Yupo Yunhun and the Man-made King

Chapter 8 King Zhou Daji

Chang Lie looked at Zhao Chi's little back as he walked out, and said, "Sir, although I haven't been in Beijing for a long time, I also know that it is a place with ever-changing winds and clouds. Is it a blessing for the prince to go to Beijing this time?" Is it a disaster, or an unknown number. I heard that when the late emperor first ascended the throne, Mr. Hu put all his heart and soul into assisting him. How come Mr. Wang is so cruel and disregarded when he came to the prince's place?"

Yan Luan said: "The first emperor was only seven years old when he came to the throne, and the court had just experienced the chaos of the eunuchs. Now the prince has passed his thirties, and he has been the regent for another ten years. What's the difference?"

Chang Lie said: "But today there are no ministers who are against the prince in the court today, and there are no clans who covet the throne in all the vassal states?"

Yan Luan said: "Lie'er is young, but he has a lot of knowledge. I'm tired, let me sleep for a while."

Yan Shuang straightened Yan Luan's pillow again, covered the quilt, and Yan Luan fell into a deep sleep.

It was dusk when he woke up again, Yan Luan looked at the bloody sun outside the window, thought about the people and things in the court, felt that there were too many variables in it, and he was still worried after all.

Yan Shuang saw that Yan Luan had woken up, and said: "The prince came here just now, seeing that the master is asleep, so I didn't bother you."

Yan Luan nodded, and said to Chang Lie: "Lie'er, invite the prince here for me."

Zhao Ying arrived soon, and said as soon as she entered the door: "After sleeping, I really look better. I asked the kitchen to cook fish porridge, and you can eat some later. I will let Lao Li come and show you."

Yan Luan nodded and said: "Just a little hungry." Then he said to Chang Lie and Yan Shuang: "Lie Er, take Xiao Shuang to eat something, I will have a word with the prince."

There were only two people left in the room, Yan Luan said: "I said some stupid things during my illness, don't worry about it."

Zhao Ying said: "What you said is stupid, of course I don't care."

Yan Luan said, "Have you decided on a day to leave?"

Zhao Ying said: "Tomorrow morning."

Yan Luan nodded and said, "It's time to leave earlier."

Zhao Ying wanted to persuade Yan Luan to go with her again, but the words changed when she left her mouth: "You can stay if you want, let Yan Shuang take care of you. When you recover from illness, go to Beijing to find me."

Yan Luan looked into Zhao Ying's eyes and said, "Why do you want to stay in Wuchang Mansion when you go to Beijing to live in the world?"

Joy flashed in Zhao Ying's eyes, and she said, "You mean..."

Yan Luan reached out to hold Zhao Ying's hand, and said: "I said, I will stay for a few days when you are here. Now you are leaving Wuchang, what am I still doing here? Shihuan, I will go to Beijing with you .”

Zhao Ying pulled Yan Luan's hand to her lips, kissed it lightly, and said, "After you go to Beijing, if you don't want to be an official, don't do it. You can do whatever you want."

Yan Luan said: "I want to build a deer terrace and a wine pool and meat forest."

Zhao Ying chuckled lightly and said, "You want to be Daji, but I don't mind being King Zhou. If you want to eat your heart, it's all right to see people being tortured."

Yan Luan also twitched the corners of her mouth, but she didn't laugh when she wanted to.Reaching out to caress Zhao Ying's face, she said: "Why are you so happy, I won't go, don't you want to tie me up too?"

Zhao Ying said: "I was in a hurry for a while, and you said a few angry words, and you took it seriously? Do you think I sent guards over?"

Yan Luan said: "You must have a lot of things to arrange, go quickly."

Zhao Ying said: "Okay, you can just rest and don't worry about anything. I have already sent someone to fetch you, Ah Fu, and I have also sent someone to bring over the things you often use at home."

As soon as Zhao Ying left, Yan Shuang came in with fish porridge and fed Yan Luan a spoonful.Li Wangchuan came in and took Yan Luan's pulse, and said: "Master Yan, your pulse condition is much more peaceful. In fact, your illness comes from a rush of fire. As long as you think about it yourself, and add soup and medicine, your illness will be cured soon. gone."

Yan Luan said: "Thank you, old man. My life was saved several times by the old man. I dare not give up on myself."

At night, Yan Shuang fed Yan Luan the medicine cooked in the kitchen.Yan Luan said: "Xiao Shuang, you came from a long way and took care of me without taking a break. Get a good sleep tonight and come back tomorrow morning."

Yan Shuang shook her head: "I'm not tired."

Just as Yan Luan was about to speak again, he went to listen to Chang Lie and said, "Eunuch Yan, just listen to your husband, don't make him anxious. Don't worry, I will take good care of you tonight." Yan Shuang finally nodded in agreement.

Chang Lie took Yan Shuang out, arranged a room for him, and went back to the guest room.

Yan Luan said: "I slept in the afternoon, so I won't be able to sleep much at night, Lie Er, you should go back to your room and rest. If I have something to do, I will call the girl who goes to the night outside."

Chang Lie said: "Mr. is not sleepy, and I am not sleepy either. Let me talk with Mr.."

Yan Luan said: "Alright, what does Lie Er want to talk about?"

Chang Lie said, "Have you met my father, sir?"

Yan Luan nodded and said: "I had a relationship with General Chang once. In the third year of Xintai, General Chang returned to Beijing to report on his duties. The prince entertained guests in the palace to comfort General Chang, and invited me to accompany him. At that time, General Chang spoke at the banquet. He recorded a lot of heroic achievements against the Tartars, and all the guests present were impressed by the demeanor of General Chang."

Chang Lie said: "Although my mother and I are also in the frontier fortress, my father stays in the military camp most of the time, and he doesn't go home much. But every time my father comes back, he will definitely bring some gifts to my mother, and he will also take time to teach me horseback riding and archery. .”

Yan Luan said: "Lie'er, your father naturally loves you very much. He is a great hero, you should be proud of him."

Chang Lie said: "I told you, sir, don't be angry. My father returned to the frontier after reporting his duties in Beijing. He told my mother that he was the kind of scheming, insidious and cunning person, but the prince was bewitched by him. Not only did he not get rid of him as soon as possible, but he even allowed him to do many things that would harm the prince."

Yan Luan said: "General Chang is very accurate at seeing people."

Chang Lie shook his head and said: "In the past few months, Mr. has come to the palace to give lectures to the prince every day. I often see him. Although I don't talk to him much, I can see that Mr. is an upright gentleman. Besides, Mr. was already in power at that time. An extremely human minister, to be able to throw away his power and glory, and return to Wuchang Mansion with the prince, shows that he has a deep affection for the prince."

Yan Luan said: "Lie'er, I'm an official returning to my hometown. I'm at the end of my way. I'm here to join the prince."

Chang Lie said: "Sir, don't coax me, I know that Mr. has never cared about his official position."

Yan Luan said: "Lie'er, I have been an official for ten years, and I have experienced the chaos of the eunuch party, the new emperor ascended the throne, and King An was regent. I am really tired. There are some things that you will understand when you reach my age."

Chang Lie said: "Sir, why is it the same as before returning to Beijing this time? From now on, the prince will be the Ninth Five-Year Lord, and he will protect the gentleman. The husband will not work as hard as before."

Yan Luan said: "Lie'er, are you married?"

Chang Lie said: "When my father was alive, he once ordered me the third lady of Mr. Tang's family. After my father passed away, the Tang family treated me very coldly. When I returned to Wuchang with the prince, the Tang family simply withdrew their marriage. .”

Yan Luan sighed, and said: "You will understand when you have a woman you like in the future. To me, it doesn't make any difference whether the prince is the emperor or a beggar."

Seeing that Yan Luan's words became more and more sad, Chang Lie was afraid of making him sad again, so he said: "It's already three o'clock, sir, please sleep for a while."

☆, peace and happiness
