In this life, I will drink the long wind

, They were buried by the soil, and the sparse branches and leaves were so sparse that people couldn't recognize them.

"Sister Su, Sister Su, mother asked me to invite you to our house for dinner."

Suddenly, a clear and crisp child's voice rang out, breaking the silence between the two of them.

"Hey, little leaf, why are you here today?" Looking at the girl who walked in, Ning Suqing squatted down, raised her hand and gently rubbed the other's little head, "Sister, there are some medicinal materials here to take advantage of." Let's sort it out before leaving tomorrow, so we won't go through, please tell your mother, Xiao Yezi."

"But mother said, my sister has helped our village so much, and I'm leaving tomorrow. We must treat you to dinner. Uncle Pei and Aunt Lin have brought a lot of food."

"This..." Ning Suqing looked embarrassed.

"Sister Su acts chivalrously and does not ask for anything in return, but this is the wishes of the villagers anyway, so you go, and I will take care of the rest." Yan Zhan smiled, got up and took over the rest of the work, "You Don't worry, although I am injured, you also said it. It's nothing serious."

Ning Suqing thought about it for a while, and said: "Then I will trouble Brother Yan."

Yan Zhan nodded: "It's not a problem."

Ning Suqing turned around, took the little girl with her, and said with a smile: "Let's go, little Ye Zi."

Night fell little by little, and visibility got worse little by little.

Yan Zhan's actions were not very quick, but he still sorted out the medicinal materials in the yard before the sun set and the moon rose.

Ning Suqing never came back, and no one even came to deliver food today.

Yan Zhan couldn't help but pressed his stomach and sighed.

Just be patient.

Another half quarter passed.

The sun was setting in the west, and the stars and the moon replaced the sunset, shining in the sky, and there was a person who stumbled and ran towards him.

Yan Zhan took a closer look.

It was the little leaf who had just left.

"What's wrong with Little Ye Zi?" Yan Zhan quickly stepped forward, supported her, and asked.

"Big Brother, Sister Su... Sister Su." Xiao Yezi's face was tear-stained, her eyes were full of panic, she pointed in the direction of her house tremblingly, and said in a crying voice, "Hurry up and save Sister Su." , parents, Uncle Pei, and those bad guys who always come to rob us of food, they...they bully Sister Su."

The tense string in Yan Zhan's heart broke.

"Sister Su is fine, big brother will bring her back immediately, Xiao Yezi, stay here and don't wander around."

Yan Zhan hurriedly left such an order, and immediately flew out.

However, Yan Zhan was seriously injured, and his hurried footsteps were weak and slightly stumbled. Wherever he passed, fallen leaves swirled, and tree shadows swayed, creating chaos on the ground.

Unexpected.

Yan Zhan imagined that Ning Suqing would be in danger if she left alone, and he also thought that she would be tricked if she was too soft-hearted. He thought about many possibilities, but he didn't think about the present one alone.

Give benefactors to enemies in exchange for their own benefits.

Yan Zhan never expected that people's hearts would be so terrifying.

For a short distance, Yan Zhan felt extremely far away. Tens of thousands of thoughts intertwined in his mind, strangled every nerve of him.

Although Ning Suqing is pure, kind and harmless, he is a man of the rivers and lakes, and it is easy to deal with ordinary robbers and grassroots bandits.As a result, the bandit leader who was spying on him had nothing to do, so he colluded with the people in Yangjiawan to plan to deal with her.

As for the people in Liangjiawan, no matter what their reasons were, the final result was that they sold Ning Suqing. They sold her to the bandits who often came to rob them in exchange for peace.

But how long can such stability last?

It's not that they don't know, it's just that people's greed is endless. Even if they know that they are powerless, they will still be blinded by profit and will not care about themselves.

When Yan Zhan arrived at the place, there was no one outside the house.

Growling, cursing, panting, mixed with obscene laughter, came out unevenly from the only room with lights on.

Yan Zhan yelled in anger, his internal strength was violent for a while, and the wooden door was instantly wiped out when he closed it.

Yan Zhan broke through the door, but saw Ning Suqing confronting seven or eight big men with a broom as a sword.

At this time, Ning Suqing was dressed in rags and showed his demeanor, but the worst thing hadn't happened yet, Yan Zhan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister Su!"

Ning Suqing looked sideways at the sound, and said happily, "Brother Yan!" The bandits surrounding Ning Suqing didn't expect anyone to come, they were surprised for a moment, and before they could react, Yan Zhan jumped forward and protected Ning Suqing behind him.

"Sister Su, are you okay?"

"It's okay." Ning Suqing panted heavily.

"What's going on?" Yan Zhan stared at the bandit in front of him warily, and asked Ning Suqing.

"It's okay, it's just a little aphrodisiac." Ning Suqing replied.

"It's unreasonable!" Yan Zhan was angry, and the coercion suddenly rose, causing all the bandits to tremble with fear, and they retreated one after another.

Yan Zhan took off the outer shirt on his body, without turning his head, he only raised his hand to Ning Suqing.

Ning Suqing took it and put it on her body.

Yan Zhan, who took off his coat, immediately exposed the wound on his body.

Seeing bloodstains on Yan Zhan's chest, the bandits in charge immediately responded arrogantly, cursing and saying: "It's just a wounded brat, since there is a way to heaven, you don't go, and there is no way to hell, you just broke in , then don’t blame you, me, brothers, kill him for me, I’m going to order this fairy fairy today!”

"Good boss."

Hey's lewd|Laughter suddenly sounded again.

Ning Suqing took a step back, she subconsciously raised her hand to press her chest, and her palm felt cold.

Brother Chong...

Ning Su's blue-black pupils unconsciously revealed a softness, but soon that softness was covered by a sharp look, and the hands beside him were clenched into fists, and his beautiful face was tainted with a sense of killing.

"Overestimate your own strength." Yan Zhan sneered, his palms were like lightning, while Ning Suqing used a broom to make sword moves, and the two teamed up to force the attackers back.

But it was only for a moment, and the follow-up was weak.

The actual situation was not optimistic for the two of them. After Jing just ran away, Yan Zhan's injuries worsened, and the tiger fell to Pingyang.

Ning Suqing's hand gestures are up and down, seemingly swaying freely, with astonishing power, but in fact, his true energy has not moved, and the moves he performs are in appearance, and it is difficult to seriously injure the comer.

Soon, the two of them were forced into a corner of the room by a crowd of people waiting.

The bandit leader rubbed his hands, and approached with a lewd|smiling smile: "Little lady, you'd better stop struggling, the taste of this love potion is not good, why hold it back, wouldn't it be good to let my brother love you?"

A scholar can be killed but not humiliated, Ning Suqing made up his mind that he would rather die than obey.

Just when the bandit leader was about to approach.

The sword light protruded, the sword light soared, and the sword energy rippled in the room. Dozens of bandits, their tendons and tendons all came out of their bodies.

The person who appeared from the blood mist had a face as frosty as frost, extremely terrifying.

He obviously heard what the bandit leader said just now.

Seeing someone coming, Ning Suqing said pleasantly: "Brother Chong!"

"Sister Qing."

The arrival of Shen Chong made Ning Suqing completely let go of her defenses. The aphrodisiac drug that she forcibly suppressed exploded instantly, and she staggered. Ning Suqing's footsteps were unsteady and she fell forward.

Seeing this, Yan Zhan raised his hand to help, but his eyes never stayed on Ning Suqing. He turned to Shen Chong and said, "They gave her aphrodisiac."

Shen Chong had just heard this.

In Tongguan, he waited for several days, but Ning Suqing didn't come. In the end, he was worried and rushed here, not wanting to see such a scene.

The face he was eager to meet was right in front of him at this moment, but he was a little timid.

Because, at this moment, what it means to be close, he is very clear, Ning Suqing is also very clear, the three of them are very clear.

Looking at each other silently, for a moment, the surrounding space seemed to condense.

Tonight's moon is very round, and the moonlight is so beautiful, but the candlelight in the house is particularly dim.

Ning Suqing stood up with all her strength, clutching the clothes on her chest with her left hand, her complexion was flushed, and thin beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, Shen Chong had never seen her lose her composure like this.

After a while, Shen Chong figured out all the reasons, and he only gave himself a moment to taste the various tastes brought by this fact.

But this short moment, to Ning Suqing, it seems that three lives have passed.

If there is a low panting sound that seems to be nothing, it gradually becomes audible, Ning Suqing resists not wanting to let out the moan|moan, but the low voice line is vague in the throat, and the muffled snort is even more disturbing to the smell trembling suppressed.

After making a decision, Shen Chong stepped forward and stretched out his right hand to Ning Suqing.

Ning Suqing raised his eyes, took a deep look at Shen Chong, then raised his hand, and handed his right hand to Shen Chong.

Yan Zhan looked at the two back and forth for a while, pondered for a moment, and retreated to the side.

"Qingmei, are you okay?" Shen Chong supported Ning Suqing, half-embracing her in his arms. He looked down at her eyes, clear and clear, three points brighter than a candle.

"Brother Chong, I'm so hot and uncomfortable..." Ning Suqing's brain was completely blank for almost a cup of tea. She knew that her expression must be very embarrassed, but she didn't have the extra energy to hide it. She only knew that Shen Chong was by her side now.

With him around, she feels at ease.

Yan Zhan did not know when he had quietly left, leaving room for the two people in the house.

"With me here, you will be fine soon." Shen Chong said softly.

"Brother Chong, take me away, I don't want to stay in this room."

"it is good."

The rainy night always makes people feel very depressing, the rain keeps on, the wind keeps on, and the depressive feeling of wanton wind and rain hits the face, which makes Yan Xu feel very uncomfortable.

At this moment, Concubine Ning stopped her narration and stared at Yan Xu.

Yan Xu also looked up at Concubine Ning Gui, his eyes were puzzled, his expression was full of surprise, as if he didn't understand what Concubine Ning said, he tilted his head slightly.

"Mother, do you know what you are talking about?"

Yan Xu's voice was very soft and deep, with a hint of bewilderment and panic in his voice, it sounded like he was begging.

Ning Guifei stared at Yan Xu, her eye sockets were a little hot, and her heart gradually became hot, and the pain came and went, but she ignored the pain and continued word by word: "The story is not over yet. .”

"But mother, I'm tired, I'm sleepy." Yan Xu's voice suppressed the great pain, and his whole body trembled violently like a dead leaf in a storm.

"Xu'er, running away won't change the facts."

☆, the death of Shen Chong

Can't let him evade, can't let him evade again, can't let him make mistakes again and again, Concubine Ning cruelly turned her head away from Yan Xu, and continued talking.

"After that night, I introduced the two of them to get acquainted. They talked for a long time and talked a lot that day. From the beginning of the morning to the stars and the moon competing for glory, from the rivers and martial arts to the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, the two of them, no matter in concept , or in terms of thinking, they are all so similar, they cherish each other and hate each other, and that night they set up a marriage ceremony and called each other brothers."

It was a fateful encounter.

All the development, like the wind and thunder hidden in the dark, is bound to burst.The thunder and lightning moved together, tearing apart the shady scene together, and everyone was blown to pieces by the shell named "fate".

Ning Suqing, who was caught in the memory, twitched the corners of his mouth lightly, and said almost sighing: "We didn't know Brother Yan until later. He was Yan Zhan, the eastern capital who was famous all over the world at that time."

Yan Xu didn't move, just quietly looked at Ning Suqing's face as cool as water, on which faint but indelible memories flowed quietly.

"After the matter of Yang Touwan was settled, the two of us left together with Big Brother Yan. In the next few years, they fought in battle, fighting south and north, laying the foundation stone for Daxiang to rule the Central Plains."

What a wonderful time it was. Thinking of those turbulent years, the corners of Ning Guifei's lips couldn't help but smile, but before the smile fell into her eyes, she suppressed it again.

She is still talking, but the tone of her mouth has gradually become calmer, as if all the heavy and sad past have been put down by her, despised by her, abandoned by her, and then dissipated in the wind little by little.

"But power is the most poisonous poison in the world. It can corrupt people's minds unconsciously. Brother Chong, who has tasted the taste of power, gradually changed. He began to become greedy for power. In the end, he even colluded with foreign enemies and rebelled. He wants to kill Brother Yan."

The year 774 in the old calendar was the darkest year in the history of Daxiang.

That year, the temporary palace located in the Eastern Capital was bombed by the Southwest King's conspiracy, causing countless casualties among soldiers and civilians, and the Yan family's imperial line almost withered.

On the night of the deceased's burial, Ning Suqing tossed and turned unable to fall asleep, at that moment she suddenly missed Shen Chong very much and wanted to stay by his side.

But when she arrived at the outskirts camp at night, she couldn't find Shen Chong anywhere.

At this critical moment, why is Brother Chong not on duty?

Surprised, an inexplicable uneasiness surged into Ning Suqing's heart, as if something had changed invisibly.

On the second day, when Ning Suqing casually asked Shen Chong where he was last night, the other party lied to her. Shen Chong said that he had stayed in the camp and never went out.

Why did he lie to himself?

Ning Suqing was puzzled, but did not say anything, and began to pay attention to Shen Chong's every move.

Then she found that Shen Chong was very busy. He was even busier than when they first joined the military camp. He often disappeared for a few days. When she asked herself, she said that it was Yan Zhan who told him.

But Ning Suqing knew very well that Emperor Qi didn't give him any tasks at that time.

All the development gradually deviated from the track Ning Suqing expected.

Until that day comes half a year later.

August eighth.

Ning Suqing will always remember this day, which is the heartbreak of her life.

She will always remember that day, when Shen Chong put medicine in her meal, just to keep her in the camp.

She will always remember that day, it was because of Shen Chong that Yan Zhan could not rush to Fuliu Villa in time to rescue sister Qi.

She will always remember that when she arrived, Shen's rebellion and Shen Chongzhong betrayed their relatives.

She will always remember that sword of her own.

The cold wind howled and rolled up the earth.

"Cousin, you have no way out, stop it." Shen Yan, who led the Shen family to throw at Yan Zhan, looked at Shen Chong, and said admonishingly.

Shen Chong didn't even pay attention to him.

Sunset westward.

Shen Chong stood with his back to the light, his brows were dark and his eyes were dark, he stared coldly at his younger brother, gritted his teeth and said, "Shen Qian, even you want to betray me?"

"Brother, you have gone too far. The two armies are not fighting, but what have you done?" Shen Qian said sadly.

He knew that Shen Qian had always known that Shen Chong had other plans in his heart. A man born in the world has the ambition to annex the world, which is not a bad thing.

Besides, that was his eldest brother. Since he has ideals and ambitions, as a younger brother, why should he be discouraged?

But all of this should be done on an aboveboard basis.

Shen Qian thought that he knew his elder brother well enough. He thought that his elder brother was just as he thought, a man with sense of proportion and conscience.

But he never expected that Shen Chong would join forces with the King of Southwest to do such an inhumane thing!

Shen Qian raised his eyes and looked at Shen Chong, who was in a state of desperation. For some reason, the anger in his heart was suddenly extinguished, and it turned into a cloud that rained heavily in his mind.

He said: "My elder brother is an upright gentleman, not a ruthless executioner like you, I... I don't have a elder brother like you."

"So you already know."

Everyone betrayed their relatives and fell into the current situation. Shen Chong had a premonition that it was because of the revelation of the matter, so after hearing Shen Qian's words, although his tone was raised, he was not too surprised.

Seeing this, Shen Qian couldn't help but dim his eyes again, and even spoke with a bit of despondency.

"You, grab it with your hands."

Shen Chong is currently surrounded by thousands of troops, and around him, there are piles of bones, those are his cronies, and they are all dead now.

Shen Chong lowered his eyes and scanned the corpses piled up beside him one by one. He lost, he actually lost, Shen Chong smiled sadly, everyone stood by Yan Zhan's side, everyone was for him and himself enemy.

Hahaha, Shen Chong laughed softly.

However, after the muffled laugh, his gaze suddenly became fierce, he raised his head, fixedly stared at Yan Zhan, flicked his blood-stained sleeve, raised his arm, and pointed the tip of his sword at Yan Zhan.

"When we first talked, I said that in this world, the virtuous ascend to the throne and the capable hold power, but you have always stepped on my head. How can I not be as good as you? Why can I be as long as I have you? Don't even have a chance to prove yourself?"

Shen Chong glared at Yan Zhan, the two had been sworn brothers for more than ten years, and they had cherished each other for life and death, and it was all because of him that they came to this point.

Shen Chong is very clear about this.

Because he is Shen Chong, Shen Chong who has never been willing to be inferior to others.

"Prove yourself? Are you killing innocent people just to prove yourself?" Yan Zhan was sad, but Yan Zhan was even more angry. What do I owe you, when you decided to conspire with the Southwest King to blow up the palace, you have no choice in the way forward."

Shen Chong laughed and said, "What? Are you going to kill me?"

Yan Zhan's voice didn't change, nor did his spirit. He just looked at him steadfastly.

"You can't kill me. Qingmei saved your life back then. You promised her that you would never do anything to me."

While speaking, the smile suppressed by Shen Chong's throat finally burst out.

He laughed, laughed wildly, and laughed flamboyantly.

The success is on the verge of failure, all the relatives are betrayed, he has nothing, and he can't escape death, but he still has a bargaining chip in his hand, so how can he not laugh?

Death is nothing to be afraid of. From the moment Shen Chong set foot on the battlefield, he put his own life and death aside. He was never afraid of death.

But he doesn't want to die now.

How can he be indifferent if he doesn't want to die but must die?

At this time, he doesn't have to die, so how can he not laugh!

Yan Zhan took a step forward, looking at Shen Chong with unusually dark and deep eyes, filled with streamer light, as if he could see everything, but it seemed like nothing could enter his eyes.

Yan Zhan said: "Kill you, I am sorry for Qingmei, but if I don't kill you, how can I be worthy of the dead souls under the nine springs, how can I be worthy of myself?"

"You want to break the promise?"

Shen Chong unconsciously tightened his grip on the sword. He didn't want to die, he was unwilling, so as long as there was still a glimmer of life left, even if it was to survive, he would live on. As long as he could survive, then he would be able to make a comeback. , he will make everyone who betrayed him die a terrible death!

"Yes." One word, Yan Zhan said resoundingly, "Even if you bear the infamy for thousands of years, I can't let you leave alive today. Second brother, I understand you. You are proud of your talents, and you can't tolerate sand in your eyes. With your personality of vengeance, If you are allowed to leave here alive today, the people who will be present will die in the future."

The thought in his heart was shattered by humanity, Shen Chong's hand holding the sword moved imperceptibly, but he quickly restrained himself, and asked Yan Zhan: "When we swore in the first place, did you ever think that you and I would have today? ?”

Yan Zhan shook his head: "Naturally not."

"You haven't thought about it, but everything happened today, and what you think now, what you think will happen, may not happen after the time has passed, after all, things are unpredictable." At this time, Shen Chong had already He regained his composure, his breath was gentle, and he breathed smoothly, "Are you going to deprive me of the chance to forgive my sins in the future because of the sins of the past? Brother."

Yan Zhan was unmoved: "Death is also a way of redemption, at least it can make those who have been harmed by you rest in peace."

"Oh, death is the only thing that matters, you just want to take revenge, why bother to say it so high-sounding."

Yan Zhan asked back: "Shouldn't I take revenge?"

"Brother Shen!"

But before Shen Chong answered, a call suddenly sounded from behind the crowd.

Everyone looked for the sound, and the crowd spontaneously gave way to a passage, and Ning Suqing walked out slowly with a pale face.

Why is she here, I clearly...?

Shen Chong stared wide-eyed, staring at Ning Suqing without blinking, watching her slowly approaching step by step, seeing the deep pain in her eyes, he even became a little scared, but he couldn't move Opening his eyes, he could only stare at her in a daze.

"Brother Shen, I'm so scared, but I can't find you anywhere." Ning Suqing jumped through the crowd, like a light swallow, Shi Shiran threw herself into Shen Chong's arms,

"Qingmei, you... don't be afraid that I'm here, Brother Shen is here." Hearing that she was afraid, Shen Chong subconsciously comforted her.

But when Shen Chong was comforting Ning Suqing, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.

Shen Chong indifferently pushed Ning Suqing away, lowered his eyes, looked puzzled at the bright red gushing out of his chest, a dagger pierced through his chest fiercely.

Shen Chong raised his head, eyes full of disbelief, and after a long while, he suddenly roared, as if he had really come to his senses at this time.

"why……?"

Ning Suqing groaned, her heart seemed to be ripped open, the pain was so painful that she wanted to die, but Ning Suqing didn't say anything, she just shook her head.

"Why? Younger sister..."

Shen Chong questioned, but Keren walked forward with a wry smile, one step at a time, crossing Ning Suqing and walking in the direction of Yan Zhan, he stared at Yan Zhan, walked a few steps, stopped again, and then slowly , fell to the ground.

In the west, the golden sun has already set, leaving only half of the arc, and the blood-colored dusk is flowing in the sky. The road to imperial power, which has been exhausted and painstaking for several years, has come to an end in such a scarlet dusk.

Shen Chong was not reconciled, he was not reconciled, so even when he fell to the ground, his eyes were still closed, filled with horrifying grief and resentment.

There was a flash of lightning outside the door, and there was a burst of thunder in an instant, and the sparse rain suddenly became heavier, knocking on the window and door mercilessly.

There were thunder and lightning, and the wind and rain continued.

It is completely contrary to Yan Xu's heart at the moment.

Yan Xu is quick-witted and intelligent. In his eyes, life is like a game of chess. He takes one step and sees three moves. He is good at calculating and can easily identify the key points in a chaotic situation. to the very first reason.

It turned out that he...was not the emperor's child at all.

At this moment, Yan Xu felt extremely bewildered, he didn't know what he was showing now, but he could get a glimpse of it from Concubine Ning Guifei's unbearable expression.

It must be ugly.

Ever since he fell in love with Yan Chen, he has been burdened with many secrets, those who can see the light and those who cannot, so he has learned many ways to cover up accordingly, to deal with all kinds of people and all kinds of secrets. occasions.

He shouldn't and can't show such an expression.

But right now, Yan Xu has no time to take care of it. He seems to have been pushed to the edge of a cliff by reality. At this moment, he is walking on a string, and there is an abyss under his feet. He breaks down.

Suddenly, Yan Xu took a step back, and the silk string under his feet snapped.

His life turned out to be just a dream, a complete spring and autumn dream. Because of this dream, he learned to pretend and deceive prematurely.

But in the end, none of his father, his brother, or his true love belonged to him.

The candle wick burst and made a "pop" sound, and the candle light flickered and then brightened again.

"It's really absurd." The silent Yan Xu laughed along with the trembling light, first lightly, and then into an unstoppable laugh.

The laughter gradually became crazy, and finally even broke the sound. The crazy laughter was like an erhu out of tune, shrill and harsh, hoarse and unpleasant.

Concubine Ning stood up suddenly, took two steps towards Yan Xu, then stopped hesitantly, she looked at Yan Xu in pain, her heart was pierced, but she couldn't say a word of comfort.

"Xu'er, child." Every time she called this name, her heart ached twice as much.

In the past, her child had always been so reserved and well-behaved in front of her. She clearly wanted to protect him for the rest of his life, but it was herself who tore up his peaceful life in the end.

When the beliefs that have been insisted on no longer exist, who can do it without being indifferent?

Yan Xu's laughter gradually stopped, a tear slid down his cheek, fell to the ground, smashed to pieces, he could feel Ning Guifei looking at him with surprise, confusion and pity.

But he doesn't need any of these.

☆、Inherit the past and usher in the future

morning.

The sun is pouring down from the sky, and the pavilion beside the Yi'an Hall is dappled with light and shadow. The round tables and stools made of white stone are cool and dry. Emperor Qi sat in it and watched the surrounding scenery quietly.

The sun is boundless, the shadows of trees and flowers, the sound of wind and water, blowing and flowing in an orderly manner, the camellia on the treetops is blown by the wind, a petal on it falls off, hits the white stone steps, splashes a small piece of dust, and faints Mottled all over the place.

Yan Chen stood quietly in the pavilion, waiting for Emperor Qi to speak.

The wind blows his clothes fluttering.

"The imperial concubine came to look for it last night." After a long time, Emperor Qi withdrew his sight-seeing eyes and looked at Yan Chen, saying so.

Yan Chen was taken aback when he heard the words, but he didn't reply, he just closed his eyes and waited for Emperor Qi's next words.

"She hopes that I can name you as soon as possible."

Yan Chen suddenly raised his eyes, pondered for a moment, and asked: "Then Father means...?"

Emperor Qi didn't answer but instead asked: "Do you know why I have not issued an edict to canonize you as the crown prince for so long?"

Yan Chen said: "It's my son's seniority and lack of ability."

Emperor Qi shook his head: "Since you supervised the country, you have ruled the world with literature, benevolent towards world affairs, democratic and magnanimous, able to tolerate courtiers arguing with yourself, accepting advice with an open mind, this is the appearance of a benevolent monarch. Get along well, the cultural atmosphere is relaxed, and the folk atmosphere is active, and it has begun to show signs of prosperity."

Pausing for a moment, Emperor Qi saw Yan Chen's expression changed again, and when his piercing eyes met him, what he showed was a coercive aura of not moving his body.

"Hundreds of years ago, there was such a thriving scene. It was called the best era, but it declined after its prosperity. You should be familiar with it."

The smoke is everywhere, and the name does not live.

Yan Chen naturally knew about the hundreds of years of war in the Central Plains because of this, and also understood the deep meaning of Emperor Qi's mention of this matter at this time.

Yan Chen raised his hands and bowed, and said calmly: "I understand what my father means, and I will take history as a mirror, so as not to let the world repeat the same mistakes."

Emperor Qi gave a low "huh" and raised his hand to signal him not to be too polite: "Yueguan is for me, which means majestic and long-lasting. Being in a high position, you need to have a benevolent heart, but you also need to use thunderous means."

Yan Chen lowered his hands, and said: "My son, remember the teachings of my father."

Emperor Qi raised his eyes to stare at Yanchen, fine dust flew in the sunlight, covering Yanchen completely, the vegetation outside the pavilion was lush, and there was a branch and leaf that entered through the pavilion, full of greenery and vitality, Qidi felt a little bit in his heart With a sigh of regret, he slowly continued: "Although you are the eldest son, you were born in the royal family. Even if you are intelligent and dignified, and have the ability to manage the world, it is not easy for other emperors to submit to you sincerely. If you decide too early, a life that is too smooth will only obliterate the rare killing spirit in your character, and lead to the repetition of the past a hundred years ago, with a sword hanging over your head, sitting on pins and needles, and always in uncertainty , can make people better understand how to use the means.”

This child, whom he had placed high hopes on since he was a child, traveled all the way with integrity and seldom disappointed him. Now seeing the other party standing aside with the bright sky behind him, Emperor Qi couldn't help feeling very moved.

Recently, he suddenly became lethargic, and often fell into a dream for a long time, and his body seemed to be adapting to the long sleep that would never wake up.

It's time to let go.

Thinking about it this way, Emperor Qi finally let go of those unsolved worries and doubts all this time, and then firmly pressed them on Yan Chen.

"The game is like a chess game, and you are the one who makes the move. You only need to hold a steelyard in your heart, understand the pros and cons of each position on the chessboard, and try to guide the pieces back to the right path when they cross the border. If you can't, then abandon it and play again .”

"Killing chickens to warn monkeys, most of the time, is a good way. If you don't kill chickens, more and more monkeys will jump in front of you. Those people under the old second-hand, stay as long as you can, and if you can't, just stay together." Except."

"Don't be afraid of making mistakes. No one is perfect. It's okay to make mistakes. You just need to correct them in time. With Ah Xun by your side, he can guide you to the greatest extent. Of course, you should also remind him in due course, but you must remember that the same Mistakes can only be made once in a lifetime.”

Emperor Qi took his time and spoke eloquently.

Yan Chen stood aside, listening quietly, and finally said: "I understand."

"You really understand?" Emperor Qi asked.

The tone of his voice fluctuated smoothly, as if asking casually, but Yan Chen suddenly felt the pressure on his body increase sharply.

After pondering for a long time, Yan Chen lowered his head and looked up at Emperor Qi, and said, "Father also thinks that my son did something wrong about the second younger brother?"

"Also, it seems that Ah Xun has already mentioned you, so I won't say more." While speaking, Emperor Qi leaned forward and stood up, took a few steps forward with his hands behind his back, passed by Yan Chen, stood still, squinted Staring at the rising sun, he said, "However, you handled it very well in the follow-up. Looking at the world through innocent eyes can give people a new understanding. It is indeed the best strategy for Ziqin to wake up Yu'er." After this encounter, if Yu'er can let go, then he can come under your control, and you don't have to worry if you have him in the south in the future, this disguised gift has established a relationship between the top and the bottom."

At this point, Qi Di paused.

After being silent for a while, Emperor Qi turned around and stared at Yan Chen again, saying: "Although this road has avoided brotherhood, it has carried the pressure of public opinion, and it will be recorded in future history books, not only you, Yao Xun is even more important, you guys Have the two of you made up your mind?"

Yan Chen knew the meaning behind Emperor Qi's words.

Only by ensuring that Yan Ziqin successfully ascends the throne as emperor after a hundred years, will the second brother sincerely assist and submit wholeheartedly.

Then he couldn't, and shouldn't have an heir.

Yan Chen didn't hesitate, his eyes were firm, he took half a step back, lifted his robe and knelt down: "I also ask my father to complete it."

Recently, countless gossip about his relationship with Yao Xun has sprung up in the imperial city. Those speculations that were under the table were instigated by someone with a heart behind them. .

But he and Yao Xun had promised to be together for the rest of their lives.

Therefore, they did not specifically pursue the person behind the scenes.

This thin layer of window paper will be pierced sooner or later.

The only thing Yan Chen cares about is how Emperor Qi will treat him.

Regarding this matter, Emperor Qi didn't care much and waved his hand: "Since I said that I will entrust you with the burden of family and country, then I will not care about it anymore. You can decide how to choose."

Yan Chen nodded and took it down.

After deliberating for a moment, Emperor Qi said again: "There are inevitable ups and downs in life. As long as you know how to adjust yourself, there are no difficulties you can't overcome. But you must remember that the way to be a king is to put the people first."

"My son, I will always remember my father's teachings."

Yan Zhan closed his eyes and felt the warmth of the sun. After a long time, he waved his hands: "Get up, step back."

Yan Chen: "My son will leave."

In the early morning of the next day, Fu An came with the imperial edict, facing the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, announcing the official canonization of Yan Chen as the crown prince, and the canonization ceremony will be held on the auspicious day of the auspicious day two months later.

☆, the rain is coming

It rained last night, and the bluestone-paved streets were still not completely dry. The iron wheels of the carriage passed by, and two ruts were formed, which were not shallow.

In the luxuriously decorated carriage, Yan Xu and Qin Xiangjun sat opposite each other.

The sound of the wheels rolling makes the interior of the car extremely quiet.

But, too|quiet.

Qin Xiangjun thought, such a gloomy tranquility is extremely unsuitable for His Highness the Fourth Highness.

Qin Xiangjun couldn't help raising his eyes to look at Yan Xu, the young man sitting opposite him inherited his mother's appearance, very handsome, but without any sense of femininity.His nominal disciple has a pair of very bright eyes, like stars, and he is very cute and beautiful when he smiles, but at this moment, his eyes are half closed, his face is expressionless, and his whole person seems to be separated by a thick layer of scorpion. dense fog.

This fourth prince, who was very different from the past, made Qin Xiangjun feel strange.

Yan Xu sat up straight with her eyes closed.

He was thinking, brooding.

Of course Yan Xu knew that Qin Xiangjun was looking at him with probing eyes. He had always played the role of an open-minded, motivated and studious man in front of Qin Xiangjun.
