Chang'an Youth Tour

The expression on Xiao Xu's face suddenly became more arrogant, and he said with a little annoyance: "I'm not so honest because I'm afraid, second brother won't touch me if anyone touches me!"

Yan Junyu didn't understand why he insisted on proving to himself that he was not afraid, but in fact, there was nothing to be afraid of, except Emperor Qingde, who was not afraid of Donggong's methods?When it comes to the left and the right, everyone is afraid.But he has always been good-natured, just nodded.

But nodding is not enough, Xiao Xu is too smart, smart people are always easy to think too much, and he said fiercely: "It's not because I'm stupid that I believe in second brother, I'm very smart."

He was also afraid that Yan Junyu would think him timid, and also afraid that Yan Junyu would think him stupid. In fact, Yan Junyu had heard him tell Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan back then, how could he think he was stupid?

Yan Junyu didn't know how to react now, so he could only say, "I know, it's because he just won't touch you."

There is something in Xiao Jingyan that outsiders would consider arrogant, something that made him reject Yun Lan time and time again.Just like the things on Empress Ming Yi, like the Confucian saying that a gentleman should do something or not, but it is higher than that. Confucianism is the way of being a minister, but they are more like the phoenix mentioned in Zhuangzi, not the phoenix tree. They don't live, they don't eat unless they are made of bamboo, like tigers they never eat carrion, because they can catch better things.

Things that can be solved by the kingly way, why resort to the small schemes of intrigue in the palace? What Rong Hao said, the small and big schemes are adopted by a humble person.If the status is as noble as the East Palace, and finally reduced to use these, it must have been completely defeated in the frontal battlefield, and the whole game has been lost, so what's the use of being ruthless?

But Xiao Xu obviously didn't believe him, staring at him with beautiful eyes, he has a kind of leopard-like beauty, fierce and rare, sharp as a knife, such beauty is actually not uncommon, it is rare to see someone like His Royal Highness , but no knife is as sharp as his.

He stared at Yan Junyu for a long time, then suddenly grabbed his clothes and dragged him into the study.

At this time, the lights in the palace were not on yet, but it was already dark. It was dark outside the window. He said that Junyu was by the window. It was too dark to see his expression clearly. He only heard him say fiercely: "Yan Junyu."

"what?"

"I tell you one thing, you can't tell anyone."

"Uh, good."

People who speak like this must have something to say.So Yan Junyu didn't interrupt, just listened quietly, he couldn't see Xiao Xu clearly, but Xiao Xu could see him clearly, Yan Junyu's eyes had a very clean and beautiful texture, and he didn't know what happened when he was grabbed by his clothes What, the look in his eyes is innocent and clear, like an obedient pony.

"I know how my concubine mother died." His voice dropped for a moment, as if he was saying something terrible: "She committed suicide."

Yan Junyu didn't understand the secrets of the palace, and he didn't know that what he said was an old story that had been blocked for more than ten years. It was precisely because he didn't know that Xiao Xu could continue to speak smoothly.

"She didn't enter the palace at the same time as my mother. That's a lie. It's true that my mother and my mother are sisters. The father liked the mother back then. At that time, three thousand people loved him. Before you look at the second brother, except for the eldest brother No one else knew from birth. After the second brother, there was a long period of special favor. But then they had a quarrel..."

"Because of a misunderstanding?" Yan Junyu couldn't help asking.

"It's not a misunderstanding, it's just a disagreement. It may be because of the accumulation of time, or it may be that the queen mother is too arrogant. The father probably thinks that she doesn't really like him, or it may be because she said something angry. In short, he began to favor others. But who is the queen mother?" I don't take it seriously. Father always likes to fight fiercely, because the first emperor liked Uncle Wang of Guangping and didn't like him. He had this knot all his life. However, his mother was a person who didn't like to explain and was very proud. So they As a result of the fierce fighting, my mother also entered the palace."

Yan Junyu's eyes widened in surprise. Emperor Qingde and Empress Mingyi were the most intelligent people in his eyes, and he couldn't guess the direction of this story.

"It's the concubine chosen by the sage..."

"No, my mother's queen entered the palace voluntarily." Xiao Xu pursed his lips, obviously this story was not easy for him, but he finally said it out: "She likes father very much."

Emperor Qingde's appearance, Xiao Jingyan and his face have traces, the Xiao family members have extremely deep outlines, they were once ridiculed by the survivors of the former dynasty as Hu people with the surname Hu, and they killed many people for this.The demeanor of youth can be imagined, the emperor in his prime, no man in the world is better than this, and he has the intention to attack, it is difficult for a woman to escape.This is the proof that Emperor Qingde likes to fight fiercely. Just like Ye Liangyu said, sometimes people are limited by what they experienced in childhood, and they will fall into a kind of frenzy, without thinking about what to do, or even how to do it. Be nice to yourself.

He just wants to win.

"and then?"

"Then I was born, and my mother didn't forgive my father very much from then on, and my father didn't apologize. He only loved my mother and was named a noble concubine, the same deputy queen. But the real break between them was after my mother committed suicide. She knows the truth and can't take it anymore..."

I also want to know that the younger sister of the queen of the dynasty should also be the proud daughter of heaven, and it is a great humiliation to make a pawn with all her heart.Especially when facing his own sister who was betrayed by him, the humiliation was doubled.Even if she is not domineering, with Emperor Qingde's heart, he will deliberately use her to stimulate Empress Mingyi. There are always many rules in the palace. Humiliation, overreach, and then evolved into a concubine's revenge, which was talked about by the little eunuch.What's more, Empress Mingyi has a noble heart, it is very easy to offend her.

That's why it's especially embarrassing when the truth is revealed. Empress Ming Yi's indifferent expression probably added to the power of this humiliation. No wonder the empress said that Xiao Xu's mother was violent, so she committed suicide because of it.

No wonder Emperor Qingde loved Xiao Xu so much, no wonder the Empress raised Xiao Xu as her own child, no wonder the Empress had been separated for so many years.

How can we be husband and wife again after taking the life of a close relative?

Emperor Qingde is old now, but back then he used his powers to the extreme.Empress Ming Yi is also the most outstanding woman, the two smartest people in the world, if they really love each other, there may not be a happy ending?Yan Junyu was shocked, but couldn't speak.

"The concubine who broke the news and the people who served my mother back then have all been dealt with. My mother has protected me very well these years, but I still know. She also knows that I know, but everyone doesn't say it. "

Xiao Xu suddenly stopped talking.It was the light on the corridor outside, and the light came through the mica window, and his face was like a gorgeous flower. He must also feel pain because of this story, and no one in this story is a winner.

How did Empress Ming Yi survive these many years?When Xiao Xu's mother and concubine became the imperial concubine, what was she thinking?How could she hold back for so long without talking until another concubine came to point it out?Yan Junyu suddenly understood that the story Xiao Xu told was Xiao Jingyan's entire childhood.

Emperor Qingde made a promise back then to be a different father from the late emperor, but in the end he couldn't escape the reincarnation of fate.What's more, when everything happened, Emperor Qingde was already in power, and there was no excuse for him.Yan Junyu's heart tightened for a moment, and he suddenly understood what power is that can turn people into the kind of people he hates the most.

That day in Sihong Hall, he told himself the story of looking at the plum blossoms, not that Emperor Qingde had only treated him badly now.

Long before he came here, he had already had many days, the same as the day when Emperor Qingde saw plum blossoms when he was young.There is no need to wait for the Xirong people's scheme to start, the loving father in his memory has long since ceased to exist.

His eyes, the same eyes as Empress Ming Yi's, are too deceiving.The seven emotions and six desires can never be contaminated by the lofty and noble mountain mist, so Emperor Qingde was obsessed with proving it.Everyone in the world knows that the moonlight is beautiful, and it will not leave any scars when cut with a knife or an axe. No one remembers that they are also flesh and blood, and they also have a beating heart.

Will he be as sad as himself?Was he as heartbroken as he was in front of the second gate that day?

Yan Junyu withdrew his dazed expression, seeing Xiao Xu in front of him, Xiao Xu seemed to be very nervous too, that's what happens to people who hold out a heart, because they don't know how others will treat him.

"He won't hurt you." He said suddenly.

"Of course I know that my second brother won't..." Xiao Xu looked about to get angry again.

"Whether you are like now or like the First Prince, he will not hurt you." Yan Junyu said seriously.

His words hit the key point, honestly, of course nothing will happen, life will be meaningless if it continues like this, obviously there is still a long way to go from the flamboyant Seventh Prince Xiao Xu to King Guangping.If that is the only choice, the end of life can be seen at a glance, which makes people feel as heavy as an iron block.

Young people are always unable to submit obediently in the face of pure power, like a little leopard being pinned by the neck, always struggling.It is difficult for people who have not experienced it to understand the suffocation. Even if you know that you are in danger of dying, you can't help but move a few times, because it makes you feel that you are still alive.

"You know again?"

"I know. He's not someone who can't tolerate these things."

The Xiao Jingyan he likes is the one with the broadest heart. Although he is a dragon imprisoned in a golden cage, when he sees that others can run freely outside, not only will he not be jealous, but he will be happy to see his success.Just like he never restrained himself from learning anything, even though he had learned a lot in the East Palace, he must have learned a lot from watching Emperor Qingde and the Queen's separation.

Xiao Xu's expression was complicated, and he didn't know if he listened or not, so he just ran away.Yan Junyu was going to observe whether he listened, but soon lost his mind.

He was practicing with a gun when the incident happened. He didn't see the scene with his own eyes, and it was later pieced together from other people's words.

After the eldest prince was paralyzed, King Guangping came back from Emperor Qingde and visited the Changchun Palace, nominally to pay his respects to the queen, but there were many offenses in his words, and according to the records of the prince, it was the queen who was displeased.

But what the queen said, even Qi Zilang did not dare to record it.

She said: "If I want to touch his son, I can just call him over and kill him. Why waste a good horse."

What she said was not wrong. The queen is the mother of a country, and it is justified to punish the prince. It is not without precedent in the Great Zhou Palace. If the queen is willing, the harem can last for several years without a prince living to adulthood.

But when he said this, even the king of Guangping didn't dare to accept it, and quickly asked his wife to leave.The censor even rushed to work overnight, and impeachment memorials flew to Yonggan Palace like snowflakes.There was a lot of discussion in the palace, some said that Empress Yi lost her composure because she imprisoned the prince, and some said that she said this happily, but Yan Junyu knew that these were just speculations...

He had meals with Empress Ming Yi every day, knowing that she was just too tired.

Yan Junyu and his mother went to pilgrimage when they were young, and they passed an ancient temple that had been in disrepair for a long time, and the Buddha statue was already mottled. When Yan Junyu touched the Buddha statue, the original intact gold paint fell off whole and shattered into ashes on the ground .

Empress Mingyi looked so much like that god statue, she was so tired, it was very rare for people like them to say something inappropriate, because they had been soaked in the palace for many years, and it became an instinctive reaction.But she is too lazy to take care of it anymore, she doesn't play those tricks anymore.It's just telling everyone that the empress wants to live and die with the East Palace regardless of the consequences or the cost.Even King Guangping's nonsensical guesses would be taken over by her, and she even took the initiative to provoke the attack of the censor.

She used herself as a bargaining chip and put it on, without any change, and never said a word.

Like the idol, her heart may have been broken many years ago, but it still maintains a superficial integrity.

The final battle came, and she could finally break down quietly and slowly.

On the ninth day after the Eastern Palace was taken over by the garrison, Chayunshuo's western army marched straight into Jingbei. Meng Cang seemed to have lost interest in Yanbei, and immediately led his army to the south, and the battle turned to Jingbei.Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, because Zhenbei is mostly desert and Gobi. Although it is not as good as Suiye City in Yanbei, the three main passes are there, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the troops are scattered, and it is not easy to collapse overnight. Ru Mengcang can only nibble away step by step, but also beware of tug-of-war.Although the Marquis of Jingbei could not defeat Xirong, the officials of the Great Zhou finally did not have to worry about the bad news that Suiye had fallen in the middle of the night.

At the same time, the empress ordered the princess to settle down in the morning and evening, and the princess sent the confession directly to the imperial court.

Although the crown princess is a female family member of the East Palace, she is under the jurisdiction of the queen according to the old rules. Emperor Qingde couldn't help it, so the East Palace lenient and released Ye Xuanji.
