"...So, you two brothers have already discussed in private who will take over the position of your imperial grandfather in the future, and now you come here to inform your father?"
There are several banana plants planted outside the study room of the East Palace. The drizzle falls on them, rustling like countless spring nibbling leaves. The noise is full of vitality.
It's just that the evil spirit in the prince's tone at this moment diluted this heavenly sound. He smiled brightly - but his increasingly sharp eyes gradually annihilated all emotions, and looked at his eldest son and youngest son coldly, "Although It is said that your imperial grandfather is old and your father is no longer young, but now he is still in good health, and his father has been in the army for half his life. It seems that you don’t need to worry so much, right? "
Hearing the anger and sarcasm in his father's tone, Jiang Yadan felt embarrassed: "Father, this is not what I and my nineteenth brother meant! It's just..."
"It's just that you can't refuse your nineteenth brother's request?" The prince said mockingly, his razor-sharp eyes sweeping over the youngest son, "After all, you are the one who was cultivated by your imperial grandfather - I can see your character at a glance!"
Compared with Jiang Yadan's embarrassment, Jiang Yashuang was calm and composed: "My child has always known that Brother Bago will definitely let me leave him alone when it comes to serious matters!"
"So you can feel free to disregard filial piety and brotherhood?!" The prince suddenly raised his voice!
Jiang Yadan was startled and quickly tried to intercede: "Father, this is not the fault of the nineteenth brother, it is the child..."
"Shut up!" The prince glanced at him coldly and pointed at the youngest son, "You speak for yourself! You have the ability to persuade your eldest brother to let you go, and you have the ability to incite him to come here with you. Don't tell me that you don't Stand up from behind your eldest brother and answer me openly!"
"Dare you disobey your father's orders?" Jiang Yashuang calmly pulled Jiang Yadan's sleeves, walked from behind him to the front, bowed to the prince, and said calmly, "My child has been taught by the court since childhood, how dare you forget The word 'filial piety'? But the child also understands the word 'do one's duty'!"
The prince laughed out loud: "What a 'doing your duty'!" After laughing, his face suddenly turned gloomy, "Then tell me, why do you do your duty?!"
Before Jiang Yashuang could answer, the prince had already asked sternly, "Since ancient times, there have been direct descendants and no direct descendants! You have your eldest brother in front of you. You should have been content and think about how to assist your brother in the future, but now you are not only worried Ambition, and using brotherly love to force your eldest brother to come... "
"Father, the child was not forced by the Nineteenth Brother. The child came here voluntarily..." Jiang Yadan, who thought he had to say something to his brother, interrupted midway, but was stared at by the prince with a sharp look and retreated without saying anything...
Although he was interrupted like this, the prince's momentum did not fall but rose. He turned his attention back to the youngest son: "You disobey the elders, hold your brother hostage, and make arrogant opinions on the throne... It can be said that you are disobedient, unfilial and unjust! Your conduct is so corrupt, Even now that you are the king of the county, you still think that you are of my Jiang family’s blood, do you think you are worthy of doing so?”
"Father is not the eldest son! The third uncle is the eldest son of the imperial grandfather!" Jiang Yashuang listened to the prince's heart-wrenching scolding, but her expression was always as calm as water. Her simple words made the prince almost roll up his sleeves, "It shows that I The rule of the dynasty is neither to establish direct descendants nor to establish elders, but to establish virtuous people! So why should a child recommend himself? "
Jiang Yadan wiped away his cold sweat, smiled dryly, and was ready to calm down the atmosphere, and even rushed to hug his father and tell his brother to run away. Unexpectedly, although the prince slapped the case hard, the angry expression before disappeared. He looked like he had regained his normal expression: "Very good! You are very good! Even your uncle would not dare to say such a thing, but unexpectedly it came from your son's mouth! It seems that you are not allowed to show it today. Look at your 'Xian', are you absolutely unwilling to do so?"
The prince said these words calmly, but Jiang Yadan was frightened when he heard this. He knew that his father was probably really angry and wanted to smooth things over, but he racked his brains and couldn't find the right words. Jiang Yashuang had already said: "My child is not here yet." Ji Guanbian is the best girl in high school, and she knows her homework without asking!"
"According to what you say, all the top academic candidates have the qualifications to be masters?!"
"Since I entered the official position, I have been evaluated in the Hanlin Academy, Yushitai, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and all of them have been evaluated at the top level!"
"One is that the person in charge of the evaluation is afraid of the power of my Jiang family. Unless you are really unworthy of training, he would dare to give you a bad evaluation?! It's just for the sake of your imperial grandfather, and you have the nerve to blame yourself! The other is that you Your imperial grandfather has given you careful guidance since childhood, and you still often go to the palace to ask for advice and listen to the holy teachings - if you don't even have this ability, how stupid can you be?"
"My father only has three sons. Now the eldest brother has voluntarily given up. Although the second brother has not returned yet, my father did not take him with him when he returned to Beijing. It is obvious that he has no intention of choosing the second brother to inherit the throne! Who else can he choose if he does not choose a child? ?”
Jiang Yashuang frowned when she saw her father refuting the reasons she listed sentence by sentence, and simply pointed out, "Is it true that my father intends to skip the next generation and choose from among the grandchildren?!"
Zhu Shaoguo is not joking! Especially how old are the prince's two most outstanding grandchildren, Jiang Jingkun and Jiang Jinglang? Jiang Jinglang is still Jiang Yashuang's son!
"Your eldest brother let you go because of friendship with your siblings, and he was also deceived by your sweet words - why do you plan to count yourself as a 'virtuous'?" The prince laughed angrily, "I often live on the border and don't know that my son is among them. You are so shameless!"
Jiang Yashuang said calmly: "A wise man has many talents! If he can convince his elder brother with his words, why can't it be regarded as a child's 'virtuous' attribute?"
"I'll say it again: The reason why Dan'er was persuaded by you was purely because of you! It's not because of your eloquence!!!" Even though the prince was still sneering, he couldn't help but be so angry at his upright boast that the veins on his forehead jumped. Shoot the crime and roar again!
"This just shows that the child knows how to adapt!" Who knows that Jiang Yashuang didn't mind Jiang Yadan being beside him at all, and said calmly, "Ever since my father came back and made it clear that he was interested in Ba Ge, there has been a turbulent undercurrent in both the government and the public. Although the people who supported Bago and the child didn't fight each other publicly, they had fought against him countless times in private! In this case, the child did not become disheartened and fell into despair; nor did he attack his brother regardless of brotherhood; he directly attacked his brother. I made an appointment with Bago for a chat! It not only shows that the child is accurate in judging people and knows that this will definitely persuade Bago to give up, but also reflects the child's character and does not blind his eyes to power and hurts the harmony between his family members... "
"Do you still think that you asked yourself to become an official because I clearly expressed my concern for Dan'er, and you did it to be filial to me? Later, I disagreed, and you stayed immediately. This is even more filial and obedient on your part. Proof?" The prince looked at him with a smile, "So I am lucky enough to have a son who is pure, filial, considerate and can be a model for the whole country?"
Jiang Yashuang stretched out her hands from her rolled-up sleeves and bowed: "Father is wise!" Although there was no smug and frivolous expression in his expression, he was calm as if the praise was well-deserved. !
"Clang!"
The flat bottle with the Doucai Consecrated Farming Picture from the famous kiln of the previous dynasty hit his feet directly. The prince was so angry that he gasped for a long time before he could curse out: "You are so shameless! You can tell me!"
"The child just can't bear to kill each other!" Jiang Yashuang glanced down at the broken porcelain in front of her feet - a few pieces of it hit him when they splashed, but the weather hadn't gotten hot yet, and he was still wearing a jacket, so he didn't feel it. It hurt, so I only glanced at it casually, then raised my head, looked directly at the prince, and said word by word, "Haier, Brother Eight and Brother Sixteen grew up together in the capital. Although there is an age difference between them, they have always been harmonious and friendly! Brother Eight My father has been back in Beijing for a few days now, but I can’t see that he is not willing to be restrained by the boss! In this case, why should my father force me to give this position to my son?”
"I'll give it to you if you tell me?!" The prince stared at him for a moment, then suddenly sneered and pointed in the direction of the main hall of the East Palace, "Then do you know how much I, a father, have paid for my current position? At what age can I summon you here as the master? Just because Dan'er is willing to let you go, you think I have to give it to you! Even though I am only three sons, I will not be coerced by you. Stop it! You’re just out of your mind for this idea, do you understand?”
Hearing this roar, Jiang Yadan was terrified and winked at his brother frequently, asking him to apologize - but he almost tore Jiang Yashuang's sleeves. Jiang Yashuang actually didn't move at all, didn't even turn his head, and said calmly : "Father, why are you doing this? How could you not know what the child really wants to say?"
"So what if you know?" When the prince heard this, he did not continue to have an attack, but was silent for a brief moment - his expression during silence was weird and complicated, and then he sneered, "You convinced Dan'er first today, I asked him to see me again, obviously because I wanted to cut the slack, but I also felt that I was still very reasonable! But your truth is only your truth after all, and now it doesn't matter whether it's the East Palace or the court, in short, it's the same in all places. I don’t want you to be in charge! So I don’t agree with you, so you better go back to the official department and continue your work! Do you know?”
Obviously the prince is in a very bad mood now. He has lost interest in arguing with his younger son and directly brings up the dual identities of father and prince to suppress him!
Jiang Yadan was afraid that his brother would not be able to think about it and would continue to contradict him, so he went up to him, grabbed his arm, and dragged him outwards. While dragging him, he apologized and said with a smile: "Father, my nineteenth brother drank too much today. You don't know that he has never had much capacity for alcohol... I'll definitely persuade him to come and apologize to you later!"
In terms of strength, Jiang Yadan was no longer a match for Jiang Yashuang. However, Jiang Yashuang hesitated for a moment, but did not resist. He let him drag her out - but when he reached the door, he turned around, full of deep meaning. He said to the prince: "Father, such harmony and tolerance between brothers and sisters is what many parents and elders dream of. Do you really not care about it at all?!"
"..." The prince's angry eyes flashed with confusion for a moment, and then turned cold, "After you step down this time, you will not be allowed to appear in the East Palace in the future if nothing happens!"
"Why are you so ignorant of glances today?" After the two brothers went out, Jiang Yadan complained to his brother, wiping his cold sweat, "It's not like I can't accompany you next time. You have to say everything today. What? Especially the fact that my father is not the eldest son of the emperor, is this what we, as sons, can say? Are you out of your mind?"
This was the first time in many years that Jiang Yadan taught his younger brother such a serious lesson. However, Jiang Yashuang ignored him at all. After a weird smile, he said lightly: "Bago, do you think the reason for my father's anger is really me?" Did your words violate his taboo?"
"What?" Jiang Yadan was startled.
Jiang Yashuang dusted off her sleeves, but had no intention of telling him in detail. She just said: "Father asked me not to appear in the East Palace if I have nothing to do in the future... I will go back now, and Brother Bago can do what he wants!"
"This kid..." Jiang Yadan, who was confused, couldn't stop shouting after several times. He watched him go away and couldn't help but get angry, "Should I just throw it away after using it?!"
