The first emperor had five sons in total, the first and fourth princes were born to the empress of Zhenggong, and the second prince was born to Concubine Liu.As the princes grow up, who can aspire to the throne has become the most popular topic among officials and common people in Xingyang.

The one that everyone and the previous emperor put the most high hopes on is the eldest prince who was born in the first line.But this situation was broken when the eldest prince was 16 years old—the year when the first emperor wanted to make the eldest prince the crown prince.

That year, the eldest prince and the fourth prince were attacked when they left the palace in casual clothes. Although they were rescued by Shen Wengong, the second son of Marquis Wu'an, they still suffered fundamental injuries and died of illness three months later.Witnessed with my own eyes that the fourth prince who was pierced in the abdomen by his eldest brother to protect him worked hard to study and practice martial arts, and finally aspired to the throne 11 years later and became the third emperor of Daxia.

The young emperor Qianchang Emperor He Chengze grew up overnight after witnessing the assassination of his elder brother, which is impressive.Shen Yanyou, the descendant grandson of Marquis of Wu'an's mansion, has become so sensible since he could speak.

Shen Yanyou's birthday is the seventeenth day of May, the ninth year of eternity.

On that day, the eldest prince and the fourth prince were assassinated on the streets of Xingyang. His father Shen Wengong lost his cousin Shen Yanyi because of his rescue.The cousin was snatched away, and the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion was in chaos. The mother, who was just nine months pregnant, was in pain for more than half a day, and gave birth to him very dangerously.

When Shen Yanyou was three months old, the eldest prince died of illness, and his uncle died in battle.

When Shen Yanyou was seven months old, his aunt Luo Shi died of illness.

When Shen Yanyou was four years old, his elder sister Shen Cunyu, who was seven years old, entered the camp of Youhouwei with a silver spear much taller than her.

When Shen Yanyou was five years old, his grandmother died of illness.

Frail children are always more sensitive and thoughtful than healthy children.This is especially true for Shen Yanyou, who grew up in an environment where relatives died of illness one after another and his cousin could not be found.

Every year, the family celebrates his birthday and smiles happily in front of him, but he knows they are unhappy because his cousin was lost on the day he was born.As long as he is, his cousin will be lost for as long as he is.

Because of this, my mother often complained that Shen Yanyi was the only one in the family's eyes who was lost, and that it was Shen Yanyi who caused him to be weak and sick, but Shen Yanyou knew that was not the case since he was five years old.

After the grandmother passed away, the family grieved unceasingly, and the father cried heartbreakingly in the mourning hall.Shen Yanyou had never seen his father like that. He was frightened and had a fever, and was carried back to the room by his mother. When he drank the medicine and was dazed, he heard his mother and grandmother sitting beside the bed talking.

The mother's complaints were interrupted by the grandmother, "These are things in the past, what's the use of you always remembering grudges, if you curse a few more times, Yanyou's health will get better?"

"Mother, I hate it. I am just such a son. I hope that he will get better every day, but you can see that he is so sick. If it wasn't for Shen Yanyi..." The mother was beating her chest and crying, which made Shen Yanyou feel uncomfortable ,Fear.

The grandmother interrupted her mother angrily, "You're talking too much nonsense, and you take it seriously? Yanyou's behavior is all due to you! If you hadn't jumped up for joy after hearing that Shen Yanyi was lost, Yanyou would have given birth prematurely?"

Mother Nuonuo said, "My daughter didn't jump, it was because the floor was damp and she slipped."

The grandmother sneered and asked, "Do you believe this kind of thing?"

The mother fell silent, and the dizzy Shen Yanyou became even more confused.

After a long time, the grandmother's tone became better, and it didn't make Shen Yanyou feel so uncomfortable, "You know how well the Hou and his wife treat Yanyou. If it wasn't for the Hou's mansion to raise him with golden soup and jade spoons, , Yanyou is gone long ago, if you keep complaining so much, your son-in-law will sooner or later break up with you."

The mother retorted, "It's right to take care of him with gold soup and jade spoons. My son is the only grandson of the Hou family, and the Hou family will still count on him in the future."

"Your heart is all on him, why don't you raise your body and have another one." The grandmother's voice was not loud, and her tone was not harsh, but Shen Yanyou became even more frightened when she heard it, "It's up to you whether this child can be raised or not. , maybe before Master Hou leaves, he will leave first."

Shen Yanyou couldn't remember what they said afterwards, but this passage was deeply imprinted in his mind, and he dared not tell anyone.Later, the mother handed him over to the nanny, and stopped guarding him every day.After Shen Yanyou was afraid, he found that many things his mother said were wrong.

The eldest sister doesn't hate him, and will help him beat those who bully him.Grandfather and father didn't just care about the lost cousin, they cared about him too.My grandfather would stay by his bedside because of his illness, telling stories to amuse him; my father would wrap him in a cloak, hold him to watch lanterns, and buy him beautiful clay figurines...

After growing up, the mother gave birth to the third brother, and she protected and guarded him like an eyeball, and didn't care about herself.Shen Yanyou was only down for a few days, and then cheered up.Because he has read and learned about etiquette, he understands how hard his grandfather and father worked, and how hard his elder sister worked.

The grandfather and father had to defend the country against enemies, deal with government affairs, protect the fourth prince from being assassinated and framed, find his cousin and take care of him who was sick.The eldest sister is also very tired, and she has injuries every time she returns home.Even so, they all smiled happily in front of him.

Shen Yanyou also laughed happily, he wanted to reassure them.

He studied hard, and when outsiders mentioned the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, they not only talked about how pitiful Marquis Wu'an was when he lost his grandson, and how ridiculous the elder sister who went to the barracks to fight with a bunch of men, but also let them know that the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion There is also Shen Yanyou who is very good at reading.

When he grows up, Shen Yanyou understands that it is not enough to only study well, because he is a sick child.No matter how hard he tried, not only would outsiders not think highly of the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion because of this, but there would be another sigh: there is a sick man who can read in the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion.

He wants to become powerful.If the body is not good enough, use the brain.

Shen Yanyou began to look beyond the books, above the court, and between the world and the world. Apart from that, he began to look for his cousin Shen Yanyi.He didn't care about the title his mother was thinking about, he wanted to get his cousin back.Because grandfather and father will be truly happy only when their cousin is found.Now he can already understand why his father cried so sadly in his grandmother's mourning hall.Because my father believed that his uncle, aunt, and grandmother died of illness one after another because he lost his cousin.

In Kyushu, it is not easy to find someone.

When Shen Yanyou was 13 years old, his grandfather found out the whereabouts of his cousin, and he resigned on the grounds of recuperation and went south.Before the grandfather left, he had even arranged the affairs of his death, so he meant that he would not return to Beijing if he did not find his cousin.Ever since his grandfather left, Shen Yanyou hadn't been flustered for a single day. He always felt that something would happen. He discussed with his father and dispatched two groups of people to reinforce his grandfather.

But something happened: when my grandfather was in Qi County, the Wolong Dike in Qi County burst.

The news was sent back to the Marquis of Wu'an in Xingyang, and Shen Yanyou told himself over and over again not to panic, not to fall ill, to calm down, and to immediately mobilize people to find his grandfather.After learning that his grandfather was injured but had arrived in Xuanzhou safely, Shen Yanyou and his father had not had time to catch their breath, and the [-]-mile Beiting Duhu Mansion was sent to Beijing in an emergency - more than [-] elite Turkic soldiers invaded Daxia !
There are floods in the south and soldiers in the north.Facing a group of courtiers with their own thoughts, the young emperor had no choice but to pin his hopes on the mansion of Marquis Wu'an, who was highly regarded by him.The grandfather was injured, and the eldest sister became Emperor Qianchang's first choice.

Unwilling to see his uncle's only blood left to go to Beiting to fight for his life, his father asked for orders to go out, and the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion was handed over to 13-year-old Shen Yanyou.Shen Yanyou didn't have the energy to complain that he was not up to date and couldn't lead troops to the expedition. He had to arrange manpower along the way to protect his grandfather's return to Beijing, to prepare for his father's expedition, and to investigate the truth about his grandfather's whereabouts being exposed.

How happy Shen Yanyou was when his grandfather returned to Beijing safely, how uncomfortable, struggling and tired Shen Yanyou was when it was found out that his mother had revealed his grandfather's whereabouts.

Later, he learned about Shen Ge's existence from his grandfather and Xu Chuan, and he hoped that Shen Ge was his cousin, so when his elder sister yelled to go south to meet Shen Ge, Shen Yanyou stood by her side.

If it wasn't for his weakness, he would also like to go.Besides wanting to find his grandson for his grandfather, younger brother for his cousin, and nephew for his father, he also wants to have a brother who can fight side by side and face the ups and downs outside the house with him.

In the mansion, he will bear it all.

After thinking about it in every possible way, Shen Yanyou, the son of man, proposed the idea of ​​confining his mother and cutting off her contact with the outside of the house.

After the elder sister confirmed that Shen Ge was his cousin, the grandfather cried bitterly while hugging the letter, and Shen Yanyou wrote a letter to his father in tears.

After much anticipation and anticipation, it finally came to the day when grandfather and eldest sister returned to Beijing. Shen Yanyou, who went out of the city to welcome him, finally met his cousin after 15 years of delay.

The moment the two looked at each other and smiled, Shen Yanyou knew that his cousin Shen Ge and Shen Yanyi were better than everyone said in their mouths and letters.

The burden on his shoulders can finally be let go, and he can face life and death calmly.
