The Prosperity of Jingdi Chronicle

Chapter 20 Anyang Xiao Family

Fudge came forward and whispered a few words in his ear, Wei Yan knew the cause and effect of the matter, and after knowing it, he couldn't help but feel even more headache.

He bypassed Yan Yucheng who had been dragged out and pushed him down on the ground, and quickly stepped in. The servants were cleaning up the mess on the ground. The emperor sat upright, still with a sullen face. Seeing him salute, he just waved his hand impatiently. , motioned him to sit down beside him, and didn't talk to him, obviously the anger was still lingering.

"I implore Your Majesty to be merciful. Although Yan Yucheng's absurd behavior is unforgivable, there is a reason for it. It's better to change his stick to [-] and let him have a longer memory. If the punishment is too heavy, it will ruin his lightness. It's a pity, and it will inevitably spoil your Majesty's interest in having fun in the future." Even though the emperor's face looked so ugly, Wei Yan still pleaded, but something flashed in his mind while speaking, and before he could Catch it and it disappears without a trace.

The emperor has always liked to use people as a weapon, but he can't allow others to use him as a weapon.Although they used tricks to make Wei Yan misunderstand and make Wei Yan jealous, but there were really people who were so bold that they tried to make things happen, but they wanted to be furious.

This attitude of only allowing state officials to set fires and not allowing the common people to light lamps is really overbearing to the extreme, but Wei Yan has nothing to do about it.The emperor used to have such a temper, and now it is getting worse. No matter how much he persuades him, it is still the same. He can only discuss with him and beg him for mercy, but he still can't help but choke the emperor at the end of the sentence, and remind the emperor by the way, In the matter of Yan Yucheng, although the emperor is not the culprit, he definitely played a role in fueling the flames, and it is impossible to stay out of the incident and easily expose it.

Although he opened his mouth to plead for Yan Yucheng, but Yan Yucheng dared to prescribe medicine to the emperor, it was really audacious, and he should suffer a little bit to grow his memory.If it wasn't for a reason, if it wasn't for the fact that he had only given the secret medicine, this would be a charge of punishing the Nine Clans, so how could he get away so easily.

After hearing what he said, the emperor raised his head and stared at him for a long time, and came out with these words:

"Are you begging me?"

Wei Yan paused before daring to nod.

"Yes, I implore Your Majesty to show mercy."

"Okay, for the sake of your pleading for him, I will spare his life." The emperor agreed without saying a word.

As soon as he said this, it was Wei Yan's turn to be dazed.He originally thought that the emperor had put a lot of thought into it, and when he finally got the chance to intercede, he would inevitably propose various embarrassing conditions in exchange for him. It can be solved easily, and the emperor granted his request without asking anything.

Everything abnormal is a demon.His Majesty the Emperor is not a master who is willing to suffer. In the past, there was no opportunity, and he would create an opportunity to take advantage of it. Now that he has such a good opportunity to threaten, he is willing to let it go. Could it be that he has a bigger plan?

Wei Yan observed him carefully for a long time, but couldn't see any clues from his face, so he could only press down the doubts in his heart, and dealt with it nervously and carefully.

Nothing happened that night, nothing happened the next day, and nothing happened on the third day. After a few days of peace and success, Wei Yan finally stopped being nervous and felt like facing an enemy. Slowly put it back in the stomach, thinking of going to the side hall to visit Yan Yucheng who was beaten.

There are countless mysteries in the punishment of stick punishment in the palace. If it is not done properly in advance, even if it is twenty sticks, if you are unlucky, you will die.Before the execution that day, Wei Yan had already signaled Fuji to make arrangements, so what Yan Yucheng suffered was flesh and blood, and no muscle or bone was hurt.

After the execution was over that day, Yan Yucheng had already been dragged in to thank him. Apart from the emperor, who ordered him to be beaten, of course, Wei Yan, the benefactor who saved his life, was also included.

Today Yan Yucheng saw that he brought medicine to visit, and struggled to get up to thank him again.

"Don't move around, your wound hasn't healed yet, if you move around like this, it will open." Seeing this, Wei Yan hastily stretched out his hand, put it on his shoulder, and pressed him down, preventing him from getting up and saluting.

"Your Majesty's kindness, the grassroots will never forget it. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely repay you." Yan Yucheng has always believed in repaying kindness with kindness and revenge with revenge. He hates those who brought him into the palace. To the bottom of his heart, but he didn't hate Wei Yan, and he didn't even have much resentment towards the emperor himself.

In his mind, although Wei Yan is noble and powerful, he is obviously a hard-working person if he falls into the hands of the moody emperor who is difficult to serve. Besides, after the incident failed that day, Wei Yan was willing to intercede for him, so he is right. He is very grateful.

He thanked him repeatedly like this, which made Wei Yan feel very uneasy.He was just worried about those things that are not humane. He clearly knew that the people in front of him were suffering from unreasonable disasters, but he always competed with the emperor and was more patient. Kindness, I am really ashamed.

When the torture was carried out that day, even though it had been treated beforehand and no muscle or bone was hurt, the physical pain was not pleasant. At this time, Yan Yucheng was lying on the mattress, and the red and swollen stick marks on his exposed back were clearly discernible. The sticks were swollen up to the height of two fingers, and the skin and flesh at the intersection of the stick prints burst open, revealing bright red flesh and blood. It looked quite scary. Seeing this scene, Wei Yan was filled with guilt, and he had to do something to feel at ease. .

However, his feelings were just taken for granted, probably not as much as what Yan Yucheng actually suffered.In the first half of his life, he was pampered by his father and brother, and in the second half of his life, he was spoiled by the emperor. The pain of exile was different from others, and he had never experienced such a pain as punishment with a stick.

Even if it fell into the emperor's hands at the beginning, the biggest pain he experienced was in the intercourse, and it didn't mean that the emperor would be cruel when he favored him, but he was not happy in his heart, so he felt that he could not bear it. As for normal life, let alone a cane punishment, even if he knelt for a while longer, the emperor would feel sorry for him.

Of course, it was also because the emperor was tossing around there at the beginning, so that he fell into a problem. Every time the emperor wanted to change new tricks in the intercourse, he would feel that something was wrong with him. , Even if he tasted the joy in the end, he still stubbornly believed that only those habitual postures were the real way to love, and he couldn't make the emperor enjoy himself every time.

"After a few days, Your Majesty's anger subsides. I beg Your Majesty to let you out of the palace." At this time, Wei Yan felt guilty, but he couldn't care less. Even if the emperor might open his mouth at that time, he would not let you go In my heart, while helping Yan Yucheng with the medicine, I made a promise and wanted to make up for it.

Besides, although he made up his mind not to ask any questions these days, after watching it coldly, the emperor seemed to be purely making fun of the people in front of him. What happened in the past few days seemed to show that it was not aimed at him. In that case, he tried to persuade him a few words, thinking that the emperor would let him out of the palace.

"No." Yan Yucheng could feel the throbbing pain in his back even as he breathed, he squeezed out the word with grinning teeth, and pronounced the word quite clearly and forcefully.

"Why?" Wei Yan was very puzzled. The emperor was so angry this time. Could it be that the person in front of him hadn't come to his senses yet, and could not help persuading him, "Your Majesty, he has no such intention. What you want to do will not succeed."

"Master Hou won't understand, the hatred in my heart..." The more Yan Yucheng thought about it, the more sad he became. Only by borrowing the hand of the emperor can he achieve his goal.

He acted too hastily that day, and that's why he made it like this. If it takes time, it may not be impossible to find a suitable opportunity.

People in the world say that it is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain. He is such a lowly person, but he is a real villain.People in the world also say that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, and for a villain to take revenge every moment. After learning this lesson, a villain like him will definitely use everything he can use more carefully in the future.

"Don't worry, Lord Hou, even if I get His Majesty's favor in the future, I will never be such an ungrateful villain. Besides, without me, there will be others." Yan Yucheng thought that Wei Yan was worried about him competing for favor , was anxious to send him out of the palace, and quickly made a promise.

"You...it's not like this..."

Wei Yan couldn't tell for a moment, how could this matter happen like this, Yan Yucheng made up his mind again, he didn't want to go out of the palace with all his heart, wasting Wei Yan's saliva for a long time, and there was nothing he could do about him.

Turning around, he mentioned this matter to the emperor. The emperor just laughed at him as "being treated as a donkey's liver and lungs again for his good intentions." s things.

It's a pity that with his morality, it is definitely impossible to sort out those fancy intestines in the emperor's stomach, so he tossed and turned, but in the end it was fruitless.

Before the palace was settled, the long journey of the eldest son Wei Minwen was put on the agenda, and the Wei manor began to get busy, preparing luggage and other tools. The posture of evacuation makes people can't help but guess whether the son is going to "travel far away" or "marry far away" without ever returning.

Wei Yan was extremely sad that his son was about to leave, but he had already promised the emperor, it was really hard to backtrack, and besides him, the rest of the Wei family agreed with this matter, which also made him unable to do so. Objecting, you can only sit back and watch the day when your son will leave is approaching day by day.

"Jade can't be cut, it can't be used." Wei Yan's mother, Liu Shi, knew her son's thoughts, and she was quite reluctant to let her precious grandson go outside to endure hardships, but she knew that in order for Minwen to be able to afford the Yongning Hou Mansion in the future. The burden, proper experience and tempering is necessary, so I found an opportunity to relieve my son, "When you were a child, you were sent to Tanjia Village to learn art. You were only six years old, more than half younger than Minwen, and everything is in order. , no one needs to worry. Now that Minwen is 15 years old, and he is with his mother again, she will take good care of her, let alone you worry about it."

Back then, when Wei Yan was sent to Tan's Village, Liu's family was also very reluctant and uncomfortable. In fact, for the sake of his son's health and safety, he had to harden his heart and keep him away from his side. She often wets the tear towel, but she will definitely not say these words to her son.

People say that a strict father is a loving mother, but the son felt guilty and compensated for the grandson who recognized him many years later. How can he be strict? Moreover, the grandson knew things when he recognized him, and he was smart and quick in dealing with things. The father and son Has its own way of getting along, looks awkward but is actually intimate.

Liu can understand the feelings of her son who hurts her grandson to the bone, but children and grandchildren have their own blessings, both for her and for her son, so she can only try her best to comfort him.

"My child understands." Although Wei Yan was reluctant, he also understood that Luzhu wanted to take his son out to experience, not to take his son away, but to plan early for his son's future.

It's one thing to understand, but it's another thing to feel aggrieved and uncomfortable in his heart.Originally, he, the father, should be planning for his son's future, but his relationship with the emperor made it difficult.

The Wei family already has too much glory, and the future Yongning Hou Shizi doesn't need to add more flowers and glory to his family. It is a blessing to be mediocre and incompetent to squander and enjoy.But if it is really mediocre and incompetent, I am afraid that there will be no bones left.

The Wei family understands this truth, and the emperor understands it too. This is also an important reason why the emperor agreed to Luzhu's request, not just to throw the mother and son who are obstructing his eyes far away.As for Wei Yan, he also understood, and it was because he also understood that he felt so uncomfortable.

"Stupid child." No matter how old the son is, he is still a child in front of his mother. Liu couldn't help but come up with the method of comforting the son for many years, stroking the son's head and comforting him slowly, trying not to let his Feeling so down.

After an unknown amount of time, Wei Yan, who regained his senses, gradually felt embarrassed. He raised his head from his mother's lap, stood up and sat on the lower head of Mrs. Liu.

Seeing that he had calmed down, Mrs. Liu ordered the maid to change the tea again, then sent everyone out and asked about something.

"Has Yan'er heard what His Majesty plans to do with that Yan Yucheng?"

Wei Yan was drinking tea, and raised his head in astonishment, wondering why his mother was interested in Yan Yucheng.Even if she had an impression at the church meeting, it wouldn't make her old man worry about it.

In fact, Yan Yucheng has had a hard time living in the palace during this period. The emperor has used the four characters of moodiness to the fullest recently. If it were not for Wei Yan's protection, he might have died long ago.

Even so, he still insisted on refusing to leave the palace, and the emperor refused to let him go, just playing with him like a cat playing with a mouse, giving him some hope, but not letting him succeed. The commotion was so lively that it really gave Wei Yan a headache.

"Your Majesty, he..." Wei Yan didn't know how to describe the current situation. He was very worried that when he was not in the palace, someone's petty flattery would make His Majesty lose control. It is the most serious consequence.

"If it's possible, how about getting him out of the palace?" Seeing her son's unhesitating expression, Liu Shi really didn't want to open his mouth to embarrass his son.

The strictness of the forbidden palace does not mean that people can come and leave whenever they want, not to mention that he is dedicated to the emperor. Letting his son figure out a way is forcing him to beg the emperor?Just in order to rescue Yan Yucheng, someone tried to entrust countless connections to come to this mansion, even if it was to embarrass his son, Liu Shi still had no choice but to speak up.

"What is this Yan Yucheng's identity?" Wei Yan did not believe that an actor in the Yunxi Troupe could ask Mrs. Wei's words to help him for no reason.Even if he has been popular in countless halls of wealthy families, he does not have such qualifications, and there must be a very secret reason for it.

"On the Shangyuan Festival more than ten years ago, Mrs. Xiao in Anyang accidentally lost a young child. Since that day, Mrs. Xiao has been in tears. After years of investigation, Mrs. Xiao finally found clues in Beijing, but found them One step too late."

"Anyang Xiaoshi..." Wei Yan heard the words, the teacup in his hand was not supported for a while, and fell on the table with a bang, and shattered into four petals. He was stunned for a long time before he found his tongue, "My child understands gone."
