how to be safe

When he woke up again, the person standing beside the bed was wearing a black robe covered with patterns of dark dragons. The leader and Qianru were all ironed with gold trim. Yuan Xiuru faintly saw the white hair on his sideburns. It's his father.The old king has a leopard head and eagle eyes, a high nose and shallow lips, his eyes are like lightning, and he is not angry but powerful.He whispered, "Uncle." At this moment, Yuan Xiuru saw a flash of kindness in Dongfang's eyes, but the truth was gone in a flash.

"Just wake up." Dongfang's voice was old and heavy. Yuan Xiuru remembered that he was a few years younger than his father, and now he is already past the age of destiny.In Yuan Xiuru's childhood impression, his uncle was far less kind than his father.The Dongfang brothers and sisters have very similar personalities, they are both cold and harsh, but the elder brother is more majestic, while Yuan Xiuru's mother is more paranoid and resentful.The oriental way of controlling children has always been extremely strict, even if he is as calm and sensible as Dongfang Su, he has been punished by his father a lot.In front of Yuan Xiuru, Dongfang was always respectful and strictly guarded his status as a monarch and minister.He never played with the children, and even when the family was reunited at the Queen of the East, he would just sit up and ask questions, without any intention of relaxing and having fun.The only warm impression this uncle left on Yuan Xiuru was when he was ten years old, when Dongfang returned to Beijing and gave him a small jacket made of the fur of a tiger from northern Xinjiang. This jacket has been kept by the Eastern Empress in the Hall of Softness and Mercy. Not long ago, Yuan Xiuru discovered it again from his mother's belongings.

Although they can't meet each other all year round, Yuan Xiuru is very familiar with the story of Dongfang style.

The Dongfang family originated from a small tribe in the Qihu border of northern Xinjiang, and later surrendered to the Central Plains. They served in the army for generations, from the great-grandfather to Habayashi Zhonglang, and the family moved to Shenjing.

When Dongfang was young, he was valued and promoted by Lu Zhen, the commander of Jingzhaoying, because of his high martial arts skills. Later, he was transferred to Jizhou to guard the northern border with Lu Zhen. The army retreated, and Qihu went to ten counties in northern Xinjiang.At a critical juncture, as a deputy general, Dongfang led his troops back to Mayi, regrouped, attacked Dingxiang City by night, and wiped out Qihu's army in Ehuling.Dongfang took the lead in the army, killed the Yaman Khan, avenged the general, and also made Qihu shrink back to Mobei, unable to attack on a large scale, in exchange for more than ten years of stability in northern Xinjiang.Yuanzheng Guanwen was overjoyed, and immediately appointed Dongfang as the general of chariots, the leader of Jizhou camp, the title of Marquis of Wanhu, and personally acted as a matchmaker to let him marry the daughter of benefactor Lu Zhen, who is the mother of the three Dongfangsu brothers.

Two years later, Dongfang was able to manage the army well in northern Xinjiang, repeatedly defeated foreign harassment, and was named the Duke of Huguo. At the same time, Yuan Zhengguan accepted his sister as Zhaoyi to show his supreme favor.The following year, Yuan Xiuru was registered as the crown prince when he was born, and Dongfang Zhaoyi's mother was in the middle palace because of her son. The Dongfang family has since become the most powerful family outside the five families.

In addition, there are some small rumors. For example, the Dongfang family has always believed in the five buckets of rice. The Dongfang way raises Taoist priests in the army. Every time they go to battle, they must perform divination. If they are auspicious, they will fight.There are also rumors that the Eastern style is the best at Eight Diagrams formations, and its soldiers are brave and unpredictable.Yuan Zhengguan didn't care about it at first, but after a long time he was very displeased, so he reminded him several times to pay attention to Buddhism.

Yuan Xiuru was taught by Yuan Zhengguan since he was a child, worshiping the Buddha devoutly, and bewitching people's hearts with Taoist magic tricks.But since the overthrow, Yuan Xiuru frequently saw Taoist priests in the palace, and Dongfang respected his head, Taoist Huang Guan, as the national teacher, and he was extremely confidant.Whenever Dongfang Su went to war, Taoist Huang Guan would set up an altar to pray for his return in victory.One day, Taoist Huang Guan came to the Hall of Softness and Mercy, and ordered people to cover it with talismans, and cut Yuan Xiuru's wrist to get blood.

"Su'er went to Jizhou, and he left for you." Dongfang waited here for him to wake up, as if to tell him about it.Yuan Xiuru was silent, remembering the words he said to Dongfang Su that day, relentless love and destruction, seeking to survive in death, you still don't understand... After all, there will be pain of separation once the love is extinguished, and it will disappear twice. What do you mean?

Dongfang Shi didn't stay in front of his bed for too long, turned around and inspected the furnishings in the hall, and said, "I taught everything to look like your mother when she was born, do you remember?"

"Only tidy up a little bit, and don't dare to move lightly."

Yuan Xiuru only blamed his uncle for not being affectionate to his wife and children, but mourning over his mother's death so much that he shed tears. It seems that brotherly love is deep, but that's all.He recalled Yuan Xiufu whose life and death were uncertain, and his heart was even more sad.

The next time Yuan Xiu saw his uncle was on a thunderstorm night, different from the usual solemnity in his impression, the emperor that day was wearing a very loose robe, with his hair disheveled and his legs wet, and he broke into the tender place, wet from the rain. in the hall.He pinned Yuan Xiuru firmly to the ground, and tore off the jacket a few times, only then did Yuan Xiuru realize that there was nothing else covering his body under the emperor's robe, and immediately there was a sharp pain from the impact.

"Ayao, don't go..."

Ah Yao?Yuan Xiuru remembered the name afterwards, Dongfang Yao, his mother's boudoir name.At this time, Yuan Xiuru couldn't imagine what kind of emotion his uncle had for his mother, but he realized how sad he was in a situation after Dongfang Su left.

He was regarded as an exquisite plaything by the emperor. Knowing that gold, silver, pearls and jade were not in his eyes, he found famous pianos, Duan inkstones, Hui ink, Zhuge brushes, and Chengxintang paper to decorate his study room, and even sent craftsmen to decorate his study with kingfisher feathers. Woven into a cloak, embroidered with a pair of cranes, embellished with auspicious clouds and purple air, the appearance is extremely beautiful.Yuan Xiuru never liked being flashy and gorgeous, but the emperor ordered him to wear them all the time, and he was not allowed to change them even between the beds. What kind of stuff!"

In Yuan Xiuru's eyes, the emperor's rewards were nothing but shame, and following the rewards came more cruel demands from the emperor.Taoist Huang Guan told him that Yuan Xiuru's blood dragon yang could be used as a elixir, so he ordered someone to knead Yuan Xiuru's essence liquid, and put the freshly baked longevity golden elixir into Yuan Xiuru's body. If in the body, take it out the next day.Yuan Xiuru felt extremely pained and remorseful, thinking why he didn't die in the sky prison that day, but he was relieved.

One morning, Yuan Xiuru opened his eyes and regretted why he hadn't slept to death last night. At this time, the door of the palace opened, and a servant came in to wash him. Yuan Xiuru saw his face, so he asked him where he was from. The servant said, " His humble name is Wang Fusheng, and he used to do rough work in the Hall of Softness and Mercy, so His Royal Highness has never seen him. Now His Royal Highness Kang Wang specially takes care of him to serve him."

King Kang... Dongfang Xuan?

"Kang Wang's people, why did you come to my side?"

"Your Highness said that you are lonely in the palace, and you are half an old man with a humble job, with clean hands and feet, and a stricter mouth."

Although Yuan Xiuru was not good at strategy, he grew up in the deep palace since he was a child, and he was also familiar with the world in the palace.He quickly understood what Dongfang Xuan meant. This Wang Fusheng could help him deliver news that he didn't want the emperor to know, and he could help him do things he couldn't do.

"Thank King Kang for my kindness."
