"I guess you will remember this song." Putting down the flowers and leaves, Shen Yuqiu still looked calm, but Yi Chenjing could no longer remain indifferent.
If there is anyone in this world who is close to perfection in all aspects, perfect enough to be respected or even worshiped by the picky Yi Chenjing, then this person must be the former Yaoguo Imperial Master, Shen Junfang.
Everyone in the world knows that Emperor Yao is brave and powerful. He has fought endless battles for more than 20 years and led the weak Yao country to become the strongest country in Zhongzhou. However, except for General Ou and other cronies who have been following him all year round, very few people know about all this. Most of it is attributed to a mysterious man in his weak years. This man is a young national master who has never appeared in any history books of the distant country and only existed briefly in people's hearts.
Yi Chenjing was still young at that time, and the face of the Imperial Master Shen Junfang was blurred in his memory. All he could remember was the tall, thin back of the cheerful young man who forced him to call him uncle because he was more than ten years older, and Whenever his father returns in triumph, Shen Jun sings loud and heroic songs on the city wall. Whether it is the formation of troops or the strategy of the world, whether it is the power struggle of the previous dynasty or the tax laws, the only 20-year-old Shen Junfang's performance astounds everyone. The extraordinary wisdom of heavenly beings, and what is even more amazing is that this young national master is not only extremely talented, but he can also pick up a pen and ink, and raise a gun to kill an enemy. He is so perfect that he is almost a god.
It was Shen Junfang who laid the foundation for Emperor Yao to unify Zhongzhou today. It was he who smiled and said when Yi Chenjing looked into the distance with envy and longing, sooner or later, you will command thousands of troops and become a general who is not inferior to His Majesty. .
"What is your relationship with Shen Guoshi?" Yi Chenjing asked Shen Yuqiu eagerly, ending his endless memory.
As far as Yi Chenjing knows, Shen Junfang has no heirs, and Shen Yuqiu's age does not match. However, Shen Yuqiu's surname and the song are enough to prove his extraordinary relationship with Shen Yuqiu - that song, Shen Junfang once He proudly said that he would only sing to those close to him.
"It's my sixth uncle." Shen Yuqiu didn't hide anything, and answered simply. Shen Junfang also remembered endlessly when he mentioned it, "Sixth uncle rested here after he got sick. It's a pity that my medical skills were not good at that time and I couldn't save him. I just watched helplessly. Watch him take his last breath. Until he died, he was still thinking about the great cause of your Yi family's imperial plan. I was very clear about his failure to help Emperor Yao unify Zhongzhou. If he hadn't been too busy with those physically and mentally exhausted As a matter of fact, Uncle Liu would never die so young."
Yi Chenjing felt a sense of sadness: "I am jealous of talents, no one thought that my uncle, the Imperial Master, would die of illness in his early twenties..."
"I told you, it was because of overwork for your Yi family that he fell ill. He is a fool. He devoted everything to plan the world for your Yi family for the sake of 'favor of knowledge'. Now the territory of the distant country is unprecedentedly vast. , how many of them were obtained by the Sixth Uncle's advice? Oh, what was the result? What did Emperor Yao do when he was criticized by jealous and capable courtiers? The emperor is ruthless, and no matter how good his advisers are, they can't resist suspicion. When the enemy's country is defeated, it will end. I will die in depression without your favor."
Shen Yuqiu's tone seemed to be filled with great anger, but it seemed that he was blaming Yao Huang for listening to and believing his unjust minister, which led to Shen Junfang's death. Yi Chenjing did not know the details, and it was inconvenient to argue too much. At that time, Shen Junfang suddenly Bad news came shortly after Shen Junfang resigned from his job and returned to his hometown due to a serious illness. Emperor Yao was deeply saddened when he received the news, but he did not allow anyone to go to Shen Junfang's hometown to pay his respects. What is even more puzzling is that since then, no one dared to make it public Mentioning Shen Junfang's name seems like Emperor Yao issued an imperial edict and erased those three words from the history books of Yao Kingdom forever.
Those who remember it keep it in their hearts and dare not speak out.
No wonder Shen Yuqiu is so disgusted with the descendants of the royal family. Unexpectedly, the prejudice started from Shen Junfang. Yi Chenjing could only sigh. She lamented the impermanence of the world, lamented the unpredictable nature of the human heart, lamented that fate played tricks on people, and her father more than twenty years ago The nephew of the imperial advisor whom the emperor relied on the most turned out to be a weird poisonous doctor who saved the life of his loved one twenty years later, which makes people laugh and laugh.
Now that we have a long history, many things will be much easier to handle. Yi Chenjing glanced at the monastery where Bai Qige was sleeping quietly, and sighed deeply: "We'll talk about the gossip later. Since you can find out that Qige lost her tire due to poisoning, Son, can the poison be detoxified so that she can get pregnant again?"
"Who do you think I am, Daluo Jinxian? Or the reincarnation of the Bodhisattva?" Shen Yuqiu frowned with a disdainful snort, "If the poison is sent here within ten days, it may be cured, but now... it's too late, her poison It has become a disease that has penetrated deep into the muscles and bones, and even I can’t do anything about it.”
In other words, the fact that Bai Qige can no longer be a mother in this life cannot be reversed. The child who died before he was born was the first and last child between Yi Chenjing and her.
A gloomy look appeared in Shen Yuqiu's eyes. Although he didn't understand Yi Chenjing's feelings, he also understood what such a cruel fact meant to the prince who had the ambition to conquer the world. He couldn't say anything deceptive and comforting, so he could only shake his head lightly: "I I advise you to either let go of the throne or cut off your relationship with that woman as soon as possible. There are three types of unfilial piety, and the worst is not having an heir. Moreover, if you really want to rule the world, you must consider the issue of continuation of the throne. As I said before, fish and bear's paws You can't have it both ways. If you dote on her and love her, you will definitely make her your queen. How are you going to face the questions from the civil and military officials? Falling out with a loyal minister because of a woman? That would be the same as a cowardly king. "
Bai Qige's character and knowledge will naturally not hinder Yi Chenjing's imperial career. She is like the most loyal confidant and can be an effective adviser in both big and small matters. However, Yi Chenjing has never considered that she would conflict with the throne. Listen. With Shen Yuqiuyan's concise and concise analysis, he suddenly realized that the truth that he had never dared to tell Bai Qige was not yet complete. Some things could be treated as if they had not happened if they were concealed. Whether he and Bai Qige could go on together, the future was uncertain.
He tolerated her infertility, but what about other people, mothers, courtiers, and the world, who would be like him and risk everything because of his love for her?
Ye Huawan returned to the room at this time and listened to the conversation between the two. The conflict focused on Bai Qige's illness. She couldn't help but blurt out: "Sister Bai can't have children. Wouldn't it be better if the big man married another woman?" "
This sentence caused everyone to fall silent. Shen Yuqiu gave Ye Huawan a cold look. It was not like the half-joking doting before, but a real reproach.
If the relationship can reach the point where Bai Qige and Yi Chenjing are not afraid of life and death, how can they allow other people to interfere? I'm afraid that if someone really gets involved, they will become a thorn in the side, and no one will get a good result. . However, after a while, Shen Yuqiu took a deep breath and actually agreed with Ye Huawan's clueless opinion: "This is a solution. I know your affection for her, but the throne is no better than anything else. As long as you are like now If you treat her with the same sincerity, what does it matter whether she is a queen or a concubine? If she is really a person worthy of your cherishment, she should understand your choice."
Shen Yuqiu's intention was that Yi Chenjing should make another woman his queen and Bai Qige his concubine, so that they would neither need to be separated nor be harshly criticized.
"Impossible." Unexpectedly, Yi Chenjing refused flatly without even thinking about it. His eyes were calm and he didn't seem to be talking nonsense out of impulse. "I promised her that if she really ascends the throne of God in the future, she will have a harem of three thousand people." No one is left, she is the only one who sleeps with her in this life." After saying this, Yi Chenjing was stunned for a long time, and suddenly smiled bitterly: "What are you talking about? You can't even go back to the imperial capital, so what's the use of imagining something that you don't have? "
Shen Yuqiu raised his eyebrows and his eyes were clear: "I will protect you from returning to the imperial capital."
Since he is Shen Junfang's favorite junior, Shen Yuqiu naturally has his own merits. Yi Chenjing has no doubt about this. Similarly, she is not surprised at all when Shen Yuqiu says that she will help him return to the imperial capital.
only……
"Why help me?"
"I'm not helping you, but helping Uncle Six fulfill his last wish." Shen Yuqiu stood up and looked at the medicine garden with a slightly absent-minded gaze, "Uncle Six mentioned you to me when he was recuperating here. Not only you, but also The fifth prince, General I, and many others. He said that when he was at his lowest, it was Emperor Yao who gave him food and the opportunity to develop his ambitions. He wanted to repay with thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, but it's a pity that he hasn't seen it yet. On the day when Emperor Yao unifies Zhongzhou... Uncle Sixth's favorite prince is you, and the prince he looks forward to the most is the fifth prince. He once said that if given the opportunity, he would teach the fifth prince what he has learned throughout his life, so that the Yi family will never die. Enjoy the country and be the emperor from generation to generation."
Yi Chenjing did not raise any questions or rebuttal.
Even though he was young, he could see who Shen Junfang was really interested in. No matter how good that unparalleled young imperial master was to him, he was not as fond of him as Yi Chenxuan. In fact, it was not just Shen Junfang, but also Yi Chen when he was a child. Xuan has already shown that he is far more mature, stable and talented than other princes. Except for practicing martial arts, he is ahead of many princes in everything. Which minister or concubine in the former harem does not say that Yi Chenxuan is a treasure? He has always said that Yi Chenxuan is a treasure. They are all foils, unknown and dim. Only Shen Junfang will care about him and will tell him, you are a man and a general. In the future, you will lead troops to fight and command thousands of troops.
It is undeniable that many of his choices in this life were due to Shen Junfang's words, but that person was the only one who left a brilliant mark in his childhood life.
Even though it was not him who was regarded as the emperor's candidate.
"I knew your identity but refused to save that woman, and that's why." Shen Yuqiu looked at the gorgeous flower field and continued, "Uncle Sixth hopes that the fifth prince will inherit the great cause, and I save you to add obstacles to the fifth prince. It’s not that Xiao Yezi and the other two have been begging so hard, by now I think you already hate me to the core.”
"But you still saved Qi Ge."
Shaking his head slightly, Shen Yuqiu seemed to be very disappointed: "The poison she was poisoned by was extremely bad. The fact that she was able to do this shows that the fifth prince is by no means as gentle as Uncle Liu said - Uncle Liu was a genius in his lifetime, but he only cares about people." If you don't know clearly, otherwise you won't waste your whole life on a stupid king. The country will always need a wise king instead of a tyrant. The fifth prince is like this to his brothers, let alone the common people who have nothing to do with him? I don't want to see it. The prosperous country that Uncle Six had worked so hard to obtain was turned into scorched earth. He wanted to see the distant country prosper forever, so I will find a monarch for him who can keep this land stable for a hundred years. It is also worthy of my childhood. Taught me a lot of things."
It sounds really sad and ridiculous to have outsiders decide who will secure the throne. However, Yi Chenjing knows very well that as far as the current situation is concerned, Shen Yuqiu definitely has this ability. And if he is as talented as Shen Junfang...
With his support, it can be said that the Dayao throne is firmly in hand.
