After the Cannon Fodder's Rebirth

The emperor's face was ashen, and there was a tendency for a storm to come.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, He Zisheng and Gu Chen hurriedly opened their mouths one after another, trying to dissuade him: "Brother Emperor—"

"His Royal Highness..."

However, He Ziming ignored them, walked straight to the center of the hall, and knelt down straight to the emperor: "I also ask my father to help me."

He Ziming was called into the inner room by the old emperor under everyone's terrified eyes. He Ziming and the old emperor had a secret talk for more than three days.

He Ziming is not suitable to be the Crown Prince, nor is he suitable to be the future Crown Prince. Many people in Daxing, including the old emperor, know that, but due to his preference for his first wife and first son, the old emperor still chose to let He Ziming be the crown prince...

He Ziming knew this very well, so after the old emperor called him into the inner room, he didn't panic, but calmly chose to show affection for his father as a son instead of a courtier. Knowing the truth, he explained the pros and cons of the matter, and explained that the position was not suitable for him.

After pondering for a long time, the old emperor compromised with He Ziming because of his preference for the eldest son.

Three days later, the emperor personally decreed to abolish the prince, and the former prince He Ziming was named Prince An.

Prince Ann, Prince Ann...

After fully understanding that He Ziming is not suitable and unwilling to sit in that seat, as a father, the old emperor already only hopes that his eldest son can be safe and happy.

Now it is He Ziming who has chosen to give up the throne. In the future, no matter which of his brothers ascend the throne, with this in mind, and the title he left for He Ziming, he will be offered to He Ziming, so that He Ziming can be pampered and become an idle prince. This life is over.

This is the last little bit the old emperor could do for his beloved son as a father.

At the same time, in the same case of buying and selling officials, the crown prince was the abolished prince after the revelation of Long Yang's love... The difference is that the prince Li in the previous life was deprived of his position by life, and the current He Ziming But he chose not to be the crown prince...

So the results are quite different. After Prince Li in the previous life was exposed to the habit of breaking his sleeves, he was ridiculed and scolded. His hostile forces from all sides ran up in unison, scrambling to trample on him. He kicked him again and again, wishing to step him into the mud, just for fear that the emperor's favorite crown prince would turn over... And this life is also good for Long Yang, because He Ziming himself chose Giving up the crown prince will not become their rivals. The hostile forces that stepped on He Ziming in the previous life have turned to support He Ziming... respect him, Prince An, and even respect him when he was the crown prince. , rushed to give him a male pet, child molestation.

They all knew that He Ziming only liked men and had no intention of becoming the emperor, so He Ziming, who would not become their competitor, and who was the old emperor's favorite son-in-law, was no different from a favorite in their eyes.

Originally, the relationship with him was lukewarm, and the brothers who hid their swords in their smiles all started to get close to him, trying to win him over.

And He Ziming, who was renamed Prince An, also completely unloaded the burden on his shoulders, and officially started a life where he would spend his days and nights, no longer need to be afraid of criticism from officials, and still be praised by others...

It can be said that the small days are so comfortable that they can't be more comfortable.

"Hey, host, it's been two months since you changed your title to Prince An, and you haven't seen Gu Chen, why has his favorability for you increased again? And He Zisheng, why has his blackening value increased again? What about it?" Just when He Ziming was enjoying himself, the mechanized voice of the system rang in He Ziming's ear curiously again.

After that quick glance above the main hall, He Ziming and Gu Chen never saw each other again, and Gu Chen never came to the gate of Prince An's mansion to continue waiting, but He Zisheng came a few times, but he always asked He Ziming to call someone kicked out.

Without contact for such a long time, the system originally thought that Gu Chen's favorability and He Zisheng's blackening value would both drop...

I don't want to, the favorability and blackening value of these two people because of He Ziming not only did not drop, but also soared all the way to more than 90, which is almost full.

After hearing his words, He Ziming chuckled: "Of course their favorability and blackness will increase. One of He Zisheng and Gu Chen is a prince, the other is a child of an aristocratic family, one was born in the palace wall, and the other grew up in the capital. To put it bluntly, They are all people who follow the rules and stick to the rules, how can we see such deviant people?"

"The more disdainful such a person is on the face, but the more he yearns for the deviant in his heart. I dare to love and hate, dare to admit that I am a broken sleeve in front of the emperor, and resolutely give up the crown prince that everyone dreams of , how can we not let them be shocked?" He closed his eyes and said: "Besides, I have come to this point, but I was forced by them, but I refused to give in to fate."

He Ziming chuckled: "How can they not be moved by it?"

When he was with Gu Chen, he had already made plans to ask him to resign as the crown prince. Now that Gu Chen betrayed him, he still admitted that he liked men in front of the emperor without changing his original intention. The position of crown prince who resigned resolutely, others are not in his calculations, and he doesn't know...

But Gu Chen, how could he not be moved by it?

The system seems to understand, and it doesn't quite understand the meaning of its own host.

"Besides, I'm so handsome, Yushu Lingfeng, and so domineering and mighty when I kneel in the hall, He Zisheng and Gu Chen have no reason not to fall in love with me, and want to kneel in front of me and tremble." He Ziming then said to himself Lian, said with a smile: "This is the charm of the soul, hahaha... tsk tsk."

system:"……"

He understood this sentence.

He had never seen such a shameless host.

The system fell silent, but He Ziming didn't bother anymore, and was so happy that he lay on the imperial concubine's couch, watching the show and listening to the music while kowtowling sunflower seeds.

"My lord... my lord." At this moment, the butler of the palace rushed in.

He Ziming was still a little unaccustomed to hearing people call him prince, and after a moment of stunned, he got up and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Gu... Mr. Gu, he..." The housekeeper was so out of breath that he couldn't even speak clearly.

He Ziming didn't listen to what he had to say, only heard Mr. Gu, he frowned and said sternly: "Didn't this king say that from now on, don't mention this person in front of this king?"

"Mr. Gu, something happened to him." The housekeeper grew up watching He Ziming grow up, and he also knew how much He Ziming valued Gu Chen, so he didn't fear him, so he hurried to speak out.

He Ziming paused, clenched his fists unconsciously, and frowned tightly.

After a while, he turned his eyes away and asked, "What happened to him?"

"The old slave heard that Mr. Gu broke his leg by Mr. Gu, and he was raised on the bed for two months. Before he got better, he started arguing with Mr. Gu again, and now it's in front of the emperor." The old housekeeper said anxiously .

He Ziming frowned: "How could Mr. Gu break his leg so easily, and what could he do so well to make a fuss in front of the emperor?"

It can be said that the one faction was hurt by Gu Chen but still can't forget him, acting hard and soft-hearted...

"I heard, I heard that it was the day when the prince changed his title to the prince, Mr. Gu went crazy and imitated the prince in front of the whole family of Gu, claiming that he... claiming that he also likes men is a broken sleeve, so he gave it to him on the spot. Mr. Gu broke his leg, and the Gu family suppressed the matter, only saying that Mr. Gu was ill, and asked him to take care of him and reflect on..." The old housekeeper said: "But Mr. Gu's leg is not healed yet, and he fell again just as soon as he was able to go to the ground. I started making a fuss, and said, and said..."

He Ziming asked impatiently, "What else?"

He was really fed up with the old butler's panting temper.

"He also said that he must marry the prince. If he can't be with the prince, he would rather die... Mr. Gu was so angry that he said he would kill him on the spot. Mr. Gu Wen couldn't stand it anymore, so he made a fuss with the sage .” The old butler finally finished his words.

He Ziming froze on the spot.

Although he knew that what he did would greatly shock Gu Chen, and Gu Chen's favorability rose to 95 points later on, which proved this point, but he never expected that Gu Chen would do this...

Publicly proclaiming that he likes men, and even arguing about marrying a man as a man's wife. For Gu Chen, who comes from a scholarly family and aristocratic family, this obstacle is not too small to overcome, and his determination is not too big.

You know, back then when he liked He Zisheng and knew that he liked men, he still married for the sake of his future and reputation...

And now...

He Ziming suddenly felt that Gu Chen might not be as miserable as he thought before, but it was a pity that everything was already preordained.

It was too late.

At this moment, the eunuch's shrill voice came from outside the door: "His Royal Highness Prince An, the emperor announces that you will enter the palace immediately to have an audience!"

Gu Chen's incident was brought up in front of the emperor and it was related to him, so the emperor naturally had to let him into the palace for face-to-face questioning.He Ziming only heard the eunuch's voice, and already guessed that this matter was probably related to Gu Chen's matter.

Now, what should he do?

Although it is said that being with a king is like being with a tiger, but He Ziming's body has become the emperor's favorite son, so he doesn't fear the emperor very much.The emperor summoned him, and He Ziming entered the palace without thinking too much.

The carriage stopped all the way to the entrance of the imperial study.

When He Ziming was welcomed in by the little eunuch, Gu Chen was kneeling on the ground with a bruised nose and a swollen face, and his legs were still wrapped in gauze, which showed that his father really beat him hard.

His parents and elder brothers were all there, and when he saw He Ziming coming in, Mr. Gu couldn't help but raise his head and stare at He Ziming angrily.

A lot of people think that this unreliable former crown prince who broke his sleeve has spoiled his son.

He Ziming went into the study as if he was going back to his own house with his toes high and proud. When he saw such a family, he immediately pretended to ask, "What's going on? Father, why are Master Gu's family here?"

When the emperor saw him coming in, he immediately told the ins and outs of the incident in a manner that matched his attire.

"Boss, tell me, what is going on between you and the children of the Gu family? They are making trouble with the family because of you now..." He made a selfless and unbiased appearance again. , asking He Ziming as if he wanted to uphold justice for the Gu family.

He Ziming: "..."

At this moment, he feels that the old emperor in such a scene is not at all like a wise and mighty emperor, but rather like an unworthy son who made his daughter's belly big and came to him because he had no choice but to wipe his son's ass Aftermath of the old father.

"Return to father, my son... I don't know anything." He Ziming replied without hesitation without even looking at Gu Chen.

No matter what Gu Chen did, since they broke up, there was no reason to turn back.

Besides, He Ziming's temperament has never been one that can be manipulated and threatened at will...

As soon as He Ziming's ruthless and unrepentant words came out, Mr. Gu's expression changed immediately. He never thought that his son would do this for He Ziming, and the former crown prince could still say such a thing. Come on.

He Ziming could see that if the emperor hadn't been in front, he would be the prince... This old man Gu was about to rush up and beat him up...

so what?

Whether it is him or Prince Li, they have no regrets towards Gu Chen, and have never done anything wrong. The wrong person has always been Gu Chen...

Therefore, He Ziming wasn't afraid of anything, instead, he straightened his back even more to meet Mr. Gu's gaze.

It can be said that there is nothing to fear.

"You bastard, the child of the Gu family, because of what you have done, you actually tell me that you don't know anything? What is it like?" This time even the old emperor couldn't stand it anymore, and the one who pretended to be angry was throwing at He Ziming. A teacup went over and reprimanded.

He Ziming didn't dare to contradict him, and let the old emperor reprimand him without saying a word, but his arrogance was still arrogant, as if he didn't feel that he was at fault, and he didn't intend to take responsibility.

It could be seen that the Gu family was very popular, but because of the emperor's presence, they didn't dare to say anything more.

After the old emperor reprimanded He Ziming, he immediately changed his face, looked at Gu Chen and asked in a gentle voice like a kind elder: "What do you say, child of the Gu family? What's the matter between you and Prince An, don't you?" I'm afraid, I'm here, I'll make the decision for you, Prince An doesn't dare to mess around."

The old emperor also heard about the fact that He Ziming was very close to the second son of the Gu family, and that they often slept together on the same bed.

Even though he didn't think there was anything wrong before, but after He Ziming openly said that he only likes men, he still had to think about it...

Originally, when the matter was brought up in front of him by Gu Wen, the old emperor still thought that since the two children were in love with each other, it would be okay for him to come forward to give him the marriage, so he called He Ziming.

But unexpectedly, his own son is such a bastard who has made it clear that he has played enough and refuses to accept his account.

As a result, the old emperor was too tough and aggressive even if he was the ninth-five-year-old emperor, so he had no choice but to uphold justice with Gu Chen amiably.

"Father—" He Ziming cried dissatisfiedly, wanting to interrupt the old emperor.

But the old emperor gave him a cold look, and said angrily: "You have no place to talk here! Shut up!"

He Ziming had no choice but to shut up.

"Children of the Gu family, tell me." Seeing that He Ziming shut up, the old emperor looked at Gu Chen with a pleasing expression and said in a warm voice.

Gu Chen took a step forward with his unhealed legs, knelt down, and said in a loud voice: "Returning to Your Majesty, I have secretly admired His Highness Prince An for a long time, and all of this has nothing to do with His Highness. His Highness is indeed unaware of it." .”

"It's you who secretly admire Prince An, and Prince An doesn't know anything about it?" The old emperor looked at him with scrutiny.

Gu Chen replied without hesitation: "Yes!"

When a person really starts to love someone, he will start to want to ignore the other person's strength or not, and protect the other person behind him, so as not to let him stir up the wind and rain.

But now, Gu Chen finally began to understand...

Now he values ​​He Ziming more than himself.

"I didn't expect my elder brother to be so misunderstood. He brought the family scandal to His Majesty and made His Majesty laugh at it. All this is my fault and has nothing to do with His Highness Prince An. Please punish him!" Gu Chen solemnly walked in the direction of the emperor. He saluted and carried everything on his shoulders.

He didn't want to make things like this, he just let the matter go in his own home, but he didn't expect that his father would really beat him to death, and his brother believed that he and He Ziming were in love with each other, and stabbed the matter to the bottom to save him. The emperor's side.

Now he doesn't know how to face He Ziming.

The old emperor kept looking at Gu Chen for a long time without saying a word.

After a long time, everyone in the study except He Ziming began to break out in cold sweat on their foreheads, and the emperor spoke again: "Since you adore the eldest son, Prince An has not yet established a concubine and married. There is no one in charge, you see..."

This is what it means to be married.

Everyone heard the old emperor's implication.

"Father!" He Ziming exclaimed in dissatisfaction.

The old emperor glanced at him displeasedly: "Shut up!"

"Father, you can't give a marriage at will!" He Ziming still said what he wanted to say this time, risking the guilt of committing a crime.

"Why can't I?" The old emperor was extremely annoyed, and immediately said: "You don't want to be the crown prince, you don't like women, and I have already let you go! What? Now, as the son of heaven, as your father Is the emperor not even qualified to marry you? You like men, and I plan to marry you too, what else do you want?"

He Ziming said loudly: "Father, even if my son likes men, he doesn't like all men!"

As soon as he said this, everyone present couldn't help but change.

The faces of Gu Chen's parents were even more embarrassing.

But He Ziming was not moved by it, he still stood there straight.

"Presumptuous! There is no reason for you to speak here? You don't like Gu Qing, what kind of men do you like, those lowly Yingyingyanyans in your house?" The old emperor was so angry that he took another vase and threw it at He Ziming. past.

He Ziming stood there motionless, letting him smash it.

Gu Chen got up quickly with a limping leg, abruptly blocked the blow for He Ziming, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please calm down, Your Majesty, I don't want to embarrass His Highness Wang An, please take back your order and don't embarrass Your Highness." !"

Everyone was taken aback when the vase hit Gu Chen.

Even He Ziming's attitude is no longer as tough as before...

"I don't need you to be hypocritical!" But after a moment, he immediately recovered the toughness he had just had.

Prince Li is no longer here, so he is not qualified to forgive Gu Chen on his behalf.

The more he behaved like this, the angrier the old emperor became when he saw it. He slammed the case, glared at He Ziming, and said: "There is no reason to take back my will. Not only do I want Gu Chen to be your Princess An, I want you and your Yingyingyanyan to be completely broken... Do you think that you don't need to care about the royal face anymore if you are no longer the crown prince, and you can do whatever you want? Look at yourself, He Ziming, you recently What kind of system has it become, what does it look like?"

"From now on, after Gu Qing marries into your palace, I will be the master of your palace and Gu Qing will have the final say, let him correct your rules and conduct for you!" The emperor was furious.

The old emperor has been worried about He Ziming's marriage for a long time. After He Ziming made it clear that he likes men and won't be with women, the old emperor's worry is even worse. Even if He Ziming can't be with women and won't have children, he I still hope that after a hundred years, He Ziming will have a companion to cuddle with each other, instead of being so lonely and desolate without even having a home.

However, even if he was sad and worried, the old emperor couldn't casually refer to marriage because He Ziming said that he only liked men...

Because he doesn't know whether people like men, if he casually proposes marriage to other people's sons to his own children for his own son, the marriage will not succeed, but they will become enemies instead, and it is not beautiful for the couple to see and hate each other up.

This is not the original intention and original intention of the old emperor.

Therefore, after Gu Chen jumped out, the old emperor was overjoyed. He felt that Gu Chen had a good family background, good conduct, and liked men. Hard to find.

Originally, because the Gu family brought this matter up in front of him, intending to sue his eldest son, the old emperor still had some complaints about Gu Chen in his heart.

But after seeing that Gu Chen took everything on him, and didn't say a word of bad things about He Ziming...

The old emperor simply felt that Gu Chen should not be missed, and insisted that He Ziming marry him.
