old attack difficult

Xue Yi didn't lie to Xiaoshutong. Everyone in the country knows that Chang'an has made great military achievements, but they don't know that he also led soldiers in the past. He was the prince of Wei Emperor since he was a child. The achievements on the soil are far inferior to those of Chang'an and the late general of the gods.

Just a few months ago, he personally brought 5 horse soldiers to Ziyun Pass. While suppressing Xianbei outside the pass, step by step, he will be exiled from Beijing. A god general, Mo Bai, was forced to die, but no one knew about it.

No one knew how paranoid and dark he was holding himself to personally cut off Changan's wings one after another, controlling the man who used to be as bright as the sun in the palm of his hand, reluctant to relax even a little bit.

Xueyi is the son of Queen Zhonggong and the eldest son of Emperor Wei. He was the crown prince of Wei State from birth.

Chang'an was born to Princess Xianbei who married into the state of Wei. She was eighteenth. He was the youngest son of Emperor Wei, and also the most favored son.

When Chang'an was 12 years old, he followed Li Zheng, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, and returned to the court after a successful battle. Everyone in Kyoto knew that the eighteenth son of the emperor, Chang'an, killed Zhang Yi's rebels with a long gun.

Xueyi still remembers that when Chang'an's life and death in Yunnan were unknown, his companion Li Qingzhang finally knelt in front of him and returned the official uniform of the prince of the East Palace to wash horses, bowed to him and left barefoot.

Before leaving, Li Qingzhang said to him:

"I wish you will be wise and mighty forever in the future."

For his own brother, he punished those who had been with him since he was a child.

When Li Qingzhang said that he was ruthless, it seemed that he was right. He couldn't even tell the difference between being merciless and not being merciless.

Later he went to the Queen of the Palace to pay his respects.

After letting all the palace people back down, Xueyi knelt in front of the queen like other ordinary children in the world, tilted her head and said softly to the queen:

"Queen, did you hear the trumpet sound of the eighteenth brother's triumphant return?"

The queen raised her eyes, her phoenix eyes were narrow and long, revealing a smile, the rouge on the end of her eyes was as gorgeous as a flower, and her vermilion lips were slightly raised, majestic and majestic:

"Xueyi, the queen mother asks you, is your eighteenth brother the eldest son?"

Xue Yi was a little surprised by the queen's question, and immediately understood what the queen meant.

He obediently replied:

"neither."

The queen raised her hand to caress Fengshen Junyi's 16-year-old son who was kneeling in front of her, and let him sit beside her.

"Since it's not the case, what is my son still worried about?"

Xue Yi tilted her body and leaned against the Queen's arms, saying in a muffled voice:

"My martial arts are not as good as my eighteenth brother. From now on, I won't be able to hold a knife or gun with this arm. My son thinks that the position of the prince is really useless."

The queen hugged Xue Yi tightly, and gently stroked Xue Yi's face with her fingers:

"Do you still remember what the queen mother said to you? War is a means, killing is a method, and the way to be a king is to use means to master the method, rather than him being reduced to a method, do you understand?"

Xue Yi bit her lip and nodded, the queen straightened Xue Yi's body so that Xue Yi could look at herself face to face.

The queen put away the smile at the corners of her mouth, the sharpness in her eyes pierced into Xue Yi's heart, and she said to Xue Yi solemnly:

"The most important thing is that, as the son of Emperor Wei, you must firmly believe that your father is not insane!" Xue Yi was shocked by what the queen said, and hurriedly knelt on the ground:

"My son doesn't dare!"

He is not afraid that Chang'an will take away everything from him, he believes in Chang'an to protect Chang'an, just like any elder brother cares for a younger brother in an ordinary family, but... but... alas.

After coming out of the central palace, Chang Mitou, the eunuch serving Emperor Wei, came over and told Xueyi to go to the Peace Palace of the Outer Court to discuss the matter of rewarding the army to return to the court tomorrow.

He sat on the chariot and moved from the central palace to the outside. Wherever the prince's guard of honor went, the palace people either avoided or knelt down to meet him.What he took for granted in the past has become extremely glaring today.

The awe he received at this moment was all brought about by his power. Now the person who surrenders to him is not Xueyi but the identity of "Prince". Anyone can be a prince. No one cares about Xueyi. It must be Xue Yi.

He has been the prince for 16 years.

As the chariot moved, his eyes slid across scenes. The palace was full of magnificent palaces, and there were many figures under the red walls and golden tiles.

He also remembered that under the laurel tree in Yuelao Temple on Qixi Festival, there was a young man who hugged him tightly and kissed his lips, saying that he loved him not because he was the crown prince or because he was his elder brother.

The difference between monarch and minister, the status of brothers, the obstacles of gender, the feelings that go against the law of nature and human relations.

Even under the sun, he still felt bone-chillingly cold.

In the Anning Palace, Emperor Wei sat upright behind the desk and carefully looked at the memorials. Although there were three provinces in the court that were responsible for government affairs, there were still many court memorials that were sent to the emperor's desk for decision-making. .

After Chang Mitou introduced Xue Yi into the Anning Hall, he retreated with all the servants in the hall, and closed the door of the main hall before leaving. The sunlight rushing into the hall outside the door was cut off by the middle of the door.

Emperor Wei put down the vermilion pen in his hand when he saw Xue Yi coming in, and sat behind the desk quietly looking at Xue Yi. Xue Yi knelt down respectfully and saluted Emperor Wei, but he couldn't get instructions from Emperor Wei to get him up for a long time.

Not daring to raise his head to look at Emperor Wei's expression, he could only kneel on the ground with his head lowered, his temples gradually becoming a little damp.

"Do you think your father is too harsh on you?"

Xu Jiuxueyi heard Wei Di's footsteps walking in front of him, Wei Di's voice came from above Xueyi's head, and what he could see in his eyes was Wei Di's bright yellow clothes.

Xue Yi crouched down:

"I don't dare." I dare not.

At this time, Xue Yi is still a little young, neither her mind nor her methods can be said to be too mature.

Seeing Xue Yi's stubborn look, Emperor Wei laughed out loud:

"Your eighteenth brother is the last thing I will leave you in the future."

Xue Yi suddenly raised his head to express his puzzlement to the calm face of Emperor Wei.

Emperor Wei went on to say:

"In the future, on the day you succeed to the throne, you will have eighteen Liwei."

Xue Yi wasn't sure what Emperor Wei said, and he couldn't be sure if it was Emperor Wei's temptation to him, so he didn't dare to answer the words rashly.

"In the future, the Eighteenth Party must have outstanding military exploits to wipe out all the differences. When you succeed to the throne, you will kill the Eighteenth Party to establish your prestige not only to solve future troubles, but also to protect the generals in the army!" Wei Di's next words almost froze Xue Yi's heart. , and Wei Di's deep and waveless eyes made Xueyi fear Wei Di for the first time.

The expressionless expression on Xue Yi's face became a little ugly, and it was with some difficulty that she said with her throat rolling:

"Father, Eighteen is your son, and also the younger brother of Erchen!"

Emperor Wei looked sternly:

"Have you forgotten the lesson of the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion in the Han Dynasty? Since the founding of our dynasty, there has been an ancestral precept that we should not separate the kings and idle clans. Because in recent years, foreigners invaded our territory and often harassed the border, so there were [-] soldiers to fight against the enemy. If he becomes dissatisfied and entangles generals in rebellion after you succeed him, wouldn’t that be another disaster? Telling you about this today is because we don’t want our father and son to separate themselves and cause unnecessary disasters.”

Xue Yi thought of the words of Wei Di, the child who always leaned in his arms and called him the prince's brother, could no longer reach his ears.

After a long time, he asked Emperor Wei:

"Why does it have to be the eighteenth brother?"

Wei Di, who was about to return to the case with his back turned to him, was stunned, and then said word by word:

"Because his mother is Princess Xianbei." Those who are not of my race must have different hearts!

At that moment Xue Yi wanted to laugh out loud, everyone in the palace thought that Concubine Lian was favored by Emperor Wei, but they didn't know that Concubine Lian and the whole Xianbei clan were used by Emperor Wei.

One year, Concubine Lian was seriously ill and almost died. Emperor Wei drove everyone away with concubine Lian in his arms and sat there for a whole day. Although Concubine Lian survived, most of her appearance was destroyed, but Emperor Wei remained the same. As usual, he has no love for Concubine Lian, and he thinks Emperor Wei really loves her.

Now, he realized that this is the love of the emperor, and this road his father walked will eventually be his destination.

Knocking his head slowly on the ground, Xue Yi always felt that he had no choice in the past, but now he realized that he really has no choice now.

There will not be any in the future!

It was his father's sorrow and his own.

The moment he came out of the main hall, he looked back at the figure in front of his father's writing desk, no matter how rotten and dim the environment was, his father was still standing high above him like a Fudo Mingwang, who would not be hurt if he didn't move.

Maybe, maybe Duke Ming also had grief in his heart, but no one knew about it.

It’s just that Xueyi didn’t know that after he left, Emperor Wei let go of the Zhubi that he had been holding on to tightly, and without the indifference and firmness in front of Xueyi, he didn’t even dare to look at the information about Xueyi and Chang’an’s Qixi Festival that was secretly handed over by someone in the East Palace. In the memorial to Yuelao Temple, he slumped on the dragon chair and muttered to himself with tears in his eyes:

"Tiger poison doesn't eat parents and children! It doesn't eat parents and children!"

After returning to the East Palace, Chang Mitou sent someone to bring the python-patterned silver armor and the cloud-chasing horse, saying that it was a reward from Emperor Wei to Chang'an, and that the prince would give it to Chang'an when he rewarded the army tomorrow.

Xue Yi smiled and ordered someone to collect the things.

The next day when Xuanwumen saw Chang An, he lightly poked Chang An's cheek and said with a smile:

"In a blink of an eye, the eighteenth brother is already this old."

The sky is blue, the sun is warm, the horns and drums are beeping, the flags are flying everywhere, and the 10,000+ soldiers who returned from the blood are majestic.

There are obviously many people, but he still feels full of loneliness.
