Teacher of the Emperor

Then he burst out laughing: "Prime Minister made a mistake, this is a sentence in Zuo Si's Sandu Fu, not An Shaofu's Jingdu Fu."
Wang Heng suddenly realized, and said to me very guilty: "Young Master An, I'm really sorry, I'm getting old, my memory is not good, and I even remember your poems and essays wrongly. apologize!"
Chen Qiyue obviously didn't intend to let me go, and said: "It's understandable that the prime minister made a mistake. After all, there are so many poems and essays in the world, and they are all good things from Luoyang. Don’t you remember what you wrote?”
I looked at him calmly.
It's not that I don't remember, it's that I forgot.As for why, Wang Heng, who was gloating over there, knew better than me.He is using a blunt knife to sharpen the cut on my body, repeatedly, the pain is not complete, like Ling Chi's pain, it hits slowly.
The wound had already lost a drop of blood.
Yu Lian slapped the table angrily, and was about to speak for me, but another person said: "Since Mr. Chen also said, there are so many poems and essays in the world, maybe my father remembers it wrong, so why not allow Shaofu An to remember it wrong?" Master Chen thinks that he is superior to others and can memorize all the poems and essays in the world clearly, why don't you tell us about it?"
I didn't expect that Wang Chenyi would save me from the siege.
Wang Heng's complexion was already ugly: "Chen Yi! Don't be rude to your elders!"
Wang Chenyi's demeanor was still graceful: "I'm just curious, since Mr. Chen is so talented, why wasn't he the one who made Luoyang paper expensive back then?"
Wang Heng shouted: "Shut up!"
For a while, the atmosphere became extremely awkward.All the ministers either looked on coldly, or dared not speak, we were stalemate, and no one came to persuade us.
At this time, the two parties were in a state of stagnation, when they suddenly heard a person barging in, shouting Long live forgiveness, that person staggered to the front, everyone saw that it was Bai Ru'an, the young minister of Dali Temple who had been late for a long time.
In the meantime, his clothes were messy, his hair crown was not straight, he staggered and knelt down on the ground, shouting: "I am guilty, I am late for the banquet, I am guilty of death, please forgive me!" Then he knelt down to Wang Heng: "Please forgive me!" The Prime Minister spared the minister this time, the minister really has a hard time!"
He is smart.
The emperor looked at Wang Heng's face and saw that he didn't intend to punish him, so he said, "What's wrong with Aiqing, please hurry up!"
The queen also said: "Since there are difficulties, everyone here is worried about being bored, but I think what Master Bai said is also interesting, why don't you let us hear it?"
Only then did Bai Ru'an stand up, wiping the sweat on his face profusely: "Your Majesty, I don't know, I'm being entangled by troublesome people! This——everyone says it's hard for an upright official to break up housework, and an inferior official is a mediocre official, and even more so." It's hard to decide! The two parties are the public who says the public is right, and the mother-in-law says that the woman is right, and it's the most unreasonable to be an official. This is good, let those troublemakers stop them from leaving! The minister is between the two sides. I have completely lost my majesty, I really can't handle this case, please the emperor—" Then he looked at Wang Heng: "And Prime Minister Wang, let me make up my mind and save my life!"
looking tired
The queen chuckled: "Master Bai is also in such a state of embarrassment, so hurry up and tell me, we all have appetites hung by you!"
Only then did Bai Ru'an wipe off his sweat again, and said, "It's just a coincidence. Two days ago, a wealthy businessman in the east city had some money at home. They went out to do business on weekdays and seldom returned home. Thinking of something I didn’t take, I rushed home to pick it up, it doesn’t matter if I don’t come back this time, it’s a bad thing, seeing my beautiful wife having sex with someone else on the bed, I was so angry for a while, I immediately took the adulterer into custody Come see the officer."
The crowd whispered.
Bai Ru'an continued: "The wife knew that the matter had been exposed, but she was afraid of hurting herself, so she insisted that the man was a thief. She broke in and did something to her. The desperate resistance was ineffective. The rich businessman also thought of his family's face, so he changed his words again. , saying that the man is a thief. This subject will be difficult to deal with. Adultery is a capital crime, and stealing is also a capital crime. ——The wife of this man's family came to the house again, saying that the woman seduced her husband. Both families were right, and no one could tell. Personal love, spare a life."
Speaking of this, everyone seemed to hear the clues. Some people lowered their heads and smiled. Wang Heng's face was ashen, and the emperor's hands were shaking. He looked at Wang Heng and the queen from time to time.The queen's face was calm.
Bai Ru'an hurriedly continued: "In the end, the adulterer's wife refused to obey him, and he refused to obey him when he was beaten to death. The minister could only deal with it impartially, and both of them were executed. This is good. The big problem came. The rich businessman only said one sentence, It completely suppressed the minister."
Wang Heng sneered: "Oh? What are you talking about?"
Bai Ru'an said: "The man asked the minister, is the death penalty to be handled according to the law? The minister said it is natural, and the man asked the minister again, is there any law that I, Damiao, can follow the usual method, and the minister said it is natural. The result He said that there was a case of this kind a few days ago, in which only the thief man was dealt with, and the woman was not touched. Naturally, the minister said it was impossible, but in the end, the unscrupulous people actually asked the people to testify, and everyone said Yes, this is good, these troublemakers are all piled up at the gate of Dali Temple, surrounded by a barrier, and the minister changed into ordinary clothes before he climbed out and begged His Majesty—and Prime Minister Wang to make decisions for the minister.”
The queen's face was a little ugly, but she forced herself to speak: "Does Lord Bai know what they are talking about?"
How calm Bai Ruan was, he immediately said: "This minister doesn't know!" After he finished speaking, he became envious again: "These unscrupulous people will find trouble randomly. I have been in Luoyang for so long, and I have never heard of any other The way to deal with it is that they are gathering a crowd to make trouble, so please ask your majesty to borrow some people to save them."
He spoke so smoothly that even I believed that he was supporting Wang Heng.
Now the atmosphere is even more dull, everyone knows that I escorted Liu Yue out of the palace that day, not to mention that Liu Yue was imprisoned in his Dali Temple, who does he know?It's just that Wang Heng didn't expect that this matter would spread outside the palace so quickly, and everyone knew that the queen had lost her virginity.
He waited for the opportunity for so many years, and lost the hearts of the people overnight, so at this time his face was extremely pale, motionless like a zombie, staring fiercely at a certain void.
The emperor was most afraid of it. He was still in the dark and didn't know about it at all. Seeing that the empress and the prime minister were both in a bad mood, he thought that something had happened, so he immediately intervened: "Everyone who celebrates a big festival, enjoy the moon." Well, what are you talking about! Come on, come on, let's continue writing poems!"
Queen Wang looked at me now, her eyes were even colder.I found this thing for her.Therefore, she was not shy at the moment, but said politely: "Today, the poem written by the prince is the best, and the queen mother will reward you."
After finishing speaking, he said to the people around him: "Go and get my best osmanthus wine."
Yunlu responded and went down, and after a while, a wine jug was brought over: "Please, Prince." After saying that, he poured wine into the glass.
There seemed to be something strange in the queen's eyes.
I got up and said: "My empress, the prince is young and not suitable for drinking. I will drink this cup for him, so I should ask my empress for a reward."
I was about to take the wine glass, but Yu Lian snatched it away suddenly: "The wine my mother gave me, how could it be cheaper, Shao Fu."
After all, drink it up. "My son thanked his mother for the reward."
Yunlu took the jug and went down, Yulian's expression changed suddenly, he stood up suddenly, took two steps forward, turned over the table with him, and fell forward.
I hurried to help him, but he fell on my chest, spurting out a mouthful of blood.
He grabbed my lapel and said intermittently: "Young Fu, it's poisonous..."
Everyone jumped up in a hurry, and someone shouted: "Doctor!"
I took his hand and held it very tightly. "It's okay, the doctor will be here soon."
However, Yulian closed his eyes and tilted his head in my arms.I exclaimed: "Yulian!"
The Imperial Physician had already been busy all night, and everyone stood outside the hall with solemn expressions. After a while, Liu Changhong, the director of the Imperial Hospital, came out and bowed to the Emperor: "Your Majesty, I am incompetent! The Crown Prince has been deeply poisoned and is unable to return to heaven." Already!"
The emperor, who had always been more incompetent, suddenly became ruthless today, and kicked hard in the imperial physician's arms: "Cure it for me! If it can't be cured, I want you to be buried with me!"
Although his last sentence was spoken by the imperial physician, he looked at the queen and said it.Queen Wang didn't move, but she also looked concerned: "Yu Lian is the crown prince, if something goes wrong—"
The emperor looked at the queen viciously: "I would like to ask, who gave that wine!"
The queen was more calm: "Although the wine is given by the concubine, the concubine is not so stupid as to poison the wine given by herself. Your Majesty said, right?"
The emperor pointed at the queen angrily: "You are bold!"
Queen Wang looked at him and said calmly: "The concubine has always been very courageous. It's just that Yu Lian is the concubine's son, how could the concubine harm him?"
There were endless arguments over there, but seeing Wang Chenyi walking towards me, I forced a smile at him.
Wang Chen recalled, "Are you very worried?"
I looked at the closed door: "My own students, I am naturally worried."
Wang Chenyi put his hand on my shoulder, and said softly: "Yanzhi, if you are not Shao Fu, would you like to be with me - together?"
My eyes were already fixed on the closed door: "Unfortunately, I am already a young master. I cannot leave this East Palace."
There was some cruelty in Wang Chenyi's eyes: "If he is dead, you will naturally be able to leave this East Palace."
I trembled, and suddenly turned my head and grabbed him by the collar: "What did you say?" My voice became harsher: "Young Master Wang is so sure, he must be the one who poisoned you!"
Wang Chenyi avoided my eyes: "I just don't want you to assist a worthless person in this East Palace... Besides, you didn't want to be the young master at first, I..."
I let him go coldly: "Is that so? Thank you so much for your help, Young Master. It's a pity that since I, An Yanzhi, have become the young master, I must be the one to the end."
Wang Chenyi's voice was pleading: "Yanzhi..."
I said coldly: "Get out!"
He let me go, smiled wryly, and took a few steps back.
In fact, I know that the one who wants to kill Yulian is not him, but the queen.I just don't understand why he would take the blame on himself.Under the light of the moonlight, his back is just like when he was a boy.It's just that Wang Chenyi at that time said goodbye to me every time, and always looked back three times when he left, but at this time, he didn't look back even once.
I looked into the crowd, and the old emperor's back was pitifully bleak.It is a misfortune for a gentleman to be reduced to this point in his life.However, with such an ending, I don't know why he was born at the wrong time, or because he was too cowardly.
I think he is facing the fact that his beloved son died tragically at this moment, and he is probably regretting that his life has been so useless.He might think that if he mustered up the courage once and fought hard, maybe the ending would not be like this.
I walked towards the crowd and knelt down in front of the emperor: "Your Majesty, the prince is seriously injured and needs to recuperate, but the noise of the crowd makes it difficult to recuperate. Your Majesty, please allow everyone to leave."
The emperor never counted what he said, but at this moment, he looked tired and waved his hands: "Go down."
All the officials knelt down in unison again, but at this moment, they heard a person slowly say: "I am not talented, there is a medicine at home, maybe it can save the prince's life."
It was Wang Chenyi who had just left who said this.At this moment, he was standing on the green brick sprinkled with silver frost, walking step by step.
As soon as the words came out, Wang Heng was shocked, and the queen glared at her even more. Wang Chenyi's face remained unchanged: "I have sent someone to pick it up, and it will be there immediately. Please, Your Majesty, don't be discouraged."
He said this to the emperor, but looked at me again.Wang Heng's face was ashen, the only difference was that it was even more ashen than when he was at the banquet, and the queen looked at me, wishing to cut me into pieces.
Tears welled up in the emperor's eyes: "So, thank you, Aiqing."
be careful on the road
Everyone has dispersed, and I stayed to take care of Yulian.Wang Chenyi's pill has already been delivered, and it is now on the case.
Yu Lian's face was pale, his lips were purple and blue, but his whole body was burning hot.He had stopped vomiting blood and was now unconscious, his brows furrowed.
I sat next to him and watched him, the moonlight shining brightly on his face.
Yulian muttered, but I didn't hear it clearly.I had no choice but to lean over and hear him calling softly, Shao Fu, Shao Fu.
I sighed, touched his hot face, and when I was about to withdraw my hand, he grabbed it tightly and said intermittently: "Young Fu's hand is cold, can you give me ice for a while..."
I lifted him up and let him lean into my arms, he rubbed against my arms like a docile kitten.All night, he was as hot as coals.
In the early morning of the next day, the imperial physician Liu Changhong came to see him again and said that the fever had subsided. He took Yulian's pulse and said, "The Wang family's medicine is really useful."
I responded, and he covered Yu Lian with a quilt, and said to me: "Your Majesty was very drunk last night and had a whole night of trouble, and I have to go and have a look. If the crown prince wakes up, I will come again."
I nodded: "Okay, thank you, Mr. Liu."
He took the medicine box and I sent him out.There was a lot of discussion outside, and the little palace ladies all avoided me when they saw me coming.
In the past two days, Wang Chenyi came here often, but never came in.I saw him and he left.After the mid-autumn festival, when the moon was half waning, when Yu Lian was in a coma, I helped him up and fed him a few mouthfuls of ginseng soup. He was lying in my arms, as obedient as a cat.
Then this good cat vomited all the things I fed him on the front of my shirt.
I held back the temper that I wanted to express, and fed again.
If repeated, my clothes can no longer be washed out.
Five days later, the poison on Yulian's body was probably cured. The emperor often came to visit him, sitting beside his bed without saying a word, and sometimes asked with concern: "Prince doctor, when will he wake up?"
Every time the imperial physician heard this, he wiped off his sweat in a hurry, and said timidly: "It will be soon, it will be soon."
On this day, I brought ginseng soup again, the emperor was still sitting there, seeing me bring Yulian's food, he said softly: "I'll feed him."
I handed it to him as promised.Seeing him help Yu Lian up carefully, he obviously has no experience at all, and spilled a lot of soup in his hand.I had no choice but to hold it for him and let him help Yu Lian up first.
When I handed him the soup bowl again, Yu Lian moved slightly and opened his eyes again.The emperor's hand shook, but I didn't follow, the delicate soup bowl fell to the ground with a bang and shattered.
Yu Lian sat up by himself, propped his head on one hand, and looked at us blankly.
The emperor jumped up from the collapse like a spring in surprise, and laughed loudly, "Yu Lian is awake?"
Yulian still had a dazed look in his eyes, staring blankly at him without any reaction.The emperor didn't pay attention, but still yelled: "Imperial physician! Imperial physician!"
Liu Changhong hurried in and knelt down: "Your Majesty."
The emperor smiled and said, "My good son is awake! Haha!" Then he went to help Liu Changhong up himself: "Go and show him!"
Liu Changhong responded, walked to Yulian's bed, and said, "I wonder if Your Highness can give me your hand to feel the pulse?"
Yulian glanced at him with some fear, retracted his hands, moved back a few steps, and curled up in the corner of the wall.
Liu Changhong was taken aback: "Your Highness?"
The emperor noticed something was wrong, and hurried over: "Yu Lian, what's wrong?"
Yulian tilted his head to look at him: "Who are you?"
In a word, it was as if a heavy gate fell down, and the whole room fell silent.The emperor's face turned pale in an instant, like a dead man. He stepped forward and said in a loud voice: "Yu Lian, I am your father, don't you even recognize your father?"
Yu Lian moved further, and he had already reached the corner of the wall. He couldn't retreat, so he could only shake his head in a daze.The emperor was shocked, grabbed his shoulder, and said sharply: "Yu Lian, I am your father!"
He turned his head sharply again, staring at Liu Changhong fiercely: "What the hell is going on!"
Liu Changhong saw Yu Lian's situation, and quickly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, forgive me, it's my incompetence! The poison was so severe that day, I'm afraid the poison has entered the brain, and now the prince has a fever for a few days, I'm afraid it's—"
Emperor Qi Sheng asked: "I'm afraid what is it?"
Liu Changhong fell on the ground: "I'm afraid my brain has been burned out, and I will be a fool in this life!"
This sentence was like thunder, and the emperor was speechless for a while. After a long time, he suddenly smiled miserably, and sat aside with a slumped expression.
Yu Lian looked like a frightened little beast, opened his eyes blankly, and suddenly burst into tears: "Young Fu, I'm afraid..."
I was taken aback.
The emperor was surprised: "Yu Lian?"
Yu Lian ignored him, but just shrank towards me, tugging at the corner of my clothes, with tears in his eyes: "Young Fu..."
I sighed, and had no choice but to hug him and pat him on the shoulder: "Yu Lian is not afraid, Shao Fu is here." He buried his head in my arms, and a small claw pinched my wrist tightly.
Everyone in the world knows that the prince is stupid now.
The next day at the court, Wang Heng led all the ministers to remonstrate that a person with a disability cannot take on the important task of the state reserve, so please Your Majesty to appoint another state reserve.
All the officials knelt together and shouted long live.
However, the most incompetent and weak emperor on weekdays suddenly sneered: "Doesn't Prime Minister Wang need just a fool to be the king? Why do you want to go back on your word after finally waiting?"
Wang Heng's face was calm: "The prince is not abandoned, and the country is unstable. Now the third prince, Yucheng, is smart and smart, and is more suitable for the state reserve."
The emperor sneered: "Prime Minister Wang has decided, when will it be my turn to decide?"
Wang Heng still didn't change his face: "Since the emperor has agreed, the minister will go to draft the imperial edict immediately."
After finishing speaking, he suddenly saw me again: "An Shaofu has outstanding talent, he is a rare talent. Now that the crown prince has been destroyed, I would like to ask the emperor to give An Shaofu another post, so as to live up to the talent."
The emperor never rejected Wang Heng's words, but at this moment, he didn't seem to understand what Wang Heng said, and said: "An Qing, Yu Lian is my most beloved son."
I took a step forward and knelt down: "Yes."
The emperor looked at me with a sad expression: "Now he is a fool, but he only knows you. I entrust Yulian to you, and I hope you can take good care of him."
I kowtowed: "I obey the order."
After coming down to court, Wang Heng came to look for me on purpose. I politely called Mr. Wang, and walked down the long steps carved with dragons side by side with him.He said a few polite words to me casually, and I answered them with a smile.
At that time, I thought it was incredible.
I never thought that one day I would be able to face Wang Heng calmly. He was standing within a foot of me. It's a pity that I don't have a sword on my waist, otherwise I wouldn't mind playing around.Ten years ago, Wang Heng and my father were about the same age. On the snowy night when I was sent away, my second senior brother Qiancheng carried me to salute. My master Bai Shaojing embraced me and asked, "Yanzhi, when will you see me?" When you see this person, you will not be moved, and you will be able to win him anytime."
When I saw the man in the fuchsia official uniform, I thought he was like an abyss. My whole family was defeated by him, and I lost both people and money. However, when I think about it again today, I am convinced by his methods. .
It was snowing heavily that night, and I vaguely saw Wang Chenyi standing behind him.I can't even see his face and body clearly, I only remember that there seems to be something wrapped around his left wrist, which looks scarlet and eye-catching in the white snow.
At this time, Wang Chenyi seemed to see us walking side by side, probably because he was afraid that the two of us would clash again, so he hurried over. I thought he was afraid that I would kill his father temporarily to take revenge, but he didn't expect him to stand in front of me and put I stand behind.
It made me a little moved.
He respectfully said: "Father is not in good health and is busy every day. He must be tired at this time. Go back and rest earlier."
Wang Heng snorted coldly: "Why did I give birth to your son!" After saying that, he walked away, and I still didn't forget to say behind him: "The road is slippery in rainy days, Prime Minister Wang, be careful on the road!"
Wang Heng said coldly: "You don't need An Shaofu to bother—"
Before he finished speaking, he was stepping on the wet leaves on the steps, and his whole body just leaned back, almost falling down.Wang Chenyi helped him in time, otherwise, if the back of his head hit the ground, the court would be regarded as one less disaster.
Wang Heng patted his body: "Even if you still recognize me as a father!"
Wang Chen recalled, "My son is not filial."
Wang Heng looked back at me and walked away with his hands behind his back.
After the mid-autumn festival, the autumn rain was slightly cold, Wang Chenyi looked back at me in the smoky rain, although there was some estrangement, but the look of concern in his expression, how can I blame him.
Wang Chenyi came over and wanted to say something, but said to him from left to right: "It's raining...it's raining heavily."
I sighed: "If you don't think the East Palace is unlucky, Mr. Wang, come and have a seat."
All the way to the East Palace.In just a few days, the East Palace became much deserted.Everyone knows that the prince is already mentally disabled, and they are afraid of being implicated if he stays with the prince, so anyone who has something to do with him hastily dragged someone to change places, and those who stay here don't treat the master sincerely. There was no shortage of vegetables, but meat and fashionable fruits were sent to the new prince.
The floor of the East Palace is so clean on weekdays, and now no one cares about the layers of fallen leaves on the bluestone bricks, but it is not lacking in beauty.
Wang Chenyi followed me, looked at Donggong Qingling all the way, avoided speaking, but said: "This place is clean, suitable for nourishing the heart?
"
"Nurture your heart?" I smiled wryly, "This kid won't torture me to death!"
Just as I was talking, a young man rushed out from the hall and rushed towards me: "Young Fu!"
I was almost staggered and fell to the ground by him, Yu Lian raised his small face to look at me, "Young Fu is back!"
I rubbed his hair and wanted to pick him up and take him back, but it was too heavy, so I had to drive him away by himself.
Wang Chenyi and I were sitting and talking, Yu Lian moved a small stool and sat beside him. He couldn't understand anyway, and lowered his head to play with his fingers, and then poked me again: "Young Fu, I want to eat pears." .”
I said, "Eat it yourself."
Yu Lian cheated: "Young Fu cut it off!"
Me: "...bring you the knife and the pear, and Shaofu will peel it for you."
Wang Chenyi looked at Yu Lian who was running to get the pears, and said: "Now, are you really willing to stay in this kind of place forever? The crown prince has long been no crown prince, and he is now a fool. If you stay here, you can only stay here." can be buried forever."
Emperor's House
I heard the words and looked at Wang Chenyi: "Oh? If it wasn't for me, how could Yu Lian be poisoned, how could he become so stupid?"
Wang Chenyi said softly: "You are blaming me."
I said, "It's not your fault. I know you didn't make the decision. You don't blame what happened ten years ago, and it's the same for what happened today. I just feel that I owe Yu Lian and want to take care of him for the rest of my life."
Wang Chenyi tried to hide the disappointment in her eyes: "Are you really going to stay in this East Palace forever?"
At this time Yulian had already taken the knife and pear, I peeled it for him, and said: "If I leave, the servants of the East Palace don't know how to abuse him, I'm afraid this good East Palace will become a cold palace sooner or later."
I peeled a pear for Yu Lian and handed it to him, but he shook his head unwillingly: "Hey, Shao Fu!"
My outstretched hand paused. "eat by yourself."
Yu Lian opened his big innocent eyes and blinked at me, water could be squeezed out of those eyes.
"Hey, Shao Fu."
I:"……"
I had to cut the pears into pieces in my hand and feed them to him one by one.
I asked Wang Chenyi: "The new crown prince has been appointed, what's the trouble?"
Wang Chenyi watched me feed Yulian, fell silent for a moment, and withdrew his attention: "The prince of Yucheng was not valued at first, but now the queen recognizes him as her son. A person who offended him was afraid that he would gain power and kill him, so he simply poisoned him, but the poison failed, and he died instead."
I was listening to him talking, but I didn't notice that I was feeding Yulian Lizi. He finally stopped holding my hand. I came back to my senses and frowned: "Dog? Let go."
Only then did Yulian spit out my fingers.
I was helpless, went to find a handkerchief to wipe my hands, and continued to feed him the rest of the pears, who knew that this kid had my finger in it again, and he still couldn't let it go.
I said, "Open your mouth."
Yulian shook his head.
I:"……"
After a stalemate for a while, I said, "If you keep it in your mouth, you can have this for lunch."
Then I was bitten.
……
I felt my IQ was underestimated.
Wang Chenyi watched from the side, her expression was not very good: "Is he like this every day?"
Me: "...Maybe the Imperial Dining Room has been severely underpaid recently, he wants to eat meat..."
Wang Chenyi said calmly: "Then I'll send someone to send some—"
I smiled: "No need. Although I am not a high-ranking official, my salary can still support him. If there are any officials who send food to the palace, if you spread the word, your royal family will not be criticized by thousands of people." Then, I He said again: "Since it's lunch time, how about you stay and eat?"
Lunch was nothing more than a few plates of vegetarian dishes, and Yu Lian moved his stool next to me and said, "You need less cooking."
I was furious about it: "Eat it yourself!"
Disliked by me, he had no choice but to bow his head and eat.
Wang Chenyi bowed his head gloomily, and said: "Why don't you be flexible? He is already a fool, and you taught him that he will be a fool all his life, why bother to spend the rest of his life here? Even if you are angry with me, you can't do that." I have lost half of my life in honor and disgrace, are you angry with me or with yourself?"
I still eat the vegetarian food in my bowl: "Yu Lian is right here, even if he doesn't understand, you still have some virtue in your mouth."
People are always like this, when they don't have to take responsibility for what they say, they are always extra presumptuous.
Wang Chen recalled: "I just don't understand, what are you planning! His royal family is on the verge of collapse now, what the royal family can give you, my royal family can give you everything, only better, there is never anything that can't be given! If you hate me, then you can take revenge on me or scold me, it's better than being stuck with me like this!"
I sighed: "Chen Yi..."
Wang Chen recalled: "If you really hate me, then kill me, why bother..."
I sighed: "I really don't hate you, but I can't do things for the Wang family, do you understand?"
His momentum became weaker: "Of course I know, I just want to see you live better... If you have political ambitions, even if you are at odds with my father, I want you to make great achievements. I know An Yan In short, it is a talented person who can assist the court in important affairs, not a young master who can only curl up in the cold palace and be forgotten by others..."
I looked up at him: "Chen Yi, in your opinion, what is a good life and what is a bad life? Is Prime Minister Wang doing well? He has power in the government and the public, and the regent is the king. Everyone is eager to cling to him, But doesn’t he worry about usurping the throne every night? Isn’t he worried that the Shu Kingdom in the west will take advantage of the chaos and send troops? So he is afraid every day and frightened every night. Seeing that the throne is in front of him, would he dare to sit? Are you right? "
Wang Chenyi was refuted by me and had nothing to say.
I said again: "But look at Yu Lian, although he is stupid, he feels at ease whenever he sees me. Apart from eating, he sits in the courtyard and watches the sun and the moon every day. Although he doesn't eat well, he is still—"
Yu Lian held a steamed bun in one hand and gnawed happily.He noticed me looking at him and said to me: "Young Fu, I can't eat any more."
Me: "...you put down a steamed bun."
Yu Lian shook his head desperately: "No! Hey, Shao Fu!"
Me: "...No."
I was talking about life well, but when he disturbed me like this, I lost my mood all of a sudden.
Wang Chen recalled: "If you insist on doing this, I won't stop you, but if one day you change your mind, I just hope you can remember that I always—"
Yu Lian interjected again: "Young Fu, you have rice grains on your face!"
Me: "...Chen Yi, tell me what you say."
Yulian looked blankly at the steamed buns in his hand, but he didn't want to put them down, so he leaned over and licked them on my lips.I was startled, and immediately poked his head away: "What are you doing?"
Yu Lian continued to look at me with that extremely innocent look: "There are rice grains on the side of Shaofu's mouth..."
Wang Chenyi put down his chopsticks and stood up: "I'll take my leave first." After saying that, I hurriedly got up to see him off, and walked him all the way to the gate of the East Palace.
I walked back to the East Palace, rolled up my sleeves and rushed back angrily. When I saw Yulian, I slapped the table: "Are you enough?"
Yu Lian sat by the table with his chin resting on his shoulders, and looked at me with a smile: "What's wrong with me?"
I can't wait to put my job on his head.
Yu Lian still had an innocent face: "What Shao Fu asked me to do, I did the same."
I suppressed my anger: "Shao Fu didn't ask you to do it, but I think you did a lot! I told you to pretend to be stupid, when did I let you pretend to be crazy?"
Yu Lian looked surprised: "Young Fu, what you said is questioning the imperial decree. The emperor said I was stupid, but you said I was not stupid. You are plotting treason."
I:"……"
Yu Lian held his chin beside him and smiled, "That's because all fools know that Young Fu looks too bad."
a piece of paper
A few days ago, there was a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, singing and dancing.Everyone talked happily with wine, enjoyed a round of bright moon, and hung all night in late autumn.
That day, Yulian sat beside me.
That day, the queen said, today, the prince's poems are the best, and the queen mother will reward you.
Everyone was still talking and laughing at Yanyan, not knowing what was going to happen.I whispered: "Yulian, the queen wants to give you poisoned wine."
Yu, who was picking up the wine glass, froze his hands: "How does Shaofu know?"
I said: "If you believe in Shaofu, then drink all of it."
Yu Lian put down the cup in his hand, and asked, "Poisoned wine?"
I said softly, "Exactly."
He didn't answer.
That day, I got up and said: "My empress, the prince is young and not suitable for drinking. I will drink this cup for him, so I should ask my empress for a reward."
Yu Lian, who was sitting beside me, stood up, took the cup from my hand, and saluted the queen from a distance. His demeanor was mature and stable, without showing any emotion.He glanced at me before drinking the poisoned wine and said nothing.
I know what he's going to say.
He wants to say, Shao Fu, I believe in you.
Later, in the sleeping hall, I saw his blood was all over his chest, and I felt cramped in my heart. I asked Liu Changhong: "Can this medicine have side effects and leave the root of the disease?"
Liu Changhong said: "No. But if the prince accidentally said something while unconscious, all previous efforts will be wasted."
I looked at Yulian's pale face: "No."
Because from beginning to end, I didn't tell him anything.However, I was slightly surprised by the calmness with which he drank that glass of wine.I just said it was poisoned wine, not that it wouldn't kill him.But he didn't even ask.
He believes me.
In this world, it is such a blessing to be trusted by one person.When he woke up at night and curled up in my arms, I said: "Yu Lian, when the poison is gone, the world will treat you as a fool, remember?"
He grabbed my wrist, I don't know if he understood: "Young Fu, then you also promise me one thing."
I whispered: "Huh?"
Yu Lian's voice lowered, as if he was dreaming: "No matter what, you don't leave."
I think, he probably didn't hear what I said, at this moment, he is still talking in his sleep.In the silent night, I looked around, only to see the empty bed facing the lonely and cold autumn night.
I hugged him tightly, as if I remembered something in the deep mountains of Guangxi that year, but those painful memories gradually blurred and dimmed under the misty moonlight.
I sighed softly: "Yu Lian..."
It was late at night when I went to the imperial hospital. I saw Liu Changhong presiding over the matter in the distance, and was slightly taken aback. He didn't see me, so I left without disturbing him.
It stands to reason that he should hate me.
When I was a teenager learning martial arts under Bai Shaojing's sect, Bai Ru'an was not there at first, so his sister Bai An'an slipped in wearing his clothes to learn with us. Cheng looked unhappy, so he took her clothes while she was taking a shower. I thought it was a small fight between the brothers, but who knew——Bai Shaojing looked at the two of us for a long time without speaking, and I thought he forgave me , Who would have thought that when he sent me back to Anjia that night, what greeted me was a meal of bamboo strips.
While beating me, my dad said, "You're young and dissolute, what a shame!"
I covered my head and howled, and then went to cover my butt. I covered where he hit, who knows
Wang Heng suddenly realized, and said to me very guilty: "Young Master An, I'm really sorry, I'm getting old, my memory is not good, and I even remember your poems and essays wrongly. apologize!"
Chen Qiyue obviously didn't intend to let me go, and said: "It's understandable that the prime minister made a mistake. After all, there are so many poems and essays in the world, and they are all good things from Luoyang. Don’t you remember what you wrote?”
I looked at him calmly.
It's not that I don't remember, it's that I forgot.As for why, Wang Heng, who was gloating over there, knew better than me.He is using a blunt knife to sharpen the cut on my body, repeatedly, the pain is not complete, like Ling Chi's pain, it hits slowly.
The wound had already lost a drop of blood.
Yu Lian slapped the table angrily, and was about to speak for me, but another person said: "Since Mr. Chen also said, there are so many poems and essays in the world, maybe my father remembers it wrong, so why not allow Shaofu An to remember it wrong?" Master Chen thinks that he is superior to others and can memorize all the poems and essays in the world clearly, why don't you tell us about it?"
I didn't expect that Wang Chenyi would save me from the siege.
Wang Heng's complexion was already ugly: "Chen Yi! Don't be rude to your elders!"
Wang Chenyi's demeanor was still graceful: "I'm just curious, since Mr. Chen is so talented, why wasn't he the one who made Luoyang paper expensive back then?"
Wang Heng shouted: "Shut up!"
For a while, the atmosphere became extremely awkward.All the ministers either looked on coldly, or dared not speak, we were stalemate, and no one came to persuade us.
At this time, the two parties were in a state of stagnation, when they suddenly heard a person barging in, shouting Long live forgiveness, that person staggered to the front, everyone saw that it was Bai Ru'an, the young minister of Dali Temple who had been late for a long time.
In the meantime, his clothes were messy, his hair crown was not straight, he staggered and knelt down on the ground, shouting: "I am guilty, I am late for the banquet, I am guilty of death, please forgive me!" Then he knelt down to Wang Heng: "Please forgive me!" The Prime Minister spared the minister this time, the minister really has a hard time!"
He is smart.
The emperor looked at Wang Heng's face and saw that he didn't intend to punish him, so he said, "What's wrong with Aiqing, please hurry up!"
The queen also said: "Since there are difficulties, everyone here is worried about being bored, but I think what Master Bai said is also interesting, why don't you let us hear it?"
Only then did Bai Ru'an stand up, wiping the sweat on his face profusely: "Your Majesty, I don't know, I'm being entangled by troublesome people! This——everyone says it's hard for an upright official to break up housework, and an inferior official is a mediocre official, and even more so." It's hard to decide! The two parties are the public who says the public is right, and the mother-in-law says that the woman is right, and it's the most unreasonable to be an official. This is good, let those troublemakers stop them from leaving! The minister is between the two sides. I have completely lost my majesty, I really can't handle this case, please the emperor—" Then he looked at Wang Heng: "And Prime Minister Wang, let me make up my mind and save my life!"
looking tired
The queen chuckled: "Master Bai is also in such a state of embarrassment, so hurry up and tell me, we all have appetites hung by you!"
Only then did Bai Ru'an wipe off his sweat again, and said, "It's just a coincidence. Two days ago, a wealthy businessman in the east city had some money at home. They went out to do business on weekdays and seldom returned home. Thinking of something I didn’t take, I rushed home to pick it up, it doesn’t matter if I don’t come back this time, it’s a bad thing, seeing my beautiful wife having sex with someone else on the bed, I was so angry for a while, I immediately took the adulterer into custody Come see the officer."
The crowd whispered.
Bai Ru'an continued: "The wife knew that the matter had been exposed, but she was afraid of hurting herself, so she insisted that the man was a thief. She broke in and did something to her. The desperate resistance was ineffective. The rich businessman also thought of his family's face, so he changed his words again. , saying that the man is a thief. This subject will be difficult to deal with. Adultery is a capital crime, and stealing is also a capital crime. ——The wife of this man's family came to the house again, saying that the woman seduced her husband. Both families were right, and no one could tell. Personal love, spare a life."
Speaking of this, everyone seemed to hear the clues. Some people lowered their heads and smiled. Wang Heng's face was ashen, and the emperor's hands were shaking. He looked at Wang Heng and the queen from time to time.The queen's face was calm.
Bai Ru'an hurriedly continued: "In the end, the adulterer's wife refused to obey him, and he refused to obey him when he was beaten to death. The minister could only deal with it impartially, and both of them were executed. This is good. The big problem came. The rich businessman only said one sentence, It completely suppressed the minister."
Wang Heng sneered: "Oh? What are you talking about?"
Bai Ru'an said: "The man asked the minister, is the death penalty to be handled according to the law? The minister said it is natural, and the man asked the minister again, is there any law that I, Damiao, can follow the usual method, and the minister said it is natural. The result He said that there was a case of this kind a few days ago, in which only the thief man was dealt with, and the woman was not touched. Naturally, the minister said it was impossible, but in the end, the unscrupulous people actually asked the people to testify, and everyone said Yes, this is good, these troublemakers are all piled up at the gate of Dali Temple, surrounded by a barrier, and the minister changed into ordinary clothes before he climbed out and begged His Majesty—and Prime Minister Wang to make decisions for the minister.”
The queen's face was a little ugly, but she forced herself to speak: "Does Lord Bai know what they are talking about?"
How calm Bai Ruan was, he immediately said: "This minister doesn't know!" After he finished speaking, he became envious again: "These unscrupulous people will find trouble randomly. I have been in Luoyang for so long, and I have never heard of any other The way to deal with it is that they are gathering a crowd to make trouble, so please ask your majesty to borrow some people to save them."
He spoke so smoothly that even I believed that he was supporting Wang Heng.
Now the atmosphere is even more dull, everyone knows that I escorted Liu Yue out of the palace that day, not to mention that Liu Yue was imprisoned in his Dali Temple, who does he know?It's just that Wang Heng didn't expect that this matter would spread outside the palace so quickly, and everyone knew that the queen had lost her virginity.
He waited for the opportunity for so many years, and lost the hearts of the people overnight, so at this time his face was extremely pale, motionless like a zombie, staring fiercely at a certain void.
The emperor was most afraid of it. He was still in the dark and didn't know about it at all. Seeing that the empress and the prime minister were both in a bad mood, he thought that something had happened, so he immediately intervened: "Everyone who celebrates a big festival, enjoy the moon." Well, what are you talking about! Come on, come on, let's continue writing poems!"
Queen Wang looked at me now, her eyes were even colder.I found this thing for her.Therefore, she was not shy at the moment, but said politely: "Today, the poem written by the prince is the best, and the queen mother will reward you."
After finishing speaking, he said to the people around him: "Go and get my best osmanthus wine."
Yunlu responded and went down, and after a while, a wine jug was brought over: "Please, Prince." After saying that, he poured wine into the glass.
There seemed to be something strange in the queen's eyes.
I got up and said: "My empress, the prince is young and not suitable for drinking. I will drink this cup for him, so I should ask my empress for a reward."
I was about to take the wine glass, but Yu Lian snatched it away suddenly: "The wine my mother gave me, how could it be cheaper, Shao Fu."
After all, drink it up. "My son thanked his mother for the reward."
Yunlu took the jug and went down, Yulian's expression changed suddenly, he stood up suddenly, took two steps forward, turned over the table with him, and fell forward.
I hurried to help him, but he fell on my chest, spurting out a mouthful of blood.
He grabbed my lapel and said intermittently: "Young Fu, it's poisonous..."
Everyone jumped up in a hurry, and someone shouted: "Doctor!"
I took his hand and held it very tightly. "It's okay, the doctor will be here soon."
However, Yulian closed his eyes and tilted his head in my arms.I exclaimed: "Yulian!"
The Imperial Physician had already been busy all night, and everyone stood outside the hall with solemn expressions. After a while, Liu Changhong, the director of the Imperial Hospital, came out and bowed to the Emperor: "Your Majesty, I am incompetent! The Crown Prince has been deeply poisoned and is unable to return to heaven." Already!"
The emperor, who had always been more incompetent, suddenly became ruthless today, and kicked hard in the imperial physician's arms: "Cure it for me! If it can't be cured, I want you to be buried with me!"
Although his last sentence was spoken by the imperial physician, he looked at the queen and said it.Queen Wang didn't move, but she also looked concerned: "Yu Lian is the crown prince, if something goes wrong—"
The emperor looked at the queen viciously: "I would like to ask, who gave that wine!"
The queen was more calm: "Although the wine is given by the concubine, the concubine is not so stupid as to poison the wine given by herself. Your Majesty said, right?"
The emperor pointed at the queen angrily: "You are bold!"
Queen Wang looked at him and said calmly: "The concubine has always been very courageous. It's just that Yu Lian is the concubine's son, how could the concubine harm him?"
There were endless arguments over there, but seeing Wang Chenyi walking towards me, I forced a smile at him.
Wang Chen recalled, "Are you very worried?"
I looked at the closed door: "My own students, I am naturally worried."
Wang Chenyi put his hand on my shoulder, and said softly: "Yanzhi, if you are not Shao Fu, would you like to be with me - together?"
My eyes were already fixed on the closed door: "Unfortunately, I am already a young master. I cannot leave this East Palace."
There was some cruelty in Wang Chenyi's eyes: "If he is dead, you will naturally be able to leave this East Palace."
I trembled, and suddenly turned my head and grabbed him by the collar: "What did you say?" My voice became harsher: "Young Master Wang is so sure, he must be the one who poisoned you!"
Wang Chenyi avoided my eyes: "I just don't want you to assist a worthless person in this East Palace... Besides, you didn't want to be the young master at first, I..."
I let him go coldly: "Is that so? Thank you so much for your help, Young Master. It's a pity that since I, An Yanzhi, have become the young master, I must be the one to the end."
Wang Chenyi's voice was pleading: "Yanzhi..."
I said coldly: "Get out!"
He let me go, smiled wryly, and took a few steps back.
In fact, I know that the one who wants to kill Yulian is not him, but the queen.I just don't understand why he would take the blame on himself.Under the light of the moonlight, his back is just like when he was a boy.It's just that Wang Chenyi at that time said goodbye to me every time, and always looked back three times when he left, but at this time, he didn't look back even once.
I looked into the crowd, and the old emperor's back was pitifully bleak.It is a misfortune for a gentleman to be reduced to this point in his life.However, with such an ending, I don't know why he was born at the wrong time, or because he was too cowardly.
I think he is facing the fact that his beloved son died tragically at this moment, and he is probably regretting that his life has been so useless.He might think that if he mustered up the courage once and fought hard, maybe the ending would not be like this.
I walked towards the crowd and knelt down in front of the emperor: "Your Majesty, the prince is seriously injured and needs to recuperate, but the noise of the crowd makes it difficult to recuperate. Your Majesty, please allow everyone to leave."
The emperor never counted what he said, but at this moment, he looked tired and waved his hands: "Go down."
All the officials knelt down in unison again, but at this moment, they heard a person slowly say: "I am not talented, there is a medicine at home, maybe it can save the prince's life."
It was Wang Chenyi who had just left who said this.At this moment, he was standing on the green brick sprinkled with silver frost, walking step by step.
As soon as the words came out, Wang Heng was shocked, and the queen glared at her even more. Wang Chenyi's face remained unchanged: "I have sent someone to pick it up, and it will be there immediately. Please, Your Majesty, don't be discouraged."
He said this to the emperor, but looked at me again.Wang Heng's face was ashen, the only difference was that it was even more ashen than when he was at the banquet, and the queen looked at me, wishing to cut me into pieces.
Tears welled up in the emperor's eyes: "So, thank you, Aiqing."
be careful on the road
Everyone has dispersed, and I stayed to take care of Yulian.Wang Chenyi's pill has already been delivered, and it is now on the case.
Yu Lian's face was pale, his lips were purple and blue, but his whole body was burning hot.He had stopped vomiting blood and was now unconscious, his brows furrowed.
I sat next to him and watched him, the moonlight shining brightly on his face.
Yulian muttered, but I didn't hear it clearly.I had no choice but to lean over and hear him calling softly, Shao Fu, Shao Fu.
I sighed, touched his hot face, and when I was about to withdraw my hand, he grabbed it tightly and said intermittently: "Young Fu's hand is cold, can you give me ice for a while..."
I lifted him up and let him lean into my arms, he rubbed against my arms like a docile kitten.All night, he was as hot as coals.
In the early morning of the next day, the imperial physician Liu Changhong came to see him again and said that the fever had subsided. He took Yulian's pulse and said, "The Wang family's medicine is really useful."
I responded, and he covered Yu Lian with a quilt, and said to me: "Your Majesty was very drunk last night and had a whole night of trouble, and I have to go and have a look. If the crown prince wakes up, I will come again."
I nodded: "Okay, thank you, Mr. Liu."
He took the medicine box and I sent him out.There was a lot of discussion outside, and the little palace ladies all avoided me when they saw me coming.
In the past two days, Wang Chenyi came here often, but never came in.I saw him and he left.After the mid-autumn festival, when the moon was half waning, when Yu Lian was in a coma, I helped him up and fed him a few mouthfuls of ginseng soup. He was lying in my arms, as obedient as a cat.
Then this good cat vomited all the things I fed him on the front of my shirt.
I held back the temper that I wanted to express, and fed again.
If repeated, my clothes can no longer be washed out.
Five days later, the poison on Yulian's body was probably cured. The emperor often came to visit him, sitting beside his bed without saying a word, and sometimes asked with concern: "Prince doctor, when will he wake up?"
Every time the imperial physician heard this, he wiped off his sweat in a hurry, and said timidly: "It will be soon, it will be soon."
On this day, I brought ginseng soup again, the emperor was still sitting there, seeing me bring Yulian's food, he said softly: "I'll feed him."
I handed it to him as promised.Seeing him help Yu Lian up carefully, he obviously has no experience at all, and spilled a lot of soup in his hand.I had no choice but to hold it for him and let him help Yu Lian up first.
When I handed him the soup bowl again, Yu Lian moved slightly and opened his eyes again.The emperor's hand shook, but I didn't follow, the delicate soup bowl fell to the ground with a bang and shattered.
Yu Lian sat up by himself, propped his head on one hand, and looked at us blankly.
The emperor jumped up from the collapse like a spring in surprise, and laughed loudly, "Yu Lian is awake?"
Yulian still had a dazed look in his eyes, staring blankly at him without any reaction.The emperor didn't pay attention, but still yelled: "Imperial physician! Imperial physician!"
Liu Changhong hurried in and knelt down: "Your Majesty."
The emperor smiled and said, "My good son is awake! Haha!" Then he went to help Liu Changhong up himself: "Go and show him!"
Liu Changhong responded, walked to Yulian's bed, and said, "I wonder if Your Highness can give me your hand to feel the pulse?"
Yulian glanced at him with some fear, retracted his hands, moved back a few steps, and curled up in the corner of the wall.
Liu Changhong was taken aback: "Your Highness?"
The emperor noticed something was wrong, and hurried over: "Yu Lian, what's wrong?"
Yulian tilted his head to look at him: "Who are you?"
In a word, it was as if a heavy gate fell down, and the whole room fell silent.The emperor's face turned pale in an instant, like a dead man. He stepped forward and said in a loud voice: "Yu Lian, I am your father, don't you even recognize your father?"
Yu Lian moved further, and he had already reached the corner of the wall. He couldn't retreat, so he could only shake his head in a daze.The emperor was shocked, grabbed his shoulder, and said sharply: "Yu Lian, I am your father!"
He turned his head sharply again, staring at Liu Changhong fiercely: "What the hell is going on!"
Liu Changhong saw Yu Lian's situation, and quickly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, forgive me, it's my incompetence! The poison was so severe that day, I'm afraid the poison has entered the brain, and now the prince has a fever for a few days, I'm afraid it's—"
Emperor Qi Sheng asked: "I'm afraid what is it?"
Liu Changhong fell on the ground: "I'm afraid my brain has been burned out, and I will be a fool in this life!"
This sentence was like thunder, and the emperor was speechless for a while. After a long time, he suddenly smiled miserably, and sat aside with a slumped expression.
Yu Lian looked like a frightened little beast, opened his eyes blankly, and suddenly burst into tears: "Young Fu, I'm afraid..."
I was taken aback.
The emperor was surprised: "Yu Lian?"
Yu Lian ignored him, but just shrank towards me, tugging at the corner of my clothes, with tears in his eyes: "Young Fu..."
I sighed, and had no choice but to hug him and pat him on the shoulder: "Yu Lian is not afraid, Shao Fu is here." He buried his head in my arms, and a small claw pinched my wrist tightly.
Everyone in the world knows that the prince is stupid now.
The next day at the court, Wang Heng led all the ministers to remonstrate that a person with a disability cannot take on the important task of the state reserve, so please Your Majesty to appoint another state reserve.
All the officials knelt together and shouted long live.
However, the most incompetent and weak emperor on weekdays suddenly sneered: "Doesn't Prime Minister Wang need just a fool to be the king? Why do you want to go back on your word after finally waiting?"
Wang Heng's face was calm: "The prince is not abandoned, and the country is unstable. Now the third prince, Yucheng, is smart and smart, and is more suitable for the state reserve."
The emperor sneered: "Prime Minister Wang has decided, when will it be my turn to decide?"
Wang Heng still didn't change his face: "Since the emperor has agreed, the minister will go to draft the imperial edict immediately."
After finishing speaking, he suddenly saw me again: "An Shaofu has outstanding talent, he is a rare talent. Now that the crown prince has been destroyed, I would like to ask the emperor to give An Shaofu another post, so as to live up to the talent."
The emperor never rejected Wang Heng's words, but at this moment, he didn't seem to understand what Wang Heng said, and said: "An Qing, Yu Lian is my most beloved son."
I took a step forward and knelt down: "Yes."
The emperor looked at me with a sad expression: "Now he is a fool, but he only knows you. I entrust Yulian to you, and I hope you can take good care of him."
I kowtowed: "I obey the order."
After coming down to court, Wang Heng came to look for me on purpose. I politely called Mr. Wang, and walked down the long steps carved with dragons side by side with him.He said a few polite words to me casually, and I answered them with a smile.
At that time, I thought it was incredible.
I never thought that one day I would be able to face Wang Heng calmly. He was standing within a foot of me. It's a pity that I don't have a sword on my waist, otherwise I wouldn't mind playing around.Ten years ago, Wang Heng and my father were about the same age. On the snowy night when I was sent away, my second senior brother Qiancheng carried me to salute. My master Bai Shaojing embraced me and asked, "Yanzhi, when will you see me?" When you see this person, you will not be moved, and you will be able to win him anytime."
When I saw the man in the fuchsia official uniform, I thought he was like an abyss. My whole family was defeated by him, and I lost both people and money. However, when I think about it again today, I am convinced by his methods. .
It was snowing heavily that night, and I vaguely saw Wang Chenyi standing behind him.I can't even see his face and body clearly, I only remember that there seems to be something wrapped around his left wrist, which looks scarlet and eye-catching in the white snow.
At this time, Wang Chenyi seemed to see us walking side by side, probably because he was afraid that the two of us would clash again, so he hurried over. I thought he was afraid that I would kill his father temporarily to take revenge, but he didn't expect him to stand in front of me and put I stand behind.
It made me a little moved.
He respectfully said: "Father is not in good health and is busy every day. He must be tired at this time. Go back and rest earlier."
Wang Heng snorted coldly: "Why did I give birth to your son!" After saying that, he walked away, and I still didn't forget to say behind him: "The road is slippery in rainy days, Prime Minister Wang, be careful on the road!"
Wang Heng said coldly: "You don't need An Shaofu to bother—"
Before he finished speaking, he was stepping on the wet leaves on the steps, and his whole body just leaned back, almost falling down.Wang Chenyi helped him in time, otherwise, if the back of his head hit the ground, the court would be regarded as one less disaster.
Wang Heng patted his body: "Even if you still recognize me as a father!"
Wang Chen recalled, "My son is not filial."
Wang Heng looked back at me and walked away with his hands behind his back.
After the mid-autumn festival, the autumn rain was slightly cold, Wang Chenyi looked back at me in the smoky rain, although there was some estrangement, but the look of concern in his expression, how can I blame him.
Wang Chenyi came over and wanted to say something, but said to him from left to right: "It's raining...it's raining heavily."
I sighed: "If you don't think the East Palace is unlucky, Mr. Wang, come and have a seat."
All the way to the East Palace.In just a few days, the East Palace became much deserted.Everyone knows that the prince is already mentally disabled, and they are afraid of being implicated if he stays with the prince, so anyone who has something to do with him hastily dragged someone to change places, and those who stay here don't treat the master sincerely. There was no shortage of vegetables, but meat and fashionable fruits were sent to the new prince.
The floor of the East Palace is so clean on weekdays, and now no one cares about the layers of fallen leaves on the bluestone bricks, but it is not lacking in beauty.
Wang Chenyi followed me, looked at Donggong Qingling all the way, avoided speaking, but said: "This place is clean, suitable for nourishing the heart?
"
"Nurture your heart?" I smiled wryly, "This kid won't torture me to death!"
Just as I was talking, a young man rushed out from the hall and rushed towards me: "Young Fu!"
I was almost staggered and fell to the ground by him, Yu Lian raised his small face to look at me, "Young Fu is back!"
I rubbed his hair and wanted to pick him up and take him back, but it was too heavy, so I had to drive him away by himself.
Wang Chenyi and I were sitting and talking, Yu Lian moved a small stool and sat beside him. He couldn't understand anyway, and lowered his head to play with his fingers, and then poked me again: "Young Fu, I want to eat pears." .”
I said, "Eat it yourself."
Yu Lian cheated: "Young Fu cut it off!"
Me: "...bring you the knife and the pear, and Shaofu will peel it for you."
Wang Chenyi looked at Yu Lian who was running to get the pears, and said: "Now, are you really willing to stay in this kind of place forever? The crown prince has long been no crown prince, and he is now a fool. If you stay here, you can only stay here." can be buried forever."
Emperor's House
I heard the words and looked at Wang Chenyi: "Oh? If it wasn't for me, how could Yu Lian be poisoned, how could he become so stupid?"
Wang Chenyi said softly: "You are blaming me."
I said, "It's not your fault. I know you didn't make the decision. You don't blame what happened ten years ago, and it's the same for what happened today. I just feel that I owe Yu Lian and want to take care of him for the rest of my life."
Wang Chenyi tried to hide the disappointment in her eyes: "Are you really going to stay in this East Palace forever?"
At this time Yulian had already taken the knife and pear, I peeled it for him, and said: "If I leave, the servants of the East Palace don't know how to abuse him, I'm afraid this good East Palace will become a cold palace sooner or later."
I peeled a pear for Yu Lian and handed it to him, but he shook his head unwillingly: "Hey, Shao Fu!"
My outstretched hand paused. "eat by yourself."
Yu Lian opened his big innocent eyes and blinked at me, water could be squeezed out of those eyes.
"Hey, Shao Fu."
I:"……"
I had to cut the pears into pieces in my hand and feed them to him one by one.
I asked Wang Chenyi: "The new crown prince has been appointed, what's the trouble?"
Wang Chenyi watched me feed Yulian, fell silent for a moment, and withdrew his attention: "The prince of Yucheng was not valued at first, but now the queen recognizes him as her son. A person who offended him was afraid that he would gain power and kill him, so he simply poisoned him, but the poison failed, and he died instead."
I was listening to him talking, but I didn't notice that I was feeding Yulian Lizi. He finally stopped holding my hand. I came back to my senses and frowned: "Dog? Let go."
Only then did Yulian spit out my fingers.
I was helpless, went to find a handkerchief to wipe my hands, and continued to feed him the rest of the pears, who knew that this kid had my finger in it again, and he still couldn't let it go.
I said, "Open your mouth."
Yulian shook his head.
I:"……"
After a stalemate for a while, I said, "If you keep it in your mouth, you can have this for lunch."
Then I was bitten.
……
I felt my IQ was underestimated.
Wang Chenyi watched from the side, her expression was not very good: "Is he like this every day?"
Me: "...Maybe the Imperial Dining Room has been severely underpaid recently, he wants to eat meat..."
Wang Chenyi said calmly: "Then I'll send someone to send some—"
I smiled: "No need. Although I am not a high-ranking official, my salary can still support him. If there are any officials who send food to the palace, if you spread the word, your royal family will not be criticized by thousands of people." Then, I He said again: "Since it's lunch time, how about you stay and eat?"
Lunch was nothing more than a few plates of vegetarian dishes, and Yu Lian moved his stool next to me and said, "You need less cooking."
I was furious about it: "Eat it yourself!"
Disliked by me, he had no choice but to bow his head and eat.
Wang Chenyi bowed his head gloomily, and said: "Why don't you be flexible? He is already a fool, and you taught him that he will be a fool all his life, why bother to spend the rest of his life here? Even if you are angry with me, you can't do that." I have lost half of my life in honor and disgrace, are you angry with me or with yourself?"
I still eat the vegetarian food in my bowl: "Yu Lian is right here, even if he doesn't understand, you still have some virtue in your mouth."
People are always like this, when they don't have to take responsibility for what they say, they are always extra presumptuous.
Wang Chen recalled: "I just don't understand, what are you planning! His royal family is on the verge of collapse now, what the royal family can give you, my royal family can give you everything, only better, there is never anything that can't be given! If you hate me, then you can take revenge on me or scold me, it's better than being stuck with me like this!"
I sighed: "Chen Yi..."
Wang Chen recalled: "If you really hate me, then kill me, why bother..."
I sighed: "I really don't hate you, but I can't do things for the Wang family, do you understand?"
His momentum became weaker: "Of course I know, I just want to see you live better... If you have political ambitions, even if you are at odds with my father, I want you to make great achievements. I know An Yan In short, it is a talented person who can assist the court in important affairs, not a young master who can only curl up in the cold palace and be forgotten by others..."
I looked up at him: "Chen Yi, in your opinion, what is a good life and what is a bad life? Is Prime Minister Wang doing well? He has power in the government and the public, and the regent is the king. Everyone is eager to cling to him, But doesn’t he worry about usurping the throne every night? Isn’t he worried that the Shu Kingdom in the west will take advantage of the chaos and send troops? So he is afraid every day and frightened every night. Seeing that the throne is in front of him, would he dare to sit? Are you right? "
Wang Chenyi was refuted by me and had nothing to say.
I said again: "But look at Yu Lian, although he is stupid, he feels at ease whenever he sees me. Apart from eating, he sits in the courtyard and watches the sun and the moon every day. Although he doesn't eat well, he is still—"
Yu Lian held a steamed bun in one hand and gnawed happily.He noticed me looking at him and said to me: "Young Fu, I can't eat any more."
Me: "...you put down a steamed bun."
Yu Lian shook his head desperately: "No! Hey, Shao Fu!"
Me: "...No."
I was talking about life well, but when he disturbed me like this, I lost my mood all of a sudden.
Wang Chen recalled: "If you insist on doing this, I won't stop you, but if one day you change your mind, I just hope you can remember that I always—"
Yu Lian interjected again: "Young Fu, you have rice grains on your face!"
Me: "...Chen Yi, tell me what you say."
Yulian looked blankly at the steamed buns in his hand, but he didn't want to put them down, so he leaned over and licked them on my lips.I was startled, and immediately poked his head away: "What are you doing?"
Yu Lian continued to look at me with that extremely innocent look: "There are rice grains on the side of Shaofu's mouth..."
Wang Chenyi put down his chopsticks and stood up: "I'll take my leave first." After saying that, I hurriedly got up to see him off, and walked him all the way to the gate of the East Palace.
I walked back to the East Palace, rolled up my sleeves and rushed back angrily. When I saw Yulian, I slapped the table: "Are you enough?"
Yu Lian sat by the table with his chin resting on his shoulders, and looked at me with a smile: "What's wrong with me?"
I can't wait to put my job on his head.
Yu Lian still had an innocent face: "What Shao Fu asked me to do, I did the same."
I suppressed my anger: "Shao Fu didn't ask you to do it, but I think you did a lot! I told you to pretend to be stupid, when did I let you pretend to be crazy?"
Yu Lian looked surprised: "Young Fu, what you said is questioning the imperial decree. The emperor said I was stupid, but you said I was not stupid. You are plotting treason."
I:"……"
Yu Lian held his chin beside him and smiled, "That's because all fools know that Young Fu looks too bad."
a piece of paper
A few days ago, there was a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, singing and dancing.Everyone talked happily with wine, enjoyed a round of bright moon, and hung all night in late autumn.
That day, Yulian sat beside me.
That day, the queen said, today, the prince's poems are the best, and the queen mother will reward you.
Everyone was still talking and laughing at Yanyan, not knowing what was going to happen.I whispered: "Yulian, the queen wants to give you poisoned wine."
Yu, who was picking up the wine glass, froze his hands: "How does Shaofu know?"
I said: "If you believe in Shaofu, then drink all of it."
Yu Lian put down the cup in his hand, and asked, "Poisoned wine?"
I said softly, "Exactly."
He didn't answer.
That day, I got up and said: "My empress, the prince is young and not suitable for drinking. I will drink this cup for him, so I should ask my empress for a reward."
Yu Lian, who was sitting beside me, stood up, took the cup from my hand, and saluted the queen from a distance. His demeanor was mature and stable, without showing any emotion.He glanced at me before drinking the poisoned wine and said nothing.
I know what he's going to say.
He wants to say, Shao Fu, I believe in you.
Later, in the sleeping hall, I saw his blood was all over his chest, and I felt cramped in my heart. I asked Liu Changhong: "Can this medicine have side effects and leave the root of the disease?"
Liu Changhong said: "No. But if the prince accidentally said something while unconscious, all previous efforts will be wasted."
I looked at Yulian's pale face: "No."
Because from beginning to end, I didn't tell him anything.However, I was slightly surprised by the calmness with which he drank that glass of wine.I just said it was poisoned wine, not that it wouldn't kill him.But he didn't even ask.
He believes me.
In this world, it is such a blessing to be trusted by one person.When he woke up at night and curled up in my arms, I said: "Yu Lian, when the poison is gone, the world will treat you as a fool, remember?"
He grabbed my wrist, I don't know if he understood: "Young Fu, then you also promise me one thing."
I whispered: "Huh?"
Yu Lian's voice lowered, as if he was dreaming: "No matter what, you don't leave."
I think, he probably didn't hear what I said, at this moment, he is still talking in his sleep.In the silent night, I looked around, only to see the empty bed facing the lonely and cold autumn night.
I hugged him tightly, as if I remembered something in the deep mountains of Guangxi that year, but those painful memories gradually blurred and dimmed under the misty moonlight.
I sighed softly: "Yu Lian..."
It was late at night when I went to the imperial hospital. I saw Liu Changhong presiding over the matter in the distance, and was slightly taken aback. He didn't see me, so I left without disturbing him.
It stands to reason that he should hate me.
When I was a teenager learning martial arts under Bai Shaojing's sect, Bai Ru'an was not there at first, so his sister Bai An'an slipped in wearing his clothes to learn with us. Cheng looked unhappy, so he took her clothes while she was taking a shower. I thought it was a small fight between the brothers, but who knew——Bai Shaojing looked at the two of us for a long time without speaking, and I thought he forgave me , Who would have thought that when he sent me back to Anjia that night, what greeted me was a meal of bamboo strips.
While beating me, my dad said, "You're young and dissolute, what a shame!"
I covered my head and howled, and then went to cover my butt. I covered where he hit, who knows
