Chasing King

In the summer of the 34th year of Zhaowu reign, Yan Zilian, the head of the group of ministers, the great Bachelor of wenyuange and the head of the cabinet, who assisted the three emperors, passed away in indignation and unwillingness.

Although Yan Sikong was sad, he was also glad for the Yan family. If Yan Zilian had not gone so "in time", Xie Zhongren would have dealt with the Yan family soon after the collapse of the Fengjia family. Yan Zilian's illness and old age made emperor Zhaowu keep his last kindness. He would have been buried with the funeral ceremony of Zaifu for decades. Otherwise, Yan Zilian might not have been able to get it A good death.

But he knew that as soon as Yan Zilian left, the disaster of the gentry would begin.

When Yan Sikong went to attend the funeral, there was a rumor in Beijing that he had a close relationship with Xie Zhongren. Many of his classmates looked at him with different eyes. The Jinshi who joined the official ranks at the same time now have different situations. Some of them are still young scholars. However, he has made a smooth progress all the way. Under jealousy and suspicion, many people call "Yan's son-in-law" in a strange voice.

At the time of the worship, Yan Sikong red eyes, heavily kowtow a few ring head, heart meditation: "teacher, your unfinished ambition, will be inherited by the students, the students must clean up the treacherous and sycophantic, clean up the government and the wild, reproduce the peaceful and prosperous times of central China.

After the worship, Liang Sui pulled him aside, looking like he wanted to talk and stop: "Sikong, there are a lot of gossips about you in Beijing recently. I'm just breaking my words. It must be the eunuch's malice. Can you..."

Yan Sikong impolitely interrupted him: "brother Liang, you and I have always been friends. I don't regard you as an outsider. I have a few unpleasant advice."

Liang Sui was stunned.

Yan Sikong looked around at his fellow disciples who were also peeking at him, and said in a low voice: "the teacher has passed away. Duke Xie is in power. Next, he will clean up the gentry. There will be a bloody storm to avoid. If the gentleman does not stand under the wall of danger, I hope brother Liang will protect himself." He knows that Liang Sui is not a pure and upright person. Even if he doesn't say it, Liang Sui will become a leader. Moreover, his status and talent can't get into Xie Zhongren's eyes. The purpose of his words is to test Zhou Fuxing and Shuntian Fu Yin behind Zhou Fuxing.

"You..." Liang Sui looked at Yan Sikong in disbelief. He couldn't say a whole word for a long time. He didn't expect that Yan Sikong would be shameless to the point where he promoted his mentor all the way. Before he was cold, he would have gone back to the water as rumored?

Yan Si arched her hand and turned to leave.

just after Yan Zilian's funeral, an invisible fire of war broke out on the court hall. With the passage of time, he entered the hot summer.

Emperor Zhaowu suddenly decreed that Yan Sikong and princess wanyang should be married soon after the Empress Dowager's annual sacrifice.

At the same time, Xie Zhongren led the eunuch party to carry out bloody cleansing of the gentry. Now the gentry is led by Huo Li, the new cabinet leader. However, he is dull and indifferent to power. Contrary to Yan Zilian, he is embarrassed at all. The six ministries and nine ministers are also divided into two groups to attack each other. The gentry has no leader and is defeated by the eunuch party.

Yan Weiming has no ambition, but he has self-knowledge. Before Xie Zhongren rectified him, he resigned for Ding you and wanted his family to go back to his hometown in Jiangnan to farm. However, Xie Zhongren ate Yan Zilian's cowardice for half his life. How could he easily let him go? He wanted to copy Yan Zilian's home in the name of greedy ink. Finally, the officials dissuaded him and made it clear Taking care of his face, the emperor only took back all kinds of rewards to Yan Zilian and ordered the Yan family to go back to their hometown immediately and never return to Beijing.

It's really chilling that the old ministers of the three dynasties and a generation of Zaifu were killed just after the sacrificial month.

During this period, Yan Sikong did not say a word for the Yan family.

In the same way, Xie Zhongren pulled down the officials one by one, killing them, exempting them and demoting them. The court was filled with grief and complaints, and Yan Sikong was silent from beginning to end.

He can only be silent, heartbroken silence, because he knows that even if he died ten thousand times, now, nothing can change.

And he has to live.

Shen Hexuan, who had been forgotten for a long time because he had no time to take care of it, wrote a letter to impeach Xie Zhongren thousands of miles away, listing more than ten major crimes, and pleading injustice for Yan Zilian. Maybe the war was fierce, maybe other people spoke lightly. The impeachment did not stir up too much trouble, but he was so angry that he couldn't find out what Shen Hexuan had to do When he was denounced as a magistrate in a small remote county in Southern Guizhou, there was almost no turning back.

In the history of more than 200 years of Dasheng, he was the second person who was able to manage the world in Lianzhong Sanyuan, and his future was ruined.

Soon after he received a letter of shame from the Beast Master, Shen Hexuan, and he would curse him for cheating others.

Yan Sikong read the letter word by word and thought that it was written by Shen Zhuangyuan. He burned the letter silently, but he had such a good memory that he would never forget it.

The next day, the servant brought a simple jewelry box. When he opened the box, there were several gold and silver jewelry that matched the box very well, and a note. When he opened the box, there were eight words in the beautiful font: two don't owe each other, take care of yourself.The servant said cautiously, "it's Mrs. Shen who sent it. They are leaving today. They say they are going back to their hometown in Suzhou."

Yan Sikong sighed, "call Ali."

Xie Zhongren is narrow-minded, and he will be rewarded for his bad behavior. Even if the eunuch doesn't move, it's a long way to Suzhou. It's easy for the orphan and widowed mother to be in danger. He wants Ali to go to she Zhun and send someone to take care of her secretly.

In addition, he also needs to know how she Zhun's layout is going.

He has given all the information about the imperial edict prison that he got through Yan Zilian to she Zhun. He also bribed the chief bodyguard who took him to see Fengye last time. They know the location of Fengye and fengjianping's prison. The way to break the prison and the route to leave Beijing are improving step by step, so as to be safe.

He knew very well in his heart that when Xie Zhongren finished cleaning up the gentry, and no one in the court dared to plead for the family feudalism, it was the time for them to wave the sword, and they had to finish it as soon as possible, because once Meng duo also lost his power, the father and son in the prison would no longer be taken care of. He was afraid that even if they succeeded in the prison robbery, they would be disabled.

Every day, he told himself that no matter how much he suffered, he would not suffer more than Fengye at this time, so no matter how dangerous the road he chose, no matter how much he was despised, no matter how humiliating he was when he flattered Xie Zhongren.

As long as Feng Ye lives.

since spring hunting, Yan Sikong has never seen Chen again. First, there was a case of family rebellion, and then Yan Zilian died of illness. He didn't go to class for Chen because of his lack of skills. Second, he didn't know how to face Chen because he had no time to care about Chen at this time, and he couldn't answer the questions Chen wanted to ask him.

Today, however, it was the second time that Chen Kai had sent someone to invite him. He could not shirk his invitation any more and went to the east palace.

Goodbye to Chen, there is a little strange between them. Chen no longer wants to show his face at the sight of him, but looks at him from a distance and says: "sir."

"I want to see your Highness the prince." Yan Sikong said that she would kneel.

"No need to be polite." Chen interrupted him, "come in with me."

Yan Sikong sighed in his heart. He really wanted to pay homage to him. I'm afraid that this "Prince" would be a cry or less.

When they entered the palace, Chen Shu waved back and looked at Yan Sikong: "how is your health?"

"Thank you, your highness. I'm fine."

Chen Bi pursed his lips, and he wanted to say nothing.

Yan Sikong asked, "how is your highness recently?"

"Do you think I can do well?" Chen said to himself, "I watched the people standing in front of me fall one by one. I don't know which day it will be my turn."

Yan Sikong couldn't think of how to comfort him for a moment.

Chen Bi stared at Yan Sikong, hesitated for a moment, or came over, stood in front of him, looked up in his eyes: "they all said that you went against the water, and took refuge with Xie Zhongren when Yan Ge was seriously ill."

Yan Sikong's eyes did not move, silent.

Chen's voice was suddenly excited: "don't you explain?"?! Xie Zhongren killed my mother. He committed many crimes... "

Yan Sikong looked back into Chen's eyes and said, "if I say it's an expedient, I'm just living for revenge. Will your Highness believe me?"

Chen Bi looked at Yan Sikong in a dazed way: "are you serious? Do you know what people say about you behind your back? If you are willing to be scolded, you should also This way? "

Yan Sikong said with a bitter smile, "yes, I want to take this road."

"You What about me? " Chen Shuan said in a trembling voice, "what will I do? What should I do? "

Yan Si looked at Chen Fei for a long time, then suddenly reached out and touched his face, and said in a soft voice, "this is the last time we meet

Chen's face changed greatly. He grabbed his hand and held it firmly: "what do you mean by that?"

"When Xie Zhongren has finished cleaning up the gentry and Fengjia, your position as the crown prince will be lost."

Although he had expected it in his heart, he didn't expect that Yan Sikong would say it without hesitation. He was at a loss, flustered and angry, and full of powerlessness: "you How dare you... "

Yan Sikong's knees softened and knelt down in front of Chen.

Chen Yu's eyes were red, and then he collapsed on the ground. He poured into Yan Sikong's arms and choked: "sir..."

Yan Sikong hugged Chen Bi and said in despair, "Your Highness, I can't help you any more."

Chen Bi shed tears.

"Chen Chun is about to become an adult. The emperor will change his position before he becomes an adult. His highness must not fight to save his life...".

Chen was full of hatred: "why, why everything has become like this!"

"The teacher spent all his life, but I didn't admit defeat." Yan Sikong said in a dumb voice, "only from now on, I can't go in parallel with your highness."

"I don't want to give up the throne to Chen Chun, I don't want to!" Chen Mu cried, "I hate, sir, I hate!"Yan Sikong hugged Chen Bi tightly and said in a trembling voice, "I hate it too, but it's just hate. It doesn't help. We have to live and live to have hope."

"What hope is there?" "Even if he doesn't kill me, he will throw me to a remote place and become an idle king. He will be mediocre and depressed all his life It's better to kill me now! "

"Your Highness must not think so." Yan Sikong held Chen Kai's face in his hands, and said in a sharp voice, "if you leave green hills, you are not afraid of no firewood. Even if your highness goes to the fiefdom, you can't abandon yourself. You are still young, and you still have a lot of time. One day, if you can eradicate the treacherous and sycophant and turn the situation around, your highness can't be unprepared!"

Chen Bi looked at Yan Sikong deeply: "are you serious? Can I still be emperor? "

Yan Sikong said: "in my heart, only your highness can be an emperor. As long as I have a breath, I will not give up, nor will my highness."

Chen Bi bit his lips and nodded his head difficultly. His eyes burst out with flames of hatred, pain and ambition beyond his age.

Yan Sikong lifted Chen up and said, "in the future, I can't give lectures for your highness any more. Your highness will keep my words in mind, obey the emperor and save his life. When he arrives at the fiefdom, he will support the people secretly and recruit soldiers. One day, he will have a place to use them!"

"OK, I'll wait for you," Chen said

They looked at each other and saw their determination to die without regret.

Thinking of something, Chen said sadly, "Sir, I want to marry It's the emperor's sister

Yan Si said in a deep voice: "only by marrying Princess wanyang, can I protect myself and also..."

"What can I do?"

Yan Sikong didn't plan to tell Chen Kuai about his prison break. He almost let it slip. He said, "only in this way can we fulfill the teacher's will and make a future appointment with his highness."

Chen Kai opened his mouth and looked deeply into Yan Sikong's eyes. He said: "I..."

Yan Sikong looks at Chen Bi quietly, waiting for him to finish.

Chen hesitated for a long time, then dropped his eyes: "today, I don't know what year it is. I can't bear to see you, sir."

"I don't want to, your highness." Yan Sikong pressed Chen's shoulder, "but you and I will meet again."

Chen once again hugged Yan Sikong, tears rolling down: "call me a son again."

“…… It's not a good idea

When he closed his eyes, he felt so sad.
