♂? ，，

The door was pushed open again, and Xuanyuan Yan walked in slowly, followed by the little demon Xuanyuan Yan.

Xuanyuan Yan's footsteps were very slow and slow, as if he was hesitating, tempting, heavy and difficult, the deep ink fell on the old man on the bamboo couch, and at the same time fell on the bodies of Ye Tianqing and Ye Ruoxi who were kneeling in front of the bamboo couch.

Ye Tianqing got up slowly, pulled Ye Ruoxi, stepped back from the bamboo couch, and made way for him.

"Minister, see the crown prince, meet the Eighth Highness."

Ye Tianqing took his clothes and knelt down, bowed his head and bowed.

Ye Ruoxi was helpless, this father knelt down and kowtowed, it didn't seem good for her to stand?

Just as she wanted to kneel, her arm had been grabbed by someone, and she looked up to see that it was Xuanyuan Yan who was holding his arm tightly.

"My father is above, my son Xuanyuan Yan, see my father."

Xuanyuan Yan let go of Ye Ruoxi's arm, said indifferently to let Ye Tianqing be polite, walked to the bamboo couch, picked up his clothes and knelt down, bowed his head deeply.

"Son-in-law, see father."

Xuanyuan was a few steps away from the bamboo couch and knelt behind Xuanyuan Yan.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Father."

The two of them got up slowly, took a few steps back and stood next to the bamboo couch, bowing their heads.

"Jinwen, I have too much to say, but unfortunately I came too late, and now I don't have the energy to say anything."

"Yes, the son failed to come to his father as soon as possible to ask for peace and ask his father to forgive him."

Xuanyuan Yan clenched his fists tightly, with an uncontrollable struggle in his indifferent attitude, the frail and sickly old man in front of him was running out of time, and even if he said a few words, he had to rely on the input of others to maintain it. This person is the emperor who has been sitting on the throne of Tanglin for more than 20 years, his father.

"I should come over sooner, I can talk to you more."

Xuanyuan Yan bowed his head and said nothing, his lips pursed tightly.

"Jinwen is my eldest son, the crown prince of the Tanglin Kingdom, and I have always kept this throne."

Xuanyuan Yan was still silent, his hands were held tighter, and the emotions in his heart were complicated and indescribable.

"I know that I must hate me deeply in my heart, I don't want to explain anything, I just want to understand that my position has been reserved for twenty years, and I have been waiting to grow up."

Gong Qingtian's emotions were a little excited, his wheezing became heavy, a touch of ruddy appeared on his face, and he coughed slightly.

Ye Tianqing gently pushed Xuanyuan Yan behind Xuanyuan Yan, Xuanyuan Yan turned his head slightly, saw the signal in Ye Tianqing's eyes, hesitated for a moment before walking to the bamboo couch and kneeling down on his knees, reaching out to hold Gong Qingtian's hand, and transmitting the internal force into it.

Gong Qingtian looked at Xuanyuan Yan with a pleased gaze, and at the same time glanced at Ye Tianqing deeply.

Ye Tianqing's movements and eyes could not hide the past in front of him, the more he reached the end, the weaker he was to the extreme, the more sensitive he became, but

to be aware of everyone's thoughts and movements. These people in front of him, in his eyes and heart, were as transparent as ever.

"Jinwen, I don't have the energy to talk too much, just ask Qingbi for the edict, I have already handed over everything to him. can absolutely trust Qingbi, he is his father-in-law, Ruoxi's father, and he is also the most trusted person in my thirty years, like a brother. ”

"Yes, my son obeys."

"Jinwen, I know that there are many things I want to ask me, and everything I want to know, you can ask Qingbi, and he will tell. If you don't understand, he can answer your questions. My time is short, and I can't imagine that I will see it in my last days. ”

"Please forgive my father, the current situation of the son, it is inconvenient to come forward, come to see the father, and practice filial piety in front of the father's sickbed. It is the son who is not filial, please forgive the father. ”

"Don't hate me too much, I'm leaving, can't a dying father win the forgiveness of his beloved son?"

"The father's words are serious, and the sons dare not be the ministers."

Xuanyuan Yan lowered his head, in front of this sick father, his heart was also full of awe and admiration, as well as indescribable hatred and emotion, so complicated that he couldn't tell what kind of emotion he had for Gong Qingtian.

"Lao Shi, he is still the smartest, he followed Jinwen early, brothers should be of the same heart, and I can rest assured."

"Yes, please rest assured that my son and the emperor will do their best to help the eldest brother ascend the throne and govern the Tanglin Kingdom."

Xuanyuan respectfully kowtowed and knelt behind Xuanyuan Yan.

"Jinwen ......"

Gong Qingtian's hand was raised and placed on the top of Xuanyuan Yan's head and stroked it a few times, with a look of relief in his eyes, this son has always been very good, he has been excellent since he was very young, and he is very talented. These many years of Taoguang cultivation have precipitated the breath of the emperor on his body, which is enough to be the prince of the Tanglin Kingdom.

"Jinwen, do you still hate your father very much?"

"The sons don't dare, my father, please don't work hard, rest in peace."

"Rest, from tonight onwards, I will rest and recuperate, and I won't ask about anything again, and I'll take care of everything. In everything, you have to ask Qingbi more, and he will help him. ”

"Yes, the son-in-law obeys the order, does the father mean that the son-in-law wants the son-in-law to stand up?"

"Whirring ......"

Gong Qingtian shut up and gasped sharply, and after a long while, he calmed down in the internal force input by Xuanyuan Yan.

"If you don't come forward, you can act in secret, and these things can be discussed with the right minister."

"The Queen's ......"

"The crown prince, the minister has already asked the emperor to ask for the emperor's will, and asked the queen to go to the Buddha hall to chant and pray for the emperor, and arranged for someone to wait."

Ye Tianqing bowed down and replied, looking at Gong Qingtian worriedly.

Gong Qingtian smiled: "Qingbi, I can't die yet, and now I can't die, can I?" ”

"The Emperor's ......"

The room was silent, only Gong Qingtian's heavy wheezing echoed in the room, Xuanyuan Yan silently transmitted the internal force into it, looking at Gong Qingtian's old age, his dark eyes, and pity was born from the bottom of his heart.

The old man in front of him used to be dominant, but now he is just a candle in the wind, if it is not for the daily maintenance of medicine and internal strength, he will immediately choke. The hatred in his heart has faded a lot in the boat, and now that he sees Gong Qingtian's appearance, there is not much hatred.

Gong Qingtian was silent for a moment, gasping for a moment and calming down for a while, Xuanyuan Yan and Xuanyuan Yan had been kneeling in front of the bamboo couch. Xuanyuan Yan lowered his head and said nothing, Xuanyuan Yan lowered his head slightly, staring at the old and skinny palm in his hand, holding it in the palm of his hand, a little awkward.

The thin ones can see every vessel, the cyan blood vessels bulge out, bulging out of the palm, and the skin is dull.

The lines on his face were as deep and clear as a knife carving, and the towering cheekbones made Gong Qingtian's face have a cold and ruthless taste, which made Xuanyuan Yan can't help but feel endless awe and pity from the bottom of his heart.

After many years of accumulation, it was also at the last Taimiao sacrifice that he saw his father once not far away. It's been a long time, and even the impression has blurred. At that time, Gong Qingtian was not so weak, and he could still walk to the Taimiao Temple to worship.

I don't want to, I haven't seen him for more than half a year, and my father has weakened to such a point.

There was silence in the room, Ye Ruoxi retreated to a corner and was silent, the women of the Tanglin Kingdom were not allowed to interfere in politics, and she had no interest in these battles for the government and the royal throne. Knowing the conversation between several men, as well as the grievances between the emperor's father and son, it was best for her to stay away.

But now she can't dodge, and she is determined by Gong Qingtian to be the future queen of the Tanglin Kingdom, these things, she must know, and the clearer she knows, the better.

The atmosphere of the room was heavy and depressing, and the cold wind of late autumn blew in from the window lattice, Ye Tianqing turned around and quietly walked to the window lattice, closing the window lattice.

"Jinwen, I haven't seen him for a long time, and in the past twenty years, I have become more and more estranged from my father. I know it, and I hate it in my heart. ”

"Father's words, you are the father of the son, and the son of the son is the son of the father, how dare you resent the father."

Gong Qingtian held Xuanyuan Yan's hand tightly: "Jinwen, to be an emperor you must have the heart of an emperor, and that heart is not something that ordinary people can do, they can have." , already has the heart of the emperor, all it takes is time, and there is still training. ”

"Yes, thank you for your teachings."

"I've been

There is not much time, but to seize these times and take control. The brothers, who have coveted the throne for a long time, and the courtiers also have their own supporters, have been hidden for too long, so that they fade out of everyone's sight. ”

"Father, if it weren't for this, I'm afraid my son wouldn't be alive today."

Xuanyuan Yan's tone was aggravated, and for twenty years, he was the only one who was willing to be in front

The person who sheltered him from the wind and rain was his mother, but after his mother died, the emperor let him go out of the palace to live on his own, and gave him the palace of King Yan. At that time, he was not yet an adult, and he should not have been released from the palace and given another mansion to live in.

The prince of the Tanglin Kingdom could not be released from the palace until he was fourteen years old, and he was no longer allowed to stay in the palace and be given another mansion to live. Or put it in other places, most of them will live in the mansion given by Jian'an City, and they can also enter the palace often, but they are not allowed to stay in the palace overnight.

When Xuanyuan Yan left the palace, he was only twelve years old, and he had to face everything alone, and he had to pretend to be a mentally handicapped fool and let others bully and humiliate.

If it weren't for the fact that he had left many people to protect him, and had already made too many arrangements, he would not have survived to this day anyway, and he would have already become a victim of the throne. For the past twenty years, his father, the Emperor, sat on the dragon chair of the Golden Luan Palace, indifferently watching everything happen in front of his eyes, but never helping him.

At that time, if Gong Qingtian reached out, even if it was a word, he could shield him from many dangers and wind and rain, but no, not a word.

The hatred in his heart has accumulated in his heart after he has fallen into the water, and after the death of his mother, the resentment in his heart has reached the extreme. This hatred made him unwilling to see his father, and even when he entered the palace, he used his retarded mind to shirk it.

Gong Qingtian sighed, not wanting to explain anything, and didn't have the energy to explain more.

Everything in the past, only he and Ye Tianqing know best, he is already in the age of the sixtieth year, and Xuanyuan Yan is his eldest son. Behind all this, there is too much cruelty and blood, none of the princes before Xuanyuan Yan can survive, and he can only watch it happen.

Xuanyuan Yan, he is not too cruel to him, to compete for the throne, that is the test that Xuanyuan Yan must go through.

The result of this kind of test is usually only two, the winner is king, and the loser has only one way to die!

"Jinwen, that position belongs to, do you want it?"

Xuanyuan Yan held Gong Qingtian's hand tightly, the strength was a little strong, and he smiled.

Want it?

For twenty years, everything he has done is to sit in that position, otherwise there is only a dead end in front of him.

Even if it is a mentally handicapped fool prince, once the prince of the Tanglin Kingdom, if the person sitting on the dragon chair is someone else, it is his other royal disciples who ascend the throne, and the first one to be killed and eliminated must be him.

"Father, since you have left your son for twenty years, how can your son live up to his father's hard work. Please rest assured that the position must belong to the son! ”

Xuanyuan Yan's tone was full of domineering ambition, his eyes were cold, he didn't allow anyone to stand in front of him, prevent him from sitting in that position.

"Good, good!"

Gong Qingtian nodded with satisfaction and sat up a little, Xuanyuan hurriedly supported Gong Qingtian, so that Gong Qingtian's body could sit up

Come on.

Gong Qingtian put Xuanyuan Yan's hand in Xuanyuan Yan's hand: "Brothers are of the same heart, their profits are gold, the old ten, try your best to assist the eldest brother, he will not be bad." ”

"It's my father, please rest assured, my son has already sworn allegiance to the eldest emperor, and he will definitely do his best to serve the eldest emperor."

Xuanyuan Zhi said "service", expressing his absolute loyalty and heart to Gong Qingtian and Xuanyuan Yan.

Xuanyuan Yan shook Xuanyuan Zhi's hand: "Tenth brother, the eldest brother will not forget what he said today, and the things that the eldest brother promised will definitely be done." ”

"Brother Emperor, Brother Chen has nothing else to ask for, I just hope that Brother Emperor can ascend the throne smoothly and the government and the opposition will be stable. It's just that the eldest brother has been in obscurity for many years, and the younger brother is worried that if the eldest brother suddenly ascends the throne, it will cause chaos. ”

Xuanyuan Yan was silent, he didn't have this kind of worry, and he didn't know if Gong Qingtian had other arrangements, he wanted to ask clearly, but when he saw Gong Qingtian's appearance now, he couldn't bear to ask again.

Gong Qingtian's situation is to talk to them a few more words, and it is also up to them to use internal force to maintain and drugs to stimulate the potential in his body, otherwise he will not have the spirit to discuss this matter with them.

"Father, the son knows what to do, please rest in peace with my father."

Xuanyuan Yan finally swallowed the words on his lips, he couldn't bear to let Gong Qingtian bother anymore, the father in front of him was an old man who was about to run out of oil, and he couldn't and couldn't bear it if he had the blood of father and son who was close to him.

Gong Qingtian nodded: "If you can say that, it's not in vain to have a fight with my father and son, I'm tired." ”

"Please rest in peace with my father, don't bother anymore."

Gong Qingtian rested for a moment before pulling out his hand from Xuanyuan Yan's hand: "Jinwen, this is the first time in twenty years that I have been filial in front of me. ”

"The father forgives the sin, the son is not filial, and he has not been filial in front of the father for 20 years, so he bowed down and asked his father for his guilt."

Xuanyuan Yan bowed his head heavily and kowtowed a few times on the ground, as a son, he was so unfilial, he was really unreasonable in front of Gong Qingtian. The Tanglin Kingdom attaches great importance to filial piety, and those who are disobedient and unfilial will be despised and ridiculed by everyone, and it will be difficult to gain a foothold.

"It's a pity that the opportunity to be filial in front of me is only this time tonight, Jinwen, I don't blame."

"Father, please calm your anger, it's all unfilial piety, please punish your father."

Xuanyuan Yan prostrate in front of the bamboo couch, and the throne was close at hand, but all this was given by his father. If this father doesn't want to give him the throne, he only needs one sentence to make his years of planning and arrangement, and his hard work come to naught.

knows this truth very well, and also understands that it is because of Gong Qingtian that Ye Tianqing will express his allegiance to him. If it weren't for that, that throne would have fallen on the body of His Highness Xuanyuan Xian.

"Jinwen, don't live up to my expectations, there are some things that you will naturally understand in the future."

"Yes, thank you, Father

The emperor's teachings are that the sons and daughters have failed their father's longen, and they are ashamed. ”

Although Xuanyuan Yan said this, the hatred for Gong Qingtian in his heart was not completely eliminated. Even if Gong Qingtian had left him the position of Prince for twenty years, he knew that if it weren't for his performance that satisfied Gong Qingtian, that position would have changed hands long ago.

"Wakei ......"

Ye Ruoxi hurriedly came over and knelt in front of the bamboo couch: "Father, the son is here." ”

"The husband who is helping me is very close to me, and I will hand over this huge palace and Jinwen."

"Yes, please rest assured that my son will definitely assist Jinwen and let him ascend the throne as emperor, and he will definitely govern the Tanglin Kingdom well, so that the government and the opposition will be stable and more prosperous."

Gong Qingtian straightened his body, even now, on this last night of supporting himself, he had to straighten his back, explain the future with a downward gaze, and arrange everything.

Xuanyuan Zhi helped Gong Qingtian to sit down, Gong Qingtian pushed away Xuanyuan's hand, and sat down firmly on the bamboo couch, exuding a threatening imperial aura all over his body, and his back was straight.

"The emperor ......, the father ......"

Everyone knelt on the ground and bowed to Gong Qingtian.

"Qingbi, come here."

Ye Tianqing knelt forward two steps, and when he arrived in front of Gong Qingtian, Gong Qingtian bent down and helped Ye Tianqing up with his own hands.

"Jinwen, bow to your father-in-law."

"Your Majesty, the ministers can't afford it."

"Qingbi, do you want to go against my will? Come here, sit here, Jin Wen is son-in-law, his great gift, can afford it. ”

Xuanyuan Yan got up and turned to Ye Tianqing to kneel down: "Little son-in-law, knock on your father-in-law." ”

"Prince, please get up, please get up, the old minister deserves death."

"Qingbi, sit down, Jinwen, father-in-law, the right minister of Tanglin Kingdom, kowtow three times."

"Yes, my son obeys."

Xuanyuan Yan respectfully kowtowed to Ye Tianqing three times, Ye Tianqing did not dare to disobey Gong Qingtian's orders, sat on the bamboo chair by the bamboo couch uneasily, and received Xuanyuan Yan's three bows.

"Qingbi, I don't have the energy to take care of the future, so I'll leave it all over. Qingbi, how long do you want to delay arrange? ”
