On the second day, the ceremony of canonizing the prince was held as scheduled, and Da Chu finally established the prince, and the whole world celebrated.

The prince represents the hope of Dachu, the hope of the courtiers and the people, and the government and the opposition are full of joy. Chu Yan, the crown prince, has been unanimously supported by everyone, and it is well deserved.

Gu Qingyan and Wang Anzhi, who had been injured for more than a month, both participated in the canonization ceremony on this day, and the old Nanyang King finally waited for this day, he couldn't stay in the capital anymore, and after the ceremony, he decided to leave Beijing.

Gu Qingyan and Wang Anzhi have lost a lot of weight after their serious injuries have healed, and their previous robes have been loose and loose, but now they have made new clothes and worn them on their bodies, looking very tall and thin in the snow in the cold winter.

Su Han was in the Gu family cat for more than a month, and it was not until the canonization ceremony that he came out of the Gu family and appeared in front of people.

The courtiers saw that the prince of Zhenbei suddenly disappeared and suddenly appeared after a month of not seeing it, it was very rare, and the courtiers who knew the inside story sighed one after another, this prince of Zhenbei really deserved to be the person from the Zhenbei Wangfu, the Su family has always had a fox heart, and when they saw that the momentum was not right, they hid cunningly, and King Jing Chulan was planted on half of him, and the other half was naturally planted on the current prince Chu Yan.

When the emperor saw Su Han, he remembered the good concubine who was invited by Chu Lan to go to the North Wangfu in Mobei Town, and now the queen ignored him, seeing that she had no good color, she was cold-eyed, and the gentleness and pettiness of the graceful and beautiful people could not let the emperor eliminate this depression, and he remembered the good of the good concubine, the woman of the good concubine, who was empathetic and knew how to forgive people's hearts, he wanted her to return to Beijing.

So, on the same day, the emperor sent a letter to the king of Zhenbei, urging the concubine to return to Beijing.

Before this letter was sent out to the capital, it was intercepted by Chu Yan, and he looked at the emperor's handwritten "Siqing, return quickly." He smiled indifferently and instructed his subordinates, "I also have a handwritten letter here, let's send it to the king of Zhenbei together!" ”

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince."

His subordinates immediately sent a letter from the emperor to the palace of Zhenbei along with a letter from the crown prince.

After the canonization ceremony, the civil and military officials returned home one after another.

Wang Anzhi intercepted Gu Qingyan's carriage and looked at him wickedly with raised eyebrows, "Seventh cousin, look at you like this, does An Huajin really want that woman to you?" ”

Gu Qingyan's face was calm, his eyes were colorless, he looked at Wang Anzhi coldly and indifferently, and did not speak.

Wang Anzhi leaned obliquely against Gu Qingyan's carriage, stretching out his hand to pick up the curtain of Gu Qingyan's carriage, "What about you digging out your heart and lungs for her?" Isn't she just as unappreciative? ”

Gu Qingyan's eyes were cold and he didn't say a word.

Wang Anzhi continued, "For her sake, you even made Chu Yan the crown prince. And how? It's not that yet, and she hasn't even received a word. As far as I know, she has been communicating with Chu Yan recently, but she is very diligent. And you, I'm afraid you have long been forgotten by her. ”

Gu Qingyan was still silent.

Wang Anzhi's voice was lowered, "Gu Qingyan, aren't you pitiful?" ”

Gu Qingyan's eyes were slightly cold, "Have you said enough?" ”

"Nope!" Wang Anzhi was very simple, and he didn't seem to anger Gu Qingyan and didn't give up, "What? Are you going to fight me on this street and kill me? ”

Gu Qingyan looked at him calmly, with no emotion in his eyes, "Wang Anzhi, you keep saying that I can't become what I am, so what about yourself?" Have you looked in the mirror all these years? In the past, you were determined to change the world, so that no beggar in the world would freeze to death, and now you are stepping on a mountain of bones at all costs What do you want to achieve? Do you know that? Where did you get your face to laugh at me? ”

Wang Anzhi was immediately furious, and almost shouted with a roar, "My ambition has not changed, I want to benefit tens of millions of people, and a very small sacrifice is inevitable, and if it stands in the way, it should be removed." What's wrong? For example, if a hundred people suffer together, and if one person is sacrificed, a hundred people will not have to suffer, so why not? What's more, the tens of millions of people in Dachu only sacrificed hundreds or even thousands, what is the count? ”

Gu Qingyan looked at him coldly, "Sacrificing one person is not a sacrifice?" When you were young, you didn't look at it like this, when the beggar froze to death, you felt sorry for the tragic world in this world, and there were frozen bones on the poor road. Why should the Nanyang Palace, which has paid for the Great Chu for generations and is full of loyal martyrs, not be merciful by you, and become a roadblock and a victim that you must eradicate? If the beggar still has your mercy, shouldn't the Nanyang Mansion be respected by you? ”

"How can they be confused?" Wang Anzhi said with red eyes, "Nanyang Wangfu has good merit, but behind this merit, the people are getting worse and worse, whose fault is it?" Isn't there anything wrong with Nanyang Palace? Behind the control of the frontier, the support of millions of soldiers, and the protection of the border, isn't it also the name of the loyal minister and good general of the An family who has been recorded in the annals of history? The military system of Dachu is not changed, the malpractices of the government are not removed, and the roots of the family are entrenched. Isn't the crux of the problem in Nanyang Palace? ”

"Even if you are right, it is not the fault of the An family, it is the situation of Da Chu like this."

Wang Anzhi became more and more angry, "Because the An family has guarded the border for one hundred and fifty years and is unbreakable, the internal affairs of Da Chu have always been solidified. In the past one hundred and fifty years, even several generations of emperors have to admit that the An family is the center of gravity of Dachu. As long as the An family breaks a corner, the internal affairs of Dachu can be reshuffled in an instant. The focus is on settling in. You say that how can the An family not block my way to change the current situation in the world? Gu Qingyan, don't admit it. ”

Gu Qingyan's eyes were dark, "What if it gets in your way?" Your path may not be the right one. ”

"Then I'd like to see, what path are you taking? Are you on the right path? Wang Anzhi looked at Gu Qingyan with a sneer, "You protect An Huajin and let Chu Yan ascend the throne, the Nanyang Army will still stand firmly on the frontier for decades, and in the next few decades, the Great Chu will still be the same as the previous Great Chu, and the people will only become more and more bitter, but in the end, without the trampling of the soldiers and horses of Nanliang and Nanqi, the Li people of Great Chu will have been devastated." ”

"The malpractices of internal politics are not settled in the family, but entrenched in the family." Gu Qingyan said.

"But if the family doesn't fall, the family can't collapse." Wang Anzhi said angrily, "The family does not collapse, internal affairs have always been like a dense net, and there is nowhere to break, only the An family can tear open this two." Are you going to tear a hole in your Gu family? You are not willing to settle down in An Huajin, and you are not willing to settle down, so are you willing to give up your grandfather's life? If you dare to tear this hole from the Gu family, your grandfather will dare to be angry with you. ”

"Why don't you tear this hole from the Wang family?" Gu Qingyan asked rhetorically.

"The Wang family's mouth doesn't need to be torn, I'm the one." Wang Anzhi showed a fierce expression, "You won't let me kill An Huajin, I will kill Chu Yan, you won't let me, Wufeng Mountain is obviously an opportunity, but you went in person to protect Chu Yan, but I just did it." I don't understand, Gu Qingyan, what are you thinking? You've ruined all my arrangements, and that's what you want to get by? You have to get by, and let the world get by? ”

Gu Qingyan was silent.

"You speak!" Wang Anzhi roared.

Gu Qingyan looked at him directly, and finally spoke again, his voice word by word, calm and powerful, "I don't care what the world is, what she asks for is what I want." She wants to beg Nanyang Wangfu to guard the people of Dachu, so she will continue to guard, whoever she wants to protect, I will protect whomever she wants, I will support whomever she wants, what she wants, I will give it, I answer like this, are you satisfied? ”

"Okay, good, you're good." Wang Anzhi shook his hand and let go of the curtain he had been holding, and his eyes were red with anger, "You are Gu Qingyan, Gu Qingyan who lives for one person, you are amazing." ”

Throwing down a sentence, Wang Anzhi turned around and left with a full of anger. He didn't even sit in the carriage, and walked to the end of the long street in his robe.

The long streets of the capital of Dachu, they don't know how many times they have walked, when they were young, you chased me, you fought and I fought, and almost stepped on the stone slabs on the street, but it was always a road, never forked.

Wang Anzhi's back is getting farther and farther away, and the road he is taking now is the one that Gu Qingyan will never take and does not want to take.

Gu Qingyan sat quietly, Ren Wang Anzhi flicked the curtain and the cold wind hit him in the face like a knife, let the wind and snow blow the curtain, and the biting cold wind poured violently into the carriage, blowing through the thick cloak on his body, piercing into his skin, and cold to the bone.

He sat for a long time—

Until Qingmo reminded loudly, "Childe? It was getting late. ”

Gu Qingyan relieved his stalemate, closed his eyes and leaned against the wall of the car, and slowly ordered, "Let's go!" Go home. ”
