Chapter 24: Find

From the beginning, Cheng Yujin felt that the mode of getting along between Old Master Hou and Cheng Yuanjing was very strange. Today, when Old Master Hou sent someone out, his eyes were obviously looking for someone. Of all the Cheng family members, only Cheng Yuanjing went to send a doctor, not at the scene.
Needless to say, Old Master Hou Cheng is looking for Cheng Yuanjing.
Old Master Hou Cheng was seriously ill and was in danger. The property arrangement and the inheritance of the title behind him were all major events. At this time, instead of rushing to explain the future, he asked everyone to talk to Cheng Yuanjing. This deep meaning is really unreasonable.
Cheng Yujin felt that there was a problem, deliberately went around, avoiding everyone's eyes and eyes, and ran back to secretly hide in the old man's house. She had to listen to what happened to Mr. Cheng's grandfather. She must avoid the crowd and tell Cheng Yuanjing alone.
Who could have thought that she had heard such terrible news!
Cheng Yujin was caught off guard and almost screamed out on the spot. She covered her mouth deadly, because too hard, her fingers were bitten with tiny teeth marks. Cheng Yujin regretted her actions for the first time. She wished to cover her ears and not listen at all.
But contrary to expectations, the sound of the outside room was weakened by a layer of wood and intermittently passed into the compartment.
Old Master Hou Cheng was so sick that he wanted to support his body, but he tried his best to raise his head. Old Master Hou ’s eyes are no longer clear, only a vague figure.
Even after falling down into the clouds, even after so many setbacks, he was still at Tsinghua University, still carrying the prince of the imperial court.
Cheng Yuanjing sighed softly and sat down on the bed of Old Hou Cheng's bed. He said, "Hou Ye, I'm here. What else do you have to do with your wishes, you can speak out."
Cheng Yujin's fingers clenched tighter in the long, narrow cabinet surrounded by heavy wooden doors. He did not deny that he defaulted on the title of Old Master Hou Cheng.
He is not the Cheng family, but the prince who has been missing for 15 years?
Many past events, suddenly burst into Cheng Yujin's mind. No wonder, before she thought that the mode of getting together between Old Master Hou and Cheng Yuanjing was strange. When making his decision, Old Master Hou looked at Cheng Yuanjing with some request. After Cheng Yuanjing nodded, he ordered it like he was relieved; no wonder Cheng The old Hou Ye asked Cheng Yuanjing to wish the emperor a long life; no wonder he was very protective of Cheng Yuanjing and was eccentric and bold; no wonder Mrs. Cheng had a suspicious attitude towards Cheng Yuanjing. Xiao Xue and Cheng Hou Ye left for 20 years, and suddenly brought a six The oldest son, Mrs. Cheng always thought that Cheng Yuanjing was not the blood of the Cheng family, but the Xiao Xue family deliberately counted the Cheng family.
It turned out not to be.
It's just that this child's true origins are so big that they dare not think about it.
Cheng Yujin's thoughts were disturbing, the more chaotic his mind was, the lighter his breathing was. She knew that she had caused a great disaster today. How big was the prince's disappearance. The whole dynasty searched for fifteen years. However, the prince had been raised in the capital with fairness and integrity. Cheng Yujin didn't dare to think about whether the emperor knew about it, but it is certain that neither the queen nor Yang Shoufu knew about it.
Old Master Hou Cheng concealed for more than ten years. He couldn't even believe his son and wife. Now that Cheng Yujin has broken him, will Old Master Hou Cheng forgive her? Even if Lord Hou Cheng is willing, I am afraid that this Crown Prince is not allowed.
Cheng Yujin covered his mouth and nose harder and harder, breathing to the lightest, almost shut his breath. At this time, the agarwood lingered in the room, and the sunlight came from the pane, slowly and heavily.
Old Master Hou's voice was also old and hoarse: "His Royal Highness, the old minister knows that there is not much time. The old minister does not have to devote himself to farming and mulberry life, and does not have to run around for a living. Yu Jiaguo did not contribute, but it was a smooth life, no regrets. Xuelan had been waiting in the underground for so long, I am afraid that he has already been tired of waiting, and the veteran no longer cares. My children and grandchildren are incompetent, and the other is your Highness. "
"His Royal Highness has lived in the folk for 15 years. The veteran was lucky enough to meet His Royal Highness, but he was unable to see His Royal Highness in the East Palace before his death.
This old Cheng Houye said intermittently, he had to stop and rest for a while before he could finish. Cheng Yuanjing always waited patiently. He listened to Old Master Hou Cheng's eyes, and his eyes swept from the incense burner of Jin Yang Beast.
This heavy copper gilt censer was placed next to a window, and the blue smoke above it was trembling. There is no wind in the house, why does the smoke shake?
Cheng Yuanjing's eyes fell gently on the closet, and then he swept inadvertently. Old Master Hou was unaware of these. He seemed to be caught in his memories, slowly repeating the eight years of Jianwu, the case of the disappearance of the crown prince who shocked the court and the wild.
"His Royal Highness is a son-in-law of the Nangong Palace, but he was born with many gangsters and was framed by adulterers. The Yang family has been reluctant to let His Majesty set up the original concubine as a queen. Honoring Princess Zhong as the queen. I did not expect the Yang family's courage to be so big that they would not die if they were pregnant. They almost made the queen mistress miscarry, and also caused premature delivery to Her Royal Highness. She was weak since childhood. The Queen Mother was born in May, Destined to keep alive, he proposed to set up another crown prince several times. The emperor refused to let him take you around after the death of Queen Zhong, and she must take care of everything for three years. Seeing that his health is getting better and better, five Suddenly suffering from an acute illness at the age of year, the imperial city doctors were helpless and the emperor couldn't help but take the pain to take you to Taoist temple. "
"The emperor originally wanted to send the palace down the mountain to recuperate his body, and to avoid the Yang family's mansions. Unexpectedly, it was not long before that the news of Qing Xuanguan was destroyed by the mountain flood was sent out of town suddenly. I went to Soshan, but after searching for three months, I found nothing. "
"There is no escape from the Taoist temple. The case was shocked, and the emperor went on for half a month, looking for the news of His Highness. Seeing the attitude of the Emperor, no one inside or outside the capital dared to say that His Royal Highness was so fierce. Only in the name of disappearance, I slowly found it. "Old Lord Hou Cheng recalled here and couldn't help shaking his head and smiled." At that time, the courtier was shocked when he heard the news, and he sent a family member to support the court. It's a pity. Unexpectedly, the fate of the world was so ingenious that His Highness was accidentally picked up by Xuelan. "
Speaking of the former adoptive mother, Cheng Yuanjing's complexion also eased. He was disappointed all his life, only Xiao Xue gave him a place of tranquility, taught him to read and write, and taught him to start again. Old Master Hou's significance to Cheng Yuanjing is far less than that of Xiao Xue's. Cheng Yuanjing's respect for Old Master Hou's respect now also depends on Xiao Xue's face.
Xiao Xue was exiled for over ten years because of family injustice. Although the door was not there, she still kept her family's boudoir and never had a blind date with a foreign man. But she is getting older and knows that her son is hopeless, so she is particularly eager to raise a child. She accidentally picked up the injured Cheng Yuanjing, moved her heart, and took him home to take care of him and wake up.
When she asked what the child's name was, the five-year-old boy was silent for a long time, saying that his parents had died and that he had come here because of a mountain rush and had no idea where he was. Xiao Xue asked his name again, he only said his name Jing.
Jing, Yuguang also, the virtue of a gentleman, the color of Kunshan.
Excellent name.
Xiao Xue did not ask much, took good care of him, and treated him as his own son. The Xue family is a family of scholars and scholars, and the Xiao Xue family is also proficient in the collection of classics of history. Seeing that the child was clever, she tried to teach him to read and write. She didn't expect that Cheng Yuanjing's talent was stronger than she thought. Little Xue's body is wearing a sin. He usually doesn't have much contact with the outside world on weekdays, and there is no more attention from outsiders when he has a child around him.
She took the children to settle down, and it didn't take long for the court to search the mountains, and the movement even radiated to the place of her exile. Xue ’s residence is becoming more and more insecure, and she gradually realizes that this child is not a lost child.
This is mostly the prince.
She didn't dare to say anything. She was from the Shilin family and could understand the situation of the imperial court. She knew that if the child was found by the imperial army, she might not survive. When Xiao Xue did not know how to be good, Old Master Hou Cheng secretly came to visit Xiao Xue by taking the opportunity to help search for the prince. Old Master Hou was the fiancé of Xiao Xue's once, but it was only once. After so many years, Little Xue's and Old Hou Cheng had no contact. Before that, Old Master Hou gave her money and was rejected by her. However, this time, Xiao Xue gritted his teeth to see Old Master Hou Cheng and asked him to bring their mother and son back to Beijing.
The more dangerous the place is, the safer it is. No matter the emperor or Yang Shoufu, he will not pay special attention to his feet. Going to Beijing can also give Cheng Yuanjing a better growing environment.
Old Master Hou did not know that Cheng Yuanjing was not the son of Xiao Xue, he thought it was an outsider who bullied Xiao Xue, let her give birth to a son and abandon their mother and son. The old man Hou Cheng couldn't bear the humiliation of Bai Yueguang in his heart. After returning to Beijing, he said that this was his son who was hiding outside. Now he takes him to recognize his ancestors.
When the emperor did not respond, Cheng Yuanjing entered the family tree of others. Cheng Yuanjing doesn't care about this. Until now, he has to plan for himself. No matter how deep his father and son are, it is not as important as his survival.
Seeing that Cheng Yuanjing didn't object, Xiao Xue's acquiescence acquiesced. The later incident was the version known to everyone in the Cheng family. Mrs. Cheng strongly opposed it. The old man Hou Cheng kept Xiao Xue and Cheng Yuanjing outside and ran to visit every month.
The emperor sent two groups of people to search for the whereabouts of the prince, all the way in the Ming, searching the mountains, all the way in the dark, visiting the people along the traces of the clues, and then following the clues to find the capital. The emperor was shocked. Only then did he find that his son had changed his surname and became an outside room of the Cheng family.
Okay, in the name of the Cheng family, it's easy to do things.
When Cheng Yuanjing returned to the Cheng family, he saw the secret agent sent by the emperor secretly. The emperor secretly observed Old Master Hou for nearly a year before revealing the tone of protecting the prince.
Old Master Hou Cheng seemed to be severely struck by thunder on a sunny day, but it was Xiao Xue's. The conjecture in her heart was confirmed. She laid down the stone. The emperor and old man Hou Cheng originally planned to keep Cheng Yuanjing securely outside the palace. When the time was right, let Cheng Yuanjing come back. Of course Cheng Yuanjing believed that the emperor ’s intentions were true when he said this, but he also knew that if he lived the life of his honored children seriously, he would never be able to recover his identity.
The emperor said the time was ripe, at least until Yang Empress Yang and Yang Shoufu died, and by then, Yang Miao's son also grew up. He has no name, no place, no support, why should he get the prince's position?
Without breaking or standing, he died afterwards, Cheng Yuanjing simply cut his own way and prepared for the imperial examination wholeheartedly. Among all people, probably only Xue Xiao supported him sincerely. The emperor and old man Hou Cheng never thought that Yuan Jing could have passed the imperial examinations. The township test was one in a hundred miles. The Jinshi were rare. In three years, there were only 100 Jinshi. Scholar?
The township examination and the meeting examination were both named tests, or Yang Shoufu was in charge. The emperor could not give Cheng Yuanjing convenience. The emperor thought at the time not to dampen the spirit of the young people. Li Chengjing would inherit the great unification in the future. Let him try the difficulty of imperial examinations and experience the sufferings of the people's livelihood.
Who knows, the emperor actually saw his son in the list sent by the ritual department. He barely controlled his look. At the hall test, he saw the eldest son's true face for the only time in years.
Father and son for a few years, if the scene is not special, I am afraid they do not know each other. The emperor did not want him to be too high, so he suppressed it at his discretion, and then when he was in charge, the emperor secretly sent eunuchs to ask Cheng Yuanjing. The emperor sighed when he heard the answer, and then arranged him to the field to see the real Dayan Dynasty with his own eyes.
In return, the case of the Xue family, which had been backed up for many years, was settled, and the little Xue learned of the adopted child high school on the sickbed.
In recent years, the conflict between North Korea and China has become more and more frequent. In addition to the serious illness of Old Master Hou, Cheng Yuanjing wrote a letter and requested to return to Beijing. The emperor saw, of course, allowed.
Cheng Yujin previously said that Huo Changyuan had trusted the prince's blessing, and it was true. Cheng Yuanjing was grateful to Xiao Xue's family. The emperor saw that Xiao Xue's rescued Cheng Yuanjing's life and made people reconsider the Xue family's case. After the Xue family's case was vindicated, Huo Xue's smelled the movement and tried to make people re-submit the prosecutor who named Shi Shizi as the Hou. About the title.
Old Master Hou Cheng has enjoyed everything in his life, and he was able to protect his prince before he was old. Two things he couldn't let go, one was the Cheng family and the other was the prince. When a prince is here, he will always look after the Cheng family. The Cheng family does not ask for enthusiasm. The children and grandchildren will always be rich and prosperous. Old Master Hou did not doubt it. It was Cheng Yuanjing's business that he could not really feel at ease.
Old Master Hou said: "Xuelan is dead, and I will soon know the truth of the year, and now only His Majesty and His Highness are left. The Yang family is in great power, Yang Shoufu controls the government, and the Empress Yang controls the inner court, the Yang family. That woman also gave birth to the second prince. Your Highness, you need to consider for yourself. If all the insiders die, once your majesty shakes, no one can prove your identity! "
Old Master Hou said these words to remind Cheng Yuanjing of the dangers of the Nine Clan. With these words alone, it would be enough to take the Cheng family away. Old Master Hou Cheng stared at Cheng Yuanjing eagerly. He knew that this was alienation, but he still took the risk to say it. At this moment, Old Master Hou Cheng Cheng was really good for Cheng Yuanjing.
Cheng Yuanjing didn't answer, and his eyes seemed to drift away, and he quickly returned to calm. Cheng Yuanjing looked at the glaring eyes of Old Master Hou Cheng, and said after a long time: "Hou Ye rest assured, I understand your worries. I know well, and I will not let Cheng's family be implicated in the future whenever I am one day.
But it is only so.
Old Master Hou Cheng felt relieved that he knew that His Highness Prince, who had placed high hopes on him, was not blinded by affection, and that the descendants of the Cheng family could also enjoy their wealth. Old Master Hou Cheng has done his best to do this. If such children and grandchildren can't keep it, then it is that Cheng's family is exhausted. After seeing the ancestors and ancestors in the future, Cheng Laohou can also be calm.
Old Master Hou smiled and closed his eyes with a smile. He was too tired, and fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes. Cheng Yuanjing watched it for a while, and when he saw that Old Master Hou had fallen asleep, he stood up slowly.
Old Master Hou ’s house was dimly lit and the medicine was heavy. He walked in the house without any footsteps. Cheng Yujin was forced to hear a secret story of Gong Wei, and now dare not breathe. She saw Cheng Yuanjing standing up from the crack, her hands clenched tighter, exhausting all her energy to hold her breath.
Cheng Yuanjing seemed to be going out. He walked past the mahogany closet and stopped inexplicably for a while. Cheng Yujin was so nervous that she was about to jump out of her heart. She almost thought she was found, but Cheng Yuanjing walked past like nothing else.
Cheng Yujin breathed a sigh of relief. She moved her body slightly, her legs numb for so long.
However, Cheng Yujin had just put his legs down, and he couldn't help hearing people say, "Not coming out yet?"
