The Times Spent in Pretense

Chapter 38: good brother

Views:

"Royal father, in your heart, is this kind of person?" The prince looked at Emperor Changlong with a slightly hurt expression.

"I made a slip of the tongue for a while, my son is both civil and military, and his appearance is unparalleled, why do I need to do such illegal things as robbing civilian girls." Changlong felt ashamed for his random speculation, "By the way, I got some interesting things a few days ago. , I will let Zhao Sancai send it to the East Palace."

After promising a lot of benefits, Emperor Changlong saw that the prince's complexion was getting better, and curiosity prevailed: "Which girl do you like, I will ask her parents to propose marriage."

The prince did not speak.

"Is it the Du family and Yao family in East Street, or the Tian family and Chen family in South Street?" Emperor Changlong frowned, "Can't it be your cousins?"

"Neither." The prince shook his head, "I still don't know her intentions, I'll talk about it later."

"If you really like others, you should tell the royal father earlier, and the royal father can help you to do it first." You can eat anything, you can't let your son suffer.

"If you help my son to match, you can't refuse whether she likes it or not. With her character, even if she initially likes me a little, it will turn into a complaint, and in the end, I don't know if it's a good fate or a bad one. "The prince solemnly said to Emperor Changlong, "There is nothing wrong with her identity. Now my son does not want to force her or let her be taken away by other men."

Emperor Changlong was quiet in his heart. Yuan Su had always acted casually and didn't want to be wronged, but now he thinks so deeply, it seems that he is really moved by that woman.

Love is for it.

The only thing that puzzled him was why Yuan Su said he was a beast? Emperor Changlong thought about it, and there were countless thoughts in his mind.

Is the other party a married woman? This kind of thing can't be done, even the prince would have to break his leg.

Is the other party older than him? Female juniors, hold golden bricks, and if they are bigger, they should be holding a few more bricks. It is not a big deal, and it is not a beast or a beast

Is it...

Emperor Changlong's expression froze. Could it be that the little girl is still relatively young

Thinking of this, Emperor Changlong looked at the prince with a dignified expression, and said earnestly: "Yuansu, whether it is a person or a job, a noble or a lowly status, some things can't be done, and you can't stretch your hands, do you understand?"

The prince looked at Emperor Changlong inexplicably: "Father, don't worry, my son will save it."

Seeing that the Crown Prince spoke decisively, Emperor Changlong felt a little relieved. Even being an emperor, being both a father and a mother is not easy.

After the Hundred State Banquet is over, he should call his ministers to discuss whether the court should give a favor to the helpless single-parent family.

This can not only relieve the pressure of adults, but also reduce the occurrence of abandoned children and illegal trafficking of children. It's just that no matter how good the idea is, there may be loopholes and even more troublesome things.

Therefore, for each decree, he and his ministers had to imagine it countless times before they dared to issue it.

It is not easy to be an emperor, but it is easier to be a foolish king. Emperor Changlong turned his head and glanced at the crown prince, the heir was too lazy, and he, a Laozi, didn't know how long it would take to let go of the burden on his shoulders.

The crown prince looked up at Emperor Changlong's face, and knew what he was thinking, and quickly said: "Father, the emperor, they all said that they should start a family and establish a business, and the sons and ministers have not even married, and you can't count on your sons for other things."

"I didn't say anything about the useless things."

"But your eyes have said everything." The prince said confidently, "You are in your prime and your son is still young, so don't think about other things."

"It's already past the age of the weak crown, still young?" Emperor Changlong said, "When I was as old as you, I was already on the throne to handle political affairs."

The late emperor favored the demon concubine in the harem, not only promoting her whole family, but even wanting to abolish his crown prince position and establish another prince. The demon concubine's family forcibly robbed the women of the people, occupied the common people's land, and fished the common people, according to the imperial history, but they were blocked by the demon concubine at the gate of the palace and beaten to death.

He stood on the city wall, watching the Censor's wife with a big belly, holding the Censor's corpse and crying so hard that he felt cold all over.

Everyone knows that when the emperor is angry, he buries millions of corpses, doesn't the emperor himself know

Therefore, after he ascended the throne, he reminded himself from time to time that even if he could not become an emperor with a long-standing reputation, he still had to guard the great Jin Jiangshan.

What is Jiangshan

Is it the majestic mountains and the rushing rivers

No, it is the people who live on this land.

"Father," the prince said, "My son heard that Du Taishi seems to be ill."

Hearing the prince's voice, Emperor Changlong came back to his senses, and he sighed: "Tai Shi Du is a great scholar." But he was not a qualified official.

"You go see him for me." Emperor Changlong thought for a while, "Master Du has a stubborn temper. If he says something inappropriate, you should not hear it. When you come back, I will give you a few more boxes. Jewel, save your daughter-in-law's book for you."

"My son understands." The prince said, "In recent years, when has my son ever bothered with him?"

Anyway, this kind of old man who doesn't know how to adapt, although his temper is stinky and stubborn, his loyalty to the father and emperor has never changed.

Du Songwen is really not very good.

He has been the emperor of two dynasties. Because of his outstanding talent, he became an official of the East Palace at a young age. Later, the emperor was infatuated with the demon concubine. Because he always stood by the prince, he lived a very comfortable life after the prince ascended the throne.

Everyone in the world thinks that he is very strict with the prince, but he just thinks that the prince is the future emperor, and he is afraid that the prince will become like the first emperor, and the people in the world will suffer.

Du Songwen lay on the bed with a sallow complexion, and the whole room was filled with the bitter smell of medicine. He opened his eyes with all his might, looked at the children and grandchildren in the room, and waved to Du Xiuying with red eyes: "Come."

"Grandfather." Du Xiuying forced a smile, crouched beside the bed, and gently held Du Songwen's wrinkled hand.

"You really don't want to marry the prince?" Du Songwen asked.

Du Xiuying lowered her head and said nothing.

"That's all." Du Songwen sighed, "I wanted you to stay with the prince and remind him what was right and what was wrong. But I'm afraid, if the prince hates you, how will you spend the rest of your life? That's fine. ,fair enough."

"Grandfather..." Du Xiuying couldn't hold it any longer, the tears that swirled in her eyes flowed down her cheeks.

"It's my fault." Du Songwen closed his eyes, "I'm always worried that the prince will become like the late emperor, but there are all kinds of people in the world, and no one can grow up according to the standards of others. I have been stubborn over the years and have offended the prince many times. What will you do after I leave?"

Even a saint will be closer to his own family, not to mention Du Songwen is not a saint.

"After I leave, you will do your best to assist Your Majesty and the Crown Prince, and you must not think of anything else." Du Songwen took a breath and continued, "Although the Crown Prince is not perfect, he was raised by His Majesty, and he must have some of His Majesty's virtues. Although princes have their own advantages, in the end they can’t match the style of princes. If you feel disobedient, then… then…”

"Then the Du family's genealogy was expelled, and future generations have nothing to do with the Du family."

"Father, son, etc. will not go against your wishes." Du Xiuying's father knelt in front of Du Songwen, weeping, "Father, please rest well, you will be well soon."

"My own body understands it myself." Du Songwen looked at Du Xiuying, "Xiuying is a good child. You can't stop her from what she wants to do in the future."

"My son understands." Mr. Du was already at the age of knowing the destiny. He knelt in front of Du Songwen's bed, crying like a child. He also complained that his father was not flexible and stubborn on weekdays, but at this moment, there was only reluctance left in his heart.

"My lord, the Crown Prince has come down."

Suddenly there was a clamor outside the door, and the prince wearing a brocade robe and a jade crown strode in: "Master Du, I didn't wait for the announcement and entered the residence hastily, please forgive me."

"His Royal Highness." The Du family did not expect that the prince would come in person, and they all saluted the prince.

"Everyone, please don't be too polite." The prince walked quickly to the bed, and when he saw Du Songwen's face, he knew that he was not well.

"Master Du." The crown prince took a step back and gave Du Songwen a junior salute, "I am very worried when the royal father heard that the master is ill. Because he is not suitable for leaving the palace, he specially asked Gu to visit."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En." Du Songwen wanted to return the salute, but was held down by the prince: "Sir, you are the teacher of the father and the emperor. You are alone as a junior. You should salute you. You have a good rest and don't worry about other things."

The prince asked the Du family again how Du Taishi was ill and what medicines were used. After the Du family replied: "When I came here alone, I brought a few imperial doctors and some medicinal materials. If you don't mind, let me alone. The imperial doctor has come to give Du Taishi a pulse."

The Du family was overjoyed when they heard this, and quickly thanked the prince.

After the imperial doctor checked the pulse, he glanced at the prince. The prince put Du Songwen's hand into the quilt and pressed the quilt for him: "Master Du, go and see how the imperial doctor uses the medicine, and come back later."

Du Songwen looked at the prince who got up and left, and there were faint tears in his eyes.

The prince walked outside and saw that the imperial physicians were looking bad, and asked in a low voice, "How is the pulse condition of Grand Master Du?"

"Master... the lamp has run out of oil." The imperial physicians said helplessly, "Please forgive me, the ministers and others are helpless."

The prince was silent for a moment: "Is the pulse accurate?"

"Unless Taishi Du is a master who can change the pulse condition with the help of internal breath, otherwise..." the imperial doctor said, "Most people in the world learn Kung Fu from outsiders, and almost no one practices Internal Breath Kung Fu."

These words almost made it clear that Du Songwen had no cure.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and the prince looked back, it was Master Du and his daughter.

"His Royal Highness, the lower officials have already heard the words of the imperial physicians." With tears in his eyes, Mr. Du bowed to the imperial physician: "Everyone should try their best to treat them. If you can't...that can ease my father's pain."

The imperial physicians returned a salute: "Please don't worry, Master Du, Xiaguan and others will do their best."

The prince returned to the inner room, and when he heard Du Song heard calling him, he walked back to the bed.

"His Royal Highness, I am afraid that this old minister will not succeed." Du Songwen said forcefully, "I also ask Your Highness to learn more from His Majesty the way of being an emperor, don't slack off."

"Don't worry, Grand Master, I will meet you alone." The prince saw Du Songwen stretch out his hand, and gently held the old hand.

"The old minister has criticized His Highness a lot over the years, because the old minister did not do well." Du Songwen looked at the young and powerful hand of the prince, "The old minister believes that His Royal Highness has a bright future."

"Gu know that Taishi is deeply in love with Gu, and he takes responsibility." The prince said in a gentle voice, "My father often said to Gu, when Concubine Xiao controlled the harem and scolded my father a lot, Taishi, you are unwilling to be with them. People join forces, insist on coming to give lectures to the father every day, and run the court for the father. These things, the father will remember them, and the lonely will also remember them."

"This is just the responsibility of the old minister."

Seeing that Du Songwen was tired, the prince comforted him a few more words, and only released Du Songwen's hand after Du Songwen fell asleep.

Du Song heard how critical he was to the prince these years, and the Du family knew it. However, the prince repaid his grievances with virtue. He not only carefully asked the old man about his medication, but also accompanied the old man to talk for so long.

How many people can do this kind of tolerance

Even if the prince has other shortcomings, they are innocuous little faults, and they do not affect the prince's character at all.

Du Xiuying was the one with the most complicated mood. She followed her parents to send the prince to the door. After the prince left, listening to the elders complimenting the prince, she began to reflect on whether she was too arbitrary when evaluating others.

After the end of the Spring Festival, Hua Changkong spent two days of lazy days of eating and sleeping, and sleeping and eating. When he heard that when he was participating in the imperial examination, his younger sister ran to Lefang to play and was caught by the prince, and suddenly lost the thought of making up for sleep, and found Hua Liuli who was sitting in the yard basking in the sun: "Sister, is Lefang fun? "

Hua Liuli said bitterly, "It's all vulgar powder."

"The requirements are quite high." Hua Changkong asked the servant to move the chair over, and he sat next to Hua Liuli, "There is no fresh and delicious little beauty in a place like Lefang, it is better to raise two gentle and fair people. Scholar, he knows the sentiment, but also has no dustiness."

Hua Liuli waved her hand: "I'm not interested."

"Why, you don't want to raise your face, do you want to do something else?" Hua Changkong reached out and poked Hua Liuli, who was too lazy to move, "Tell me about the third brother, what new hobbies have you recently?"

"No." Hua Liuli sighed, "In the past few days, the Lefang restaurants have become more boring. In the past, I could watch the dance and enjoy the music. Recently, they have played a game of memorizing poems and making pairs. If I want to play These are not as good as playing with the noble ladies in the capital, at least they play at a higher level."

"It's going to be the Hundred State Banquet soon. It's better to rectify it. If people from other countries dare to commit crimes in the realm of Dajin, we'll be able to trouble them." Hua Changkong said, "Otherwise people will ask back, and you'll be in Dajin. Fuck, why can't we do it. You say, this is not a slap in the face?"

Hua Liuli snorted and covered her face with a piece of gauze to prevent the sun from getting too hot and tanning her face.

"Isn't Hua Dynasty Festival tomorrow?" Hua Changkong said, "I made an appointment with a few students from the capital to go out for a green outing in the suburbs. Will you go with me, or with other little sisters?"

"I'm going to find Jiamin, I won't go with you." What's the point of a tough boy, it's more fun to bully a little girl.

"Okay." Hua Changkong did not insist, "There will be many people tomorrow, you are not familiar with the roads of the capital, don't get lost with the little sisters, remember to bring Iris and Yu Rong with you."

"Okay." Hua Liuli nodded, "Don't worry, I can't get lost so easily."

Hua Changkong smiled and stroked her head without speaking.

Captured by Jin Po Kingdom, the second Prince Ava finds that he has an extra neighbor. Recently, after he stopped going on a hunger strike and wanted to see Hua Liuli, he finally lived a life of food and drink. In addition, he was locked in prison every day and couldn't move, and the whole person actually gained a lot of weight.

It's just that the cells on his left and right sides were empty, and the jailer of Dali Temple didn't like to talk to him, so he was going crazy because of his idle time.

Finally, a neighbor came over. He abandoned his noble identity as a prince and took the initiative to speak to the other party: "Brother, what crime did you commit to be locked here?"

Yun Han glanced at the fat man with a double chin and unshaven beard, tidied up his wide sleeve robe, and ignored him.

"Dumb?"

Yun Han did not move.

"Deaf?"

Yun Han ignored him.

"Fool?"

Yun Han couldn't bear it any longer: "Shut up."

"A lowly prisoner, you are so rude to me?" Although Ava didn't dare to provoke the people of Dali Temple, he still had a sense of superiority in the face of other prisoners. He took the initiative to talk to Yun Han, but also because of the sense of superiority that he had nowhere to put.

As a human being, you can only be happy by hitting others.

Yun Han looked at Ava with the look of an idiot, they were all prisoners, who was more noble than the other

"Do you know who I am?" Ava touched the corner, found a moldy steamed bun that had been sitting for an unknown time, and threw it on Yun Han across the cell fence, "Pay attention to your eyes."

The moldy steamed bun hit his face and fell on his clothes again, Yun Han's face turned gloomy: "Go away, stay away from me."

Snapped.

Another moldy bun was thrown onto his Yun Han's face.

But this time, it was not thrown by Ava, but by the prisoner on the other side of the cell.

"If the newcomer understands the rules or not, the seniors should listen carefully. If you don't understand the rules, when it's time to let loose, the brothers can teach you the rules." The prisoner sat cross-legged on the ground, looking like an expert.

"Yes, yes, you must teach him well." Ava clapped his legs and laughed, "I don't like this kind of pretentious little white face the most."

"Shut up." The prisoner looked at Ava across a cell, with disdain written all over his body: "Jinpo's defeated dog is not worthy of talking to us Dajin people."

Ava: "..."

Dajin doesn't have a good thing, not only those officials hate it, but even the prisoners in the prison are not a thing.

In a hurry, he picked up a piece of mud and threw it at the prisoner. But across a cell, where did it hit? Finally, the mud fell on Yun Han's head.

"Brothers, this Jinper dog dares to be arrogant, clean him up!"

"Smash him!"

For a while, stinky steamed buns, dead mice, and broken shoes flew out of the cells. It's a pity that Ava's cell was far away, and most of the things fell into Yun Han's cell.

Yun Han looked at these disgusting messes, his robes were too dirty to see, and his whole body collapsed.

These vulgar and extremely ugly people dare to treat him like this.

After he goes out, we must let these people die!

Snapped.

A stinky shoe fell against Yun Han's forehead. He couldn't bear it any longer, covering his mouth and retching.

"Don't make any more troubles. If you make trouble again, the lunch will be halved today." As soon as the jailer said these words, the entire dungeon fell silent. The prisoners, who were still full of foul language just now, sat more well-behaved than anyone else.

Those who can be imprisoned in Dali Temple are all people who are involved in major cases but cannot die for the time being, so they know better than anyone else about the principle of accepting it as soon as possible.

"Who, what are you still doing, clean up the cell by yourself." The warden knocked on the door where Yun Han was with a stick, and turned to ask the jailer behind him, "This person just came in, who is this guy? What kind of case did you commit to the prison?"

"This person was sent in by Pei Shaoqing himself. His identity is very questionable, and he may be involved in several major cases in the past." The jailer said quickly, "Pei Shaoqing said that before the case is cleared, we must look at him."

As a person from Dali Temple, the warden naturally knew what the previous major cases were, he glanced at Yun Han critically: "The demon in the demon is not a serious man at first glance, and there is no shortage of men in the quarry. Someone, take him there."

"Remember to ask him to change his clothes and put on coarse sackcloth." The warden glanced at Yun Han's face, "When I take him out for quarrying tomorrow, remember not to let him come into contact with worthy female relatives. Pretending to be pitiful, seducing any noble woman to fight for him will bring us trouble."

The warden has been working for a long time, and he has encountered all kinds of prisoners. In order to escape the crime, the prisoners, the beautiful men and the beautiful women, made every plan.

Better to prevent it in the future.

After noon, the prince sat in front of the desk and wrote a few invitations with fragrant paper, but he was not satisfied. Some are too reserved, some are too extroverted, and there is always something missing.

Even if he had a title, he had changed several.

The girl of the Hua family is too polite to speak to her sister like an elder brother, and it is too polite to call the princess directly, and it is too sloppy to call Liuli directly.

"Forget it." The prince put down his pen, turned and walked out.

"Your Highness, your robe." The attendants quickly chased after him.

After leaving the palace, go all the way to Hua's house. The prince sat on the back of a horse and stared at the stone lion at the entrance of the Huafu for a long time.

The new guards at the gate of Huafu did not know the prince, and when they saw him dressed in extraordinary clothes, followed by people dressed as eunuchs, they stepped forward cautiously: "May I ask who you are looking for?"

"I heard that the third son of your house's exam is over, come and see."

"It turned out to be His Royal Highness." The guards saluted, "His Royal Highness, please come in, the third son is in the mansion." The guards respectfully led the prince inside while notifying the master that the prince was coming.

Hua Changkong was a little surprised when he heard that the prince had come to find him on purpose. When did he and the prince have such a deep friendship, but he just participated in a spring festival, so is it worth the prince to visit in person

When their parents went out today, Hua Changkong went up to greet the prince in person. The two exchanged greetings for a while. Seeing that the prince was looking outside frequently, Hua Changkong thought he was waiting for the second elder, and explained, "Two hours ago, my father heard about Du The Grand Master was seriously ill, so he went to visit with his mother. I didn't know that Your Highness came, and I missed you, so please forgive me."

"It's Gu rashly visiting, what's wrong with the sky." The prince turned the teacup in his hand, "The county master is in the mansion. Gu came this time and brought some food she likes."

"Please wait a moment, Your Highness, Wei Chen will ask someone to call her sister."

"You don't have to mobilize people like this, it would be bad if you disturb the rest of the county master." The prince pretended to be polite.

"The prince came in person, and the sister-in-law should have picked him up." Hua Changkong arranged for the servant to call Hua Liuli, "Although Your Highness is on good terms with the sister-in-law, you can't treat her like this."

Pay, pay

The crown prince is a little guilty. Could it be that Hua Changkong sees his intentions

"That girl is childish. The more you get used to her, the more disrespectful she becomes. Even if you treat her as your own younger sister, you must have some rules."

The prince sighed faintly, if it wasn't a last resort, who would want to be a good brother to the person he likes
