Meng Dong

After the eunuch left, the hall fell into a brief silence.

Yan Hong doesn't have any feelings for his cheap uncle, especially for him, he came here today to play a scene with Yan Tai, since the other party hasn't shown anything yet, how could he take the initiative to react?So he sat comfortably on the chair, his eyes always looking at Yan Tai who was in front of the case.

Not only Yan Hong was looking at Yan Tai, but Yan Tai was also sizing up Yan Hong. Various emotions flitted across his old face.It was as if just seeing Yan Hong's face had already given him mixed feelings.

Yan Hong knew why he had such a reaction, because Yan Hong's face was almost carved out of the same mold as his father Wang Xiannan County Wang Yanchang.In the past few years, countless people have expressed various expressions towards Yan Hong's face. They have sighed countless times, why the father and son are so similar in appearance, but why are they so different in character? Why was the king of Xiannan County so brave, but left behind a descendant like Yan Hong in the end?After that, he couldn't help but fall into the nostalgia for the old Nanjun king, and all kinds of preaching to Yan Hong.

But Yan Hong believes that Yan Tai's mood is quite different at this moment.

Yan Hong sneered mockingly in his heart, looking at his face, Yan Tai must have recalled those years when he had to be on guard against Yan Chang all the time, how Yan Chang won the victory in front of the late emperor by virtue of his bravery and combat skills. The pampering made his crown prince crumbling, and he remembered how he had set up guards before finally ascending to the throne.

It was his nightmare for many years, and it took a lot of effort to get rid of it completely.Unexpectedly, Yan Hong's appearance brought him back to the past overnight.

After staring at each other for a long time, Yan Tai let out a long sigh. He reached out and touched the teacup at hand, took a sip, relieved his expression, and said slowly: "All these years, you have kept your orphans and widows. I stayed in Jiangling City without paying any attention to it. It was because of my negligence as an uncle, but... I am connected with your father by blood. When he went to station in Jiangling, it was I who went out of the city to see him off. I remember that we agreed back then. , When he returned to the capital, we wanted to have a drink together. But I didn't expect that farewell to become our brother's farewell. For so many years, every time I think of it, I feel so sad that I don't know how to face you mother and son. Fortunately, Now it seems that your mother and concubine took good care of you. I think that when the late emperor was alive, he was quite dissatisfied with your father's marriage, but seeing you now, I feel that your father's choice is still right. Anyway , if your royal father really has knowledge under the spring, he will feel very relieved to see your appearance today."

Yan Hong raised his eyebrows, and let out a chuckle unabashedly: "Your Majesty may not know the situation in Jiangling City after staying in the capital for a long time, but my mother...is not the same as these empresses in our palace. To tell you the truth , even though our mother and son live in the same mansion all day long, I don’t know how long it will take to see each other. Among other things, she went out of the city to escape the summer heat a few days ago. She lived for several months and didn’t even come back for my birthday. I can Having grown to this age, maybe my father, Wang Quan, really appeared and protected me."

Yan Tai narrowed his eyes slightly, and a smile appeared on his lips: "What you said is too childish. Your mother and concubine may not like to be restrained because of her birth, but it is understandable. Besides, you don't need to be restrained now. She can rest assured at the age of remembering everything. Anyway, you have grown up now, and you can also inherit your father's will. Fortunately, Jiangling City has not made any mistakes under your command for so many years. I am in the capital. Only then can we sit back and relax.” Speaking of this, his expression became a little more serious, “However, I heard that some time ago, there seemed to be some changes in the territory of Beiliang, and it seemed that there was an evil intention, and he was planning Jiangling again. Come on. Before, what else did they do?"

Yan Hong scratched his hair, and said nonchalantly: "I heard some words from General Gao and the others before, but in my opinion, this is just wishful thinking of the people in Beiliang. They have been thinking about Jiangling for so many years. When will it succeed? Anyway, there are several generals in the army, so there will be no problem."

Yan Tai nodded: "The generals in Jiangling are all old men under your father's command, and they were loyal to your father. When your father died suddenly, I was worried that the army would be unstable and would be killed by Beiliang people. I took advantage of this loophole and hesitated over and over again whether to send people there, but the situation in the court was complicated and no one could trust me, but fortunately the generals were very capable and managed to stabilize the situation for so many years."

"I don't know if I'm capable or not, but I really talk a lot," Yan Hong said, as if recalling something, and suddenly grimaced, "Every time we meet, you have to keep preaching to me, you can't go to the Fengyue Pavilion , always drinking is not allowed, and it is not allowed to raise a male pet. No matter what you do, you have to be reminded that this is a loss of face for my father. My father has been dead for so many years. Maybe he was reincarnated a long time ago. So much face was lost to me, my mother didn't care as much as they did. Even before setting off to the capital this time, she was called to the army to remind me that the capital is no better than Jiangling, at the feet of the emperor, let me pay attention to my words and deeds, and be careful. Don't offend Tianzun."

"The generals also have high hopes for you. After all, Jiangling City will rely on you in the future." Yan Tai stared at Yan Hong for a while, and said slowly, "But at any rate, you are the master of the three armies. You should build some prestige. When you go back, I will send people to Jiangling to remind the generals."

Yan Hong nodded in agreement: "Who says it's not the case? Now the soldiers in the army are only following the orders of the generals, and they don't even have me as the commander in their eyes." Speaking of this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, His Majesty summoned me to the capital. Anyway, I can live in peace for a while without being controlled by them."

"I haven't seen you for many years, and I miss you very much. Since this is the case, it's rare to come here this time, so I will stay in the capital for a while. Tomorrow, I will send a few people to take you around the city to see if there is anything in the capital." It’s not as fun as Jiangling City.” Yan Tai said slowly, “I just heard that your people have settled down in the inn in the city. You might as well just live in the palace, so that you can talk to me every day. Your siblings are still young, and they are all afraid of my strength, and it has been a long time since I have such a good chat with anyone."

Yan Hong's expression suddenly became very tangled. He looked at Yan Tai, frowned, and finally shook his head: "Although my nephew really wants to spend more time with His Majesty in the palace, but...cough," he said Looking around, he lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know something. When I came to the capital this time, I secretly brought someone with me. Well, General Gao and the others don't like him very much. If they find out, I will bring someone here. After leaving the capital and living in the palace, it is very troublesome to go back. Besides, this opportunity is rare, I want to have fun in this city for a few days, it is really inconvenient to live in the palace and go back and forth.”

Yan Tai nodded knowingly: "What you said is reasonable. The palace wall seems to be a protection, but why is it not a kind of restraint? It's more comfortable to live outside the palace." He said, lips Bian Yang smiled, "Speaking of which, you are not young anymore, and you should have someone by your side. Last time I heard from the messenger that you married someone on your birthday, and you didn't even tell your mother and concubine. This kind of thing is not child's play, especially if you marry a wife and have children, it is related to the future of Nanjun Wang's lineage, and also related to the future of Jiangling City, so you should be more cautious. If there are people around you who are pleasing to the eye, it doesn't matter if you have interesting ones. The matter of marrying a wife should be decided by your mother and concubine."

A hint of impatience appeared on Yan Hong's face, as if he was trying to suppress himself, before he said after a while: "The person I'm raising by my side is one of the most beautiful beauties in Jiangling City. If you ask me, I might not be able to find her in the capital." His, that day I was also on the spur of the moment, thinking that the matter of getting married sounded fun, so I tossed about in the mansion by myself, thinking that it wouldn't hinder anyone. Anyway, if you can marry a wife, you can divorce it, so it doesn't matter. As for marrying a wife and having children like His Majesty said, I'm not interested in finding someone by my side to control me every day, let's talk about it in a few years."

Yan Tai shook his head helplessly: "Hong'er, you are still too childish, especially when it comes to this kind of thing. Forget it, maybe after a few years, you will be able to figure it out when you are a few years older. As for Regarding your marriage, I will also check in the capital to see if there is any suitable one, and then I will ask your mother and concubine for her opinion, and help you find a wife with good character and appearance."

Yan Hong yawned lazily: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry for your trouble." He still showed no interest on his face.

Yan Tai looked at him for a while, and waved his hand lightly: "Forget it, you came all the way exhausted, and you were called here before you rested. It's getting late now, you'd better go back and have a rest." Anyway, the time is still long, you and my uncles and nephews have plenty of time. Don't patronize playing in the city, remember to come and see me in the palace. When I call your brothers and sisters some other day, I will also get to know them well. "

Yan Hong bowed and saluted Yan Tai, his attitude seemed to be respectful, but it also seemed very perfunctory, and it could be seen that he was anxious to leave.Yan Tai curled his lower lip, called back the eunuch just now, and ordered him to arrange someone to take Yan Hong back to the inn.

After Yan Hong left, the hall became quiet again. Yan Tai watched the memorial on the imperial case for a long time, but he still couldn't calm down.After a while, the eunuch re-entered the palace, Yan Tai raised his eyes to look at him: "Is he sent away?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. I have already ordered the person to be sent back to the inn directly."

"Well," Yan Tai said indifferently, "What kind of person do you think my nephew is?"

"It seems to be similar to the rumors, and he is really a man who can't bear the heavy responsibility." The eunuch couldn't help but think of the scene he saw when he went to the inn just now, "Just now, the servant went to the inn to invite him, and he followed his male favorite, tsk, it's really unbearable Very purposeful."

"Rumors?" Yan Tai closed the memorial in his hand, "Over the years, if I hadn't been deceived by those rumors, how could I have indulged him so far. I have really underestimated him for so many years, and you just saw him in my In front of me, every sentence is absurd, without etiquette, but full of precautions, every word is full of deep meaning, dissolving my temptations in the open and in the dark. If it were the past, I might really be deceived by him, but fortunately..."

As he spoke, he tapped his fingers on the imperial case, and continued: "He is just like his father, he was born to be a trouble, and we can't keep it. You don't know, just when I saw his face, I thought of him. That annoying father, but it will be soon, I will be a good person to the end, and when the time comes, I will send him to reunite with his father."

The eunuch was puzzled, and tentatively said: "Your Majesty, I am just a servant, but I am puzzled by one fact, that is, since the king of Nanjun is a well-established man, he should know His Majesty's fear of him, so how could he be so reckless today? After entering the palace with his servants, isn't he afraid that everything today is actually a trap?"

"This is my nephew's excellence," Yan Tai said, "He knew that I would never do anything to him in the palace, and he would not even let him have an accident in the capital. His father died suddenly As for death, I don’t know how many people suspect me, if someone else dies under my nose, the whole world will point at me. If someone takes the opportunity to make trouble, I will have a big headache.”

"Then if that's the case, don't we think we can't move him during the time he's in the capital?" the eunuch said, "We tried our best to lure him out of Jiangling City. Are we going to let the tiger go back to the mountain?"

"I've already made arrangements," Yan Tai said with a smile, "I just wait for an opportunity, when our reinforcements act first, that's the best time for me to do it. I have endured their Nanjun Palace for so many years, and it's not too late. This time, I must completely eradicate the serious trouble in the Nanjun Palace."

The eunuch bowed slightly, and respectfully said to Yan Tai: "Your Majesty will go ahead and congratulate you."

After staying in the palace for too long, it was completely dark when we returned to the inn, with a bright moon in the sky, but there was a sense of desolation for no reason.

Yan Hong got off the carriage outside the inn door, raised his head to look at the moon above him, shook his head lightly, took another look at the carriage behind him, and entered the inn with a smile on his face.

Now that his whereabouts had already been exposed, the people from the Wangfu packed up the entire inn openly, and sent guards from the Wangfu to guard the door to prevent outsiders from entering.It saves a lot of trouble.

Qingming was waiting in the main hall of the inn, and when she saw Yan Hong coming in, she finally breathed a sigh of relief: "My lord, you are finally back."

Seeing the relieved expression on his face, Yan Hong couldn't help laughing: "Why, you thought this king would be detained in the palace? This is the capital city, and there are many people, and that one always cares about his reputation among the people, so he won't Do something so conspicuous."

He took the poured tea from Qingming and couldn't help but complain: "I've been dragging me to talk for a long time, and I didn't even pour my saliva." He said, took a big sip of tea, and immediately frowned, " Anyway, it’s the capital city, the taste of this tea can’t even compare with the stalls on the streets of Jiangling.”

He drank half a cup of tea rather dissatisfied, and began to look around. After Qingming caught a glimpse, he immediately said, "The prince wants to ask Mr. Meng? After you were picked up by the palace, he went upstairs and returned to his room." Yes, I went up to see it just now, and the lights are still on, so I guess I was waiting for you."

Mentioning Meng Dong, the smile on Yan Hong's face softened a lot, but he shook his head: "Don't disturb him yet, this king has to go to Qingxin's place first if he has something to do, and he will go back later."

Qingming understood, and nodded immediately: "My lord, you entered the palace without eating much dinner, do you want to order the kitchen to make some more food for you?"

Yan Hong tilted his head and thought for a while, then nodded: "Then let them cook two bowls of noodles and deliver them to my room."

"Yes, my lord."

The Tianzihao private room upstairs is the best room in the entire inn, occupying most of the floor by itself, and is the quietest.But at this time, this kind of tranquility seemed a little deserted.

There was only one red candle lit in the room, and because the window was open, the candle flame swayed in the breeze, and even the reflected reflection kept shaking.

Meng Dong didn't care.

He had been standing by the window for a long time, and the night wind in early autumn made his whole body icy cold, but he didn't realize it.He stared blankly out of the window, but he didn't even know what he was thinking at the moment.

At first he thought he was worried about Yan Hong, but later he realized that it was not. After all, he knew that Emperor Guangxi would not be so stupid as to attack Yan Hong as soon as he entered the capital. It will disrupt all subsequent arrangements, and if it cannot be hit with one hit, it will fall short.

Yan Hong must have known this very well, so he followed the eunuch into the palace alone, leaving all the guards in the palace.

Meng Dong is well aware of Yan Hong's ability, and this kind of scene tonight is like a fish in water for him, so there is no need to worry at all.

Meng Dong was worried about the future.

All the progress of the matter seems to be proceeding step by step according to his plan. He is like a person who holds the pieces, laying down the pieces step by step, and every step falls, he also achieves the effect he wants.But now he wants to disrupt his own plan, just to save a sunspot from it.

But that black piece happened to be the one that would affect the overall situation. For the stability of the overall situation, Meng Dong had no choice but to turn himself into a white piece and also fall into that chessboard.

It is a very risky thing for Meng Dong not to be able to hold on anymore.But he had no choice, he couldn't let that sunspot have any accidents.

A soft sound came from outside the door, which disturbed Meng Dong's thoughts. He subconsciously turned his head and saw Yan Hong pushing open the door and walking in with a smile.

Although he knew that this person would not be in danger tonight, seeing the smile on his face at this moment, Meng Dong's hanging heart was still a little more stable. He leaned against the window and looked at Yan Hong with a smile: "The prince is finally back. .”

Yan Hong walked up to him and squeezed his cold hands: "If this king never comes back, are you going to stand here as a watchdog?"

Meng Dong glanced at him, shook his head with a smile, let him hold his hand, and lingered on his face for a while: "It seems that the prince is in a good mood, but what reward did you get in the palace?"

"It's cold at night, and you've been standing by the window. If you catch the wind and cold, I can only find Qingxin to prescribe medicine for you." As he spoke, he closed the window with his hands back, and pulled Yan Hong on the bed. Sitting down and wrapping the person in a quilt, he felt relieved and answered Meng Dong's question just now, "Don't mention the reward, I didn't even give my saliva to drink. He even mentioned my father over and over again, with a heartbroken look , It's really ridiculous. If I hadn't heard that he and my father took the throne back then, I would have really believed that he and my father are really brothers."

Meng Dong smiled softly: "He is the king of a country now, so he always has to put on a good posture. Isn't the prince very clear about this? I think the prince will perform well tonight."

Yan Hong lay on his back on Meng Dong's lap, stretched out his fingers and hooked his chin: "Speaking of which, the old emperor has aged a lot. He worked so hard to get such a throne back then, but he didn't expect that after so many years, he still couldn't sit still. .Daily fearful, exhausted thinking, do not know what to plan. If you want me to say, what is so good about the throne, being locked in that huge cage, unable to move. "

"Throughout the ages, countless people have struggled for that position. In fact, the picture is not the meaning behind that position. After all, there is only one Lord of the world. Sitting there means holding endless rights. All people admire him. How can you not be tempted?" Meng Dong hooked Yan Hong's restless fingers, "How many people like Wang Ye are there?"

"Admiration by all people?" Yan Hong chuckled, "I don't have to say it." He lowered his eyes, thinking of something, smiled and shook his head for a while, turned sideways, directly held Meng Dong's waist, and put his face on the From above his lower abdomen, a muffled voice came out, "I finally got out of there, I don't want to mention these troublesome things again."

Yan Hong's warm breath fell on Meng Dong's lower abdomen through the thin material, even though the two had done more intimate things, it still made Meng Dong feel a little uncomfortable.With red ears, he reached out and stroked Yan Hong's hair, and asked softly, "What does the prince want to talk about?"

Yan Hong smiled softly, then turned over suddenly, put one hand on Meng Dong's shoulder, and the other still around his waist: "Didn't the king just say that before he left? When I come back, I will I want to get back what you owed a few days ago."

Meng Dong could clearly feel how restless the hand on his waist was. He lowered his eyes slightly, licked his lips lightly, and said in a low voice: "Then the prince just asks for it, and I didn't say no. .”

Yan Hong squinted his eyes, squeezed the hand on Meng Dong's shoulder tightly, pulled the whole person in front of him, and then kissed Meng Dong's lips.
