Golden Stage

Let Emperor Yuantai entrust Beiyan with military power, make an exception and send him into the palace, and even use him as the emperor's spokesperson in the Yinghua Palace to check and balance several princes-this is not just reuse, it is almost as good as half of his own family people.

Fu Shen doubted: "Actually, you are the emperor's own son, right?"

Yan Xiaohan laughed, and teased him on purpose: "If I'm really His Majesty's son, your Fu family will have two concubines."

Fu Shen: "..."

Yan Xiaohan picked up the pot and refilled himself a cup of tea, put away his joking expression, and said seriously: "Jingyuan, do you know who the emperor trusts the most?"

Fu Shen said without hesitation: "He himself."

Yan Xiaohan originally planned to analyze it with him in a serious and serious manner, but was amused by Fu Shen's answer.He clearly felt that the dark shadow cast on his heart by the past was slowly fading away, it seemed that even a big matter could be laughed off in front of this person.

"Except for himself?" Yan Xiaohan asked.

Fu Shen was really caught up in the question.

Emperor Yuantai was so suspicious. He didn't believe in military generals with military power in his hands, brothers who were related by blood, sons who stared at the throne, and civil servants who secretly stood in line. an available person.The corner of Fu Shen's mouth twitched, and he thought that Emperor Yuantai, the emperor, was really a loner.

Yan Xiaohan said leisurely: "Compared to civilian officials, he trusts military generals more; compared to the generals stationed on one side, he trusts those under his nose. So compared to you, he trusts me more."

Fu Shen raised his hand to slap him, but Yan Xiaohan smiled, grabbed his hand, and shook it lightly: "The Flying Dragon Guard and the Beiya Imperial Army have always been his trump cards. The five major Beijing camps are next, because the Beijing camp Admiral Wang Zhen is a lone official who doesn't stand in line. The imperial city soldier Ma Si can't do it. And the king of Xiping County, he has been quiet and not in the limelight all these years, the emperor is more at ease with the old minister."

The person he mentioned, Fu Shen, was of course no stranger.There are rumors in the world that there are "Pillars of the Four Kingdoms", that is, the four most famous generals guarding all sides of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Battalion Commander Wang Zhen.

Wang Zhen has always been a low-key person, even more low-key than Duan Guihong - the king of Xiping County is not well-known in the capital because he is located in a remote place and news is difficult to get through.Wang Zhen was stationed at Xishan, not far from the capital, and for so many years, he hadn't made any noise.Many people only know Jingying, and when it comes to the admiral of Jingying, they have to rack their brains for a while to think of the name.

However, it was the Beiyan iron cavalry, the five major capital battalions, and the Imperial City Imperial Army that formed the triple barrier to guard the capital.

"So?" Fu Shen asked, "What do you want to explain?"

"A person who can gain the emperor's trust must not take credit, not stand in line, and keep a low profile. It is best to be a veteran," Yan Xiaohan asked with a smile, "Haven't you thought of it?"

Fu Shen gave up: "You say."

Yan Xiaohan said, "Eunuch."

Fu Shen's first reaction was to look down and glance at Yan Xiaohan's lower body: "No, it's quite normal, isn't it?"

Yan Xiaohan: "..."

It took Fu Shen a while to realize that he was thinking wrong, and he raised his hands to cover his face in embarrassment.Yan Xiaohan suppressed a smile, grabbed the armrest of the wheelchair and pulled him in front of him. The two of them were knee to knee, and he said solemnly: "Don't be ashamed, we're both old couples, there's nothing to be ashamed of... Take your hands off "Master Hou, when are you going to test whether I am normal or not?"

Fu Shen gritted his teeth and said: "I plan to let you try the family law first."

Yan Xiaohan laughed out loud, Fu Shen held on for a while, but couldn't help laughing: "...No serious stuff, this is serious business, get up for me."

"Do you still remember Duan Linglong?" Yan Xiaohan laughed enough, and still held him stickily, refusing to let go, "At that time, you hadn't entered the court, and you hadn't seen him covering the sky with one hand. Emperor's heart, honor and favor will never fade."

"Eunuchs have no children. When they entered the palace since childhood, their only reliance was the emperor's favor, so Duan Linglong is truly loyal to the emperor. If there is anyone in this world that the emperor has ever trusted wholeheartedly, he is the only one." Yan Xiaohan said, "Maybe no one will believe it, but when Duan Linglong passed away, His Majesty did shed tears for him."

"After I was born, I was abandoned at the gate of Vientiane Temple. Vientiane Temple is a royal monastery, and there are concubines who have become monks and practiced. They are accompanied by the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng all the year round. Raised in the temple."

"The Vientiane Temple does not allow the common people to enter. They guessed that some court lady might have an illegitimate child. They were worried that they would not be able to support them when they were born, and they couldn't be cruel enough to strangle me to death, so they sent me to the Vientiane Temple. Life and death are up to fate. So I don't It may be the blood of the Tian family, the emperor believes in me purely because my adoptive father is Duan Linglong."

Fu Shenting's heart tightened, he hesitated for a moment, and raised his hand to pat the back of his hand lightly.

Yan Xiaohan: "Duan Linglong has a relationship with a nun in the temple, and often goes to and from the Wanxiang Temple in private. He heard that an abandoned baby was picked up in the temple, and he couldn't keep his incense, so he recognized me as his adopted son. I was fooled by him." I have been teaching for many years, and martial arts are also taught by him, until I was 17 years old, he directly brought me into the imperial army."

Over the years, Yan Xiaohan has been criticized the most for two points. One is that he acts strangely and has cruel methods.Furthermore, he worshiped the eunuch as his adoptive father, and was accused of clinging to power and traitors with evil intentions.

Even if Fu Shen hadn't cared about the rumors about him for a long time, he couldn't help sighing "that's how it is".

He pulled Yan Xiaohan into his arms in a not-so-gentle manner, but he felt that everything he said seemed pale and feeble, and all kinds of feelings turned into unspeakable distress.I can't wait to go back to the past and hug that still immature boy like this.

Yan Xiaohan let him hold her, and said softly, "Don't pity me."

"Well, it's not pitiful." Fu Shen said, "Then allow me to love you? Since I can't be a princess, you have to honestly be Mrs. Jingninghou for me, okay?"

Yan Xiaohan smiled silently, and continued: "The emperor knew about Duan Linglong and that nun, so he naturally knew about me too. When Duan Linglong was seriously ill, he made me swear before his sick bed that he would never leave any children in this life, and that he would never leave any children in this life. Report to the king. After his death, the emperor will promote me to be the imperial inspector of Feilongwei."

Although Yan Xiaohan is not of the Tian family's blood, he was almost raised by the emperor. His background determined that he would naturally be isolated by the civil servants, and he was the heir taught by Duan Linglong himself. Of course, Emperor Yuantai dared to use him with confidence.

"Why did you agree to him?" Fu Shen asked, "If you don't enter Feilongwei, you can still live well. There are thousands of roads in the world, why do you have to choose the most difficult one?"

Yan Xiaohan asked back: "That year when the Eastern Tatars invaded the border, why did you allow them to go to the battlefield?"

Fu Shen said: "Is that what I want? I was forced."

Yan Xiaohan was silent for a long time, then seemed to have made up his mind, and said with great difficulty: "There is a person, I may never be able to stand by his side in my life, but I can keep him in my heart, look at him from a distance, and occasionally say a few words. In a word, it’s fine as it is.”

Fu Shen didn't know what he was going to say next, but he seemed to have a premonition, and his heart beat wildly.

"But later, he was forced to go to the front line in northern Xinjiang."

Fu Shen's mind went blank.

It seems to be expected, but completely unexpected,

"Everyone knows that the war is dangerous, and this trip is bound to never return, and none of the princes in the court stepped forward to stop this terrible errand for him." Yan Xiaohan said, "That's when I realized that even Xiao Xiang is not qualified to speak lightly."

He laughed at himself: "So it doesn't matter if you are infamous, or you don't have children, as long as you can climb up, I can promise anything."

"Stop talking..." Fu Shen's chest heaved violently, holding him down with one hand, and said in a hoarse voice, "Brother Yan, I understand, stop talking..."

"It's okay, it's all in the past." Yan Xiaohan got up and hugged him, and gently followed his tense back, "I just got to this point. It was originally my own will, so you don't have to feel sorry for me. Don’t feel burdened either. Being able to get to where I am today proves that I made the right choice back then.”

"If I had known..."

Yan Xiaohan imagined the scene: "If you know, I'm afraid they will gather a group of dudes and beat me to death on the spot."

Back then, when we passed by the city gate and caught a glimpse, he casually dropped a sprig of fennel, but brought out his life's longing and sweetness.

Common adversity under the cliff, unexpected quarrels, breakups, and reconciliations... In the past seven years, they have been far away and everywhere, and they walked toward each other from two distant ends.He once thought that walking side by side was hard to hope for in his life, but at this moment it became within reach.

"When you went to the battlefield, I couldn't do anything," Yan Xiaohan comforted, "Fortunately, I became an imperial envoy later on. When the emperor bestowed a marriage on you, I was the first thing that the emperor considered. You see, this is what Jingcheng said. To, gold and stone are opened."

"..." Fu Shen couldn't help being serious: "What if the emperor doesn't grant the marriage?"

Yan Xiaohan looked at him and smiled: "Master Hou, I'm not an upright gentleman like you. Since I've worked my ass off to become an imperial inspector, even if the emperor doesn't allow it, I'll have to snatch you back by force. If you don’t harm Zhongliang, how can you be worthy of everyone in the world?”

Fu Shen knew that he was talking nonsense as soon as he heard it, but he still felt distressed, so he raised his hand and tapped him on the back: "You have such a good face in vain, why are you so determined?"

Yan Xiaohan said leisurely: "When I see that Fu Lang missed his life, what can I do?"

What he didn't say was hidden in the gentle gaze when he smiled.

If Emperor Yuantai hadn't bestowed the marriage, Yan Xiaohan probably wouldn't have been able to do such things as robbing Marquis Jingning by force, and he might have spent his whole life pretending to be in the same position as a stranger.

When I saw Fu Lang, I missed my life.Fu Shen can miss his life, but he cannot miss Fu Shen's life.

"Okay." Yan Xiaohan let go of him, and was about to step back, when suddenly his body froze, and someone grabbed him by the collar out of thin air.

"I'm really sorry for delaying your life." Fu Shen relaxed and leaned back, with a twitch of his mouth, and said generously, "Come on, you can come back by mistake now."
