The emperor's heart alone

On October [-]th, a commoner sued the Chu family to the Yamen of the capital with a pleading. The matter was quickly suppressed by the Chu family.

On October 25th, someone splashed ink on the gate of the Chu family late at night and wrote, "Chu family, pay back my son's life!"

On the sixth day of November, there were rumors in the capital that the Chu family was about to fall, and the people who followed the Chu family began to tremble with fear.

On the tenth day of November, Chu Renhong entered the palace to ask to see the queen, but he could not.

On November [-]th, dozens of people beat the drum that had been placed outside the gate of Dali Temple since the founding of the Daping Dynasty. In Yurou Township, Dali Siqing accepted the case.

On November [-]th, the Minister of Dali Temple presented the pleadings to the Holy Majesty in the morning court. The Holy Majesty was furious and ordered the Minister of Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate the case, and he will find out the truth. If the matter is correct, he will be severely punished.Chu Renhong was taken back to the mansion and placed under house arrest on the spot, and all Chu family members were not allowed to leave Beijing at will.

Also on the same day, Chu Ren Qing Chu Mansion.

Chu Renqing sat down on the chair behind the table in a daze, speechless in a daze. He vaguely got the news from Chu Fang that the Chu family would fall. It happened so quickly that he was completely unprepared and almost lost his composure in today's morning.

Chu Renqing looked at the expressionless Chu Fang who had been sitting opposite him. Chu Renqing didn't know what stimulated Chu Fang these days. He had a faint feeling that he had something to do with Xu Yunjin, but he subconsciously didn't ask.At this time Chu Renqing looked at Chu Fang, hesitated for a while: "The matter of the Chu family..."

Chu Fang came to his senses, still expressionless: "Father, this matter has long been a foregone conclusion. Otherwise, what are we going to do when we break away from the Chu family? It doesn't matter sooner or later."

Chu Renqing hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed. After all, he used to be a member of the Chu family, so it was inevitable that he would feel as if he had died, but he cheered up a bit: "The emperor wants you to enter the palace immediately."

Chu Fang was taken aback: "The emperor is looking for me? What do you want me for?"

Chu Renqing shook his head, feeling a little worried: "The emperor agreed to let our family go, and he won't regret it now. As long as you speak carefully in front of the emperor, there will be no fault. Maybe the emperor asked you to just ask If you ask about Chu Renhong's family, you can just say that you don't know, and it hasn't been long since we returned to the capital, so the emperor won't blame you."

Chu Fang nodded, indicating that he understood. Under Chu Renqing's arrangement, he took a bath and changed clothes. He took a carriage to the gate of the palace, got off the carriage, and entered Changping Palace under the leadership of the eunuch who was already waiting at the gate.

"Grassman Chu Fang, see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." Chu Fang knelt down and bowed, with his head lowered, not daring to look up at the emperor above.

Shi Junji casually threw the memorial in his hand aside, and signaled all the people in the room to retreat. Chu Fang knelt on the ground and lowered his head. He felt that people from the whole room came out one after another, and even closed the door. Only he and the emperor were left, a drop of cold sweat slipped from their foreheads, no matter how you look at it, it was not a good thing, did the emperor really ask him to enter the palace for the sake of Chu Renhong's family?

"Speaking of which, you are the cousin of the Empress Zhen. It is reasonable to say that you should have met, but I didn't expect that at this time, you and I will meet for the first time."

The emperor didn't scream, so Chu Fang naturally didn't dare to get up, but Chu Fang who lowered his head was a little puzzled, I don't know if it was his illusion, he always felt that the emperor's voice was very familiar, as if he had only heard it a few days ago It looks like, but how is it possible?He is just a commoner, and he has never stepped into the palace a few times, so how could he possibly have seen the Holy Majesty who is rich in gold?

"Oh, no, you shouldn't have said that." Shi Junji's eyes stayed on Chu Fang's back for a long time, but he couldn't tell what kind of emotion he had in his eyes. Xu Yunjin couldn't bear it and asked him to let him go People, Shi Junji can't do excessive things, but he is not reconciled after all, "I and you have met, on some occasions." Shi Junji sneered, "Chu Fang, how dare you talk to me?" I rob people, I really have a lot of guts."

Chu Fang was stiff all over, and suddenly looked up at the emperor, only to see that the person wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and sitting on the dragon chair was Shi Junji or who?

Shi Junji's face is no longer a sneer, but a smug smile, as if he is very satisfied with Chu Fang's astonishment. Those who are in the upper class are all narrow-minded, and Shi Junji is the most coveted person. It is the unforgivable sin.

Chu Fang suddenly wanted to understand a lot, for example, why Xu Yunjin was so sure that the Chu family would eventually fall, why his Chu Fang family was able to escape from this catastrophe, why Xu Yunjin finally chose Shi Junji, but not him Chu Fang put.

Xu Yunjin really needs better and better people to be worthy of him, and he, Chu Fang, has not been qualified for this from the beginning.

Chu Fang calmly stood up from the ground and faced Shi Junji directly. This might be the bravest thing he has ever done in his life. How many people can be like himself in front of the Lord of the World?And that's all he can do.

"I admit that I lost Yunjin, but I think we are equal in matters concerning Yunjin." Chu Fang said slowly, "Only this time, only this time, I stand facing you and dare to face you directly." I look into your eyes, I don’t kneel down to you, I don’t fear you, I won’t treat you as a king this time, but as the person who finally made me lose the one I love.”

Shi Junji didn't mind Chu Fang's attitude. He thought that Chu Fang would no longer cause any obstacles to him, and he was one step closer to getting Xu Yunjin, so no matter how Chu Fang jumped in front of him today, Shi Junji will not be annoyed, this is the last dignity he gives to his love rival.

"You lost." Shi Jun stated the facts very calmly.

Chu Fang tilted his head and looked at Shi Junji in surprise: "No, I didn't lose." Chu Fang considered what he wanted to say, "I like Yun Jin, but Yun Jin rejected me, it's not like you It doesn’t matter. I love him, what’s wrong?” Chu Fang shook his head lightly, “I’m not wrong, and I’m not betting with you. You didn’t win, and I didn’t lose. The choice is in Yunjin’s hands In fact, he chose you instead of me, but I am not the indispensable person in his life."

Chu Fang continued softly: "I don't know what is the purpose of your coming to me this time, but I still have a question."

Shi Junji signaled Chu Fang to continue.

Chu Fang seriously asked his last question: "The queen is still seriously ill, did you do it?"

Shi Junji shook his head very simply: "It's just fueling the flames."

Chu Fang knew the answer to the last question, but he didn't know whether he was relieved or felt more dignified.

Shi Junji smiled: "You are stronger and calmer than I imagined, but unfortunately, I don't like it."

Chu Fang also smiled: "You naturally hate all my advantages, don't you? As long as I appear by Yun Jin's side for a day, you will be uneasy for a day, am I right?"

Shi Junji narrowed his eyes slightly, he didn't like Chu Fang's attitude: "Unfortunately, you won't have this chance soon."

Now that things have happened, Chu Fang has calmed down. He calmly accepts any result that Shi Junji brings to him, and he will never resist. He is already satisfied to have a chance to stand in front of the emperor disrespectful once in his life. Being able to become the emperor's rival in love and bring threats to the emperor, even if he died, Chu Fang would not live in vain.

Shi Junji threw down a memorial from the desk, which fell on Chu Fang's feet: "This is Ren Shu, take it with you, and leave the capital as quickly as possible to take office. Remember, leave early, preferably tomorrow Leave early in the morning, don't go see Yun Jin, I don't want him to see you again."

Chu Fang looked up at Shi Junji in surprise, hesitated for a moment, picked up the memorial and read it quickly, and finally couldn't help asking: "Why?" He knew that Shi Junji wanted to kill him, and he even thought After Chu Renhong's incident, Shi Junji would anger their family. Even if he was not exiled, he would be demoted from the capital. However, Shi Junji gave him a letter of appointment and asked him to become an official. Why? ?

"Of course Yunjin asked for it for you." Shi Jun was extremely dissatisfied, he still cared about Xu Yunjin's attitude towards Chu Fang, and couldn't face it calmly.

Chu Fang was silent for a long while: "... Is that so?" Then he smiled slowly, "I should thank Yun Jin for what he did for me, I should be grateful, you see, in order to prevent you from hurting me, let I'm going to be an official in another place, so I should be grateful, right?" The voice became softer as he spoke, but his heart was slowly becoming hopeless and cold as he said thanks.

Xu Yunjin asked for an official position for him. Apart from protecting himself from Shi Junji's troubles, most of all he didn't want to let himself stand between the two of them all the time. Sure enough, liking and disliking are two different things, liking is better than disliking It is much more important, and between Shi Junji and him Chu Fang, Shi Junji is indeed more important.

Shi Junji watched Chu Fang slowly close the memorial, slowly said "the minister leads the decree", turned around and left slowly, the door opened and closed, and Chu Fang's figure was nowhere to be seen at all.

Shi Jun was very able to let Chu Fang's family go, and even promised Chu Fang the right to be a foreign official, but it was for Xu Yunjin's face, and the fact is true. Never stepped into the capital again.On the one hand, it was the result of Shi Junji's secret obstruction, and on the other hand, Chu Fang didn't want to go to Beijing again.

Decades later, Chu Fang has become a local high-ranking official, and his power is unparalleled, and he is deeply trusted and relied on by the emperor far away in the capital. , More than one person asked him the reason, but he just smiled and said nothing.

As he once said, although the world is big, there is only one person who can move his heart and make him want to spend his whole life with this person, and he once met this person and lost it. How could he wrong himself to be with another person?

That was a kind of betrayal to Xu Yunjin, and even more an insult to himself.
