how to be safe

In the second year after Dongfang Suyuan was transferred, Dongfangxuan turned 16 years old and took over from his elder brother as Habayashi Guard, and was assigned to guard the East Palace.

When he came to visit the prince for the first time, Yuan Xiuru was about to go out, so he glanced at him casually, and said lightly, "Dongfang Xuan? You look more and more like your elder brother."

Dongfang Xuan doesn't like others saying that he is like an elder brother.But he never took his elder brother as an example like other children.

"Brother, what do you think the world should look like?"

"Huh? This is how the world looks like."

"I heard that the Jingzhao Yin's Mansion connived at the outskirts of Beijing and allowed the monks to seize the people's fields."

"It's not something we can talk about."

"Why can the children of the five surnames Cui, Huan, Xiao, Lu, and Fan enter the Imperial Academy, while we can only serve as military officers even if we have studied poetry and books?"

"Our family started in the army and has been a general for generations. The word "loyalty and bravery" is also the honor of the family."

"My elder brother's wish is to wrap His Royal Highness in horse leather?"

"To be loyal to His Majesty today, and to be loyal to the Prince in the future is our duty."

As soon as the words fell, the evening bell of Anru Temple rang again, it was Dongfang Su's night stay in the palace that day.Dongfang Xuan saw with his own eyes that his excellent elder brother was busy between the king's order and his father's order all day long, but in the end he was nothing more than a loyal minister and filial son...

Dongfang Xuan didn't want to be a loyal minister and filial son, not to be used by others, but for himself.His apostasy has always worried Dongfang Su, and not long ago he received a letter from his elder brother urging him to be cautious in the palace.

Dongfang Xuan soon realized that he was specially arranged by someone with a heart in the East Palace. Although Yuan Xiuru did not show any special favor, when he stood beside the prince wearing the silver armor and white robe left by his elder brother, Still provoked a lot of gossip.Ever since Yuan Zhengguan reprimanded him in public, the relationship between the crown prince and Dongfang Su is no longer a secret in the palace, and Dongfang Xuan has a pretty face like his elder brother, Kong Wu's physique and youthful passion, and the prying eyes expect that Ding Yuanxiu will meet He couldn't help it.

To the disappointment of many people, Dongfang Xuan failed to gain a foothold in the East Palace.Yi Yen Xiuru talked with eminent monks in the East Palace, and a monk suggested that Hezhou Mountain in the north of Shenjing should be excavated to build a giant Buddha.After the eminent monk left, Yuan Xiuru saw Dongfang Xuan's face was ugly, so he asked him why.

"His Royal Highness really wants to suggest building a mountain to cultivate Buddha?"

"Next year will be the sixtieth birthday of the father, which is also a great merit."

"I don't know how much people's power will be spent..."

Yuan Xiuru remained calm when he heard the words, Dongfang Xuan felt that the atmosphere was tense, at this time the crown prince smiled slightly, and asked the servant beside him, "As a guard of the Habayashi, how should we deal with it?"

"Stick duty twenty, sent to watch the night." The servant hurriedly leaned over and said, "It's just that it's the first time that Young Master Dongfang committed a crime, Your Highness, are you..."

"Just do it."

Dongfang Xuan didn't expect that he would be kicked out like this.It's nothing to be blamed for a stick, but night watch is the hardest job for Habayashi Wei. He can't rest all night, and being dragged up to watch the night while he is still injured is like parading the streets in the forbidden palace, which really embarrasses him .

"Why is Mr. Dongfang so embarrassed?" Yuan Xiufu, who was about the same age, teased him when he met him, "I remember that your elder brother has never made such a big mistake in the palace for many years."

"I have seen His Highness Xin Wang." Dongfang Xuan held back his anger, gritted his teeth and saluted him, "Of course I am not as cautious as my elder brother, so I will naturally be punished."

"Actually, I've also heard that it's not your fault that my brother is unreasonable," Yuan Xiufu comforted him when he saw this, "I heard that your elder brother asked him to take care of you, but I didn't expect to be so ruthless... But You have seen it too, Brother Huang is such a person, there is no one or anything that he really cares about. That day when Father scolded, he didn't say a word to defend your Dongfang family, I felt bad."

Dongfang Xuan was silent, his mind suddenly reflected Dongfang Su's voice and smile when he mentioned Yuan Xiuru to him, the Prince His Royal Highness that his elder brother said...gentle, kind, and reasonable...brother, you can really lie to yourself.

"Don't be discouraged, the East Palace won't accommodate you, just go to my king's place, your brothers are just right here." Dongfang Gu was doing Yuan Xiufu's accompanying reading, Dongfang Xuan thought that the hard work of watching the night would not last long, so he agreed.

The next period of time was as calm as water, although the scandals of Donggong rape and Yansheng came one after another, Dongfang Xuan didn't take it seriously at first.With Yuan Xiuru's self-restraint and piousness, it would definitely not be the case, not to mention that he thought that the guards who came to accuse the prince were all idiots... Why did they make false accusations?Could it be...

He went to see Yuan Xiufu, "It is absolutely impossible for His Royal Highness to be with those people... and it is absolutely impossible for him to believe in the art of aversion to victory."

"Ah Xuan, you know people, you know your face, you don't know your heart, and the emperor didn't refute anything, why are you in a hurry?" Yuan Xiufu laughed, "Don't worry, although the father is angry, he is only under confinement, and he didn't say that he will be abolished. , it will be fine after a while."

waste storage?Dongfang Xuan seemed to understand, "If the crown prince is deposed, then your Highness..."

"Shut up! Do you doubt me?" Yuan Xiufu was furious when he heard the words, "Yes, I don't want him to stay in that position, but I wouldn't use such a dirty trick."

Things didn't go as Yuan Xiufu predicted, chaos broke out in Qingzhou, the prince was sentenced to death in prison, the queen committed suicide, and finally Dongfang Xuan knew that his father and brother raised the banner of rebellion.

Treason!The pro-party should be punished!

Dongfanggu was already scared to death, Dongfangxuan was quite calm, but after much deliberation, he couldn't find a solution.At this time, Yuan Xiufu told them that only by seeking death in front of the imperial court can they have a chance of life.

Dongfang Xuanyiyan and his younger brother knelt in front of the Xuanwu Hall, touching their heads to the ground until their foreheads were bloody.He swears allegiance to the emperor. As a traitor, his relatives will not be redeemed if he dies a hundred times. He asks the emperor to deter the rebellion with his own head. If he does so, he will die without regret.

Although Yuan Zhengguan had murderous intentions, seeing this made him sympathize, and Yuan Xiu was on his side, saying that the brothers and family members should be kept in order to contain the Eastern way, so the emperor allowed them to go back to the government for custody.

Only after returning home did he find out that his frail mother was frightened and seriously ill, and died soon after. Only then did Dongfang Xuan realize that their safety was no longer in his father's and brother's mind.Life and death can only depend on themselves.

A few months later, he and his younger brother were finally sent to the camp of his father and brother by the desperate Yuanzhengguan as bargaining chips for help. Just the night before leaving the city, Yuan Xiufu brought news, "Tell Dongfang Su that Yuan Xiuru is still alive." In the dungeon."
