Sha Po Lang

Chang Geng couldn't cry out, and on the way, everyone he met on the way secretly looked at him, and the waves of gazes almost drowned him, but he still couldn't see that he had a hair-like resemblance to the one on the dragon bed. .

He heard Gu Yun whispering in his ear: "It doesn't matter if it's true or not, just call out."

Chang Geng turned his head and saw the eyes of his little adoptive father, those eyes were so clear and cold, without any trace of tears - they were not pretending at all, they looked beautiful and heartless.

The seemingly ruthless man sighed and said in a low voice, "I beg you."

No matter how many conflicts Chang Geng had in his heart, no matter how much he couldn't figure it out, he would compromise after hearing this sentence, and he thought to himself: "Just treat him as a counterfeit and give him comfort."

He lowered his eyes and prevaricated in a nonchalant way: "Father."

Yuan Hedi's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had gathered the last of his life into a ball of light, and it exploded like fireworks.He looked at Chang Geng for a long time as if he couldn't get enough of it, and said with wit and wit: "Give...give me the name Min, and hope that my son is tall and bright, free from worries and worries. I will live a lifetime of peace and live a long life... Do you have a child?" name?"

Chang Geng: "Yes, it's Chang Geng."

Yuan Hedi's lips moved slightly, and there was a "ho ho" in his throat, and he was speechless for a while.

Gu Yun had no choice but to step forward, helped the old emperor up, patted his back lightly, and made him spit out a mouthful of old phlegm.Yuan Hedi rolled his eyes from choking, trembling from panting, lay down with a long sigh, and grabbed Gu Yun's hand with a chicken paw.

Gu Yun: "The minister is here."

Yuan Hedi said like a bellows: "His elder brothers are all grown up, only my Chang Geng, I can't watch him grow up..."

Gu Yun seemed to have sensed it, and met the eyes of the old emperor, the old one and the young one, the one whose tears were still wet and the one who remained calm, they only exchanged glances, and seemed to have a certain kind of tacit understanding very quickly.

Gu Yun: "I know."

"I entrust this child to you, Zixi, I have no one but trust you, you have to take care of him for me..." Yuan Hedi's voice became softer, and he muttered a lot of nonsense , Gu Yun struggled to make out what he meant, "I want to give him a prince... Where did you find him?"

Gu Yun: "Northern border geese return."

"Yanhui..." Emperor Yuanhe repeated in a low voice, "I have never been there, how far away. Then... issue an edict, and issue an edict to designate Li Min, the fourth son of the emperor, as the king of Yanbei, but...cough cough ...but not now, until he is crowned..."

Gu Yun listened quietly. In the Liang Dynasty, the single character is usually a prince. For example, the second prince is named "Wei Wang". .

Emperor Yuanhe: "I'm not wronging him, but I can no longer protect him, and I can't make his brothers feel dissatisfied in the future... Zixi, do you know why I have to ask him to be crowned before he can attack the king?"

Gu Yun paused and nodded.

Chang Geng didn't know what charade they were playing, his heart jumped wildly for no apparent reason, as if he had a premonition of something.

Emperor Yuanhe said: "Because I want to make a decree to adopt my Chang Geng to you, and let him rely on you for a few years without rank or honor. Zixi, you have to treat him well. Don't dislike him, he is more than ten years old, and he won't bother you for a few years, and when he is crowned, you can let him go out and build a mansion, and then it will be the standard of a county king... I have chosen the place..."

When Emperor Yuanhe said this, he choked in his throat and coughed violently. Gu Yun wanted to reach out to help him, but the old emperor swung him away.

The old emperor looked at the inexplicably pale Chang Geng, and the more he watched, the more sad he became.

He thought to himself, such a good child, why can't he be by his side?

Why did he find it so hard to get it back, but he didn't take a look at it?

Emperor Yuanhe hurriedly looked away from Chang Geng, and said to Gu Yun like a cowardly old boy: "It's been a long journey, it's really tiring, let the child go down and have a rest, I'll talk to you a few more words .”

Gu Yun led Chang Geng outside the door, handed it over to the waiter waiting there, and whispered in his ear: "Go and rest first, I will find you later."

Chang Geng didn't say a word, and left silently with the servant leading the way, he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.

This time he became Gu Yun's adopted son, which should have been a good thing, but he couldn't be happy for no reason.

But Jinkou Yuyan has made a decision, here is no room for him to refuse, no room for him to resist, and no room for him to say a word more.

He could only involuntarily follow the servants who lowered their heads and walked away in the palace full of the smell of medicine and death. After walking a few steps, Chang Geng involuntarily looked back at Gu Yun.Just as he saw Gu Yun turning sideways, Hou An Ding had a profile face that could be put into a painting, and the wide and thick court clothes wrapped around him, adding an indescribable sense of restraint out of thin air, making one's heart feel bitter.

"What are you thinking about?" Chang Geng smiled wryly, and thought to himself, "A few days ago, you were the son of a hundred families in the frontier, and you had a mother who would abuse you and poison you, but today you are the adopted son of Marquis An Ding. Can such a good thing be dreamed of?"

He just laughed at himself while being powerless to everything around him. The 13-year-old boy walked through the dimly lit palace corridor, a total of ninety-nine and 81 steps, which he will never forget.

The door was gently closed, and light smoke was faintly emitting from the incense burner above the bed.

Emperor Yuan He said to Gu Yun who was kneeling on the bedside: "I remember, you and A Yan were the best friends when you were young. At the average age, standing together, they look like a pair of dolls made of jade."

Mentioning the third prince who died young, Gu Yun's expression finally changed: "I'm very stubborn, not as good as the third prince who has been educated and sensible since childhood."

"You are not naughty," Yuan Hedi paused, and then repeated in a low voice, "You are not naughty... If Ayan misses you a little bit, why would he die early? Dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes, what is it like?" what kind of tree will it grow into, Zixi, what flows from your body is the iron blood of the late emperor..."

Gu Yun: "I am terrified."

Emperor Yuanhe waved his hand: "There are no outsiders today, so I will tell you a few words of truth. Zixi, you are born to expand your territory, and the wolves will bow their heads tremblingly when they see you, but I am always worried that you are too hostile." Heavy, it will damage the blessings in the future."

There are rumors in the market that Gu Yun's grandfather, Emperor Wu, was murdered too much, so he ended up in a bleak end, and couldn't keep any of his children.

"Although King Wei has a big heart, with you guarding him, the future of the prince will be safe. I am just a little worried about you... You have to listen to my words, everything is too late, you have to cherish your blessings and know how to advance and retreat... The old man of Huguo Temple The abbot can be regarded as watching you grow up from a young age, the Buddha Dharma is boundless, if you have time, go to him to sit and sit more often."

The old bald donkey of Huguo Temple has a crow's mouth, and once said that Gu Yun was destined to bring evil spirits and restrain his six relatives. Because of this, Gu Yun has always refused to step into Huguo Temple.

Hearing the emperor's mention at this time, Gu Yun thought to himself: "By the way, I forgot about that old bald donkey. If I have a chance, I must settle the score with him and burn down his rotten Buddhist hall that deceives the world."

After the death of old Hou Ye, the emperor also used this kind of murderous and ominous argument to weaken Xuantieying.However, in recent years, the Fanbang people have been traveling on the sea, frequently traveling to and from Daliang, the northern border, the Western Regions, and even thousands of miles in the East China Sea. Where are there no covetous eyes looking greedily at the land of China?

Too many murders are ominous. Could it be that peace is the most important thing and everything will be auspicious when the country is in decline, the land is full of smoke, the people are displaced, and corpses are floating for thousands of miles?

If Marshal Gu is as sentimental as his big cousin who is three thousand miles away, then who will the ignorant and unconscious beings in this vast country rely on to guard the territory?

Send imperial court officials to "convince people with virtue"?

Gu Yun not only wants to fight, but also wants to fight once and for all. It is best to directly conquer the Western Regions, and fight to the doorsteps of those Westerners who covet the land of the Central Plains every day, so that they will be terrified and never dare to spy on other people's homes. .

When suppressing the rebellion in the Western Regions, Gu Yun wrote a letter requesting this. The emperor probably thought he was crazy, so he dismissed it without saying anything, and sent him to northern Xinjiang with such an inexplicable task as "find the fourth prince".

Of course, the emperor didn't expect that he took Gu Yun to the northern border, and Gu Yun brought back a barbarian son for him.

There are some people who take the lead in killing stars, if they are not good, they will expand the territory and expand the territory, and they will definitely return to the court and bring disaster to the country and the people.

The amorous emperor who was dying and the ruthless general who was in full bloom lay down and knelt down, digging out their hearts and lungs for the last time on the small bedside, still no one could convince the other.

Yuan Hedi looked into his cold eyes and felt a sudden burst of sadness.

The old emperor thought, if he hadn't been greedy for imperial power back then, would he be just an idle prince fighting dogs and chickens now?

If he can't meet that destined woman, he might give his whole life to someone else, and he doesn't have to separate his wife and children for so many years.

This kind of throne full of thorns and dead bones is probably only qualified to sit on such a decisive, cold-hearted person like the Marquis of Anding, right?

Emperor Yuanhe murmured, "Zixi...Zixi..."

Gu Yun's cast-iron expression fluctuated a bit, his eyelashes drooped slightly, his straight shoulders softened slightly, and they were no longer so straight and unreasonable.

Emperor Yuanhe asked, "Will you hate me?"

Gu Yun: "I dare not."

Emperor Yuanhe asked again: "Then will you miss me in the future?"

Gu Yun shut his mouth.

The old emperor stared at him relentlessly: "Why don't you speak?"

Gu Yun was silent for a while, he didn't look very sad, but said lightly: "If the emperor goes, Zixi will have no relatives."

Emperor Yuanhe's chest seemed to be grabbed by a hand for a moment. He had never seen this little bastard say a soft word in his life. Now, just this sentence seemed to convey the unspoken grievances and love of two generations. The hatred has been wiped out, leaving only a light attachment that is lonely and faded under the passing time.

At this time, a servant cautiously reminded at the door: "Your Majesty, it's time to take the medicine."

Gu Yun came back to his senses, and when he raised his head, he became that unparalleled human-shaped murder weapon again: "The emperor takes care of the dragon body, and I will retire."

Emperor Yuanhe suddenly called him by his nickname: "Little Sixteen!"

Gu Yun paused slightly.

Yuan Hedi struggled to reach under the pillow, and took out a string of ancient wooden beads: "Come here, reach out."

Gu Yun watched the panting old man buckle the string of worthless Buddhist beads on his wrist, feeling a little complicated.

"Big cousin...he's looking at you." Yuan Hedi patted the back of his hand and said almost inaudibly.

Gu Yun felt great grief in his heart, he could hardly maintain his superficial composure, so he had to leave hastily.

Three days later, the emperor collapsed.

Civil and military officials and thousands of people bid farewell to an era again.
