When he arrived at the imperial study, Emperor Jianwen was already sitting on the chair behind the dragon case and waiting, and when he saw the group coming in, he quickly got up and walked to the dragon case, which was very enthusiastic.

Chu Tianyi, Jiang Lige and the crown prince saluted: "The son (the last general) will see his father (emperor). ”

Emperor Jianwen's look of joy was seen on his face, and he said lovingly: "Yi'er, please get up quickly, it's been a hard journey." As he spoke, he personally helped Chu Tianyi up.

Chu Tianyi got up and said lightly: "This is what a son should do, it's not hard." ”

Emperor Jianwen said lovingly: "You, you are always so humble. ”

Chu Tianyi smiled lightly and did not deny it.

Emperor Jianwen seemed to have just seen Jiang Lige and the prince, and said kindly: "The prince and Lige should also get up." ”

The two said respectfully: "Erchen (the last general) Xie Father Emperor (Emperor)." ”

Emperor Jianwen looked at Jiang Lige and said, "Lige, you have worked hard to escort Yi'er along the way, I want to remember your work." ”

Jiang Lige said respectfully: "Thank you for your love, Lige should protect His Royal Highness King Yi, it is not hard." ”

Emperor Jianwen continued: "You're tired all the way, so go back and rest first." ”

Jiang Lige said respectfully: "The last general will retire." "I was very puzzled in my heart, according to the emperor's meaning, I was very unhappy, why is this? It's really unpredictable.

No matter what you think in your heart, you still leave obediently.

Seeing Jiang Lige leaving, Chu Tianyi said lightly: "Erchen also feels very tired, so he retired first." With that, he turned and left.

Emperor Jianwen said helplessly: "Yi'er, you stay first, I want to know about the disaster relief matter earlier, and I can have a number." ”

Chu Tianyi was helpless, so he only got: "Yes, father." ”

The prince said with interest: "Father, since you have something to say to the third brother, the son will retire first." ”

Emperor Jianwen waved his hand and said, "Go ahead." ”

The prince saluted and left: "The son of the minister retires." ”

When the prince's back disappeared, Emperor Jianwen looked at Chu Tianyi and said lovingly: "Yi'er, your father and emperor know what you are doing in Sanzhou, and you have done a good job." ”

Chu Tianyi said lightly: "Father Xie praises." But there was a faint ridicule in his heart, once even if he had no books to read, he also wanted to learn to be rich and rich, in order to one day be able to get the praise of the person in front of him who claimed to be his father, but it was a pity that this person has always been disdainful of him, time has passed, hearing this praise that he originally couldn't ask for, he actually felt calm in his heart, and even felt that this person was too false.

Emperor Jianwen sighed and said, "After so long, you still don't want to forgive me, although it is all my fault, but I am already trying my best to make up for it." ”

Chu Tianyi said without being salty or indifferent: "Erchen was born with such a personality, it is my father who thinks too much. ”

Emperor Jianwen said helplessly: "That's it, you should talk about Sanzhou." ”

Chu Tianyi picked up important things and talked about them roughly.

After that, Emperor Jianwen's eyes were full of praise, and he was quite relieved: "Yi'er, I really didn't see the wrong person, and the disaster relief was done so well." ”

Chu Tianyi said lightly: "If it's a compliment, you don't have to say it anymore, there are still a few suggestions for disaster relief, which will be listed one by one later, and then handed over the excerpt." ”

Emperor Jianwen laughed heartily and said happily: "It seems that Yi'er has gained a lot from going here, what do you think, just say that my father believes that what you say will definitely be of great benefit to my Nanchu." ”

Chu Tianyi said lightly: "Father Xie." ”

Emperor Jianwen wrinkled his eyebrows again and said: "Oh, about your fourth emperor brother, he has gone too far, I have already punished him for grounding, your imperial grandmother's intercession just released a few days ago, they are all his own brothers, so don't worry about it." ”

Chu Tianyi sneered: "Naturally, I don't care, it's just a murderous revenge." ”

Emperor Jianwen sighed and said: "It was I who made you angry, but you are like the palms of your father's hands, they are all meat, Yi'er understands your father." ”

Chu Tianyi said lightly: "Naturally, I understand, after all, my mother also forgave you back then." ”

Emperor Jianwen felt a pain in his heart, and finally didn't say anything, and said, "I heard that you have a right-hand man named Li Jiang, who not only wants to transport grain, but also personally participates in disaster relief matters?" ”

Chu Tianyi nodded and said, "There are indeed people, and there are indeed things." ”

Emperor Jianwen was curious: "I don't know where this person is now?" ”

Chu Tianyi asked lightly: "Father, is this trying to rob people with his sons?" ”

Emperor Jianwen smiled: "How come? I was just thinking, this man has done such a great thing, should you ask for a reward for him? ”

Chu Tianyi said lightly: "No need, this person has always been used to being casual and doesn't like a restrained life." ”

Emperor Jianwen waved his hand and said, "I don't want him to be an official, I just want to give him some reward." ”

Chu Tianyi said sarcastically: "Father wants to know if the sale of the palace is his son's own idea, right?" Father and emperor rest assured, the palace is determined to be sold by the sons themselves, and the left and right sons do not live by themselves, and keep them, it is better to sell them for disaster relief and do more things for the victims. ”

Emperor Jianwen sighed in his heart, it seems that the 1.2 million taels of silver are really gone, and he said lovingly: "You care about the disaster victims, I am very happy in my heart, but the sale of the palace is very inappropriate, but fortunately, I redeemed you as soon as possible." As he spoke, he took a contract from the dragon case, handed it to Chu Tianyi, and continued: "This is the deed of your palace, you take it, and if you have difficulties in the future, you will directly tell your father that you don't want to sell the palace again." ”

Chu Tianyi took the deed and thanked him: "Thank you father for redeeming the palace for your sons." ”

Seeing that although Chu Tianyi said gratitude, his face was still indifferent, Emperor Jianwen only felt tired, he was too much of a failure as his father, and the other sons were all rushing to him, this son became his old son, he rushed forward, and said earnestly: "Yi'er, my father doesn't have much time, and in the rest of the days, my father just wants to make up for you." ”

Chu Tianyi still said lightly: "My father is in the prime of life, and there is still a lot of time. ”

Emperor Jianwen said lovingly: "If you think so in your heart, even if your father dies now, it is worth it." His eyes were full of hope and looked at Chu Tianyi.

Chu Tianyi said lightly: "If my father has nothing else to do, my son will retire first." ”

Emperor Jianwen waved his hand and said, "Go ahead." ”

Chu Tianyi said respectfully: "Erchen retired. ”

When Chu Tianyi's feet were about to step out of the imperial study, Emperor Jianwen seemed to have made up his mind and said: "Yi'er, my father plans to give you another marriage, Lian Hongyue, the daughter of the Hubu Shangshu." ”

Chu Tianyi's footsteps paused slightly, and he said lightly: "Erchen, as long as Jiang Lige is enough." After saying that, he walked straight away.

Emperor Jianwen looked at his figure leaving without hesitation, with a cold light in his eyes, and muttered: "Then don't blame your father for being ruthless, you have to break up your husband and wife." ”

Not long after Jiang Lige walked out of the imperial study, the prince chased after him.

I heard the prince shouting breathlessly.

Jiang Lige turned around and stood still, saluted, "The last general will see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

The prince walked up to her and gasped, "You don't have to be polite to leave the song. ”

Jiang Lige was puzzled: "I don't know why Brother Tianshuo called Lige?" Isn't there something the emperor has ordered? ”

The crown prince pretended to blame: "If it wasn't for my father's order, the palace wouldn't have been able to stop you?" ”

Jiang Lige sneered: "Brother Tianshuo said that he was laughing. He asked again: "What did Brother Shuo call to stop and leave the song that day?" ”

The prince smiled: "It's nothing, it's just that you have been away from Beijing for nearly three months, and I want to ask you if you're doing well." ”

Jiang Lige smiled: "Brother Tianshuo, don't worry, can I still starve myself to death?" Speaking of which, these three months can be regarded as colorful. ”

The prince smiled a little bitterly and said, "That's good." ”

Jiang Lige found that he was laughing wrong, and asked curiously: "Brother Tianshuo, what's wrong?" Laughing so ugly. ”

The prince smiled: "What can it be?" I didn't sleep well last night, though. ”

Jiang Lige nodded and said with concern: "Although national affairs are important, Brother Tianshuo is the prince of a country, so you should pay attention to your body." ”

The prince said happily: "Don't worry, this palace will definitely take good care of your body in the future." The prince then said: "You just came back, tomorrow the Japanese palace is the east, please eat." ”

Jiang Lige excused himself and said: "Brother Tianshuo invited, Lige should not have refused, but Lige didn't deal with the affairs of the military camp for nearly three months, and now I'm afraid it's piled up." "But in my heart, I am thinking that now I am different from the prince's camp, sooner or later I will face each other head-on, rather than suddenly turning my face at that time, it is better to slowly distance myself.

The prince said wistfully: "In this way, I can only make an appointment next time." ”

Jiang Lige said boldly: "The left and right are in the capital, everything is easy to say." ”

The prince said tentatively: "Lige, I don't know who Li Jiang is next to the third brother?" I heard that it is very powerful. ”

Jiang Lige's heart condensed slightly, frowned and said: "I don't know, anyway, the prince is a baby, I've only met a few times, and I don't usually have any intersections, so I don't know much about it." He smiled again: "If Brother Tianshuo wants to know about this person, you can go directly to the prince." ”

The prince was a little sad in his heart, and he still said with a gentle face: "I see, if you have the opportunity, the palace must ask the third brother carefully, don't be a person with ulterior motives." ”

Jiang Lige said with a smile: "Then Lige is here to thank Brother Tianshuo for his concern for my prince." ”

The prince said sadly: "Lige, you don't have to be so polite to me. ”

Jiang Lige said with a smile: "Where is it, His Highness let the last general and His Royal Highness's brothers want to be called, it is already a laissez-faire for the last general." ”

The prince was even more sad and said: "Lige, don't talk to this palace so politely." He also admitted: "Yes, this palace should not ask you about the third brother, but this palace is also a good heart, the third brother has never been involved in politics, and he doesn't know the danger of officialdom. ”

Jiang Lige snorted and laughed, "Brother Tianshuo, what are you doing in such a hurry?" I don't have these thoughts, I said you just think too much, that's why you can't sleep well in the middle of the night, it's natural that you care about the prince, can I stop it? ”

The prince listened to her brisk tone, and the heavy stone in his heart was also put down, and he secretly reminded himself not to be so reckless in the future, and was about to say something more when Chu Tianyi's voice came from behind him.
