Chu Tianyi looked at her eyes and said seriously: "I went to the palace today, and that person said to let me leave you, and the meaning between the words is that the Jiang family's merit is high." ”

Jiang Lige still didn't believe it: "Impossible, the emperor and my father have a love of life and death, how can they deal with the Jiang family?" ”

Chu Tianyi smiled bitterly: "Lige, this is the case, you have to believe it." ”

Jiang Lige's face turned pale, and his heart was extremely confused.

Since ancient times, few powerful ministers have a good end, she already knew this, but she never expected it to come so quickly, thinking that the Jiang family had at least a few decades of grandeur, but she didn't expect that it would make the emperor jealous for more than ten years, and the other party is the emperor, the monarch wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, she died without regrets, but Zijin and Qingchen are still so young, Ah Yi has just been with her, how can she be willing.

Chu Tianyi hugged her lightly and said softly: "Leave the song, let's do it." ”

Jiang Lige subconsciously said: "My Jiang family has always been loyal, how can I rebel?" Isn't this asking the world to poke the backbone? ”

Chu Tianyi saw that she still cared about the name of the so-called loyal minister when she reached this situation, and said with some hatred: "He has done this to you, why are you still loyal to him!" ”

Jiang Lige smiled bitterly: "Ah Yi, you don't understand ......"

Chu Tianyi said angrily: "What don't you understand!" People don't do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, everyone has a knife on their necks, and you still greet each other with a smile! ”

Jiang Lige said helplessly: "I am loyal to the rivers and mountains of Southern Chu, and I don't want to see the hard-won peace of the people of Southern Chu ruined by the Jiang family." ”

Chu Tianyi said weakly: "Since you are loyal to the rivers and mountains of Southern Chu, let's just change the emperor, where will it affect the people of Southern Chu, and besides, the people don't care who sits in that position at all." ”

Jiang Lige was still a little shocked in her heart, she knew that Chu Tianyi wanted that throne, and when he said it directly, she still felt a little scared, Cheng, of course, is the king, the Jiang family can maintain the prosperity for another hundred years, but it can be defeated, Ah Yi will die, the Jiang family will be destroyed, and even die earlier and more completely than the emperor.

Jiang Lige thought for a while, and said seriously: "Let's wait and see what happens, after all, the emperor has not brought this matter to the surface, and besides, it is an eternal common sense that the emperor is jealous, and we will be fine if we don't let the emperor catch the pigtail." ”

Chu Tianyi said sadly: "Lige, in your eyes, am I not as important as your so-called loyal minister?" ”

Jiang Lige sighed and said: "Ah Yi, you don't understand, the older you get, the more you feel that you have a heavy responsibility, and sometimes it makes me breathless, but I am Jiang Lige, it doesn't matter if I die alone, but the Jiang family has more than 200 people, and I can't risk using them." ”

Chu Tianyi subconsciously hugged her tightly, and compromised: "If you don't fight back, you won't fight back, don't say anything about whether you will die or not, now that person already knows that I told you about this, what are you going to do?" ”

Jiang Lige sat up and said while getting dressed: "Put on your clothes, let's go and inform Daddy, so that Daddy can be mentally prepared." ”

Chu Tianyi said worriedly: "Will Daddy believe it?" What if Daddy thinks I want that position? ”

Jiang Lige said with a smile: "Don't worry, since Daddy recognizes you, he will believe you unconditionally." ”

Chu Tianyi's heart warmed slightly, and he also put on his clothes.

After a while, the two of them left the Song Courtyard and headed for the study.

Although it was getting late at this time, the Marquis of Zhenbei had always been in the study to deal with military affairs for a long time, and he was not worried about not being able to meet him.

When he arrived outside the Zhenbei Hou's study, the light was still on, and Jiang Lige's heart flashed with a trace of distress.

Her father, the Beihou of Yipin Town, the well-deserved god of war in Southern Chu, has experienced a hundred battles, has guarded the border for many years, and has gathered less with his family and left more, and now he is leisure, and he still deals with military affairs every night until very late, not to mention forgetting his life to save the emperor many times, how can the emperor be willing to do this to them?

In the confusion, Jiang Lige knocked on the door of the study.

The man's majestic voice came from inside the study: "Come in." ”

Jiang Lige and Chu Tianyi pushed the door in.

Jiang Ao saw that it was two people, and said lovingly: "But what's wrong with entering the palace today?" ”

Chu Tianyi sighed secretly in his heart, sure enough, it was the Marquis of Zhenbei, and he knew what the problem was at a glance.

Said respectfully: "Daddy, it is indeed a matter of entering the palace." Chu Tianyi didn't know what to say, saying that person was going to deal with the Jiang family?

Jiang Ao smiled: "It must be a big deal to be able to rush your little two like this." Seeing that Chu Tianyi was hesitant, Jiang Ao said calmly: "Tianyi, there is nothing wrong with saying it." ”

Chu Tianyi said respectfully: "Daddy, my father is already jealous of you in his heart. ”

The smile on Jiang Ao's face disappeared instantly, and the brush in his hand slid down to the desk, stained the military affairs fold black, and covered up: "I don't know what happened to this item, but it actually fell off." ”

He said calmly: "You don't have to worry, the emperor is just jealous and won't do anything." The trembling hands behind his back betrayed the true thoughts of his heart.

Jiang Lige said distressedly: "Daddy, is there anything Lige is willing to bear with you." ”

Jiang Ao was relieved: "Lige has grown up, and Daddy can rest assured." ”

Chu Tianyi looked at Jiang Ao deceiving himself, and couldn't bear to say any more, but he knew that this matter was not just an escape, so he said ruthlessly: "Daddy, my father is not only jealous, when I entered the palace today, my father asked my son-in-law to leave the song, and he wanted to do something to the Jiang family between his words, Daddy, the matter has come to this, why do you comfort yourself?" ”

Jiang Ao smiled bitterly: "Daddy and the emperor, the young man met recklessly, and then followed left and right, until now, during the period for the emperor's liver and brain, rushing to the front in everything, he has saved the emperor countless times, but he has never been proud of his achievements." I thought that I had some love with the emperor, even if the Jiang family was going to be destroyed, to say the least, there would be peace for decades, but I didn't expect to commit a taboo in the end. ”

looked at Jiang Lige again, and said with some reluctance: "Daddy is never afraid of death, the only thing he is afraid of is that he has dragged down the entire Jiang family, and he can no longer protect his wife and children." ”

sighed again: "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die." ”

Jiang Lige was very sad in his heart, and when he saw his father so uncomfortable, he worried: "Daddy, no matter what, the most important thing is to take care of your body." ”

Jiang Ao smiled bitterly: "Right and wrong, they have been disturbed, they have made friendships, but they can't compete with the emperor's power, what if this body is kept?" In the end, it's just that you can't keep the people you want to keep. ”

Jiang Lige was shocked, it was probably the first time she saw her father show such an expression, disappointed but helpless.

After a while, Jiang Ao looked at the two of them and asked, "If Daddy asks you to give up everything you have now and return to the countryside with Daddy, are you willing?" ”

Jiang Lige immediately said: "As long as Daddy is willing, Lige is naturally willing." ”

Jiang Ao said seriously: "Leaving the song, you don't have to think about Daddy, just talk about yourself, Daddy knows that you have a heart to serve the country." ”

Jiang Lige also said seriously: "Nothing is more important than being together as a family. ”

Jiang Ao was relieved: "Okay, good." He looked at Chu Tianyi, who was still pondering, and said, "Tianyi, what about you?" ”

Chu Tianyi smiled bitterly: "The matter has come to this point, and there is no other way." ”

Jiang Ao was extremely relieved and said: "Lige really didn't see the wrong person, Daddy knows what you want to do, while we still have a period of time to leave, let's do it." ”

Chu Tianyi said respectfully: "Thank you Daddy for your success, my son-in-law understands." ”

Jiang Ao said a little apologetically: "Speaking of which, it's my Jiang family that has dragged you down, if you don't marry Lige, with your identity as a prince, even if there are some twists and turns in winning that position, it is still possible." Said seriously: "Tianyi, if it is ......"

Chu Tianyi knew what Zhenbei Hou wanted to say, but before he finished speaking, Chu Tianyi said anxiously: "Daddy, the son-in-law will not leave Lige no matter what, it is the greatest luck for the son-in-law to be able to marry Lige, how can it be said that it is a drag?" ”

Jiang Ao choked up a little and said, "Good boy." ”

Jiang Lige inexplicably felt a little sweet in his heart, but he was quickly dispersed by the unoptimistic situation in front of him.

Jiang Ao saw that the two of them didn't have any other ideas, so he said: "Originally, Daddy had already decided to retire to the countryside, just thinking that Daddy was still young and could do more for Nanchu, but now it seems that Daddy has to leave early." He said apologetically: "It's just that I wronged you, and I had to give up my dream of showing my ambitions at a young age." ”

Jiang Lige breathed a sigh of relief and said briskly: "It just so happens that Lige can go to the rivers and lakes with Ah Yi." ”

Chu Tianyi looked at her with softness in his eyes, and said, "As long as you like Lige, we can do it again." ”

Seeing that the little couple was so affectionate, Jiang Ao was relieved, but at the same time, he just wanted to go back and hug his wife immediately, the dog food of the little couple was too annoying.

Jiang Ao smiled: "Since it has been decided, tomorrow Daddy will go to the emperor to ask for his resignation." ”

The matter was decided like this, Jiang Lige admired Jiang Ao even more in his heart, anything that came to Daddy's place, it was not a matter!

After the two left, Jiang Ao sat down in the chair as if he had been drained of strength, and his heart was extremely bitter.

muttered: "Brother Chu, we have finally come to this point, back then you said that you would not have an estrangement with your little brother no matter what, but now, only the little brother remembers?" Even if you want to get rid of the little brother, the little brother still regards you as a brother, I really miss it, in those years, you and I cooperated tacitly, invincible on the battlefield, invincible in the officialdom, and my favorite is still under the moonlit night, you and I are drunk. ”

In the imperial study, Chu Yutian was already drunk, and he remembered in a trance the days when he fought with Jiang Ao in the north and south, outwitted other princes, and turned the court upside down.

The next day, after the morning court, Jiang Ao went to the imperial study.

Looking at Emperor Jianwen, who was a little old, he couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, and suddenly sighed that he was really old, and those wanton and free days seemed to be far away.

Emperor Jianwen saw that Chu Tianyi had just left the palace yesterday, and Jiang Ao went to the imperial study today, and he was angry in his heart, and secretly scolded Chu Tianyi for not being angry, and he was willing to be used by the Jiang family.
