Offer a tripod

At the end of spring and the beginning of summer, Changning Palace was as cold as winter.The people in the Palace of Imperial Physicians knelt on the ground, their legs felt like sieves, and occasionally there was a sob.Liu Lin made gestures to prevent anyone from crying.At this time, when the door of the hall was opened, the evening wind poured in, dissipating the medicinal energy here.The prince passed the crowd and walked in, looking straight at the bed.Liu Lin saw that the prince was having difficulty walking, his legs were trembling when he walked, so he hurried over to help him.Chu Yu followed him with an unspeakable expression. Seeing him walk behind the bed curtain, he had to wait outside. After a while, there was a suppressed weeping and whispering.

Chu Yu has excellent ears, and he can hear what they are saying if he pays a little attention. He deliberately does not distinguish, recalling in his mind what Yun Lailai said to himself a few days ago when he came to the mansion: "...the dragon and the snake are changing, the emperor's order It's even easier, when there is a time, the mountains collapse, the sky is chaotic, this is one..." Unknowingly, he clenched the sword in his hand, but for some reason, the former Yuan Jing acted coquettishly and shamelessly in front of him, laughing and laughing at every turn. When he came out, his heart felt soft, and he quietly let go of his hand.

After a while, Yuan Jing came out with red eyes, and he glanced at Chu Yu with a blank expression: "Father told you to go in." Liu Lin bowed to the side and said to the medical officers: "Your Majesty, please come in." Wait outside the hall." When they went out, they invited the servants and the prince out together.

Chu Yu was suspicious, and looked in, and saw a ball of candlelight shining through it, the light was not enough to fill a foot, and he didn't know what was going on behind him.He thought for a while, then took off his saber and put it on the outside table, and entered alone.

Emperor Yan was half lying on the bed, his hair was combed neatly, his eyes became extremely clear, he could vaguely see his former demeanor, but his face was abnormally rosy, which could be seen at a glance.He pointed to the stool next to him and said, "Sit." Chu Yu hesitated for a moment, and sat down as he said.Emperor Yan looked at him with a smile on his face and said, "Has anyone told you that? You are very similar to your father when he was young."

Chu Yu didn't expect him to gossip with him, and said cautiously: "I don't remember."

Emperor Yan smiled slightly, looking at the top of the tent, he seemed a little disappointed: "I remember very clearly that when I first met him, he was about the same age as you now, and his appearance was carved out of the same mold. His temperament is also the same... ...a nuisance."

Seeing Chu Yu stunned for a moment, he smiled reassuringly: "Although I was not favored by the first emperor, I was still a prince. At that time, he was invited to teach us how to ride and shoot. I wanted to make friends, but he didn't even look at me. My eyes must be as high as the sky. I was unhappy, so I teased him by pretending to be drunk at a banquet, and told him to bear a grudge. Later, the Chu family army went to the north to suppress the rebellion. He was the vanguard. I asked the late emperor for orders to accompany the army Go to experience and experience. He has always looked down on us princes. In addition to the last incident, he does not want to see me even more. Therefore, when the army leaves the capital, everything does not follow the holy order. My basic necessities are better than his own soldiers. It's not as good. This battle lasted for a year, four months and nine days, and I really suffered all the hardships I could have suffered in the first half of my life."

When he said this, he paused: "However, if I hadn't suffered a lot when I was young, I might not have survived the days that followed. Later, the late emperor condemned me and exiled me to an extremely cold place. During those three years, Whenever the mountains were covered by heavy snow, all I could think about was the time when the tent dripped into ice during the march, and he and I were squeezed into the same tent. Isn’t it the same?” He let out a long sigh of relief, and glanced at Chu Yu: “Your father never told you these things, did he?”

Chu Yu didn't feel as disgusted as he said in his tone of voice. After thinking about it, he said, "Yes, he is busy with military affairs and has no time to chat with us."

Emperor Yan looked clear, and snorted softly: "I knew it. He has always been a taciturn person. Even if I designed him to be beaten by a military stick and dropped three ranks in a row, he clearly knew It was my method, and I didn't bother to argue with the general. I was proud all afternoon, but when I went to him, I couldn't be proud anymore. His cynical face is really abominable! Thinking about it now, I still feel angry. "

Chu Yu didn't know how to respond, so he had to keep silent.Seeing his blank expression, Emperor Yan knew that he had no way to respond, so he smiled: "As I get older, I can't help but think of the past. I have never had anyone to talk about, so it's rare to talk about it today. But you Of course I don't know. When you were seven years old, I asked the general to take you to Beijing to accompany the prince, do you remember?"

When Chu Yu heard him mentioning Yuan Jing, his expression became very gentle unconsciously, and even his voice became soft: "I don't remember, please remind your Majesty."

Emperor Yan had a panoramic view of his reaction, and said slowly: "My son is not breathing well. Before Jing'er, there were several sons in a row. It took a lot of trouble for Jing'er to be born safely. I really like him very much. I was also very worried. The people in the palace couldn’t trust me, so I wrote to your father, asking him to send you to Beijing to protect Jing’er from growing up safely. He didn’t want to bring you here, but he told me that the children in the family belonged to You are the most disobedient, and it is absolutely impossible for you to protect the crown prince. I don't believe it, but I want him to bring you here. He refused to follow the order, and Jing'er is almost two years old, so he brought you here."

If Yun Cong hadn't heard about the past, Chu Yu would have almost believed him.According to his expectation, Emperor Yan probably wanted him to enter the capital because he heard the saying that the astrology was different and became murderous.It's just that I can't remember what the situation was like at that time, and why I left.Before thinking too much, Emperor Yan said again: "On the first day you entered the palace, the general persuaded me to let you and the crown prince be alone for a try. I haven't seen him for a long time, so I went to the palace to chat for a while. After returning, I saw that you and Jing'er were locked in the same room, and the nurses and maids were not inside. Jing'er's tears were still wet, and she fell asleep in the cradle. You sat next to her, and her face was not good. See you I didn't salute, and even spoke with my back. Then I knew that the Royal Tianwei couldn't control you. Heh, I should have killed you at that time." He coughed, and Liu Lin didn't know when. He came in again, handed him a bowl of iced drink, and left quietly after he finished drinking.Emperor Yan didn't look at anyone, and his tone was flat as usual: "Later, you came to Beijing again, and your temperament and style have not changed. I knew at a glance that Jing'er is not your opponent. I only hate him for not being up to date, and always love you Get close to him, he doesn't know how powerful you are, even if you push him into the water and cover for you, I know it. I have endured it for a long time, and I only hope that he can find out by himself. I don't want you to ask for your life to leave the palace, so he will Since then, I have asked you to open the house and chased after you. I have taught him for many years, but this is the first time I have seen his expression. Since then, I have never thought of killing you, do you know why?"

Chu Yu's lips were pursed like a line, his complexion remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "I don't know."

Emperor Yan wanted to sit up, but the conversation just now cost him too much energy. Chu Yu hesitated for a moment, stood up and helped him, not wanting to be grabbed by him. The strength of the dying man was terrifying. Even the eyes that looked at him seemed to be full of strength, only to hear Emperor Yan say loudly: "Because my prince will be brave only when he is facing you. He is an emperor, so he has to be brave. Are you His determination and guts."

Chu Yu's heart was shaken, and all kinds of past events flooded into his mind like a cloud of smoke. For a while, all the bitterness and warmth came out, mixed together, and he didn't know what it was like.The light in Emperor Yan's eyes dimmed, but he still held onto him: "Do you like Jing'er?"

Chu Yu looked up, and his eyes collided with him. He only hesitated for a moment, then faced Emperor Yan, and said firmly: "He is the love of my life."

Emperor Yan closed his eyes, as if a little tired: "The day he returned to the palace, I also asked him the same question, and he answered the same as you." Chu Yu was stunned for a moment before he realized it, and looked at it in disbelief. with him.Emperor Yan said: "The crown prince is still young, and lacks some means to do things. Now that the foreign aggression is not over, among these veteran ministers, it is inevitable that there will be people who are contemptuous and weak. He, the emperor, will have a very difficult time. Can you help me?" Do I take care of him?"

Chu Yu didn't answer, he pondered for a moment, and said calmly: "The prince is the lord of the minister, and he is also the treasure in the heart of the minister. Naturally, the minister should regard him as the most important thing. It's just that the minister has little power, and I am afraid that he will be powerless. "

Emperor Yan seemed to have expected it, he sighed softly: "What do you think?"

Chu Yu moved and knelt in front of Emperor Yan. The candlestick placed aside was affected by him, and the light trembled. the right to rule."

When the gate of the palace was reopened, a bolide fell from the sky, and there was a crowd of people kneeling in front of the gate of the palace. Yuan Jing stood in front of the people and looked at the sky silently.He has become very thin these days, his clothes are full of wind, and his whole body seems to be shivering in the dark night. He looks at Chu Yu according to his reputation, but there is no light in his eyes.

Chu Yu held a tiger talisman in his palm, and he said in a low voice, "The emperor declares the prince to enter."

When Yuan Jing entered, Emperor Yan was already lying on the bed, the red light on his face had completely faded away, and his eyes were also dull.Yuan Jing firmly remembered his previous instructions, knelt beside his bed, held his hand tightly, didn't say a word, didn't shed a single tear, but spoke in a voice like weeping blood: "Royal Father."

Emperor Yan tried his best to touch his hair, moved his arm, and then lowered it weakly: "Come here, Father has something to tell you."

Yuan Jing hurriedly moved to Emperor Yan's ear, Emperor Yan was exhausted, and spoke for a long time with only a few words.When he left, he put one hand on the back of Yuan Jing's hand, and said worriedly: "Remember?" Yuan Jing nodded vigorously, and the tears in his eyes fell down.Emperor Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at him with incomparable kindness: "Father just now made a bet on your behalf with someone else, betting on your well-being for the rest of your life. I only hope that your luck is better than mine."

His fingers trembled, as if they were falling down. Liu Lin saw it clearly from the side, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the general is on his way, you...you must wait for him!"

Emperor Yan smiled silently: "I've waited long enough, I know, he won't come. I lied to him all my life, and he hates me in his heart." Opening his eyes with all his strength, the old finger pointed at Liu Lin: "If he If the general is going to the funeral, you tell him, I regret it a long time ago. If he comes alone, just give him the letter."

Liu Lin sobbed uncontrollably, knelt down and said, "Yes, the slave has written it down."

Emperor Yan held Yuan Jing's hand and said with difficulty: "My prince, you grew up watching him grow up. I... don't care about the past, you have to promise me that after I die...he is your only one." master."

Yuan Jing couldn't bear the tears and his throat hurt. He turned his face away, only to hear Liu Lin's sad voice: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, this old servant has served you for so many years, and my heart has long been towards you."

Emperor Yan felt relieved, looked at Yuan Jing and said, "I have done everything I can do, and from now on you can only rely on yourself."

Yuan Jing felt that he didn't even have the heat to breathe, and he was about to close his eyes, and he was terrified. He tightly grasped the corner of Emperor Yan's clothes, and kept asking for support: "Father, don't go, my son!" ...Erchen still can't do it..."

Emperor Yan glanced at him helplessly: "You're talking childishly again. I have been the emperor for decades, and I have made countless decisions. Although I have some regrets, in my heart... I have nothing to regret. You just look forward, I can do it, and I believe you can too..."

Yuan Jing crouched in his palm, feeling that the world was dark and there was nothing to miss, so he wanted to go with him.

All of a sudden, there was a sound of horses neighing outside the hall, and there were murmurs and commotions from the crowd. A member of the Huang family said in a loud and anxious voice: "Shenwu General Chu Ao, please see me." Lei, someone has rushed in.

Emperor Yan's eyes were blurred, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth: "My backer is here." He looked at Yuan Jing, and said in an inaudible voice, "My bet...won." , sleep forever.

small theater,

In fact, the truth about the old days is:

Emperor Yan: Look, this is my son, isn't it fun, cute, cute, want to rub?

Chu Yu: "I don't want to." (Throwing Yuan Jing to Chu Yu): "You can play with it." Then he dragged Emperor Yan away: "Let's go, let's find a place and I'll rub you."

Chu Yu hugged the baby and shouted from behind: "I don't want to play with him either!"

Yuan Jing squinted his fingers and blinked at Chu Yu, touching his face to play.
