landslide

?In the past few days, the palace has been in a tense atmosphere. The two factions in the court often confront each other over some trivial matters, so that political affairs are often at loggerheads.The two sides have repeatedly caught the mistakes made by the other camp. Almost every day, people are punished for this. The small ones are beaten with dozens of boards, and the big ones are put in jail pending trial. They all try to weaken the other side's strength.

Another undercurrent came slowly, Min Luo's matter stimulated Yong Ting, he knew that there was only one chance to turn things around, but he couldn't yield to that chance, at this time he was focused on preparing a part of Ding An The army went to Beijing; Nuo Xu continued to negotiate with wealthy businessmen in the capital to consolidate his power, Huai Jun intervened in it, and several wealthy businessmen who were originally inclined to Nuo Xu turned against each other because of their status as the prince of Huai Jun; General Peng and General Dong each took charge of the capital The two began to recruit troops to increase their strength. At that time, General Peng hoped that his daughter could become a princess, but he was intercepted by General Dong. Now they can only put all their eggs in one basket on Nuo Xu.

They are not reconciled to others.

On this day, Huaijun was working in Renfu Palace, when someone came to Zheng's mansion suddenly, and there was bad news - Taifu Zheng suddenly fell ill, and I am afraid that time is running out, so he asked to see His Highness the Crown Prince.

Hearing this, Huai Jun immediately dropped the Langhao brush in his hand, and followed the people from the Zheng residence.

At this time, Taifu Zheng was wearing a coat and sitting on the Arhat bed by the window.

There is a small table in the middle of this arhat bed, a pot of freshly brewed tea is placed on the table, two cushions with blue patterns are placed on both sides, and Zheng Taichuan sits on the left side of the small table.His appearance was haggard, and the hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, as if he was ten times haggarder than when we met a few days ago.

Huai Jun walked up to Taifu Zheng anxiously, and asked, "Grandpa, what happened?"

"The old minister sees His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Taifu Zheng gave Huai Jun a loving smile, then pulled Huai Jun to the right of the young couple with trembling hands, and asked him to sit down. The old man stared at Huai Jun. It was the last time he saw his favorite grandson like this.

Under Zheng Taifu's fiery eyes, bad premonition welled up in Huaijun's heart, and he asked again uneasily: "What happened?"

"Sudden illness plus some old patients, Jun'er, grandpa is getting old, this day will come sooner or later."

"No, I'll have the imperial physician over right away." Huai Jun forced a smile, comforting Grand Tutor Zheng.

Although he didn't meet Taifu Zheng very often, he knew that Taifu Zheng loved him, so he still had a feeling in his heart.

"No need, grandpa knows best about grandpa's body, so let's go down and reunite with your mother and queen's family as grandpa." Taifu Zheng took this matter calmly, people must die, he can live to the age of gray hair on him He lost his money, but he had one unfulfilled wish in this world. He shook Huai Jun with trembling hands and said, "Jun'er, Grandpa has only one regret, that is, not seeing you on the throne."

"You will see it, Grandpa, you will see it with your own eyes."

"Yes, yes." Taifu Zheng smiled lovingly again: "Your mother and I will both see it." But at the next moment, his words changed, and the old man's eyes showed the light of persistence in his ideals when he was young: " I know that your elder brother and others still don't give up, and when I go, you can let Huaifeng go to Beijing in the name of a funeral, and his Dingwu army can always defeat Yongting's Ding'an army."

Huai Jun glanced at Zheng Taifu uncertainly, he knew it was a good idea, because what he lacked was a strong reason for Jiang Huaifeng to court.However, he really couldn't bear to use this excuse. How could his grandfather's funeral be involved in the fighting?

Taifu Zheng saw Huai Jun's hesitation, and said again: "There is no need to hesitate. Those who achieve great things must be ruthless. Let's decide this matter like this."

After listening, Huai Jun nodded cruelly and said, "I see."

As for the word "ruthless", Huai Jun has already done it three years ago. Now that Taifu Zheng agrees, why does he need the kindness of a woman?This is Zheng Taifu's last wish, and this is the last thing Zheng Taifu can do for him.

"Jun'er, you are the crown prince, and you will ascend the throne justifiably. Letting Huaifeng ascend is just a guarantee."

"I see."

Seeing Nuo Xu and Yong Ting's secret actions, Huai Jun knew that the two of them would launch a mutiny one day.Now that they are powerful, have military and financial resources, even if they launch a mutiny, it may not be impossible to seize the throne.Now that the matter has come to this point, and his father is seriously ill again, Huai Jun really wants to prepare a guarantee for himself.

As long as Jiang Huaifeng can go to Beijing, the Dingwu Army will be able to fight against the Ding'an Army.The forces in the capital are checked and balanced by Generals Dong and General Peng, while the power in the court is even stronger when he gathers as the prince.He can't beat Nuo Xu only because of his financial resources, unless he has Song Leyu.

I just don't know what's going on with Minxuan, it seems that he should step up his actions, as his prince, he doesn't believe that anyone else would dare to help Nuoxu!

Suddenly, Mrs. Zheng stroked her chest and panted violently.Seeing this, Huai Jun immediately summoned Uncle Liu, the old housekeeper in the mansion, and Uncle Liu immediately brought a bowl of pitch-black medicine, and served Taifu Zheng to drink it. state.

He said weakly to Huai Jun, while holding his hand tightly: "Promise to grandpa, you must ascend the throne, and clear your mother's wrongful name!"

Thinking of Concubine Jun's decision to lose her hair back then, but ended up being given poisoned wine because of a ridiculous rumor, I really don't know what face I have to meet my hair wife in Huangquan!

Speaking of Concubine Jun, Huai Jun recalled the oath he made under the Buddha back then. He raised his eyebrows and said confidently, "Jun'er will definitely live up to Grandpa's expectations!"

"Okay, this is my good grandson!" Taifu Zheng laughed and stepped out of the boundary between life and death. He said, "Come, help grandpa to bed to rest."

Huai Jun followed Taifu Zheng's words and helped him to the opposite bed.He covered Zheng Taifu with a quilt, told him to take a good rest, and left.

Before leaving, he looked back at Taifu Zheng who was closed on the bed. At that moment, he felt a strange warmth in his heart, because he knew that Taifu Zheng loved him since he was a child.

He told himself from the bottom of his heart that he would not disappoint Taifu Zheng.

After Huai Jun left Zheng's mansion, he didn't go back to the palace immediately, but went to Yongning Temple.

He must be very sad about Mr. Zheng's sudden illness. No one wants to lose someone who treats them well.So he decided to go to Yongning Temple, where there was another person who treated him well.

Yongning Temple is still peaceful. At a glance, there are lush trees, and there are birds and cicadas singing in the trees.

When I came here before, I followed the sound of the wooden fish in my heart, and walked towards the person who was knocking scriptures and chanting Buddha in the nunnery, but now I came, but there was no sound of the wooden fish in my heart, as if the connection between them had been cut off long ago. He had no choice but to walk along the west side hopelessly until he reached the western suburb of the temple.

The western suburb of the temple is more like a peaceful fairyland, with green grass all over the ground. There are a few small red, yellow and yellow flowers in the grass. Occasionally, a few butterflies fly by, spreading their beautiful wings and hovering over the flowers. The birds flew down to the grass, and seemed to be playing.

A stele was erected in this fairyland-like place, with the word Mingjing simply engraved on it, where Huai Jun's most beloved person in his life, his mother, Concubine Jun, was buried there.

Huai Jun walked up to the stele, bowed, sat down recklessly, and said softly to the people on the other side: "Mother, Jun'er is here, it seems to be a little deserted, I'll bring Pu'er over to play the flute for you later. Listen, I know you like to listen to Pu'er blowing the flute." After finishing speaking, Huai Jun smiled softly.

The wind blew over and blew a strand of Huai Jun's hair, and he said, "Grandpa is getting old and suffering from a sudden illness. Empress, tell me, can we really be reunited in the underworld?"

"Actually, we didn't have to wait for the reunion in the Underworld." Huai Jun said suddenly and harshly, disturbing the tranquility of the place: "Our mother and son ended up separated forever today because of those people. It's an injustice. I promised my grandfather, and I promised myself that I will wash away this stigma for my mother in the future, so you can feel at ease, mother."

Suddenly, two people stepped on the grass and came rustlingly.

Huai Jun looked back and saw that it was Master Mingxin and a woman in plain clothes, so he stood up, patted the grass stuck to the Chinese clothes, and smiled slightly at Master Mingxin, and Master Mingxin smiled back at him .

The plain-clothed woman beside Master Mingxin looked at Huai Jun intently, her deep eyes turned into thousands of waves.

After a while, she turned her eyes away from Huai Jun's face, and whispered to Master Mingxin, "I will leave after seeing Ru Jun." As soon as she finished speaking, she walked to the front of the monument, her black and white eyes fixed on On the monument, I don't know what I was thinking.

Huai Jun, who was standing next to her, was also staring at her side. This woman has long black hair, creamy skin, and a pair of eyes with deep thoughts that cannot be hidden. The wind and dust, probably have a certain age.

After a long time, the plain-clothed woman moved her steps, intending to leave. Although Huai Jun wanted to know who the person who came to pay respects to Concubine Jun was, but he couldn't open his mouth abruptly, so he had to look at her back as she walked away.

For some reason, Huai Jun let out a long sigh following her gradually disappearing figure.

It was not until the back of the woman Su Yi disappeared that Huai Jun walked towards Master Mingxin, nodded and said hello, and then forwarded the question that was afraid of being abrupt to Master Mingxin: "Dare to ask Master about the origin of that woman? Why did you come to worship the queen mother?" ?”

"Please forgive me, Your Highness. Mingxin only knows that she and Mingjing are old acquaintances."

Huai Jun thought for a while, then smiled and said: "It's okay. I think I haven't seen the master for a while, and I need to take care of the master during these days."

"Your Highness is serious." Master Ming Xin looked at Huai Jun's seemingly peaceful face, but his frown was filled with inexplicable hatred.

Mingxin recalled what Mingjing had entrusted to him that day, and walked side by side with Huai Jun, saying, "Your Highness is a dutiful son, and Mingjing Spring will feel comforted if he knows."

"If I'm a dutiful son, I shouldn't let my mother still be wronged for three years." Huai Jun said angrily.

"It seems that His Highness has not been able to let go of the past."

"I'm afraid this hatred will never go away." Huai Jun stopped suddenly, stopped under a tree, and looked at the sky outside: "Master Mingxin, my mother is the most important person to me, and she shouldn't bear such grievances." Why did she end up like this?"

Just like back then, the hatred in Huai Jun's heart still remained in his heart, becoming a reckless snake in his heart. Whenever he recalled Concubine Jun's death in vain, his reason would be drained by this reckless snake, and only the buried snake was left. In my heart, let it do evil.

"The world of mortals is so bitter, Mingjing already knew that doom is inevitable, and now she is considered a blessing to get rid of the world of mortals." Ming Xin paused, his few words were like admonitions blowing in the wind, shaking Huai Jun's heart Thinking about it, she refuted one by one: "Mingjing doesn't care about the name of this person before and after. Since she has transcended the world of mortals, this account of grievance should have been over long ago. Her last hope is that His Highness will not be obsessed with this. Last wish, try to let go of this hatred?"

What Huai Jun wants to do should be to cut off the poison in his heart, but once this poison is cut off, all those who supported him in the past will collapse, just like hurting Ming Luo, or Chen Pu's departure.In the past few years, I have gritted my teeth, not only because of the desire in my heart, but also because of the hatred and longing for love.

He is a man in the world of mortals, but also an ordinary person, without a heart of detachment and enlightenment, this hatred may be difficult to explain.

He said: "I have been attached to it for so many years, Master, this is my responsibility as a son. In the future, I will definitely get rid of this injustice for my mother."

Suddenly, the breeze shook off a leaf on Huai Jun's shoulder. Seeing this, Mingxin raised his hand to push the leaf away for him, and sighed, "A leaf falls a thousand catties, and the world of mortals is indeed suffering."

Huai Jun chuckled and asked, "How could Ye Luo weigh a thousand catties?"

Mingxin looked at Huai Jun still obsessed, knowing that Huai Jun would not understand if he went on, this is the usual obsession of the world, and those who can be enlightened are epiphanies from the obsession, and one day he will understand.

However, in the following days, Huai Jun did have an epiphany, but at that time it was after Du Mang dominated him.

Letting such a ruthless dominance dominate him, what would end up in him more than regret?
