Chapter 529: The Bet

Previous Chapter

After the two entered the room and sat down, the princess brought Chen Zhongwen's children to meet the ceremony.

Although Chen Zhongwen was a little impatient, the reasonable, dignified and generous woman still said some polite words to Xiao Jing, and then took her two children to play a trick with Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing knew the mother and son - when the first emperor was still there, he had been a guest in the palace, and Chen Zhongwen, who was interested in being close to him, also introduced his family, and he also gave the children a meeting gift.

Now, looking at the restrained, raw and somewhat fearful appearance of the two children, Xiao Jing's heart is a little uncomfortable.

Although he was not calm in his heart, he was still very calm on the surface, not only holding the child's little hand and asking this and that, but also chatting with the princess about family life.

It wasn't until the three of them retired and left that he slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes fell on Chen Zhongwen.

"It's like a world away." Chen Zhongwen picked up the teapot and poured himself full of tea, and laughed at himself: "A few years ago, you and I used to guide the country while drinking tea, but now it's good...... I'm a prisoner, you're a guest, and I don't know what else to talk about. ”

The teacup in front of Xiao Jing was also empty. Seeing that Chen Zhongwen didn't mean to add tea to himself, he simply picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea: "Although things are people, you and I are still young people; If you still want to have a long talk, I will still accompany you to the end. How, that's interesting, right? ”

Chen Zhongwen sneered: "Who wants to talk to you at night, how can I have such idle time?" You uninvited guest have drunk tea, let's hurry up, Lao Tzu's wife and children now have a hot kang life, and people like you will have nothing to do to disturb people's quietness. ”

As he spoke, he picked up the teacup and glanced at Xiao Jing with an unkind look.

This is that no one shouts to send off guests, otherwise the play will be in place.

Xiao Jing was unmoved, and said with a smile: "Lao Tzu is on the emperor's errand today, and he is not a random guest, how can you drive away if you want to chase away the guest?" If it really doesn't work, we'll spend it until tomorrow morning to see if you can hold back a few words of sincerity. ”

Chen Zhongwen looked cynical, but the moment he heard the word "Huangcha", he stood up from his chair, and his expression suddenly became a little gloomy and hideous.

"The Emperor?" He sneered and approached Xiao Jing, his eyes as sharp as knives: "Dare to ask which emperor sent the errand?" Emperor Bintian for many years, Chen really didn't know that my Darui now has a new master, and please make it clear. ”

Xiao Jing arched his hand in the direction of the palace and said: "Back to the prince's words, what is reigning now is the blood of the former prince, and the current era name is called 'Xinde', which is taken from the section 'Big Animal' in the Book of Changes...... Speaking of which, you and today's saints are also old acquaintances, so you don't have to ask knowingly, right? ”

Chen Zhongwen said coldly: "Heh, what else do I say, it turns out that you are talking about the puppet emperor...... Listen, as long as I, Chen, am alive for a day, you don't want me to admit that wild seed that ran out of nowhere is my emperor Da Rui!

I am the blood of the first emperor, the prince of Da Rui, and only I am qualified to inherit the unification! The puppet emperor killed the king and seized the throne, causing anger and resentment, and he will be punished by heaven in the future, and I will sit here and wait to watch him be hit by five thunders. Do you want me to come out and do the work, so that he can earn the reputation of 'Renjun' and be praised? I'd rather die! ”

Chen Zhongwen impassionedly reprimanded Shao Ning there, but Xiao Jing just listened to the old god and didn't say a word.

Even if he kept spitting fragrant and all kinds of disrespectful words jumping around when he was intense, Xiao Jing didn't mean to reprimand or stop it, and he even shook his head when he was fascinated by it-ordinary people only behave like this when they listened to a play or listened to a story?

After a meal, Chen Zhongwen, who was panting, finally stopped. Xiao Jing opened his eyes and said, "Finished scolding?" ”

Chen Zhongwen snorted vigorously. Although he was very angry, he was also very curious about why Xiao Jing, as Shao Ning's cronie, did not defend his emperor.

Immediately, Xiao Jing personally uncovered the mystery.

"I'll tell you the truth, I made a bet with that guy before I came." He glanced at Chen Zhongwen, shook his head and said, "It's all your fault, let me lose the bet." Tell me, how are you going to compensate me? ”

The second monk Chen Zhongwen was puzzled, and Xiao Jing said again: "Your Majesty said that your kid can't use more than five scolding titles, I don't think you can do it, why do you have to know seven or eight...... Then we made a bet that the bet would be half a part of the next sea trade. Now it seems that he knows you better. ”

Chen Zhongwen was speechless when he heard this explanation, and even wanted to scold his mother:

Listen, is this human talk? Who are these monarchs and ministers, they know that I want to scold people to vent their anger, but they even bet on this?

I thought that after scolding for so long a day, people would at least be a little ashamed, but I didn't expect that I would be the object of other people's entertainment from the beginning!

While scolding, Xiao Jing was still counting!

Chen Zhongwen felt like a hammer smashed on the cotton pile, and he couldn't help but feel a little deflated.

It turns out that although he often wears white dragonfish, after all, he is a noble man and has fewer opportunities to contact the bottom, so in terms of scolding, it is still a big step worse than Shao Ning's rich son who makes chickens and dogs jump in the folk every day.

He didn't doubt it at all: if the two of them scolded each other face to face, maybe Shao Ning's scolding title would not be the same at this time.

It's just, what's going on!

Xiao Jing observed him, and inadvertently picked the corners of his mouth.

Although this kid is still full of anger, he has a somewhat dejected appearance, and it seems that he has vented his emotions well.

That's it. He is still young, and if he is really told to live ten or twenty years with the events of that day, then no one will be able to open this knot in the future.

His cynicism, his indignation...... Everything comes from this matter, as long as someone guides him, even if he has ambitions and ideals in his chest, he will never be able to forgive Shao Ning, and he will never be trapped in this small square inch world for a lifetime.

"I've been scolded, so I'll get down to business first." Xiao Jing put away his smile and said with a straight face: "I will convey Your Majesty's words to you first, please decide for yourself: you can get out of the confinement and move freely, and your family can also return to the palace, but there are two conditions:

First, there is no position for you in the DPRK and China, so you can only return to the society;

Two. If you want to go out of Beijing, you need to ask for a request, and you can do everything at your own time in the capital - of course, there will be people watching your whereabouts, which is also the meaning of the question, I hope you don't care.

In addition, His Majesty is considering the establishment of a new type of school, and the first batch may only enroll a few dozen children. If you want to come out, he will allow your two children to go in and study. ”

After that, Xiao Jing took a sip of tea and asked leisurely:

"How?"
