At night, inside the Dali Temple Prison:

"Father!" The man took off his cloak, revealing a young and handsome face hidden inside, if it weren't for the tears on his face, his facial features were wrinkled together because of sadness, and he was also a standard handsome young man, and this appearance was often Zhilu.

Chang Zhi Lu pulled the woman to kneel on the ground, and tears fell out of her eyes: "Father, the child is not good, looking at you, you..."

Chang Du was a little stunned when he saw his son, who should have been thousands of miles away, and turned to the other person and said, "Fourth prince, you promised the old minister to send him away!" ”

Qi Zhen stood aside: "Lord Chang, the son is filial, I really can't bear to stop him, but don't worry, I will send him away in a while, and there will be no mistakes." ”

Chang Du opened his mouth, didn't say anything, sighed and helped the two people in front of him, stretched out his sleeve to wipe the tears on his face, "This is my father's choice, you are still young, you shouldn't die with me, what do you say you have to come back for?" ”

Chang Du saw that Chang Zhilu didn't speak, so he lowered his voice and said to the woman next to him: "Ying'er, I can't thank Jin Yuanwai in person, I hope you can thank Jin Yuanwai on my behalf." ”

Jin Ying'er owes herself: "You are righteous, your father just did what he should do, you can have a chance to serve the country, your father can't ask for it, you don't have to thank you." ”

Chang Du looked at the woman in front of him with satisfaction, his eyes were good.

Chang Zhilu took Jin Ying'er's hand and stroked her lower abdomen with his right hand: "Dad, Ying'er, she has it, your first grandson, after we think about it, we still have to come back and let you take a look and let you give a name." ”

When Chang Du heard this, he didn't know whether he was excited or emotional, his eyes were red, and his voice trembled a little: "Good, good, name, right, name." ”

Chang Du raised his head and thought for a moment, then said: "The next generation is the Yuzi generation... If it's a boy, it's called Yu Chao, and if it's a girl, it's called Yu Xi, and I just want to be in a poor family and reunite for a long time.

Father hopes that you can be reunited in the future and live a good life as a family. ”

"Yu Chao, Yu Xi..." Chang Zhi Lu and Jin Ying'er glanced at each other: "Okay, listen to my father." ”

"Alright, let's go." Chang Du saw the two who were reluctant to leave and said, "The longer you stay, the more dangerous it is, let's go." ”

"Father, I," Chang Zhilu was about to say something, but his right hand was tightly clenched,

Jin Ying'er spoke: "Listen to Dad, let's go." ”

Qi Zhen turned his head and spoke in the dark: "Be sure to escort Chang Gongzi and Jin Maiden to Ganlin safely." ”

"Yes." Seventeen walked from the darkness to Chang Zhilu's side: "Chang Gongzi, please." ”

Chang Zhilu looked at Chang Du, then at Seventeen, gritted his teeth, put on his hat again to cover his face, pulled up Jin Ying'er, and walked out of the cell.

After seeing them leave, Qi Zhen spoke: "Master Chang, thank you." ”

Chang Du glanced at him and said with a smile: "This is really torturing the old minister, the old minister is not helping you, he is helping the country and the country." ”

Qi Zhen was silent, at this time, he really didn't know what to say.

On the other hand, Chang Du became happier the more he laughed, and his laughing hands hit the ground: "He Xu Tao also has today, hahaha, it's worth it." ”

"This first step has begun, and there are many more opportunities for him to break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach in the future."

Chang Du stood up on his knees: "This time he was caught off guard, and it will be even more difficult next time he raises his vigilance." ”

Qi Zhen spoke: "This time, the official department is still a fold, and after a few days, the imperial examination will be reopened, and fresh blood will pour into the imperial court, and in a few years, the low-level officials of the Han scholars will penetrate the bottom, the level is not high, but there are a lot of them, whether they can drag down Chang Du, this group of Han scholars is the most important." ”

Chang Du nodded: "Shen Guofeng, that old boy, is not only smart and tolerant, but also cherishes talents and loves talents, this time he became the secretary of the ministry, and the old minister believes that this court will definitely be different from the past in the near future." ”

"Hmm."

Chang Du stood with his hands in his hands and fixed his eyes on Qi Zhen, "Ten years ago, the most accomplished second prince died tragically, and the eight princes were killed and demoted one after another, leaving the emperor alone, you and the nine princes, without a mother's family and power, trying to survive in the cracks."

Every time I saw Xu Tao and other ministers murdering the people in embarrassment, but the emperor turned a blind eye, the old ministers felt that the country was going to die.

As a result, I didn't expect that in the end, the people of the Emperor's Family, who are different from mortals, are the most noble dragon species left. ”

Qi Zhen pursed his lips and didn't speak.

Chang Du put his hand on Qi Zhen's shoulder: "Four princes, the old minister can't see that Xu Tao has been defeated, and the four seas are really leveled, so I hope you can..."

Qi Zhen held Chang Du's hand and looked into the eyes of the person in front of him: "Lord Chang, you are the first light cast through the clouds, and you will never be the last, I promise you that I will do my best to re-stabilize the Qi family and give you and the people an explanation." ”

"The old minister naturally believes in you, but for the Nine Princes, it's a little..."Chang Du looked embarrassed: "He has a swaggering and impulsive temperament, bold and willful, and the old minister is afraid that he can't fight Xu Tao." ”

Qi Zhen frowned, and said slowly: "Why don't you worry about me, in the final analysis, no one around the emperor will give him so much military power."

The emperor is a smart man, if he hadn't been suppressed by Xu Tao everywhere and let him run the country, he might have become a generation of Ming Jun. ”

"Alas, in the final analysis, the problem of Xu Tao in power is still in the first emperor." Chang Du paused: "In the future, if you want to really defeat Xu Tao, it's too difficult." ”

Qi Zhen smiled: "It's hard and there's no way, who let me have someone I want to protect." ”

Chang Du looked at the person in front of him and sighed, such a gentle and heartfelt person as the Fourth Prince, would only show this resolute and serious expression when it comes to matters related to the Ninth Prince.

The emperor's recall of the Nine Princes is really the right move, the real scary thing in this Shangjing is not force, but resourcefulness, if Xu Tao really has a day when he is knocked down, then the person who abolished him will definitely be the gentle and gentle Fourth Prince in front of him.

"It is said that there is no family affection in the emperor's family, and the fourth prince is really interested in the ninth prince."

Qi Zhen turned away with a murderous face, and his beautiful peach blossom eyes smiled: "Of course, he is my younger brother." ”

"Despite this, I still hope that the fourth prince can restrain the ninth prince more, and this last-minute injury will be in the end,"

"I'll protect him." In the dark, a man interrupted Chang Du from speaking.

Chang Du turned his head and saw a pair of eyes glowing with cold light, and this person's thin lips opened lightly: "Uncle, I will stay by his side to protect him in the future." "It's Su Jingchen.

"Okay." Chang Du nodded and looked at Su Jingchen: "Shi'an, thank you for coming back to help me this time." ”

"Uncle, Shi'an must take this step if you have something to ask for, you don't have to thank you, I'm just helping myself." Su Jingchen took a step forward, lifted his robe and knelt on the ground: "The life-saving grace Shi'an can no longer be held, these three kneeling rights should be grateful." ”

As soon as the words fell, Su Jingchen put down his meditation and kowtowed Chang Du three times.

Chang Du hurriedly helped Su Jingchen up and looked at the two people in front of him: "You young generation, you will definitely become the pillar of Dalong in the future, I believe in you." It's not early, let's go, let's go~"

Su Jingchen and Qi Zhen glanced at each other, bent down and bowed to Chang Du, turned around and walked out of Dali Temple.

Outside the temple, it was dark and quiet, and the two walked together on the left and right, gradually disappearing into the darkness.

I don't know when, a breeze blew, the sky that was originally covered by dark clouds was suddenly torn open, the moonlight through the crack sprinkled on the ground one by one, like snow like white waves, faint light chasing darkness, light and shadow blended, and finally chased through the grass and high forest, scattering brilliance everywhere.
