Standing up to the west wind and geese not returning

Uncle Zhong's craftsmanship has always been very good.Du Zijin likes to eat meat, but Yan Ci likes to be vegetarian.At this moment, I have carefully cooked a table of dishes, all of which are delicious in color, fragrance, and mixed with meat and vegetables, and the fragrance is overflowing.

Du Zijin and Yan Ci were sitting in the side hall together. They hadn't eaten a few bites when they saw Ah Jiu rushing in in a hurry. He always behaved properly, but at this moment he was panicked and out of control. He didn't like it at all. The smiling face was full of gloom at the moment.

According to Yan Ci's understanding of Ah Jiu.He knows what his master likes.Nothing extraordinary happened.He definitely wouldn't rush in when Du Zijin was eating with him.

Yan Ci didn't say a word, but put down the bowls and chopsticks lightly. The mountain and rain were about to come and the wind filled the building. Yan Ci knew that these days might not be peaceful, so he looked at the master and servant in front of him with a resigned air.

Du Zijin glanced at Yan Ci lightly, and then said, "What kind of expression is this, Ah Ci?"

Yan Ci smiled and said nothing, so Du Zijin didn't say any more, just looked at Ah Jiu and said, "What happened."

Ah Jiu looked up at Yan Ci, then stepped forward gently, leaned over and whispered something in Du Zijin's ear.Ah Jiu didn't want Yan Ci to hear it, and Yan Ci was not annoyed, but just bowed his head and smiled slightly.

Du Zijin's face darkened bit by bit, and there was a mixture of anger and boredom in his pretty eyes.Then he threw away his chopsticks and got up to leave.

Du Zijin slammed the chopsticks on the table with brute force, and landed on the plate with a crisp sound.

Just as Yan Ci was about to reach out to pick up the chopsticks, he was suddenly stopped by Du Zijin. Du Zijin frowned and said, "I lost my composure, and my father set a fire in the palace. I'm afraid it will happen even now." The Hall of Taiyi is full of smog. I have good intentions and want to support him for the rest of his life, but he wants to make an ominous reflection before worshiping the ancestors. Then I can only let this fire burn on himself gone."

Yan Ci nodded lightly, stretched out his hand to shake Du Zijin's hand, and said, "The emperor is a lucky man. It is God's will to inherit the great treasure, and everyone expects it. The emperor must be careful in everything. Get rid of traitors and bring peace to the world as soon as possible."

Du Zijin patted the back of Yan Ci's hand lightly, and then said, "Don't worry, Ah Ci, it's just a pity, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat this meal today."

Yan Ci patted Du Zijin's hand backhandedly, and then said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty."

Du Zijin nodded slightly, and then hurried away with Ah Jiu.

Yan Ci looked at the delicious food on the table, and suddenly felt endless sadness in his heart, and then said, "Uncle Zhong, go and call Ye Ning and Sui He over. You can eat with me together."

Uncle Zhong left in response, but Yan Ci found it a little funny.When did I become such a temperament.It makes people laugh.

In the afternoon, Yan Ci was called into the palace by Du Zijin's order.When passing in front of the Taiyi Hall, all the ladies and eunuchs looked chilly, and all of them bowed their heads in silence.

Although the imperial palace is spacious and vast, it is not as lifeless as it is today.It was as if every step fell on the floor tiles, and a slight sound could be heard.

Yan Ci felt faintly uneasy in his heart, but he had no choice but to move on.The eunuch who was leading the way disappeared at some point.When Yan Ci arrived at the gate of Taiyi Hall, there was already no one there.

Yan Ci bowed respectfully in front of the gate of the Taiyi Hall, and said, "My minister Yan Ci, please greet Your Majesty."

Yan Ci's clean voice was scattered by the early winter wind.It disappeared in a moment.

Not even a little echo could be heard in the empty hall.Yan Ci reached out and pushed open the closed door, and walked in slowly.

The bright yellow curtain fluttered in all directions, every step Yan Ci took seemed to be stepping on an unfathomable trap.

After Yan Ci walked dozens of steps, he had reached the center of Taiyi Hall, when the door behind him suddenly closed automatically.

All the burning candles in the hall were suddenly extinguished, but this was an October afternoon, not night.

So the extinguishing of those candles did not arouse Yan Ci's fear too much.On the contrary, it made him firmer in his guess.

"The Supreme Emperor is indeed wise." Yan Ci looked at the golden light shining on the ground due to the slanting sun.Shouted softly.

There were calm footsteps behind him, Yan Ci did not turn his head, but smiled calmly.

Not long after, the figure stopped, and Yan Ci just slowly turned around.What came into view was Du Heng's extremely old face, the two of them laughed at the same time, Yan Ci said, "Where is the emperor?"

Du Heng stroked his gray beard and said...'I am right in front of your eyes. "

Yan Ci smiled lightly and shook his head, and said, "The Supreme Emperor is confused. You have already given the seat to your crown prince's son. Now, you should be the Supreme Emperor who is spending his life in Lin'an Palace."

"Live for life?" Du Heng had a deep hatred that could not be concealed on his face, and he snorted coldly, "I'm waiting to die."

Yan Ci could understand Du Heng's anger, so he was willing to give Du Heng some time, but he didn't really agree with him.

Du Heng sneered and said, "I made him the crown prince, and I made preparations to give him all the world. But what about him, he killed my son. I want to punish him, I want to punish him!"

As Du Heng spoke, he wanted to reach out and grab Yan Ci's neck. Although Yan Ci was weak, but in terms of agility, there was still a chance to hide from an old man like Du Heng.

Yan Ci instinctively backed away, and Du Heng was about to bully him.Yan Ci said while hiding, "You should know that you are going out with this step. You can't even keep your remaining prince."

Du Heng was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Since they can't defeat my unfilial son, even if they let them live in the world, they will be humiliated. It's better to let them go with me!"

Seeing that the agitation failed, Yan Ci couldn't help worrying secretly in his heart, saying, "I'm just a prime minister in name only, even if you kill me, it's not enough to shake the world. Under the leadership, live a peaceful and peaceful life. And you, will be an incompetent and stupid king scolded by history books!"

The words were in a panic, but they said what they wanted to say. For a moment, Du Heng sneered and said, "Is the history book notorious? That was when he was in power. When I return to that position, I can also arrange for the historian to take care of it." For my dead prince and prince, think of a crime of inhumanity and inhumanity. You want to scare me, so you don't take a pee to see how you look!"

Yan Ci had never been uttered such cruel words before, and he just pouted his neck and said with a blushing face, "Then what's the use of killing me, it's just that there is no way out between you father and son."

As Yan Ci spoke, he slowly stepped back, his back had already touched the handrail in front of Jin Luan's golden cave.

"Retreat?" Du Heng suddenly sneered, "You better not give me some delaying tactics. Retreat? If he had considered the retreat between the two of us, he would not have brought his own brother's head to ask me to write abdication that day. Imperial edict! He has always been the one who doesn't care about the relationship between us, father and son!"

At this moment, Yan Ci was not afraid of anything, and said, "He could ignore it that day because he had a large number of Imperial Forest Army and Gyeonggi Patrol Battalion in his hands. He could easily drive you down from that position if he didn't care about it." .

But what about you?Today, what ability do you ignore.All you have left is this life, do you really want to give it up? "

Seeing that Yan Ci had no choice but to retreat, Du Heng stepped forward suddenly, grabbed Yan Ci's neck, and said, "Then I'll tell you why I don't care. Because what he wanted at the beginning was the throne, but now I want the throne." , is to make him suffer, he tramples on my dignity, takes away my power, I want to make him suffer, I want to make him lose his beloved.

Among the ruling and opposition parties, his preference for you has long been spread.Also said I was stupid.I think he is blindfolded by lard.For a person like you, I don't even want to take a second look.Go to hell. "

As Du Heng spoke, his hands gradually exerted force. Yan Ci only felt that his neck was about to be twisted, and there was a dull pain in his chest because there was not enough air. Yan Ci gradually felt a little dizzy, and then there was endless darkness.

I don't know how long it took before Yan Ci woke up. The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was the bright yellow bed tent, and the clear pain in his neck pulled Yan Ci back to reality.A voice fell above his head, "A Ci finally woke up."

Yan Ci turned his head and saw Du Zijin's smiling eyes.Yan Ci opened his mouth to call out to the emperor, but he opened his mouth and couldn't make a sound.

"Don't talk, Ah Ci, you hurt your neck, and it will take some time to heal. What Ah Ci wants, what he wants to eat, what he wants to do, just tell me."

Yan Ci raised his hand and touched the scar between his neck, his face was full of doubts, Du Zijin knew what he was thinking, and said, "I have locked him in a secret prison, so he hurt you Ci, I should tear him to pieces. But he is still useful, and since he attacked Ah Ci, I don't want him to die so happily."

Yan Ci shook his head lightly, with countless sighs in his eyes, the father and son are really in the same line, even when people are having a hard time.It's just that everyone has their own way of dealing with things, and Yan Ci couldn't make a sound, so he had to let it go temporarily.

By the time the Taimiao worshiped the ancestors, Yan Ci could speak in a low voice.Du Zijin summoned Yan Ci to the palace early in the morning.

Said, "I will take the first step with him, and you and other ministers will follow the canopy and walk to Jingtiantai. In case they have an ambush, Ah Ci should walk in the middle of the crowd and not be too conspicuous. Be careful in everything That's good."

Yan Ci nodded one by one in response, but Du Zijin seemed still worried. He dragged Yan Ci to the inner hall, took out an object from a brocade box and said, "This is a golden silk soft armor donated by the feudal kingdom. It can resist ordinary weapons, you should quickly wear it inside. Otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t be at ease.”

Yan Ci was startled, and said, "Then what does the emperor wear to avoid danger?"

Du Zijin smiled, "Don't worry, Ah Ci, I have the world and Ah Ci, and I will never give up my life easily, as long as Ah Ci does not distract me. I am sure that I will come back to see you safe and sound."
