The emperor's face was livid, and the storm was about to come.
Seeing that the situation was not good, He Zisheng and Gu Chen hurriedly spoke up, trying to dissuade him: "Brother Dahuang—"
"His Royal Highness..."
He Ziming ignored them, and went straight to the center of the hall and knelt down to the emperor: "Please also my father to complete it."
He Ziming was called into the inner room by the old emperor in the eyes of everyone's panic. He Ziming and the old emperor had a private conversation for more than three days.
He Ziming is not suitable to be the crown prince, nor the future prince. Many people in Daxing know that, including the old emperor, but due to his preference for his wife and prostitutes, the old emperor chose to let He Ziming be the prince...
He Ziming knew this very clearly, so after the old emperor called him into the inner room, he did not panic, but calmly chose to be moved to his father as a son rather than a courtier. Acknowledging the reason, explained the pros and cons of the matter, and explained that the position is not suitable for him.
After thinking for a long time, the old emperor compromised with He Ziming because of his preference for the eldest son.
Three days later, the emperor personally decree to abolish the prince, and the former prince He Ziming changed the title of prince An.
Prince Ann, Prince Ann...
After fully understanding that He Ziming is not suitable and unwilling to sit in that seat, as a father, the old emperor only hopes that his eldest son can be safe and happy.
Now it is He Ziming who has chosen to give up the throne. In the future, no matter which of his brothers will be on the throne, he thinks about this, and coupled with the title he left on He Ziming, he will offer He Ziming and let He Ziming be a prince of leisure. This life is over.
This is the last time the old emperor, as a father, can give his beloved son a little bit of his heart.
At the same time, in the same case of buying and selling officials, the crown prince broke out that the prince was abandoned after Long Yang's good... The difference is that the former prince was the prince who was deprived of the position of prince by life, but He Ziming now I chose not to be the crown prince...
Therefore, the results obtained are quite different. After the prince of the previous life was exposed to his sleeve-breaking habit, he was ridiculed and scolded, and his hostile forces from all sides ran up unanimously, scrambling for fear. He kicked him one foot after another, wishing to step him in the mud, lest the emperor's favorite crown prince turn over... And this life is also the good of Long Yang, because He Ziming chose to give up. The crown prince will not become their rival. The hostile forces who stepped on He Ziming in the previous life all turned to hold He Ziming... Respect him as Prince An, and even respected him when he was the crown prince. Hurrying to give him male pets and child prostitutes.
They all knew that He Ziming only liked men and had no intention of being in the throne, so He Ziming, who would not become their rival, and the old emperor's favorite son, was tantamount to a sweet pastry in their eyes.
The relationship with him was lukewarm, but the brothers who were smiling and hiding the knife all started to rush to get close to him, trying to win him over.
And He Ziming, who changed his title to Prince An, completely unloaded the burden on his shoulders, and officially began his life in which he would not care about the drunkenness of the paper, spend time and drink, and no longer have to be afraid of the spokesperson’s verbal criticism and being held by others...
The small days can be said to be so comfortable that they can no longer be comfortable.
"Hey, host, since you changed your title to Prince An, you haven't seen Gu Chen for two months. How did his favorability for you increase again? And He Zisheng, why did his blackening value increase again? What?" Just when He Ziming was in love and drunk, the mechanized voice of the system rang curiously in He Ziming's ears again.
After a quick glance above the main hall, He Ziming and Gu Chen never saw each other again. Gu Chen will continue to wait at the gate of Prince Ann's Mansion in the future. He Zisheng has been here several times, but he called He Ziming to the caller. Pushed out.
Without contact for such a long time, the system thought that Gu Chen’s favorability and He Zisheng’s blackening value would both drop...
I don't want to, the favorability and blackening value of these two people because of He Ziming not only didn't drop, but they all soared to more than ninety all the way, and they were about to be full.
Hearing what he said, He Ziming chuckled: "Of course their favorability value and blackening value will rise. He Zisheng and Gu Chen are princes and family children, one was born in the palace wall, and the other grew up in Kyoto. To put it bluntly People who follow the rules and obey the rules, how can you see such apostasy?"
"The more disdainful such a person is, the more I yearn for apostasy in my heart. I dare to love and hate, dare to admit that I am a broken sleeve in front of the emperor, and resolutely give up the crown prince that everyone dreams of. , How can you not let them be shocked?" He closed his eyes and said: "Besides, I have come to this point, but I am forced by them, but I am not willing to succumb to my fate."
He Ziming chuckled: "How can they not be touched by it?"
When he was with Gu Chen, he had already made the plan to resign as the crown prince for him. Now that Gu Chen betrayed him, he still admitted that he liked men in front of the emperor without changing his original intentions. The crown prince resigned resolutely, no one else is in his calculations, and he doesn't know...
But how could Gu Chen remain unmoved
The system seems to understand but does not understand, and it does not quite understand the meaning of its own host.
"Furthermore, I am so handsome and handsome, Yushu Lingfeng, and so domineering and mighty when I kneel in the hall. He Zisheng and Gu Chen have no reason to fall in love with me and want to kneel in front of me." He Ziming went on. Love, smiled and said, "This is the charm of the soul, hahaha... Tsk tsk."
system:"… "
He understood this sentence.
He had never seen such a shameless host.
The system didn't say anything, and He Ziming didn't entangle him anymore. He was happy to lie down on the chaise couch and watch the play comfortably, listening to the music.
"The king... the prince." At this moment, the butler of the palace hurried in.
He Ziming was still a little unaccustomed to hearing people call himself the prince. After a moment of daze, he got up and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Gu... Master Gu, he..." The butler ran out of breath and couldn't even speak clearly.
He Ziming didn't listen to him after he finished speaking, but only heard one Gu Gongzi, and he frowned first and said: "Didn't this king say that you should never mention this person in front of this king from now on?"
"Gu Gongzi, he is in an accident." The housekeeper watched He Ziming grow up, and knew that He Ziming valued Gu Chen, but he didn't bother him. He hurriedly hurriedly said the words.
He Ziming paused, his palms clenched his fists unconsciously, and his eyebrows were tightly furrowed.
After a while, he looked away and asked, "What happened to him?"
"The old slave heard that Mr. Gu broke his leg for Mr. Gu, and he will raise him in bed for two months. Before he gets well, he started quarreling with Mr. Gu again. Now he is in front of the emperor." The old housekeeper said anxiously. .
He Ziming's eyebrows frowned: "How could Master Gu interrupt his leg properly? What can he do to make trouble in front of his father?"
It can be said that Gu Chen has been hurt by Gu Chen but still can't forget him, acting hard and softly...
"I heard that it was the day when the prince changed his title to the prince. The prince Gu went crazy and imitated the prince in front of the elders of the Gu family. The old man interrupted his leg, and the Gu family suppressed the matter. They only claimed that Mr. Gu was sick, and asked him to take care of him and reflect on it..." The old housekeeper said: "But Mr. Gu didn't have all his legs, so he made trouble again as soon as he got off the ground. Get up, say, say..."
He Ziming couldn't wait to ask: "What else?"
He was really fed up with the old butler's gasping temper.
"I also said that he must marry the prince. If he can't be with the prince, he would rather die... Gu Da's popularity is too popular and said that he will be killed on the spot. "The old butler finally finished talking.
He Ziming was stunned on the spot.
Although he knew that this would be a great shock to Gu Chen, Gu Chen's 95-point favorability level later proved this point, but he really didn't expect Gu Chen to do this...
Publicly proclaiming that he likes men, and clamoring about marrying men to be male wives or something. For Gu Chen, who is a scholar and a family background, this obstacle is not small, and his determination is not small.
You know, when he liked He Zisheng at the beginning and knew that he liked men, he still married a wife for the future and reputation...
And now...
He Ziming suddenly felt that Gu Chen might not be as unbearable as he had thought before, but it was a pity that everything was already destined.
Everything is too late.
At this moment, the shrill voice of the eunuch rang out from outside the door: "His Royal Highness Prince An, the emperor announced that you will be in the palace immediately!"
When Gu Chen's affairs were in front of the emperor and were still related to him, then the emperor naturally had to let him go to the palace and have a face-to-face questioning. He Ziming only heard the eunuch's voice, and he had guessed that this matter was probably related to Gu Chen's matter.
Now, what should he do
Although the companion of the emperor is like the companion of the tiger, He Ziming's body has become the emperor's favorite son, and he is not so disappointed. When the emperor summoned him, He Ziming didn't even think about entering the palace.
The carriage stopped all the way to the entrance of the Imperial Study Room.
When He Ziming was greeted by the little eunuch, Gu Chen was kneeling on the ground with a bruised nose and gauze on his legs. It was obvious that his father had been hit hard.
Both his parents and elder brothers were there, and when He Ziming came in, Grandpa Gu couldn't help but raised his head and glared at He Ziming with anger.
It means that this unreliable former prince who broke his sleeves has ruined his son.
He Ziming arrogantly entered the study as he went back to his own home. After seeing such a family, he immediately pretended to ask: "What's the matter? Father, how can you take care of the adults and the family."
When the emperor saw him coming in, he immediately explained the causes and consequences of the incident in cooperation with him.
"Boss, tell me, what is the matter between you and Gu's child? People are making trouble with the family for you now..." He also made a selfless and unbiased appearance. It seems that a bitter and bitter enmity is going to be fair to the Gu family and asks He Ziming.
He Ziming: "..."
At this moment, he felt that the old emperor in such a scene did not look like a wise and martial emperor. On the contrary, he looked like someone who had grown up the belly of his daughter because of his shameless son. The old father of the aftermath.
"Back to the emperor, Erchen... Erchen doesn't know anything." He Ziming didn't even look at Gu Chen, just replied without hesitation.
No matter what Gu Chen did, since they had broken up, there was no reason to look back.
Besides, He Ziming's temperament has never been a temperament that can be used to threaten others at will...
As soon as He Ziming pulled out the ruthless and unacceptable words, Father Gu's expression immediately changed. He never thought that his son had done this for He Ziming. The former crown prince could actually say this. Words come.
He Ziming could see that if the emperor hadn't been in front, he would be the prince again... This old man Gu would almost rush to beat him...
so what
No matter it is him or the cruel prince, he has no shame in regard to Gu Chen, and has never done anything wrong. The person who is wrong has always been Gu Chen...
Therefore, He Ziming had never been afraid of anything. Instead, he straightened his waist to meet the gaze of Old Man Gu.
It can be said to be extremely confident.
"Asshole thing, because you made it like this, the Gu's child did not know anything? What did you say to me?" This time even the old emperor couldn't stand it anymore. The one who pretended to be angry was to throw it at He Ziming. A tea cup passed, reprimanded.
He Ziming didn't dare to contradict him, and let the old emperor scold him without saying a word, but his arrogance was still arrogant, as if he didn't think he was at fault and he didn't intend to take responsibility.
It seemed that Gu's family wouldn't fight, but because of the emperor's presence, he didn't dare to say anything.
After the old emperor finished reprimanding He Ziming, he immediately changed his face and looked at Gu Chen and asked gently like a kindly elder, "Gu's child? What do you say about you and Prince An, don't you? I'm afraid, I am here, and I will give you the shot, Prince Ann dare not do anything wrong."
The old emperor also heard about the fact that He Ziming and the second son of the Gu family were very close before, and the two often slept on the same couch.
He didn't think anything was wrong before, but after He Ziming openly said that he only liked men, he had to think more...
Originally, when the incident was brought to him by Gu Wen, the old emperor also thought that since the two children were in love with each other, it would be okay for him to come forward and give him the marriage, so he called He Ziming.
But it's unbelievable that his son is such a jerk who shows that he has played enough and doesn't admit it.
As a result, the old emperor, even the ninth-fifth emperor, was too tough and aggressive, so he had to treat Gu Chen amiably to justice.
"Father -" He Ziming cried out dissatisfied, trying to interrupt the old emperor.
The old emperor glared at him coldly, and said with an aura: "There is no place for you to speak here! Shut up for me!"
He Ziming had to shut up.
"Gu's child, say it." Seeing He Ziming's mouth shut, the old emperor looked at Gu Chen with a gentle expression.
Gu Chen dragged his uncompleted leg forward and knelt down and said loudly: "In response to your Majesty, the minister has secretly admired His Royal Highness Prince Ann for a long time. All of this has nothing to do with His Royal Highness. His Royal Highness is indeed unaware of it. ."
"It's you who admired Prince Ann secretly, Prince Ann didn't know all this?" The old emperor looked at him with scrutiny eyes.
Gu Chen answered without hesitation: "Yes!"
When a person really starts to love someone, he will start to want to ignore the strength of the other person, and protect the other person behind him, so that he will not be disturbed by the wind and rain.
And now, Gu Chen finally started to understand...
He now values He Ziming more than himself.
"The minister did not expect that my brother would misunderstand such a misunderstanding, causing the scandal in the family to come to your majesty, and let your majesty read the jokes. All this is the fault of the minister and has nothing to do with Prince An. Please punish your majesty!" Gu Chen solemnly walked towards the emperor. In a gift, I carried everything on my shoulders.
He didn't want to make things like this, he just put a word in his own home, but he didn't expect that his father would actually kill him. His brother believed that he and He Ziming were in love with each other and stabbed the matter to save him. The emperor's side.
He didn't know how to face He Ziming now.
Without a word, the old emperor looked at Gu Chen for a long time.
As time passed, everyone in the study, except He Ziming, began to sweat uneasyly on their foreheads, and the emperor said again: "Since you admire the eldest son of the Gu family, Prince Ann has not yet established a concubine and has a family. One person is missing, you see..."
This is the meaning of giving marriage.
Everyone heard what the old emperor meant.
"Father!" He Ziming exclaimed in dissatisfaction.
The old emperor glanced at him displeasedly: "Shut up!"
"Father, you can't give a marriage at will!" He Ziming risked the guilt this time and said what he wanted to say.
"Why can't I?" The old emperor was already extremely annoyed, and immediately said: "You don't want to be the crown prince, and you don't like women. I'm all up to you! Why? Now, as the emperor, I am your father. Does the emperor even have the qualifications to give you marriage? You like men, and I plan to give you a marriage man. What else do you want?"
He Ziming said in a loud voice: "Father, even if your son likes men, not all men like it!"
As soon as he said this, everyone present couldn't help but change.
The expressions of Gu Chen's parents were even more embarrassing.
But He Ziming was not moved by it, he was still standing there.
"Presumptuous! Where is the reason for you to speak here? I don't like Gu Qing, what kind of man do you like, are those inferior Yingyingyanyan in your house?" The old emperor was frustrated and took another vase and threw a vase on He Ziming again. Past.
He Ziming stood motionless and let him smash.
Gu Chen quickly got up with a limping leg, abruptly blocking the blow for He Ziming, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, your anger, Your Majesty, the ministers are not willing to make trouble for Your Majesty, but also ask your Majesty to take his life back. !"
Everyone was taken aback when the vase hit Gu Chen.
Even He Ziming's attitude is not as tough as before...
"I don't need you to be hypocritical!" But after a moment, he immediately regained his toughness.
The Crown Prince is no longer there, and he is not qualified to forgive Gu Chen on his behalf.
The more he took this attitude, the more angrily the old emperor saw, he shot the case fiercely, stared at He Ziming, and said, "I have never taken back my will. Not only do I want Gu Chen to be your Princess An," And you and your Yingyingyanyan are all clean... Do you think you don’t need to care about the royal face anymore if you are no longer a crown prince, can you do it recklessly? Look at yourself, He Ziming, you have all recently What kind of style has it become?"
"From now on, when Gu Qing marries your palace, Gu Qing will decide your palace and let him take care of your rules and conduct!" The emperor was furious.
The old emperor’s sorrow for He Ziming’s marriage can be said to have been a long time ago. After He Ziming made it clear that he liked men not to be with women, the old emperor’s sorrow was even worse. Even if He Ziming could not be with a woman, he would not have children, he I still hope that He Ziming will have a companion who can live with each other in a hundred years from him, instead of continuing to be so lonely and lonely without even having a home.
However, even if he is worried, the old emperor said that he only likes men because of He Ziming, which is not easy to refer to marriage at will...
Because he doesn’t know whether people like men or not. If he casually points to his son to marry his own child for his own son. Up.
This is not the original intention and original intention of the old emperor.
Therefore, after Gu Chen jumped out, the old emperor was really happy. He felt like Gu Chen’s family has a good family background, and he also likes men with good conduct. He likes his son’s male daughter-in-law, and he is just playing a lantern. It's hard to find.
Originally, because the Gu family had brought this incident to him, he meant to accuse him of his eldest son, the old emperor still had some criticisms against Gu Chen in his heart.
But after seeing Gu Chen taking everything on himself, he didn’t say anything bad about He Ziming...
The old emperor felt that Gu Chen should not be missed, and He Ziming must be married to him.
