Yue Qianqiu finally understood at this moment what Li Chongming meant by telling him before he came out that he wanted to cut off the last bit of hope. The removal of the name of the genealogy is not just talk, for the royal family in this year, it can be regarded as the most severe punishment, which is much more serious than taking the title and even giving him death. After all, as long as the family is not beheaded, the children and grandchildren will still have the right to inherit the throne after the father dies!

As for the precedent – see the famous Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty Liu Xun. My grandfather committed suicide, my father was convicted and executed, and I even grew up in prison, what was the result? As long as someone wants to help him, he will continue to succeed Emperor Zhao and reign in the world!

But once he is out of the sect, he is reduced to a commoner, and his children and grandchildren no longer enjoy the status of the royal family. What's more, this is not the emperor's punishment, but Li Chongming's own request, not to mention that not only himself, his direct request is to remove his father's Jiawang family from the genealogy, that is, to remove his father's brothers and future sons and nephews, etc.!

In the stunned and unexpected gaze of many civil and military officials, the emperor's eyes became much deeper, and then, he glanced at the little fat man, and sure enough, he saw the little fat man staring at the titular nephew with an incredulous face.

The little fat man has always hated Li Chongming's flattery, hated that the other party was often praised by the teacher, hated the eight-sided exquisite long-sleeved good dance when the other party dealt with people, and even wished that this guy would die quickly more than once. But now that this sworn enemy has been defeated, and even asked in person to remove the entire genealogy of King Jia's lineage, he feels a little empty in his heart.

It was not a relief, nor was it a relief, but an inexplicable and mixed emotion.

In the silence, a calm voice finally came: "Your Majesty, there were people who bewitched King Jia to run amok and commit lawlessness, and then there were traitors like the father and son of the Xu family. If the emperor has mercy on his father and son, he would not have given him the title of a civil lord and another place to live in Jinling. ”

Yu Jianzhong, the third phase who spoke, saw that a pair of eyes were cast towards him, so he said unhurriedly: "Since the prince of King Jia was once famous for his studiousness and progress, in addition to being a member of the clan, he can also be an official, not a virtuous king, but in the future, he may be able to be a famous eunuch and benefit one party, which may not be a good thing." ”

It is worthy of the Jiangling Yu family, and it can really be said!

Yue Qianqiu had to convince Master Yu's mouth, but when he saw that the little fat man's eyes lit up, he immediately seemed to evaluate this possibility thoughtfully, and the emperor bowed slightly, as if he was quite appreciative of such a suggestion, he realized that as long as Li Chongming could not really rebel in such a sinister situation this morning, and survived, he would have this suggestion.

In other words, it's not that the Xu family's father and son are stupid, but that the emperor's routine is deep! Without these two traitors, maybe there will be other traitors as well, anyway, the threat that should be eliminated must be eradicated, whether it is physically eliminated or mentally completely eliminated from a certain thought, in general, it is the same!

As for Li Chongming, as long as people are smarter, lucky, and don't take a wrong step at a critical moment, then let alone save their lives, even if he doesn't ask Xiaojin to make a move, maybe someone else will come to the rescue, at least he can save himself and even his family for the rest of his life at a critical moment. As for power...... How powerful are those vassal kings?

Thinking of this, the corners of Yue Qianqiu's mouth curled slightly, and then he stepped forward and bent down and said, "Your Majesty, since the prince of King Jia has already figured it out, then I, an outsider, don't need to persuade me anymore." He also asked the emperor to have mercy on him and agree to his request. Well, with his qualifications, he may be able to get a champion in the future, and it will be a good story at that time. ”

Other civil and military officials didn't expect that it was no one else who followed Yu Jianzhong, the dignified prime minister, but Yue Qianqiu, and those who regretted not following in time hurriedly came out to second. Soon, the voices of approval came one after another, and everyone did not forget to praise Li Chongming's pure heart at the same time, and at the same time depict a bright future for him.

In short, it is the prince of King Jia, please be reasonable, for the sake of his future and future plan, please ask the emperor to agree!

Although he was the second to follow Yu Jianzhong to second, but finding that Li Chongming was already a little shaky, Yue Qianqiu stepped forward and dragged the person up without saying anything, and then said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the prince of King Jia was tossed by these traitors today, not to mention exhaustion, I am afraid that the injury is more serious than my situation, why don't you take him back first?" ”

The emperor glanced at Yue Qianqiu deeply, then nodded and said, "Okay, you take him down to rest first." ”

Yue Qianqiu dragged Li Chongming, who was stumbling and unsteady walking, out of the house with one foot and one foot lower, until he left the heavily guarded courtyard, he let go of his hand, and then nodded slightly at the few Wuyingguan teenagers who were on guard at the gate of the courtyard, and saw that the people did not squint one by one, as if they only did not exist, and then he said: "I let go, you are careful yourself, don't fall!" ”

Sensing that the hand that was holding his right arm before suddenly let go, Li Chongming hurriedly supported his knees with both hands, barely stood still, and then he heard Yue Qianqiu's voice: "I knew that you would definitely be able to stand firm." How could a person who had just gone through the test of life and death, but was able to come up with the idea of returning his clan in such a quick time, be so weak? ”

Li Chongming breathed heavily, while rubbing his knees with his hands to relieve the stinging pain he had just suffered from kneeling on the ground for too long. It wasn't until he finally relieved himself that he reached out against the wall and slowly straightened up.

Seeing that Yue Qianqiu was already walking forward leisurely, he slowly followed with his hand against the wall, and when he finally caught up with the other party, he stared at the young man in front of him whose words and deeds seemed to be no different from the old days, and asked with a little expectation and malice: "Aren't you afraid?" ”

"Afraid of what?" Yue Qianqiu raised his head slightly, and sneered nonchalantly, "I'm afraid that there is something wrong with my life experience, and then I lose my life in a daze?" No kidding, there are one version of my life story after another, don't talk about me, I'm afraid no one can be sure which one is true unless the initiator crawls out of the grave! Since I used to live well, what are you worried about? ”

"Even if you will die in the future, or even tomorrow, then live today and live well, isn't it much better than worrying about the sky? Have you read the two lines of poetry in Li Taibai's collection published by Hemingxuan? Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon. I've never been alone, I have relatives and friends, as long as I have a happy time with everyone now, just live happily, why do I want to do so much in the future? ”

Li Chongming couldn't imagine that there were heartless people like Yue Qianqiu in the world. But Yue Qianqiu's relaxed and leisurely appearance didn't look like a fake, plus this morning he could be said to be thanks to the other party's repeated turnarounds, and in the end, Yue Qianqiu instructed the little palace maid to save him, and the ridicule on his lips was still not said in the end.

When Yue Qianqiu turned around and walked straight forward, he hesitated for a moment, in the end he still dragged his heavy steps to follow, when there were no longer three steps and one post around, five steps and one sentry, he suddenly asked: "Why did the prince look like he couldn't support the wall in the past, and you never thought of befriending others...... Like me? ”

Yue Qianqiu didn't expect Li Chongming to ask such a question bluntly, he was stunned for a moment, then stopped and thought about it seriously, and finally grinned: "The little fat man used to look like he used to look in front of the emperor, and he looked the same behind his back. Grumpy, fickle, arrogant...... Well, there are a lot of problems, but who wants the emperor to entrust people to me in person? ”

"The emperor treats me well, I naturally won't change my course just because you want to befriend me, or show favor to me, let alone ......" Yue Qianqiu paused, and then said meaningfully, "What's more, because you are a bit similar to me, so the same sex repels me, I don't like you as a person." ”

Li Chongming continued to walk forward when he saw Yue Qianqiu finish speaking, and he was completely confused by this answer, so he couldn't help but take a few quick steps to chase after him, and stopped directly in front of Yue Qianqiu: "I look like you?" How did I never know? ”

Looking at Li Chongming with a smile, Yue Qianqiu smiled and said, "That's because I pretend to be better than you." You are just pretending to be a well-behaved and sensible, studious and motivated, and everyone says that you are a rookie of the royal family, while I am pretending to be the prime minister who does whatever he wants, does his own thing, and no one cares about him. They're all good at pretending, and it's weird that I can get along well with you! ”

What the hell is this reason!

Even though Li Chongming no longer has any extravagant hopes, he still asked angrily: "Doesn't the prince pretend?" ”

"Of course he's good at pretending!" Yue Qianqiu clasped her hands and narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she was a little distracted, "Do you know what it was like when I first saw him?" Well, the master took me to Gyeongbok Hall to see Ren Guiyi Ren Niangniang, and then when he was still the king of England, he came in with a whip to find fault, and he had nothing to do to play with the little palace maid, and the master was angry and directly mentioned people to the roof of Gyeongbok Palace. ”

"Do you know how Master cleaned him up? Just grab it, let it go, and grab him every time when someone is about to fall off the roof. After a few times, what do you think Ying Xiaopang will be scared of? Of course, when things came to this, the emperor inevitably invited his parents, but the eldest princess of Dongyang protected the short, and my grandfather protected the short, and in the end, each played fifty boards, and the master and I were taken back. ”

"And what about Ying Xiaopang? He actually came to plead guilty within two days, crying and kneeling, in short, to see the master to apologize to him. The only son of the dignified emperor, if he can do this, doesn't he know what to pretend? ”

Li Chongming only felt that his throat was tight, and even his voice trembled slightly: "Then why are you ......?"

"It's very simple, he knows that I can see through him and pretend, so he never pretends to be much in front of me, because he knows that he can't fool me. If you love to scold your mother, you can scold your mother, and you can say whatever you like, without restraint. He felt very comfortable in this way, and I didn't feel a burden. Because I didn't have to guess his mind at all, he showed me all in my face and said it out of my mouth. ”

Yue Qianqiu glanced at Li Chongming with a smile as he spoke: "But you are different, the seven emotions and six desires are all hidden in your heart, and what you show is always the well-behaved and polite prince of Jiawang." You are tired, in fact, others are also tired. Your teachers say that they appreciate students like you, but don't turn around and say to the people around you that your mind is too heavy and unpredictable, so you should stay away. ”

"Of course, when others gather together to compare you and Ying Xiaopang, they will definitely be more biased towards you. First, it is because Ying Xiaopang was raised crooked by Feng Guifei at the beginning, and he is notorious, and his kind of temperament can no longer hide from smart people. Second, because you're more in line with those old foxes. The Ming monarchs and sages that these people admire, they are all carved out of a mold. They don't care what kind of person you are, as long as you match their perception on the bright side. ”

"So you think those old foxes are so easy to curry favor with? It's not profitable, you can see just now that they hurriedly echoed your proposal. Although Yue Qianqiu himself was the second to second, but when he laughed at those old adults at this time, he was not ashamed at all.

It was the first time for Li Chongming to say so many things to Yue Qianqiu, and after talking so deeply, he vaguely felt that he understood the reason why Yue Qianqiu had always been unruly, except for a few people such as the emperor, most of the others did not pay attention to it - since it is impossible to please everyone, it is better to grasp the people around him, and everyone else will be thrown aside!

After sending Li Chongming back to the small courtyard where he lived, he saw that a few strange guards were already staying there, and he stopped at the door of the main house, thinking that it was the result of careful selection.

"You don't have to worry about me saving you in the future, after all, it was the little golden girl who made the shot, and I was delaying a little time at most. What's more, the father and son of the Xu family thought they were smart, but they didn't know that others had already been wary. In short, the past has passed, and since you can even say that kind of thing in front of the emperor just now, I believe that you will be able to live well in the future! ”

Seeing Yue Qianqiu say this, he turned around, raised his hand slightly and strode away, Li Chongming didn't know where the impulse came from, and suddenly shouted: "Yue Qianqiu, can't we be friends?" ”

Yue Qianqiu paused slightly, then walked forward again, and replied without looking back: "True friends, regardless of the other party's family background, age, or personality, can naturally cherish each other and live and die together." On this level, not everyone of the little guys in the Wuying Pavilion is my friend. As for Ying Xiaopang......"

He paused slightly, not hesitating, just thinking about what more accurate words he should use. After a long while, he said lightly: "He and I can only be regarded as good partners, that's all." ”

"So, Prince Jia, let's treat each other as familiar strangers, that's enough!"

Seeing Yue Qianqiu raise his hand again, the human beard disappeared from his sight briskly, Li Chongming only felt that in his clenched fist, the nails pierced his palms painfully. Even when he had just asked for the expulsion of the clan, he didn't feel that he was inferior to the little fat man who was too lucky, but now when he was rejected by Yue Qianqiu, he knew that he couldn't compare after all.

How could Li Yiming get what he couldn't ask for so effortlessly? Whether it is the partiality of the monarch's father, or the support of his partners and subordinates, he simply does not have it! It's a pity that he will never have a chance!
