Chapter 14: On the "Sage"
“…… In this way, the two of you brothers have privately discussed who will take over the position of your imperial grandfather in the future, and now they have come over to inform your father? ”
Several plantains were planted outside the study of the East Palace, and the drizzle hit them, rustling, like countless spring cannibalizing leaves, and the noise was full of vitality.
It's just that the evil spirit in the prince's tone at the moment diluted this heavenly sound, and he smiled brightly - but his increasingly fierce gaze gradually wiped out all feelings, and he looked at his eldest son and youngest son coldly, "Although it is said that your imperial grandfather is old, and his father is no longer young, but now the royal body can be regarded as healthy, and the father has been fighting horses for half his life, and he is also healthy, you don't seem to need to worry so much, right?" ”
Hearing the anger and sarcasm in his father's tone, Jiang Yadan felt very embarrassed: "Father, that's not what the child and the nineteenth brother meant!" Just ......"
"It's just that you can't refuse your nineteenth brother's request?" The crown prince said mockingly, his blade-like gaze swept over the young son, "In the end, it is the person who was cultivated by your imperial grandfather - I can see your sex at a glance. Child! ”
Compared with Jiang Yadan's cramped and uneasy, Jiang Yashuang was calm: "The child has always known that the starling will inevitably let the child in serious matters!" ”
"So you trampled on the righteousness of filial piety with peace of mind?!" The prince suddenly raised his voice!
Jiang Yadan was startled, and hurriedly tried to intercede: "Father, this is not to blame the nineteenth brother, it is a child......
"Shut up!" The prince glanced at him coldly and pointed at the young son, "Say it yourself!" You have the ability to persuade your eldest brother to let you, and you have the ability to incite him to come here with you, don't tell me that you don't have the ability to stand up behind your eldest brother and answer me in a dignified manner! ”
"Dare to disobey my father's orders?" Jiang Yashuang calmly pulled Jiang Yadan's sleeve, walked to the front from behind him, made a gesture to the prince, and said calmly, "How dare you forget the word 'filial piety'?" But the child also understands the words 'do the best'! ”
The prince laughed out loud: "What a 'deserved'!" After laughing, his face suddenly gloomy, "Then you tell me, why do you take it seriously?!" ”
Without waiting for Jiang Yashuang to answer, the prince had already asked sharply, "Since ancient times, there have been heirs, but there are no heirs!" You have your eldest brother in front of you, and you should have been thinking about how to assist your brother in the future, but now you are not only ambitious, but also forced your eldest brother to come to ...... with brotherly affection."
"Father, the child was not forced by the nineteenth brother, the child was ...... voluntarily" Jiang Yadan, who thought that he had to say a word to his younger brother, interjected halfway, and was glared at by the prince's sharp eyes without saying a word and retracted without saying a word......
Although he was interrupted by him like this, the prince's momentum did not fall but rose, and his eyes turned back to the young son: "You don't obey the elders, hold your brother-in-law hostage, and argue about the throne in vain...... It can be described as unfilial piety and injustice! The character is so corrupt, even now that you are the prince of the county, you still remember that you are my Jiang family's bloodline, and you are worthy of being the leader?! ”
"My father is not the eldest son! The third uncle is the eldest son of the emperor's grandfather! Jiang Yashuang listened to the prince's reprimand, but his expression was always calm, and a faint sentence made the prince almost roll up his sleeves, "It shows that the rules of this dynasty are neither the establishment of a successor nor a long, but the establishment of a virtuous!" So why not ask your child to nominate himself? ”
Jiang Yadan wiped a cold sweat, smiled dryly and prepared to ease the atmosphere, and even rushed up to hug his father and let his younger brother run away - who would have thought that the prince would slap his palm on the case, but the angry expression before disappeared, and he looked like he had returned to his normal color: "Very good!" You're good! Even your uncle didn't dare to say such words, but I didn't expect it to come out of the mouth of a son of yours! It seems that if you don't show your 'virtuous' today, you are absolutely unwilling?! ”
The prince said these words calmly, but Jiang Yadan was shocked when he heard it, knowing that his father was probably really angry, and he had a heart, but he didn't find the right wording after racking his brains, but Jiang Yashuang had already spoken: "The child will explore flowers in high school before he reaches the crown, and he can know if he doesn't ask about his homework!" ”
"According to what you say, the top students in the calendar have the qualifications of the masters?!"
"Since entering the office, all the positions of the Hanlin Academy, the Imperial Historical Observatory, and the Ministry of Officials have all been evaluated!"
"One is that the person in charge of the evaluation is afraid of the power of my Jiang family, unless you are really unbearable, he dares to give you a bad evaluation?! It's nothing more than the face of your imperial grandfather, and you are embarrassed to count your own head! Second, you have been carefully instructed by your imperial grandfather since you were a child, and you still often go to the temple to ask for advice and listen to the hadiths - if you don't even have this ability, how stupid should you be?! ”
"My father only had three sons under his knees, and now the eldest brother voluntarily gave in, although the second brother has not yet returned, but my father did not bring the second brother when he returned to Beijing, and obviously he had no intention of choosing the second brother to inherit the throne! Who else can you choose if you don't choose a child like this?! ”
Jiang Yashuang saw her father refute the reasons she listed sentence by sentence, frowned, and simply made her words clear, "Could it be that my father plans to skip his children and choose from his grandchildren?!" ”
The Lord Shaoguo is suspicious that he is not joking! Especially how old are the prince's two most outstanding grandchildren, Jiang Jingkun and Jiang Jinglang? Jiang Jinglang is still Jiang Yashuang's son!
"Your eldest brother let you because of his friendship and brotherhood, and he was also deceived by your rhetoric - why do you also plan to count yourself as a 'virtuous'?" The prince laughed angrily, "I often didn't know that among my sons there was such a brazen person as you!" ”
Jiang Yashuang said calmly: "Sage, multi-talented!" can convince the eldest brother with his tongue, why can't he be regarded as a child's 'virtuous' place? ”
"I repeat: Dan'er was persuaded by you purely because of you! It's not that you're eloquent!! Rao is prince was still sneering, and he couldn't help but be so angry that the corners of his forehead jumped with bruises in his boast, and he roared again!
"This just shows that children know how to be flexible!" Who knew that Jiang Yashuang didn't mind Jiang Yashuang being next to him at all, and said calmly, "Since my father returned and made it clear that he wanted starling, the undercurrent of the government and the opposition has been surging, although the people who support starlings and support children have not pinched much on the surface, they have been handed over countless times in private!" In this case, the child is not discouraged and despairing; did not disregard the feelings of brotherhood to attack his brother; Instead, I directly asked the starling to talk about it! It not only shows that the child sees people accurately, and knows that this will persuade the starling to give up, but also reflects the child's character, not blinded by power, and hurts the harmony between his family......"
"Do you still think that you invited yourself to ask for Shi because I clearly expressed the importance of Dan'er, and you did it to be filial to me - after I didn't agree, you immediately stayed, this is more proof of your filial piety and obedience?!" The prince looked at him with a smile, "So I am actually fortunate to have a good, son, son who is so filial piety, sensible and considerate that he can be a model for the whole country?!" ”
Jiang Yashuang stretched out his hand from his sleeve and bowed: "Father is wise!" Although there was no complacent frivolity between his expressions, he was also as if this praise was absolutely deserved by him!
"Bang!"
The flat bottle of the Doucai Kaiguang Farming Diagram from the famous kiln of the previous dynasty smashed directly in front of his feet, and the prince was so angry that he gasped for a long time before he could scold: "Shameless! Say it! ”
"Children just can't bear to kill each other!" Jiang Yashuang glanced down at the broken porcelain in front of his feet—a few of them hit him when they splashed, but at this time the sky was not yet hot, and he was still wearing a jacket, so he didn't feel pain, so he just glanced casually and looked up, looked directly at the prince, and said word for word, "The child grew up in Beijing with the starling brother and the sixteenth brother, and although they are different in age, they have always been harmonious and friendly!" Starling's temperament, how can I not see that my father has been back in Beijing these days, starling is not a person who is willing to be bound by a big position! In that case, why does the father have to force the starling? If you give this to the children, wouldn't everyone get something?! ”
"You said I'll give it to you?!" The prince looked at him for a moment, then suddenly sneered and pointed in the direction of the main hall of the East Palace, "Then do you know how much I, as a father, have paid for this position now, and at what age can I summon you here as a master?!" Just because Dan'er is willing to let you, you think I have to give it to you?! Although I am only your three sons, I will not be coerced by you because of this! You can only say that you are dizzy when you hit this idea, do you understand?! ”
Hearing this roar, Jiang Yashuang was terrified, and frequently gave his younger brother a look and asked him to excuse himself - but he was about to tear Jiang Yashuang's sleeves, Jiang Yashuang didn't move at all, didn't even turn his head, and said lightly: "Why does father do this?" How can you not know what your child is really trying to say? ”
"What if you know?" When the prince heard this, he didn't continue to have a seizure, but was silent for a short time - his expression when he was silent was strange and complicated, and then he sneered, "You persuaded Dan'er today, and then pulled him together to ask for a meeting, obviously because you want to draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle, but you also feel that you are still very reasonable!" It's just that your truth is only your truth after all, and now the Jiang family, the East Palace, or the court, in short, this kind of place is not your turn to be in charge! So I don't admit your reasoning, so it's right for you to go back to the ministry and continue to do things! Do you know?! ”
Obviously, the prince is in a very bad mood now, and he has no interest in theorizing with his youngest son, so he directly brings out the dual identity of his father and the prince to oppress people!
Jiang Yadan was afraid that his younger brother would not be able to think about it, so he continued to collide, so he went up directly and grabbed his arm and dragged him outward, dragging and laughing: "Father, the nineteenth brother has drunk too much today, don't you know that he has never had much alcohol...... Turn around and persuade him to come and plead for you! ”
In terms of strength, Jiang Yashuang is not Jiang Yashuang's opponent for a long time, but Jiang Yashuang hesitated, but did not resist, and let him drag himself out--it-when he arrived at the door, he turned around and said to the prince with deep meaning: "Father, between siblings, such harmony and tolerance is something that many parents and elders dream of, and you really don't care about it at all?!" ”
"......" The prince's angry eyes flashed with a moment of complexity, and then returned to indifference, "After retreating this time, you will not be allowed to appear in the East Palace in the future!" ”
"Why are you so insightful today?" After the two brothers went out, Jiang Yadan wiped his cold sweat and complained to his younger brother, "It's not that I can't accompany you next time, what do you have to say everything today?" Especially the sentence that the father is not the eldest son of the emperor's grandfather - even if it is a fact, this is what we can say as sons?! You're dizzy, aren't you?! ”
This is the first time in many years that Jiang Yashuang has taught his younger brother such a serious lesson, but Jiang Yashuang didn't pay attention to it at all, and after smiling strangely, he said lightly: "Starling, the reason why your father is angry is really that I violated his taboo by speaking?!" ”
"What?" Jiang Yadan was stunned.
Jiang Yashuang dusted her sleeves, but she didn't mean to tell him in detail, she only said, "My father asked me not to appear in the East Palace if I have nothing to do in the future...... I'll go back now, starling! ”
"This kid ......" Jiang Yadan, who was confused, shouted a few times without shouting, and couldn't help but be angry when he saw him go away, "Will I throw it away when I'm done?!" ”
