Hexi

I am an orphan of the royal family. My father was once a crown prince, and my mother was also born in an official family. I originally had the highest honor. If my father hadn't died early, I would have been a prince no matter what.

Even though I later became an ordinary Ninth Young Master in Yangjiachong, I had no worries about food and clothing, and grew up happily until I was ten years old.

Before I was ten years old, Yang Jiachong had a radius of ten li, which was my whole world.The person in charge of all my affairs is the steward Yang Yi. He, the nanny Fu Niang, and the rest of the servants took good care of me.

I didn't know anything about my own life experience. Whenever I envied that the children in the village had parents, Yang Yi and Fu Ma just sighed and patted my head. They never told me the truth, but when they were ten years old , Zhang Yun is here.

I don't know how he found me, but I'm sure he's done a lot of work before coming here.

He knew that I had been able to read and write since I was a child, and practiced martial arts diligently. The gift he gave me was an ancient sword used by a former general.

He sat in front of me, separated by a burner of incense and a pot of tea, and said he was my father's old friend.Then tell me how miserable my father and mother died, and how unattainable the status of the person who killed them was.

After chatting for most of the night, he asked me if I wanted to show my identity in front of the world with dignity?Do you want to avenge your father and be worthy of the words "loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness" hanging on my wall?

In Yangjiachong, no one knows my past, and even very few people know my name. The word "Jiuye" represents Yang Xie.

Every time a stranger approached me, Yang Yi and Fu Niang were very nervous. They used to say that they were afraid that someone would take my money. After Zhang Yun came, I realized that they were afraid that someone would take my life.

Zhang Yun is very good at lobbying, after several questions, my mind has been shaken, I really deserve to be a high-ranking official, I think.

But I thought again, isn't the first word in "loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness" just "loyalty"?If I really did what he said, wouldn't I still be unworthy of these four words?
Zhang Yun said, this world originally belonged to my father, and I should be loyal to my father and the late emperor, who overthrew my uncle—oh, that is, the current emperor, so I can be called truly loyal.

And if I don't do this, then I would be unfilial.

I was persuaded by him again.

After all, when he was talking about this, Yang Yi and Fu Niang were standing beside him with tears in their eyes.They used to look like this every time they mentioned my parents, so I figured they wanted me to be convinced too.

When I reached an agreement with Zhang Yun at night, they were very surprised and scared. They said that this is a road of no return. Few people who have embarked on this road in history have ended well.They burst into tears, but it was only a moment of gratitude.

I read books since I was a child, and of course I understand these principles, but when I ask them, do they think their parents should die?I asked them if they wanted to go back to the capital to reunite with their families?I saw hesitation in their eyes.

Yang Yi is from my maternal grandfather's family, and Fu Niang is a maid in the East Palace.One of them is the son of the Yang family, and the other has been blessed by my father and mother.

They all have families.But in order to support me, they had to choose to hide their names and live in Yangjiachong.

For everyone in the world, they seem to have died for no reason, and of course they will feel unwilling in their hearts.

I convinced them the same way Zhang Yun convinced me.

Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, I think at least I will do the last two words.

They raised me instead of my parents, hired teachers for me, taught me how to be a human being, and taught me to understand the world with their simple concept of right and wrong. I think, my life is already like this. Why don't I just give it a go?

At least I know that to be a human being is to repay kindness.

Soon, Zhang Yun arranged for someone to live in my house, and he was responsive to my needs, he would give me whatever I needed, and if I wanted to study, he sent me the most knowledgeable staff around me .

Yang Jiachong began to look different.

In the past ten years, I have been carefree here. I don’t need to make progress, and no one requires me to be diligent. I just need to live my life in peace and health, which is to repay everyone.

I grew up in the countryside, and my happiest thing was traveling through the rice fields in four seasons, catching fish, touching shrimp, and digging out bird nests with the children of tenant families.Yang Yi's greatest request to me is to learn how to calculate accounts and take care of the family business. When they die in old age, at least I can help the family business to survive the rest of their lives.

But because I have too much free time, I took the initiative to study and practice martial arts. In the past ten years, my master has changed one after another. I anonymously handed the articles I wrote to the learned elders in the city, and they were highly praised. .I also took part in the provincial examination under the guise of a student from the village middle school, and I also passed the list in one fell swoop.

If I hadn't had such a sensitive life experience, I think my future would be as bright as possible.

After Zhang Yun's staff came, I spent much less time playing and read more vigorously. They all thought that I was eager for revenge and were very satisfied, but in fact it was just because this staff did have some ink in their belly, and I didn't want to waste it. .

When I was 13 years old, a group of robbers appeared in the next county town, and they robbed many passers-by of their belongings. Even my maid who served me was almost robbed to become Mrs. Yazhai when I went home to visit relatives. In a fit of anger, I carried my sword at night Go to level the mountain.

This was a good thing, but it turned out to be a bad thing for me. The county government in the neighboring county heard about it and published a list wantonly to find someone to put down the chaos. The turmoil continued for a long time.

After the staff knew about it, they informed Zhang Yun. Zhang Yun sent a letter to reprimand me, blaming me for causing trouble and exposing myself.

In turn, I asked Hong Fu to tie up the staff and send them back to the capital.

I have never been afraid of Zhang Yun.

In terms of strength, I am naturally not as good as him for the time being, but since he urged me to rebel, should I be respected?Since he recognizes me as the grandson of the emperor, is it true that I am the emperor and he is the minister, and there is a difference between the emperor and the minister?
Since I am a king, how can I be reprimanded by a courtier?
Of course, I did not do this impulsively. In the past few years, my staff have spent more time teaching me strategies. He always said that those things are not important when it comes to learning and governing the country.

Since it is a rebellion, since it is to be the emperor, how can knowledge and governance not be important?He either treats me as a fool, or Zhang Yun is planning to usurp power in the future, and this, in the final analysis, still treats me as a fool.

One month later, Zhang Yun came at night.

This time his posture was much lower.

Not only is he humble in tone, but he is also very eye-catching in action.

He beat the aides I escorted to Beijing to death in front of me, and sent piles and piles of belongings.

In the past ten years I have lived in the countryside, my loyal servants and good life have made me very spiritually rich, and I have the confidence to tear up the covenant at any time as long as I feel uncomfortable.

The staff received more than [-] boards, and saw that from a fat and handsome man, he was beaten only for breathing in but not for breathing.

I took a sip of the tea and weighed up and down whether to turn my face or not, and finally yelled to stop before he passed out.

I still kept the covenant.

Because this thief ship is actually not so easy to get off.

Zhang Yun has already exposed his intentions. If I don't just go downhill, he should escort me to Beijing in turn, so as to achieve the purpose of silence. The capital of the hall.

The strategies that my staff taught me over the past three years were not in vain. After I told him to stop, Zhang Yun looked visibly relaxed. From then on, whether we met in private or exchanged letters, he respected me very much and never violated the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers. Of course, I no longer embarrass him for no reason. This decision at that time can be said to have a happy ending.

Later, it was considered safe and sound.He lurks in the DPRK to collect information, while I start to manage manpower and raise Deadpool.

But then there was still a conflict between me and him.

As he guided me more and more, I became more and more involved in the matter of revenge and rebellion. In fact, from the moment he found me, there was no way out for me.

The purpose of the rest of my life is revenge, rebellion, although my will is not so strong.

My childhood sweetheart with the daughter of a squire in the village, every year on my birthday, she would embroider me a beautiful purse. I don’t know if I like her, but when I think about leaving Yangjiachong in the future, I will become a stranger with her. Not so willing to see the result.

There is also the son of the head of the village and I have sworn brothers since he was a child. When I was bitten by a snake in the calf in the mountains, he once sucked poison on me with his mouth. It can be said that I have a life-threatening friendship with him.But he has no knowledge, and he doesn't know martial arts. If I go to pursue my future in the future, he will definitely not be able to be of use to me, so I will definitely drift away from him, which is a pity.

I feel more and more that I am not a qualified rebel. There are too many ordinary people and things that concern me, and no one with big ambitions is as stickler for small details as I am.

That year, my Qingmei expressed her love to me on Qixi Festival. She didn't understand anything about my hidden side, and gave me a purse embroidered with mandarin ducks, hoping that I would marry her.I knew I couldn't accept her like this, but I yearned to live a happy life with her in the Yang family for the rest of my life, so I didn't refuse immediately.

But a month later, she was quickly married to someone two hundred miles away. I didn't even have a chance to think about how to talk to her, I was only surprised.

I caught up with her sedan chair and ran seven or eight miles at a stretch. She cried and told me that my third uncle rejected her for me, and at the same time acted as a matchmaker for her, marrying her two hundred miles away.

My "third uncle" is the person Zhang Yun uses to contact me. He calls himself my uncle in Tongzhou.

I am mad.

I rushed to the capital overnight and found Zhang Yun.

Whether to refuse that girl is a decision that should be made by me, and he has no right to make decisions without authorization.

Zhang Yun was working on a big event, and he was also frightened by my actions. In order to coax me out of Beijing, he came up with all kinds of excuses. Abandon this marriage and bring her back.

I went back to Yangjiachong.

However, his almost down-to-earth attitude this time, as well as a series of news that Xue's family was ransacked and imprisoned, still made me suspicious of his motives.

If it's just to avenge me, he doesn't have to work so hard.

I don't know why.

It was my first time to go to Beijing. Apart from my anger, the prosperity of the capital almost blinded my eyes and deeply burned into my mind.

I feel that although I have learned a lot over the years, my knowledge is still too shallow.Zhang Yun only knew to keep me from being exposed, thus trapping me in a small mountain, never seeing the vastness of the outside world.

After a trip to Beijing, I felt even more like a marionette in his hands.

I was not content with this, and after returning to the village for three days, I went to Jiangnan, and did not return to the village until half a month later.

Zhang Yun didn't say anything, and he didn't want to make too much trouble with me.

Naturally, I will not report to him.

Since then, it has been agreed that I go in and out as I like, and when I am not on business, I go to Saibei in the north and Lingnan in the south.If it happens to be down to business, all the better.

I am not married, but there are a few confidante friends in the world, sometimes I will stay with them, and sometimes I will drink to the sound of their piano to relieve my sorrow.

But they don't understand what I'm worried about, because they won't think that this man who is generous in his actions and speaks a bit of elegance is actually a bad seed who will disturb their lives in turmoil in the future.

When we met Wang Liu, we were quite embarrassed with each other.

That day in a land temple in Jiangling, I was sheltering from the rain, and she also came in to shelter from the rain. I probably had been exposed to a heavy rain, my clothes were disheveled, my hair was messy, and I looked very embarrassed. She came in and glanced at me. Sit down in the opposite corner: "Sorry, let me borrow a place to sit."

I think that although I made my face ugly for the convenience of walking outside, I don't look like a beggar who lives in a ruined temple, but she is only in her early twenties, and her rain-stained face has an extra I can't help being a little curious about the vicissitudes of life.

"Miss alone?"

She stopped patting her sleeves, and then rolled her eyes, and I suddenly realized how frivolous the question was.

Fortunately, she didn't react as much as ordinary women. She glanced at me lazily, and then said: "The man is dead. He is alone." After that, she gave me another look: "Don't think I'm easy to bully, I'm There are others."

I sneered.

I'm not that picky about my food, even with her unkempt appearance, I have to deal with it.

Then I ignored her.

When the rain stopped, she left first. Unexpectedly, that night, I met her again in a silk shop.

Who would have thought that she, who looks so weak, is actually a thief!

She was also embarrassed when she saw me, but soon she realized: "Why are you here?"

"What about you?" I asked her.

This silk and satin shop is Zhang Yun's private property. I was passing by here to say hello, so I chose Yeli.

I turned my head and looked at the warehouse lock that had been opened. A new question occupied my attention. The warehouses of all shops are the top priority, and the keys used are very particular. What she is doing here is no longer important. The most important thing is why can she open the lock of the warehouse?

I stared at her hands, there were no keys, only an ordinary flat hairpin.

"You used this to open the lock?"

I have been traveling all over the years, and I have met too many capable people. I have also come into contact with people from all religions and streams, and there are many young people among them. No matter how powerful they are, they are not so powerful that they can open the lock of the warehouse with only a hairpin. .

She looked at me twice, and when she saw my night clothes, she probably regarded me as the same kind, and soon relaxed, and proudly shook the silver hairpin in her hand.

"What else can I use if I don't use it? I'm still not good at learning. Give me a few more years of effort, and I won't have to spend so long at all."

I asked her curiously: "How long have you used it?"

"Oh, a stick of incense."

I was even more surprised.

The big brass lock that locked the warehouse, she opened it within a short time!
"Okay, whoever sees it has a share! Since you bumped into it, let's go in together."

She put the hairpin back on her back: "But don't be greedy, enough food and drink for half a month is enough, we can't go too far with unconscionable things! If I hadn't really run out of options, I wouldn't have thought of such a move."

I blankly followed her through the door, just like a follower, letting her look here and there, but what interested me was not those expensive silks and satins and dozens of silver notes, but this magical woman in front of me !
We left the warehouse two quarters of an hour later.

As expected, she only took a small amount of silver, while I, who had a full purse, also took three silver bills by accident.

"You have good skills, you usually do big things, don't you?"

She asked me when the street was empty. "I'm sorry, I stopped you from making a fortune. It's just that I opened the lock, so you can only listen to me this time."

I'm curious how she, a weak woman, has such courage?
I said, "Don't you have two companions? Where are they?"

She froze for a moment, then frowned: "Why are you asking about this?"

At this point, I have guessed that she was lying when she said that there were two people.But this is even more unbelievable. She clearly speaks the accent of the capital, but she is alone in Jiangling, which is thousands of miles away from the capital, and she is so capable!

I couldn't help being curious about her origin: "I don't have any plans for you, I just wonder why you left alone? Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't tell me."

She responded with silence.

Started to leave me and move on.

I followed her to an inn, and he looked up at the simple door, then turned back and looked at me warily.

I spread my hands: "It can be seen that you are short of money, and I happen to be good at it. I just think that maybe we can cooperate and make more money."

After being silent for a long time, she frowned, but she seemed to believe me a little bit.

She said, "I'm only staying here for a few days, and I can't cooperate with you."

"Where are you going?"

She paused, and rolled her eyes: "Go to Jiangnan. My uncle is an official there, so I'll join him."

I couldn't tell the truth of what she said, because she behaved elegantly and reservedly, and she really didn't come from an ordinary background. It's not surprising that she has an uncle who is an official.

And whether she is or not has nothing to do with me, I just covet the skills in her hands.If I can learn her skills, it will definitely help Zhang Yun and I are planning - just a few days before coming to Jiangling, I received news from Zhang Yun that we are about to usher in the best Opportunity to do it.It's time to implement the big plans we've been planning for years.

But the premise is that we have to gnaw down the hard bone of the Tiangongfang Su family.
