don't fight the general

The scorching sun was in full swing, and the heat was unbearable.

Even though all the doors and windows of the Taining Hall are open, it is still useless. In this weather, there is not even a breeze, and the hot people can't breathe. Yinping carefully fanned Yan Jing, quietly Gently wiped the sweat dripping from his forehead.On the other hand, Yan Jing looked at the memorial in his hand with a slight frown as if he was ignorant.

Yinping just glanced at it quietly, and he roughly understood what it was related to. In the past few days, a lot of memorials like this have been sent. What kind of holy wrath will it provoke.

Of course, civil and military officials are not like this for nothing. It all stems from an oracle some time ago-the current emperor, who is in his prime, suddenly decreed that the youngest son of the late emperor, his own brother, Yan Jue, who was only 14 years old, was the empress dowager My younger brother, I will live in the East Palace and assist in the government affairs.

Speaking of Yan Jing's move, the civil and military officials were not completely unexpected. The current emperor has been on the throne for more than ten years, but he has never married, the harem is empty, and there is no heir under his knees. He was raised by himself and loved very much.It's not that the ministers never wrote letters to persuade them. After all, throughout the ages, how can there be any precedents for emperors not to marry their wives?This is not good for the blood of the royal family, and it is also not good for the great Wei Dynasty.

However, the current emperor is very stubborn, and there are no elders in the harem who can comfort him. No matter how anxious the officials are, they are afraid that they will be accused of deceiving the emperor by accident. In addition, as Yan Jue grows up, his intelligence and dexterity will gradually show. , as the heir to the throne, he is quite qualified. Even if Yan Jing changed his mind and really married a wife and had children, he might not be able to catch up with his excellence.

But there is only one thing that makes everyone very scruples, that is, although Yan Jue's parents died when he was young, he has an extremely powerful mother clan. Today's Holy Majesty trusts, and the Cui family and its faction's cronies are also reused. The more so, the more people are afraid of him. This Yan Jue is the blood of the late emperor, and he will inherit the throne in the future. Naturally, it is justified, but If because of his succession to the throne, the imperial power gradually falls into the hands of his relatives, then who will stop the Cui family?

In the past, the courtiers were just discussing in private, but now that the order of the award is below, everyone has taken action one after another, writing letters to the present emperor with various reasons, and the ultimate goal is only one - it is not impossible for Yan Jue to be the emperor's younger brother. In exchange, would the Cui family want to sell some appropriately, for example, the tiger talisman used to command the three armies that had been held tightly by Marquis Xuanping for more than ten years?

If it is really pursued, these courtiers also have good intentions, and they are also for the continuation of the Great Wei Dynasty. But from Yinping's point of view, these people are really a bit stupid. Only then can I understand what I have done.

But... Your Majesty has been in a bad mood these days, not just because of these few memorials. After all, these courtiers are talking too loudly, and it will not have any impact on the matter that the Holy Majesty has already firmed up in his heart. Your Majesty A large part of the reason for being in a bad mood is actually that Marquis Xuan Ping is not in the capital now.

Last month, Fu Yue, the right general who was far away in the northwest, sent a letter. Of course, Yinping didn't know the specific content. He only knew that within a few days, Cui Wei left for the northwest. It has been nearly a year. In the first few days, Yan Jing didn't seem to respond, but the longer the time, the more ugly his face became.

Thinking about it, since Yan Jing ascended the throne, the world has been at peace. Although there are occasional turmoil in some places, it is not likely that the general Cui Wei, the next general, will go to battle. Therefore, Cui Wei has hardly left the capital, and the two have never had such a relationship. The separation for a long time, let alone Yan Jing, even Yinping, who has been around for a long time, is not very used to it, and I don't know how long the young master will stay in the northwest...

"Snapped!"

The sudden sound interrupted Yinping's thoughts. He turned his eyes and found that it was Yan Jing who had thrown the memorial in his hand into the pile of memorials on the ground, then reached out and flipped through the other memorials on the table, and finally put them down altogether. pen in hand.

Yin Ping immediately understood that Yan Jing was going to rest, so he hurriedly stopped the fan in his hand, and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, the imperial chef is going to understand Shu's ice cream, do you want them to send a copy?"

Yan Jing shook his head, obviously not interested, he got up from the desk, went to look out the window, suddenly remembered something and asked: "Where is Juer, why didn't you see him all morning?"

Yin Ping followed Yan Jing all morning, and had no time to take care of Yan Jue. He frowned and thought about it, and finally shook his head: "I don't know, maybe I'm resting in my bedroom?"

Yan Jing brought up Yan Jue single-handedly, knowing his temperament best, and knowing that his younger brother would not be so peaceful, he just smiled softly, raised his hand and rubbed his sore eyes: "Let him go, as long as he doesn't cause trouble for me. After reviewing the papers all morning, let's go to the imperial garden."

Although the sun is shining brightly outside, the Royal Garden has a place to avoid shade and a lotus pond, which is indeed a bit more boring than sitting on the wall of the palace. Yinping immediately responded, helped Yan Jing tidy up his robes, and followed behind out the door.

Because Yan Jing has never married a concubine for many years, this harem is really deserted. Only some nobles of the former emperor live in it, but they are also far away from the Taining Palace, and they never show up in front of Yan Jing, so they walked all the way. In the garden, I didn't even see a person, it was very clean.

However, after entering the imperial garden, it is another world.

A few servants were standing around the lotus pond, drenched all over, and their faces were still very nervous. They pointed at the lotus pond and talked a lot. When they saw Yan Jing walking over with Yinping, they became even more flustered, and one of them almost slipped. When they got into the water, they rolled and scrambled to stand firm, and hurriedly knelt down to salute.

Yan Jing glanced over their faces one by one, and recognized that these people were Yan Jue's attendants. Just seeing their expressions, she understood most of them, turned her gaze, and glanced at the lotus pond : "What trouble did your Highness get into again? Don't tell me, he fished out the koi I raised in this lotus pond and ate it again?"

Several servants immediately shook their heads and hurriedly denied: "Return to Your Majesty, since His Majesty admonished you last time, our Highness has been very friendly to these koi."

Yan Jing's eyes were fixed on his face: "Since that's the case, what did you do? Where's Ju'er?"

The servants looked at each other, gritted their teeth for the last time, and stretched their fingers to the lotus pond.Yan Jing raised her eyebrows, looked in the direction of their fingers, and found that a thin bamboo tube protruded from the seemingly calm lotus pond at some point, looked down the clear water, and saw the hidden lotus. Among them, Yan Jue was enjoying himself.

Yin Ping was obviously more worried than Yan Jing, pointing to those servants and asked: "What's going on, Your Highness? Are you guys just following His Highness like this?"

"Your Highness said... the weather was too hot, and it was still cool under the water, so he jumped in without any explanation. He didn't know where he learned it, and found a bamboo tube to breathe. The slaves and others followed him into the water to persuade His Highness, but they were caught. One by one he was thrown ashore..."

Yan Jing patiently listened to the waiter's words, let out a chuckle, and waved to Yinping, signaling him that it's okay.He lowered his eyes to look at the leisurely young man in the water, turned his head and looked around, bent down and picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it into the water amid Yinping's exclamation. For a moment, the young man who had been in the water jumped out, spit out the bamboo tube he had been biting in his mouth, floated on the water and looked at Yan Jing with a smile: "Why is Brother Huang here?"

"Come up and talk." Yan Jing put his hands behind his back, raised his brows slightly, "Or do you want me to go down and get you myself?"

Yan Jue waved his hand immediately: "Of course I don't dare to tire the emperor!" After saying that, he wiped off the water from his face, supported the lotus pond, and climbed up easily.Stepping on the soil that had been scorched by the sun for most of the day with bare feet, he couldn't help but frowned and complained, "It's still cool in the water."

Yan Jing ignored it, turned around and walked to the shade of a tree by the pool, found a bare stone slab and sat down, folded her arms and looked at Yan Jue, Yan Jue winked at Yinping, then turned to her few A servant waved his hand, and after driving him away, he approached Yan Jing, smiling and flattering him: "Brother Huang, are you done with your business today?"

"Well," Yan Jing responded casually, and glanced at Yan Jue, "But it's still not as leisurely as His Highness."

Yan Jue only had one coat on his body, and it was dripping wet, but he didn't care. He squatted down beside Yan Jing's legs and looked up at Yan Jing: "Isn't it too hot?" Jing was about to stare again, and added, "I have finished today's homework, and I have read all the books you asked me to read, Brother Huang. If you don't believe me, you can test me!"

Yan Jue has been extremely intelligent since he was a child. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has a photographic memory, and he has never been lazy in his studies. Yan Jing is very relieved of this-but he will never waste any more effort .Yan Jing stretched out her finger and nodded his wet head that was still dripping: "I don't bother with you about these things, but you are no longer a young child, and your status is no longer what you used to be. I don't know how many people in the court are staring at you." .In front of outsiders, especially in front of hundreds of officials, also pay attention to your own behavior."

Speaking of this, Yan Jing couldn't help frowning: "Referring to your uncle's papers is enough to upset me. If you read more from you, I will directly throw you to Cui's house and let your grandmother raise you."

Mrs. Cui is the most old-fashioned and conservative person. Yan Jue is free and unrestrained by nature, and she does not hold back in front of the emperor Yan Jing, but she has to be scruples when facing her grandmother.Ever since my uncle made it clear that he would not marry a wife, my grandmother turned most of her energy to herself. My uncle probably felt that he owed the family something in marriage, so although he was extremely indulgent to himself, he was still under the control of his grandmother. Sometimes, it doesn't interfere much.

Moreover, if he angered his grandmother too much, he might be beaten by his uncle.

Thinking of this, Yan Jue couldn't help touching his nose, and muttered in a low voice: "I know, I will pay attention when I'm outside. When will Uncle Shushu come back?"

As he spoke, he raised his head to look at Yan Jing's face: "Brother Huang, have you not smiled for a month?"

Mentioning Cui Wei and Yan Jing's eyes darkened, he raised his hand and knocked on Yan Jue's head: "Go back and change your clothes, if you get into trouble again, your uncle will not be able to save you when he comes back."

Yan Jue stood up staggeringly: "I don't expect my uncle to come back to save me, but my uncle should be able to save Brother Huang." After he finished speaking, he was afraid that Yan Jing would hit him again, so he immediately took a few steps back and walked towards Yan Jing gave a salute and waved his hands, "I'm going back to change my clothes, so I won't disturb Brother Huang."

After finishing speaking, he disappeared from Yan Jing's sight like a gust of wind.

Yan Jing stared at the empty imperial garden for a while, shook her head with a smile, leaned against the tree behind her, and closed her eyes slightly.The vegetation in the imperial garden is lush and there is a source of water, so it is cooler than the palace. Occasionally there is a breeze, which makes people feel refreshed - but for Yan Jing, there is always something missing.

Just when he felt drowsy gradually coming, he suddenly heard footsteps getting closer, Yan Jing didn't bother to open his eyes, and said lightly: "It's over so soon? Play by yourself, don't bother me."

A hand covered Yan Jing's eyes, and the warm breath of the owner of the hand also spread over, and at the same time, there was a low complaint: "It's only been a month since I haven't seen you, and your majesty is tired of me?"

Yan Jing's eyelashes trembled, and they slid across the opponent's palm, as if his silent heart suddenly became active, and a smile spread from his lips: "It's not as cruel as the general, and it will take more than a month to go away. I thought it was because Fu Yue, an unnamed son-in-law, enjoyed being a concubine, and he also found some kind of princess for the general, which fascinated the general."

Cui Wei slowly let go of his hand, revealing Yan Jing's eyes, and couldn't help leaning over to kiss him lightly: "I have been fascinated by His Majesty for more than ten years, and I can't wake up again."

Yan Jing raised her eyes and looked at the person in front of her. Her face was flushed, and her forehead was covered with sweat. It was obvious that she had returned home after a long journey. As soon as she entered the palace, she found the Royal Garden.Yan Jing couldn't help stretching out her hand, pulled the man to sit beside her, and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Come with me to enjoy the cold, the imperial chef made ice cream today, and someone will send a copy later."

Cui Wei responded lazily, not too hot, leaning his head on Yan Jing's shoulder, squinting his eyes and said: "Let the imperial chef make some more dishes that I like, I am in a hurry to come back this way, I eat and sleep in the open air, but I can't eat it." I suffered a lot."

Yan Jing smiled slightly, pinching his fingers subconsciously: "Who made you insist on going to the Northwest? It's just that Fu Yue has become a father, so just ask someone to send a congratulatory gift."

"Fu Yue and Ayi have been separated by a desert for so many years. It's rare that Ayi finally trusts her nephew to go to Yunzhou to reunite with Fu Yue and give birth to another adopted son. I always have to go there in person. , is worthy of my childhood friendship with Fu Yue." Cui Wei finished explaining, and added, "Besides, I have been away from Northwest for many years, and I still miss it a little bit."

Yan Jing reached out and pinched his face: "Then you don't miss me?"

Cui Wei looked very tired, and even closed his eyes: "Of course I think about it. I think about it day and night. On the first day of departure, I wish I could turn around and come back."

Yan Jing knew that he was coaxing herself on purpose, but she still couldn't help laughing, and lowered her body a little, so that Cui Wei could lean more comfortably.Cui Wei was very satisfied with His Majesty's thoughtfulness, and adjusted his posture accordingly. Most of his body was almost hanging on Yan Jing's body, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes again, and the sound of breathing gradually rose.

Just when Yan Jing thought he had fallen asleep, he suddenly heard the man next to his ear whisper: "Brother Jing?"

"how?"

"I will never leave you for so long again." Cui Wei opened his eyes, looked at Yan Jing's side face for a moment, with a flash of light in his eyes, and said seriously, "I miss you very much during this time. "

Yan Jing looked into his eyes and slowly smiled: "Well, in this life, I will never let you leave my side again."

Cui Wei tilted his head, seemed to consider this question for a while, and finally nodded: "That's fine, anyway, as long as Brother Jing is here, nothing else matters."

Yan Jing reached out and stroked his hair, and said warmly: "Okay, let's go to sleep."

"Call me when dinner is ready."

"it is good."
