Xiang Changbo has always been happy and angry, but Xiang Ru has a paralyzed face. As the eldest brother, he is sometimes strict and sometimes gentle in front of Xiang Changning and Xiang Changyuan.

When Xiang Changyuan was young, he liked to practice martial arts with him. Later, one was on the battlefield and the other was in the rivers and lakes. They met once a year and when they hadn't seen each other for several years.

In the middle of the night, he suddenly appeared at the door of Xiang Changyuan's room, really scary like a ghost.

Xiang Changbo looked at him expressionlessly, it was impossible to tell from his expression how long it had been.

"Brother, why do you..."

Xiang Changyuan hadn't finished speaking, Xiang Changbo rushed over suddenly, fisted with five fingers and attacked him, Xiang Changyuan reacted very quickly, immediately caught his fist wind, fearing to wake Xu Yuanqing, while receiving the move, he led people forward.

The two moved like the wind, Xiang Changyuan led him out, closed the door behind him, and then accepted the move wholeheartedly.

The two are equal in strength, but Xiang Changbo has been on the battlefield for a long time, fighting for his life, and his life is in danger if he is a little careless, so his moves are fierce and full of murderous intent.

Xiang Changyuan traveled all over the rivers and lakes, and all he met were unrestrained and unrestrained friends in the rivers and lakes. He rarely encountered heinous people. He left room for every move and style without killing, not to mention that the person in front of him was his respected elder brother.It's even more tactful.

Fists and feet intersected, the sky was split by the wind, and there were intermittent collisions that pierced the air, making the quiet courtyard even more silent.

At first, the two were evenly divided, but Xiang Changyuan repeatedly gave in and fell behind, even though he was almost injured a few times, he refused to approach.

After half a stick of incense, Xiang Changyuan was punched on the shoulder by Xiang Changbo, followed by a kick back a few feet, and he half-kneeled on the ground before he managed to stabilize himself.

The two brothers divided the victory and defeat, and they both closed their positions.

Xiang Changbo took a few steps forward, stopped a meter away from him, his eyes were cold, and his voice was angry, "Xiang Changyuan! Do you know what you are doing?"

Xiang Changyuan pressed his sore shoulder, looked up at him with clear eyes, "I know."

He is very clear about what he is doing, he has been in a daze for many years, and has never been as clear as he is now, what he is thinking.

Suppressing his anger, Xiang Changbo reminded him in a cold voice, "Master Xiang! That's Xu Yuanqing, Xu Shizi!"

"Brother, I am pleased with him." Xiang Changyuan looked at him with firm eyes, "It's not because of his identity, but because he is Xu Yuanqing."

"..."

Looking down at Changbo, he was silent for a long time, thinking a lot in his heart.

As for his only younger brother, he owed a lot to Chang Bo, so when he said that he wanted to leave the capital, he begged his father to personally send him to another world of freedom.

Even though he is in the mountains and rivers, he still does not forget that he is Xiang Jiaerlang. When urgent letters need to be delivered on the front line, he takes the lead and saves thousands of soldiers from fire and water through the thorns.

Without the love of his parents and the company of his eldest brother and sister, he left his hometown and grew up alone to the present appearance of Yushu Linfeng.

Xiang Changbo owed him and Xiang Changning all his heart, so he never thought of restraining them, as long as they were safe and happy, he could pamper them all the time.

He never thought that the result of his connivance would be so absurd.

He closed his eyes slightly, his mind was filled with many rumors about Xu Yuanqing, both true and false, the only thing that convinced him was that Xu Yuanqing was not simple, he had a grudge with Shen Qiwen, what he wanted to do was to shake the foundation of the country, not the Xiang familyThe touch situation.

"Xu Shizi..."

He murmured softly, looking at Xiang Changyuan still kneeling in front of him, neither humble nor overbearing, without a trace of hesitation in his eyes.

The Shen family has been established for hundreds of years. Up to now, in the generation of Emperor Chongming, a mediocre prince like Shen Qiwen has appeared. The government and the opposition are divided into several factions.There are ministers who do not participate in party struggles and watch the emperor's decision.

Since the Xiang family assisted the Shen emperor, they followed the ancestral precepts and never participated in party struggles to control the position of the prince.

What they want to do is to be the courtiers of the people in the world, pleading for orders and fighting for the people.

Xu Yuanqing's heart is known to everyone, and if he works with him, he will undoubtedly tell the world that he has the heart of treason and wants to abolish the crown prince.

Xiang Changbo pampered Xiang Changyuan and Xiang Changning, knowing that they had a good relationship with Xu Yuanqing, but he had never been presumptuous on the public face before, so as not to attract someone who wanted to take advantage of him, so he turned a blind eye and kept silent.

Last night in the main hall, Xiang Changyuan's defense of Xu Yuanqing in public was well known in the court and the public. Before he had time to ask him for clarification, Emperor Chongming announced him into the palace this morning, beating Xiang's family openly and secretly.

The Xiang family guarded the country through hard work and made great achievements, and Xiang Ru was already the prince and grand tutor. If he had his heart, it would be difficult for all the officials and others to explain it to him.

This statement is already a warning.

The two brothers were silent for a long time, the spring breeze in the courtyard was cold, and the chill was everywhere.

Xiang Changbo fell silent, and said in a deep voice, "Do you think His Majesty does not know that the Crown Prince is incompetent?"

Emperor Chongming was not a mediocre monarch. In the early years, he devoted himself to the New Deal. Later, he became anxious about the situation in northern Xinjiang and neglected to discipline Shen Qiwen, making him a useless material.

Shen Qiwen enslaved the common people, withheld military pay privately, even embezzled it, credited traitors, and caused the war situation in northern Xinjiang to fall into crisis several times.

It is not a pity to die one by one, and should have been deposed long ago.

But Emperor Chongming has only his eldest son, and the other sons are too young to take on important responsibilities.

The northern border is pacified, the Xiang family has made great achievements, and the new rich in the capital are springing up like mushrooms. If he wants to stabilize the Shen family, he will not abolish the prince, otherwise the people in the court will be unpredictable and the country will be unstable.

The power of the emperor is the people of the world first, and for some reason, until now it is the country first.

Xiang Changyuan didn't think about the situation in the rivers and lakes, and let himself be free and easy. After returning to Beijing, he gradually accepted the prosperity of the capital, as well as the crises that can be seen everywhere, and even deduced the court situation.

He can see the situation clearly.

He is very clear that now Shen Qiwen is not only Dasheng's heir apparent, he is already a chess piece used by Emperor Chongming to stabilize Shen's family, if he is moved, he is against the emperor, tantamount to conspiracy.

But he, when he thought of the gentle and kind Xu Shizi being bullied like that, he wished he could cramp and skin Shen Qiwen, and it was hard for him to relieve the hatred in his heart.

Xiang Changyuan stared at his elder brother, he knew that the responsibilities on Xiang Changbo's shoulders were different from his, and behind him was not only the Xiang family, but also thousands of soldiers, he couldn't make a mistake.

He endured it for a while, and still told the words in his heart, "Brother, if the one who is loyal to the family is a king like Shen Qiwen, this Dasheng should die."

"Xiang Changyuan!" Xiang Changbo yelled at him when he heard the words, and reminded him in a low voice, "Do you think you are only Xiang Changyuan?"

"So, I want to invite you, brother." Xiang Changyuan put his other leg down, looked up at the young general who was fighting, and solemnly kowtowed, his head hit the ground with a muffled sound.

He raised his head again, there was a layer of mist in his eyes, his eyes were bright in the dim light of the lantern, he choked up and said, "Please abandon me."

As the son of the Xiang family, he shoulders many responsibilities, and the lives of many strangers are in his hands. He can't act on his will, let alone act recklessly.

But he can't just watch the one he loves bear the pain alone, so, knowing that it is difficult to have both, he still hopes to have both.

"How to give up! Tell me!" Xiang Changbo was furious when he saw this, he reached out and grabbed his collar and pulled him up, his eyes widened, and he asked loudly, "Xiang Changyuan! Tell me, how can I give upyou!"

"Brother!"

Xiang Changning quickly stepped forward and held his hand down. She had something to do and didn't go back home today. After hearing the report from the dark guard, she rushed over in a hurry. She didn't think it was a step too late. The atmosphere between the two brothers had already become tense.

She abruptly separated the two, and pushed the one who refused to give in to the long-term. She had already made up her mind, and she confessed to Changbo, "Brother, it's all my fault, it's me."

It was she who acquiesced in Xiang Changyuan's approach to Xu Yuanqing, and it was she who knew Xiang Changyuan's thoughts and let him go. She could hardly absolve herself of the blame for this situation.

Hearing this, Xiang Changbo became even more angry, "What are you doing!"

Xiang Changning knew that he would be even angrier, but he still insisted, "Brother, I acquiesced in allowing A Yuan to help Xu Shizi, and it was all because of me."

"Sister!" Xiang Changyuan stepped forward to stop him, raised his hand to signal to Changning that he should not move, raised his eyes to look at Xiang Changbo, calm and fearless, "Tens of thousands of soldiers in northern Xinjiang died in vain, and I have no face to face it."

With anger in her voice and tears in her eyes, she stared straight at her elder brother, who was also a general, and choked up, "They can die gloriously on the battlefield and fight for the people of the world, but they must not be calculated by conspiracy.The selfish desires of those who died innocently!"

Xiang Changbo was shocked all over, and he did not dare to look directly at her with downcast eyes.

Shen Qiwen withheld military pay because of his own selfish desires. The soldiers in northern Xinjiang were trapped in narrow roads, faced with enemies, and had nowhere to go.

This matter is a thorn in Xiang Changning's heart, and it hurts to touch it lightly.

The reason she kept giving in to Shen Qiwen on the surface was because of his fame as a lieutenant officer, she had already hated him in her heart, so she killed him quickly.

Xiang Changbo was ashamed of her, her words were undoubtedly a stab in his heart, he also watched the soldiers die, he took them away from home, but he couldn't even save their bodies, he was ashamed of the soldiers"General".

Thinking of this, his voice trembled slightly, "A-Ning..."

Xiang Changning said frankly: "I didn't get in touch with Xu Shizi after returning to Beijing."

She and Xu Yuanqing are like-minded, and both want Shen Qiwen to pay the price.

Xiang Changbo had mixed feelings in his heart, and he had nothing to say. Looking at the younger siblings in front of him, they had grown up and were no longer children arguing behind him to play. They had their own desires and things to protect., has its own firm direction.

Although the methods and methods are different, they all lead to the same goal.

He sighed inaudibly, shook his head lightly, and turned to leave.

"Brother." Xiang Changyuan couldn't bear to see him sad, and stepped forward to block his way, with guilt in his eyes, "Sister and I didn't mean to hurt you."

"I understand, I just..." Xiang Changbo pulled the corner of his mouth with great effort, he rarely smiled, the smile he forced was ugly and tight, and said softly, "You guys have grown up."

Bowed his head to Chang Chang, "I'm sorry."

Xiang Changbo raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, his eyes were tired and regretful, and his voice was hoarse, "I don't blame you for liking Xu Shizi, do you understand?"

Xiang Changyuan's tears fell, the grievances in his heart were swept away, sorrow and joy were mixed, various emotions piled up, and he didn't know how to react for a while.

Xiang Changbo looked back at Changning, and said in a deep voice, "You can do whatever you want, father and I are behind you."

He walked away with a flick of his sleeves, let out a long sigh of relief to Chang Ning.

Xiang Changning and then Xiang Changyuan were too close to Xu Shizi, Xiang Changbo has always known.

No matter what happens in secret, it doesn't matter as long as there is no reason, they never thought that one day they would mention it to the public.

Xiang Changyuan didn't think about putting the Xiang family in danger. He didn't understand what he was going to do until he heard that Xu Yuanqing had entered the palace. He didn't hesitate at all, and there was only one thought in his mind - to accompany him.

Even, just standing with him, he didn't want him to be alone in danger.
