Liang Jianyan

Spring is especially special, the breeze comes with the snow.

At the end of the year, the folks are busy preparing for the Yuanzheng Day, and the palace is no exception. The Yuanzheng Day is the beginning of a new year. According to the etiquette system, a grand court meeting will be held in the main hall of the palace, where the emperor summons civil and military officials. , Accept the tribute from the envoys of various countries, and also receive the envoys of various countries.Wu Ze, Qing of Taichang Temple, went to the palace every day to report to Liang Xuanliang about the sacrificial ceremony.

"That's good, I gave the officials annual leave, but I'm tired." Liang Xuanliang hadn't had a good night's sleep for a few days, and her temper became a little irritable, "There are not many people under my command who I can rest assured of! "

Qi Zhaoyan helped him look at the list of offerings from various places, and seeing that he was so impatient, he reminded him: "Although the Great Court Meeting is not a political matter, it is a major event that reflects your majesty's favor to Kyushu, and your majesty has to persevere. "

Rubbing her ears, Liang Xuanliang said, "You mother-in-law's problem is really getting worse."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment."

"Oh, you're the only one who dares to talk to me like this." Liang Xuanliang rubbed the center of her brows, "You are here to help me read these documents again. I'm panicking with a headache, go out to get some air."

"Yes."

At this time, the palace was covered with snow, and the palace people were cleaning up the clothes in a hurry.People coming and going saw Liang Xuanliang kneeling down to salute, he felt annoyed in his ears.

Unknowingly, he walked to a clean place, and when he came back to his senses, it turned out to be a barracks——since he saw Yan Chen last time, he was busy with the affairs of the court, and Yan Chen was recuperating, and he was never on duty. Well, it's gone for a few days.

I don't know how he is...

Liang Xuanliang hesitated for a moment, then started up the steps.

Young Young went to the Imperial Medical Office early in the morning to find Bai Xu to get medicine for Yan Chen.With nothing to do, Yan Chen went to Mo Xiangxuan to get a pen and paper, and went back to practice calligraphy in his room.I was writing at the end, but was startled by the eager knock on the door, and the words I wrote were wrong.Looking at the remnants in the middle with a little regret, Yan Chen sighed.

"You, why are you always so reckless..." He thought it was the young man who came back, and wanted to teach him to be calm.Opening the door, she saw Liang Xuanliang looking at him with a smile on her face.

What did he say, I haven't seen you for a few days, you are so courageous, you dare to despise me?

"...Your Majesty dare not." Yan Chen turned sideways and lowered his head slightly, "Please, Your Majesty."

Liang Xuanliang just entered the door.

Su Huaimei had reported to Yan Chen before, saying that Liang Xuanliang was furious because of his poisoning and confined Sima Yan in Yong'an Palace.He had a plan in mind, so he told Su Huaimei not to contact him in the near future, and everything would come to fruition on New Year's Eve.He himself has taken care of himself, and has been "recovering" in peace these few days.It just so happened that the imperial court was approaching, and Liang Xuanliang didn't have time to pay attention to him.

So how did he come here?

"Your room is very cold, without even a charcoal fire, how can you take good care of yourself?" Liang Xuanliang glanced at Yan Chen's single clothes with disgust, and said angrily: "You are deliberately angry with me, you want to keep wearing such thin clothes. Can't heal well, so you can hide from me?"

I remember that I left you a cloak here, you go and put it on!

"……Yes."

Liang Xuanliang watched Yan Chen put on the golden dark pattern cloak, and lost her anger in an instant.He picked up the paper on the table, "You wrote this?"

"Just have nothing to do."

"Yes, you used to have the habit of practicing calligraphy and composing poems. The person called Mo Xiangxuan will give you some pens, ink, paper and inkstone later, and bring you the poetry collection of Donggong."

Alas, I am so busy that I am dizzy, and you have nothing to do.

Hearing such childish complaints, Yan Chen chuckled lightly, and said that if you are looking for a job in his position, you are the emperor now.

Liang Xuanliang raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, saying what, you still want to usurp the throne?

Perhaps because the conversation between the two of them was like this, Yan Chen was not as shaken as before. He raised his head and said: "This is human law, not the emperor's, and we have to abide by it."

"Heh." Seeing that Yan Chen was not angry, Liang Xuanliang lost interest in refuting him, and looked down at the writing in her hand.

The frosty branches and flowers of Lingding are gone, and the lights and candles are still bright.

Stay on New Year's Eve at the end of the year, and the warmth of spring bids farewell to the coldness of winter.

Just looking at the words written in the pen and smoke, and reading the poems written in such a way, there is a smile on the brows and eyes.Liang Xuanliang looked at Yan Chen and said, Jun Ran, that although your poem is good, the last stroke of the word "lai" is badly written.

Yan Chen thought to himself, it wasn't because you knocked on the door suddenly that I made a mistake.

"But this word is beautiful, I like it." Liang Xuanliang said, "It seems that your illness is almost cured."

"Thanks to His Majesty's concern, Doctor Bai is highly skilled in medical treatment, and I have recovered."

"I still need to take care of it." Liang Xuanliang sighed, saying that I don't want my personal guard to be a sick child.

You keep this cloak, and put it on when it's cold.

"……Yes."

After a while, Young came back.Liang Xuanliang asked the young and good student to take care of Yan Chen, and then returned to Fengshu Pavilion to continue handling business.

In the evening, several servants brought charcoal fire, pens, inks, papers and inkstones to Yan Chen.After a while, a few more people came and brought the poetry collection of Donggong.

Young is worrying about the cold weather today, it is really cold in the house, which is not conducive to his family's recovery.Now that the emperor sent charcoal fire, it can be regarded as a stone in his heart.He said to Yan Chen: "The emperor really thinks highly of you, and gave you so many things."

"...Really?" Yan Chen looked at the flames dancing in the charcoal fire, feeling a little lost - thinking about it carefully, he and Liang Xuanliang had nothing to do with each other except for their childhood mistakes.Even if it was a childhood thing, it was his fault.Now that he is forced to become a "remnant of the former dynasty", Liang Xuanliang has become the current emperor, and they have become old enemies.He has the blood of the Yan royal family on his body, and the hatred of family ruin binds his body and mind.There are so many people waiting for him to revive Daqing. He vowed to be a good emperor since he was a child, but now he can only use this method to seize the world.

Besides, Liang Xuanliang is still a half-grown child, and he himself is still under the control of others... Do I want him to go my way again and bear the infamy of "the remnants of the previous dynasty"?

Family, country, world, loyalty, filial piety, love, is the sage's words right or wrong?

My choice, right or wrong...

He suddenly felt guilty, but that guilt welled up in his heart mixed with warmth.

Even though he regretted all kinds of things and made all kinds of mistakes, he had no way out.

The days passed faster than expected, and the palace was busy before dawn at the end of the year.Yan Chen recovered from his illness, so naturally he had to be on duty, and in the afternoon he led a team of guards to Zhu Fengtai.

"Your Majesty is going to entertain all the officials here tonight, you must guard the Emperor well."

Yan Chen said to those guards, and those guards comprehended immediately and complied -- these people were actually arranged by Wang Yizheng.

He nodded, just as the maid who was attending the banquet came to set up a fruit plate - Sima Yan was grounded, so Liang Xuanliang handed over the preparation of the palace banquet to Su Huaimei.Yan Chen walked up to the maid in charge, and asked, "Auntie, is the concubine Shu sent here to prepare the palace banquet?"

"Yes." The court lady in charge saluted, "Concubine Shu said that the palace banquet has been arranged properly, and the guards of Yan only need to protect the emperor."

"I understand." Yan Chen said, "Please ask my aunt to report back to your mother, I will do my best."

In the evening, all the clan members of the royal family, as well as important officials in the court, came to Zhu Fengtai.At this time, the emperor had not arrived, so they sat together and talked about what they saw and thought in the court and the people.

Yan Chen looked up at Shi Chen, and said to his subordinates: "I'll go and see Your Majesty, you stay here and watch carefully."

Liang Xuanliang was still arranging her luggage in the Taihua Palace. She had just put on the Tongtian Crown, but felt that this attire was really uncomfortable.The servant came in to report that it was the Yan guard who asked to see him.He waved his hand as a response, and soon heard Yan Chen's voice.

"I see you, Your Majesty."

"You came just in time." Liang Xuanliang turned around, "Do you see that my clothes are decent?"

"Your Majesty is wise and mighty, and he is naturally radiant."

"I was asking you how your clothes are. Who asked you how you are?" Liang Xuanliang sighed, and said forget it. With your temperament, it would be embarrassing for you to praise others against your heart.

After finishing speaking, he walked up to Yan Chen, and took a good look at Yan Chen's whole body, "You are still in good spirits, it seems that your illness is recovering quickly."

Yan Chen bowed back: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."

"After the palace banquet is over today, walk with me." He whispered into Yan Chen's ear, "I have something to give you."

"Eh?"

Before he could react to Liang Xuanliang's words, he heard someone yelling in from outside - Sima Shen was wearing armor, followed by King Liang Xuanxian of Zhou, and a group of soldiers followed.

Liang Xuanliang looked around at these people, her eyes finally fixed on King Zhou.He said with a smile: "The second brother came early today, and we two brothers just caught up with each other."

Zhou Wang was made guilty by Liang Xuanliang's smile. He avoided Liang Xuanliang's gaze and whispered, "Fifth Brother, Second Brother is not here to catch up with you today."

"Oh?" Liang Xuanliang frowned and looked at Sima Shen, then laughed again. "That's right, since this outsider is here, we two brothers, it's not easy to talk about family matters."

General Sima, I have something to say to the King of Zhou, please step back.

Sima Shen snorted disdainfully, saying that the one who will step down today is probably Your Majesty!

Liang Xuanliang's smile froze on her face, "What does General Sima mean?"

"Liang Xuanliang, you killed your father and brother and usurped the throne. Today we will avenge the late emperor and embrace the king of Zhou as emperor!"

"Come here, escort! Escort!" Du Guanxuan yelled loudly, but none of the palace guards came in.

Sima Shen sneered, and said don't bother, both inside and outside the Taihua Palace are already my people.

Upon hearing this, Liang Xuanliang suddenly burst out laughing.Pointing at King Zhou, he said contemptuously: "You want to establish Liang Xuanxian as emperor? He didn't even dare to fight with me back then, but now he has the support of you dog slaves, this rabbit is about to bite people ?”

"The king of Zhou is the son of the former emperor and empress. He is benevolent and magnanimous. He is the true son of heaven. That's something a usurper like you can talk about freely!"

"Usurp the throne? Hmph!" Liang Xuanliang sat back on the bed and looked at Sima Shen coldly, "Back then, the late emperor was seriously ill and died without treatment. Which one of your eyes saw that it was I who killed the late emperor. Fifth brother..." He looked Xiang Zhou Wang said, "As a minister and a member of the royal family, you were deceived by treacherous officials and intended to rebel, and you will be punished with death!"

If you repent now, for the sake of blood relatives, I will forgive you.

King Zhou seemed to be shaken by what he said, he wanted to speak, but was stopped by Sima Shen.

"Rebel, do you think His Royal Highness King Zhou will listen to your rhetoric?!" Sima Shen became more arrogant, "I have 2000 troops, and now [-] people are surrounding your palace. Hand over the imperial edict and jade seal, and I will take good care of my son-in-law."

"Oh——" Liang Xuanliang sighed a long time, saying that it's a pity that this jade seal is not in my hands.

By the way, father-in-law, I forgot to tell you, Yan'er is in the dungeon now, I guess my Qianji army will treat her well.

"You!" Sima Shen was furious, raised his sword and stabbed at Liang Xuanliang, but was blocked - Yan Chen held the Feiyan dagger in his hand, and knocked the sword in Sima Shen's hand to the ground with just three moves.

Sima Shen glared at Yan Chen, and said mockingly: "You are a remnant of the former dynasty, but you are very loyal. It was rumored that you were favored by this little emperor before. It seems that you are very happy to be the favorite of your subordinates!"

That's fine, let the two of you be companions on Huangquan Road today!

"I'm afraid General Sima will get it wrong. I don't intend to save Liang Xuanliang." After saying that, he turned around, and the knife was actually on Liang Xuanliang's neck.

A trace of surprise flashed across Liang Xuanliang's face, but she calmed down again in an instant. "Other people have a family reunion on New Year's Eve, but my New Year's Eve is a good show!"

Sima Shen looked puzzled, "Yan Chen, what are you doing?"

"What are you doing?" Yan Chen glanced at Sima Shen, then at Liang Xuanliang, "Of course it is to take back the world."

"General, it's bad!" A soldier staggered in and shouted, "The river in Yizhou has collapsed!"

"What?" Sima Shen was shocked, "Where's the grain depot?!"

"The food and grass are all flooded, even the large army lying in Yizhou is also flooded!"

Yan Chen said, "Master Sima, do you still like this gift?"

"It's you?!!" Sima Shen looked at Yan Chen incredulously, "You actually... come here and take Yan Chen down for me!"

A group of soldiers stepped forward, but did not move Yan Chen, but pushed Sima Shen to the ground.Sima Shen was completely dumbfounded at this moment, "You guys!"

"I advise General Sima to be more acquainted." Yan Chen said, "Otherwise, my life will be lost."

"...You changed my person!"

"It's just a little trick." Yan Chen said with a smile, "Compared with General Sima's transfer from the imperial garrison army and secretly changing the three armies in front of the palace, it's too far behind."

King Zhou was so frightened that he lost his soul, and fell to the ground trembling.

Liang Xuanliang glanced at him, and cursed secretly, "No Promise".

"Liang Xuanliang."

"Huh?" Liang Xuanliang raised her head when Yan Chen called him.He didn't look panicked at all, and even had a faint smile on his lips, looking straight at Yan Chen.

This expression made Yan Chen feel really uncomfortable in his heart, he tightened the strength on his hands, and said: "You Liang family took my throne from my Yan family, you should return it today!"

Liang Xuanliang couldn't help laughing, what's the matter, are you going to collect debts from me?

Have you forgotten your identity?You are my man, you can only listen to my words!

"To shut up!"

Liang Xuanliang continued to say, "Didn't I treat you well?"

The moon is under the flowers, and the wine is a song.Appreciate the scenery on a snowy night and talk about it heart-to-heart.I treat you so sincerely, are you going to kill me now?

Every word and every word Liang Xuanliang said pierced deeply into Yan Chen's heart, as if she wanted to tear away all the memories of that romantic time, and flow that unknown emotion all over her body.But another voice screamed in his ear: Do you still remember how your relatives died tragically, and how your father was humiliated!

For so many years, you have suffered so much and endured humiliation. What is it for? ! !

Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, Yan Chen looked at Liang Xuanliang, trying to calm down his breath, "You and I are enemies, so there is no need to talk about affection!"

"Are you really going to kill me?"

"So what?"

Liang Xuanliang frowned, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Yan Chen's hand holding the knife.Yan Chen was startled, and using force with his hand, he actually cut a long gash on Liang Xuanliang's skin.

"Hiss—" Liang Xuanliang's brows furrowed deeper, but she grabbed Yan Chen's hand even harder. "This is the dagger I gave you, now you want to use it to kill me?"

Bright red blood oozes from the snow-white skin, and Yan Chen is at a loss for a moment—thinking that he went out to kill the enemy at the age of 12, even if he had fear and fear, it was all worn away during the long battle.Now, he is a little scared.

Liang Xuanliang looked at Yan Chen's face and suddenly smiled. "Jun Ran, your hands are shaking."

"I……"

"Report!" A soldier ran in from outside, whispered a few words into Yan Chen's ear.

Yan Chen opened his eyes wide after hearing this, and looked at Liang Xuanliang in shock behind his ears.

Liang Xuanliang smiled calmly.

"Admit defeat, Jun Ran." He said, "You can't beat me."
