Yan Yujin, who was described as the happiest by King Yu, was actually not as relaxed and calm as he appeared to be. The noble boy, who ran through the Jinling market with a splendid robe and a horse with a beautiful saddle, just accepted a task from his father not long ago. Although there is no danger, it is not an easy task to complete.
Yan Yujin had been aware of the fact that Yan Que began to re-involve in the DPRK, but it was confirmed from his father that it was on New Year's Eve this year. After the ancestral worship in the ancestral hall that night, the father and son returned to the warm small room, drank around the fireplace, and talked for nearly a night.
When Yan Que was young, Yan Yujin only heard one thing from Mei Changsu. This time, listening to the parties themselves recalling the past has another meaning. In the past years of Yan Que, there were dripping pride, scolding Fang Chief, strong feelings, tragic wounds, so many people who need to be missed, and so many unforgettable things. After more than ten years of depression and decadence, he still can't change his passionate and passionate nature. He raised his head and sipped his cups and murmured. Aged appearance.
Yan Yujin felt that he liked such a father, a living father with vivid emotions.
"Yu'er," Yan Que stroked his son's shoulder and looked directly into his eyes, "Because my father doesn't like party disputes, it's too ugly, it will eat up too much beauty; I don't like Mei Changsu either, he is too Wei Wei is unpredictable, so I was only willing to promise to do limited things for him before. But this time, I decided to do my best to help him, no matter what the price, because of this decision by him and King Jing … It really shocked me. I knew it was a trap, a trap, and the pros and cons were so obvious, but I still wanted to save it. What I did was just the love and justice of the past... I haven’t seen such a stupid, yet so People with courage. If I don't help them this time, how can I have the face to meet the old friend of Quanxia in the future? Yuer, can you understand the thought of being a father?"
"I understand." Yan Yujin put away Su Ri's escaping expression, his eyes under the fire of Xiongxiong were particularly deep, "Dad, don't worry, this child is a descendant of the Yan family, and understands what loyalty is and what is filial piety. Regarding the current state of affairs, the boy's opinion is actually the same as that of his father, but I don't know Prince Jing very well... However, since both father and brother Su are willing to use him, he must have something special."
"King Jing has been by King Qi's side since he was a child, and he has inherited from King Qi in dealing with people and governing the country. I still have confidence in him. However, his temperament is not quite like his brother, he is more determined and stubborn. It's a little less dashing. You're young, I'm afraid you can't remember King Qi... Jing Yu... very much like his mother... "
Regarding the madness in his youth and the affection between himself and Concubine Chen, Yan Que said very vaguely when he recalled the old things. But Yan Yujin has a smart mind and has already realized it. At this time, he looked at his sinking father, and the feeling in his heart was a little complicated, and he couldn't tell whether it was emotion or confusion.
Jing Yu... Yujin... Was the connection between these two names a coincidence or was someone subconscious? Yan Yujin didn't ask, but as a child who cared deeply about his father, he couldn't help it. Another question was asked.
"Father, what about me? Am I also like my mother?"
"You..." Yan Que returned to his senses and looked at his son with a loving look in his eyes, "You are like me, like when I was young. However, when you reach my age, I hope you will not be like me now. it is good."
"Father is very good now, his heart is not cold, and people are not old, what's wrong?"
"You child has a sweet mouth." Yan Que laughed and filled his son with another glass of wine.
"Actually, I haven't forgotten all about the past. Uncle Lin, Concubine Chen, and King Qi, I remember a little bit." Yan Yujin raised his chin and recalled, "King Qi is very good to us children, what's the matter? When I asked him questions, he always answered very clearly. When he took us out for riding and shooting, he took care of us very well. Unlike Brother Lin Shu, he became impatient after a while. He was caught on horseback, threw it into the car and asked Mammy to take care of it, and then ran to the front first... I remember this most clearly!"
Yan Que couldn't help but smile, but the smile faded quickly, "Xiaoshu... ah, the most unfortunate thing is him..."
Seeing that his father was starting to feel sad again, Yan Yujin hurriedly said, "Dad, how exactly did Brother Su want you to help him, did you tell me?"
"I talked about it. My part is mainly to lead Xia Jiang out on the same day, and secretly contact courtiers to excuse King Jing after the incident. It is not difficult to do."
What Yan Que said is simple, but it is not easy to know as long as you think about it carefully, especially the latter matter, which requires more precise judgment and strict control in proportion. A slight deviation will be counterproductive.
"Father, are you sure?"
"It's up to people." Yan Que's face burst into arrogance, "Father has been watching the court situation coldly for so many years, this judgment is still accurate."
"Is there anything you can ask the child to help you with??"
"Mei Changsu said he wanted to ask you for help, but he asked me to ask you first. If you don't want to, don't force it."
Yan Yujin smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Su, it's already like this, how could I be unwilling. What the hell is going on?"
"He didn't say, I have to meet him again, and then I'll ask." Yan Que squeezed his son's shoulder and said, "Mei Changsu promised not to let you do anything dangerous, and neither will I. will make you risky."
"Dad, it's okay..."
"You think it's okay, Dad thinks it's okay. Be obedient. Over the years, Dad has wronged you very much."
Yan Yujin was not used to such a warm father, his nose was a little sour, he raised his head with a glass of wine, and suppressed the churning in his chest.
That night, the father and son drank a whole jar and a half of wine before they fell down. It was the first time that they both discovered that the other party's drinking was so good. This intoxication made him three poles in the sun. When he woke up, he found a handsome and indifferent young man squatting in front of them and staring at them. As soon as they opened their eyes, they stuffed a letter and said loudly, "Burn it!" just disappeared.
Although he was still drunk, Yan Que was finally sober enough. He did not burn the letter directly according to the simple instructions of the young man, but opened it and read it.
It was because of this letter that on the fourth day of the first day, Yan Yujin rode his horse across the streets of Jinling, went to visit his friends in a swaggering manner, and finally arrived in front of Ji Wangfu.
The uncle Ji Wang, who is known for his straightforward temperament and good wine skills, is Yan Yujin's new year's acquaintance. When he sees this little friend, he is overjoyed. All the musicians and singers who were trained were called out to perform.
But even though he was warm and sincere, Yan Yujin seemed to be a little absent-minded just after the three rounds of drinking. Just out of politeness, he even made an expression of attentive admiration, but unfortunately his eyes were long gone.
"Your ears, you just let Miaoyinfang support Diao." Ji Wang said angrily, "Of course you don't look down on these superficial toys in my house."
"My lord, don't just talk about me, don't you do the same yourself?" Yan Yujin waved his hand indifferently, "I'm afraid it's not me who plays the violin of the most maze feather girl?"
"Alas," Ji Wang sighed, "it's a pity that a place like Miaoyinfang can be used for bandits..."
"Cut, you also believe this..." Yan Yujin just rushed out, but he seemed to realize something immediately, swallowed it halfway down the waist, and raised a toast.
King Ji immediately understood, and quietly accompanied him for two more drinks, then sent his servants back, moved to Yan Yujin's side, and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean, Miaoyinfang has no gangsters at all. thing?"
"What gangster?" Yan Yujin pouted, "Which gangster has a name? Does the Ministry of Justice have the relevant case file? Who is the accuser? Is there any evidence? It's nothing at all."
"Since it's an injustice, why did the people in Miaoyinfang avoid the crime and escape in advance?"
"It's very simple. Tong bandits are wronged, but it's true that they offend people. If you offend someone who can't be offended, don't you run away and wait to die?"
King Ji suddenly became angry and said angrily: "Who is so arrogant at the feet of the emperor?"
Yan Yujin glanced at him, lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, don't you know who was going to arrest people that day?"
"I've heard of this, it's not the Ministry of Punishment, it's Dali Temple..." King Ji suddenly understood when he said this. Zhu Yue, the chief of Dali Temple, is the brother-in-law of King Yu, and has always been known for his lust. Wanting to occupy Gong Yu is not a bizarre thing.
"Now you understand, Gong Yu has no choice. She just wants to avoid this moment and see if there is any other way out."
King Ji raised his brows and suddenly pointed at Yan Yujin and smiled strangely.
"What's wrong with your lord?"
"What did Miss Gong Yu think, how do you know?" King Ji said with a wicked smile, "Tell me, did you hide her?"
"I, I, where do I have?" Yan Yujin was startled, and couldn't help but stutter, "Your Highness, please don't talk nonsense..."
"I'm guilty of a guilty conscience," Ji Wang laughed, chasing after him, "Xiao Yujin, what's the problem with telling me the truth? I'm also worried about Miss Gong Yu, is she okay?"
Yan Yujin looked at him for a long time, before letting go of his shoulders and saying, "It wasn't me who hid her, it was she who got into trouble after escaping and sent someone to ask me for help, I just helped a little bit. Now she is not bad, she has practiced a new song, and I even listened to it when I sent it to her a few years ago."
King Ji was also a music fan, when he heard that Miss Gong Yu had a new song, he couldn't help but salivate, grabbed Yan Yujin's arm and said, "You have to take me there, I also have old friends with Miss Gong Yu, How can she not greet her when she is in trouble?"
"But… "
"Don't worry, what's there to be afraid of, isn't it Zhu Yue? I don't care about that kid, and King Yu won't turn his back on me for this, anyway, I'm also his elder."
"Actually..." Yan Yujin said in a long voice, "It's okay to take you there, but Miss Gong Yu is a little disheartened, I'm afraid she won't want to see more of you nobles."
"Am I the same as those people?" Ji Wang patted the table and said, "If you say that, I still have to go, let's go, let's go now!"
"How can anyone be in such a hurry?" Yan Yujin laughed, "Don't look at what time it is now? Well, I can't beat you anyway, so I'll be scolded by the lady Gong, and I'll take you for a walk tomorrow."
"That's about it. When is tomorrow?"
"It's late in the afternoon, I'm going to accompany my father out the door in the morning."
"It's really filial to my son." Ji Wang laughed, "Okay, it's not time to do it, you can't break your promise."
"If I break my promise, won't you call me?" Yan Yujin stretched his waist and said, "Don't wear the royal clothes tomorrow, we have to go quietly."
"I know." King Ji responded repeatedly, and ordered fresh dishes to be re-arranged. He dragged the guest who was about to leave and drank for more than half an hour. Seeing that it was dark, he let him go out.
At this time, the night wind was blowing, and there was some turbid fishy smell in the air, indicating that tomorrow will not be a sunny day. Yan Yujin put on the top pocket of his cloak and turned over on his horse.
Surrounded by the snow-white fox fur, the always bright face was slightly serious.
"Take King Ji to the north branch palace Yu of Dengjia Lane around the afternoon of the fifth day." This is what Mei Changsu asked Yan Yujin to do. He implemented it seriously and thought about it carefully.
But at that time, he hadn't been able to figure out what the reason Mei Changsu wanted him to do in the whole plan.
