wise man

Ji Fengming was beaten to the point where he lost his balance and fell to the ground. Before he could recover, Ji Tai kicked up and screamed from his throat, "Beast!"

Ji Fengming covered his face with one hand and his abdomen with the other, curled up into a ball, fearing that his father would hit him again, and looked at him tremblingly.

It was the first time in his life that he was beaten and scolded so severely, and his father's furious appearance gave him a strong sense of oppression, almost suffocating him.Even though he was used to seeing his father controlling the emperor's appearance in the court every day, he only regarded him as his father in his heart.But at this moment, he strongly felt what is called "Tianwei".

No, obviously he was beating and scolding him as "father", but why did he have this kind of fear when a courtier faced Tianwei?

Confused thoughts intertwined in Ji Fengming's mind, he couldn't understand his emotions for a while, and he didn't understand where the fear came from.

It seems like something is out of my grasp...

Ji Tai wanted to fight again, but Chen Shoushi knelt down to stop him: "Father!"

Ji Tai was stunned suddenly.Father Emperor, he called Father Emperor as soon as he opened his mouth, and he called it so naturally, without any reluctance.Ji Tai felt a little sore in his heart, and then he heard himself sigh silently, and that breath came out from the deepest chest, taking away all the suppressed, entangled and helpless emotions.

In an instant, both Chen Shoushi and Yang Zhen realized that Ji Tai was getting old.As if he had aged in an instant, after removing the strength of all the supports, he revealed a trace of fragility.

But that was only for a moment, when Ji Tai stretched out his hand to help Chen Shoushi, he turned back to the original majestic emperor.

"Shi'er, get up."

Ji Fengming's eyes were already red with jealousy, and his eyes were fixed on those hands. His father actually helped Chen Shoushi up with his own hands, so amiable.

"Father, please sit up." Chen Shoushi helped Jitai to sit in the center, and moved Yang Zhen's soft couch to the lower hand, then knelt down upright, and kowtowed, "Father, my son is guilty, please Father punishes."

Ji Fengming had already got up now, still covering his face with his hands, standing aside, staring at Chen Shoushi with a dark look in his eyes.

Ji Tai said: "Shi'er, what is your crime?"

Chen Shoushi said: "I offend His Highness the Crown Prince, if I offend my superiors, I will be convicted."

"Chen Shoushi!" Ji Fengming roared angrily, "Stop pretending to be in front of your father! You are so bold that you dare to ride on my head!" He pointed at Yang Zhen, "You burned down the uncle's mansion for this little slave, and even beat you up!" Gong, I am not as good as a little servant in your mind, is it?"

Yang Zhen thought to himself, the prince is trying to provoke the flames on purpose!He suddenly rolled down from the couch, Chen Shoushi said in surprise: "Zhen'er, what are you doing?" He wanted to help him, but the emperor didn't order him to get up.Seeing Yang Zhen standing on his knees, kneeling to his side, he knelt up a step behind, leaned down and said, "Your Majesty, the master is not offending the crown prince because of his slaves, but for the sake of the royal face."

Ji Fengming was so angry that he stepped in front of the two of them, and shouted: "Father, my son is just... just angry, but Chen Shoushi relied on his father's favor and arrogantly arrogantly in front of his son, so I gave him a small favor." A small lesson. Father, look, he, he even dared to beat his servants, so will he still offend Longyan in the future?"

Ji Tai took a deep look at Chen Shoushi, and said to his son: "Shi'er has offended Longyan not once or twice." His tone was as calm as saying, "The weather is really nice today."

Ji Fengming froze, staring at his father in disbelief.

Ji Tai ordered: "Kneel down!"

Ji Fengming knelt down in front of Chen Shoushi, still unwilling to say: "Father!"

Ji Tai didn't look at him, and said: "Shi'er, what did your eldest brother prince do, you tell me in detail."

"Father, I don't want to say anything about this matter. After all, it is a private matter of my royal family." Chen Shoushi said, "It's just that I never thought that this matter would reach the ears of ministers. I really don't know... .”

Ji Tai raised his hand: "I see, you have done things properly, and you have taken into account the face of your eldest brother. I just want to know the details of what happened."

Chen Shoushi said: "The victim is Yang Zhen, my servant's concubine, let him report to the emperor."

Ji Tai nodded and ordered Chen Shoushi to get up.Chen Shoushi felt sorry for Yang Zhen who was still kneeling, fearing that his body would be too much for him, he really wanted to hug him.Yang Zhen glanced at him silently, and said with her eyes: "Don't worry, Husband, I'm fine."

He restrained all his emotions, his voice was calm and clear, and his expression was neither humble nor overbearing. From Cuiwei was bribed to give them medicine, he went to ask the doctor to be taken captive, all the way to the prince who wanted to use medicine to take away his memory, and then sold himself Nanfeng Pavilion, lead Chen Shoushi to go.

"Slander!" Ji Fengming jumped out and interrupted him, "You made up all of this!"

"Father, this son-in-law just captured Yang Zhen and imprisoned him in the uncle's mansion. He didn't do anything else. This little slave is slandering my son-in-law." He hurriedly clarified himself.

Ji Tai's eyes were cloudy, his fingers clenched the back of the chair tightly, and his veins bulged.The raging rage almost tore his chest apart. If he hadn't endured it hard, he might have spit out a mouthful of blood.

He knew that his son was arrogant and wicked, but he didn't expect him to be so unbearable.

He coldly restrained his son with his eyes, and said to Chen Shoushi: "Shi'er, I know that Yang Zhen has been wronged. You stay in the palace for a few more days and ask the imperial doctor to heal him well. He suffered a big blow. , some insanity, nonsense, I don't blame him. In short, this matter is the fault of the prince, and I will punish him. But he is the prince and your elder brother. If he committed the above act, he will not do it next time!" Said By the last sentence, the emperor's voice became harsh.

Chen Shoushi respectfully replied yes.

Ji Tai turned to his son: "The prince lost his morals, and he will be punished for one month, let's go!"

Ji Fengming was so angry that his eyes turned black.Chen Shoushi beat him, and said "don't do it next time", but he himself was beaten, and he was fined and grounded.

He stared at Chen Shoushi with resentment, and withdrew from Xinhe Palace.

Chen Shoushi hurriedly said: "Father, Yang Zhen is weak, can you allow me to help him back to rest on the couch?"

Ji Tai nodded.Chen Shoushi picked up Yang Zhen and let him lean back on the couch.Ji Tai beckoned for him to come closer.Chen Shoushi walked in front of him and half knelt down.Ji Tai looked at him for a while, and said, "You child, you have changed a lot." His voice was full of emotion.

Chen Shoushi looked at him quietly, and said: "Father, my son just understands Father's painstaking efforts."

"Oh?" Ji Tai said, "You understand?"

"Yes." Chen Shoushi said, "Royal father is the most honored person in the world, sitting high on the dragon chair, admired by all people, with infinite scenery, but how many people know the suffering and tiredness of royal father? Blessing all the people, you have to think hard about everything. How can you not be tired? The imperial court and the harem are full of intrigues everywhere. No matter how wise and powerful your father is, you are still a body of flesh and blood with limited energy. Your energy is spent on state affairs , and neglected the relationship between father and son. Your Highness the Crown Prince is now like this, it is because of your negligence in discipline, father..."

"Shi'er, you are presumptuous!" Ji Tai was angry.

Chen Shoushi didn't flinch, his eyes were clear, and he looked straight at Ji Tai: "Father's country is inherited by the prince, but father is worried that the prince will not be able to support this country. Father, you named your son and minister as the second prince. Give the prince a vigilance, a reminder? If Erchen can solve the knot for the father, please ask the father to let Erchen do something."

Ji Tai said: "What's the matter?"

Chen Shoushi said: "My minister is willing to win the hearts of one person, and the white head will not be separated. My minister wants Yang Zhen, only Yang Zhen."

Yang Zhen's heart skipped half a beat, Chen Shoushi, why are you...so stupid?I know what you mean, but you shouldn't mention it at this moment.As I said before, even I am moved for the emperor, but you are waiting for him here.

Ji Tai was really angry, pointed at Chen Shoushi and scolded: "You bastard, after all, it's because of this little servant. How can you have any loyalty and filial piety? You just want to make a deal with me, you, you! " Kicked it out, kicking Chen Shoushi so that he fell on his back.

"Master!" Yang Zhen exclaimed, and almost rolled off the couch again, but was stopped by Chen Shoushi's gesture.

Chen Shoushi got up and knelt down, adjusted his clothes, and lowered his eyes and said: "Father calm down, take care of the dragon body."

Ji Tai leaned back in the chair, dizzy with anger.

A smile appeared on Chen Shoushi's lips, this smile made his handsome and deep face very soft, he took a few steps on his knees, and walked in front of Ji Tai: "Father, the sons and ministers must put loyalty and filial piety first, otherwise, if the sons With my temperament, how can I endure His Royal Highness bullying my Zhen'er?"

Ji Tai really wanted to kick him again, this kid was shameless, what did he say "my Zhen'er"?

However, Chen Shoushi was very frank, and his attitude was submissive, and he looked like a good son: "I am concerned about the face of the royal family, I am concerned that he is the prince and elder brother, and I don't want to hurt my father's heart, so I wanted to bring Zhen'er into the palace. With filial piety, he left quietly. Although the minister knew the emperor's intentions, he didn't want to intensify the conflict. He only hoped that His Highness the Crown Prince would be able to reflect on himself, but the prince was still afraid of the minister..."

Ji Tai said: "I taught him a lesson this time, let's see how he behaves in the future." After finishing speaking, he signaled Chen Shoushi to get up.

Chen Shoushi said: "Father, did you agree to my son's request?"

Ji Tai didn't answer but instead asked: "How can you untangle my heart?"

Chen Shoushi said: "I have no good plan, I just hope that the existence of my son can really inspire the prince and make him change."

"Since you have no choice, why should I promise you?"

Chen Shoushi said: "The minister is a chess game played by the emperor, how to play it depends on the emperor?"

Ji Tai smiled: "You brat, you rely on me for everything, and you still want to make demands on me."

Chen Shoushi said with a bitter face: "Your minister has already caused Yang Zhen to suffer as a chess piece of my father. Isn't this the price I paid? Father, you should agree to my son's grievances." What I want."

Ji Tai thought to himself, this brat was as hard as a rock before, but now for Yang Zhen, he is really able to bend and stretch, and he even acted like a baby...

He glanced at Yang Zhen who was on the couch. Yang Zhen was looking at Chen Shoushi with tenderness in his eyes.

He withdrew his gaze and said to Chen Shoushi: "In the future, I have to take a step to see. Now, I can't be trapped by you. I can only promise you that after you become king in the future, Yang Zhen will be yours." Side concubine. But, I still want to remind you, don't let anyone become your weakness!"

Yang Zhen's heart sank.That's right, I wanted to help Chen Shoushi, but it became his weakness.

"Yes, I thank my father for teaching me."

"Tonight I invite Ruohua, Jingting and Qifeng to enter the palace, and our family will gather together." Ji Tai said, "There is no queen, just us."
