Thousands of Mountains

At the beginning of Maoshi, the sky was already twilight, and the rain finally stopped after a day and a night. Yin Cen returned to the Prince's Mansion, and entered Chen Ji's bedroom without a sound, and was about to go to the inner dark room, when the person on the couch suddenly got up. , "Brother Pingshan, you are back."

Yin Cen was startled, and rushed to the bed, and found that Chen Ji was awake, and he hadn't slept at all. He brushed the broken hair around the other's ears, and said with a smile, "Why don't you sleep well when I'm not around? It's not a habit. good?"

Chen Ji also smiled, the room was dark at the moment, the window paper was slightly white, and a hazy light on the face melted away, Chen Ji asked, "What does General Lin say?"

Yin Cen took out the thin note, Chen Ji opened it in the dim light and saw it, his face was shocked, before he could speak, Yin Cen said first, "I expected someone in the court to be a ghost, but I didn't expect it to be someone in the palace. .”

In the dark, Chen Ji stared closely at Yin Cen, Yin Cen knew what was going on in his heart, so he turned pale with fright, he pulled Chen Ji closer and hugged him in his arms, and gently stroked his back with both hands.

This news is too shocking, the members of the royal family are collaborating with the enemy and treason?He didn't know if General Lin knew more detailed inside information, but judging from the fact that Lin Moyan has never defended or even opened his mouth for many years, what he wrote must be a matter of conclusive evidence, but due to various unspeakable reasons, I would rather have my family ruined than make it public.

However, Yin Cen couldn't find a reason no matter what, why did the people in the palace behave like this?

Lin Moyan refused to show it to the public. Even if Yin Cen and Chen Ji knew about this inside story, they couldn't tell anyone about it. It will be like falling into the abyss, and your body will be smashed to pieces.

After a while, Chen Ji raised his head from Yin Cen's arms and said, "No matter what, we must return the truth to the Seven Guards of Kanxi."

Yin Cen nodded slowly, if it wasn't for the truth, how could he have been hiding in this palace for several years, but, I don't know when, it seems that there is more than one reason for him to stay here, the half of his arms Unknowingly, the eldest son has become one of the personnel matters that entangle him the most.

The pink and arrogant little Zongzi in the past has now become a tall and strong boy who is half a head taller than him, but his temperament of relying on others seems to be getting heavier and heavier. Whenever there are only two people in private, Chen Ji will be with him Rubbing and leaning beside him, Yin Cen couldn't say a word of rejection to this real and naive little dog from a little milk dog when he was a child to a little wolf dog now.

But truth, all truth is accompanied by swords and swords, bloodshed.

It is as if an invisible rope is tied around the two of them, and the truth that must be pursued will tighten the rope at some point and they will die instantly.

Yin Cen originally thought it was just his own business, and he didn't want to drag Chen Ji into the water, but now the word "Gongli" made the whole matter a shackle that both of them could not escape, as if the branches of fate were destined to be entangled with each other.

Forget it, heaven|earth, Tianya Huangquan, let's go together!

In Guangming Hall, Chen Ze also stayed up all night, still lying on his side on the Arhat couch, his silky clothes hanging obliquely on the ground, and the Taoist priest Fang Shoujing who was by his side had already retreated first.

Gao Ren entered the hall, Chen Ze opened his eyes slightly, and said slowly, "He's gone?"

"Leaving, I didn't pack my luggage, and left the house immediately after receiving the order."

The corner of Chen Ze's mouth twisted into a smile, "He has been waiting for my order all night, and I am sure I will use him this time."

"Your Majesty," Gao Ren approached, softening his voice, "General Lin looks very old now."

Chen Ze was slightly taken aback, "I remember he will make Xiaozhen one year old."

Gao Ren said, "Now it looks like a big brother."

Chen Ze was silent for a while, then Gao Ren said again, "Back then in the Anning Palace, the Emperor and General Yun let Liang Taifu teach together, and often brought General Lin to accompany him..."

Chen Ze opened his eyes and interrupted, "You slave, you talk so much today."

Gao Ren groaned, and patted the corner of his mouth lightly, "This old slave is talkative," but he continued, "This slave is old. When I see the general, I can't help but think of the past. General Lin and General Yun guarded the north-south line of defense. How peaceful the world is..."

Chen Zemo remained silent, and after Gao Ren finished speaking, he seemed to think of something and asked, "The son of Yun Jianqing has entered Beijing recently?"

"Yes, the empress also hosted a banquet, and the reception of the wine is in the Chaohe Hall." Gao Ren replied.

"She will act for me. What is that child's name? Have you seen it?" Chen Ze looked at Gao Ren and continued to ask.

"Single name is a wild word, but the word is Zhi Ge, but it turns out to be a good-looking talent, a young master Pian Pian."

"Yunye, Yunzhige," Chen Ze said in his mouth, "Let him enter the palace some other day, and let me have a good look at him. I was just a prince when I was growing young, and when we played together, I joked that I would marry him in the future." As an in-law, if he is a son, I will marry the princess to him, and if he has a daughter, she must be the concubine of my emperor's son."

"The old slave also remembers that when General Lin was still unconvinced, he said why he was excluded from the in-laws. General Yun said that it was not because of your roughness. Who would dare to send his son and daughter to your house and send Lin The general was so angry..." Gao Ren said with a smile as he recalled.

Chen Ze also seemed to be remembering that scene, with a smile on his face, and then suddenly sank down, "No one would have thought that Lin Moyan was really single all his life, and after staying in the yellow sand desert for 20 years, he only left his hometown Be a hometown."

"Your Majesty," Gao Ren kowtowed and knelt down, "General Ruolin has defended Kansai this time..."

Chen Ze waved his hand, "You don't need to tell me that on the day when the enemy retreats, Lin Moyan can continue to serve as the commander-in-chief and guard the northwest, and all relatives will be pardoned in exile."

"Your Majesty is lenient." Gao Ren stood up, turned his back and wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.

"Help me undress, it's time to go to court." Chen Ze got up from the couch, opened his hands, Gao Ren hurriedly ordered someone to take the new clothes and hair crown, helped the servants put them on, and then accompanied them all the way to the Spring and Autumn Palace.

------

After the court was over, the officials walked out of the hall. Qi Yanzhi seemed to be full of thoughts, and walked slowly at the end. Zhao Lun followed beside him, and turned around the back of the Spring and Autumn Hall. On the road, only two figures were seen. Zhao Lun asked , "Teacher, are you disturbed by the Northwest Frontier Defense?"

Hearing this, Qi Yanzhi stood still, raised his head and was about to speak, when a father-in-law came from the side, waved his whisk, and said to Qi Yanzhi, "Master Qi, the empress is here to invite you."

Qi Yanzhi turned his head and looked at He Jin, "I'm sorry to ask Mrs. He to report to Empress Ming on behalf of the official. Last night, I discussed the border issue with His Majesty until late at night. The official is getting old, and he was in a trance after staying up all night. Now he needs to go home. Rest in peace, and I will plead guilty with the empress in the future."

As he was about to leave, He Jin stepped forward and stopped Qi Yan, his expression already sullen, "Back then, the old man asked for help from your empress, and his attitude was so humble and amiable, but now he monopolizes the power in the court. Have you taken it seriously? Elder Ge, don’t forget that since the day you came to beg your mother, you have already entrusted your entire family and life to yourselves!”

Qi Yanzhi pointed at He Jin, panting slightly, "You..."

"Master Qi, please?" He Jin brushed the dust forward.

Qi Yanzhi looked at Zhao Lun, hesitated, and said, "Zhi Xin, why don't you do the same."

Zhao Lun responded and walked forward together.

Inside the Qingchun Hall, Qiu Yiren was sitting upright in the main hall, with a light gauze curtain hanging in front of him, his face could not be seen clearly from the outside, only a dignified and luxurious outline could be seen.

Qi Yanzhi and Zhao Lun entered the hall with their luggage, the people in the gauze tent waved their hands, and they sat on the right side of the hall.Qiu Yiren's voice came from behind the gauze tent, "It's hard to see Elder Ge now, it's not that Eunuch He invites you again and again, Elder Ge is afraid that he will never take the initiative to see Ai's family again in this lifetime."

Hearing this, Qi Yanzhi stood up and knelt down, and Zhao Lun also fell to the ground, Qi Yanzhi said, "My lady has offended the old minister, just because I was too worried last night, I thought it would be better to see my lady another day."

"Forget it, get up, it's been so many years, it's okay not to say these face-saving words." Qiu Yiren said lightly.

Qi Yanzhi and Zhao Lun got up again and sat back.

Qiu Yiren said again, "The emperor finally used Lin Moyan again."

Qi Yanzhi said, "It's my fault. I didn't expect someone who could replace General Yan to guard Guanxi."

Qiu Yi said humanely, "Lin Moyan's heart has been broken, and this time he will go out again, it may not be as the emperor wishes."

Qi Yanzhi was silent for a moment, and said, "If Guanxi is lost, it will be a real threat to me in Daning."

Qiu Yiren stood up and walked slowly behind the curtain, "Threat? Just rely on him, Tak Hulun, a reckless man, if not..."

"Your Majesty!" Qi Yanzhi suddenly interrupted loudly, "Now that the sixteen tribes of today's mountain have all been unified, the Shule Kingdom is no longer a land of scattered sand. Your Majesty should not be underestimated!"

Qiu Yiren stopped and looked at Qi Yanzhi, "You mean Aijia was reckless?"

"Don't dare."

"What does that mean?!" Qiu Yiren asked sharply.

Zhao Lun suddenly rushed out at this time, knelt down and said to Qiu Yiren, "Your Majesty, please calm down. What the teacher means is that the Shule Kingdom invaded secretly back then, which was considered a great benefit. Now that you dare to start a war on the whole front, Your Majesty no matter what. We must also teach them a lesson, where they came from and where they will go back.”

"Qi Yanzhi, your good student is better at talking than you."

Without waiting for Qi Yanzhi to reply, Zhao Lun said again, "Thank you ma'am, the teacher was just impatient just now, so don't take it to heart, ma'am."

Qi Yanzhi glanced sideways at Zhao Lun, and Qiu Yiren said again, "Zhao Lun, the Ai family asks you, in this situation, if Lin Moyan guards the Guanxi, what will the Ai family do? If Lin Moyan can't hold the pass Xi, what about my Daning?"

Zhao Lun got up, raised his head towards the person in the hanging curtain, and said in a deep voice, "If General Lin guards Guanxi, it will be a blessing for the people and a blessing for Daning. The Shule wolf army should return to their Gobi desert. Queen The empress should also celebrate this, especially," Zhao Lun emphasized, "speaking well of General Lin in front of the emperor."

"If General Lin loses Kansai, it means that the wolf has really entered the house. To prevent Shule from continuing to attack, no matter whether he makes peace with his relatives, cede land for peace, or mobilize all the troops in the whole country to stop him, he will fight with all his strength. There is only one purpose. Under such circumstances, what will happen to General Lin, I don’t need to worry about it.”

When the words fell to the ground, Qiu Yiren pondered for a while, then let out a deep laugh, and said, "Master Zhao is easy to analyze, it seems that there is really only one way to go to the Ai family."

He said harshly again, "Take Hulun is such a reckless man, Aijia will definitely not let him live like a fool."

At this time, Qi Yanzhi said slowly again, "Your Majesty, please think twice about everything."

Qiu Yiren had already turned around and asked Zhao Lun, "Master Zhao, if you are not busy on weekdays, why don't you also teach the Pope? Lord Qi is usually busy with official duties, and at the age of the Emperor, you just need a master to guide you." He sighed softly, "Otherwise, I wouldn't be so timid in front of his father and make his father unhappy."

Zhao Lun looked at Qi Yanzhi, and saw that the teacher looked normal and hadn't answered yet. Qi Yanzhi looked at him and said, "You should just answer your heart. I'm an old man with too pedantic ideas. I haven't taught Han well all these years. The king, let the queen be sad."

Then Zhao Lun turned to Qiu Yiren, cupped his hands and kowtowed in thanks, "Thank you, Empress, for your love, I will definitely give it to you."

Qiu Yiren asked, "How does the Emperor treat the Crown Prince in the court today?"

Qi Yanzhi said, "It's the same as usual, state affairs are discussed, and the prince has one or two suggestions that are adopted by the emperor."

Qiu Yiren snorted coldly, "That's normal? A Lin Moyan made the emperor feel that the crown prince understood his heart, and I'm afraid he will be more fond of him in the future."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Zhao Lun again. Even through the heavy curtain, Zhao Lun felt the fierceness and urgency in that glance, floating on the water like duckweed, so he said, "Prince It's been a long time, and now it's showing signs of rising, but it's still early, and everything is still too late."

Qiu Yiren suddenly burst out laughing, "It's a good time, Mr. Zhao, just as you said, in time."

……

When the two left the Qingchun Hall, Zhao Lun walked behind Qi Yanzhi as usual, and when they left the palace gate, Qi Yanzhi stood still and said, "Let's go back to the mansion early today."

Zhao Lun was taken aback, and asked, "Teacher, don't you need to go to the mansion to transcribe today, and discuss politics with the teacher?"

"No need," Qi Yanzhi waved his hand, "I'm tired, go home and rest."

Zhao Lun bowed his hands as he said, and bid farewell to Qi Yanzhi. Qi Yan got into the carriage, raised the curtains before leaving, and said to Zhao Lun who was standing beside the carriage, "Stop thinking, so I can do it myself."

Zhao Lun raised his head suddenly, the driver of the carriage gave a sound, and the wheels rolled forward.
