Song Yi can be regarded as the first time to come to the new residence of the Seven Princes in Yangzhou, but the atmosphere does not seem to be very good!

Perhaps it should be said that it has been quiet for too long.

When Song Yi first came, the Seventh Prince was still a little reluctant, he thought that Song Yi was here to say goodbye. But he didn't expect Song Yi to get along with him alone, which made his face turn weirdly red in surprise

However, as time passed, Song Yi didn't speak, and he finally looked solemn and realized something.

The morning passed in silence, and the atmosphere was eerily quiet. As a result, the Seventh Prince's face turned pale, and he knew that the silence of the Dao meant that what Song Yi was going to say must be very important and difficult.

And the longer the silence, the more important it is.

Finally, the Seventh Prince was the first to find it difficult to endure this quiet torture, and he sat in the chair with some lost soul, not touching the cup of tea that had been cold for a long time, and said in a distracted manner, "Say it, I'm ready." ”

Song Yi frowned, as if he hadn't figured out the wording yet. In fact, he was silent for so long, not to wait for the Seventh Prince to speak first, but because he himself knew how to speak in the best way.

He once planted a seed in the heart of the Seven Princes in the capital, maybe too much time has passed, and the Seven Princes may have forgotten it, or it may have sprouted, but Song Yi now wants to let that seed break through the ground and see the light!

He sighed, and finally found the opportunity to speak.

Picked up the cup of herbal tea on the table, drank it all, and then said to the Seventh Prince, "There are some things, because General Yue has never had a chance to say it again, so let me tell you!" ”

"If you want to fulfill filial piety, you must first stand on your own feet."

The Seventh Prince's body shook, and he instantly understood the meaning of this sentence. His eyes were red, and he looked at Song Yi and said with some sadness, "Qin Fang doesn't dare that he is already the emperor, so it may be good that everything is settled." ”

"Looking at all history shows that this is not the end! Emperor Xian mobilized General Zhao Ke here at the last moment, and sent the little princess here, which means that he hopes that the seventh prince and the little princess can have their own safe territory. ”

"yes, so isn't that bad?" The Seventh Prince asked.

"Do you think Zhao Ze will think this situation is good?" Song Yi asked rhetorically.

The Seventh Prince was silent for a long time, and asked with a somewhat dazed expression, "Then what can I do?" ”

"Almost all the Wenchen who are close to the Seven Princes in the court have lost power, but Zuo Qianqian, Ning Fanyu and others are still by His Royal Highness's side, which means that there are still people around you."

"You want me to resist?" The Seventh Prince smiled bitterly, tears in his eyes.

"It's just self-preservation! If you can't stand on your own feet and protect yourself, wouldn't the first emperor's painstaking efforts to send the little princess out at the last moment and mobilize General Zhao Ke here was not in vain? ”

"However, my father can't even let me go back to Beijing to see the queen, doesn't he just want me to stay here in peace? The self-preservation and self-reliance you are talking about, you still want me to have the strength to fight him, I know the way! The Seventh Prince cried and said it in a sad tone.

Song Yi was a little helpless, the weakness of the Seven Princes was rare among the men he had ever seen. That's why he was silent for so long before he decided to speak. But I didn't expect him to collapse

"If Zhao Ze doesn't embarrass you, then you'll be fine, if he wants to embarrass you, you might block it for a moment? What does the emperor mean by entrusting the little princess to you? Didn't you want to protect him? If you can't become strong, you are only afraid of destruction, and I will tell the truth every word, and I hope that Your Highness will forgive your sins! ”

When Song Yi said that later, his tone was already a bit hateful.

The Seventh Prince was stunned, finally wiped away his tears, looked at Song Yi a little confused and asked, "Then what should I do to protect myself and Xue'er?" ”

Song Yi pondered for a moment, and then said solemnly, "The first step you have to do is to take Zhao Min as a concubine!" ”

The Seventh Prince opened his mouth wide, looked at Song Yi in disbelief, and after a moment, sighed and laughed at himself, "Is this to entrap General Zhao Ke?" ”

"Yes! Now the only one who can protect you is General Zhao Ke's army, and only by letting General Zhao get closer to you can you have no worries for the time being! You and Miss Zhao Min have known each other since childhood, and if you want to get married, it is logical, not to mention, Your Highness, you have a soft temperament, but Zhao Min has the courage to decide that this is a good match! Song Yi said seriously.

The Seventh Prince smiled bitterly, "But there is only friendship between me and Zhao Min, but there is no love between men and women!" ”

"After the round house, you will have the love of husband and wife, have children, you will have family affection, as for the love between men and women, you have gotten along well for so many years, as long as the life between the two has been so harmonious, it is also the love of men and women! The lingering and sympathetic feelings between men and women in poetry and opera are unattainable, if Your Highness marries Zhao Min, you will inevitably change your heart! ”

"You think I'm too weak?" The Seventh Prince laughed at himself, looking at Song Yi with sad eyes.

"You're just too kind, but in the current situation, if you don't change a little, I'm afraid you won't be able to protect the little princess after all! Zhao Ze is the emperor, you should know better than anyone how strong he should be once he has that identity, and how weak you will be! ”

The Seven Princes were silent, there were no more tears in their eyes, but their hearts felt as if they had cried.

"As you said, but even if I marry Zhao Min, how can I stop him?" The Seventh Prince asked seriously.

There are some questions that he has always thought about, but he has never exited, and he has never wanted to act! But now, he seems to be shaken.

"If Your Highness has the heart to stand on your own, then there is still hope, and everyone in the world must know that you have stayed in the palace longer than the rest of the princes, which in a sense actually symbolizes the emperor's favor for you!"

"Is that so?"

The Seventh Prince looked up at Song Yi with a strange look of agitation in his eyes.

"If the emperor didn't favor you in the first place, how could he let you live in the palace all the time? You should know that King Ming has always been envious of you, King Ming went to Luoyang very early, and he also had no chance to return to Beijing, isn't this enough to show that in the eyes of the first emperor, you are more hopeful? ”

The Seventh Prince thought for a moment, then asked, "Father once said that you can be a teacher for future generations!" So now are you telling me this as my teacher, or are you a friend? ”

Song Yi thought about it seriously, and then said with a smile, "I am also a teacher and a friend." ”

The Seventh Prince suddenly bowed and said, "Since taking a concubine is the first thing, then you must tell me the second or third thing, right?" ”

"Do the first thing well, the second thing is that General Zhao Ke and Zhao Min will teach you how to do it!" Song Yi said.

"Oh yes! Zhao Min is good at business and martial arts, I can indeed learn a lot, but this is not enough for me to feel at ease in Jiangnan, right? The Seventh Prince asked with a calm expression.

It's like he is finally like a proud prince at this moment. But Song Yi understood that the Seventh Prince must be extremely painful in his heart at the moment, because growth is always the biggest change, and this change actually represents the sacrifice of some innocence!

Song Yi was both a little relieved and said with some complicated emotions, "If Jiangnan is settled, it will definitely cut off the road to the south, and I am in Yanyun, and the north will not be controlled by him for the time being!" And King Luoyang Ming must hate Zhao Ze more than the Seventh Prince, so guarding Jiangnan is guarding his family, even if he has power over the world, he still doesn't dare to set foot on Jiangnan easily"

The Seventh Prince was silent, and sighed sadly for a long time, "Will you stay and drink my wine?" ”

Song Yi was shocked, he didn't expect the Seventh Prince to agree so quickly, but he also sighed with some sadness, "I'm afraid it's too late, I'm about to go north." ”
