Don't go down if you have a kind [Rebirth]

Turning around, he saw the emperor's nephew hugging a torn blanket.

Well, anyway, there are a bunch of unclear questions on both ends.I turned to follow the nephew.Xiao Guan came out from the next room and gave me a bleak smile.

I was startled, thinking that something had happened again, I subconsciously looked at the emperor's nephew.The emperor's nephew just glanced at Xiao Guan and said: "When Song Fei arrives with his army tomorrow, order a team to catch up with the old general above and help defend the cities in Cangnan."

Xiao Guan resigned in response.

It was only when I entered the room that I realized where Brother Huya's bleak smile came from.Opposite the door is a big bunk about ten meters long. The bedding has been swept away, leaving only bare stone bed boards. From the degree of wear and tear of the bed boards, it can be seen that this big bunk has been shared by ten people for a long time.And each "pit position" is crookedly engraved with a sentence.

Some of them are "If you don't break Loulan, you will never return it."

Some are "the sound of snow leans against the bamboo, and the cold dream never leaves home".

Some of them are "surrounded by the north and south of the Yangtze River all my life, and come back with a beautiful face. The cloth quilt is autumn night and dreams, and there are thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in front of me."

……

My nephew and I are relatively emotional.

The emperor's nephew spread out the quilt that Xiao Guan brought in, added his torn blanket, turned around to close the door and window, and said with a slight smile: "Old General Fang must be 'lying at the end of the night and listening to the wind and rain'."

I took off my boots and sat on the edge of the couch: "Can you compare with your Liangzhou army? This level of education is unmatched by the twelve princes of the eight states."

The imperial nephew twisted a hot water towel and handed it to me: "They were all young soldiers from the Tiqi Battalion in Kyoto, and their family is rich in scholars, so they can afford a teacher."

I wiped my face: "Tiqi is usually a point general. When did the whole army come out? It's so miserable."

He took the cloth towel after I wiped my face, turned around and wrung it out again, and used it himself: "I wanted to talk to Uncle on the way, but Uncle didn't come with me. Fang Yelan's cavalry army used to follow me Father...that is, the old prince went to war. In the battle of Cangbei 20 years ago, King Qin colluded with Northern Qiang to leak the military plan, which caused the prince and the general Jiang Fang to fall into the enemy line at the same time. The prince sent Fang Yelan to lead this army to support Jiang Fang. But it was too late When they arrived, Jiang Dafang’s army had already been killed in Xiaoguan. Since then, they have been stationed at Xiaoguan. After the prince’s downfall, they were transferred to Jin Wang’s army. That's why Mr. Fang is so poor here."

I pulled my shoes and rinsed my mouth, fetched some water to wash my feet, and sat back on the edge of the couch: "I've heard about this, the elder brother of the crown prince led the troops to feint to attack Changhe Pass, and Jiang Fang led his light cavalry to rush out of Xiao Pass to surprise the people behind the Qiang People's Congress. 'Dama' Grassland. Unexpectedly, both sides encountered the army of the Three Qiang Alliance at the same time. The imperial court could only mobilize the reinforcements nearby, and finally sent them to save the prince. Jiang Fang was ignored. At that time, my father was in my mother's harem, frontline battle report Straight in, the people from the military department urged the father to make a quick decision on which one to save, the father was so anxious that he almost lost his breath, what can we do, we can't ignore the prince, right? It's a pity that Jiang Fang's generation of famous generals..."

The imperial nephew also finished rinsing his mouth, sat on the edge of the couch, took off his boots and socks, and put his feet directly into my footwashing water: "No one can swallow this breath. Later, the crown prince had a private conversation with the king of Northern Qiang in order to expose the fact that the king of Qin leaked the military plan. Negotiations, saying that they are willing to exchange the ten cities in the north of Yunzhou for the Daxing Marching Map that the King of Qin gave to the Northern Qiang..."

The water basin was not big, so I was taken aback by King Liang's actions, my calf stiffened into two wooden stakes, and I couldn't even speak fluently: "So... so the prince was caught by King Qin and suffered One bite back, and the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason... why are your feet so cold?"

While taking off his dusty coat, he said, "There is snow under the sentry tower at the end of the west, and the boots are wet."

I took out my feet: "Well, then you can soak for a while. I will warm the bed first."

There was only an oil lamp by the bed in the room, and the darkness outside was spreading across the wilderness. The cold wind whizzed through the stone cracks in the hundred-mile city wall, and suddenly my heart felt like a drum beating.

The sound of this damned drum almost broke my unsteady ribs when the emperor's nephew climbed onto the couch and burst out of my chest.Little bastard.I cursed my heart secretly, turned over and rolled on the other side of the quilt: "Okay, you can sleep there."

The emperor's nephew untied the hair crown, lay down against my back, and said: "Wait a while, I'm very warm. It's cold at night. Uncle Fourteenth, come to sleep."

I bluffed and said, "My body is also very warm. I never need Mrs. Tang to sleep in winter."

The emperor's nephew chuckled behind my back and said, "Although I haven't enjoyed the blessing of being an emperor's grandson for a few days, I know that there are maids in the palace to warm my uncle's bed before going to bed in winter."

I don't like to hear these words anymore, and I retorted: "What are you talking about, have you never seen what's going on in Uncle's palace? Candied cakes and candied fruit hurt you for nothing, and they are going to be released to marry."

The emperor's nephew was "shivering to keep warm" beside him, and after a while, he seemed to be really warmed up, and even his voice became soft and soft: "Isn't the emperor going back to Beijing?"

"I won't be able to go back for a while," he mentioned it, and there was some chatting, and I turned over stiffly, "My master is dead, and the Jiang family is afraid that they will be scattered. Whoever catches me right now, that's called It has a bright future. Let me ask you, you have a phoenix gold hairpin, where did it come from?"

"!?" He turned to me with an innocent look on his face.

"Don't hide anything from me," I pointed to the next wall, "Wei Pei came here for this reason. When my master died, he had a bead carved with worms on his hand, and there was also a bead carved with worms on the golden hairpin. Wei Pei also said that his teacher also received something with this kind of worm pattern, and his teacher is also dead, do you know who his teacher is? It's your grandfather, Zhang Ji, a former academician of the Imperial Academy! This matter is very important, you ..."

"Yes... it was given to me by my great-grandmother." He looked at me, closed his eyes suddenly, and stumbled, "I won't hide anything from you, as long as you want to hear... During the first year when the East Palace was sealed off, I The nurses, wet nurses, maids, and eunuchs around me died one after another. They all died for me. Every day, people tried every means to send me to see my parents. Until one day, She came to the East Palace, carrying a golden crown, disheveled hair, walking like a ghost at night..."

I'm surprised.The nephew's eyelids twitched, and the cinnabar grain the size of a pinpoint also twitched, and I couldn't help reaching out and pressing it lightly: "The soil of the Huangling Mausoleum has been rammed firmly, just a crazy old lady, there is nothing I can do now .”

He suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyelashes swept across my fingertips. I wanted to retract my hand, but he grabbed my wrist.His eyes were pitch black, like two translucent and moist colored glass beads.At the beginning of my previous life, I only thought that his eyes were clear and clear, and he seemed to be an intelligent and honest child, worthy of being wooed.Later, when his renunciation gradually grew, he felt that he was "pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger", and his unpredictable eyes made him fearful.But at this time, the world is different, and I can feel a hint of "Tao is ruthless but has emotion" from his eyes, which is quite new.

I ran away for a while, and found that he was also staring at me... We both felt a little embarrassed.

Maybe both of us are indeed "small stoves". Together, the temperature in the air is slightly higher.I quickly broke the silence: "And then? She..."

"She asked me if I wanted to live." He swallowed, his voice tensed, "I... didn't want to. But I just met you the day before."

I'm actually not impressed.

His expression suddenly relaxed, and he even continued with a chuckle: "You suddenly fell from the wall, and the assorted dried fruits in your pocket spilled all over the floor. You ordered the eunuchs who were bullying me to pick them up for you." Dried fruit, I felt sorry for my remaining half bag, and then I raised my eyes and saw me. After you glanced at me, you turned around and looked at the ass/ass of several eunuchs, and kicked each of them. Let them go."

I vaguely remembered that a few eunuchs from the Defei Palace bullied others and went to the ruined palace to bully the children.

His palms were slightly sweaty, and he rubbed against the pulse on my wrist: "Then you came back to look at me again, reluctantly parted ways, and stuffed me with the remaining half bag of dried fruits, and said, let me I'll keep it for you, and you can pick it up tomorrow."

"I was afraid that if I turned around, they would snatch yours," I interjected, "Which candy can be kept in the bear's hands until the next morning, I actually let you eat them. "

He lowered his eyes slightly and smiled: "I thought you were telling the truth and didn't dare to eat it. You didn't come the next day, so I thought you forgot, so when my great-grandmother asked me if I wanted to live, I thought about it hidden under the pillow. That package of assorted dried fruits, I think what if you come tomorrow. I said I didn’t want to die, but she threw the golden hairpin to me and left in a frenzy. Within a few days, an old eunuch came to the East Palace to report. Said he was sent to watch over me."

"What happened to the package of dried fruit?" I was very curious about King Liang's self-control.

He raised his eyes and curled the end of his eyes: "You haven't come, I think you may have completely forgotten, or you already have other dried fruits, so you ate them."

...not so much.I flinched at the bottom of the quilt: "Well. This way I understand that if the gold hairpin was given to you by your grandmother, then the mayfly golden bead should have been given to your grandmother by someone else. That is to say, someone may want to kill your grandmother, but probably I missed it. But... why did grandma give you the gold hairpin again? The old eunuch was supposed to be sent by grandma, and he was really looking after you? Then why did grandma seem to want to kill you again when my father died?"

He followed me and shrank back: "The golden hairpin was given to me as a warning. The people sent here are indeed looking after me. After the emperor died, he killed me to keep your throne stable."

I understand, grandma is holding the emperor's nephew as a hostage.But the problem is that not everyone is qualified to take on the status of "hostage".First of all, you have to be an individual, and secondly, you have to be "redempted" by someone.Little beggars on the street who are ignored or asked are rarely reduced to protons.The situation of the emperor's nephew in those years was not much worse than that of a beggar, so who was the grandmother threatening with him?

"Uncle Fourteen," he looked at me quietly, "I... have a group of people behind me, I don't know who they are, and I don't know what their purpose is. But if great-grandmother thinks that these people don't want me to die, Then at least they can be controlled. I would give my life to you."

"..." I couldn't bear to look at him, and looked away, "Could it be the Xue family?"

"The Xue family is indeed at odds with the Empress Dowager, but they have a deep friendship with Mr. Jiang and Taifu Zhang, and they will not kill them. Besides, the Xue family, Jiang Xian, Jiang Fang, and Zhang Ji were all princes/children/party. "

I understand this in my heart. When the prince was still alive, the whole court could be roughly divided into two parties: the prince/son/dang and the Qin royal party.The three main forces of the prince/son/party are the Imperial Academy under the leadership of Xue's relatives, the generals of the Jiang family, and the prince Taifu Zhang Ji.And the main force of the King Qin Party, to put it bluntly, is my grandmother alone.Grandma, an old man, fought against the sky and people, and finally got the throne of the empress dowager. After a few years, she continued to fight for the empress dowager's position.In order not to be kicked out by the prince's faction in the future, she single-handedly trained the king of Qin, and fought with the enemy to death.

Fifteen years ago, when King Qin was defeated and the truth about Jiang Fang collaborating with the prince became clear, the remnants of the prince/son/party were unable to appease their grievances, so it really made sense to kill their grandmother.But now that the elders of the prince/son/party have also been murdered, it doesn't make sense.It can be seen that "mayfly" is not the party/emblem of the old prince/son/party.That is to say, from the time of Prince Qin, there has been a third force called "Mayfly".

The "mayfly" pattern appeared for the first time on my grandmother's gold hairpin, the second time it appeared on the pages of Zhang Ji's book, the third time it was my master's prayer beads, and the fourth time it was the memorial I saw in my previous life .

If there really is such a group of people, then they really can be said to have hands and eyes in the sky.Wei Pei asked me about the Eighth Family of Emperor Wu Dynasty, is it possible that they are still related to the Eighth Family?

"Uncle Fourteen," the imperial nephew called, "don't think too much about it. Soldiers come to block you, and water comes to cover you. At worst, I'll die here with you, and I don't care about what happens next."

That's right, now that I have issued an order to cut down the king, I will follow King Liang's army and push into King Jin's territory.The other princes might have watched the flames from the other side and not meddled, but seeing my master died and the Jiang family collapsed, if they don't come to meddle, they are not like the sons and grandchildren of the Zheng family.After all, the ancestors have taught that a prince who doesn't want to be an emperor is not a good prince.So right now I'm being attacked from all directions, defending in the hollow, and the situation is worse than in my previous life.There is only Liang Wang, if he still thinks I am a good emperor.

Seeing that I didn't speak, he seemed a little apprehensive: "What I said...is sincere, are you...are you worried about other people defecting? Uncle Emperor, I think it's right to cut the king's order. Anyone who has a righteous heart in the court, You all know that you are right, if you dare to do what the late emperor dared not do, as long as you cut down the first banner of King Jin, there will be many people who will respond."

In fact, I was a little confused all the time, and I caught his black eyes and stared at him: "I just gave you a handful of dried fruits... There are many people who are willing to help you, you have many opportunities, and you can also help me." If you are extremely capable, you don't want to... You are actually right. After all, I am just using you. If there is no King Yan and King Jin, there is no mutiny, war, famine, floods and droughts, I may not make you a prince ..."

"You..." There was a hint of surprise in his eyes, "didn't you sleep that night?"

"Yeah," I accidentally said, so I had to confess, "I didn't fall asleep, I heard what you said. You said you killed a few eunuchs and buried them in the flower bed behind Zhengmeng Hall. That's true, uncle. I shouldn't have just kicked them back then. I shouldn't have gone to see you, but it took so long to see you again. Uncle never suffered when he was a child. He has always been the one who is cared for by others, and he has never been considerate of others. , I can't say enough good things about you..."

"If the world is peaceful and the court is stable," he still held my wrist gently, as if he didn't intend to let go, "If Uncle Fourteen doesn't make me a prince, will he still think of me?"

I thought for a while: "I picked a house for you in the capital, and it's all repaired, the only thing missing is a door plaque. I also thought about letting you live a life of luxury and leisure. What's more, you ran away before I said anything, do you know how many catties of medicine I drank because you were so angry that I vomited blood?"

"Uncle, I don't want that house, I don't want to be leisurely and rich," he rubbed his forehead against the back of my hand secretly, "and I don't want power. I stayed in the capital at first because you treated me so well , so good that it made me feel like I was dreaming. Then I went to Liangzhou again because I found that I was a burden. You are in a state of distress every day, and you have to try your best to coax me, just treat me as a three-year-old child. When the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty mentioned me, they would only think of the old case of the East Palace, the Xue family, and the kings seizing power. I can’t hide in the palace forever and live in a dream. Besides, if I’m useless all the time, you won’t treat me That's good."

... It has to be said that King Liang is not only good at secretly pampering and arrogant, but also very good at acting like a baby secretly.And probably because he spends more time in private with me in this life and is more familiar with me, he talks more in front of me, and from time to time he will pop out a few shocking "sweet words".

In the face of the enemy's sugar-coated bullets, revolutionaries need iron will to stick to the high ground of faith-I restrained my urge to touch the emperor's nephew's face, and snorted the top of his hair instead.
