Chapter 177
As soon as he returned to the palace, Yan Jinting couldn't wait to ask, "Father, why did you present a man to His Majesty?"
King Zhen's complexion was not very good, but he didn't have an attack either. He calmly took the hangover soup brought by the servant, took a sip, and then heard Yan Jinting ask again, "What if His Majesty accepts them?" ? Father, you know very well”
"Clang!"
King Zhen suddenly became angry, and the bowl in his hand slammed on the ground, and the fragments flew up, and some of the hangover soup also splashed on the two of them.Yan Jinting used to look a little resentful, but now he was even more frightened, his body trembled, and his fear overwhelmed his resentment.
King Zhen looked at his son he hadn't seen for many years with a sullen face, and said coldly: "It seems that you are used to being wild in Qicheng, and you don't know what dignity is."
Yan Jinting saw that his father was really angry, and he didn't dare to do it again. He knelt down and lowered his usually proud head, "Father, please calm down, the child knows he was wrong."
"I think you don't know where you are wrong at all." King Zhen was really disappointed with his son, "Tell me, where is your mistake?"
Yan Jinting really didn't know where he was wrong. He lowered his head and thought, but he could only think of his own attitude, so he had to admit his mistake obediently and said: "Children shouldn't lose their temper with the father. It must be wrong for the father to do this. It's up to the father and the king."
King Zhen snorted coldly, "Do you think that's what you did wrong? If you weren't my son, you would have been expelled by me long ago."
Seeing Yan Jinting's unconvinced dazed look, King Zhen also became angry for a while. He pointed at Yan Jinting and cursed: "Although you stayed in Qicheng, you were treated as a proton, but how did I tell you? Did it tell you to learn from your husband and find out the news in Qicheng? Tell me, what did you do?!"
Yan Jinting said unconvinced: "The child has done what the father said. The father can ask the master. All the homework of the child is good. And to inquire about the news, the child has set up eyeliner in Qicheng, but Qi The water in the city is too deep, so there is no obvious effect."
King Zhen said angrily: "Do you do well in your homework? What's the use of you writing such a good article? Are you going to take the exam for the number one scholar? You are inferior to ordinary people, and you don't even have the qualifications for the exam for the number one scholar! Who wants you to only learn these things?" Already?! And your eyeliner, the eyeliner you arrange like this, you can't even figure out what Qicheng is, it's a joke!"
Yan Jinting was also turned pale by his father's blow, and he felt that he had lost face and that he didn't understand him, "My child has tried his best."
King Zhen interrupted him rudely, "You call it your best?! You tell me this is called your best?! If I were like you, the military power would have been taken back long ago! I think you are full of Chu Yuchen, full of Brain is a matter of men and women!"
Seeing King Zhen mentioning Chu Yuchen's name, Yan Jinting couldn't help but feel a tizzy in his heart, "You were the one who let the child approach His Majesty back then."
Seeing his obsession, King Zhen was so angry that he stretched out his hand and slapped him with a loud slap, which stunned Yan Jinting.
"I asked you to get close to her, but you are such a big person, don't you know that there should be a limit? Does Chu Yuchen have any interest in you? Don't you feel it at all?! I let you Breaking into the interior, but you have been lingering outside the door, still complacent, I am famous in my life, how can I have such a stupid son like you?!"
Yan Jinting hadn't seen his father for eight years, and he was growing up, so he gradually forgot the coercion his father had given him. At this time, King Zhen's outbreak made him All of a sudden, I recalled my childhood, and suddenly became terrified.
King Zhen opened up his words, and naturally he would not stop like this, but counted down the places where Jinting let him down, "Chu Yuchen had just ascended the throne, I asked you if you were sure to win Chu Yuchen, You tell me, you are sure, you are so sure?! If you are not sure to take him down, you will gather talents and gather news, but you put all your heart on Chu Yuchen."
"Do you have any brains? If Chu Yuchen was really interested in you, would she behave like this?" Zhen Wang really hated iron and steel, and poked his finger on Yan Jinting's head, "I don't need to ask you, just At the palace banquet tonight, I discovered that Chu Yuchen didn't take you seriously at all. During the whole palace banquet, she didn't even glance at you, and her eyes fell on me more than yours."
"I don't want to find a way to stuff people into her harem. Do I have to rely on you? Are you still immersed in the dream of having all the beauties in your hands? You are really stupid, so stupid that there is no cure. Who is Yuchen? She is 16 years old, has not been in power for a year, and has already eradicated dissidents, regained part of the military power, and promoted her most trusted Liu Feiran to the position of prime minister."
"Do you think she is as absorbed in the affair between men and women as you are? At the palace banquet tonight, the people who came to toast me were all officials who were not popular or had no real power. Palmers like Shu Qingsi, Yang Yi, etc. Everyone who weighs power is on Chu Yuchen's side. Don't tell me that you can't see it like this. If Chu Yuchen can tie up the ministers' teams with benefits, it proves that she has this means."
"Accepted the throne at the age of ten, and took power at the age of 15. How old is she? At the age of 16, Liu Feiran was just a small water chief, and a group of elders were controlling the water in the Huaihe River, while Chu Yuchen had already The country is in charge of the world, and it is only governed in an orderly manner. The Jing country has been thriving all these years, if she has no means, can she do it like this?"
The more King Zhen said it, the more he regretted it. He regretted that he hadn't sent troops decisively at the beginning, and came back tough when Chu Yuchen first succeeded to the throne.At that time, as long as he was under the banner of assisting the government, what could a group of ministers do against him?Wouldn't it be nice to take the Son of Heaven to command the princes?
King Zhen himself did not expect that Chu Yuchen's methods were so good, and with the cooperation of Liu Feiran, he was able to gain a firm foothold so quickly.He originally thought that as a child, she must be a puppet under the control of several assistant ministers, but he didn't expect that none of those assistant ministers could really control Chu Yuchen.
No, Liu Feiran can influence Chu Yuchen.But Liu Feiran is the most loyal royalist, and Chu Yuchen's ability to sit on the throne of the emperor is inseparable from her.Everything she did was for Chu Yuchen's sake, so that the auxiliary ministers could not form an iron plate.
King Zhen regretted it very much. If he had known that things would become so difficult, he would have desperately wanted to come back.Following the promulgation of orders one after another, King Zhen, who was far away in Heitu City, also felt uneasy.
These orders are not to say that they are wrong, on the contrary, they are all actions that benefit the people. If this continues, the prosperity of the country will not be a problem at all.As long as the country is prosperous, then Chu Yuchen's throne will be more secure.Of course, this was not what King Zhen wanted to see, so he couldn't sit still, knowing that Wen Guo had sent a mission, he immediately applied to return to the imperial city to report on his duties.
In just one day, from the time he met Liu Feiran to the end of the palace banquet, King Zhen felt a shocking change.
Compared with that little official back then, as the prime minister, Liu Feiran has enough maturity and means, which can be seen from her ability to defeat Shu Qingsi to win the prime minister's position.What worried King Zhen the most was the young emperor sitting on the throne.He faintly couldn't see through the person above, her indifference, her charming smile, and her every move, it was difficult for King Zhen to see through.
King Zhen was frightened, he took the tea aside, ignored that it was cold, and took a big sip, seeing his son kneeling on the ground in fear, he finally softened his heart.
At the beginning, he had no choice but to leave him in Qicheng.Qicheng is such a complicated place, he is just a child, and there is no one to control him here, so he will inevitably be a little lazy, and this is because I am sorry for him.If he could be brought back to Black Soil City, under his own teaching, how could he become like this?
King Zhen sighed in his heart, softened his voice, and said, "Get up."
Yan Jinting didn't move. In fact, he was completely woken up by King Zhen's words. He had never thought about these things.All his heart is on Chu Yuchen, and he thinks that Chu Yuchen has some sincerity towards him, but it's because of his status, so it's hard to show it.
He faintly felt that his thoughts had made a mistake, but in Qicheng, no one would remind him that the friends he could make were not the ones who could let them know that he was close to Chu Yuchen.So he has been deceived like this all the time, and he didn't feel enlightened until King Zhen explained everything.
But this was cruel after all, Yan Jinting knew that what his father said was right and that was the truth, but he still couldn't help holding a glimmer of hope.He looked at his father with red eyes, "Father, the child is not reconciled"
King Zhen could see that his son was sad. He squatted down next to Yan Jinting, held his shoulders with his big hands, and rubbed him hard a few times. "A man, why don't you have a woman? Don't worry about these things. body."
How did Yan Jinting not know that his father was right?But he was still not reconciled, he always thought that Chu Yuchen was his own, the woman he had loved for so many years, and he always regarded it as his own. "Father Wang Haier wants to ask clearly, if she really does not have a child in her heart, then everything will be decided by the father."
King Zhen saw that his son had finally come to his senses, so he couldn't be too harsh on him, and said, "Okay, you can find a chance to ask clearly."
Yan Jinting nodded, and got up from the ground numbly.The usually mild-mannered him is like a marionette at this time, looking dull and lifeless, obviously he has been hit hard.
King Zhen got angry when he saw him like this, but he didn't want to be too harsh on him when they first met, so he let him go back to the room.
Yan Jinting took his leave and went back to his room in silence.
His room was very elegantly furnished, and there was a bottle of winter plums picked up today by the window sill, which was elegant and exquisite, just like the elegance he showed to outsiders.This is the image that Chu Yuchen likes, she said that she likes people like Liu Feiran.
What is Liu Feiran like?Isn't he just a refined, indifferent person who is not surprised by favor or shame?
So Yan Jinting did this.
But in the end, it seems that Chu Yuchen doesn't like himself.All these years, are you all self-indulgent?Pretentious?
In the middle of the winter night, there was no starlight, Yan Jinting was leaning against the window, only the dim candlelight flickering behind him, his facial features were completely shrouded in darkness.He gently pinched a plum blossom with his fingers, and slowly turned it between his two fingers.
Finally, crush it with one hand, leaving some juice between the fingertips.
