Can Drink A Cup of Nothing

Emperor Yuan had a very long dream.

He dreamed that he was standing on a high turret, looking into the distance with a cold face.

As far as the emperor's eyes go, it is the territory of the country. Leading the coast of the earth, is it a king minister.

The place he is facing now is the north of the Great Abyss.

There is permafrost, cold frontiers, and harsh climate.

When Emperor Yuan was still a prince, he was thrown to the border for a few years by the previous emperor in the name of experience, and he naturally knew how difficult the conditions there and how tense the war was.

But two years ago, Emperor Yuan personally exiled the prince he valued most.

Said to be exile, but in fact it did not take away the title of the prince. But not giving military power, not delegating power, and not saying the reason, sent to the frontier without a time limit, in the eyes of others, is no different from exile.

The cold wind howled.

Just standing here, Emperor Yuan could recall his shocking anger after learning the truth two years ago after the witch sacrifice ceremony. vividly.

This thing can be called a complete fool. It was a great humiliation in the emperor's life.

The child he is most optimistic about is not his own blood.

After years of training and painstaking efforts, it was someone else's way to make a wedding dress for him.

Even if he knew that the Yu family had been destroyed, Emperor Yuan could not wait to dig up people and whip their bodies.

If the Yu family hadn't been wiped out, in the end, they would have done little to change the civet cat for the prince. Relying on the affection he once had for Zong Luo, it was impossible for the latter to do anything to them, and he could easily control this huge enemy country that had been painstakingly forged by generations of emperors.

Really good calculation, really good calculation.

Emperor Yuan's face was gloomy, and he almost didn't grit his teeth.

Such a great humiliation, even if one knows or does not know about one's own life experience, if it is placed on any emperor, it will be immediately executed.

Emperor Yuan was indeed angry. He was so angry that he wrote an imperial decree that was not stamped with a jade seal. Before it was unclear whether Zongluo was involved, he was motivated to kill.

However, in the end, this imperial decree was only used as a pretense for Pei Qianxue, who was begging for mercy.

In the end, it is the prince who has high hopes and cultivated for many years. Can't get over this killer.

Emperor Yuan accepted Pei Qianxue's advice and sent people to the frontier.

When he issued the imperial decree, Emperor Yuan thought that before he was buried in the imperial mausoleum, he would never want to see the child he once loved the most.

But time can dilute so many things.

There is no more the daily report of the dark guard to the third prince in the memorial. The military newspapers that came out will no longer have the words of the third prince. There will not be a white-robed prince riding on Zhao Yebai, who will return to the city surrounded by the people. There will be no emperor quietly ascending the turret and watching him on every expedition.

Several times, the palace paid tribute to some good things, and Emperor Yuan subconsciously blurted out to send some to the Third Prince's Mansion. At the end, he pursed his lips and realized that he had slipped.

The other palace servants just pretended they didn't hear it and didn't dare to say a word.

Everyone knows that since the third prince left the imperial city, these three words have become an absolute taboo for Emperor Yuan.

Whether it is Pei Qianxue or Yuan Jia. These courtiers and officials closest to Emperor Yuan couldn't figure out Emperor Yuan's mind, so they didn't dare to bluntly persuade him, let alone the palace staff?

Emperors are used to covering up their true emotions.

He was the only one who knew what he was thinking.

After the anger passed, it finally began to ease.

After all, those petting and attention were not fake.

Emperor Yuan was not the only one who favored the third prince from the beginning. It was Zongluo himself who moved the emperor with his hard work, his sweat, his admiration and fearlessness. This is how to cultivate, pay attention to, and have high hopes.

His appreciation for the child himself is true, but this is also based on the premise of blood. If there is no blood... not to mention an emperor, it is difficult for any head of the family, even an ordinary person, to not mind.

Before Emperor Yuan knew it, the balance in his heart began to tilt.

From the very beginning, it was impossible to mention it. Later, it was tacitly agreed that the frontier would continue to flow. Every three days, the daily secret report of the third prince was sent and placed at the top of the memorial, and finally, he occasionally took the initiative to ask.

Even the frontier generals said that even if they were assigned to the frontier, the three princes were still conscientious, guarding the country steadfastly, and there was no sign of self-abandonment or decadence.

of course.

Emperor Yuan was both sad and proud.

This is the prince he cultivated with emphasis and cultivated with the tradition of the clan.

Not to mention anything else, although the way the Zong family trains the princes is rather extreme, the Dayuan emperors who have been screened out by the shaman sacrifice ceremony in all dynasties are indeed people with good temperament and can bear hardships and stand hard work.

No matter what, he will never forget his responsibility.

Although in front of Zongluo, Emperor Yuan rarely praised him, but more severely urged him to continue his efforts.

But in Emperor Yuan's heart, he will always be his most satisfied prince, no one.

Looking into the distance, the emperor in a black dragon robe thought.

Just wait.

Wait for time to unravel this knot.

However, no one expected that soon after, he suddenly fell ill.

The sudden illness is menacing, and it is almost death when it comes up.

It wasn't until he woke up from the coma that he realized that this was his fate.

Back then, Zong Luo was injured on the front line, and his life was at stake. Emperor Yuan asked Tai Wu to force his beloved son to continue his life, but the latter repeatedly reminded him that he had to pay the price. But because the trajectory of the emperor star cannot be observed, Taiwu does not know what the price will be.

Although Emperor Yuan was mentally prepared, he did not expect that the real situation would be so dangerous when his fate came, and even the imperial doctor said it was indeed a catastrophe.

Maybe people always have to think clearly about some things at the time of life and death.

Let go of conformity or pride, and even grievances can laugh.

After hearing that he had walked on the line of life and death, Emperor Yuan, who had woken up leisurely, just wanted to quickly call Zong Luo back from the frontier. Prince Feng Bufeng said otherwise, at least he had to keep people by his side to feel at ease.

After all, that was his favorite prince.

"Go and get my imperial decree, I want to call the third child back and send them to the frontier. There are also those petty fights in the imperial city when I was in a coma... I really think I am old. For more than ten days, they have rebelled under the name of the Qingjun, and I have not seen them successfully step into the hall."

He struggled to get up from the hospital bed, muttering.

The bedroom was dead silent.

The whole house of imperial doctors and confidants lowered their eyes and said nothing, and the atmosphere was strangely silent.

Emperor Yuan frowned: "Can't you hear my orders? Yuan Jia, bring the imperial decree!"

In this silence, Pei Qianxue stood up.

He saluted towards the bed, and the people in the hall immediately followed and knelt on the ground, and the sound of breathing could be heard.

"Report to Your Majesty, the Third Highness, he... He had committed suicide under the Imperial City three days ago."

It is difficult to describe the mood of Emperor Yuan at that time.

The only certainty is that he must be as rigid as a sculpture.

After a long time, he opened his mouth.

"Pei Qing, the crime of deceiving the king is a capital crime."

Emperor Yuan looked at Pei Qianxue deeply, as if to see some traces of jokes on the face of Prime Minister Da Yuan, who had always been unsmiling and stern.

However no.

Hearing the news of his close friend's death, although the relationship has faded in the past two years, the latter's expression is still a little sad.

After dispersing the people in the hall, the Prime Minister in Tsing Yi spoke slowly.

"The four, five, and six princes joined forces to rebel, and the third prince rushed back from the frontier with Xuanqi. The three princes were worried that things would change, and decided to join forces to eradicate the third prince. It happened that the Weiguo proton had stolen the imperial edict and read it on the imperial city. After reading the imperial decree, the Third Highness did not say a word, did not ask any questions, and just killed himself."

Obviously, no one thought that it would be this result in the end.

Many courtiers did not know the real reason why the Holy General sent the third prince to the frontier, and even Zong Luo himself did not know.

Although the third prince is clear and bright, but he is also decisive on the battlefield, and he should not be a fool of filial piety.

Who would have thought that such an imperial decree that could no longer be faked in the eyes of many confidants would really be taken seriously by the Third Highness.

Many people are wondering. Could it be that over the past few years, the third prince has no resentment in his heart?

Such sudden disgust should at least be understood. Even the third prince's old enemy and junior brother, King Beining, also looked unexpected.

After listening to this, Emperor Yuan's heart was ashes, his anger attacked his heart, and he vomited a mouthful of blood.

He was already seriously ill, his body was weak, and he couldn't hold his breath at all. It's no use if the immortal Lao Tzu comes.

Before he died, he was deeply remorseful and wept.

All the grudges and pimples vanished the moment she heard that Aiko committed suicide.

If Zongluo really knew his background, how could he kill himself.

If it is not unfilial, how can he not say a word, and immediately obey the order.

The emperor never thought that his children would be so filial and loyal to him.

Emperor Yuan never believed in ghosts and gods, but at this moment, he also sincerely hoped.

——If there is a god in the world, I would do it all over again.

After opening his eyes again, Emperor Yuan saw Tai Wu's face.

Not that he was rescued, but a conversation that happened a few years ago.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to save the third prince?"

Emperor Yuan was stunned for a moment.

He couldn't tell whether it was a reality or a dream, but after seeing Zongluo lying in bed with no life, Emperor Yuan still made the same choice as in his previous life.

Under a traceless temptation, he found himself back five years ago.

Five years ago, Zong Luo was still that high-spirited young general.

There was no personal decree in those two years to distribute the parting of the frontier. There is no change in the shamanic ceremony. They still maintain a father-son relationship that appears to be indifferent and respectful to Rumu. Like every pair of emperors in the Zong family and their princes who have high hopes for them, they quietly hide all their warmth under the skin of an indifferent and majestic emperor.

If it wasn't for the tangible memory, Emperor Yuan even thought that he was just having a dream.

Who would have thought that Emperor Dayuan, who had lived his entire life, would end up like this in his last life.

He didn't know why he was reborn, and Tai Wu could not observe the trajectory of Emperor Star.

However, this did not prevent Emperor Yuan from laying out the buried thread in advance, at least not repeating the tragedy of the previous life.

However, as the layout was laid out, Emperor Yuan suddenly discovered that he was not the only one who was reborn with him in this life.

Two years later, on a night of nine stars, the whole world had the same dream.

After that, the news of the death of the third prince under Hangu Pass came. In the same year, the King of Bac Ninh made a request that was different from his previous life.

With the memory of the past life as a reference, it is simple to find these differences.

......

wake up.

Perhaps it was the sound of sobbing that disturbed him, or perhaps there was some kind of consonance, and the emperor on the bed actually moved.

For the first time in more than ten days, he opened his eyes.

Yuan Jia, who was serving on the side, was extremely surprised.

As early as a few days ago, the imperial doctor shook his head. Even the sorcerer was helpless. Frankly speaking, he can hold on until now, maybe he is holding on, and he wants to take one last look at His Royal Highness.

The pair of phoenix eyes that were almost identical to Yu Beizhou became cloudy for a moment, and then they finally found their focus and became sharp.

Even if he is lingering on the sickbed, his appearance of returning to light does not diminish his majesty in the slightest.

Emperor Yuan slowly turned his head, looked at the prince in white kneeling in front of the dragon bed, and pulled out a gratified but weak smile: "Luo Er, you are here."

Zong Luo suddenly opened his eyes wide, and tears fell like rain.

He never thought about it.

Why in this life he escaped and came back, Emperor Yuan would be so frightened and angry.

Because Emperor Yuan had already vaguely suspected from the moment he saw Zong Luo, whether he had the memory of his previous life, he worked hard to hide his resentment and tricks.

Zongluo never thought about it.

Why did he not present the Divine Dragon Jade at the birthday banquet, but after offering the 10,000-year-old ginseng, Emperor Yuan's expression would be so unhappy that he stayed up all night.

Because Emperor Yuan knew for a long time that the gift that the third child really took pains to prepare was not this one.

After seeing the old ginseng, he was even more sure that Aiko also had the memories of her previous life. The previous battle of Hangu Pass was all for him to play.

However, looking at his beloved son who vomited blood at the birthday banquet, Emperor Yuan was shocked and angry, tired and sad for the first time.

This kid, after all, still blames him.

Zong Luo still didn't think about it.

Why was Emperor Yuan in such a hurry to establish him as the prince, and after he was established as the prince, he was eager to consolidate power for him, set up the East Palace, and pushed all his confidants over.

Because Emperor Yuan knew for a long time that his time was short.

Why in this life, Emperor Yuan no longer hides his concern for him, but tells him one thing little by little—the emperor loves you.

I didn't say it before the shamanic ceremony because the tradition of the clan could not say it. I didn't talk about it after the witch sacrifice ceremony, because it was not blood. When I finally figured it out, I couldn't help it.

Emperor Yuan couldn't explain to Zongluo the reason for the imperial decree in his previous life, it was indeed written by him. No matter how you make up for a failed father-son relationship, there will still be cracks.

Why was Emperor Yuan's expression so calm after confessing the truth that night? Even after multiple exposures, Zong Chengsi confided and confessed himself, after so many exposures, he still had no doubts.

It was because Emperor Yuan knew it for a long time.

He knew from the beginning that the third child was not his own blood.

Zongluo didn't know that even if Yu Beizhou did not participate in the exchange of wooden plaques behind his back in this life, the crown prince would only fall on him. Because Emperor Yuan had prepared another forged wooden sign in his cuff.

In fact, Emperor Yuan pretended to be drunk that night. The emperor is suspicious, the last test.

What makes the emperor proud is that Zongluo did not live up to his expectations, whether before or after his rebirth.

Even some clues.

For example, Zongluo's posthumous title was Prince Xiaoke.

Filial piety is filial piety, abide by it. Together it is the observance of filial piety.

If Emperor Yuan had not been reborn, the posthumous title would naturally not indicate Xiaoke.

It was precisely because Emperor Yuan was reborn that he knew that Zong Luo would really kill himself because of one of his imperial decrees. After thinking that his beloved son was different from his previous life and died at Hangu Pass, he was full of grief, so he gave this posthumous title by decree.

Even in the imperial mausoleum, the tomb originally planned for Prince Xiaoke was built according to the emperor's specifications.

...and many, many, many.

Across the deep and shallow curtain, the mottled white on the emperor's temples is dazzling.

Death in a previous life, death in this life.

It turned out that he didn't just let the white-haired man send the black-haired man once.

What kind of mood did Emperor Yuan have when he received the news of his death in this life?

Zong Luo dared not think about it.

And what were you doing at that time? He thought that he had been reborn and had a chance to do it all over again. He planned and planned every step of the way.

Not only Emperor Yuan, but also Yu Beizhou.

Those little actions that he thought he was clever, turned into knives in the end. Without Zongluo realizing it, he stabbed the people who loved him over and over again.

"Father, it is the son who is not filial, and the son's sin should be punished with death."

Zongluo knelt on the ground, and his remorse flooded him like a tide: "Father, my son has asked Beizhou to get half an elixir, so don't talk for now, okay?"
