Troubled Times Survival Raiders

Wu Junyi could no longer remember what his mother looked like.

His mother, surnamed Zhang, came from a humble background. She was originally the daughter of a minor official, but because of a crime, she was even admitted to the palace.But she was born beautiful again, so she inadvertently fell into the eyes of Emperor Jianning who passed by one day.

At that time, Emperor Jianning was not yet [-] years old, and it was the time when his appearance was imposing and suave.Lady Zhang never thought of being favored, and she was intoxicated in the emperor's love for a while.

But the love of emperors is often like burning oil and blooming flowers, passionate but short-lived.Lady Zhang neither knows poetry nor is good at painting and calligraphy. Apart from a face, she has no weapons.

And Emperor Jianning, who has been on the throne for many years, also knows how to balance the government, and will not favor a woman from a humble background, not to mention that he already has countless beauties.Lady Zhang's appearance was fresh, so she enjoyed it for a few days, and when the novelty was over, she was forgotten, and she was only given to Bao Lin as an explanation.

Unexpectedly, a few months later, this woman who was almost forgotten by Emperor Jianning was diagnosed as pregnant.

During the Daqi Dynasty, the heirs of several emperors were difficult. The first emperor had three adult sons, one of whom was a posthumous son, and one daughter, which is considered a rich heir.Emperor Jianning got married at the age of 17 when he succeeded to the throne. For more than ten years, only Xu Zhaoyi gave birth to his eldest son. Whether it is a son or a daughter, this child is highly valued.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Baolin's blessings were shallow, and the delivery was difficult. The imperial doctor walked around outside the delivery room. She cried all night inside, tried her best to give birth to a child, and then passed away.

Emperor Jianning could only pursue her as a beauty with sadness, that's all.

Wu Junyi grew up by his father's side since he was a child, so he knew little about his biological mother, and he didn't have much affection for him.Only once, when he sneaked to visit Xu Zhaoyi, he overheard the maid's gossip:

"It doesn't matter how favored the Second Highness is, even with our mother's mother's family, we can't surpass our First Highness!"

"Look at Master Zhang's appearance, tsk tsk, I really thought I could be the uncle of the country."

"Stop joking, Second Highness was raised by His Majesty's side because he lost his mother..."

Finally, after hearing the trembling report from the little eunuch, Emperor Jianning led him to identify the tongue-chewing court lady, and personally ordered him to be killed.Xu Zhaoyi was ordered to close the palace to reflect for a month, and even his elder brother, the prince, came to apologize to him.

However, Wu Junyi was not satisfied, and he didn't know why he memorized every sentence firmly when he couldn't even walk steadily. As he grew older, he understood the meaning more and more deeply, but he wanted to let these People saw that he was no worse than the prince or his elder brother!

So he imitated his father from a young age. His calligraphy was copied from the handwriting of his father and elder brother. He could write characters with a diameter of a foot at the age of four, and he could compose poems at the age of six. praise him.

He begged his father to give his uncle, who had been pardoned as a commoner and bestowed a dismissed official, an official title, and drag out all the court ladies and eunuchs who mentioned his biological mother.

Zhang Meiren failed to give his mother's care and love, but left him with a sensitive personality and strong self-esteem.

After listening to the queen's words, the past flashed before Wu Junyi's eyes.

He finally shook his head. "Mother, the minister and you have the reality of mother and child, so you don't have to care about a name."

The queen almost lost her composure, and her fingernails pierced the handkerchief. "The prince really thinks so?"

"Yes." Wu Junyi finally got up, "I have to go to the Spring Harmony Palace. If the mother is fine, I will leave first."

The lord of the Spring Harmony Palace is Xu Zhaoyi.After the death of Prince Duanren, Xu Zhaoyi began to eat fast and chant Buddha every day.Emperor Jianning also respected her, and when he was named Empress, she was promoted to be a virtuous concubine, and he built a Buddhist hall for the side hall of Chunhe Palace, and specially asked the palace affairs to be handed over to the queen, not to disturb her.

Wu Junyi also had some affection for her back then, but now he doesn't want to provoke her, and rarely goes to the Spring Harmony Palace.

Like the owner here, Chunhe Palace is spotless and quiet.The palace maid silently led Wu Junyi to the small Buddhist hall in the side hall, and then said softly, "Your Majesty, the crown prince has come."

Concubine Xian knelt on the futon, wearing plain clothes without decoration, if one didn't look at the movement of her lips, she would be like a lifeless clay sculpture.

Hearing what the maid said, she didn't respond, nor did she look at Wu Junyi.

Wu Junyi was going to salute her, but was stopped by the maid, "Your Highness... Your Majesty is unwilling to accept the salute now."

Wu Junyi looked at the motionless concubine Xian, and asked softly, "Is your empress praying for your brother?"

"Do not."

Just when Wu Junyi thought he would not be able to wait for an answer, Concubine Xian suddenly said, "I am praying for the common people."

Wu Junyi was silent.He put a stick of incense on the Buddha statue, and sat with Concubine Xian for a while. He didn't get up until Concubine Xian finished reading a scroll.

Ever since he left Kunning Palace, Li Qi didn't dare to say a word, for fear of getting bad luck.Until the little eunuch from the Wenhua Palace came all the way, he knelt down and told:

"Your Highness, His Royal Highness the King of Chu sent you a message: Mr. Deng is coming to Beijing, please get ready."

finally come.

It has been five days since Wu Junyi wrote the letter.Five days ago, he personally drafted the memorial requesting that Deng Xian be called into the palace to teach the art of war.

It is said that when Emperor Jianning heard the contents of the excerpt in the early court, his expression was very unpredictable.

But the king of Chu didn't lie to him, his father did not lose his temper, and the ministers also followed this step and tried their best to persuade him to recall Mr. Deng.

Emperor Jianning did not refuse.

Not refusing is an attitude, and the Ministry of Officials has already begun to draft an order.Wu Junyi's only worry was how Deng Xian would react.

Now that it's finally here, they've won the bet.

"Go, go back and change clothes."

When Deng Xian entered the palace, Wu Junyi had to be prepared.

Nominally, Deng first entered the palace to teach the prince, and he was a general who had faced the saint before, so he didn't need to teach any etiquette, so the first stop when he entered the palace was Qianqing Palace, and the second stop was Wenhua Palace.

Wu Junyi also hoped to make a good impression on this man, so he had to change his clothes before his face, and go to Qianqing Palace to wait.

The main combat faction in the DPRK is glad to welcome General Deng Xian back at last.The Lord Peace faction thought about how to drive him back, but none of them were the most depressed.The most depressing one was Emperor Jianning.

Recalling the person who was dismissed by him is tantamount to a slap in the face, although it is a memorial to his son in accordance with the current situation.When Wu Junyi arrived, Emperor Jianning's expression was not good.

Wu Junyi didn't say much, just stayed on the side obediently, waiting for Deng to come first.

Deng Xian was well-known both in the court and among the people, so when he heard the young eunuch whispering and singing, the eunuchs and maids serving in the palace quietly raised their heads and glanced at the door.

A middle-aged man walked up to him.

Most people are a bit disappointed when they first meet him.There is no other reason: this man really does not look like an invincible and majestic general.

The first reaction was that he was a bit too young, he looked only [-] years old, with a fair complexion and a fashionable beard, he looked a bit refined.He is not very tall, and his body is very thin. Wearing a light blue robe, he looks like a civil servant.His arms didn't seem to have much muscle, but they moved very neatly.

He walked to the hall, bowed his head and bowed, saying: "Caomin Deng first pays his respects to His Majesty."

The court ladies and eunuchs who were still afraid of being frightened by him realized that this seemingly gentle scholar was Deng Xian.

Wu Junyi understood to a certain extent that Deng Xian was originally a civil servant, he passed the Jinshi examination, and was assigned to the household department to be a doctor.Later, when he was sent to supervise the food and grass, the soldiers mutinied somehow.

It is said that Deng Xian directly picked up the war drum that several people embraced, and after hitting it several times, he ordered the distribution of military rations.The soldiers threw down their weapons and kept to themselves.After that, everyone knew Deng Langzhong was born with supernatural power.

Later, Xianbei attacked, and Deng Xian took the initiative to invite troops. After several victories, he was promoted all the way to the general.

Emperor Jianning had a complicated expression on his face, so he didn't call out for a moment.Wu Junyi coughed lightly, and Eunuch Gao stepped forward to help Deng Xian up.

Emperor Jianning seemed to have just come back to his senses, and looked aside, "I'm just such a son, I'll leave it to you."

"I can't guarantee anything." This was Deng Xian's second sentence.

"You...!" Emperor Jianning was angry, and suddenly turned his gaze back, glaring at Deng Xian.

Deng Xian replied calmly: "I originally learned the words of a sage, and I have only a half-knowledge of the art of war. If it is martial arts, His Highness will grow up in the palace and have guards to protect. It is really not necessary, so I said, I can't guarantee anything."

"I wish to learn riding and archery from Mr. Deng, so as to strengthen my body." Wu Junyi's heart was beating very fast.He had originally planned to do so.Every child has a dream of a hero in his heart, and Deng Xian is a living hero in front of his eyes.

Emperor Jianning looked at his son, then at Deng Xian who was unresponsive, and felt even more bored. "You go to Wenhua Palace, don't be an eyesore in front of me!"

Wu Junyi is naturally happy.

He went out of the Qianqing Palace and asked Deng Xian to sit in his soft wife, but Deng Xian refused, so he walked with Deng Xian all the way, greeting his relatives and being very polite, but Deng Xian only replied indifferently from time to time, letting Wu Junyi His enthusiasm was in vain.

The king of Chu was waiting in the Wenhua Hall. Deng came first and then they also greeted each other.

Wu Junyi gave up his seat again, and then said: "Master Deng, you..."

"Wait a minute, Your Highness." Deng Xian suddenly said.

Wu Junyi originally just wanted to have a few words of intimacy, but when he saw that he had something to say, he naturally let him speak first.

"Your Majesty wants the minister to teach His Highness the Crown Prince, the minister has to speak first," Deng Xian was as direct as he was in Qianqing Palace. "Learning martial arts is a kind of kung fu since I was a child. It's too late for Your Highness to start at this age, and ordinary riding and archery skills need to be practiced hard. Your Highness asked me to deal with errands. It's unnecessary. It's better to give up the idea early. I'm going." Your Majesty apologized, just saying that I can't teach His Majesty well."

After hearing the words, both of them were stunned.

Wu Junyi thought that his attitude was low enough, but he heard every word in his ears. He didn't expect that Deng Xian didn't intend to accept his love at all!After all, he is the crown prince and the future emperor, but he just lowered his figure slightly. Which minister, including Zhou Kuang, is not sincere and fearful?

Deng Xian simply looked down on him for asking him to deal with errands!

Blood rushed to his head, Wu Junyi wished he could lift the table and walk away.

His reason is still there, he didn't leave directly after all, it's just that his face is unavoidable.Deng Xian saw it and didn't seem to take it seriously.

Fortunately, the king of Chu is still there.

Wu Muhao said: "Master Deng was summoned to Beijing today, how did the family members arrange it?"

Deng Xian replied briefly: "Go to Beijing together."

"The journey must have been hard. If that's the case, Mr. Deng should go back and rest first."

After the King of Chu sent the man away, he turned his head and asked Wu Junyi, "Why is Your Highness so impatient today?"
