Chapter 19 Old-fashioned Prime Minister Chapter
In the red pavilion next to the lotus pond, there is a chessboard on a stone table. Two brothers from the Yang family sit facing each other, with one holding white pieces and the other holding black pieces.The atmosphere is warm and nice.
Yang Gu, who was upright, held black pieces in his hand, and said excitedly: "Heng'er, this backgammon is really interesting. Did you come up with it?" Hearing this, Yang Heng just shook his head slightly. In fact, he just didn't want to learn Go The one who just proposed to play backgammon didn't have the cheek to take the credit of the ancestors: "No, it's not me." Seeing Yang Heng's expression of not wanting to talk, Yang Gu didn't ask any more questions.
Yang Gu looked around and praised: "It's also the second time I've come to your mansion. The first time I came here was just to celebrate your housewarming with Dad and the others. If you didn't come to invite me, I would have thought that you would leave me alone." This big brother forgot." Then he pointed to the grass in the garden and asked, "Heng'er, do you like irises?" Yang Heng also went to see the irises of various colors that he specially ordered his servants to plant on the grass. Grass, this is his favorite flower.So he grinned his little white teeth for a long time, showing a sincere smile: "Brother, let me tell you a story."
Because the other name of Iris is Zhu Yingtai Flower, he simply told Yang Gu the story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, just to pass the time.Yang Gu was silent after hearing this, and fell into deep thought.Yang Heng didn't bother, until Yang Gu raised his head and asked Yang Heng: "Heng'er, do you think two men can be together?"
Yang Heng never thought that Yang Gu's point was so strange, but he really thought about it. He has always been cautious about his relationship. The first time he lost it because of a task set by the system, otherwise he might really be single. lifetime.It's not that there are no men he meets who are pleasing to the eye and have a personality he likes, but others are not like him.He also couldn't bear to ruin other people's lives. It was very tiring for two men to be together. They had no children, and they had to bear the strange eyes from their parents and others.He couldn't bear his other half to endure these, so he wouldn't take a shot at someone he would still like under such strict conditions.
In the end, Yang Heng gave Yang Gu an answer: "The state of Jin is open-minded, and there is nothing wrong with two men being together. In fact, I will tell you the truth...I like men." Yang Heng's face became serious.Yang Gu put down his hand holding the chess, and his tough facial features became serious.
So the two looked at each other with blank faces, with many complicated emotions in their eyes.In the end, it was Yang Gu who said, "You will make the Yang family unsuccessful." Yang Heng looked at Yang Gu's brows that were gradually furrowed, and after saying a word, the brows touched together—"Brother If you find another virtuous woman, you will have a future."
Yang Gu's eyebrows did not return to their original shape for a long time.Only then did Yang Heng remember his purpose for inviting Yang Gu to come, and began to steer the topic in the right direction, saying: "Tomorrow is the hunting competition, brother, are you nervous?" Although the ancients were required to learn horseback riding and archery.But after all, he is a civil servant, so he must have not practiced for a long time.
Yang Gu obviously didn't want to end this topic in a hurry, and reached out to take off the pawn in Yang Heng's hand.With a dark face, he said seriously: "Do you have someone you like?" This is not an ordinary question at all, but torture. "Why do you think so?" Yang Heng asked, and began to avoid this question. If he really wanted to answer it, then he didn't have it.
"At the banquet prepared by the emperor for you last time, you kept staring at the prime minister. Did you treat him..." Hearing this, Yang Heng was embarrassed. Fortunately, his skin was slightly darker, otherwise the red would overflow. Cai Jue didn't like it yet, but he rationally chose not to speak again, so as not to bring out Yang Gu's nagging nature.
Yang Gu looked at the silent Yang Heng, the anger in his heart grew bigger and bigger, and his tone began to smell of gunpowder: "He has a wife! How could you fall in love with him?!" Yang Heng said to Yang Gu who was about to explode. Questioning, a little confused, the other party's implication is that you can like it without a wife?But the most important thing now is to let Yang Gu calm down, otherwise today's matter will not be done, and sooner or later he will have to act to get the prime minister, then it will be impossible to continue to hide it.So she pretended to be depressed, and her magnetic voice became hoarse: "Brother, although he is married, I liked him before he was married. Do I not even have the right to continue to like him?"
When Yang Gu heard these words, his heart began to tremble.Why...why... This is the only voice in his head now, and it keeps repeating, making Yang Gu even lose the strength to hide the biggest secret in his heart.That's right, since he was a child, he has had an obsession with Yang Heng beyond normal brothers, and this obsession has been suppressed by Yang Gu. Why has he been suppressed?It is to allow Yang Gu to marry a wife and have children normally, and lead a stable life!
He had no choice but to marry a wife. After all, he was too old to refuse.But after he got married, he never touched his wife because of his Henger.For Heng'er, he even...killed his only wife. He has done so much, but now Yang Heng actually fell in love with Song Caijue...Why not Yang Gu?Obviously no one will love his Heng'er more than him.
Yang Gu's pupils shrank, and he trembled, "What?"
Although Yang Heng couldn't know about Yang Gu from the system, he now had an uncertain suspicion in his heart.Is it because of Yang Gu's exaggerated reaction?Could it be...
In order to confirm the conjecture in his heart, Yang Heng stretched out his hand to cover Yang Gu's hand, then squeezed it meaningfully, and said, "Brother's hands are so tender, how did you take care of them?"
Yang Gu's reaction was very interesting. First, he froze and didn't move his hand, just said "no" and it was over.Yang Heng felt that he seemed to know something important, and it would not be good if the atmosphere continued, so Yang Heng stood up straight, laughed and said, "I really envy you, brother, I really don't care for a rough-skinned and thick-skinned person like me." Same." After saying that, he withdrew his hand.Judging from Yang Gu's reaction, Yang Gu definitely... likes Yang Heng!No, the time should not be short, then, it should be love.
After so long, Yang Heng finally started talking about the hunting business. He picked up the rice paper next to him and began to write. After writing, he immediately gave it to Yang Gu, and also instructed Yang Gu to answer on the paper.After Yang Gu saw it, his eyes were full of surprise, and then he took a pen and continued to write under Yang Heng's words.
In the end, it took two full sheets of paper to stop. The two brothers looked at each other, and they both saw the confidence that was bound to be gained in each other's eyes.Yang Heng picked up the teapot and started pouring water on the two pieces of paper, then crumpled them up and threw them on the ground. "Brother, I will work hard for you this time."
The sun was shining brightly, and even the breeze that blew was hot, but this dynasty did not have short sleeves yet.However, even if you have short sleeves on a big occasion like hunting, don’t even think about wearing them, you have to make a grand appearance.Yang Heng was no exception, wearing light armor all his life, riding a group of black horses that he had specially ridden back from the border town, holding a bow and arrow in his hand to test its elasticity.
In just a short while, ministers and princes, including the ninth prince Song Caijue, came to greet him, but he wanted to maintain the false image of being cold and out of place in front of the suspicious old emperor, so as to reassure him, so they were all little The head dealt with it coldly.Of course, there are also many small officials who are familiar with him. It seems that the general's false name is still very useful.
Not far away, the prince looked at Yang Heng's strong physique and the bloody aura unique to those who had been on the battlefield, and felt that the two of them must be the top winners this time.He also drove his horse to Yang Heng's side, and approached enthusiastically: "General Yang, this time you have to be merciful and leave some prey for us people." Yang Heng stopped his movements, and responded enthusiastically: "Your Highness's skill It's not bad, please go hunting with me this time, we will definitely achieve good results together."
The emperor sitting on a high place looked at the two communicating with each other and smiled with satisfaction.
This is entirely the meaning of the crown prince's instruction. He just wanted Yang Heng to be by his side to protect him from backstabbing. Yang Heng naturally had no objection to this, and to be precise, he wished for it.
King Ying, who was riding a red horse, and King Lin, who was riding a white horse, both paid attention to Yang Heng's movements. They had different expressions when they heard Yang Heng said that he would "join forces with the prince".But Song Caijue, Yang Gu and other civil officials gathered on the other side on horseback in twos and threes, not approaching Yang Heng's side.
It wasn't until Emperor Jin Heng who was sitting at the top gave an order, that all of them whipped their horses and ran towards the hunting mountain.
