The dormitory was quiet, the reddish sunlight shone through the west window lattice, and the carved flowers were cast on the bed through the wisps of hollow, Yang Jian smelled the fragrance from the incense burner and woke up slowly.

"Your Majesty....."

The attendant stepped forward with a towel and gently wiped the emperor, the old man's eyes were a little cloudy, and when he heard the creak of the door opening, a figure strode in with the sunlight shining in the hollow carving on the other side.

"Amour?"

"Your Majesty, it's the minister Li Yuan. ”

"Shude?" Yang Jian narrowed his eyes vigorously, saw the person coming clearly, and smiled: "I almost saw you and Amour as one person, where is he now?"

Li Yuan, who came in, closed the door gently, walked to the side of the dragon couch, looked at the weak uncle on the couch, his heart was a little blocked, he lost his father since he was a child, and he spent most of his time in Yang Jian's mansion, and it was not an exaggeration to regard the old man as his father.

Li Yuan took a deep breath, squatted down with the sound of his armor rubbing, approached the old man and whispered:

"Back to Your Majesty, the crown prince is almost here. ”

This morning, the matter of deposing Yang Yong's crown prince has already spread in the palace, even if there is no edict to canonize Yang Guang as the crown prince at this time, but in the early dynasty, the emperor's edict can be regarded as establishing the future position of the king of Jin.

Therefore, it is not abrupt for Li Yuan to say that Yang Guang is the crown prince at this time.

'Ahem~~~'

The dormitory was quiet for a while, the silent old man on the dragon couch suddenly coughed, the eunuch hurriedly picked up the spittoon, and Li Yuan also stood to the side, reaching out and patting his uncle's back.

"Ouch....."

The eunuch who was kneeling and holding the spittoon saw a circle of blood floating on the clear water at the bottom of the bowl, and screamed in fright, realizing that something was wrong, he raised his hand and hurriedly covered his mouth, Li Yuan's eyes were angry, and he was about to pull out the hilt of the sword at his waist.

"Shude, forget it. ”

Yang Jian was unable to speak, and shook his palm at the eunuch again: "Go." ”

After the old man took a breath, he looked at Li Yuan who was there with a pestle, and smiled: "You, what are you angry with a eunuch, exclaiming that it is normal for people to be small." ”

"Your Majesty..... That's right. ”

Over there, Li Yuan inserted the hilt of the tiger's head back into the sheath, and reached out to help the old man sit on the head of the bed, and the latter continued to laugh.

"Don't Your Majesty, Your Majesty, around..... They are all palace maids and eunuchs, and there are no ministers, so today you will be called Uncle Me. ”

"Auntie..... Father. ”

This title has not been called for a long time since Yang Jian ascended to the Great Treasure, and the originally familiar words were gently called out of his mouth, and his voice trembled a little.

"Your Majesty!"

At this time, the voice of a eunuch outside the palace gate sounded: "The prince is here." ”

"Let him in. ”

Yang Jian patted the nephew's hand beside him: "You grew up with Amour, in the future, you will help him more, if you can't listen to the advice, find a place where no one is around, and make him a beating, it will be regarded as a fight for me." ”

While speaking, the door of the hall opened again, and Yang Guang, who was dressed in regular clothes, had tears on his face, and as soon as he came in, he threw himself in front of the bed and knelt on the ground.

"Father, the son is here. ”

"Just come..... What to do on your knees. Yang Jian asked him to get up and pointed to Li Yuan on the side, "I just talked to Shude about you, and your cousins will help each other in the future." ”

Li Yuan and Yang Guang are a little older than each other, but they can be regarded as growing up in the same yard, and the former plays the role of a brother more often, often buying some street snacks for Yang Guang from outside.

The two cousins standing in front of the bed glanced at each other, more or less remembered some pictures of their childhood, and arched their hands towards the old man on the couch.

"Erchen (minister) will definitely go hand in hand with his cousin (cousin)!"

Yang Jian looked at the two of them, nodded with a smile, and breathed a sigh of relief, the three of them chatted for a while, after Li Yuan went out, there were only two father and son left in the dormitory, the old man was silent for a while, and said: "Early this morning, your father abolished your brother's position as the crown prince, will you feel guilty about your brother in your heart?"

Yang Guang, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, lowered his head slightly, and was extremely surprised when he heard this incident at first, in terms of intelligence, his brother is the crown prince, and he is also conscientious in his reign, at least he has not done any jerk things, which is disappointing, except for a little love of drinking, he loves to get together with literati and elegant guests to chant poetry and paint......

"Actually, Du Zhen's son doesn't hate anyone or like anyone. ”

As if seeing Yang Guang's thoughts, Yang Jian didn't say it directly, reached out and patted the back of his son's hand, and looked at the closed temple door over there.

"It's just that I don't like his hobbies, that's not what an emperor should have, Amour, you have to remember that as an emperor, you can't be too partial to everything, women, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, punishment, power...... Too much affection will indulge in it, and it will breed villains who please you with these things, ruin your virtue, dirty your heart, and blind your eyes. ”

The old man spoke every word slowly, but he also had the strength to teach the successor in front of him.

"Amour...... You have to remember that when you become an emperor, you can't be temperamental anymore, but I can rest assured, with the help of the national teacher, I should be able to restrain one or two, but you must remember that you can't trust too much, and Yue Guogong, he ...... Can't be trusted, the merit is great, the power is heavy, when the father is there, he can suppress him, he obeys the father, but once he is not there, his ambition will breed, whether you can suppress it or not, it depends on your ability. ”

Born in the emperor's family, Yang Guang knew these things more or less, but when he heard what his father said, his face was somewhat shocked, "The national teacher has a gentle temperament, it shouldn't be, but the prince of Yue Guogong ...... He was killed in the life and death of his father, and he can't be trusted?"

"Huh. ”

Yang Jian laughed, waved his hand, raised his hand with difficulty, and pointed to the dragon robe spread out on the shelf hanging in the corner: "Because it's the emperor." ”

The hand hung down and landed on the side of the silk futon, and the old man breathed a sigh of relief.

“..... I still have a lot of things to do, and the Grand Canal planned in my heart can be measured, and these things that benefit the country and the people and establish a hundred generations of inheritance will be handed over to you....... Must do well, but ..... Don't rush and waste people's power, you can complete it in your lifetime and ......"

"Yes, Erchen wrote it down. ”

Yang Guang gave up his hand in response, and shook his hand at the old man leaning on the bedside: "What my father still wants to say, I can't finish it for a day and a night, I'm a little sleepy, you go out, take care of your mother, her life, in fact, is harder than ordinary women, I still owe her." ”

The words with phlegm gradually stopped, the old man leaned on the wooden pillow and gradually fell asleep, Yang Guang covered the quilt for him, bowed down and quietly exited the palace door, outside, in the red glow, the civil and military officials were neatly dressed, and they were already waiting here.

The sun is setting.

Birds and birds flew over the city tower, outside the east gate of Chang'an, the soldiers who checked the entrance and exit of the city gate looked at the sky, isolated the people and merchants who still wanted to enter and exit, and the moment the city gate was closed, far away, a smoke and dust came quickly along the official road, and the soldiers on the city tower were scared to ring the bell and drum.

Son hum~~

A donkey screamed, and the smoke and dust rolled to one side, revealing a scholar in a green shirt and white robe, who turned over, and there was a Taoist priest behind him, covering his mouth and stumbling off the back of the donkey, with the bookshelf compartment on the side, the small door was pushed open, and a big toad jumped down, and squatted on the side of the road with the Taoist 'wow' vomit.

"National ..... National Teacher ......"

The sharp-eyed soldier recognized who the scholar on the donkey was, and hurriedly ran to the other side of the wall and roared downward: "Open the city gate, the national teacher wants to enter the city!!"

Rumble~~~

More than a dozen soldiers pulled, the winch turned, slowly opened the city gate, let out a heavy groan, Lu Liangsheng called the Taoist and the master who wiped their mouths, and under the curious sight of the soldiers on both sides, stepped into the city, and did not stop for a moment towards the imperial city.

......

It was dark and the palace was brightly lit.

The old man who was asleep woke up again, and when he saw the woman sitting on the edge of the bed with red eyes, he stretched out his hand and scraped the corner of her eye.

"Queen, what time is it?"

"When I first arrived. ”

"I slept for three hours before I knew it, and it felt like I hadn't slept enough. ”

Yang Jian still had a smile on his face, wiped the tears on his wife's cheeks, said a few words, and looked at the palace gate, which was quiet outside, without any sound.

"Queen, national teacher..... Are you back?"

"I'm back, I'm on my way here. ”

Dugu Jialuo actually didn't know if Yang Su had found Lu Liangsheng, and right now, he could only comfort his husband like this, and as soon as he finished speaking, a voice sounded outside.

"Your Majesty, Minister Lu Liangsheng is back. ”

Those words were like a spring breeze blowing into the closed doors and windows, which made the old man's spirits suddenly lift, and his face was flushed with red tides, and he could sit up by himself without the support of the queen.

"National teacher, come in quickly!"

The old man called out in a high-pitched voice.

The woman on the side looked puzzled, looked left and right, and her heart thumped, because she didn't hear anything at all.

Your Majesty, are you having auditory hallucinations?
