The second year of Changping is almost over, and the New Year's Eve is approaching, but Chen Guo is not in Changping.

The warring sides face off at the border.As a third party, Yasukuni has secretly communicated with Chen Guo to express its support, but so far it has not moved.

Commitment is just empty talk, and actual profit is what they really care about.

While waiting to break the game, they send troops to help the side that has the upper hand and join the winner's camp.

But as Xu Jiashi promised, the flames of war on the border did not reach Jiangzhou, so Yansui could return with peace of mind.

A few months ago, when Yan Sui left the capital, apart from the guards, he only brought Shuangshun and Pei Liangfang with him.This return trip, there are more cousins, elder sisters, nephews and children. The road back to Beijing is not lonely, but the old prince died in Jiangzhou, and he and Pei Liangfang may never see each other again.

There are always regrets in life, and there is always a banquet in the world.

Before leaving, Yan Ji suddenly said that he would not return to the capital for the time being.

Why are you leaving?

Yan Sui's heart was low, and the feeling of being alone and lonely emerged spontaneously, and he sincerely persuaded him to stay: "Brother, I am not someone who crosses rivers and demolishes bridges. Xu'er has taken up the title of Prince Zheng's son, and I will do everything I can to compensate my brother."

Yan Ji shook his head: "Your Majesty, I understand your intentions. But I can't sleep on the high bed and soft pillows in the capital, and the glory and wealth are also shackles to me. The old prince died because of me, and I want to repent and make amends. Your Majesty, let me Go to the border and defend against the enemy with Xu Jiashi, although I only have one arm, but I am not disabled, I am not a useless person. If I can make great achievements in battle, it will be more justifiable to make Xuer the crown prince."

Yan Sui blushed: "It was Gaozong who committed a crime and left a disaster, but I stayed in the rear and let the victims go to work. My brother has considered this for me, and I am ashamed of it."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to feel guilty. I went to the battlefield to prove that I am not a useless person. If it is for whom..." Yan Ji looked at Yan Sui solemnly, "The queen treated me very well when she was alive. In fact, although my father was unwilling, But he was willing to submit to Crown Prince Yanxu, only to discover the existence of Xu Min later...Your Majesty, your appearance and character are exactly like the former empress, and the lineage of King Zheng will always be loyal to you."

The past events seemed paradoxical in the simple words, Yan Sui had no time to understand deeply, Yan Ji left and went to the front in military uniform.

Saying goodbye to Yan Ji at the tower, Yan Sui turned around and saw Ashu's eyes were red and her lips were tightly pursed.

Yan Sui sighed, and took the child into his arms: "Cry if you want to."

The child was trembling in his arms, and it took a long time to make a sound: "They don't want me anymore. I don't want to study medicine anymore, I want to continue stealing things, anyway, I don't have a home, no family, no one wants to control me!"

"You can't say such things when you are angry again." Yan Sui caressed the child's rosy face, "Although your master is gone, the letter he left contains the homework you have to practice for the past six months, and you are not allowed to be lazy. As for Your father..."

Yan Sui looked over the city wall and looked into the distance: "He is a real gentleman with noble ambition and character. You have to learn from him. They don't want you, but they have to do things by themselves. You have a family. Wait for the book to be Xu'er Prince Chu, I will make you the son of King Zheng again, and you will not only have a father, but also an uncle, and we will be one family."

"I don't care." A Shu wiped tears on the back of his hand, raised his head to look at Yan Sui, and asked with a sob, "Can master protect himself? Will father really come back? People will die in war..."

"I will come back." Yan Sui's eyes were firm, "The battle of justice must be won. My family and lover, friends and relatives will all come back."

-

The day they arrived in the capital was the full moon of the children. King Wu had already prepared a family banquet in the palace, which was not only to celebrate the two children, but also to cleanse the dust for His Majesty.

The battle on the front line was tense, the expenses in the palace were reduced by more than half, and the banquet was much simpler than usual. King Wu sighed, and Yan Sui said: "It will not be too late to hold a big event when the children are one year old next year."

Everyone at the banquet knew the real identities of the two children, and it could be seen that the emperor was not interested because the other father was absent.

King Wu said: "It's just that, I'm afraid the outside world will even suspect that His Majesty and King Zheng are not on good terms."

Yan Sui smiled lightly: "In this way, Jingguo can rest assured."

"Your Majesty said yes."

King Wu himself has several grandchildren, and is even going to be a great-grandfather soon, and has drunk a lot of full moon wine, but seeing Yan Sui's two children, he still burst into tears: "What a wonderful child, it's not easy, it's not easy! "

Yes, these two immature babies were born after many adventures and ups and downs.They slept soundly in their swaddling babies, unaware of the dangers of the world at all.For their peace, sacrifice and suffering no longer mourn, have the value of generosity.

Yan Sui raised his glass: "For the first glass of wine, I want to respect the spirit of the old prince. If he hadn't sacrificed his life to protect each other, these two children would not have come to this world safely."

Drink the ancestors with a glass of wine, and sprinkle thick soil with sweetness.

King Wu wiped away his tears with his sleeves, and Xu Min's eyes were full of tears.

"The second glass of wine, I respect all those who have let go of their hatred in the frontier. If you hadn't stopped evil with good, the world would never have peace!"

Yan Sui raised his glass to toast, obviously not good at drinking, but he drank it with his head up, the wine spilled on the corners of his eyes, and the tails of his eyes turned red from the spicy liquid.

Yan Zhi sat beside Yan Sui, pulled his sleeves to persuade him: "Uncle Huang, that's enough, you're drunk."

"The third cup." Yan Sui poured himself another cup and clinked glasses with Yan Zhi, "I want to respect you children."

"Respect us?" Yan Zhi looked at Yan Sui in astonishment, "Uncle Huang, you are really drunk, go back and rest."

"I'm a little drunk, but I know what I'm talking about." Yan Sui's eyes were misty but radiant, "The descendants of the Yan family have been unhappy for generations, but now there are so many children, Jing Yun, A Shu, A Tu, Shi Yi and Pian Pian, you are both good children, you are the hope of the Yan family, and the future of the Chen country! You must grow up well and grow up to be worthy of the common people! I respect you!"

Yan Zhi was also so excited that tears filled his eyes, he raised his glass to drink, but Yan Sui pressed down the glass: "Jing Yun, you are still a child, and you will always be a child in front of the emperor, just use some fruit juice."

After three cups of wine, Yan Sui was really drunk, but instead of going back to Qianyong Hall to rest, he went to Taimiao by night.

——He promised to reunite the old prince and his wife, and he could not break his promise, and this matter should be done as soon as possible.

Because his father didn't like it, and Yan Sui himself felt ashamed of his brother, so in the past, except for the annual necessary sacrifices, he would not easily set foot in the Ancestral Temple, let alone the underground palace where Zigong was housed.

The Taimiao was originally deserted, and it was even more quiet at night. The ancestors engraved on the tablet were silent, not even speaking to the wind.

Yan Sui went down to the underground palace alone. The imperial mausoleum was built when Emperor Gaozong was there, designed by Emperor Gaozong himself, and the empress was placed here after her death.Emperor Gaozong often talked about "the same quilt in life, the same hole in death" when he was alive, and the husband and wife were reunited and the emperor He Xian, but when it came to the day of the funeral, his eyes were wide open and it was difficult to close his eyes.

In the two catalpa palaces side by side in the middle of the underground palace, Yan Sui knelt down in front of his mother: "Mother, I know the truth, my child is dull, and now I understand your pain, my child is not filial. I have children, and they all look like me. Naturally, I am also like you... I have met my uncle, he lives very well in Bozhou. Maybe you don't want to be trapped here anymore, I will move your coffin back to Bozhou, and the fallen leaves return to their roots."

The dead will never answer, Yan Sui got up slowly, held a candle and patted every inch of the wall of the underground palace, and found the entrance to a secret room.

It is clearly the mausoleum of the royal emperor, and the coffin of Zhou Wangfei He Sumin is in it.

Yan Sui pushed open the lid of the jade coffin, and the cold medicinal fragrance came over his face.The royal family has a secret recipe to keep the corpse from decaying. Nearly 20 years later, the person in the coffin seems to be alive.Sure enough, the emperor's wife resembled the princess very much, and the elder sister also resembled his mother.

Before and after, three similar-looking women suffered from ill-fated life and were tortured, but the same person was behind the scenes.

Do you like this face, or do you really love it?

If it is true, why can you pretend to be affectionate to others?

Yan Sui didn't understand.

Coming out of the underground palace, Yan Sui knelt in front of the tablet of the ancestors, staring up at the tablet of Gaozong.

The person who should be the closest is so strange that it is frightening.Half of Yan Sui's suffering was due to him, and his hypocritical "affection" made Yan Sui born with an ominous reputation as a "kemu".He is a biological father, but what he did did not have half the love that a father should have.

The tablets of Gaozong and Renzong are adjacent to each other, and they look harmonious and warm against the candlelight.

But it was all an illusion. The father and son were still calculating each other until their death.

And Yan Sui is a pawn in their common calculation. The dead are dead, and the living have no other choice but to forgive, and they can't even disclose the truth and criticize freely.

Yan Sui staggered to his feet, accidentally knocked over the tablets on the altar, and dropped them to the ground. Yan Sui hurriedly searched for the one with the emperor's brother's name engraved on it, but when he picked it up, he found that the tablet was cracked, revealing the middle layer, and fell out. A piece of yellowed letter paper——Brother Huang is not in good health, and he has already prepared the things behind him. The tablet was prepared by himself, and of course he left the letter.

Yan Sui unfolded the letter carefully, but still broke the corners, perhaps because of time, or maybe the secret itself is fragile and not visible.

Even though he already knew Gaozong, the content of the letter was far beyond Yan Sui's expectations.

Yan Sui propped himself up on the table and barely stopped.

Tiger poison does not eat children, but the prince, who was born with thousands of honors, was almost unable to be born. It is not surprising that he was born weak and sick since childhood.

That person's viciousness was far beyond Yan Sui's imagination.

Fear, sadness, anger... All kinds of emotions are intertwined, so strong that they almost swallow people.

Not only the empress mother and the emperor's wife shouldn't be in the Taimiao with Gaozong, even the emperor's brother shouldn't!

Yan Sui immediately wanted to move the imperial brother's memorial tablet to Baofeng Mountain to reunite with his sister-in-law and his wife, but after thinking about it, it was not the imperial brother who was ashamed of Chen Guo's ancestors.Virtue is not worthy, and those who should not enjoy the worship of the world should move out of the Taimiao!

Yan Sui staggered out of the Taimiao with the tablet of Emperor Gaozong, and saw Yan Zhi head-on.

"Uncle, you are..."

Yan Sui rubbed Yan Zhi's head: "I promised the old prince, and I can finally do it. The Taimiao caught fire, which affected the underground palace and burned Gaozong's tablet. It will take at least half a year to redo it, but it will not be repaired. Who else would know?"

Yan Zhi raised his head: "Is this okay?"

Yan Sui was sleepy with drunken eyes, and smiled gently: "Why not. Dead people are nothing to be afraid of. Even if he doesn't like him anymore, I'm still the emperor. I have the final say on Chen Guo's affairs. The Taimiao is the cleanest and cleanest place where people are enshrined. They are all virtuous queens, your mother should enjoy the incense of the descendants of the Yan family, and move them in. If they are not worthy of worship, throw them out."

What kind of monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, those who are not worthy of virtue should get out.After hearing Yan Sui's words, Yan Zhi felt happy, and laughed too: "Uncle Huang is mighty!"

"Not only do I want to be a mighty emperor, but I also want to be a foolish king who usurps the regent." Yan Sui couldn't stand, and sat down on the ground with his back against the outer wall of the Taimiao. Looking at the starry sky, "When Jia Shi triumphs and fishes out the phoenix seal from the bottom of the Wangfu pool, I want to have a grand wedding. Even if people in the world think I am a foolish king, I will be willful once! I will make him a queen!" "

Yan Zhi sat beside Yan Sui, leaning his head on his shoulder: "Uncle Huang, anyway, we need to prepare a lot of etiquette for a big wedding, so why not arrange my wedding with Xiao Yu'er together."

"You little guy wants to get married at a young age." Yan Sui smiled and turned his head away from him, "Let's wait until you reach my age."

"That can't be done, at least I want to be like the emperor's uncle and be a father at the age of 20." Yan Zhi looked up at the sky, twinkling stars like bright eyes, and said seriously, "I really want a Home, a place where I can forget all my pain."

Under the starry sky, the two uncles and nephews stood side by side.

"Jingyun, what do you think Jiashi is doing now?"

"Uncle Huang, what do you think Xiao Yu'er is doing now?"

The two looked at each other and said in unison: "Probably they are thinking of me."
