Chapter 98 Born to the Royal Family

In Fanyang Huangfu's family, Emperor Mingchan sat in the imperial court and looked down on the world; the eldest prince Huangfu Wenkai assisted the emperor in handling political affairs and comforted the people's feelings; the second prince, Huangfu Zeyu, was in charge of the ghost warriors and was responsible for the national intelligence collection, investigation and assassination and other blatant tasks; the third prince, Huangfu Wufan, stationed at the border with the army all year round, and made outstanding achievements in the battle. , deeply respected by the imperial warriors; Princess Huangfening was carefree and intelligent, invisibly relieved the tense atmosphere of hostility between several princes.

It is rare for Huangfu's family to sit at a peaceful table and have a meal before the end of the year. Because the third prince Wu Ben is away all year round, the Huangfu family rarely reunites, and there are few opportunities to have such a peaceful and peaceful meal.

After the emperor wore a golden silk robe and removed the flat sky crown, his white hair was faintly visible. He sat on the main seat and whispered, "Wu Ben, when you come back this time, stay in the palace for a few more days, and put down the border military for the time being."

"Return to my father, the empire won this battle. It can be seen that my Fanyang's armament is still insufficient. My son dares not slack off. He needs to personally supervise the army to complete the border defense and military, and he can't let the tragedy of Qinghe City reappear. Therefore, my son will return to the border in the near future. I hope my father's approval." Huangfu Wuwen is magnificent, and his permanent training at the border makes him the most determined of the three princes. Although he is the youngest, he has just turned 20 years old.

"Okay, I'm very gratified that Wu Ben has a heart!" The emperor picked up a plate of delicacies on the table and put them into his youngest son's bowl.

Huangfu Wenkai next to him glanced at his brother intentionally or unintentionally and nodded at an unreachable margin.

Huangfu Zeyu, who was opposite him, sneered silently, "Father, it's rare for the emperor and brother to come back. Why don't you let him stay for another month? Last year, Wu Ben was unable to return to reunite due to military affairs, and it is rare for a family to reunite today. It will take at least half a decade to go from the imperial capital to the border. The road is long and difficult. Now that you have come back, you might as well put down your military affairs and talk about your family affection with your father.

"Ha ha, Ze Yu, Wu Ben is the youngest of the three brothers. He knows that the royal family should put the country first, take public affairs as his own responsibility, and dare not be greedy for family affection. As a brother, you don't even have the awareness of your younger brother? How can this happen?" Huangfu Wenkai sneered.

"That's better than the royal brother who is obsessed with power and government and doesn't even care about the feelings of father and son. If he is so unsympathetic to the royal brother, how can it be called a 'human'? Seven emotions and six desires are brothers and sisters, which are originally human nature, and the way of heaven makes it so. Why does the royal brother act against the sky and deviate from people's nature? Oh, the royal brother can be willing to let the youngest brother go to the border to suffer a lot of wind and sand. It is estimated that 100,000 people were killed and injured in this battle in Qinghe City. It's just a trivial matter for the royal brother. Why do you have to be pretentious? The second prince did not shy away from the emperor's side, and his words were sharp and tit-for-tat.

The emperor who had been hanging his eyes to pick up the dishes gently put down his chopsticks, and the white ivory chopsticks gently collided with the enamel on the Jingtai painted bowl. The sound was crisp, but it made several people present dumb and dare not dare to speak.

The eldest prince and the second prince lowered their heads at the same time and whispered, "Father's anger!"

The emperor snorted: "When will you two brothers learn to love each other? A prince's position makes you unable to even care about brotherhood?

bluntly broke through the conflict between the eldest prince and the second prince.

The position of prince is the most difficult thing in the royal family in history. It moves the whole body with a hair. Lightly, it shakes the government and the opposition, and in heavy case, it is a change of dynasties.

Emperor Mingchan said in a low voice, "You see clearly, I'm still alive!" The voice is cold and full of hatred.

The eldest prince and the second prince did not expect to make the emperor angry. They quickly got up and left the table and chair, turned over and knelt down, put their foreheads to the ground, and threw themselves to the ground.

The world thinks that the emperor of Mingchan is a benevolent political country and does not want to govern. Fanyang has been seen in the past 20 years, but few people know the cohesation of the chaos in the first year of Mingchan. But as a son, how can he not know his father's wrist?

Wu Ben and Princess Ning Zheng, who were sitting opposite the emperor, also felt the anger and hatred of their father. Wu Ben had been silent since childhood. He had been practicing at the frontier all year round, and his personality became more and more silent. Seeing this situation, he was speechless, so he had to lower his head, clenched the ivory chopsticks, and his wrists trembled.

Princess Ningzheng, who had been silent, stood up, stood around the table and stood beside the emperor. She patted the emperor's back and smiled like a wind bell. "Father, don't be angry. It's rare for our family to reunite. Isn't it good to be harmonious? The royal brothers all want to prove their ability to their father. It's inevitable that they have not given way to each other for so many years. In fact, the two royal brothers only want Fanyang to flourish... Father, don't be angry. It's rare for Brother Wu Ben to come back. When you are angry, he doesn't even dare to eat. The two brothers also know they are wrong. Please forgive them!"

The emperor closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and looked tolerant.

"Wenkai, Zerui, I know the decision of the prince's position. Don't use your thoughts in private to avoid self-defeating. Brothers and sisters, I don't want to see it. When I competed for the throne, I broke off my kindness with several imperial brothers. The Fanyang royal family was severely damaged and the branches and leaves withered. In your generation, I don't want to see the men of the Huangfu family lose any more!" The emperor stood up and said in a low voice, shook his robe and strode away.

The originally good reunion dinner became unpleasant in an instant.

Huangfu Wenkai, who was still kneeling on the ground, looked at Huangfu Zeyu and looked complicated. When they saw the shock in each other's eyes, they thought that their means were very secret and would never go on a business trip, but their father was aware of what they had planned and remained calm.

Huangfu Zeyu sneered: "Are you afraid? If you are afraid, don't touch the thoughts of the 150,000 navy, so that your father will not be more angry!"

"You are afraid!" Huangfu Wenkai said lightly.

"What am I afraid of? Are you afraid that you will hold the Cang navy and fight with Li Qingyu and other goods to secure the position of prince? Joke, at worst, I will be safe as my vassal king, free, and you put on a dragon robe, like sitting on pins and needles! I don't want the position of prince, but you, Huangfu Wenkai, you take the position of prince too seriously. As soon as I intervene a little, you will be nervous and anxious. You are afraid that I will grab your throne, exactly the same as when I was a child, for fear that I will rob what should have belonged to you! Did you teach him what Wu Ben said to his father just now? How can Wu Ben not want to stay in the palace for a few more days and relax for a few more days? You are so eager to drive him to the border. Aren't you afraid that your father will set up a prince at the end of the year? Wu Ben will attract your father's attention too much and weaken your position in your father's heart... For so many years, as I have grown up with you, I don't know what you think?"

Huangfu Wenkai tidyed up his robes and stood straight, like an upright poplar, staring at his brother blankly, "Since you know me so well, why do you rebel against my will? Why did you send the newly sealed General Beichen to lead a hundred light horses to intercept Li Qingqi? As you said, I will sit in my dragon chair as my prince. You and Wu Ben are the king of a vassal. Ning Zheng is the title of a princess and marrying Yan of an empire. Our generation of young people are happy. Why do you have to obstruct it? Zeyu, among the four brothers and sisters, the most ignorant is you!"

Huangfu Zeyu's hand hidden in his robe clenched into a fist.

"Since you don't accept me, I will convince you! Li Qingjiao has been on the way to the imperial capital to receive the reward. The cavalry you sent to intercept have set out, and the arrows have been sent out, so you can't look back. This is a ring of mantis trapping cicadas and yellow finches behind. Let's see who has more backhands and who has deeper operations in the empire and can use stronger connections. Let's see who comes back alive in the end. !" Huangfu Wenkai stood with his hands behind his back, turned his back to other brothers and sisters, and said indifferently, "But I can give you a promise that the three of you are my brothers and sisters at any time. As long as I become the prince and sit on the throne, I will reward you the most abundant land of the empire, and our brothers and sisters will never kill!"

After saying that, Huangfu Wenkai left the hall, and there was a cold wind blowing in his robe.

Looking at his departure, Huangfu Zeyu sneered: "Do you believe that the saint-like Huangfu Wenkai gave us a promise?"

"I don't believe it!" Huangfu Wu Ben said in a hisss. The border has been windy and sandy all year round, and the water supply is insufficient. His voice coughed in a cold in his early years. "I don't forget what means he used to force me to leave the palace when I was just 15 years old and repatriated to the border alone..."

"I don't believe it either! The world thinks that I, who is in charge of the ghost department, am a gloomy and cruel man, but they don't know that the seemingly open and upright prince has learned ten times from the coldness of his father's son. With his temperament, I was the first to die when he became a prince and sat on the throne!" The second prince smiled.

"As he said, this is one after the mantis catches the cicadas and the yellow finch. After he has been working hard for so many years, am I waiting to die? Compared with connections, I'm not inferior to him! Wu Ben, if you can help me, I'm sure to turn Huangfu Wenkai's planning for so many years into a joke. Do you dare?

"Dare!" Huangfu Wu Ben's voice is like a cold wind wrapped in sand and stone at the border all year round.

"In the early years, the father ordered that the prince should not interfere in the military and hold military power, otherwise he should give up the right to inherit the throne. Wu Ben, you were erased of inheritance by this law order by Huangfu Wenkai, but it has also become a variable. Although your military power is not as good as that of Yin Cangyan and the riding general Wang Zhongli, your royal bloodline is a golden signboard. If you order it yourself, the local army does not dare to disocee. When I need to use it, you just need to write a hand. It's enough to send troops. Is there any difficulty?

"Brother, don't hesitate to order!"

"Good!" The second prince turned to look at Princess Ning Zheng, who had never spoken, "Ning Zheng, I didn't avoid saying these words, but I don't want to hide them from you. After all, you have grown up and are old enough to talk about marriage... I don't want you to get involved. You are our youngest sister. There is no reason for you to go into the muddy water, but just ask for a little for your brother, don't interfere. Don't say too much in front of your father, just be neutral, okay?"

After saying these words, he was a little unbearable. The palace fight was too heavy and cruel for such a simple girl as Ning Zheng. In my little sister's heart, brothers and sisters are close to each other. How can you live like this? But I was born in the emperor's family, so I have to do this! Throughout the succession of the mainland's historical dynasty and the struggle around the imperial government, although there is no smoke and war, the blood shed will never be small, and every drop of blood is extremely precious.

Your surname is Huangfu, and you have the supreme surname of this empire. Who knows the hardships behind it? He tried his best not to get Ning Zheng involved and tried his best to protect her, but he felt sorry for this simple and kind-hearted sister and wished her peace and health forever.

Ke Ning was looking at his unprecedented strange eyes. His bright eyes opened wide and said in disbelief, "You sent the stars out? Did you let Xingchen kill Li Qingqi?

Her voice is shrill, like a nightingale entangled in the net.

Yes! It is enough to keep one of the leaders of the young generation of the empire. After all, there are so many gifts from the father. If one more person shares it, the other person will get a little less! The new Cang navy and the newly appointed General Beichen can only keep one. In fact, this is also what his father meant. He knew that Ye Xingchen and Li Qingqi were going to fight, but he did not stop them. He just wanted them to kill one person and leave only one to reuse!" The second prince explained patiently.

But Ning Zheng left angrily without waiting for him to finish speaking, and his soft face was full of sharp anger.

The silent third prince, Huangfu Wu Ben, also got up and left, no longer in the mood to enjoy delicious food.

Just now, the family was reunited, and the happy hall instantly walked away with cold tea, leaving only the two princes to have a table of delicious food.

He sighed, couldn't help tightening his robe and whispered, "What a great misfortune to be born to the royal family!"
