It's bloody when touched.

Yulan could only hug him tightly, hoping that her meager heat could bring him a little warmth. It took a long time for Ye Yichen's breathing to slowly calm down.

Yulan choked and said, "It's so pitiful. You were only six years old at that time!"

Ye Yichen stretched out his hand to wipe away her tears, held her in his arms and comforted her, and then slowly said: "Yes, I am only six years old! So what! I am already much luckier than my uncles and brothers."

"In order to declare that he was in an upright position, Emperor Taizong worked with his advisers to concoct a so-called 'Golden Box Alliance' six months after he took the throne. That is, in the name of my late grandmother, the Empress Dowager Shengren, they falsely claimed that after my grandmother's death,

During the period, she once called Taizu and Taizong brothers to her bedside, saying that the prosperity of the country was entirely due to the eldest king, and asked Taizu to make an oath in front of her bed, that in the event of his death, he would pass the throne to his younger brother!"

Yulan couldn't help but sneer when he heard this. "Emperor Taizong is only ten years younger than Grandpa Taizu. If Taizu lived to be seventy years old, would he still pass the throne to a sixty-year-old man? Is this true?

This covenant should be passed on to the younger King Qin. It is simply ridiculous!" The old King Qin was Ye Fengqi's father, seven years younger than Taizong.

Ye Yichen said: "Emperor Taizong is just trying to justify himself! Who can discerning people not see this?"

"It's just this so-called 'gold box alliance' that caused great harm to the old King of Qin."

Yu Lan already knew something about this period of history. "According to this alliance letter, if Emperor Taizong dies, the first heir to the throne will be the old King of Qin."

Ye Yichen said: "That's right. The old King Qin also saw the danger in this, and returned all power to Emperor Taizong early. He repeatedly wrote letters stating that he had no intentions for the throne. However, Taizong still refused to let him go and ascended the throne.

The next year, he concocted the plan of the Governor-General of Zhili.

In order to reverse the case, the old King of Qin, his eldest son, and his second son were all beheaded. Thanks to the empress at the time, who later begged the empress dowager, the seventeenth younger brother was spared the death penalty. However, he was also demoted to an idle member of the clan.

It was not until he ascended the throne that the title was returned to the seventeenth brother!"

Yulan was shocked to hear that this period of history was either not mentioned at all in Taizong's records, or was not mentioned in detail, which made people dizzy.

"How many of your brothers?" Taizong got rid of the old King of Qin, and one of the obstacles to his own son's accession to the throne was removed. However, there are still Taizu's sons in the way. Because according to etiquette, the more reasonable heir to the throne should be Taizu.

The son of the ancestor, not the son of Taizong.

Ye Yichen said: "After the death of the old King Qin and his family, Taizong began to attack several of my brothers. One after another, the brothers died violently in seclusion. It was pity that none of my more than ten brothers survived. Later.

Even Ye Yiyun, the eldest son whom Taizong was most optimistic about, couldn't stand it anymore. He had many quarrels with Taizong, and Taizong hit him repeatedly, and he finally became delirious."

"And I have taken root in the northwest. I live in the shadow of death every day. Every extra day I live, I feel like I have gained another day..." Only then did Yulan understand his strong heart of steel.

It was probably made at that time.

Yulan was still a little puzzled: "Why did Taizong let you alone?" Taizong's methods didn't look like someone who would cut the grass without eradicating the roots.

Ye Yichen said: "My seventeenth brother and I are alive not because we are lucky, but because we are too young. When Taizong came to the throne, the current emperor was already over thirty years old..." Yulan understood immediately

Well, although Ye Yichen was the son of Taizu, if Taizong died, it would be impossible to support a teenage boy to become the emperor. Because Ye Yichen had no possibility of ascending the throne, his life was saved instead.

"One more thing, it's all thanks to the Queen Mother. If she hadn't been there to persuade Taizong, our brothers would have turned into a handful of loess. So over the years, I have always been very grateful to the Queen Mother!"

"Last point, at the end of Taizong's troubles, there were no successors in the clan. Taizong's family was also withering away. The eldest son was driven crazy. The current emperor was over thirty and could not have a son. There was a rumor in the capital that Taizong killed too many clan members.

, which made heaven so angry and so angry that even God wanted to punish him. Only then did he graciously let us go."

"After that, you will know everything. Taizong passed the throne to the current emperor. And I also grew up in the northwest step by step, until now."

Ye Yichen's tone was calm, but Yulan could imagine how difficult it would be for a former prince whose parents died early and who was feared by the current emperor to live in such a military camp.

Yu Lan was so distressed that she asked, "How did you get here?"

Ye Yichen said: "When Taizong became emperor, he could ban speech, but he could not cut off people's hearts. Although Taizu has passed away, his prestige is still there, and there are countless people who have been greatly favored by Taizu and are willing to die for him!

And it was impossible for Taizong to replace all the officials. General Bai was one of them. At that time, he was the deputy general of the Northwest. General Northwest was Taizong's confidant. He harmed me several times. If General Bai protected me, I would have been dead.

.”

So you went to General Bai's young daughter to repay your kindness, right? Yu Lan didn't dare to say this.

Ye Yichen added: "Although I am a prince, I started my career like a soldier without any status and slowly rose up step by step." He was also very proud when he said this.

Yu Lan lamented: "I can't imagine how difficult those days were. I lived in the fear of death every day. Thinking about it makes me collapse." He can still live so happily. I have to say that the prince is really

What a wonderful flower!

The prince said: "At that time, my heart was full of hatred and I had nowhere to vent it, so I spent the whole day leading people to find trouble with unexpected people. I learned how to arrange troops and formations little by little at that time."

Yulan was embarrassed: "You must have beaten the sudden guy very badly!"

Ye Yichen said: "That's natural!"

After talking so much, Yulan finally understood how Ye Yichen could willingly assist Taizong's group and let them become emperors safely when he had so much hatred in his heart.

So when Ye Yichen said those words, Yu Lan was not surprised, but took it for granted: "Tell me, should I take back this throne?"

Yulan didn't know if she was aroused by this story. Taizong was so hateful. He acted like a villain and a treacherous boss. Not only did he steal his throne, but he also killed his whole family. In the end, even the original

The Shu Han that should be eliminated has not yet been eliminated!

A sentence came out almost without thinking: "Marry a chicken, follow the chicken, marry a dog, follow the dog! No matter what you do, I will firmly support you! If you rebel, I will wave the flag for you from behind, and we will die together."

I'll chop my head off!" After saying this, Yulan regretted it. It wasn't that she was afraid of death. The rebellion would implicate the nine clans. It didn't matter if she died, the Yang family would also suffer the same fate!

But before she could regret it, Ye Yichen's hot lips sealed hers. Then there was a long kiss that seemed to have no end!

The Autumn Festival of Dachu is scheduled on the first day of September.

This kind of exam is different from the modern college entrance examination. It is held once every three years. If you pass the Qiuwei exam, you will be promoted to a civil servant. If you succeed, you can become an official. Therefore, scholars must pay great attention to it.

For ordinary people, Qiu Wei Neng High School is like smoke rising from the ancestral grave. For example, the well-known Comrade Fan Jin was still a child in his 50s. He failed the exam more than ten times in a row, and finally won the exam. He went crazy when he was happy.

.

But for the Yang brothers, they had to win this Qiu Wei. The old man was ranked second in the first class at the age of 18. The eldest and second masters were both second-class Jinshi. Although the third master was not a Jinshi, he was also a candidate.

Except for the fifth master's official position, which was donated, this family, except for the Jinshi, is a candidate. If Chengzu and Chengzong win, everyone will take it for granted. If they don't win, others will just poke their backs: one generation is not as good as the other, and the decline of the Yang family is just around the corner.

Got it!

Under such an environment, the pressure can be imagined.

On the first day of September, the coolness of autumn began to set in, but God didn't like it, and it started to rain again. The autumn rain continued for a while, and Yulan changed her clothes and sat in the small flower hall, separated by a bead curtain, listening to Chengzong's little song.

The servant knelt on the ground and reported to her.

"Both young masters have entered the examination hall."

"The second young master sent them there."

"She looks very relaxed."

“Everything is packed, nothing is missing.”

Yulan asked a few questions, but there was really nothing more to ask, so he sent Xiaoyue to reward him with five taels of silver and let him go down.

Qian's mother said from the side: "Don't worry, Princess. The third young master is so smart that he will be the first scholar in the future. He will be a good candidate." Qian's mother was not entirely comforting. She said to the third young master

The young master has a sense of blind trust.

Yulan smiled: "No, I'm just worrying for nothing. I can't help my third brother." He had to do something to stop himself from being so anxious. He hurriedly called Xiaoyu: "Take me."

Bring me some needlework and I'll embroider a few stitches to relieve my boredom." Yulan didn't like to do needlework in the first place, and after arriving at the palace, no one kept her in check, so she became even more lazy.

As long as the prince has a right temper, he is actually a very good person to serve, and he never makes any demands from above. Almost all of his clothes are made by the sewing room in the mansion.

Qian's mother persuaded her when she had nothing to do. No matter how big she was, she should at least make a few pieces of close-fitting clothing for the prince, such as underwear and underwear. This is the most basic thing for a wife.

Yulan listened to Qian's mother's advice and took needle and thread for a month to embroider. Only half of a pair of obscene pants was made. Yulan had to laugh at herself: I am not made for this!

The atmosphere in the Yang family is also tense. The second wife burns three sticks of incense a day and chants sutras in the house all day long. The eldest wife is more nervous than she is. Although the two daughters are married to high families, they cannot be expected to provide for themselves in old age.

Farewell. She and her eldest brother had a huge quarrel. She will definitely have to live with Chengzong when she gets old in the future. Chengzong will be her support in the future.

After the three exams, on the day when the results were released, Yulan sent a boy to the Gongyuan early in the morning to wait. The boy came back before noon. When he entered the door, he shouted: "Congratulations to the princess, congratulations to the princess, you won, you won."
