Cannon fodder warms your heart

The emperor looked at Song Ciyou ignorantly, "I have read your article, and it is indeed the number one scholar. Why is your ranking low? Is it your husband who guided you?" The emperor stared at Song Ciyou, this son has a brilliant literary talent , but his performance in the general examination and palace examination was mediocre. This man, who is suspicious of the emperor, has doubts.

Song Ciyou blushed slightly, "I'm worried that my high school champion will be caught by the list, and I'm so handsome, I have to guard against it, Your Majesty."

The emperor laughed angrily at him, and glared at him, but his mood improved a lot, "Shameless!" But he still recognized it, Song Ciyou looked dignified and elegant, gentle as jade, talking and laughing gave people a feeling of spring breeze , is a handsome man.

"Who is your husband? How did you teach such a stupid and smart person?" The emperor must have investigated before using Song Ciyou, and asking this question is to see whether Song Ciyou is honest or not.

"My husband is Du's Ruosheng, and my grandfather is Du Rui, the prince and grand master of the former first-rank official." Song Ciyou said honestly.

The emperor groaned, propped his chin, as if recalling the past, "But that pretty little fellow following Qingyang?"

Song Ciyou didn't know what happened before, so he didn't say anything.

But the emperor thought of the Empress Yuan, the first time he saw a little girl sitting on a tree branch in the general's mansion when he was young, that skinny girl who could poke a hole in the sky, but gradually became serious and dignified after entering the palace Alienated, gave birth to a very good Yan Qingyang, who was favored by all officials at a young age, and his mother family held military power. It happened to coincide with the death of the Empress Yuan, and Qingyang insisted on forcing him to kill Concubine Xiao, even at the expense of military power. force.

Abolishing the prince and imprisoning him in the temple was probably the last thing that girl wanted to see. After all, he had failed her.

"The decree is to take Qingyang, the deposed prince, from Huangjue Temple, and make him a first-rank honored king, and the Ministry of Rites will implement the palace as soon as possible." After the emperor finished speaking, he glared at Song Ciyou, who had no eyesight.

Song Ciyou immediately got up, polished the ink to draw up the decree, and presented it to His Majesty. After reading it, His Majesty nodded and asked Zhou Gonggong to announce the decree. Seeing the emperor's attitude towards Song Ciyou, Zhou Gonggong knew that he loved the emperor very much. Zhongshusheren.Song Ciyou is capable and smart, now has the emperor's favor, and has an unlimited future.

Then he raised a question, "Where does Lord Song live now? Can the family come to the capital?"

Song Ciyou shook his head, the housing price in the capital is extremely high, and young officials like him are renting houses, the emperor squinted at Eunuch Zhou who had served him since he was a child, "Then give Master Du's former house to his grandson. "

Song Ciyou quickly knelt down, "Your Majesty, this is unreasonable."

The emperor glared at the stupid Song Ciyou, "I didn't give it to you. Tomorrow, I will ask Mr. Du's grandson to enter the palace to thank you. If I find out that what you said today is false, I will apologize with death."

Song Ciyou had given Song Ciyou the key to Du's house before returning home, Song Ciyou was in a daze for a while, it was a five-entry mansion, could he start from the sixth-rank sesame official alone?But thinking that it was the house that Du Ruosheng lived in when he was a child, he should be happy.

The two had been renting in the small courtyard of the farmhouse before. When Song Ciyou returned to the small courtyard, it was still early. He saw Du Ruosheng sitting alone in the courtyard, waiting for him to finish work and go home.

He felt a little distressed, and walked up quickly to hold his hand, "Go, I'll take you somewhere."

Du Ruosheng didn't know, so he was led by him, walking through the streets and alleys became more and more familiar, until he came to a place that haunted his dreams, Du Mansion, the home where he was born, grew up and left.

Seeing his two lines of tears falling like that, Song Ciyou stepped forward and took out the key to open the door, "Your Majesty returned this house to you, and let you enter the palace tomorrow to thank you."

Du Ruosheng wiped away tears, raised his hand and gestured three words, "Thank you!" Song Ciyou grinned, "Your Majesty said, it's a reward for you, go in and have a look."

That night, the two of them sat together in the courtyard where Du Ruosheng grew up. Song Ciyou saw Du Ruosheng playing the piano for the first time. He, who was originally a son of a family, suffered hardships, and finally, he survived.

On the second day, Song Ciyou brought Du Ruosheng into the palace early, but His Majesty still had to go to court early. As the secretary, Song Ciyou had to record important matters of the court, and there was a heated discussion on the matter of abolishing the crown prince and making him king. The party and the four princes' party were fighting to the death, Song Ciyou raised his head quietly, and glanced at the emperor sitting on the throne, these two cheerful and joyful masters probably had no destiny for the throne.

Sure enough, the more people opposed, the more the emperor wanted to give the crown prince a disgrace, so he immediately told the court that King Yunrong would enter the court to listen to the government.

After the court, the prince was dismissed because he wanted to argue with the emperor, and then the emperor summoned the ministers again, and he had time to see Du Ruosheng until noon, but Song Ciyou was kicked out, I don't know what the emperor said to him, Du Ruosheng After Sheng went back, when Song Ciyou went to Qinzheng Palace to sort out the memorial, the emperor said casually, "Aiqing is very lucky, she married a good husband."

Song Ciyou looked bewildered and smirked, not knowing what to do and continuing to organize the memorial.

King Rong returned to Beijing to enter the palace to thank him. Song Ciyou was sorting out the documents sent by the cabinet in the side hall next door. When he left, he took a look at King Rong. This is the master of the male protagonist General Fu in the original novel.

The turmoil in Beijing was turbulent, and Song Ciyou's family finally arrived in the capital. Du Ruosheng put up a new plaque for the former Du Mansion. The family couldn't help crying when they saw Du Ruosheng.

The Song family's mouths widened when they saw the magnificent Song Mansion. Du Ruosheng meticulously changed the plaques for all the courtyards in the mansion. Grandparents lived in the largest courtyard, Shi'an Courtyard, and parents lived in Fuyun Courtyard next to them. The Dong family lived on both sides of the West, and also reserved a yard for the other three uncles' families. If the family came to Beijing in the future, they could live together.

The Song family suddenly entered the wealthy circle of Beijing and made many jokes. The rich and powerful in Beijing laughed at the poor Song family and made a fuss about being rich. The emperor knew about it and praised him.

Du Ruosheng also had time to promote movable type printing across the country, opened a book club, and was busy hosting the book club on weekdays, and Song Ciyou became more and more comfortable in the court.

Two years passed in a blink of an eye, and the emperor was getting older and the struggle between the princes became more intense. Song Ciyou had been promoted from the sixth rank to the fifth rank censor Zhongchen, and also served as a bachelor of censor. He is now deeply trusted by the emperor.Du Ruosheng's book clubs have opened all over the country, and it is not difficult for children from most families in the country to read books.

At the beginning of Xiyun, the pavilion was sinking, and the rain was about to come and the wind filled the building.

☆, uproar palace change

Song Ciyou came out of the emperor's bedroom with a gloomy look on his face, someone actually prescribed medicine to the emperor.

In the past two years, the emperor's body has been declining. He was obsessed with alchemy and seeking Taoism. His body has long been hollowed out. He looks healthy on the surface. Beng will be able to take over smoothly, but he can't wait to prescribe the medicine, so how many people are involved in it.

Song Ciyou went out of the palace and brought Song Youning into the palace. Now the emperor doesn't trust anyone, only Song Ciyou, who he single-handedly promoted, Song Ciyou lived up to his expectations. Song Youning spent some effort to detoxify the emperor.

The emperor fell into sleep, Eunuch Zhou closed the palace door intimately, Song Ciyou stood on the steps and looked at the snow-covered Forbidden City, since he came here for the exam three years ago, he has not left here for three years.

Song Youning looked at Song Ciyou's back and felt that she couldn't understand this cousin.It has only been six years since she came to this world, and her cousin has changed from a poor scholar with the reputation of a genius to the closest and most trusted person of the emperor.The emperor didn't trust any of his sons, but he trusted him very much and intended to train him as a prime minister.This person lived up to the trust of the emperor and did things beautifully. He did not hesitate to offend the crown prince, the fourth prince, the seventh prince, King Rong, King An, etc. His majesty is hard to recover, so what will he do?

In three years, the Song family has changed from a farmer who planed food in the field to an upstart in Beijing. Her family and the family of her third uncle and fourth uncle who stayed in their hometown have also become a family of country gentlemen who are half-farming and half-studying. It's much easier. There is a new school in his hometown, and the study style is on the rise. If he goes wrong on this road, not a few will be implicated.

Song Ci worriedly looked at the Forbidden City, then turned to Song Youning, "How long will Your Majesty live?"

Song Youning answered truthfully, "Up to three years."

"Well, okay, you go back and tell Fu Feng, be more honest, one step is wrong and one step is wrong."

Song Youning broke out in cold sweat instantly. Song Ciyou knew about the plot between her husband and King Rong, which meant that His Majesty also knew about it.

Song Ci looked at the gate of the palace worryingly. The current emperor is not a good father, but he is definitely a good emperor. Although he is arbitrary, he is also diligent in governing and loving the people, and he is good at employing people.When it's time to set things right and kill decisively, never look forward to the future for your own selfishness.The most important thing is that he Yu Song Ciyou, the kindness of knowing him.

The emperor is a very special profession, and the road to the throne is also full of ruthlessness, cold-bloodedness and betrayal. Now His Majesty wants to be the emperor until death, but the crown prince and other princes can't wait any longer.

Over the years, for the position under his ass, the emperor reprimanded the former prince who was excellent in all aspects, supported Concubine Xiao's son to become bigger day by day, and then supported the seventh prince to fight in the ring. , and now the emperor's poison is the result of the three-party competition.

Song Ciyou stood outside the palace, and after a long time, Eunuch Zhou came out, "Lord Song, Your Majesty is awake and wants to see you."

Song Ciyou responded, dressed neatly, opened the door and followed the guards to the palace where the emperor lived.

After Song Ciyou came in, he saluted the emperor and said, "How does your majesty feel?"

The emperor didn't speak, but his eyes were locked on Song Ciyou's face from the very beginning. Seeing that the pain, anger and slight distress in his eyes didn't seem to be fake, he smiled, "I actually suspect you as an idiot. You will find out and let me know."

The emperor's voice was deep, his face was cold, and he looked at Song Ciyou, "Remember, you are my subject. No matter what the result of this matter is found out, report it truthfully, otherwise, don't blame me for punishing you and the poisoner for the same crime. !"

Song Ciyou raised his hand to salute, and said in a deep voice, "I accept the decree!"

The emperor leaned against the head of the bed with his eyelids lightly closed, and did not speak.There was a sudden silence in the hall, and the emperor said slowly, "Who do you think it could be? Perhaps, there are all of them."

Song Ciyou didn't say a word, now the father is not the father, the son is not the son, the one who forced the palace to rebel may not be the only one.The emperor asked in a deep voice: "I want to force the person who is behind the drug, does Ai Qing have any ideas?"

Song Ciyou frowned, "Three days later is the best time to do it."

After hearing this, the emperor fixedly looked into Song Ciyou's eyes, and seeing his open eyes, he said, "I will do as you say."

The emperor's health is getting better day by day, but he didn't go to the court, but stayed in the palace. Song Ciyou still went in and out of the palace every day, and many people asked him about His Majesty's news. It was not good for Song Ciyou to let Eunuch Zhou take a walk message out.His Majesty did not speak, but gathered troops secretly, and waited three days for the person who forced the palace to appear.

On the other side, the crown prince Yan Qingchen conspired with the prime minister and his party members over the emperor's serious illness, "Prince, what are your plans?" Qin Fangyu was also the Tanhualang of Song Ciyou's class, and now the husband of the prime minister's three daughters, the one the crown prince trusts more Courtier.Prime Minister Xiao Guifei stroked her beard, looked at Yan Qingchen and said slowly, "I think the emperor is about to die, you are a righteous prince, there is no need to do anything extra, but you must beware of King Rong and the fourth prince, so..."

Yan Qingchen raised his head suddenly, looked at the prime minister, squirmed his lips, and there was a faint light in his eyes.The other staff members looked at each other, and the elder said: "The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows."

Yan Qingchen took a deep breath, "Are you all ready?"

"Although the poisonous hair is a little earlier than we imagined, but don't worry, Prince, as long as you give an order, we can arrange everything!"

Yan Qingchen pursed his lips, his face was full of seriousness, and finally nodded.

On the other side, the fourth prince's mansion, the fourth prince's grandparent's family holds the military power and controls Zhongzi in the army. Now the emperor is seriously ill. Once he dies, the prince will be justified. Then he will have no way out, so he can only strike first up. "Uncle, how are you getting ready?"

General Zheng Hui of this dynasty nodded, "The [-] soldiers and horses have all arrived at the training ground at noon today. Wait for three days and go to the New Year's Eve."

Some staff persuaded, "Fourth prince, I feel that this matter is explosive. The prince will let you know, just not afraid of your rebellion. Once we do it, we will lose our good reputation. We can use our tricks to lure the prince into the palace."

On the other side, Yan Qingyang and his staff were also discussing how to survive this oppression.Fu Feng frowned, "I don't know who is Mantis and who is Sparrow."

"My lord, General Fu, the general's wife is asking to see you outside the door." The guard came in and reported.

Yan Qingyang and Fu Feng looked at each other, "Let her in."

Song Youning stepped in, greeted King Rong, and then brought Song Ciyou's words with him, but didn't say anything about the emperor's health.She said goodbye and left.

King Rong's staff discussed one after another, this Song Yuzhong Cheng is very evil, he does not make friends with any princes and dignitaries in Beijing, he is only loyal to His Majesty, turns a blind eye to the princes' overtures, and has secretly helped King Rong several times.

King Rong thought of Song Ciyou who fought with him back then. Who would have thought that Gong Sheng, who was hiding on Du Ruosheng's body and acting like a coquettish, would come to his current position, and he was able to return to the court because of his kindness. , Du Ruosheng, and Song Youning both had deep connections with him, and Song Ciyou would never harm him, so he decided to do nothing.

On the other end, Song Ciyou returned home, and Du Ruosheng was reading in the yard. When Du Ruosheng saw him come back, he stood up, led him to sit down, and showed him the information collected by the book club.

There is a severe drought in the south of the Lingnan, instability in the northwest border, frequent struggles among the princes in the court, natural disasters and man-made disasters, internal and external troubles, if you do something at this time, the court will be in turmoil.

Seeing that his brows were furrowed, Du Ruosheng felt distressed, stretched out his fingers to smooth it gently, Song Ciyou opened his eyes and held his hand, Du Ruosheng leaned over and rubbed Song Ciyou slightly, his eyes said, "Don't worry .”

Song Ci smiled sadly, put Du Ruosheng's hand on his face, "Tomorrow, you go to the academy for now, hide it well, and wait for me to pick you up, okay?"

Du Ruosheng shook his head as soon as he heard it, no way, everyone in the capital knew that Song Ciyou valued his husband the most, and if there was any change in him, it would bring trouble to Song Ciyou.

"Hey, be obedient. Parents, I have already sent them to Zhuangzi outside the city for protection. The only thing I don't worry about is you. If they fail, they will take the Song Mansion under their knife." Song Ciyou couldn't help coaxing.

Du Ruosheng pursed his lips and nodded, Song Ciyou stretched out his hand and tapped his lips, the slightly cool fingertips seemed to brush over the heart lake, causing ripples to ripple Du Ruosheng's heart.He took Song Ciyou's hand and wrote in his palm, "I'll wait for you to pick me up."

Song Ciyou nodded and rubbed Du Ruosheng's head. In fact, he was not very sure about this battle. How many cards did the emperor have in his hand? The most likely person is Song Ciyou.

Du Ruosheng felt that Song Ciyou seemed to have something to tell him, but he didn't think about how to say it, so he pretended not to know.It wasn't until dinner that Song Ciyou said in a calm tone: "Ruosheng, if Yan Qingyang also changes, I will also plan to kill him."

Du Ruosheng was stunned and raised his head to look at Song Ciyou. Yan Qingyang and Du Ruosheng were not simple friends, they were the people his grandfather told him to be loyal to, husband and monarch, he knew how to choose him.

Du Ruosheng stepped into the inner room, opened his dowry box, found a small box at the bottom, and gave it to Song Ciyou.

Song Ciyou didn't understand, so he opened it and closed it immediately, with a serious face, "Where did you come from?"

The tiger talisman of the Shenjiying, which had been lost for nearly 40 years, is actually here with Du Ruosheng. With him, he can mobilize the late emperor's Shenjiying. The Shenjiying does not recognize the monarch, but only the tiger talisman.

This Shenji camp is the secret guard camp of the emperors of all dynasties, scattered in various industries, and the subordinates are all people with real kung fu, they can hide for a lifetime without moving the tiger charm.His Majesty's ascension to the throne is not very bright, so that the late emperor did not hand over the tiger talisman to him. His Majesty searched hard for many years, and later he built a new Dark Guard Department, but the scale cannot be compared with the mysterious Shenji Battalion passed down through the ages.

But, how could this tiger charm be in Du Ruosheng's dowry?Did Yan Qingyang know about it?How should I use it myself?

On the second day, Song Ciyou went to a small wine shop with the tiger talisman in his arms, met a person, arranged everything, and went directly to the palace after returning, never coming out.

This year's New Year's Eve was particularly bleak due to his majesty's serious illness, so the crown prince organized a palace banquet instead of the emperor.

This night is destined to be an eventful night.

The palace banquet begins, singing and dancing, all the princes have a basket of good words, all the ministers have their own thoughts, the prince is full of ambition, no one who has tasted this kind of power will want to give up.

At this time, the guards at the palace gate crawled in and said, "It's not good, it's not good, the Hall of Mental Cultivation where the emperor lives is on fire."

Everyone was shocked and looked towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation, where a raging fire was burning, reflecting half of the night sky red, and the cries and howls of the palace people could be clearly heard.

His Majesty is still inside.

The prince was shocked, the fourth prince did it so soon?Then he angrily reprimanded, "Fourth emperor, you are so brave, you dare to set fire to murder the emperor, come and take him down."

The fourth prince was startled, he didn't set fire to it, but he couldn't sit still at this moment, the emperor died and the prince ascended the throne smoothly, he didn't allow it, and then he dropped a cup, and instantly used it for soldiers wearing armors from everywhere, I don't know what they did mixed into the palace.

The fourth prince was proud, "Come here, the crown prince poisoned His Majesty and set fire to the palace, take it down for me, and the others will follow me to rescue him."

"People, put out the fire! It's on fire!" There was a shout from far away, someone was beating a gong and shouting for water, and the eunuch and maid were carrying water to douse the fire.

Before the prince's men reached the Hall of Mental Cultivation, they began to shout loudly, "The emperor is dead, the emperor is dead!"

The last sentence only uttered three words, and the voice stuck in his throat. He looked like he had seen a ghost, and looked in amazement at the aged emperor standing on the Star Picking Tower opposite the Hall of Mental Cultivation, his eyes widened. I don't know what to say.

The fourth prince hastily led his troops to surround the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the prince and the prime minister followed behind with the forbidden army oriole.

"Your Majesty, Ping Ding Hou rebelled and surrounded the palace gate with [-] elite soldiers. There are [-] in the palace." Song Ciyou stood behind His Majesty, "The prince and the prime minister have [-] forbidden troops. Concubine Su's sister."

The fourth prince's soldiers and horses fought with the prince's soldiers and horses, but the emperor looked at the palace gate, waiting for the last team to enter the field.Outside the palace gate, Yan Qingyang was short of breath and didn't know whether he should go in. Song Ciyou's words rang in his ears, but he heard the news that there was a fire in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and His Majesty, who had been deeply poisoned, must have been burned to death , the fourth child and the prince are inside, should he go in, should he go in.

In the end, Fu Feng took the prince away, and Song Youning said that the emperor's poison had been cured.

And the Seventh Prince hurried into the palace with the city guards, trying to be the bird that caught the mantis.

The three forces were entangled and fought each other, blood flowed like a river, this is the elite soldiers of the banquet, the people of the banquet.

The emperor instantly aged, as if he had lost all vitality, and waved his hand to let the large army surround all the people involved in this matter.

At this time, the three princes saw the emperor on the Star Picking Tower, and their hearts were instantly chilled. They could no longer care about it. Today, they must fight to survive or die here.Immediately, murderous intentions were born, and they turned around and joined forces to deal with the emperor.

Seeing that they were still stubbornly resisting, the emperor was immediately disheartened, and said three words indifferently, "Kill without pardon."

☆, the new emperor ascended the throne

With the emperor's order, the soldiers and horses brought by the crown prince, fourth prince, and seventh prince were about to cause civil strife. Some of the soldiers with yellow scarves tied on their heads drew their swords inward. The princes were shocked, and no one noticed His Majesty's hidden guards. The number of ministers more than doubled, and these people harvested heads like wheat. The crown prince, fourth prince, and seventh prince were tied up and thrown into the Hall of Qinzheng.

The emperor sat at the head, looking at the three princes with an old face, "Go, call the boss and all the ministers, and let's clean it up tonight."

Yan Qingyang has been terrified since yesterday, and he has already learned that this is a trick by His Majesty. It is probably not good for him to enter the palace.

When Yan Qingyang entered, the Crown Prince, Fourth Prince, Seventh Prince, Prime Minister, General Zheng, General Hu and others involved in the conspiracy knelt there, accounting for half of the courtiers.Yan Qingyang also took the initiative to kneel down.

"Father, royal father...", the prince trembled, and the emperor closed his eyes and huddled on the dragon chair wearily.

The emperor's eyes swept over everyone's heads one by one, and finally stopped at the side of the imperial army, "Tell me, what's going on?"

The prince was the first to speak, kneeling on the ground with a trembling voice, "I heard that the fourth prince poisoned you and set fire to the palace. At the banquet, the fourth prince rebelled. I was worried about you and wanted to go in. That's why... Father , my son is worried about you."

"You are really my good boy! You can mobilize the Imperial Army before I die!" The emperor coughed angrily, his eyes full of disappointment, he had never treated Concubine Xiao and the Crown Prince badly.

The fourth prince and the seventh prince spoke one after another, their reasons were the same, they were all rescued into the palace, they are really good sons.

"Who gave the medicine?" The emperor asked this sentence, and the princes all tried to evade the other party's lies, trying to save themselves a chance.

Sure enough, everyone is not very clean.

The emperor's condition is still not recovering, and the repeated violent fluctuations made him unstable. His eyes were full of complex emotions, "Xiao Xiang mobilized the forbidden army with the intention of misbehavior, and he was sentenced to death. The nine clans are not allowed to be officials. Zheng Hui intends to rebel and mobilizes military power. Kill Li Jue, the nine clans cannot be soldiers, Hu Lin privately mobilized the city guards, intending to rebel, cut Li Jue, and wiped out the five clans..., the prince, the fourth prince, and the seventh prince raised their troops to rebel." The emperor closed his eyes and said slowly: "Qiuhou asks to be cut."

Then he thought of the harem again, "Give imperial concubine Xiao, Zhuang concubine Zheng, and Mei concubine Shen a cup of poisoned wine, and it will be executed. After death, they will not enter the imperial tomb."

Immediately, he glanced at Yan Qingyang, sighed heavily, and Yan Qingyang raised his voice in his heart, "King Rong, King Rong, grant Youzhou the fiefdom, and you can't return to Beijing without an edict."

Your majesty is still as ruthless as ever.

On the day of the questioning and killing, blood was sprinkled on the white snow, and everyone in the capital was terrified.After being executed, Song Ciyou returned home in a hurry. He had a beard and stretched his arms. Du Ruosheng hugged his waist.

Song Ciyou raised his eyes just in time to meet Du Ruosheng's frightened eyes, he couldn't help smiling, a little heavy, and said softly, "It's all over."

These hands, which had never killed anyone, were finally stained with blood, innocent or not.

People in the capital are in panic, no one dares to breathe loudly, the mother-in-laws of several princes accounted for half of the courtiers, and all the participants were killed, the blood of the vegetable market is really appalling, the only good thing is that the list is carried out when the family is killed The boxes of gold, silver and jewels filled the national treasury. After Song Ciyou investigated the dirty things done by those aristocratic families, he vindicated many people's grievances.

After the palace change, the emperor's health became worse and worse, but he trusted Song Ciyou more and more. Regardless of the objections of the courtiers, Song Ciyou, who was only 20 years old, was appointed prime minister.The princess was deposed, the fourth prince and the seventh prince were killed, King Rong was demoted, and the princes below were either young or incompetent. His Majesty no longer trusted any of the princes.The servants only called Song Ciyou, and rumors spread everywhere in the capital. There were not too many versions that Song Ciyou was the illegitimate son of His Majesty.

After winter, the seasons changed from autumn to winter. The emperor caught a cold and fell ill again, showing faint signs of apoplexy.Song Ciyou was very worried, Song Youning entered the palace almost every day, and finally the emperor's health gradually recovered.

The emperor was seriously ill, the empress was young, and the court had undergone a major change of blood before, Song Ciyou seemed to be No. 1 under the throne.

His Majesty's sleepiness was getting longer and longer, and Song Ci was worried. At this time, Du Ruosheng brought a five-year-old boy and said that this was Yan Qingyang's son. Then he left, Du Ruosheng had been training him, and he thought it was good, so Song Ciyou took him into the palace.

With this little emperor's grandson who looks like the empress of the Yuan Dynasty, His Majesty burst into tears, holding the little emperor's grandson in tears. He was wrong, really wrong, and immediately made the little emperor's grandson Yanzi Yu the crown prince, and Song Ciyou as the crown prince. Prince Taishi.

The emperor lasted for three years, but finally passed away. Song Ciyou helped the eight-year-old prince ascend the throne.

The emperor died of illness, and the new emperor was young. Song Ciyou decided to let Du Ruosheng be the prince and grand teacher. He was busy with many affairs in the court and had to deal with many affairs in the court. It was suppressed.

Du Ruosheng and Song Ciyou didn't have any children, so they paid special attention to the teaching of the new emperor Yan Ziyu, and they taught him as if they were their own children.Yan Ziyu's life experience is very bumpy. He was born in Huangjue Temple. His biological mother was a servant girl who served the deposed prince. Later, the deposed prince was named King Rong. He is the eldest son of the prince's concubine, and Princess Rong also has heirs. He is not good to him. The princess of Youzhou did not take him away, so she was sent to Song Mansion.

According to historical records: "In the fourth year of Yanqing 110, Emperor Taizong died of a long illness. Before his death, he passed the throne to the eight-year-old Emperor Ningwu. Since then, the young emperor began his legend under the control of the traitor Song Ciyou life.

Summon craftsmen to set up a firearms bureau, wipe out Japanese pirates, send envoys to the West, promote high-yield grains, build roads, open up maritime trade, completely pacify Tatar, build overseas military bases, and issue banknotes...

Registered at the age of eight, died at the age of 54, and reigned for 46 years. Emperor Ningwu worked hard to govern the country.Exploitation of territory, attacking Japan, conquering Korea, and setting up the four chief ministers in Southeast Asia laid an important foundation for the prosperity of the Yan Dynasty for more than 200 years...

But Song Ciyou's reputation is not very good. He controlled the court and once scolded the new emperor in front of the officials of cultural relics. The official history has long disliked him, so he was so vicious.Song Ci was so sad and happy that he didn't care at all. These days, a good person who does a hundred good deeds and commits one evil is a wicked person, and everyone shouts and beats him.But a wicked person who does one good thing for a hundred years is a good person, and the prodigal son turns back.It's better to be a villain, anyway, people who don't like him can't kill him.

Song Ciyou gradually delegated power after the new emperor turned eighteen. He rarely refuted the new emperor's decision, but encouraged him to make a decision. Is a good emperor.

After Yan Ziyu got married, Song Ciyou and Du Ruosheng seldom entered the palace, but Yan Ziyu couldn't help running out to look for Du Ruosheng. When he came, Song Ciyou was painting for Du Ruosheng in the mansion. Very soon, Du Ruosheng smiled brightly with his chin propped up.

"Father Xiang, you are leisurely." The new emperor complained, "I am too busy with official duties. If I knew you were fine, I should have asked Chu Qi to pack the piles of booklets on the table into sacks for you when I came. You bring two carriages here."

The relationship between the two is a monarch and a minister outside, and they are father and son behind closed doors. The new emperor was often criticized by Song Ciyou when he was young, but he still called Song Ciyou his father in admiration.

Song Ciyou put his hand on his mouth and said softly, "Don't make noise, I'll draw a picture for your master, wait there." Du Ruosheng glared at him when he heard this, obviously he didn't want to talk to the emperor.

Yan Ziyu had no choice but to sit honestly not far away and drink tea. Father Xiang and Master were as good as ever. The two of them were obviously not sticky, but they made people feel very comfortable.And he married the queen, who seemed to be in harmony with each other, and there were four concubines and sixteen concubines in the harem, so many people, but one was no match.

"Father Xiang, I'm going to try it out soon. Help me choose some people who can be used. I want to build a new water conservancy across the country."

Song Ciyou has accepted, and the spring test has already begun in a blink of an eye. Many candidates from all over the world have traveled long distances and worked hard to come to this prosperous imperial capital with dreams. They want to win the gold list title with their full knowledge. Here Take root.

Ten years of studying hard in the cold window, isn't it for this exam to reach the sky and make it to the top.Since movable type printing became popular all over the country many years ago, the price of books in the country has dropped a lot, and many people can afford to read books. In addition, Mr. Ruosheng's calligraphy, painting and poetry are very magnificent, and his talent is very famous. pivotal position.

Song Wenhan and Song Wenqing also participated in the imperial examination this year. Song Ciyou patted the shoulders of the two nephews, "Don't think too much, answer the questions carefully." Worry will not intervene further.

As the chief examiner, Song Ciyou didn't say anything more. Another Jinshi in the same year was also this year's invigilator. When he saw Song Ciyou, he greeted him with a smile and asked, "Master Song, remember what we did many years ago?" It is also in this room where you face the exam papers and think hard, did you ever think that you would have the status you have today?"

Song Ciyou raised his eyes and saw the examinees at the entrance of the Tribute Academy with baskets waiting to be searched. All of them were of different ages, some had immature faces that had not yet been crowned, and some were staggering sixtieth old men.Through the faces of everyone, he seemed to see the youthful self back then, who traveled long distances and left his hometown, with ambitions in his heart, and aspired to be one person below ten thousand people.

Now, he does.

With a smile in his eyes, "I never thought I could go so far. At that time, I only wanted to change the family and give my husband a place to settle down."

"The difficulty of the official road is as difficult as reaching the sky."

Song Ciyou's success cannot be duplicated, and there is a lot of luck in it, but he can't let go of that full of knowledge and intelligence.The reason why Song Ciyou was turned into a traitor by later generations is inseparable from his style of doing things. He is bold and has no rules. Many times his suggestions are harmful to the interests of many parties. Yan Ziyu is responsible for these things. Outsiders It seems that he pushed the young emperor to the throne, coerced the emperor to make the princes, and disrespected the new emperor very much, but the new emperor liked to cling to him.

No way, that's how great your personal charm is.

Having been an official for many years, the ability to know people is beyond the reach of others. Song Ciyou personally selected a group of young students, and personally visited the generals' homes, and selected capable generals to send to the palace. It is time for the emperor to cultivate his own young power .

Song Ciyou stepped into the imperial court before he became weak, and became a prime minister at a young age. After nearly 20 years of ups and downs in the officialdom, he really felt that enough was enough.Moreover, he was in the imperial court, and the new emperor was restrained in doing some things, for fear of touching his interests, and it would be difficult for him to raise a child, so Song Ciyou quickly retired and returned home.

The main reason is that he wants to spend more time with Du Ruosheng, and take him around when he is still young and flexible in his legs and feet.

He resigned from the position of prime minister and returned to his hometown. Everyone came to persuade him, and even the new emperor came to apologize. Song Ciyou just smiled and rubbed his head, "You are the emperor, you have to face the difficulties yourself, and you will have time in the future." I will come to see you. I owe too much to your master, the rest of my life is his, be good, go back." The young emperor returned to the deep palace and continued to work hard.

Song Ciyou really rented a carriage and took Du Ruosheng out, but wherever he went, Du Ruosheng would write travel notes, and at the same time write many poems that would last forever. In contrast, Song Ciyou was a little fooled, he I've been busy for most of my life, so I don't bother to read books. From time to time, there are bad officials or good ideas that I don't like, and I write letters to the capital, and let Yan Ziyu find a way to solve it.

The two went from their forties to their early sixties, and finally returned to their hometown and opened an academy. As a master, he was free to teach, and he was busy with Du Ruosheng's teaching, fishing for three days and drying for two days Net, anyway, he has a husband who is used to it.

Song Ciyou thought, his greatest luck was to meet such a person in the world of mortals, he was really lucky.

A wind and cold took away Song Ciyou's old man Du Ruosheng, he left too suddenly, this quiet man accompanied him
