Chapter 391 Life Experience
"Ok?"
Hearing Yunhong's words, Chu Zhuang couldn't help showing a surprised expression.
"Second brother, what do you mean is not Mengxi's second brother?"
Chu Zhuang glanced at Yunmengxi and then at Yunhong, but did not understand the meaning of this sentence.
When Yunmengxi heard this, his eyes flickered slightly, but he was not surprised by Yunhong's words, as if he knew it already.
Yunhong glanced over the faces of the two of them, seeing Yunmengxi's expression, he was slightly taken aback, and asked, "Mengxi, did you already know?"
Yunmengxi looked at Yunhong with complicated eyes, and nodded slightly.
"When did you know?" Yunhong asked with a slight change in expression.
"When I was young, I played hide-and-seek with my eldest brother. When you were talking to your father, second brother, I, I hid on the beam of the study..." Yunmengxi touched his nose and said with a guilty conscience.
"So, can you tell me what's going on?"
Chu Zhuang interrupted the conversation between the two in a daze.
Yunhong sighed slightly and nodded, he came here today to talk about this matter with Chu Zhuang.
"I'm actually the prince..."
When Yunhong mentioned this matter, his eyes were full of sadness, and he told Chu Zhuang about his life experience in a deep voice.
"Prince?" Chu Zhuang raised his eyebrows, showing a surprised expression.
"The son of the emperor and the former empress." Yun Hong nodded and said.
"The first queen is my aunt." Yun Mengxi whispered in Chu Zhuang's ear.
Chu Zhuang frowned, Yunhong would not joke with him about such things, so what he said was true, but...
"Since the second brother is the prince, why is it..."
Chu Zhuang looked at Yunhong and asked, he was used to the address of Yunhong's second brother, and he didn't change it for a while. Of course, the people present didn't think it was a problem.
Yunhong lowered his eyes and sighed, and said, "This matter starts from 20 years ago."
Twenty years ago, the Kingdom of Jin in the north invaded and attacked fiercely.
The Yun family has guarded the frontier for generations, but at that time Yun Tingfeng's father was old, and during the confrontation, he was exhausted and fell on the battlefield.
At that time, Yun Tingfeng was not the champion of the northern princes who are now Megatron, but a left forward.
After the commander-in-chief fell, the army collapsed, and the Jin Kingdom was in a state of turmoil all the way. Wherever it went, it was hell on earth.
Yun Tingfeng reorganized the army, led the soldiers to resist desperately, and waited for the support of the rear countries.
However, the government was controlled by Sima Zhishang at that time, and he was unwilling to send troops to support him, but advocated avoiding the war and moving south.
The battle ahead is tense, but the battle behind is fierce.
Empress Yunqi didn't want to see her brother die in battle, and she didn't want to avoid the war and move south, so she stole the soldier talisman and led the army north to support him regardless of her pregnancy.
Yun Tingfeng waited for rescue during the decisive battle, and the two brothers joined forces to fight against the enemy, and finally drove Jin Guo back to the border.
However, Yun Qi passed away shortly after giving birth to Yun Hong because of fetal gas.
The war was won, but Sima Zhishang led the ministers to advocate that Yunqi stole the soldier amulet. At that time, Gu Qi led a group of students to sit in protest in front of the imperial city gate. .
After the frontier was stabilized, Yun Tingfeng and Yun Hong were about to set off back to Dongfeng Mansion, but they were stopped outside the gate of Dongfeng Mansion.
Jingheng, the abbot of Xiangguo Temple, calculated that Yunhong was the descendant of Weiyueyan and Xingxing.
It is asserted that Yunhong was still in the mother's womb, brought national disasters and wars, and killed his mother at birth. If he is allowed to return to the imperial city, it may endanger the safety of the emperor and empress dowager.
Jingheng is not only the abbot of Xiangguo Temple, but also the national teacher. His remarks cannot be ignored by the queen mother or the emperor.
But Yunhong is the prince after all, and it is impossible to kill him directly because of his remarks.
"So, second brother, you have become uncle's son?"
Chu Zhuang's face showed the expression of an old man on the subway looking at his mobile phone. What kind of feudal society is this, where a prince can't even recognize his identity because of a monk's remarks?
Especially since this prince is still the queen's son, it stands to reason that he was born as a prince!
"Yeah." Yunhong nodded, with a mocking look on his face, and said: "Uncle and I have no way of knowing how they negotiated. In the end, uncle only received a secret letter from the emperor, asking him to recognize me as a Son, I announced to the outside world that I had a cold and passed away."
"The emperor doesn't want your son like this?" Chu Zhuang pursed his lips and asked, "Can this royal blood flow outside like this?"
Isn't the royal family most concerned about bloodlines?
Is it really okay to just deny Yunhong like this?
"Not forever." Yunhong explained: "Before the age of 20, I was raised under my uncle's lap, and I will officially announce my identity on my 20th birthday."
"20 years old." Chu Zhuang was slightly stunned, he looked at Yunmengxi, Yunmengxi is 17 years old this year, Yunhong is older than Yunmengxi...
"Second brother, how old are you this year?" Chu Zhuang asked.
Yunhong knew what Chu Zhuang wanted to ask, and said directly: "Next May will be my 20th birthday."
Chu Zhuang frowned, pondered for a while and asked, "Then second brother, you will be the prince? Prince?"
"Second prince." Yunhong revealed his identity, and a look of unwillingness flashed across his eyes.
The empress Yunqi passed away, and the harem could not live without an offspring, so one year later, Concubine Xue Gui was canonized as empress, and the second prince she gave birth to was also canonized as prince.
Even if his identity is recognized on his 20th birthday, he can only be an ordinary prince at this time.
Chu Zhuang thought about the current situation in the court, and his eyes were full of complex expressions.
"20 years, the day lily is cold!"
The forces in the court have basically been divided, either the princeling party or the grand princeling party, and the rest are basically neutral parties. Now that an adult prince suddenly appears, Yunhong may be isolated in the court No help!
Yunhong, the second prince's status, if he takes it back at this time, not only will he not be able to win over his own power, but he will also become a thorn in the side of the prince and the first prince, it is simply a hot potato!
"The emperor, the empress Xue's family, the imperial concubine Sima's family..."
Chu Zhuang dipped his fingertips in tea and wrote down the forces of all parties in the court on the table. After analyzing it for a while, he said anxiously: "Except for the emperor and queen mother who may want to recognize you, the others, I'm afraid... "
"I know that I have been assassinated many times since I was a child. Fortunately, I have my uncle's protection, otherwise I would not be able to live to this day."
"It's just that, apart from me, they even attacked people around me!" Yunhong's eyes flashed coldly, and he said angrily: "The poisoning of my uncle was done by the imperial concubine before. Found out, then..."
Yunhong couldn't go on talking until this point, he clenched his fists angrily, his eyes were full of mischief, because of him, the people around him suffered too many conspiracies and plots.
Chu Zhuang frowned, and there was a flash of clarity in his eyes: "If uncle died of poisoning before, they can use the previous dangerous star remarks to prevent the emperor from recognizing you as your second brother when he was 20 years old, and at the same time, they can take the opportunity Seize the military power of the Yun Family."
This is killing two birds with one stone!
"That's right!" Yunhong nodded and said, "Both the crown prince and the eldest prince are very afraid of me. The emperor's health is getting worse every year, and they will not allow another adult prince to compete with them for the reserve position. "
Especially this prince, who has a backing of the Yun family who controls the military power behind him.
Yunmengxi looked at Yunhong with worry in his eyes, Chu Zhuang glanced at Yunmengxi, reached out to hold his hand, and squeezed it gently to make him feel relieved.
No matter what happens, Yunmengxi has him by his side!
"Second brother."
Chu Zhuang looked at Yunhong, he knew that Yunhong's purpose in coming to him today was definitely not just to confess his identity.
The First Prince and the Crown Prince will not let Yunhong go, nor will they let the Yun family go.
As long as Chuzhuang is with Yunmengxi, it will also be branded as the Yun family.
They are now grasshoppers on the same rope, all prosperous and all lost.
"Then do you want to fight for this reserve?"
Chu Zhuang looked at Yunhong fixedly and asked.
"I……"
Yunhong pursed his lips, raised his eyes, met Chu Zhuang's gaze, and asked, "Can we not argue?"
In fact, the question facing Yunhong now has no choice at all.
If he doesn't fight, no matter who is in the position, the opponent will not let him go.
Because his identity is a potential threat!
Chu Zhuang smiled and said, "What I'm asking is, second brother, do you want to fight?"
It's not about whether it's possible objectively, but whether Yunhong wants it or not subjectively.
Yunhong lowered his eyes and pondered for a while, then nodded slowly, and only said one word: "Think!"
That seat should have belonged to him!
After getting this answer, Chu Zhuang nodded. He looked at the forces on the table and pondered. After a while, he added Jingheng's name.
"Ignore the others for now, what is the origin of this Jingheng?" Chu Zhuang asked, pointing to Jingheng's name.
"Jingheng is the abbot of Xiangguo Temple, and also a national teacher. This person has profound Buddhism, not only deeply trusted by the emperor, but also the people trust him very much. He is an eminent monk." Yunhong frowned, and squeezed his eyes together. Lip explained.
"The Dharma is profound?"
There was a sarcastic smile on the corner of Chu Zhuang's lips. He didn't think that a person with advanced Buddhism would say such things as Wei Yueyan to slander people's reputation.
This monk's six faculties are not pure, so how could he be an eminent monk.
Compared with this Jingheng, Chu Zhuang thinks that Huiming is more like an eminent monk than him.
Huiming doesn't care about the prejudices of the world, otherwise, according to his identity and status, how could he be an unknown guard beside Chu Zhuang?
Moreover, his pursuit of the Dharma is not in words, but in real travels all over the mountains and rivers.
This Jingheng is just a cover of Buddhism, but in fact it is engaged in the business of fighting for power and profit.
