Chapter 37: A Difficult Choice
When Zhao Zhen returned to Gyeongbokgung Palace, he was surprised! There is a small coffee table in the main hall, on which are placed two candles and fruit bowls and the like, could it be that there was a candlelight dinner in ancient times?
Zhao Heng took a sip of the wine glass, but Chen Lin, who was supposed to stop him, was still standing there as if he hadn't seen it, the strange scene in front of him made Zhao Zhen feel a little creepy, and all the other lanterns in the hall were extinguished. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Only two candles flickered and flickered, like the wandering eyes of ghosts!
Seeing Zhao Zhen standing at the door a little timidly, Chen Lin smiled kindly, but it looked even more terrifying under the flickering candlelight, and even Zhao Zhen, a staunch atheist, began to feel furious in his heart.
Walking into the main hall with a hard head, the carbon basin on the ground flickered with a crimson light, which made the atmosphere even more eerie.
In order not to be polite, Zhao Zhen coughed subconsciously, Zhao Heng touched his face in a little panic, but the traces of tears were still clearly seen by his son in the candlelight.
Zhao Heng said with some embarrassment: "Yi'er is here, cough cough, I haven't drunk for a long time, and I was actually choked." He coughed dryly twice: "Chen Lin, you old man is getting more and more eyeless!" ”
Facing the accusations of the official family, Chen Lin smiled hesitantly: "It's the old slave who is sluggish, and he shouldn't give the official family to drink these three white springs." ”
Zhao Heng tapped him with his finger and patted the futon beside him and said, "Yi'er came to sit with me." ”
Needless to say, Daddy was keeping vigil for Wang Dan, and from the candles dripping from the table, I knew that it was not a day or two.
Sitting cross-legged next to his father, Zhao Zhen is still not used to kneeling posture.
Zhao Heng didn't care about this kind of subsection, on the contrary, his son's casual sitting posture made him feel relaxed, so he also sat cross-legged like him: "I heard that you supported Wang Dan's coffin today?" ”
"Well, the child thinks it's better to send the old man on the last journey, and I can only show my respect for him in this way."
patted his son's thin shoulder and said, "The cycle of birth, old age, sickness and death is heavenly, don't be overly immersed in it." ”
Dad actually comforted himself, Zhao Zhen looked at Zhao Heng helplessly, and then turned his head and pointed to the thick dripping wax on the table.
"Ahem, I...... I can't sleep at night, so I ......."
It's a little embarrassing to be poked by his own son.
The atmosphere was heavy, Zhao Heng pulled Chen Lin to the ground, and the father and son plus a loyal servant drank under the two flickering candlelight.
Zhao Zhen didn't want to leave his father with a drunken appearance, but he had no choice but to be full of wine, scratching him like a little hand, and when he saw Zhao Zhen's longing gaze, Zhao Heng personally poured him a small glass with a slight smile.
This is equivalent to agreeing to him drinking.
The three of them drank while doing homework, under the influence of alcohol, the father and son began to talk nonsense, Zhao Heng recalled the past when he was young, and the only sober and rational person was Chen Lin, and his two eyes were always monitoring the wind and grass in Gyeongbokgung Palace.
"You kid is really happy, I was not as good as you back then, the person I liked was driven away by your grandfather, and forced me to go to the woman I didn't like, Wang Dan has been persuading me, if it weren't for him, I'm afraid I would have fallen out with your grandfather back then."
"Isn't my father a lover in the end?"
"A lover will eventually become a family? Good sentence, but some of the best sounds, hehe, but I like it. ”
When Zhao Heng heard his son's words, he became even more sighing, and actually began to talk endlessly about the Wang family with Liu E back then, and he was able to recall the past, but he was forcibly led astray.
Zhao Zhen obviously saw Chen Lin roll his eyes, and only he dared to make such an rude move to Zhao Heng.
learned from his father's description that he really didn't know about Liu E and Gong Mei, and always thought that the two of them were expressions, and they were also very close cousins.
When Zhao Zhen was about to further remind the cuckold father, Zhao Heng showed a sly smile and said, "Do you like the princess's playmate Wang?" ”
Suddenly, Zhao Heng grabbed the little tail and made Zhao Zhen stiffen on the futon.
Facing his son with a wide mouth, Zhao Heng smiled and said, "The queen once said that the Wang family's excess of bewitching is not good for the prince, but I don't object. ”
Chen Lin was already stunned on the side, what happened to the official family today? Suddenly became so emotional.
And Zhao Zhen was pleasantly surprised, although he did not reveal Liu E's old background, but what he gained tonight was still very large.
At least he can stay with Wang Yuyan openly, thinking about the happy life in the future, Zhao Zhen began to smirk.
But Zhao Heng's next words made him depressed for a while: "But you are still too young, the Wang family can't be with you, it's better to stay with Miao Yuan, I will choose the best grandmother from the palace to teach her." ”
Forehead?! I don't know if Wang Yuyan and Zhao Miaoyuan will explode on the spot after they know about it.
In the end, there was no final, Zhao Heng snored and lay on several cases after talking freely, so scared that Chen Lin and Zhao Zhen immediately supported Zhao Heng, good guy, Dad almost hit the table legs.
Chen Lin carefully put the official family on the bed, and secretly sighed in her heart that tonight was the happiest night for the official family, and being able to tell the prince about the events of the year showed that the official family had a very bad life in the past two years.
Only when people are aggrieved in their hearts will they be nostalgic for the spirit of the year.
Zhao Heng's body does not allow him to sit in the court for a long time, and now the daily government affairs are handled by the two governments and handed over to Liu E, unless there is a major event or the transfer of personnel can be sent to Zhao Heng's Gyeongbokgung Palace.
It is better for a civil official to have an emperor who is diligent in political affairs, after all, the world belongs to him, and the civil official, who is a wage earner, certainly wants to attract the attention of the boss.
To be honest, the civil system of the Song Dynasty has been quite perfect, even if the official family drops out of the dynasty, it will not have much impact, but the supremacy of imperial power has been branded into the hearts of scholars.
The best thing Zhao Kuangyin did was probably to end the chaos of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, end the rule of the warlords, and also annihilate the hearts of the people, "The Son of Heaven is strong and strong!" At least the vast majority of people.
When Zhao Zhen came out of Gyeongbokgung Palace, he breathed a sigh of relief, and he almost couldn't help but tell the truth, but fortunately, his father mentioned Wang Yuyan's matter and distracted him.
I really don't know if my father, who is already seriously ill, can accept the blow of the cuckold, the truth of the matter cannot be revealed to the world, it can only be used as a weapon of threat, if you say that you are too cruel to your father, it will also disgrace the imperial power.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to have something in his heart, why don't you tell the old slave?"
"Beep a husky! …… Chen Neijian, you are about to scare Gu to death! ”
The sudden hoarse voice scared Zhao Zhen into a haunt, although he was used to Chen Lin's elusiveness, but a person suddenly floated out of the forbidden place in the middle of the night, and Zhao Zhen was almost launched into the air.
Chen Lin automatically ignored the words he didn't understand: "The old slave scared you?" But you have a lot of courage! They all concealed it in front of the officials. ”
Zhao Zhen rolled his eyes helplessly and said, "Can Chen Neijian Gu ask you for a favor?" ”
"Prince, please speak!"
"Make a noise the next time you come near me!"
Damn it! Chen Lin walked on the floor of Gyeongbokgung Palace, where ants could step on it, without making a sound.
