Be a master through ancient times

Jiang Kui was on fire in the mansion. That evil animal dared to ignore the rules of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion. After a while, he disappeared without a trace.

Suddenly someone came to report that he was from the palace and announced him to the palace to face the saint.Jiang Kui was overjoyed, found the official uniform that he hadn't worn for many years, accepted the imperial edict respectfully, and entered the palace with the eunuch who declared the edict.

As soon as he left, the people he placed near Baique Nunnery came to report on the back, because they found the fourth young master there.If Jiang Kui went a little later, he might raise his vigilance and think of some excuses for himself.But he didn't hear it, so when he saw Jiang Xian standing there in the imperial study, his anger rushed to the top of his head.

"You evil beast, you were asked to copy the family rules in the palace, and you dare to leave without permission. Do you still have my father in your eyes?!" He cursed, then turned his head to look at Tianhe Emperor, and said, "My lord I have met the emperor, please forgive me for being a father, this child is really stubborn, I am afraid that he will go astray, so I will lose my dignity in front of you."

If the emperor didn't understand the hidden story, he might be moved by his excellent singing and writing performance.What happened when the father scolded the child a few words?No one can intervene in what is just and right.I have never seen a grandson like the old lady Jia who can only threaten Jia Zheng by returning to his ancestral home instead of directly challenging patriarchy.

But he had just heard the princess talk about a lot of things, people have preconceived habits, and this one in front of him is already a jackal in human skin.

The emperor raised his eyes slightly, and said: "The king of Zhennan is so majestic, he is an evil beast when he opens his mouth and keeps his mouth shut. You need to know that Xian'er has half the blood of my royal family. You call him that, but are you dissatisfied with my royal family?"

Jiang Kui was a little baffled, they all scolded him like this?Recently, that Chu Siye had ridiculed him with this incident, why did the emperor do the same thing?

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty." He knelt down, "I was in a hurry, and I didn't mean to be contemptuous of the royal family. It is my blessing to be favored by the late emperor and betroth Princess Pingchang to me. Four years ago, the princess abandoned the mundane world. , escaped into Buddhism, I was afraid that Xian'er would lose his sense of propriety due to lack of mother's education, so he became both a father and a mother, and lost his dignity for a while."

Jiang Kui said it with sincerity and sincerity, but what he meant was, who told your sister to become a nun, is it easy for me to raise a child by myself?

This Jiang Kui was kneeling next to Princess Pingchang, but he didn't recognize his former wife at all. It can be seen how much he ignored the princess in the past ten years!

"That's why I blamed you? Do you want me to compensate you?" Tianhedi still had that cool tone.

"I don't dare, the emperor is also Gu Nian Xian'er, Xian'er, why don't you kneel down and thank you."

Jiang Xian had a disgusted expression. Since he was a child, he had only heard the titles "Naughty Animal", "Beast", "Bastard" and "Jiang Xian", but suddenly he called him Xianer, It really made the acid water in his stomach rise up uncontrollably.

Seeing that Jiang Xian didn't listen to him, Jiang Kui suddenly felt ashamed, couldn't help but wanted to scold again, but tried to hold back a lonely expression.

"I know you have always held grudges against me because of the princess, but the princess wants to escape into Buddhism, and I, as a husband, can't stop it. Haven't you written some letters to her over the years? Did she ever reply to a letter?" For you? She no longer has our father and son in her heart. Now you and I are dependent on each other, and you still... oh!" Jiang Kui looked so much older in an instant, and people couldn't help but want to sigh, pity the parents of the world.

But none of these people in front of him moved at all. The emperor looked at him more like looking at a dead person, and the man who knelt beside him and has not revealed his identity was full of fire in his eyes, as if he wanted to tear him into pieces. Same.

"So...that's what you said about me! Jiang Kui, do you still have a conscience!" Princess Pingchang suddenly rushed towards Jiang Kui, scratching his face with her nails, looking like a shrew. Everyone was dumbfounded.

Jiang Kui was thrown to the ground suddenly, and after listening to her hoarse questioning, he didn't react for a while, and was scratched several times by her, his hair was messed up, and his neck was bleeding.

When he was so angry that he wanted to fight back, the emperor said: "If you don't pull the princess up, what's the point of doing this?"

Princess?Jiang Kui looked at the man who was pulled up by the eunuchs, and then he recognized that the man in front of him was his wife who had been married for more than 20 years.

It was a conspiracy, he looked around at the people.They just let him relax on purpose in order to take him down.

Jiang Kui got up, touched his face and neck, and when he saw the bright red blood, his eyes widened suddenly.

"You wicked woman! How dare you treat me like this?!"

"A bastard like you, I want to eat your blood and eat your flesh! You hypocrite is really a villain. You are a gentleman in front of others, and you are not as good as a pig or dog in the back. You will be punished by God one day!" Ping Princess Chang acted like crazy, using the most vicious words she could think of to attack him.

"Your Majesty, the princess has gone mad, I think it's better to put her in the madman's tower!" Jiang Kui stopped pretending and said directly to the emperor.

"Presumptuous! She is a princess of a country, how dare you disrespect her?" Although the emperor felt that the princess's behavior was a bit bad, Jiang Kui's words still made him feel offended.

"She has been married into the minister's mansion, and she has to be named Jiang on top of the surname Yu! Since ancient times, the husband has been the guide for wives, and the minister is the husband of the princess. Naturally, he has the right to decide how to deal with her. If the emperor intervenes, he will not be afraid of messing up the rules. Is it? Then let the ministers of the court and the people of the world come to judge and see which husband in the world can't deal with his wife!"

What he said sounded plausible, and Princess Pingchang trembled all over, almost collapsing, Jiang Xian immediately came to support her, with a worried face on her face.

Jiang Kui knew that there was no hope of entering the imperial court after today, but relying on his status as the Queen of the Eight Kings, he was also unscrupulous in front of the Emperor, because when the country was founded, it was ordered that those who inherit the position of the Eight Kings are not guilty of treason and treason. Other crimes are punished lightly, and neither jail nor punishment. The most remarkable thing is to confine him to Fuzhong.

Tianhedi's face became colder and colder. It's not all because of Princess Pingchang, but because of Jiang Kui's attitude, he thought of several others.

The eight kings are united in spirit, and although they do not occupy high positions in the court, they are very arrogant.What they rely on is nothing more than the unworldly achievements made by their ancestors back then.But this achievement has been overshadowed by several generations, even the achievements of splashing the sky should have been used up, right?It's a shame that these people have no self-knowledge!

"Your Majesty, what you said is wrong!" Chu Ci had received a communication before, and only now rushed over. As soon as he arrived, he heard the King of Zhennan utter nonsense here.

"It's you again?!" Jiang Kui stared at Chu Ci bitterly, with a murderous look in his eyes.

"Chu Siye, you came at the right time. You just said that what he said was wrong. Why?" Tianhedi didn't know why, and suddenly felt relieved.

"The humble ministers refer to the emperor. Of course the three cardinal guides and five constant rules are correct, but the prince misunderstood one thing. The first one of the three cardinal guides and five constant rules is that the ruler guides the subject, and the last one is the husband guides the wife. If it is an ordinary commoner, naturally only need to follow the last One, but the prince married a princess, so we can’t generalize it! In terms of status, Princess Pingchang is the daughter of the late emperor, your own sister, your majesty, her status is beyond words, she is the king. , inherited the throne, without the slightest contribution to the country, so he is naturally a minister. Since the king is the leader of the minister, it is natural that the prince wants to listen to the princess, so why do you have the right to dispose of the princess? Could it be that you want to rebel? ?”

"You spitting blood! How can she be called a monarch, you want to rebel!"

"Is it possible that the prince thinks that apart from the emperor, you are the most important thing? Princess Pingchang has a prominent status, even if she is not as good as the emperor, it is not something we courtiers can treat lightly! If you keep your mouth shut and want to deal with the princess, you are not guilty of the following. ?”

Chu Ci actually didn't have much recognition for these feudal things, but he was in this era, so he naturally had to be careful to hide his true heart.If he was wearing the founding emperor, maybe he would promote the idea of ​​equality for all and work hard to build socialism.But he is just a low-level official, the kind who would ransack his family and exterminate his family if he made a careless word. Naturally, he would not challenge these things, and could only test wildly on the edge of transgression.What's more, it is a very happy thing to refute them with something they are familiar with.

Jiang Kui was so angry that he trembled all over: "The king is a prince, and you are a low-rank official. If you speak against this king, don't you also commit the following crimes?"

"Please forgive me, my lord. My lord was wrong again. I'm just arguing with reason. I don't know what's right. If you want to understand what's right and wrong, you have to express your own opinions. Why come to contradict your words? Could it be that your lord is also a golden man? Can't other people refute it?" Chu Ci was probably a hunter in his previous life, and what he likes most is to set people up.

"You...you!" Jiang Kui didn't know what to say when he pushed him.

Emperor Tianhe looked at Chu Ci with a smile on his face. He felt that if Chu Siye could be transferred to Yushitai, there might be fewer disputes in the court in the future, and those people would weigh it again when they spoke. itself.

"Report to the emperor, Chen Zhuang's family from Chenjiacun, a commoner, brought it here!" At this moment, the eunuch's voice came from outside the door.

"Xuan!"

"Grass...Caomin...Chen Chenzhuang kowtowed to the emperor, long live the emperor!" Chen Zhuang seemed to be an honest man, and his wife and children did not appear to be treacherous or evil.

"Chen Zhuang, who ordered you to monitor the whereabouts of the princess day and night in Baique Temple?"

"Back to the emperor, I... Caomin did it according to Manager Jiang's orders, it's none of Caomin's business! He just asked Caomin to see if the princess was out. I have never done anything to the princess!" Chen Zhuang panicked, he The old woman was helping to light the fire and cook in the nunnery, and then she was followed by Manager Jiang. Could it be that she was going to kill the whole family for a tael of silver this month?

"You are helping the evildoers! Can you also spy on the whereabouts of the princess?"

Chen Zhuang was dizzy when he heard it. Although he didn't know what the emperor would say, he probably understood that he was scolding him.

"I didn't dare at first. Director Jiang repeatedly said that nothing will happen, so I took over." Chen Zhuang said tremblingly.

"Drag these unscrupulous people down to the [-]th board, confiscate their wealth, and drive them out of the capital." The emperor issued an order. Although he didn't want to argue too much with such people, it is a fact that they made mistakes.

After finishing cooking, the emperor turned to Jiang Kui again: "Jiang Kui, you don't distinguish between superiors and inferiors. You offend the superiors, imprison the princess in private, be unfaithful to your superiors, disrespect your wife, and be unkind to your son. It is an unforgivable crime! But read In the past, the king of Zhennan worked so hard, so I will only demote you to the rank of Duke of Zhen, and I want you to go back to the mansion to rectify it, and I don't want to see anything related to the king put on the outside again!"

Jiang Kui turned pale with shock: "Your Majesty! If you refuse to accept, this title is hereditary and cannot be changed. How can you downgrade it!"

"As a courtier, you have committed a crime below, and you have conspired against the emperor. The emperor's heart is kind, and he doesn't want to argue with you so much, but you still question the emperor? What's more, the hereditary succession was indeed determined by the Taizu, but you can't keep it yourself." Living in the title of knighthood, not to mention the shame of Zhennan Wangfu, but also to contradict the emperor, if I were an old man, I would have to let you sleep peacefully tonight." Chu Ci hit the nail on the head, he saw the man's threatening eyes just now, and asked If it's not him, why are you so annoying these days?Chu Ci decided to take all his anger on him.

Jiang Kui's face turned blue. He didn't know where he offended Chu Siye, but he still bit him!

At this time, Princess Pingchang knelt down again: "Brother Huang, sister-in-law wants to make peace with him. I have no relationship with this person at all, and we have become strangers when we get along, and there is no possibility of reunion."

Tianhedi looked at her: "Have you already decided?"

"Sister Chen has lost her mind, I just want to take Xian'er away, I don't want anything else."

"You are delusional, he is the son of my family, how can he enter into a family with a foreign surname!" Jiang Kui blushed with anger and his neck was thick.

"Jiang Kui, you don't like Xian'er at all, why do you insist on keeping him there!" Princess Pingchang glared at him.

Jiang Kui sneered, since he lost face, why should he make them feel better?

Princess Pingchang looked at Emperor Tianhe for help, but Emperor Tianhe frowned and didn't look at her. He couldn't decide this matter.The reason why he was able to be deposed was that he had made a big mistake. He had to think carefully about how to write the imperial decree so that the other seven kings would not criticize him.If they rashly intervene in the matter of separating the flesh and blood again, I'm afraid they will seize this point and make a big fuss.

Sometimes, it is very difficult to be a good emperor.A foolish ruler can act recklessly, but a wise ruler cannot.

Princess Pingchang's heart has cooled down, if she can't take Xian'er away, then what's the use of her reconciliation with Li?

"Princess, you really can't take Jiang Xian away and remove his name from the Zhennan Prince's Mansion. Oh, no, it's the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion who removed his name. After all, he is the son and grandson, and he will inherit the title in the future. But as a The princess of the country should have a princess mansion. I think so, if you take Jiang Xian to live in the princess mansion from time to time, Zhen Guogong should not have any objections, right? After all, the relationship between mother and child It is also the nature of human relations, Duke Zhen will definitely not disregard human relations and not allow mother and child to meet each other."

Princess Pingchang fell into deep thought, Tianhedi covered his lips with his hand to cover his upturned lips.Only Jiang Xian was puzzled and didn't understand the meaning of his words.

What Chu Ci said, Duke Zhen not only had to share half of his family wealth for reconciliation, but also let Jiang Xian inherit the title after a hundred years, and also gave the princess an excuse to take Jiang Xian away from his control!What is left of him?There was only Jiang Xian's name left on the family tree!

Jiang Kui understood, and was about to die of anger, so he closed his eyes and collapsed, letting himself fall into a coma, not wanting to see this wicked person again.
