After entering the summer, the weather in Anyang is like a child. The sun is still shining brightly at noon. In the afternoon, there is a strong wind and dark clouds roll in. After a while, the bean-sized raindrops fall from the sky, and it lasts until the evening, when the rain curtain gradually recedes. It turned into a patter of rain and fog, enveloping the city of Anyang.

Holding an umbrella, the little emperor stood among the many magnificent houses in the imperial city, stepping on the water that was not as high as the soles of his thick-soled boots. If you catch a cold, the little one can't bear it."

The little emperor ignored him, and continued to step on the water, all the way forward.

Concubine Xian quietly returned to her palace, and she learned from the maid that the little emperor had gone out in the rain, and no one could persuade him.Concubine Xian nodded, changed her clothes, and followed the direction they said, after searching for a long time, she finally found the little emperor near Lenggong.

The little emperor was very excited when he saw her, handed the umbrella to the manager behind him, and ran over directly.

Concubine Xian didn't dare to delay, she hurriedly greeted the little emperor with an umbrella, pulled out the little emperor under her umbrella, took out a soft handkerchief, and wiped the rainwater from the little emperor's face, "Your Majesty, why are you in such a good mood today? Come out to watch the rain?"

The little emperor shook his head, "I'm here to see the water."

"Look at the water?"

The little emperor hummed and pointed to the ground. "The people from the Ministry of Industry told me that the imperial palace is considered the best in the world when it comes to drainage works. It is rare that there is such a heavy rain that lasts all afternoon. I want to see if it is what they said. "

"What was the result?" Concubine Xian asked.

The little emperor smiled happily, "It's really good, maybe even if it rains for half a month, there won't be water in the palace." After speaking, he suddenly saw Concubine Xian's clothes were very thin, and she probably walked in a hurry. The skirt was already soaked by the rain, and the smile immediately withdrew, "Shuang'er, what are you doing here? What if you catch a cold under such heavy rain?"

Concubine Xian pursed her lips, pulled his sleeves, looked up at him, and complained in a low voice: "Why did Your Majesty come out in the rain? What if you catch a cold?"

The little emperor immediately guessed why Concubine Xian was here, glanced at the chief eunuch beside him, the chief eunuch quickly lowered his head, he didn't want to call Concubine Xian, but there are only two people in this world who can stop the emperor, one is Concubine Xian , one is the son-in-law, and the son-in-law will go back, so he can only go to find the concubine Xian.

Fortunately, the little emperor didn't blame him, but just took the umbrella from Concubine Xian's hand, wrapped him in his arms, blocked most of the wind and rain, and brought him back to the imperial study, which is relatively close to here.

The chief eunuch ordered someone to fetch Concubine Xian's clothes, and the little emperor and concubine Xian were both wearing obscene clothes and wrapped in a thin blanket, sitting around the stove looking at the new sketches drawn by the little emperor recently.

The little emperor was rambling on, and Concubine Xian was listening and putting forward her own opinions. When the two chatted harmoniously, Concubine Xian suddenly said, "Today, the empress dowager summoned the son-in-law."

The little emperor didn't even raise his head, "My mother has always been kind to Yang Jue, and it's nothing unusual for someone to come over every few days."

"But..." Concubine Xian hesitated to speak.

"But what?"

Concubine Xian showed hesitation, "Didn't the son-in-law tell you?" As for what she said, she was stuck and didn't say anything.Concubine Xian has always been frank. Seeing her like this, the little emperor was immediately aroused and asked her, "What's the matter?"

Concubine Xian then said: "Today the Empress Dowager summoned the son-in-law not to tell the family routine, but she discovered something, something that the son-in-law has been hiding all along."

As she said that, she told about the fact that the princess is a man, and of course, how the queen mother persecuted the princess' biological mother. In order to protect the princess, the princess nanny found a baby girl who lied about the princess's gender in order to protect the princess. The queen mother fought wits and courage, and finally sent the princess out of the palace when she was full moon, and raised her carefully.

Hearing this, the little emperor put down the sketch in his hand, and his face was a bit uneasy, "That is to say, if it is not the queen mother, the person sitting in my position is the imperial sister... the imperial brother?"

"That's right." Concubine Xian lowered her head to pick up the sketch he had put on the ground, rolled it up carefully in her hands, and said in a more cautious tone, "The son-in-law knew about these things early on, and the concubine thought that with the relationship between you and the son-in-law, Your son-in-law told you earlier."

Before the words finished, the little emperor suddenly slapped the low table next to him with a loud slap. The loud sound made Concubine Xian startled, and the little emperor turned to look at her, "Although Yang Jue often blames you for indulging my hobbies , However, I have never said a single word of yours is bad in private, you are saying such things now, you just want to tell me that Yang Jue knew that the princess was a man but did not report it, and he has a rebellious heart."

"Chenqie..." Concubine Xian wanted to say something else.

The movement just now has alarmed the chief eunuch outside the door, that man is a cowardly fat man, the son-in-law has repeatedly told him that he must protect the emperor, and he must not be careless in any disturbance, so he hurriedly led dozens of guards to rush came in.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter!"

The little emperor was already angry, and when he turned his head, he saw a large group of people in front of him, and all of these people were selected by Yang Jue himself. Yang Jue has not only been conscientious in handling government affairs for him all these years, but also his safety. Once I take it to heart, since the person I love the most provokes my relationship with him so much.

The more the little emperor thought about it, the angrier he became, he kicked over the low table directly, "Putting on the shelf, I want to leave the palace!"

……

Yang Jue's body was messed around by someone all afternoon, and there were marks of love all over his body. As soon as he returned to the princess mansion, before he had time to take a bath, he was stopped by the people below, "My son-in-law, you are back, Mr. Baiyafengbai The person you have supported has been waiting for you in the flower hall all afternoon."

Yang Jue had helped Bai Yafeng before, and the two had a good relationship. However, every time Bai Yafeng came to the door, he would hand over greeting cards. This was the first time for such a sudden visit, especially when they waited for him all afternoon. After thinking about it, I didn't bother to change clothes, and followed that person directly to the flower hall.

"The next official sees the son-in-law."

People salute.

Yang Jue hurriedly stepped forward to help people, but the description of his subordinates was incomplete, not only Bai Yafeng and other people who had received his favor came, but also two or even the elders of the three dynasties, he was a son-in-law and couldn't afford them A word of disgrace.

After Yang Jue helped the two old people up, he turned around and asked someone to bring out the good tea from the princess mansion, and then he just wanted to be polite.

"Master Lin, Master Li..."

Master Lin immediately interrupted him, "It's already at this time, are you planning to keep the secret?"

Yang Yan was stunned for a moment. He had concealed a lot of things, and it was not clear which one this Master Lin was referring to.

He was thinking about it, when Bai Yafeng opened his mouth, "We all know that His Highness is a man, you have been wronged, son-in-law."

It was this.

Yang Jue thought, since the news that the princess is a man has reached the queen mother, it is not surprising that these powerful officials heard the news. However, the fact that the princess is a man has nothing to do with them coming to find him?

"My son-in-law, what you have done in the past five years for your ministers, for the soldiers in northern Xinjiang, for the common people, for Da Chu, the people below cannot see, they all think that the person who made such a feat is today Your Majesty, the old minister sees it clearly. The son-in-law is the country and the king, and he does not seek fame or profit, but have you ever thought about yourself?"

He didn't say anything, and he didn't ask for anything. If one day, the little emperor suddenly took back all the privileges given to him, he would have nothing.

"Or..." The old minister seemed to think of something suddenly, and his eyes suddenly turned red, "Could it be that glass of poisonous wine you were waiting for?"

Hiding behind the scenes, he won fame and power for the little emperor, so that the princess could not find a reason to replace him justifiably, and Yang Jue himself, having done so much, already knew that he would be suspected sooner or later, but as long as he could hold on to the throne, even He died without complaint or regret.

Thinking of this, the old man burst into tears, "My son-in-law is Gao Yi, but is the current Majesty really worthy of you?"

Many people don't know the virtues of the little emperor, but these people in the flower hall have some understanding. They know very well that if there is no Yang Jue in front of them, not only many of them will not be able to achieve this position, but even the people in the court will be able to compete with each other. It's a lot of chaos now.

In the past few years, the floods in Jiangzhou, the pests in Yuzhou, and the war in northern Xinjiang, which one, which one was not a good result of the game between the son-in-law and some people in the court?

But how many people know these things?

He has long heard that the princess and son-in-law are deeply in love with each other. A few days ago, the princess even almost died because of the poison in the son-in-law. Such affection cannot impress the son-in-law.

The son-in-law was still for the sake of the little emperor, sacrificing the princess's chance to be the emperor, and sacrificing himself, but even so, in the historian's writing, he would only be a sycophant, and the little emperor would live forever.

Why?

Master Li has some friendship with General Yang, and he has heard of some experiences of Yang Yan when he was young, and now he often thinks of it as a sharp knife in his heart, but this is the first time in front of himself, he said hoarsely, "I am sorry for you, old minister! "

"It doesn't matter if it's Mingjun, for such a person, you..."

"Yang Ping!"

A voice interrupted Lord Li's words, and all the people present turned pale when they looked in the direction of the voice. They all looked in the direction of the voice, but no one called out to His Majesty.

Yang Jue was in a bad mood.

At this time, Yang Jue's men ran in quickly, and Yang Jue found that they were somewhat injured. Someone in the Princess Mansion assisted the little emperor and injured his people.

"Yang Jue, I didn't expect that you really betrayed me!"

The little emperor thought that he had just scolded Concubine Xian for this person, his eyes immediately turned red, and he turned his head and left.

Yang Jue subconsciously chased after him, but before he took a step, the ministers around him knelt on the ground.

When they came here, they had already discussed with each other. Over the years, the person who promoted them is the son-in-law, and the person who has suffered for the country for so long is also the son-in-law. Without the son-in-law, they would not be where they are today. People worthy of loyalty, they are loyal to the son-in-law, even if they are treasonous, they will do it to the end for the son-in-law.

Master Li said again, "Please make a decision early."

Now that the little emperor has already suspected you, why not choose a Mingjun who is more suitable for you?

Yang Ping stood where he was, looking at the man kneeling on the ground.He guessed that Concubine Xian would sow discord between him and the little emperor, guessed that Concubine Xian let him know about the princess's plan, it was the princess' intention, and the princess wanted him to take the initiative to deal with him, guessed that all his actions would make people far away in northern Xinjiang Father Yang, who didn't know much about the court situation, thought he was on the side of the Queen Mother and forced Father Yang to take sides.

However, he missed himself.

He always thought that by helping the little emperor to be a holy son and weakening the meaning of the edict, he had already destroyed all the conditions for the princess to be enthroned in a legitimate way. When it was time to fulfill the obligation, the little emperor had already been pushed to the position of Yongjun.

It was he who personally created a reason for the princess to replace the little emperor.

"you lose."

After sending the ministers away, the princess said so.

Yang Yan shook his head, "In this world, I will definitely be the winner."

It's just that you don't necessarily lose.

The second half of the sentence couldn't be said with Yang Juan's self-esteem.

After finishing speaking, Yang Jue left the room, and for the next month or so, until the poison on Yang Juan's body was cured, the little emperor didn't want to see him.

The little emperor had been slacking off for too long, he was completely unfamiliar with government affairs, and he refused to lower his head to ask anyone for advice, so the handling was messed up.Especially out of anger, he forcibly recruited a few courtiers trained by Yang Pang for him. Those people were not low-status. It's even more enjoyable, and anyone who advises will be demoted.The queen mother had to intervene in politics.

Yang Yan has been idle at the princess's mansion for almost a month, listening to the news of the chaos in the court every day. It's not that he is not in a hurry, but it's just not the time yet.

He can explain to the little emperor and tell him everything he has done for him. The little emperor is a little simple, but he is not stupid. If he explains it clearly, he will believe in himself again. However, how long can this belief last?

What he has to do next is the key, the little emperor can't be allowed to get angry again at the most critical moment, anyway, the little emperor's reputation as a mediocre gentleman can't be washed away, so let's just make trouble with him first, and wait for the general to come back , Knowing what the little emperor has done with the character of the general, he will definitely unite with the princess. At this time, I will stand by his side and tell him my position with actions. At that time, the little emperor's hopes and interests will be pinned on the princess. In myself, these are much more reliable than trust.

Yang Jue was idle for another month, and the general finally returned in triumph.

In July, the night sky is like broken beads scattered on the girl's bun, and the night is gentle.

Taking advantage of this tenderness, Yang Yan drank a few more glasses at the general's welcome banquet, but someone drank more than him.
