The light from the people is always bright 1 world-weary chapter

Changes in the palace......◎

After Chu Yan became the grand tutor for about a month, Gu Chen became more and more obedient, and he stopped playing his childish temper. Instead, Chu Yan did what he said. If Chu Yan told him to go east, he would never go west.

The queen was also stunned by such Gu Chen, and in only one month, Chu Yan raised this rebellious and spoiled child differently than before.

For this reason, that afternoon, the queen came to the East Palace, found Gu Chen who was concentrating on practicing the new technique, and said, "Chen'er, did Chu Yan bully you? Did he force you? Don't put pressure on yourself, you You don't have to work so hard at your age."

"Queen mother, master is very kind to me." Gu Chen said absent-mindedly while fiddling with the spells in his hand.

Seeing that her son was about to be "taken away" by Chu Yan, the queen sighed and said, "Then Chen'er can do whatever she wants."

"Well, thank you, Queen Mother!"

"Chen Chuyan has met the empress." Chu Yan came to check Gu Chen's homework, but he did not expect to meet the empress, but he still saluted respectfully.

"Stay flat." The queen was not angry with him at all, her words showed contempt or boredom.

"Thank you, empress." Chu Yan heard what the empress meant, wasn't it an open and aboveboard expression of his attitude towards him?So what, at worst, he resigned and returned to his hometown, but he was really reluctant to part with this obedient little prince.

"Master, Master! Look, I have learned the technique you taught me!" The little prince showed the technique to Chu Yan with a happy face.

Chu Yan said: "Well, I did learn well, so I will let His Highness take half a day of homework today, and you can go play in the afternoon."

"Really? Thank you, Master!" Gu Chen clapped his hands and said happily.

"Master lied to you?"

"No..." Gu Chen seemed to have thought of something. He was a little distracted when he said the previous sentence, and then continued excitedly, "Master, Master! My birthday is July [-], which is the day after tomorrow. Do you want to come to participate in the Chennai?" Son's birthday party?"

The child looked at Gu Chen sincerely, and Chu Yan didn't care that the queen was there, so he said, "Well, if you want me to go, I'll go."

The child immediately laughed happily, and then asked foolishly: "When is Master's birthday? Chen'er also wants to give Master a birthday party."

"You don't have to bother with the birthday party. Your birthday is August 29."

In fact, Gu Chen had previous memories, and he hated Chu Yan to the core. If it weren't for Gu Chen's current calamity body, which was only eight years old, he wouldn't have asked Chu Yan this question at all. As soon as he asked, he regretted it. He didn't say anything, but pretended to be happy like before.As for why he was so obsessed with the spells that Chu Yan taught him, it was also because he knew that he had to pretend to be an eight-year-old child. How deep is the city of an eight-year-old child?

The palace was preparing for the little prince's ninth birthday banquet, and it was like a New Year's Eve, with lights and festoons, and it was very lively.The birthday banquet was held in the front hall of the Taihuan Hall, and the banquet will only start tomorrow, but everything has been prepared today, and the invited ministers will have to serve the food and start the banquet as soon as they arrive tomorrow.

However, Chu Yan was not among the invited ministers.

On the second day, Taihuan Hall.

Gu Chen's ninth birthday banquet has already started, and Gu Chen is sitting next to the seat of honor.

Gu Chen looked left and then again, but he didn't see Chu Yan.

Didn't he say that he listened to himself and came to his birthday party today?How do you release your own pigeons?

He turned his head and said to the emperor next to him: "Father, where is my master? He promised to come to Chen'er's birthday banquet."

Children on birthdays should not cry, otherwise it will be unlucky.The emperor looked at the aggrieved little prince Gu Chen, stroked his hair, and said: "Father has already sent him an invitation card, maybe he was delayed by something, so father will send someone to invite him. "

Emperor Xuanwu turned his head to Li An, the young eunuch next to him, and said, "Go and invite Grand Master Chu here."

"Yes."

When no one was paying attention, the queen rolled her eyes and curled her lips.

The child was suddenly happy, smiled foolishly, and said, "Thank you, Father!"

Emperor Xuanwu smiled, poured himself a glass of wine, and finished it in one gulp.

"Teacher Chu Yan Chu is here!" The little eunuch at the gate of the front hall of Taihuan Hall shouted.

"Chen Chuyan, see Your Majesty." Chu Yan saluted respectfully.

"Chu Taifu Pingshen, Chu Taifu Pingshen..." the emperor said while drinking wine with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chu Yan turned around and went to the newly added seat next to him.

Some dancers from the Western Regions came up to perform, their dances were charming and moving, and they all wore veils. No one could see their faces clearly, and some ministers even laughed idiotically when they watched them.

The banquet was going on, and suddenly, a soldier from outside rushed in. Regardless of etiquette, he knelt down and said, "Report——! Your Majesty, the Xiongnu in northern Xinjiang have attacked southward in large numbers, and they have captured two of our cities. The people from the Western Regions are also helping the Huns." Attack us, Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible!"

Before Emperor Xuanwu said anything, the lead dancer among the dancers took out a few silver needles from the hairpin and threw them at Emperor Xuanwu. Emperor Xuanwu dodged in time, but only one silver needle hurt him, and he yelled : "Teacher Chu! Chu Yan! Take Chen'er away quickly! Get out of here!"

The imperial guards rushed in and fought with a group of people from the Western Regions. The nine-year-old Gu Chen was already wailing in fright. Chu Yan picked him up and ran to the East Palace. Along the way, two people from the Western Regions followed. It was resolved, but he was also stabbed.

The two fled the Taihuan Hall in a hurry, entered the East Palace, and locked the gate. It was not Chu Yan who gave it, but Gu Chen's order. He had already collapsed from fear, so he couldn't care less about other things.

The two entered the secret room of the East Palace, and after touching it for a while, Gu Chen came to his senses. After remembering his father and mother, he ordered to open the gate of the East Palace.

He sat in Chu Yan's arms, feeling uneasy in his heart - it's nothing if his birthday has not passed or passed like this, he doesn't want his family to be broken again...

The author says:

Invasion of the Western Regions in a small theater:

Momo: Come on, you two talk, I'll listen.

Emperor Xuanwu: Momo, it's fine if you don't give me a name, and what's the matter with letting this guy make a big fuss at my son's birthday party?

People from the Western Regions: Who do you say is "this guy"

Emperor Xuanwu: It is you who are talking about!

People from the Western Regions: Heh... tui!you guy...

Emperor Xuanwu: Who are you talking about? !

People from the Western Regions: I'm talking about you!

………………… (the two kept arguing)

Mo Mo (holding his forehead): Then I go? ? ? (OS: Well, I originally wanted to resolve the conflict between the two, but now it's over, let's quarrel)

15、Accidents

◎In this chapter, Gu Chen and Chu Yan... live together! ◎

The people from the Western Regions cooperated with the Xiongnu in the northern Xinjiang and sneaked into the capital of Dasheng while sending the dancer to Dasheng. Now, the palace has been surrounded by people from outside Xinjiang.

Emperor Xuanwu would never have thought that the dancer girl he bought for his son's birthday was actually a bait for people from the Western Regions... the silver needle was poisoned and he could no longer resist now, the queen had long been separated from him.He knew that the East Palace was safe until now at least, and he could never escape in that direction...

He leaned against a corner of the back hall of Taihuan Hall, took a breath, Li An hurried over, and said: "Your Majesty, the outsiders who nominally escorted the dancers from the Western Regions have surrounded the palace. No. [-] can't do it."

"Please hurry up and decide, Your Majesty..."

"What can I do now? What about the imperial guards? Won't they kill them?"

"Your Majesty, there are not many Imperial Guards left, so I'm afraid it won't work!"

"What about Dingyuanhou?"

"I've been notified. I don't know when I'll be there... The journey of thousands of miles will take at least five days..."

Dingyuan Hou is brave and good at fighting. His daughter Qingping Princess is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Although she is only seven years old, each family has their own strengths. The most important thing is that they are loyal to Emperor Xuanwu.

"Li An, go and open the secret room."

"Yes." Li An opened the secret room, "Your Majesty, please."

Emperor Xuanwu took Li An into the secret room. This secret room was built in every palace in the imperial palace. The top mechanism master in the world or the human world.

In the secret room of the Taihuan Palace, Emperor Xuanwu paced back and forth anxiously. Seeing Li An, he couldn't bear to say: "Your Majesty, why don't I go out and have a look again? Send a letter to Marquis Dingyuan?"

"Go, be careful!"

"Yes."

Li An went out from the secret room, quietly returned to the Taihuan Palace, and immediately wrote a letter with ink:

From the Marquis of Dingyuan:

Now that Dasheng Imperial City is in trouble, envoys from the Western Regions have raised their troops to rebel, foreigners have surrounded the imperial city, and the imperial guards can last for at most three days. I hope Lord Hou will come to rescue him quickly.

Li An

After writing the letter, Li An turned around and went to the back door of the apse, where there were carrier pigeons. Li An caught one, tied the letter, and let the carrier pigeon fly.

When Li An returned to the palace, he found that Emperor Xuanwu had come out of the secret room, and said: "Your Majesty, why did you come out? You are still poisoned. The imperial physician should arrive soon."

"I am also Dasheng's emperor after all, how can I run away, even if I die, I still have to protect Dasheng."

"Your Majesty, there are not many Imperial Guards left, and they can last for three days at most. The old slave has sent a letter to Marquis Dingyuan, and it should be faster. You should take care of your body first."

Emperor Xuanwu was dizzy and staggered, Li An quickly supported him, Emperor Xuanwu said: "It's okay, I'm fine, go get the imperial decree and pen and ink."

"Your Majesty, this is..." Li An asked hastily.

"I don't know how long it will be. If it is because of this poison, or because of the death in the battle, and the drafting of the edict to pass on the throne, it will not cause a struggle for the throne. I have three sons and no daughters under my knees.
