Chapter 81

Outside the Minghua Hall, the new wind is blowing vigorously.

The vegetation is prosperous and withered, and there are seasons.In winter, even if the sky and the earth are fine, as far as the eye can see, it is a cold and cold scene.

Yun Chenya left the palace, instead of taking a carriage, she led the three of Bai Gui and wandered around the southern capital.Bypassing a small alley, the bustle of the city is blowing in your face.

"Zheyue Building." Tail Wolf closed his folding fan and pointed at a plaque, "This building has a magnificent name. I heard that Daying has Lanyue Tower and Zhaixing Pavilion. Looking at its meaning, but I want to take the things in the sky as my own. However, the word "folding the moon" not only claims that man will conquer the sky, but also has the meaning of competing with the destiny. Don't you know that the smallest thing in this world is man, the most insignificant Those who are overwhelmed are also human beings.”

After saying this, the three of Bai Gui were stunned.

The words "overestimate one's strength" carried a self-deprecating tone, and Yun Chenya clearly meant herself.

too.Just now in the Minghua Palace, he argued with Yu Wenshuo, seemingly majestic, but he calmed down and thought, if Yun Chenya is like this, how could he not be forced into a desperate situation by the Northern Twelve Kingdoms?How could he not be bragging?

"Eldest Young Master." Bai Gui pondered for a moment and said, "Eldest Young Master has served the country and the people for several years. This old slave has seen it in his eyes and engraved it in his heart. However, regardless of the family, the country and the world, in all the decisions made by the Eldest Young Master, The number today has just ended sonorously, which makes the minister most heartbroken."

Yun Chenya laughed: "You will avoid the important ones."

Situ Xue said: "This subordinate agrees with old Mr. Bai. The old gentleman is not avoiding the important ones, but trusting the eldest son."

"Me too. This subordinate has been with the eldest son for more than ten years. As long as it is the eldest son's decision, no matter how big or small, he will go through fire and water, and he will not hesitate."

Yun Chenya was taken aback for a moment, "Oh, you..."

Before the words came out, he stopped.His gaze passed over Sikong Xing, and landed on a figure at the corner of the street.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this." Yun Chenya said, "Since we left the palace, that man has been following us. Sikong, go and meet him."

Sikong Xing was silent for a moment, then turned around.The person on the street is none other than Sikong Xing's third brother, Sikong Yu.

Seeing this, Sikong Yu limped over without waiting for Sikong Xing to pass by.

He cupped his hands with Yun Chenya, and said: "Prince, I... No, Caomin, Caomin wants to say a few words to my second brother Sikong Xing. I don't know, I don't know..."

Yun Chenya was taken aback for a moment, glanced at Sikong Xing, and suddenly laughed again.

A while ago, Si Kongyu had come to look for Sikong Xing several times, but he kept hitting a wall.Come to think of it, Sikong Yu learned to be smart today, knowing that he must first get the approval of the cloud tail wolf.

This somewhat impulsive and somewhat bewildered appearance looks like Jing Feng when he was a child.

Yun Chenya smiled and said: "This is his business, why ask me?"

Sikong Xing breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at Sikong Yu: "What's the matter?" After a pause, he couldn't help asking, "Has your body ever gotten better?"

"It's much better. I'm a martial arts practitioner, and I can still handle eighty boards." Sikong Yu said.

He was silent for a moment, looked at Yun Chenya again, and said hesitantly: "Prince, there is one more thing... I want to invite my second brother home today, because I will not be going on a long trip in the future, and I hope that my second brother can be with you." Me, get together with big brother."

"Going far away?" Sikong Xing frowned, "How come?"

"I……"

"Forget it, Sikong, you can go with your third brother."

"Eldest son?"

Yun Chenya shook her fan calmly: "These few days are free and I have nothing to do. Besides, you have been my bodyguard for more than ten years. It's time to rest."

Hearing these words into Sikong Xing's ears, it seemed that he had other intentions.

Sikong Xing was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, the cloud-tailed wolf had already greeted Baigui Situ Xue and walked to the other side of the street.

Bypassing Sanqu Lane and crossing Badaowan is a small canal.There are trees beside the canal, but unfortunately the leaves have fallen and only the branches are left.

The cloud-tailed wolf walked along the lake for a while, and stopped suddenly. He built a tent on his brow bone with one hand, looked at the sky, and said, "Situ, for the next few days, pack your bags and go with Sikong."

Situ Xue was shocked: "Young master, this subordinate—"

"Remember what I said to you in Minghe side garden that day?"

The situation was precarious that day, but Yun Chenya said inexplicably: Pick a good day and marry you to Sikong.

"This subordinate remembers, but..."

"That sentence, I'm not joking." Yun Chenya said.He walked a few more steps along the small canal, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked towards the green hills in the distance, "Now, Sikong Yu is going to go with Du Liang to a wild land. Sikong Xing's eldest brother has a leg problem and cannot accompany him."

"Sikong Bo doesn't have the care of his third brother, and he doesn't have the backing of Du Liang. It's reasonable for Sikong to stay and take care of his elder brother."

Situ Xue was stunned, and said, "But, in Sikong's heart, the word loyalty is more important than anything else. He also said just now that as long as the eldest son has needs, he will go through fire and water..."

"Although I am not a kind person, I am not unreasonable. Others respect me one-third, and I will remember it in my heart. Sikong has been with me for 14 years. He is loyal, benevolent, and dedicated to his duties. Now, he is reunited with his brother. Jun'an's family, I have no reason to keep him."

"Furthermore——" Yun Chenya turned around, "What can a guard do in the future? When he grows old and his physical strength weakens, should he be kept in the official career and let him enter the imperial court?"

Yun Chenya shook her head: "Although Sikong is capable, but he is too upright and upright, the ups and downs of the officialdom, and the treacherous place of Bo Yun are not suitable for him."

"However, if the eldest son succeeds, Sikong can continue to assist..."

"Then what if one day he offends someone in the court?" Yun Chenya asked back, "Even if I succeed to the throne, I will never destroy any power in the court because of a clean and honest minister.

This is the essence of ancient emperors governing the country.Some people say that we should punish chaotic parties, some people say that we should punish relatives, and some people say that all filthy people should be punished.But they don't know that the real way of the emperor is to override it and keep the forces of all parties maintaining a balance point.No one dared to make trouble, and no one dared to touch anyone.In this way, the emperor's throne can be regarded as secure.

"So, as far as Sikong is concerned, it is better to let him stay in Nanjun and live an ordinary life than to be a high-ranking man in the court in the future."

Situ Xue's throat was astringent, he thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said: "But Situ is still willing to follow the eldest son, if the eldest son orders, Situ will go through fire and water, and will not refuse."

"Why can't you figure it out?" Yun Chenya laughed, "Although Sikong is dull, he is a man of love and righteousness. You agree with him, why bother to separate? You can marry a daughter-in-law in the marketplace. Marrying into a husband's family and living an ordinary life is a rare thing in this world. I am so envious, but you shirk it?"

"I--"

"Forget it, if you listen to my words, go to find Sikong now. If you don't listen to my words, it means that you no longer recognize me as the master. What happens in the future, you will fend for yourself."

Bai Gui went back to Yun Mansion with Yun Tail Wolf alone.

The environment is born from the heart.Although Sikong and Situ hadn't left yet, the huge courtyard looked particularly deserted now.

Xiaotang from the Shu family went back to Tanghua Alley.Bai Gui wandered around the Yun Mansion with the wolf on his tail.Turning to the deserted garden, Yun Chenya suddenly pointed at the open space, and said: "Earlier, I told Xiaotang that I would plant some peach blossoms and crabapples here. When autumn came, I was quite diligent, so I came here and looked around. The soil has fallen flower seeds. Looking at it now, I don’t know when I will see the branches full of flowers here.”

The barren garden is full of vines and luxuriant smoke.At the end of the day, a cool breeze suddenly rises.

Bai Gui pondered for a moment, then said: "My lord, actually this old slave thinks..."

Suddenly, Yun Chenya sighed, he turned around and looked at Bai Gui: "Mr. Bai, am I... am I wrong?"

Bai Gui suddenly raised his head and looked at Yun Chenya in disbelief.

Once upon a time, the First Prince Yingchao who turned his hands into clouds and turned his hands into rain would actually ask such words.

"I don't know when I started, but I just felt that every step I took was out of my control. I felt... as if I was being pulled by something in the dark, and I couldn't get out. So much so that today I actually, I actually said that I let the world go. To be reduced to scorched earth..."

Bai Gui was stunned.After a while, he slowly nodded his head: "This old slave understands that, in the heart of the eldest son, the thousands of miles of land and mountains of my Daying dynasty are more important than anything else."

Yun Chenya covered her eyes with her hands, and took a deep breath: "Yes, after all... that is my hometown, the mountains and rivers that I have been guarding for many years, but how could I, how could I..."

Bai Gui looked at Yun Chenya silently.

In his life, he was an official for 50 years, served as prime minister for 30 years, and assisted three generations of Emperor Daying.But those three emperors were not as good as Yingjingxuan in terms of aptitude and temperament.

In this world, no one is more suitable to be emperor than Ying Jingxuan.Bai Gui once thought so.

But now, he suddenly felt that he was wrong.

To be a king, one needs to be clear at times, confused at times, driven by fame and fortune occasionally, and can't bear the emptiness of the world.

But Ying Jingxuan is really too smart.

So from the very beginning, he was able to take on heavy responsibilities, and he was ruthless, but he didn't care about a throne.So he would feel that instead of being a widowed emperor and being trapped in the deep palace of the government for the rest of his life, it would be better to be a commoner and move his mind as he pleases.

"The eldest prince does not need to blame himself." Bai Gui said, "Today's situation is really caused by love and trapped by love. Although the eldest prince is a monarch, he is also an upright person. People are not grass and trees, so how can you be ruthless?" .”

Yun Chenya closed her eyes, and smiled wryly: "But it's not true. I used to know how to choose and accept. But this time, I don't want to give up Xiaotang. Because of my own selfish desires, Daying Mountains and Rivers, I am facing the common people. , all in danger. It's just—"

When Yun Chenya said this, she stopped suddenly.His eyes calmed down, he took two steps forward, knelt down in the direction of Daying Chao, and kowtowed three times.

"I, Ying Jingxuan, am ashamed of Daying and the people. It is a felony. Three kowtows will not atone for my crime. However, I am not only a prince, but also a man. The Qi family governs the country Ping Tianxia, ​​the Qi family is the leader. As a man, how can I tolerate others taking my wife? How can I not even give her my promise to Xiaotang, the most ordinary security in the world?"

After Yun Chenya finished speaking, she stood up.He flicked his robe, and called out in a deep voice, "Lord Bai."

"The old minister is here."

"From now on, I will fast and bathe, and face the wall for seven days. After seven days, soldiers will come to block me, and water will come to cover me with earth!"

At dusk that day, after Shu Tang came back, Yun Chenya had already entered the house and faced the wall.Xiaotang from the Shu family stared worriedly outside the house for a long time, and just as he turned around, he bumped into Bai Gui.

When Bai Gui saw Shu Tang, he bent over and saluted, "Miss Xiaotang, this old slave is waiting for you."

Shu Tang was taken aback for a moment: "The old gentleman is waiting for me?"

"Yeah." Bai Gui nodded, "Miss Xiaotang must have guessed why the eldest son is facing the wall."

"Officer Yun..." Shu Tang frowned and lowered his eyes, "I can only... guess roughly."

"Then the old slave told Miss Xiaotang, if there is a way to help the eldest son?"

"what?"

Bai Gui took two steps forward and sighed: "This method is a little risky. It wasn't the old slave who came up with it. It was entrusted to the old slave by the second young master before he left."
