Poor little in the Shura field

An idea popped into his head, but he couldn't ask.

He is a minister, and Yunkang is the emperor, so it would be disrespectful to ask.

Cen Guixuan forced himself to look away and return his attention to the emperor in front of him, but he failed. He was thinking almost uncontrollably, what the hell did Xue Yu and Yun Kang do?

One hand has become like this, what about the other places?Could it be worse?

He thought about several possibilities impetuously, and when he thought that Xue Yu might be the one who took the initiative, he pursed his lips downward.

Yun Kang had already thought of how to cure the little prince, he raised his eyelids, looked at Cen Guixuan who was nodding his head and said nothing, and ordered: "Go and tell him, I will check how he is doing at the end of this month." So, if it is unsightly, I will teach it myself from next month."

The little prince is lawless, and what he fears most is his elder brother, who treats his words as golden rules every time.

Cen Guixuan cupped his hands, but there was no joy on his face, and he said in a low voice, "Yes."

Yun Kang hummed: "Go out and ask the people outside to clean up these things."

He was referring to the leftover lunch on the table. Just now, Cen Guixuan was surprised that the taste of the dishes was too different from that of Yunkang. Now that he thought about it, the lunch was not prepared for Yunkang at all.

Cen Guixuan pursed his lower lip again, his lips turned pale, he cupped his hands and stepped back, before leaving the hall, he glanced at the bed.

The servant took out the untouched lunch, leaving behind a bowl of cold medicinal food.

Yun Kang clicked his tongue and strode to the bedside, wanting to wake him up and drink the medicine. He lifted the quilt, and just uttered a word, his expression suddenly paused.

Some people are born to be incapable of drinking, like Xue Yu, who can't drink at all, and fall asleep very quickly once they drink.

I can fall asleep so bored.

His eyes were tightly closed, his eyelashes were overgrown, his forehead was sweating, his hair was wet and stuck close to his clear face, his green lips were so ripe from his kiss, and their swollen petals rubbed against his quilt , the smell of being smothered came out.

Yun Kang looked at it for a while, help Xue Yu cover the quilt again helplessly, then hugged him up on the quilt, and lay down comfortably on the pillow.

It was clearly his territory, but his table was used for others to eat, and his bed was also used for others to sleep in. He could only use his own table when it was not in use.

Yun Kang was silent for a few seconds, then returned to the imperial table, opened the scroll and read it again.

Xue Yu fell into a deep sleep and didn't wake up until Shen Shi. When he woke up, he really felt changes in two body parts. First, his mouth hurt, and second, he seemed to be able to slowly control the shape of his legs.

"Are you awake?" Yun Kang glanced over, the color of his lips had faded, he had tidied up his clothes, as if he was about to go out, "The medicine has just warmed up, drink it and go back."

Xue Yu nodded sleepily, removed the quilt, got off the ground and put on her shoes, walked over slowly and took the medicine to drink, Yun Kang had to meet a minister later, he didn't stay long after drinking, and went back to his palace .

……

outside the capital.

A group of people who secretly left the palace appeared in the sea near Lanshui Mountain.

Although Xin Guo had a fatuous monarch, his treasury was very rich, and he never cut down on clothing and food. Even the boats were made of the best materials, and the boats would be stable no matter how big the sea was.

At this moment, at the bow of the boat, an old man with white hair and beard is leaning on the side of the boat and looking into the distance. His face is old, the skin around his eyes has lost its elasticity, becomes shriveled and wrinkled, and his eyes have become very cloudy, but at some point , and seems to be able to see the sharp edge.

It seems to be old, but it doesn't seem to be that old.

If anyone came to the palace randomly, he would be able to recognize who he was.

Qin Tianjian, who has served Xin Guo for many years.

Zhao Chuxi.

There were footsteps behind him. It was a young man who passed some dry food to Zhao Chuxi, and couldn't help asking: "Master, Your Majesty said before that only one mermaid is enough for Xin Guo. Why do we still come here?"

Zhao Chuxi took the dry food, stroked it twice and didn't eat it. Instead, he glanced at his little apprentice: "I didn't come here to catch sharks."

The little apprentice was at a loss and said: "If it is not to find a new shark, then there is no reason to come."

He muttered twice, never thinking of getting any answer from Zhao Chuxi, he never understood his master, and he would never tell him what the master thought.

But Zhao Chuxi said a few more words to him today for the first time: "I told you that everything we do is for Da Xin, and this trip is no exception. The sharks around Your Majesty are hidden dangers to Xin Guo. I’m here to see if this hidden danger is true.”

The little apprentice widened his eyes and remembered something: "Master, the dream His Majesty told you about is a hidden danger?"

That day when Zhao Chuxi was resting in the court, Yun Kang came to him once and had a long talk with him, saying that he had been having frequent dreams recently, and that the mermaid in the dream seemed to have the intention of disrupting the government. After staying in the imperial city for a few days, he then Caused an unprecedented mighty.

The turmoil caused by Cen Guixuan.

The dream was very short, it was made up of several fragments connected together, not much information was revealed, except that the mermaids were a scourge and that Cen Guixuan would rebel, he didn't know anything else.

Zhao Chuxi broke off a piece of pastry, swallowed it with clear water, and replied, "Dream is one of them. Second, Imperial Physician Ji is worried about whether the shark will be poisoned."

The little apprentice frowned, and blurted out: "Since the shark has so many hidden dangers, why did His Majesty insist on bringing it back? Wouldn't it be better not to go to Lanshui Mountain?"

The dry thick eyelids slowly lifted, and Zhao Chuxi cast a look full of emotion, which carried a warning to him and a reminder of inexplicable meaning.

While the little apprentice was silent, he suddenly remembered that secretive relationship.

It is no secret that Yun Kang and the first emperor are at odds in the imperial city.

The first emperor was very ambitious. Most of the territory of the Xin Kingdom was conquered by him during his reign. Like the current Zhuojue, he burned, killed, looted, and bullied others. .

It was all in exchange for the heads of thousands of innocent people.

If you want to end the war, you have to submit to him.

After the death of the first emperor, his posthumous title was fierce. He was a savage, and he was savage to the people, as well as to his own concubine. The one who suffered the most in the harem was Yun Kang's mother concubine, who was also the queen at that time.

The queen was born in a famous family, and her descendants have been her confidants for generations. She is gentle, knowledgeable, and a well-known beauty in the capital. Later, because of her outstanding appearance, she was favored by the late emperor, and she married into the palace with red make-up.

Who would have thought that this marriage would not lead a happy life without worrying about food and clothing, but would be the beginning of a nightmare.

The first emperor loved her face so much that he chose her dormitory on the first night when he flopped his cards. At that time, she was very happy. Like all newly married women, she was shy and shy. All the longing.

That night she met the emperor whom she had met a few times, and it was also that night that her dream was shattered.

She remembered the pity and regretful expression on the eunuch's face when he came to report to the emperor that he had turned over her sign. At first she didn't understand, but this day she understood everything.

I understand why some concubines in the palace are yellow and thin, and why they are weak.

The source is all because of the emperor in front of him who loves to pinch her neck and abuse her while kissing her.

Several times, she thought that she would die in the imperial city and never see her father and mother again, but no, every time she had her last breath, the emperor who had pinched her so bruises would get mad Mercy let her go.

Then he gently wiped her tears, and warned her not to speak out with kindness and strength.

The family she relied on and the aristocratic family that the family clung to all focused on literature and business, and had no military power. If she wanted her family to be safe, she could only chew up all the humiliation she had suffered and swallowed it back to her stomach.

This is the way of the world, a beautiful woman can step into a cage because of a face, and can also get blessings because of a face.

Her self-discipline made the emperor very satisfied with her, and her concubine position was promoted all the way. A large box of rewards was brought into the mansion under the envious eyes of everyone. My parents thought she was doing well, and as time passed, She also numbs herself to be content with the status quo.

Occasionally, a few times when she went back to the house, A Niang would see a little bruise on her arm with sharp eyes, and ask her how it got here, but she would comfort her with a smile, because the light was turned off at night and she couldn't see the road.

A Niang was repeatedly fobbed off by her, although she was suspicious, she didn't think deeply about it.

The emperor has recently provoked many wars, all of which were small countries, news of success came from the frontier, banquets in the palace were held one after another, the emperor was drunk every night, as soon as the soldiers left, he threw things, kicked doors, and ate people He walked into her bedroom like a posture.

The drunken emperor prefers to use brute force. She seemed to be bleeding, and seemed to faint, and finally was woken up with a whip.

She suffered several nights of abuse, and the meat hidden under her clothes was rotten and green. Every morning when she looked in the bronze mirror, she would have the idea of ​​hanging the white silk on the beams of the house, and it would be a one-and-done solution, but he still had ah Father and mother.

Even sadder, she was pregnant.

A Niang believes in Buddhism and in cause and effect, she cannot let this poor child die with her.

The arrival of the child made the emperor stop the atrocities against her. There may be another concubine who is going to suffer, but she has no time to sympathize with others. She puts all her heart and soul into the new life in her belly.

She was weak, and she drank a lot of anti-pregnancy soup according to the words of Wen Po, but on the day of delivery, there were still many conditions, messy footsteps, chaotic voices, and her own breathing, and finally walked through the gate of hell for a while. Only then did the child be born.

The emperor named the child Yunkang.

With the glory of the queen's position, Yunkang has received enough attention since he was born. The food and clothing are the best, and the nanny is also carefully selected. When he grows older, there will be no shortage of people to teach him Mandarin, Teach him martial arts.

The rotten flesh on her body has healed a lot during the confinement period, except for some scars that can no longer be removed, and the slightly loose flesh on her stomach, she is still one of the best beauties in the capital.

So the thing that the concubine in the palace was equivalent to entering the cold palace after she became pregnant did not happen to her, the emperor would still come, and when she recovered a little, that hand climbed up her neck again, reminding her of countless midnight dreams Back to the suffocation.

She still pretended to be nonchalant, taught her child to read, made her favorite pastries, and brought her favorite rattle. The little prince was beautiful, and every time she saw her, she giggled, and her brows melted to accept her. A good billet.

It was also in front of Yun Kang that the queen, who had always been like a walking corpse, smiled a little more.

In the 17th year of the reign of the first emperor, Yunkang was 12 years old. She had aged a lot this year, her shocking appearance was covered with wrinkles, and the emperor came less frequently.

She took a breath, thinking it was okay, this is what she always wanted.

That night, she dreamed for a long time that when she was a child, her mother was buying candied haws for her, and there was a fortune-telling booth next to her. The gentleman glanced at her, shook his head and said that her life was not going well, and she would die in depression in the future.

A Niang pulled her away and scolded the fortune-teller for talking nonsense and opening his mouth indiscriminately.

She also felt that the gentleman was scaring him, but when she woke up the next day, she thought that what the gentleman said was probably true.

And what made her become like this is the current emperor, the emperor who has been killing people for half his life, first stabbed her with a knife, and then pointed the finger at her father.

Dad was not in the court and did not make troubles, but because he had no intention of boating twice with a general who had an anti-Xin tendency, he was framed for rebellion. Several officials joined forces to ask the emperor to remove Dad from his position.

She felt it was absurd, and knew that her father would never rebel, so she hurried to the emperor to persuade her, but she never thought that she would be kicked out because of her old age, and later, she could not even see the late emperor.

Immediately afterwards, her father was imprisoned, her mother was seriously ill in bed, and she was locked in the palace and could not go out.

She didn't cry, nor did she clamor to see the emperor, she just stayed in the dormitory in a daze all day long, ate a few mouthfuls of cold food and slept until the next morning, the cycle repeated.

A month later, Yun Kang came and happily showed her the newly learned martial arts.

The little prince has grown up, and in a few years he will reach the crown, and his five sense organs have grown. In a few moments, he can even see the charm of the emperor, the sharp eyebrows, and the tone of speech, anyone who sees it will say The tiger father has no dogs and sons.

For some reason, she suddenly screamed, threw things, smashed bowls, yelled and pushed Yun Kang out, and refused to see Yun Kang no matter what.

Yun Kang was led back in a daze, and when he passed by a lake, he saw his own face, which was almost like the face of the emperor.

He was the governor long ago and had always known the situation of his mother and concubine, so he understood it almost instantly.

He looks so much like the emperor.

Mother doesn't like the emperor, so she doesn't like him either.

But he is different, he will not hurt his mother and concubine, Yun Kang was frightened and uneasy, trotted back to the bedroom, called mother concubine at the door flatteringly, said that when he grew up, he would take her to the Western Regions to play, and said he would Buy her a bunch of accessories.

He stuck to the window and kept a close eye on the movement inside, while carefully talking a lot, until his mouth was dry, and he got a cold "don't come again" from the concubine mother.

In the same year, Yunkang suffered disasters, and his status in the palace plummeted. Under the emperor's disregard, his food was cut short. The other princes who couldn't understand him ridiculed him as a dog in the water, and laughed at his mother and concubine whose face was wrinkled like a sausage. No wonder the father didn't even want to see him.

Yun Kang fought with them, he did it on purpose, deliberately caused disputes, deliberately let himself suffer, and ran to the mother concubine covered in mud and blood, in order to let the mother concubine feel sorry for him, it doesn't matter if he doesn't feel bad, just talk can.

Perhaps his face was swollen from the beating, which blurred his face. Concubine Mu didn't shut the door for him anymore, and took out ointment to wipe his wound, but to his disappointment, Concubine Mu didn't talk to him, stop beating, it hurts I didn't say a word about it not hurting.

Concubine Mu's face is haggard, she walks lightly, and she can't even hold the ointment firmly. Yun Kang has seen people who are about to die, and her condition is very different from that of Concubine Mu.

He was still young, looking at such a concubine mother, his heart was pounding, but he didn't know what to do. He could only provoke the prince over and over again in exchange for a chance to meet the concubine mother.

He beat up several princes until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, and he was also injured so badly that he couldn't see it. He paid such a high price, and he waited for the emperor's punishment before his mother and concubine could talk to him.

Yun Kang was punished to contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors in his dormitory.

He was fined for half a month as soon as he was fined. During this period, the emperor didn't visit him, and he might have even forgotten him. Yun Kang didn't think about giving in.

The two father and son had a blush after this incident, and everyone in the palace guessed that the relationship between the two would be like this in the future.

The turning point of the matter happened on a cloudy day, and the news that the queen was critically ill spread out without warning.

Everyone expected this day to come, and no one was surprised. There was only one place where Yun Kang slammed on the door and asked the servant to call the emperor, saying that he was willing to apologize and get along with the princes. He only made one request, Let him meet the concubine mother.

The slave called him according to his order, but the man didn't call him.

He asked coldly where the emperor was, but the servant hid it, sweating and said that the emperor drank too much wine last night and was still sleeping.

Without the emperor's permission, the guards did not dare to release Yun Kang, and Yun Kang also missed the last meeting with his mother and concubine.

The empress is devoted to death, and death, which ordinary people dare not think of, is a kind of relief for her. Yunkang knows, and because of knowing, he hates the emperor even more. The relationship between father and son is in dire straits.

No. In the fifth year of 20, Yunkang was the crown. He was smart and smart since he was a child, and he was accomplished in martial arts and strategy. At this age, he won several battles.

Not only because he can fight, but also because of the discomfort that cannot be ignored when getting along with him.

Yun Kang can smile at everyone, and also greets the emperor who indirectly killed his mother and concubine with a smile. He respects his father and emperor, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor never gives him a good face. Every time he sees him, he is not angry. Keeping your eyes open means closing your eyes and pretending to be asleep.

It's not that he doesn't want to speak, but that he can't speak. The emperor is strong and strong, but he suddenly suffered from a strange illness a few months ago. The illness made him unable to speak and legs, and he had to lie in bed all day long.

Some dared to secretly chew their tongues, saying that the emperor had committed too many crimes, and that retribution was coming, and he might not survive the next month.

Some people began to speculate which prince the emperor would like more, and the folks opened a gambling house, most of which bet on Concubine Shu's youngest son, and the votes of the other princes were evenly distributed, except for Yunkang who didn't have a single vote.

In less than half a month, the emperor passed away, and those who participated in the gambling game waited and watched the movement in the city.

They waited left and right, and finally got the content of the will, which clearly stated that the emperor would pass the seat to Yunkang.

The whole city was shocked.

This posthumous edict has two functions. On the surface, it is a normal succession of the throne, but in fact, it reveals the truth of the emperor's sudden illness, but no one dares to mention it, because the battle between emperors has always been like this, and there are injuries and deaths. .

Yunkang's enthronement ceremony was simple. After enthronement, he first reshuffled the civil and military officials, and then refused to listen to the reason. The court executed several dog officials who lobbied the late emperor to dismiss loyal ministers.

As the saying goes, if there is a father, there must be a son, and if the father has mental illness, so will the son.

Everyone could see how tired Yun Kang was of the Da Xin brought down by the late emperor. He didn't want to interfere with Da Xin's affairs, and he was happy to see Da Xin go to perish.

So even though he had that dream, he still went to hunt the shark.

This is revenge against the late emperor.

Seeing that the territory he fought for was destroyed in his hands, he feared that there would be no peace even under the Nine Springs.

"But I think His Majesty sometimes doesn't want Da Xin to perish," the little apprentice muttered, "After all, there are family members of the former empress in the city. If Da Xin perishes, they will definitely be displaced."

Zhao Chuxi supported the side of the boat, and said coldly: "These things should not be discussed by you and me, go, steer the boat in another direction."

The little apprentice said: "Understood, Master."

The boat quickly sailed in the opposite direction under the control of the little apprentice. Zhao Chuxi focused on looking up at the sky. After a moment, the overlapping clouds suddenly rolled out a halo of orange-red gradient.

Zhao Chuxi moved his ears and immediately lowered his head. On the sea not far away, a wave split the water in half and slid towards the bow at a constant speed.

The boat was swayed left and right by the water waves, Zhao Chuxi resisted the swelling in his stomach, and said to the little apprentice with concentration: "Go back immediately!"

Hearing the anxiety in his tone, the little apprentice didn't dare to slack off, and immediately took the helm. Fortunately, they didn't drive the boat too far, and before the sea broke into more waves, they landed smoothly.

Zhao Chuxi staggered a few steps in, and as soon as he reached a safe place where the tide did not rise, he immediately wrote something on the prepared paper, then put two fingers to his mouth, and let out a muffled and long whistle leaked from the lips.

A few seconds later, the pigeon with soft fur landed on his arm.

Zhao Chuxi stuffed the rolled up paper to the pigeon's feet, raised his hand, and the pigeon flew away with flapping wings.

There was only one sentence scrawled on the piece of paper sent to the capital.

In Lanshui Mountain, a vision appeared in the sky, and the merman was cremated quickly.

……

It's getting late.

The watchman slowly tapped his clapper to indicate that it was the first watch.

Yun Kang returned to the hall after seeing the minister.

He squeezed the sore brows, changed into the underwear he used for sleeping, listened to the nonsense for several hours, he was a little irritable, and he drank some water to barely feel better.

He had the habit of reading before going to bed. There were books on the table that he hadn't finished reading the night before. He picked them up casually and opened them by the light.

After finishing this book, the candle was half lit.

Yun Kang's sleepiness was still not deep, so he picked up a few more memorials and looked at them. When he turned to the third one, someone knocked on the window lattice, very lightly, like a kitten with a soft foot on it clapped.

The brows raised slightly, the man thought for a few seconds, then put down the memorial after a while, walked to the window, and opened the lock.

Outside the window, Ruan Xiaotuan was leaning against the window, looking up with a white and beautiful face, resting his chin on his hand, as if he had just woken up, and his voice was still vague: "I'm having a nightmare, I'm a little scared, Can I sleep with you tonight?"
