Rebirth of Glory and Splendour

Chapter 118 Seeking Roots

In the late spring of the first year of Wanchang, an unpretentious carriage was driving smoothly on the official road in Langya County, south of Yujing.

Regardless of the inconspicuous appearance of this car, if a knowledgeable person sees it, he will understand how rare it is.Not to mention, the two horses pulling the cart came from Dawan, not to mention the driver and the accompanying guards, all of them were top experts.

The interior of the carriage was exquisitely and elegantly furnished, and all the things used were top-grade. Wei Zhao sat by the window, lifted the curtain to look out the window from time to time, with a slightly serious expression, but kept silent, wondering what he was thinking.

Jun Qing sat across from Wei Zhao, holding a teacup in his hand, hesitant to speak.He waited for a long time, and seeing that Wei Zhao really had no intention of speaking, he said coldly, "You asked me to come in the car, you don't mean you want me to stay with you in a daze?"

Wei Zhao put down the car curtain, turned his head to look at Jun Qing, and said calmly, "Of course not."

"Oh." Junqing responded meaningfully, "What is that for?"

Last year, Wei Zhao passed the throne to Wei Chongrong despite the fierce opposition from the courtiers.At the beginning of the year, Wei Chongrong officially ascended the throne, and then changed to Yuan.Then Wei Zhao left the capital under the banner of "There is no second sun in the sky, and there is no second monarch in the country", saying that he was going to the Taiping Palace to recuperate.

In fact, Wei Zhao has never been to the Taiping Palace at all, and he plans to travel around the world in a low suit.

Jun Qing has no objection to Wei Zhao's travel plan. He travels in a micro-clothes and is accompanied by many expert guards headed by Huo Qingyang. Safety is not a problem. He has no objections at all to where he likes to go.

But the premise is, can Wei Zhao not take him with him when he goes out.

During Wei Zhao's reign, Huo Qingyang was in charge of the Dongcheng Camp, and Ji Xin was in charge of the West Camp.Now, Wei Zhao kidnapped Huo Qingyang to go out, and temporarily handed over the affairs of Dongcheng Daying to Tuoba Xianhan. If Ji Xin also ran away, there would not even be a town in Beijing.

Jun Qing didn't want to go out, but Wei Zhao told him that he was going to Jun's house, so he had to accompany him.

Although they grew up close together since they were young, and their relationship is better than that of brothers, but before Wei Su passed away in Yongjia 52, Wei Zhao and Jun Qing never knew their own backgrounds.

Knowing that he was not the son of Empress Ji, and that he and Wei Ming were not brothers from the same mother, Wei Zhao's first reaction was that the emperor was crazy, he was talking nonsense, he had no idea what he was talking about.

How could he not be the queen mother's son, her love for him was the same as that of the crown prince, how could he not be the younger brother of Princess Yuankang and Wei Ming, their love for him was so sincere and unreserved.

Wei Su made a mistake, it must be, Wei Zhao shook his head in disbelief.

He knew his father, he was a man who valued power and martial arts more than feelings.Empress Ji was born in Changning Palace, her father, brother and nephew made great military achievements, and she has a stunning appearance that ordinary people can't match, but her position in the heart of her father is nothing more than that.As for the men and women in Wei Su's harem, they were fleeting like meteors, without leaving the slightest ripple.

It was hard for Wei Zhao to believe, if he wasn't Empress Ji's son, where did Wei Su's love for him come from.Concubine Xin Gui and Concubine Yun were once favorites, but after their early deaths, Wei Su did not show any more attention to Wei Xu and Wei Shi.

Who is the biological mother he has never met before, who can make Wei Su, who has always been ruthless, remember her in his heart more than 20 years later and love his son forever.

Wei Zhao's mood was very complicated. On the one hand, he didn't want to believe what Wei Su said, and on the other hand, he couldn't help himself to guess who his biological mother was.

Finally, Wei Su uttered the name that made him doubt his hearing under Wei Zhao's expectant eyes.

King's Landing? !

Zhaoyang Huanhou Junlin? !

The undefeated God of War of the Dayan Dynasty? !

Wei Zhao suddenly widened his eyes, which were full of disbelief.

He stared fixedly into Wei Su's eyes without blinking.

This is impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

Wei Zhao suddenly remembered that many years ago, Wei Chongrong had asked him if Jun Qing was Jun Lin's own child.

He vowed that it was impossible because the time was not right.

How could Wei Zhao have thought that not only Junqing, but also himself, was also born of Junlin.

And judging from their brothers' birth date and King's Landing's itinerary at that time, he had them before the decisive battle in Mobei.

Because after the decisive battle, Junlin returned directly to Langya, and when he returned to Yujing, he already had Junqing with him.

Shocked, Wei Zhao was inexplicably thankful. It turned out that he had also been on the Mobei battlefield and survived in peace. It was really not easy.

If Wei Su had spoken another name, it might take Wei Zhao a long time to adapt and accept this fact.

But in the case of King's Landing, this process can be omitted.

You know, in Wei Zhao's life experience from childhood to adulthood, the name Junlin is unique.

Long before he had a precise understanding of the world, Wei Su would often mention King's Landing in front of him intentionally or unintentionally.

Although Wei Zhao was only three years old when Jun Lin passed away, and had no memory of his appearance, he still remembered the song "Long Xiangshou" and various events related to him clearly.

only……

The object of simple yearning and longing, suddenly became the person of my life...

It is obvious how much impact Wei Zhao received.

It's not that he hasn't been curious about how such two people got mixed up.

It's not surprising that Wei Su fell in love with Junlin. From appearance to personality to martial arts, he is the type he likes.

But where does Jun Lin's feelings for Wei Su come from? Wei Zhao just can't figure it out. He obviously has a better choice.

The dead are respected, and it was the decision made by Junlin himself, Wei Zhao didn't care about these issues for too long.

Besides, Wei Su chose to reveal the life experiences of his two sons at this time, not because he wanted to change anything.He just doesn't want Wei Zhao and Jun Qing to know nothing about their origins, they are the closest twins after all.

After Wei Su passed away, all the relics left by Junlin in the palace were buried with him, which made Wei Zhao very speechless, and he couldn't leave him with some thoughts about seeing things and thinking about others.

Later, Wei Zhao quietly asked Junqing if there was anything left by Junlin around him.

The answer I got was that, if the Zhaoyang Hou Mansion itself is not counted, there is almost nothing.Junlin lived in the Changning Palace when he was young, and he was granted the title of Hou Kaifu at the age of 16. It is said that there should be many things related to him in these two places.But in fact, Junlin lived in the palace most of the time, or in the military camps and battlefields. For him, Changning Palace or Zhaoyanghou Palace were just places to stay, and he never lived there for a long time.

Wei Zhao was even more helpless when he heard the words. His identity as a cousin and the name of a monarch and minister were there, so he could do nothing for King's Landing.

After more than 20 years of busy work, the situation in the dynasty has changed, and the tide has ebbed and flowed.After finally passing the throne to his son, Wei Zhao felt relaxed, and finally had time to do things that he wanted to do but had no chance to do before.

First of all, he wants to go back to Jun's house to take a look, it is also the place where he was born after all.If in the past, Wei Zhao would not have dared to have such an idea at all, for no reason, he went to Jun's house, not just out of thin air to make people guess what it was, Wei Chongrong was more legitimate than him.

Now that he's abdicated, and he's traveling in microservices again, it's okay to go there, maybe he can find something.

Wei Zhao was not familiar with Jun's family, so he was afraid that he would be confused by his rash visit, so he asked Jun Qing to accompany him.Although Jun Qing seldom goes back to his hometown, he and Langya Jun's family have been in correspondence for a long time, so they need to know more about the situation of Jun's family.

Except for Junlin, there are very few members of the Jun family who have served as officials in the past, and there is no family name, but the Jun family uses history books to pass down the family, and if we really want to talk about family history, not to mention the Wei family, even the Shenchuan family in the previous dynasty did not have their family. long.

Wei Zhao didn't think about going back to the Jun's house to meet anyone, he just wanted to see that place, who made the Jun's family rules too strict, and the children in the family were not allowed to take concubines easily, which caused the descendants of Dizhi to be very weak for generations. From time to time, I have to adopt a child from a side branch.

In the generation of Jun Lin's father, Jun Ya, he was the only son in the eldest house, but he and Ji Yang reconciled within two years of their marriage, setting an unprecedented record for the Jun family.To make matters worse, Ji Yang agreed to give his son the surname Jun, but refused to give him back.

It's not that the Jun family never thought about taking Junlin back, but after Junya went to Yujing to meet him, no one mentioned it again.

Junya has two sons, one is Junlin and the other is Junfeili.According to the family rules of the Jun family, the head of the family must be a descendant. If the current head of the family does not have a son, he can only adopt an heir to his brothers or even cousins, but he cannot let his own son inherit.

Wei Zhao seriously suspected that Jun Ya asked Jun Lin to take Jun Feili away from Jun's house because it was too embarrassing for him to stay.

Jun Lin has no intention of inheriting, Jun Feili has no qualifications, and Jun Ya has no brothers, so he can only adopt his cousin's eldest son as his heir.This is also one of the reasons why Junqing doesn't like to go back to Jun's house. His three uncles are all in Yujing, so going back to his hometown is really meaningless.

The carriage was walking steadily and slowly in the direction of Langya. Wei Zhao was silent for a long time before asking softly: "You said we can go back, can we find some traces left by him?" None in the palace, neither Changning Prince's Mansion nor Zhaoyang Marquis Mansion. No, he can only count on the Jun family.

"There are definitely no things, but people who know him..." Junqing paused, and said slowly: "There is one more." Su took him to be buried with him.

"Who?" Wei Zhao's eyes suddenly lit up.Junlin has almost no friends, and the only one or two are long gone. At least when Wei Zhao learned of his life experience, it was already very difficult for him to ask about the past.

Jun Qing took a sip of tea and said softly, "My grandfather, actually... is also yours."

"Is it my grandfather?" Wei Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then murmured for a while, "Is the old man still alive? How long will he live?" He and Jun Qing are both old enough to know their destiny, and his grandfather is still alive. It's incredible.

"Cough cough..." Jun Qing coughed lightly, as if choked by Wei Zhao's words, he calmed down and said, "In terms of age, grandfather and grandmother are still... under your Majesty." Wei Zhao easily passed After accepting King's Landing, he will always address Wei Su as His Majesty.

Wei Zhao's eyebrows twitched, and he decided to ignore the messy accounts of the previous generation, and restarted the topic: "You never told me that the old man is still alive..." If he knew that Junya was still alive, he You should find a chance to go out of the palace.

Jun Qing was surprised and said: "I thought...you wouldn't be interested?" For example, he never had any sense of belonging to the Wei family, and he never felt that Wei Zhao robbed him of anything, so far he can only kneel down secretly King's Landing.

Wei Zhao pursed his lips and remained silent.If it wasn't for Junya's prophecy back then, his and Junqing's lives would probably have been swapped, so he was very interested in the grandfather who could be said to have changed the trajectory of his own destiny.

During the trip to Langya, Wei Zhao gained more than expected.Leaving aside the fact that the famous and talented grandfather really lived up to his reputation, more importantly, there are indeed many objects left by Junlin in Jun's house, and they are related to their brothers.

For example, the handprints and footprints they made when they were born, and the portrait that Jun Lin drew next to them when they hugged and slept together. The paintings were so lifelike that Wei Zhao and Jun Qing couldn't help but think of the reunion and posture of ten years ago. It's exactly the same.

Jun Qing's personality is not like Jun Lin's, but has a bit of a gentleman's taste. He has a cold attitude towards people and things, and rarely shows obvious emotions. But seeing those paintings and words that he has never seen before, Jun Qing is rarely angry He asked why Junya never told himself these things, which made him think for many years that his father left him nothing, but when Wei Zhao came, he gave everything away. Is there any difference between them?

Junya smiled lightly, and then innocently said that this was what Junlin meant, these things were reserved for the two brothers, and he could only take them out when they returned to Jun's house together. As for why, they just I can ask King's Landing in the future.

Jun Qing was speechless, he raised his eyebrows and said nothing, he really wanted to ask Jun Lin, but could he ask.Moreover, when they were born, King's Landing was only in their early twenties, so why they are arranging these things is really a bit strange.

Wei Zhao obviously thought of this question too, he frowned slightly, and looked sideways at Junya.Wei Su and Jun Lin are more than ten years apart. Normally, Wei Su should be the one who walks ahead, but besides Wei Su, is it possible for others to tell them the truth?

unless……

King's Landing already knew...

His life is not long...

That's why there was such an explanation. He was sure that Wei Su would tell the truth to the two children one day in the future, and he didn't want them to regret too much.

Wei Zhao hesitated for a long time, but finally said: "He...isn't he afraid that we didn't come?"

"If that's the case, I can only take these things away." When he decided to send Wei Zhao back to the palace, Jun Lin hesitated. , seems quite interesting.

Wei Zhao and Jun Qing looked at each other silently, and there was a flash of joy in their eyes.

It was night, Wei Zhao and Jun Ya held a candle night talk, and they had a very happy conversation. Finally, he came up with an idea. After he asked Jun Qing to return to Beijing, he told Wei Chongrong that he would send the prince to Jun's house and study with Jun Ya for two years.

The old man has taught and educated people all his life, and his disciples and grandchildren are all over the government and the public, but he just refuses to become an official. After much deliberation, Wei Zhao finally came up with this compromise method.

Jun Qing had no objection to Wei Zhao's arrangement. He thought for a while and asked in a low voice, "You seem to be very worried about the prince?" Since he was young, Dai was by his side to educate him personally. It's about sending people to Jun's house to study and walking corpse files.

"Tuantuan's situation in the future..." Wei Zhao paused, and said for a long time, "It's completely different from Rong'er. He has no way out, and he has to do his best." When Wei Chongrong ascended the throne, he became the crown prince, and there was only one road ahead for Wei Qian.

"Are you worried about Yuanyuanquan?" Tuanyuanyuan has just turned ten years old, and Xiaoquanquan is only three years old. The brothers have always been respectful and close to each other. Wei Zhao seems to be thinking too far.

Wei Zhao sighed lowly, and said softly, "It's not a bad thing to take precautions before they happen." He couldn't tell Junqing that what he was most worried about was actually Wei Chongrong, even though he was still a spoiled son right now. The silly father who spoils him so much.

But Wei Ming's lesson from the past is right in front of him, so it is impossible for Wei Zhao not to think about it.In the last years of Yongjia, Wei Zhao could see clearly how complicated Wei Su's attitude towards Wei Ming was. When Wei Ming was young, Wei Su loved him no less than Wei Chongrong loved Wei Qian.

There is also Wei Lan's Yin Jian, who was born in the royal family, and it is difficult to avoid some fights even among the brothers. The most effective way to prevent the younger brothers from having unnecessary thoughts is that the prince himself is strong enough not to give other princes any chance .

They also entered the palace school at the age of six. Wei Zhao and Wei Chongrong followed Tuantuan's studies closely by coincidence. They couldn't relax at all, and there were various make-up classes at any time.

In contrast, Yuanyuan's life is very carefree, she likes to learn, she likes to learn, she doesn't like to learn, she just plays, and no one talks much.

Junqing was silent, and asked after a long while: "Have you asked grandfather what he meant? I remember that he has not taken care of his disciples himself for a long time?"

Wei Zhao shook his head: "What are you asking? What if the old man refuses me? I can still force him to fail. If I send him over directly, I don't believe he can drive my family out of the house." He glanced proudly at I took a look at Junqing.

Jun Qing was completely speechless, Wei Zhao cut it first and played it later, what else could he say.

After finishing the trip to Jun's house, Wei Zhao and Huo Qingyang went north to revisit their hometown in Youzhou, and Junqing went back to Yujing directly, and conveyed Wei Zhao's meaning to Wei Chongrong and Junhua.

Jun Hua was puzzled when he heard the words, no matter how talented his great-grandfather was, there was no reason to send the prince to him to study.

He saw that Junqing had no intention of explaining, and Wei Chongrong looked as if he had realized something, so he didn't ask any questions.

When Jun Qing left the palace, Jun Hua asked, "Brother Rong, do you understand what Emperor Father intends?"

Wei Chongrong nodded, but smiled and said nothing.Before, when Wei Zhao went to Lord Langya's house suddenly, he felt a little strange, and vaguely thought of something, but couldn't believe it.

This time, Wei Zhao wanted to send Tuantuan over, which was a complete confirmation of his guess.

Seeing that Wei Chongrong was silent for a long time, Junhua became anxious, and urged: "If you know it, just say it, don't make people hungry, okay?"

Wei Chongrong lowered his head, put his mouth close to his, and spoke in a voice that the third person could never hear.

Gradually, Jun Hua's expression froze, he opened his mouth as if to say something, but he didn't make a sound.

Wei Chongrong understood Junhua's mood very well, and shook his hand vigorously.He observed back and forth for more than 20 years, and compared the information obtained from the two generations before he dared to think that way, but before today, he didn't even dare to ask Wei Zhao for confirmation.

Junhua had never heard of it, and it was inevitable that he would be shocked.

After a long time, Jun Hua murmured: "It turns out that I never called Brother Rong wrong from the beginning..."

Wei Chongrong didn't expect Junhua to think of this, and he was also dumbfounded.
