Three anecdotes

On the day when Uncle Jiang broke the title of Uncle Jiang in Beidi, as a token of his kindness, the present Holy Majesty specially honored Uncle Jiang's parents.

Uncle Jiang bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, knocking the golden bricks of Chonghe Hall, "Your Majesty, I have two fathers, can I seal them both?"

Liang Xiaowen Emperor Shang Chenghuan loved him honestly and purely filial piety, although the etiquette was presumptuous, but the situation was pitiful, and the court agreed.

Uncle Jiang kowtowed again, "Your Majesty is really a good man, just like what my second uncle said! Can you also seal my second uncle? My father said that the family is not short of money. Now that the treasury is abundant, new rice will be put into the warehouse again. Give the old rice to the family of the last general, and give porridge to the village."

Emperor Xiaowen's expression changed.The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty also felt that this newly-appointed Loyal Uncle was a bit aggressive. Even if Beidi was repelled and Xichengdong's ambition was thwarted, in the end, he started his business without any foundation. .There are also people who think that Uncle Jiang, who is outspoken and hides traitors, really believes that the Holy One likes loyal and pure people, so he deliberately pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, but he doesn't want to be self-defeating, and they just want to see how he ends up.

But he didn't want Emperor Xiaowen to order him to come to speak, and he asked, "I have been on the throne for nine years, and I have worked hard to govern, and I dare not slack off in the slightest. Is there anyone who can't eat enough?"

Jiang Shitou said, "My second uncle said that the world is so big, there are thieves inside, there are powerful countries outside, natural disasters continue, bandits are chaotic, and it is not bad to be like this. The emperor is a good emperor, don't push yourself too much .”

Emperor Xiaowen remained silent.

The streets were full of civil and military officials, who prayed and apologized, "I will wait for ten thousand deaths."

Jiang Shitou rubbed his head, "Your majesty, everyone says hello to you, even my second father said that you are better than Shang Chengbi and Cardinal Jin when you become emperor." As soon as he said this, Wu Yangyang knelt down. The local civil and military dare not even say ten thousand deaths, the whole hall is as silent as a cicada, and needles can be heard.On the contrary, Shang Chenghuan said, "Emperor Xian and King Zhuang have their own martial arts, I just want to catch up with Gaozu, and abide by the court's precepts."

"My emperor is holy!" Jiang Shitou chased his tail amidst the voices of praise, and echoed with a loud voice, "Ming."

Shang Chenghuan said, "Dazheng is so loyal and upright. It was because of his family education. When will I meet Dazheng's elders and listen to the people's honest words."

Jiang Dazheng Uncle Jiang wanted to say that my father, my second father and my second uncle probably don't want to see you, but after all, he is just straight and not stupid, so he didn't say it in this hall.

Uncle Jiang was indeed a noble family. After the early court, the emperor specially stayed in the palace for dinner to see that he ate deliciously. Emperor Xiaowen also used two extra bowls.

Empress Zhao said when she was in bed at night, "Only Jiang Dazheng, a native of Lu, wins the emperor's heart in this civil and military dynasty."

Emperor Xiaowen said softly, "People from Lu?" No more words.

Empress Zhao was born in a scholarly family. Although she is a noble family, her family has no authority. She has been married to Emperor Xiaowen for four years. Knowing that he seems to be kind and generous, but in fact he is arbitrary, and he doesn't like the harem to interfere in politics. I don't dare to say more about it, but today I saw that Shang Chenghuan rarely used two bowls of rice so he dared to joke. At this moment, he can tell the color from his appearance, and he knows that his comfortable life in the palace is too abrupt, and he is afraid that Fengxing will think that she intends to spy on her. Sacred Heart hurriedly laughed and said, "If the emperor can eat two more bowls of rice every day, it will be a blessing in the harem. Concubine Rong and her sister are pressing against the small kitchen every day, and the emperor is busy with various affairs and government affairs every day. Do your best in these little things of food and clothing.”

Shang Conghuan said, "Since Zitong said so, let's go to Zhaofu Palace tomorrow."

"Yes." Empress Zhao carefully helped him take off his clothes, knowing that she was talking too much, so she didn't dare to show her face.Fortunately, Concubine Rong was mentioned by himself, and the emperor really didn't blame himself deeply, but in the future, he had to fulfill his duty, be cautious in his words and deeds, and not be frivolous just because the emperor respected her and made the harem harmonious.

"Father, Second Father, Second Uncle, Shitou is back!" Jiang Shitou entered the house with two big axes, three times into the three-room mansion, and an extremely handsome man was chopping firewood at the door. "Second uncle went to the doctor, your second father is still in the school, and there are pancakes in the pot." This man has sharp eyebrows and fierce eyes, quite powerful, even though the brows are restrained, he is still domineering, and he speaks very homely words However, that grandeur is greater than commanding thousands of troops.

Shi Shi grinned, "Father go and rest, I'll chop."

The man frowned, his appearance was so impressive that even the sky and the earth seemed to be dark, "Why is it so late at court? Your second father said that you must have not eaten breakfast, and specially left scallion pancakes with thousands of layers."

Shi Shi said, "It was early, the emperor asked me to eat." Speaking of this, he seemed to think of something, "Father, the emperor promised me to give you and my second father and uncle an official position, but when I was eating, The emperor wanted to appoint his own father as an official, so he told me to speak first, but I didn't say anything. Although the emperor didn't look unhappy, I'm afraid you and your second father will have to wait for the official position." Shitou took the ax as he spoke. Come on, "It's better for me to do the chopping, so that you don't have to dodge your waist again, and you won't be able to move at night, and you think I'm helping my second father."

The domineering man himself heard him say that the emperor also wanted to appoint his father as an official and was about to ask what was going on, but suddenly he heard him say something indecent, and kicked Jiang Shitou on the ass, "You have been fighting for a long time to beat people!" , I want to taste what it's like to be beaten again."

Jiang Shitou chuckled, chopping firewood, "I have rough skin and thick flesh."

The domineering man said, "Shang Chenghuan wants to give Shang Quhan an honorary title? Wait for your second father to come back, and talk about it carefully." After saying that, he turned and went into the house, "Chop up the twenty bundles in the backyard before eating."

"Hey!" Jiang Shishitou danced vigorously with an ax and waited for his father to enter the house before cursing, "Well, since I fished you out of the river ten years ago, you have been in poor health. , I didn’t go to the root after all, what’s wrong with my son being filial to my father, my asthma is already suffering haha, if my waist is not good, my second father can’t work hard. I have a small stomach and intestines, and my whole body is only as big as my head. If it’s not for me The second father is considerate, so he won't help you chop the firewood." Jiang Shitou raised the axe, chopped and tied all the firewood in front of him in a moment, tied seven or eight bundles, and carried it to the backyard with one hand.He was born with supernatural strength, and he held a 250-jin double ax with one hand without any effort.In less than a moment, all the firewood in the backyard was split, tied tightly, and neatly stacked.

Jiang Shitou washed his hands and was about to go to the kitchen to eat pancakes, but he suddenly felt something, and rushed to the door after a few ups and downs, and a man who looked very elegant and handsome approached, wearing a cloth gauze crown and a wooden hairpin. It is clear, meaningful, and unparalleled in style.

Jiang Shitou laughed so hard that his back molars were exposed, he rushed up and untied the bookcase on the man's back, "Second Dad, it's really early in school today, you're back!"

The handsome man also smiled when he saw Jiang Shitou. When he was not smiling, he was already handsome and handsome. At this moment, there was a smile in his eyes, just like the beginning of ice, the new spring water, a pair of pupils reflecting the light and wind In Jiyue, a little bit of cinnabar pierced through the cloudy sky, and people couldn't take their eyes off. This kind of flirtatiousness can only be tolerated, who else can there be except Cardinal Jin.He and Shang Chengbi Chu Yiqing lived here in seclusion for nearly ten years. Shang Chengbi personally worked the woodcutters and farmed, and Cardinal Jin taught the village school in the west. The two lived here in seclusion, away from the hustle and bustle, very comfortable.

At this moment, Shang Chengbi also came out and heard him ask his son, "Is there enough pancake?"

Shang Chengbi greeted him and came in, "I figured that these days I'm busy harvesting wheat, and the school is full of middle-aged and middle-aged students. You must ask them to go back earlier to help. Today, school ends earlier than usual."

Cardinal Jin nodded lightly, "A year's hard work only refers to these few days. If you don't know the crops and mulberry, you don't understand the hardships of your parents. No matter how much you read, it's useless."

Shang Chengbi nodded slightly, "That's right."

After entering the room and sitting down, Shang Chengbi tried the tea with the back of his hand and brought it to him when it wasn't hot. Cardinal Jin took a sip before saying, "Finished the field work?"

Shang Chengbi said, "You distributed all the land to the poor. We didn't do much. I harvested it at five o'clock. I'm afraid you came back early today, so I came back to make food first." Pointing to his son, he said, "Don't worry, it was fast under my hand, but now the stone has returned, ten days is enough."

Cardinal Jin took another sip of tea before saying, "Brother told me that you should not be too tired on such a hot day, and it's better to come back earlier."

Shang Chengbi said, "Yesterday you said you wanted to eat Brahmin light high noodles, and I steamed them." He directed Shitou, "Go serve the rice."

Jiang Shitou agreed to go to the kitchen, and when he heard his second father tell his father that the steamed noodles were too hot to make, he might be bored in the kitchen, and told him not to cook them in such a hot day, he couldn't help but curse, and he didn't work in the field, chopping firewood. It's not neat, I cook at home every day, and I don't do this kind of work, so my father can only eat and drink at home.Alas, the second father is so good-looking and reads a lot. The old and young people in the village don’t know how much they respect the second father. I heard that my father was not good to the second father before. Jiang Shitou wanted to say something to his father, he should treat you well , don't feel sorry for him.

Shang Chengbi picked up the cattail fan beside the table and fanned Cardinal Jin. The sound of cocks crowing and dogs barking came from the backyard, and the cool wind gently blew Cardinal Jin's hair. The cattail fan, the fragrance of Cardinal Jin's hair diffused in front of his eyes, seeing his ten-year-old face again, he couldn't help calling him, "Chonghua——"

Cardinal Jin closed the door and let him wait on him. When he heard his call, he didn't open his eyes, but responded softly in his throat, "Huh?"

Shang Chengbi stretched out his hand to hold his flying hair, "I just want to hear you respond to me."

Cardinal Jin didn't turn his head, his double pupils rolled around, and he gave him a glare.

Shang Chengbi said, "I added some cassia seeds to today's tea, you read too late last night, don't hurt your eyes."

While talking, Jiang Shitou brought out a large pot of steamed noodles, and four other light side dishes, crisp fresh lotus root, tender yellow flowers, white tofu, and a little green onion.Cardinal Jin smiled and said, "This thing is rare."

Shang Chengbi said, "Brother just brought this back from Xinglong Mountain. I marinated it and left it. It just starts to open today. How about you try it." As he said that, he personally helped him serve the noodles, and took another chopstick Sha onion to him.

Cardinal Jin looked at his son first, "Give me a stone for your father." Then he took a sip, "Not bad."

Shang Chengbi immediately became happy. At this moment, he seemed to be more satisfied than he once offered auspicious auspiciousness in the Qinyong Hall to praise the peace of the world. He focused on looking at Cardinal Jin and adding food to him. Only the gentleness of a porridge and a meal is left.

There are all kinds of things in the past, but at this moment, you are by my side, willing to forge swords into plows, and able to cook rice and tea every day. It is a good sentence, God is so favored, what can I ask for.

The family of three just finished eating, Jiang Shitou cleaned up the dishes, Cardinal Jin and Shang Chengbi took a leisurely break, went to the eaves side by side to watch the nesting swallows, and went to the pond to tease the big silly geese who were raising and playing. Looking at the stupid tortoise that had been raised for ten years in front of the tank, Cardinal Jin felt that it was almost time, so he went back with Shang Chengbi, while Jiang Shitou stood in the main room and waited for his second father to come back to check his homework.

Shang Chengbi and Cardinal Jin sat together, Jiang Shitou served tea to both father and second father, but there was no tea in the cup, only clear water, standing respectfully opposite.

Shang Chengbi looked at Cardinal Jin, "Don't worry about homework, Shang Chenghuan saved a stone for dinner today—" He said looking at his son, "Talk to your second father."

"Yes." So Jiang Shitou answered Shang Chenghuan's question [-] times, "The emperor praised me first, saying that I have high martial arts skills and good art of war. It really is a family tradition."

Hearing the word "family origin", Shang Chengbi and Cardinal Jin glanced at each other, but remained calm.

Jiang Shitou continued, "I'll just say, I dare not say that, even if I have strength, my father and second father often say that I don't read military books, but can only use strength. Fortunately, the emperor's blessing was entrusted to me on the battlefield. Use your life to beat back the Di people."

Cardinal Jin was silent, Shang Chengbi said, "It's good to know. How is your "Taibai Yin Jing" reading?"

Jiang Shitou didn't answer, but instead looked at Cardinal Jin eagerly. Cardinal Jin said, "Your father asked you about your homework, why shouldn't you?"

Jiang Shitou didn't look at Shang Chengbi, but looked at Cardinal Jin with a pitiful look, "The chapter of "Dun Jia" is not clear yet."

Cardinal Jin smiled slightly as he picked up the tea, took a sip of water, and put down the teacup.

Jiang Shitou said with a shy face, "Second father, there are many references to the "Taibai Yin Jing" in your "Nine Palaces". Shitou went to war before he could explain it. Tell me again." Jin Jin The cardinal's Art of War "Liyuan Miscellaneous" took the meaning of "casting swords as agricultural tools, and herding cattle and horses in the wild". The book is divided into nine volumes and 33 chapters. The cardinal talked about the art of war with Jiang Shitou, including astrology, gazing, and weapons, but he didn't talk about these mysterious and mysterious things. Today, he rushed Shang Chengbi to ask, and Jiang Shitou got grinded again.

Cardinal Jin raised his head and asked, "Shitou, something happened to him, but it was because of him. The speaker not only knows what happened, but also knows why he did it. How about it?"

Jiang Shitou lowered his head, "Those who do so are in danger."

This is a saying in "Speaking of Difficulties", which means that the king wants to do this thing on the surface, but in his heart he wants to use it to accomplish other things. The person who speaks not only knows what the king is doing, but also knows what he wants to do. The intention to do it, what will be the consequences.Jiang Shitou was taught by Cardinal Jin, and he was familiar with the sayings of the scholars when he was young. How could he not be able to answer such a simple question.

Cardinal Jin continued to serve tea, without speaking, Shang Chengbi said, "Shang Chenghuan knew your identity a long time ago, but pretended not to know it. You know that your second father and I live here in seclusion and don't care about world affairs, so why did you attract him?" Ask the two of us again and again. How capable are you that you dare to plan Shang Fengxing in your heart?"

Shang Chengbi's face sank, he was looking at the pressure of Mount Tai, and he didn't look cowardly flying arrows on the Jiangshitou battlefield, but now he was sweating.

Cardinal Jin sat up straight, and put the teacup on the table casually. When the lid of the tea touched the cup, there was a soft sound, and Jiang Shitou immediately knelt down, "Second dad—!"

Cardinal Jin was still calm and calm, Shang Chengbi said, "I heard you entangle me, what did Shang Chenghuan say?"

Jiang Shitou quietly raised his eyes and peeked at Cardinal Jin. Cardinal Jin cast a condescending glance at him, "One five ten, kneel down and say."

Jiang Shitou knelt on the ground, drooped his neck, and whispered, "He said, yes, that's great."

Shang Chengbi heard him squeak and was about to have a fit when Cardinal Jin lifted the teacup, and Shang Chengbi's expression softened immediately, "Shall I go get some water?"

Cardinal Jin nodded, and Shang Chengbi got up to add water.

Cardinal Jin just sat quietly, and Jiang Shitou fainted unconsciously.

Shang Chengbi brought the teacup over and handed it to Cardinal Jin, "Be careful it's hot."

Cardinal Jin didn't drink, just gently pushed the tea cover, Jiang Shitou shrank his neck and said again, "The emperor heard me talking about father and second father, and said, it's a blessing to have someone in charge."

Shang Chengbi snorted.

Cardinal Jin remained silent.Jiang Shitou continued, "Shitou didn't dare to speak indiscriminately, so he just smirked."

Cardinal Jin still just listened quietly, Jiang Shitou said, "Then the emperor gave the banquet. He only asked if the food suits his appetite, and asked what Shitou ate at home and who cooked it."

Shang Chengbi said, "He has too much control."

Jiang Shitou said, "I just said, the big guy eats whatever he likes, the second father likes sweet food, and the second uncle likes light food. The emperor asked, what about your father, what does he like to eat. I said, I don't know." , My second father eats whatever he eats, he doesn’t pick, he eats anything.”

Shang Chengbi said, "Choose what matters."

Jiang Shitou said in a low voice, "Second father said, make everything clear."

Shang Chengbi was about to have a fit, Jiang Shitou hurriedly said, speaking quickly, "We will get to the point soon, the emperor said that fathers are kind, sons are filial, parents love children, and parents love children. It's filial piety—" He quickly glanced at Cardinal Jin, "Unfortunately, I don't have this blessing."

Only then did Cardinal Jin speak, "So, he said, let you write a letter to be King Jingbian's honorary title."

Jiang Shitou immediately knelt straight, "Yes. The emperor said that when the second uncle brought his father's last instruction, he would not enter the imperial mausoleum and be honored. He would like to bury his bones in yellow sand and guard the frontier fortress for Daliang for generations. He will live up to the name of Jingbian. I have been on the throne for nine years, and I dare not give a little court training. I am sleepy all night, and I am often afraid that I will not be able to continue my ambition of restoration, and I will fall into the emperor's prestige. However, now there are wise people to assist the prime minister, and there are loyal people like Dazheng outside. To consolidate the country, I sit in the palace every day, thinking of my father who is only accompanied by the vast sandy waves every day, and deeply feel that I am extremely unfilial. Dazheng is also a person of pure filial piety, so you should deeply understand my heart."

Shang Chengbi secretly thought in his heart that the hypocrisy of the businessman's father and son was indeed the same, and asked Jiang Shitou, "What do you say?"

Jiang Shitou knelt, "How dare I say it, I will say that King Jingbian is loyal and courageous. He is a model general. I, the soldiers of Daliang, are all proud of King Jingbian and of being loyal to the emperor." Speaking of this, Jiang Shitou Relentless, he looked up at Cardinal Jin, "Second dad, the emperor was not happy at the time, but he patted me on the shoulder with a smile and said—" He paused for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Three uncles Raise you well, Stone, eat more meat."

Shang Chengbi kicked Jiang Shitou over with one kick.

Cardinal Jin said lightly, "What does he do when he has a seizure, you already know the moment he opens his mouth."

Jiang Shitou hurriedly got up and knelt at the feet of Cardinal Jin, "Second father, Shitou knew he was wrong. But the emperor already knew about your old man, otherwise, how could he let me go out without worry? Second father, if second uncle knows that the emperor is going to give King Jingbian will definitely be upset, and Shishi can't help it either, so you should think of a way."

Cardinal Jin took another sip of water, and glanced at Jiang Shitou, "King Jingbian is only a vassal king for a day before he is honored. Even if he is the emperor's biological father, how can he be called the emperor. If the emperor loses his dignity, you will How can it be the duty of a minister to be in front of you without knowing how to advise him?" As he said that, he looked at Shang Chengbi, "You beat him thirty sticks and tell him to go to Shang Fengxing to plead guilty. Just say——Raise or not teach, father's But, even if Shishi was not born to us, we can’t forget to discipline him just because he’s promising and ennobled, lest he act recklessly without knowing the rules and lose his father’s dignity.”

Jiang Shitou raised his head, "Second father!"

Cardinal Jin put down the tea bowl, "Forty."

Cardinal Jin gave an order, what else did Jiang Shitou say.Obediently went to hug the long bench in the yard and lay down, grabbed the legs of the bench with both hands, and puffed out his cheeks, waiting for a beating.

Shang Chengbi came over with a stick as thick as a rolling pin, lifted his back, and when the first stick was hit, Jiang Shitou yelled, "It hurts, ouch!"

Shang Chengbi hit Jiang Shitou hard with a stick, until Jiang Shitou's ass was smoking, and he shouted, "Shut up!"

Jiang Shitou ignored it, and yelled again, "Two! Oh! It hurts!"

Shang Chengbi hit another stick. What kind of strength is he? Three sticks down, it really hurts. Jiang Shitou's cry became softer, but the sound of gasping became louder, pitifully, "It hurts, 嚄—— Ouch three!"

Cardinal Jin put down the teacup, got up and turned his head, and before leaving, he told Shang Chengbi, "Call another sixty."

When the fourth stick went down, the buttocks seemed to be sunken, but Jiang Shitou didn't dare to yell anymore. Cardinal Jin stood by the door curtain and listened to it a few more times, making sure Shitou wouldn't yell anymore, and said, "Think about it, wrong!" Where are you?" After speaking, he lifted the door curtain and left.

Jiang Shitou listened to his second father's instructions, hugged his hands even tighter, poked his head on the bench and thought about what he did wrong.

Since Shang Chengbi moved his family law, he was naturally merciless, and the solid stick fell down one after another, and after only ten blows, Jiang Shitou was really in pain.

"Father, I was wrong." I didn't mean to tell people to listen to it at this moment, even if it's brass and iron, it hurts to be beaten.

Shang Chengbi said, "Listen to your second father's orders and think carefully!" As he spoke, he hit him again.

Jiang Shitou was in pain, and a pea-sized bead of sweat hit the green brick in the house.I just didn't dare to ask for forgiveness again, thinking about where I was wrong.

Dad is right, the emperor has known his identity for a long time, but there is no king in the world, he has repeatedly experienced military achievements as soon as he joined the army, and his martial arts skills are not bad. If such a person appeared out of thin air, Shangfeng must investigate At that time, the Di people suddenly violated the frontier, silently, led three hundred border people to repel the five hundred cavalry of the Di people, and also saw the intention of Beidi to unite with the Karako tribe, and sent them to the neighboring counties. News, a catastrophe has been avoided, if the emperor does not investigate himself, he will not have the rule of light and culture for the past ten years.What's more, the second father, the second uncle, and the others never tried to hide their tracks.I heard that the emperor wrote letters to his second uncle, third uncle, and younger uncle every month. His father and second father raised him. He probably knew it before he emerged.It's just that they haven't broken it all the time.But, this time, why did the emperor want to break it, "Oh!" Just thinking about the key point, the stick actually hit the old wound, another round, Jiang Shitou really hurt.

"Sixty." Shang Chengbi said.

Jiang Shitou panicked, "Father, Daddy, Shitou made a mistake, Shitou didn't call out on purpose, so please forgive me."

Shang Chengbi remained silent and continued to fight.

Jiang Shitou was in pain and anxious, his face flushed, "Daddy, daddy, daddy! Kiss daddy!"

Shang Chengbi hit a few more sticks, only to beat Jiang Shitou's feet back and forth on the ground like a web for paddling, and said, "Your second father's order, do you dare not listen?"

Jiang Shitou grabbed the bench leg tightly, "Then you hit it."

Shang Chengbi raised his hand, and he didn't slap it so hard again. Jiang Shitou was so painful that he almost jumped off the stool.

Shang Chengbi called again, "Have some fun! Don't play tricks with your second father."

Jiang Shitou thought, how dare I.No matter who told him to teach everything, Qimen Dunjia didn't reveal anything, if he didn't know how to do it, it's fine, but whoever leads a soldier doesn't want to learn the technique of the Nine Palaces, guarding such a strange person as Er Dae is like relying on a treasure mountain , he clearly has a wing of [-] miles, but he still teaches you to crawl up and down on all fours. Don't worry if you say you are in a hurry.

Shang Chengbi was another stick, "If you don't think about other things, you won't be able to finish the beating today."

Jiang Shitou thought, you didn't bring it up first, but the back of the head was turned upside down and the pain was burning, so he didn't dare to be stubborn, so he obediently lay down and suffered the pain, thinking that it was his fault.

Shang Chengbi didn't really hit him sixty times, but withdrew after hitting forty, "Tell your second father about it."

Jiang Shitou is really a master who forgets to eat but not to fight, and he is happy immediately after losing [-] minutes, "Thank you dad! Thank you second dad!"

Shang Chengbi snorted, and conveniently put the stick behind the case. Jiang Shitou struggled several times, and finally got up from the stool, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous. He took several breaths, gritted his teeth, and limped forward. Putting the stool back to its original place, he dragged his two legs that he couldn't even lift into it, and as soon as he entered the door, he knelt down in front of Cardinal Jin, "Second Father, Shitou admitted his mistake, well done!"

Cardinal Jin stood in front of the painting "Xiang Zhuang Sword Dance" with his hands behind his back, "Then tell me, what's so good about it."

Cardinal Jin asked where the good news was, and Jiang Shitou will be there.The second father ordered the beating, so it must be the right and good beating, but what is the good thing, Shitou was dumbfounded, Cardinal Jin turned around, Jiang Shitou was so frightened that he accidentally bit his tongue, and said "uh" in pain One sound.

Cardinal Jin had a smile in his eyes, but his expression remained calm. Shitou thought that his second father misunderstood that he was not thinking about it, and quickly explained, "I, I shouldn't deliberately lead the emperor to talk nonsense, I was wrong."

Cardinal Jin stood there condescendingly, seeing Jiang Shitou's scalp numb, and his heart pounding. After watching for a while, he said, "Get up."

Jiang Shitou grinned and rubbed his knees, "Shitou is not tired."

Cardinal Jin took a deep look at him, and Jiang Shitou got up quickly. As soon as he moved, he took two breaths of cold air behind him in pain.

Cardinal Jin walked up to a few steps and sat down. Jiang Shitou also limped along. Cardinal Jin paused. In the pot on the table, "Second father is not thirsty, stone will pour tea for second father."

Cardinal Jin just asked, "In your opinion, what kind of heart is Shang Fengxing, the Shang Zun."

When Jiang Shitou heard his second father asking about serious matters, he also became serious, and carefully recalled the situation at that time, "The power of heaven is unpredictable, although you are not very old today, but—" he considered his words, "Today's actions are often unexpected. He also has his own rules, until the last moment, often no one can understand his intentions. After nine years of practice, no one dares to make a judgment, and even stones dare not speculate randomly. However, when he mentioned the late King Jingbian, he was really sad , respect, bewilderment, seems to be a little guilty, it can be said that I have mixed feelings."

Cardinal Jin didn't answer, but thought in his heart that the stone really had benefited. Shang Conghuan's deep scheming really made him talk for a while. In the situation at that time, it could be said that Shang Quhan wanted to die with all his heart. It goes without saying, but most of it is definitely for this only son. Shang Conghuan was ignorant before, and now he has been sitting above ten thousand people for ten years, so he should understand.Cardinal Jin looked at him, "You should understand that our emperor has a big heart."

Jiang Shitou said, "Yes." At this point, he became ruthless again, and continued, "The ambition is not small."

Cardinal Jin raised his eyelids, and Jiang Shitou immediately knelt down, lowered his head, and dared not speak.

Cardinal Jin said in a deep voice, "Since you understand, you should know that Shang Quhan and your three uncles are his reverse scales and dragon scales, which cannot be easily touched."

Jiang Shitou lowered his head and did not speak.

Cardinal Jin said, "It seems that you understand."

Jiang Shitou rubbed the two straight sleeves sewn by his second father himself, and said in a small voice, "He's not bad as an emperor. Look, it's so pitiful."

Cardinal Jin doubled his pupils, "Oh?"

Shi Shi took two steps towards his knees, "Second father, the emperor is—"

Cardinal Jin stretched out his hand and pulled away the hem that was almost pressed by his knees, "Shang Fengxing, he has grown up." After sighing, he said, "He is the emperor, sitting on the world, do you pity him?"

Jiang Shitou said, "I know that some of the things he told me may not be true, but the emperor really respects the second uncle and the others. Every time I mention the second uncle, he will either stop or stop, no matter what he is doing. But for my father and my second father, there is no such thing. He is the emperor, so he can’t do it too clearly, but he has done his best. One person can pretend once or twice, how to pretend to be ten or eight years, the second father also said , even if he is a hypocrite, as long as he can be a hypocrite for a lifetime, there is no difference between him and a real gentleman. Moreover, he has the kindness to know Shitou, whether it is from the second uncle or Jiangshan Sheji."

Cardinal Jin was silent.

Jiang Shitou said, "When Shitou first sealed off a hundred households, he was thinking of his father and his second father. He is now the emperor, the hero of King Jingbian, who defended the land and opened up the frontier. Thinking about Wei Wen and Jin Wu, it doesn't count." ——" Shitou said this, suddenly realized that he had gone too far, and stopped daring to speak again.

Cardinal Jin thought, Shitou was raised by the three of us since we were young, but we have only met him a few times, and we have admired him so much. Even knowing that he is using him, he is willing to be his pioneer. Shang Conghuan is really a born emperor, but , Shitou is simple and straightforward, how can he know what the real heart of heaven is unpredictable, now the world has been peaceful for ten years, Shitou has just defeated Beidi, Shang Feng has all kinds of martial arts, and he wants to be honored at this time, he will really find an opportunity to see Shitou's appearance , in the DPRK, I am afraid that there will not be many people who oppose it.I just don't know how sad it must be for my brother to know.

Jiang Shitou knelt down with his neck curled up, seeing that Cardinal Jin didn't speak, he became more and more frightened, "Second father, Shitou—" He muttered a few words, but couldn't say anything, so he said, "Shitou doesn't understand anything, it's nonsense. , what the second father said to do, the stone will do."

Cardinal Jin suddenly turned his head and looked at him, "Do you really not understand anything? Emperor Liang Xian and King Zhuang of Chu, one is tyrannical and out of justice, the other is stealing from the country. If there is no father and son of Shang Qinhan inheriting the fate of heaven and earth, how can there be such a ten-year life?" Taiping—”

Shitou hurriedly kowtowed, "Second father, that's not the case, Shitou didn't mean that, how could Shitou dare, dare not!" He kowtowed his head loudly.

Cardinal Jin waved his sleeves and brushed his acupoints, "I'm not trying to suppress you with filial piety. After a hundred years, there will be historical commentary on this paragraph of right and wrong. You, me, your father, including him, Shang Fengxing, can't cover the sky with one hand. You tomorrow Go to ask for leave, just take my words with you, don’t worry about it.” Then, he raised his hand again, and untied his acupoints, “Go to the yard on your knees, don’t hide here to hide from the sun.”

"Yes."
