Tang Fengzhi Chengqian

The back garden of Qihui Hall was extremely lively today.

After Xu Zhu was on patrol, he heard the noise, and on a whim, he came to the hidden place in the back garden, squatted halfway behind the big tree in the back garden, and looked at the teenagers chasing the ball in the back garden and laughing from time to time, he couldn't help but smile .

Suddenly found that one person is missing?So he looked around, and saw that under the big tree in the back garden, a boy sitting in a wheelchair was smiling and whispering to another boy with dark skin and sweat on his forehead pointing at the chessboard from time to time.

Frowning slightly, he murmured in his heart, is that called Du Gou?Not bad, Du Ruhui really knows how to plan, send the youngest son to King Wei, and send the eldest son here?snort.

"Xu Zhu, is it fun to take a peek?" Suddenly, a hearty voice with a hint of teasing came into the air.

Xu Zhu jumped up reflexively, turned around quickly, and was stunned when he saw the person in the apricot-yellow robe squatting on the ground, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

And Cheng Qian under the big tree pointed to the situation on the chessboard arranged with black and white chess pieces and said, "That's it, Huai Liang has good footwork, and Ah Chong is flexible. If the two of them can cooperate, then our formation can be used." It's..."

Du Gou nodded, admired in his heart, looked at Cheng Qian, and said, "I'll let them practice more after I go back."

Cheng Qian chuckled, "There's no need to be in a hurry. Let them get familiar with this formation first."

Du Gou looked at Cheng Qian and saw Cheng Qian's smile was faint but confident, so he also smiled, "Father always said that His Highness is extremely intelligent and the most intelligent, I have seen it today."

Cheng Qian was taken aback, Du Ruhui?Are you the smartest?

But remembering that his father calmly counted them all into the game at this Cuju meeting... Cheng Qian shook his head and chuckled, "What am I? Master Du is very smart. Me, that is A young child!"

"Oh, Gan'er is a child who is still wet?"

Following the joking sound, Cheng Qian suddenly felt himself soaring into the air, exclaimed, and habitually felt the warm and strong breath, and the heart of the exclamation regained its stability. Then he put his arms around his neck and smiled slightly, "son I have seen my father."

A slight smile is not a bright and gorgeous smile, but it is the softest, warmest and most reassuring smile.At least that was the case for Emperor Taizong.

Something flashed across his eyes, and it was so fast that it was hard to catch, but the smile on his face was still bright, and he waved casually at the man who was kneeling on the ground and shouted long live, "Okay! Get up, everyone."

He turned his head and smiled at Chengqian, "Ganer, just now Xu Zhu said that he would help you practice their legs and feet. You must have good legs and feet when playing Cuju!"

Cheng Qian's eyes lit up, and he looked at Xu Zhu who was kneeling on the ground behind Emperor Taizong, "General Xu Zhu, I will trouble you."

Du Gou and others also looked at Xu Zhu in surprise.

If Xu Zhu helped them train, their chances of winning would be increased!

Xu Zhu's body froze, but his face was calm and solemn, he clasped his hands and said, "Your Highness is so polite!" But his heart was bitter. When did he say that he would help His Highness train? ? ?I remembered that the emperor had just signaled him to keep silent, and hid with me to peek, cough cough, peeking or something... Then, the emperor suddenly turned dark, his eyes turned cold, his body trembled, and before he had time to respond, The emperor strode out...

"By the way, Xu Zhu, why don't you take Du Gou and the others to the martial arts training ground to have fun first." Emperor Taizong turned around and smiled at Xu Zhu with Chengqian in his arms. , "Be serious, don't slack off!" Emperor Taizong continued to smile and seemed to have something to say.

Xu Zhu clasped his fists solemnly, "Yes! I obey the order!"

So Du Gou and the others, who were somewhat dazed, were dragged to the training ground by Xu Zhu... Then, that night, when Du Ruhui arrived home, he heard the miserable cry of his eldest son...

Emperor Taizong walked into the apse holding Chengqian in a good mood.

After not coming for more than a month, Emperor Taizong found out that it was still comfortable here.

Lazily holding Chengqian and half leaning on the couch by the window sill.After waving his hand to signal Li Fu and the others to leave, he picked up the cakes on the plate and fed them bit by bit.

Emperor Taizong stared at Chengqian's crooked face and ate the pastries he fed with satisfaction, feeling very happy, but when his fingers brushed Chengqian's lips intentionally or unintentionally, the instant tingling feeling made his heart feel I also felt itchy, and in order to divert my attention, I also remembered that Chengqian likes to eat cakes so much. I wonder if he ate the jade flower cake last time?Then he asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "Gan'er, did you eat the jade flower cake that the emperor gave you last time?"

Cheng Qian was taken aback, jade flower cake?He scratched his head, stuck out his tongue, a little embarrassed, "Father, that, I really want to forget..."

Emperor Taizong frowned, "You don't like it?" Maybe I should let Lao Xu try to do other things?

Cheng Qian shook his head, "No, I was in a bad mood for the past few days, and I forgot..."

Bad mood?Emperor Taizong narrowed his eyes, sat upright, hugged Chengqian even tighter, and asked softly, "But who made you unhappy?" Hmph, who doesn't have long eyes? !

Chengqian was a little awkward, seeing Emperor Taizong staring at him intently and touching his nose, he felt even more awkward, who else? ?It's not that father, you suddenly ignored your son that day...

But these words, no matter how thick-skinned Cheng Qian was, he couldn't say it out, and when he saw the pastries, he quickly said, "That...no one!! Father, I'm hungry, let's eat pastries!" Cheng Qian picked up the plate, picked up the pastry, and hurriedly stuffed it into Emperor Taizong's mouth. This action was a little too hasty, and Emperor Taizong was almost choked, so he grabbed Cheng Qian's finger and bit it lightly in retaliation. Seeing Cheng Qian's staring eyes in pain, he took the time to chew and swallow, and the corner of his mouth curled into a playful smile.

And Cheng Qian touched his bitten finger, is it an illusion?Why did he feel that his fingers felt numb when he was bitten?

But the thought was fleeting.

After chewing and swallowing the pastry, Emperor Taizong patted Chengqian on his chest, thinking about Chengqian's embarrassment and awkwardness just now, he vaguely knew something in his heart, couldn't help laughing out loud, and asked teasingly, "Qian'er is in a bad mood?" Okay, but because the emperor ignored you for a while?"

Chengqian froze.He simply put his head on Emperor Taizong's chest and said nothing.

Emperor Taizong laughed in a low voice, his voice was hearty and joyful, as if he had obtained some treasure, Cheng Qian couldn't help but feel depressed when he heard the bursts of laughter in his chest, the temperature on his face couldn't help rising, and he tightened his hatred The collar of Emperor Taizong.

"That's great... Gan'er, Father thought you didn't care..." At the end of the laugh, Emperor Taizong bowed his head and whispered in Cheng Qian's ear as if joking and feeling.

Chengqian was puzzled, what was the father talking about?Looking up into Emperor Taizong's eyes, he said inexplicably, "Father, how can Qian'er not care? You are my father!"

Emperor Taizong was stunned, as if his heart had been hit hard, then he smiled, pressed Chengqian back into his arms, slowly closed his eyes, concealing all kinds of unwillingness, contradictions, confusion and pain in his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "That is Of course, you are my son."

yes you are my son.Forever, forever, forever son...

*********

In the Lizheng Hall, Empress Changsun sat on the main seat, looked at the next eldest grandsun Wuji, with a solemn expression, "Brother, tell my sister the truth, what is the emperor thinking? Why did you let Gan'er participate in the Cuju meeting? Before, you said that no one would form a team with Gan'er, but look, Gan'er has formed a team! Moreover, the participants are..." Empress Changsun didn't go on, she just tightened her handkerchief and pursed her lips .He stared closely at Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji slowly picked up the tea bowl, his eyes fell on the ground unconsciously, remembering that when Chong'er went home yesterday and told himself that His Royal Highness King Zhongshan's team was formed, he was entangled!

Is it my own thinking error? ?

Why did the emperor make this Cuju meeting so grand?When Chong'er went home and told him about the composition of the prince's team, he slowly came to his senses.

The emperor intends to use this to understand the direction of the ministers in the court, which can be regarded as a bottom line.

Then I made a mistake in letting Chong'er join His Highness King Zhongshan's team!His Royal Highness King Zhongshan does not have the capital to participate in the battle for the heir, the son of the eldest grandson, the next head of the family, joining a team of princes who have no capital to fight for the heir is the best statement!The eldest grandson's family will not wade into these muddy waters! !

But now it seems that I am not the only one holding this idea...

Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Li Jing, Cheng Zhijie,...

So, did they all hit each other?

So, is it self-defeating?

If His Royal Highness King Zhongshan's feet are always like this, then their original purpose can be regarded as a success, but if...

Changsun Wuji subconsciously suppressed the surging desire in his heart, closed his eyes fiercely, and a gentle smile flashed in his mind, when he slowly opened his eyes, his eyes returned to calm and indifferent, and turned to look at Empress Changsun, Changsun Wuji was extremely serious ,"keep status quo!"

Empress Changsun was taken aback.What's the meaning?

"If you can't, try your best to delay it until His Highness comes of age!" Changsun Wuji added slowly in a low voice.

At least at that time, Chong'er and the others also grew up, and then...

Empress Changsun slowly came to her senses, shook her head and smiled wryly, "Brother, you know, he doesn't like Qianer..."

"I can't let him!" Changsun Wuji closed his eyes and said hoarsely, "You, me, including the emperor... who can let their own temper..."

Empress Changsun felt a pain in her heart, thinking of the shadow engraved in her heart so far, she remained silent.

**************

Back at the Liangyi Hall, he summoned Li Jing who had just returned triumphantly to the palace to meet him. Looking at Li Jing, Emperor Taizong smiled and put his hands behind his back, "I just met Ye Xu, not bad! Very energetic! Kung Fu It’s also very good! Xu Zhu kept praising her!”

Li Jing hurriedly bent down and said humbly, "Ye Xu is stubborn and stupid, the emperor Liao praised him.

Emperor Taizong waved his hand, "Okay. Li Jing, stop being humble!" Staring at Li Jing, he said meaningfully, "You have done a good job. From now on, let's just be like this."

Li Jing's heart was shocked, and then he knelt down respectfully and saluted, "I obey the order."

After Li Jing knelt down and retreated, Emperor Taizong slightly restrained the smile on his face. There seemed to be some breath left in his arms, and he couldn't help the nostalgia in his heart. Dian, when playing the piano with Gan'er, Gan'er turned to him with a soft and warm smile, and those clean and delicate eyes...

"Li Fu..."

"The servant is here."

"I ask you, if you don't want to let someone go, what will you do?"

"..."

"I asked you, why didn't you answer?" Emperor Taizong opened his eyes, staring coldly at Li Fu who was kneeling on the ground and dared not raise his head.

"Slaves can't answer." Li Fu said in a low voice.

Emperor Taizong stared at Li Fu, and asked slowly, "Why can't you answer?"

"If the servants answer, the emperor will do something wrong, so the servants can't answer." Li Fu said in a trembling voice.

"Did something wrong?" Emperor Taizong murmured in a low voice, a trace of self-mockery and disdain flashed in his eyes.The corners of his mouth curled up into a mocking smile, "What is right? What is wrong? If the world is right, then in my life, have I done fewer wrong things?! Killing brothers and sisters, usurping the throne, which one is not wrong?! "

**********

At dusk, Empress Changsun walked slowly towards Qihui Hall.Thoughtful along the way, thinking about the words with my elder brother, thinking about the last four words "I can't help him", my heart was bitter, and I remembered that my elder brother never mentioned Qingque from the beginning to the end, thinking about the one who accidentally injured Gan. However, Du He, who was a child, joined Qingque's team... and thought about what Chengqian said that day, "I will never show mercy again"...

Empress Changsun couldn't help feeling all kinds of sourness and bitterness in her heart.

Thinking slowly, pondering, calculating, and planning along the way, I unknowingly walked to Qihui Hall.

Before entering the front hall, Empress Changsun stopped, thought for a while, and instructed in a low voice, "Feng Ye, go and have a look. If the emperor is here, don't let anyone tell you."

Maple Leaf nodded knowingly.In my heart, I seem to understand the thoughts of Empress Changsun.

In fact, the bystanders know.Maple Leaf could see far more clearly than Empress Changsun.And she also believed that Eunuch Li Fu who was beside the emperor should also see clearly with herself.

It's just that you shouldn't say it yourself.You shouldn't even go see it yourself!

So, even if you see it, tell yourself you haven't seen it.I saw it clearly, and told myself that I didn’t understand it.

When she knew that the emperor was coming and was in the back garden, Empress Changsun groaned slightly, leaving the other servants behind except Feng Ye, and walked towards the back garden.

Walking to the back garden, I saw the pale yellow light at dusk shining on the man and the boy.

The man is handsome and heroic, the young man is smart and clean, the man is standing, with one hand behind his back, and the other hand is holding a white chess piece, the young man is sitting in a wheelchair, holding a black chess piece with one hand, resting his chin on the other hand, staring intently at the chessboard on the stone table .

The back garden is very quiet, it seems that the servants have all been waved away.

Empress Changsun looked at the boy and smiled slightly, thinking that she might be worrying too much.

But this thought only stayed for a short ten seconds. Ten seconds later, when Empress Changsun wanted to call out softly, she was stunned.

The man suddenly looked away from the chessboard and landed on the boy.

That look instantly reminded Empress Changsun of the eyes of that white-clothed boy staring at her many years ago, with such nostalgia and such...softness...
