The days of staying alone in the dormitory to recuperate are very boring, even if it is a person like Ji Liangchen, he also deeply understands a feeling of loneliness.Ji Liangchen knew that he was a boring person, although he was not ignorant of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but for the king of a country, these vassal and elegant pastimes themselves were boring, even if he had nothing to do now, he was not interested in pondering those elegant things at all.He is both civil and military, and he is strategic, these words of praise are not talking about him, so he will neither retreat and meditate, nor can he force himself to study the art of war and strategy to pass the time, so when he has nothing to do in the dormitory, he can only stare at the curtain in a daze, and then let the loneliness of loneliness and emptiness drown him a little bit, as if he was thrown into an abyss without light, unable to get out, unable to escape, until the anxiety in his heart gradually turned into numbness, and all hope turned into despair.…… Imprisoned.After the power of the king of a country was hollowed out, he was imprisoned in the deep palace and was not free, such a thing is actually normal, and there is no shortage of such precedents in history, but Ji Liangchen probably never thought that he would be treated like this one day.He is the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty, his duty is to deal with the government, in addition, he actually does not have the courage to become the king of a country, if it were not for the protection and support of the emperor's uncle over the years, he knew that with his own ability, it would be impossible to sit on the throne.He always knew this fact.Therefore, when the government no longer needed him to deal with it, and when the imperial uncle finally lost patience with him, Ji Liangchen realized very clearly that he was not far from death.Uncle Huang won't kill him, but he himself can't live.What is the difference between dying when you lose the meaning of life, when there is no longer hope in life, and when you no longer have even worries and thoughts?
The corners of his mouth slowly raised a calm arc, but a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, Ji Liangchen curled up on the soft couch, sat on his knees, and was quietly in a daze."
Your Majesty, the servant brought dinner."
Ji An's voice sounded outside, and although his tone was as respectful as ever, Ji Liangchen had already been numb to hearing it, and he didn't respond when he heard it.Responding or not will not change anything, so why not save some effort?
Day after day eat, bathe, go to the toilet, sleep.It seems that in the long life of a person, only these four things are the most worth worrying about.lost his freedom, but his treatment was no different from before, he still ate imperial delicacies, wore golden silk dragon robes, lived in the most noble and luxurious palace in the palace, and was still respectfully served by people in bathing and dressing......
But Ji Liangchen really can't think of what it means to live like this?
Ji An walked in with the imperial meal box, took the imperial meal out of the food box with a neat movement, and set it on the ebony dining table on the inside of the screen, then packed up the food box, walked over and bowed back, "Your Majesty, it's time to eat." ”He had done these movements countless times, day after day, and he couldn't be more familiar.In the past, Ji Liangchen was also very cooperative, Ji'an said that when dinner time came, he would go to dinner, and when the bathing time came, he would go to bathe, and when bedtime time came, he would go to bed......
But today, Ji Liangchen suddenly became a little tired and annoyed.He raised his eyes, looked at the respectful Ji'an in front of him, and said gently: "How long has my body been recuperating?"
”In fact, what he wanted to ask was how long he had been confined in the dormitory, but he thought that such a way of questioning might frighten the timid eunuch in front of him, so his tone was much more tactful.Although, he himself is not sure if Ji'an is really cowardly."
It's been a month and a half since I returned to the emperor."
Ji An bowed his head and said, "You take care of the dragon's body, don't think about other things." ”Take care of your dragon?
Ji Liangchen smiled, "What dragon body?"
I'm not even a bug right now. ”With a plop, Ji Anden knelt down in fright, "The emperor is angry!"
Damn the minions!
”Ji Liangchen looked at him silently.It seems to be an unwritten rule in the palace, the master says the wrong thing, the damn is the slave, the master is in a bad mood, the damn is still the slave, and when he doesn't know how to answer, a sentence of "the slave should die" seems to save the disadvantage.Ji Liangchen sighed, and the sadness in his heart grew stronger.Raising his head, looking at the golden splendor around the palace, carved railings and paintings, Ji Liangchen's eyes were barren and desolate."
Ji'an."
He spoke lightly, his voice was as gentle as ever, but he no longer had the warmth he had before, and became calm and empty, "You've been by my side for three years, haven't you?"
”Ji An bowed his head and replied respectfully: "It's been three years and six months." ”"Really?"
Ji Liangchen chuckled, "Then can you tell me what kind of person Uncle Huang is?"
”"The emperor forgives his sins!"
Ji An kowtowed in fear, "The slave doesn't dare to speak." ”"Don't dare to speak out......
Ji Liangchen pulled his lips and sighed helplessly, "It seems that your fear of the imperial uncle is also deep-rooted, so I won't embarrass you."
But you don't dare to say, so I'll say, you're only responsible for listening, but it's okay, right?
”Ji'an's face changed slightly.He didn't know what was wrong with the emperor today, but such an emperor made him feel uneasy for no reason."
What kind of person Uncle Huang is, in fact, I haven't seen through it until now."
Ji Liangchen leaned back, leaning lightly on the soft couch, looking at the fragrant incense burner not far away, as if he was not aware of Ji An'an's uneasiness at all, and opened his mouth directly, his calm voice with a hint of vicissitudes of life, "I can only vaguely guess one thing until now, it turns out that in the entire court and even the rivers and lakes of the Great Zhou, all the people who can be called a hero are actually eight or nine times out of ten they were once the house slaves of the imperial uncle." ”When the words fell, he suddenly frowned and shook his head slowly, "No, not once, but it has always been, no matter how full the wings of those house slaves are, probably no one has ever dared to betray the imperial uncle and set up their own door, right?"
”Ji An raised his head and said in a hurry, "Your Majesty, let's eat first, it will be cold later-" "Uncle Huang is terrible, I can feel it from Qin Fengyang's attitude. ”Ji Liangchen was talking to himself, and he didn't seem to hear what Ji An was saying at all, "Uncle Huang never cares about anyone's life and death, and his methods of punishing his subordinates are cruel and ruthless, so even Qin Fengyang, a high-ranking prime minister, feels fear from the bottom of his bones when he mentions Uncle Huang." ”Ji An's face turned a little pale, and he wanted to stop the emperor from continuing, but just listening to these words, he felt a chill all over his body.
