Don't go down if you have a kind [Rebirth]

"Exactly." Wei Yanliu sighed slightly, "Sun Yang made his fortune in Liuzhou. He was originally a bandit. He followed Gaozu to pacify Nanyue and was appointed Marshal of the Army. There are many water swamps and ponds in Liuyue area, and there are many water insects. At that time, there were family crests on the sealing seal letters between various families, which were either unicorns or white tigers. At that time, Zhang Mei, the Duke of Zhenguo, wrote a letter specifically to ridicule the Sun family's bandit background. He didn't even have a family crest. He pressed it on the wax paint and said: Even if the face is painted with dragons, phoenixes and unicorns, people are still people, and they are not much better than this water bug that lives and dies, why bother to fight for this moment of prestige."

"It's a great wisdom." I couldn't help sighing.

Wei Yanliu smiled slightly: "Your Majesty is sensible, but the former Emperor Wu felt offended after hearing his words. Sun Yang learned a few good words from the advice of his staff. He lives and dies, and he prunes his feathers. The inferiority of the ministers and the vulgarity of the soldiers have only existed in the world for a hundred years, but they are willing to sharpen their blades, pour their hearts out, and die for long live peace.'”

"It turns out that 'mayfly' means this." I mused.

Wei Yanliu shook his head lightly: "That's not all. It's impossible to check whether Sun Yang is really rebellious. Sun Mi took advantage of his position to save himself, and some people from the rest of the Seventh Family. At that time, 'Mayfly' It refers to those dignitaries who are precarious in the bloody turmoil of the court, and those who are implicated in the vicissitudes of life but are unable to protect themselves. These people gathered together, thought about revenge, thought about committing trouble, and thought about In other ways, I can let go of my resentment and anger, but most of the time, because of my weak power, I just live aggrieved. Until the past few decades..."

All the Aiqings crowded in front of the screen and watched from afar, their necks stretched out one by one.

Wei Yanliu glanced at the crowd, shrinking the necks of all the adults in fright, and said with a smile: "The Hongdu mansions of all generations have assumed the responsibility of protecting such a group of people, until the last Hongdu mansion, Qi Shuyuan, was convicted and beheaded. This burden was entrusted to Wei Xizhou, the presiding judge of the case at that time, Dali Temple Minister, who was also the ancestor of Caomin. Wei Xizhou died soon after, and the secret of "Mayfly" was transferred to his best friend Jiang Xian, Mr. Jiang Lao. From the death of Wei Xizhou to the case of Jiang Fang, the crown prince, and the king of Qin in the late emperor, grievances and resentment accumulated day by day, and Mr. Jiang finally mobilized the power of "mayflies" to murder the empress dowager Jiang and the former prince and Taifu Zhang Ji. "

"open……"

"Caomin knows what His Majesty is suspicious of," he continued, "Mr. Jiang's attempt to murder his sister is probably out of resentment over the death of his best friend and grandson, the collapse of the court, and the inversion of black and white. So far, it may be said The word "mayfly" has not gone beyond its original meaning. Killing Zhang Ji and preventing him from promoting the fake Orphan of the East Palace as the king will really make "mayfly" embark on the road of no return today: Boundless, but trying to chase the waves and clear the clouds with a tiny body."

I held on to the bookshelf next to me, almost out of breath: "Then...Jiang Xian, what did King Liang do..."

"Mr. Jiang didn't object to Zhang Ji because King Liang was not the son of the Eastern Palace." Wei Yanliu kept saying that he was a grassroots man, but when he looked up at me, his eyes were neither humble nor overbearing, "At that time, Empress Dowager Jiang was still there, and the entire Jiang family followed her. , standing behind you, Your Majesty, and the power of the old East Palace is withered, not to mention that there are still twelve princes outside, if Zhang Ji makes a move, he will undoubtedly be defeated."

"So he was actually compelled by the situation to suppress Zhang Ji's actions in order to protect King Liang." I suddenly realized, "Then King Liang went to Liangzhou later, which actually conformed to the meaning of 'mayfly'. King Liang arrived in Liangzhou safely all the way. , and built tens of thousands of troops in Liangzhou in just five years, it is also because of your help..."

"Your Majesty has said it before," Wei Yanliu shook his head and sighed softly, "The role of 'we' is negligible, just trying to keep His Highness from dying on the way to his post. Your Highness subdues the Liangzhou government office and military office, and it is also due to the Beijing police sent by His Majesty. Officials, and His Highness's own intelligence and ambition. Later, when His Highness King Liang led his troops into Cangzhou and out of Xiaoguan, Mr. Jiang was already dead. The person who killed Mr. Jiang and pushed the chaos of the five kings with one hand , has become the new 'helm'."

Outside, the strong wind blows snowflakes whizzing past under the eaves, and the iron horses clang.The Book Pavilion was a little cold without a brazier, Wei Yanliu gathered his robe, and continued: "Or, one of them. Because the imperial granary was damaged later, Tao Sanyong and other military criminals were killed in prison, and even the Ping'an Camp Mutiny and the Imperial City Violence/rebellion, civil unrest in Minzhou, the rebellion of the Yue king, and even the Northern Qiang suddenly turned their faces and declared war. All kinds of secrets in it were transferred to the world. The power of a hundred years, I can't figure out its ins and outs."

"That is to say, Mr. Wei has already figured out the ins and outs of the people who killed Mr. Jiang and King Jin and stirred up the chaos of the five kings?" When I see you, Mr. Yun, I'm probably not afraid that I'll ask you more questions."

Wei Yanliu: "Your Majesty must have already guessed who this person is. Back then, Jiang Fang was planned by the King of Qin, the army was trapped in the enemy's line, and his bones were buried in Xiaoguan. Mr. Jiang probably sensed that something was wrong, and immediately used the power of 'mayfly', Send Jiang Fang's eight-year-old daughter away from the capital. The case of Jiang Fang and the prince is a major case in recent decades. Mr. Jiang is also the one who bears the burden. Miss Jiang has a special status, so we pay more attention to it. So you can figure it out.”

"Then your Wei family, are you on her side now?" I asked sincerely, "Don't hide it from me, if you just want to save the life of an 'innocent', King Liang, you have done enough, why bother with him?" Going deep into Cangzhou, lurking into Hu Qier's army, and now suffering from such injuries. Your Wei family is also one of them, isn't it? Speaking of which, Jiang Pingrong and Maolang are still brothers and sisters. On Shigeru's side, I have nothing to say."

"Your Majesty," Wei Yanliu nodded and lowered his eyebrows, "The grassroots don't know what Miss Jiang's aspirations are, but the 'mayfly' of the Wei family is a 'mayfly' who is willing to live in peace for a long time in the vicissitudes of life."

"Mr. Gao Yi." I bowed deeply to him.

Wei Yanliu received the emperor's gift, and calmly poured tea to moisten his throat under the astonished eyes of the adults.

"Wait," I called to stop him, "Mr. Wei, I have another question. Sir just said that after Jiang Fang's death, 'Mayfly' took Jiang Pingrong away, so why didn't they take away another child?"

If they were taken away together, he would not have to suffer the humiliation of the ten years of living in the Eastern Palace. He might grow up safely in a farmhouse that was not rich but loved by his parents, and he might also learn some crafts of blacksmithing and sawing wood. Or study to be a scholar, and if you have nothing to do, you will gather with your classmates and friends in a teahouse to discuss and point out this stupid king.If he didn't meet Zhen, no one would wrong him, no one would poke his heart with a sword.

Wei Yanliu said indifferently: "It didn't come in time. Originally, it was only a sense of worry that Jiang Fang was arranged to leave the capital. Unexpectedly, after Jiang Fang's death, he was soon charged with collaborating with the enemy, and his family members were immediately detained in prison. It was too difficult to take Mrs. Jiang away. In the end, the crown prince acted and replaced the child of the Jiang family with a dead baby. The crown prince asked King Yan to take the child to Yunzhou to raise him at first, but King Yan Thinking that Jiang Fang was suspected of collaborating with the enemy, he was unwilling to do such deceitful and immoral things as covering up the sinful son. In desperation, the prince left Jiang Fang's son in the East Palace, and the child that the princess would give birth to directly Throw it into Prince Yan's mansion..."

I couldn't laugh or cry: "Third brother has this temperament, that is, he is a nephew, so he can be aggrieved to 'help the tyrant' for a while. It's just a pity, that child ended up..."

"Everyone has his own destiny, so His Majesty doesn't have to think too much. He moves from place to place. With the treacherousness of the East Palace and the changeable court situation, he may not be able to look like His Royal Highness Liang Wang now."

"No matter what, I still want to thank you sir for teaching Mao Lang and saving his life." I bowed deeply again.

Wei Yanliu's eyes fell on the stone ring between my fingers, and said with a slight smile: "Your Majesty should thank yourself. If a person doesn't have such a little inexhaustible blood in his heart, it will be useless for others to pull it. With His Majesty here, His Royal Highness King Liang will not go wrong."

I was ashamed.I really didn't think about it very much, I just think that the emperor's nephew is more restrained and sensible than the ordinary princes and grandchildren who can make troubles, but I don't know how he got this temper - a five-year-old baby full of milk teeth, compared with three-year-old legs I can't grow anywhere, how did I survive in that ruined palace that eats people and doesn't spit out bones? Who can stand up as a good king in this time of national crisis?

Just because of me?Do I have that much ability?

During the silence, His Royal Highness Liang Wang, who was in charge of one side, finished his side, embraced a large handful of red plums with slanting branches and half covered with snow, and excitedly pushed the door in: "It's time for Hai, my lords, why don't you rest first, things will happen tomorrow." Reconsideration."

All the lovers who were eavesdropping pretended that nothing had happened, and sorted out the files in hand.His Royal Highness Liang said, he planted all the plum branches into the large black-glazed painting jar on one side of the screen, then went around to the back of the screen, picked up the teapot from the food table and quickly poured two cups of hot tea, each holding a cup of hot tea Walking towards Mr. Wei and me, looking back and forth between us, he smiled shyly, "Uncle, sir, what did you say about me? It looks scary."

……

He said "it's scary" in his mouth, but he didn't look scared at all in his behavior.Just now he said that he was not crooked or evil, he really blinded me.His Royal Highness King Liang is clearly a master at deceiving teachers and destroying ancestors, and committing chaos.

He didn't know what kind of psychological construction he had made for himself secretly, and he pulled out of the dilemma of "not reconciled" and "unsatisfactory", very openly carrying his roll of bedding in the cubicle, Fell into my bed——smashed my wounded starry eyes.

The heavy snow crushed the maple branches, and the room was pitch black.His Royal Highness King Liang's big head rested on the fossa of my shoulders and neck, he breathed a long breath, and seemed to have fallen asleep.

Unexpectedly, just as I reluctantly made up my mind to be a human bed for him for one night, he said: "Fourteen, I'm sleepy."

"Sleep when you're sleepy," I untied his hair crown and snorted at the top of his hair. "Why, how about I sing you a song? Tell me a story?"

He laughed out loud: "No, you, a 'monk carrying water', can talk back and forth for two or three hours, and your singing is not on the tune."

I said in surprise, "You remember all of this."

"I remember a long time ago," he raised his head slightly, raised his hand and gestured, "you were only this tall at that time. Father was not in Beijing, and Grandpa Huang took me with him when he went to the North Palace to escape the summer heat. I was disobedient and kept crying at night. , he sent someone to the palace to pick you up to be my companion, I saw that it was not easy for you to travel so far, so I barely listened to you making noise all night."

"Hey," I hit him on the head, "it's against you."

He grabbed my hand with long eyes behind his back, buried his face and let out a low breath: "Oh, but I can't bear to sleep."

I was a little excited by him: "If you continue to do this, I will be a beast."

He obediently moved to the side, turned to hold me sideways with hands and feet, and was silent for a while, then suddenly, as if talking in sleep, he said in a low voice: "Fourteen, I'm just a mortal, I can't control every household, but You are the emperor, if you are peaceful, the country will be peaceful, right?"

"You must think I'm worthless." He laughed lowly, "I'm just too afraid that if you smear your heart and gall on this broken mountain and river, you'll be gone in the end. Just like those people in the past."

"It's because I'm ignorant. I shouldn't say those words to anger you and make you feel cold. You almost won't wake up this time. I really want...but I'm afraid that I won't be able to explain to you when I go down. Uncle Fourteen, don't worry. The sky is falling, and I'm still here."
