Chapter 8: The Father's Reason

"Father, the child asks to see." Jiang Sunche stood in front of the door and saluted.

Jiang Yiquan pushed the door out, "It's so late, what's the matter with me?" What happened to your hand? ”

Jiang Yiquan saw Jiang Sunche's bandaged left hand for the first time, frowned and asked, and walked to Jiang Sunche's side to check after speaking.

"Just now, the child wanted to practice swordsmanship, but he was too rusty, and if he didn't notice it for a while, he hurt his palm, which was out of the way. The child disturbed his father so late because he wanted to ask what dowry our family had prepared for my seven unmarried wives, and if we didn't hunt geese today, could we replace it with something else. Jiang Sun Che said sincerely, and secretly winked at Jiang Yiquan again.

But Jiang Yiquan kept staring at Jiang Sun Che's injured hand, didn't see Jiang Sun Che's eyes, and pulled him into the room in a little anxious, and said as he walked, "The most taboo in martial arts practice is to be anxious for quick success, you can't even use an unopened sword, how can you use a sharp weapon, come in with me, I'll take a look at the wound, and I'll talk about other things tomorrow." ”

Jiang Sun Che's heart warmed, and his father first focused on him, not other things, which made his father's heart more firm.

"You sit down first, I'll go get the medicine." Jiang Yiquan gave an order and went to the inner room to find medicine.

Jiang Sunche stood at the door, looked at the courtyard, closed the door after making sure that there was no one, and pressed Jiang Yiquan, who was going to help him rebandage. "Father, the two of us haven't talked for a long time, have we?"

"Huh?" Jiang Yiquan didn't understand his son's sudden jump too much, didn't he just talk about the dowry? Why are you talking about it again?

Although they didn't understand, the father and son hadn't talked for a long time, so they nodded in agreement.

"Father, I'll tell you a story." Jiang Sun Che pondered for a while and said.

"Okay."

"I saw a story in a picture book, about a country called Qing, striving for development, and finally ruling the world, the second emperor of this country, there is a general who can fight well, called Ao Bai, he helped the emperor to calm the troubled times and unify the world. There are dragons, and there are unparalleled bravery, known as the first warrior......"

Speaking of this, Jiang Yiquan somewhat understood, his son had something to say, but he didn't speak, but continued to listen.

“…… Ao Bai assisted the second and third emperors of the Qing Dynasty, and after the fourth emperor of the Qing Dynasty ascended the throne, because the new emperor was young, Ao Bai's ambition began to grow unstoppably, and he began to have a different kind of thought. He wanted to climb higher, but he was already a supreme minister, and that was the only place to go up......"

Jiang Sunche stopped and observed his father's face, but did not get any information.

He really couldn't observe anything, so Jiang Sunche had to continue, "So he colluded with his friends, took over the military power, covered the sky with one hand in the court, and even the new emperor had to live under his face, that was his most beautiful period of time, as if he was only one step away from that position."

But he did not succeed in reaching the summit in the end, he failed, and in the eighth year of the new emperor's accession to the throne, the new emperor, with the support and help of many ministers, arrested Ao Bai and locked him up, and he died a miserable death in prison. ”

After the story was told, Jiang Sunche stared at his father directly, wanting to wait for something.

"Very good story, come on, I'll help you refill the medicine." Saying that, Jiang Yiquan untied the bandage on Jiang Sun Che's hand.

Jiang Sun Che did not resist, but continued to say in a tone as sharp as a knife, "Father, the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers do not die, it is for disloyalty. I think this sentence is ridiculous, but the child wants to know what you think of this sentence? ”

Jiang Sunche didn't believe that Daddy didn't hear what he meant, he had already said it so bluntly, if Daddy still couldn't hear what it meant, then Daddy's general position was probably picked up, and it was the kind that was picked up in the toilet.

"I always thought that if you didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, it would be difficult to live without me, but now it seems that I was too worried." Jiang Yiquan said with a light smile, the movements in his hands did not stop, and he neatly untied the bandage.

Looking at the deep wound, Jiang Yiquan's distress could no longer be concealed, and his movements became more gentle.

"The tree is very popular, my father is already the head of the generals, if I perform very well, it will attract more people to be jealous of my father." Jiang Sun Che hit the street, his face was not red, his heart was not beating, and he lied when he opened his mouth.

Jiang Yiquan smiled with some relief, but still didn't speak, and concentrated on helping Jiang Sun Che treat his wounds.

Jiang Sun Che took a deep breath, simply said it thoroughly, and pierced the layer of window paper, "Does Father want to ascend to that position?" ”

"Presumptuous!" Jiang Yiquan snorted.

Jiang Yiquan wanted to say something more, but he was afraid of being heard, so he immediately lowered his voice and said, "How dare you say such a rebellious thing!" ”

"Father, I'm about to get married, I'm a man, I should know why you hold on to the military power." Jiang Sun Che was not afraid, and his eyes did not dodge, and he looked at Jiang Yiquan's round eyes.

The father and son seemed to be playing a game of who would blink first, and they just looked at each other.

There seemed to be a nightingale chirping outside the window, but it didn't interrupt the two.

Jiang Sun Che's eyes were bloodshot, but he stubbornly didn't dodge or blink.

After a while, Jiang Yiquan was defeated and sighed, "Hey, you are really like your mother, just as stubborn." ”

"I just want to know why?" Jiang Sunche's tone also softened, and he said in an almost pleading voice.

"It's better that you don't know much about the things in the court."

"But I'm your son, no matter what you want to do, others will think I know, so what's the difference between telling me or not?" Jiang Sunche said.

Jiang Yiquan was stunned, he had been hiding it from Jiang Sun Che before, just to keep him away from danger, thinking that he would be safe if he didn't know, but now it seems that Jiang Yiquan is taking it for granted.

Jiang Yiquan quickly gave Jiang Sun Che the medicine, bandaged it, and then said to Jiang Sun Che, "Follow me." ”

Jiang Sun Che followed Jiang Yiquan to the back room, there are not too many things here, the most conspicuous thing is a tablet, on which a tablet is enshrined, on which the position of his beloved wife Sun Mei is written.

Jiang Yiquan handed his son three sticks of incense, and he also took three sticks, and the two of them worshipped and inserted them in the incense burner in front of the tablet.

Then Jiang Yiquan knocked three times on the third wall tile on the right side of the tablet, and the wall tile actually popped out, revealing a secret box inside.

Jiang Yiquan opened the secret box, took out the books inside, and handed them to Jiang Sun Che.

Jiang Sunche took it and looked at the two words on it, 'Will'.

Jiang Sunche still didn't quite understand, so at the suggestion of his father, he opened the book.

There are one name after another recorded on it, as well as their conduct, ability, and deeds.

"Father, this ......" Jiang Sunche still didn't understand, whether he wanted to rebel or not, couldn't he give a happy word? I have to play unfathomable, I really think I'm a little prodigy.

"That's why."

"I want to re-elect the general in charge of the army for Bei'an."

'Well, I still want to rebel. ’
