You have to know why he was sluggish before, because he found that the person in front of him was his uncle, after the accident of his mother, his grandfather's family was also implicated, and the whole family fell into the prison to suffer, not to mention, and later the whole family was sent to the frontier.

And on the way to the frontier, the bad news of encountering bandits and killing the whole family was transmitted back.

He was young and didn't understand these things, but when he became sensible later, a trace of resentment rose in his heart.

Because he felt that his grandfather's family must have been killed by the emperor under the pretense of distribution, which was also one of the important reasons why he couldn't get close to the emperor for so many years, and even had resentment.

If it weren't for the fact that everything was just his suspicion, I'm afraid he would have broken with the emperor a long time ago.

But in just one day, not only did there be such a big event as the tunnel, but also his uncle, and now even his grandfather appeared, if it weren't for Zhuang Jingcheng who had calmed down at this time, he would even feel that he was dreaming, or driven crazy by the potential pressure.

However, when he followed his uncle's footsteps into the door and looked at the old man with a gray beard coming out of the room, his whole body froze as if struck by lightning.

It wasn't until his uncle called out his father again that he came back to his senses.

This time, Zhuang Jingcheng did not hesitate, strode directly into the door, and knelt in front of the old man: "Unfilial grandson to see grandpa." ”

"Silly boy, what stupid things to say, get up, get up." The old man's eyes were red, and he hurriedly reached out to support Zhuang Jingcheng.

Zhuang Jingcheng's grandfather is called Duan Tiancheng, who was in the position of prime minister, with a high position and a favorite concubine's daughter, which can be described as a flourishing moment in the capital.

However, later Concubine Li had an accident, and the Duan family also suffered a crime, and was later dispatched, but the news that came back was that they were attacked by bandits, and none of them survived, and all of them died.

But now that his grandfather has appeared in front of him, Zhuang Jingcheng understands that what happened at the beginning was really not so simple.

Even, Zhuang Jingcheng was thinking, would that authentic tunnel have anything to do with his grandfather's family?

Could it be that my grandfather's family couldn't bear the treatment they were treated at the beginning, faked their death and escaped, and now they are back to collect debts?

If his grandfather's family attacked his father, who should he help?

Although he and his father have not been close since their mother's accident, it is his father after all. But my grandfather's family is the closest relatives of my mother's concubine, and they were also very good to him when he was a child, how can he hurt him?

For a while, Zhuang Jingcheng only felt as if he had been thrown into the oil pot and tormented repeatedly, and he was very uncomfortable.

"Why did you bring Cheng'er here?" Pulling Zhuang Jingcheng to sit down on the side, Duan Tiancheng looked at his son Duan Junyue, but he frowned and opened his mouth.

Duan Junyue touched her nose and was helpless: "It was your old man who asked me to finish my errands and go to see Cheng'er." ”

"I asked you to see it, but I didn't ask you to bring anyone back." Duan Tiancheng glared at him fiercely.

Duan Junyue said helplessly: "This kid is too ghostly, and his martial arts are stronger than mine, if you don't reveal your identity, you won't be able to see your son when you are old." ”

Hey......

Duan Tiancheng looked at Zhuang Jingcheng in surprise, he had been gone for more than ten years, in his impression, his grandson was still the half-old child back then, when was the child so powerful?

But thinking about it in a flash, so many years have passed, if the child is not powerful, I am afraid that he will be swallowed by this cannibalistic world.

Thinking about it like this, he calmed down, but felt a little guilty: "Child, I've hurt you." ”

When he spoke, he was full of embarrassment.

Zhuang Jingcheng naturally saw the old man's distressed look, but at the moment he didn't have the heart to take care of these, he cared about other things.

"Grandpa, didn't you all ...... at the beginning How did it appear in the capital? Zhuang Jingcheng asked.

"I mean we're all dead, hehe." Duan Tiancheng did not shy away from it, and directly said what Zhuang Jingcheng had not finished.

Zhuang Jingcheng didn't squeak, which was a tacit acquiescence.

Duan Tiancheng sighed and said, "When your mother died, we were assigned, and when we met a villain, I thought we were dead, but later I learned that those people were not there to kill us, but to save us." ”

Zhuang Jingcheng was stunned for a moment, save his grandfather? In that situation, who would save their grandfather?

If it is said that General Yue Feng is in trouble, he still believes that someone intercepts and imprisons him, after all, the old general has a very high prestige in the army, and it is possible for such a thing to happen.

But grandpa, they're not.

Although my grandfather is also respected, he is a civil official, although there are many students under him, they are all in politics and are civil officials, is it difficult to expect a group of civil officials to go to the battlefield with swords to kill? Isn't that a joke?

After all, most people choose one and fine, and there are not many characters who are truly both civil and military, and even if there are, they are also the characters at the top of the pyramid.

"I don't say, I'm afraid you can't imagine who that person will be." Duan Tiancheng said, looking at Zhuang Jingcheng with complicated eyes.

Zhuang Jingcheng really didn't know, so he acquiesced.

"It's your father." Duan Tiancheng sighed and said.

"No, it can't be." Zhuang Jingcheng directly retorted angrily.

How could it be his father? His father hated his mother so much that he didn't want him as his biological son, and he hated his grandfather's family so much, how could it be that he saved his grandfather's family?

Zhuang Jingcheng couldn't accept this fact.

You must know that although he couldn't kill the emperor, he has been hating him for so many years to support it until now.

Now he suddenly told him that the enemy he had hated for so many years was actually a benefactor, how could he suddenly accept the contrast?

Duan Tiancheng also knew that he couldn't accept it for a while, so he stretched out his hand and pulled Zhuang Jingcheng to sit down, and said, "Don't be excited, child, just listen to your grandfather and tell you slowly." ”

Saying that, he sighed lightly, and then said: "Although Li'er died in the palace at the beginning, and it is somewhat related to Your Majesty, but Your Majesty really can't hate him because of this matter." ”

"When Concubine Li had an accident, let alone you, I thought it was the emperor's indulgence and deliberately wanted to deal with my Duan family. In fact, when the Duan family had an accident later, I also strengthened this idea. ”

"But later, after the family was sent by the emperor to fake their deaths, I realized that everything was wrong."

It turned out that after Concubine Li's accident, the emperor was forced by pressure from all parties to implicate the Duan family and go to prison. However, before the emperor could figure out a way to fish them out safely, Concubine Li had an accident again and was burned to death.

This made the emperor almost unbearable.

However, in the end, the emperor still arranged a method that was acceptable to everyone on the surface, and exiled the Duan family.

Secretly, he sent someone to intercept the family and save it.

The rumors in the capital were also spread by the emperor.

But in order to hide people's eyes, the Duan family could not return to Beijing, so they could only settle down in other cities, and wait for the emperor to find out before giving them ordinary.

However, this city is directly managed by the Duan family.

It's just a pity that for so many years, the emperor has not found out the truth, or rather, if it is about to find out, it will be destroyed.

And Duan Tiancheng and the others came back this time for this reason.

Zhuang Jingcheng has been listening to him silently since he was pulled down by Duan Tiancheng, not speaking, not questioning, and not refutating.

It's as if you're listening to a stranger's story.

However, his hands were tightly clenched into fists, the green tendons on his head were exposed, and the beating was fierce, telling Duan Tiancheng that he was actually not so calm.

Duan Tiancheng told the things of the year, and briefly talked about the things they had been taken care of by the emperor over the years, and finally sighed: "Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that even though Your Majesty was wrong at the beginning, it was not easy for him." Looking at you like this, I'm afraid he hasn't had a good chat with you over the years, and there are many estrangements between your father and son, but, hey......"

Duan Tiancheng said, sighing lightly again.

He knew in his heart that the estrangement could not be eliminated in a while, and all he could do was to tell the truth.

After all, the emperor is worthy of them.

In addition to the regret of losing his beloved daughter, the rest is really not to blame on the emperor.

At this moment, Zhuang Jingcheng's heart was strongly impacted.

At the beginning, when Concubine Li had not yet had an accident, he was very favored.

Among so many princes, his father's favorite is him, so he is also the most presumptuous, and no one even dares to do it, and he has also done it by riding high on the emperor's neck.

At that time, he and his father were laughing in the courtyard of the concubine, and the concubine was watching them from the side, her eyes were gentle and smiling.

But then everything changed, the mother concubine was slandered and had an affair with others, the father was furious, did not believe the mother concubine, and directly sent her to the cold palace, and then he also fell from heaven to hell.

How honorable he was at first, how sad he was then.

Not only did the prince and princess bully him, but even the eunuchs and palace maids also stepped on a few feet.

Later, when his mother died, he became a child that no one wanted, and he became the object of bullying, and he couldn't even remember how he survived those days.

In that desperate time, Zhuang Jingcheng had thoughts, looking forward to his father being able to rescue him from the sky, and still treat him as well as before.

Yet what he waited for was indifference and indifference.

After so many years of alienation and hatred, Zhuang Jingcheng no longer has the luxury of father's love.

But at this time, his grandfather told him that his father was still the same father back then, but he didn't know it.

So how can his hatred be pinned over the years? Who should bear his grievances?

Zhuang Jingcheng was chaotic at this moment, not knowing how to think or how to deal with it.

With complicated thoughts, Zhuang Jingcheng left and returned to the house.

……

In winter, the weather is always exceptionally cold, dry and lazy, so cold that people don't even want to move, just want to stay at home.

And when Zhuang Jingcheng found that there was gunpowder underground, knew the truth of previous years, and had all kinds of spiritual impacts, Shao Nanchu was nested in the medical hall, staying with Bai Qiuluo, like a fairy couple, snuggling up to each other, busy and leisurely, extremely comfortable.
