Li Geng immediately clapped his hands and laughed: "You still talk about me, you can fall off a chair too." After speaking, he laughed.

Li Ji followed suit, and after Li Geng finished laughing, he realized that laughing at Chen Yuan might make Li Ji unhappy, so he put away his smile and obediently called "Second Brother."

Li Ji looked at him and said, "Third brother, did you hear clearly what my cousin said just now?"

Li Geng nodded obediently: "I heard it clearly."

"Okay, today you will be a witness," Li Ji said, looking at Chen Yuan with a smile, "Brother, a man must keep his word."

Chen Yuan had a bitter face: "Do you have to come for real?"

Li Ji raised his chin: "You think I'm here to fake it?" He stretched out his hand to pull Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan handed him his hand, stood up, patted his buttocks and said, "Third brother, go and do your work first, I have something to say to your second brother alone."

Li Geng avoided immediately.

"I wanted to live with you like an ordinary couple. I never thought of running away, but," Chen Yuan hesitated, "your current status cannot allow you to be too indulgent, and you have just established a good reputation. broken."

"You have such a big face, is it because you will be bad?" Li Ji disliked it.

"I don't know if I have a big face or not. I only know that Li Ji, the current emperor likes me so much that he is eager to marry me." Chen Yuan smiled meanly.

With a side kick, Li Ji knocked Chen Yuan down again. He shook his clothes, "You must force me to be violent."

Chen Yuan lay on the ground and gasped, "Li Ji, you murdered your husband!"

Li Ji smiled and stretched out his hand to pull Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan murmured unhappily: "Putting people up and then pulling them back, why bother to make people unhappy out of thin air and cause trouble for myself." Having said that, Li Ji's hand had already been held by Li Ji's hand. After standing up, he took a bite of Li Ji's face and smiled as if he was taking advantage.

Li Ji's face turned red slightly, and he pursed his lips and said, "I know your worry, but I have thought of a surefire solution, so you can relax."

Before Chen Yuan could speak, Li Ji continued: "There are many things to face in the future, this one and that one, this one and that one, it keeps on coming. You think everything will be fine if I become the emperor. I don't know how many people are staring and plotting, and before they make any further plans, I just want to put your relationship with me on the bright side, and I want to stop those people from thinking that they shouldn't have."

Chen Yuan's breathing stagnates, this kid is really going his own way, and he is becoming more and more lawless.

"I think this..."

"You think this matter needs to be discussed in the long term. It's best not to disclose the relationship between the two of us to the public, and we can wait until later. It can be delayed as long as possible, doesn't it?" Li Ji said first.

"..." Chen Yuan was at a loss for words for a moment, "Not all, I really think you can think long-term, after all, you have just ascended the throne, and the power has not yet been held in your hands..."

"It's just missing the soldier talisman in your grandfather's father's hand." Li Ji snatched the white again.

Chen Yuan was at a loss for words again, froze for a moment, and nodded: "That's right." He paused for a moment, with a serious expression on his face: "Although I don't know much about power struggles, I also know that simply having a soldier talisman in hand is not enough. Yes, it depends on the word-of-mouth accumulated over the years and the ability to convince people. When you come up, you want to make everyone submit to you. This is impossible. Those people can turn against you once. If you really offend their interests , One day they will turn against you, you should understand such a simple truth."

Li Ji's eyes darkened, and he said displeasedly: "These people are led by your grandfather and father."

Chen Yuan's expression was unhappy for a moment. He wanted to quibble, but he couldn't say it.

"Let's talk about it today. During these days, you should have heard the rumors on the street." Li Ji's face darkened.

"That's all rumors." Chen Yuan said without confidence.

"Rumors?" Li Ji said with a cold face, "There are no waves without wind, rumors come from nothing, brother, you don't understand these simple truths, you dare to pat your chest and say that your grandfather and your father are innocent? They touched things that shouldn't be touched, You know, I hate being insincere the most, even a little bit of betrayal will not be tolerated."

Chen Yuan could see that Li Ji was controlling his anger, and he also knew that the reason why he tolerated Chen Zhang and his son's crimes was all because of him. Therefore, instead of being angry at Li Ji's words, he blamed himself.

"During these days, I've been really distressed, and I don't know what to do with it. If I have to swallow my breath and act as if nothing happened, I can't do it, but I can kill them, you know, because of you I can't do it either." Li Ji's eyes were sincere, his brows were furrowed, and he looked really distressed.

"But you didn't intend to let them go, did you?" Chen Yuan retorted softly.

"You misread me!" Li Ji was really angry and knocked over the tea set on the table fiercely. He slowly approached Chen Yuan, as if confronting him, "If I really want to attack, I won't let you know. I won't talk nonsense to you here!" After speaking, he turned his face away, seemed to be choked up, but didn't speak again.

Chen Yuan was completely silent. He wanted to speak but couldn't. For the first time, the way Li Ji frowned made him feel distressed. Although this person has been ruthless and resolute in his actions these days, he is hesitant when it comes to his boyfriend. Undecided, people will think from the standpoint of the other party. This is a rare and valuable quality and ability.

Li Ji stabilized his mood, but still suppressed his crying, he said: "I don't think you and I can talk anymore calmly today." He left immediately after speaking.

"Li Ji..." Chen Yuan recalled and called him, but Li Ji left without looking back.

Chen Yuan was in a bad mood, and went back to the mansion with a lot of worries, and gave Chen Weichang a lesson as soon as he entered the door.

"Father blames me for always running into the palace?" Chen Yuan was in a rage, and seeing Chen Weichang scolding and scolding him so much, he couldn't help but let out the rage, "I didn't go to the palace because of you and grandpa! The good deeds you two have done are almost exhausting our whole family!"

Chen Weichang's face froze, but he didn't speak, he just stared at Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan continued: "The people in the whole city are talking about you, as if you are really traitors. In front of outsiders and in front of His Majesty, I can't argue with one hundred words!" He cried, "I'm afraid that you are really I'm terrified of being sent to jail and sentenced to death, but you guys did make a mistake...I don't know what to do." He sniffed irritably.

Chen Weichang took a deep breath slowly, did not get angry, but comforted Chen Yuan, and said: "He dare not touch our Chen family! Our Chen family is two generations of heroes, who have been born and died for many years. He is a brat, even if he sits If he takes the throne, it depends on the face of our Chen family! If he dares to touch our Chen family, I will make him unable to be the emperor!"

Chen Yuan bit his lip, he couldn't believe that Chen Weichang was still stubborn, barely controlled his anger, he looked at Chen Weichang and said: "Father, you are wrong, the surname in this world is Li, not Chen, even if you are capable Drag Li Ji off the throne, or even sit in that position yourself, but whether it is the people today or the descendants, they will only say that you are seeking power to usurp the throne, you are forcing the palace, and you are a traitor!"

These words may be too harsh, Chen Weichang was irritated, he couldn't hold back and slapped Chen Yuan, pointed at him and said angrily: "You bastard! You are helping outsiders to teach your father a lesson! Really! You are used to lawlessness!"

"You are the one who is lawless!" Chen Yuanqi said, "Father, please be sober."

Chen Weichang wanted to hit him, but he was stopped by an angry shout.

Chen Zhang stepped forward quickly, slapped Chen Weichang with a livid face, and cursed: "You bastard! You are not good at it, but you have a good temper. You have learned to beat children! He is a child, what are you serious about? "

Chen Weichang felt wronged, and frowned, "Father, didn't you hear what this brat said? Why did you hit me indiscriminately?"

"I heard it." Chen Zhang snorted, "Ah Yuan is right, I think you are not even as good as a child."

Chen Weichang wanted to say something more, but Chen Zhang didn't give him a chance to speak, so he pulled Chen Yuan away.

Chen Yuan rubbed the cheek that was hurt by the beating, and muttered to act like a baby to Chen Zhang.Chen Zhang was so distressed that he ordered someone to prepare hot eggs to apply to Chen Yuan's cheeks, and he still said softly: "You are stupid, your father hits you, and you won't hide?"

"How can I hide in time?" Chen Yuan said aggrievedly: "It's fine to let him beat him, as long as he is willing to listen to my words, he will beat him to death, and he will die without regret."

Chen Zhang didn't like him mentioning the word "death", so he reprimanded a few sentences, but it was full of the love of his elders.Chen Yuan knew that Chen Zhang always loved him, and he had developed a deep relationship with the old man during the past few years. Naturally, he also loved this grandfather very much, so he didn't want anything to happen to the Chen family.

"Grandpa, did you really listen to those words?" Chen Yuanduan was sitting there looking at Chen Zhang, "Do you think what I said makes sense? Then are you going to take your father into the palace to apologize?"

When there is a conflict between the monarch and his ministers, even if it is the king's fault, generally speaking, it is the minister who lowers his figure and apologizes; what's more, the fault lies with the minister, who refuses to admit his mistake obediently, and even puts on a high-profile look that I am right. To add to the blockage of the king.This is not courting what death is.

Chen Yuan couldn't say it too bluntly, this world pays attention to dignity, he can only try his best to persuade.

"This matter," Chen Zhang didn't look at Chen Yuan, "Your family doesn't need to participate."

"Grandpa!" Chen Yuan frowned, "You are the most capable and sincere courtier in the court, why are you going against His Majesty this time?"

Chen Zhang obviously didn't want Chen Yuan to participate, and he didn't want to talk about this topic with Chen Yuan, so he said, "Your face doesn't hurt anymore, just stay in the room." He got up and walked out of the room.

"Grandpa," Chen Yuan got up to stop him, "Don't leave, grandson must tell you about this matter today, for the sake of the future peace of our Chen family, grandson will never let you and father go wrong again."

Chen Zhang's face was displeased: "You can't let yourself get involved in this matter."

"I really have to get involved in this matter." Chen Yuan was not afraid of him, looking directly at him, "I just came back from a quarrel with His Majesty, and I almost got into a fight. It can be said that I risked my life for our Chen family. ,grandfather."

Hearing this, Chen Zhang's expression was startled, and then he asked with concern: "Did he do anything to you? Did he hurt you? Did he threaten you?"

"Don't think people are so unreasonable, can you?" Chen Yuan really couldn't see his old man saying bad things about his boyfriend, so he pursed his lower lip, "He is a good emperor who is reasonable and tolerant. People yelled at him and wanted to fight with him, he died hundreds of times, but he didn't treat me, grandpa, do you know what this means?"

Chen Zhang turned his eyes: "What do you mean?"

Naturally, what he thought was that Li Ji was afraid of their Chen family.

Chen Yuan pulled the old man back to his original seat and said, "You must think that he is jealous of you and your father, but he is not. He cares about you and your father, my cousin, and my mother, my aunt. How precious is it to cherish love and righteousness.” He paused, with a disappointed expression on his face, “Look at you and your father, grandpa, you treat him…” He cleared his throat , "Let me tell you something you don't like to hear. You are not kind. Not only do you have no family affection for him, but you have even abandoned the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers. This is really messing up the court and treason."

"You..." Chen Zhang blew his beard and stared, wanting to get angry.

"If you hit me, I have to say it too." Chen Yuan said as if he was going all out, "It's still the same sentence, I did it for our Chen family, but you and your father no longer cared about the safety and face of the Chen family, and were spurned by the world for doing it." trick!"

"you you you……"

Chen Zhang was really angry with Chen Yuan. Seeing that the fire was about to break out, Chen Yuan was filled with righteous indignation first: "Grandpa, being angry means that you have poked your sore spot, and it means that you know that what you did is wrong, but your ambition is not right." You are allowed to bow your head to His Majesty, because you think he is not qualified to sit on the throne. The first emperor wrote a will to pass the throne to Li Ji. You and me, no one is qualified to question the last wish of the first emperor. If he inherits his father's business, we outsiders can What qualifications do you have to make irresponsible remarks? I know you want Li Geng to ascend the throne, but everyone knows that Li Geng is not the material to be an emperor!"

"Shut up!" Chen Zhang was completely angry, and said, "You brat! You've got it wrong!"

Chen Yuan's legs were about to run uncontrollably, and he had a clear memory of being whipped by the old man. He didn't want to be whipped again, and running 36 times was the best plan.

Chen Zhang stood there for a full cup of tea before he calmed down. He yelled loudly at the waiting servants. Maybe they were old or stood for a long time. The moment he lifted his foot, he was unsteady and almost fell. The servant stepped forward to support him, and the servant supported Chen Zhang to sit on the couch.

After a while, Chen Zhang finally calmed down, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then ordered something, and the servant followed the order and quickly walked out of the house.

Chen Yuan was rummaging through boxes and chests in the house looking for the bank notes he had hidden, and then he was going to hide outside for two days. The palace provoked a little tyrant, and the family provoked two more troublesome ones. In the current situation, he did not hide and waited for a while.

Before they reached the gate, they were stopped by two servants, who could not help but "invite" Chen Yuan back to Chen Zhang's room.

Chen Zhang wanted to cry without tears: "Grandpa, you have to beat me to relieve your anger, don't you?" Sighing, he gave up resisting and said, "Okay, but can grandson make a request? Can we not use the whip? Then It hurts too much to pull the thing on.”

Chen Zhang remained silent.

Chen Yuan couldn't wait for a response, so he continued on his own: "Grandpa, you still can't hit him? If you don't hit that grandson, you will leave?" He took a tentative step, but he saw someone waiting at the door Servants, these servants are not vegetarians, they know their kung fu, he sighed again, gave up resistance completely, and sat down on the chair: "Do as you please, okay? If you want to be beaten, punished or whipped, just look at it. "

Chen Zhang smiled angrily, and Chen Yuan was puzzled by his smile, with a hint of temptation, he asked, "Grandpa, are you alright?"

Chen Zhang coughed and patted the couch: "Come and sit."

Chen Yuan sat down slowly, but he was a little far away from Chen Zhang. As soon as he sat down, Chen Zhang reached out and grabbed his ear: "Little bastard, where did you want to go in a hurry?"

"Grandpa hurts." Chen Yuan frowned, begging for mercy repeatedly, "Where can I go? Go for a walk."

Chen Zhang let go of him and snorted.

Chen Yuan touched his feverish ears, and muttered in a low voice: "I am the little bastard, then my father is the bastard, and you are the old bastard."

"What did you say?" Chen Zhang stared, and raised his hand to hit him. Chen Yuan shrank his shoulders in fright, but didn't get up to dodge. Chen Zhang's hand stayed in the air for a while, and finally retracted, snorting: "Open your mouth more and more!" Awesome! Who did you learn from? Huh? Speaking out can make people half-dead! If it were someone else, I would have whipped him long ago."

"Grandpa, didn't you ever whip me too?" Chen Yuan started to pretend to be pitiful, "You forgot that before you went to the academy, my arm was almost useless when you whipped me, and it still hurts even now when it's cloudy and rainy."

"You deserve it!" Chen Zhang snorted, "If you don't do that kind of thing, will I beat you?"

Thinking of Chen Yuan's contempt for Li Ji, Chen Zhang couldn't help frowning. At that time, he only felt absurd and angry. Now that he thinks about it carefully, especially in the past two years, even if Chen Yuan and Li Ji are cousins, they are too much. Getting closer, let's take the recent incident, Chen Yuan cared and cared too much for Li Ji.

He had to ask: "Why are you protecting Li Ji like this?"

Chen Yuan didn't answer but asked instead: "Grandpa, why did you target him? As far as I know, he didn't do anything wrong to our Chen family, right? On the contrary, he was very kind to your grandson, me and Li Geng."

Chen Zhang didn't answer, but said, "You answer my question first."

Chen Yuan spread his hands: "I answered, Li Ji treats me well, so I naturally treat him well, this is called righteousness." After a pause, he did not forget to add: "I also learned this from you, Grandpa."

Chen Zhang didn't agree with him, but Chen Yuan's wording was not unreasonable, children are often so particular about righteousness, he doubted and stopped asking.

Just when Chen Yuan was about to make an excuse to escape, he heard a shout from outside: "The imperial decree has arrived!"
