Emperor's Trophy

When Ji Bingyuan returned to the palace, her heart was still terrified.

He has been in charge of the universe for many years, and it was the first time he felt that he was seen through by others, and he was still a teenager.

The opponent bypassed the trap he set every step of the way, and then accurately grasped his preferences.

Before, he was studious and steady, which he admired. Although he was ambitious, young people should have ambition and vigor.

But, too accurate.

From words and deeds, clothes and dresses, to policy essays, and interviews—all are based on his preferences. It's almost like someone took his life, analyzed it carefully, and calculated every bit of his preferences. One preference, two armies against each other, he has been seen through his weakness.

auspicious son.

The other party is ambitious and intends to save positions, he can't understand it all too well, and he has also set up a meticulous temptation that is hard to refuse.

Wanting to save the throne, marrying the prostitute's prostitute, marrying a talented woman from a famous family, these are his wings to soar into the sky.The other party's mother's family is weak and his background is declining. The only thing he is proud of is his talent, learning and appearance. He helps him and gives him what he lacks most.

However, the other party walked around precisely, and unscrupulously revealed in front of him that his favorite was Ji Xianger.

What Ji Huaisu said was true, and the seemingly humble eyes that flashed by seemed to be bound to win.

That's right, it's all right, from courting Jixiang'er at school, playing the piano, enjoying music, trying every means to get close to Jixianger, he seems to be a young boy who is really young. It is also because the love is too deep to be restrained. The possessive desire caused by young people's deep love is covered up by the obsession to protect the lover.

Originally, a gentleman was so angry that he couldn't respond, so he just watched from a distance, as if suppressing his feelings in his heart, and waited silently. It was only when he was drunk that he became jealous and lost his composure.

It can almost be called a love saint.

But all the affectionate styles, in his view, are thrilling and paranoid.To achieve great things, of course, you need persistence, but feelings are different. Things like feelings need to be pleasing to each other, and there will be results without persistence.

He didn't ask what would happen to Ji Huaisu if Hou Zhaoxin didn't respond, he wouldn't hear the truth.

This is not normal.

It shouldn't be like this to really love someone.

The problem is that he is partial to Ji Xianger, no matter how much he loves him on weekdays, ordinary people should not dare to bet like this, dare to make such a big gamble with their reserves.

Either he really loves his lover deeply and will never change until his death, or he is a crazy gambler, even his lover can be used as a bargaining chip, and saving positions is the ending he seeks.

That's right, auspicious, it's a bargaining chip and a trophy.

He got off Luanyu and went back to Tiren Palace, and when he entered, he heard laughter.

Full of annoyance and anger, they were all dispelled by laughter.

The servant lifted the curtain and walked in, and sure enough, he saw Yun Zhen lying on the ground playing billiards with Yun Jiangning.

There were crystal clear gem marbles scattered all over the floor, only red and green. Yun Zhen curled his knuckles, snap!A red marble went straight through the hole built on one side, and Yun Zhen cheered: "Twenty!!"

Ji Bingyuan walked in, and the soft boots were stepping on a marble. Yun Zhen looked up and saw him, and got up from the ground with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are back!"

Ji Bingyuan said: "You are almost twenty, why are you still lying on the ground playing with this child's thing?"

Yun Zhen said happily: "You never imagined that the box of marbles I found in your imperial study today was hidden when I was a child! Jiang Ning said that he didn't know how to play this, and I told him that I used to be in the palace. This is how I can play with the servants all day."

Ji Bingyuan was surprised: "It's been hidden for so many years? Isn't the servant in charge of cleaning up too careless?"

Ding Dai said aside: "My Majesty, you don't know how narrow Hou Ye was at the time. He used a very thick book cover to stick it on the box and put it on the bookshelf. I haven't taken this book yet, why don't I just keep it?"

Ji Bingyuan thought about it for a while when Princess Dingxiang often discussed matters with him in the study, and Yun Zhen was playing with the little servants by herself. It seemed that he really hid it, so she couldn't help but smiled again, watching Yun Jiangning clean up quietly Pinball, then bowed slightly and retreated, it seemed that he knew the rules.

He winked at Ding Dai, and Ding Dai knew that he had something to say to Yun Zhen, so he quietly dismissed all the waiters, leaving only himself to serve in the hall.

But Yun Zhen came over: "Your Majesty, I heard that you are going to see the King of Hejian County today?"

Ji Bingyuan glanced at him: "Yes."

Yun Zhen giggled: "You have to visit the doctor yourself, so it can be seen that you really value him."

Ji Bingyuan said: "All the ministers in the court say that he is the one who beats me, and I think he is indeed a bit like what I used to be."

Yun Zhen laughed: "Why does the emperor think so? He is just a poor imitator."

Ji Bingyuan glanced at him again: "So you don't like him?"

Yun Zhen tried his best to put on Ji Huaisu's shoes: "Fake ones are fake ones. He can't even compare to your toes."

Ji Bingyuan suddenly felt relieved: "I see that he is proficient in political affairs, quiet and steady in speech, sophisticated in human relations, and sincere in doing things. The rare thing is that he is still young." But he is at ease to hear how Yun Zhen can praise himself.

Yun Zhen was vigilant in his heart, and spared no effort to smear: "I went to control the river with him. Every political move he made was based on cold numbers and achievements. He didn't think about those hungry people who were starving everywhere. Effective ways to plug the breach and achieve results, the government and the people are tools in his eyes.”

"Your Majesty, I have been with you for many years, and I have listened to your discussions with your mother since I was a child. Although you see the overall situation, you also take care of the people. I heard that in order to protect the residents of a village, you would rather intercept the war in a place that is not conducive to you. He disguises himself very well in front of you, but you only need to look for his previous memorials and take a closer look. There are obviously more gentle but troublesome ways, but he always adopts the harshest but most effective way. "

"So, you don't approve of him being the crown prince?" Ji Bingyuan asked suddenly.

Unprepared, Yun Zhen was speaking freely, and said casually: "If he is an official, he must be a cruel official; if he is a king, he must be a tyrant."

Speaking of this, Yun Zhen suddenly came to his senses, his back was covered in cold sweat, and he quickly knelt down: "The minister made a false statement, please forgive the emperor."

Ji Bingyuan glanced at him: "Get up, you have made such a big circle, don't you just hope that I won't make him a reserve?"

Yunzhen was embarrassed, Ji Bingyuan thought for a while and said: "Peaceful world requires a benevolent monarch, but if the world is in chaos, a benevolent monarch is too weak. We need someone who can stand firmly in front of all officials, quickly subdue all parties, and concentrate on calming down troubled times." .People are not sages, the times make heroes."

Yun Zhen knew in his heart that this was the reason why Ji Bingyuan chose Ji Huaisu in his previous life, but he still smiled and said, "Isn't this a peaceful and prosperous age?"

Ji Bingyuan took a look at him, knowing that he had always had hidden worries about the north, but in order to discredit Ji Huaisu, he still opened his eyes and pretended to be peaceful, and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, don't worry about it for a while, Qing If you don't like it, I'll take another look."

However, Yun Zhen knew that when there was chaos in Beiqi and Yu Jia's personal conquest, the establishment of a crown prince would become an imminent matter. Without a crown prince to supervise the country, the country's foundation would be shaken.Now Ji Huaiqing doesn't seem to be doing well, and the only one who stands out is Ji Huaisu.He muttered: "Your Majesty, didn't you ask me where I want to go on business the day before yesterday? I want to go to the Ministry of War."

Ji Bingyuan had already gotten used to his unrestrained thoughts, and smiled: "The Ministry of War is not suitable, and the Ministry of War is still under the control of the cabinet. You go there, and the red tape and trivial matters will soon make you bored to come to me. If you fight with the cabinet If there is a conflict, I will have to work hard to mediate. It will not be like this time. The king of Hejian County took the initiative to back down. You know, the cabinet ministers all look like old men. When you really violate To their power, it is really impossible to see blood and death."

Ji Bingyuan sighed slightly: "How many years did it take me to set up a military aircraft department, so that I could do a little bit of what I wanted to do, even as a king, I couldn't do whatever I wanted. Throughout the dynasties, political struggles have been bloody Yes. You went there and became the target of public criticism. Those dirty and trivial means can make you commit crimes that I can't even protect you in a few days. Civil servants are as good as stencils. Although I am not afraid of history books, I am not afraid of history books. Dare to offend easily."

Yun Zhen looked at Ji Bingyuan in shock.

Ji Bingyuan smiled slightly: "How? Unexpectedly, Uncle Huang is not omnipotent, right?"

Suddenly Yun Zhen's eyes turned red: "No, I feel sorry for the emperor, the emperor is too difficult for you."

Ji Bingyuan's heart softened, and she felt a little regretful, probably because she talked too deeply today, and she couldn't help but reveal a little weakness in front of this child.He said with a smile: "The eldest princess keeps you. I can't tolerate any mistakes in you. I have already thought about where you are going. You go to Dali Temple and serve as the young minister for a few years. In [-], I got the knowledge of the Three Jurisdictions, the Ministry of Punishments, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and I also handled the shady things of officials and ministers, and then naturally the prestige will rise. At this time, if you act again, Everything is cheaper.”

After a few years, Yun Zhen cried bitterly in his heart. He was lucky to have a few years to mess with, but he saw that Ji Bingyuan was very different from usual today, so he didn't dare to stand up again, so he had to agree first.

Ji Bingyuan could see that he didn't want to come, but he didn't intend to give in. Yunzhen was still young, and he didn't know how difficult it is to accomplish one thing, and how easy it is to ruin it. In this huge bureaucratic system, how ordinary it is.

Speaking of it, Ji Huaisu is actually a veteran who can fight poison with poison. He can handle the power with ease in this huge bureaucratic group. The real sage and benevolent king cannot be innocent.

If... Ji Bingyuan suddenly wavers slightly, if Ji Huaisu's deep affection is true, maybe he can really protect Ji Xianger's innocence for the rest of his life.

Yun Zhen didn't know the struggle in Ji Bingyuan's heart, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I'm asking for leave today, so I can send Zhu Jiang off, brother, I don't know when he will return to Beijing this time."

Ji Bingyuan turned to look at him, and said calmly: "Go." Good brother, hehe.

Yun Zhen saluted, but Ji Bingyuan suddenly asked him: "Zhu Jiang has a crush on you, do you know?"

Yun Zhen's face suddenly turned red: "Your Majesty! We are just good brothers!"

Ji Bingyuan glanced at him, and clearly saw a guilty conscience and shortness of breath in his eyes, and asked again: "Ji Huaisu also told me today that I like you."

Yun Zhen was stunned at first, and then furious: "Your Majesty! This man is a despicable villain with ulterior motives! He just wants to take advantage of my mother's military influence, get my ministers to support him, and covet the reserve position. Your Majesty must not believe his blandishments! "

He was almost exasperated, what exactly did Ji Huaisu want to do?Can this kind of thing be brought up on the stage?He is still the king of the county!How can you be so disrespectful!But she completely forgot that she had done something shocking in the world by submitting a letter to marry a man.

Ji Bingyuan calmed down and said, "He is willing to give up the throne for you and just be a virtuous king."

"He's farting!" Yun Zhen couldn't help but explode: "I didn't talk to him at all, what does he want to do? Do you want to use the emperor to intimidate me? He thinks beautifully! The emperor, don't trust him. People are utterly selfish, it is absolutely impossible to give up the reserve position, he has ulterior motives."

Ji Bingyuan still added fuel to the flames: "He fought with Zhu Jiang because Zhu Jiang wanted to be rude to you who was drunk. He admitted that he was jealous, so he fought with Zhu Jiang."

Yun Zhen's eyes widened, his face turned from red to white, but this inexplicable fight found an answer.

He murmured: "How could it be... Before..." He and Zhu Jiang were only brothers in this life. Instead, he has such a heart for himself?

Ji Bingyuan said: "Go, aren't you going to send Zhu Jiang off?" He suddenly became narrow-minded, and joked: "It's good to talk about it before leaving, but if you want to, I can also train you for a while." Two."

Yun Zhen bowed out of his mind, ignored Ji Bingyuan's jokes, and left in a mess, thinking blankly, not knowing what to do with himself.

Ji Bingyuan saw Yun Zhen leave with a sad face, and there was no one in the hall, so he finally couldn't help laughing out loud.

Ding Dai came over with tea, and Ji Bingyuan smiled and asked him: "Tell me, I have to worry about raising Jixiang'er, but I also have to arrange for him to experience, choose a position for him, and have to worry about my daughter-in-law." It's too difficult to raise a child, to drive away those wild bees and butterflies."

Ding Dai said: "Isn't the emperor jealous?"

Ji Bingyuan's face sank and she turned to look at Ding Dai: "What nonsense are you talking about? That's the eldest princess's child, just like my nephew!"

Ding Dai said: "Why should the emperor deceive himself?"

Ji Bingyuan's face was covered with a thin layer of ice, and the storm was about to come: "Bold!"

Ding Dai knelt down on both knees, but his face was still fearless, but he spit out the most secretive secret in the depths of the palace: "Your Majesty! Why do you have to suffer? Back then, the Queen Mother and you were born for the sake of you, the irrevocable broken sleeve." You have been lonely for half of your life, and you can't find a confidant. Now Zhaoxin treats you wholeheartedly, and it happens to be Longyang, isn't this a match made in heaven? Why are you still hesitating? Seniority is not a problem at all, let alone Dingxiang The eldest princess does not enter the clan at all, even in the past dynasties, are there still few emperors who accept nieces?"

Ji Bingyuan's face was livid, furious: "Shut up!"

Ding Dai fell down and prostrated himself on the ground, crying loudly: "Your Majesty, the little one is suffering for you, you should kill the little one! You are rich in the world, why can't you have a bosom friend?"

In the huge and empty hall, there was no one around, only Ding Dai's mournful cry echoed.

Ji Bingyuan sat on the dragon chair, like an ice statue, not moving for a long time.
