Wolf Dysprosium

Emperor Renzheng was never a good father in Cen Zin's mind.Most of Cen Zin's feelings for him are the statutes of the monarch, minister, father and son.In comparison, which of the many sons under Emperor Renzheng's knees is his favorite?No matter how Cen Jin compares them, he can only think of the prince who died young.

As the eldest son, the prince can be remembered by Emperor Renzheng Hengyong, Cen Jin sometimes thinks back in the middle of the night, and can't help but suspect: it's because the elder brother left too early.In the future, he will have time to reveal his true temperament, and in the future, he will have time to conflict with Emperor Renzheng on many choices in the world.Therefore, the prince will always be the best son, who will not disobey, will not make people angry, and will not covet the throne. He is a safe and secure nostalgia.Emperor Renzheng loved him because of this.

After the death of the crown prince, everyone believed that Cen Rong was Emperor Renzheng's most beloved child and the best candidate for the crown prince.However, as time went by, Emperor Renzheng was still unwilling not to establish a heir. Cen Zin talked about this matter with his mother, and he always wondered why Emperor Renzheng was hesitating.Concubine Jin reminded him: Emperor Renzheng didn't hesitate, he simply didn't want to.

Looking back now, Cen Jin felt cold all over his body: "He didn't want to make the third brother the crown prince, because he knew that the third brother was the same person as him. He would do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. The heart of the emperor has always been as cold as iron. But father is old. At that time, he was weak and began to fear the heart of stone."

He waited for Jin Yan's answer.But regarding his question, Jin Ye just shook his head slightly, and asked with a smile: "Your Highness, do you still have room to hesitate?"

Cen Jin was taken aback: "What?"

Jin Ye: "King Xuan's life is hanging by a thread now, what you should think about is how to protect yourself and the many people who follow you." Jin Ye raised his finger and pointed outside the courtyard wall, Liang Jingcheng was as silent as a giant beast in the night, There are only a few sparse but bright lights: "When you returned to the city today, didn't you hear the people shouting?"

It was still early for Cen Jin and others to return to the city, but the outer city has gradually become lively.The team was holding the flag of the Northwest Army, and was quickly recognized by others. The streets and alleys were empty for a while, and people with baskets and guns rushed onto the avenue, cheering for the team.

The news of the great victory of the Northwest Army has spread to Liang Jing. His Royal Highness King Xuan reorganized Mang Yunqi, and General Bai Ni returned. How everyone cooperated, how to use tactics, and how to beat the Jinqiang army to the ground has been rapped for many days on the Pan Tower. .The illiterate people used to know the deeds of General Zhongzhao Jin Mingzhao through libretto and storytellers, and now they know the deeds of King Xuan in the same way.

The people linked King Xuan and General Zhongzhao together, "With King Xuan here, we can rest assured!" "King Xuan guards the northwest border, just like General Zhongzhao did back then!" All kinds of rumors like the wind blow Enter the streets and alleys of Liangjing, and even flow into the palace along the Yanzixi and Muqingchi.When the people put up lanterns in front of the Jin Mansion in Suli, Qing Dynasty, there was a lot of discussion, and King Xuan seemed to be the best general of Dayu.

"Cen Rong used Yang Song'er's case to stir the hearts of the people. No one knows better than him how important popular popularity is." Jin Yan said, "Now you are the same as him back then. Do you think he won't be afraid? Do you think he has no respect for you?" Ever had the slightest intention to kill? Your Highness, do you still think that your third brother will let you go?"

Cen Jin suddenly grabbed Jin Yan's shoulder and shouted: "The military report was delivered to the palace not long ago. Could it be that the people of Liang Jing have the skills to know the victory of the Northwest Army so quickly? Is it you? Or Mingye?" Tang? Jin Yan, you and I should treat each other sincerely, don't let me look down on you!"

Cen Jin suppressed his anger, and Jin Yan captured an unspeakable pain from this anger.Jin Yan is happy to see Cen Jin's growth.Cen Jin could have become the same as Cen Rong, or even sharper and more cunning than Cen Rong.Jin Ye did not believe that Cen Jin did not have such a mind.But Cen Jin really didn't have this ambition, he clearly understood everything, but he didn't want to play with these intrigues, the current anger and pain were all forced out by Jin Yan.

Forced by the world, there are not many paths he can choose.

"Your Highness, General Ning, your wife, a soldier of the Northwest Army, has followed your entourage since childhood, Concubine Jin, you have to think about them as well as yourself. Instead of entangled with me here about which is true and which is false, why not... "

"I just want to know if Yang Zhiyuan is telling the truth!" Cen Jin roared angrily.

Jin Yan was not afraid at all, instead he smiled loudly and said word by word: "Your Highness, everything depends on what you think. If you wish it to be true, it will be true."

He Lansone jumped in front of Cen Jin, grabbed Cen Jin's hand, twisted it tightly, and forcibly pulled it away from Jin Yan's shoulder.Cen Jin glared at Jin Yan, his chest heaving.Jin Yan's black eyes are abysses and whirlpools, which make him feel cold all over his body and send a chill down his back.

But he also knew that Jin Yan was right.Jin Yan was beating him hard, asking him to recognize the situation and stop having redundant and useless fantasies.

This is a very difficult choice.

***

In June, Liangjing is full of pomegranates, and there is a row of pomegranate trees in the backyard of Mingye Hall, half of which bear green fruits the size of a thumb, and half of which still have fiery red soft petals.

Yue Lianlou set up a table under the tree and was writing something carefully.Ruan Buqi sneaked over to take a closer look: "Are you still writing the libretto? Is it Kua Cenning again? You have been writing since you came back, and Pan Lou has sung it several times, isn't it enough?"

"It used to be King Kuaxuan's, but these are scolding Cen Rong, why is it the same?" Yue Lianlou glanced at the lyrics that had been written, and smiled again, "Here are some more praises for Ji Chunming and Xia Houxin. , can't you see?"

Ruan Buqi didn't look, but sat under the tree and looked up at the green pomegranate above his head. "I saw Chen Shuang crying last night." She murmured, "He has been in Mingyetang for so many years, this is the first time I saw him cry."

Yesterday afternoon, Ji Chunming ran to Chen Shuang in a panic.After lunch, Yang Zhiyuan hanged himself with his trouser belt around his neck in the cellar, and died.

Chen Shuang didn't come back until late at night, and sat on the roof without saying a word.Ruan Buqi saw his back from a distance, and when he wanted to get closer, he heard his low sobs.

"...When a man cries, I don't know how to coax him." Ruan Buqi bit a blade of grass and sighed, "Chen Shuang is not happy, and I am not happy either."

Yue Lianlou glanced at her: "Bad thing, when I'm not happy, you are so happy every day."

Ruan Buqi jumped up: "What's the matter!"

Yue Lianlou was too lazy to argue with her, but the ink pen was hanging on the paper, unable to write a word for a long time.Yang Zhiyuan died, a suicide.Was that really suicide?He didn't know, and he didn't want to ask.It's just that Yang Zhiyuan is gone, and no one in the world will know whether Emperor Renzheng passed away with his eyes closed at the end of his life, or died of hatred because of other people's actions.

Cen Jin made a choice, and so did Jin Yan and Ming Yetang.

After learning that Ming Yetang was going to help Jin Yan with this heaven-defying event, Shen Deng quarreled fiercely with Zhang Mo several times.He thought that Zhang Mo had become confused, and in order to help Jin Yan, he wanted to throw the entire Ming Ye Hall into this near-death disaster.People in the Jianghu have never had anything to do with the temple. Because of Jin Ye, Ming Yetang has been deeply involved in the affairs of the temple.Shen Deng used to help set up situations and solve some difficult people, and he never complained.Only this time, he was so angry that he even flipped Zhang Mo's desk.

Yue Lianlou looked at the sky, seeing that a storm was about to come.

He packed up the pens and papers, picked up a jug of wine and went to find Chen Shuang, but Chen Shuang went to Jin Yan's house with Shen Deng.

Jin Yan was about to visit Xie Yuanzhi at this time, when he looked up and saw the two of them, he hesitated.Shen Deng was finally persuaded by Zhang Mo. Seeing that Chen Shuang was in a bad mood, Zhang Mo asked Shen Deng to protect Jin Yan instead of Chen Shuang.Chen Shuang told Jin Yan one by one, and then apologized to him: "Only Chunming and I will take care of the father-in-law's funeral. Chunming has an official position, so it's inconvenient to show up. I have a lot of work on hand, so I can't go with you."

Jin Yan hugged Chen Shuang, Chen Shuang looked calm, and said in a low voice: "Don't comfort me. I know this is my father-in-law's own choice. He lives only to send a few messages to you and King Xuan."

When Shen Deng and Shen Deng walked slowly towards Xie Yuanzhi's house, Jin Yan wanted to start a conversation several times, but couldn't.He didn't know how Zhang Mo persuaded Shen Deng, but he just felt more and more guilty.

During the few days when Shen Deng and Zhang Mo quarreled, Chen Shuang went to take care of Yang Zhiyuan during the day, and taught He Lansone literacy and military books with Jin Ye at night.He occasionally mentions Shen Deng, saying that Shen Deng is the person he respects the most in Ming Ye Hall besides Zhang Mo.

When she first entered Mingye Hall, Chen Shuang was always taken care of by Shen Deng.Shen Deng didn't know how to speak soft and pleasant words, and he just reprimanded him when he spoke. Fortunately, Chen Shuang was a quick learner. In the past few years, he followed Shen Deng around and saw many people and things in "Chivalrous Stories".Shen Deng seldom mentions his own past, the only interesting thing that can be brought out is that he encountered a disaster in his youth and was rescued by a young girl when he was half dead, and from then on his heart was tied tightly to the girl.Later, the girl married someone else, and he had to let go, and he is still alone.

He Lansone called Shen Deng a "hero".Chen Shuang asked him why he said that, but He Lansone couldn't tell why.Jin Yan thought to himself, how painful it would be to let someone like Shen Deng do what he didn't want to do.

When he came to Xie Yuanzhi's house, Shen Deng looked around and said in a low voice, "There is no tail."

Finally, when he opened his mouth to talk to himself, Jin Yan hurriedly said: "Cen Rong promised me not to disturb my life anymore. It seems that this time he kept his word."

He knocked on the door, and soon there was a boy's answer from the door.Besides the boy, Xie Yuanzhi's wife, Yin Shi, came to open the door.Yin has no children under her knees, so she treats Jin Yan like her own child, and when she sees him, she happily pulls him in.

Shen Deng stood blankly at the door, Yin turned her head and said with a smile: "This hero, come in and talk."

The two looked at each other, each stunned.Shen Deng stepped over the threshold, with a bit of surprise: "...Miss Yuan?"

Yin looked it over carefully, and shouted with a smile, "Is it Big Brother Shen Deng?"

Jin Yan was at a loss, and when he was about to ask in detail, the boy was already urging him.He had no choice but to leave Shen and Yin behind and follow the boy into the backyard.The imperial historian Le Tai, Xia Houxin and Ji Chunming have been waiting in Xie Yuanzhi's study for a long time.

After Cen Jin left the cellar that day, Ji Chunming followed Chen Shuang down, and saw Yang Zhiyuan who was still crying.Jin Yan has already told Xie Yuanzhi what Yang Zhiyuan said. Of the four people in the study, only Le Tai and Xia Houxin didn't know about it, and their faces were pale, waiting for Ji Chunming to repeat Yang Zhiyuan's words.

Xia Houxin didn't care about reminiscing about the old days with Jin Yan, he had almost the same expression as Le Tai: surprised and stunned, but still able to remain calm.

After Ji Chunming finished speaking in detail, the two in front of him fell into deep thought.Le Tai knew Ji Chunming well, and had no doubts about his words. Xia Houxin was not familiar with Ji Chunming, so after thinking about it, he asked, "Can what Yang Zhiyuan said be true?"

Jin Yan: "It's true."

Xia Houxin: "What evidence is there? Has anyone else seen it? Or..."

Jin Yan said again: "It's true, His Royal Highness King Xuan has confirmed it."

Xia Houxin immediately shut up.He stared at Jin Yan tightly, swallowing all the words he hadn't said.The two exchanged unspoken words in silence.

"...The Great Rebellion," Xia Houxin suddenly patted the armrest vigorously, and said in a low voice, "The Great Rebellion!"

Jin Yan poured tea for himself and breathed a sigh of relief.Seeing Ji Chunming's angry and serious face, and making gestures with Le Tai to describe how miserable Yang Zhiyuan was, guilt overflowed Jin Yan's chest.

In all their plans, they needed Ji Chunming, but they couldn't let Ji Chunming know the truth.Ji Chunming trusted Jin Yan and Ming Yetang extremely, and he would not doubt what Jin Yan said.When Ji Chunming told Le Tai what Yang Zhiyuan saw, the credibility was greatly increased.

In fact, even Jin Yan himself didn't believe Yang Zhiyuan's words.But truth and falsehood are completely unimportant now, and there is no need to think twice about whether Yang Zhiyuan's real thoughts are related to Emperor Renzheng.Cen Jin decided to believe it, and Jin Yan also decided to believe it.

They got the sharpest knife, why not use it?

The long wind blows the durian flowers, and the loose petals jump over the courtyard wall and go away with the wind.The pomegranates in the palace wall were blooming as lively as the streets and alleys. Hot tea was placed on the small table in the pavilion, and Cen Rong skimmed off a petal that fell on the teacup.

"Fifth brother, do you still remember that there was a very tall camellia planted here?" Cen Rong pointed to the surroundings of the pavilion and asked with a smile, "Jin Ye likes it the most, but unfortunately I burned it by mistake."

Cen Jin sat in front of him: "Remember."

Cen Rong nodded: "Jin Yan hates me, so he remembers it." He looked at Cen Jin, who didn't answer, as if he didn't understand the sentence.Cen Rong was secretly annoyed: he thought this fifth younger brother was dull and clumsy before, but now it seems that he actually hides everything in his heart tightly, without missing a single bit.

"Fifth brother, are there enough horses?" He suddenly smiled, his fox eyes were bent, and his tone was intimate and concerned, "Some people say that there are many tall horses in the Northwest Army, and they are all good breeds that can only be seen in the Jinqiang Army. I can’t buy it. I scolded that person after hearing it. I said how could the fifth younger brother buy horses from Jin Qiang? Jin Qiang is our enemy country and wants to rob us of Baique Pass. How can there be generals with the enemy? The fifth younger brother has never even met a Jinqiang person, you are talking nonsense, and your heart is to be punished."

After he finished speaking, he tapped on the table lightly, his knuckles slamming lightly, as if he remembered something: "...No, you have seen General Xi, and you have also sneaked into the Jinqiang camp....Did brother remember wrongly?"
