Life encounters, misfortunes and blessings.
The rebellion of Jingwang turned upside down overnight, and disappeared within ten days. Emperor Chongzhao was hit repeatedly and finally fell ill. The young emperor grandson was ordered in danger. Under the secret promotion of Ruan Feiyu, the Great Chu Dynasty began. A short and **** cleansing.
The prime minister, Qin Mingde, was originally a member of the Southern Confucian line, so he naturally fully supported; Cheng Wang Chuyun led the troops to quell the chaos and trace the remnants of the chaos to show that he had no intention of being a dominant position; Wang Chuyu suppressed the people headed by Situ The big family, cleverly made the first bird in this storm.
Impeach Panni, follow the vines, go along with the crimes... one after another memorials were presented, and one order after another was issued. Each family was copied, and one person fell to the ground.
The emperor grandson under the age of sixteen, after two years of tolerance, finally no longer tolerated, showing off his sharp edge and showing all his minions.
However, none of these have anything to do with Chu Yao.
Sky Prison, this place he only knows the name and does not know the truth, now finally came here as a guest. No one here knows who this child is and why he was imprisoned at a young age. The jailer didn’t dare to say anything when he was ordered, and kept him in a cell alone. Apart from the daily delivery of water and food, he did not say anything to him. words.
Within ten days, the jail became very lively, people kept coming in, and people going out one after another, some people swearing and cursing day and night, some people were biting frantically, and the jailers took their whips and threw them at the prisoners. Gradually, there were deaths and injuries, blood, rot, stinking... all kinds of smells mixed with the various forms of sentient beings that Chu Yao had never seen before, like a scourge, rushing through the city gate carefully protected by the princess in his lifetime. Rampant and turbulent, overwhelming all the softness and beauty once believed in.
Of course the knowing jailer didn't dare to beat him, but didn't care about him. Chu Yao was sitting on the moldy and damp hay, with his back against the cold brick wall. Rats rushed around, but he was more pitiful than these rats.
"Your Majesty! I want to see Your Majesty!"
"Bold! This official is Yushi doctor, who of you dare...Ah!"
"It's the prince who wants to rebel! We are just following orders and begging His Royal Highness Taisun for mercy!"
"The little one knows wrong, I, I know who is still in the party, you let me out, I personally go to take people to atone for my sins!"
"..."
Chu Yao covered his ears with both hands, but his voice was still so clear.
In ten days, he lost a lot of weight, his body was dirty and smelly, and his hands and feet were scars from rubbing on the rough ground. From the beginning, clutching the iron chain of the door and crying loudly, until now there is no word. Chu Yao hasn't said a word for three days, didn't eat a bite of food, and was as quiet as losing his soul.
Chu Yao felt that he had a lot of things he didn't understand, and he had a lot of things to think about, but he knew nothing, naturally he couldn't remember, and even now he has no thoughts to think about it.
People can say beautiful things, such as calm and steady, but when things come, who can really think twice?
He wanted to know what happened, but he instinctively didn't dare to think about it. He looked around with open eyes, his eyes filled with disgusting and sad faces, and the person he wanted to see never came.
The person Chu Yao wants to meet is in Donglai Pavilion.
This is the study room of Emperor Chongzhao. Now it belongs to the emperor Chuxun, who is on the verge of danger. At this time, the palace people in the Donglai Pavilion are retreated, and even Ruan Feiyu, who was in the discussion, is also leaving when Gu Xiao enters. , Only glanced at a meaningful look when passing by.
Chu Xun put down the memorials, dressed in a costume with a golden crown of hair and hair, it gave people a very different feeling from the expensive and mild-tempered boy before, with more prestige that people would not dare to look at.
Gu Xiao walked closer without saying a word, opened his hem and knelt on the ground.
He hasn’t been bent a few times since he was young, and there are very few kneelings. Except for the spiritual position of the master and the master, there are only more than 20 lives in Baihua Village worth his knees, but now he has nothing to say. , Kneeling in front of Chu Xun.
Chu Xun squeezed the memorial hand tightly, covering the flashing look in his eyes: "Master, what do you mean? The wind is deep in the night, and your injury is not healed, so you should get up soon." /
Gu Xiao did not get up, and bowed his hands in salute: "His Royal Highness, Thousand Years Old."
"You and me, masters and apprentices, now there are no outsiders, why these vain courtesies?" Chu Xun put down the memorial, "Does the master think Xun'er is not qualified to be your apprentice if he sits in this position?"
Gu Xiao raised his eyes: "Since your Royal Highness still recognizes me as a master, then...can you tell me about the younger brother Wang?"
Chu Xun was silent suddenly, and Gu Xiaochang couldn't kneel down.
After a long while, Chu Xun sighed: "Master, you have always understood everything well, why bother me now?"
"The person who does not know is not guilty." Gu Xiao's voice was hoarse, "Ayao is still young, and the princess is hiding everything, he doesn't know anything."
"Queen Princess Tang Zhiyin, my Auntie of the Four Emperors... Oh, she is indeed a good method. She destroyed most of the evidence and saved most of the old ministry. She also found such a way out for her son, but..." Chu Xun raised his eyes and said in a tone. Turning cold, "Why should I let go of people who hate me as she wishes?"
Gu Xiao lowered her eyelids.
Chu Xun left the imperial case, walked in front of Gu Xiao personally, squatted down and pointed at his injured abdomen, and said: "Ten days ago, if the master hadn't blocked me, this knife should have been stabbed into me. My heart...He doesn't know that Jing Wang is conspiring to rebel, but he knows that we forced his parents to death. This hatred is as deep as a sea of blood. I am afraid that if he survives one day, he will not let us go."
After a pause, Chu Xun said again: "Or, Master, go and tell him the truth. If Ayao can figure it out, naturally, my brother will not necessarily kill him."
"His Royal Highness, if Ayao knows everything now, even if you let him go, others will not." Gu Xiao's lips were slowly pursed, "In this way, you did give him a way out, but There are a lot of people vying to send him to death."
Chu Xun was not irritated by his calculations, and stood up and said: "Since the master understands this, why bother in vain?"
Gu Xiao was silent for a moment, then looked up and said: "For His Royal Highness, Ayao’s life and death are nothing more than a single generation of cinnabar. The Jingwang rebellion ended shortly. Now that the first evil has been laid down, Yu Dang is still deeply buried. At the same time, the situation is tense, and the follow-up can only be carried out slowly. At this juncture, rather than pursuing the situation to expand the situation, Your Royal Highness should be more inclined to how to suppress this imperial custody. It is better to know that it is better to take a long-term plan than to start a snake."
"Master’s opinion coincides with Master Ruan." Chu Xun lowered his eyes, "However, taking Ayao into the sky prison was meant by the emperor's grandfather. I cannot be here for someone who wants to kill me. Time to anger the saints and increase the trouble."
"Your Majesty is seriously ill. Half of the jade seal has fallen into the hands of His Royal Highness. As long as you are willing to open the net, he will have a way to survive."
Gu Xiao leaned down, resting her forehead on the back of her hand, and did not get up for a long time.
Chu Xun's eyes were red at this moment.
He looked at Gu Xiao’s low-profile figure, and met three years ago. This young but indomitable person is like a master in Chu Xun’s heart. Many times Chu Xun felt that he could not survive. , Will remember the determined eyes when Gu Xiao took him off the cliff that year.
Without this person, Chu Xun might have died.
He thought that Gu Xiao could always keep his spine straight and live fearlessly, but he didn't expect that this person would have weaknesses and reluctance, and would kneel and bow his head for others.
"Master..." Chu Xun bent over and reached out to help him, but he couldn't move.
"For public and private, I know that your Highness is embarrassed. This time I am unsympathetic. I will return it ten times in the coming day. Please... Let Ayao go!"
"..."
"Your Highness, I beg you, let him go."
"..."
The hot liquid poured out from the eye sockets, and was wiped clean with one hand. Chu Xun looked at Gu Xiao firmly, and after a while, he finally spoke: "Yes."
Gu Xiao raised his head, Chu Xun personally helped him up, and said word by word: "Master, I will answer you this time, but there are two conditions, and you have to promise me."
"His Royal Highness, please speak."
Chu Xun took a deep breath: "First, I want to expel him from Tianjing, and I cannot return without authorization in this life."
"Good."
"Second... I want you to personally abolish his martial arts, and then give him the secret medicine in the palace."
Gu Xiao twisted her eyebrows.
Chu Xun clenched his fists: "Master, don't blame me for being cruel. It is the limit to let his life go, but he has a clear ear and a hatred. I can't rest assured in public or private... I promise you, even if he succeeds. If you are a dumb fool, I will also make him rich and safe throughout his life."
"But if you do this, how is it different from killing him?" Gu Xiao refused to give in on this point. "He is still young now, if he is disabled, how should he deal with himself in the future? By now he is no longer a prince The emperor has nothing, if he doesn’t even have that meager martial arts, how can you let him settle down in the market?"
Chu Xun finally flew his sleeves angrily: "Well, Master, you have planned well for him, but have you ever thought about my position? He has martial arts skills, and has no disability or mental impairment. If he reveals his identity in the future, colludes The remnants of the rebellion of the chaos are coming back, what should I do? People are never as good as heaven. This time, people and help will suppress a rebellion. Then who will help me?"
Gu Xiao didn’t say a word, but Chu Xun’s grievances, which had been suppressed for many years, seemed to have found a catharsis. With a strong wave, the red sandalwood frame fell over, and the precious porcelain and bronzes smashed to the ground. It became a time that I can't fight back again.
"My father was killed by his father and king, and my mother was so frightened that he lived in the Buddhist hall, leaving me alone to face the palace of Longtan Tiger Den. I have never tasted the favor of my parents since childhood, and he is still in front of my parents. Enjoy the joy of family, carefree makes me envious! His father deceived me for ten years. I treated A Yao like brothers, and regarded his parents as long as relatives, but almost died outside the palace because of his calculations. Caused disaster in northern Xinjiang...Yes, Ayao is indeed innocent when he is young and ignorant. Should I deserve to suffer these sufferings as I deserve it? Why did I become what I am now? Why should I spare the enemy's son?
"Master, you saved my life back then, and later you accepted us as disciples. Even though I knew that I had a whimsical idea, I still spare no effort to teach. I respect you and thank you in my heart, but you always consider him more than me. Many, why does he always live better than me?!"
Gu Xiao raised her head and watched Chu Xun standing on the table with her hands in her hands. Her body trembled because of his emotional excitement. Even his breathing and heartbeat were disturbed. His eyes were flushed, and his face remained flush. Smiling, but uglier than crying.
Chu Xun murmured: "Master, what am I...what is worse than him?"
Gu Xiao looked at the memorials scattered on the ground. In addition to the dense lines of text, there were also a line of shocking cinnabar pen traces. It can be seen that this fifteen-year-old emperor grandson is really trying to be a prince. , Will become a wise emperor in the future.
Manchu civil and military gazes all fell on him, Chu Xun has been invincible in the past ten days, but who knows that he will cry and be lost behind others?
They all say "a man sheds blood and does not shed tears", but who under the world came to this world didn't start with tears?
Gu Xiao sighed, as if she was ten years old at this moment.
He finally stood up, wrapped his hands around the young man who was only half a head shorter than himself, and unskilledly pressed him on his shoulders, patted the back of the opponent, and said: "When my master was alive, he often Saying "Ning Que Wu Lian", so she has only one apprentice like me in this life... Therefore, I accept you as apprentices out of my sincerity and not only because of the other relationship. In this lifetime, there will only be two of you disciples, no third People."
After a pause, he lightened his tone: "However, I am really biased. I can't achieve a perfect balance between you and him, not only because of his status or his age, but also because of Ayao. For me, it’s more important than sex, but...Xun'er, I know that you are in your place now, and there are many things that are not easy. I only ask you this time, in the next ten years, I will die for you From now on, regardless of life and death, no name or surname, death with meager power, until you become a good emperor on your own."
The hands that Chu Xun wanted to push away froze in midair.
For a long time, he muttered: "If I still don't want to, Master... will you leave Tianjing and never help me again?"
Gu Xiao shook his head: "If you don't want to, I won't regret what I said, and help you protect the court and family for ten years, and then..."
"Then what?"
"Then, I went to Ayao and said, "I'm sorry," and I will reincarnate after completing what I owe him. Eighteen years later, I will be a good man again." Gu Xiao released his hand and stepped back two steps, eyebrows crooked , "At that time, Ayao and I will be young, and you will stand at the end of the new year. Maybe you will have to join the people to wish your Majesty a longevity during the holidays."
Chu Xun's nose sore, he closed his eyes, and the heavens were fighting in his heart. Gu Xiao didn't force him again this time, but waited for an answer with bated breath.
When the tears on Chu Xun's face dried up, Gu Xiao heard the inaudible sentence: "I promise you."
A token fell in Gu Xiao’s arms, and Chu Xun turned his back, his voice trembling slightly: “Tonight, I will allow you to see him again, and then I will send someone to send him away. 'Chu Yao'...for ten years, I can't guarantee that I won't move him for the rest of my life, but I will let him live for ten years. When he grows up, he will be independent of life, death, misfortune and happiness, and has nothing to do with me."
After a pause, Chu Xun said quietly: "Master, remember what you said."
"Xu Jun promises, never repent."
Gu Xiao nodded, put away the token and walked out of Donglai Pavilion. Only then did Chu Xun turn around to look at his back, and loosen his tense fingers a little bit.
It has rained for several days in Tianjing, and finally the moonlight is over tonight.
It's a pity that the moonlight is as cold as water.
Gu Xiao walked extremely fast, and went straight to the jail after exiting the gate of the palace, and soon entered this cold and terrifying cell.
It was late at night. Chu Yao had no energy for three days without eating or drinking. Even if he was not drowsy, he was tired. Suddenly he heard the clamor in the cell, and the voices of prisoners cursing suddenly rose. Time failed to suppress even the jailer's whip reprimand.
"Beasts! Beasts that are betrayed!"
"Gu Xiao, you running dog, you must die!"
"I'll be a ghost and I won't let you go!"
"..."
When Chu Yao heard these curses, he didn't know where his strength came from and got up to his feet, staring at the cell door.
Gu Xiao turned a deaf ear to these curses, leaving everyone behind, opening the prison door and walking to Chu Yao.
He looked at the child who had lost his shape within ten days, and whispered: "Ayao..."
Chu Yao didn't move, standing still and staring at him blankly.
Gu Xiao smiled reluctantly and said: "I'll say goodbye to you."
Chu Yao was silent for a moment, and asked: "Life or death?"
This innocent child seems to have consumed all the liveliness and innocence in these ten days. At this time, looking at Gu Xiao's eyes reminded him of the eagle in the night, even though he was young and had no wings. The embryonic form of bone has already been seen in the next.
He squatted down, looked at Chu Yao, reached out to touch the dirty company, and said: "You will leave Tianjing and live a new life..."
Gu Xiao's voice stopped abruptly. Chu Yao bit his right index finger with his head sideways, and exhausted the remaining strength of his whole body, his teeth fell into flesh and blood, and he refused to let go when he tasted blood. Gu Xiao felt that The teeth bit into the bone.
He moved stiffly, gently stroked Chuyao's head with his left hand, and continued: "I know you hate me and Xun'er, but if you can't live well, these have no meaning."
Chu Yao finally let go. His mouth was full of blood, but he was not at all happy. He tugged at the corner of his mouth and didn't cry. He just said: "Master, I don't want to live anymore. Tell me the truth... …Tell me, why is all this… OK?"
"Your mother and concubine told you to keep you alive." Gu Xiao stood up, "How about you know the truth? But there is nothing you can do."
Chu Yao clenched his fists.
Gu Xiao looked down at him: "You hate us beyond reproach, but you also have to know the principle of'teaching as an apprentice first', whether hatred or hatred, you just keep it on me."
"Remembered on you?" Chu Yao raised his head, "Master, I killed you for revenge... is that okay?"
Gu Xiao smiled, looked at the **** tooth mark on his finger, and said: "Okay, this is a mark. I will give you my life in ten years."
Chu Yao's pupils shrank, and then he laughed, heart-piercing and coughing intermittently.
"Give me...Oh, Master, do you still want to lie to me?" Chu Yao's tears were all laughed, his eyes were gloomy, "Gu Xiao, you keep saying that you will give me your life in ten years, but the world Life and death are impermanent. Do you think that you are the king of Yan, who can determine good fortune and good fortune, and you can count it if you say something? You are a running dog of the imperial court, you may die one day, and I don’t know where the bones are left. I should Where can I find you to seek revenge?"
Gu Xiao looked at him silently, until a soft cough came from outside, and the jailer reminded him that it was time.
In the end, the thousands of words he thought didn’t come in handy. Gu Xiao just curled the corner of his mouth, stared into Chu Yao’s eyes, and whispered, “If that day, I’ll be a ghost. Looking for you, I won’t pay you back in this life, or in the next life, but Ayao...Don’t be afraid of ghosts."
After saying this, before Chu Yao returned to his senses, he had already left.
The cell door closed again, and Chu Yao was awakened. He let out a cry like an injured little beast from his throat, and rushed forward, only to hit the hard door rail.
"Master, Master! Come back!"
"..."
"Master! I don't want your life, you come back! I beg you to come back!"
"...
"Who are you? I'm not going anywhere! Master! Master!"
"..."
"Gu Xiao——"
The last cry was suddenly raised and stopped abruptly. Gu Xiao had already walked out of the gate of the jail, heard his footsteps, and turned back almost stiffly.
Unfortunately, all he saw was the dark aisle.
He had an impulse at this moment, but in the end, he chose to turn around and move on.
When there was no one around, Gu Xiao finally burst into tears.
Suddenly, his ears echoed in his ears on the night when a ten-year-old novice was shocked and unbearable, and he cleared up a paragraph that he had said to him——
"The cold branches fall with dead leaves, and the floating life grinds the light dust; this body looks like a frightening hungry, and the accident is a flutter. For the rest of life, sometimes it is like a bird. If a young bird wants to become a goshawk, it must leave its nest and fly alone and fight the wind and thunder , Ushering in the danger of bright spears and dark arrows, looking back and not seeing the way back. At that time, apart from the pain of thousands of sores and holes, you have to remember the gains and losses of suffering and happiness attached to it, and then flutter the sky over the country to find Let your heart settle down."
