The King of Liang, the feudal lords outside the town, and the generals inside

The news of Yan Zun recovering from his illness did not spread. In fact, few people except Bai Yu knew that he lost his mind and was recuperating in the General's Mansion.He seems to have disappeared into this world, no one cares about him.So he stopped going out, locked himself in this three-acre field, and played with his "nephews" all day long.

He often saw Dr. Lin coming in and out of the General's Mansion.At first he thought he was here to see him, but later he found out that Imperial Physician Lin didn't even know of his existence.

Sometimes his brother's house would be locked, and no one could get in. Yan Xun would come out after a long time in it, and when he came out, his face would be very bad, and then he would be thrown into endless busyness.

Yan Zun knew that he was sick.

Intestinal carbuncle is not uncommon, but the strange thing is that there are more people in the Yan family who suffer from this disease. Five of the ancestors of the Yan family died of intestinal carbuncle.

The imperial physicians Lin have treated them for nearly 200 years. After all kinds of medicines were ineffective at the beginning, one imperial physician Lin boldly adopted the method of surgery.It's easy to cut it off, but the postoperative infection is even worse.

This method will not be used lightly unless it is absolutely necessary, and the three people who underwent the operation still failed to survive.

After so many years, no one knows whether it is possible to ask God for mercy, even if there is a special case to break this curse and make up for the regret of the ancestors who died young.

Based on this, Yan Zun understood why Yan Xun and Bai Yu had come to this point.

Bai Yu is only 23 years old.

Occasionally, Yan Xun was empty, and Yan Zun took the initiative to talk to him, and he had already thought about the topic.

He knows that Yan Xun is not a talkative person, and he doesn't have the energy to talk to him now, so he just needs to keep talking.

"...Later, Jin Zhi completely gave up on me. He was so desperate. I knew he wouldn't be able to find the motivation to live at that time, but he still wanted to live. So he wanted to raise Tao Tao for me. He Still love me."

Yan Xun listened quietly.

"Now I'll never see him again. I'd rather take a change and get him back, but no one can help me. Sometimes I really can't help but blame him, what if my face is ruined, I don't care at all. He If I hadn't jumped off the cliff, I could have redeemed it. At least, don't let the last time we met was that I slapped him and the last thing I said to him was, 'He's my bedside man, as for You, from this day forward, are his slaves.'”

Yan Xun could hear what he wanted to say, but he could only remain silent.

"Brother, you think you are doing this for the good of King Liang, to protect him, and not to make him forget you forever. But think about it another way, if King Liang is sick, you hope you don't know why before he dies." Do you want to cut off your friendship with him, or cherish every day you can still be with him? It is not your fault that you are sick, but you have left King Liang with a lifetime of regrets, and this is what really pains him."

"I won't let him know." Yan Xun said.

Yan Zun was completely speechless.

Except for occasionally, accompanied by Yan Xun's confidants, he quietly went to Tang Jinzhi's Clothes Tomb to pay homage. At other times, he didn't go out. The two servants around him had to report everything to Yan Xun first, so he looked forward to the day when Bai Yu Come, no matter what he has to secretly tell him.But Bai Yu never stepped into the General's Mansion.

After thinking about it, Yan Zun felt that it was not an option to wait this long. Taking advantage of Yan Xun's absence, he pulled Yan Yue aside when he was playing with the children, and whispered to him, "Tao Tao, do uncle a favor." ,OK?"

He is much more approachable than Yan Xun, Yan Yue liked him very much, he nodded obediently and said: "Okay!"

"Let the servant accompany you to go out to play later, and then you go to Prince Liang's mansion and give this letter I wrote to King Liang. You can eat as many snacks as you want when you come back, and I will help you hide it."

As soon as Yan Yue heard about Prince Liang's mansion, he immediately stuffed the letter into his clothes as if he had been spayed, and ran away in a hurry.

This was Yan Zun's only hope, and he didn't think there was any reason why this plan would fail.Just as he was relieved, he suddenly remembered that he forgot to tell Yan Yue not to tell anyone about delivering the letter.

Yan Zun's heart skipped a beat, and then he comforted himself that he should be fine.

It can be said that the leak in the house coincided with the continuous night rain, so he was afraid of something, Yan Yue bumped into Chun Yujing as soon as he went out, Chun Yujing asked him with a smile, "Young master, are you going out to play? Do you want me to accompany you?"

Yan Yue shook his head, and said happily: "No, I'm going to Prince Liang's Mansion to deliver the letter for my second uncle!"

Chunyu Jing: "..."

He pulled out another friendly smile, "What letter? Can you show it to uncle?"

"No, uncle can't read other people's letters!" Yan Yue still knew this.

"Okay." Chunyujing didn't insist, "but I have to go with you. You know it's dangerous outside and there are a lot of bad guys. If you're taken away, you'll never be able to go home and see you again." Daddy!"

Yan Yue was taken aback by him.

When they arrived at Prince Liang's mansion, Bai Yu was still in the palace and Chunyu Jing asked Yan Yue to deliver the letter to the guard.Yan Yue thought he would see Bai Yu, so he was a little disappointed and took out the letter to the guard.

"Young master, go back to the carriage first, I have a few words to explain." Chunyu Jing said.

Yan Yue obediently followed the wet nurse into the carriage.

Chunyujing turned around and took the letter back.

The letter fell into Yan Xun's hands, and he threw it into the charcoal basin after reading it.

Yan Xun stared at the letter paper that was gradually burning to ashes in the charcoal basin, and said calmly: "Let the nurse and servant serving Taotao be more vigilant, and if there is another time, he will be killed directly."

"Then the second son..."

"Don't let him know anything."

"Yes."

Yan Xun's face was gloomy, and he suddenly smiled, "Qin Ran, Mu Fengyi, Chunyu Xuan back then, and now Yan Zun, all of them are my subordinates and relatives, why did they all favor him in the end... Now it's just you. It seems to be my problem."

Chunyujing muttered for a moment, then hesitatingly whispered: "General, otherwise...or tell King Liang."

Yan Xun: "..."

Although Chun Yujing had this in mind, as long as Yan Xun disagreed, he still didn't want to go against Yan Xun.

Yan Xun gradually discovered that Bai Yu was indeed more likable than him.The rebellion back then was over, and Bai Yu found the real Shen Qing again, strangling the chaos in the cradle, and with the blessings of Shen Qing's closed disciples, coupled with Bai Yu's own exquisite handling style and that face, the former The scolding has completely turned into all kinds of compliments, and there are not many people who don't like him in the whole week.

In contrast, Yan Xun who "abandoned his husband and daughter" is not so noble.People said that he and Liang Wang had so many children, and they had to separate when their relationship was over. He took over all his sons, and threw his two daughters to Bai Yu and had to follow his own surname, which was really unkind.

Besides, the children were all born to King Liang.

"General Yan is just tired of looking at me, don't blame him, just blame me for not being as tender and submissive as a woman. Son... son, I can't win him." Bai Yu said.

Yan Xun said nothing.

Afterwards, the rumors became more and more varied. Some people calculated carefully that King Liang was only 16 years old when he was kidnapped by General Yan, and he was not yet a very mature age.So……

Bai Yu no longer paid attention to other people's tongues, and concentrated on researching reforms.

In the past two years, he traveled with Shen Qing to various countries, and he saw and heard a lot. He found that in a country with strong national power, its people have confidence in what they say and do. The social atmosphere is tolerant and open, and they have the courage to accept all foreign things. Spread your own national character through the ages.

When the Qianqiu Festival is approaching, he has already drawn up a bunch of new policies.Various detailed reform measures have been put forward in various aspects such as culture, education, military administration, legal system, prison, diplomacy, and farming.

However, reform does not happen overnight, and there will be no good results if the seedlings are encouraged to grow at the inappropriate time, so Bai Yu arranged these strategies bit by bit for 20 years, and the first immediate priority is education.

This is a hidden pain in Bai Yu's childhood.

Naturally, rich families invite their husbands to teach at home, while ordinary people can only rely on private schools.But there are too few private schools, so the tuition fees are not cheap. He can't afford to go to school, and every day he hears the sound of other people's children reading in private schools with envy.

Site selection for newly established government-run schools across the country has been completed and construction will begin soon.The queen, who has always been virtuous, also took the initiative to ask for an order, saying that her birthday should not be too extravagant, and the money saved would be used to build a school.

The queen's understanding of righteousness has been unanimously recognized by the whole country, and the emperor is also very pleased.In order to make the queen happy, he specially ordered someone to go to Weiyan, and invited a relative of her natal family to come over to relieve the queen's homesickness.

That day the emperor called Yan Xun into the palace, and after chatting with him about state affairs for a while, the emperor suddenly said with a smile: "There is something very interesting, why don't you come and explain it to me."

"Yes."

The emperor glanced at him for a moment, and said: "I sent the Imperial Forest Army to pick up King Wu'an back to the capital, and asked them to bring the imperial doctor, and told them that if King Wu'an's health is no longer able to walk, he must not be forced. But guess what, they arrived Over there, I saw King Wu An practicing boxing in the courtyard, shaking the plum blossom piles."

Yan Xun's eyelids twitched, and he bowed his head in silence.

"Yan Xun, the crime of deceiving the emperor is not a joke, what are you up to?"

Yan Xun glanced at the emperor, and simply said: "I wanted to go to Sichuan and Shu by myself, and leave Beijing for a while."

"Why?" asked the emperor.

"...I don't want to see King Liang." Yan Xun said.

The emperor was obviously unhappy, and said: "I left him in the court, are you really so dissatisfied? Tell me the truth, what do you think in your heart?"

Yan Xundao: "I have nothing to dissatisfy with the emperor's arrangement. I can't tell right from wrong, I have to blame myself."

Before he could speak, a man suddenly rushed out from the inner hall, threw a pillow in his hand over Yan Xun's head and face, and cursed angrily, "Do you think I want to see you?!"

Yan Xun didn't hide, just let him smash it.

The emperor looked at them now, thinking about the past, with a sad expression on his face, "You are all so stubborn and unwilling to give up a single cent, it is simply because you cared too much. Otherwise, the past two years have changed, and there is nothing to make life difficult. But Then again, how many two years can there be in a person's life, and everything must be cherished in order to last for a long time, don't you think?"

Yan Xun listened quietly, his mind drifted slowly, feeling helpless and tired.

Bai Yu pointed at him and said, "Yan Xun, I've endured you enough! You just want to break it off with me, right? But I won't let you! I don't believe you don't have any feelings for me anymore! You, Yan Xun, are the most You can afford to let go, you deliberately indifference me and alienate me, precisely because you care about me! Do you still think I am that 16-year-old kid? Do you think I don’t understand you!!”

Yan Xun's heart was beating violently, but his face was still indifferent, "It's my fault for causing such a big misunderstanding to Your Highness."

Bai Yu ignored him, and continued: "Except for Jiuhuaqiu's matter, I think I have nothing to do to you these years. Although I can't figure out why you did this, one day I will make you regret it and make you beg on your knees. I forgive. Just wait and see!"

His eyes were like a cornered herbivore, turning its direction to make a desperate fight with the predator, with the sharp edge of fighting.
