It was already Youshi time when the five giants in Yizhou had arranged their affairs in Shu County. At this time, it was rainy in Shu County, but it was sunny in Zhangye County. In the master bedroom of Chaohui Hall of the Yang Mansion, on the bed surrounded by gauze curtains, under the brocade quilt embroidered with hibiscus patterns, a pair of barely visible beauties hugged each other; and in the "narrow" space, apart from the outside view, The scent of sandalwood and a lingering smell came from it.
At this moment, Princess Wei Xiao Ying was as weak as a sloth clinging to her husband. .
"Lang Jun, are your injuries okay?" Xiao Ying looked at the bruises on her husband's shoulders and asked with concern.
Yang Ji gently stroked his wife's frowning eyebrows, lifted up the sweaty hair on his cheeks, and said with satisfaction: "It's okay, haven't you tried it?"
It's a shame to say that although he refused the soldiers' request for a martial arts contest on the school field, he still had a contest with his "brother-in-law" Pei Xingyan behind his back. Pei Xingyan was not yet "Pei Yuanqing" at this time, so he punished him ruthlessly. A meal. Feeling proud, he invited Wei Yunqi to enter the arena and fight against the two generals Pei and Wei on his own. Then tragedy struck him. First he received a hammer from Pei Xingyan, and then Wei Yunqi hit him with a "bang". hammer.
Fortunately, their martial arts had reached their level, and they had a sense of restraint and exertion, otherwise Yang *** would have been quite miserable. But it was also because of the martial arts competition. If it were a life and death fight, Pei Xingyan, who was not yet mature in martial arts, would have been stabbed to death by him. How could he be "injured" later?
The injury was an insignificant injury, but when Xiao Ying heard that he was injured, she was extremely nervous and insisted on checking and applying medicine.
After wiping and wiping, the couple became like this.
Xiao Ying heard this, stretched out her slender hands, gently pinched the soft flesh of Yang Ji's waist, and said shyly: "Isn't it you?"
Yang Ji looked at his wife who was as beautiful as a fairy with a smile: "It doesn't matter who she is! What matters is that my Aying is so beautiful that my husband can't control her."
Although she knew that these words were mostly to make herself happy, Xiao Ying still felt an unspeakable sweetness in her heart. Thinking that her husband had not done anything, she said in a greasy and trembling voice: "Brother Wenhui!"
When Yang Ji listened to this sweet voice, the "Toujia Wujinshu" that calmed down slightly became stronger and harder; he lowered his head and looked at his wife in surprise: "..."
What are you doing?
A thick red cloud suddenly appeared on Xiao Ying's beautiful face, she opened her beautiful eyes and looked at Yang Ji, and said softly: "I want to have another child!"
The beautiful young woman with a gentle and gentle temperament suddenly showed a shyness like a girl, but it made Yang Ji unable to control himself. In an instant, he was ready to make a move. He glanced at the sky outside the window and saw the sky full of setting clouds. He hesitated and said, "I'm afraid A Ying, Rumei and the others are coming to call us!"
"It's not like they haven't seen her before." Xiao Ying turned over and faced Yang Ji with her graceful and beautiful back.
"Then let's have a baby!" Yang Ji lifted up the quilt and stuck it on.
I don’t know how long it took, but the red light in the sky began to sink. In an instant, the sunset became more brilliant, and dark clouds gradually covered the sky. The night wind suddenly picked up, and the shadows outside the window swayed in the wind and shadows danced in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Qiu Shui, who was waiting outside, heard a familiar voice coming from the inner room, and his heart skipped a beat. He quickly closed the shoji door and quietly went down to the first floor, asking his sister to prepare the bathing soup together.
About half an hour later, a hearty battle finally came to an end. Yang Ji gently stroked Xiao Ying's frowning eyebrows, and pushed the sweaty temples on her face to both sides. After a long moment of silence, he asked: "Ah Ying, why are you like this today...?"
Xiao Ying's breath was still uncertain, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be closed or opened, and she said "Hmm". She seemed to be still intoxicated, and said softly and feebly: "Mr. Lang, I see that you particularly like the well-behaved Guanyin, and I also want to give you a baby." Little princess!"
Yang Ji couldn't laugh or cry and said: "The little princess can be born again in the future!"
Half an hour ago, he actually knew that his wife could not bear the challenge, but sometimes, rationality is completely taken away by emotion, the atmosphere is heightened to that point, and Xiao Ying actually stimulates him like never before.
"I thought Hao'er was a girl, and I made a lot of girls' clothes and accessories. Although Hao'er is a boy, I am very happy. But I know that boys are naughty and not as good as girls, and I also want to have a girl. What if? We have a daughter, I will dress her up beautifully." Xiao Ying also slowly calmed down.
Come, open your beautiful eyes, bury your baby head in Yang Ji's arms, and whisper: "In addition, my husband is depressed these days, and he seems to have no confidence in the war. I feel very distressed, but I can't help you, so I …”
Yang Ji was speechless for a moment.
"Husband!" Xiao Ying saw that Yang Ji was silent, and the misunderstanding deepened. She turned to her husband, looked at her with a pair of beautiful black and white eyes, said with a pale face and a trembling voice: "Marrying a good husband, yes My blessing. I have chosen my husband in my life, and I would rather die than regret it. I, I don’t have the courage and courage like my mother-in-law. If the husband comes back triumphant again, everyone will be happy; if, if the war doesn’t go well, , I will never live in this world.”
"What a silly girl!" Yang Ji felt pity and guilt in his heart. He hugged his sweaty wife tightly, took her face and rubbed her gently; after a while, he looked at her tenderly but very determinedly. His wife said softly: "I am actually very confident about this battle. There is no possibility of us losing!"
Xiao Ying asked with surprise: "Then why is the gentleman so unhappy?"
"Half annoyed, half pretending!" Yang Ji said: "I'm annoyed, first of all, because after returning from the capital this time, I feel that there are so many things happening in the court and within the Wei Wang family, which makes me extremely annoyed."
"What's the second annoying thing? Does it also come from saints?" Xiao Ying asked nervously: "How about, Mr. Lang, tell me about saints?"
Since returning, she obviously felt that her husband seemed to be wary of the emperor. But she didn't know the specific reason; if she didn't know, she was afraid that she would do something inappropriate, so it was best to ask.
"You and I are one husband and wife. I didn't tell you about the saint because I was afraid that one more person would worry about it, but it didn't help. But since you are aware of it, I might as well tell you." Yang Ji thought about it. Thinking about it, he said rather sadly: "In the Renshou Palace, my uncle solemnly confessed to me before he died. He said that a promising king is destined to be a loner, and at the same time he is also the most ruthless person in the world. Of course, that does not mean that Their true ruthlessness was that they had to be selfless and unselfish for the sake of the world. So for the sake of the world, he punished Qin Wangjun in accordance with the law, but as a father, he suffered more than anyone else, but he had no choice but to do it."
"He said that the saint is also a promising king, and he will definitely be like him in the future; for the sake of the world, sometimes he has to restrain his personal emotions and sacrifice his family. So let me never think that the saint is my elder brother, but Just like other ministers, he should be regarded as a sharp knife for profit and an emperor who only cares about profit and the world. In the future, in the process of communication, he should also interact as a minister. Those who should be alienated must be alienated and those who should be calculated must be alienated. Calculate, this is the long-term solution, otherwise, I will suffer a big loss."
Xiao Ying was shocked and moved after hearing what her husband said.
She knew that the late emperor and his wife loved Yang Ji extremely much during his lifetime, and they pampered him to the point of being lawless. And her husband did not disappoint them. From now on, he is definitely the most accomplished general under the sage. However, she never dreamed that the late emperor would specifically ask Yang Ji to alienate his son for the sake of Yang Ji's safety. This kind of treatment is probably not available to the late emperor's descendants. The uncle and aunt loved and doted on their nephew to such an extent that it was unprecedented.
"When the saint ascended the throne, he might not have thought much of it, but now, his former friends, confidants, and disciples have all alienated him. This has made him deeply aware of the loneliness of "being in a high place and feeling cold", so he especially needs me. Brother, "friend", he wants me to say what I need to say and scold when I need to, as usual, but, how can I dare?"
Thinking about the scene at Li Chuntai, Yang Ji was also extremely sentimental; he could feel Yang Guang's trust in him and his trust in him far beyond before. He naturally hoped that this relationship could continue, but after all, the emperor was The world is the most important thing, and anyone can sacrifice for the world. However, he has his own family and faction, and he simply does not dare to treat Yang Guang like before.
After all, Yang Guang is an emperor who puts the world first. If Yang Ji is not sure whether the other party can fully trust him, if he continues to be as careless as before, he is obviously seeking death.
However, he has not yet thought of the best way to get along with each other and the balance point, and he cannot tell outsiders yet; then many things are coming one after another, so he is also very upset.
When he told these worries and troubles one by one,
Xiao Ying finally understood everything.
The emperor's trust in his husband is based on the battles between the noble families, and the husband has made enemies all over the world. However, if the husband does not do well in a certain aspect, or in this battle, he is eaten. defeat.
The enemies in the court and the noble families in the world will definitely attack in groups, using all the resources and energy at hand to verbally and physically criticize her husband.
Once the world is in an uproar, will Yang Guang, the emperor, save her husband?
The answer is obviously no!
Seeing that Xiao Ying seemed to be thinking, Yang Ji sighed softly.
This is why he doesn't want to tell Xiao Ying about his relationship with the emperor, because Xiao Ying can't help at all with this kind of thing.
Since she asked and said it herself, it could at least make her mentally prepared.
Hearing her husband's sigh, Xiao Ying whispered: "Mr. Lang, it's my fault. I shouldn't mention this."
"You are right to mention these!" Yang Ji said with a bitter smile: "The emperor uses me so much, it is because I am valuable. But a prince with such a high position as me can easily make the emperor suspicious. If I hadn't If his expectations are met, then it will be easy for the Holy Family to decline, and hundreds of officials and political enemies to attack... Well, let's not talk about these troubles."
The relationship between him and Yang Guang seems to be unbreakable. If he was still the good-for-nothing dandy king, this relationship would be equally unbreakable. However, Yang Guang is no longer the king and prince of Jin, and he is not the powerless and unrealistic dandy king before. , so their friendship was mixed with too much utilitarianism and power, making it impossible for them to go back to the past.
If there is a rift in their current relationship, it will soon turn into a wide and deep chasm under the instigation of those who are afraid of chaos in the world. At that time, Yang Guang was like Yang Jian and Yu Qingze, Yang Jian and Gao Jiong, Yang Jian and He Ruobi... No matter how much trust he had in the beginning, he would hate him later.
One of the most important characters of Yang Ji is that the emperor stabbed the Guanlong nobles and family members to death with a sharp knife. Although he also believed that he could fight to the end with the family members, military affairs and the emperor's thoughts often changed due to the situation. Times have changed. If Yang Guang was at a disadvantage in his fight with the Guanlong nobles, and the world was in turmoil because of it, he would definitely use himself to appease the anger of "the people of the world".
At that time, this kind of powerful backlash was enough to swallow up everything in existence. As Yang Guang's elder, his mother's aunt might be able to survive, but Xiao Ying, Pei Shuying, Liu Rumei and their sons would definitely not be lucky.
These worries of his began to become more intense after Yang Guang hooked up with Yang Su's children.
There is no doubt about Yang Su's military achievements and political gains. More importantly, when Yang Yong and Yang Guang were fighting for the throne, he could clearly stay out of the matter. No matter who became the emperor, it had no impact on him. However, under the pressure of Yang Jian, he had to side with Yang Guang, and then he had to do many shady things in order for Yang Guang to succeed. However, not long after Yang Su died, Yang Guang took advantage of the stupidity of Yang Su's children. Started to test.
This was certainly caused by the stupidity of Yang Yue, Yang Xuangan and others, but if Yang Guang really believed in them, he would not be like this.
It was precisely because of this that Yang Ji had a strong sense of caution. Although he had no intention of rebellion, he had to be wary of danger in times of peace!
"I thought before that after Yu Wenshu's fall, Lang Jun went to the enemy and there would be no more danger..." Xiao Ying said softly.
In fact, Yang Ji still underestimated his wife. In the martial arts cheating case that year, Yang Ji started the battle with Yu Wenzhiji because of tactics, which also caused him to be at a disadvantage before the start.
Xiao Ying saw that the situation was not good at that time, and knew that Yuwen Zhiji was at fault, so she went to the palace to see Empress Xiao, hoping that she would influence the emperor and treat Yang Ji and Liu Rumei fairly. However, she couldn't defeat Princess Nanyang who came forward for the Yuwen family; this incident also made her understand the difference between closeness and distance. When things involve people close to her, the queen puts the people closest to her first and will not reason with her sister at all.
The Queen is like this, and the Emperor is also like this. So her illusions about the emperor and empress were shattered. In addition, she had no connection with the royal family before, so she was more open-minded about the incident than Yang Ji, who was a player in the game.
"My ministers are just pawns in the overall situation of the world. Yuwen and I
As mentioned above, your brothers are no exception. For now, the real crisis comes from ourselves, not from political opponents such as Yu Wenshu. Yang Ji sighed and said, "Although the world is full of traps, you just need to be yourself and don't worry too much." "
Yang Ji has not failed the late emperor or the emperor, nor has he failed anyone in the lineage of King Wei, nor has he failed his family or the people of Liangzhou.
Looking at everything he has done since he became an official, he can definitely pat his chest and say "he has a clear conscience."
