One early morning in late autumn, there were many fallen leaves in the courtyard, and the dead leaves were flying all over the sky. The servant in charge of sweeping the courtyard swung a broom to fight wit and courage with the wind.

The doorman Wei Qing was walking on the stone path leading to the master's room. He passed by the side room and saw Yin Huwei who got up early to practice martial arts, and greeted him: "Yin Huwei got up so early."

Guard Yin stopped chopping with his sword, and nodded to Wei Qing.

Knowing that he came into the main courtyard early in the morning, he must have come to look for the young master. Guard Yin cast a glance at the master's living room and said, "The young master is still in the study room in the middle of the night discussing matters with the guests. If Wei Qing is not in a hurry, please wait at the door. Wait outside, don't wake up the young master."

Wei Qing's real name is Wei Yong'an,? He is one of Gong Ziling's many disciples. This person is very talented,? He has a hot temper,? He broke into the main courtyard early in the morning, which is why Yin guards stopped him.

"Then I'll wait here." Wei Qing found a seat and sat down, facing the master's room.

It was heard that Guard Yin was the savior of Young Master Ling. To save Young Master, he was seriously injured and almost disabled. Knowing that Guard Yin had a special status, Wei Qing dared not contradict him.

Yin Huwei ignored Wei Qing and continued to exercise.

He is Wu, Wei Qing is Wen,? There is really no topic.

Wei Qing couldn't stay idle, and got up after a while, walking around, he pointed to a locked empty room in the side room, and asked, "I see there are a lot of things in it, have people lived there before?"

"I've lived there before." Guard Yin finished his exercise and walked towards his room.

His good brother who lived in Yueqian.

Such a heroic and loyal person, but now he has become a prisoner and was exiled in Mengyang City.

Guard Yin didn't want to continue talking. He entered the room, hung his sword and shield on the wall, wiped off his sweat, and changed his clothes.

Wei Qing walked out, towards the master's room. As a subordinate, he should not inquire about the affairs of the master's courtyard, so he just asked casually.

Walking to the doorstep of Gong Ziling's living room, Wei Qing stood there, quietly waiting for Gong Ziling to wake up.

Wei Qing waited outside for a long time, and when he heard a sound inside the house, he hurriedly announced outside the door.Soon, Wei Qing was led by the maid to the dormitory, and reported to the master through the bed curtain.

Leaning over, Wei Qing stated: "I was ordered by the son to set up a banquet yesterday to send off the envoys of Chang Xing Jun, and delivered the gift that the son gave to Chang Xing Jun to the envoys. The envoys said that Chang Xing Jun loved Yindu the most. Fine wine, young master is really the confidant of Lord Changxing."

Lord Changxing is the seventh son, Zhaorui, who was granted the title of Lord Changxing and granted the land of Changxing City.Zhaorui has lived in Changxing City for a long time, and recently sent an envoy from the fiefdom to Beijing to contact relatives and friends in the capital.

Zhaoling's voice came from inside the bed curtain, and that voice was smiling: "How could I not know his likes and dislikes."

Zhaorui is broad-minded and fat, with a gentle temperament. He likes to enjoy life on weekdays. He likes dancing and music, and likes to drink a little wine. Zhaoling understands him very well, and sometimes he is even a little envious.

Zhao Ling was sitting on the bed, with a coat on his shoulders, his smile was tired, he just woke up, looking lazy.

This year, two close people around Zhaoling left, one was Yueqian and the other was Zhaorui; at the same time, new people kept appearing around him.

Time is like a river, flowing forward irresistibly. Among the people who come and go, there is a figure of Yue Qian.

In Zhaoling's life, Yueqian is not a lifelong companion, but just a passerby.

Feeling the chill of late autumn, Zhaoling gathered his clothes, recalling that Yueqian boarded the slave ship and left, it was still summer, and he couldn't help feeling how time flies.

Wei Qing exited Gong Ziling's dormitory, and just as he came out, he saw the housekeeper leading a guest into the main courtyard in a hurry.

Wei Qing couldn't identify the guest, because he was dressed in ordinary clothes, and he didn't know where he came from, and he didn't know what was important.

During this period of time, there were many people entering and leaving Gongziling's mansion. Some Wei Qing could recognize their identities, while others could not.

Now the situation in Rongguo is very bad, and Gong Ziling seems to be making some kind of preparations.

With Wei Qing's keenness, he sensed that something important and secret was happening in this bleak and quiet late autumn.

Leaving the main courtyard, Wei Qing saw another doorman standing at the entrance of the courtyard, looking into his head. Wei Qing recognized this person as a new doorman, surnamed Zhao.

Zhao Qing asked: "Brother Wei, who is the visitor?"

Wei Qing replied: "Brother Zhao has such good eyesight, why can't he tell who he is?" Zhao Qing didn't take the other party's teasing, Zhao Qing took Wei Qing aside, and said to him in a low voice: "Now Rong Guo is in danger. Yea, our son will definitely be implicated."

"How to say?" Wei Qing asked knowingly.

Recently, not only Rongguo officials, but also knowledgeable scholars are anxious about the future of Ronguo.

Zhao Qingdao: "Rongguo has internal and external troubles, and foreign troubles are Weiguo! Now Weibing has captured Yucheng under the jurisdiction of Rongguo, King Wei has the ambition to carve up Yunyue's old place, and capturing Yucheng is only his first step. How can Rong The morale of the soldiers is slackened, and they lose to the powerful Weibing, and if things go on like this, Yunyue's old place will be gradually eaten away by the Weiguo!"

Wei Qing nodded, quite approving, and asked, "What about internal troubles?"

Zhao Qing said: "The internal problem is the Shen family! Now that Shen Ji is pregnant, if she gives birth to a boy, I am afraid that the crown prince's status will not be guaranteed. Now that the monarch is in poor health, he ignores political affairs and allows his ministers to exercise power. To make a decision, you will lose the opportunity and be controlled by others."

After listening to Zhao Qing's statement, Wei Qing smiled and said: "Brother Zhao, don't worry, from my point of view, we can stay at the son's mansion with peace of mind, and don't think about it. There are so many guests under the prince's family, and the ability will be worse than the two of us." Is it? The prince must have been prepared long ago."

The prince is not a person who sits and waits to be killed, he just hides in the dark, so people can't see his actions.

After seeing off the second visitor in the morning, Zhao Ling changed into a gown and came out of the living room. His expression was normal, and there was no sign of anxiety or uneasiness.

Zhao Ling went to the Tibetan room in a carriage. He met Huan Boyan and Jing Zhongyan and his son waiting at the door of the Tibetan room, and the four gathered together.

Jing Zhongyan said: "I asked to see my lord this morning, but was stopped by Shen Kui, a Chinese archer (court attendant), who said that my lord was recovering from illness, but I didn't see my minister. The ministers have not seen the lord for three days, and if this continues, something will happen. Think about it. After thinking about it, I still have to call the young master."

Shen Kui is Shen Ji's younger brother. There must be some conspiracy behind this person who stopped the minister from meeting the king.

Holding the hilt of the sword in his hand, Huan Boyan said loudly: "Fortunately, Dr. Jing sent someone to inform me, and I will go with you. If Shen Kui dares to stop him again, I will draw my sword and cut him off!"

He was indignant for a moment, and had to surrender his weapon when he entered the palace, so where did he draw his sword.

"I don't know what's going on inside yet, put away the sword quickly." Jing Li pressed Huan Boyan's hand, fearing that he would be impulsive.

Jing Li is the son of Jing Zhongyan, who inherited his father's gentleness and elegance.

Zhao Ling whispered: "My father is old and weak, and he is tired of government affairs. It is just for Shen's father and son to take the opportunity to block the connection between the monarch and his ministers. If Shen's father and son succeed, they can use my father's oral instructions to do whatever they want."

"Let's go to the palace quickly, if we wait any longer, the palace might change!" Huan Boyan urged anxiously, wishing he could rush into the palace immediately.

He is young and vigorous, these days he has had enough of the arrogance of the Shen family father and son, and he can't wait to draw his sword to kill the courtiers.

Zhao Ling instructed: "Bo Yan, you are not allowed to act without authorization after entering the palace."

Huan Bo promised at the banquet: "Yes!"

The four entered the palace together, Zhao Ling left Huan Boyan and Jing Zhongyan and his son outside, and came to the king's bedroom alone to see the king.

The shooter Shen Kui stopped Zhaoling with a rough attitude: "The monarch has ordered, no one will be seen!"

Zhao Ling looked around at the servants present, Shen Kui was the only one who dared to stop him, he smiled instead of anger: "As a son of man, it is only natural to visit his father! What kind of thing you are against human relations, dare to be arrogant to a son of a country here rude!"

Shen Kui was a bit afraid of Zhao Ling on weekdays. If it wasn't for the support of his sister Shen Ji, he would not have dared to stop Zhao Ling. Seeing that the other party was furious, he was so guilty that he couldn't say a word.

Zhao Ling shouted: "Bo Yan, take him down!"

Huan Boyan, who couldn't stand it for a long time, jumped out immediately when he heard the order, and held Shen Kui down.Huan Boyan was born as a mighty and powerful general, and a licentious person like Shen Kui was no match for him at all.

Shen Kui murmured loudly: "What are you doing? Do you want to rebel?"

Not letting him continue shouting, Huan Boyan covered his mouth.

The rest of the servants did not dare to help Shen Kui, and they knew in their hearts that this was a confrontation between the prince's camp and Shen Ji's camp. They pretended not to see it in order to protect themselves.

No one dared to block the way anymore, Zhao Ling hurriedly walked into the bedroom, shouting as she walked, "Father! Father!"

Normally, he had complaints about his father, but at the moment he was really worried about his father's safety. The Shen family and his son did not have a big strategy, and they often did things by unscrupulous means.

How many kings died inexplicably because they lost their judgment in their old age and were manipulated by villains.

King Rong used to be a generation of heroic and godly kings. The country was once very powerful under his rule, but in his later years he was played by courtiers in the palm of his hand, which is really embarrassing.

King Rong's weary voice came from the dormitory: "Ah Ling, why are you here?"

"Father!"

Zhaoling broke into the dormitory and saw his father lying on the bed safe and sound, and only then did he smile on his anxious face.

King Rong wanted to get up, but the maid beside him immediately went to help him. He asked Zhaoling, "Why is there so much noise outside?"

"The imperial servant stopped the son-in-law from coming in to see the father." Zhaoling took a sable fur and put it on his father's shoulders.

Helping her father fasten the belt under the collar of the sable fur coat, Zhao Ling continued: "My son was angry, so he asked Bo Yan who was traveling with him to hold him."

King Rong guessed which servant dared to stop Zhaoling. He was old but still mentally intelligent.

Without further questioning, King Rong looked at his little son who was usually very doted on, and said, "I haven't seen you for some time."

Zhao Ling said sadly, "Well, it's been a few days."

In the last court meeting, King Rong did not show up, and Shen Ji's father issued the decree as Dazai.Three months ago, Shen Ji's father's official position had been promoted from Shaozai to Dazai.

"Father, my son wants to help father go for a walk in the garden." Zhao Ling hugged Rong Wang's arm, and he behaved like a child.

When she was young, Zhao Ling once hugged her father's arm like this.

Except for his leg injuries in his early years and bad legs and feet in his later years, Rong Wang is still in good health. Recently, he has been bedridden, which is actually caused by drinking and lack of exercise.

With his son supporting his fat body, King Rong felt ashamed when he saw the other party struggling and saw that he looked like a useless person: "Hey, my son, what time is it?"

"Father, it's noon."

Zhao Ling helped King Rong to leave the bedroom and go to the garden. When the warm sun at noon in autumn came, King Rong suddenly regained his spirit, and blood returned to his pale face.

Accompanied by father and son, they walked slowly in the garden. King Rong was tired from walking, so he rested on the pavilion.Rong Wang's brain, which was poisoned by alcohol and sex, became very clear after being exposed to the sun.

Sitting and chatting with his father, Zhao Ling didn't mention any political affairs, but only talked about small things in life, and the past between father and son.

King Rong asked, "Where's Ah Xuan? I've been ill for a long time, why don't I see him?"

Hearing that his father had taken the initiative to mention the crown prince, Zhao Ling was overjoyed and said, "Father, wait here for a while, and my son will call someone to summon my brother immediately."

King Rong listened to the slander and always suspected the prince, and the relationship between father and son was alienated.

Zhaoling didn't ask the servant to summon the prince, because he couldn't believe it, but sent an order to Huan Boyan who was still in the palace, telling him to call the prince quickly.

Returning to the garden, Zhaoling saw his father sitting alone on the pavilion from a distance. He looked so old, and he was no longer the monarch he feared in his memory.

Because of aging, King Rong is suspicious and suspicious of his close relatives; also because of aging, he is obsessed with time and greedy for pleasure. His early heroism and heroic spirit have all disappeared.

The prince came very quickly, holding a baby in his arms. The baby in the baby was a baby boy born by the prince's favorite concubine Tangji, who was not yet full moon.

It was the first time for the child born this autumn to see his grandfather.

The news of Zhao Ling's intrusion into King Rong's bedroom quickly reached the ears of Shen Dazai and Shen Ji, and when they hurried over to Yuanyuan, they saw three generations of grandparents and grandchildren who were happy and harmonious.

Shin Dazai glared at Zhao Ling viciously, his look was vicious like a ghost, when Shen Ji saw the baby in the king's arms, she couldn't help but shed tears with envy and hatred.Shen Ji knew that this child was the eldest son of the prince and the eldest grandson of the monarch.

Shen Ji resented that if she had a son, she would have a bargaining chip. With the monarch's love for her, she would definitely be named the prince.

This tear of Shen Ji is also an elegy for her own destiny and the whole family.

As autumn passed and winter came, all the courtiers around King Rong were expelled by the prince one by one. This was a fatal signal.The prince lay dormant for a long time, and finally started to clean it up, using the method of thunder.

The Shen family realized that the situation was not good, but it was too late.

Soon, a court lady reported to the monarch that Shen Ji had asked a witch for help in order to conceive a child, and that witch often came to the palace to advise Shen Ji.The witch and Shen Ji conspired to have a fake pregnancy, and then found a baby boy from the people to bring into the palace, falsely claiming that Shen Ji had given birth to it herself.

The witch was immediately arrested and confessed to the crime.

After verification, Shen Ji was indeed not pregnant, but lied to the king that she was pregnant, and committed the crime of deceiving the king.

Immediately afterwards, someone reported to the monarch that Shen's father and son practiced witchcraft and cursed the prince.The monarch sent people to search Shen's mansion, and dug out two jade figures used to curse from the bottom of a small altar.

The two jade figures were engraved with the names of the prince and Zhao Ling.

One afternoon when it was snowing, the prince climbed to the tower of the south city gate and saw Zhao Ling who was watching the snow on the tower. He went up to sweep the snowflakes off his younger brother's shoulders and whispered, "Brother, I have been looking for you everywhere, and you are here." .”

"Look at the snow." Zhao Ling was wrapped in sable fur, looking at the snow-capped Nanshan Mountain, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

The prince looked in the direction of Nanshan. Every year there is a snow scene, and the snow scene is not the same every year. He said with a smile: "It's such a cold day, what's so beautiful about snow."

He stretched out his hand to cover Zhaoling's face, it was really cold and icy.

"Ah Ling, you can't always be alone." The prince knew that Nanshan could be seen here, and he seemed to know who Zhao Ling was thinking about.

Zhao Ling glanced down the tower, and a large group of followers followed beside his carriage, and said with a smile, "Why am I alone."

The prince's guards brought wind robes and hoods from the carriage to cover the wind and snow. They put the wind robes on the prince, and the prince put the hood on Zhaoling.

The prince didn't make any further conversations, and he knew clearly that he couldn't mention Yueqian, what to do with a deceased person, and there should be no rift between the brothers.

Zhao Ling looked away from the distant mountains, looked at the smug prince, and asked, "Brother, now that the Shen family has been defeated, should we solve the troubles of Weiguo?"

With his hands behind his back, the prince stated: "It is precisely because the survivors of Yunyue refused to submit to the Rong Kingdom, and have rebelled continuously for many years, the Rong soldiers have been fighting everywhere and are exhausted to deal with it. Now, the exhausted army of the Rong Kingdom cannot resist the Weibing's attack." Attacking, this is the loss of Yucheng. If you can make the survivors of Yunyue surrender, so that Rongguo can free up his hands, instead of fighting at both ends, and concentrate on dealing with Weiguo, the Weiwei soldiers are nothing."

"Brother, that's because we have conquered Yunyue for ten years, and we have never regarded the people of Yunyue's hometown as the people of Rongguo." Zhao Ling pointed out the key point and sighed.

As the son of a country, Zhao Ling should have ignored the suffering of the people, but he saw from Yue Qian that countless low-level people were struggling, especially the pain that was inflicted on Yunyue people.

The prince nodded, he was deeply touched, how could he not understand the truth, but the country is not governed by him, and there is nothing he can do now.

The prince said: "Ah Ling, if I become king in the future, I will entrust Yunshui City to you, and your servants will manage it."

Zhao Ling was stunned, her eyes widened, and she could hardly believe her ears.

Yunshui City is the old capital of Yunyue Kingdom, such an important place!And the elder brother said that his subordinates should govern?

"As for you, you have to stay by Brother Wei's side and help Brother Wei achieve success." The prince put his arms around his younger brother's shoulders with a smile on his face.

On that day, when the crown prince ascended the throne as king, Zhao Ling was his minister, the crown prince became the king of Rong, and Zhao Ling was the Ling Yin (Prime Minister) who commanded all officials.

The author has something to say: Director: Brother Prince, it has been agreed that Yunshui City will be entrusted to Zhaoling in the future.

Prince: You are not joking.
