The identity of the direct son - Xu I's prosperous world

There was no major event in the morning court, so the eunuch who sang the ceremony soon said that the court would be dismissed. At this time, Lord Ji came out and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to announce."

The emperor looked at him and said, "Ji Qing, what's the matter?"

Master Ji then took out the folder, and the eunuch on duty hurried over to take it and held it in front of the emperor.

The emperor didn't know what Mr. Ji was going to play, but since it was played at the court meeting, it would not be a trivial matter.

The emperor opened the booklet and glanced at it briefly at first, but he was stunned almost in the blink of an eye, and then carefully read the booklet and the letter paper inside, and his face sank after reading. , although his face was expressionless, he was actually flustered.

The emperor almost wanted to stop Mr. Ji, but Mr. Ji had already said, "Ji Heng, the eldest son of the humble minister, entered the palace as a companion to the emperor when he was nine years old. It is a great honor for my Ji family. There are very false rumors, these rumors not only ruined my son's reputation, but also ruined the reputation of my Ji clan."

When he said this, he told about the letter he had received from the patriarch of the clan, and even recited the letter verbatim.

After reciting it, Lord Ji said, "In the past, I always thought that the Qing Dynasty was self-cleaning, so I didn't say anything against everyone's slander and rumors, but now that the patriarch has blamed me, I can no longer say anything about it." He swallowed his anger. Ji Heng is still young and upright, and he will never do what is rumored. Furthermore, these rumors are just enough to slander Ji Heng. This is also slandering the emperor and the emperor's sage. Therefore, I implore the emperor to deal with this matter. I will send my son back to his hometown in a few days, and if there are still people who continue to spread rumors and slander, I will ask the emperor to judge and deal with this person."

The emperor didn't listen to these at all. What he thought in his mind was that Ji Heng was really going to leave. He clearly promised himself that he would accompany him. Why did he do such a thing to force him again and ask him to let him go? Walk.

The emperor kept his face sullen and said nothing, but in the court hall, after everyone whispered a few words at the beginning, they saw Master Ji's expression was very serious and his language was very severe, so everyone kept silent, for fear of being noticed by Master Ji, and became Early birds.

After thinking for a while, the emperor said, "I approve of your performance. If someone spreads rumors to slander Ji Heng in the future, he will be severely punished. However, Ji Heng doesn't have to go back to his hometown, he just needs to stay in Beijing."

Although the ministers below did not dare to speak out, after hearing the emperor's words, they were already muttering in their hearts. The emperor's words were completely contradictory. While saying that he and Ji Heng were innocent, he was reluctant to let him leave .

Master Ji said humanely, "Ji Heng has ruined the reputation of the Ji clan, and the patriarch of the clan wants Ji Heng to go back, but the ministers dare not obstruct it."

In fact, the emperor couldn't care about the internal affairs of the Ji family. He sat there frowning and remained silent for a while. After a while, he said, "Let me think about it."

Then he retreated.

When the emperor returned to the Hall of Qinzheng, it happened that the booklet from the previous day had also been delivered from the cabinet. The emperor anxiously picked up the first book and opened it. Unexpectedly, it was the one written by Ji Chaozong.

He froze for a moment, then read the letter over and over again, then frowned and threw the booklet on the ground viciously.

He walked up and down the study room irritably, and said in his heart, "You clearly promised not to leave me, but you used such means to force me to let you go. Why are you so cruel?"

The emperor shouted outside, "Liu Sheng!"

Liu Sheng trotted into the study and saluted, "Your Majesty, my servant is here."

The emperor said, "Someone tell Ji Heng to come into the palace."

Liu Sheng was stunned for a moment, and after answering, he turned and went out.

Liu Sheng had been serving the emperor in the early dynasty, so he naturally knew why the emperor was so irritable in the study. At this time, it was rumored that Ji Heng would enter the palace, probably because he wanted to lose his temper with Ji Heng.

Liu Sheng sent two young eunuchs out of the palace to invite Ji Heng, and he himself brought ginseng tea into the study. Seeing that the emperor was still frowning and said nothing, he said, "Your Majesty, the rumors are not only It's not good for Mr. Ji, and it's disrespectful to the emperor. It's good for Mr. Ji to go back to his ancestral home."

The emperor was so angry that he threw the cup of ginseng tea out on the spot, but he still didn't say a word.

There were rumors that the emperor should be angry, but he was not angry. On the contrary, he was angry because Ji Heng wanted to leave him.

Seeing the emperor drop his teacup, Liu Sheng naturally didn't dare to say anything. He just knelt on the ground to plead guilty, then knelt to clean up the broken teacup, and put away the memorial that the emperor threw on the ground. When he arrived at the imperial case, he exited the study tremblingly.

The emperor felt extremely wronged, but there was nothing he could do, because he knew that Ji Heng was determined to leave.

When Ji Heng arrived at Qinzheng Hall, it was already noon, and the emperor had no appetite, so he didn't eat lunch either. Hearing Liu Sheng's announcement that Ji Heng had arrived, he said, "Let him in."

When Ji Heng entered the study room, he knelt down without daring to look at the emperor. After kneeling three times and prostrating nine times, he prostrated himself on the ground without moving after three shouts of long live.

The emperor looked at his small body kneeling on the ground, was angry with him and felt sorry for him, finally suppressed his anger, and said, "Get flat."

Ji Heng didn't get up, and said, "I have failed the emperor, so I dare not get up."

The emperor threw the folder that Liu Sheng put away on the imperial case and threw it in front of Ji Heng on the ground. Ji Heng heard the sound of the paper rattling, but did not move. The emperor said angrily, "Did you do it on purpose? I also know that you have failed me."

Ji Heng pressed his forehead against the carpet, "Your Majesty, I must go back to Jiangnan, so just let me go."

The emperor got up from behind the imperial case, walked up to Ji Heng, bent down and stretched out his hand to grab his uninjured right hand, and pulled him up fiercely. Ji Heng was staggered a step by him, and fell into a daze Crashing into the emperor's arms, the emperor lowered his head and stared at Ji Heng viciously, and choked out words through his teeth, "How did you promise me yesterday, you said you would always be by my side, you just said After that, just do this kind of thing. You asked your father and your cousin to force me to do this, didn't you?"

Ji Heng knew that if he confronted the emperor head-on at this time, there would be no good results, so he stretched out his hand and gently stroked the emperor's chest, saying, "Your Majesty, I will always be with you."

The emperor was caressed by Ji Heng on his chest, half of his body was going numb, his face turned redder all of a sudden, before he was flushed with anger, but now he felt an inexplicable throbbing, he didn't know how to lose his temper, just He said aggrievedly, "You lied, what happened to your father and cousin's book."

Ji Heng looked at the emperor with full eyes, and said softly, "I will go back to the south of the Yangtze River, and I will go back for three years at most. After I pass the Juren, I will return to Beijing. Your majesty, please let me go for three years. Let's do it for three years." Joe, okay?"

The emperor shook his head, "No."

Ji Heng stopped talking, retreated from the emperor's arms, and knelt down again.

The emperor stared at him angrily, and said, "Why did you leave me?"

Ji Heng sighed lightly, and then said, "Your Majesty, you know how ugly the rumors are, why don't you have any intention of suppressing them at all. I got such a bad reputation, not only because of me, but also because of me. Your business, your majesty, is also the business of my entire Ji family. Your majesty, do you think that the book was written by my humble servants by my father and elder brother? It is not at all. Because of my bad reputation, the Ji family will probably all want to write it down in my hometown. I can't hold my head up anymore. The Ji family is most respectful of their name. They came to blame me and my father so late because my father is the minister of the court. In fact, my father sent me the letter from the patriarch's uncle last night. I saw it, I was very sad at that time, if I ruined my reputation alone, I can bear it, but because of me alone, the entire Ji family can't hold their heads up, I really feel guilty and very sad in my heart, Your Majesty, can you understand me?"

After Ji Heng's words were finished, he already began to cry faintly. The emperor stared at him blankly, feeling very conflicted in his heart. He finally bent down, pulled Ji Heng up again, and hugged him into his arms, but just now Hugging in, Ji Heng backed away.

The emperor saw that Ji Heng's long eyelashes were even stained with two crystal clear teardrops, he was pretending to be calm but I felt pity for him.

The emperor looked at Ji Heng quietly, and said after a long time, "Are you really going?"

Ji Heng was about to kneel down again, and said, "I implore the emperor to grant it."

The emperor grabbed his hand and prevented him from kneeling down. He looked up at the painted painting above his head, and suppressed the wetness that was about to come out of his eyes, his voice was already astringent, "Okay, I agree, You go back to Jiangnan, but you have to remember what you said just now, the three-year agreement, if you don't come back after three years, I won't show mercy to you anymore. You are deceiving the king."

Ji Heng heaved a long sigh of relief in his heart, wanted to thank the Lord for his kindness, but in the end he didn't say it. He just looked at the emperor, stretched out his hand and gently hugged the emperor's shoulder, and said, "My servant, please remember."

The emperor lowered his head and glanced at Ji Heng, stretched out his hand and hugged Ji Heng who hadn't had time to retreat, then lifted the back of his head, and kissed him fiercely on the lips without allowing him to resist, because the kiss was so hard, Even a bit of a biting feeling.

Then, he stared into Ji Heng's eyes and said, "Although I promised you to go back to Jiangnan for three years, Xu Dachuan is not allowed to go back with you."

Ji Heng was very uncomfortable being kissed by him, but he was not good at resisting, fearing to make the emperor anxious again. He was a little surprised to hear him say this now, "Why don't you allow Qilang to go back?"

He didn't believe that the emperor was using him as a proton.

The emperor's fingers stroked Ji Heng's cheeks that were as tender as water tofu, and the light in his eyes changed from the usual peace to sharpness, and he said, "Don't think I don't know, Xu Dachuan is after you. You said You don't want to accept my intentions, and you are too intimate with your cousin, so you are defenseless."

Ji Heng couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, thinking that the emperor was jealous of Qilang?

Ji Heng said, "He is no different from my biological brother, everything between me and him is innocent, Your Majesty, you are insulting me."

The emperor said, "Anyway, if you want to go back to Jiangnan, Xu Dachuan is not allowed to go back, or you won't go back."

Ji Heng looked at him helplessly, and the emperor looked at him, clearly with the unreasonable anger of a child.

Ji Heng couldn't help it, so he had to say, "Then let Qilang stay. It's just that he's going to take a test for fame, so we can't delay him for three years because of this."

The emperor said, "Just let him take the exam in the capital, and I decree that he can stay in the capital to take the exam."
