Yan Rin put down his pen and looked at the empty palace. At this moment, he didn't have the feelings of sadness and compassion in the past, so he just turned his head and asked Mr. Wang casually: "Where is Jingyuan?" "Back to the emperor, the prince said that he was going to ...... Flower Street went. Yan Rin originally twisted her head twice to relax and prepare to continue writing, but she was shocked by Mr. Wang's words and stopped writing, and any drop of ink rippled on the white paper.

"Flower Street?" He frowned and thought about it, it seemed to be a gathering place for Qinglou? What kind of place do you go to in Jingyuan? Could it be that there is the information needed there? Seeing him frowning, Chief Manager Wang said that he was angry, and hurriedly added: "The prince said that he has got the news that the emperor needs, and he will go over to investigate." ”

"Hmm." Yan Rin changed the paper and began to continue writing on the paper. Manager Wang saw that his master was really amazing, and at such a young age, listening to his closest ministers go to Huajie, he was so calm. In fact, it was not that Yan Rin was calm, it was that he really didn't have a comprehensive understanding of the situation in Huajie, and Rong Qian naturally wouldn't teach him this kind of thing in the past, and besides, he cared more about intelligence than Shi Jingyuan. As long as the intelligence can be obtained, he said that he only needs the result, regardless of the means.

Buried his head, Yan Rin continued to write the article arranged by Taifu. After a while, I saw Shi Jingyuan hurriedly walking in: "Your Majesty! Yan Rin put down the pen in his hand, and with a look, all the subordinates withdrew, and there were two people facing each other in the hall.

"What's wrong?" "Your Majesty, the minister has found the hall master of the Purple Night Palace!" "How's that going?" "It went well. However, there is one matter that the minister needs to ask for the emperor's consent and can still reply. "Say." "The Lord of the Purple Palace asked the Emperor to suppress the forces of the Shura Sect, so that the Purple Hall could quickly gain a foothold in the Yan Kingdom. This is also the purpose of her personal visit to Jingshi this time. ”

Shuraism? Yan Rin couldn't help frowning: "This seems to be what Rong Qian did back then?" He seemed to have the impression that there was such a thing, that Rong Qian had passed the legal status of the Shura Sect in the Yan Kingdom with a very strong attitude. At that time, he was only five or six years old, and he was at an age where he couldn't see the current situation or people clearly, and now, since he knew a lot, how could he let Rong Qian do whatever he wanted?

He smiled coldly: "It's okay, you can reply to her, I give permission." But remember, try it first, don't let it go. "Does the emperor mean to suppress Rong Qian by suppressing the Shura Sect, and to use Rong Qian's attitude to test the ministers?" "Let them not go too far, if they violate my Dayan law, I will not spare it!" "Yes!"

Shi Jingyuan gave a salute and was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Yan Rin: "Jingyuan! Shi Jingyuan turned his head, but saw Yan Rin asking him with a little confusion: "Since the founding of the country, do I really have loyal ministers who have done their best and died?" "Why does the emperor ask that?" Shi Jingyuan was equally confused by his question. Isn't this emperor busy fighting against Rong Qian? Why do you care about loyal ministers now?

Seeing Shi Jingyuan looking at him a little confused, Yan Rin simply waved his hand: "Go, it's okay." "The minister retired." Shi Jingyuan didn't ask much, the top priority was to negotiate with Zixiao Palace, so that the central court could be under their control.

Yan Rin moved his gaze back to his page in a bit of a daze, on which the title given by Taifu was written in black and white: Loyal Minister. What kind of concept is this? In the past, Jingyuan once told him that he should be a great loyal minister, be by his side, plan for him, prepare for him, run for him, put forward good opinions for him, and refute incorrect practices for him. Now Jingyuan is indeed proving his oath with his actions, he is indeed thinking about him, running for him, and working for him, but what is the point of doing this?

Is it to overthrow Rong Qian? But for what is the purpose of overthrowing Rong Qian? Is it for his country, or for his selfishness? It's just because he can't get used to that person's forever calm smile, just because he can't get used to that person's always confident attitude, just because he can't get used to that person's self-confidence that will always control the world, just because he wants him to face him squarely and wants him to pay attention to him.

I can't help but think of the book that records the founding ancestor of this dynasty, Taizu Gongyanli. Yan Li started from recklessness, but won many battles, the reason is that his ancestor had a capable assistant, that is, Lihou Fang Qingchen. He looked at the history books, and looked at the brilliance created by the ancestors and his important ministers at the beginning, and the world that was created, and his heart couldn't help but be excited and sad.

Leaving Hou Fang Qingchen, he knew Yan Taizu Yan Li when he was a child, took in Yan Li, who lost his parents and was lonely, taught him a lot of knowledge, personally sent him to the rebel army, personally collected all the information that was beneficial to him for him, personally created Yan Yu Cavalry and Xuanji Courtyard for him, personally fought for him, laid down a city for him, and even in the end, with his own body, he blocked the poisonous sword that stabbed Yan Li, and died young.

Away from Hou Fang, light dust...... Yan Rin couldn't help but stop the pen and stay in her thoughts. He thought that he could understand the various honors that Taizu gave him after Fang Qingchen's death, just because he knew how painful and desperate a loved one who thought about himself wholeheartedly, planned for himself and even sacrificed for himself would be after leaving him, and he could understand what kind of despair the hero who rose up and walked all over the world later, numbing his pain with exhaustion.

Clenched into fists, he almost gritted his teeth. Rong Qian! I thought you would be the second Fang Qingchen in this dynasty! I always thought that you would be like Fang Hou protecting Taizu, always thinking about me, helping me, assisting me, accompanying me, you gave me an encouraging smile when I was right, and you were able to point out my mistakes bluntly when I was wrong, I always thought that you would always be by my side! But I didn't know that the person closest to me, the person I trusted the most, and the person I loved the most regarded me as a ladder to climb up from the beginning, and regarded me as a discardable chess piece in his chess game. Everything that was done for him, good to him, and even the injuries he suffered, were all carefully planned, all of them were a drama, like the moon in the water, the flowers in the mirror, it turned out to be all illusions!

Once compared, the grievances and grievances in Yan Rin's heart became even more widespread. Gripping the pen tightly, he continued to write on the paper, but said word by word in his heart: "Rong Qian! You wait, that day will come, and the day you regret it will definitely come! That day, I will make you kneel in front of me, crying to admit your mistakes, crying and begging me to forgive you! ”

"Ahh Rong Qian rubbed his nose depressedly, what's wrong, what's wrong, why have you been sneezing all the time lately, who is so bored and always says bad things about him! Then I thought about it, it seems that no one has been trying to curse him except for that awkward little kid recently. Helplessly smiled bitterly, and suddenly thought of Zhang Minxin who said to him with bad intentions just now: "Xiaorong, let me tell you, you don't snub people like this and bully the innocent and kind little boy~~ Otherwise, your child may empathize and don't fall in love, or a person who will be extremely miserable when he falls in love!" ”

If you fall in love, will it end very badly? Who else could such a person be besides Fang Fox? His children and Fang Qingchen can't fight together! So who will it be? Xiao Rong thought of Zhang Minxin's famous "oh hehehe" rotten girl laughter, and couldn't help but drag her chin and think. No matter who it is, if there is a tendency to bring bad children to his family, he must not hesitate to erase them mercilessly!

“…… My lord! A loud cry pulled back his thoughts floating into outer space, and when he came back to his senses, Rong Yin crossed his hands on his hips dissatisfied: "My lord! I've called you three times, why are you so engrossed? "Huh? Did the shade call him three times? Not so fascinating! Looking at Rong Yin's wrinkled dissatisfied little face, he couldn't help but smile: "What's the matter, Yin'er?" ”

He knew that his smiling face was a nirvana against Rong Yin, as long as he laughed, Rong Yin would not care about him about big things. Sure enough, the haze on Rong Yin's face dissipated, and he replied with a smile: "My lord, Zi is back~~" "Oh? Call her in! He just wanted to know what Zi and Shi Jingyuan were talking about.

Zi reported to him for half an hour's work, which was roughly the same as he thought, but Ziti's condition was really harsh enough. He couldn't help but smile and pat Zi's head: "Xiao Zi has really grown up, and he can come up with such a plan to kill two birds with one stone." Seeing Rong Qian praising himself, Rao Shizi also felt full of joy: "I was taught by an adult, but I can't be too embarrassed!" "I just want to tell you that suppressing Shura teaches you to do it yourself, otherwise I won't be able to explain it to my friends." Although Han doesn't mind too much about what he does, his group of tiger-like subordinates probably annoys him, a person who takes laziness as his life principle, and it is better not to let his peaceful life be too embarrassing.

"Yes, sir, don't worry. By the way, I still have a big task to do these days! "Big task?" Rong Qian really couldn't think of that in the current situation, Yan Rin had no power and no military power, and what was more important than spying on him and his ministers, and Zi needed to come out in person. I saw Zi Wei smile charmingly, stood up and sat on Rong Qian's lap, wrapped his arm around his neck, and put his mouth to Rong Qian's ear: "Of course it's '**Rong Xiang' you!" ”

In one sentence, Rong Qian almost sprayed tea: "This is what Shi Jingyuan wants you to do?!" "yes. He said that you have been arrogant and corrupt lately, let me speed up your corruption! Purple smiled and stood up like a fox, gloating with a grim face. It's really rare to see his family with such an expression!

Rong Qian shook his head helplessly: "These little kids, are you so eager to drag me down?" The best solution shouldn't be to use my connections, and now is the right way to recruit and recruit talent. Why are you just dealing with me? What nonsense! Thinking about things so short-sighted, how can you stand up for yourself in the court in the future? Does he think that ruling is to run a family and wine? To say that he is naïve, he is really naïve! Two little kids, there's a lot to learn! ”

After scolding for a long time, seeing that Zi just looked at him clearly, he also closed his mouth: "Alas, now that I have withdrawn, it is useless to worry about it no matter how much I worry, Zi, you will act when you have the opportunity." Looking up at Zi's eyes, he finally sighed and got up and took her into his arms: "Don't look at me like that, I said, no one can stop what I decide, and no one can force me if I don't want to." "Even then you gave yourself for that milky kid?!" "Yes."

Just as he was about to continue, he noticed that Zi's head was resting on the shoulder, and there was a slight wetness. patted her on the head: "The last time I held you like this, it was when you saw you for the first time when you were seven years old, why are you still coquettish when you are so old?" …… Zi, you remember, this is what I am willing, no matter what happens to me in the future, you must be well, don't hate, don't take revenge, you are the calmest and smartest, you must persuade Yin'er well, and live your own life well. You are all my children, and I want you to be happy. "How can a daughter be happy when she pushes her father to death?!" Purple didn't care about the image, just lay on his shoulder and began to cry.

Rong Qian really has a headache, Yan Rin was only three or four years old when he did this, why is Xiao Zidu still so childish now that she is sixteen? There's no way he'll say that if he cries again, he'll be caught and spanked by the gods in the sky, right?

Rong Qian had a headache with Xiao Zi here, but Yin outside the door quietly squatted down with his knees and buried his face in his arms. Even if she knew what her family was thinking, she couldn't stop it, she could only watch her father-like adults, laugh and dig a grave for herself, and then jump into it without hesitation.

Everyone can see that adults are good to you, why can you not feel at all, not be grateful at all, and can't wait to kill adults? Emperor! Yan Rin! What the hell is your heart made of?! She looked up suddenly, a hint of fierceness flashing in her eyes. If you hurt an adult, one day, I will pay a thousand times for it!

On the second day, Rong Qian received Yan Rin's latest assignment from Taifu, and when he opened it, Rong Qian almost didn't choke to death with a mouthful of water! This, this, this! …… He knew that his actions had stimulated an uncute awkward child, but there was no need for him to praise Fang Qingchen as "a model of human ministers and a model of loyal ministers", right? Fang Qingchen? The fox? A model of a man and a model of loyalty? Are you kidding?! If he is a model of a man and a model of loyalty, is he not going to become an angelic savior......

Rong Qian wiped the sweat on his face, quietly summoned Taifu to Zuo Xiang's mansion, and vigorously conveyed to him that he should not believe people's words or the written records in the history books, and let him mention it to Yan Rin more. What if his child reads too many history books and is brainwashed by Fang Qingchen's fox? Ignoring Zhang Minxin's trembling voice in his head, he very urgently began the education reform of his children. It's good to look at this and the history books, but once Fang Qingchen's books are involved in the future, they will all be blocked by him!

At the beginning of the twelfth year of Amaterasu, that is, in the early spring when Yan Rin was eleven years old, incidents occurred one by one.

First of all, the Shura sect members from all over the country gathered to make trouble, and the court officials from all over the country folded their requests to restrict the evil ways of the Shura sect. Yushi also took the opportunity to impeach Zuo Xiang Rong Qian with his own power to connive at the Shura sect, Rong Qian was ordered by the emperor to think at home for three months and not to participate in political affairs. This incident caused a sensation, Zuo Xiang Rongqian was reprimanded by the emperor, and everyone in the court was in danger, and officials of all sizes distanced themselves from Rong Qian.

In the three months that Rong Qian pondered, he was still impeached by the imperial history many times, and he held a feast in the mansion, living as usual without remorse. Even the world-famous geisha Ziyuemo was summoned into the mansion, serving all the time, singing and laughing, and being arrogant and lascivious to the extreme. For a while, the hearts of the court began to slacken, and the ministers began to keep their distance from Rong Qian.

At the same time, during these three months, the Xorsal tribe of the Cypriot tribe was suppressed by the Yan economy because the prince Dulei offended the Tianwei of the Yan State, and lived in poverty for a while, and the regime was shaken by the opposition of the people.

During this period, Yan Rin promulgated a new method for recruiting talents, adding a new method of recruiting the emperor on the basis of Rong Qian's original examination and selection, and directly promoting talented civilians, and a new force began to gradually appear in the court.

Yan Rin was like this, accumulating bit by bit, resisting bit by bit, until the center began to have his power, his eyeliner, and his cronies. Every night, he and Shi Jingyuan racked their brains to consider countermeasures, make plans, deduce the perfect idea over and over again, and think about it repeatedly, making sure that everything would not be easily overturned by Rong Qian. In the fourteenth year of Amaterasu, that is, when he was thirteen years old, the capital was basically in his hands. At this time, Rong Qian, who was notorious for his arrogance and lasciviousness, was still living his life of "arrogance and lasciviousness".

Every day, I think about the major events of the world for him, make the perfect plan for him, and destroy my image for him. Watching his children become more and more cautious, more and more mature, and more and more perfect, his eyes are almost bent into the moon every day. For Rong Qian, there is nothing more gratifying than the progress of his own children, although there is a grave for him on the road to progress.

It's just that he's willing to eat it. Zhang Minxin said that his expression when he looked at Yan Rin's work was like a girl in her first love reading a love letter written by her lover, and she was smiling so much that she was about to squeeze out honey on her face. Rong Qian is noncommittal about this assessment. What are you doing, his child is smart and hardworking, he is a pillar of society, a flower for the future of the motherland, can't he, a parent, be proud, can't he be proud? Hmph, they're jealous! Hmph, their family doesn't have such a smart, cute, sensible and hard-working child, obviously this is jealous of him!

Hehe, he carried out the simulation of the fourth life, and for the first time he met such a well-behaved, obedient, and sensible child, he was able to do a perfect cultivation and be able to train a generation of Mingjun, wouldn't he be happy?

It was Rong Qian who was happy, but Yan Rin who was unhappy.

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

(xiii)

In the dead of night, the lights in the imperial study are still bright.

Since the age of ten, Yan Rin no longer has the habit of going to bed early. and Shi Jingyuan's candle night talk, and Shi Jingyuan's sand table deduction...... Both of them were accustomed to falling asleep on the table before they knew it, and finally it was Mr. Wang who came in and sent the tired and unconscious two back to the dormitory. How many times did I wake up and I don't know when I returned to the dormitory, such a desperate effort, just to break the forever calm smile on that person's face, just to step him off the zenith, just to prove that he is a monarch who can independently support the Yan Kingdom without him.

It's not like he can't do anything without him! If Rong Qian thinks like this, he is very wrong!

"The minister thinks that although we have some power in the court now, but these people are typical wall grass, if the emperor has a little change in Rong Qian's opinion, these people must be like before, around Rong Qian, and do their best to flatter, so such people, we can only let them create public opinion, create such a heavy atmosphere, but we can't expect them to stand on our side, without hesitation to sacrifice everything they have to overthrow Rong Qian. Therefore, now we must start to slowly divide Rong Qian's military power on the premise of stabilizing these civil ministers. There is no government without armament! Shi Jingyuan frowned and explained his opinion to Yan Rin, he was only fifteen years old, but he was quite old at the moment, where was the naivety of a few years ago?

"What Jing Yuan said is very true, and I also have this intention, we should start with the army. First of all, all the defenses in the capital must be our people! Yan Rin sat on the dragon chair, his finger pointing at the roster full of the names of the capital's defense officials, and his brows were also tangled. This information was obtained from Zixiao Palace, and it is absolutely reliable, but at least seventy percent of the people above are Rong Qian's people or people who have a relationship with Rong Qian. Rong Qian has such a wide network in the army, but where did they start to divide his military power?

Soldiers are no more than these only talkative, all the ministers who think about their own vital interests, they have reverence for Rong Qian, some are loyal, and more, they are absolutely grateful to Rong Qian for saving his life. Now, when Rong Qian has not caused great harm to the Yan Kingdom, it is simply impossible for them to betray Rong Qian. In their eyes now, military power is just an iron glutton, looking at the incense, but not gnawing on it.

The two of them fell silent for a moment, except for the candle flame burning quietly, with the occasional crackling sound. Yan Rin just slowly clenched his hands, but there was nothing he could do.

"Your Majesty, what if you analyze the current situation for these generals?" Shi Jingyuan suddenly raised his head and put forward a plan that was unlikely to be implemented. Yan Rin didn't answer, only quietly looked down at the roster on the table, her brows tangled. It's not that he hasn't thought about it, it's just that such a plan is too inefficient and too ineffective.

Soldiers are reckless and have little culture, and their thoughts are simple and hot-blooded. As long as Rong Qian doesn't sell this Great Yan Kingdom now, his imperial authority is not a trivial matter for them at all. If you are convinced, of course, it is good, if you can't, wouldn't you have to startle the snake? Now that he has reached such a situation, his plan must not be known by Rong Qian, otherwise with the army that Rong Qian holds, let alone overthrowing him, even Yan Rin's own throne will be in jeopardy.

You can't retreat, you can't continue, everything is here to put a knot, and it's a fatal knot, you can't untie it, do you have to hang like this for the rest of your life? Yan Rin gritted her teeth, but she was helpless.

Suddenly, Shi Jingyuan raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, I can't make a conclusion now, and give me some time to do it myself!" Let me go back to the Beijing Palace. ”

King Beijing is a senior general, an important minister of the two dynasties, and has a lot of intersections with Rong Qian. When Rong Qian ascended the altar to worship the generals, he was in the prime of his youth, but he stood on a higher position than the King of Beijing. King Beijing was extremely dissatisfied at the beginning, how could the stinky boy take on the heavy responsibility of the general? However, he was deeply impressed by the martial arts and talent displayed by Rong Qian in several battles, as well as the general's demeanor shown by this young man. Let him sigh that the blue is blue, let him sigh that the hero is a teenager, and let him sigh that the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves.

Rong Qian's martial arts are even more powerful, which makes him bow down. During a battle with the northern barbarians, an arrow was fired at his vest, and Rong Qian rode behind him with lightning speed, swung his sword to block the arrow, and saved his life.

At such a critical moment, Rong Qian's mind never had the slightest panic, it was as steady as a mountain, and nothing could shake that firmness. The layout, formation, and strategy were all carefully planned and carried out in detail, and while he blocked the arrows like rain, he did not forget to tell the soldiers to be careful to avoid and pay attention to precautions. In the end, under the command of Rong Qian, they defeated the enemy army, not only causing the opponent to collapse, but also establishing the power of the Great Yan Tianwei.

After the battle, Rong Qian sat on a white horse, wearing a mighty armor, but with a gentle and happy expression, that kind of Rong Qian captured the heart of the King of Beijing. Dayan has such a good general, Dayan has this capable minister, and Dayan has this talent, which is definitely a gift from God to Dayan. The figure that was not majestic in the sunset, but with momentum, was like a god in the sky, so noble and unblasphemous.

Since that war, Rong Qian's reputation has been an instant hit, and when the whole army saw Rong Qian, they all respected and loved him with extreme respect and love, all of them were grateful, and they all worshipped him like a god.

He smiled at every ordinary soldier, cared about their diet and daily life, cared about their psychological state, and cared about their physical health; He treated every general with equal respect, courteous and virtuous, listened to everyone's opinions, and never imposed his ideas on others, even if he had better plans; On the battlefield, he was able to behave like a divine helper, the development of the battle situation was simply as he imagined, and his calm command also became the best combat force for the undefeated Great Yan army.

Such a humility, such brilliance, such a look, and such a momentum are something that King Beijing has never encountered. Even, just by looking at the young man's gentle smile, seeing his calm look, and seeing his confident expression, you can confirm in your heart that they will not lose!

Rong Qian is like a myth in the heart of King Beijing, with a perfect synonym.

Facing his serious son, King Beijing is not depressed in his heart, not not opposed, such a good impression, how can his son and the emperor who have not dried up be able to understand, he can easily overthrow? It's just that...... What the son said was not a lie, over the years, Rong Qian's actions, Rong Qian's bearing, and Rong Qian's attitude are no longer the same as the previous Rong Qian, as if he was a different person, extremely abandoned to the government, ignoring everything. Such a Rong Qian, is it really still a Rong Qian?

"Father! You have also seen that since three years ago, Rong Qian began to ignore the emperor's affairs, and he also had the same attitude towards the government. He even said to the barbarian prince that the emperor was just a pawn for him, and it was only the first step to master the world. He wants to take the emperor into his hands, and then let the emperor be a puppet! If Rong Qian is still in his position as the left minister, calling for wind and rain and doing whatever he wants, what kind of face will Dayan be? The court only knows the vassal magnates, and there are no talents outside the court to contribute to the country, Dayan, it will be over in the end! At that time, what kind of face will my father use to face the ancestors and ancestors?! ”

Shi Jingyuan returned to the palace of Beijing Wang, and bitterly expressed his sins to his father and the need to overthrow him. Father is a test and a playthrough token. Those generals who held military power in their hands all knew that King Beijing's life was saved by Rong Qian. If King Beijing turned against Rong Qian, it would represent Rong Qian's absurdity, Rong Qian's rudeness, and Rong Qian's threat had reached the extreme. Any rational and thoughtful person should understand that no matter how kind this person is to you, when the interests of the country are threatened, the duty of a soldier is to protect the family and defend the country, and to put the interests of the country first and the overall situation first.

King Beijing finally buried his head, and when he raised it again, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and said to Shi Jingyuan: "If you want to overthrow Rong Xiang and take back the military power, you should first go to the Northern Yan Pass to persuade General Li." If he can keep it from meddling in your business, then the rest of the matter will be fine. Jingyuan, that's all I can help you and the emperor, and it's up to you next. ”

"Thank you, Father!!" Shi Jingyuan was overjoyed, turned around and ran towards the palace. No matter how hopeful it is, at least now it won't be as directionless as it used to be. Emperor! We've got a way to go!

Looking at the back of his son running away happily, King Beijing was full of emotion. Rongxiang, if you knew that this naughty child could grow up to the point of overthrowing you, pulling you down, and destroying you, would you still choose him to enter the palace to accompany you? Would you regret it if you knew that it was the child you taught and trained that pushed you to a dead end?

Looking up at the sky, it was pitch black, there was not a single star, there was not a trace of moonlight, and there was only a faint candlelight from the lattice window in the courtyard, which seemed very dark. When he closed his eyes, a radiant figure appeared in front of him, in a white robe and silver armor, with a gentle smile on his face that was always humble and confident, just like his name, which made people unable to take their eyes off it at a glance. In his chest, there will always be this world.

When did your humility turn into pride? When did your loyalty turn into ambition? When did you start to have your clear eyes blindfolded with secular power **** Rong Qian Rong, I always thought that Da Yan could have you, it was my Da Yan's blessing, that is, I sincerely recognized your talent, recognized your ability, respected you wholeheartedly, listened to you, watched you go up little by little, watched you illuminate the government and the opposition with your full talent, and watched you break your heart for the stability of the country and the safety of the emperor, but now, why are you no longer what you used to be?

I remember that Rong Qian once said that loyal ministers are the most important to the overall situation of the country's security, that is, no matter how much a person has been kind to the country, it is the past tense after all, and when he threatens national security and stability, he should not hesitate to eradicate it. Always put the interests and well-being of the country and the people first, this is the way to serve the king and the minister. At first, he was very shocked by Rong Qian's shocking remarks, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, but now, he is fulfilling his words and guiding the emperor to a path that can destroy him, a loyal minister in the past.

Don't blame me...... King Beijing said silently in his heart, and suddenly felt that his hands were held by a pair of warm hands. When he opened his eyes and saw his wife looking at him worriedly, he had to smile faintly and said, "It's okay, our son is very promising." Looking at the sky, he suddenly said, "Come in, the weather is about to change." ”

Three days later, Shi Jingyuan, the son of the king of Beijing, was recuperating at home due to a serious illness and disappeared from the court. Rong Qian looked at Yan Rin's empty side, and couldn't help but smile with a smile that seemed to be ill-intentioned on the surface but was actually gratifying.

The wild goose return in the north is the most marginal pass of the Yan country, and it is precisely because it is in the bitter cold land of the extreme north, so even the wild goose will not fly through here, because of the name of the wild goose. At a glance, there is no border desert, large grains of wind and sand blow and eat the thick city wall, every soldier here, with a rigorous and solemn face, is not found in the soldiers who enjoy good conditions in the capital. It's just because it's connected to the most ferocious ethnic minority gathering places, because it's a barrier to defend Dayan, and because there's a dedicated general here—Li Xiao.

Shi Jingyuan looked at the soldiers patrolling in the distance, and listened to the imposing shouts of the soldiers in his ears, and couldn't help but admire Li Xiao's ability from the bottom of his heart. He was born in a family of military generals, of course he knows what military orders are like mountains, what are hardcore laws, such a mighty army, such an imposing army, he actually made him a little excited, and he just wanted to become a member of that team and become a soldier who protected Dayan in this bitter cold land.

When he first came, although Shi Jingyuan came with a letter from King Beijing and a token as his companion minister, he did not enjoy any special treatment when he was in the barracks. When he saw Li Xiao, this weather-beaten general who had been tempered by the war and was extremely resolute, Shi Jingyuan couldn't help but feel admiration from the depths of his heart, just like when he saw Rong Qian for the first time, it was a lifelong emotion.

Shi Jingyuan explained to Li Xiao the purpose of his visit to Li Xiao when he was inspecting the soldiers' drills. Shi Jingyuan said very directly, he never concealed it, nor did he care about anything else. Soldiers have the honesty of soldiers, and soldiers have the straightforwardness of soldiers, if you use the kind of hypocrisy and wrongdoing to the courtiers, it will be self-defeating.

Unexpectedly, after listening to his opinion of Rong Qian, Li Xiao immediately took the case: "Rong Xiang is famous, how can you juniors be allowed to tarnish at will!" Shi Shizi, I'm sorry, the general's military camp does not welcome such a person who tarnishes his reputation, you better go back! ”

Shi Jingyuan took out his father's handwritten letter and said: "Whether what Jingyuan said is false or true, the general will know after reading my father's letter!" Father, he also laughed with Rong Qian on the battlefield, his life was still saved by Rong Qian, he would never allow me to say that Rong Qian was not! And I know that what I heard my father say the most since I was a child is Rong Qian, his brilliance, his means, his talents, and his martial arts...... Father and king are all extremely admired! If not...... If it weren't for Rong Qian's current behavior, how could my father have instructed me to seek General Li's help?! ”

Li Xiao watched Xin's hand gradually hang down, and he didn't know whether it was unbelievable or angry at the moment. How could that man of noble character, of a virtuous corporal, of eternal modesty and courtesy, be a despicable villain with wolf ambitions, trying to usurp the throne, and being extravagant, as they say? That kind of bearing, that kind of brilliance, how can a person disguise it? It's something that's inside a person, and how can it be easily changed?

The smiling man back then, he said to him in his warm voice: "Dedication to the country should be a matter of responsibility for the whole world, regardless of dignity or inferiority, old or young." Whether it is to give advice in the court, or to protect the family and the country at the border, it has its value. Now Rong Qian is in the court, but the general wants to go to the bitter cold place to defend the city, it does not mean that Rong Qian is higher than the general, to be noble, but it is the general's hard work, and it is more commendable than Rong Qian, the country is precisely because of the general who does not dedicate himself wholeheartedly, the people can live and work in peace and contentment without the invasion of foreign surnames, is this not what the general wants? ”

Back then, the talented man used vigorous and resolute means to pull down those old ministers who had made contributions to the country but now caused trouble in the court, and made the court atmosphere new. He said confidently: "What if it is a hero? The country wants loyal and capable ministers, but it does not need meritorious and powerful ministers! If you have no intention of serving the country, why should you occupy a pit in this sacred place and not? They don't want to contribute, so they say goodbye to their hometowns and let those who are willing to do it come! ”

On the day he left, Rong Qian personally sent him outside the city, took his hand and said earnestly: "General Li! The safety of Dayan, the safety of the court, and the safety of the emperor, Rong Qian hereby entrusts it to you! He got on his horse and walked a long way, and he could still see Rong Qian bending ninety degrees towards him. This kind of trust, such loyalty, and such sincerity are the spiritual pillars that have supported him over the years to live without complaint when he returns to the customs here.

And now...... He looked up to the sky and roared. Appearance, but what should I do? You've said a lot of amazing things to us, but I think they make a lot of sense. You say that meritorious heroes should be punished for their mistakes, and you say that the interests of the country are the first priority...... And now, your words are making me ruin you! If Shi Shizi comes, I won't believe half a word, but even King Beijing ...... Even the prince who was saved by you and obeyed you and respected you said this, what should I do?

In the evening, when the geese returned to the city, a figure held a few pieces of paper and burst into tears in the dark sky. Rongxiang, you are my mentor, you are my Bole, you are my boss, more like my relatives. Now, if I want to do what you teach me, will you resent me?

In any case, as you said, everything starts from the overall situation and puts the country first. The country is important! The long howl of weeping blood made Shi Jingyuan stand under the city and couldn't help but burst into tears. I can't tell whether he is happy for Yan Rin or sad for Rong Qian, Shi Jingyuan only knows that when he watched this Zhongliang make the most difficult choice in his life, his heart really hurt.

(xiv)

On the eve of the great change, Rong Qian relied on the experience accumulated in the fourth life, and he could smell the unusual smell in the air. It's just that he still pretends not to know, spends all day in front of the emperor drinking, arrogant and lascivious, and lives a life like the best rice worm.

If Yan Rin is a coup d'état, he will definitely put him, a powerful minister, to death, firstly, to remove the threat to the imperial power, and secondly, to be able to give out the evil spirit that he has suppressed for many years.

It's just that he, the old hen, can't let go of his care for the chicks, and he insists on holding candles every night, thinking about his future, all the problems that may be encountered, all the accidents that may occur, and all the characters and things that may be involved, he wrote them down for him in great detail. He used one paper after another, and he stayed up almost until dawn every day, and carefully mixed these things with his work and put them in the small food box, hoping that in the future, if possible, he could give him a bright path in a desperate situation to help him go more smoothly.

It's just that...... Rong Qian paused and smiled slightly bitterly, that awkward child, he couldn't wait to get rid of him quickly, how could he follow his instructions? He hated himself for controlling him for so long, he was finally liberated, how could he listen to him again now? It's just that...... It's just that...... He took a sip of the good tea brewed in the shade, and put a lot of ingredients in the tea, all of which were ingredients to dispel fatigue, and picked up the pen again. It's just that he still doesn't let go of any way that can help his children. Look at Yan Rin or not, but do not do it, in him.

A few days ago, I instructed the housekeeper to make him a sensational birthday banquet for the Beijing master. In the past few days, he has used all kinds of unbelievable and inexplicable reasons to drive away many slaves. Whether it's not extravagant enough, whether it's not profitable enough, or if it's not good to watch, the slaves are driven out by him one by one. The people in the mansion were all in danger, cautious in their words and deeds, and they were still kicked out of the mansion by Rong Qian's eggs. Then I asked the most clever and smartest people from all the adults to come, and it was bound to hold a birthday banquet that caused a sensation in Beijing.

Only Rong Yin remained. She has followed Rong Qian since she was a child, and what the adults of his family are thinking in their hearts, her heart is clear and clear. It was Rong Qian who saved her, it was Rong Qian who accepted her, it was Rong Qian who raised her, and it was Rong Qian who taught her. If there was no Rong Qian, her life would not be what it is today. So Rong Qian couldn't find any reason to kick her out. After all, this child was also raised by him, and he couldn't be hard to catch up. Anyway, there is still some time before the coup d'état of Yan Rin, and there is no rush for this time.

Rong Yin looked at the slightest light through the window, thinking about the person buried in work under the lamp, and his heart couldn't help but be sour, and he was about to burst into tears. Her appearance is that she is always noble, always loyal, always thinking about others more than herself, and thinking more about the country than herself. How could his nobility, his integrity, be so simply lost because of the passage of time? He is so wholeheartedly for the emperor's plan, and what has the emperor prepared to reciprocate?

What he repaid to him was to speak coldly to him, to make him think behind closed doors, to take away the power in his hands step by step, to suppress his cronies, and to push him into the abyss from which he will never recover! Your Majesty, what is your heart made of? Why can't you even be grateful?

Adult, he ...... He's starting to drive people out right now. Although he said with a disgusted face that this is not good and that is too bad, Rong Yin knew in his heart that the adults were afraid that they would become prisoners and that these innocent people would be implicated. He always thinks about others and thinks about others, but is there a time when he thinks about himself?

Don't leave the appearance! Death will not leave him! Even if he becomes a prisoner, even if he is beheaded, even if he will even kill her, she doesn't want to be lonely. Although the adults always have a gentle and humble smile, she can feel the loneliness in that smile. She doesn't want to be alone all the time!

However, what is due will always come. Ren Rongyin knelt on the ground and dragged the corner of Rong Qian's clothes, begging and crying, begging him to let her follow him, regardless of life and death, let her follow him. However, Rong Qian just flicked his sleeves lightly and said, "It's noisy." Then he picked up her light body and threw it out. At that moment, she knew that her body couldn't move at all, so she could only let herself fall to the ground over the high wall with a light throw from him. What I saw in the blurred tears was Rong Qian's unbearable face and sorry eyes, his body fell heavily to the ground, a pain passed through his heart and lungs, and he vomited a mouthful of blood under the severe pain, and finally he didn't even shout out a word "adult", and fainted.

When I woke up, I saw a purple face. She grabbed Purple's sleeve in a hurry, but couldn't say a word because of the pain. Zi looked at her panicked expression and burst into tears before she could speak. Rong Yin knew in an instant that her adult had sacrificed herself, her little face turned pale, and tears fell down in big drops. She actually knew that if the situation hadn't reached an extremely critical moment, the adults would never have thrown her out like this.

Looking at Yin's eyes that were completely stunned, Zi collected tears before slowly speaking: "Yin, don't be sad and don't be disappointed, the adult may not be dead now." Hearing this, Rong Yin's death-like eyes lit up again, and she looked at Zi anxiously, hoping to get a hint of half-star Rong Qian's information from her mouth.

However, Zi just shook her head and said, "You have been in a coma for seven days. He was arrested on his birthday. The holy decree came down to the mansion, saying that he was tyrannical and tyrannical, and he was imprisoned in prison. After being locked up in a flail for three days and three nights, the emperor issued an order and Ling Chi was executed. Zi paused when she said this, gently pulled away Rong Yin's tightly clenched palm, didn't let her scratch her palm, and then wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and then she gently patted the back of Rong Yin's hand, signaling her to listen to her calmly.

"On the first day, the ...... was cut A hundred knives, the whole body was covered in blood and pain, but it was not a serious injury, just a flesh wound. That night, the emperor visited the prison at night, but did not go in to see the adults, and then was advised by a general named Chun Yuhua to watch the execution. On the second day, the emperor went to the court. However, before the second day's execution was exhausted, perhaps the executioner was also frightened by the smiling adults, and a loud cry became a sign of the rebels' actions. The emperor's situation is very dangerous, but at that moment, my lord he ...... broke free from the shackles with an invincible attitude, and came to the emperor in an instant, turning all the crises into him. Now, the emperor's external statement is that this is an adult's bitter trick, just to lure out the rebels. However, since that day, the Lord followed the emperor back to the palace, and there has been no whereabouts so far. The emperor said that the adults were recuperating in the palace, but with my skills, at least I knew that the adults were out of the palace, but I had no clue where I went. ”

Rong Yin finally buried his head. The most precious thing in her family is that in addition to the emperor or the emperor, if he leaves the emperor, it must be that he can't stay. A person who has been delayed for two days, a person whose whole body is wounded, bloody, and painful, and a person who has exhausted all his strength, where can there be any chance of survival?

Ling Chi! Ling Chi!! Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are really a good person who has both filial piety and filial piety, and you are a unique good person throughout the ages, who can bring you up, teach you, cultivate you, care for you, and protect you without hesitation!!

My lord, it hurts. Flesh and blood are cut from the flesh, leaving the flesh and blood of the body to blur. I know you're not afraid of pain, and I know you're strong, but even then, you're in pain! Why can you still smile and scare the executioner after the emperor issued such a bloody, chilling, and violent killing order, and you can still use all your strength to save the tyrant who hates you, deals with you, and kills you?! He doesn't deserve to be an adult, you give everything you have for him!

But...... But...... No one has seen your body, so can I trust you to be alive? I'm going back, I'm going home and waiting for you! Looks, my loved ones! The Yin Club will always be waiting for you to go home in the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion! She pulled Purple's sleeve with difficulty and said, "Purple, take me back!" ”

Zi squeezed her cold hand tightly and said softly, "Okay, I'll take you back." Then he smiled coldly: "My lord is reluctant to bully the emperor, reluctant to make him sad, reluctant to make him sad, reluctant to worry about him." I, Duan Xianzi, don't have such noble sentiments. If I don't avenge the adult's revenge, how can I be worthy of the adult's nurturing and teaching? ”

I'm sorry, my lord, but not only did I not listen to you and persuade Yin, but I couldn't help but avenge you. Just because you are our only relative, if you don't do this, your heart will hurt so much that the pain will be lost.

Shi Jingyuan hurriedly walked into the imperial study and saw Yan Rin sitting straight on the dragon chair, the expression on his face was as calm as water, as if nothing had happened. Shi Jingyuan knew that he must have ignored his injury, and sat directly on the hardwood stool, wanting to express his remorse through such pain.

"Your Majesty, you better put on a cushion." Shi Jingyuan couldn't help but persuade. "Out of the way. Accommodate him...... I was hurt like that, and I took a salt water bath, and I didn't snort. I was just a flesh wound, and I was nowhere near as painful as he was. He lightly stubbornly resisted Shi Jingyuan's admonition.

That kind of stubbornness reminded Shi Jingyuan of the child who waited for Rong Qian until midnight every day, and remembered the child who never gave up his enterprising heart every time he mentioned Rong Qian in the past five years.

It turned out that Yan Rin's stubbornness and pride were innate, and he had never been discarded by him.

"Is there anything wrong with you?" Yan Rin saw him standing dumbly below, and couldn't help but ask. Only then did Shi Jingyuan come back to his senses and bow to Yan Rin: "The minister summoned the lord of the Zixiao Hall for the emperor, and it is said that there is news of his appearance!" ”

Yan Rin's eyes lit up instantly: "Hurry up!" A sense of joy filled my heart. There is news of Rongxiang! Will he be able to see him soon? Can he ask him never to leave? Can he compensate him well for a long time in the future, let him be by his side, take care of him, protect him, and let him be satisfied as long as he can see his smile, so that he doesn't have to worry about anything?

A woman in a purple costume walked into the hall and saluted Yan Rin with perfect etiquette: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live, long live." Yan Rin was stunned, the Lord of the Purple Night Hall was actually ...... Woman?

"Let's be flat." Yan Rin was a monarch after all, and although he was taken aback, he did not lose his steady, and called the woman in the palace up. On closer inspection, there is not much to show for the woman. The height is average, and the appearance is not overwhelming, but the demeanor and demeanor are quite everyone's style. A natural momentum, a natural dignifiedness, is in the gestures, naturally released.

This reminded Yan Rin of Rong Qian, he was always in control of everything, thinking about everything, keeping the world safe in his chest, never panicking, and never miscalculated. He was like a god, standing on a high place and looking down on the common people.

Thinking of Rong Qian, Yan Rin couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart, and immediately spoke: "The Lord of the Purple Night Palace, who doesn't want to be famous all over the world, turned out to be a female streamer, which surprised me very much. ”

The purple-clothed woman bowed and said with a light smile: "The concubine is only the nominal hall master, and the affairs of the palace are all handled by the concubine's subordinates." ”

"Oh? Then why did the hall master personally handle the affairs this time? ”

The woman's expression was still a light smile that did not change everywhere: "It's a matter of life and death, and the little woman also wants to do her best." I heard that Rong Xiang is a great hero of the Yan country, he is a young master, but he never thought of changing hands, he devoted himself to the emperor, and also devoted himself to my Dayan, so that my Dayan Society is safe and healthy, and the people are happy. Now that he is seriously injured and left, the little woman naturally wants to use all her strength to find it. We can't let such a loyal minister leave after suffering like this, let alone let him die with hatred like this. Your Majesty, are you right when you say that the concubine is a concubine? ”

Shi Jingyuan looked at Yan Rin, his face was already extremely ugly, and he thought that this Purple Night Hall Lord was really unkind to speak, every word was an arrow, and it was a needle, and it shot straight at the softest place in Yan Rin's heart.

Zi sneered and saw that Yan Rin's expression gradually dimmed, and the remorse in her eyes fell into her eyes without leaking. Is it painful? Regret it? Push the person who brought you up and paid for you without hesitation, without hesitation to let him flesh and blood, without hesitation to make him feel uncomfortable. Now you know the pain, you know the regret?

However, when you gave such a bloody killing order, did you ever think that the person who always had a gentle smile would also be in pain? A child who was raised by himself and hurt like his own child, baring his fangs to himself, stretching out his claws to himself, and stabbing a sharp sword at himself, his heart is probably thousands of times more painful than you are now, right?

So Yan Rin, you deserve it! If you don't look good, I'll let you pay it back slowly!

Yan Rin clenched his hands tightly into a fist, and vigorously forced the green tendons to burst out. Purple's words pierced his heart one by one. Appearance, appearance! Why can even a child of the rivers and lakes see your dedication to me, can understand your hard work for me, and can feel your care and attention to me, but why, I can't see, hear, or feel when I'm so close to you.

Isn't it, I'm really a wolf-hearted person, isn't it, power and the world, blinded my eyes, blurred my memory, and swallowed my conscience. Those love you for me, those doting on me, and those teachings you teach me can be easily wiped out by those gossips! Appearance! I......

In the end, he still looked up with difficulty: "I heard that the Zixiao Hall has the news of appearance, but is it true?" Now he can only embrace such a possibility, no matter what, he wants to get Rong Xiang back, he wants to tell Rong Xiang that he is wrong! Rongxiang, shall we go back?

But I never thought that the broken mirror could not be reunited, even if the pieces were to be glued together, there would be cracks and scars.

Purple continued, "Yes. This morning, there was news from his subordinates that there was a palace horse being betrayed in the market in a village on the outskirts of the city. The horses in the palace are marked, and it is impossible to make a mistake. I think it might be the horse Rong Xiang rode when he left the palace. ”

"Where is the horse now? What about appearance? Have you found your face? Yan Rin asked anxiously.

I saw Zi slowly shaking his head and saying, "My subordinates have carefully interrogated the horse dealer, and the horse dealer is a gambler. He said that he saw the horse spinning around in the middle of the night in the suburbs a few days ago, when he saw something on the ground in the distance, but he didn't move, and he thought that he had fallen from a horse and died. It was raining heavily, and he didn't dare to go over to see it, so he only moved the idea of the horse, wanting to sell it to pay off the gambling debt. When I went to see it again the next day, there was no one left, so I thought it was...... Taken away by wild beasts. ”

Yan Rin suddenly stood up from the dragon chair when he heard this, his face turned pale, his body shook twice, and he was unable to sit back on the chair, Shi Jingyuan was afraid of his injury, and immediately rushed up to support him. He only lost his mind and pushed Shi Jingyuan's hand away, his lips trembling and he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it in the end. I had to wave my hand and let Zi retreat.

Zi Lin left, but suddenly turned around: "Your Majesty, forgive the concubine for saying too much." Rong Xiang has always been a meticulous person, presumably there will be some things in his mansion that the emperor can use. Why don't the emperor go to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion to explore? ”

As soon as Yan Rin said this, there was some brightness in his eyes as if he was dead. Seeing this, Zi smiled lightly and bowed and retreated.

Shade, it's up to you next!
