Come on
Not long after, the king came to the imperial study, and after going in to salute, the emperor sat him down.
"Emperor, you rarely come here in normal times, how did you remember to enter the palace this time?" the emperor asked with a smile.
King De hurriedly replied: "Back to his father's words, Erchen has heard that there is constant turmoil in the court recently, and he thinks that he is the son of his father, but he has not been able to serve his father, and he feels very uneasy. ”
The emperor he said earlier was quite happy, but at the end of the mention, King Qing, the emperor's face immediately became cloudy.
"Hmph, the third brother is not angry, don't mention him, as soon as I mention him, I will be angry!"
When King De heard this, he smiled without missing a trace in his heart, and quickly replied on the surface: "My father forgives my sins, and my son did not do it on purpose. ”
"Hey, what are you guilty of, there are no outsiders now, you and I are father and son, not kings and ministers, and the son is in front of the father, so there is no need to be so restrained. The Emperor said with a smile.
"Thank you, Father. ”
In this way, the two chatted for a while, and King De figured that the time had arrived, so he said: "Father, the son suddenly remembered something, and I don't know whether to say it or not. ”
"Didn't I say it? There's no outsider here, but you say it's okay. The Emperor replied.
"Father, do you remember Wen Jin?" asked King De.
The emperor frowned, then pondered for a while before replying, "Remember, isn't he the son of the Marquis of Ankang? Speaking of which, he is still your cousin." ”
"It was this person who suddenly ran to the son's house today and cried to the son, saying that he had been beaten outside. King De said.
"Beaten up?" the emperor's voice changed, and then he asked, "It's impossible, who would provoke him among ordinary people?"
"Wen Jin, my father may not understand, this person has always been lazy and lazy, and his behavior is perverse, and he often offends people. ”
When King De said this, what else could the emperor do? Can't he just say it with him, wouldn't that seem to be saying that the relatives of Emperor Shuxian and Concubine Shuxian were incompetent?
"Emperor, don't say that, maybe his heart is not yet mature, and he may be fine in the future. The Emperor said.
"Father, actually, it's not a big deal to talk about it, it's just that Wen Jin told me that before he was beaten, he once reported his identity, saying that Erchen was his eldest cousin, and that Ankang Hou was his father, this"
After saying this, King De stopped talking at the right time, and now he also observed the emperor's face before deciding whether to continue.
"Oh, I said it before I was beaten, and I will be beaten again?" Sure enough, the emperor's reaction was the same as when he heard it.
"Yes, Erchen also thinks it is strange, dare to beat the emperor's relatives, what a boldness. King De said.
"Hmph! If that's the case, regardless of Wen Jin's right or wrong, this beating is really too arrogant!"
You must know that the current emperor is good at everything, but there is one point, he is too face-saving, especially when it comes to imperial power, and he attaches more importance to it, which can be seen from the fact that he did not hesitate to exchange ten cities for his son.
And King De just grasped this point, he didn't mention anything else, but took the lead in telling Wen Jin that he had revealed his identity to the other party before he was beaten, and I have to say that King De's scheming is indeed extraordinary.
"Yes, Erchen knows that the royal face is more important than everything, even if Wen Jin is wrong, but after all, he is a relative of the emperor and an ordinary person, how can he do it?" King De saw that the emperor's meaning was the same as he thought, and continued.
"In this way, you go and ask that Wen Jin, if you know that you don't know the other party's name or residence, you will confess when you turn around, and let people arrest that person in prison and lock him up for a few years. The Emperor pondered for a moment and said.
"Father, Wen Jin said that he knew the name of that person, and moreover, he also told his son. King De said.
"Oh, what's your name?" asked the Emperor curiously.
"It seems to be called Chi," said King De, frowning and patting his head, as if he couldn't remember.
"Oh! I remember, it's called Chi Zhongtian!" Suddenly, he slapped the arm of his chair hard, and then blurted out.
"Chi Zhongtian?" After hearing this, the emperor tilted his head back, as if it was incredible.
"Which pool in the sky?"
"Father, do you know a man named Chi Zhongtian?" said King De, pretending to be tentative.
"Yes, the general of Shenwu Long Yangwei in the court is also called Chi Zhongtian, I have something important to announce his return to Beijing, I think it should be there in the next two days, is it him?" said the emperor as he touched his beard with his hand.
"Oh, then since that's the case, Erchen won't say much, think about it, it may be another person, if it was General Chi, he would definitely not be like this. King De said.
"This"
Just when the emperor was a little hesitant, the eunuch outside suddenly said outside the door: "Your Majesty, the Shenwu Dragon Yangwei General Chi Zhongtian asks to see you." ”
"Haha, what are you talking about, this kid really can't help but chatter!"
As soon as the emperor heard that Chi Zhongtian was coming, he immediately laughed.
Speaking of which, after Chi Zhongtian taught Wen Jin a lesson, he saw that the time was almost up, so he planned to enter the palace again to see if the emperor was there.
"Quick, announce his audience!"
"Yes!"
"Xuan, Shenwu Dragon Yangwei General Chi Zhongtian will meet you!"
A sharp and distant voice quickly came out, and it didn't take long for Chi Zhongtian to walk in from outside.
"Long live the emperor in the middle of the court, long live, long live!"
"Chi Aiqing is flat!" the emperor hurriedly said.
After Chi Zhongtian stood up, he found that there was a person standing next to him, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be King De, which startled him.
Coincidentally, King De was looking at him with a smile, but his eyes were not so friendly.
"I didn't expect His Royal Highness King De to be there, and the last general will see His Royal Highness!" Chi Zhongtian hurriedly saluted King De.
Who would have thought that it didn't matter if he saluted, King De suddenly remembered the words he had just said, and his heart immediately began to churn.
"Oh, Chi Aiqing has seen him?" the Emperor asked, pointing to King De.
"His Royal Highness King De has excellent conduct, and everyone in the court knows about it, and of course the ministers have seen it. Chi Zhongtian replied respectfully.
I don't know weishenme, Chi Zhongtian complimented King De so much, King De actually felt uncomfortable all over his body.
"Okay, in this way, Chi Aiqing, don't say anything else in advance, there is one thing I want to ask you. The Emperor said.
"Your Majesty, please command. Chi Zhongtian replied.
"Do you know a person named Wen Jin?"
