Three anecdotes

"Are you awake?" Cardinal Jin pressed his sore neck, looking at Shang Chengbi who had already sat up beside the bed.

Shang Chengbi nodded slightly, "Did you sleep well?"

"No, are you going out today? Where are you going?" Cardinal Jin also sat up.

Shang Chengbi suddenly laughed, Cardinal Jin was taken aback.

Shang Chengbi turned his head, pulled him into his arms and gently kissed his sleepy eyes, "I like the way you spoke just now, suddenly seeing the color of willows on the street, I regret teaching my husband to look for a title."

Cardinal Jin pushed him away, "I am not a woman."

Shang Chengbi said, "I have never regarded you as a woman, but I always hope that you are a woman."

Cardinal Jin didn't want to answer any more, and said after washing up, "King Jingbian is here, do you want to see him?"

"Tell him to see you in the afternoon. Let's go." Shang Chengbi seemed very casual.

"Where are you going?" Cardinal Jin asked.

Shang Chengbi originally wanted to tease him, but knowing that Cardinal Jin would definitely be angry again, he just said, "Go to Chu Zhaolie and ask about your illness."

"Why do you go there in person, just call him to ask." Cardinal Jin began to fold the quilt.

Shang Chengbi stood behind him and looked at him quietly, feeling more and more that he could never leave this person again, he was enchanting, charming, affectionate, quiet, he loved every posture.Without Yonghua's painted railings and painted buildings, and groups of palace supervisors to disturb him, this person just paved the quilt that he had enjoyed yesterday as a matter of course, like a virtuous wife. If he can only live another 20 years, then his own What is the meaning of life.

"I will ask in person, and you will go together." He said again.

"That's good, we'll go back sooner when we know the date." Cardinal Jin smoothed out his golden trousers for him, and Shang Chengbi grabbed his hand, "If he can't cure you, I will punish Xigu— —”

Cardinal Jin didn't let him go on, "Life and death are fates. You treated me better when I was alive. After I die, I can be happy with others after a while, and I will be content."

Shang Chengbi suddenly felt dry in his mouth, but Cardinal Jin suddenly smiled. His smile was as bright as the morning glow, filling the room with light, and Shang Chengbi was so dazzled by the brilliance, that he finally said, "Live well, I Will let you see the day you want to see."

Shang Chengbi held his hand and knocked on Chu Yiqing's door. Chu Yiqing had always been drowsy, but he hadn't woken up yet. Cardinal Jin smiled, "I told you to come back later, brother is still asleep."

"Call him up." Shang Chengbi said.As soon as he said this, the guards around him came up to protect him.Cardinal Jin rubbed his palm with his knuckles, "He is my brother after all, just let him go. I love the morning in this valley the most. It is very quiet. I was alone in the past. Today I got up early. You Walk with me."

After all, Shang Chengbi couldn't take his soft words and gentleness, "Okay." The two circled around the Jinghu Lake in the valley, and it was the clear sky and the pleasant wind, even if they were a little unhappy, they were all blown away.

The two walked and talked, and walked far away before they knew it. Cardinal Jin casually grabbed a handful of millet, making the birds chirp, but suddenly heard the sound of fighting.

Over there, Shang Quhan was teaching Jing Shanbo how to practice knives. Hearing the voices, he could guess that Shang Chengbi had arrived. Neither of them wanted to see each other at this moment. When he turned out of the pavilion, he could only see Shang Chengbi's guards, "My lord, the emperor ordered me to do something else this morning, see you in the afternoon."

Jing Shanbo couldn't help but feel unhappy when he saw Shang Quhan kneeling to listen to the order, "He's so arrogant."

"Xiao Ye, don't talk too much!" Jing Shanbo was heartbroken, and went to practice his sword.

Cardinal Jin withdrew his hand on the pulse pillow, "How long will it take for my injury to heal, and I haven't been back for a while."

Shang Chengbi said, "It doesn't matter, your injury will be healed soon, or please invite Mr. Chu to the palace."

Chu Yiqing just wrote, "Both mind and spirit are damaged, and it cannot be cured by medicine and stones. Brother Shang, please restrain yourself."

He wrote these words mercilessly, both Shang Chengbi and Cardinal Jin remembered the happy event last night, and immediately didn't know how to talk about it.Chu Yi rewrote the prescription again, and added a few more herbs. Cardinal Jin became a doctor after a long illness.Shang Chengbi was also a little embarrassed, but Chu Yiqing didn't mean to tease the two of them, and wrote, "Let's leave after three or five days of recuperation. In the future, I will send someone to deliver the medicine." He didn't say much He respects Shang Chengbi, but Shang Chengbi guesses that this person has a cold temperament, and he is also the elder brother of his lover, so he doesn't want to care about it.

In the afternoon, Shang Chengbi still didn't see Shang Qinhan.Shang Yuhan waited outside the court, Shang Chengbi just joked with Cardinal Jin, and unfolded a piece of paper casually, "This is from Uncle Wang, and it was in my hands the day before yesterday. You can take a look."

Cardinal Jin didn't want to be involved in politics at first, but he let himself see that it was Shang Quhan's business, so he couldn't help being curious, picked it up and read it, and couldn't help frowning, "King Jingbian asked to change his son's name."

Shang Quehan nodded.

Cardinal Jin said, "He has become addicted to changing his name. It is said that King Jingbian's original name was Shang Yuanzhi. He changed his name to Que Han because of the death of a woman. Han who shared the meaning, he has always been very infatuated, it is said that Shang Conghuan named the woman Huan because he met in Huanxi, now, does he live up to the name of this kind of love?"

Shang Chengbi shook his head lightly, "There is a reason for this. When my father passed away, the late emperor wanted King Jingbian to succeed him, so he personally made him king and gave him the title Juntian."

Cardinal Jin smiled, "Who doesn't know this story, afterward, he asked Jing to be by himself."

Shang Chengbi nodded, "You only know one thing. In addition to bestowing the word Wang Shujuntian, the late emperor once asked him the name of his youngest son."

Cardinal Jin nodded, "I know, his son, his son's name is Huan, and his name is Fengxing." Cardinal Jin understood it when he said this, "Fengxing is on the water, Huan. The previous kings enjoyed it with the emperor and set up a temple."

Shang Chengbi nodded, "The late emperor never considered me at all, enjoying offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, and setting up the ancestral temple. Shang Conghuan's mere baby is so favored by the late emperor!"

Cardinal Jin held his hand, "Everything is over."

Shang Chengbi raised his pen, "That's right, everything is in the past. The word Fengxing was bestowed by the first emperor, how can I change it! Now, he took the Minghong knife, but he asked me to change his son's name, Tell me, what name should I give this young commander?"

Cardinal Jin smiled slightly, "You can tell, as long as you are happy in your heart."

However, Shang Chengbi sighed softly, and there was a sense of complacency and helplessness in his words, "Is it that simple, I thought of a word, what do you think?" He took a pen and wrote a word , strong and powerful, through the back of the paper.

Jin Cardinal nodded slightly, "59 is Huan, and Huan is the next hexagram, but [-] is Jie, and dogs and things cannot be separated, so we accept it as Jie'. Huan is Li, Jie is the overlay of Huan, Jie But so far, Huan has changed from No, and No's hexagram is Tai, which is a very good word, as long as King Jingbian is willing to restrain himself, the Emperor will naturally guarantee that he will be very peaceful."

Shang Chengbi held him in his arms, "You still understand my thoughts."

"King Jingbian knows that Ming Hong Dao is in charge of the world, but he dares to risk the disgrace of the world. Now he expresses his surrender to the emperor. It is your benevolence that the emperor spared him so much." Cardinal Jin said indifferently. .

Shang Chengbi looked at him, "I know what you're thinking, but when my father passed away, even though I was the son of the crown prince, I was born to the princess of Chengguo. Uncle Wang came to the throne, but it is unknown who will die. I have a special status. No matter who the new king is, I will be deeply troubled. Later, the King of England personally helped me ascend the throne. It is indeed an offense for him to take the Minghong Saber today, but if I convict him because of this, it will be difficult to hide the mouths of the world. Chonghua—”

Cardinal Jin shook his hand, "I know, you don't need to explain, I understand, your heart is much more painful than mine."

Shang Chengbi looked into his eyes like a spring, he didn't know whether what he said was true or not, but as long as he had him for a moment, it was enough.

Cardinal Jin lazily leaned in Shang Chengbi's arms, but suddenly felt sad. He thought that he would not lie to him, but he never thought that the matter of seizing the throne back then would have to be whitewashed in front of him.He knows Shang Chengbi too well, he is ambitious and resourceful, and he is willing to let himself fall into such an embarrassing situation. On that day, Shang Quhan and Shang Yuanqi were fighting for the throne, and the first emperor named Shang Quhan the Juntian King, and the central government said Jun Heaven, as the lord of the four directions, the holy will has been manifested.At this time, Shang Yuanqi was already at the end of his strength, and Shang Quhan was the most filial and benevolent person. Originally, Shang Quhan's ascension to the throne was a matter of course. He will seal up his brothers and nephews to show his benevolence.But who would have thought that Shang Yuanqi was assassinated and died. Although there is no clear evidence, but Zhao Zhao's eyes are directed at Shang Yuhan. Still the son of the former prince, Shang Chengbi, who has no title, is the king. If you talk about kindness, Shang Quhan does have kindness to Shang Chengbi, but if you talk about enmity, how can there be no enmity between the two with such a relationship of status.What's more, he has been investigating and unannounced for many years, and he already knew that Shang Yuanqi's death was unusual. At first, he didn't understand why Shang Chengbi, who is the king of a country, wanted to practice Liuhe Tianjie, which was against the sky, but now he gradually understood , at whose hands Shang Yuanqi died, I am afraid that no one knew at that time that this cowardly and incompetent prince's son actually practiced such a domineering kung fu at his prime.It's just that the so-called all things complement each other, follow each other, this kung fu, I'm afraid Shang Chengbi wants to stop, but now he can't stop.

Shang Chengbi didn't know what Cardinal Jin was thinking, but he felt that his hand was covered in cold sweat, and asked gently, "What's wrong?"

Cardinal Jin shook his head, "Although King Jingbian proclaimed himself a minister to you, he behaved quite self-disciplined, but today he dared to take the sword from you for the sake of a younger brother, and he even pleaded guilty in such a vague manner. , looking at Shang Chengbi affectionately, "King Jingbian is afraid of you, but he is not afraid of you. He has a heavy army in his hand, and Ji Xigu is very popular among the people. You will have a battle sooner or later. Although I know you will win, but Worried about what price you will pay. I hope you are well, and I am also well."

Shang Chengbi gently scratched his eyelids, "You will be fine naturally, and I will protect you."

"I would like to fight for you in armor." Cardinal Jin firmly held his hand.

Shang Chengbi remained silent, and Cardinal Jin pulled his hand to his chest, "I can live only if you win. Do you not believe me, or do you not believe that I am enough to take back half of the country for you!"

Shang Chengbi smiled, "You are too thoughtful, obediently obey and take medicine to recuperate from illness, Chu Yi said lightly, your illness is caused by worry, and when you are cured, we can fight the enemy directly How come you forgot, our children still call you father-in-law."
