Chang'an Youth Tour

When this time really came, both sides calmed down.

Ye Xuanji's expression was particularly calm, she seemed to have something to focus on for a moment, and her whole aura seemed to be uprooted.The Ye family's eyes are extremely dark and deep, and there is a dangerous feeling when they are focused, which makes people involuntarily attracted.

Yan Junyu didn't have time to see her move to reverse the situation six years ago, but today she was lucky enough to see the whole process of her making a decision.

"If you want to go to the battlefield, you can't use Yan Junyu's name." She said right away. In fact, Yan Junyu also vaguely knew it in her heart, but she didn't dare to think about it.

When Luo Heng talked about the emperor's mind at the beginning, although he didn't exaggerate the horror of imperial power, who didn't know it?

If Xiao Jingyan didn't want him to leave, he couldn't leave no matter what.Ao Ji was seriously injured when he broke into the palace gate back then, but with Yan Junyu's kung fu, he couldn't even enter the second gate of the East Palace.

"You can only change your name and surname, but the promotion of soldiers is too slow, and the swords and arrows on the battlefield have no eyes, so you can't show your talent." Ye Xuanji directly unfolded a page of letterhead, writing while writing: "There are a few Xiaohou's mansions under the Ye family. , There are also extinct heirs. At this time, many princes are going to guard the border, and they will not attract attention. You bring hundreds of people to join the army, so that you can start from a small captain and be promoted quickly. Where are you going?"

Just as Yan Junyu was about to speak, she said again: "Don't tell me, you don't need to tell me, and you don't need to tell anyone. I will give you three identities, you choose one, and you enter the military camp and change your name. Keep a low profile. Bring someone with you. go?"

"I want to take Wei Ru with me."

If he didn't take Wei Ru with him, Wei Ru would definitely die.Although he can't speak beautiful words like himself, he is the same person as Ao Ji.

"Okay, you go back now, and when the time comes, I will call you naturally."

When Xiao Jingyan returned to the East Palace, it was already twilight.

He is no longer the "His Royal Highness" who can walk casually in the palace. Big, there is no need to keep the spirit for 49 days, and it is impossible to talk about keeping filial piety for three years, but the rules are strict. Today, there are nine people from the clan's side, all of whom are juniors. Emperor Qingde is only 56 years old. It is an ominous omen if the elders of the clan are not allowed to approach the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and it is an ominous sign to offer sacrifices to the young.

Prince Qing was the saddest, weeping and coughing up blood, everyone around felt sad.

The feelings of the royal family are always like this, and there is also jealousy and suspicion between the brothers. Only when life and death are at stake can they show some feelings.Emperor Qingde passed away, and the honor, disgrace and safety of the past few decades have flowed eastward. This cry is like Kong Ming crying for Zhou Yu, and he is also frightened like a companion like a tiger. How can he not cry a lot.

In contrast, the Changchun Palace is much quieter. They just devote themselves to worshiping the Buddha. They have not had any water or rice for a day and a night. They have been entangled for many years. The most glorious glory and the greatest humiliation are tormented in their hearts day and night. I am afraid that the tears will dry up. , Even love and hate are blunt, like a mountain crumbling slowly, Emperor Qingde is gone, and Empress Mingyi will never be there again.

It wasn't until early in the morning that I heard that the Queen Mother had eaten two mouthfuls of bird's nest porridge presented by the Crown Princess. At this time, Ye Xuanji was always the one who had a way.

Everything was settled, the clan was appeased, the servants were inspected, Xuan Tongfu just cried with joy in his eyes, Yong Hanhai was crying like a concubine, and the Jin faction was also trembling, as if a catastrophe was imminent.Xiao Jingyan remained expressionless, the so-called unfathomable power of heaven.

Back to the Eastern Palace, the lights were brightly lit, and it was already white. Yun Lan was also completely naked, and she led the Eastern Palace to kneel and greet her at the main entrance. The early spring was chilly, her clothes were thin, and there was a tinge of red in her eyes, which indicated she was ambitious.Ye Liangyu is also a patient. After this battle, Donggong can't say that it was costless, but it really won a big victory.He also wears heavy filial piety. The Ye family is no stranger to power, not as obvious as Yun Lan, but his figure is tall and straight, like a sword out of its sheath.

The young people standing here at this moment, he, Yun Lan, Rong Hao... and even the former East Palace, are only in their twenties, and they are in their prime years. In the next few decades, the great rivers and mountains will be like a blank scroll, just waiting for them to display What I have learned all my life is to return the world to a glorious and prosperous age. Tens of thousands of nations have come to court, and their names have to be recorded in history books for thousands of years.

In contrast, Rong Hao was too silent. Guo Xiao was not allowed to drink for a hundred days, so I don't know how he survived, but the Rong family is now an important minister, and this generation has produced a large number of talents.Rong Hao has paved the way in the Eastern Palace for the past ten years, and his peers Zhilan Yushu entered the political situation one by one.The future Great Zhou will reproduce the glory of the founding of the country: Rong and Ye share the world.

It's just that their emperor, His Majesty, was a little absent-minded.

"Where's Xiaoyan?" He asked Yunlan.

He received the news of Emperor Qingde's final assassination result immediately, and he was really concerned about it, otherwise, how could he think that Emperor Qingde lost everything and still had one son to break through?The result was indeed the case, but Suzaku's serious injury surprised him a bit. No wonder Ye Liangyu suddenly said a few days ago, "Too hard is easy to break, and people who are too ruthless are very easy to give up." It turned out that Suzaku had the will to die.

In terms of insight into human nature, the Ye family is indeed unparalleled in the world.

"Xiaoyan is sleeping. I went to Shensi Hall once, and fell asleep when I came back."

Xiao Jingyan quietly walked into the bedroom, Yun Lan has always been thoughtful, and the furnishings have been replaced with plain blue and moon white, only the curtains are still hanging, a figure is vaguely sleeping on the bed, Xiaoyan's shoes are still placed in front of the bed.

"Your Highness?" Yun Lan brought some tea. Today is destined to be a sleepless night. He won't stay here for long, so he has to go back to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to guard the spirit. Ye Liangyu is also sorting out the political affairs that need to be decided by him. very busy.

"let it go."

Everyone withdrew, but he still didn't know how to speak.

The word love has always been heavy, and the mind is like an ocean. Even if there is no strategy left, it can't be regarded as winning a word of love, let alone at such a time.He pondered for a long time before he found the topic.

"A long time ago, my father insisted on choosing a concubine for me."

It was after Ye Xuanji made the princess concubine, how arrogant the East Palace was, and the husband and wife respected each other like ice. At that time, Emperor Qingde also had a change of heart, and selected all the best women in the world, especially the noble women in Beijing.The mothers in the palace visited and checked, and selected their temperament and appearance one by one.I also thought of Ye Xuanji's cold and arrogant personality, good at power and tactics, maybe that's why she couldn't get along with each other, so she turned to look for a talented woman who is gentle and handsome, with a noble heart, and has the style of a nobleman in the forest.It was also because at the Qionglin Banquet that year, there was a singer who wrote a poem to reconcile with the East Palace. She was very amazing. Prince Qing made a big fuss and finally sent her to the East Palace, so I wanted to reproduce this good story.

In the end, Xue's family was chosen.

In Beijing, the leaves are falling, and the mountains are covered with heavy snow.It was a word from a good person, about the two most beautiful and talented women in Beijing, Ye was Ye Xuanji, and Xue was Xue Tong from the Xue family.The mother in the palace brought the queen's letter to Xue's family to say congratulations, how honorable the East Palace is, and the talent is rare in a hundred years, Xue's family is noble, and the Imperial College sacrifices wine, so it happens to be the side concubine of the East Palace.

But Xue Tong received the letter, closed the door for a long time, and only replied a poem when he came out.

The poem comes from the Tang Dynasty. When Li Bai passed the Yellow Crane Tower, he became very popular in poetry, but he dared not write.

She compared herself to Li Bai, and the world thought that the Cui Hao she was talking about was Ye Xuanji, and said she was arrogant.In terms of family background and appearance, Ye Xuanji has the upper hand over her, Cui Hao is just a brilliant song about the Yellow Crane Tower, and Li Bai is a poet of the ages.Only those who know the secrets of the palace know that the Cui Hao she is referring to is Ye Liangyu.

Even if he is full of talents, facing thousands of miles of beautiful scenery, he has no choice but to retreat sadly, and the heart of Donggong already belongs to him.Even if it is impossible to break up, but once the sea is too difficult, with Ye Lingyu in front of him, who would dare to go to the class to get an axe?Who can beat this shadow?

Yun Lan said that she wanted to kill her all over the family, but it was not cruel.The Xue family has been immersed in the Qingliu scholars for a long time, and it has also been infected with bad habits. It is not some stupid king who wants to die. There is nothing wrong with the East Palace in terms of propriety and law. It is just a selection of concubines. If you want to put on a posture that you would rather die, that's fine, and you have to show off your rhetoric, and even reveal the secrets of the royal family, I'm afraid people in the world won't understand.It happened to be what Ye Xuanji said, a person who is trying to catch fame.

The dignity of the royal family should not be offended, not to mention that there is a royal secret involved in it.Emperor Qingde was also furious at that time, and even Empress Ming Yi, who had always been cold, was also furious.

The imperial power is supreme, besides, what she offended was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the East Palace, the most valued prince of Emperor Qingde, but she compared him to a castle, Ye Liangyu and her each asked a few words, how arrogant.

At that time, Emperor Qingde was going to pick a fight and ransack the family, so as to complete the reputation of the Xue family.He was still in his prime at that time, and he was very good at rectifying civil servants, so many scholarly families were wiped out without leaving any traces.

But Xue Tong was lucky to meet Xiao Jingyan.

In the whole matter, Donggong was the most innocent, the choice of concubine was Emperor Qingde's idea, and Changchun Palace was also involved, the Xue family's pretentiousness made people in the world think that it was Donggong who wanted her.But Xiao Jingyan has such a big heart, the whole Guozijian colleagues wrote a letter to plead guilty, begged the sage to go online, and sent the memorial to the imperial court. Emperor Qingde was dumbfounded, he didn't expect it to be written by Donggong.

Yun Lan watched the whole process and was shocked by his chest.He hadn't met Yan Junyu at that time, so he seldom smiled, so he just said indifferently: "It's just words of emotion, why bother."

Since Donggong personally spared him, Emperor Qingde didn't mind, it was just a resignation and distribution. The bitter cold in Saibei is suitable for Xue's family to study.

Yun Lan remembered this incident particularly deeply, and held a deep grudge, so Xiao Jingyan only mentioned a word in the Hall of Yonghe, and she immediately realized that she was still intent on killing.

But in a sense, what Xue Tong said was correct.

With Ye Liangyu around, people in the world, even if they want to win Xiao Jingyan's heart, they have to shrink back. The three disciples of the old Ye Xiang, the brothers and sisters of the Ye family are all dragons and phoenixes, and there is no one in this world who can match them. Dare to break in?

Yun Lan cried because of this.

Xiao Jingyan actually felt sorry for his small words.

Because of the heavy past that he carried on him, and because he was born with a rival in love, Ye Liangyu, even if he said he didn't care, but Ye Liangyu was standing in front of him alive, who would not mind?Who can not compare?Even though it wasn't his fault, what's wrong with Xiaoyan?Carefree boy, why do you have to bear these burdens?The royal family is noble, and it is for outsiders to see. In front of Xiao Yan, he is just Xiao Lu. If Xiao Yan is not good enough, what should we do?

These dark past events, these thoughts, how to speak?

Xiao Jingyan could only remain silent.

The brocade tent was lowered, and there was silence inside and outside the tent. He was silent for a long time, and then spoke with a bit of bitterness.

"The emperor may not have a heart, but Xiao Ju only has a heart, and it's not a pretty heart, but whether Xiaoyan wants it or not, that's all I can give."

These words are so pale, they are not even as powerful as Rong Hao's shattering Ye Hong. His youthful spirit, rebellious, and ignorant of the heights of the sky and the earth are all given to Ye Liangyu.His little words deserve the best things in the world, but he can't give them.He also wanted to ignore it, but now he already knew the price of everything.

At the gate of the palace that day, he stared at Xiaoyan in the imperial chariot, and he may have stared at Xiaoyan like this many times later, possessing a young man is like holding sand in his hands, losing every moment, the tighter he grasps, the faster he falls .But human nature is like this, before letting go, who can't help but hurry up?

He is Xiao Jingyan. For the people in the world, love is a blazing flame. Only for the royal family, love is restraint. You must tie the beast in your heart to prevent it from swallowing everything.What Emperor Qingde didn't understand was that a good swimmer drowns in water, if you use power to get him, then when you lose power, you will also lose him.

Not only did he have the part that belonged to Empress Ming Yi, but also the part that belonged to Emperor Qing De, the evil dragon swallowed by power.If he wants to get anything, it's impossible to fail.The only one who can fight against him is himself.This is the fate of being a king, and it is also Xiao Lu's fate.What Luo Heng said in the third lesson is the answer, but Yan Junyu still doesn't understand.

There was a dark side to him that no one had ever seen, and no one could teach him how to control it.The only person who can teach him is already lying in the mausoleum.Everyone in the world rejoiced that the new emperor came to the throne, only Xiao Su lost his father.

He doesn't even need power, as long as he uses some tricks, he can keep Yan Junyu in the court like he did when he attracted Xiaoyan. They are people who are destined to belong to each other.It's just that Xiaoyan still doesn't understand the price of all this.Ao Ji's greedy puppy, although he can't help it when he steals food, he will regret it when his stomach hurts.

Luo Heng trusted him and could make the right choice at critical moments.Yan Junyu cannot be swallowed up by power, let alone Xiao Suo.

Yun Lan thought that he knew the meaning of Xiao Jingyan's glance at him in the Palace of Yonghe, that she wanted her to bring Xiaoyan back safely.

In fact, he already knew at that time that Emperor Qingde could not kill Xiaoyan.

What he thought was that he had already placed so many people around Xiaoyan, even if Xiaoyan wanted to leave on a whim, he couldn't leave.And after ascending the throne, the power is stable, even if Xiaoyan wants to leave, he can keep Xiaoyan with just one word, and he probably can't resist the huge temptation.

But it happened to be tonight, and Emperor Qingde's last order was to kill Xiaoyan.

Although assassins are not enough to break through the defense, those who follow Xiaoyan will also be exhausted.

If Xiaoyan wants to leave, tonight is the best time.

It is said that the emperor is the son of heaven, but even if he is the son of heaven, there are times when he is beyond his power.Destiny is mysterious, often at such times, just like Xiaoyan's favorite romance story, Luo Shensi Sanbao Chen Sanjin, using paper gold and jade, but the paper letter was burned, the gold certificate was blocked from the palace, and even the bullfighting jade pendant that saved his life in the end, He was also shot through by an arrow.With so many coincidences, it can only be said to be destiny.

"At that time, I can actually make up an order." He said softly, as if he was extremely tired.

No matter how chaotic the East Palace is, there are still people who can trap Xiaoyan.

But for some reason, he looked into Yun Lan's eyes, but in the end he didn't give that order.

The final tenderness of the giant dragon locked in chains is to leave a small gap for the little boy he likes.

"Your Majesty..." Yun Lan rushed in, apparently in a hurry and couldn't wait any longer.

But she didn't say the next words, because she was also shocked by the scene before her.

In the dark bedroom, the new emperor, Xiao Huan with a thin back, raised his hand and lifted the bed curtain, as if he was making a plea, and also seemed to be sad that he knew the ending long ago.

In the cold morning wind, brocade quilts and jade pillows piled up into individual shapes.And there was no one on the bed where a teenager was supposed to be sleeping.

Ye Xuanji has always acted swiftly and resolutely.

Not long after Yan Junyu returned to the East Palace, he received the signal.He quietly went out through the window of the dormitory, taking nothing but Ao Ji's gun, and didn't even call Wei Ru, because he knew that Ye Xuanji would notify her later, she was always safe.

Sure enough, as soon as he slipped out, he saw several dark figures waiting under the palace wall. Wei Ru had already changed into the eunuch's clothes and was waiting aside.He was so smart, how could he not know what it meant tonight, his face was flushed with excitement, his eyes were bright, and he called out young master.

Yan Junyu was much calmer. When he came out, he was wearing an oriental brocade cloak, which was too easy to be recognized. The man who answered him was a man in his forties with a very ordinary face. He was just suitable for the type of person who would hide and follow him. He wanted him to change his clothes. But Yan Junyu asked, "Which door do we go out from?"

"Suzaku Gate."

"It's very close to Lingyan Pavilion, can we go and have a look?"

The middle-aged man pondered for a moment, and said, "Yes."

Ye Xuanji's secret power should not be underestimated either. Lingyan Pavilion is the place where princely tablets are placed. Although it has been silent for a hundred years, it is just a decoration now, but it is Lingyan Pavilion after all, a place that is entangled with the fate of the Great Zhou. Quite a few, his subordinates still dared to bring Yan Junyu in and out freely.Although Yan Junyu listened to Romance all day long, it was the first time he entered this legendary pavilion. In fact, it was only a seven-storey pavilion. The lower floors were filled with fallen soldiers. Eighteen people who followed Taizu's uprising that year.

It's just that Yan Junyu's heart is no longer the boy who listened to stories.

He went up to the seventh floor, kowtowed to the ancestors of the Yan family, and found his father's name beside him.

Zhenbeihou, who has broad palms but looks like a child when he smiles, his father who taught him how to climb trees and catch birds, and Yan Zhongqing, whom his mother has been thinking about all his life, turned into three small characters on Lingyan Pavilion in the end.

He placed the Chen Ming book on his father's name, kowtowed again, and went down to Lingyan Pavilion, where he found the memorial tablet of Old General Zhong.

All his armor and swords were left there. Yan Junyu kowtowed, took off his armor and put it on again. He is the only apprentice of General Zhong. In armor.

After all, young men are not as broad and thick as veterans, and they are a bit loose to wear. The armor in Beijiang is extremely heavy, and the plate armor alone weighs more than 30 kilograms. The temperament of the armor after going through the battlefield is also different.Even Wei Ru felt that his young master's demeanor had changed, as if his whole body had calmed down, and the look in his eyes was extremely dignified.

"Let's go." He said softly.

"Don't say anything?" Wei Ru couldn't help asking.

"Need not."

Wei Ru stopped talking, but still looked worried.When he was about to get into the carriage, he asked again, "Then what should His Majesty do if he knows you're gone?"

He is much smarter than Yan Junyu, and some of them are quick-witted, as can be seen from the fact that he knows that his name is Xiao Jingyan. There was also a bit of wind about Empress Ming Yi.What he said was probably what everyone was worried about - Xiao Jingyan would become the second Emperor Qingde.

Naturally, there is no need to worry if he is doing well. If his "Xiaoyan" is gone, it will inevitably make people feel this kind of worry.

"He won't change." Yan Junyu said softly.

His Xiao Lu is the strongest and gentlest person in the world, with amazing endurance. Because of this, people often forget that he can also get hurt.

He will be trapped on his dragon chair, and be a dragon imprisoned. For a long time, the chains will be cut into the flesh, and he will still retain his tenderness.He will not be a tyrant, he will live in pain and be a wise king of the world.When the darkness of power sweeps across, he will be the last one standing in the way.As a king and a father, the world is all people. He will fulfill his promise and give the world a bright future.

"Would you like to go to Yanhou's Mansion for a while?" the middle-aged man asked after leaving the palace gate.

He must not have come from a sergeant's family. He also felt that Yan Junyu needed to say goodbye to Mrs. Yan, and he underestimated the prince too much. Yu's children and nephews are all on the battlefield, one news is enough, she knows everything.

The snow on the outskirts of the city has melted, and the fields are being plowed in spring, and Kazuki's peaches and plums have already sprouted buds.Wei Ru told him quietly: "I picked a plum blossom and put it in Linglong's window."

The boy's heart, only dare to convey it quietly like this.But Yan Junyu is no longer a teenager, he knows that Wei Ru is reminding him to leave something for his thoughts.

He kept his jade and put it under Chen Mingshu.He knew that Xiao Jingyan would look for him, follow his trail tonight to Lingyan Pavilion, and then find that piece of jade.

He clearly knew that this confidence was because he left the palace.

Although he has always believed in his Xiao Huan, he did not leave because of a misunderstanding, and he knew that Rong Hao's words about Ah Hong meant nothing, but at that moment, in Sihong Hall, even if Xiao Jingyan was staring at him, he still felt pain.

The night wind in early spring was still cold, and Mingguang armor was as cold as iron and ice, pressing heavily on it.As the carriage drove outside the palace, Yan Junyu felt as if he had come to life a little bit.

He is going to the frontier, and just thinking about it makes his branches and leaves stretch and he becomes energetic, just like the story of sending a dragon back to his hometown in the stories he heard when he was a child, crossing the first bridge with raw meat, crossing the second bridge with scales, and crossing the third bridge, he soars into the clouds and rides the fog into a real dragon .Not to prove anything, but because he has to go to the frontier, he has to see the big rivers, and see if he can turn the tide.

As the carriage left the outskirts of the city, he didn't look back, but just said in his heart: "I'm leaving."

I'm leaving, not because I don't like you anymore, but because I want to keep myself.I'm Yan Junyu, maybe I'm not worthy of your jade, but I'm my grandmother's favorite Xiaoyan, my parents love me the most, and Ao Ji, Luo Heng, and Wei Ru.I want to be a great general, I want to save the people on the frontier, I want to protect the Great Zhou, and I want to bring those soldiers home.

Even if it is not jade, I am the hardest stone, the unique Yan Junyu, I want to keep the flame in my heart.

I can't smash myself.

General Zhong said that there is a way to retreat with punches, but there is no turning back with guns. He has seen tricks and chose not to use tricks.It turns out that tricks are ingenuity, that is, turning around, and people who are fighting can't think about retreating.The world is left to you to think about, so let me keep this distinction.

I'm going to guard your frontier, Xiao Huan. When you see your country in the future, you may think of my name.Thinking like this, Yan Junyu was very chic at first, and should have laughed, but his tears fell down in a hopeless manner.

The moment the city wall disappeared from sight, Wei Ru suddenly couldn't help calling out to him.

"Master, are we really leaving?"

"I'm really gone." Yan Junyu wiped away tears and said, "Let's go and see what the real battlefield looks like!"
