I heard my brother is a tyrant

A hundred days of national mourning in plain clothes, there is no entertainment, the whole capital is a bit quiet.There is nothing to play in the city, so Han Jingshu sneaks up to invite Ye Chu out of the city to ride a horse.

Ye Chu said, why don't we go to Ruyi Xiaozhuang to play, this is the season to pick persimmons, and asked her to call Mrs. Han.Sure enough, when Mrs. Han heard that she was going to Ruyi Xiaozhuang, she agreed without saying a word.Xie Dan knew that the little girl deliberately asked Mrs. Han to talk, so she didn't go with her.Ye Chu picked out a fine day, and asked Mrs. Han and her daughter to meet at Dongcheng Gate, and drove to Ruyi Xiaozhuang together.

After entering Zhuangzi, Ye Chu went to the main courtyard to offer incense to Mrs. Ye as usual, and Ye Yu came in after her. When he saw Mrs. Ye's memorial tablet, he burst into tears.

After Ye Yu burned the incense and gradually calmed down, Ye Chu took her to the east room where Mrs. Ye lived before, asked her to sit down, and respectfully worshiped her.

"Good boy, you know?" Ye Yu pulled her up with red eyes.

"Brother said, if I want to know some old things about my parents, I can ask Mrs. Han." Ye Chu said, "I asked the female officer Ding next to me, and then I found out that your surname is actually Ye, and you are my mother's sister. .”

She saluted and said, "Ye Chu met Auntie. Auntie, forgive Ye Chu for not knowing before, but I should have thought of it earlier."

It's just that she only knew that this was Mrs. Han, and she was not familiar with her. The married woman had never introduced her maiden name, and no one deliberately told her, so she didn't know that Mrs. Han's surname was Ye.

"Good boy, how can I blame you." Ye Yu smiled and wiped his tears, "I didn't expect it either. I was stunned every time I saw you at that time, and I didn't dare to tell you because of various concerns."

Ye Yu knew that Xie Dan didn't tell Ye Chu personally, but asked her to ask her, probably afraid that the little girl would not be able to accept it all at once, and secondly, Xie Dan didn't seem to be easy to talk about the old things about Guo Yu and Mrs. Ye. It seems more suitable for my aunt.

Han Jingshu had already followed Ye Hui and the others to pick persimmons. Ye Chu and Ye Yu were sitting in front of the window in the room, and Ye Yu roughly told her what happened back then.

"I hate Guo Yu, but he is indeed your biological father." Ye Yu said, "If it weren't for what happened back then, you should have been born in the Marquis's Mansion in the capital, where you grew up with gold and jade, so how could you have suffered so much?"

Ye Chu was already somewhat prepared in his heart, but felt that things were so bizarre because of the twist of fate.

She thought for a while and said calmly: "My aunt doesn't have to worry about this. Although Ye Chu was not a noble man since he was a child, he was pampered and protected by his elder brother. How could he be willing to make me suffer."

"Your Majesty treats the girl very well." Ye Yu smiled, but she always had some secret worries in her heart. Ye Chu is so ignorant of the world, yet he chooses to be the Empress of the Central Palace. The palace is as deep as the sea. Can His Majesty's love really last a lifetime? .

She thought for a while, and persuaded softly, "The princess is the future queen, who will be the mother of the world and in charge of the six palaces in the future. I think your majesty has placed a female officer next to the princess. The princess has always been very smart. Why don't you take advantage of it now?" Learn etiquette in the palace, learn how to manage palace affairs, in the future... even if there are other concubines in the palace, they will definitely not surpass the empress."

"No." Ye Chu shook his head, and said firmly, "Brother won't have any concubines, and I will take care of any six palaces. He promised me that there will never be anyone else between us."

"Your Majesty promised you?" Ye Yu was startled. The three palaces and six courtyards, the maids in the bedroom, even if the emperor is special, but these are all ancestral rules, and it is related to the country and the emperor's heirs. It is not just whether the emperor wants it or not. It's so simple, and besides, it's the Ninth Five-Year King, can the emperor really do what he says?

Since ancient times, men are so unlucky. Thinking about the elder sister, Guo Yu had promised before marriage that she would never take a concubine...

Ye Yu instinctively became worried again, but heard Ye Chu say firmly: "Yes, my brother promised me, aunt, I know that since ancient times, the emperors have been in the Sangong and Liuyuan, but it was someone else. I believe in my brother, as long as he promised me. , has always been said to be done.”

"Your Majesty treats the Princess differently." Ye Yu asked after a pause, "Will you forgive him if the Princess hates Guo Yu?"

Ye Chu was silent for a moment, then said: "In fact, he never felt sorry for me. I haven't even met him before, so I can't talk about love or hate. What he felt sorry for was my mother. My mother is no longer alive. How can I decide for my mother whether to forgive me or not?"

She hated what he did. To her, Guo Yu was just her biological father.

***

After the matter of the false county head was settled, Prince Zhong's Mansion was silent for a while.

Such a big event can be described as a sensation. Guo Yu had to face the strange eyes of everyone when he went to court, and he said that he was sick and could not go to court. In addition, it was just in time for the national funeral, so he simply stayed at home. The Zhongwang Mansion closed its doors all day long. Closed the door to thank guests, even his loyal subordinates who were officials in the same dynasty could not see him.

Guo Yu didn't know how to face the world and his real daughter for a while.When the imperial decree to pursue Ye Zhen was issued, he was more shocked and unbelievable, eager to see his daughter, wanted to find out what happened, but as the matter developed step by step, Guo Zijin confessed, Guo Zijin confessed, Heng Che cracked the death penalty, the truth was so ironic, it was all caused by the people around him, Guo Yu was really hit.

The daughter who has been raised for more than ten years is just a fake, and this fake knows that he is fake, but it was made by his adopted son whom he trusted. He had no face to meet people, at first he was eager to see Ye Chu, but now he didn't even have the courage to meet Ye Chu.

However, he was still the king of the imperial court after all, and he couldn't keep seeing people and going to court. After more than a month, Guo Yucai reappeared in the court hall. As soon as Chen Lianjiang shouted "Retreat", Guo Yu turned around and left.

Several military generals who followed him in the past approached, and one of them whispered, "My lord, have you been to the princess mansion, can you see the princess?"

Guo Yu walked forward without saying a word, and another person persuaded: "My lord, don't be discouraged. After all, you are your own flesh and blood. Blood is thicker than water. Even if the princess is angry for a while, you can say that he is her biological father. How can she really deny you. You just give up your face and go a few more times, she will always see you, there is nothing that my own father and daughter can't get rid of."

She is the honor of the princess and the future queen, so she can only be soft. This is not an ordinary woman, and she can be suppressed by the filial piety of father and daughter.A few people came up with ideas one after another, it was nothing more than the little daughter's family, coaxing more, saying a few more good words, preparing some gifts, getting more silk, satin, jewelry and the like that the little daughter's family likes...

One of them said: "Your Majesty, this subordinate said something that shouldn't be said. You have to think of a way. It's not just your daughter, but she will be the queen of Dazhou in the future. It was indeed our fault that day. We don't want to find a way. In the future How can I see Your Majesty and the Empress? Having said that, even Your Majesty will be your son-in-law in the future. Between Weng and Son-in-Law, what can Your Majesty really do to you? Just go and beg Your Majesty, be soft and tough, Your Majesty And the princess will always calm down."

Guo Yu was annoyed by what they said, so he stopped suddenly and scolded irritably, "What face do you want me to use to see her? Besides, if Your Majesty is willing to let me see her, why haven't I seen my daughter's face until now?" ?”

Guo Yu returned to the palace. Although the huge palace was full of servants, Guo Yu always felt alone and alone.

A steward came in hastily and said: "My lord, I heard that Princess Duanning left the mansion today, and went out of the city with the carriage from Xuanpinghou's mansion."

"Where did you go?" Guo Yu asked hastily.

The steward shook his head to express his ignorance.Guo Yu wondered if they would go to Ruyi Xiaozhuang, so he looked at the sky and said, "Prepare the horse, my king will go out for a while."

Guo Yu originally wanted to go out of the city, but he was worried about being turned away, or if he went astray again, he turned around and simply returned to the city gate to guard.

He sat in a teahouse at the city gate for a while, and finally saw the guard of honor of the princess entering the gate. Guo Yu hurried downstairs. The four-horse carriage with the green mantle, silver chi and vermilion roof, followed by the Han family's carriage.

The car drove into the city gate and stopped, and the maid helped a delicate and beautiful girl down. The girl was wearing a plain bamboo green dress and a lotus-colored cape. She smiled lightly and followed behind her. Ye Yu's mother and daughter who got off the carriage saluted and said goodbye to each other.

In a blink of an eye, Guo Yu was still more than a dozen feet away through the long guard of honor. Suddenly, her eyebrows, eyes, and facial features were unclear, but the girl's figure, demeanor, and the charm of her faint smile suddenly made her feel ashamed. He saw Mrs. Ye when he was young, and Guo Yuru was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze. Only at this moment did he really understand what it means to be similar in spirit and what it means to be connected by blood.

If he could have seen this girl earlier, he probably wouldn't be so sure of Guo Zijin's identity.Guo Yu seemed to have something stuck in his throat, he didn't move his feet, he couldn't take his eyes off the girl in front of him.The servant noticed something strange and reminded him, Ye Chu raised his eyes and looked over.

"Prince Zhong?" Ye Yu glanced over, his expression changed immediately, and he asked, "What are you doing here?"

Ye Chu looked at him and guessed who he was when he heard Ye Yu's words. Seeing Guo Yu staring at him closely, his eyes were mixed with sadness and joy, and there were faint tears.Ye Chu was silent, and after a distance, he saluted slightly, and greeted respectfully: "His Royal Highness, King Zhong."

At that moment, Guo Yu felt a sharp pain in his heart, and wept into the girl's familiar eyes.He looked at the girl in front of him with a light smile, and with the help of the maid, he boarded the carriage, and watched the guard of honor drive away from the Han family's carriage, passing by in front of him, and gradually walked away.

Different from the shocked cry when the imperial decree was issued, Guo Yu felt only a kind of powerless dull pain in his heart at this moment, which made his throat feel raw.

"My lord, my lord..." The servant tugged at his sleeve, looked at his expression and said in a low voice, "My lord, the Princess is gone, what should we do..."

"... Enter the palace."

Guo Yu understood very well that the emperor would not let him admit it, and he would only embarrass his daughter if he rushed forward to pester her on the street in front of the city gate.

After more than a month, Xie Dan nodded and said, "Let him in."

Guo Yu was still wearing the regular clothes he had just left, and when he entered the hall, he respectfully paid his respects.Xie Tan put down the scroll in his hand, and asked, "Pingshen. Why did King Zhong see me?"

"Your Majesty..." Guo Yu didn't get up, but still fell on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I beg you, let me see my daughter. I know that I am sorry for their mother and daughter, and I owe a lot. She is the only one in my life. A daughter, I beg you to give this old minister a chance to make amends, this old minister will definitely do his best to serve the Great Zhou, and do his best for His Majesty, and he will never dare to slack off in the slightest."

"King Zhong seems to have misunderstood it." Xie Dan said, "What An An lacks is not a courtier. She has grown up now, and she does not lack a father. An An lacks everything and has everything. She doesn't need to make up for it at all."

"Your Majesty..." Guo Yu burst into tears, "But what can the old minister do? The Princess has lost her mother. Since His Majesty made her the empress, he should consider it for her. I beg His Majesty to let the old minister take her home. I have spent my whole life preparing for her to marry. The princess is young and the future queen, so the old minister is still somewhat useful."

"She has her own Princess's Mansion." Xie Dan said, "Do you still rely on you when you think she is? An An will prepare for marriage in the Princess's Mansion."

"Why?" Guo Yu said sadly, "The old minister didn't touch the concubine daughter of the Ye family back then. I blamed me for being angry with my wife. I have suffered for the rest of my life. Now I just want to try my best to make up for my daughter. She is my own. Your Majesty's daughter is a human being of flesh and blood, how could His Majesty not let the veteran see her for so long, how could he bear it, His Majesty has never let me see her, so how do you know that she doesn't want to recognize me!"

"Just because I am the king and you are the minister!" Xie Dan said angrily, "You are a husband and a father, you say you are angry with your wife, and you are making a big mistake if you don't notice, but you are so angry that you leave Madam Ye and run back to the border. , if you hadn't been irresponsible and left, Madam might not have died of depression and injury, why did my An An lose her mother at such a young age, and how could she be born prematurely and be sickly and weak since she was a child!"

"I don't know if An An will forgive you, but I don't want to forgive you."

Xie Dan paused, then sighed softly and said, "Guo Yu, have you ever thought about it? Now that you regret it, you keep saying that you want to make up for her. You are her biological father. Everyone in the world will say that blood is thicker than water. If she does not accept you, she will probably be called unfeeling and unfilial, but if she forgives and accepts you, where will she leave her mother, Mrs. Ye? You want to reunite your father and daughter and make up for it, but you put her Put in a dilemma, how do you tell her to deal with herself?"

"Old minister...understood." Guo Yu bowed to the bottom and said, "If your majesty is willing to believe in the loyalty of the old minister, please allow the old minister to return to the border of Liangzhou. The old minister can't live in the capital now. The old minister is going to flatten the North Court. Capture the capital of Beiting and give it to my daughter as a wedding dowry!"

Xie Dan was not surprised that he would have this idea, and said calmly: "Beiting is a bitterly cold place, the two countries are living in peace now, and the people of Dazhou also need to recuperate. I don't want to use troops right now."

"You go to the south of the Yangtze River," Xie Dan said, "I have decreed to rebuild the mausoleum for Mrs. Ye. You can go to Wuzhong to be responsible for building the mausoleum and temple for Mrs. Ye. As for Beijing, I will order Mrs. Han to do it for you." An An is ready to marry."

Guo Yu was filled with grief and joy in an instant, the two lines burst into tears, and kowtowed: "Old minister, thank the Lord for your kindness!"
