Anecdotes of Tianyuan: The Long Night is Young

Chapter 174 Nowhere Chapter Desolate

No one dared to ask Zhao Xiyan why he was so hostile that day, and after a while, Zhao Xiyan returned to his former gentleness as jade.Zhao Xiyan pretended that nothing happened, but his attitude towards Wu Qingyao became more indifferent. Each of these women was smarter than the other, and they also pretended that nothing happened.The group happily walked for three days and arrived at Qiushui Mountain Villa. The owner of Qiushui Mountain Villa and his family arrived outside the city gate early to greet them.Zhao Xiyan received the big gift from Qiushui Villa in front of everyone, and first helped the current Patriarch to get up, but didn't ask anyone else to get up.Zhao Xiyan's intention is obvious, to show kindness is also to show power, even though you are a family of three dynasties and have gone through more than 20 generations of emperors, the Zhao family is still in charge of the world today.Zhao Xiyan and his party went to Qiushui Villa, and the three floors of the villa were surrounded by three floors.Qiushui Villa was built according to the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River, and it was built on the mountain, which is quite independent of the world.Qiushui Mountain Villa has been vacant for several years, because the first emperor was afraid and hid.It wasn't until Zhao Xiyan ascended the throne that they returned to their ancestral villa.The current owner of Qiushui Villa is Han Qiuyi's only brother. He is a middle-aged man with a long beard and looks like a great Confucian.Zhuangzhu Han gave Zhao Xiyan the largest courtyard in Qiushui Villa as a residence, and Zhao Xiyan was not polite, and lived in with his concubines and children.

In the evening, the owner of Han Zhuang helped Zhao Xiyan clean up the dust, and called Qicheng Qiushui Villa to call for long live.Zhao Xiyan was not confused, and was very happy to see such a scene. He knew that the owner of Han Zhuang should understand that the purpose of his trip was not pure, it was a deliberate expression of his submission.Zhao Xiyan stood on a high place and watched the crowd of people express their surrender to him, but he just said something flat.Zhao Xiyan looked at Zhuangzhu Han's eyes very meaningfully. He wanted to see from his eyes whether he really surrendered to him, or regretted that it was not Zhao Xiyan who was standing here today.Before he sat on the throne, even if he was allowed to, he was unwilling to sit on it.But now that he sits on it, he is just like his father, who can't allow others to think about his throne.It's not because of how attached he is to the imperial power, but because he has too many people to protect, he can't fall from the throne.Ever since Zhao Xiyan took over the imperial decree of conferring the crown prince from Emperor Shaoyuan, he knew that he could only be tied to the throne for the rest of his life. If he fell, he would also fall into the abyss with all the people he cherished, and be smashed to pieces.During the dinner, Zhao Xiyan sat in a high position, half sincere and half tentative, and exchanged cups with the elders of Qiushui Villa.He is easy-going and does not put on the airs of the emperor, but he has never surrendered his status.Seeing Yan Fengjun at the side, he just smiled without revealing it, feeling relieved that our family has a husband who has just grown up.Zhuangzhu Han also has a group of wives and concubines, ten sons and sixteen daughters, including six daughters who have not left the cabinet. They are extraordinarily well-dressed tonight and always appear in front of Zhao Xiyan.Zhao Xiyan just smiled but didn't show it, he was indifferent.

After the dinner party was over, Zhao Xiyan went back to his room to take a shower and change into white clothes.First took Qichen away from Ulan Rongruo, and then went to Han Qiuyi's yard.Han Qiuyi took Zhao Linghan, Zhao Xiyan took Zhao Qichen, and the four went straight to the back mountain.On the brightly lit back mountain, Zhao Xiyan could see the luxurious tomb from a distance.That tomb is a bit shabby for the royal family, but it is top-notch for the common people.Looking at the tomb, Zhao Xiyan felt infinitely desolate.He and Zhao Xiyan have very different temperaments, but they grew up together since childhood. Among so many brothers, the two of them have the best relationship.He still remembered that Thirteen had been naughty since he was a child, and he often made mistakes and was punished for him.Once Shisan broke Taifu's ruler, and was sued by Taifu Yi to the father, and he took the punishment for Shisan himself.The father punished himself to go to Fengtian Hall to kneel in front of his ancestors and think about it, but Thirteen had to kneel together, saying that it was his fault, how could his brother be punished.The two knelt in Fengtian Hall all day without drinking or eating. The next morning they helped each other out together, and laughed at each other's uselessness.In the 20th year of Shaoyuan, when Thirteen turned sixteen, he kept saying that he was going to marry the princess.But before the concubine has time to choose, you, the county king, are no longer here.Zhao Xiyan recalled that year when he was in the dungeon, pulling on the door and calling out "Brother, save me".But back then, he was really too weak, and he watched Shisan die helplessly.The prince's people forcibly poured that cup of poisoned wine, and he didn't even have a chance to take it away.

Zhao Xiyan touched the cold tombstone, his eyes were moist.Didn't you say that you want to be an invincible hero like your ancestors?Now that my brother is the emperor, if you like to make you a generalissimo, okay?Zhao Xiyan touched the tombstone, and the memories of his youth flooded in like a flood, and everything seemed as if it had been a long time ago.Han Qiuyi hadn't seen her son for a long time, her eyes were already red, but she couldn't cry anymore.Xu Shi has been crying for ten years, but he has no tears left.Seeing that her father was sad, Qi Chen gently tugged at Zhao Xiyan's sleeve, pulling Zhao Xiyan back from her thoughts.Zhao Xiyan quickly collected his emotions, and Han Niangniang brought Zhao Xiyan's orphans to worship Zhao Xiyan.Zhao Xiyan asked Qichen to give Zhao Xiyan three solid heads. Qichen would never be able to recognize his biological father forever, so this was considered filial piety.Zhao Linghan didn't have the slightest impression of this biological father, and he had never heard of it before entering the palace, so he didn't have any feelings at all, he just kowtowed along blankly.After the four people worshiped, Zhao Xiyan asked Han Qiuyi to take the two children back, and he stayed to talk to Shisan himself.

Zhao Xiyan held a pot of Huadiao, Zhao Xiyan's favorite in the past, in his hand, took two cups, and people and ghosts drank from each other.Zhao Xiyan sat on the ground, sitting in front of Zhao Xiyan's tombstone.

"The moonlight tonight is very good, but it's a waning moon. Thirteen, ten years later, my brother finally came to see you. There are many things in the past, so you can't come. Don't blame me. If it's not for my brother, I'm afraid it's our brothers Now we have to meet in the underworld."

Zhao Xiyan picked up the jug and filled two glasses of wine, spilled one on the tombstone, and poured the other into his stomach.

"This is your favorite carved flower. Have you drank it yet? This time I knew I was coming to worship you, so I found it specially. It is much better than the ones you stole from the father's wine cellar. Have you ever drank it?"

"Let's talk about you, why are you so careless? The gun hits the head of the bird, but you don't know how to avoid the limelight and hit the muzzle of the gun. It was like this when you were a child, and you are still like this when you grow up. I am 26 this year, and you are still [-] Unexpectedly, I became the ninth emperor of Daqi. Do you think my father is old-fashioned, how can he hand over the throne to a person who dreamed of traveling the world with a sword and becoming a ranger since he was a child."

Zhao Xiyan filled two more glasses of wine, and poured it down his throat first, and some of the wine spilled on his chin, so he didn't care about it.Zhao Xiyan couldn't get used to strong alcohol like Hua Diao, so he choked hard, coughing until his face turned red.

"Didn't you say that you like the eldest daughter of Aunt Shengping's family? Let me tell you, it's a good thing you didn't marry her. She is a fierce wife, and she teaches her husband-in-law fiercely all day long. Don't let her husband-in-law take a concubine. Which girl does that husband-in-law of hers look at more, and she will slap her indiscriminately for everything she can offend, and call her unwifely, do you think it's funny?"

"My brother is now living the same life as my father used to. He is buried in the pile of memorials every day, and he can't even see his head. Don't mention playing polo or going out to swim in the lake to see girls. Saying that you like beautiful women so much, how can you be alone? Is it lonely after going to such a far place? How are you doing now? Did you fall in love with a little beauty somewhere? Now that I am the emperor, I have married many... many concubines, and had many children. Especially A pair of daughters, they are very beautiful. The eldest daughter does not look like me, she looks like your sister Ning, and the younger daughter looks like me, she looks like me, will she not look good when she grows up? Probably not, she Mother was born beautiful."

Zhao Xiyan threw the wine glass, picked up the pot and poured it into his mouth. He drank a big pot hard, and his face flushed after drinking.

"Do you know that you also have a pair of children, and your daughter looks like you. I named her Linghan, and I didn't ask for your opinion, so don't be angry. You really have no conscience, beat me up I have blamed you so much, and I always expect you to know how to take care of your brother when you grow up. Now, now, I have to take care of you, clean up your grievances, raise women, sons, and daughters for you. Now even your mother and brother have to take care of you."

"You were the father's favorite son, because you are more like him than the prince. Even if the father does not pass the throne to the prince, he should give it to you, so I don't have to suffer so much. Do you remember? My brother used to say However, I wish to have one person’s heart never leave. I hope to be an idle prince in the future, traveling around the rivers and mountains, and live a happy life. You also promised me that you will protect me and not let the prince bully me. You, you don’t speak well Forget it."

"Hey, how can I have the face to blame you for not counting your words? I don't count my words either. It is said that people have sorrows and joys, and the moon has cloudy and sunny waxes and wanes. How can everything come true?"

Zhao Xiyan picked up the jug and poured a lot on the tombstone, and took another sip.

"Your romantic debt, you patted your ass and left, but now you want me to wipe your ass. I can help you with other things, but this romantic debt, brother can't help you. You bastard, how can I help you?" Can you coax those poor girls at will? How can I be responsible for you if you stole their hearts and bodies? I don’t read good sage books, but I prefer to read some folk tales. What kind of rich lady and poor scholar or powerful young master and poor girl, you looked at it seriously and even played a game."

"The woman you're looking for is so fierce that she dared to quarrel with me. I didn't feel sorry for her, but started a big fire at me. If you are alive in heaven, it's because my brother has done so much for you For my sake, bless your sisters-in-law, nephews and nieces, happy and healthy every day."

Zhao Xiyan drank the last of the wine in the jug and wet the collar on his chest. He didn't know if his eyes were red accidentally after drinking, or if he really wanted to cry.

"It's all backfired. I'm too tired. I'm too tired. It's all your fault, not you. Why did my brother do this?"

"You wait for me. If I chase after decades, I have to beat you hard to relieve my hatred! If you dare to hide, I will grab you and beat you in the face, to see if you can still use this face to trick the little girl." girl."

"Brother is gone, if you don't go back late at night, you, sister Ning, should be worried. Next time, brother will take you back to Beijing, and have a look at the prosperity of the capital, and have another drink. Just don't drink Huadiao, it's too strong, How about I bring some sweet-scented osmanthus wine made by your sister Ning? This is brewed by your sister Ning alone for her brother, you can only allow one pot, and don’t have any more, because they are all mine. "

Holding the jug, Zhao Xiyan staggered towards the brightest place, where someone was waiting for him.Zhao Xiyan stood at the junction of darkness and light, raised his head, and opened his hazy drunken eyes.There are few stars tonight, the breeze is blowing, and there is a hint of coolness, which is really comfortable.Zhao Xiyan turned around to look at the tombstone, as if he saw Zhao Xiyan on a horse waving to him, calling for his brother loudly.Zhao Xiyan smiled, said three words, threw the jug in the direction of the tombstone, and ran back without looking back.

"Son of a bitch!"

A curse was scattered in the wind, as if it had drifted far away, wanting to reach the ears of the old man who couldn't come back.Zhao Xiyan is a jerk to women, but to Zhao Xiyan he is a good brother.
