My Majesty Your Grace Novel

Chapter 7

One month later, the emperor was overjoyed by the victory of Yang Liangjun's defeat of the Xiongnu. In view of the fact that Yang Liang's subordinates are still being pursued, the court has not yet awarded the reward, but the name of General Yang Liang's bravery has spread throughout the capital day and night, and everyone in the streets reciting it.
　　On this day, the battle report came again, saying that they were pursuing the enemy to the Jinwei Mountain area and retreating due to the complex terrain of the mountain. The battle was basically over and it was a great victory.
　　The emperor looked happy and couldn't help but say, "What would Aiqing do?"
　　It was the time when he was alone with Chen Zeming. Chen Zeming heard that his friend reported victory, although he was also happy for him, but since the first time he heard it, a sense of loneliness lingered in his heart and lingered. After that, Yang Liang's battles became more and more, and this emotion became more obvious. He couldn't even ignore it.
　　Seeing that the emperor asked himself, Chen Zeming thought about it carefully: "If a minister leads the army, maybe he will find someone who is familiar with the terrain, and then
　　pursue the victory." The emperor's eyes changed a little when he saw him, and Chen Zeming couldn't tell what he said. The emperor was happy to hear it. Still unhappy, worried, bowed his head and said nothing.
　　After a while, the emperor smiled and said, "So Qing thinks he is better than General Yang?"
　　Chen Zeming heard this unkind and responded cautiously: "The ministers dare not use their own methods of war, like a brave and suitable vanguard. The army is calm and suitable for siege warfare. When General Yang wants to withdraw his troops at this moment, after careful consideration, he has worked out the most suitable way for him." The
　　emperor nodded and looked at him with a smile: "I didn't expect General Chen to do the same. He is a general, and he speaks bluntly..." He was in a surprisingly good mood today, and even Chen Zeming saw it.
　　Chen Zeming heard what he said, his heart pounded, and he knelt down and said: "It's a soldier's bounden duty to die after death." The emperor was stunned and said in a low voice, "If you are fat, you still have to die."
　　Breathing ..." Chen Zeming was taken aback when he heard these words. These words were spoken by ordinary people. They were very vulgar. Naturally, they were not used by the royal family. I don't know where the emperor learned them. Seeing that the emperor seemed indifferent to what he said, he did not give up and said: "Long live, minister..."
　　The emperor waved his hand: "Well, I am in a good mood today, don't make any mess." He turned and wanted to leave.
　　Chen Zeming couldn't help being disappointed when he saw this, the emperor suddenly turned around: "You are indeed a talent, but there are so many talents in the world, and you are not worse than you." He moved away.
　　Chen Zeming knelt at the same place, and the more he thought about it, the more he became flustered.
　　The emperor made it clear that there are people under his hand, and he doesn't lack or care about his true talents, which may exist but still need to be verified. Is he planning to just idle himself forever? Doesn't it help me to behave anymore?
　　It turns out that the emperor really promoted himself just to have an additional minister? Chen Zeming held his breath, staring at the front in a daze, at a loss like never before.

　　On the way back, I ran into Yinyin unexpectedly. Both of them are a little embarrassed, but they are called brothers and sisters to the outside world, and they can't turn a blind eye.
　　Chen Zeming stepped forward to salute.
　　Yin Yin seemed to have something to say, but he wanted to say it and stopped: "...There are some bad rumors in the palace...You have to be careful."
　　Chen Zeming was startled, and his heart jumped. Did she know that too? Yin Yin and him passed by, but his eyes were very concerned, so it didn't seem to be the case. Yin Yin couldn't rub the sand in his eyes. He really couldn't be so peaceful if he heard about his relationship with the emperor. What is the rumor she said? Chen Zeming was puzzled.

　　Chen Yi gradually became ill and called the doctor to see it, but it was caused by depression. Although no one said it clearly, Chen Zeming knew it was because of himself, because of the rumors that became increasingly popular.
　　One night, Chen Zeming waited in front of the sickbed. Chen Xi took his hand and said, "Son, you will get married. When you are married, there will be no one..." He didn't say anything later, just sighed and held Chen Zeming's hand.
　　With tears in his eyes,
　　Chen Zeming knelt to the ground: "A child is not filial..." Chen Wei looked at him: "
　　Marrying a wife and having children is great filial piety." Chen Zeming did not answer, and brought the medicine bowl to his father. Others: "...Father
　　, let's drink this medicine first." Chen Xi looked at him for a moment, then pushed him abruptly, turning over and stopped speaking.
　　The candlelight jumped, and the silence was like iron. The dignified weight between the two made people breathless. Chen Zeming lowered his head, closed his mouth tightly, and watched the ink-colored concoction in the jade bowl gently rippling under the candlelight. Every blow seemed to hit On his mind.
　　It wasn't until the snoring started that he suddenly felt shocked, and looked up to see that his father was tired and was asleep.
　　Gently covered the door and went out, the mother was still waiting, saw him, and greeted him: "How is the master? What did you tell you?"
　　Chen Zeming said, "It's nothing, Dad is already asleep... I didn't drink the medicine, and he was lying on the table. Go on." He turned his head, hiding his face in the shadow.

　　After another month, Yang Liang led his army back to the capital.
　　Therefore, the war was swift and fruitful. The main force of the Huns was hit hard, and the people were all excited. The emperor personally led hundreds of officials to greet him. This grand occasion became a big wonder that people talked about back then. After this service, Yang Liang was promoted to the commander of the palace, and Ningyuan was awarded the title of military ambassador.
　　The emperor specially arranged a grand celebration banquet for him in the palace and invited hundreds of officials to participate. Such a great glory is almost the limit of a military commander. At this moment, the whole world must have understood the emperor's favor and trust in Yang Liang.
　　From a distance, Chen Zeming hesitated for a moment, looking at Yang Liang who was surrounded by the crowd and was overwhelmed. Chen Zeming quietly walked around. The icing on the cake is indeed what everyone loves to do. Fortunately, because of the large number of people, few people would notice him. Occasionally, when a colleague came to say hello, he smiled and greeted him.
　　From beginning to end, he felt that the banquet was chaotic, with noisy voices and headaches.
　　Soon after, the emperor appeared from a distance, and his expression seemed quite satisfied, probably because the scene was lively and atmospheric.
　　At this time, the dishes in front of Chen Zeming didn't move any chopsticks, but the wine in the pot was already dry.
　　Yang Liang's return was not without benefits, and the emperor's summons to Chen Zeming suddenly decreased. Chen Zeming thought that this might not be a good thing, so he hoped that Yang Liang could live in Beijing forever.
　　But he was unwilling to see Yang Liang. Although his father warned him, for one of the newly appointed three marshals, a courtesy visit is essential. He was too lazy to do it, preferring to stay in the house and read the military book. The gift list and gifts were prepared for him at home long ago, and he tried to do all kinds of reasons and dragged it day by day.
　　Chen Yi was trembling with his sudden laziness and anger: "Why did you disappoint me more and more after you became an official!"
　　Chen Zeming did not retort, letting his father scold him. She couldn't stand the scolding, so she sneaked into the street to drink, drinking it for half a day, and was not picked up by the store until the night.
　　When Chen Xiao asked, his face turned blue. It turned out that they came to ask for money. Chen Xi ordered the people to pay for the wine, went back to the house, found the family law, and hit the drunk Chen Zeming with all his head and face.
　　Madam Chen cried and stopped.
　　Chen Zeming suddenly woke up in pain, and saw Madam Chen cry to herself: "Son! Go back to the room first!"
　　Chen Zeming wiped the blood from his face with the back of his hand, and muttered, "Father wants to fight, let him have a good time."
　　Chen Wei After hearing this, he was almost dizzy, and his subordinates became even more intolerant.
　　When he was on duty the next day, everyone was surprised that his body was scarred. In the end, the emperor was aware of it, looked at him a few times, and couldn't help but ask him what was going on.
　　Chen Zeming did not shy away, saying: "Father did it." The emperor could not help but chuckle when he learned that it was for such a trivial matter as drinking, "Your father is old, and some things are not clear enough. What can I do after a few cups... But it's actually a good thing that children can be strictly disciplined by their parents..." At
　　this point, the emperor thought for a while and leaned over to Chen Zeming and said, "You have to be a conscientious father like this. Born filial piety." After that, he ordered people to reward Chen Wei with a hundred pieces of silk and satin, saying that he was rewarding the eldest man for his well-educated family education.
　　Chen Zeming was frightened but felt inexplicable.
　　If Chen Zeming did not go to Yang Liang, it did not mean that the two would not be able to meet.
　　When he returned to the mansion that day, Chen Zeming was surprised to find that the imperial minister who was sitting in the hall with the tea and was chatting with his father was one of the current three marshals, Yang Liang.
　　Seeing him go home, the wounds on his face were crisscrossed, Chen Xipo regretted that his hands were heavy last night, and couldn't help feeling distressed and angry. After a long time, he finally grunted a few times.
　　Yang Liang got up and said, "Uncle Chen, this means long life. After that, please don't beat and scold Brother Chen for such trivial things as drinking. After all, he is also a court official, who eats the monarch's salary. He has a wounded face. It is not good to go out. Ah."
　　Chen Lilian claimed to be.
　　Yang Liang smiled and said, "By the way, there are still some things. Please ask Brother Chen to go out with me." When
　　the two of them left the house, Yang Liang pulled him straight into the street.
　　Chen Zeming said, "Where is this going?"
　　Yang Liang smiled and said, "Go and drink naturally." During the
　　conversation, he arrived at the hotel where the two often go. Seeing that it was a regular customer, Xiao Er didn't meet him either. The two were familiar with each other until they sat down at the table in front of the window on the second floor before someone came to order.
　　Yang Liang hadn't come for a long time, chatting and laughing with Xiaoer, before finishing his order for a long time.
　　Chen Zeming was by his side, already unable to restrain himself: "Brother Yang, long live I want you to send a reward, the purpose is to pass a message to my father?"
　　Yang Liang turned his head and smiled to look at him, and said: "What are you talking about?"
　　Chen Zeming saw his expression. , Doubted: "Didn't you say..." Halfway through, he couldn't help but suddenly: "You! You actually preached the imperial decree?"
　　Yang Liang quickly put his finger in front of his mouth: "Hush! Tap it, you want me to fall
　　Where's the head?" Chen Zeming couldn't laugh or cry: " Brother
　　Yang, what do you mean by doing this?" Yang Liang smiled: "Uncle Chen is too clumsy. Young people have to fight after drinking a few glasses of wine. Just long live let me send a reward to your house. , I will add a few words by the way."
　　Chen Zeming smiled bitterly: "What you said is very similar to what Long live said before."
　　Yang Liang said: "He was a true temperament when he was young, but now he can..." I noticed that I was missing, and he hesitated. After a moment, he smiled and said, "This is disrespectful, but fortunately no one else has heard... a fluke, a fluke! Hurry up and punish yourself for three cups!" Picked it up.
　　The wine was not full yet, and a hand was already on his wrist, and Yang Liang turned his head.
　　Chen Zeming hesitated for a moment: "That day, what do you want to say?"
　　Yang Liang put down the flask and smiled at him: "Do you want to hear it?"
　　Chen Zeming said, "I'm also curious sometimes."
　　Yang Liang sighed and said with a smile: "I finally waited until you were curious." He pondered for a moment. "It's nothing, it's actually a story..."
　　At this moment, the rain outside the window began to patter, and it rustled on the curtain.
　　Yang Liang glanced at it and smiled and said, "This weather...is very suitable for telling stories to pass the time." As he said, he poured wine for both of them. After thinking for a moment, he seemed to be thinking about how to speak.

　　"Twenty years ago, there was a big rich man who was rich than an enemy country..."
　　Chen Zeming was surprised: "Huh?" Xin said, you really told the story.
　　Yang Liang smiled mischievously at him, kept talking, and continued: "The rich man has many wives and concubines. The eldest wife has never had children. His first child is a son, born by an inconspicuous concubine, and the woman has a hard life. When giving birth to a child, he died of dystocia." Chen Zeming said "Oh", full of inexplicability.
　　"... The rich man put his newborn son in the eldest wife's room to raise him. The elder wife cannot give birth. Although this child is not her own, but he is still growing up, so he treats him very kindly. The master is because he is the eldest son. Naturally, he took a lot of attention. When the child was five or six years old, the master invited him to be the best teacher in the world. The teacher was originally a hermit, famous in Jiangnan, and never wanted to be born, but strangely, I met him. After the kid had one side, he actually promised to come out...In this way, the boy grew up to fifteen years old smoothly..."
　　Yang Liang was silent for a moment when he said this, and Chen Zeming was listening in a funny way and couldn't help urging.
　　"The old man is a good woman, and he has a new love at this moment. The new favorite wife has a son... In fact, the rich man already has a lot of children at this moment, and he gradually doesn't value the eldest son. The new wife wants to make herself. His son inherited the family property, so he thought about the way to abolish the eldest son. The rich man didn't agree before, but slowly, he was convinced by her pillow wind. But to move the eldest son, he still had to take care of the eldest wife's face. , I can't do it for a while. But when the eldest son grows up to this point, he actually has a weird problem
　　that is unpleasant to the world— " Chen Zeming felt that something was wrong as he heard it. It seems that this story has been told by someone before, but the statement is a bit different. , Seeing Yang Liang shut up at the key place, he quickly said: "What is it?"
　　Yang Liang drank his wine and said calmly: "That kid has a habit of breaking sleeves. He is a
　　dragon sun ." Chen Zeming suddenly stood up. When he got up, his face changed color: "You! What you are talking about..."
　　Yang Liang looked up at him and smiled: "Is this story going to be said?"
　　Chen Zeming was taken aback for a while and slowly sat down, silent. Yang Liang took a sip of wine without urging him.
　　Chen Zeming whispered: "You are so bold, you are actually talking about royal affairs under the public."
　　Yang Liang said: "I am clearly talking about the ugliness of the rich man, where I have mentioned half of the royal character. Besides, I dare to say, but you dare not dare. Listen?"
　　Chen Zeming laughed nonchalantly, turned his head, and said, "...I'm just not interested." After that, he couldn't help saying: "You brought the topic here over and over again, just to say... the eldest son's past. ? "
　　Yang Liang smiled and said:" these things, people know early death is dead, the old old, if someday I die on the battlefield, then buried in the earth gone why not say it today, to be a tapas. ".
　　Chen Zeming heard something in his words, but couldn't see any maliciousness in him. He was really strange in his heart. He hesitated for a moment: "...I really don't understand...This drink and food is too dangerous."
　　Yang Liang smiled: "Are you scared? Then I am. Don't talk about it."
　　Chen Zeming knew that he was using the radical method, but couldn't help but put it on: "I just think you are really weird. What are the benefits of doing this?"
　　Yang Liang said, "When you understand everything, the position of the
　　commander of the palace should let you sit." Chen Zeming became even more confused, grunted, and said nothing. After a while, Fang said, "Then he... how can the eldest son be known about such secret things?" Yang Liang said, "Because he likes someone and wants to live with him, so I'd rather leave it behind. Don't want Wan Guan's family wealth..." He smiled, "Once people have this kind of determination, they will naturally turn upside down, everyone knows."
　　Hearing this, Chen Zeming couldn't help but look at Yang Liang. Finally, I was embarrassed to ask in person. If Yang Liang didn't see him: "The old wife was protecting him with all his strength. Before, the master had made various excuses to want to
　　abandon the eldest son. She saved him several times." Chen Zeming said: "The foster mother treated him well. "As I said this, I thought that I had heard in the palace that the Queen Mother was at odds with the emperor, and I couldn't help but be puzzled.
　　Yang Liang nodded: "In the end, it has been raised for many years, not to mention that at this moment, it can be said that mothers are expensive with children, and both have value... In short, the relationship between mother and child is still good. But later, the eldest wife was too jealous but turned to rivals.
　　Used the most taboo trick-the witch cup technique." Chen Zeming couldn't help but let out an "ah".
　　"The master took this handle and did not say anything. Instead, he took the opportunity to ask her to give up the protection of her eldest son and promised her cousin's child to take over this position. By the way, I forgot to mention that the eldest wife's cousin is also among the younger wives. One of... At any rate, this child and the eldest wife have some relatives, and the eldest wife has to weigh the left and right, and can only agree."
　　Chen Zeming couldn't help but say, " Yes, but the eldest son is also his own flesh and blood. How can a father design his own son in this way"
　　Yang Liang sighed: "Sometimes it just happens to be a bit weird, maybe it's because people's hearts are too complicated."
　　"The eldest son suddenly realized that from a certain day, no one at home was willing to speak up for himself. Not only that, but people are gradually alienating him. He was spoiled and raised, and he was a child of a big house. He was always coaxed by everyone. Everyone carried it, and the difference at the moment was so big that he was unacceptable, and he was lost in despair. In the next few years, the new wife and the eldest wife formed two factions for their own forces, one supporting his own son and the other supporting himself. His cousin. The two factions have similar energies, and the master has no choice but to drag down the waste of the eldest son. But everyone knows that he is about to lose power. In those few years, how the eldest son survived is self-evident. I remember that he once rewarded a eunuch, it is said that when he was down, the eunuch gave him a piece of cake that he saved."
　　Chen Zeming couldn't speak for a long time: "It's hard to imagine...that old wife is just like that. Unfeeling, after more than ten years of raising, she will really become a stranger right away? She is not ashamed at all?"
　　Yang Liang smiled at him, "Brother Chen knows the world and does not understand people's hearts... If a person has trivial matters Sorry for others, most of you will feel guilty, but if it is a major event, maybe it happens to be the other way around... For example, cutting the roots, because at this moment he can no longer face him... But the eldest wife turned his back on him, but later changed it. I hope to get rid of him to prevent him from gaining power and revenge."
　　Chen Zeming shuddered.
　　"The eldest son faced his former benevolent mother, and now the enemy almost collapsed... Fortunately, he still has a good teacher. Under the guidance of the teacher, he reduced his sharp edge, resigned himself to it, and no longer debauched. He was so depressed, It made the people who wanted to impeach him a bit speechless. In addition, the teacher's reputation was so widespread that the master could not ignore his face for a while, and the two wives were always making trouble to seize power, and things were so delayed. He came down."
　　"What happened?"
　　"Later, the master fell ill and Mr. Tujiaoshu managed the housework for him. The power of the teacher grew, and naturally, no one could move the eldest son. The eldest son began to cultivate his own power. Later... The master is dead, and the one who inherits the position is still the eldest son. At this moment, his power to join hands with the teacher is far more than the other two... This is called a hit sometimes, and a hit is never forced."
　　Chen Zeming sighed speechlessly, Yang Liang sighed: "When he was in power, the first thing he did was to cut off the limbs of the new wife, mother, son, and eldest wife's nephew, causing them to die. The happy life he had since childhood was due to them. And the end, the hatred can be imagined, but this method is so cruel and vicious, without hiding it, but it surprised everyone."
　　"The eldest wife was terrified, and wanted to escape all night but was intercepted by him halfway. What's even more surprising is that he didn't kill her, but put her under house arrest. The eldest wife is not even forty years old at the moment, and she can't go out half a step from now on. Compared to death, she Is may not be a blessing..." At this point, the two looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh slightly.
　　Chen Zeming was silent for a long time: "So it turned out to be like this, no wonder he has such a weird temper..." After
　　a long moment, he suddenly said, "Since the story is over, then Brother Yang 's intention to tell the story, shouldn't I also talk about it?"
