Offer a tripod

The first time Yuan Jing knew the word "death" was when he was four years old.

Eight eunuchs carried him onto the stone bridge that he must pass to the Changning Hall.The cold wind was blowing and the rain was blowing, and the ground was slippery. The two people walking in front swayed at the same time, and Yuan Jing's body also fell sideways uncontrollably.

The dark guard reacted quickly and lifted the little prince out of the sedan chair with one hand.The sedan chair was knocked heavily on the vermilion railings, the hanging ornaments on the side of the sedan chair were broken, and the broken beads rolled like rain, rolling to the feet of Emperor Yan who came to pick him up.

Yuan Jing didn't know what happened, he was hugged in a daze, and he was sent to his father in a daze.Emperor Yan didn't have the slightest temper towards him, asked him in a gentle voice if he was okay, and carried him back to Changning Hall.

Yuan Jing didn't know it at all, and when he turned around, he issued the order to kill, 36 eunuchs and court ladies died quietly.

On the way back, he saw unfamiliar faces around him, so he asked curiously.Yuan Xi made a "hush" gesture, hung him all the way, and only said to him after he entered the palace gate holding Yuan Jing's hand, "They are all dead."

Yuan Jing asked childishly, "What is death?"

Yuan Xi deliberately lowered her voice, and whispered in a bewitching way: "Death means they will never come back."

Yuan Jing opened his eyes wide: "Why didn't you come back?"

Yuan Xi wiped his hands for him, and said to him slowly: "Because their errands were not done well, you almost got hurt."

Yuan Jing shook his head hastily, and turned his two tender little hands over and over to show him: "It's not hurt."

Yuan Xi said very seriously: "It's almost impossible. Your Highness is the crown prince of Dayan, so there must be no slight difference."

Yuan Jing didn't quite understand what he said, but he was inexplicably sad, and Yuan Xi didn't continue to explain, but patted his head and took him to play.

The one who left after that was Yuan Jing's first wet nurse.The weather was fine that day, she was dazzled by the sun, she was inexplicably dizzy, and fell heavily to the ground with Yuan Jing in her arms.Yuan Jing's forehead hit the edge of the bluestone platform, blood was seen immediately, the palace people were all in a mess, Yuan Jing was also afraid, but he didn't know what he was afraid of, he only knew that he was holding on to the nurse's sleeve tightly .

Later Emperor Yan came, and seeing his bloody little face, he couldn't even hide his anger.

The nurse carried Yuan Jing to the chair, smiled at him with tears in her eyes, kowtowed and left.

Yuan Jing felt uneasy at that time, woke up twice in the night, but couldn't find her.When Emperor Yan went to the early court, Yuan Xi came to see him, mentioned this person, and wrote lightly: "Father ordered the death with a stick, and now he is dead. It just happened that it rained last night, so I can save blood."

Yuan Jing's tears flowed out immediately, Yuan Xi wiped them for him, and said amusedly: "What's so sad about this, there are many nurses in the palace to choose from, just pick the one you like."

When Emperor Yan came again, he brought six wet nurses with him and asked him which one he wanted.Yuan Jing likes all of them, but he doesn't dare to like each of them, and finally picks the one that looks the most gentle.

She stayed with Yuan Jing for two years, but then disappeared.

That time Yuanjing was so sad that he refused to listen to anyone.

Only Yuan Xi stayed by his side all the time, comforting him patiently: "Brother Jing is a prince, he was born to be superior, and those slaves are only worthy to support you below, and they can't afford your favor. You are hurting their fortune by being sad for them, they will not even be able to cross the bridge of Naihe, and can only be lonely ghosts."

Yuan Jing's small face was flushed, and he endured it for a long time, and suddenly burst into an unbearable cry: "I don't want to be the prince anymore."

He rushed into Changning Palace like a cannon, crying and making noise at Emperor Yan, Emperor Yan heard his words clearly and asked him, "Who taught you this?"

Yuan Xi hurriedly followed and threatened him: "Brother Jing, don't talk nonsense, you will make your father angry!"

Yuan Jing was frightened by Emperor Yan's "anger", and when he came back to his senses, he covered his mouth and refused to say another word.

Emperor Yan stood in front of Yuan Jing, covering him completely in his own shadow. Yuan Jing couldn't see his expression, and only heard him say coldly: "I haven't passed on you yet, so you trespassed without a call. Before you teach your younger brother how to behave, do you still remember the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers?"

Yuan Xi's face turned pale, and she plopped down on her knees: "My son is guilty."

Emperor Yan said coldly: "Go back to the palace and think about your mistakes."

Yuan Xi knelt in the palace for three days. When the pardon came, she couldn't even stand up. Yuan Jing begged for grace to pick him up. Seeing his appearance, he didn't dare to say a word, and helped him up with red eyes. go back.

Yuan Xi's voice was very hoarse, but she looked at him with gentle eyes: "It's okay, brother Jing, don't be sad, brother Huang can't bear it either."

Yuan Jing desperately held back his tears, and asked him in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Brother Huang, can't I like others?"

The gentleness on Yuan Xi's face remained unchanged: "You are a prince, you can like anyone you want, but the person you like has to be the smartest, most understanding, and most perfect person in the world, just like the gods in the temple. Buddha is as powerful, only such a person is worthy of your liking."

Yuan Jing was not happy at all when he heard this.On the way to send him back, I kept thinking: "What's the use of the gods and Buddhas in the temple? I just want a living person who can stand by my side, talk to me, and talk to me. When we are happy, we will Go out to enjoy the air, bask in the sun, and if you are not happy, stay somewhere together and not come out."

An eagle chirped in the sky, and when he looked up, there was no trace.Yuan Jing withdrew his gaze and thought in his heart: "Yes, he'd better be like an eagle, he can leave at any time by spreading his wings, but he is willing to stay for me."

In the study of the General's Mansion, at some point, there was a little fox. Its fur was as smooth as snow, and its eyes were full of water.It is said that General Shenwu chased several mountains before he packed it into that luxurious cage unscathed and brought it back to the mansion.

Chu Zhan was still young, and when he saw the little furry animals, he was going crazy with joy.General Shenwu forbade him to touch it, fearing that he would run away with the fox.Chu Zhan begged for a long time to no avail, so he had to go to his room every day to see.

The little fox was in good spirits at first, but when the heat came in, he lay there listlessly and motionless all day long.Chu Zhan stabbed it with a stick, but it didn't even open its eyes, and didn't know whether it was dead or alive.Chu Zhan was terrified, and ran to find Chu Yu, begging him to secretly open the cage to take a look.

Chu Yu couldn't bear him to grind, so he had to go with him.There was a small gold lock on the cage door, no thicker than a little finger, and he could open the cage door just by twisting it.But Chu Zhan was in a hurry and yelled, before the lock was broken, he called General Shenwu first.

Chu Yu didn't know what to be afraid of by nature, facing his father's majestic expression, he said calmly: "Let me see if it is dead."

General Shenwu shook his head: "It's just pretending." He squatted halfway to the side of the cage, and stuck his fingers in, as if he wanted to touch it.The little fox who was dying just now jumped up suddenly, showed its long and sharp animal teeth, and threw itself on his hand.

General Shenwu pointed back and pinched its throat easily.The little fox whimpered, but really didn't dare to move anymore.

General Shenwu said: "See, the fox is the most cunning, it has hatred in its heart, and it will spend its whole life thinking about revenge."

Chu Zhan popped a small head from behind Chu Yu, and asked timidly: "Then don't let it out forever? It will be unhappy."

General Shenwu glanced at him, and said calmly: "How can there be so many people in the world who are happy or unhappy? The art of war instruction didn't tell you that the most important thing is to hold what you want firmly." He turned around with the cage in his hand and said: "I like these little things, let your elder brother call you, and stop messing around."

Chu Zhan looked at Chu Yu pitifully, and Chu Yu had no choice but to go up the mountain for him.He brought back a litter of little foxes, but Chu Zhan didn't give up. Seeing a white fox inside that looked like his father's favorite pet, he took a few servants and quietly went over to exchange it.

As soon as they opened the cage door, the dozing fox ran away without a trace.General Shenwu later made a big fuss.

Chu Yu watched coldly, showing no sympathy for anyone. He looked at the narrow cage door and the little golden lock that was left aside, and thought to himself: If there is an exit, why should we talk about it?
