The prince is hard to serve

Yan Wenhao was a little absent-minded, so he walked in a leisurely manner, but the distance is only so long, no matter how slow he walks, he will eventually arrive.

Standing in front of the imperial study, Yan Wenhao stopped and stopped moving forward, with a complicated expression on his face.

Seeing that he stopped, Fuxi also stopped and waited quietly for a while, but after a long time, Yan Wenhao still didn't see any intention of going in, so she urged, "Your Highness, it's time to go in." He was also there last night, It is possible to guess what Yan Wenhao is hesitating at this moment, but he is just a little servant, so he can't say much after all.

After being silent for a long time, Yan Wenhao hummed, then suppressed all expressions on his face, with an indifferent expression, and stepped into the hall with his head held high.

In the imperial study.

Emperor Yan was not correcting the memorial. At this moment, he was standing in the center of the hall, with his hands behind his back, looking up at a painting hanging on the wall, with a focused expression, as if nostalgic.

It was a picture of snowy plums. It was painted in the moment when plum trees form a forest when the snow falls in winter, and the moment they bloom together, the scenery is too beautiful to behold.

This picture of snowy plums is rarely noticed by anyone, and Yan Wenhao is no exception. After all, there is not only this painting in the imperial study room, but there are many works by Emperor Yan himself on a whim, as well as other famous calligraphy and paintings. They are all used as decorations and hung inside, making the imperial study room smell of calligraphy and ink, very elegant.

Naturally, the most eye-catching ones are the paintings of Emperor Yan and famous artists, and the painting of snowy plums is rough and immature, and even the color matching is extremely messy. It can be seen at a glance that it is a novice's work, not If it came from a famous master or Emperor Yan, few people would care about it.

Of course, there will be some people who are curious about whose work can be hung in this imperial study, but they are just confused and dare not really ask, and then they forget about it and don't care about it.

Now, looking at Emperor Yan's expression, Yan Wenhao felt doubts in his heart, and began to observe this picture of snowy plums seriously.

However, the more he looked, the more familiar he felt. After observing carefully for a long time, he suddenly frowned tightly, and when he thought of who made it, his face instantly sank——

This painting of snowy plums was clearly written by his uncle.

After reaching the crown, Yun Jing is not only a general, but also a good handwriting and a good painting. However, when he was young, he was really a student who made the teacher a headache.

At that time, if he was asked to tell how to use troops and how to deploy troops, his eyes would definitely shine, and he would be able to talk non-stop for three days and three nights. It really made him scratch his ears and his cheeks, making him very irritable.

At that time, Yunjing's paintings were always the object of ridicule, but Yunjing was very self-respecting and competitive. After being ridiculed again and again, he made up his mind to work hard. I really worked hard to practice.

He is smart, relying on his acquaintance with Mu Jiyan, he found a shortcut and hired Mu Jiyan to teach him. Hard to find.

Mu Jiyan was not stingy with his request, so under Mu Jiyan's careful teaching, his painting skills have improved rapidly in just a few years, and all the calligraphy and paintings he made when he was young were all absorbed by him. It was burnt clean, only Yun Yao secretly kept one and brought it to the palace, where Yan Wenhao, who was still young at the time, saw it.

Emperor Yan seemed to be aware of Yan Wenhao's thoughts, and finally turned around to face Yan Wenhao, but his expression did not change, still mixed with some nostalgia, "You have already guessed who made this painting .” He used a declarative sentence.

Yan Wenhao looked at him with a dull face, and did not deny it, nodded in response, "It was my uncle who did it when he was young."

Emperor Yan looked at him, then looked away, and there seemed to be a little smile in his tone, "It was done by Yun Jing when he was young. Later, as his painting skills improved day by day, he never had such an interesting picture again." Maybe he didn’t know that the painting was done, but I hid one of them privately, so he probably thought that he burned it all.”

Yan Wenhao heard the words, but he didn't smile at all. He frowned, and couldn't help blurting out: "Father, when you miss your uncle, have you ever thought about the feelings of the half-denominator?"

The smile in his eyes subsided, Emperor Yan looked at Yan Wenhao quietly for a while, but did not answer him, but turned around, returned to the throne, and raised his finger to the chair beside him, "Sit down. "

Yan Wenhao raised his eyes, hesitated for a while, and sat down as he said.

After being silent for a long time, Emperor Yan suddenly said: "I know, you will definitely feel wronged for your mother, and feel that I am sorry for her..."

Raising his head, Yan Wenhao looked at him without any response, which was regarded as acquiescing to this sentence.

Perhaps because Yunyao and Yunjing were involved, Emperor Yan always felt apologetic, or maybe it was because Yan Wenhao looked too much like Yunjing, Emperor Yan seemed to think that Yunjing was standing in front of him again, so he felt sorry for Yan Wenhao. Emperor Yan was not annoyed by Hao's attitude at this time, but just sighed lightly, and continued: "I am indeed sorry for Yunyao, I have failed her, you are right to blame me."

Emperor Yan leaned back on the imperial chair, looking a little tired. After a while, he raised his hand again, squeezed the center of his brow, and said softly: "Wen Hao, you probably don't understand what is involuntary. It's a very strange feeling, but I can't help myself to Yunjing, I can't control my heart, I was attracted by him, and fell in love with him."

After a pause, he thought for a moment, and then continued: "As for the reason why I want to marry Yunyao, Duke Huai actually said not exactly what he said, he was only partially right. First, it is because she looks like Yunyao." It's Yunjing, I know that I probably won't be able to stay with Yunjing for the rest of my life, so if I marry someone who looks like him, I can deceive myself and pretend that he is by my side..."

"This is the first, but the second is for myself. I need the support and influence of the Yun family, and marrying Yun Yao, which will tie the fate of me and the Yun family together, is undoubtedly the easiest and fastest way." way."

It was only later, when he ascended the throne and became emperor, and found that the Yun family grew stronger and stronger, Yun Chen declared himself a giant, the common people loved Yun Chen more, and when he vaguely suspected that he had made great achievements, he even began to be unable to distinguish between the two. Among them, which one is more important.

Yan Wenhao listened to Emperor Yan's words, but after that question, he never spoke again.

He could only bear with it, otherwise if he opened his mouth, he would not be able to help asking questions one after another, expressing all the resentment and hatred in his heart, and this would only annoy the emperor in the end.

I talked for a long time by myself, but didn't hear Yan Wenhao's response again, so Emperor Yan also stopped, staring at Yan Wenhao indifferently, not missing the slightest expression on his face.

No one spoke anymore, so the hall fell silent, and for a while, a needle could be heard.

His eyes were a little hollow, Emperor Yan moved his eyes away and became dissociated. At this time, Yun Jing's words, deeds, frowns and smiles from many years ago reappeared in his mind. In the end, the soldiers came again. Reported that Yunjing died in battle and his bones were nowhere to be found. Suddenly, his heart ached, and sadness came from it.

Closing his eyes, Emperor Yan sighed softly, and after a long time, he said softly again: "I just want to tell you that what Duke Huai said last night is not entirely true, even though my original purpose of marrying Yunyao was not pure, But after getting married, I really thought about getting along with Yunyao and being a married couple that everyone envied. I also tried to forget about Yunjing. ..."

And he couldn't forget Yunjing after all.

Yan Wenhao sneered when he heard this, his hands beside him were already clenched into fists, his father's so-called providence was actually nothing more than his own suspicion.

Shaking his head, finally put away this feeling, Emperor Yan lowered his face, pondered for a while, and said seriously: "Forget it, I will not mention it at this time, I came to you today because I have something important to tell you. to you."

Only then did Yan Wenhao look up at him again, with a tense face, he got up and bowed and asked, "Father, tell me."

"Let's take a look at this brochure first." With that said, Emperor Yan handed Fuxi an apricot-yellow memorial, and motioned him to take it down for Yan Wenhao.

After receiving the memorial from Fuxi, Yan Wenhao lowered his head and quickly read ten lines at a glance. After reading it, he frowned and raised his head and said: "Father, this area in the south of the Yangtze River is originally prosperous and prosperous. In a place where there are many officials, big and small, officials are all connected to each other, and their interests are intertwined, so it can be said that a single hair affects the whole body."

After a pause, he continued: "Shi Buyuan, the commander-in-chief of the south of the Yangtze River impeached by this memorial, is the head of the officials in the south of the Yangtze River. Everyone has always looked up to him. He is also the uncle of Concubine De Gui. If you want to move him, you will probably be involved in a lot of trouble. , the capital will also be affected."

"I know the relationship between the interests, that's why I found you."

Emperor Yan's expression moved slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Yuan'er mostly likes to win people's hearts. If I entrust this matter to him, I think it will be peaceful in the end. I just put out a few scapegoats and he is Shi Buyuan's. Nephew, I don't trust him, but Jin'er is too evasive, and she doesn't know anything about official affairs, so I'm afraid I can't handle this matter well, so this time, I can only let you come forward. You have been living in the deep palace for a long time, and you are out The official of the government has never met you and doesn't know you well, so it's best for you to come forward."

Yan Wenhao nodded slightly when he heard the words, and then asked: "What does the emperor want my son to do?"

Emperor Yan said earnestly: "I want you to go to the south of the Yangtze River in person and secretly search for evidence."

After a pause, he said again: "Zhen will give you Shang Fang's sword, and let Xie Jingyu go to the south of the Yangtze River with you to protect you, but you must remember that Shi Buyuan relied on the power of the noble concubine and secretly colluded with the Huns. Lawless, once they recognize you and realize that their power is gone, they may take risks and attack you, so you must not leave Xie Jingyu and act alone."

After Yan Wenhao listened, he nodded solemnly and said, "I know."

After waving his hands, Emperor Yan looked at Yan Wenhao for a while, and said softly: "Okay, you go down, for the next half month, I promise you to rest well, and you don't have to go to court. After half a month, you will go straight to Jiangnan Bar."

Yan Wenhao bowed slightly, saluted Emperor Yan, and then responded, "Thank you, Father."

After finishing speaking, he thought for a moment, and then respectfully said: "Now that my son's body has recovered, it is not appropriate to live in the palace anymore. And when the son was married, the mansion given to him by the emperor , has been repaired now, therefore, my son invited me out of the palace and moved into the mansion to live in."

He was originally waiting for Yan Wenyuan to bring it up for him, and he would be able to counter his plot and give them a blow, but now that Yan Wenzhi is dead, Yan Wenyuan will not do anything in a short time, so let him If you come forward by yourself, you can ask yourself out of the palace.

What's more, there are many inconveniences in this palace, and behaviors must be restricted, so be careful everywhere. He remembered that Mu Ziling always liked to go outside the palace.He didn't want Mu Ziling to be cautious in his words and deeds in this palace, so that he would live unhappy.

Emperor Yan looked at him for a long time when he heard this, and finally nodded his head: "Alright, since you have married the concubine, and your illness has recovered, there are indeed many inconveniences in the palace. If you want to leave the palace, then go out. If there is anything missing in your mansion, if you need anything, just send someone to find Fuxi." After that, he waved his hand again, and said softly: "If there is nothing else, you can leave. "

"My son retire."

After finishing speaking, Yan Wenhao didn't stay long, and after bowing to Emperor Yan, he turned and retreated with a calm expression.
