You hear it, do people say it?

The news that Prince Ping's son beat Zhongshuling's grandson half to death in the street and threw him at the gate of Zhongshuling's mansion spread throughout the capital in less than a day.

Xun Jing looked at his nephew kneeling in front of him, sighed with a headache, took a stack of memorials on the table, and handed it to Xun Yi: "Look at it yourself."

Xun Yi took it, but didn't open it: "This is a copybook handed to you by the officials, and my nephew dare not read it."

Xun Jing snorted coldly: "You know these messy etiquettes now, why didn't you remember when you hit someone earlier?"

Xun Yi didn't say anything.

Seeing him like this, Xun Jing said helplessly: "That kid from Zhongshu Ling's family is indeed a little frivolous; if you really don't like him, when it gets dark, ask someone to wrap him in a sack and beat him up, and you're done. Why do you have to do it yourself?" Get started?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the mountains of notes on the table: "Just this night, the notes on your impeachment flew to my desk like snowflakes. Even if I wanted to pretend I didn't know, there was nothing I could do."

Xun Yi lowered his head: "My nephew was impulsive and failed to take care of the overall situation, causing you trouble, please punish."

Xun Jing looked at him with lowered brows and eyes, as if sincerely admitting his mistakes, and suddenly his heart moved: "You have always disliked making troubles, and you seldom interact with courtiers on weekdays, but today you are so restless, which makes me a little curious. gone."

He said in a calm manner: "You said earlier that he stopped your car and insulted you, so you did it?"

Xun Yi still lowered his head, and his attitude was very sincere: "It is true. But it was too reckless for my nephew to do it directly at that time."

But Xun Jing laughed: "The last time you did something impulsively and secretly, was at the beginning of this year, when I planned to listen to the queen's persuasion and point out her natal niece to you as the concubine."

"You were anxious when you heard it, and you refused before I finished speaking, and said that you would not get married if you were not the person you like in this life; but when I asked you who the person is, you hesitated and refused said."

The hands in Xun Yi's sleeves were unconsciously clenched, but nothing showed on his face: "That day when my nephew contradicted you, it was really because I had something to belong to, and I couldn't bear to disturb that lady's marriage; but what happened today is really true. It's—"

"For Fu Ziyu."

Xun Jing smiled, but there was not much smile on his face: "It's not a secret that you rode with him yesterday, and it's not a secret what that kid from the Lin family said at that time; Ming, but still won't mention him at all, will you?"

Xun Yi said: "He regards me as a friend, so he will ride with me; and it is because of me that he suffers from these speculations for no reason. He is really innocent, so my nephew didn't mention it."

Xun Jing looked at him, and suddenly sighed: "He just arrived in the capital, and you hurried out to provoke others, and you always look for opportunities to be with them these days, you are so obvious, do you really think I can't see it? "

"I...I never thought I could hide it from Uncle Huang." Xun Yi raised his head and looked at Xun Jing with the same expression as usual, "It's just that this matter really has nothing to do with him—— "

"Since you know that this incident happened because of you and has nothing to do with his words and deeds, then you should stay away from him in the future." Xun Jing said lightly, "Lest you cause any troubles and get involved for nothing. killed him."

Xun Yi's calm expression finally changed: "But——"

"He is Li Yun's direct grandson, and he is also the future pillar that I have high hopes for; I don't want him to be criticized and fabricated gossip because of you before he enters the court." Xun Jing looked at him. One glance, "Do you understand?"

Xun Yi fell silent.

Undoubtedly, Xun Jing was right.

When Fu Ning was in Yuezhou, he was a well-known talent in the south of the Yangtze River. He also performed well in Guozixue. He was lagging behind in everything in literature and martial arts; He was born well, and given time, he would surely soar into the sky.

But if I have been in close contact with him now, although he can still go his own way, when some people talk about him, they will inevitably bring some strange speculations—even those who are good at things will learn from him based on their talents All positions are assigned to him.

And he could have been aboveboard.

These are the unfinished words of the current sage, and they are also things that he has long understood, but has been reluctant to think about.

Even so, even knowing this, he still—

"My nephew understands what Uncle Huang means." He straightened up and looked up at Xun Jing, "But my nephew is happy with him, and he is the only one in my heart in this life. You told me to stay away from him, for the sake of the public and the court." Tang, my nephew dare not disobey; but my nephew can't let him go, and then watch him raise eyebrows with a stranger in the future."

Xun Jing looked at him deeply, with no joy or anger in his eyes: "Even if he will be criticized and ridiculed by the world because of you?"

"I fall in love with him, not because I am happy to see him, nor because I am moved by sex, but because I want to know him and fall in love with him, and stay with him for this life; if he is willing, then we will be in love with each other. What's so shameful?"

"Then what if he doesn't want to?"

"If he doesn't want to, it's all my own wishful thinking. If people in the world want to laugh, they will only laugh at me, and praise him for being bright and bright, not being deceived by power. This is also a kind of best of both worlds."

Xun Jing said: "It's the best of both worlds for him, what about you?"

"The reason why Uncle Huang left me in the capital, although you have never said it, but I know it well; if I am ridiculed because of this matter, it will be beneficial to the country, isn't it just right?"

The twilight of the morning sun slipped in through the window, illuminating the hall with bright colors.

Xun Jing looked at the young man kneeling in front of the hall with a firm expression, and he was dazed, but he seemed to see the same fearless man many years ago.

After a long time, he suddenly sighed softly.

"That's all. I'm too lazy to take care of your affairs, so you can do whatever you want. There's only one thing. From now on, you're not allowed to mess around in the daytime, and I have to clean up the mess for you."

Xun Yi looked at him in astonishment: "Uncle Huang——"

Xun Jing waved his hand: "Get up, kneel down for a while, your auntie will get angry with me again when she finds out."

He watched Xun Yi get up, and said again: "But if you beat someone in the street, it would be unreasonable for me not to punish you; you should not go out this month, and your monthly salary for two months will be deducted. When you come out, go to the middle school again." Shu Lingjia apologizes, and forget about it.”

After Xun Yi left, the eunuch next to Xun Jing came in and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you haven't rested since the morning court. Would you like to ask the Imperial Dining Room to bring some snacks, so you can rest for a while before reviewing papers?"

Xun Jing didn't make a sound, and said after a while, "That's fine. You can ask them to make a bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus and almond tofu."

"Yes." The eunuch replied, and walked out lightly.

The hall was silent, Xun Jing looked out the window, and suddenly laughed softly.

"If I had half his courage back then—ha." He shook his head with regret and sigh, "How dare I."

I started working hard! ?
