"Very good, the descendants of the Yang Sect, after the witch doctor, it is an unexpected joy for this king to live up to his reputation for more than two years.It is to bother Lord Yang to come to the East Palace to administer needles and medicines in the future. ”"This is a matter for the micro-ministers."
Xiao Zhaoye listened from the sidelines and never interjected.He knew that what his father needed was time to balance the forces of all parties before the emperor abdicated, and as long as the crown prince was still there, this supreme position would not be left behind.He didn't think there was anything wrong with his father's decision, the gentleman in front of him was credible but not fully trusted, and once that one percent of the carelessness happened, it would be ten out of ten deaths, and he couldn't be careless.But his heart suddenly became dazed, "Long live the thousand autumns, who knows the glory and disgrace" Since he already knows the time of return, what is there that cannot be broken?
power, fame and fortune are nothing but things outside the body, and he knows that his fate is not long, why bother thinking that if it was before, Xiao Zhaoye would think that his father was keen on power and would not swerve until death; But recently, he felt that he knew more and more about this blood father, the titular father.He seemed to see that the pair of dark eyes had also bloomed with the arrogance of youth and frivolity, and had also flowed with the tenderness of the jade tree in the wind.The father carries more of the burden of the family and the country, and the desire for supreme power and the persistence of the dominant party have become so faint in the face of death and parting.The current father seems to be living to keep the position of the prince steadily, and he thinks about the rest of the time so carefully, but he has never mentioned the most direct and simple way to usurp the throne and force the palace.It's just that he doesn't understand that if it's for the sake of the small family, he doesn't have to fight for the only throne.If it is for Daqi, the second uncle is martial arts, tolerant and benevolent, and is also the material of the emperor, why should he fortify everywhere, if he fights against each other from time to time If it is for the world, is it the situation that his father is willing to see behind him Xiao Zhaoye also secretly asked himself, that the throne has to be since he was six years old, since his grandfather ascended the throne, people have constantly told him that the golden chair, the golden palace, the Jiankang City of Eight Streets and Nine Mo, and every inch of the vast Daqi land will belong to himAs long as he behaves properly, does his duty, is filial piety and friendship, and has the world in mind to pursue power, it seems that it has become a natural habit and a means of self-preservation.It's just that when he becomes the king of this country, how many people can he protect and how many people he will lose, he asked himself over and over again, but he couldn't get a clear answer.At this moment, when he saw the shallow smile on the corner of Xiao Changmao's mouth, this chaotic thought came out like a chain of nine songs.He reluctantly calmed down, and arched his hand and said, "Then please ask Brother Yang to stay and treat my father with acupuncture, and I will go out to see Zilong first."
Father, son, retired. ”"It's fine."
There is life and there is death, and it is not fate to die sooner.Yesterday and evening were the same people, and today they are in the ghost record.The soul is scattered, and the withered form of the empty wood.Jiao'er asked for her father to cry, and her good friend touched me and cried.Gains and losses are no longer known, right and wrong, after a thousand years of peace, who knows the glory and disgrace.But when hatred is alive, it is not enough to drink.The person who was going to pass the elegy "Brother Wang" to the house first passed the word, so that as soon as Xiao Zhaoye entered the courtyard, he met his younger brother Xiao Zhaowen, who was greeted with a smile on his face.He is still small, but between his eyebrows he is very much like Xiao Zhaoye when he was a teenager, and he has become romantic.Although he is only ten years old, Xiao Zhaowen has a well-behaved appearance, proficient in the six arts, and is praised by the elders on weekdays, but he has been pampered since he was a child, and he can't help but be spoiled.Seeing his brother, the child's heart was unnaturally revealed, and he grabbed Xiao Zhaoye's sleeve and said angrily: "The eighth uncle came to trouble me, looking for me to be happy, and he said that the words I wrote were like drawing monkey paintings" "Hey you little ghost, you have a grudge" Xiao Zilong followed from behind, and slapped Xiao Zhaowen's thin back with a palm."
It's no wonder that Zhaowen is like this."
Xiao Zhaoye glanced at Xiao Zilong, "Who asked you to pick his most proud calligraphy to tease his words, but he was praised by the emperor's grandfather, you are careful to disobey the holy will" "You have to get it, it's really a brother who is not easy to mess with, a stubborn grudge, and I have no way."
The other casually said it and gave me such a big hat.Forget it, I'll take back what I just said" Xiao Zilong raised his hands and looked like he had surrendered.Xiao Zhaoye walked into the study, put his arm on Xiao Zhaowen's shoulder, and said with a smile: "But when your eighth uncle is as old as you, he is known for his literary talents, and his good handwriting is smooth, and some girls do not hesitate to ask for a word to hang in the boudoir."
Compared with him, your path is indeed shallow, so you should practice more. ”"Girl" Xiao Zhaowen's face turned red."
Hahaha, I listen to this happy Zhaowen, how old are you, your face is still so thin, you are not as good as your brother, a white-faced scholar, you can't marry a daughter-in-law" Xiao Zilong patted Xiao Zhaoye's shoulder angrily and said in a low voice, "Hehe, but don't spread my glorious deeds in the future."
After all, your eighth aunt is a vinegar jar, and since she has already understood that I am a strange commodity to live in, this is enough" Seeing that Xiao Zilong was getting more and more out of shape, Xiao Zhaoye had to stubbornly come to a new topic.He took out a black lacquered dagger from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Zhaowen, "Zhaowen, you hold this dagger" Xiao Zhaowen took the dagger, gently stroked the auspicious cloud-shaped relief lines on the sheath, and said in surprise, "The dagger given to me is exquisite, the whole body is jet black, faintly glowing with lacquer, it must be a precious good thing, what is the name of this dagger, how did Brother Wang think of it, and give me this" "This" He praised and said that Brother Wang's face was not hot, but Xiao Zhaoye still did not change his face, "Just call it ink killing."
I heard that you have learned some martial arts today, and this is for your self-defense. ”"Thank you, Brother Wang, I'm going to put it up" "You're welcome, I ordered someone to cast more than a dozen" Xiao Zhaowen had already hurried into the house and placed the dagger neatly on the shelf.He stood in the threshold and poked his head out, and saw that the eighth uncle was standing in place and pointed at Brother Wang with a wicked smile, as if he continued to laugh at his calligraphy.Immediately in a hurry, he hurriedly ran back again, grabbed Xiao Zhaoye's left hand and dragged it vigorously, "Brother Wang, come into the house, don't listen to the eighth uncle's nonsense" was pulled by him like this coldly, and his whole arm was as numb as an electric shock.Xiao Zhaoye's body stiffened for a moment, his brows furrowed slightly, and then he smiled and gently brushed his younger brother's hand away with his right hand, "Okay, Brother Wang doesn't listen to his nonsense." ”Xiao Zhaowen is a big ghost, he has already noticed that something is wrong, staring at Xiao Zhaoye's left arm hanging in his sleeve and stiffening and moving, and timidly: "Brother Wang, you" "Haha boy, you are in trouble" Xiao Zilong, who was always standing on the side, slapped Xiao Zhaowen on the back with a palm, "Your brother Wang has just been injured, how can you be allowed to tear it blindly, but you have to pay for it" Xiao Zilong's words seemed to see something, Xiao Zhaoye "chuckled" in his heart, and still smiled on his face, "Don't listen to your eighth uncle scaring people, Brother Wang is a porcelain doll can't be successful, and he can still break it and leave, Go into the house and show Brother Wang the words you wrote, whether it looks like a monkey painting or not" "Good" After dinner, I stepped out of the East Palace, the night was dark and the evening breeze was slightly cool, and the candles of every house were swaying.Xiao Zilong and Xiao Zhaoye walked on the streets of Jiankang City, and the two of them followed far behind."
You are still injured, but you came to me specially, there must be something" "It turned out that there was something, but after thinking about it, there was nothing wrong." ”"What do you mean?"
"I was thinking that maybe I could ask what the eldest brother had planned from your mouth, and then make a decision."
Now, firstly, I am afraid that I can't ask anything from you, and secondly, I have figured it out and have made a decision" Based on Xiao Zilong's understanding of himself, it seems that he has already guessed that the discord between the prince and the father and son of the king of Nanjun is just an illusion on the face, Xiao Zhaoye's heart sank, and he did not deny it, and asked: "What is the decision" "I want to quit." ”Xiao Zilong smiled lightly, "Don't blame me for not being righteous enough, it's okay to laugh at me."
At the end of the day, I'm still timid.The incident of Sambo made me understand that what about the false name of a prince, and the wealth of my family, I am still a pathetic person who can't protect my wife and children after all.As a member of the royal family, I know that I have no right to loathe all this struggle for power, but I am really afraid that this blatant arrow will one day make me regret it for the rest of my life.As long as I am in the capital, in the center of this power, whether I want to fight or not, I will be involuntarily drawn into the game" Xiao Zhaoye's eyes flashed: "You want to hide the world" "Don't worry, I haven't thought of eloping with the princess as a prince and wandering the world."
After all, with such a background, there are too many that are difficult to let go, such as glory and wealth haha" Xiao Zilong smiled, "After the death of the fourth brother, the history of Jingzhou is vacant, and I plan to invite myself to Jingzhou." ”"Since the crusade of Wang Shi, the people in the hinterland of Jingzhou have panicked, and there are often thieves and bandits in the nearby hills, and the government is in ruins.Aren't you going to take up a mess" "Why don't you believe in my ability" After Xiao Zilong joked, Zhengse said, "It's better than staying in the capital, and it's hard to be jealous."
We all understand that our father is getting old and winter is coming.When the overall situation is decided, I will come back and have a good time with the prince at that time", "Let you go out and do business, so that you don't have to worry about it every day." ”"Hey, you still taught me a lesson" Xiao Zilong made a gesture to roll up his sleeves, but he couldn't roll them up."
It's going to be a street fight, and it's a bad fight.What's more, you are injured, and I never bully the weak. ”Xiao Zhaoye still put his hands behind his back, and sneered, "See you on the shooting range another day" "I'm afraid you won't succeed" Xiao Zilong flicked his sleeves and beckoned the sedan chariot to follow, "Don't pass by" "Don't pass by." ”The moonlight is cold, the corner of the street, two soft sedan chairs, one to the north, one to the east, not in a hurry, gradually moving away, sprinkling the dark sedan chair shadow and the back of the sedan chair man, a peacock lamp quietly exudes its dim beam in the dark, the house is whispering, nephrite is fragrant.The man hugged the woman from behind, buried his head in the flowing green silk, and slowly told something.She listened without saying a word, but the slender jade hand between the mattress clenched involuntarily."
Two years later, my father chose the latter," the woman said."
You don't think it's appropriate" "Father's choice is of course undesirable for us. ”Finally, she added, "I mean, the throne. ”"I know" the name of filial piety, no matter how true or not, after all, it is a blood relative, and she is still so careful that he is afraid that he will misunderstand, it seems to have become a habit."
If you were your father, what would you choose" The woman turned over, and a pair of wonderful eyes looked straight into the man's heart."
I don't know what my father has gone through, what kind of state of mind he has, and I can't put myself in his shoes.All I know is that if this question were in front of me now, I would choose the former, no matter how sure I was. ”The man's eyes were blazing, and he replied earnestly."
Don't curse yourself," she flattened, angry."
Okay" rubbed the woman into his arms vigorously, he asked with a smile, "I don't want to know the reason" I didn't hear the answer, the man continued: "Either stay with you for a long time, or let you go as soon as possible."
It's really not interesting to entangle like that" "Don't say it anymore" grabbed his bedclothes tightly, and the slender nails were embedded in the strong muscles around his waist, and the woman shouted in her arms."
It's just a joke, you're really angry, aren't you afraid of being a little widow" "The concubine is tired, so go to sleep first." ”She replied coldly."
Alright, let's not talk about that.You go to Suijun Wangfu today, Wang Xin has mentioned to you that Zilong wants to leave Beijing as an official" The woman was silent for a long time, and finally curious: "No."
With the king of the county, he ""He wants to take over the position of the fourth uncle and be the assassin of Jingzhou." ”Xin'er didn't mention it.However, this arrangement should be very much in line with her appetite, after all, she has had a weak relationship with her mother's family recently, and she has nothing to worry about, and she can be less restrained and more comfortable when she leaves Beijing. ”She paused, and asked a little reluctantly, "If they leave, won't they?"
"I have the intention to entrap Zilong, but he has no intention of fighting, so I will just leave." ”The man was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "Anu, in fact, sometimes I really don't understand, why do you have to work so hard to sit in that seat like Zilong to avoid the edge, isn't it good that the second uncle can do better than me" "Your identity is different from that of the King of Suijun, even if you don't want to fight, will they let you go easily, you really have to hide to the ends of the earth, you can let go of everything here, the overall situation is undecided, you can only go with the flow and protect yourself."
When the overall situation is decided, whether the Ninety-Five Emperor calls for wind and rain, or whether a prince is controlled by others, these are all unchangeable facts, can you be so resigned to fate" "I don't know that since I know about my father's illness, I think about it from time to time, but there is always no conclusion.Anu, which kind of "I" daughter's boudoir private language is still in my ears today, the woman's heart is painful, and her tone is as usual, "The road ahead is unpredictable, I can't say that if the king of Ling can't tolerate you, won't he kill himself" He heard the strangeness between the words: "Anu, you actually don't want me to ascend the throne, don't be so reluctant to convince yourself why do you say it." ”"I don't have it, I don't know" buried her head in the man's arms, but fortunately no one could see her bewildered expression at this time.As if he had guessed something, the man hooked the corners of his mouth with satisfaction, and said softly, "I know." ”"I know what I'm sleepy, so I'll go to sleep first," the woman muffled and stopped answering
