[Ming] the son of the eunuch
Chapter 29 3 in 1
Chen Shui never knew that it would be like this when the two met again, and Chen Shui was very happy for a while.The two stood on the side of the street hugging for a long time, until they felt something was wrong, and when someone looked sideways on the street, they separated again immediately.
"you---"
"you---"
The two spoke at the same time and stopped at the same time.
Chen Lin laughed again, thinking of a person this way, and that person just happened to appear in front of his eyes.This feeling of being valued by someone and being yelled at by someone made Chen Lin's mouth bend upward all the time.
And Chen Shui, who was standing in front of him, looked at Chen Lin carefully.His eyes looked all the way up from his black boots to his strong chest in a black jacket, and finally moved to his smiling lips and eyes.His eyes darkened for a moment, and Chen Shui said happily in a hoarse voice: "Sword eyebrows, star eyes, and a dignified appearance. I haven't seen you for five months, and my Lin'er has grown up!"
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Chen Lin said, "I'm training every day. I'm a little taller, but it's dark!"
The smile in his eyes was even bigger, and he immediately pulled Chen Lin's right arm, Chen Shui said directly: "When did you come to the capital, father and uncle are talking about you every day, let's go home!"
Chen Lin didn't move, turned around and looked at him, a little in disbelief, Chen Shui immediately said: "You---"
"The front is the Qinhuai River. My brother said before that he would accompany me for a walk. How about we go now?" Pointing at one end, Chen Lin prayed.
It is indeed Chen Shui's previous promise to take Chen Lin to the Qinhuai River for a walk.But now thinking of that place, Chen Shui began to loathe and repel him from the bottom of his heart.
"Okay!" Chen Shui finally nodded to Chen Lin's habitual accommodating and overcame the trace of disgust in his heart.
He ordered the others to leave first, leaving only a tall guard behind him, and then Chen Shui led Chen Lin into the bustling crowd.
The Qinhuai River is the most beautiful place in the whole of Kyoto. This place is full of rich and wealthy, full of brothels, and floating boats.I don't know how many people linger on and forget about the ten-mile Qinhuai River.
There are laughter and laughter everywhere, and there are golden powder towers everywhere.The Qinhuai River in the daytime is already like this, but it can be seen that it is bustling and lively at night.
Chen Shui was always worried that Chen Lin would want to enter the brothel Chu Guan, but fortunately, Chen Lin just looked around curiously, as if he had no intention of going in at all.
The two walked up the stone path together until they reached a white jade bridge.Only then did Chen Lin stop, touching the small wild goose stone lampstand on the fence sideways and feeling startled.
There were people walking up and down behind him all the time, and it was only now that Chen Shui belatedly remembered Chen Lin's current identity.
"You are in the Yan Palace now?" Chen Shui's voice was a little cold when he thought that Chen Lin had been in the Yan Palace for a long time but never planned to go home.
"I have been in Yanwang's mansion for seventeen days. I have been in the mansion for the first ten days and have no chance to come out. In the next few days, you should also know about the accident of Gaoyang County King. Now the prince is sick, and the whole palace is in a mess. No one is there. Never mind, I only had a chance to come out, but I didn't expect to run into you when I went out!"
There was a hint of caution in Chen Lin's smile, and he tried his best to control his temper. Chen Shui couldn't help but said helplessly, "Is it really that good for King Yan?" So good that you left your family easily? ?
Chen Shui didn't ask the last words, but from the bottom of his heart, Chen Shui didn't like Chen Lin's reckless behavior for a stranger.
"He----" lay on the stone railing by the river bank, looking at the sparkling blue waves below.Chen Lin thought for a while before saying quietly: "He treats me well, values me, and trusts me. He is an extraordinary person, and people have to admire him."
Everyone knows the principle of employing people without doubting others, but few people can really do it.But since he sent him over this time and handed over the fate of the three little princes to Chen Lin seriously, Chen Lin has already admired him a little.So for himself, for his rare trust, he will complete this mission excellently.
"But he is just a prince after all, no matter how talented he is, no matter how good you think he is. He is always just a prince, and he is always the master of Yanjing!" I still can't figure out why he would Refuse to contact His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at that time, and choose someone who is nothing but His Royal Highness King Yan.Thinking of Chen Lin's current dilemma, Chen Shui felt a little distressed.
"..." Not knowing how to explain, Chen Lin just fell silent subconsciously.
Seeing him like this, Chen Shui thought for a while and then said slowly: "Father said, don't follow Yan Wang anymore. It is imperative for the court to cut down the feudal clan, so - so you should go home. Wait for you Go home, wait for you to grow up a bit. We will find a way to get you an official position, and then--"
"I have no way out!" I had worked in Jinyiwei before, and the imperial court already had a record.And King Yan also memorized his name, he didn't want to make everything too complicated, and he didn't want to make everything complicated.After thinking for a while, Chen Lin said softly: "I am following the order of King Yan, and I am protecting the son. Now because of the matter of the king of Gaoyang and the king of the three counties, the mood of the son is very wrong. I will definitely not leave at this time , wait---- wait for Shi Zi's body to get better, and wait for everything to settle. I can take a break. I pushed myself too hard before. When this thing is done, I will be Ning Yuan who only knows A dandy who eats, drinks and plays!"
I feel like I can never guess what he is thinking, but seeing him like this, I have no intention of forcing him.
"It's already at the door of the house, you really don't want to go back!" Seeing that he was no longer the innocence and ignorance of the first meeting, Chen Shui looked at him sideways and felt distressed again.
"No, the Jinyiwei of the imperial court is too powerful. Maybe they have turned me upside down by now. If I don't go home, then I will still be the Chen Lin who was driven back to Zhen'an's hometown by accident because of angering my uncle. In this way, if something really happens to me, you just need to tell me that I ran away privately and stop recognizing me. And if I go home, then everything will be in vain. "
"Why are you bothering?" Sighed softly, and then Chen Shui carefully asked about Chen Lin's affairs during this period.
Chen Lin picked up some things that could be said, and after explaining them to him one by one, Chen Shui heaved a sigh of relief.
The two talked for a while, and were silent for a while, and before they knew it, it was already very late.
Seeing that the painted boats on the lake have been lit up, the surrounding lights are brightly lit.Dazed, Chen Lin moved his body and said, "I--I should go back, brother, we--"
"I know you are in Prince Yan's Mansion, I will look for you when I have time!" Knowing that he would not go home, the two old people in the family would think too much, so Chen Shui could only stand up straight with him.
The two stood upright on the bank of the river, and the bank of the Qinhuai River is now extremely brightly lit.In the distance came the voice of the singer laughing and singing, and everything around her was as beautiful as a fairyland.
Hearing the voice, he looked at the younger brother who said he wanted to leave just now, but never moved a step.
He lowered his head and smiled, and after thinking about it, Chen Shui carefully took out a milky white jade pendant from his waist, and gently handed it over to Chen Lin.
"This is---" He lowered his head and took it slowly, through the light behind him.After finally seeing the appearance of the jade pendant, Chen Lin became excited: "This is left to me by my father, you---"
"You fell into the water suddenly, I know you are very good at water, Lord Yama will definitely not accept you. Later, I took some luck and sent someone to the pawnshop to check, but I didn't expect to find this by accident!" The gratitude and joy in Chen Lin's eyes It was too obvious, without thinking too much, Chen Shui said deliberately.
"I---" His hands trembled a little, thinking about his decision when he first entered the pawn shop.Thinking of his disappointment when he went to the pawn shop last time, now Chen Lin's mood can't be calmed down for a long time.
"Lin'er, after you finish everything. When the time is right, why don't you take me to Zhen'an's hometown. I'm also the son of the Chen family, but I haven't been to Zhen'an's hometown once. Isn't it a little regretful to say it?" Chen Shui took a step closer, looked down at Chen Lin's lightly flickering eyelids, and said softly.
The blurred atmosphere on the Qinhuai River in Kyoto and the bright lights made Chen Lin dizzy for a while.The palm of his hand was a little hot, and he tightly held the jade pendant that carried the warm breath of the person opposite him.After a long time, Chen Lin nodded slowly, and said very seriously: "Brother, after I finish everything, we will go there then! We don't care about everything here, just take uncle and uncle away from here, and then we will be safe and sound." Is it good?"
"Okay!" With a smile in his eyes, without thinking too much, Chen Shui nodded softly and said softly.
That night, Chen Lin and Chen Shui lingered by the Qinhuai River for a long time, until it was really getting late, and they parted reluctantly.
On the way back, he thought about the conversation he had with Chen Shui just now.Thinking that they will see all the beautiful scenery of Daming in the future, and thinking that Chen Shui is willing to find a place like a paradise with him, and live a peaceful life, Chen Lin is almost as dizzy as if he was soaked in a honeypot Get up.
Chen Shui was interested in him, which was undoubtedly what Chen Lin needed most at the moment.An emperor with sons and daughters, and an elder brother who is gentle and considerate to him.How to choose between these two people, Chen Lin almost immediately made a decision without even thinking about it.
King Yan may only be curious about him for a while, but he is a man he really likes.I used to be a little panicked, thinking that I would be alone for the rest of my life.But now there is someone who is interesting to him and he feels very good, this is undoubtedly God's love for him.
Chen Shui is an eunuch, he will never get married in his life, so he doesn't have the slightest burden.And Chen Shui has always been very kind to him, thinking of Chen Shui's gentleness, thinking of his thoughtfulness.Tightly holding the jade pendant in his hand, Chen Lin felt that this trip to Kyoto was really worth it.
This time he came to the capital, as long as he sent his son Zhu Gaochi to Yanjing safely.That King Yan owed him a great kindness all his life, as long as he had this kindness, he would let him and his family go.
But now he has Chen Shui again, thinking about Chen Shui's promise, Chen Lin has an urge to deal with everything quickly.
"Chen Lin, work hard! Chen Lin, remember that haste makes waste!" He warned himself in a low voice, and then Chen Lin strode in cheerfully under the unusual eyes of the guard.
In Yan Wang's mansion, Zhu Gaochi, the eldest son who said he was sick, has actually been on a hunger strike recently.
Zhang Wu and everyone in the house were sweating profusely when they learned that Chen Lin had returned.Zhang Wu, who was carrying a vegetable basket, immediately pushed open the door of Chen Lin's room.
"Chen Lin, you kid----"
Zhang Wu, who was still angry at first, suddenly saw someone pinching a jade pendant beside the bed like a big girl who was thinking about spring.Immediately lost his anger: "I said, why is there no one around you all day, boy, so I went to meet my friend."
The word "ah" was dragged by Zhang Wu for a long time, and his face became hot all of a sudden.Chen Lin quickly tucked the jade pendant into his waist, and immediately made a rough voice of displeasure: "What time is it, why are you still in my room?"
Only then did he think of something important, and he stuffed the small basket in Chen Lin's arms involuntarily.Zhang Wu also immediately said harshly: "Go and try it out. Everyone in the house went to the main courtyard this day, but none of them could enter the Shizi's house smoothly. You said that each of them can eat five bowls of rice for a meal." The owner of the white rice has only drank a little water for two whole days, how can he bear it."
I want to talk about his body, even if he starves for ten days, he won't die.But when he thought that the other party was just a child after all, he was also an extraordinary master who would be the prince in the future.So sighing lightly, Chen Lin, who was in a good mood, didn't hesitate at all, and went out of his room with the basket in his hand.
On the way, Chen Lin's stomach suddenly groaned, and he couldn't help but opened the basket to take a look at the dishes inside.After closing the lid quickly, listen to the tummy growl.Thinking of the chicken, duck and fish inside, Chen Lin could only sigh helplessly.
Going around in the huge King Yan's Mansion, Chen Lin arrived at his destination after a while.
Chen Lin came in a hurry and forgot to change his clothes, so he was stopped by many people to ask questions along the way.
Fortunately, the waist card was still there, so Chen Lin was holding a basket in one hand and the card in the other, and finally entered the main courtyard after going through all kinds of hardships.
The lights in Shizi's room were still on, but abnormally, no one was guarding the door.So Chen Lin, who took two steps, immediately said loudly: "My son, I am----"
"Get out! I won't eat!"
Before Chen Lin finished speaking, Zhu Gaochi inside shouted loudly.
His eyes changed slightly, and he could hear that his voice was hoarse, so Chen Lin opened the door of the palace in front of him without hesitation.
As soon as the creaking door of the palace sounded, Zhu Gaochi's voice inside became louder: "Don't come in, anyone who wants to come in, I will destroy his nine clans!"
Finally knowing why no one in the room dared to come in today, he sighed softly.Chen Lin said softly: "Your Highness, today's dishes are not bad, let's eat some!"
"Didn't I tell you not to come in? Didn't I say that I would destroy your nine clans? What are you doing here!" A crying voice came from the right side of the hall.
After not finding anyone for a long time, I suddenly saw a bulge under the curtain under the pillar.Looking at the small round bulge, Chen Lin's heart twitched suddenly.
It wasn't until now that he realized that he knew everything, so he could eat when he needed to and sleep when he needed to.But the child in front of him now thought that he really lost his only two younger brothers.
"Your Majesty, you have been hungry for two days. If you don't eat something, your body will not be able to bear it." Step by step, he stepped forward and gently put the basket on the place, and then Chen Lin persuaded him softly.
"If you can't take it, you can't take it. Anyway, I have no face to stay in this world! No one wants me to live!" The person under the purple veil moved and whispered softly.
"How could it be, son, you are the son of King Yan, a child who was praised by the late Emperor himself. In the future, you will inherit the entire Yan Kingdom. How can you say such despondent words at this time!"
Chen Lin, who was talking, stretched out his hand cautiously, quickly turned around underneath, and without thinking too much, Zhu Gaochi shouted loudly: "It's all fake, the father, mother, and concubine may have died now." I am very disappointed in me. I promised myself in front of my father and king that I will take good care of my two younger brothers. I am the head of the family, and I am the eldest son. My mother and concubine have repeatedly told me to protect my younger brother, but what about me? What about me ? But what did I do!!”
Intermittent weeping suddenly came from under the curtain, listening to this suppressed and extremely familiar voice.Chen Lin was in a daze for a while, and then gave up his idea of dragging him out forcefully.
Moving and leaning against him, Chen Lin lowered his head to listen to the crying, and then said softly after a while: "My lord, let me tell you a little story, a little story that happened on our side!"
The body under the purple curtain paused for a moment, and then Zhu Gaochi was still sobbing softly.
"There is a family in our place. They gave birth to a very good son. The son has a good mind, a good appearance, and a good heart. But there is only one thing that is not good, but his body is not good. The son is very sick. Treatment, in order to cure his illness. The couple gave birth to another child, this time it was a son. With the youngest son, the eldest son’s illness will be cured soon. So the whole family loves the youngest one very much. The youngest son has never been afraid of anything since he was a child, and he wants what he sees. But his family, his elder brother all dote on him."
Not knowing what he was talking about, Zhu Gaochi raised his head and looked at the people around him from under the curtain.
Leaning obliquely on the pillar, slowly stretched his legs.Chen Lin continued: "By the time the younger son went to high school and became a scholar, his elder brother was already a scholar. Even though he was already a scholar, that younger son still only knew how to eat, drink and play all day long. His parents said that his whole life was taken care of by his brother, so that kid never thought about the future.
Until one day, when the half-child was swimming with his brother at home, his legs and feet suddenly cramped.His elder brother immediately went down to rescue him, but at this time the youngest son had already grown very tall.His brother tried his best, but he still couldn't save his younger brother.Just at this time, their father arrived.Without saying a word, he jumped into the water and carried his younger son up, and then turned around to save his elder son. "
Chen Lin, who was talking, suddenly let out a long breath.
"What happened later? Was the eldest son rescued?" Zhu Gaochi asked softly with a pair of red eyes peeking out from under the curtain.
"Later, the child's mother just came home. When she saw this scene, she immediately screamed. At this time, the father had rescued the eldest brother, but the eldest brother was already out of breath. So the father took a few clicks, Press hard on brother's chest!"
Chen Lin stretched out his hands to press his chest, and then slowly put his hands on his abdomen and said in a low voice: "At this time, the second brother wants to go to see the boss, but the father who is usually good to him rushes away." And he yelled."
"What did he call?"
"Get lost! Go die!" Chen Lin said these words in a light tone.
"Then—" After a pause, Zhu Gaochi urged.
"At this time, the child's mother finally stopped screaming. She just looked at her little son fiercely and said calmly, why did you not have the accident? You live to let your brother live well. If something happens to your brother , what use is it for us to support you!"
Zhu Gaochi was speechless for a moment, completely silent.
Looking sideways at him, Chen Lin suddenly laughed and said in a relaxed tone: "These are not the point of my story, the point is that when everyone thought he was dead, the mother suddenly pushed the younger son into the swimming pool , and suddenly came back to life. This story tells us that even if some people want to die, Lord Yama does not necessarily want to accept him. He is dead, but in fact it is possible that he is still alive. So Shizi, the bodies of the two county kings have not been found so far, why the prince is desperate first. Maybe Gaoyang County King and Sanjun King are the ones who want to die. People who may not be accepted. You haven’t seen the corpse anyway, so why can’t you be stronger.”
"I---" Zhu Gaochi stood up eagerly.
Stretching out his hand to pull the basket beside him, he took out the dishes one by one. Chen Lin said softly: "And this story also tells us that we should not just look at the surface of everything. If you don't listen to the whole story, how can you eat it?" You will know that the eldest is the most special existence in the eyes of your parents. You must know that in normal times, the family regards the youngest as a treasure."
"Can---"
"There is a reason why people value the sons and grandsons of the world. The son is the eldest son. Remember that no matter how good your younger brother is, he has already lost to you in terms of status. So you can love them, but there is absolutely no need to worry about it. Without them, your mother will not want you. Because to the prince and princess, you will always be special."
"Really?" Zhu Gaochi showed a ignorant smile, looking at his smile.Chen Lin smiled softly, and then handed over the chopsticks in his hand with a gentle face.
"How old are you, Chen Lin? Is this story true?" Zhu Gaochi took the chopsticks given by Chen Lin, slowly moved out of his body and asked softly curiously.
If I hadn't died, I would be 21 by now.Shouting in his heart, the smile in his eyes became more obvious, Chen Lin replied softly: "I am two years older than Your Highness, I was sixteen not long ago, but now I am seventeen."
Looking at Chen Lin's appearance, Zhu Gaochi showed a dumb look.But then he was immediately attracted by the array of dishes in front of him.
Seeing him go to bring one end of rice, his eyes flashed, and suddenly Chen Lin directly picked up one side of Dongpo meat.Passed it directly to the past and said in a soft tone: "Your Highness hasn't eaten for several days, how can you only eat those things that are not nutritious. Eat this, this is soft enough and nutritious."
"Really?" After chatting with Chen Lin for a while, the mood unexpectedly improved a lot, seeing that he didn't cringe like other people.He also learned from Zhang Wu that his father valued Chen Lin very much now.So Zhu Gaochi took the plate in front of him without hesitation.
"I actually like eating meat the most!" If it wasn't for making himself look thinner, he wouldn't force himself to eat plain rice every day.Thinking that I haven't eaten for two days now, I really should make up for it.So Zhu Gaochi had a cheerful face, and started to eat the temptingly fried braised pork in front of him.
"Your Highness, eat slowly, don't worry!"
Clutching his hungry and aching stomach, he gently persuaded him a few words, and then Chen Lin began to observe his room boredly.
"Uh!"
"Your Majesty, are you like this?"
Not long after Chen Lin waited, Zhu Gaochi suddenly retched, and Chen Lin quickly jumped to his feet.
Then after Zhu Gaochi vomited completely, Chen Lin hurriedly rushed out like crazy and shouted: "Come here, come here, please come to the imperial physician, please Your Highness the imperial physician--!"
"What's the matter? What's the matter?" Xue Wang, who had been hiding not far away, immediately ran out with someone.
Chen Lin quickly explained: "Your Highness, he doesn't eat. I managed to persuade him. But unexpectedly, he just vomited after taking a few bites."
"Your Highness---it must be poisoning, come on, hurry up and tell me the imperial doctor, and hurry up and arrest the cook in the backyard." In fact, he was a little suspicious of Chen Lin, but when he thought of the other party's identity, Xue Wang could only Let Chen Lin go for now.
"What's the matter?" There was such a big commotion in the mansion that almost everyone who could be alarmed was alarmed.Seeing that the room was full of servants around Shizi, Zhang Wu hurriedly asked.
"I persuaded the son to eat, but he vomited after taking a few mouthfuls. Just now Xue Wang went in and thought he was poisoned, so he poured some water for the son. But now the son can't even drink clean water. I vomited more than a dozen times in a row, and now everyone can only wait for the imperial doctor."
After hastily explaining the ins and outs of the matter, Chen Lin stood aside and waited quietly.All the lights in the palace were turned on, and everyone was relieved after waiting for a long time until the imperial doctor came.
"Where is the crown prince?" The gray-bearded Imperial Physician Su hurried in, and the subordinates behind him also ran in with sweat on their faces.
"inside!"
Zhang Wu rushed to greet him, and Chen Lin followed behind.After tossing around in the middle of the night, the imperial physician stabilized the situation of his elder son Zhu Gaochi.
"The prince looks like he hasn't eaten for a long time. People who haven't eaten for a long time are most afraid of fast food. But look at the dishes you prepared. Apart from this bowl of white rice, what else is suitable for a patient to eat. "
The old doctor pointed at the food that Xue Wang had specially protected, saying that this meal should be right or wrong.The cook kneeling outside was already sweating profusely. Hearing the words, he shouted: "I'm wronged, every dish I cooked for the son of the world was done according to the order. There was absolutely no extra dish. Absolutely nothing missing."
"This---I also saw that His Highness hadn't eaten for a long time, so I asked the kitchen to make more of what the prince likes to eat. But who would have thought that this would happen!"
He didn't expect that he would be found on his head after all the checking, Xue Wang also panicked helplessly.
"It's my fault. I also want the son to eat something nutritious. I should let him eat rice!" Chen Lin added in a low voice.
"Fortunately, the official came in time, and the son is fine for the time being. But in the future, we must pay attention to the diet, and---" With a serious face, the old doctor said quietly: "The son is on a hunger strike, so I Don’t dare to be negligent. So tomorrow I will report this matter to the imperial court, so you can take care of yourself.”
Everyone's face changed drastically when they heard the words, but they knew that things were not going to turn around, and they could only wait and see the change.
In the early morning of the next day, after three full days of discussion, the court finally decided on the envoys to report to Yanjing.
Ever since the two brothers of King Gaoyang fell into the water, the court has strictly monitored every official who had been friends with King Yan.Each post station has also sent more people, so Yanjing still doesn't know about it.In order to find a trustworthy, eloquent and observant person, Emperor Jianwen also spent a certain amount of effort.
"Wei Guogong Xu Yaozu, he is the uncle of the two county kings. He saw the two sons of King Yan accidentally fell into the water, and he saw it with his own eyes, so he can believe the king and his wife. And most importantly, after this I can see his loyalty clearly, but I still need to try him again."
His Majesty the Emperor in Fengtian Hall, while reviewing the playbook, explained to Chen Shui in a low voice.
Chen Shui pretended to understand but didn't understand. Seeing him like this, Zhu Yunwen immediately said: "The other one is Li Jinglong, Cao Guogong and the crown prince. He is my cousin. He was the one who moved King Zhou, the brother of King Yan last time. If I let him go, I don't have to worry that he will be bribed by King Yan."
"And Your Majesty can figure out his attitude towards the court from King Yan's attitude towards him." With a light smile, Chen Shui suddenly realized: "If he harbors resentment towards Cao Guogong and expresses it directly, it will be enough to show his attitude towards the court. But if he has a deep sense of righteousness or temporarily holds back, it means that he doesn't have the guts to resent His Majesty or that he has no guts!"
"That's right, smart, a child can be taught!" On the playbook in front of him, he wrote the word "Yun" in a big way.Immediately Zhu Yunwen said leisurely: "I have already ordered them to leave today, and finally pushed this matter out, otherwise my head will hurt to death."
Chen Shui chuckled and didn't speak, but went down to brew a cup of the first-class West Lake Longjing and came over.The light green tea leaves float in the jade-like white porcelain cup, and Chen Shuigang holds it in his hand.Turning around, I saw His Majesty the Emperor sitting behind the desk in front, his face had changed.
"What's wrong, Your Majesty?" Chen Shui asked in a low voice, stepping forward gently, placing the white jade cup on his right side.
"Zhu Gaochi actually started a hunger strike for me. Is he threatening me?" After scanning the memorial in front of him, Zhu Yunqi immediately said angrily: "The people around him are trash, he hasn't eaten for two days , They actually waited for something to happen before reporting it to me."
"It can't be all their fault!" Suddenly tense, Chen Shui hastily brought tea over and softly comforted him: "Your Majesty, don't you remember? When Emperor Xiaokang passed away, you didn't eat or drink for several days I was so worried at that time, the late emperor knew about it at the time, and immediately wanted to chop off the slave's head. At that time, it was His Majesty who knelt down and begged the late emperor to keep my head."
"Your father was also terrified at that time! After being frightened by the emperor's grandpa, I dare not stop eating!" Thinking of the past, Emperor Jianwen was also filled with emotion.
"I don't know what's going on recently, I'm getting more and more angry!" After drinking a cup of tea, and after his nose was full of fragrance, Zhu Yunwen said softly: "Then they won't be punished, but his people No penalty. Our side must let them have a longer memory, and let them all be fined for one year. As for Prince Yan, Ah Shui, remember to send a few more imperial physicians there, and send more bird's nest tonics or something .”
Feeling that his decision was good, Zhu Yunqi threw the notebook aside and continued with the next one.
Just when Zhu Yunxuan was working diligently and conscientiously, reviewing stacks of memorials from various places one by one.Zhu Gaochi, who vomited in the middle of the night in Yanwang Mansion in the capital, finally opened his eyes in a daze.
"My lord, you are finally awake!" With a stride forward, Xue Wang, the little eunuch, burst into tears of joy.
"What's wrong with me?" Feeling weak all over, Zhu Gaoxu scratched his head and wondered.
"It's all my fault, son, I should let you eat rice!" Walking over with a bowl of clear porridge, Chen Lin stepped forward and apologized: "The imperial doctor said that people who haven't eaten for a long time are I can’t eat too fast and I can’t eat greasy food, but I—”
Because he has always suspected Chen Lin, Xue Wang has been watching Chen Lin's every move closely, and has no intention of taking over the bowl.
But seeing Chen Lin coming up, sitting next to him himself, serving him.Zhu Gaochi slowly stood up, but his face was moved: "I don't blame you, you are doing it for my own good. And you have persuaded me to let me eat slowly, but I still eat fast."
Zhu Gaochi finally remembered the feeling of knotted stomach that he vomited last night.Seeing that Chen Lin's bowl contained no gruel except a few scattered grains of rice, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and slowly bent down.
"That guard Chen, let me come!" I wanted to test Chen Lin, but saw that Shizi's attitude towards him was better than my own.Feeling a bit in danger, Xue Wang immediately came up to him.
"Okay!" Chen Lin gave up his seat without hesitation.
Seeing Zhu Gaochi on the bed with his pale cheeks, sipping white rice porridge.Chen Lin felt a little better for no reason, and quickly found a reason to leave the residence hall.
This room was just when the poor Prince Yan could no longer smell a little greasy, and started moaning and sighing all day long and could only eat a little rice.The other concubine Yan, whose three sons were not around, also couldn't eat anymore.
"Then Chen Lin has been gone for more than a month, why is there still no news?" Thinking about the fact that she personally hosted a banquet for Chen Lin and gave him many gold and silver utensils for her son, Xu felt a little regretful. stand up.
"Master, master, the capital is here, and His Highness is preparing to greet her!" God seemed to hear what she was thinking, and in the blink of an eye, a little maid hurriedly ran away with a happy expression on her face.
"you---"
"you---"
The two spoke at the same time and stopped at the same time.
Chen Lin laughed again, thinking of a person this way, and that person just happened to appear in front of his eyes.This feeling of being valued by someone and being yelled at by someone made Chen Lin's mouth bend upward all the time.
And Chen Shui, who was standing in front of him, looked at Chen Lin carefully.His eyes looked all the way up from his black boots to his strong chest in a black jacket, and finally moved to his smiling lips and eyes.His eyes darkened for a moment, and Chen Shui said happily in a hoarse voice: "Sword eyebrows, star eyes, and a dignified appearance. I haven't seen you for five months, and my Lin'er has grown up!"
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Chen Lin said, "I'm training every day. I'm a little taller, but it's dark!"
The smile in his eyes was even bigger, and he immediately pulled Chen Lin's right arm, Chen Shui said directly: "When did you come to the capital, father and uncle are talking about you every day, let's go home!"
Chen Lin didn't move, turned around and looked at him, a little in disbelief, Chen Shui immediately said: "You---"
"The front is the Qinhuai River. My brother said before that he would accompany me for a walk. How about we go now?" Pointing at one end, Chen Lin prayed.
It is indeed Chen Shui's previous promise to take Chen Lin to the Qinhuai River for a walk.But now thinking of that place, Chen Shui began to loathe and repel him from the bottom of his heart.
"Okay!" Chen Shui finally nodded to Chen Lin's habitual accommodating and overcame the trace of disgust in his heart.
He ordered the others to leave first, leaving only a tall guard behind him, and then Chen Shui led Chen Lin into the bustling crowd.
The Qinhuai River is the most beautiful place in the whole of Kyoto. This place is full of rich and wealthy, full of brothels, and floating boats.I don't know how many people linger on and forget about the ten-mile Qinhuai River.
There are laughter and laughter everywhere, and there are golden powder towers everywhere.The Qinhuai River in the daytime is already like this, but it can be seen that it is bustling and lively at night.
Chen Shui was always worried that Chen Lin would want to enter the brothel Chu Guan, but fortunately, Chen Lin just looked around curiously, as if he had no intention of going in at all.
The two walked up the stone path together until they reached a white jade bridge.Only then did Chen Lin stop, touching the small wild goose stone lampstand on the fence sideways and feeling startled.
There were people walking up and down behind him all the time, and it was only now that Chen Shui belatedly remembered Chen Lin's current identity.
"You are in the Yan Palace now?" Chen Shui's voice was a little cold when he thought that Chen Lin had been in the Yan Palace for a long time but never planned to go home.
"I have been in Yanwang's mansion for seventeen days. I have been in the mansion for the first ten days and have no chance to come out. In the next few days, you should also know about the accident of Gaoyang County King. Now the prince is sick, and the whole palace is in a mess. No one is there. Never mind, I only had a chance to come out, but I didn't expect to run into you when I went out!"
There was a hint of caution in Chen Lin's smile, and he tried his best to control his temper. Chen Shui couldn't help but said helplessly, "Is it really that good for King Yan?" So good that you left your family easily? ?
Chen Shui didn't ask the last words, but from the bottom of his heart, Chen Shui didn't like Chen Lin's reckless behavior for a stranger.
"He----" lay on the stone railing by the river bank, looking at the sparkling blue waves below.Chen Lin thought for a while before saying quietly: "He treats me well, values me, and trusts me. He is an extraordinary person, and people have to admire him."
Everyone knows the principle of employing people without doubting others, but few people can really do it.But since he sent him over this time and handed over the fate of the three little princes to Chen Lin seriously, Chen Lin has already admired him a little.So for himself, for his rare trust, he will complete this mission excellently.
"But he is just a prince after all, no matter how talented he is, no matter how good you think he is. He is always just a prince, and he is always the master of Yanjing!" I still can't figure out why he would Refuse to contact His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at that time, and choose someone who is nothing but His Royal Highness King Yan.Thinking of Chen Lin's current dilemma, Chen Shui felt a little distressed.
"..." Not knowing how to explain, Chen Lin just fell silent subconsciously.
Seeing him like this, Chen Shui thought for a while and then said slowly: "Father said, don't follow Yan Wang anymore. It is imperative for the court to cut down the feudal clan, so - so you should go home. Wait for you Go home, wait for you to grow up a bit. We will find a way to get you an official position, and then--"
"I have no way out!" I had worked in Jinyiwei before, and the imperial court already had a record.And King Yan also memorized his name, he didn't want to make everything too complicated, and he didn't want to make everything complicated.After thinking for a while, Chen Lin said softly: "I am following the order of King Yan, and I am protecting the son. Now because of the matter of the king of Gaoyang and the king of the three counties, the mood of the son is very wrong. I will definitely not leave at this time , wait---- wait for Shi Zi's body to get better, and wait for everything to settle. I can take a break. I pushed myself too hard before. When this thing is done, I will be Ning Yuan who only knows A dandy who eats, drinks and plays!"
I feel like I can never guess what he is thinking, but seeing him like this, I have no intention of forcing him.
"It's already at the door of the house, you really don't want to go back!" Seeing that he was no longer the innocence and ignorance of the first meeting, Chen Shui looked at him sideways and felt distressed again.
"No, the Jinyiwei of the imperial court is too powerful. Maybe they have turned me upside down by now. If I don't go home, then I will still be the Chen Lin who was driven back to Zhen'an's hometown by accident because of angering my uncle. In this way, if something really happens to me, you just need to tell me that I ran away privately and stop recognizing me. And if I go home, then everything will be in vain. "
"Why are you bothering?" Sighed softly, and then Chen Shui carefully asked about Chen Lin's affairs during this period.
Chen Lin picked up some things that could be said, and after explaining them to him one by one, Chen Shui heaved a sigh of relief.
The two talked for a while, and were silent for a while, and before they knew it, it was already very late.
Seeing that the painted boats on the lake have been lit up, the surrounding lights are brightly lit.Dazed, Chen Lin moved his body and said, "I--I should go back, brother, we--"
"I know you are in Prince Yan's Mansion, I will look for you when I have time!" Knowing that he would not go home, the two old people in the family would think too much, so Chen Shui could only stand up straight with him.
The two stood upright on the bank of the river, and the bank of the Qinhuai River is now extremely brightly lit.In the distance came the voice of the singer laughing and singing, and everything around her was as beautiful as a fairyland.
Hearing the voice, he looked at the younger brother who said he wanted to leave just now, but never moved a step.
He lowered his head and smiled, and after thinking about it, Chen Shui carefully took out a milky white jade pendant from his waist, and gently handed it over to Chen Lin.
"This is---" He lowered his head and took it slowly, through the light behind him.After finally seeing the appearance of the jade pendant, Chen Lin became excited: "This is left to me by my father, you---"
"You fell into the water suddenly, I know you are very good at water, Lord Yama will definitely not accept you. Later, I took some luck and sent someone to the pawnshop to check, but I didn't expect to find this by accident!" The gratitude and joy in Chen Lin's eyes It was too obvious, without thinking too much, Chen Shui said deliberately.
"I---" His hands trembled a little, thinking about his decision when he first entered the pawn shop.Thinking of his disappointment when he went to the pawn shop last time, now Chen Lin's mood can't be calmed down for a long time.
"Lin'er, after you finish everything. When the time is right, why don't you take me to Zhen'an's hometown. I'm also the son of the Chen family, but I haven't been to Zhen'an's hometown once. Isn't it a little regretful to say it?" Chen Shui took a step closer, looked down at Chen Lin's lightly flickering eyelids, and said softly.
The blurred atmosphere on the Qinhuai River in Kyoto and the bright lights made Chen Lin dizzy for a while.The palm of his hand was a little hot, and he tightly held the jade pendant that carried the warm breath of the person opposite him.After a long time, Chen Lin nodded slowly, and said very seriously: "Brother, after I finish everything, we will go there then! We don't care about everything here, just take uncle and uncle away from here, and then we will be safe and sound." Is it good?"
"Okay!" With a smile in his eyes, without thinking too much, Chen Shui nodded softly and said softly.
That night, Chen Lin and Chen Shui lingered by the Qinhuai River for a long time, until it was really getting late, and they parted reluctantly.
On the way back, he thought about the conversation he had with Chen Shui just now.Thinking that they will see all the beautiful scenery of Daming in the future, and thinking that Chen Shui is willing to find a place like a paradise with him, and live a peaceful life, Chen Lin is almost as dizzy as if he was soaked in a honeypot Get up.
Chen Shui was interested in him, which was undoubtedly what Chen Lin needed most at the moment.An emperor with sons and daughters, and an elder brother who is gentle and considerate to him.How to choose between these two people, Chen Lin almost immediately made a decision without even thinking about it.
King Yan may only be curious about him for a while, but he is a man he really likes.I used to be a little panicked, thinking that I would be alone for the rest of my life.But now there is someone who is interesting to him and he feels very good, this is undoubtedly God's love for him.
Chen Shui is an eunuch, he will never get married in his life, so he doesn't have the slightest burden.And Chen Shui has always been very kind to him, thinking of Chen Shui's gentleness, thinking of his thoughtfulness.Tightly holding the jade pendant in his hand, Chen Lin felt that this trip to Kyoto was really worth it.
This time he came to the capital, as long as he sent his son Zhu Gaochi to Yanjing safely.That King Yan owed him a great kindness all his life, as long as he had this kindness, he would let him and his family go.
But now he has Chen Shui again, thinking about Chen Shui's promise, Chen Lin has an urge to deal with everything quickly.
"Chen Lin, work hard! Chen Lin, remember that haste makes waste!" He warned himself in a low voice, and then Chen Lin strode in cheerfully under the unusual eyes of the guard.
In Yan Wang's mansion, Zhu Gaochi, the eldest son who said he was sick, has actually been on a hunger strike recently.
Zhang Wu and everyone in the house were sweating profusely when they learned that Chen Lin had returned.Zhang Wu, who was carrying a vegetable basket, immediately pushed open the door of Chen Lin's room.
"Chen Lin, you kid----"
Zhang Wu, who was still angry at first, suddenly saw someone pinching a jade pendant beside the bed like a big girl who was thinking about spring.Immediately lost his anger: "I said, why is there no one around you all day, boy, so I went to meet my friend."
The word "ah" was dragged by Zhang Wu for a long time, and his face became hot all of a sudden.Chen Lin quickly tucked the jade pendant into his waist, and immediately made a rough voice of displeasure: "What time is it, why are you still in my room?"
Only then did he think of something important, and he stuffed the small basket in Chen Lin's arms involuntarily.Zhang Wu also immediately said harshly: "Go and try it out. Everyone in the house went to the main courtyard this day, but none of them could enter the Shizi's house smoothly. You said that each of them can eat five bowls of rice for a meal." The owner of the white rice has only drank a little water for two whole days, how can he bear it."
I want to talk about his body, even if he starves for ten days, he won't die.But when he thought that the other party was just a child after all, he was also an extraordinary master who would be the prince in the future.So sighing lightly, Chen Lin, who was in a good mood, didn't hesitate at all, and went out of his room with the basket in his hand.
On the way, Chen Lin's stomach suddenly groaned, and he couldn't help but opened the basket to take a look at the dishes inside.After closing the lid quickly, listen to the tummy growl.Thinking of the chicken, duck and fish inside, Chen Lin could only sigh helplessly.
Going around in the huge King Yan's Mansion, Chen Lin arrived at his destination after a while.
Chen Lin came in a hurry and forgot to change his clothes, so he was stopped by many people to ask questions along the way.
Fortunately, the waist card was still there, so Chen Lin was holding a basket in one hand and the card in the other, and finally entered the main courtyard after going through all kinds of hardships.
The lights in Shizi's room were still on, but abnormally, no one was guarding the door.So Chen Lin, who took two steps, immediately said loudly: "My son, I am----"
"Get out! I won't eat!"
Before Chen Lin finished speaking, Zhu Gaochi inside shouted loudly.
His eyes changed slightly, and he could hear that his voice was hoarse, so Chen Lin opened the door of the palace in front of him without hesitation.
As soon as the creaking door of the palace sounded, Zhu Gaochi's voice inside became louder: "Don't come in, anyone who wants to come in, I will destroy his nine clans!"
Finally knowing why no one in the room dared to come in today, he sighed softly.Chen Lin said softly: "Your Highness, today's dishes are not bad, let's eat some!"
"Didn't I tell you not to come in? Didn't I say that I would destroy your nine clans? What are you doing here!" A crying voice came from the right side of the hall.
After not finding anyone for a long time, I suddenly saw a bulge under the curtain under the pillar.Looking at the small round bulge, Chen Lin's heart twitched suddenly.
It wasn't until now that he realized that he knew everything, so he could eat when he needed to and sleep when he needed to.But the child in front of him now thought that he really lost his only two younger brothers.
"Your Majesty, you have been hungry for two days. If you don't eat something, your body will not be able to bear it." Step by step, he stepped forward and gently put the basket on the place, and then Chen Lin persuaded him softly.
"If you can't take it, you can't take it. Anyway, I have no face to stay in this world! No one wants me to live!" The person under the purple veil moved and whispered softly.
"How could it be, son, you are the son of King Yan, a child who was praised by the late Emperor himself. In the future, you will inherit the entire Yan Kingdom. How can you say such despondent words at this time!"
Chen Lin, who was talking, stretched out his hand cautiously, quickly turned around underneath, and without thinking too much, Zhu Gaochi shouted loudly: "It's all fake, the father, mother, and concubine may have died now." I am very disappointed in me. I promised myself in front of my father and king that I will take good care of my two younger brothers. I am the head of the family, and I am the eldest son. My mother and concubine have repeatedly told me to protect my younger brother, but what about me? What about me ? But what did I do!!”
Intermittent weeping suddenly came from under the curtain, listening to this suppressed and extremely familiar voice.Chen Lin was in a daze for a while, and then gave up his idea of dragging him out forcefully.
Moving and leaning against him, Chen Lin lowered his head to listen to the crying, and then said softly after a while: "My lord, let me tell you a little story, a little story that happened on our side!"
The body under the purple curtain paused for a moment, and then Zhu Gaochi was still sobbing softly.
"There is a family in our place. They gave birth to a very good son. The son has a good mind, a good appearance, and a good heart. But there is only one thing that is not good, but his body is not good. The son is very sick. Treatment, in order to cure his illness. The couple gave birth to another child, this time it was a son. With the youngest son, the eldest son’s illness will be cured soon. So the whole family loves the youngest one very much. The youngest son has never been afraid of anything since he was a child, and he wants what he sees. But his family, his elder brother all dote on him."
Not knowing what he was talking about, Zhu Gaochi raised his head and looked at the people around him from under the curtain.
Leaning obliquely on the pillar, slowly stretched his legs.Chen Lin continued: "By the time the younger son went to high school and became a scholar, his elder brother was already a scholar. Even though he was already a scholar, that younger son still only knew how to eat, drink and play all day long. His parents said that his whole life was taken care of by his brother, so that kid never thought about the future.
Until one day, when the half-child was swimming with his brother at home, his legs and feet suddenly cramped.His elder brother immediately went down to rescue him, but at this time the youngest son had already grown very tall.His brother tried his best, but he still couldn't save his younger brother.Just at this time, their father arrived.Without saying a word, he jumped into the water and carried his younger son up, and then turned around to save his elder son. "
Chen Lin, who was talking, suddenly let out a long breath.
"What happened later? Was the eldest son rescued?" Zhu Gaochi asked softly with a pair of red eyes peeking out from under the curtain.
"Later, the child's mother just came home. When she saw this scene, she immediately screamed. At this time, the father had rescued the eldest brother, but the eldest brother was already out of breath. So the father took a few clicks, Press hard on brother's chest!"
Chen Lin stretched out his hands to press his chest, and then slowly put his hands on his abdomen and said in a low voice: "At this time, the second brother wants to go to see the boss, but the father who is usually good to him rushes away." And he yelled."
"What did he call?"
"Get lost! Go die!" Chen Lin said these words in a light tone.
"Then—" After a pause, Zhu Gaochi urged.
"At this time, the child's mother finally stopped screaming. She just looked at her little son fiercely and said calmly, why did you not have the accident? You live to let your brother live well. If something happens to your brother , what use is it for us to support you!"
Zhu Gaochi was speechless for a moment, completely silent.
Looking sideways at him, Chen Lin suddenly laughed and said in a relaxed tone: "These are not the point of my story, the point is that when everyone thought he was dead, the mother suddenly pushed the younger son into the swimming pool , and suddenly came back to life. This story tells us that even if some people want to die, Lord Yama does not necessarily want to accept him. He is dead, but in fact it is possible that he is still alive. So Shizi, the bodies of the two county kings have not been found so far, why the prince is desperate first. Maybe Gaoyang County King and Sanjun King are the ones who want to die. People who may not be accepted. You haven’t seen the corpse anyway, so why can’t you be stronger.”
"I---" Zhu Gaochi stood up eagerly.
Stretching out his hand to pull the basket beside him, he took out the dishes one by one. Chen Lin said softly: "And this story also tells us that we should not just look at the surface of everything. If you don't listen to the whole story, how can you eat it?" You will know that the eldest is the most special existence in the eyes of your parents. You must know that in normal times, the family regards the youngest as a treasure."
"Can---"
"There is a reason why people value the sons and grandsons of the world. The son is the eldest son. Remember that no matter how good your younger brother is, he has already lost to you in terms of status. So you can love them, but there is absolutely no need to worry about it. Without them, your mother will not want you. Because to the prince and princess, you will always be special."
"Really?" Zhu Gaochi showed a ignorant smile, looking at his smile.Chen Lin smiled softly, and then handed over the chopsticks in his hand with a gentle face.
"How old are you, Chen Lin? Is this story true?" Zhu Gaochi took the chopsticks given by Chen Lin, slowly moved out of his body and asked softly curiously.
If I hadn't died, I would be 21 by now.Shouting in his heart, the smile in his eyes became more obvious, Chen Lin replied softly: "I am two years older than Your Highness, I was sixteen not long ago, but now I am seventeen."
Looking at Chen Lin's appearance, Zhu Gaochi showed a dumb look.But then he was immediately attracted by the array of dishes in front of him.
Seeing him go to bring one end of rice, his eyes flashed, and suddenly Chen Lin directly picked up one side of Dongpo meat.Passed it directly to the past and said in a soft tone: "Your Highness hasn't eaten for several days, how can you only eat those things that are not nutritious. Eat this, this is soft enough and nutritious."
"Really?" After chatting with Chen Lin for a while, the mood unexpectedly improved a lot, seeing that he didn't cringe like other people.He also learned from Zhang Wu that his father valued Chen Lin very much now.So Zhu Gaochi took the plate in front of him without hesitation.
"I actually like eating meat the most!" If it wasn't for making himself look thinner, he wouldn't force himself to eat plain rice every day.Thinking that I haven't eaten for two days now, I really should make up for it.So Zhu Gaochi had a cheerful face, and started to eat the temptingly fried braised pork in front of him.
"Your Highness, eat slowly, don't worry!"
Clutching his hungry and aching stomach, he gently persuaded him a few words, and then Chen Lin began to observe his room boredly.
"Uh!"
"Your Majesty, are you like this?"
Not long after Chen Lin waited, Zhu Gaochi suddenly retched, and Chen Lin quickly jumped to his feet.
Then after Zhu Gaochi vomited completely, Chen Lin hurriedly rushed out like crazy and shouted: "Come here, come here, please come to the imperial physician, please Your Highness the imperial physician--!"
"What's the matter? What's the matter?" Xue Wang, who had been hiding not far away, immediately ran out with someone.
Chen Lin quickly explained: "Your Highness, he doesn't eat. I managed to persuade him. But unexpectedly, he just vomited after taking a few bites."
"Your Highness---it must be poisoning, come on, hurry up and tell me the imperial doctor, and hurry up and arrest the cook in the backyard." In fact, he was a little suspicious of Chen Lin, but when he thought of the other party's identity, Xue Wang could only Let Chen Lin go for now.
"What's the matter?" There was such a big commotion in the mansion that almost everyone who could be alarmed was alarmed.Seeing that the room was full of servants around Shizi, Zhang Wu hurriedly asked.
"I persuaded the son to eat, but he vomited after taking a few mouthfuls. Just now Xue Wang went in and thought he was poisoned, so he poured some water for the son. But now the son can't even drink clean water. I vomited more than a dozen times in a row, and now everyone can only wait for the imperial doctor."
After hastily explaining the ins and outs of the matter, Chen Lin stood aside and waited quietly.All the lights in the palace were turned on, and everyone was relieved after waiting for a long time until the imperial doctor came.
"Where is the crown prince?" The gray-bearded Imperial Physician Su hurried in, and the subordinates behind him also ran in with sweat on their faces.
"inside!"
Zhang Wu rushed to greet him, and Chen Lin followed behind.After tossing around in the middle of the night, the imperial physician stabilized the situation of his elder son Zhu Gaochi.
"The prince looks like he hasn't eaten for a long time. People who haven't eaten for a long time are most afraid of fast food. But look at the dishes you prepared. Apart from this bowl of white rice, what else is suitable for a patient to eat. "
The old doctor pointed at the food that Xue Wang had specially protected, saying that this meal should be right or wrong.The cook kneeling outside was already sweating profusely. Hearing the words, he shouted: "I'm wronged, every dish I cooked for the son of the world was done according to the order. There was absolutely no extra dish. Absolutely nothing missing."
"This---I also saw that His Highness hadn't eaten for a long time, so I asked the kitchen to make more of what the prince likes to eat. But who would have thought that this would happen!"
He didn't expect that he would be found on his head after all the checking, Xue Wang also panicked helplessly.
"It's my fault. I also want the son to eat something nutritious. I should let him eat rice!" Chen Lin added in a low voice.
"Fortunately, the official came in time, and the son is fine for the time being. But in the future, we must pay attention to the diet, and---" With a serious face, the old doctor said quietly: "The son is on a hunger strike, so I Don’t dare to be negligent. So tomorrow I will report this matter to the imperial court, so you can take care of yourself.”
Everyone's face changed drastically when they heard the words, but they knew that things were not going to turn around, and they could only wait and see the change.
In the early morning of the next day, after three full days of discussion, the court finally decided on the envoys to report to Yanjing.
Ever since the two brothers of King Gaoyang fell into the water, the court has strictly monitored every official who had been friends with King Yan.Each post station has also sent more people, so Yanjing still doesn't know about it.In order to find a trustworthy, eloquent and observant person, Emperor Jianwen also spent a certain amount of effort.
"Wei Guogong Xu Yaozu, he is the uncle of the two county kings. He saw the two sons of King Yan accidentally fell into the water, and he saw it with his own eyes, so he can believe the king and his wife. And most importantly, after this I can see his loyalty clearly, but I still need to try him again."
His Majesty the Emperor in Fengtian Hall, while reviewing the playbook, explained to Chen Shui in a low voice.
Chen Shui pretended to understand but didn't understand. Seeing him like this, Zhu Yunwen immediately said: "The other one is Li Jinglong, Cao Guogong and the crown prince. He is my cousin. He was the one who moved King Zhou, the brother of King Yan last time. If I let him go, I don't have to worry that he will be bribed by King Yan."
"And Your Majesty can figure out his attitude towards the court from King Yan's attitude towards him." With a light smile, Chen Shui suddenly realized: "If he harbors resentment towards Cao Guogong and expresses it directly, it will be enough to show his attitude towards the court. But if he has a deep sense of righteousness or temporarily holds back, it means that he doesn't have the guts to resent His Majesty or that he has no guts!"
"That's right, smart, a child can be taught!" On the playbook in front of him, he wrote the word "Yun" in a big way.Immediately Zhu Yunwen said leisurely: "I have already ordered them to leave today, and finally pushed this matter out, otherwise my head will hurt to death."
Chen Shui chuckled and didn't speak, but went down to brew a cup of the first-class West Lake Longjing and came over.The light green tea leaves float in the jade-like white porcelain cup, and Chen Shuigang holds it in his hand.Turning around, I saw His Majesty the Emperor sitting behind the desk in front, his face had changed.
"What's wrong, Your Majesty?" Chen Shui asked in a low voice, stepping forward gently, placing the white jade cup on his right side.
"Zhu Gaochi actually started a hunger strike for me. Is he threatening me?" After scanning the memorial in front of him, Zhu Yunqi immediately said angrily: "The people around him are trash, he hasn't eaten for two days , They actually waited for something to happen before reporting it to me."
"It can't be all their fault!" Suddenly tense, Chen Shui hastily brought tea over and softly comforted him: "Your Majesty, don't you remember? When Emperor Xiaokang passed away, you didn't eat or drink for several days I was so worried at that time, the late emperor knew about it at the time, and immediately wanted to chop off the slave's head. At that time, it was His Majesty who knelt down and begged the late emperor to keep my head."
"Your father was also terrified at that time! After being frightened by the emperor's grandpa, I dare not stop eating!" Thinking of the past, Emperor Jianwen was also filled with emotion.
"I don't know what's going on recently, I'm getting more and more angry!" After drinking a cup of tea, and after his nose was full of fragrance, Zhu Yunwen said softly: "Then they won't be punished, but his people No penalty. Our side must let them have a longer memory, and let them all be fined for one year. As for Prince Yan, Ah Shui, remember to send a few more imperial physicians there, and send more bird's nest tonics or something .”
Feeling that his decision was good, Zhu Yunqi threw the notebook aside and continued with the next one.
Just when Zhu Yunxuan was working diligently and conscientiously, reviewing stacks of memorials from various places one by one.Zhu Gaochi, who vomited in the middle of the night in Yanwang Mansion in the capital, finally opened his eyes in a daze.
"My lord, you are finally awake!" With a stride forward, Xue Wang, the little eunuch, burst into tears of joy.
"What's wrong with me?" Feeling weak all over, Zhu Gaoxu scratched his head and wondered.
"It's all my fault, son, I should let you eat rice!" Walking over with a bowl of clear porridge, Chen Lin stepped forward and apologized: "The imperial doctor said that people who haven't eaten for a long time are I can’t eat too fast and I can’t eat greasy food, but I—”
Because he has always suspected Chen Lin, Xue Wang has been watching Chen Lin's every move closely, and has no intention of taking over the bowl.
But seeing Chen Lin coming up, sitting next to him himself, serving him.Zhu Gaochi slowly stood up, but his face was moved: "I don't blame you, you are doing it for my own good. And you have persuaded me to let me eat slowly, but I still eat fast."
Zhu Gaochi finally remembered the feeling of knotted stomach that he vomited last night.Seeing that Chen Lin's bowl contained no gruel except a few scattered grains of rice, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and slowly bent down.
"That guard Chen, let me come!" I wanted to test Chen Lin, but saw that Shizi's attitude towards him was better than my own.Feeling a bit in danger, Xue Wang immediately came up to him.
"Okay!" Chen Lin gave up his seat without hesitation.
Seeing Zhu Gaochi on the bed with his pale cheeks, sipping white rice porridge.Chen Lin felt a little better for no reason, and quickly found a reason to leave the residence hall.
This room was just when the poor Prince Yan could no longer smell a little greasy, and started moaning and sighing all day long and could only eat a little rice.The other concubine Yan, whose three sons were not around, also couldn't eat anymore.
"Then Chen Lin has been gone for more than a month, why is there still no news?" Thinking about the fact that she personally hosted a banquet for Chen Lin and gave him many gold and silver utensils for her son, Xu felt a little regretful. stand up.
"Master, master, the capital is here, and His Highness is preparing to greet her!" God seemed to hear what she was thinking, and in the blink of an eye, a little maid hurriedly ran away with a happy expression on her face.
