"Uncle, you don't need to be too polite." After the door closed, Chu Jun walked to the bed and stopped Fu Lin who was about to get out of bed to salute.

"Your Majesty." Fu Lin didn't get out of bed in the end, and bowed to Chu Jun with his hands folded.

"I came to see you." Chu Jun said, sitting on the stool beside his bed.

"The old minister is getting old, and his body will always feel uncomfortable. Your Majesty is busy with everything, so you shouldn't bother with mere ministers." Fu Lin said, there was something in his words, and there was a pun in his words.

But Chu Jun didn't seem to understand, and showed a rare smile and said: "Uncle is an important minister of the country. Uncle's body is related to my country and society, and it is a state affair."

"Your Majesty has broken the old minister." Fu Lin still said modestly.

Chu Jun took care of his clothes and robes, straightened the jade pendant around his waist, and said, "I am here today not for the emperor to visit a sick subject, but for a nephew to visit a sick uncle."

Fu Lin looked down at the quilt covering his body, and said in a deep voice, "Then, can your majesty listen to uncle?"

Chu Jun: "Uncle, please tell me."

Fu Lin pondered for a moment, seeming to organize his words, and then said: "I have heard about the matter between you and Tong Ran. Since ancient times, there have been many kings who favored men. It is not a big deal, but your majesty must not indulge in it. If it's because of..."

"Uncle," Chu Jun interrupted Fu Lin, "Tong Ran is not a boy favorite, he is my favorite person, and we already have a marriage contract." Chu Jun wanted to say a lifetime promise, but he felt that it was not enough in his heart, and secretly Changed the promise of the day into a marriage contract.

If you are a couple for a lifetime, you will be engaged by default.

Fu Lin was obviously taken aback, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, you know that your marriage is related to the fate of the country, and it can't be decided by a moment of passion!"

"Of course I didn't rely on my passion." Chu Jun said, "Uncle, regardless of gender and background, Tong Ran's character, knowledge, and ability are not outstanding? The queen of the sky is unprecedented. "

"That's not okay! As the king of a country, how can there be no heir to inherit the throne?" Fu Lin said excitedly.

Chu Jun's green eyes were deep, and he looked at Fu Lin and said, "My mother gave birth to my brother and me for my father. She was a queen but was persecuted by a noble concubine. She died in depression. My mother told me before she was alive that she also loved someone Instead of being happy with each other, she gave up her feelings and entered the palace for the sake of the Fu family. When the queen mother was dying, I asked her if she hated her father, the noble concubine, and the Fu family who sent her to the palace."

"What did she say?" Fu Lin blurted out.

He loved this younger sister since he was a child, but he didn't know that she still had such strong emotions hidden in her heart. The high palace wall separated her siblings from family and family, and also isolated her from all ordinary people's feelings.

"She said she didn't hate, she said she only hated herself, why didn't she insist on it?" Chu Jun said, thinking of all about his mother, her heartache became the strength to support him, "She also said that sometimes she would be a little envious of her father. The relationship with the imperial concubine, although they can't be a husband and wife, but they are in love, stronger than her, an empty shell queen."

Fu Lin muttered, but couldn't speak. The younger sister who had passed away for many years seemed to reappear in front of him. She was still running from the snow with a peach branch when she was a child. She smiled and called her brother, sweating all over her face. .

As soon as his thoughts turned, he thought of his haggard younger sister before she died. She held his hand tightly and told him: You must take good care of Jun'er, for sure.

At that time, the prince was dead, and she only had Chu Jun on her mind.

"I don't want to follow my mother's old path again, and I don't want to harm any innocent woman and follow her old path." Chu Jun said.

Fu Lin didn't answer, and stared blankly at his hands.

These hands are no longer as clean and slender as they were when they were young. There are already deep lines on them, the skin shows signs of withering, and the color of the back of the hands is much darker than when they were young.

A deep sense of powerlessness enveloped the first official of Dacheng. He thought that although his sister was unwilling, at least she had had a lot, but he didn't know that she... actually thought so.

After a long silence, Fu Lin said: "Your Majesty can also choose the woman you like. Even if you are not from a noble family, at least you can still have a son to inherit the throne. Or, Your Majesty will make Tong Ran the queen, and another woman will be admitted to the palace, and the concubine will inherit the throne." Nothing is impossible."

After listening quietly, Chu Jun shook his head and said, "There is no second choice. I want Tong Ran, only Tong Ran."

"The great position must not be inherited by anyone!" Fu Lin said, speaking very resolutely, this is his bottom line.

"There are still many young talents in the Chu family. If they are not worthy of the big responsibility, they can also be selected from the descendants of the Chu princesses. The blood inheritance will not be cut off." According to Tong Ran, blood can not only be passed on through the father, but also through the father. Mother, and if it is a princess' child, it can be 100% guaranteed to be of royal blood, after all, a child comes out of a woman's womb.

Fu Lin almost didn't come up in one breath, and shouted regardless of his image: "Absurd! Absurd! This is too absurd! This is a sign of national ruin! A sign of national ruin!"

"Uncle, don't get angry. When it comes to the choice of successor, I will be cautious and careful, and choose a capable and wise ruler to inherit the great line." Chu Jun said.

In fact, Tong Ran gave him another idea, but he didn't dare to provoke Fu Lin anymore—Tong Ran said that if the male offspring is not good enough, he can definitely establish a queen.

Chu Jun was taken aback when he heard this just now, which deviated too much from his cognition, and then he heard Tong Ran talk about the deeds of female monarchs such as "Empress Wu Zetian" and "Queen Victoria". Jun even began to feel that it was all right for a woman to succeed to the throne. For example, Chu Shuang showed a certain talent, which was no worse than most men.

With such a wide choice of heirs, it is not necessary for him to have heirs himself.

Fu Lin waited for a long time before barely maintaining his demeanor, and then said sharply: "Did Tong Ran come up with these ideas? Choosing an heir like this is not only against etiquette, but also creates disputes!"

"Etiquette was established by the ancients. Time has changed, and etiquette should also keep pace with the times." Chu Jun said, this is also the concept Tong Ran told him, "As for disputes, the second emperor brother is the same as the prince's brother Heir, won’t you fight to the death? Where there is power, there will be disputes, and it has nothing to do with whose heir it is.”

Fu Lin was almost speechless. In just two years, how could his nephew say so many things that he never thought about?

It must have been taught by Tong Ran!

This monster!

"Uncle is my only remaining family member. I hope to receive your blessing." Chu Jun said sincerely. His father, queen mother, prince and elder brother who watched him grow up have all gone, and his grandfather is still there, but it is also rare. , only my uncle can see it from time to time.

Fu Lin was silent. He hoped that Chu Jun would live well, but it was impossible for him to say this blessing.

After waiting for a while, Chu Jun sighed softly, got up and said, "It's almost noon, and I'm going to pick up Tong Ran back to the palace, so uncle can rest."

When Fu Lin heard the word Tong Ran, he almost got angry again, and gave Chu Jun a hard look without regard for etiquette.Chu Jun didn't seem to notice, chuckled lightly, and even bowed his hands in a junior salute, then turned and left.

Just like when he came, Chu Jun left in a soft sedan in a low-key manner, and did not have much communication with the rest of the Fu family.

Fu Lin heard the bustle outside gradually dissipating, and what Chu Jun had just said to him rang out again.When he thought of his sister, he was full of distress, but when he thought of Tong Ran, he felt angry and wanted to screw Tong Ran's head off.

The evildoer, the evildoer who bewitched his nephew!

The more Fu Lin thought about it, the angrier he became. He felt that this was not going to work, so he lifted the quilt and asked the servant outside to come in and change his clothes.

The door creaked and was pushed open. Fu Lin looked impatiently, wanting to urge the boy to hurry up, but saw his father, Fu Jing, the patriarch of the Fu family, standing at the door leaning on crutches.

"Father, why are you here?" Fu Lin was startled, and hurriedly went to help Mr. Fu to his seat, regardless of his disheveled clothes.

Chu Jun got off the carriage and walked towards the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry.

"Master Tong, don't leave yet, are you looking at my blueprint?"

"Don't pay attention to him, my lord, look at mine first!"

"Go away, my lord, look at the ideas of the three of us, they are more useful than theirs!"

The yamen of the Ministry of Industry is like a vegetable market, very lively.

Chu Jun walked to the entrance of the main hall, and Ren Jin didn't know where he went. The servants of the Ministry of Industry, Yuanwailang, the chief, and Ling Shi surrounded Tong Ran, and many of them had the so-called blueprints in their hands.

"Su Jin." Chu Jun said.

Su Jin immediately understood that although he didn't bring a whisk or wear the chief eunuch's robe, he still looked good, and stepped forward and shouted: "Your Majesty is here——"

"Which bastard..." Some people thought it was a lie, turned around cursing, and turned pale when they saw Chu Jun's green eyes, and quickly bent down and cupped their hands, "Your Majesty, forgive me, I will welcome you at a distance."

One person naturally has a second one. The noisy vegetable market of the Ministry of Industry finally quieted down. Officials turned around one after another, bowed and cupped their hands and said, "Your Majesty, Sheng'an."

Chu Jun ignored them, walked straight to the middle without saluting at all, and even turned to hug the little tiger Tong Ran.

"Are you hungry? Go back to have dinner with me." Chu Jun said.

Tong Ran picked up the sleeping cub, stroked the fur on its back, put the tiger into Chu Jun's arms and said, "Okay, you can hold it for a while, the cub has died again, and has been sleeping all the time."

All the officials who bent down to salute listened, and those who were brave even took a sneak peek. Mr. Tong and His Majesty are really like a young couple, and the tiger is like their child.

Chu Jun took over his tiger form with some embarrassment, grabbed Tong Ran with the other hand, and led him out of the yamen.

The Ministry of Industry behind him first sent them off in unison, and soon after, there were whispers, Chu Jun ignored him, took Tong Ran into the car, and then put the little tiger on the cushion beside him.

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?" Tong Ran observed Chu Jun.

Chu Jun said: "You came to the Ministry of Industry again early in the morning?"

"Well, Ren Jin said that they have designed a lot of new gadgets. I'll take a look. But I didn't see much. What did you do at the dinner party last night? Why did they all ask me about you? Some people even asked If I get married, will I wear a phoenix robe? Chu Jun, tell the truth, what did you do last night?"

The more Tong Ran talked, the more angry he was. He just came to the Ministry of Industry to have a look today. He didn't expect to be gossiped for a long time. The usually fierce little tiger was still sleeping, so he couldn't use it as a shield.

Thinking of what happened last night, Chu Jun couldn't help but chuckled, pulled the angry Tong Ran into his arms, kissed him on the mouth and said, "It's almost time to tell the world."
