For the emperor

Cang Tiansu was really seriously ill, and it took a month and a half of bitter soup to barely support the court.Over the past few years, he has been working hard every day, not daring to make any mistakes. Finally, he can justifiably take a vacation. He actually didn't think that he would go to Jingdi's side so early to find something boring.

My family knows my own family affairs, and the head of the Tai Hospital is right. He has worked too hard in the past few years. He sleeps between three and five. He doesn't pay much attention to his diet. It is necessary to take good care of yourself while you are young, so as to avoid the root cause of the disease.

Helplessly, Emperor Jing is really unkind. If Cang Tiansu doesn't go to court for a day, the peace talks with Qi State will be postponed for a day. General Sheng must be present, intending to take advantage of this to severely reduce the face of Qi Guo.

Cang Tiansu and Qi Guo's enmity is endless, and naturally he doesn't care about the other party's face, but if the letter of surrender is not delivered to Cang Guo for a day, something unpredictable will inevitably happen, and he has no idea.

If Qi Guo and Cang Kingdom go to war, at least Cang Tiansu will not be able to go to the battlefield again in a short time. Duan Yu has the title of princess son-in-law again. All the planning in the Northwest Army was in vain.

With this feeling in mind, Cang Tiansu cursed secretly, while attending the banquet celebrating the arrival of Qi Guolai's envoy to the imperial capital - he has been here for more than a month, and the welcome banquet is just now, and he can still present such a calm expression in the early court With a self-possessed appearance, Emperor Cang Jing really has means, at least Cang Tiansu feels that he is far from being shameless to this point.

Cang Tiansu now has great military achievements, and wears an iron prince's hat on his head. When he was sick, the emperor who had always been hostile to him even sent people down to condole with supplements and medicinal materials. When I returned to Kyoto for the first time, I was not familiar with everything. For a while, taking advantage of the gap before the banquet, there were quite a few people rushing to chat.

Cang Tiansu turned back one by one with a smile, and Duan Yu was sitting next to him, although he wasn't glaring with anger and warning, his expression was not sombre after all.

The Major General, who held countless lives in his hands, put on a very clear posture, everyone tacitly said a few words on the scene and almost left, and no one stepped forward to drink him without the slightest sense of sight.

"Relax, this is a place to drink, don't be so tense." Cang Tiansu lowered his head and straightened his clothes, with a smile on his lips.

He usually doesn't get sick, but the sudden serious illness really frightened General Duan, and he was under extremely strict supervision on weekdays, and he wasn't even allowed to leave the sick bed casually for more than a month.

Cold, hot, thirsty, hungry, happy, bored, the major general experienced the feeling of a housekeeper, doing everything by himself, except for more than an hour when he went to court, he didn't see anyone, the rest of the time Sticky in his room, wishing he could hang his trousers on his waistband and not take his eyes off for a second.

Although Duan Yu has never done trivial things of serving others since he was a child, he has always had a tendency to do bad things with good intentions, and he has done a lot of activities in the name of helping but actually making trouble, but Cang Tiansu still accepts his affection, and often Thinking, is full of softness.

Duan Yu glared at him: "Didn't you also get your illness from drinking in a drinking place?" This time, after recovering from a serious illness, Cang Tiansu's whole body was shaved twice, and he is not usually a strong and strong person At this time, it seems to be a little more pitiful and thin.

Duan Yu was originally full of heartache, and he tried to take care of him with all kinds of tenderness and comfort, but ever since Cang Tiansu told him about the plot against Liu's family, seeing that he didn't treat himself like this. Taking his body seriously, he immediately became annoyed, and his tone became a lot heavier.

Cang Tiansu was extremely insecure since he was a child, seeing him so annoyed, even though he was full of apologies, he was actually very happy in his heart, taking advantage of the emperor's arrival, all the officials returned to everyone and no one would bother him, he lightly slapped him a few times on the case Gently pulling Duan Yu's hand, he sent a bright smile full of electricity.

As Cang Tiansu got older, the expressions on his face became more and more formulaic, and there were only a few shallow expressions that changed.

The major general had never seen him look like this several times before, he was a little lost for a while, and followed the two little eunuchs to his seat in a daze, and it took him a long time to come to his senses, and then he looked at the man sitting at the top. Cang Tiansu, who had already recovered his indifferent expression, couldn't help but blush.

Emperor Cang Jing put on a big air, relying mightily on the back, more than a dozen people opened the way in front, and the two princes, one on the left and the other on the right, sat firmly in their seats, watching Cang Tianci and Cang Tianrui arrive separately Cang Tiansu sat down first, and just now he ordered the envoys of Qi State who had been drinking the northwest wind for an unknown amount of time to come in.

The emperor didn't say anything, but he really didn't like the sky to be proud of the spring breeze, so he didn't express any opinion on the obviously unruly seating arrangement of the Liu family at the Hundred Flowers Banquet.

He had just learned of the scene where all the officials in the palace were vying to please the eldest son, and since the state banquet between the two countries was unusual, it was not easy to make a fuss about the seating arrangement, but he immediately called the second and third children to his side and drove in. In the field, thinking how to lose the prestige of the eldest son.

But Emperor Jing's planning was in vain, Cang Tiansu didn't pay attention to this at all, and kept going back and forth to look over there.Qi Guo made a big deal this time, and specially sent the third prince and Wang Fuling, the most favored commander of the Habayashi Army before the imperial court, as the principal and deputy envoys to Cang Kingdom.

One is the emperor's own son, and the other is the emperor's brother-in-law. Although they are relatives in name, Qi Deng, the third prince, was not born to the empress of the middle palace. The two of them felt a little at odds.

Cang Tiansu observed carefully, when the group of people came in, Wang Fuling was only half a step behind Qi Deng, and the two of them almost walked forward side by side. Judging by Wang Fuling's expression, it was obvious that it was like this earlier. If you don't come out with anything, what you think in your heart is worth thinking about.

Cang Tiansu knew a little about Qi Deng, the third prince.He is famous for his talent, and he is the most pleasant person, but he is not very popular with Qi Guojun, and he has been suppressed very tightly for several years.

The envoy of Qi State sat down at the table, everyone tacitly agreed, after Li Quan loudly announced the opening of the banquet, all the ministers of Cang State changed cups and cups, and staggered toasts, neither showing excessive intimacy nor neglecting Qi Guolai envoy, the whole scene revealed A false enthusiasm.

"I once heard General Li say that the eldest prince of the Cang Kingdom is as beautiful as jade and can't hide his charm. When I saw him today, he is really a wonderful person who makes people feel distressed." When the atmosphere was just right, Wang Fuling had malicious intentions. Shaking the fine wine in the glass, "The demeanor of the most beautiful woman in the world in the past has never been seen. It's a pity that the official has been grieving for more than ten years. Who knows that there are still beauties in the world today. Presumably in the past The elegant demeanor of Concubine Yong of your country is nothing more than this."

Originally, there was an atmosphere of conviviality and harmony on the surface, because this sentence was almost solidified. All the ministers looked at each other instantly. Although they no longer socialized and talked, the smiles on their faces did not diminish at all. It is assumed that they did not understand this sentence. mean.

——Ambassador Qi Guo clearly said at the state-level banquet that the eldest prince looks like the deceased Concubine Yong?This is a clear slap in the face.Even if the royal family keeps secrets and ordinary people don't understand why, whoever is sitting here with status doesn't know that the eldest prince's mother, the imperial concubine bestowed by the emperor, was the No. 1 prostitute in the world before entering the palace .

First, two compatriot princes who were the most hopeful of the royal family had a violent quarrel over a woman, and then there was an emperor who even turned against the old queen to bring her into the palace.Up to now, the queen mother is still so angry that she recites scriptures in the great Buddha hall deep in the imperial city, and swears to death in front of the spiritual tablets of her ancestors that she will not meet the emperor.

What's more, later, he was promiscuous in the palace, had an affair with the guards, and the evidence was convincing, which made the emperor lose face and was executed in court.

Wasn't it just because of such a mother that even the eldest prince whose biological father was suspected was disliked by the emperor and spent eight years in Xiao Suo's cold palace?If it weren't for this ruthless person, he would have died tragically in the desolate Yulan Town when the war between the two countries was about to start.

The poisoning incident that year was well suppressed, and most courtiers did not know about it.In their view, on the eve of the eldest prince being driven to Yulan, the crimes listed by the Liu family to Cang Tiansu would not be brought up for any other prince. He committed the felony of exile for three thousand miles.The emperor really didn't care about the father-son relationship when he treated the eldest prince, even compared to treating strangers, he was three points more ruthless.

Qi Deng changed his subject with a calm smile, stopped the hand under the table, and ruthlessly pulled Wang Fuling's lapel.

Qi Guo came to ask for peace this time. Even if there is an accident in Cang Kingdom, whether the original agreement will take effect is still a matter of debate. But in the end, Qi Guo was defeated and most of the territory fell into the hands of others. He did not want to cause trouble Unexpectedly, because he is a close friend of the father, he would not obey his control at all.

Qi Deng saw that he was confident and didn't realize it, after thinking about it, he realized that this was probably what his father meant. Seeing that his father would rather trust a foreign minister than leave this job to himself, he was slightly annoyed. He also stopped his voice and stopped talking.

When Cang Tiansu heard the words, he raised his eyes and looked towards the opposite side, with a faint smile on his face, but his brows and eyes were light, without any trace of anger: "Master Wang, did you see clearly this time?"

Wang Fuling shook his head: "It's too far away, why don't the Eldest Prince come to the next official, we two can get close."

This was already too much, Emperor Cang Jing, who was drinking the soup first, paused, his eyes flashed, and his heart was already filled with murderous intent.My son, it's fine if I'm in a good mood to tease him on weekdays, when will it be his turn to point fingers at a small official from a defeated country?

Cang Tiansu stood up tall, stepped over the small square table and came forward, holding the wine glass, touched Qi Deng's, and after beckoning with a smile, raised his head and drank it down.

Unwilling to look directly at his face, Qi Deng subconsciously cast his eyes on the hand holding the cup. His slender, white fingers lightly folded together, interlaced with the white jade, as if there was a faint luster shining. Comparing the two, the top-quality white jade cup It was even slightly inferior by three points.

Qi Deng had a flash, calmed down in an instant, and also drank the contents of the cup.

Cang Tiansu watched him drink the wine, and then turned his head to look at Wang Fuling, his eyes were dark, and his expression was proud: "Master Wang, you can take a closer look at this king. You can go back and pay attention to the people who were originally stationed in the sixteen prefectures of Yanlong. Tell the soldiers."

Cang Tiansu paused for a moment, picked up the jug on Qi Deng's table and filled it up for himself: "This king has been in the border for several years, and has been in good friends with dozens of generals for a long time. There are too many, but I have never been able to meet the outstanding generals of your country, it is really a great pity in life."

As soon as this remark came out, not only Wang Fuling, but also all the envoys of Qi State present changed their faces.

Cang Tiansu confronted Qi Guo, and the first to win was Yanlong Sixteen Prefectures. This can be said to be the beginning of the nightmare of the people of Qi Guo. This time, the scars have been uncovered, and the shame of almost destroying the country and genocide, no one can take it calmly Of.

Dozens of outstanding generals in Qi State who have been on the battlefield for more than ten years can't resist a child with a yellow mouth who is underage. 50 people were killed by a mere 2 people and fled. no deposit.

Cang Tiansu stepped on the fortunes and lives of nearly tens of millions of people from the Qi Kingdom, and successfully dyed his top Dai Hualing red, and climbed from an unfavored prince to today's prince. Which Qi countryman can not hate, can not complain?

Cang Tian Su made a toast to Wang Fuling, pecked lightly to show his intention, then turned his head back to his seat and sat down, as if he didn't see the pale faces of the dozen or so people opposite him.

In fact, when he first heard the other party's provocation, not only was he not angry, he was even in a good mood.The Qi people don't have the confidence to compare their skills to their talents, they only talk about their own background, and they really lose their value.

The eldest prince of the Cang Kingdom has a mother who was a singer, that's right, although everyone in the Cang Kingdom dare not mention it in front of him, for fear of offending him, in fact, Cang Tiansu really doesn't care much.

From childhood to adulthood, in the cold palace, he saw the faces of the lowest eunuchs and maids in places where Li Mi could not see. Amidst the pointing and discussion of others, he had actually vaguely guessed this point, so when Zhang Yunsong really When he said it, even if the truth was more unbearable than what he had imagined, it was not as unacceptable and disheartened as Li Mi imagined.

When he was young, he would be so angry with Zhang Yunsong and others that he couldn't control it, not because they said his mother was a prostitute.What really made Cang Tiansu unbearable was their constant questioning of his mother's personality and character.They didn't know who was right and who was wrong back then, so why insisted that his mother was promiscuous and disobedient in the palace?

At that time, Cang Tiansu was so vaguely aware that with Cang Jinglan's consistent behavior, if there were indeed incidents back then, regardless of whether the blood of the royal family flowed in his body, his father would definitely not allow him to survive in the world. .Such a dirty story that even smells bad when you hold it, will not be spread so well.

It must not be like this, the young prince of the Cang Kingdom curled up in the corner, listening to the unbearable curses, told himself in his heart - and he could only tell himself this.

Cang Tiansu had indeed complained about his background, and his background was indeed a haze that he could not get rid of when he was growing up. At such an age that needs the affirmation of others to clarify his self-worth, once he is accidentally contaminated with There is an indescribable sense of shame that surges in my heart.

But as he grew older, his vision gradually broadened, and his spirit was no longer comparable to what it was back then.

No matter how bad Concubine Yong's behavior was, no matter how bad it was, she was the biological mother who gave him life. There is no reason in the world for children to despise the biological mother.

Cang Tiansu has many unacceptable flaws in his personality, but he has experienced too many years of not being able to get what he wants, and he values ​​human relations and family affection more than ordinary people.

What's more, today is different from the past, he is no longer the cold palace prince who can be stepped on by anyone, but has become a prince with an iron hat who is under one person and above tens of millions, and he is naturally full of confidence in speaking and doing things.

Young master, my mother is a singer and a prostitute, so what? With this experience, I can turn salty fish over. I almost pulled down the real queen when I sat on the second seat in the harem. I searched all the official and unofficial histories of the Wuji Continent, but I couldn’t find it. To a woman who can match her one ten-thousandth.Apart from Xiaoye's mother, is there any woman in the world who can live such a carefree life, such a free and easy life, such a casual way of doing things?

Young master, what’s wrong with me from a bad family background, your country of Qi has suffered under the hands of young master, and half of the country has been lost in just two years?Without my young master, how could you hold the surrender letter in such a humiliating manner today?

General Changsheng of the Cang Kingdom is actually the son of a diva and a prostitute—Master Wang, you made this statement at the state banquet between the two countries today. Have you ever thought that it would be even more embarrassing for me to be the son of a diva? , or is it more embarrassing for you to be beaten by a diva's son and flee?

Cang Tiansu felt that if someone picked up his background to talk about it in any scene, he would never be able to make himself so confident and contented as he is today.

What he said was too harsh, and it was much more comfortable to be pointed at his nose and scolded in the face than to listen to such words.

After being scrutinized by nearly a hundred officials of the Cang Kingdom, Qi Deng was so ashamed and angry that he wanted to smash his head against the pillar to death. After waiting for a long time, he finally took a look at Wang Fuling, who shrank his neck and said nothing, and said dryly, "Prince Yong is true!" He is a gentleman of sincerity and sincerity," so he skipped the matter.

Being given a soft nail by someone, Cang Tiansu didn't seem to realize it, and motioned to the maid serving by her side to prepare the dishes.It was not enough for Emperor Cang Jing to give him the title of prince as a shield from heaven, he insisted on giving him such a title, which was the same as that given by Concubine Yonggui back then.

The lesson from the past is vivid, the emperor's move is a bit of a warning, and the meaning of the word "Yong" is also worth thinking about.

With Yan Ji's birth and reputation, it is more appropriate to use the words "Ling", "Rong" and "Yi". At the beginning, the Ministry of Rites drafted the characters for the prince of the county on Cang Tiansu's head, and reported to Emperor Jing with the emphasis of "Gong" and "Li". Words that praise the ability and attitude of the recipient.

The two characters "Yong" and "Rong" are generally used by the emperor to give titles to his sons or half sons, intending to show that he is very satisfied with the other party's background. Putting them on the heads of Yan Ji and Cang Tiansu back then, the taste of irony is very ironic. concentrated.

Which of the courtiers couldn't understand the intricacies of this, on weekdays, they would consciously use the word "Elder Prince" or simply "Prince" to refer to Cang Tiansu. It was really the first time he had heard the phrase "Prince Yong".

But just listen to it, Cang Tiansu is really not in the mood to stab back, this kind of small inconvenience, compared with Cang Jingdi's three or five times a day since he returned to Beijing, it is not enough to see.

At the beginning, he didn't even think about the issue of this title, not to mention that it was only mentioned briefly at this time, and it was simply not worth mentioning.
