In this life, I will drink the long wind

He shouldn't have shown such a positive image in front of his eyes, but now, Yan Xu did so.

Unexpected news arrives.

When Yan Xu was caught off guard, a small opening seemed to be opened in his heart because of this, and warm blood gushed out, stinging his wounded heart, but it couldn't bring any warmth to his heart. .

He really wasn't his own, Yan Xu laughed at himself.

The favor that Emperor Qi had given him in the past completely disintegrated at this moment.

He is not even willing to give himself a chance, just because he is not his son at all.

Thinking of this, Yan Xu's face turned dark, and what was stirring in his chest was an emotion called anger.

"Your Highness." Seeing that the expression on Yan Xu's face became more and more ugly, Qin Xiangjun couldn't help calling out.

Yan Xu suddenly regained consciousness.

The atmosphere was a bit stalemate for a while, but fortunately Yan Xu was alert enough and always good at invigorating the atmosphere. I saw him blinking, his expression returned to normal, he slightly touched the corners of his mouth, and his voice warmly broke the silence in the car.

"I don't know why the teacher came to see you in such a hurry."

Qin Xiangjun looked at Yan Xu, and now the other party had returned to normal, the expression on his face was the same as usual, as if the gaffe just now was just his own illusion.

The wheels rolled over the ground and moved forward smoothly.

After a while, Qin Xiangjun let out a long sigh and said: "The old minister is incompetent and unable to help His Highness realize his wish. Now that everything is settled, I ask Your Highness not to delay your future because of this."

Yan Xu was very puzzled, and asked back, "What does the teacher mean by this?"

"Your Highness is a talent of heaven, with a unique vision and excellent skills in governing the world. It has only been two years, and the old minister is already ashamed of being called a teacher in front of His Highness, but now the overall situation has been settled. His Highness will succeed the crown prince. Although the old minister feels regretful, But I have to accept it, and please don’t mind, Your Highness.” After a pause, Qin Xiangjun stared at him, and then said earnestly, “Your Highness is always admonishing, and I believe that your future political ambitions, Your Highness, will be smooth and unimpeded. "

Hearing this, Yan Xu smiled leisurely, tilted his head, and said naively: "Not to mention that the canonization ceremony has not yet been held, it has already been held, and the world is impermanent... Teacher, you said this early, right?"

Qin Xiangjun couldn't help being startled, and then his eyelids twitched. The young man on the opposite side, dressed in fine clothes, sat dignifiedly, talking in a rambling voice, without any particularly fierce aura, but there was a leisurely embrace of the world invisibly.

Yan Xu raised his eyes and looked deeply at Qin Xiangjun. After a long time, he blinked, opened and closed his eyes, wiped away the smile on his face, and replaced it with solemn eyes: "Master Qin, you once said that you will do your best to help this prince." , this promise, I wonder if it still counts now?"

Qin Xiangjun froze on the spot as if struck by lightning, his chest was beating rapidly, and the beating sound was clearly audible.

The matter has come to this point, if the other party does not give up, there are not many ways to do it, only...

The more he thought about it, the more alarmed Qin Xiangjun became. His eyes widened in disbelief. The determination he had made earlier began to waver at this moment.

It has been three years since he became the master of the fourth prince. At first, it was because of the request of the great hall, and later because of his own ambition. But as time went by, Qin Xiangjun did value Yan Xu more and more, and he also believed from the bottom of his heart that he could Become a good emperor, so as to help him sincerely, but in the help Qin Xiangjun can give, there is absolutely no such thing as seeking power to usurp the throne, killing brothers and fathers.

How quickly Yan Xu's thoughts turned, how could he not know where Qin Xiangjun's bottom line was?But he still asked.

With a calm expression, he asked nonchalantly, as if it was just a common question, just like other questions he had asked Qin Xiangjun in the past.

Why?

In fact, from the moment Qin Xiangjun appeared in front of his carriage, a ray of inspiration suddenly flashed in Yan Xu's chaotic heart, and he had an idea at that moment.

This idea is both wonderful and dangerous.

Sure enough, Qin Xiangjun fell silent.

Yan Xu didn't force him, just watched and waited quietly.

There was a dead silence in the carriage, and the atmosphere was depressing and tense.

The horses rumbled forward on the wheels, and soon arrived at the fourth prince's mansion.

Outside the curtain, Yu Qingyuan sent someone to move the sedan chair, looked outside the carriage for a while, and vaguely saw the two people inside sitting opposite each other, the atmosphere was anxious, so he didn't bother, just stood aside respectfully and waited.

Yan Xu still looked at Qin Xiangjun, and the other party still didn't answer his question.

Time passed in silence.

Qin Xiangjun didn't squint, and looked straight ahead, with nothing wrong with his expression, the same as before, silent and unsmiling, as if the problem Yan Xu just had didn't exist from the beginning to the end.

Seeing this, Yan Xu laughed first, and said, "Here we are."

Qin Xiangjun seemed to have noticed that the carriage had stopped at this time, his eyes shifted slightly, turned to the outside of the sedan chair, and finally settled on Yan Xu's face, and raised his hand to signal: "Your Highness, please first."

Yan Xu nodded, was about to get up, but stopped, and said: "A few days ago, I got a can of good tea, the teacher might as well stay and taste it together."

Qin Xiangjun shook his head: "The old minister still has other matters to attend to at home, so I won't stay any longer, and I will thank you for your highness to see me off."

Yan Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, pretending not to understand, this is a kind of person who is more terrifying than pretending to understand, and also makes him dislike even more.

"Teacher, if you don't intend to stay longer, then I won't force you, but I hope that you will accept my prince's kindness, and just take this car and turn around."

In a word, Yan Xu said it clearly, but Qin Xiangjun was very heartbroken when he heard it.

It's okay if you don't help me, but don't get in my way.

After finishing speaking, Yan Xu didn't give Qin Xiangjun a chance to refute, so he raised his hands and opened the curtain directly, intending to walk out.

But when the curtain was raised, Yan Xu seemed to think of something again, turned around, and smiled slightly, as usual, gentle and humble, his frank eyes instantly dispelled the tense atmosphere, and he said softly: "The student just now is not good enough. I suddenly remembered the past, so I just asked the teacher for advice, the teacher don't have to take it to heart."

After saying that, Bi Yanxu turned and walked out.

"One world, in the eyes of different people, there are different interpretations, some people regard it as hegemony, and some people read it as common people, so what about His Highness?" Qin Xiangjun raised his eyes, looked at Yan Xu through the curtain and asked.

Yan Xu got off the carriage and stood firmly on the ground.

Qin Xiangjun looked through the curtain of the car, the young man with his hands behind his back looked up at the sky, his handsome face had a resolute expression. In the mansion, disappeared behind the vermilion gate.

However, the sentence he uttered still remained in the air.

"The world is just the world."

Esoteric speech is undoubtedly one of the most cunning tricks. Yan Xu actually did not give an answer to Qin Xiangjun's question.

Qin Xiangjun's heart sank again.

Is it true that people have to be hurt, tired, and harmed by the things they pursue all their lives?Is it true that no one can escape this tragedy of life?

The wheel that was rolling again carried Qin Xiangjun step by step away from the gate of the fourth prince's mansion. In fact, he should get off the carriage at the corner not long after leaving the palace gate. Government is not the same way.

"Your Highness, Lord Li is here, and I have sent someone to invite him to the front hall."

Yan Xu nodded, and walked towards the front hall in large strides without stopping.

At this moment, the expression on Yan Xu's face has completely changed. When he entered the door, the resolute and majestic young man gradually revealed his most essential appearance. The man who was driven to a desperate situation by reality, his brows and eyes were full of sharp aggression. He watched from a distance. Li Qing, with deep eyes, looked like a fierce tiger ready to go, vowing to destroy everything.

Half an hour later, Li Qing showed a look of hesitation and rushed away.

In the room, Yan Xu sat alone on the main seat, raised his gaze to watch Li Qing's leaving figure, with a sense of indifference in his heart, neither sorrow nor joy.

I can't bear to lose it all, if it's going to happen, then give it a go!

Either get it all, or lose it all.

Yu Qingyuan, who sent Li Qing away, turned around the room, bowed and said, "Your Highness."

Yan Xu waved his hand: "Back off, let me stay alone for a while."

Yu Qingyuan opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

For some people in this world, everyone is just a tool to calculate gains and losses, even himself is the same. For such people, persuasion is useless, because they understand it all, but they just cannot accept it. .

"Yes." Yu Qingyuan gave Yan Xu a worried look for the last time, then turned and exited the door, but did not go far, just waited outside the door, forbidding others to approach.

It's fake, everything is fake, but why is it that everything is fake, but the pain he feels at this moment is so real?

Yan Xu covered his heart with his hands, with a puzzled expression on his face.

Yan Xu suddenly felt that it was ridiculous. What he wanted was actually not much, but it was so difficult. Obviously he no longer insisted, he took a step back, but why did he fall into the abyss after this step? What about it?

He has nothing left.

Yan Xu's heart was in turmoil, he was in pain, and this pain, it was not so heart-piercing, it lasted for a while.

The author has something to say: too!Be quiet, too!Where is Ann worth blocking? ? ? ?Toxic

☆, the trend of the world has become

In the afternoon, the study room was silent, flowers and branches trailing shadows on the window paper, and the sound of pearls and jades occasionally sounded, which was the sound made when the jade pendants collided in the clothes room during the action.

Yan Chen held the imperial brush and wrote in front of the imperial table.

He is giving the memorial and giving the final instructions.

Yao Lingyun was sitting at the side with a book in his hand, but he didn't read it, but propped his head up to watch Yan Chen write stroke by stroke.

A quarter of an hour ago, Yan Chen asked Yao Lingyun's opinion from time to time while giving instructions, but right now, the rest are not important matters, and he no longer asks the other party's opinion, and decides everything by himself.

Yao Lingyun stared at Yan Chen, who was holding a pen and writing, and the drooping eyelashes concealed the thorough concentration in his eyes. From his angle, he felt a little lonely and cold for no reason.

Yao Lingyun couldn't help but put down the scroll in his hand and stood up.

The inkstone in front of the other party was almost approaching ink, Yao Lingyun walked to the desk and rolled up his sleeves to grind it for him.

There was silence all around, but the sound of grinding ink was clearly audible.

There was enough ink, Yao Lingyun stopped and put down the ink stick, and glanced sideways at the memorial that Yan Chen was processing.

It was a letter of greeting, which came from southern Fujian. If he remembered correctly, such a memorial would be sent to the imperial city from the governor's mansion in southern Fujian every month.

The governor of southern Fujian is really... speechless.

The twilight is all together, the rays of the sun are like practice, the evening breeze is blowing gently, and the sound of the wind pouring in through the window is like a whisper.

When Yan Chen wrote the last word and put up his sleeves to put down the pen, Yao Lingyun poured a cup of tea and handed it to him. His smiling eyes were so clear that it made people's hearts flutter.

"Thank you." Yao Lingyun said with a smile.

Yan Chen took the teacup, took a sip, and knowing what the other party meant, he smiled helplessly: "It's also a heart."

Yao Lingyun raised his eyebrows when he heard the words: "Only you can see it like this."

Can you see it?

Despondency flitted across Yan Chen's face as quickly as sparks, and a sense of loss followed, Yan Chen got up and walked to the window, staring at the sky, the feeling of loneliness and coldness all over his body became stronger.

"I heard that you met your fourth brother on your way into the palace in the morning?"

Yao Lingyun was startled, then nodded: "Yes."

In the imperial garden, meet by the lake.

This is the season when bamboo withers.

Under the sunshine, the pure white bamboo flowers are in full bloom. In the bamboo forests, the bamboo leaves are not as emerald green as in the past, but clusters of yellow surrounded by clusters of green.

Yao Lingyun leaned over and saluted: "I have seen the Fourth Highness."

Yan Xu glanced at him halfway, and after a long time, he raised his hand slightly to signal the other party to excuse him.

Now the atmosphere of their conversation is not as tense as before, the long-term confrontation and changing positions have worn away Yan Xu's disguise.They have already learned about the other party's position and pursuit, and they also know that some emotions are just means to cover up the real purpose. Now that everything is exposed to the sun, there is no need to use these means.

Yao Lingyun got up and looked at Yan Xu, then turned his eyes slightly, and landed on Li Qing who was half a step behind him, nodded slightly to signal, then turned back, said with a smile: "Your Highness has been very busy recently."

The dew that condensed all night by the roadside fell from the bamboo shoots, splashing the autumn cold on the ground.

Yan Xu raised his chin slightly to look at Yao Lingyun, who were at a similar physical height, but Yan Xu's eyes were condescending: "Daxiang is my Yan family's world, and this prince should do these things, but you, Master Yao, have worked hard .”

"The salary of the king of food, of course, His Royal Highness is serious." Yao Lingyun responded with a gentle smile without changing his smile.

Hearing this, Yan Xu smiled, and with this smile, the gloom on his face disappeared, and he said in the same gentle voice: "Master Yao is so devoted to his duties, and it is my great fortune to have a minister like this."

"It's all a matter of duty, Your Highness praises it very much, I'm ashamed to accept it." Yao Lingyun bowed his body in fear and fear, paused, and then said, "The autumn cold dew is heavy, and the autumn wind is not blowing, so Xun will not disturb Your Highness any more. "

"Oh?" Yan Xu didn't seem to hear the second half of his sentence, raised his brows lightly, and said in a low voice, "Since your lord deserves to be ashamed, why don't you resign?"

There was a sudden noise in the forest, startling countless birds, Yao Lingyun sighed inwardly, then raised his head and looked directly at Yan Xu.

"Although the search power is small, I don't want to give up."

The morning sun rose from the east, but it failed to take away the chill, and the wind that blew past added another bit of bleakness and cold to this late autumn.

Yao Lingyun blinked, and continued: "Just like this wind, although it is small, it can still make waves when it comes together, and Xun only wants to be one of them."

Yan Xu narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing this.

The two opposing people had their own minds, and were at a stalemate for a while.

After a long time, Yan Xu turned around and stood with his back.

At the end of autumn, the scenery in the imperial city of Dongdu is always good. Right now they are on the shore of the lake in the imperial garden, and they can see the beautiful scenery by turning around slightly.The surface of the lake is sparkling with golden light, and the golden chrysanthemums on both sides of the pavilion in front are in full bloom.

"Knowing that I can't do it, but I still have to force it, be careful to the end..." At this point, Yan Xu turned his body sideways, his eyes drooped slightly, and a few tree shadows flew over his face like clouds, and the voice of his voice It was warm, unexpectedly a bit cute, "It's not worth the loss to hurt others and yourself."

The sky, the lake, the shadows, the water and the sky are the most obvious places, but Yan Xu is caught in the entanglement of emotions and attachments in such a scene.

The long front is easy to break, especially the relationship between people.

Yao Lingyun smiled slightly when he heard the words, and his voice didn't waver: "The final result, at worst, is just a life. If you don't rely on your life, how can you call it sharing weal and woe?"

As soon as he heard this, Yan Xu's eyes suddenly gathered hostility, murderous aura flourished.

The words of life and death, and the words of sharing weal and woe completely destroyed the expression on Yan Xu's face. Yan Xu naturally knew who the person in distress Yao Lingyun was talking about, and stared at Yao Lingyun with fierce eyes.

"Why do you control other people's lives?"

Yao Lingyun was surprised, and then said with emotion: "This sentence comes from the mouth of the Fourth Highness, and I feel it is very subtle."

Yao Lingyun is a person who usually looks gentle and soft-spoken, but once he sits down to make a decision, his persistence is unshakable. It's just a method, and with Yao Lingyun's intelligence, there are very few methods that can work on him, and very few people can change his mind.Even Yan Chen couldn't do it, but fortunately, he and Yan Chen had no differences in major matters, and the two of them were happy to accommodate each other in minor matters.

Therefore, Yan Xu's questioning had no effect on Yao Lingyun.

Yan Xu snorted coldly, and left immediately without looking at anyone.

"The tide of the world has come, so why not His Highness follow the tide instead of being a person against the tide?"

Yan Xu stopped walking when he heard that, but didn't turn around.

Just now when I heard Yao Lingyun's nonsense words, Yan Xu didn't intend to talk nonsense with him. It was not because he had nothing to say. If necessary, he could give a thousand and ten thousand reasons to ridicule him. No more words, just because he is clear, more words are useless.

He won't look back.

He seldom even regretted it. In fact, the more others reminded him, the more resolutely he stepped forward. It was not out of anger or revenge, just because these reminders made him see once again what he had gone through in the past. Road, he paid such a high price to finally come to this day, how could he give up because of the unknown future?

If he gave up like this, how could he be worthy of everything he had endured in the past?

"A person's fate in life will change according to circumstances. This prince's journey to this day is also the trend of the times. If one wants to establish the present existence by negating the past, then both the past and the present will be lost. And I don't want to I lost my past and my future."

The conversations between them have always been confrontational, not giving in to each other, especially Yan Xu's treatment of Yao Lingyun, but this round they are not, there is no argument, no anger, but just a different view of the world.

The words have come to this point, there should be no more words, but when thinking of Yan Chen, Yao Lingyun couldn't help but say again: "Your Highness, he won't want to see you like this, that is the last line of defense for both sides, once it is over , there is really no room for maneuver anymore.”

"Everyone has his or her own path, and it is my responsibility to take other people's choices as my own..." Yan Xu suddenly stopped talking, and was silent, the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus was faintly wafting in the air, Yan Xu Suddenly stretching out his hand, the invisible autumn wind slipped from between his five fingers, "This is what I like most about him."

"you……"

Yao Lingyun opened his mouth, but didn't say anything more, because the other party turned around, and there was neither sadness nor joy in his eyes. At that moment, Yao Lingyun felt an inexplicable bleakness coming from Yan Xu's eyes, and he couldn't continue.

When I heard Yan Chen mention Yan Xu's feelings for him.

Yao Lingyun was surprised, but when he thought about it again, he suddenly found the answer to some things that he couldn't figure out before.

No wonder the other party didn't want to see me so much.

It turned out that he not only respected him, but also admired him.

Yan Xu looked at him and smiled: "Why, do you think I'm pitiful, or crazy?"

"Does Your Highness need to be pitiful?"

Yan Xu didn't answer, just raised his chin, his eyes were full of unbridled contempt: "I think that being crazy is the minimum respect for him, you have to be careful, because I won't let you go."

After finishing speaking, Yan Xu smiled coldly, turned and left.

Thinking of the conversation between the two at that time, and Yan Xu's sneer when he left, it was really not a pleasant conversation. In fact, most of the interactions between him and Yan Xu were not pleasant. The conversation between the two of them was always accompanied by Sarcasm and sarcasm have become more serious recently. The fourth highness showed his sharpness. He completely discarded the cute mask that he wore on his face in the past, and the sharp words turned into swords and swords swept straight at Yao Lingyun.

Yao Lingyun smiled helplessly, and said: "However, by chance, you already knew about it, so it seems that the palace's defenses have been completed?"

Yan Chen nodded.

Yao Lingyun turned his head and looked at the bright sunshine outside the house and sighed: "It's really raining and the wind is all over the building." After thinking for a while, Yao Lingyun turned back, looked at Yan Chen and said, "Although the guard needs to be dispatched by people and horses, but recently The commotion in the palace is too loud."

The incense in the stove on the side table kept burning, and the green smoke curled up, as if a layer of gauze had been separated from the room.

Seeing that the person was silent and did not answer, recalling what Yan Xu said today, Yao Lingyun sighed again: "But your painstaking efforts may not be of any use."

Yan Chen also sighed, and said, "Do your best."

Yan Chen is still trying his best, he wants to use a more gentle method than fighting to make Yan Xu retreat.

Yao Lingyun nodded: "As long as you don't hide it from me like last time, it's fine."

Yan Chen: "I understand."

Yan Chen is still hoping that Yan Xu can turn around.

Of course, he has long passed the age of judging right and wrong based on emotions alone, and he also knows that the greater the responsibility on him, the more cautious and thoughtful he must be in every move.

The current decision was also made by Yanchen after considering all the circumstances and weighing the pros and cons.

They have all the advantages in the current situation. In such a position, it is okay to be more tolerant and give the other party a chance to turn around.

Well, it was his family after all.

Yao Lingyun also understood all these deep meanings, so he didn't dissuade Yan Chen, as long as the other party didn't want to keep him in the dark like last time, everything would be fine.

When you care too much about one thing, you will inevitably be led away by it.

Seeing such a demeanor, Yao Lingyun turned his eyes and changed the subject: "Recently, there are more and more folk stories about the two of us. I roughly counted and there have been dozens of versions."

Yan Chen naturally knew the other party's intentions, acted like he was interested, and asked with a smile, "How many versions did you make up?"

Yao Lingyun blinked: "You guess?"

Yan Chen turned his head to think for a while, and said after consideration, "About ten or so."

Yao Lingyun clapped his hands immediately and praised: "Your Highness is indeed His Highness, you can guess right."

"You." Yan Chen looked at Yao Lingyun with a smile, and shook his head helplessly, but a trace of solemn admiration leaked out from the corners of his eyes, "Baihualou's move is the first move of the game. It's really amazing."

"Father always warned about the importance of intelligence." Yao Lingyun nodded in agreement, "The most important thing for a dynasty to maintain long-term stability is to know the thoughts of the people in the world, and guide them with goodwill at the right time. The combination of blocking and blocking can make Daxiang's rule stronger." After a pause, Yao Lingyun raised his eyes to stare at Yan Chen, and then said, "But before that, the internal conflicts in the royal family need to be dealt with first, so that we have the opportunity to face other issues. Ups and downs."

Yan Chen looked at him, but didn't reply right away, his eyes were sharp and his thoughts were unclear: "This palace is always not peaceful." While speaking, Yan Chen's drooping eyelashes concealed the indifference and thoroughness in his eyes. Cursing his lips, his expression softened, and he stretched out his right hand to Yao Lingyun, "It's the same in this world, and I'm afraid there will be rainstorms in the future."

Yao Lingyun raised a smile, stared at Yan Chen's calm face, put his hand into the other's hand, and said, "It's okay, I will walk through this storm with you."

Hands clasped, ten hands entangled.

"At the beginning, my father said that you are my companion, I want to protect you, share the wind and moon with you, and use my strengths to benefit the people, but in the end, I let you and I bear the storm and the burden behind me. Commentary on history books."

Yao Lingyun raised his eyebrows: "Why, you regret it, are you going to regret it?"

Yan Chen shook his head: "No, it's just a feeling."

Yao Lingyun: "The emotion is over, what advice does Your Highness have?"

Yan Chen: "Traveling in the wind and rain is a very good taste in life, and I will trouble Xun Qing to give me a lot of advice in the future."

Yao Lingyun held the corners of his lips and smiled. The name in front of him and the affairs behind him are meaningless to him.

"It's not necessary to have emotion, I have ambitions, have you forgotten that His Majesty once commented on me?"

The setting sun passed through the window and outlined Yao Lingyun's face. Light and shadow intertwined on his face to form an ambiguous and simple scene. Yan Chen looked at it, and his heart suddenly relaxed.

"The young man is not yet old enough to tie his hair, but his chest has already become a cave of his own. It's my fault. I shouldn't have underestimated your spirit."

Yao Lingyun shook Yan Chen's hand, humming and said, "It's good to know, how do you plan to compensate me?"

"Okay, okay, whatever compensation you want, you have the final say."

Yao Lingyun nodded in satisfaction, and finally put away the joke on his face, and said solemnly: "Although not everything goes well, it's not that everything goes wrong. Such talents are worth searching for all the way."

Yan Chen: "You're right."
