused public resentment, he was not afraid, he just wanted to force Xiao Yu'an to this point, force him to the point where hatred covered him up, and forced him to go back for revenge when he couldn't bear it.

"This letter should have been delivered to you five days ago, but it was detained in Kyoto two days late, and then it was delivered directly to me, just to allow you to meet the northern army smoothly."

"Who is it?" Xiao Yu'an asked hoarsely.

Ye Feng shook his head, "I don't know, after that accident twenty years ago, I don't know how many people the first emperor left for you, I only know, far more than what you know." ”

What really happened twenty years ago? What kind of people are the people around him? What kind of life did his father arrange for him? He didn't know any of this, and if he could, he hoped that from the beginning, he wouldn't have uncovered the first layer of mystery.

But he can't, the more the mystery is revealed, the more he can't stay out of it, because he carries the faith and persistence of many people.

"Please also tell me everything that has happened in the past twenty years."

He stood in the moonlight, looking up at the bright moon, the blue jade robe shining under the moonlight, and the young man with a long body like jade was full of concern.

The night was very cold, and after the great sorrow, Yi's body showed his shortcomings, and began to cough, and Seventeen held an umbrella and caged him under the umbrella, and sat on a round bench in the pavilion.

Ye Feng stood on the corridor, hearing him say that he wanted to know what happened twenty years ago, he couldn't help laughing, he looked at the three people in front of him, his eyes were dyed with love.

What happened 20 years ago? I'm afraid that I won't be able to tell for a while, but if each of them can accept their fate, maybe they won't be too sad.

"Twenty years ago, King Rui, who had a different surname, rebelled and launched a palace mutiny, and the first emperor was ordered to pacify the palace mutiny and ascend the throne to become the king, which must start from the previous dynasty."

"The Great Yan established the country with martial arts, and the ancestor emperor established the Great Yan Dynasty after unifying the north, and built an imperial palace in Kyoto, which continued for several generations in the following dynasties, and the Great Yan Dynasty gradually stabilized."

"The ancestor emperor was born as a military general, and taught future generations not to forget the root of martial arts, so even if he later went out to conquer and expand the territory in order to guard the court, Ren taught future generations to unify the dynasty and establish a real harmonious and different era as the successor."

"But the hundred officials don't think so, they are used to living a comfortable life, and they don't want to have any more wars, but the fear of power in their bones does not make them speak their minds."

"Later, the court was stable, and the emperors of the past dynasties remembered the warnings of their ancestors, and personally went out to reclaim the four realms, and the court had no monarchs, and from generation to generation, the four realms became the things in the bag of Dayan, but the emperor's power was also weakened."

"The imperial power is controlled by the royal concubines and relatives, and Dayan seems to be powerful, but it relies on the four realms that the ancestors and emperors fought down to defend it, once any of the four realms is broken, Dayan will not be able to form an army."

"But the hundred officials are not worried, they have controlled the emperors with the power in their hands, and they have declined from generation to generation, but they still have not forgotten the entrustment of the previous emperors."

"Emperor Taiwu, that is, the grandfather of the first emperor, suppressed the hundred officials with thunder after becoming an adult, and after taking power, he intended to recover the precarious southern border, none of the military generals of the half dynasty were worthy of the heavy task, and then personally went out to conquer it in one fell swoop, and on the way back to Beijing, he was secretly ambushed by the hundred officials and killed on the spot, and later the historical records said that he died in the south."

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, for their own interests, ambushed the emperor of the current dynasty, and succeeded in one fell swoop, such a thing is simply unheard of, the three of them gradually clenched their fingers, and there was anger burning in their hearts.

"Later, the hundred officials supported the registration of the prince who was still a child at the time, and it was the later Emperor Xiaoxuan, Emperor Xiaoxuan was only twelve years old, and he did not understand the affairs of the court, so the hundred officials controlled the court on the grounds of auxiliary government, and after the weak crown of Emperor Xiaoxuan, he did return to him as promised, and Emperor Xiaoxuan grew up under the noses of the hundred officials, and in the eyes of the hundred officials, he was just a puppet emperor, and he was on their side."

"However, Emperor Xiaoxuan was born with a backbone, coupled with the careful teaching of the Queen Mother, the first thing in power is to implement benevolent governance, reduce taxes, unify the management of soldiers across the country, enhance subsidies, and open schools for free.

"Without doing so, they publicized Emperor Xiaoxuan's decree and created a chaos, which later made Emperor Xiaoxuan's decree idea a banned book, and Emperor Xiaoxuan finally died depressed."

"That is, on that night twenty years ago, the king with a different surname was instigated by hundreds of officials to create a rebellion, and the first emperor ascended the throne."

When Xia Zhishu was put on the prisoner car, she was not panicked at all, on the contrary, she was very calm, and she could even be said to be disdainful, she looked at the passers-by with an indifferent expression, and her waist was straight, even when she was crowned a princess, she had never been so disciplined.

Su Li folded the horse in front of him and chose to follow her on foot, Xia Zhishu was quite surprised to see him, but he just glanced at it more, and there was no reaction, it seemed that there was no surprise about his identity, power, there is not much of anything, and there are many vassals.

Su Li looked at her eyes, smiled bitterly, and looked ahead, "The princess doesn't have anything to say?"

"Yes." Xia Zhishu said indifferently: "Don't call me a princess, there is only one princess in Dayan, you should respect her."

Su Li nodded, as if he agreed, "Princess Jujun? I am respectful, so what should I call the girl, or what should the people of the world call the girl?

"The crown princess, or the queen." Xia Zhishu tilted his head and looked down at him flatly, "You should respect me." ”

It's not that Xia Zhishu is greedy for fame and fortune, it's just that she has to bear it for him, and she must sit firmly as his wife, otherwise, even if they escape from Beijing, the brand of ingratitude will hit him, will such a person be a good king?

That's it, someone who is closely related to his identity must stand up and take all this for him, this is what Xia Zhishu thought when he received Yiren's letter, she can't go, she must sit in this position.

Up to now, Su Li probably figured out why she chose this path so resolutely, her father was a loyal minister, and he had too much influence on her, although she was innocent on weekdays, she had her own big rights and wrongs in her heart, and in the end, she was so simple because she had too little experience.

Su Li did not call her the crown princess, only called her a girl, and only said that he hoped that when the girl returned, the world would be prosperous.

Xia Zhishu didn't listen to this shallow wish, turned his head to look at him, and saw him smiling gently, looking ahead.

"You seem to be the same person as Xiao Ye?"

Su Li smiled, "Naturally, it's different. ”

"I wish in my life, so people will go to hell today, and the world will prosper in the next life, without hope or wish, all of them deserve it."

And Xiao Ye wanted someone to accompany him into the swamp.

"You're a strange man." Xia Zhishu laughed, "I'm not doing well, and I want to dismount others to accompany you to hell." ”

"That's right." Su Li let out a sigh.

Xia Zhishu's eyelashes trembled slightly, she understood some words, but she didn't want to think deeply, some people, the story behind them is not worth digging deep, and they will fall if they are not careful, you pity him but you can't do anything, it is better to be ignorant all the time.

The two were relatively silent, only the sound of the car wheel turning, the people on both sides followed silently, chattering on weekdays, today is indeed a rare quiet, the sunset is slowly falling, the long street is silent, and it seems a little lonely.

Suddenly, Xia Zhishu burst out laughing, and the red golden fan was half-hidden in front of him, attracting Su Li's attention.

In order to lure Xiao Yu'an out, they moved very slowly on this trip, in order to wear down their patience, and her sudden smile made the atmosphere more and more weird.

"Isn't it too quiet?" If you don't count the sound of the wheels turning on the car, it is indeed quiet, and even a little weird.

Su Li turned his head and asked, "Great joy and sorrow, it should be lively." ”

Su Li lowered his eyes, and called someone to invite a musician who became a relative and went out of the funeral, and when the suona sounded, it was either great joy or great sorrow, and she took both of them.

The people were frightened by the sound, first stunned, and then silent, silently wiping their tears with their sleeves.

I don't know if the wind is lost or what, Xia Zhishu's eyes are inexplicably a little itchy, she thinks that she can't lose her body, she keeps a smile on her face, and she forcibly holds back.

It wasn't until Yuzhu led everyone back that she took a long breath, her entire back relaxed, her hands were propped up on her face, and she dragged her cheeks, "I'm going to get married today, it's good for you to dress up for me." ”

Chunyu couldn't react, what kind of marriage did she become, Xia Zhishu was still that naΓ―ve, seeing that she hesitated a little, he puffed out his cheeks and took her hand to be coquettish.
