wise man

The next morning, Xinhe Palace.Ruizhu, Lvzhu and Guo Bei greeted Chen Shoushi and Yang Zhen with joyful smiles, and took out the guards.

Leader Bo Ling and Shadow Guard Xiaoba.

"Your Highness, son, you are finally back." Rui Zhu said, "The little grandson misses you so much, I will come to see you every now and then."

Chen Shoushi smiled at Yang Zhen and said, "I miss your fairy tales."

Yang Zhen said quietly: "Your Highness is precocious, and fairy tales won't be able to fool him in a short time. As for culture and martial arts, and the way of governing the country, I have to rely on you to teach him."

Suddenly recalling what Qiulin said to him, Chen Shoushi became the emperor in his previous life, and he felt a little bored again.Can he change the direction of his life in this life?If one's own man becomes the emperor, it would be a blessing for all the people in the world, but thinking of himself...

Yang Zhen admits that he has selfish intentions. For Chen Shoushi, once he becomes the emperor, he will be involuntary.The community and love are placed at the two ends of the balance, and it is clear which is more important.

But how?He also said to himself, after all, Chen Shoushi is not Ji Tai's own son, his direct son and grandson are all there, so how can Chen Shoushi succeed him?This is not scientific!

This monk Qiulin is too cunning, he swallows half of what he says, want to ruminate?Damn it!

"Missed again." Chen Shoushi pinched his face.Yang Zhen hurriedly dodged, and whispered: "Your Highness, please don't..." There are also court ladies and eunuchs, and Bai Ling Xiaoba, is it appropriate to be so intimate?

Chen Shoushi hooked his lips: "What are you thinking?"

Yang Zhen said: "It's nothing, I just remembered all the cute things about the little emperor's grandson."

But during tea time, I heard a tender child's voice at the door: "Uncle, Uncle Hazel, are you back?" The child ran in with a clatter, opened his arms to hug Chen Shoushi, and kissed him on the face with a "snap" , turned around to hug Yang Zhen again, and kissed her again.

He was followed by two eunuchs. Seeing this scene, the expressions on their faces were extremely delicate.Kneeling down and saluting, "Second Highness, the servants can't stop your little Highness..."

Ji Ye turned to glance at them, and raised his chin arrogantly: "With my uncle, what is there to be afraid of? Besides, they are sitting still, and they haven't done anything shy."

Yang Zhen wanted to cry but had no tears: Little brat, I kneel down to you!

The corner of Bo Ling's mouth twitched suspiciously, and Xiao Ba quickly covered his mouth.The maids and eunuchs all lowered their heads, barely seeing the expressions on their faces, but their bodies were shaking.

Chen Shoushi pulled Ji Ye into his arms, twisted his face and scolded, "You little ghost, did you turn against you?"

Ji Ye hurriedly begged for mercy: "Uncle, Uncle, I... I was wrong, please forgive me."

Chen Shoushi let go of him and asked, "How do you know we're back?"

Ji Ye muttered, "I asked someone to come and check every day, and it took you so long to come back. Oh, yes, Uncle Hazel." He jumped in front of Yang Zhen again, looked up and down, "Are you recovering? Well, look Looks good. You are getting more and more beautiful!"

Yang Zhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your compliment, but I'm a man."

"But when my father's friends talked about their concubines, they all boasted about their beauty!"

Yang Zhen only felt that his head was as big as a bucket. This kid was as big as a kid, playing tricks on himself while pretending to be innocent.But I can't do anything with him, he is the little emperor's grandson.

Chen Shoushi yelled threateningly: "Ye'er!"

Ji Ye made a face at him, and said with a smile, "Uncle, don't be angry, Ye'er only made jokes because he felt close to Uncle Hazel."

At this time, a famous eunuch came to deliver the emperor's oral order, ordering Chen Shoushi to meet him at Yanqing Palace.Yanqing Palace is the emperor's bedroom, usually Ji Tai summons Chen Shoushi here, mostly for private matters, while official matters are in the imperial study.

Chen Shoushi said to Ji Ye: "Ye'er, go back first, I'm going to meet you with your Uncle Zhenzi."

Ji Ye said: "I'm not leaving, I want to play here. Uncle, you can go, Ye'er will wait for you to come back. We will have dinner together at noon, and I specially ordered the cook in our palace to cook some good dishes. Bring it here."

Chen Shoushi didn't know what it was like: "Aren't you afraid that your father will be angry if you do this?"

Ji Ye said: "Father is not in the palace. He and Miao Yunhua and his buddies went to Dingxiang Villa to escape the summer heat. I don't know when they will come back."

Yang Zhen thought in surprise, this kid still knows the word "best friend"?

But Chen Shoushi asked strangely: "Are you going to escape the summer heat in May?" Besides, instead of bringing his wife, concubine and son, he went with Miao Yunhua and his friends?

Ji Ye frowned and became serious, but did not speak.Chen Shoushi couldn't wait for him to answer, and wanted to question him carefully when he came back, so he took Yang Zhen away.

Yan Qing Palace.

Unsurprisingly, Ji Tai saw Chen Shoushi bringing Yang Zhen again, he was so angry that the veins on his forehead twitched.Xu Zhi hurriedly took the opportunity to pour tea for him, and carefully gave him a look of "Your Majesty calm down".

"I see my father." Chen Shoushi knelt down and kowtowed upright.

"My humble minister Yang Zhen greets His Majesty."

Ji Tai was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Yang Zhen was the magistrate of Changzhou County, but in his heart he only regarded him as his son's concubine.

He suppressed his anger, ordered the two of them to get up, and stared at Yang Zhen's face. The boy recovered well, standing there tall and straight, with a thin waist and limbs, a little more heroic than before the injury .

Shi'er, a good-for-nothing, seems to be fascinated by this kid.

Unconsciously, he snorted, and his face sank.

Chen Shoushi knew that he was angry, but he was not afraid: "Thanks to the grace of the emperor, Yang Zhen was given the post of county magistrate. Now that Yang Zhen has recovered physically, he has officially taken up the post. With his assistance, I am like a tiger with wings. Firstly, I would like to thank my father, Long En again, and secondly, I would like to wish my father a wise eye, and he has won a good minister for the imperial court."

Ji Tai cursed inwardly: Brat, first block me with good words, so that I can't blame you, right?

"I know that Yang Zhen has some ideas, but he is a small county magistrate, and you call him a good minister, which is too much to say."

Chen Shoushi smiled: "Heroes don't care about their background. Back then, Zhuge Liang was just a farmer who plowed a ridge of acres. If Liu Xuande hadn't visited the thatched cottage three times, he would not have become a virtuous minister and a good minister who will go down in history. Therefore, there are always horses, but Bole doesn't often have them. Your Majesty This kind of bole is the only way for Yang Zhen to make his debut."

Yang Zhen thought, Pan An, Wei Jie, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, there are all these people, why not Tao Yuanming and Taohuayuan?This time and space is really weird.

Ji Tai said: "Your mouth is getting more and more powerful. I have nothing to say. Originally, I was looking for your sake, but now..."

"Isn't it killing two birds with one stone now?"

"Okay, okay." Ji Tai didn't want to argue with him anymore, "I'm here to ask you, you took Yang Zhen to the market in Changzhou County and declared that Yang Zhen is your husband and wife, is there such a thing?"

Chen Shoushi was not guilty, and said calmly: "It is true."

"Why do this?"

"For my son's heart."

Ji Tai slammed his palm on the table, causing the teacup to jump up. Finally, he couldn't hold back his anger. He pointed at Chen Shoushi and scolded: "Bastard, because I dote on you, you will act recklessly again and again. Yes or no?"

Chen Shoushi bowed and said: "Father calm down, don't anger the body of the dragon. Father knows the heart of my son, why bother to be angry? My son is in Changzhou County, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away..."

"The mountain is high and the emperor is far away?" Ji Tai became even more angry, "So you think you can do whatever you want by avoiding me and your parents in Changzhou County? I am tolerant to you every time, and you step on my feet again and again. Bottom line. You damn thing, I have to teach you a lesson today!"

He ordered Xu Zhi: "Bring the cane!"

Xu Zhi was at a loss: "Your Majesty..."

"Bring it!"

Xu Zhi had no choice but to take orders.

Yang Zhen knelt on the ground with a "plop": "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, this matter is the fault of this humble minister. It was my humble minister who instigated the Second Highness. Please punish the humble minister and forgive the Second Highness."

"Zhen'er!" Chen Shoushi let out a low voice, and then knelt down, "Father, my minister is willing to accept the punishment, it's my minister's willfulness, and it has nothing to do with Yang Zhen."

Ji Tai is so angry that his liver hurts, he seems to worry about this nephew and son more than his own son, but this kid doesn't know good and bad, and he disobeys him everywhere.

He has already allowed this kid to make Yang Zhen his side concubine in the future, isn't he satisfied?He can't wait to announce to the world that Yang Zhen is his husband and wife, does he want to create a situation where "the deal is done"?

You actually played tricks with me!Shi'er, you can!

"Yang Zhen, if you are sensible, you shouldn't have tempted your highness to do such a menglang act. I have given you a special kindness, exempted you from slavery, and made you the county magistrate, but you have trapped your highness In a place of disloyalty and unfilial piety. I tell you, if you continue to be so stubborn, I will beat you back to your original shape!"

Yang Zhen's heart shuddered, no, no!

"Twenty rods, light punishment!" Ji Tai announced, and shouted, "Come on, take Yang Zhen down, twenty rods!"

"Father!" Chen Shoushi begged with his face up, "Please let my ministers take the punishment, Yang Zhen was injured, he can't..."

"If you beg for mercy, the punishment will be doubled!"

A eunuch already came in and pulled Yang Zhen out, and soon, the sound of beating sticks against flesh came from outside, dull and monotonous.

Chen Shoushi's heart ached unbearably, tears poured into his eyes, he lowered his head, let the tears fall into his neckline, and prevented Ji Tai from seeing it.The hand hanging by the side was tightly clenched.

After a while, Xu Zhi came in with the cane, Ji Tai lifted the cane, and yanked it towards Chen Shoushi's back like a storm.

The sound of the canes outside the palace stopped, and Yang Zhen was dragged in by two eunuchs, pressed to kneel on the ground, bloodstained behind her.Cold sweat soaked his hair, and a few strands hung down and stuck to his face.The cheeks were almost bloodless, and the lips were bitten with blood.

During the torture, he never yelled, not even hummed.

He thought to himself mockingly, his luck was really unlucky, he almost didn't stop after crossing over, he was either beaten or injured.

But seeing Chen Shoushi being beaten, he felt more pain than being beaten himself.His heart was pounding, and he didn't dare to make a sound, lest he would anger Ji Tai even more, he clenched his fists tightly, his nails almost dug into his flesh, his eyes were full of heartache, he looked at the one who bowed his back, and his body trembled from being pumped people.

Chen Shoushi is such a strong and upright person, he always straightened his back proudly, but at this time...

Before he knew it, tears had flowed all over Yang Zhen's face, and he didn't notice it.

Ji Tai's hand suddenly stopped, he saw the sadness in Yang Zhen's eyes.Those eyes that have been washed by water are so clear, there is no impurity except affection.

The author has something to say:

Stone, quickly become the emperor, and then you won't suffer...
