Chapter I

Rong Qian is sure that in his long and boundless life, he will never forget that day, that moment.

"Rong Qian ......"

"Wechen is here!" Rong Qian knelt in front of the dragon bed, looking at the emperor who single-handedly promoted his younger self to the position of first assistant, but now he was dying and destined to die young, and unexpectedly felt a trace of pity in his heart.

"Aiqing, I know that my time is running out......"

There was a sound of "The emperor is blessed with good fortune", but Rong Qian didn't say anything, just looked at the last bit of concern in the emperor's gloomy eyes with calm and resolute eyes.

"I am now entrusting the crown prince to you, Rin'er is still young, and I hope Aiqing will support you more......"

While speaking, a female official had already hugged the infant prince Yan Rin to Rong Qian. Rong Qian carefully took the pink-carved baby, saw his wrinkled little face, and was about to change his position to let him lie down more steadily, but when he saw Yan Rin in his arms suddenly blooming a very cute smile towards him, he couldn't help but feel a burst of warmth in his heart.

Rong Qian smiled lightly in his heart.

Why have you experienced so many lifetimes of betrayal, but you can still tolerate all this with a smile and wait for the next betrayal to happen?

A faint but calm voice sounded in my heart:

Because, I'm Rong Qian.

But he couldn't think too much about it at the moment. Hugging Yan Rin in his arms, Rong Qian raised his eyes to look at the pleased smile on the emperor's lips, and said word by word: "The minister will live up to His Majesty's trust." ”

Yes, it's a promise, it's my humble promise.

For this promise, he is falling apart day by day, the sea is crossing, the flag is everywhere, the sword and axe are added, and I will never be disappointed.

Even the sword and axe that are added to me are in your hands.

"The emperor has died!"

There was a cry all around him. However, Rong Qian didn't move, just sighed lightly and looked down at the still smiling child in his arms.

Rin, my child, my emperor, I don't expect you to understand my hard work and spare my life after you take power one day. I only hope that you can become an adult, become a generation of Ming Jun in the future, Ze will be remembered by all the people, and your name will go down in history, and it will not be in vain that I will cut all the thorns for you, pave the way for you, work hard for you, and ...... for you Martyrdom in retribution.

Rin, can you do it?

The emperor of Dayan is just a little baby who can't speak, can't walk, and can only babble in Rong Qian's arms at this time.

The first emperor died, the new monarch was young, there were strong tigers outside, and there were kings fighting secretly, and the Yan State at this time had fallen into the biggest crisis since Emperor Taizu dragged down the national strength with all his might.

In such a stormy situation, I don't know how many people covet Dayan's throne in the open and in the dark, and in the inner court of the palace, there are also treacherous clouds, and there are few people who are absolutely loyal to the new monarch, and Yan Rin's safety is really no one can guarantee. At this time, as a minister of Tuogu, Rong Qianli, who was the head of the court, overrode public opinion, stayed in the palace at night, ate and slept with the young king, and protected himself, but also blocked many ill-intentioned ghosts.

It's a pity that the ignorant little emperor doesn't know how to understand Rong Qian's painstaking efforts. Yan Rin, this child, is a night owl who goes out at a young age, sleeps groggily during the day every day, but after the sun goes down, he becomes a hundred times more energetic, pestering Rong Qian to make trouble, until he is tired of playing, he lies on Rong Qian's warm and thick chest and sleeps peacefully, but at this time it is often four watches away.

Poor Rong Qian is responsible for the rise and fall of a country, every day since dawn to get up to review the national government affairs, and also have to divide his mind to deal with the feudal towns and imperial relatives who are about to move everywhere, although he is a genius, he often has to be busy until dinner time to get out of the complicated state affairs, and he has no time to take a breath, and he has to accompany Yan Rin who woke up to mess around, and it will take a few hours to coax him to sleep, so that he can collapse on the dragon bed and sleep peacefully. At the end of the day, Dayan's generation of ministers often slept less than two hours, and their eyes were bloodshot when discussing politics every day, and over time, even a few old ministers who were not used to him had to be impressed.

It's just that the former emperor's attendants beside Yan Rin looked at Rong Qian's haggard face day after day, but they were anxious. The princes and princes who were the most trusted by the first emperor even knelt down three or four times and begged Rong Qian to take care of state affairs, take care of his body, rest more, and rest assured that the little emperor would be handed over to him to take care of.

But Rong Qian just smiled faintly every time and said, "It's okay." Rest assured, Rong Qian is not an incompetent person, and he can still survive such hardships. ”

Then he lowered his head, looked at Yan Rin, who was sleeping soundly in his arms, and smiled warmly.

He could naturally trust the loyalty of the prince, but ...... In such a situation, how can he rest assured that this child's life is only entrusted to the loyalty of one or two people.

Not to mention......

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone didn't look at it, he quickly stretched out his hand and gently pinched it on Yan Rin's cute little face.

Others are okay, if it's for this child, what's the point of sleeping a few hours less?

In this way, Rong Qian still handles state affairs every day with Yan Rin, who is sleeping peacefully, and at night he is busy with the naughty baby like a father with a headache, and then seizes the last gap of the day and falls asleep.

However, even when he was tired and sleepy, he always had a warm smile on his lips; In my dreams every night, there is a handsome man, holding a young baby, humming the most beautiful nursery rhymes one by one.

One sleepless night after another, he watched Yan Rin grow up little by little.

When Yan Rin learned to speak for the first time, she was not called "Dad", not "Mother", but a vague but crisp "appearance";

The first time Yan Rin learned to walk, it was Rong Qian who was forced by him to be anxious, and when he threw him on the bed and ignored him, he clumsily used his feet to find the most familiar embrace;

When Yan Rin was weaned on the first day, it was Rong Qian who personally fed the first mouthful of rice soup into his mouth;

……

When Yan Rin called him "Rong Xiang" again and again, Rong Qian was in a trance for a moment, thinking that the child who grew up in his arms was calling him "Daddy" one by one.

However, he still just picked up Yan Rin and responded softly one after another: "Your Majesty, the minister is here." ”

Yan Rin is a king, he is a minister, and any delusion is a big rebellion. What can he do in the face of such a cold reality?

However, he just smiled, hid the faint gloom in his heart, and then continued to take care of the child who did not understand the difference between kings and ministers, and did not understand the power tilt.

The whitewashed baby has now grown into a whitewashed child, with a seemingly never-ending energy, and as soon as he sleeps and eats enough, he runs around the palace. It's just that once he ran so much that he could barely find Rong Qian, and after he was caught back, he was glared at by Rong Qian very unhappily, so he didn't dare to walk around anymore.

However, Rong Qian still couldn't rest assured, so he caught Yan Rin in front of the case every day as soon as he was free, or hugged him outside the palace, taught him to write hand-in-hand, taught him to draw hand-in-hand, taught him to hold a bow hand-in-hand, took him to see the folk situation, and taught him the truth of reading and being a man...... In short, just don't let him be idle.

In front of Rong Qian, Yan Rin has always been a well-behaved and obedient child, from then on, even if Rong Qian is busy with state affairs and can't manage him, he will consciously sit in front of his small bookcase, raise his small hand and grasp the brush slightly awkwardly, and smear the pattern he called "words" on the paper very seriously.

Although the result every time is either to paint the rice paper into pitch black, or to paint himself into a big flower face, although every time Rong Qian will be angry and funny to put down the music and pull him to wash his hands and face, Yan Rin is still very attentive and focused on doing everything that his Rong Xiang taught him again and again.

It wasn't until he wrote his name for the first time, drew a decent picture for the first time, wrote the window lesson arranged by the Taifu for the first time, and pulled out a small wooden bow for the first time with his own hands that Rong Qian was shocked to realize that his child, his emperor, was already so smart and diligent.

It's not that I'm not ecstatic, it's not that I don't want to throw him up again and again, and then kiss the kid the face, telling him how proud he is of him.

However, he could only let all the joy and pride precipitate in his heart, and let thousands of words converge into an old saying that has been said countless times: "The emperor's talent is really the luck of Dayan and the blessing of all the people." ”

watched Yan Rin happily raise his thin eyebrows because of his praise, and then, unexpectedly, saw a trace of gloom flashing in his eyes.

I can't help but feel a pain in my heart.

That poor child who has no father and no mother may also yearn for someone to take care of him without reservation and without scruples like his father.

But who can give even what he can't give?

But he could only sigh softly in his heart, and then pour more warmth and love into that child.

************

Chapter II

Like all three or four-year-old children, Yan Rin grew up so fast at this time that Rong Qian almost felt that if he didn't see him for three days, it was very likely that no one would come out of this child. It's just that no matter how long it is, there are two things that will never change, that is, his cute little face and his attachment to Rong Qian.

Rong Qian naturally felt in private that having such a little beautiful man by his side all day long was something worth showing off. However, as a trusted minister, he also had to admit that the future king of Dayan should not rely too much on a powerful minister.

However, before he could think about how to deal with the problem, the parting had already quietly come.

Just as he received the recital about the last vassal king being cut down, he suddenly realized that he had no longer any reason to stay in the inner court, to stay with that child.

There are many female dependents in the palace, and the ministers should not enter the inner court, let alone stay in the palace for many years. In recent years, even under the banner of protecting the little emperor, there have been constant criticisms in the government and the opposition, and there are many unbearable rumors on the side of political enemies. But he already had the capacity to accommodate people, and it was for Yan Rin, so he endured it silently.

However, over the years, he has used thunderous means to eliminate the hidden dangers of the Yan Kingdom, and now with the last cut of the domain, the territory of the Yan Kingdom has returned to the heart of the four seas, and it is too peaceful and happy, and even the big and small people inside and outside the palace have been replaced by people who can be trusted. Yan Rin's safety no longer needs to be personally guaranteed by the head of the court, and if he stays in the palace, he will probably have to be called a rebel.

With an irresistible melancholy and nostalgia in his heart, Rong Qian sighed lightly, and a silent wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

What a contradiction. Didn't you always want to sweep the Yan Realm earlier, so that you could move out of the palace earlier, so that you no longer had to worry about the safety of a certain child day and night, no longer have to support your tired body to coax a certain child to sleep, and no longer have to listen to the nagging repeated countless times by some old ministers every day? Why did you really want to leave at this moment, but instead began to complain that you were moving too fast?

I still can't let go of that child.

Rong Qian turned his head and looked at Yan Rin, who didn't know anything and was still sitting seriously in front of the bookcase practicing calligraphy, and couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart for a while.

Yan Rin just raised his head at this time, and said in a milky voice: "Rong Xiang, come and read my words!" ”

Rong Qian walked over in a trance, and even forgot the difference between "me" and "me", just hugged Yan Rin gently with his left hand, and said softly: "The emperor's words have grown a lot, but the word 'leave' is still written with some charm." As he spoke, his right hand had already grasped his little hand, and he slowly wrote down the word "leave" one stroke at a time.

There was a sour feeling that I couldn't suppress:

He is still like this, and he teaches the child who has never left him and does not know what parting is, how to accept all this in front of him?

"When will Rongxiang come back?"

Looking at the misty sadness in the eyes of the child who had never known what sorrow was, Rong Qian suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of guilt in his heart. He smiled reluctantly and replied paradoxically: "When Your Majesty grows up, you should be a bit of an emperor, and you can't stay with your ministers all day long." ”

Yan Rin's face was confused and confused: "Appearance, I don't understand ......"

"Why did Your Majesty forget it again?" Rong Qian sighed lightly: "The minister has said many times that you have to say 'I', not 'I'." ”

"Rong Xiang didn't say 'I', why do you have to say it?" Yan Rin asked the question that had been hidden in her heart for a long time with a puzzled expression.

"Your Majesty!" Rong Qian's face sank, and he said in a rare serious tone: "The emperor is the king, and Rong Qian is the minister, how can they be compared and mess up the discipline?" ”

Seeing that Yan Rin frowned aggrievedly and wanted to say something, Rong Qian said in a soft tone: "The emperor insists on this, and the ministers can't, so let those old ministers in the court say that Rong Qian is bullying the master, and it is better to have no king." ”

"I ...... I know ......" Yan Rin heard this, and sure enough, he no longer insisted, and after a little hesitation, he changed his name, just pouted, and seemed to be very reluctant to be separated from the relationship between himself and Rong Xiang by the word "I": "Rong Xiang hasn't told me why I want to go." ”

With experience, Rong Qian pretended to be sad without blinking his eyes this time: "The ministers don't have to go, but in the future, the courtiers will investigate and say ......."

"Rong Xiang, let's go," Rong Qian hadn't finished speaking, Yan Rin had already spoken very sensibly: "I won't let them say a bad word about you." ”

Rong Qian looked at the little child quietly, seeing him bite his lip tightly and not let himself say a word of retention, he couldn't help but be moved and apologetic.

It will always be like this, this child can ignore all the big truths, but he will never disobey his appearance, and he will not let his appearance suffer the slightest grievance because of himself.

He turned around, forcibly suppressed the softness that was quietly flooding in his heart, and said in the calmest voice: "Your Majesty, the minister has retired." ”

Walking out of the Jinluan Hall step by step, there was only silence behind him.

There was no retention, no pestering, not even asking him when he would come back to see him.

This kid is always sensible and makes him feel distressed.

Walking down the last step, Rong Qian finally turned around, looked at Yan Rin's suddenly lit eyes, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the minister promised you that he would come in to see you every day after entering the palace to discuss politics, okay?" ”

After moving out of the palace, the days were as busy as usual, if there was anything different, it was that without the little child in his arms, Rong Qian suddenly felt that he could not sleep with peace of mind as before.

After entering the court every day, he still returned to the inner court to accompany Yan Rin. It's just that after all, the discipline of the monarch and the ministers is still there, and Rong Qian can't stay in the palace all day and all night. Every time I leave, I see the loneliness that is deliberately hidden in the child's eyes but still revealed, and the pity in my heart is always irrepressible.

It was so cold in this deep palace, and how could he warm the child's small body.

It's just that although you can't be with each other day and night, if you don't let Yan Rin be idle and bored, you can still do it. Although Yan Rin is still young, he is talented and diligent and studious, it is a good time to study, not to mention that the future Great Yan Monarch wants to look at the world, and it is always good to start early at this time. Rong Qian thought carefully for a few days, picked and chose among the famous Confucians in the country, and put down his identity to invite him personally, so overnight, the Taifu of Yan Kingdom changed from one to eight. The little emperor was busy with classes every day, so he didn't have time to sit on the dragon bed and look forward to his appearance sullenly.

Although her motives were questionable, Yan Rin was surprisingly studious, and she put all her mind on the homework taught by the masters. It is really not easy for a child who has not yet recognized a word, but as long as Yan Rin does not understand the slightest, he will pestering the Taifu to ask endless questions, ensuring that every time he takes the test, he can be a serious "Zhihu also"; The Taifu expects Jun Cheng Chan, and the window classes arranged are often a little difficult for strong people, but Yan Rin not only does it seriously every time, but also asks for 100 words from the Taifu, he will write 200 words, and he is sure that when he looks at the appearance, he can see the happy comments of the Taifu in every window class.

Every day when Rong Qian entered the palace to see Yan Rin, he would see the child running over with a red face with excitement, holding a stack of yesterday's window lessons in his hand for him to look at. Seeing the child he brought up with one hand becoming more and more intelligent and sensible, he was also indescribably relieved and proud in his heart. Words of praise are indispensable, but through a layer of relationship between monarchs and ministers, Rong Qian can only coax children again, and he can only say those two clichés over and over again. However, looking at Yan Rin's cute appearance with a happy smile no matter what he said, he was no longer reluctant to be stingy with those few poor good words.

The days passed day by day, and Yan Rin's knowledge improved little by little. A few years later, the nine-year-old Yan Rin talked about the sages and sages, and when it came to Lao Zhuang's learning, he could also easily come to him, and even the strategies and tricks of the Legalists and soldiers had been slightly understood, and there was already the atmosphere of a young Mingjun.

The friendship between Rong Qian and Yan Rin was rumored to be a beautiful talk for a while, and Yan Rin also thought that he would slowly grow into a generation of Ming Jun in Rong Qian's praise, and then govern this great river and mountain with his appearance.

Until that day.

******************

Chapter III

It was just an ordinary day. If there is anything unusual, that is, Yan Rin pestered the prince, and he took him out of the palace and went to the prime minister's mansion to find Rong Xiang.

It's no wonder that Yan Rin is willful. These days, the locust plague in Youzhou is very fierce, and there is a severe drought in the whole territory of the partial Yan country this year, and the grain in all the prefectures and cities is stretched, and there is almost no place to adjust the grain. Rong Qian was very busy in the household department for this matter, and he was finally busy today, but counting the days, he hadn't seen Yan Rin for three days. Yan Rin didn't even have a person to talk to in the palace, and she was really lonely after doing the window class every day, and she finally couldn't stay up this day, so she ran out.

That day, as soon as Rong Qian returned home, he saw that among the hundred flowers, the small bright yellow figure was painting one stroke at a time, so that Rong Xiang could see his improved painting skills with his own eyes.

On that day, Rong Qian looked at Yan Rin with a half headache and half a move, watching him lift the sedan curtain of the sedan chair that was not decently big, and asked the guards to take out half of the tribute in the palace and pile it up in his prime minister's mansion.

On that day, Rong Qian held the awkward child who was uncomfortable in the chair in his arms, watched him hand the window lesson of the past three days to his eyes as if he were offering a treasure, and then praised our emperor for his intelligence and ability while smiling.

Then Rong Qian suddenly rushed out of the room as fast as lightning, welcomed a man who could even doze off when he walked into the bedroom, and then turned back to Yan Rin and said, "Your Majesty, the hour is not early, let the minister send you back to the palace." ”

Yan Rin only scolded the person who came at an inopportune time, how could he have thought that the person who Rong Qian called "friend" would change his life.

That night, the candle flame in Rong Qian's bedroom was not extinguished all night.

No one knew what the two were talking about in the room, but they saw that the next morning, Rong Qian sent the man named "Ah Han" out with a smile, and when he turned around, there was no smile on his face.

He just locked himself in the study, poured a cup of hot tea, and stared blankly at the light smoke on the cup from more to less, from there to nothing.

It turned out that the betrayal of Sansheng, the abandonment of Sansheng, looking at the children who grew up under his wings again and again, pushing himself into a dead end with a cold face, is not sad, nor can he not be sad.

Smiling again and again and saying that it doesn't matter, reflecting on his mistakes again and again, and pretending to forgive generously again and again, it turns out that he just wants to put a fig leaf on that bloody heart, so that others will not see it, and he will not let himself see it.

It was only when the last cover had been pierced by a needle, and all the scars had been uncovered by one hand, and the pain that had been precipitated for hundreds of years was still swept in like a tide, drowning him, that he was shocked to realize that the wounds had not only not healed more than half a point, but had rotted deeper and deeper.

It's just that...... Han, why do you have to break it? You have been ignorant for so many years, why are you more sober than everyone else at this moment?

Rong Qian stood up excitedly and inadvertently brought the tea on the table. only heard the sound of "clang", and the tea cup fell to the ground and suddenly turned into powder.

The sound of the porcelain shattering made him calm down immediately.

Rong Qian, let's face it, you can't afford to be weak, and you can't afford to be willful.

Maybe no one really cares how many times you have been betrayed and hurt, but you really don't have the right to let that child leave a lasting infamy like the previous three lives.

Thinking of Yan Rin, a heavy pain came like a huge wave.

The child's warmth seems to be still lingering in his arms, and the child's smile seems to be still reflected in front of him, but one day, whether that warmth will also turn into a cold killing machine, and whether that smile will also become a hideous face.

If you are destined to be betrayed and destroyed, then simply let me direct this betrayal and promote this destruction with my own hands!

He let out a long sigh and sat down slowly in his chair, a vague sadness in his pensive eyes.

It's time to wake up from this big dream.

It's long overdue. That child will be the Ming Jun of Yan Kingdom, and he is the person who wants to look at Liuhe and the world, how can he always rely on him as the biggest stumbling block when he was in power.

What's more, if you don't experience a storm, how can a chick grow into an eagle fighting in the sky. Today, he has more than enough to keep and not enough to enter. In this troubled world, if this child wants to dominate the side, what he needs is not love, not protection, but a pressure and a fierce enemy.

And this pressure, this fierce enemy, can only be yourself.

Rong Qian stood up, pushed the door out of the room, and raised his eyes to look at Lang Lang Changsky.

Rin, maybe you'll never understand my hard work, maybe you'll resent me and hate me for the rest of your life, but I just ask you not to let me down, don't let me down, don't live up to my hard work.

Rin, can you do it?

********************

Chapter IV

For half a year, Yan Rin's face always had a deep sense of loss written on her face.

Even if Shi Jingyuan, the prince of Beijing, came to read with him before driving, he was no longer lonely in the palace, but the deepest part of Yan Rin's heart, the kind of loneliness that even he didn't understand, was just like the layers of ice and snow in the harsh winter, getting deeper and colder.

Because he could feel that his appearance was moving away step by step, the child he had cared for with all his heart.

Rong Xiang didn't do anything, he just changed from a daily visit to once every other day, once every three days, once every five or six days, and finally he couldn't come once for ten days and a half months like now; It's just that the eyes that always looked at him with tolerance and gentleness in the past gradually became cold, gradually became perfunctory, and finally to the present without care, and even lacked the patience to stay on him for a little longer; It's just that from the past, I carefully checked his window class with a relieved and proud face, and became more and more dismissive, more and more sloppy, and finally now I just flipped through it casually, without commenting or saying a word.

Knowing that he had to enter the palace every day to discuss politics, and knowing that he had to go to the study every day to review the chapters, he still restrained himself again and again, telling himself again and again: Rong Xiang is very busy, and Rong Xiang doesn't want to disturb him. Until I finally couldn't stand the taste of longing, I put down the emperor's dignity and went to look for him, but what I got was always just an absent-minded sentence of "heavy state affairs". He wanted to share government affairs with his Rongrong, but the answer was always just a lukewarm eviction order: "Not everyone can afford to take on major national affairs, so the emperor should play." ”

Rong Xiang didn't even bother to look up, so he couldn't even look at it once.

He thought that it was because he was not smart enough and not diligent enough, so he began to take three shifts and five watches, completely ignoring his body to learn the Wen Tao martial arts strategies taught by the masters. But no matter how hard he worked and how enterprising, and how many people were sincerely amazed, his appearance still refused to face him and pay attention to him, but he was getting more and more anxious, going farther and farther, so anxious that he was powerless, so far that he was desperate.

Rongxiang, do you know that I work so hard and work so hard not to catch up with you and surpass you, but just to stop and face up to you, don't give up on me, don't abandon me.

But why are you so stingy that you refuse to grant me even this little wish?

Yan Rin's heart was as cold as snow, but it was a pity that there were still people who wanted to make it worse.

As if it was an appointment, the trusted neighbors around him all began to accuse Rong Xiang in unison, saying that he had no king, that he was arbitrary and arbitrary, even Duan Taifu, who had always admired Rong Xiang, and Wang Gonggong, who had always praised Rong Xiang, were no exception, and they were the most ruthless and shocking.

Yan Rin was very painful and confused. He couldn't understand why the world around him had become so strange. He asked the prince why, and the prince thought for a long time, and the deep pain appeared in his eyes, and finally said bitterly:

"Your Majesty, the Son of Heaven has no selfish affairs, no selfish feelings, and I hope that the emperor will give priority to state affairs."

That sentence echoed in Yan Rin's ears for a day.

That night, he asked the prince to take him to the prime minister's mansion. To his surprise, the prince just had a hint of strangeness in his eyes, and he agreed without saying anything.

He only brought one prince, and there was no half of the guards around him, but the journey was surprisingly smooth, and he didn't meet half a nosy person in the prime minister's mansion, and even the guards in front of the door couldn't see it.

It's just that when he arrived in front of Rongxiang's study, the prince suddenly disappeared.

Yan Rin didn't think too much about it, just looked at the figure of Rong Xiang reflected on the window paper stupidly.

There seemed to be another figure in the room, but he didn't care who it was. He only cared about his appearance, the man who had protected him, raised him, taught him, encouraged him, the man who had unconsciously filled his life.

There was a sound of staggering in the room, and there was a faint sound of laughter. Yan Rin wanted to hear it more clearly, so he took a few steps closer, but unexpectedly heard a sentence that he could never forget in his life:

"Yan Rin is just a yellow-mouthed child, what am I afraid of Rong Qian!"

Yan Rin staggered back a few steps when she heard the words, and before she could stand firmly, she heard Rong Qian say in the room:

"Besides...... If I'm not happy, whether the surname Yan or the surname Rong is in this world, I'm afraid it's still unknown! ”

Hearing the sound of the child stumbling away outside the window, Rong Qian couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

After taking this step, I'm afraid there will be no turning back.

He turned his head and looked at General Zuo Chun Yuji, who was smiling and agreeing, and couldn't help but smile coldly in his heart.

Let this kind of person lead the left army, the first emperor was too imprudent, and he himself was blind.

Such an unfaithful and unrighteous person shall no longer remain with him. His younger brother Chun Yuhua has a resolute temperament, but he can be of great use, so let him take the position of General Zuo.

He got up with a smile and poured a glass of wine for Chun Yu with his own hands: "Such a good night, General Chun Yu, please drink this cup again." ”

With that, he had raised his glass and drank it all.

It is clearly a good wine, but why does it enter the throat at this moment, but it seems to be more bitter than Coptis chinensis, and more hurtful than wine.

With a pen flying in his hand, Rong Qian wrote a point-to-point instruction on each movement, but he was absent-minded.

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

There was a familiar sound of footsteps outside the door of the upper study, Rong Hui's dilated pupils contracted suddenly, and his heart seemed to be clenched violently by an invisible big hand, and he felt out of breath for a while.

He chuckled softly wryly.

Half a year of neglect, isn't it exactly this moment that is being planned, why is it so ruthless that it has come to this point?

Rong Qian pretended to raise his head inadvertently, and when he looked up, he saw Yan Rin with a calm face.

There is no loss, no sorrow, no anger, no murder, there is just a lack of prosperity, but I don't know how much undercurrent and rapids are hidden.

Rong Qian sighed lightly in his heart, and he didn't know whether he was more relieved or more bitter.

His hard work was not in vain. At this moment, he was full of joy and anger, but he finally grew up.

From today on, the naughty Yan Rin in his arms, the Yan Rin who will not want to say "I" because of himself, and the Yan Rin who excitedly holds up the window class and longs for his praise, will never come back.

It's just that...... looked at the bloodshot in his eyes, his dark face, and the shocking white hair on his sideburns......

Is the price of this growth too heavy?

Rong Qian lowered his head, hiding the sadness in his eyes unconsciously, and said lightly: "I don't know that Your Majesty is coming, and the ministers are far away." ”

said the words of pleading, but he still kept giving instructions in his hand, and he didn't look at Yan Rin, Rong Qian's words could be described as insincere, only faint arrogance and indifference.

Listening to Yan Rin's footsteps approaching step by step, although Rong Qian had a sense of impending wind and rain, his hands were still busy as usual, and he was not chaotic at all.

"Appearance!"

Rong Qian, who had been pretending to be indifferent, heard the sound and his right hand trembled violently, staining a large piece of the pen. He involuntarily raised his head and met the eyes that were as clear as ever.

There is no more separation, no more disguise, no more pretense, the face in front of him is sincere and lonely, it is clearly the child he is extremely familiar with, and there is still the shadow of the young monarch there.

In a trance, Rong Qian seemed to have returned to many years ago, looking at the child who couldn't walk and stretched out his arms longingly: "Rongxiang, hug." ”

Until Yan Rin's voice recalled him from his memories:

"Looks, I'm ...... these days Did I do something wrong? ”

With such eager but hesitant eyes, such an aggrieved but panicked tone, the Great Yan Monarch at this time, as if he was just a detached young beast, was heading in the direction of his companions, and wailed weakly and unwillingly one after another.

At that moment, Rong Qian almost gave up all pretenses, gave up all efforts, just wanted to hug the owner of the voice tightly and tell him that he had done nothing wrong, and that it was all his own fault.

As long as he is willing, as long as he says a word, the sadness and loneliness of each other in the past six months will disappear, and everything can go back to the past, back to that time when there was only warmth and joy.

However, he can't.

Using all his mental strength to control his emotions that were about to burst, Rong Qian lowered his head, finished the music in his hand as usual, and then raised his head and said lightly: "The emperor just said...... Forgive the foolishness, what has the emperor done these days? ”

Then, unexpectedly, I saw that the blood on Yan Rin's face disappeared in an instant, leaving only a desperate paleness.

Rong Qian lowered his head, blocking all the pain in his eyelids, but he still said mercilessly: "State affairs are not child's play, if the emperor has nothing important, please go back first." ”

"That being the case, I won't bother with my appearance." Yan Rin smiled lightly, his face had miraculously returned to perfect calm, but there was a faint coldness of dead silence in the depths of his eyes: "The state affairs are heavy, before I take charge of the government, please bear with me." ”

With that, he had turned around and walked out of the upper study quietly, step by step, leaving only a resolute back.

Until Yan Rin's figure completely disappeared in front of him, Rong Qianfang breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly. He wanted to smile, but the muscles on his face were so stiff that he didn't obey him at all; took the teacup and tried to moisten his throat, but his right hand trembled involuntarily, and his sleeves were soaked with the spilled tea; I picked up the pen and wanted to review the chapter on the case, but I couldn't clean up the messy thoughts, and I held the pen for a long time, but it was still just a blank when I folded it.

Throwing down the pen, Rong Qian fell into the chair in despair, and a wry smile broke out in his heart.

This time, there really is no going back.

Should he regret it, or should he rejoice?

Chapter 5

Three days later, Yan Rin proposed to change the yuan in front of the hundred officials, and all the old ministers echoed it, but Rong Qian was noncommittal.

Half a month later, on the first day of the first month of the first month, the Ministry of Rites presided over the ceremony, issued an edict to the world, and changed the Yuan Hongjing.

In the first year of Hongjing, on the third day of the second month, General Zuo Chun Yu and late at night secretly visited the Prime Minister's Mansion, not knowing what to discuss, but seeing Chun Yu and leaving the mansion with a snickering of joy on his face.

In mid-to-late February, Chun Yu and repeatedly used the name of inspection to ask the son of heaven to secretly fold Yan Rin. Yan Rin also has secret edicts from time to time to send to Chun Yu.

On March 14, Chun Yu sneaked into the palace in the middle of the night to face the saint, and was talking to Yan Rin when he was unexpectedly broken by Rong Qian on the spot. In the name of saving the driver, Rong Qian killed Chun Yuji with a palm in front of Yan Rin's eyes. The next day, the incident caused an uproar in the court. The ministers were clearly divided into two factions, one faction reprimanded Rong Qian for being unworthy of the monarch and ignoring the law and discipline, and the other faction said that Chun Yu and ill-intentioned crimes, and the crime could not be punished. The two factions are-for-tat, but Rong Qian stood by and watched, the two sides were equal, it was difficult to distinguish the winner and loser, the matter was finally over, afterwards, Rong Qian promoted Chun Yu and his brother Chun Yu to the left general, and on the grounds of dereliction of duty, removed the post of Zhao Guoming, the president of the imperial guard, and reappointed Feng Changqing, who had been demoted from the general of the three hussars to the general of the six grades of Wuyi for most of the year, to serve in this position.

On the twenty-first day of March, Feng Changqing changed his appearance and changed his appearance, mixed into the caravan and quietly entered Beijing, but after entering Beijing, he did not enter the palace to take up his post, but went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to visit Rong Qian in the name of Rong Qian's deceased. The two talked from the beginning of the shift to dawn, but when they saw Feng Changqing say goodbye, his face was full of tears, and he was carrying a list, all of which were young talents who had become famous in recent years but had not been reused, and were depressed.

On March 24, Feng Changqing officially entered Beijing to take office.

On the twentieth day of April, Feng Changqing and Yan Rin swore blood in the dormitory, and agreed to support state affairs and eliminate traitors.

In mid-May, the Qin army attacked Yan, and Rong Qian personally led a large army to the battle. A few days later, Yan Rin was suddenly assassinated while going to bed, but fortunately Feng Changqing desperately escorted the party to escape. The guards came to the rescue, but the Assassins managed to escape. Yan Rin was furious, and countless guards in the palace were removed from their posts for investigation, and under the auspices of Feng Changqing, the emperor's side of the big and small people have changed their faces, among which there are many talents on the list who hold important positions.

From May to November, the Qin army was defeated one after another. In addition to the Di Bao that was passed to Yan Rin every day, there was also a biography of Feng Changqing's old acquaintances in the army, which explained in detail the daily scheduling, victories, defeats, rewards and punishments in the army.

On October 28, the Qin State withdrew its troops.

On the eighth day of November, Rong Qian ignored the opposition of the generals and led tens of thousands of troops into Beijing to ask for merit. For a while, the flag covered the sky, the sound of hooves shook the ground, the people of the city shrank and did not dare to come out, all the courtiers were willing to force the palace, ran to discuss each other, panicked, and the three armies of the imperial city also stood still, waiting to see the changes. Wei Yanrin was not frightened, and personally went out of the palace to reward the army, praised several generals who had repeatedly performed miraculous feats but were not rewarded, and even put on brocade robes for them, which was a strange talk in the army for a while.

On the ninth night of the first day of November, Feng Changqing took Yan Rin's handwritten edict to secretly visit several generals who were given robes by Yan Rin yesterday and were still stationed outside the city at this time.

That night, there was a strange visitor from the Prime Minister's Mansion, claiming to be from Lin Gongzi's Mansion, and asked Rong Xiang to guide Gongzi's studies in the past six months. Rong Qian stayed awake all night, attached a detailed annotation to each window class, and asked Lin Gongzi about his daily food and lodging and daily life one by one, and sent it out at dawn.

In the spring of the second year of Hongjing, Rong Qian built a lot of construction, repaired the Prime Minister's Mansion, and even put down the government affairs at hand from time to time to supervise the work. The project is huge, so that Hongjing three years since the completion of the palace, the luxury and richness of the prime minister's mansion, almost no less than the palace, after the completion of the prime minister's mansion, Rong Qian sang songs night and night, more and more lazy in state affairs, in the government and the opposition gradually lost the hearts of the people. However, even though he had no mental politics, Rong Qian was still dedicated to the schoolwork of the young man Lin and never slackened.

Since the second year of Hongjing, Yan Rin took the opportunity of Rong Qian's slackness, relying on the power of the old ministers of the court and the king of Beijing, and began to install people in the army of the court, and the talents on the list of Feng Changqing were also listed. In the third year of Hongjing, Xu Zhaolin was promoted to the head of the military department, and since then, the number of Yan Rin's cronies in the army has increased day by day, and several generals who received robes from Yan Rin have also been steadily promoted.

In October of the fourth year of Hongjing, Dai Guobing committed Yanjing, but Rong Qian still ignored it. And Yan Rin took the opportunity of wartime personnel scheduling to tighten his control over the military department and the army. On the other hand, Yan Rin's cronies have repeatedly made military exploits and gradually climbed to high positions in the army.

On the second day of the twelfth month of December, Rong Qian's birthday, a large banquet was held in the mansion to invite hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China, and he even sent a letter half a month in advance to invite his old army to the banquet. At this time, the war on the front line was tight, and the generals could not even arrange a birthday gift, so they had to write back to apologize. Rong Qian was furious at the birthday banquet for this, and the banquet broke up unhappily.

In March of the fifth year of Hongjing, Dai Guo withdrew his troops. However, on the third day, Rong Qian immediately ordered the generals who were absent from the birthday feast to be reduced to their titles. As soon as this order came out, Rong Qian suddenly lost the morale of the army; And nearly half of the vacancies left by the demotion were obtained by Yan Rin's secret activities.

Beginning in August, Zuo General Chun Yuhua repeatedly took the opportunity of patrolling Beijing to secretly communicate with the emperor's brother Yucheng Wang.

On November 13, Yung Qian went out of the city with his friends during the curfew, and was on the night patrol of Chun Yuhua. Chun Yuhua insisted on blocking it, and Rong Qian whipped him off the horse in anger and drove away.

On November 15, Chun Yuhua was folded in Yan Rin, saying that it was difficult to accept the humiliation of Rong Qian's whip, and he was willing to follow the legacy of his ancestor and lead the left army to join Yan Rin, eliminate the evil spirits, and be loyal to the country.

In the sixth year of Hongjing, in April, after Feng Changqing painfully Chen Li, Yan Rin sincerely invited, and the right general Xu Haoran swore allegiance to the court.

On the fourth day of the ninth lunar month, Chun Yuji, Xu Haoran and Yan Rin and Feng Changqing of Weifu visited Li Chen, the commander of the Chinese army.

In late September, Rong Qian personally wrote a secret letter to the powerful generals in Dingzhou, Weiyuan, Lingcheng and other places.

In November, in order to win over the generals from all over the world, Yan Rin sent Feng Changqing and several of his most trusted Taifu to various places.

On the second day of December in the sixth year of Hongjing, Rong Qian was born at the age of thirty-six.

The drum music is noisy, the sound of joy is everywhere, and the eyes are full of all kinds of precious gifts inlaid with gold and jade. The left minister who leaned towards the government and the opposition wanted to have a birthday, and who dared to slack off in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, almost the entire court officials came to pay their respects, and the sound of birthday celebrations was endless.

When Rong Qian was entertaining guests, a family member suddenly walked out of the side and whispered to Rong Qian: "Xiangye, someone from Lin Gongzi's mansion asks to see you." ”

When Rong Qian heard this, his face changed slightly, but he came back to his senses, turned his head and smiled lightly at the ministers: "Ladies and gentlemen, Qian has been absent for a while. With that, he ignored the flattering looks of the officials in the room, turned around and walked towards the study.

Retreating left and right, Rong Qian closed the door, deliberately ignoring the anxious look on the face of the person in front of him, and only said lightly: "Didn't the Feng commander go out of Beijing, why are you here?" ”

The man's name is Han Bi, he was Feng Changqing's personal soldier in the army, and after Feng Changqing entered Beijing, he was responsible for the secret news exchange between Rong Feng and the two, and he visited Rong Qian in the name of Lin Gongzi's family on weekdays. At this moment, he hurriedly said: "Before the general left Beijing, he specially instructed the small one, saying that the emperor was going to do something to the prime minister, let the little one keep a little more attention, and notify the prime minister if there is anything wrong." ”

Seeing that Rong Qian just nodded absentmindedly, his tone immediately became urgent: "The little one is incompetent, the emperor is going to be unfavorable to the prime minister today, and the little one just received the news, so he rushed to the house non-stop, but I am afraid that it will be too late." I also hope that the prime minister will make plans early, otherwise he will not be able to explain in front of the general. ”

Rong Qian's heart jumped, but his face was still silent: "I know, you can go back." After that, without looking at Han Bi again, he turned around and was about to push the door out.

"Xiangye!"

Hearing Han Bi's obviously suppressed excited voice behind him, Rong Qian turned his head helplessly, his face was already impatient: "What's the matter?" ”

I saw Han Bi kneeling on the ground, kowtowing to Rong Qian three times with a "knock knock", raising his head and saying: "Although the little one is reckless, he also knows that the prime minister is noble, and he does all the things he does on weekdays, but he doesn't even want to leave a good reputation for himself." But Han Bi thinks that he is just an ignorant boy, and he doesn't understand why Xiangye has wronged himself so much. On weekdays, I see Xiang Ye flying and domineering, but in private I go to the emperor and work hard for the emperor, and my small heart is respectful, and I am not worth it, but I have nothing to do, I can only rely on Xiang Ye. It's just that this time his life is at stake, if Xiangye dies, the little one will inevitably become a sinner for the ages, so ...... If Xiang Ye refuses to protect himself, he will stop blaming the little rudeness! ”

Rong Qian smiled lightly: "It's up to you?" ”

"The little self-aware is not the opponent of Xiangye, but at least let it go, and he has a clear conscience whether he wins or loses."

Rong Qian looked at him for a long time, for a long time, and sighed lightly: "Okay, okay, you come over first." ”

Han Bi didn't know why for a while, he stood up and just walked in front of Rong Qian, when he suddenly felt a pain in the back of his head, and he didn't know anything.

Rong Qian slowly withdrew his right hand, opened the door and summoned a subordinate: "Send this gentleman to the Feng Commander's Mansion." ”

After that, he ignored the unknown eyes of the people and went back to the hall.

Listening to the flattery of the hundred officials, he always maintained a perfect and polite smile, but his heart was full of ups and downs.

That child, the child who had exhausted all his hard work and paid all the costs to make him an adult, had finally grown up and become a monarch who could take charge of himself.

Even though he knew that the next betrayal was just around the corner, and knew that his butcher's knife was about to be put on his neck, at this moment, his heart was still unimaginably fearless, without regrets, and there was only indescribable relief and gratitude.

The last gift I was able to give him was finally given.

Rin, your appearance can only accompany you here, and the rest of the way is up to you.

Promise me to be a good emperor and a happy person, okay?

Rong Qian stood up from his seat, with the warmest smile on his mouth, and raised his glass to the hundred officials present:

"Taking the opportunity of today's birthday, may my great Yanguang be ten thousand years, and may my emperor achieve a generation of meritorious deeds and go down in history forever!"

—————————— divider——————————————

"Jingyuan, give me a decree, the guilty minister Rong Qian is a strong and domineering bullying, for the sake of the trouble, the crime cannot be punished, and Ling Chi is specially given to be executed today. I want to see if he can ignore me like this! ”

Shi Jingyuan raised his head in astonishment, but saw that in the depths of Yan Rin's cold and cruel eyes, there was boundless sadness and loneliness.
