What else can I order besides this? "

Liu Hai clenched his fists and shook his head.

Chen Kun said: "In that case, may I ask if Your Highness will be able to leave for the capital today? This subordinate came from the capital to meet His Highness after following the late Emperor's last order, and specially obtained a letter. He also asked His Highness to return to Beijing to observe filial piety for the late Emperor. Show the world."

Liu Hai was taken aback, and raised his eyes to look at Gui Hai's knife, seeing that his eyes were looking at his nose, his nose was looking at his heart, and he didn't have the slightest intention to speak for him, and his heart sank.Busily looking at Wu Zonglun, seeing his eyes were red and he was in pain and embarrassment, his heart was even more cold.

"Ben Gong, Ben Gong..." Before he was able to deal with it calmly, he was taught repeatedly all the way back to the sea, but now he was completely confused, seeing Chen Kun looking at him with a smile on his face, he couldn't answer a word.

Chen Kun said again: "Since His Highness has no objection, the subordinates will make arrangements now."

He turned around and called out the names of several subordinates, ordering tasks one by one, and it seemed that he was really about to open the way.

Liu Hai anxiously said: "No! That... Wu clan has not been released, I can't leave!"

Chen Kun smiled again: "Your Highness wants to see them before leaving? Then this subordinate will order them to come in."

Wu Zonglun carefully looked at the Wu clan members who came in one by one. It seemed that they had been redeemed long ago, and they made arrangements to wait for orders near the garrison camp at any time.Although everyone was terrified, their bodies were clean and tidy, and they didn't look like they were captured or suffered serious crimes as the rumors said.

The leader was actually Mrs. Wu. He was overjoyed to see Wu Zonglun kneeling on the ground. After kneeling down to salute, he raised his eyes to see Prince Chu sitting on the seat, and his eyes almost popped out of his sockets.

"Zong Lun...this woodcutter...you...?"

She was about to ask questions for a while, but Chen Kun stared and shouted: "Who dares to make noise in front of His Highness King Chu?!"

Fortunately, ever since the first daughter Dai Zui was sent to guard the imperial mausoleum, in order to save her daughter these days, Mrs. Wu has been doing a little bit of hiding everywhere, and her arrogance has dropped a lot, so she said weakly: "The old man is probably old and dim-sighted, so he mistaken the prince As someone else, I hope the prince forgives the crime, and the factory governor forgives the crime."

Chen Kun sneered: "Old and dim-sighted? How could you, a commoner woman, mistake the prince's body of gold at will? Come, slap your mouth!"

"Wait! Dugong Chen, don't slap your mouth!"

Chen Kun thought of the disparity in life experiences of the two people in the report, and secretly thought that His Royal Highness seemed to be an honest and kind person, and he was afraid that he would be bullied by his mother-in-law. Today, he wanted to give him a chance to show kindness, and put on a straight face: "Your Highness thinks it's too much of a slap in the face. Light? This subordinate will ask someone to drag her down and beat her hard."

"Don't!" Liu Hai stood up: "Don't hit me, Dugong, did you forget? Just now, I said that this Lord Wu and the Wu family have kindness to me. You, you are not allowed to hurt them!"

Chen Kun looked loyal and patriotic: "If you let them go, will your Highness go with his subordinates?"

Before Liu Hai could answer, Wu Zonglun could no longer hold back: "Your Highness, Your Highness has long since repaid Wu's kindness. Your Highness must not think about others anymore, just think about protecting yourself!"

Liu Hai stared blankly at Wu Zonglun, and finally couldn't help shedding tears, but he said to Chen Kun: "If, if I say, Master Chen, I am not willing to go back to Beijing with you, I am willing to give up my status as a prince... ...Can you let me go back to be a little woodcutter, and never pursue this matter again?"

It's a pity that Chen Kun just admired the crystal clear tears falling from Liu Hai's beautifully shaped eyes with admiration, and secretly said: Tsk tsk, our Highness, don't talk about King Yan's harem, just look for it all over the world. I'm afraid that there is no other beauty who is more pitiful and charming than him!

But he replied casually, "Okay."

Both Wu Zonglun and Liu Hai were taken aback.

"Of course the governor is willing to fulfill his wish. I'm afraid that when he returns to Beijing to return to his command, King Yan asks about this matter and mentions that a woodcutter wants to pretend to be the emperor's relatives. The governor went to Beijing to confess the crime of deceiving the emperor, and this governor can fulfill His Highness now."

Liu Hai opened his eyes wide in despair, shook his head and said, "No! No, I'm not fake."

Wu Zonglun saw him so frightened that his lips turned pale, his heart ached, he stared at Liu Hai's face, and quickly imagined in his mind that if Liu Hai really became a prince, the two would never be able to stay together forever, would he be able to bear it?However, just having such a thought, I couldn't help myself with heartache, and couldn't think deeply at all.

"Brother Angus..." Liu Hai didn't know why he turned upside down overnight.He has never expected such things as prosperity and wealth. All he wants is to live a peaceful and happy life with his dearest one. Why do these disasters that separate him from Brother Ang appear one after another?

He called Wu Zonglun mournfully, and tears fell like broken beads.

Wu Zonglun is not much better than him.Now, regardless of his status and etiquette, he got up and hugged the extremely mournful Liu Hai in his arms, wanting to comfort him, but thousands of melancholy swirled on the tip of his tongue, and he was so choked up that he couldn't utter a word.In the end, he just patted Liu Hai's back repeatedly and murmured:

"Haier, no matter what the future holds, Haier, you just have to take care of yourself."

Both of them know that there is no way to return to heaven, maybe they will have to part in the next moment, this parting, maybe there will be no day of reunion in this life, they both hug each other tightly, like a straw grasped by a drowning man in despair .

In the emotional chaos, no one noticed when Chen Kun waved away from the crowd, and when he sat down, enjoying the painful expressions of the two while holding tea.

Until Chen Kun suddenly asked: "By the way, you two, do you have any plans for the future?"

Liu Hai's face was full of tears. Although he heard it, he was angry and ignored him. Wu Zonglun wiped away the tears from Liu Hai with his fingertips, knowing that what should be faced would still be faced after all.He calmed down his emotions, and slowly comforted: "Hai'er, go to the capital with peace of mind first, I will take good care of my mother and the children, and I will stay in Clamshell Village for the rest of my life. If you miss us, After guarding the mausoleum, come back to Shell Shell Village to find us..."

Chen Kun's cool voice sounded: "How did this happen? The King of Yan saw that the prince looked so much like the late emperor, and he was so sad that he must reward the prince with a mansion in the capital. If there is no suitable fief to entrust it out by then, the prince will give it to him." For the rest of my life, I can’t leave the capital half a step.”

Liu Hai was startled, and his hands gripped even tighter.

Wu Zonglun knew that what Chen Kun said was reasonable, but he didn't know why he said it in such a weird tone, and his heart moved:

"In that case, I will take my mother and son to the capital with you..."

Liu Hai seemed to see a ray of light, and was about to say yes, but was interrupted by Chen Kun's cool voice:

"Hey? This is absolutely unacceptable. If His Royal Highness King Yan knows that our lord does not have a serious family, he must give him a marriage. Besides, depending on the character of the lord, tsk tsk, it is impossible to marry some noble person? How can I hang out with you, a white man?"

Wu Zonglun finally understood the ridicule in this tone.At first he felt that a high-ranking person like Chen Kun was used to taking pleasure in other people's pain, watching other people's life and death is like watching a play, but now he has not asked people to separate Liu Hai from himself, and every word he said sounds like a joke, It seems to have a pointing meaning.Can this matter be turned around?

Seeing Wu Zonglun looking at him like water, Chen Kun smiled: "It's easy for the two of you to stay together, as long as..."

Chen Kun dragged his tone, seeing Liu Hai staring at himself with rounded eyes, felt very relieved, and paused every word: "Tell Wu Tanhua to pretend to be a woman, and marry the prince from now on. The husband will sing and the wife will follow, and the husband will teach the child. Isn't it over?"

Liu Hai's eyes widened.

Wu Zonglun is too familiar with his expression, he is really thinking about the feasibility of this method!Busily interrupted Liu Hai's fantasy: "Even if I am willing, it would be a serious crime to deceive the emperor and be found out."

Liu Hai's eyes darkened, and he nodded: "As long as the family is safe and sound, as long as you can be with Brother Ang, you can be happy if you ask me to be a woodcutter and collect firewood for the rest of your life. .”

Wu Zonglun raised his eyes and saw Chen Kun put on a pensive look, and bowed his robes: "Caomin dare to say something, and I ask the governor to see it for the sake of the friendship of the same year, let the past go, and give advice, great kindness, and the grassroots will definitely be married. Reciprocate."

Speaking of "the same year", Chen Kun was taken aback for a moment.Although he entered the palace as an eunuch since childhood, he also became a Jinshi in the sixth year of Huayi, which was unprecedented in this dynasty.

Some people say that he has long been a pawn buried in the palace by King Yan, but they don't know that it is indeed a gift from the late emperor.The first emperor was a Jiedu envoy who started a rebellion and was suspicious by nature. In his view, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty had selfish motives, and there were few people who could be trusted.Therefore, as early as more than ten years ago, the first emperor deliberately cultivated Chen Kun, who had served personally, as the supervisor of the East Factory, and prepared to make a system. You can take part in the imperial examination or even enter the court as an official.But when the list was made, the scholars were shaken, and there were many opponents who wrote to the imperial court, especially Wu Chao, the leader of the Qing School, who was the most resolute.

Chen Kun knew that before he took refuge in the King of Yan, his status as Jinshi was often used as a laughing stock among scholars, even now that he is in power, few flatterers would dare to flatter him with this background.But now the "same year" that Wu Zonglun sincerely said has no irony, it seems to be reminding Chen Kun of his kindness to him, so that he should not be too hard on Liu Hai, a powerless nominal prince.

Wu Zonglun can be regarded as being wrong, this "same year" is indeed hooked
