"Elder-in-law" migraine

It has been 22 years since Emperor Jingyan established the Zheng'an Dynasty. All wastes have been prospered, the weather is good, the country is stable, and the people live happily.Unexpectedly, in just 20 years, Gong Xibang, who was the founding hero of the country, would actually lead the rebellion.The southern army was powerful and surrounded the imperial palace and closed the gates of the central capital. They sent teams to patrol the central capital every day. The mansions of the officials in the central capital were also guarded, and people in the mansion were prohibited from contacting outsiders.

In the palace, the Shenwu Army was inferior in number to the Southern Army that had guarded the capital for more than [-] years.Even though everyone is skilled in martial arts, all the nobles in the palace at this time, as well as the officials at the banquet who did not leave the palace because of Gong Xibang's sudden attack, all need the protection of the Shenwu Army, so the Shenwu Army can only stick to the palace gate and fight for it. To be able to hold out until the arrival of reinforcements.

Emperor Jing Yan finally woke up after being in a coma for several days. He opened his cloudy eyes and looked around. Duan Yixian.

Duan Yixian's face was haggard. He was seriously injured in Gong Xibang's surprise attack that day. Although it was not fatal, but in the past few days, he had patrolled various places one after another and guarded in front of Emperor Jingyan's bed. Once upon a time.Seeing Emperor Jingyan wake up, he breathed a sigh of relief, and leaned down slightly, "Father, you finally woke up, let the imperial physician look at you again?"

Emperor Jingyan waved his hand and opened his mouth with difficulty, "How is the situation in Beijing now?"

Duan Yixian lowered his eyes and said truthfully, "The southern army has surrounded the inner palace, and controlled the gates of the capital, and guarded the families of all the officials. But I have sent my confidants to escape from the capital, and took the token to find Seventh brother, if he goes to Yandi to look for General Li, reinforcements will arrive soon."

Emperor Jing Yan sighed, "I underestimated Gong Xibang. I thought it was too late, and I still had time for me to arrange slowly and get rid of him for you, but I didn't expect that he would actually attack him in advance because of his son's matter." , I made a mistake."

Duan Yixian was slightly surprised, "Father, you...had long thought about attacking Gongxibang?"

Emperor Jing Yan looked up at Duan Yixian with focused eyes, as if he wanted to see traces of another person on his face. After a long time, he said, "It's probably time to tell you, Zhen... I probably won't last long."

Emperor Jing Yan stood up and looked at Zhang Cheng who was standing beside him. Zhang Cheng nodded lightly, turned around and went out, turned back after a while, holding a small box in his hand, lifted it with both hands, and handed it to Duan Yixian.Duan Yixian opened the box and saw a piece of folded yellow silk inside, probably because of its age, the edge of the silk was slightly yellowish.Duan Yixian glanced back at Emperor Jingyan, picked up the piece of yellow silk, slowly opened it, and saw the familiar writing on it: "Third Prince Duan Yixian is highly eloquent, brave and courageous, most like when I was young, and after a hundred years, I will take the throne." Passed on to the third son. Jing Yan for three years."

Duan Yixian's hands trembled slightly, he raised his eyes to look at Emperor Jingyan on the hospital bed, his eyes were full of puzzlement, he couldn't figure out what was going on with the last decree written 19 years ago, why he was allowed to be by Emperor Jingyan's side Years, never seen this thing.And what is the purpose of Emperor Jingyan writing him down?

Emperor Jing Yan covered his mouth with both hands, started to nibble vigorously, and then turned to the other people serving in the room, including civil servants, generals, imperial physicians, servants, and Duan Yihong who already knew the inside story, and said slowly, "You all I heard that, I will pass on the throne to the third prince, Duan Yixian, from now on, you must enshrine him as the new king and help him guard the world I have worked so hard for."

After a brief silence, everyone knelt down, "I will obey the holy orders."

Emperor Jingyan waved his hand, and said a little tiredly, "You all go down, Zhang Cheng stays to wait, I have something to say to Yixian."

Everyone retreated one after another, and the door of the main hall was closed. Emperor Jingyan pointed to the soft couch beside him, "Yixian, sit down. After so many years, we father and son can finally talk happily."

Duan Yixian was still holding the yellow silk in his hand, obviously he hadn't recovered, but he sat down on the soft couch and raised his head to look at Emperor Jingyan.Emperor Jingyan leaned back, closed his eyes slightly, and said softly, "I owe your concubine mother the position of wife, and I owe you the position of prince, but I can't do anything about it. Xibang is my right-hand man, and therefore holds great power. With the establishment of the new dynasty, each member of the Gongxi family occupies a high position, and their power continues in the previous dynasty. The only way to get rid of him is to pull Fang Yong up with one hand, hoping to compete with him. When the queen was established, because Gong Xibang took the lead in opposing, under pressure, I could only make Gong Xihan the queen, but I never expected , half a year later, when you were born, on the issue of setting up the crown prince, I was challenged the same way, so I had to compromise."

"I originally planned to make you the crown prince after two years when you were a little older, but I didn't expect that Yikang would be envied by others because of my favor, and he would drown in the lotus pond. I'm afraid that the same danger will fall to You and your mother and concubine can only make Mo the crown prince. For the rest of the time, I plan to seize Fang Yong's power before he dies. Except for Gong Xibang, I will leave you with no threat. The throne. But I didn’t expect that before my plan, Gongxibang would start.” Emperor Jingyan sighed regretfully, “I probably can’t do it anymore, I can only leave you a mess. But these years, your I understand everything that is going on in the open and in the dark, among all the scholars, you are the most like me, I think you can clean up this mess."

Duan Yixian was obviously beyond the point of shock, Emperor Jingyan looked at him with a smile, then suddenly covered his lips and coughed violently, Zhang Cheng stepped forward to hand over the brocade handkerchief, Emperor Jingyan stopped coughing, and continued, "Let it be yours Man, I already knew that I was the one who preferred Zhang Cheng back then, and let him into the palace without checking his body, and came all the way to my side. With him, you have a helper, and I don’t have to worry, you will be killed. Others plotted against him. But I didn't expect that when I saved his body for you, I saved my own son."

Duan Yixian opened his mouth, "Father, I..."

Emperor Jing Yan waved his hand, "Among these sons, Yi Kang died early, Yi Mo was cowardly and was controlled by his uncle, Yi Hong didn't care about these things, and Yi Hong wandered around in his childhood. Only you can secure the throne. I only I hope that after you ascend the throne of God, you can treat your younger brothers well, especially Yimo." Emperor Jingyan sighed, "After seeing my last will, I made an agreement with him to keep the secret and help you. I will keep his mother and brother safe. With Mo's character, just be an idle prince, and as for the queen, let her stay in the palace to enjoy her old age. I don't want to see you brothers and sisters fighting each other, then, death will not be a peace."

Duan Yixian was startled, and immediately knelt on the ground, "I swear here that I will keep my younger brothers safe and sound, and never do anything like brotherhood."

Emperor Jing Yan nodded, "This way I can rest assured." He closed his eyes tiredly, and after a long time, he said slowly, "I want to see your mother and concubine before I die, will she forgive me?"

Duan Yixian paused for a moment, and clenched Emperor Jingyan's hand, "Father, I'm going to pick up my mother and concubine right now, you...you must wait for her, okay?" After saying that, Duan Yixian turned around and rushed out, leaving In the lower inner hall, Emperor Yan was drowsy, and Zhang Cheng was quietly standing beside him.

When Duan Yixian came back, Zhang Cheng was already kneeling in front of the couch. Duan Yixian closed his eyes, then knelt down, followed by Concubine Shu Bujie, who was panting slightly behind him, wearing tulle on her face, her bright eyes were wide open, Can't believe what happened.She walked to the couch step by step, and saw Emperor Jing Yan on it, it turned out that at some point, that person was no longer young.

His temples were gray, the corners of his eyes were wrinkled, his eyes were closed tightly, and there was no sign of being alive.Bu Jie was suddenly at a loss. She had hated this man for more than 20 years and had nothing to ask for from him. At this moment, seeing him lying here without any breath, she just felt cold all over.

Bu Jie squatted down tremblingly, and held the old hand of Emperor Jingyan Duan Shengming. Those hands were as wide and thick as when she was young, full of calluses from her martial arts training when she was young, but she could no longer hold them back forcefully.She stretched out her other hand and stroked Duan Shengming's face little by little. She suddenly felt a trembling pain in her chest, but she didn't know why.

She closed her eyes tiredly, but for some reason, the scene where she saw Duan Shengming for the first time at her father's banquet 30 years ago appeared in front of her eyes.He was dressed in a white robe and was very heroic. Although it was his first time facing the Holy Spirit, he was neither humble nor overbearing, showing no trace of fear.

Afterwards, the two of them fell in love at first sight, Emperor Liang Ming was also very satisfied with this young offspring, and the princess got married, causing a sensation in the court.

Later, when Liang died, she changed from a princess of a country to an orphan of a subjugated king, and he changed from an envied son-in-law to the most unneglectable force in the troubled times at the end of Liang.Probably since then, the tenderness and sweetness of the past can no longer be found between them.From Gongxihan's entry into the mansion, to Duan Shengming's proclaiming the emperor later, but the back seat went to the concubine, Bu Jie finally gave up hope for that man.

In the following 20 years, she never smiled at this man again, but she never expected that one day, he would really leave her.

Bu Jie's body trembled, tears poured out of her eyes, she raised her hand to touch it, slightly surprised, since she became Emperor Jingyan's Concubine Shu, she never shed tears again, she has no hope, Don't be afraid to be disappointed again, if you don't care, you won't be heartbroken.

And she finally cried today, but the man closed his eyes and couldn't see him anymore.
