Don't run away to touch porcelain

At nightfall, a gust of wind blew up, and the heavy rain poured down without warning. Between the sky and the earth, there were thousands of layers of rain curtains stacked and swaying, and the raindrops the size of pearls fell cracklingly. The flowers, plants and trees in the garden swayed and dodged, but they couldn't resist. They smashed all over the ground with colorful flowers and reds, and the wind poured all over the eyes. Ye Huizhi felt that the weather was very similar to his mood at this time, lonely and cold, full of sadness.In the wind and rain, Ye Huizhi walked slowly step by step holding the oiled paper umbrella. The umbrella had obviously become a decoration in this kind of weather. The road from home to Ji Canghai's residence is not long, but now it feels as if it is endless.

Due to the bad weather, the General's Mansion had already been closed and locked. Ye Huizhi stood at the gate of the General's Mansion, slamming on the gate. , but Ye Huizhi just stood at the door and kept repeating the action of knocking on the door. Uncle Li faintly felt that there seemed to be some sound in the sound of wind and rain. Feeling uneasy, he put on his coir raincoat and came out of the door to look. A gap was opened, and when Uncle Li saw Ye Huizhi clearly, he immediately pulled him into the door, "Oh, why are you drenched like this? Didn't the general say that you won't come back today? You don't know how to avoid the storm. "

Uncle Li hurriedly took off his straw coir raincoat and put it on for Ye Huizhi. Ye Huizhi was already drenched, and Uncle Li followed suit. The news about General Xiaoye has spread throughout Cheng'an City, and the general's mansion is naturally It is also clear that Uncle Li looked at Ye Huizhi but couldn't say a word of comfort, he didn't even dare to say a word, the handsome young man who was always smiling and standing at the gate trying to let him in, how could he? It's gone, the heavy rain covered Uncle Li's wet red eyes, but Ye Huizhi didn't care, he just walked towards the courtyard where he and Ji Canghai lived together with an indifferent face, Uncle Li watched Ye Hui After entering the courtyard, he left. In the courtyard, only Ji Canghai's room was still lit. The orange light seemed to be warm in the cold wind and rain. Ye Huizhi pushed open the door of Ji Canghai's room. Intruding into the house, Ji Canghai saw Ye Huizhi striding forward, pulled him behind and closed the door again, Ji Canghai stroked Ye Huizhi's icy cheek, "Why is it so cold, quickly take off your wet clothes Alright, I'll go to heat the water right away, take a bath first and let's talk slowly, I thought you would stay in Ye Mansion tonight with Old General Ye and his wife, why are you back?"

Ye Huizhi raised his arms and hugged Ji Canghai tightly, feeling the warmth coming from his other chest, "I miss you."

Ji Canghai kissed Ye Huizhi's dripping hair, and said softly and firmly, "I'm here."

Ye Huizhi took a bath and sat on the bedside wearing Ji Canghai's underwear, silently watching Ji Canghai go about his business, Ji Canghai tidied up the bucket of dirty clothes and took it to Ye Huizhi, holding it in Ye Huizhi's hand He then gently hugged Ye Huizhi's head in front of him, and carefully wiped his wet hair. Ye Huizhi said sullenly, "As far as I can remember, I have never seen a Mid-Autumn Festival." It's raining so much."

Ji Canghai pointed out something, "It will always stop."

Ye Huizhi didn't answer Ji Canghai's words, but said to himself, "I wanted to go to Fengzhou tomorrow to pick up my elder brother, but my mother said that I can't go so hastily, he has to make arrangements to make my elder brother look good. I’m coming back, so I decided to leave the day after tomorrow, and tomorrow I’ll go back there and prepare, if I’m free, I’ll come back to see you, if I’m not free, I won’t go back.”

"So urgent?" Ji Canghai has already sent someone to investigate the situation in Fengzhou, but the journey is far away and he has no manpower there, so the news will not come back soon, although it is not a big deal that the prince's people have already returned , but Ji Canghai still felt uneasy, thinking that he would wait until he found out before letting Ye Huizhi go, but the Ye family should also have such concerns, there were already people from them there, and he thought it was safe and sound. Let Ye Huizhi go to help the spirit and come back.

Ye Huizhi still talked about himself, "Mother sent someone to take care of my sister-in-law's yard. Since my elder brother left, my mother has been very careful with her place, so my sister-in-law didn't notice anything. There are only Xi Cui and Xi Cui in the yard. Xiaotao can go in, the two of them have been carefully explained, and my sister-in-law will never know, now I only hope that the mother and child can leave a bloodline for my eldest brother."

Ji Canghai knew that Ye Huizhi just wanted to say something and didn't expect him to respond to anything, so he didn't open his mouth anymore and only listened to Ye Hui's explanation one by one, "Liu Longxiang came by in the evening and walked quietly through the side door. , he was ordered by his father to come here, and he said that the more stable it is at this time, the more he must not rush into the prince and suffer more losses. If you want to do something, you must do it calmly and slowly. It's on our Ye family's side."

Ye Huizhi looked up at Ji Canghai, "General, do you think something is wrong with Zuo Chunqiu?"

What Ye Zongshi could think of, how could a thoughtful person like Ji Canghai never think of it? He went through the matter in detail and found out the doubts when he returned to the mansion. Pushing the Ye family and the crown prince to the opposite side, this kind of calculation of the crown prince is probably related to the reserve position. Wen Jue has pretended to be a little sheep who has been indifferent to the world for so many years. It must be that the last time the emperor was seriously ill and he realized that the emperor's body is actually not good. No matter how good it is, it might be too late if you don't make a move. Ji Canghai didn't want to show off to Ye Huizhi, and asked directly, "It must be that the Fifth Prince intervened. Is Yu Hong his?"

"Yu Hong may belong to him, but this matter should have nothing to do with Yu Hong. It should be arranged by Zuo Chunqiu. Yu Hong's trip to Fengzhou is in great danger. I found a few friends from the world to help him, and the news that came back after all was nothing but It is said that what he wants to do this time is very dangerous, and it is impossible for Yu Hong to get the news of my elder brother's accident so quickly and arrange to use it immediately, he has no time to distract and is unable to arrange."

It's not a happy thing to be used by friends, Ji Canghai replied, "I also think that if it was him, he wouldn't ignore you like this, it would be better if it wasn't him."

Ye Huizhi muttered to himself, "Is there anything good now?"

Ji Canghai was afraid that the more Ye Huizhi thought about it, the sadder he would become. Seeing that his hair was dry, he almost told him, "Don't think too much, there are still many things waiting for you to do, go to sleep."

Ye Huizhi nodded in agreement, turned over and lay on the side of the bed, Ji Canghai packed the towels and put out the candles, and lay down on the side beside Ye Hui. He was exhausted physically and mentally, and now he lay down and felt Ji Canghai's familiar breath around him, and fell asleep almost instantly.Ye Huizhi slept deeply, but Ji Canghai was the one who couldn't sleep. He stared quietly at the top of the bed with bright eyes. Ye Jinglan was not just the elder brother of his loved one, Ye Jinglan grew up with him His playmate is the benefactor who saved his life, and the only one he regards as a confidant in his life. He never thought of participating in the war with the crown prince. In the past, he just thought about serving the country and the people, and also serving as the lintel for the Ji family. Resurrecting himself, he met Ye Huizhi later, he thought about resetting the defense of the northern border, and then he and Ye Huizhi found a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to hide and spend their small days growing old together, but now Ye Huizhi has become Ye Huizhi. He is the only heir to the family, and at the same time, the Ye family has also become a thorn in the side of the prince. He has to wade through this muddy water, and no matter what, he must protect the Ye family and Ye Huizhi.

Ye Hui had a deep sleep that night, and he didn't even know when Ji Canghai got up to go to the court. Everyone in the court wisely didn't use their official duties to trouble the emperor and Ye Zongshi. It was all about the matter between the crown prince and Ye Jinglan. The crown prince felt ashamed after crying in front of Wang Yuan yesterday, but at this moment, the censors spoke fiercely, and the courtiers kept secrets about him. What kind of face, he was crying bitterly and full of grievances, only saying that the situation was urgent at that time, it was wrong for him not to listen to the advice to leave the city, but if he didn't close the city gate, he was afraid that Prince Hui's soldiers would enter the city, the military officers of the Manchu Dynasty watched coldly, even The civil servants were also full of doubts. Prince Hui was just sneaking up on the prince, and he wanted to be quick, precise and ruthless. The people he could lead were definitely not enough to capture a city, but the emperor didn't say a word, showing that he wanted to protect him, and they couldn't say it like a dead man. What, after all, the crown prince is the crown prince, and he will still have to make a living under his hands in the future.

The emperor is not a faint king, on the contrary, he has a good temper and can distinguish right from wrong, so the censor dared to participate in the crown prince, but if there is anything wrong with the current emperor who has been in power for these years, it is probably that he pampers the prince too much.The crown prince was crying miserably in the court hall, and no one in the civil and military court was willing to come out to persuade him. He just lowered his head respectfully and quietly looked back and forth between Ye Zongshi, the emperor and the prince. Ye Zongshi planned to be soft, but he was not prepared Nuyan knelt until the emperor didn't speak, and he took the initiative to give in. In the end, the emperor spoke first, "Old General Ye, this matter is caused by the crown prince's poor behavior that caused Ye Jinglan to die in the country. I will not ask the Ministry of War about this matter. Let's They are all fathers, compare your heart with your heart, and I will consider how you want to say it."

Ye Zongshi came out and knelt down to salute, his eyes full of vicissitudes and his voice was hoarse, "Since the dog is a general, it is his duty to die in battle and serve the country loyally. I don't have much requirements, just receive the pension according to the court law."

A sentence of death on the battlefield is so sad, and the death of a young general who is amazingly talented is so worthless. The prince's lack of virtue has long made people dissatisfied. Now this situation makes people feel regretful and angry. Although no one in the hall speak , but it seemed that the temperature around him became much colder, the prince's cries gradually died down, and the emperor looked tired, he didn't pay attention to Ye Zongshi's words, "I think, Ye Jinglan has contributed to the savior this time, if there is no Rong En It is because my royal family is ungrateful. Yesterday, I drew up a decree with the people from the Ministry of Rites, and made General Ye Jinglan the Duke of Zhongjing. I heard that your daughter-in-law is pregnant. The son inherits the noble, and the generations will never succeed. I heard that General Ye has another son, so I named him Marquis of Yun'an, and I believe that the son of the general will not be bad. General Ye Jinglan's previous position should be taken by him."

The emperor's attitude is not too low, the emperor's rewards are not too generous, the Ye family's founding heroes are so honorable, but the more they are like this, the more they are afraid that their achievements will overshadow the master's disaster and their children and grandchildren, so the Ye family has long established rules, saying that it is only for Nanming Opening borders and guarding land will never be conferred a title. In fact, the achievements of the Ye family have long been worthy of the title of duke, but it is reasonable for one family and two brothers to pursue the title of duke. Nanming Kingdom has never had this kind of reward, and in addition, he is still required to be a third-rank general of Anguo. No matter how many people work in the army for a lifetime, they may not be able to reach the third-rank position. Even Ye Jinglan and Ji Canghai have made military exploits many times. Fang You Today, it is too much to make the second son of the Ye family who does not know the background, the third-rank general, but even the censor who loves to find fault is silent about this matter, the emperor naturally means that the Zhenwei army is still in the hands of the Ye family Here, sealing the second son of the Ye family is a gesture, and it must be Ye Zongshi who comes out again to take charge of the military power. If the emperor does not make such an arrangement, it is tantamount to killing the eldest son of the Ye family and taking the military power of the Ye family. Weight, who knows if he will force the palace to rebel if he does this, everything is expedient, and how can the monarch and ministers have no feelings for many years, the emperor is unwilling to tear himself apart with the Ye family after all. Ye Jinglan was specially sent to follow the prince. Who would have thought that it would lead to today's disaster, the most urgent task is to comfort the Ye family for the prince, even if they can't talk to each other, they shouldn't turn against each other.

Ye Zongshi carefully savored the title bestowed by the emperor on Ye Huizhi, Yunan, did he ask the Ye family to promise to keep their own place? In fact, the emperor has always treated the Ye family well. This kindness belongs to the emperor, and there is still a debt from the crown prince. Ye Zongshi kowtowed respectfully and received the decree, "I thank the Lord for your kindness."

The emperor was full of exhaustion and helplessness, and his spirit was getting worse and worse. Seeing that the matter of the Ye family was almost settled and he was about to leave the court, he unexpectedly sent an urgent report from eight hundred miles. The death of Ye Jinglan was reversed, and the emperor was overworked and frightened and angry, and fell down in the dark.
