Prison Dragon

Chapter 158

The first snow of the year came very early, and it began to fluctuate in late October.

"Your Majesty, be careful not to catch a cold." Yang Yuchun took off the fox fur and wrapped it around Yang You.

Yang You straightened it up, and said with a smile, "It's so heavy, you want to heat me to death?"

He just came out of the golden hall of the Thanksgiving Temple, with a compassionate and gentle smile, very Buddha-like.

Yang Yuchun always felt that there was a faint sandalwood on the tip of his nose, so he scratched his nose, "I dare not."

Yang You clasped his palms together to thank the abbot, and took the bodhi seed that the abbot personally handed over.

All the monks sang the Buddha's name together, put their palms together and lowered their heads, and said, "Respectfully send your majesty off."

"Let's go." Yang You signaled Yang Yuchun to follow with his eyes, "Walk with me for a while."

The palace servants followed them from a distance, Yang Yuchun always abided by the etiquette, although he was tall and had long legs, he had to hold back his pace and walked slowly with Yang You.

Yang You turned around and waved: "Come with me." Yang Yuchun nodded and stepped forward, "Why do you want to take me to burn incense when I come back?"

"Please rest assured." Yang You said, "It's the first time you're working so far away from me. I always feel uneasy. I'm worried that you won't be able to handle it, and I'm afraid that if you make a mistake, you will end up losing the battle."

Yang Yuchun's heart warmed when he heard the words, and he said proudly: "They are all stragglers, what's the point? Only the Turks are worthy of fighting me."

Yang You laughed and shook off the snow particles on his eyelashes, "Thank you for your hard work."

Yang Yuchun subconsciously followed Yang You and smiled, "I'm just doing my duty faithfully."

The two walked and chatted all the way. There was more than an inch of thin snow on the ground. As the sun rose, water began to seep from the bottom. Although the sheepskin boots were waterproof, they were still slippery.Yang You had to be distracted and stare at the ground so as not to slip and fall.

"Liao Xiang stayed in the northwest alone, are you sure?"

"I'll explain what I have to say. If he still makes mistakes, he's a pig's brain." Privately in front of Yang You, Yang Yuchun would not hide his contempt for his colleagues, "No, pig's brains are not as good."

Yang You choked out of laughter, Yang Yuchun hurriedly supported him to help him breathe.

Yang You coughed twice, took a breath of cold air, and made his neck itch again.

Yang Yuchun said again: "Besides, didn't you send a little prince to be his staff officer? I think that kid has a good level, a stable personality, and a talent. In a few years, when he learns all of Liao Xiang's skills Go, then there will be no place for Liao Xiang."

Little prince, are you talking about Yang Yan?

"Do you think Yang Yan can be a general against one side?" Yang You asked.

Yang Yuchun only said four words, "Give it time."

Yang You thought that he was just doing ordinary paperwork, but in Yang Yuchun's view, Yang Yan actually had a lot of hidden strength.

"How is it better than you?" Yang You raised his hand to wipe the snow off his forehead.

"I can't compare to him in reading, what about fighting..." Yang Yuchun twitched his eyebrows and looked at Yang You conceitedly.

Yang You nodded.

It seems that Yang Yan has done a lot of things at the border, but why is Yang Yan's name not mentioned in the letter every time the contributions of officials at all levels are mentioned?

Yang You also sent many letters of concern to him in private, but Yang Xin did not write his own credit and hard work in the letter, he just kept talking about how good Yang Yuchun and Liao Xiang were, and how correct their decisions were.

Does this kid not want fame?Military merit is the right way, why didn't he say it?

Yang You suddenly thought that he might be afraid of his suspicion.

After all, King Xue almost lost his life because of his brother's jealousy. As the eldest son of King Xue, he also learned to avoid suspicion through his father's long words and deeds.

His younger brother Yang Xuan is much simpler, he doesn't have so many thoughts, and he gets closer to Yang You.

In fact, he really wouldn't be suspicious because of his military achievements, but even if Yang You said it, it wouldn't dispel Yang Yan's worries, and it might even make him fall into a state of fear, thinking that what he said was ironic.

What a sad lineage.

There are many pine trees on the side of the road covered with a layer of snow, ice crystals formed on the blue-black pine needles.

Yang You got excited, ran to stand under the pine tree, and waved to Yang Yuchun, "Come here."

Yang Yuchun stood up quickly according to the order, a few pine branches were just at the height of his eyebrows, he had to look down at Yang You: "Your Majesty?"

"Hush!" Yang You blinked, lifted the robe with his right hand, kicked the tree trunk very quickly, then turned and ran out.

Yang Yuchun had sharp eyes and quick hands, and when Yang You took the first step, he grabbed Yang You by the back collar and carried him over.

The snow particles suddenly scattered with a bang, and flew towards them with a cold and fresh smell, rustling straight down.

"Ah!" In the white snow powder, Yang You closed his eyes, and from time to time, a few grains of cold penetrated into his hair and the back of his neck, making him very alert.

Yang Yuchun pulled him in front of her, trying to block most of the snowflakes with her back.

After a while, the branches and leaves stopped trembling, and Yang Yuchun shook the snow off his body.

Yang You raised his head, reached out and grabbed a handful of snow among the pine branches and sprinkled it on Yang Yuchun's face. He quickly left the pine tree and stood in the middle of the road laughing.

Yang Yuchun shook his head helplessly and followed his footsteps, looked at his smiling face seriously and said, "Your Majesty, I haven't seen you smiling happily for a long time."

"Really?" Yang You's smile faltered a bit.

Yang Yuchun said: "In Yizhou before, I thought that as long as you become the emperor, the world will be yours, and you don't have to worry about anything. Liu Wu and Wang Wu can't bother you at all. But I only found out after you became the emperor. , you have to care about several times more than when you were in Yizhou, no, dozens of times, there is no time to stop."

"Yeah," Yang You recalled the past, "I used to dream of being an idle prince and traveling around the world. Now it's no longer possible."

He suddenly felt a little melancholy. Looking around, the green hills around him were covered with white hats, and they were chilling and silent under the gloomy blue sky. The colorful capital city was all replaced with a piece of white, and even the dazzling glazed tiles of the imperial palace were completely wiped out by the snow. bury.

The fire in the Xuanzheng Hall was also lit early, and Yang You was always drowsy by the warm wind every time he went to court, and he often lost his mind for a while when he was thinking about it.

Zhuo Qing and Cui He seem to be kind on the surface, Cui He is a gentle and refined person, and never confronts the straight-tempered Zhuo Qing.Previously, the imperial court had been focusing on suppressing the rebellion. Even if Cui He and Zhuo Qing had conflicts, they did not show it up. Yang You thought, maybe after a while of stability, they would start fighting.

Zhuo Qing belonged to Shangluo's party, Cui He belonged to Liu Po's party, neither of them was fighting alone.

Yang You also had a headache, but he had to use it, so he could only use his best time to support his confidant.

After going to court every day, he would sit alone in the Xuanzheng Hall for a long time.

Until the dusk sinks and the setting sun dissipates.

It is said that at the turn of morning and evening, yin and yang are mixed, and there is often a phenomenon of psychic inspiration, but Yang You has never had a dream for nothing, nor has he fallen into any illusion.

The frequency between him and Ao Chen... is obviously the same as before... It's just that he has been less busy with political affairs recently.

Or is it because Ao Chen's spiritual power itself is gradually decreasing?

Lu Shanjian stayed that day, he performed well, and was transferred by Yang You to Shangshu Province as a petty official.

Lu Shanjian insisted on staying, and stood and waited with Yang You until dark, but nothing happened, so Lu Shanjian could only say, "Your Majesty, are you still thinking about unlocking the Dragon God's formation?"

Yang You was startled.

Lu Shanjian knelt down, "I have given all my reasons, if your majesty still insists on unlocking the formation for the Dragon God, please think about it. Your majesty cannot decide the world alone. How many ministers are tied to your majesty?" Your wealth and future? Even if Your Majesty doesn’t think about Wanmin who are far away, don’t you think about the veterans who have been with you for many years? Please think twice, Your Majesty.”

Yang You was speechless.

The biggest bet in the life of a courtier is to stand in line, and Shangluo and the others undoubtedly tied their wealth and life's glory to Yang You early on.

He cannot live up to the trust and sustenance of these people who have followed him all the way.

Yang You frowned, and said wearily, "I know, you can step back."

He walked back to the dormitory with the stove in his arms, and as usual, he would review the papers after eating, wash the papers after the papers were approved, and lay down on the bed.

He sleeps in a daze until midnight and wakes up from the cold. When he wakes up, he sees that Ao Chen is wrapping his arms and legs around him.

Although Ao Chen also came out to meet him every day, but the time of showing up was much less than before.Yang You pressed him several times, and Ao Chen had to say that this was the inevitable result of the reduction of dragon energy, and it had little effect on him. Anyway, the only time Yang You could spend with him was at night.

Hearing these words made Yang You sad and heartbroken.

Yang You got up and pulled a thick quilt from the end of the bed to cover the two of them. He hugged Ao Chen tightly under the quilt, and sighed.

Ao Chen woke up, curled his fingers around Yang You's long hair and asked, "What do you think?"

"Someone urged me to establish an heir today." Yang You said with some resentment.

They saw that there was no way to go directly to the book to choose a concubine, and they began to attack their son.

Ao Chen pondered for a moment, he already knew that this was an inevitable thing to face, unless the physical condition is not good, otherwise the emperor must leave behind descendants.

These are things that the royal family has entrusted to him for hundreds of years, even if he lost his memory, they are still engraved in his mind.

"You can't neglect me even if you have a concubine." Ao Chen said.

Yang You sneered, and pushed his chest, "What nonsense, I don't know how to accept concubines. I want to make Yang Xuan the emperor's younger brother."

Ao Chen frowned when he heard the first half of the sentence, because the words Huangtaidi were locked again.

"Do you think it will work?" The more Yang You thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good idea, "If the emperor's younger brother is established, the minister will have no reason to force me."

"Have you thought about what to do with Yang Yan?" Ao Chen asked.

"he……"

"Yang Yan and Yang Xuan's compatriots are both the eldest son, and Yang Yan is the eldest son, and he has made military achievements outside. It is impossible to say that he has the support of many generals. Yang Xuan is the second son, and it is only because your order is in the three provinces. Plated with a layer of gold, you make Yang Xuan the emperor's younger brother, what does Yang Yan think?"

Yang You suddenly became enlightened, but he still felt unwilling.

Ao Chen said: "You just want to make up for Yang Xuan because you owe something to Yang Xuan in your heart. But this is wrong."
