The first emperor had a total of five sons, the eldest prince and the fourth prince were born to the Empress of the Zhenggong Palace, and the second prince was born to Concubine Liu. As the princes grew up, who could win the throne became the most popular topic of discussion among the officials and people of Xingyang.

The one who was most highly anticipated by everyone and the emperor was the eldest prince. But this situation was broken when the eldest prince was sixteen years old, the year when the first emperor wanted to make the eldest prince the crown prince.

That year, the eldest prince and the fourth prince were attacked out of the palace in civilian clothes, although they were rescued by Shen Wengong, the second son of Wu'an Hou, who risked his life, but he still died of illness after three months due to his injuries. The four princes, who witnessed his eldest brother being impaled in the abdomen in order to protect him, studied hard and practiced martial arts, and finally won the throne eleven years later, becoming the third emperor of Great Xia.

The young emperor Qianchang Emperor He Chengze grew up overnight after witnessing the assassination of the emperor's eldest brother, which is impressive. Shen Yanyou, the second grandson of the Marquis of Wu'an, has been sensible since he could speak, and he is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.

Shen Yanyou's birthday is May 17 of the ninth year of permanence.

On that day, the eldest prince and the fourth prince were assassinated on the streets of Xingyang, and his father Shen Wengong lost his cousin Shen Yanyi because of the rescue. The cousin was snatched away, the Wu'an Hou Mansion was in chaos, and the mother, who was just nine months pregnant, was in pain for more than half a day, and gave birth to him very dangerously.

When Shen Yanyou was three months old, the eldest prince died of illness, and his uncle died on the battlefield.

When Shen Yanyou was seven months old, his aunt Luo died of illness.

When Shen Yanyou was four years old, his seven-year-old eldest sister Shen Cunyu carried a silver spear that was much taller than her and entered the camp of the Right Hou Wei.

When Shen Yanyou was five years old, his grandmother died.

A frail child is always more sensitive and thoughtful than a healthy child. Shen Yanyou, who grew up in an environment where relatives died one after another and his cousins were missing, is even more so.

Every year the family celebrates his birthday and smiles happily in front of him, but he knows that they are unhappy because his cousin was lost on the day he was born. As old as he was, his cousin was lost.

Because of this, his mother often complained that the family only had the lost Shen Yanyi in their eyes, saying that the reason why he was weak and sick was because of Shen Yanyi's harm, but Shen Yanyou understood that this was not the case since he was five years old.

After the death of my grandmother, the family was grief-stricken, and my father cried heartbreakingly in the mourning hall. Shen Yanyou had never seen his father like that, he was frightened and had a fever, and was carried back to the room by his mother, and when he drank the medicine and was in a daze, he heard his mother and grandmother sitting on the edge of the bed talking.

Mother's complaining voice was interrupted by her grandmother, "These are all things in the past, what's the use of you always holding grudges, if you scold a few more words, Yanyou's body will be better?"

"Mother, I hate it, I'm just such a son, I hope he gets better every day, but you see that he is sick and crooked, if it weren't for Shen Yanyi...... mother beat her chest and cried, hearing that Shen Yanyou was uncomfortable and scared.

My grandmother interrupted my mother angrily, "You talk too much nonsense, do you take it seriously? Yanyou is like this, it's all up to you! If it weren't for the fact that you jumped up with joy after hearing that Shen Yanyi was lost, Yanyou would have been born prematurely?"

Mother Nuo Nuo said, "My daughter didn't jump, but the ground was damp and slipped."

Grandmother sneered and asked, "Do you believe this kind of thing yourself?"

The mother was silent, and the dizzy Shen Yanyou was even more confused.

After a long time, my grandmother's tone improved, and it didn't make Shen Yanyou's heart feel uncomfortable when she heard it, "Whether Master Hou and Mrs. are good to Yanyou, you know it yourself. If it weren't for the Hou Mansion raising it with a golden soup and jade spoon, Yanyou would have been gone a long time ago, and if you continue to complain like this, your son-in-law will leave your heart with you sooner or later."

The mother retorted, "It is right to keep the golden soup and jade spoon, my son is the only grandson of the Hou Mansion, and the Hou Mansion will still count on him in the future."

"You have a heart hanging on him, it is better to raise your body and have another one." The grandmother's voice was not loud, and her tone was not stern, but Shen Yanyou was even more scared when she heard it, "Whether this child can be raised or not, maybe the marquis has not left yet, so he will leave first."

Shen Yanyou couldn't remember what they said later, but this passage was deeply imprinted in his mind, and he didn't dare to tell anyone. Later, his mother gave him to the nurse and no longer guarded him every day. After Shen Yanyou was scared, he found that many of the words his mother said were wrong.

The eldest sister doesn't hate him and will help him

Hit those who bullied him. Grandfather and father didn't just see the lost cousin, they also cared about him. His grandfather would stay by his bedside because he was sick and tell him stories to amuse him; His father would wrap him in a cloak, carry him to see the lanterns, and buy him beautiful clay figurines......

When he grew up, his mother gave birth to a third brother, and she protected and guarded him as an eyeball, regardless of herself. Shen Yanyou was only lost for a few days before he cheered up. Because he has read and learned etiquette, he understands how hard his grandfather and father worked, and how hard his eldest sister worked.

His grandfather and father had to defend the country against enemies, deal with government affairs, protect the four princes from being assassinated and framed, find his cousin, and take care of him when he was sick. The eldest sister is also very tired, and she is injured every time she goes home. Even so, they all laughed happily in front of him.

Shen Yanyou also laughed happily, and he wanted to reassure them.

He studied hard, and when outsiders mentioned the Wu'an Hou Mansion again, they not only talked about how pitiful Wu Anhou who lost his eldest grandson was, and how ridiculous the eldest sister who went to the military camp to fight with a group of men, but also let them know that there was also a Shen Yanyou who was very good at reading in the Wu'an Hou Mansion.

When he grew up, Shen Yanyou understood that it was not good to only read well, because he was a sick man. No matter how hard he tries, outsiders will not only not look up to the Hou Mansion of Wu'an because of this, but will have another sigh: There is also a sick man in the Hou Mansion of Wu An, who can read. ap.

He's going to get powerful. If the body can't do it, use the brain.

Shen Yanyou began to look beyond the books, above the court, and between the world, and in addition, he began to look for his cousin Shen Yanyi. He didn't care about the title his mother had in mind, he wanted to get his cousin back. Because only when they find their cousins can grandfather and father be truly happy. Now he can understand why his father was crying so sadly in his grandmother's funeral hall. Because my father believed that his uncle, aunt, and grandmother died of illness one after another, all because he lost his cousin.

In Kyushu, it is not easy to find someone.

When Shen Yanyou was thirteen years old, his grandfather found out the whereabouts of his cousin and resigned and went south on the grounds of recuperation. Before my grandfather left, even the aftermath was arranged, and it meant that he would not return to Beijing if he didn't find his cousin. Since his grandfather left, Shen Yanyou has not been panicked for a day, always feeling that something will happen, he discussed with his father, and successively transferred two batches of people to reinforce his grandfather.

But something still happened: when my grandfather was in Qi County, the Wolong Embankment in Qi County burst the embankment.

When the news came back to the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion in Xingyang, Shen Yanyou warned him over and over again not to panic, not to fall ill, to calm down, and to immediately dispatch people to find his grandfather. When they learned that although their grandfather was injured but had arrived in Xuanzhou safely, Shen Yanyou and his father did not have time to catch their breath, and the 800 li of the Beiting Protectorate was sent into Beijing in a hurry-more than 200,000 elite Turkic soldiers invaded Daxia!

There was a flood in the south, and there were soldiers in the north. Facing a group of courtiers with their own thoughts, the young son of heaven had to pin his hopes on the Wu'an Hou Mansion, which was valued by him. The grandfather was injured, and the eldest sister became the preferred minister of Emperor Qianchang.

Unwilling to see the only bloodline left by his uncle go to Beiting to fight hard, his father asked for the order to go on the expedition, and the Wu'an Hou Mansion was handed over to the thirteen-year-old Shen Yanyou. Shen Yanyou has no energy to complain that he is not angry and cannot lead the troops to the battle, he has to arrange manpower to protect his grandfather's return to Beijing along the way, to prepare for his father's expedition, and to investigate the truth that his grandfather's whereabouts have been exposed.

How happy Shen Yanyou was when his grandfather returned to Beijing safely, how uncomfortable, how tired, and how tired Shen Yanyou was when he found out that his mother revealed his grandfather's whereabouts.

Later, he learned about Shen Ge's existence from his grandfather and Xu Chuan, and he expected Shen Ge to be his cousin, so when the eldest sister yelled to go south to see Shen Ge, Shen Yanyou stood on her side.

If it weren't for the frailty, he would have wanted to go. In addition to finding his grandson for his grandfather, his cousin's brother, and his nephew for his father, he also wanted to have a brother who could fight side by side and face the ups and downs outside the house with him.

In the house, he bears it with all his might.

After thinking about it in every way, Shen Yanyou, who is the son of man, came up with the idea of imprisoning his mother and cutting off her contact with the outside of the house.

After the eldest sister confirmed that Shen Ge was her cousin, her grandfather held the letter and cried bitterly, and Shen Yanyou wrote to her father with tears.

After a long period of anticipation, it was finally the day when his grandfather and eldest sister returned to Beijing, and Shen Yanyou, who went out of the city to greet him, finally met his cousin after fifteen years late.

The moment the two looked at each other and smiled, Shen Yanyou knew that his cousin Shen Ge Shen Yanyi was better than what everyone said in their mouths and letters.

The burden on his shoulders can finally be put down, and he can face life and death calmly.
