Brother Donggong

"Father, Chengyi drank too much outside, she was afraid that you would blame her, so she stayed at my son's place and slept all night."

It's the prince!

His voice was faint, as if he was telling the truth, without any guilt.

He came over, bent down, picked up the scattered chess pieces for me one by one, put them in the rattan chess basket, and then put them on the chessboard.

"Drink too much again?"

My dad didn't look emotional either, he motioned for me to sit over, but didn't look at me, I felt he was tired.

I suddenly felt very sad.

I always thought he was someone who would never grow old and never get hurt.

He is a god.

However, since he was poisoned, his face became pale and pale, and his eyes also became cloudy.He always looked a little tired, as if there was nothing in this world that would fascinate him anymore.

"I called you in this time to teach you some rules.

When playing chess, there are rules for playing chess. Even if you change the rules, but you still can’t win the game, then it’s best not to change them.There are rules in the palace, and there are rules outside.

I'm old, and I won't always protect you, making you no matter how old or young you are.I am used to something wrong, and it will not be easy to change in the future.The next master is not your father, and he won't let you mess around with your temper.

The flesh and blood of the Tian family have the way of getting along with the flesh and blood of the Tian family.If you eat offerings from all the people, don't think about being as safe and happy as a small family, and everything must be done according to the rules.

The prince is your younger brother, but he is the prince. The East Palace is where the prince lives. If you are not the prince, you cannot live there. "

"and also……"

"Drinking, messing around, playing with little girls, these things hurt your health, so quit if you can. Pay close attention to those famous daughters, choose one you like, marry it back, and live a down-to-earth life is better than anything else."

My heart felt blocked when I heard it, and the corners of my eyes became hot.

My father is getting old and his heart is softening.

These words, he was absolutely unwilling to say.

Suddenly, Wen Zhan grabbed my hand, his palm was dry and hot, like a fire, which made me feel a little uncomfortable.He pulled me up, but he sat on my seat and said to my father, "Father, son, let me play a game of chess with you."

My father nodded, and he said yes.

Naturally, they won't use the simple and ridiculous rules of "five sons in a row" that I came up with. What he plays is Go, a real Go that mixes tactics, strategy, layout, city government...etc.

It was also the first time I saw Wen Zhan playing chess with his father.

I don't know who will win and who will lose, I just know that they all play very well.

Wen Zhan has never lost in black.

Although I don't understand it very well, I can also feel that the two of them are playing very seriously. Every step they take is thoughtful, step by step, and the atmosphere is not right. I can even feel the sharp confrontation on the chessboard.

My father suddenly said, "I heard that you removed the Shadow Guard."

I was taken aback.

Wen Zhan nodded lightly, "Yes."

My dad asked again, "When did it happen?"

Wen Zhan said, "When you retreat."

……

That was when I first moved out of Yuxi Palace, even before we were fooling around together.That is to say, in fact, I never knew that at those times, Wen Zhan didn't have those shadow guards hiding in the dark around him?

if i want to kill him...

"why?"

My father put the chess pieces on the chessboard, but looked at Wen Zhan, as if he wanted to see the hidden truth from the corners of his eyes and every subtle change on his face.

"My son is not used to it."

"You are too willful."

Wen Zhan did not speak.

The father was leaning on the reclining chair, the thick fox fur made him look a little lazy, but his eyes were as sharp as a knife.

"Because you removed the shadow guards without permission, you were assassinated outside the Xiaoxing Palace and almost died. Wen Zhan, do you want Zhen to open the ancestral temple, worship the heaven and the earth, and re-elect a prince for the people of the world?"

Not afraid of death, I interjected, "Father, for such a trivial matter, are you going to abolish the crown prince?"

My father glared, "Idiot, shut up."

I quickly covered my mouth.

However, Wen Zhan said, "Father, my son did not remove the shadow guards, but let them stand a little farther away. If anything happens to my son, they will rush there. The assassination outside Xiaoxing Palace was not like ordinary assassins." , the Eighteen Shadow Guards were all skilled, but nine of them were killed on the spot and nine of them were seriously injured. With such vicious and ruthless methods, they are definitely not a mob. Although Pei Tan's elite soldiers killed most of the assassins, there are still One person escaped. From this point of view, whether there is a shadow guard or not, it is actually the same."

"My son doesn't like people around me, so I don't want to enter the East Palace with another shadow guard."

ah? ? ! ————

The prince was assassinated?

It was supposed to be news that shocked the entire Yongjing, why didn't I know it at all?

Father said, "You don't want people around you...why? What do you do without people around you?"

Wen Zhan did not answer.

Father asked again, "Why?"

Snapped!

Wen Zhan put a black stone on the chessboard, and he said lightly, "Father, you lost."

I looked up and saw that the chess game was not over halfway, and there was still a large area of ​​the entire chessboard that was blank. No one knew what kind of fight would happen, but Wen Zhan said to the emperor—you lost.
