major general

Needle drop could be heard inside the house.

Zhu Qingsong frowned tightly, and stood by the window with his shoulders crossed, his expression very cold.

Fan Hua glanced at him, sighed silently, and shook her head.

Yuan Qing is this year's No. [-] Scholar, and she has a lot of glory.He wanted to avenge his sister, and he would not get a tiger's cub if he didn't enter the tiger's den, so he proposed to the second prince his wish to go to Dali Temple.After some operations, with the vacancy of Shaoqing, Emperor Wen naturally placed the champion in Dali Temple.

The second prince and the crown prince fought against each other, and the enemy of an enemy is a friend. Yuan Qing took advantage of Fu Xiaoyu's east wind to contact the second prince and passed the news of the prince to him.There is a vase in his house, every time there is news to pass, he will paste the news on the bottom of the flower branch, put the flowers in the vase, Zhu Qingsong will come to see every night, if there are flowers in the vase, he will take them away branch flowers.

Yuan Qing is just an ordinary literati, he is not as intelligent as Fu Xiaoyu, so he can only tell the second prince the news he found out in detail.

After several contacts, Zhu Qingsong has a good impression of Yuan Qing, who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside.

And today...

Fan Hua opened the note, categorized the news inside, listed the useful ones separately, and prepared to present it to Zhou Luan.

"Zuo Cheng took bribes, the evidence is sufficient, without the help of Zuo Cheng, there is still a fuss about Concubine Lan..." Zhu Qingsong said softly.

Fan Hua stopped moving and asked, "So?"

Zhu Qingsong pursed her lips and said, "Yuanqing can't hold on anymore."

Fan Hua took a deep breath, rubbed her forehead wearily, and said, "This is not something you and I can decide. Yuan Qing wants to avenge his sister, and the 32 members of the Yuan family. Forcing him, this is what he chose to do, and he deserves to bear the price of not being able to escape from danger."

"Could it be that we just watched him being killed by the crown prince..." Zhu Qingsong swallowed the words again, gritted his teeth fiercely.

"He's not us, and only he knows what he thinks. Not to mention a body, even this rotten life, it's worthwhile to be able to overthrow someone who wants to eat flesh and blood." Fan Hua said softly.

Zhu Qingsong lowered his head, Fan Hua thought he had thought it through, and stuffed the organized letters into his pocket, just as he walked to the door, he heard the people behind him say: "He hasn't reached the crown yet, Fan Hua, he and I As big as a younger brother."

Fan Hua paused, clenched his fists, three or four bloodstains appeared on his palms with his fingertips, then he opened the door and walked outside.

There are people coming and going in the palace, and everyone has their own twists and turns in their hearts, which is not enough for outsiders.

Emperor Wen fell ill at the end of autumn, and the affairs of the court were divided between Zhou Zhang and Zhou Luan.

The ministers of the DPRK and China were not sure about the meaning of the present. If you want to say that you want the crown prince, you have arranged things for Zhou Luan every day. If you want to say that you want the second prince, you didn’t choose the position of the prince to the second prince. The meaning of the prince.

In short, Emperor Wen's heart is only understood by himself.

Zhou Luan was walking in the imperial garden, and the little eunuch leading the way was very lively. He didn't know how to maintain such enthusiasm in this deserted palace. After all, he talked about a lot of things along the way, and Zhou Luan heard it strangely. Soon, he walked outside the Hall of Longevity, took out a silver ingot from his waist and handed it to him.

The little eunuch's eyes widened, and after receiving it, he said with a smile, "Thank you Your Highness, you are as good as the Major General."

Zhou Luan raised his eyebrows, why is there such a thing about the boy.

The little eunuch said to himself: "Last time, the slave also led the way to the Imperial College for the Major General, and the Major General gave the slave a big gold ingot!"

Gold ingots...

When Zhou Luan saw the silver ingot in the little eunuch's hand, he always felt as if he had lost his share. After humming softly, he took out a warm jade from his purse and threw it to the eunuch.

The little eunuch took it quickly, and looked at it against the light, it was in excellent condition!

He put the jade and silver ingots together, looked at Zhou Luan's back and did not forget to kowtow to thank him, and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward!"

The door of the Hall of Eternal Life was closed, and He Yun happily got up, patted the ashes on the hem of his clothes, and ran out bouncingly.

Ironically, the bedroom where Emperor Wen lived is called the Hall of Eternal Life.

Long live, people are always afraid of death, wishing that they can live in peace until they are 80 or [-] years old.It is useless to choose such a name. No one who has lived in this palace has a good death.

Zhou Luan stepped over the threshold and smelled the pungent smell of medicine.

Jiang Yu was standing by the door. The eunuch uniform made him not look like an eunuch at all. The royal blue thin cotton coat was embroidered with many royal dark patterns, which was Jiang Yu's unique reward.

"Eunuch Jiang."

Jiang Yu came back to his senses, bowed to Zhou Luan, and said, "Second Highness, the emperor just fell asleep, you rest here, and the servant will go in and report."

Zhou Luan stopped him and said, "Father doesn't sleep well, it's rare to fall asleep, let him rest more."

Jiang Yu didn't force it either, and stood on one side with him outside the door without saying a word.

There was no one else in the hall, so Zhou Luan looked at Jiang Yu and said, "Eunuch Jiang has served Emperor Father for more than 20 years."

Jiang Yu looked at Zhou Luan and said, "If you go back to Your Highness, it should be 26 years."

26 years.

Zhou Luan's mother, Li Shurong, was given to him by Emperor Wen when he was still the prince.After all, Li Shurong was of Persian blood, and her appearance was not the same as that of ordinary women. Gao Zu didn't like this woman, so he gave it to the then Emperor Wen.

Zhou Luan didn't know about the previous generation.But he also has courtiers who support him, such as Youcheng Zhang Kui.

Zhang Kui once told him that Gao Zu was interested in Emperor Wu.But Zhou Luan didn't think so. He always believed that Gao Zu was for Emperor Wen.

The experience at the border, the complicated things, seemed to be preparing for the succession of Emperor Wu, but every time Emperor Wu made a top mistake, Gao Zu would mercilessly strip him of his power.

Gaozu passed away very suddenly, because he had a sudden illness, and he left in just one night.At that time, there was no prince, and all the officials had no leader, and there was a lot of noise.As the legitimate son, Emperor Wu quickly cleared the imperial court after succeeding to the throne, and gained a firm foothold in a very short period of time.

After that, Emperor Wu changed the ancestral system, revised the law, and re-set the business tax. Every time, he hit the lifeline of civil servants, and almost changed all the civil servants in the court.

Until... Emperor Wu went out in person and died at the border.

Zhou Luan felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, as if a key was missing, and the door was right in front of him, which made him a little impatient.

There was some movement in the room, Jiang Yu pushed the door in, came out after a while, and said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty has summoned you."

Zhou Luan collected his thoughts and entered the Hall of Eternal Life.

The strong smell of medicine came to the nostrils, Zhou Luan frowned slightly, picked up the bowl on the table, and said, "Have you used the medicine?"

Emperor Wen's cheeks were sunken, and his whole body was very sick. He sat up propping himself up, and said with a smile, "I've used it, and what I'm holding...but it's a shrimp bowl?"

Crab Roe and Shrimp Soup, Emperor Wen's favorite dish.Crab roe and white rice shrimp smell like a strong salty aroma, rich in color and palatable.

"Shrimp and crab are cold in nature, father should use less." Zhou Luan added.

Now Emperor Wen couldn't eat, he had difficulty swallowing, even if it was his favorite dish, he could only drink the rich soup, peeling shrimp and eating crab was no longer possible.

"Your words are familiar." Emperor Wen frowned and thought about it, and asked, "Jiang Yu, but who said that?"

Jiang Yu leaned over and replied, "Your Majesty, before the late emperor left, he often told you like this."

Emperor Wen stretched out his hand and slapped himself on the mouth, like a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, and said with a smile: "Damn it, you're so old, you actually forgot about your brother."

Zhou Luan was greatly disturbed, and sat on the edge of the bed, talking with Emperor Wen, about the latest situation in the court.

Emperor Wen seemed to know that his time was approaching, and he didn't feel any sense of urgency. He just coughed and waved his hands, and said, "You don't have to tell me this, as long as you know it in your heart. After all... it will be your world in the future." It's gone, isn't it?"

Zhou Luan always felt that Emperor Wen had something to say. Looking at his expression, he didn't dare to ask, and left in a hurry after bowing down.

When the people left, Emperor Wen took out a small cattail fan from nowhere, flapped it slowly, and said, "It's been 26 years, Jiang Yu, tell me, how time flies so fast."

Jiang Yu bowed her head and didn't answer.

Emperor Wen closed his eyes, fanned away the smell of medicine around him, and said, "Jiang Yu, did you blame me at the beginning?"

"No."

"It's strange that you didn't even ask about anything I said."

When the Jiang family was in decline, Jiang Yu lost the qualification to be a companion and was hastily sent out of the palace.In order to regain their strength, the Jiang family sent Jiang Yu to the palace again, not as a companion, but as a eunuch.Jinlin's pretty son, with superb martial arts skills, is unparalleled in handsomeness.Now the world only knows Jiang Yu, the popular eunuch next to Emperor Wen, and no longer knows the handsome young man who was rewarded with ambition.

Emperor Wen knew the news of Jiang Yu being sent to the palace one day earlier than Emperor Wu. He was annoyed that his companion took up his brother's time every day, so he pressed down the news without telling Emperor Wu.

By the time Emperor Wu knew about it, it was already too late.

A normal man with the ambition to serve the country, was drugged and sent to the palace to be castrated by his closest family members.

Emperor Wen closed his eyes tightly. He seemed to see Jiang Yu's blood-red eyes. He screamed and pinched towards his neck. He opened his eyes and looked over. Jiang Yu still looked the same, standing on the edge of the bed with a calm expression. , like a pool of stagnant water.

The violent panting made Jiang Yu look over, and Emperor Wen on the bed no longer had the arrogance of the boy he remembered.

Military information can go beyond the court and be sent directly to Emperor Wen's bedroom.

The general handed over the letter and said, "Your Majesty, there is a battle report from the frontier, and the Huns are attacking."

Emperor Wen broke out in a cold sweat, took a look at the battle report, coughed and said: "A wolf's ambition cannot be restrained by a contract. I have passed on my word that the Major General of the Zhen Guofu will immediately take [-] elite soldiers to the border without delay."

Jiang Yu paused and asked, "Major General going? Your Majesty isn't worried that the Zhen Guo Mansion will support its troops?"

Emperor Wen smiled, and said: "It doesn't matter whoever grabs the throne here, but if the land of the Southern Dynasty is given up half an inch, the ancestors of the Zhou family may wish to eat my flesh."

Jiang Yu didn't answer the question as usual, but just frowned, and said, "One hundred thousand soldiers and horses is the limit that Jinlin can give. At this time, to support the border, Jinlin will not be able to protect it."

The battle report did not ask for support, why did Emperor Wen hurriedly hand over these soldiers and horses?

Emperor Wen's complexion faded, and he looked a little older than ordinary people, and said: "You know my body, it won't last long. If you want to watch a play, it should be more lively. With soldiers and horses by your side, who dares to stand in front of me?" How about dancing this play?"
