When the first emperor passed away, Si Chengli, the Prince of Dun, was under seven years old. Since Si Chengyan was recorded under the name of the empress Zhao, he was the eldest, and had the upper hand. I can only watch helplessly.

The Jian family, who was born in a small family, was fed up with appetite and wanted to listen to the government behind the curtain. However, although Si Chengyan respected him as the queen mother, he had no respect for the Jian family, so naturally he would not let him manipulate him.

Jian's plan failed, and he began to instigate a few confidantes to secretly win over the ministers, get involved with the previous court, and collude with each other, encouraging everyone to join the petition, questioning Si Chengyan's ability to govern the country.

Seeing the tricks, Si Chengyan ruthlessly dismissed several people, and became more and more disgusted with Jian Shi and Si Chengli, and ruined the only bit of blood and family relationship.

To put it bluntly, isn't it because of his good son, Si Chengli, that Jian's took all the trouble to plan?

Seeing the chaos in the harem, Si Chengyan was really impatient to see them again, so he found an excuse to enclose a large piece of fiefdom in the barren and desolate Shuzhou, and rewarded it to Si Chengli, and then gave it to a nameless dun The title of Prince drove people far away.

As for the [-] elite soldiers stationed in Shu Prefecture, they were named as protectors, but in fact they were guarding and guarding. Moreover, several generals were Si Chengyan's cronies, so Si Chengli couldn't do anything.

Si Chengli left the capital, and Jian's life was completely choked. Since then, he has become much more honest, at least not daring to jump up and down all day long.

Regarding this, Si Chengyan only commented with a sneer: "It's hard for him to be so kind-hearted."

July is hot, the weather is getting cooler, and soon it will be the annual Mid-Autumn Festival. Jane's is looking forward to the reunion between the two of them, so naturally she starts to get anxious.

Having said that, it seems that his younger brother hasn't returned to Fandu for five or six years. To be more precise, he probably hasn't even left the fief, at least on the surface.

In previous years, during festive seasons, Jian's would play tricks without exception, implying that he would summon Si Chengli back, and Si Chengyan would always scoff at him, but this year he nodded in good mood and agreed.

"In that case, let someone escort Prince Dun back to Beijing." Si Chengyan said slowly, and looked at the people with different expressions with great interest, facing the gazes that were either puzzled or unbelievable, Yun Dan said lightly: "I'm going to get married soon, as a younger brother, I should have a glass of wedding wine."

wedding? !

As soon as Si Chengyan said a word, everyone in the hall was shocked, civil and military officials looked at each other, and no one dared to speak easily.

Before his death, the late emperor remembered that Si Chengyan was young and had left behind four ministers to assist the government. Before Si Chengyan matured, it might not have been possible to completely eradicate dissidents. Life and death depend on one person's ambition. If so, display your ambition and help the world. How willful it is!

However, although Si Chengyan didn't want to be a puppet emperor and be manipulated by others, the rules that had been passed down through the dynasties of the Daqi Dynasty were that the emperor could only fully govern himself after his wedding.

In order to maintain his power and status, he married a noble son who had never met, who was not speculative, and hated each other every day. He also had to endure the exploitation of the other party's natal family, deal with temptations from all directions, and even the people next to him had to be on guard day and night. Such a life, Si Cheng Thinking about it, Yan felt sick to his stomach.

What's more, if this precedent is set, other courtiers will inevitably scramble to fill the harem with people in order to stabilize the family's status.At that time, everyone in the huge harem will form a faction, climb high and step down, just like another court.

It's true that Si Chengyan wanted to control the officials, but he didn't bother to use such a dirty method.

Therefore, even though there were ministers who had repeatedly prayed for him to enrich the harem and consolidate the country, Si Chengyan refused without hesitation.

It should be known that not long ago, Elder Wei Ge wrote a letter asking the emperor to get married as soon as possible, saying: "The sage said that he would cultivate himself, govern his family, rule the country and the world. In the year when your majesty was crowned, there were no servants or descendants in the harem. For the sake of Jiangshan Sheji, I implore Your Majesty to enrich the harem and extend the number of heirs." He also recommended several elder brothers from famous families.Needless to say, his family background, his father, brother and others are well-known figures in Fandu, and even the entire Great Qi Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, instead of agreeing, Si Chengyan became furious, scolded Wei Ge, covered his face in shame, and ran away in shame. Yan compromised.

Si Chengyan was annoyed that Wei Ge relied on the old to sell the old, deliberately ignored the Wei family for a period of time, and took the opportunity to beat other aristocrats who were about to move, completely calming their desire to control the harem in order to compete for the crown prince.

Now that the old matter was brought up again, and Si Chengyan suddenly agreed, how could everyone not be surprised?

Just when the ministers were in doubt, the always mature, calm and peaceful Madam Zhang took a step forward, bowed and asked, "Your Majesty has a successor?"

Si Chengyan smiled but said nothing, he picked up the teacup, took a sip slowly, enjoying the feeling of fullness and warmth in his limbs, and narrowed his eyes comfortably, thinking that although Old Wei Ge's words were not pleasant to listen to, I would When you're old, it's time to think about marriage...

On the day of Xiumu, Yu Wenxuan rode his beloved BMW for a run outside the city, and then led the people to the famous Yuebin Restaurant in Fandu. Sitting in a private room, I took a seat by the window and poured myself a drink while paying attention to the movement on the street.

About half an hour later, a tall, strong man with a rough face in a brown uniform came striding forward with some unknown items in his hands. With a look of struggle, he finally gritted his teeth and turned around to leave.

Yu Wenxuan ordered his attendants, "Please bring Commander Li up."

Li Duofu followed his attendants to the second floor suspiciously, and when he saw Yu Wenxuan, he was overjoyed and said, "General, why are you here?"

Li Duofu practiced martial arts since he was a child, and what he admired the most in his life was Yu Wenxuan, a true hero who galloped across the border, killed the enemy and served the country. When he was young and vigorous, he joined the military camp with his brothers desperately, hoping to use his military merits to seek an official position. half-time.

It's a pity that his brother Li Duoshou died on the battlefield, and there was no bones left. After hearing about it, the father of the family couldn't afford it, and refused to let Li Duoshou leave the capital.

Li Duofu knew that it was not easy for his father to pull his two brothers together, and he was afraid that no one would take care of him until his death. In desperation, he had no choice but to run around and use all means to get out of the military camp and transfer to the Yulin Army. , Relying on his extraordinary courage, he was promoted all the way to the position of commander.

It's just that when I dream back at midnight, I can't help but recall that life of licking blood.

Yu Wenxuan smiled lightly and said, "I've always heard that the sweet-scented osmanthus brew in Yuebin restaurant is good, so I stopped by to taste something new." He looked much younger without his armor, less majestic and indifferent, and more approachable.

Li Duofu said enviously: "The general is really good food, Lao Li, I have come back and forth from this street three times, and all the gluttons have been hooked out, but there is no money."

Yu Wenxuan sniffed the clear and strong aroma of the wine, and said, "It's not worth anything, drinking alone is boring, why not go together?"

Li Duofu didn't hold back either, "Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient to Old Li."

For a while, the two exchanged cups and chatted happily.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, each other was a bit smoky, Li Duofu lay down on the table, he didn't know what touched his mind, and began to sigh.

Yu Wenxuan said seemingly unintentionally: "What's the matter?"

Li Duofu complained drunkenly: "General, General, the villain regrets... I should have known, I should have known that this is the case in the palace, I am, even if I am beaten to death, I would not go in..."

Yu Wenxuan said with empathy: "If you encounter any trouble, you can talk to me, maybe I can help you solve it."

Li Duofu shook his head: "It's useless, then, that's the emperor..."

Yu Wenxuan's heart moved: "What's wrong with the emperor?"

Li Duofu said: "It was fine, but after being ill for a while, he changed his temperament and became more moody. Do you remember the little brother who served tea in front of the emperor? In the past, the emperor liked to drink the tea made by him the most. Now I really hate it..."

Yu Wenxuan said: "A companion is like a tiger, you just need to be more careful."

Li Duofu drank a cup of sober tea and managed to stay awake, "I also know. Although the emperor has a temper, he is not the kind of cruel and bloodthirsty master. Besides, as a courtier, he should do his best in everything. It's my turn to complain? It's just that there are too many dirty facts in the palace, if one day I accidentally run into it, I'm sure I won't be able to escape being silenced..."

Yu Wenxuan seemed to have a lot to say when he heard his words, and wanted to continue to question, but Li Duofu knew the benefits and harms, so he kept silent and continued to pour wine into his mouth.

Yu Wenxuan smiled slightly, and was not in a hurry, after all, only by setting a long line can you catch big fish.

Li Duofu murmured and sighed: "Speaking of it, it's better to be in the military camp. Back then, I drank heavily with my brothers, ate meat in big bowls, punched and kicked, made a lot of noise, and wanted to dig up each other's ancestral graves. In fact, no one will forget to go to the heart..."

After hearing this, Yu Wenxuan asked casually: "By the way, what are the other brothers in the Habayashi Army busy with? It seems that we haven't seen each other for some time."

Li Duofu said in a daze: "The emperor transferred some people to Qingzhou..."

Yu Wenxuan squeezed the wine glass: "What did you do?"

Li Duofu shook his head and said: "I don't know either, the emperor asked to keep it secret."

Yu Wenxuan frowned slowly, Qingzhou?The land in that place is barren and the people are poor, and there are many miasmas in summer and autumn. Where did Si Chengyan send people to do?

Yu Wenxuan was puzzled, seeing that Li Duofu was so drunk, he asked his attendants to help him home, and he led the horse to the mansion of General Shenwu by himself.

The night was falling, and the sky was full of stars.

The cool night wind blew away the smell of wine. Yu Wenxuan went to the study and took out a roll of Daqi sheepskin map, held a candlestick, bowed his head to carefully identify the area where Qingzhou was located, and examined it inch by inch.

Lu Jiaer hadn't seen Yu Wenxuan for a long time, and everyone in the mansion wanted to be negligent. These days, she was less relaxed and at ease. At first, she was still very angry, and reservedly waited for Yu Wenxuan to find out that she was suffering, and then took the initiative to speak out to defend and punish the gangsters. slave.

Who would have thought that Yu Wenxuan could not be seen for a few days, and if he asked again and again, everyone would only use words to perfuse him. Lu Jiaer was full of arrogance and was wiped out abruptly, and finally couldn't hold back that night, condescended, and came to find him Yu Wenxuan didn't wait for the servants to inform him, he pushed open the door, walked briskly to the desk, and complained dissatisfiedly: "General, what have you been up to lately?"

Yu Wenxuan signaled the servant who came to make amends to go out first, turned his head to look at the delicate and clean face in front of him, for some reason, he lost the throbbing and pity he used to, but was a little impatient, "You go out first."

Lu Jiaer pulled Yu Wenxuan's sleeve, shook it a few times, and said coquettishly: "No, no, you haven't chatted with me for a long time."

Yu Wenxuan shook off Lu Jiaer, raised his hand and pressed his sore forehead, "You brother, running into the man's room in the middle of the night, what are you doing?"

Lu Jiaer couldn't believe it: "You scolded me again?"

Yuwen Xuandao: "I'm just telling the truth, you really should learn etiquette seriously from Brother Tan."

"I learned from him?!" Lu Jiaer's self-esteem was thwarted, she was almost mad, and said indiscriminately, "Did you make a mistake? He is a country bumpkin from a poor country, what should I learn from him!"

Those beautiful and charming peach blossom eyes suddenly flashed in front of him, although it was a glimpse, it made people remember deeply, and compared with Lu Jiaer's ferocious and distorted facial features at this moment, he felt even more disgusting.

Just as Yu Wenxuan was about to drive Lu Jiaer out, something flashed through his mind in a blink of an eye. He grabbed Lu Jiaer's wrist and asked, "What did you just say?"

Lu Jiaer said angrily: "You like Brother Tan so much, go ask him!"

Yu Wenxuan really threw away Lu Jiaer's hand, returned to the map, and pointed to a place called Pei County above Qingzhou with his finger.

If he remembered correctly, Qingxi Village seemed to belong to Pei County.
