Those Years In Quest Of Honor Mine

"Oh yes, there is one more thing." Steward Feng said in a low voice, "The people in Biezhuang reassured the prince that they took good care of the two little masters. They didn't let them know about the death of King Qian'an. These messy things in the world will never reach their ears."

Yu She nodded, "Keep your mouth tight and take good care of the twins. If they happen to know something, no matter how they make trouble, they are absolutely not allowed to return to Beijing without my order."

Butler Feng nodded hurriedly, "Yes."

"Also." Yu She glanced at Zhong Wan at the side, and said as naturally as possible, "Everyone in the whole house will be rewarded with ten taels of silver."

"Ten taels?!" Steward Feng was taken aback, he paused for a moment and laughed, "The crown prince may not know that when the imperial decree to establish the reserve came down yesterday, he had already rewarded it. Both of you are very grateful, the generals all wish to eunuch themselves, go back to the palace and serve the crown prince and young master!"

Yu She hesitated to speak, shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with this, so you don't need to ask any more questions, each person is ten taels, just give it a reward."

Zhong Wan felt a little ashamed and lowered her head to drink tea.

Butler Feng innocently looked at Yu She and then at Zhong Wan, thinking about what happened last night, his old face blushed, "Oh! Yes, it's also a great happy event, and the old servant will thank the prince for everyone first."

Satisfied, Yu She said again, "Don't let the Bie Zhuang go, reward."

Steward Feng agreed, and suggested, "Then, the Qian'an Palace should also be rewarded."

Yu She was in a better mood, and he still wanted to say, "Xuan Jing also rewarded me with one or two?"

Zhong Wan: "..."

Zhong Wan couldn't bear it any longer, and interjected, "Does this have anything to do with the innocent Xuan Jing? Why should he be rewarded?"

Steward Feng said dryly, "His Highness the Fifth Highness may not be very happy..."

Hearing this, Yu She frowned sensitively, "How dare he not appreciate flattery? Does he dislike me and Gui Yuan?"

Steward Feng never dared to go against Yu She's will, and hurriedly said loudly, "He dare not!!!"

Steward Feng said sternly, "Even if you really can't see it, His Royal Highness dare not say anything!"

Yu She's expression softened slightly, and he said resentfully, "If it wasn't for the wrong timing, all of this would be worthy of amnesty. To reward Xuan Jing one or two, he should be grateful."

Steward Feng closed his eyes and flattered him, "That's that! His Highness the Fourth Highness should be happy with such a good thing to be celebrated by the whole world. After this His Highness, the Fourth Highness can no longer say that others don't take him with him. The prince always thinks about him! "

Zhong Wan covered his face in pain, unable to see.

Although Yu She still felt that it was not formal enough and lively enough, but because of the critical moment of life and death, it had to be like this.

Butler Feng took his orders and went.

Yu Wangfu's other courtyard was opening a warehouse to reward silver, and the wind and rain were turbulent in the middle of the court. The undercurrent that had been surging for many years gathered into a huge wave, and finally threw the old filth buried deep underground into the sun.

Emperor Chong'an heard the news from Princess An and passed out. Two days and two nights had passed since he woke up again. Emperor Chong'an was completely speechless, unable to move both legs, only one The left hand can still make two gestures with great effort.

Two days and two nights, whether it is long or short, has given Yu Mucheng enough time.

Anyone with eyes can see how the late emperor doted on his youngest son, King Ning, not to mention that the late emperor's clan relatives and veterans had hinted more than once that he would make King Ning the crown prince in the future. After ascending to the throne, he dismissed the old ministers who were dismissed from office, and dismissed those who were dismissed. The clansmen had no choice but to secretly reduce the power in the clansmen's hands. Later, when Xuan Ruiyuan was sent to Qian'an, he also dismissed many by the way, which he found annoying. clan.

Over the years of all kinds of harsh treatment, the clan members dare not say anything on the face, and many people have already harbored resentment in their hearts.

Emperor Chong'an became a useless person, Yu She complained about his illness and did not leave the house, and he heard that his health was not in good shape, and when the imperial power declined, someone would rise up.

Those who got Yu Mucheng's guarantee and wanted to get a share of the pie immediately increased, and quickly gathered into a party.

From the moment the first person opened his mouth, everyone suddenly became emboldened and began to blatantly call for grievances for King Ning. By investigating the matter of Xuanqiong, they turned the old case over and over again, and were determined to return King Ning's innocence.

Zhong Wan listened to all kinds of news in the mansion, but there was no wave in his heart.

When Emperor Chong'an held his power tightly, when Zhong Wan was struggling in prison, these people didn't say a word for King Ning.

Eight years later, these people seemed to wake up from a dream, and suddenly remembered that they were also close relatives who were closely related to King Ning.

If someone wants to reverse the case for King Ning, there must be someone who wants to protect the imperial power.

Emperor Chong'an has held the power tightly for many years. Although he controlled the government and acted arbitrarily, he did hold the cabinet tightly in his hands. The cabinet ministers were all single-handedly promoted by Emperor Chong'an. The edict of succession naturally refused to let the clan's clique make trouble.

Since the fall of Emperor Chong'an, the two factions have gradually become distinct, and the contradictions have intensified step by step. In less than half a month, swords are on the verge of breaking out, and the water is in dire straits.

Amid the smog, Princess An met Yu She once.

After saying goodbye at the gate of the Sun Palace that day, Princess An was very embarrassed, and really didn't know how to face Yu She. She heard that Yu She was so sick that she couldn't get out of bed. On that day, she came to the other courtyard of Prince Yu's Mansion in person.

Princess An Guo didn't have much hope at first, but Yu She met her.

Princess An looked at Zhong Wan anxiously, "Ziyou, I have something to say to you alone..."

"No need." Yu She sat down and said flatly, "If Zhong Wan hadn't heard about what happened last time, and someone would have embellished it for him later, I can't argue with it. The princess should tell it face to face."

Zhong Wan sat down after him, thought for a while, but didn't speak.

In the past year, every time Yu She met Princess An, he would definitely break his heart.

If it wasn't for the fear of missing something important, if it wasn't for the fear that An Guochang Princess would be arrogant and refused to talk to him, Zhong Wan actually wanted to deal with her by herself.

Princess An looked at the two of them, "Forget it, anyway, I told you, you should tell him when you turn around."

Princess An Guo thought for a moment, and said, "Today, through their back and forth arguing, I found out something by accident. This matter is related to both you and me. Let me tell you, lest you and I are still confused. .”

"Seven years ago, someone spread a rumor and told me that my own child was the emperor's secret trick, which killed me."

Princess An Guo smiled wryly, "I was so angry that I beat you and made you kneel in Yufu's ancestral hall. Since then...the mother-child relationship between us has been completely broken."

"It was later found out that the child was indeed lost by me accidentally, but I never knew who spread the rumors, which first harmed me and then you. I finally found out today."

Princess An looked at Yu She, and smiled bleakly, "Do you believe it? It's the emperor, my good brother, your real father."

Zhong Wan's expression changed suddenly, Yu She was taken aback for a moment, and then sneered.

"it is true."

"That day, King Ning had already died, and the few children left behind were also thrown by the emperor to the barren land to fend for themselves. The emperor no longer had any worries."

"The Zhong family has completely fallen, and Prince Ning's mansion is on the go. No one can talk about the bad things between him and Concubine Zhong anymore. He no longer worries that you, a child with an unknown background, will harm him, and because His heir withered, he wants to recognize you back."

"The emperor already had the idea of ​​making you his heir that day. Among the several sons, you are the most successful. He actually had a choice in his heart, but..." Princess An Guo laughed, "But you and I have a deep bond between mother and child. You are a good boy, you are very filial to me, and you respect King Yu very much."

"The son cannot be someone else's. If the son succeeds to the throne, he can't respect outsiders as his parents. The emperor is afraid that King Yu and I will interfere in the government in the future, so he wants to completely cut off the relationship between you and me, so that you can only rely on him. But how is this going to be broken?"

"The best result is that I personally push you to him. The best way is to use my own poor child as an excuse to drive me crazy."

"Sure enough, I was so angry that I treated you coldly. According to the emperor's original plan, he will re-enter the palace at this moment, conceal the dirty things between him and Concubine Zhong, and make up a story to make you It's his father and son who told the story in detail, so that you can easily recognize him as the father."

"This is also why I was able to find out that the child was accidentally lost by myself, because the original result was that I regretted it after finding out the truth, but I could no longer repair the relationship with you. You lost your mother, so you will lose your mother." Get closer to the emperor."

"However, something went wrong in the middle."

Princess An tightly clutched the handkerchief, "Yu Mucheng knows."

"Xuan Qiong is still staying there, why is Yu Mucheng willing to let the emperor appoint you as the heir? He stepped in, threw out countless clues, led you, seduced you, and asked you to investigate the events of the year Clearly."

"If not, you were so young at the time, how could you check it so clearly?"

Princess An's heart palpitated, "The emperor's wishful thinking has come to naught, but if he is not careful, it will all be over..."

After that incident, Yu She was transformed into another person.

Even though she had vaguely guessed it a long time ago, Zhong Wan couldn't help shaking her hands when she heard what Princess An Guo said.

Good Ziyou, just being stabbed by these people one after another, hurt him like this.

"The things about the children these years have made me brood on my heart, and I have severed my relationship with you by accident, which is the deepest hatred in my heart." Princess An stood up and said, "Now that I know this, I don't know what to complain for a while. Who is it, whether it is helping the emperor or King Yu, I feel unwilling now, Ziyou... I am really tired."

Princess An Guo laughed at herself, "Anyway, I've helped both parties so far. No matter who you succeed in the future, even if it's in the way of your feelings, you won't kill me. That's all, I don't care."

Princess An turned around wearily before leaving and glanced at Yu She, "Back then... King Yu took concubines and gave birth to concubines one after another. You contradicted him several times for me. I tell you, don't need to say more, you say... "

Princess An Guo said, "Tell me, as a son of man, how can you not protect your mother?"

"But later..." An Guochang Princess burst into tears, "When your life was worse than death, I knew it was not your fault, but I let you be hurt for so many years, Ziyou... It's my mother who didn't I want to come back and protect you."

Zhong Wan's throat choked violently, so what's the use of saying this now? !

Princess An finally left.

Zhong Wan took a deep breath, walked to Yu She's side and carefully took his hand, before Zhong Wan could speak, Yu She smiled lightly, "It's okay."

Yu She looked at Zhong Wan and laughed, "I really didn't coax you, somehow, this time I don't feel bad at all."

Zhong Wan paused, endured and endured, tears meandering down.

Zhong Wan lowered her head and choked up silently.

"Understood, you are the one who suffered for me." Yu She took out a handkerchief to wipe Zhong Wan, and said in a low voice, "There is something that I wanted to tell you a long time ago, but the time has not come, it's just empty talk." Promises are meaningless, and today... I feel that the time has finally come."

Zhong Wan looked up at Yu She, her lips moved slightly.

When the two eyes met, Yu She was startled unexpectedly, and said in a low voice, "You actually guessed it a long time ago, didn't you?"

Zhong Wan tightly grasped Yu She's wrist, said in a hoarse voice, "Th-Think about it again."

Yu She smiled casually, "I've thought about it a long time ago."

An Guochang princess claimed to be sick to the outside world, retreated from the chaos, and stayed behind closed doors.

Three days later, through Yu Mucheng's personal and material evidence, it became clear that Emperor Chong'an colluded with Concubine Zhong to poison the late Emperor. It was nothing more than an affair with his concubine, but the ironclad evidence of killing his father and king was laid out in front of everyone, and the cabinet ministers could not argue. It can be argued that the clan members were elated, and then filled with righteous indignation, determined to seek an explanation for the late emperor.

Yu Mucheng acted meticulously and carefully. Anything related to the past, he only called "heard" and "conjecture", and then threw out the evidence, and everything was found out by other people. When asked about him, Yu Mucheng denied it He only said that he had suspected it for many years, but the matter was so serious that he never dared to investigate it thoroughly.

For many years of co-authoring, he didn't know anything, but he was always able to get the evidence by accident.

Everyone knew that Yu Mucheng was lying, but the people from Emperor Chong'an's faction couldn't help him, and the clan members even pointed out that a deer was a horse. For a while, Yu Mucheng became a loyal minister.

Everything is happening according to Yu Mucheng's expectations. Emperor Chong'an was stunned several times and then survived several times. Although he procrastinated and couldn't die, he lost all his authority and could only watch helplessly. Let go.

The last straw that crushed Emperor Chong'an was a relic of the late emperor.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs opened the old warehouse in the palace and found an old clothes.

After the death of the first emperor, these things were either burned or buried. It happened that such a piece of clothing was missing, and it was put into the bookcase by mistake by the palace servants, and it was stored.

The old clothes were stained with medicine stains, which were stained by the late emperor's vomit when he was seriously ill.

After examination by imperial physicians and elderly officials, the medicine stains were indeed poisonous.

Emperor Chong'an's people killed him all the time, saying that the first emperor died of a serious illness. As soon as the old clothes came out, no one could argue.

The several generals in charge of the military power in Beijing were all pure ministers, and at first they worked together to suppress the clan faction, so no matter how rampant the clan members were, they could not force the palace.But now that Emperor Chong'an's crime of regicide is conclusive, the pure ministers didn't know what to do for a while.

Emperor Chong'an is in charge of the imperial power, and everyone should swear allegiance to the death, but isn't the late emperor the emperor?Should the person who murdered the late emperor continue to be loyal?

During the stalemate, Qian'an officials reported that they had found traces of the original Qian'an king. Xuanrui, the former Qian'an king, was indeed assassinated by Emperor Chong'an, but with God's blessing, Xuanrui survived the catastrophe.

Emperor Chong'an first killed the first emperor, and then unjustly killed King Ning, and now even Prince Ning's son-in-law is not spared. The evil deeds finally made the clans unbearable. Reconsideration.

At this point, Emperor Chong'an's faction had nothing to do.

Although Yu Mucheng still can't leave the clan mansion, he is not worried at all.

So what if he is still under house arrest for a period of time?If Xuanrui wants to succeed to the throne, he must first let himself go.

Yu Mucheng has been thinking about it for several months, and finally the dust has settled. He is completely relieved. Yu Mucheng eats raw food and tea every day in the clan's mansion. A turnaround.

But this time, God did not favor him.

Xuan Rui disappeared.

"Impossible." Yu Mucheng is worthy of years of ups and downs in the court, and he has practiced good kung fu. After hearing Zhong Wan's words, his face remained normal, and he shook his head slightly, "You don't have to lie to me."

Zhong Wan looked at Yu Mucheng quietly, "It's fine if you don't believe me, I'm leaving."

"Wait!" Yu Mucheng moved his fingers subconsciously, "You just said... that Xuan Rui is missing? What is missing? How did you disappear?"

Zhong Wan said indifferently, "To be missing is to be missing. From the beginning to the end, you were called by Prince Yu, and you said with certainty that Xuan Rui is still alive. What evidence do you have?"

Yu Mucheng said eagerly, "Xuan Rui is the evidence!"

Zhong Wan said, "But now he doesn't see anyone alive or dead. The clan members are in a panic, and everyone has been harmed by your empty talk."

Yu Mucheng was stunned for a moment, and his tone was unstable, "He obviously didn't die! My people saved him! I was afraid that Xuan Rui would be assassinated by the emperor again, so I secretly sent someone to escort him to Beijing! My people kept saying that Xuan Rui was fine. of!"

Zhong Wan looked at Yu Mucheng quietly, without speaking.

Yu Mucheng suddenly looked at Zhong Wan, and after a while, he understood everything.

Zhong Wan looked at Yu Mucheng's instantly pale face and said with pity, "Prince Yu, isn't your greed too much?"

"You originally had the opportunity to hold Xuanrui completely in your palm, but in order to separate Ziyou and I, you deliberately let Ziyou's people follow, so that I can take revenge on Ziyou after Xuanrui's accident." Zhong Wan said. Telling Yu Mucheng what's on his mind, "In case Xuanrui really has something good or bad, if someone pursues it in the future, you can still rely on Yu She to kill three birds with one stone, right?"

The blood on Yu Mucheng's face faded.

"We've reached this point." Zhong Wan said in a deep voice, "You still haven't forgotten to harm him."

Yu Mucheng tried his best to control himself to calm down, and asked, "You guys intercepted and killed Xuan Rui halfway? Zhong Wan, King Wang Ning loved you so much back then, and you did this to King Ning's son in order to let Yu She succeed?! "

Zhong Wan didn't bother to explain.

Yu Mucheng thought for a moment, and suddenly thought of someone again, and suddenly said loudly, "Come here! Come here!!"

"It's late." Zhong Wan said coldly, "I'm here to tell you that the emperor is about to die, and Ziyou has already entered the palace."

At this moment, Yu Mucheng really didn't understand what "it's late" meant, he didn't care about Zhong Wan, he completely lost his composure, stood up and yelled at others.

In the palace at the same moment.

Emperor Chong'an's wax-colored face was tinged with blue, he opened his mouth with all his strength, let out a breath, and let out a "wheeze" for a long time before he could take another breath.

The people who knelt on the ground outside the sleeping hall were sobbing.

In the sleeping hall, Yu She stood at the head of the bed, looking at Emperor Chong'an indifferently.

An old eunuch from outside fell in, beaming with joy, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Xuanrui's traitor is indeed dead! He can't be found at all, and the clan members are all panicked!"

Emperor Chong'an's eyes widened in an instant. He looked at Yu She, and with great effort touched his still-moving hand under the pillow, and took out an imperial edict.

Emperor Chong'an shook his hands, threw the edict under the bed, took the pen handed to him by the old eunuch with difficulty, and wrote ghostly on the quilt: Ascension, time is running out, don't wait for them to recover, go find Xuan ...

Emperor Chong'an was exhausted and fell back on the bed, unable to write any more.

Yu She picked up the imperial edict on the ground, opened it and read it carefully, and said in a low voice after a while, "I knew it."

"Why do you hold it in your hands all the time, why do you refuse to hand it over to me?" Yu She spread out the edict and said calmly, "The candidate for the queen has been decided?"

Yu She asked in a low voice, "If I want to ascend the throne, I must marry the queen you chose for me, right?"

Emperor Chong'an stared at Yu She stubbornly, with a hint of pleasure in his eyes.

Even if the clansmen fished in troubled waters, so what if they had been raving about for so many days?A country cannot be without a king for a day, once he leaves, there will be a new emperor succeeding immediately, and Xuanrui can't find him, so who dares to say no to Yu She?

So what if Yu Mucheng has been dormant for many years?In the end, isn't this just a waste of money?

So what if Yu She is rebellious?If he wanted the dragon chair, he had to take it with the queen.

Although it failed to cut off the possibility of Zhong Wan becoming an official, but regarding Yu She's marriage, Emperor Chong'an would never let Yu She do whatever he wanted.

The old eunuch who served Emperor Chong'an trembled and said: "Prince, the emperor said before that he was afraid that you would be confused. In the future, he would not marry the queen because of Young Master Zhong, so... I will make arrangements for you. The queen's mother has a powerful family and is worthy of you. Thinking about it, you won't be negligent, so...it's good for everyone."

Yu She smiled, "I will be included in the final edict."

Emperor Chong'an breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the pen again, and drew on the quilt: That child, holding it in your hands, is very good, but don't waste any more time, the clan members will think of him immediately, don't let them ...

"Don't worry." Yu She folded the edict, "Even if the clansmen come to their senses and remember that King Ning still has such a son, they still won't see him, and won't be able to snatch him away."

Yu She said casually, "Xuan Yu will always be in my hands."

Emperor Chong'an thought that Yu She had finally compromised, and was about to nod when he suddenly noticed something was wrong.

Yu She smiled, "Didn't think of that?"

Emperor Chong'an whimpered hoarsely, his left hand shook violently.

"The clansmen have done everything I had to do for me, leaving me with a lot of trouble."

Yu She said softly, "But everyone is only staring at Xuan Rui, forgetting that King Ning still has a son."

"King Ning has overturned the case, so his two sons are actually the same."

Emperor Chong'an understood what Yu She was going to do and couldn't breathe.

Yu She read the edict carefully again, and said to himself, "All these years, everyone has been pushing me into the abyss..."

"I am a chess piece for all of you... You know that if I marry the queen, I will lose Zhong Wan and live a life worse than death, but because of this little blood, you still want to force me to be behind you and still suffer from you." At the mercy of."

"I had accepted my fate in this abyss, but Zhong Wan suddenly jumped down. Not only did he jump down, he also wanted to pull me up together."

Yu She looked at Emperor Chong'an, "You should thank him, if not for him, this ending would be even more terrifying."

Emperor Chong'an's eyes shattered and he roared sharply.

"Yu Mucheng and the others feel that they have saved Xuan Rui's life first, and then supported him, so they can safely hold Xuan Rui in their hands."

"Xuan Rui and Zhong Wan have an unresolved knot in their hearts, and we can't tell the old and new grudges with me. If he succeeds to the throne, he will naturally not let us go."

"So I can't let Xuanrui go back to Beijing, but... what about Xuanyu?"

"It was a bit difficult to help him to the top, but thanks to the tossing of the clansmen these days, it is now going smoothly."

"Compared to those clan relatives that he can't even recognize, is Xuan Yu closer to Zhong Wan who brought him up with his own hands, and my cousin who handed over the throne to him?"

"Don't worry, I won't treat Xuan Yu as a puppet. I will cultivate him and teach him well. When he becomes an adult and can really rule the world, I will give him everything. This debt is paid off."

"I won't be stuck in the past anymore, and Gui Yuan doesn't have to feel sorry for King Ning anymore."

"The two of us are clean and we don't owe anyone any more."

Yu She stood up and spoke to Emperor Chong'an calmly for the first time, "Father, from the beginning to the end, I never thought about taking the throne, I just wanted to..."

In the clan's mansion, Zhong Wan looked at Yu Mucheng who was in a daze, and said in a hoarse voice, "Ziyou just wants to do his best..."

"Return the mighty gear that was misplaced 20 years ago to its original position."

--Finish--

The author has something to say: finally finished.

I was writing a book in 16, with deletions, deletions and revisions. Compared with the original version, it is already another book, but I am very happy. This is the most complete story in my heart. The overall tone has been adjusted several times. It's a lot of fun, and it's the version I'm most satisfied with.

The story is a little bit heavy, and I tried my best to write it lightly. First, I hope that the life of the two protagonists will not be so bitter. Second, I think the two protagonists are strong enough, especially Zhong Wan. Have fun with yourself.

Looking back on the whole story now, I still feel a little bit sad. Really, I like the two protagonists so much.

There are a lot of things I want to say, but now I feel that I have already said what I should say in the article, so I don’t want to be too long-winded. I wish all readers who have read this article to be positive and optimistic. step over.
