Bastards

The night wind was sparse, everything was quiet, there was the sound of a dripping glass, one, and another.

Cui Yu leaned over the table, his eyebrows and eyes stretched, his pen was swimming like a dragon and snake, his thoughts were clear, like the dark blue starry sky washed by water outside the window.

He knew Yang Xuan's mood, knew what this brat was worried about, what he was wary of, what he was thinking of, and even wanted to show off to him the pride and desire to be praised, and suddenly heard the fear and fear related to marriage in his words...

He knows it all.

So in the letter, he first affirmed Yang Xuan.

For example, Yang Xuan performed very well this day, not moving for profit, not being obsessed with lust, not being fascinated by women, not being restrained by family affection, Yang Xuan showed the arrogance that a prince should have, with an always-on IQ, and a poisonous tongue It's a great job to piss off the imperial concubine, and it didn't cause any more trouble for my side!

Still a little impatient.

The following is slightly changed, starting with "you probably guessed it too", to interpret the behavior of Concubine Tian today.

Concubine Tian Gui has been able to go all the way to the present, and her position is stable. I also know that this woman is not only a woman who only pretends to be tender and pitiful, but only competes for favor in the harem. She has a deep scheming heart.As the crown prince, Yang Xuan was the biggest obstacle standing in front of her son. The two stood opposite each other, and there was no possibility of reconciliation. Those appearances of tenderness and caring were all fake.

A man's desire is nothing more than a few general directions, wine, sex, wealth, power, plus a word of gambling, Tian Guifei didn't want to have a long life, so she came up to hold a banquet in person, and wanted to find out what Yang Xuan was like as soon as possible. Know his temperament, what are his shortcomings, and where are his weaknesses, so that he can formulate a suitable attack method.

Cui Yu believes that Yang Xuan will not be confused by Tian Guifei's sweet words in the name of caring. Yang Xuan is already 17 years old. At this age, only the most stupid people will use obvious means of flattery. Tian Guifei probably has no hope for this. Those who care about being nice and talkative are half a habit, and half are made for Emperor Taikang to see. Of course it’s good if Yang Xuan can be coaxed, she doesn’t have to worry about it. ...

Cui Yu gave Yang Xuan a step-by-step analysis of what happened today, such as the maids who supplemented according to the regulations, yes, half of the temptations of Concubine Arita were hers, but it did not rule out that there were others, such as The king of Yue, such as Emperor Taikang, could not only focus on Concubine Tian Guifei; for example, the dancing girl, although Cui Yu did not see the real person, but according to the news description, this beauty was incredible. Kangdi Yuewang Changwang Pingjun Wang, how can Tian Guifei be [-]% sure that this move can only test the prince, but not affect these three people?Emperor Taikang might be coaxed by Concubine Tian to death, so he wouldn't take the concubine's face off, what about the two of Yuechang?Does this performance mean that they are not lecherous?

The appearance of Princess Fu'an, it is obvious that Princess Fu'an has taken a fancy to the prince, but without Concubine Tian Gui to help the flames, she is a princess with a different surname, so it is impossible for her to have such great power. She thought that Yang Xuan could not lose Rational; another example is Gao Gonggong...

Halfway through the letter, Cui Yu said: You may wonder why Tian Guifei didn't take the opportunity to kill you.

This question is not difficult.

After a hundred years of war, the world finally established a dynasty under the leadership of Emperor Yuwen, hoping for peace, but all the sons of Emperor Yuwen died, and the Yang family won the dynasty.From a courtier to an emperor, no matter how peaceful the means are, they still conspired to usurp the throne. The dragon chair of the Yang family is not very stable.If Yang Xuan’s grandfather, Yang Meng, had lived longer and various policies had been rolled out, it might have been better, but he left too early, Taikang Emperor Yang Yan followed Yang Meng’s national policy after he came to power. Although there is still a peaceful style, there are still dangers everywhere. If one is not careful, a gun goes off, and a single spark starts a prairie fire, and it will be another chaotic world.

Therefore, Yang Xuan's crown prince position is so important.Not only the blood of the Yang family was shed on his body, but also half of the blood of the Yuwen family.

In the early years, Emperor Yuwen conquered the world, and the generals from all over the world obeyed him. Yang Meng was also one of them. Everyone knew him well. he?

Even if Yang Xuan himself has half of the Yuwen family's blood flowing, if he doesn't show this part of talent in the future, others will probably be dissatisfied.

Concubine Tian Gui can clearly see the future situation. She wants her son to be in the position. She and her son should have no stains, but Yang Xuan must have stains!If there was an 'accident' outside before, that would be the best, if not, he walked in front of her, and he couldn't die so quickly and simply, because once he died, the focus of suspicion would be on Concubine Tian Gui. .

It is not easy to pull down the prince. Concubine Tian Gui wants to seek the success of King Yue, and there are many things that need to be avoided.Although she hasn't discovered the complete and true nature of the prince now, she should have a preliminary plan for it. She has it, why doesn't the prince have one?

The best defense is offense. On their side, it's time to counterattack...

Cui Yu also reminded Yang Xuan not to underestimate Emperor Taikang.

It is true that Concubine Tian is the only one favored by Harem Concubine Tian, ​​and she has gained a lot of convenience. Emperor Taikang is willing to follow her in many things, as if this Da'an is not his, but Concubine Tian's... Is this really the case?

If this is the case, how come Concubine Tian Gui has not rebelled, and the King of Yue has not ascended the throne yet?

Judging from the mansion reports over the years, the promotion of national policies, and the government of the people, Emperor Taikang is not as wise as the previous emperor, but he is not lacking in abilities.In the current situation, is Emperor Taikang doing it on purpose, or Concubine Tian Guifei saw Emperor Taikang's intentions and pushed the boat along with the current to become like this...

Cui Yu thinks that Yang Xuan should seriously think about it.

In the past, they were far away, and they couldn't see clearly because of the mountains and rivers. Now that he has walked in front of the two of them, if he still can't see clearly, he can only blame himself for his incompetence.

……

Lan Qiao looked at his young master's figure in front of the desk, he was beautiful, as always, pleasing to the eye, his young master, everything looks good!But I still feel a little distressed, I have worked so hard in the middle of the night, and I don't sleep, so I have nothing to worry about... The prince is not considerate, he didn't say anything nice, and even quarreled with the young master!

Just thinking about it makes me feel aggrieved and depressed!

Mu Tong broke Lan Qiao's tightly clenched little paws, and laughed at him: "It's useless if you get angry. The master is the prince's man, so naturally he thinks wholeheartedly for the prince. If you have the time, why don't you ask the chef if there is something suitable for you?" For midnight snack, take it for the master to eat."

Lan Qiao glared at Mu Tong angrily: "I knew it, you are the ones from the same line, you are crazy and domineering, like coyotes, you hate it!"

"Huh?" Mu Tong poked his ears, very innocently, "Why did you scold me too?"

Lan Qiao bared his teeth and stomped his feet at him: "Hmph!"

After ignoring others, Gu Zi ran to the kitchen.

……

At the end of the letter, Cui Yu assigned Yang Xuan a task, three things that must be done.

First, Concubine Tian Gui had made a clear statement in front of Emperor Taikang that the issue of the East Palace was very sensitive, and Yang Xuan could not take the initiative to fight for the East Palace, nor was she allowed to deliberately make plans not to live in the East Palace and live outside.He has a plan, if Yang Xuan is disobedient and let him lose the plan, he will never forgive Yang Xuan!

Second, keep the current human settings.The prince is only 17 years old, still young, there are some flaws, it’s okay, everyone can rest assured if there are deficiencies, too perfect will make people afraid to approach, but this degree must be grasped well.You can be a bear, you can be upright and righteous, but you can't be stupid.When you want others to mention it, there is a little bit of regret that can be made up in the satisfaction and yearning, and you can't let people just shake their heads and say no.

When facing the imperial concubine, you can continue to follow the habit from last time, it doesn't matter if you go straight, she dare not do it.If she is tortured so badly, she will not always want to meet with interviewers. She is the most sensitive in the palace, and if they don't meet, Yang Xuan's temper will be less exposed.

Thirdly, if his guess is correct, Concubine Tian Gui might use the death of the dancing girl to slowly give the prince a 'cool' reputation.But the reputation spread too quickly and it was too fake, so in terms of this time operation, it could range from more than ten days to as long as one month.In addition to moderate precautions, one must also actively prepare to deal with it, for example, you can use the eunuch Shi Fu who has always been by your side, or the newcomer to the palace...

At the end of the letter, Cui Yu reminded Yang Xuan not to underestimate the battlefield of the imperial palace. It is not inferior to Zhangye facing the Turkic attack. It is necessary to keep calm, rational, and not conceited or inferior. He believes that Yang Xuan Excellent, will be able to play very well!

If the above things are done, there will be special rewards, if not...hehe.

After finishing writing the thick letter, Cui Yan asked Mu Tong to summon Yichen, and said in a deep voice: "Send it to Jiayin, and tell him not to hand it over to the prince immediately, until the prince can't stay in the palace anymore, and wants to go out of the palace to find him. I will give him the letter again."

Although Yichen didn't understand why this arrangement was made, he was always convinced by Cui Yu: "Yes!"

……

On the second day, a courtier remonstrated that since the prince had already returned to the palace, please stay in the East Palace.

Of course, this was not guided by Cui Yu and Yang Xuan, but the court officials themselves had responsibilities. It is one thing to ask the emperor not to allow many things to be brought up, but it is another thing if they didn't see it and didn't bring it up.But since someone mentioned it, Yang Xuan's people wouldn't watch it, so they naturally wanted to add fuel to the flames.

This matter had already been discussed within the family, so Emperor Taikang used Concubine Tian's previous excuse that the East Palace had not been inhabited for a long time and needed repairs.

Everyone looked at the prince.

Yang Xuan followed the plan, kept his eyes on his nose, his nose and his heart, remained silent, did not resist, did not get angry...

The Lord didn't say anything, and they didn't follow suit, but shook their heads inwardly, feeling sorry for the prince.

There is Concubine Tian in the harem, and there is King Chang of Yue in the court. Several people have been running the business for many years. There is no place for the prince to stand here... Most officials in the court are not familiar with the prince, and they don’t have much sympathy, but seeing the prince like this, It is inevitable to have the idea of ​​​​angry and indisputable.

But this matter obviously set the tone, and it was not considered a sensitive matter. Those who had nothing to do every day and were happy to fight did not hold back, and rolled up their sleeves and went forward to fight with each other.

The result would not be changed, and the courtiers got over their addiction and came out to chat about a topic.

In Luoyang City, all kinds of news cannot be hidden. This morning, the courtiers and adults had a fight in the Golden Luan Hall, and it spread around [-]:[-] pm. By the second day, everyone knew about it. It's people's voices boiling, and the people are discussing this matter...

Yang Xuan didn't care about these things.

He was slapped by Cui Yu that night, and he regretted it on the way back to the palace.

Who is Cui Mata?If you really want to trick people into stabbing people with a knife, it's worth getting engaged without telling him, what tricks to bully him can't come up with?

Moreover, people like Cui Yu, who are good-looking and smart, seem to have taken up all the aura in the world, what will they lack?If you want money, you can make money, if you want power, you can have power, if you want people to like you, there are a lot of people crying and waiting, but Cui Yu chose him.

In the vast sea of ​​people, as if guided by God, he chose him with unique insight.

Let him be stupid, let him make trouble, let him play tantrums, and I can't bear it. I am willing to lean in his arms, be kissed, touched by him, and even...

Such a proud and intelligent person, willing to befriend him, he didn't even trust him!

How stupid he is!

Not only did he make the rabbit angry, but he also wasted a rare time together... Yang Xuan was very annoyed.But the matter was over, and he turned back again. Losing face is a trivial matter. It doesn't matter if the rabbit is angry and wants to beat him, but what if the rabbit speaks harshly?Do you really want him?

The big picture matters.

Yang Xuan repeated these four words in his heart, and returned to the palace.Thinking of Cui Yu's previous advice, the matter of the East Palace will be settled in ten days and a half months. It has been several days, so within ten days...he should be able to see Cui Yu again!

Thinking of this, my heart itch again, what is the solution?

According to Cui Yu, if he does nothing, when the time comes, his cheap father will beg him to live in the East Palace.What is the timing?How can it be done?

If you can't be upset, Yang Xuan regrets it even more.

I knew it was not noisy!Quarreling is too uncomfortable!

……

Yang Xuan still couldn't hold back the longing in his heart. After ten days and a half months, he couldn't take it anymore after three days. Even if it was afternoon instead of night, he couldn't wait anymore. He began to think about plans, how to sneak out Best, least noticeable?

Just as he was thinking about everything and was about to go outside, the old eunuch Shi Fu stopped him, and took out the thick Cui Yu handwritten letter that Jiayin entrusted him to keep and always carried close to his body.

Yang Xuan was excited when she saw the words on the envelope: "Cui Yu's letter! Why didn't you give it to me sooner!"

Shi Fu copied his hands and smiled wrinkledly: "The message from below is that Master Cui will only give it to you when you can't help but run out someday."

Yang Xuan choked, it must be that Cui Yan expected that he would not stay in the palace obediently, so he deliberately arranged this way!

Recently, Shi Fu has become more and more fond of watching the crown prince suffer. It's really, really cute!

"The old servant has sent the palace people away, Your Highness will take a look." It's a pity that you can't read more, otherwise the prince will be in a hurry.

Yang Xuan jumped to the window and couldn't wait to open the envelope: "Okay, you go down—"

As soon as the words fell, the ground seemed to shake.

Before he could react, the light in front of him dimmed a little.

"How-"

Yang Xuan glanced out, across the sky, and narrowed his eyes sharply: "The dog eats the sun!"

Before he finished speaking, a strong wind hit, blowing away the letter paper that he was not holding firmly under the horror.

Shi Fu was also taken aback, and he didn't leave now. He searched for firecrackers all over the room, and while searching, he muttered: "Your Highness, don't be afraid, but it will be dark for a while, it's okay..."

Although the eclipse of the sun by the dog does not happen often, it is recorded in various books and books. There is no sign before it happens. It is very sudden. Usually, the whole process is not fast. The dog eats the sun slowly, and then slowly Release it……

This is an ominous omen, it is God who can't see it, God's will intervenes and warns, the king has done something wrong!

It made the sky unhappy, and the dog came out to eat the sun. If the mistake was too big, the dog might not let the sun out!

When this kind of thing happened, both the court and the people were extremely panicked, and some people were scared to death on the spot.

Yang Xuan is an out-and-out ancient man, facing this situation, it is impossible for him to say that his mood is calm and not disturbed at all.But he has no time to think about other things now, because the letter Cui Yu wrote to him was blown away!

How about picking it up quickly, what should I do if I can't find it when it's all dark in a while!

If it is obtained with ulterior motives, once the relationship is exposed, Cui Yu will be in danger!

Moreover, this is the first time Cui Yu wrote such a thick letter to him, and he hasn't had time to read it yet!

……

Yang Xuan's side was flying around, but others' side was even more chaotic.

The King of Yue went limp and couldn't even stand up, his face full of panic.

King Ping directly got under the table, shaking like a human.

When Emperor Taikang heard Eunuch Gao say that the dog eats the sun, he threw the cup in his hand to the ground, his eyes trembling and his voice trembling: "Heaven warns...Heaven warns..."

King Chang happened to be in Concubine Tian's palace, and when he heard the movement, he shouted in shock: "Mother Concubine—Mother Concubine—"

Concubine Tian Gui's face was pale, she half hugged King Chang, and tried her best not to shake her voice: "Good boy, Shu'er, my mother is here, my mother is here..."

This process is actually not particularly slow, but for those who are in a state of panic, it takes as long as a lifetime. Those with a firm mind will wake up one step earlier than others and think about future plans one step earlier.

Concubine Tian Gui hugged King Chang and coaxed him softly, perhaps she had her son by her side, although she was afraid, she gradually regained her sanity.

Concubine Tian Gui, who is in a high position and has grown a lot of vision, is very clear about what it means for Tiangou to eat the sun.

Don't talk about others, just talk about herself.She has dominated Emperor Taikang for so many years, and rumors of a "traitorous concubine" have long been spread in the folk court. I don't know how many people outside hate her. Now that this strange appearance has appeared, I am afraid that it will provide these people with a chance...

There is also the king of Yue who is married and has no children. Before the incident of corruption, immorality and insidiousness of his subordinates was exposed, someone attacked him. Now... will it affect it?

Then there is King Chang... She just helped him get the title of prince from the emperor two days ago. King Chang is not yet sixteen, he has never been to the court to practice, and he has never done any decent errands. He became a prince at a young age. Prince, will others attack you with this?

Concubine Tian Gui's mind turned quickly, everything was crucial, life-threatening matters, how could she care about the crown prince?

……

At the time of the solar eclipse, Cui Mata was not at the inn.

Because of his experience in his previous life, Cui Mata had heard about this solar eclipse.When people talked about it, they only said that it was at the beginning of September in the 13th year of Taikang. Those people didn't remember exactly which day.

It is said that the weather during this period was very abnormal, and the solar eclipse came very suddenly. In the past ten days or so, there was also a strange fog.The fog is also very strange. It doesn't exist when the sun is about to come out in the early morning, and then slowly grows a little bit, and then suddenly increases until there is no one on the other side.The fog thickened for a long time, and at the moment of Si, it suddenly broke, and it broke in an instant. After a few breaths, the fog seemed to have grown legs and fled away quickly!

Several time points are very vague, and Cui Yu doesn't know the exact date, but he is clear about the time period between the [-]th of August and the beginning of September. He immediately realized that it was a day of heavy fog, and he was sure that the fog would disperse in an instant, and he used his supernatural ability to sense which direction the wind was the smoothest and the luck was the best, so he and Yang Xuan secretly decided on the "fog-breaking arrow" at that time. plan.

Of course, he had to make use of the solar eclipse, focusing on the matter of 'the crown prince entering the East Palace'. If Emperor Taikang didn't want to admit a bigger mistake, he had to hold his nose and admit this, and invite the crown prince to enter the East Palace.

This operation is not difficult at all. He has already made a plan, but he is not sure when it will be.

He is not afraid of a solar eclipse, but he thinks it would be troublesome to go out on this day, because the ancients would be afraid.But something had to be done, and it was impossible to hide from the solar eclipse and stay in the inn for ten days, so when the word was passed down that Peng Chuanyi's 'account' was delivered, he happily went out to see it.

The so-called account, of course, was his reward for helping Peng Chuanyi.He did what he promised, helped Peng Chuanyi to rehabilitate, and saved Peng Chuanyi's life before. Peng Chuanyi was free, so of course he had to save his family's wealth and send the reward over. The people who help the boss have such great ability to redress the case, how can they afford it!

This gold and silver treasure is quite generous.

Cui Yu had just finished the acceptance inspection, took the babies to the inn, and encountered a solar eclipse while still on the street.

When the solar eclipse came, the people panicked, screaming, crying, and children making noises, and the sound of heavy gongs sounded everywhere, which was very ear-piercing.The carriage couldn't sit in it at all, Cui Yu got out of the carriage with the support of Lan Qiao.

The accident happened in the afternoon, when there were many people on the street, when people were in chaos, accidents happened suddenly.

Those who fell, were injured, were startled, and some people even stepped on the hands and feet of people who fell on the ground when they were in a panic!

"Master, what should we do? The road is blocked, and we can't get through!" Lan Qiao's voice was very anxious.

Cui Yu sighed, and told Mu Tong: "Go ahead, everyone, take care of the people first."

Mu Tong replied yes.

Originally thinking that it would be good to just wait quietly for a while, after this period it would be fine, Cui Yu also pulled Lan Qiao to his side, telling the child not to be afraid.

But for some reason, my heart suddenly flickered, and a very bad feeling came out...

His ability is reminding him that there is danger!
