i am afraid

It was still cold in early spring, and I didn't feel it when I was eating, but Jiang Yan felt cold after walking a few steps. He lowered his head and wrapped his clothes tightly around his body. As he walked forward, he suddenly bumped into someone. He said quickly: "I'm sorry. ..."

"fine."

As soon as they raised their heads, both of them were stunned. Although the faces in front of them had changed a lot, Jiang Yan recognized him immediately. This person was Yang Yan, the most powerful guard leader beside his father. Since the accident, he disappeared, and Yang Yan was surprised because Jiang Yan's temperament was so different. Although his appearance was ordinary and his dress was not outstanding, he just had an indescribable feeling, and he immediately became vigilant.

The gaffe was only for a moment, and Jiang Yan couldn't tell what Yang Yan's situation was now, whether he was following his father, or whether he had long since disappeared. He lowered his eyes, and if he was still following his father, he would not be able to act rashly.

No matter what happened to the king in these years, his father did not come back. It can only show that he does not want to see any old people from the past. Although he is unwilling to admit it, there must be him among these people.

Yang Yan restrained his surprise at that moment, and said with a smile: "Listen to the accent, isn't this young man a local?"

Jiang Yan didn't want to say much, he raised his brows and said, "Jiang Yan, I followed my family from Wangdu to Jiangnan for business. I'm sorry, excuse me. My elder brother is still waiting for me."

Yang Yan smiled when he heard the words, and quickly moved out of the way. Watching Jiang Yan's back disappear at the corner of the stairs on the second floor of the inn, the smile on his face slowly retracted, and he covered the bag that was still warm in his arms. Snack, he walked out slowly.

The strange thing is that his walking speed is obviously normal, but as long as you stare at him for a while, you will lose his trace, and you can't even see in which direction he is going.

When Jiang Yan returned to the room, he found that Jiang Xuanying had gotten up. He was standing in front of the window without opening the window. His back was inexplicably heavy, and Jiang Yan's heart skipped a beat.

"What's wrong? But father's side..."

Jiang Xuanying handed the note in his hand to Jiang Yan, and said softly: "It's my fault that the person disappeared. Originally, I just wanted to confirm his specific address, but the person who sent to investigate wanted to monitor him on his own initiative, and was found , if you want to blame, blame me."

Jiang Yan shook his head. In fact, he had been mentally prepared before coming here. Even if the people who were watching were not discovered, his father probably didn't want to see him. No matter how he lived these years, he never came back. Just let him take a look from a distance and tell him that he is not even alive.

Jiang Yan said: "Even if I can't see anyone, I still want to visit the place where he lived."

Jiang Xuanying stopped talking for a long time, and sighed softly.

"it is good."

The first prince was named Jiang Che, and he was conferred the title of prince from birth. He seemed to be extremely honored and favored, but in fact it was just a shield left by the late emperor for his beloved woman and son. There are only two ways to support the one you like, to raise and waste it, drowning and suppressing.Naturally, the crown prince on the bright side cannot be suppressed, and the court is not blind. If you want a good reputation, you can't do these things, so unfortunately, the first emperor chose to drown.

Give what you want, let everyone kneel at his feet, tell him that only he is the most honorable in this world, tell him that none of his brothers can compare to him.This is indeed a very clever way of raising waste. Anyone can see that it is wrong, but everyone can see that it has bad intentions.

That's what the late emperor wanted. He wanted his son to understand that he could praise whoever he wanted, and destroy whomever he wanted, but what he didn't expect was that Jiang Che took what he said seriously!

Didn't it mean that everyone should kneel at their feet?Naturally including you.

Didn't you say that I am the most honorable person in this world?Nature is in power.

Doesn't it mean that all brothers are inferior to me?Naturally he should kneel down!

The first emperor was kept in the dark until a small hunt, the crown prince stayed in the king's capital to supervise the country, and when he came back, he found that more than half of the people who went to court had disappeared. He was so angry that he wanted to question the prince, but found that all the important officials in the court were standing behind Jiang Che, looking at him expressionlessly.

The first emperor had completely become a bare emperor, without the crown prince giving orders, he had to wait for Jiang Che's consent before he could be served even for a cup of tea.

Jiang Che's heart is different from other people's. He has an almost crazy calmness, which is usually hidden under the arrogant appearance. The late emperor's many years of arrogance only made him develop a kind of arrogance that should be taken for granted. When he is a little older, he will understand This kind of wantonness is not for nothing, he will one day give up his position to those lowly younger brothers, he immediately calms down, plots for ten years, and once he gets power.

No one can imagine how an eight or nine-year-old child slowly gathers contacts, secretly forming an inseparable network of interests, while other brothers are still in the arms of their mothers, listening to the secrets in the palace When Jiang Che began to cultivate a little caution and competed for his mother's favor, Jiang Che had already visited the elders of Chaozhong Pavilion, and four or five big families quietly stood behind him. More and more courtiers followed Wenhua Pavilion to listen to the lecture Come to surrender and form a clique, and in the end, Jiang Che lost even the interest in watching these younger brothers jumping around.

It is much easier to pretend to be the first emperor than expected, but a young emperor who ascends the throne is always suspicious, even if he has a confidant, he will not last long, but he will be full of confidence in himself, thinking that no one in this world dares to betray him, and his methods will become more and more vigorous. No scruples.But in fact there are, as long as there is another person who is more suitable to be the emperor, Xu will benefit more. In order to benefit from the dragon, the courtiers will go forward, and as long as most people start to lean towards him, the overall situation has been settled. .

This is the power, the power of the king.And when most people began to find that the temper of the new master they found was not much better than that of the late emperor, or even stricter, it was too late, things could not be turned back, and they had already done their best, unless the hard work was difficult. The imaginary price is impossible to stand out among other forces.

Moreover, there are no other forces.

Jiang Che hated those younger brothers. His mother's queen was a well-educated and reasonable woman. After entering the palace, she upheld the Fengyi of the middle palace and treated her father's concubines impartially. After warming up a pot of tea, he felt that his mother was the best woman in the world, but because of her natural appearance, he was rejected by his father.He still remembers that during the night banquet in the central palace during the fifteenth month of that year, the small country in the Western Regions paid tribute to their princess as their concubine to the emperor. Seeing her as a peerless beauty, with a burst of drunkenness, she waved away the queen mother and let the princess sit beside him, in the position of the queen.

Later, the princess gave birth to the fourth and fifth children, who inherited the ordinary appearance and gave birth to a brainless shell. He was so busy at that time that he didn't pay any attention to the harem. Later, the queen mother disappeared. , 34 five years old, died of illness.

After all, the young queen still secretly admired her romantic and handsome husband, but day after day she could only watch him flirting with beauties. No matter how hot a heart is, it will turn cold. No matter how smart a person is, when his heart is cold, he will do nothing. I don't want to be on guard.

Concubine Shu's sachet, Concubine Wen's pen and ink, Concubine Ming's spice, Concubine Xian's peony flower, Concubine Liang's embroidered gold silk handkerchief.

Jiang Che sat in the mourning hall all night. Except for the palace guard who held the lamp, no one accompanied him to keep watch. Later, he only gave Emperor Yuanchu a palace attendant who held the lamp. lights.

After the East Palace came to power, Jiang Che did not proclaim himself emperor, but he stretched out his hands longer than any other emperor. On the day of the queen's death, he buried the four concubines of Emperor Yuanchu alive in the tomb, and the princesses from the Western Regions were sent back to their original places. He knew that that small country was so poor that the emperor could not even afford to wear a silk dress. She had been pampered and pampered for so many years, and when she returned there, her life would be worse than being buried alive.

Jiang Che's behavior became more and more domineering, but he did not want to harm his blood brothers. Several princes were confined in their respective mansions like keeping dogs, and they were accompanied by the guards of the East Palace when they went about their business.

Jiang Che felt that he would go on like this for the rest of his life, and when he had tortured Emperor Yuanchu enough, he would sit on the dragon chair and repeat the emperor's reincarnation.Until he married his wife and had children, he gradually began to feel that life was not so bad. Maybe he could be a completely different emperor from the Yuan Dynasty Emperor, but there is always a but in this world.

Jiang Che slowly raised his head to look at the sky, it was still cold in early spring, the stars were no different from winter, they were very beautiful and bright, the difference was in one's state of mind.

There was a slight knock on the door, and Jiang Che said, "Come in."

Yang Yan's tall figure walked in with great strides wrapped in the cold air outside. He closed the door, and stopped for a while near the door, where charcoal was lit, and he dried up the air-conditioning on his body before he dared to approach Jiang Che.

"Master, I bought the pastry, it is the master's favorite Suji Pear Blossom Cake." Yang Yan said.

Jiang Che glanced at him with little interest: "Well, put it somewhere, I don't want to eat it now."

Yang Yan said cautiously: "Master, my stomach is sick from the cold."

Jiang Che raised his eyebrows: "Won't you buy it when I want to eat again?"

Yang Yan stopped talking, and silently lit a little candle for Jiang Che. His eyes were full of worry. The master always likes to open the windows. Last time he got sick from the cold. Although it is warmer now, it is not too cold. Warm to the point of blowing against the windows.

Jiang Che didn't care about him, and lazily poured himself a cup of tea, with his black gold-rimmed boots cocked high on the table, flipping through the newly published scriptures.

In his thirties, the years have only left a trace of mature temptation on his handsome face, his brow feathers are still proudly raised, his black hair hangs down his cheeks, and he is still the same smile that makes countless noble girls of Beiling want to live or die His Royal Highness the Prince.
