Cangyun [Sword Net Three]

The first time Cui Yuan and Chang Shan met was in the emperor's imperial study. At that time, Chang Shan was captured on the ground in embarrassment, lying face down, surrounded by four or five people who suppressed his limbs and head respectively to prevent him from making trouble again.Cui Yuan was very surprised, because he saw the night clothes on the man, this man was obviously an assassin.But the emperor just ordered him to be taken down, without an order to go to prison, let alone beheaded immediately.

Cui Yuan is very aware of the emperor's temper, he is not a person who can rub sand in his eyes.Not only that, no one in the court knew the emperor's increasingly cold, weird and moody temperament.

Cui Yuan realized that the emperor's personality had changed drastically after the emperor returned from Nanlin.

The emperor at that time was not the emperor, but the king of Linzi.But he already has the chance to win, and he just needs to work harder to ascend to the supreme throne.The emperor at that time, or Situ Jing, should have stayed in the headquarters of Yongning, waiting for the ever-changing court situation.And ever since he went back to Nanlin on his own way without knowing why, wave after wave of bad news came.

General Yangwei died in battle earlier, and now General Langqi is also missing, and his whereabouts are unknown.The destroyed Beirong is like a huge tomb, burying the two youngest and most brilliant generals of the empire.They should have returned triumphantly to the acclaim of all nations.However, one of them slept in that land forever, while the other disappeared inexplicably in the vast wasteland.

The remaining Xuanjia Army and Tiance cavalry, together with the troops from Yongzhou and Fengji, started a confrontation with the imperial court.

The Xuanjia Army and the Tiance Cavalry refused to accept the imperial court's plea and summons edict, refused to accept the new commander appointed by the imperial court, and even wanted to pull Yongzhou, Fengji, and the Beirong area to establish an independent country.The former emperor was startled and angry, and immediately issued an edict ordering Yang Zhao, who was stationed at the border of Muzhou at that time, to immediately start a conquest against the Xuanjia Army and Tiance cavalry the moment he received the edict.

However, at this time Yang Zhao remained motionless, as if he had not received the order at all.Not only that, he also issued a document to announce to the world, the whole article did not say a bad word about the emperor.But he said all the good things about Yang Jichuan.In the end, he said that he had lost his beloved son, and that he really had no intention of doing so, and was unable to fight the old army of Yang Jichuan, so he was willing to resign from his position as Generalissimo of the Armed Forces, return to his hometown, and go home to save the land.

Yang Zhao's document can be regarded as a serious blow to the former emperor. After Yang Jichuan defeated Beirong, the former emperor issued a confession letter, asking Yang Jichuan to immediately surrender his military power and return to Beijing to obey the law.This kind of practice of killing donkeys is well known.Yang Zhao praised Yang Jichuan so much, isn't he saying that the emperor is jealous of talents and destroys bridges by crossing rivers.

The change in Yang Zhao's attitude undoubtedly gave other state propaganda envoys a statement.

The emperor killed my son, and I'm no longer on his side.Do whatever you like.

This time, the undercurrent that was only surging under the surface immediately had a tendency to boil, and soon sublimated to the surface.Except for Yuezhou and Jinzhou, which are close to Yongning, they will swear to defend Yongning no matter what happens.Maozhou Xuanzhengshi is a typical wall-riding faction, whoever is strong will fall, so he basically will not stand in line at the beginning of the gladiatorial fight, and Lianzhou, which is west of Maozhou, has no value in wooing.Lianzhou, which is sparsely populated, is mostly inhabited by uncivilized barbarians from the southwest.Even if Lianzhou wanted to help the court, the emperor might not have liked it.As for Muzhou, which is next to Yongzhou, well, it goes without saying.Not to mention that there was an army in Muzhou that was taken away by Yang Zhao before.

The entire Great Shang Dynasty seemed to be in danger of falling apart.

At this time, Situ Jing returned to Yongning from Nanlin.He was terribly gloomy all over.When Cui Yuan saw him, he sat in the shadows, as if he wanted to melt into the thick darkness.Cui Yuan even saw despair and collapse from him.

Cui Yuan didn't know what happened to Situ Jing in Nanlin, but it seemed to hit him very hard.

Cui Yuan had never seen such a decadent Situ Jing.He thought that Lord Langhuan's death had dealt a big enough blow to this man.And in this world, what else can't he get?

Cui Yuan once thought that Situ Jing would never recover from the fall, but he didn't expect him to stand up and try his best to turn the tide.The former emperor was forced to abdicate, and the new emperor ascended the throne. He comforted the political envoys who were about to move around, comforted the scarred but nerve-wracked two madmen, the Xuanjia Army and the Tiance Cavalry, who would bite anyone who approached them at any time. Wolfhound.It was also at this time that Cui Yuan knew that Xu Guangling, whom the former emperor regarded as his greatest confidant and lifelong mentor, was actually Situ Jing's man.In this game of power chess, the former emperor didn't even know whether the pieces in his hand were black or white, so how could he win?

The former emperor's only son was given poisoned wine by the emperor, and Cui Yuan accompanied Situ Yue to send the wine.

Situ Yue, the son of the Prince of Linzi, may now be called His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.Cui Yuan's feelings for him are too deep and complicated.

He has been his teacher for nine years, and watched him grow from a naive child in Yongning to a ruthless and ruthless young man in this city.As for Cui Yuan, in his eyes, what he sees is always the child who was held in the arms of Lord Langhuan by the pond back then, who will act like a baby and is deeply loved.He will become Situ Jing's staff, not so much that he chose Situ Jing because of his unique vision, but rather because he was driven by emotion and chose the child who was loved by Mr. Langhuan.

Cui Yuan would sometimes dream that he would go back to his youthful days and go to Linzi Prince's Mansion to attend the Heroes Meeting held by Lord Jinghong, and meet Mr. Langhuan again and again. Raise his kids to be like that.Every time Cui Yuan would be in pain like a knife in his dream, and would answer him, because you are no longer here, you no longer protect him, so he must grow up.Why did you leave so decisively!It's all your fault!

Then he woke up with lingering fear, only strong sadness and apology echoed in his mind, but he couldn't remember more details.

Therefore, Cui Yuan treats Situ Yue very well, almost treating him like his own son.He taught him all his knowledge, hoping that his son would become a dragon, that's all.

Yes, Situ Yue will be a dragon, there is no doubt about it.After Situ Jing's death, he will be the most honorable and supreme person in this country.

Giving poisoned wine to the only son of the former emperor was a hurdle he had to cross.Only after bathing in the blood of his brother will he be further transformed.

However, the only son of the former emperor did not die after drinking, but became a fool whose mind had degenerated to the level of a five-year-old child, which seemed to be no different from death.

Cui Yuan knew that it was Situ Yue who tampered with the poisoned wine to save the life of the former emperor's only son.Cui Yuan didn't know if Situ Yue really didn't want the former emperor's only son to die, or if he simply wanted to fight against the emperor.He has been dissatisfied with the emperor for a long time, and he is deeply concerned about the death of Lord Langhuan.He felt that Liu Jinghong, a bitch, must have killed Lord Langhuan, because in the future, Lord Langhuan would become the princess of Linzi, and Liu Jinghong would fall out of favor.He firmly believed in his own judgment, and believed that the emperor did not punish Liu Jinghong because he was indifferent to the death of Lord Langhuan.

The relationship between their father and son has always been unreasonably rigid.It seems that there is a deep hatred for each other.

Situ Jing doesn't have time to be a good father, and Situ Yue doesn't need him to play this role.He no longer sees himself as a child who needs to be protected.After he knew that Lord Langhuan was dead, he grew up overnight, and then grew up at an astonishing speed. The price he paid was heavy and heartbreaking.

Cui Yuan sometimes felt that Mr. Langhuan, he was like a chain, tightly linking the three of them together from the depths of his soul.Pain, pain together, cry, cry together, miss, miss together.They can't break free, or they don't want to break free.

Then, after a long time, another person was added to this chain, and that was Chang Shan.

Instead of killing him, the emperor threw the dying man to him.Chang Shan's weakness was not caused by the emperor, it seemed to be an injury he had been carrying for a long time. After seeing several doctors, he said that he could not be saved.

Cui Yuan felt a little pity, the emperor didn't want this person to die, maybe there was some secret about him, if he died, this secret might be brought into the coffin.

However, once when the maid was bathing him, Cui Yuan accidentally saw a brand mark the size of a seal on his right shoulder blade. If you looked carefully, you would find that it was a mark, two small characters, the ninth day of the first month.

The well-informed Cui Yuan suddenly felt that he was familiar with this practice of printing on other people's shoulder blades, and then he rubbed the branding and presented it to the emperor.The emperor saw it and said, this is the usual method of the royal guards.And the royal dark guard just had to take a drug, and the symptoms during the attack were exactly the same as Chang Shan.

Cui Yuan was a little surprised, since he was the royal guard, why did he transform into an assassin to assassinate the emperor?

Of course, Cui Yuan did not ask the emperor this question face to face.In the next few days, the emperor sent someone to deliver the antidote.After feeding Chang Shan the antidote, he really got better and began to recover slowly.

Cui Yuan sat by the bed and saw the man lying on the bed slowly open his eyes.

Who are you?He asked, and then asked, where is this?

I am Cui Yuan.Cui Yuan replied, this is Cui Mansion in Yongning.

Cui Yuan asked, what's your name.

He closed his eyes and mouth, unwilling to answer.Just say, why don't you kill me.

If you don't enjoy a good life, why do you have to seek death?Cui Yuan said.

He gave him a cool look and said, I have no need to live.The person who needed me is no longer here.

Cui Yuan was taken aback, he didn't expect to hear such a sentence.He suddenly felt a little sorry for this man, but he still patted his shoulders and arms that were still unable to move freely, and lived well, he could always find some reasons for himself to live.

After that, Chang Shan lived in Cui's residence.He told Cui Yuan that his name was Chang Shan, because the person who gave him the name hoped that he would live forever and be safe.Cui Yuan smiled and said, it's a good name.

Cui Yuan didn't expect that Chang Shan would request to become a monk in Izumo Temple, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt it was a matter of course.People who have settled down in the world of mortals should have been accompanied by the green light forever.

Cui Yuan asked the emperor for instructions, and the emperor agreed, and sent a copy of the book to the abbot of Yunsi. The current abbot is 75 years old and may pass away in a few years.

Changshan's shaving ceremony in Izumo Temple was presided over, and he has since become the No.13 disciple of Izumo Temple, bestowed with the title of Dharma, and Huixing.

That night, Emperor Dashang came to Izumo Temple in a low-key manner, and the host and Hui Xing received him together.Cui Yuan followed the emperor into the presiding meditation room.The host and the emperor sat facing each other on two futons.

The emperor said, what will be my luck in the future.

The host said that the old monk had done a fortune-telling for His Majesty 25 years ago.

The emperor suddenly closed his eyes, and said in a slightly trembling voice, yes, you said that I will meet Peach Blossom three times in my destiny.

The host said that one evil spirit transforms into form, two evil spirits dive into the abyss, and three evil spirits roam the dragon.Your Majesty has now passed the three evil spirits, and the fortune has accumulated steadily, and the purple air is coming from the east, which is indescribable.

The host's words were good words, but Cui Yuan didn't see any joy from the emperor's expression.

The host and the emperor sat and chatted for a whole night, did not stay at Izumo Temple, and rushed back to the palace overnight.

On the way back, Cui Yuan, who was following outside the sedan chair, suddenly felt the sedan chair shake suddenly, and the side curtain was knocked open.Cui Yuan hurriedly asked the bearer to put down the sedan chair, lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and looked in. The emperor leaned against the side wall of the sedan chair with his eyes tightly closed, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.And it fell on the white handkerchief of his robe, and a glaring red pierced Cui Yuan's eyes deeply.

After returning, the emperor fell seriously ill.

The host said that the emperor's future luck would be unspeakable, but Cui Yuan felt that something had drained the emperor's anger.

When the emperor was seriously ill, Liu Jinghong waited on him until he collapsed.This poor first son of Yongning has not had any status until now.The dead princess of Linzi occupied the coveted position of empress, and Shen Heng, the guest of humerus, was in charge of the three palaces and six courtyards of the harem.Only Liu Jinghong, who was once stunning and talented, has nothing.The emperor locked him firmly in the deep palace with a group of men and women.

He is a male favorite?But he at least has more status than the male favorite.Is it a concubine?But he doesn't have any grades.

The emperor seemed to be punishing him. What could make a peacock despair more than plucking its feathers and putting them in a flock of pheasants so that he could join them.

Does the emperor love Liu Jinghong?Cui Yuan thought, maybe it was love, otherwise why would he not let go even if he died, Shuan would also be tied by his side.But it must also be hate, hate to the bone, that's why he tortured and humiliated him like this.

Sometimes, Cui Yuan would think again.Probably he also hated Mr. Langhuan a little bit.Hate him leaving early, hate him and his intersection is too short to fill the memories of the rest of my life.

Cui Yuan walked out of the imperial study room, and saw His Highness the Crown Prince walking towards him.He had grown to be as tall as he was, and much stronger and stronger than he was.His Royal Highness the Prince likes to ride horses, and he is tall and straight.

The brilliant sunlight reflected the intricate golden embroidery on his clothes.

He is a freshman and the future.

Just like the line of the two at the moment.

His Royal Highness is gradually moving toward light and glory, while he is gradually fading into darkness.

Lang'er, your child is already good enough, if I meet you in the underworld in the future, you won't blame me if you think about it.

You don't mind calling me that.

Cui Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly laughed.He walked faster and faster, throwing Situ Yue's back further and further away.

So many years, so many years, but one sentence.

Sweet as sweet.
