Red Mansion Aesthetics Debris Flow

Chapter 97 Relying

It's just that no matter how dissatisfied he is in his heart, Yu Junci will not reveal it to the outside.

He pretended not to see the somewhat evasive and uncomfortable eyes of the old sage, saluted step by step, handed over the booklet, and stood in front of the imperial case with lowered eyes and hands behind his back, as if he didn't know what the old sage was up to recently.

The old sage was very cooperative, or it should be said that he was even relieved that he didn't ask Prince Yizhong about it as soon as he came up.He glanced at the zhezi, with a happy expression on his face, he said "OK", and then forwarded it to Zhong Ning.Zhong Ning blinked, scanned it quickly, raised his eyebrows, glanced at Yu Junci who was standing below, and then faced the old sage with a natural smile on his face:

"Ahem——it seems like it's time for the son to congratulate the father."

"Haha, the soldiers who surrendered without fighting, that Princess Qianxiang really frightened our Han army... Well, she is going to the capital to face the emperor, and choose a son-in-law to marry the Qin and Jin Dynasties? Ha, is it a land of barbarians after all? , I don’t understand the slightest bit of propriety, justice and shame, that’s all, Gu Nianqi is sincere, sure.” The old sage squinted his eyes and said cheerfully.

"Father's literary and martial arts can attract this small country to look forward to it, and this hero can see it. Zhong Ning worships... Cough, cough, cough——cough..."

Before he finished speaking, Prince Zhongning suddenly started to cough a series of times, and his pale face was also flushed due to the coughing.

Zhong Ning's health has not been very good. The weakness brought out from the mother's womb makes him weak and chilly in winter. Now his face is pale and bloodless. The first sentence I uttered was accompanied by a cough.

——This is also the reason why everyone was surprised when the old sage chose Zhongning's successor without saying a word.

The old sage felt a little disappointed, and when Zhongning's cough passed, he asked meaningfully, "You're not feeling well lately."

"It's an old problem, and it's like this when winter comes." Zhong Ning smiled wryly, "I'm so tired that my father is worried."

"It's nothing to worry about, but you have to bear in mind that if you don't have the physical strength to shoulder the world for the king, how can you overcome all difficulties?" The saint reprimanded a few words, and Zhong Ning agreed in a low voice.

When the sage was almost done teaching, Zhong Ning noticed Yu Junci who had been standing silently, and quickly gave him a seat.The old sage seemed to have just remembered that he had left him here, with embarrassment on his face.

No joy or anger could be seen on Yu Junci's face.

As soon as he sat down, the old sage spoke.First of all, he praised Yu Junci for his actions. His grandfather really saw the right person, and he couldn't be more assured of Zhongchun's ability to handle affairs.

Yu Jun's speech was accepted calmly, so he was dumb, it was too difficult for him to operate politely, and he had to spend so much effort to exchange greetings.

What's more, speaking from the conscience, which sentence of the old sage's words is not what he deserves?

The old sage seemed to think that he had already said enough good things, so he jumped to the main scene: "The Liuren Garden will inevitably be deserted in winter. I heard that Chengzuo is sick inside..."

The former prince, Prince Yizhong, was Situya, whose baby name was Chengzuo.

Inheriting Zuo, inheriting the destiny of Tianjing, the country continues to last.

What a true heavenly fatherly love.

Yu Junci lowered his brows and eyes, and when he heard him raise his words, Yu Junci immediately got up, lifted his robe and knelt down and kowtowed.

Both the old saint and Zhong Ning were stunned by his reaction, and the old saint's face suddenly turned ugly.

What is this doing?

force him?

His own grandson, the adopted son who entered the palace since childhood and raised him with his own hands, is forcing him?

Zhongning exclaimed: "Zhongchun, what are you doing?"

Yu Junci raised his eyes to look at the chief eunuch who was standing beside him, and the other party observed his words, and immediately presented him with a pen and paper in a sensible manner.

"Yizhong's health is not good, the Liuren Garden doesn't take good care of him, Zhongchun is not strict with his subordinates, and he is pleading guilty to his grandfather."

Oh, if he hadn't taken the initiative to blame himself, the old sage would have forgotten that Liuren Garden was under his supervision.But by saying this, is it intended to seal the words of the old sage who is going to accept Yizhong next time?The old saint was complicated, and his eyes fell on the "grandpa" on the paper.

Zhang Yuan and...

Ah Wu.

Time has really passed too long, so long that his memory of A Wu's daughter is a little blurred.

They are all poor children.

"Family love is hard to give up, and saints are affectionate." After writing this sentence, Yu Junci raised his head and glanced at the two people with subtle expressions, then lowered his head and continued, "Loyalty is pure and incompetent, it is difficult to share the worries of saints, so I can only ask saints to care about family affection and release righteousness Be loyal to the prince, so as not to regret for life."

"Zhongchun has a very close relationship with Prince Yizhong, no matter how difficult it is to treat him equally, the position of the town's chief is an embarrassing task, so I ask to resign."

Three pieces of paper, three paragraphs, each paragraph made the faces of Shengren and Zhongning uncertain.

At first, I thought that Zhongchun was going to incriminate and seal the saint's next words, but I didn't expect that the next sentence would be that he offered to release Prince Yizhong on his own initiative, and then he would resign again?

What are you resigning from?

Shengren felt very uncomfortable, of course he knew why Zhongchun, a silly boy, said that.

Everyone in the world knows that Prince Zhongchun's surname is not Situ, but the posthumous son of the late Second Princess and Marquis of Zhenxi. After his parents died, he was brought into the palace to take care of him.

Then why can he become the only prince since the founding of Tianli, instead of a county king like the four princes and eight princes?

Because he actually has royal blood flowing through him.

Because he was brought up by the old saint himself.

It's more because...he belongs to the prince.

The meaning of this sentence is manifold.Not to mention grandchildren, even serious sons and old sages cannot teach them to read and write one by one. The so-called "bringing up" refers more to entering the palace and seeing them from time to time.

At that time, the seven-year-old Yu Junci was admitted to the East Palace by the prince who was not yet eighteen, and personally enlightened him, taught him to read poems and books to understand etiquette, and taught him the poems and books of various schools of thought.

Making an exception and conferring the title of prince—even if this prince is just a false name, with no fief and no soldiers—is the crown prince's full support.

The significance of Yujun Ci for a long time is to speak out for the prince as a member of the princeling party.He is the most trusted "sibling" of the prince, and he is grateful to the prince for his kindness.Even the old sage, who was very hesitant about the matter of becoming a king at the beginning, gradually felt that this matter was very good. He even saw the scene where the crown prince and Yujun resigned from the monarch and his ministers after a hundred years, and he was comforted.

It wasn't until Yujun Ci Yichao betrayed the prince's camp, weaved the prince's eighteen major crimes, and reported the prince's treason.

In the eyes of outsiders, it was an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf who betrayed his master in exchange for a stable throne.

Oh, for some insiders, there is one more thing. From now on, Yu Junci, who is never able to leak information, has become the old sage's confidant. The biggest spy chief in the calendar.

A dog that can bite does not bark, this is the feeling of many people.

Is it possible for such a "white-eyed wolf" to ask for the release of Prince Yizhong?

Isn't he afraid that Yizhong will retaliate wildly against himself, a traitor, after he comes out?

To be honest, even the old sage wasn't sure.He is too aware of his son's temperament. Love wants him to live, and evil wants him to die. This is all euphemistic.

His hesitation, or in other words, his hesitation about whether to agree to resign, was seen by Yu Junci.

Well, what are you waiting for?

Yu Junci laughed at himself.

After all, he is a grandson.

Grandson, grandson, after all, there is a foreign word.

The old sage did not lack grandchildren, he did not even lack grandsons, but the only son of Empress Yuan was Situ Chengzuo.

"Whatever Zhang Yuan said, you are not too small, don't always be arrogant."

"You are a good boy trusted by the emperor. The town government secretary is in your hands well, so you are going to let go? People who don't know, cough cough cough... I don't know, I thought it was because I was in a hurry. The old minister of the Qing Dynasty is fighting head-to-head with the father."

At this moment, Prince Zhongning, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly opened his mouth.

When he spoke, he really didn't have the majesty of a high-ranking person, and he couldn't help but clenched his fist against his lips and coughed after saying a few words.

You won't have the heart to doubt anything said by such a harmless person.

So the old sage couldn't refute anymore, besides, he felt that what Zhong Ning said was all right, not only all right, but also very appropriate.If it wasn't for Zhongning, he would almost agree to Zhongchun's plea.

"Zhongning is right, Zhongchun, I know you are a good boy, don't think too much, if you don't know what attitude you will take to face Chengzuo in the future, I will tell Chengzuo not to provoke you again."

With just a few words like this, the three of them finalized the whereabouts of the person in the Liuren Garden, and agreed on the proposal that Zhong Ning, a good brother, should take the initiative to ask the old sage Fang Yizhong to return to the palace to recuperate in the morning.

The old sage was getting old and not in good spirits, and he was a little tired after finishing an important matter with his confidants, and after saying a few more words, Zhong Ning and Zhong Chun knew the opportunity to leave.

"Zhang Yuan, look at how you are dressed, have you cleaned up after returning home?" Zhong Ning suddenly called out Yu Junci.

Zhong Ning and Yu Junci were not very familiar with each other before, and Yu Junci seemed a little surprised by Zhong Ning's sudden inquiry.

In this regard, Zhong Ning behaved much more calmly.

He walked away with Yujun for a while as if he was doing homework, slowly, and sighed as if he had some self-pity.

"I'm Zhongning, the crown prince, and I'm Chengzuo. Zhang Yuan, tell me why there is such a big gap between people."

They are also the sons of the emperor.

He, the sure successor, had to look at the son of the Empress Yuan, the guy who was so downcast that he was imprisoned and proudly called himself "Gu".

Why?

Yu Junci paused, and looked back at Zhongning, who had a leisurely smile on his face.

It was as if the resentful words just now didn't come from his mouth.

Yes, why?Yu Junci also wanted to ask why.

He had to bear the stigma that everyone shunned him, and tortured him in a gloomy and humid cell all day to find his place in this huge imperial city.

He has to carefully calculate when the throne changes, so that the next emperor can accept himself as the "confidant agent" of the previous emperor.

Even for revenge, he had to wait for the other party to form a clique and plot rebellion, and the emperor was so angry that he could only give in in exchange for a "confinement".

Banned!

Xijiang buried 10,000+ people including his father and relatives, and how many people were killed by the floods and plagues in the south of the Yangtze River...they couldn't replace Situ Ya's life!

Why?

If Situ Yafei was a member of the Tian family, Yu Junci would have countless reasons to justifiably put him in the death row, skinned and cramped.

If Situ Ya hadn't been the prince whom the old sage had favored for decades, he wouldn't even have the ability to commit so many crimes.

The salt and iron merchants in the south of the Yangtze River would not dare to shake the country in such a grandiose manner, and there would not be so many empty villages starving to death in the dignified land of fish and rice...

Father will not fight to death in Xijiang alive, and he will die with peace in his eyes.

Mother, she will not die with her younger brother in her womb.

But he is.

Yu Junci smiled and didn't say a word, just handed over Xie Zhongning to smooth things out for him.

"It's just a little effort," Zhong Ning coughed twice, "Zhang Yuan will be your town office director with peace of mind. I can't trust your ability any more."

The author has something to say: Seeing that some girls have guessed because of the word "repeat", indeed, there was a compromise in the first place.

It is also written in this chapter that Brother Yu originally used the evidence of the prince's rebellion to overthrow the prince, but the old emperor used a circle to save his life.

At that time, the old emperor was really angry, but he just thought that he was a royal family after all, so he didn't do anything because he didn't have a precedent of killing his son.

Even so, Brother Yu made concessions. The old emperor knew that if Brother Yu revealed the truth, the crown prince would really be the one to criticize...so he promised that Brother Yu would keep the prince around forever, and then he would bring the Jiangnan case to light. Once the culprit is found, the case is closed.

Unexpectedly, after a period of time, he heard about the prince's tragic situation, and his heart softened again, and he wanted to find a reason to release him.

The situation of Brother Yu is almost clear now. The second princess married Zhenxihou and gave birth to him. After the death of her parents, she entered the palace and was raised by the prince. Well, why did the prince attack the Xihou mansion in Yin Town? Cough cough, this That's another matter.

So Brother Yu is not a decent prince, his status is unstable and he has no reliance, in order to get rid of the prince and gain the right to speak, the self-worth he found is the sword of being the emperor.

On the one hand, he saw through the old emperor's soft-heartedness and retreated to advance. This is on the one hand;

On the other hand, it was also for Zhong Ning to see, deliberately letting Zhong Ning guess that he, the spy chief, had conflicts with the old emperor, so Zhong Ning took the initiative to keep him in the end.

Hope I made it clear_(:з」∠)_
