In the Peach Blossom Hall, the queen mother Jiang is dignified and faces the autumn water of the pond. There is a pavilion by the water, on which is enshrined the sword "Tianyue" handed down from generation to generation by the Jiang family and passed down by Jiang Zhao during his lifetime.
Empress Dowager Jiang took down the Tianyue Sword and gently pulled out the blade, the cold light reflected on her aged face.
"Have you asked Heng'er to pass by?" Jie Gui asked from the side of the Queen Mother Jiang.
Empress Dowager Jiang said lightly: "I just came back, let him rest for a while. He is like his father, working hard for the country."
Jie Gui said: "He still knows, no matter how hard it is, he will suddenly notice it today."
The Empress Dowager Jiang said: "He will know sooner or later. What Jiang Heng said today, although he did not mention Lang'er, but inside and outside the words, people can't help but think of him."
Jie Gui: "But he has no evidence at the moment, it's just speculation."
The Empress Dowager Jiang sighed: "The king of the country, what evidence do you need to kill a child? I am old, and I can't hold a sword. Even if I can hold a sword, how can I do it? Who else?"
"Except for Lin Hu's child, there is none." Jie Gui said.
"The people of Wuluohou's family are still alive?" Queen Mother Jiang said.
Jie Gui said: "I tried to kill him, but it didn't work, but Heng'er stopped him. When the great shaman was delivering the queen's birth, he brought him into the palace. At that time, he was still young, and he was not sure about it. Remember."
Empress Dowager Jiang said: "He won't move a hand in the palace, just go and guard him."
Jie Gui folded his fists and bowed to leave. Empress Dowager Jiang returned the sword and sheathed it, and the sound of gold and iron mingled loudly, startling the birds in the forest.
Tai Taki felt that something was wrong with his father today, and he couldn't say what the problem was. It stands to reason that what Jiang Heng mentioned at the council meeting was not just described as "merciless". These words, no one dared to say to his father for too many years.
However, Jiang Heng believes that he not only has courage, but also has the most important identity. He is Geng Yuan's nominal eldest son. No one can put forward the relationship between the Geng family and Dayong, and the loyalty to the Ju family. question. He must watch Dayong flourish, otherwise he will have nowhere to go. Jiang Heng will not be able to collude with the four southern countries, nor will he have personal interests.
What's more, Jiang Heng is still their cousin, he is not influenced by personalities, has no interests, and has no position. Although his words were sharp, I really felt that he was right, and that my father would definitely accept it.
Guan Wei also said that back then, as the struggle between the scholar-official families became increasingly fierce, few people dared to say such things. During the two political discussions in the East Palace in the Spring and Autumn of the year, scholars brought news from all over the Yong Kingdom for Tai, and were no less motivated to criticize the ills than Jiang Heng.
But in the end, Mrs. Taki chose the softening method and selectively reported Xu to her father, which made it difficult to solve Xu's problem.
Of course, doing this also saved the life of the person who raised the dissent.
He knew that it was not easy to govern a country, and his father was very tired. And Zeng Rong even reminded him secretly that Dayong's problems are not in his hands, sooner or later, he will face some problems and solve them. Why not leave it to do it yourself later
Patience is a good medicine, he needs to learn to wait.
Jiang Heng pushed forward to arrive early, and also let Tai Taki really understand that he couldn't wait any longer for the problems of the people.
Jiang Heng's words today are very encouraging to Mrs. Tai. Since he was established as the heir, he has taken responsibility for it. He really wants to do something for the country. However, in Juicong's eyes, he was always a little kid. This is also why he did his best in the exit battle last year.
Just one day, he finally realized that he was still far behind in terms of love, whether it was the panic when his father was suddenly assassinated or the questioning of Jiang Heng in the political debate. He had to admit that he was not ready to become King Yong, even though he felt like he had been waiting for a long time.
He decided to go to Jiang Heng, put away the contempt he had been holding towards him, and tried hard to tell himself that Jiang Heng was also his cousin, and like Geng Shu, he was his sibling, and he shouldn't have Jealousy is.
Tai Taki spent a whole day, and the book written by Jiang Heng made me dizzy.
Tai Taki walked to the bathroom, saw Jie Gui guarding outside, made a "shush" action, and heard the conversation between Geng Shu and Jiang Heng inside.
"He has to give you an official position," Geng Shu said, "otherwise it would be too shameful."
"He thought about it a long time ago," Jiang Heng said, "It must be the Grand Historian, and there is nothing else."
"You're too anxious," Geng Shu said, "Father will be angry today."
"It must be today." Jiang Heng replied, "Do you know why? Because only today will no one doubt me, and have made confessions and exchanged statements with the ministers of the DPRK and China. It will not be any party. I didn't even see the wife's face, so naturally it wasn't the Donggong's order..."
Once Jiang Heng rests in Luoyan for a few days, and then asks for a political discussion, the situation will become more complicated. In a few days, he will talk to different people, and even if he is not bribed, his attitude will be less. impact.
"I thought you would rest for a while." Tai Taki said, standing outside the bathroom, "But it's fine, Heng Er, you said something I dare not say."
With the sound of water splashing inside, Jiang Heng quickly stood up, while Geng Shu was soaking in it, and the two were talking in a low voice, but I didn't expect that Tai Taki was actually a mess.
"Go back and wait for a while." Geng Shu said in a displeased voice.
Jiang Heng said hurriedly, "His Royal Highness."
Jiang Heng was naked, and he didn't know whether to put on his clothes and go out, or to continue washing inside. Tai said: "It's okay, I'm sitting outside for a while, why are you hurrying back, I haven't spoken to you yet."
Having said that, Mrs. Taki sat down outside the bathroom, and said again: "You have more courage than me, Heng'er, I have to learn from you. I'm really useless."
"Why did you say anything?" Jiang Heng smiled, "I am a courtier, you are a wife, I can say what you say, but you can't say it, cousin."
When he arrived silently before, Jiang Heng happened to be talking with Geng Shu about the issue of government affairs. I don't know if he heard a lot, but Jiang Heng still likes him and thinks that he has an advantage that Juicong doesn't have - mind.
He will introspect himself, and he knows that his ability is limited, and he is willing to listen to the opinions of others, which is precisely what he can say to the monarch, which is an extremely important quality.
Geng Shu said, "What are you doing?"
Tai Taki said, "I'm just that, Heng Er lost a lot of weight, hasn't he eaten yet?"
Jie Gui said, "Princess Wu Ying asked him to come over."
Tai Taki smiled: "Then get up."
Geng Shu used to be a little annoyed with Tai Taki, and he couldn't tell what was bothering him. Maybe it was from his intuition. Tai Taki always gave him the idea of replacing Jiang Heng and becoming the person closest to him, or To fill the position that he once held after Jiang Heng left.
But Geng Shu was reluctant to admit that Jiang Heng was dead four years ago, and he didn't want anyone to remind him. Tai Taki stayed with him, as if forcing him to accept Jiang Heng's inevitable departure, just to bother him.
And Jiang Heng is still alive, Geng Shu doesn't care much, and as long as the people around him treat Jiang Heng well, Geng Shu will also favor him.
He softened his breath and asked, "What did the king say?"
"He didn't say anything." Taitaki said interestingly, "But I expected Heng'er to be very angry with him, no matter what. It's been a long time since no one dared to confront him in person."
Jiang Heng said, "Besides the monarch, there must always be someone to dislike, otherwise it will be over."
Tai Taki said sincerely again: "He doesn't hate you at all, Heng'er, you are amazing. What you did is exactly what I always wanted to do."
His wish was to be like Jiang Heng, to travel every inch of his country, with Geng Shu by his side. As the Crown Prince, he could not go anywhere, and when he spoke, there was hurt in his voice.
"I'm here for you." Jiang Heng couldn't linger any longer. He was wearing clothes inside, and when he saw someone, he got up and entered.
"I know." Tai Taki looked at Jiang Heng quietly. Jiang Heng had already put on his underwear, while Geng Shu was naked. He tied his robe belt for him, just like his bodyguard.
"I know." Tai Taki said again, a little annoyed. Under the uncertain indoor light, he suddenly remembered that he had never seen Geng Shu naked. They took a shower when they were away, and in Geng Shu's palace, they also followed the etiquette. To meet the royal family with Jin etiquette, one has to dress upright and bare in front of the royal family, which is very rude.
Geng Shu's figure is like his father's figure. Tai Taki has an almost obsessive and fanatical fascination with martial arts practitioners. He gives him unquestionable protection and safety. As long as he is by his side, he doesn't need anything. bear.
Sometimes he even wanted to get close and stroking Geng Shu's body, just like stroking a sword. That masculine and strong physique gave him a sense of security and worship.
"Let's go." Geng Shu put on his clothes and tidied up his robes, and Mrs. Taki saw the jade pendant that Geng Shu was wearing in front of his chest again.
He was wearing that piece of jade, no matter when and where, as long as the jade was there, it meant that they still had the most important token of contact with each other, and Geng Shu still belonged to him.
The moment he saw Xingyu, Tai Taki suddenly thought about it and laughed again.
Geng Shu: "?"
Jiang Heng made a "please" gesture, which was a bit embarrassing. Of course, he knew who Tai Taki belonged to, and he also knew very well that when dealing with a monarch who was not in his prime, he must respect him, not to mention himself. He also robbed his things, such as his people, his eagle, and his guards.
As far as the current situation is concerned, the others, too, don't care too much, the only one who cares a little is Geng Shu.
But Jiang Hengxiang prides himself on being insightful about people. He believes that he can get along well with Mrs. Taki, as long as Geng Shu listens to his dictates. He's not like a slut who is always worried about losing Geng Shu, after all, his family is by his side.
Geng Shu wanted to hold Jiang Heng's hand, but Jiang Heng avoided it imperceptibly. Behind Tai Taki, he shook his head lightly at him, signaling to outsiders not to be too close. It was also on the way back to Jiang Hengchao. Geng Shu repeated it countless times.
"Fairy Wood"
Don't think that if Geng Shu gets close to him, he will be able to close his relationship with the royal family, which will only make others feel that Jiang Heng is arrogant.
Tai Taki said, "I'm sorry for the mountains and rivers. I was still very poor when I left."
Jiang Heng smiled and said, "They didn't blame too much."
Tai Taki asked again: "Everyone said that Shan Ze is the most famous handsome man of Di people, is that true?"
"His Royal Highness thought to save his life, just because he was good-looking?" Jiang Heng smiled, "You should be able to see him soon."
Tai Taki and Jiang Heng laughed at the same time.
"They all say that Shan Ze is very smart, what do you think?"
"It's true." Jiang Heng replied, "If you are willing to use him regardless of past suspicions, then Shan Ze will be a talent in the East Palace."
"Where did you hide him?" Taitaki asked.
Jiang Heng knew that no one could hide the problem, so everyone didn't ask, just believed that he would have a solution.
"In an inn run by Diren in the city," Jiang Heng replied, "Yuanfenglou. Do you want to go to him? I suggest not now."
Tai Taki replied naturally: "I was just looking for you to discuss how to reverse the verdict for Di Ren."
"Reversing the verdict may make people unhappy." Jiang Heng said with a smile.
Tai Taki was stunned. He was not used to the cleverness of the Central Plains people to say half a sentence and hide half a sentence. Jiang Heng was habitually trying to keep the words out of the way, and gave the hint to the monologue. It took him a while to understand.
"That's up to the king to decide," Tai Taki replied. "You've already persuaded him half of it, and the other half, it's up to me to do it."
Jiang Heng nodded and replied, "There is a saying, Shan Ze is destined to be yours."
