Pick all the cold branches

Jia Yu had been waiting for Jia Shou to finish changing clothes in a hurry before leading him out again, and honestly knelt side by side in front of his father.Finally, he looked like an older brother leading a younger brother.

Seeing this honest look, the emperor relaxed his brows a little, but still kept his voice calm, and asked Jiayu, "What do you want to say? You're in such a hurry."

Jia Yu lowered his head and knelt down in a regular manner, "I want to ask Father, has Zhang Siyuan been summoned?"

This question was not what the emperor expected.

As early as the day Jiafei and the others returned to Beijing, the emperor had secretly summoned Zhang Siyuan.All kinds of things in Suzhou, how Lu Shiquan went to the Japanese in vain, how Jiafei fought against the Lu family and repelled the Japanese pirates, including how Zhen Xian asked himself to be imprisoned and how he was seriously injured, the emperor already knew clearly.

Until Jiafei angrily killed Yang Siding and insisted on "returning" his body to the Supervisor of Rituals, the emperor felt that his son was not easy.

However, it fell short.

Whenever Zhenxian was involved, Jiafei was always on the verge of losing control, and would collapse if he didn't pay attention.

The emperor was angry, even disappointed, precisely because of this momentary collapse.

It's understandable, but unforgivable.

Just because Jiafei is not the son of an ordinary family, but the son of an emperor.So he can pamper anyone he likes, but he must not be obsessed.He must take it in and out freely, and once he needs to give up, he will be decisive and merciless.

Born in an emperor's family, he enjoyed more wealth and power, which also meant he had to take on more responsibilities and make more sacrifices.This is the awakening of the king, and martyrdom for the emperor.

But until this moment, in Jiafei's body, the emperor felt that he had never seen this kind of awareness.

If Jiafei can never have this kind of awareness, no matter how hard he is in martial arts, he will never be able to become a qualified emperor.This has nothing to do with his father's decision to pass on the great tradition to the throne, but that he himself will not be able to adapt, and will be overwhelmed with pain.

Jia Fei just didn't realize it yet, he and Zhen Xian were destined not to be fellow travelers.

As for the son of Jiafei, from the standpoint of the king of a country, it is natural to hope that he will eventually come to his senses, but as a father, for many moments, the emperor can't help but think, why not let it go, let nature take its course is extremely All right, as long as he can be happy and free from pain.

In a trance for a moment, the emperor suddenly took a deep breath, retracted his gaze scattered in the distance, and asked in a low voice, "How did you call me? So what if you didn't call me?" As an emperor, he naturally couldn't let his son question him like this.

But Jia Yu kept looking at his father.

But in just a short moment, he actually saw more emotions in his father's eyes than he had seen in his life.

He felt that the father at this moment was like a living person like never before, like a worried, distressed, and conflicted father.

It's not that the father doesn't care about them, and he doesn't want to abandon them, especially the second brother.

For so many years, he has not been wrong in his judgment of his father.The father still cherishes the second brother and is towards the second brother.

Jia Yu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, his heart hung up for several days, and finally returned to the original position, and immediately became dizzy and almost fell down.

But the dust has not settled yet, he can't fall down at this time.

Jia Yu secretly bit the tip of her tongue fiercely, continued to ask with a sullen face, "If the father has already summoned Zhang Siyuan, there is no need for me to say anything unnecessary. I just want to ask one more question. Or Chen Shiqin?"

He asked this on purpose.

However, such straightforward and disobedient questioning obviously frightened his mother.

"Silang!" Before the emperor could speak, Concubine Wan Gui couldn't help but want to push him back.

But Jiayu couldn't hold it down.Instead, he went one step further, staring closely at his father and asking:

"Father is the son of heaven, but for a mere eunuch, he put his second brother in prison and ignored me, and blocked me from the forbidden wall. Even Qilang, the youngest son who just recovered his life from the border, ignored him. , not to mention state affairs, don't you want father and son relationship?"

Before the words fell, Concubine Wan Gui fainted on the ground.

The emperor was not angry, as if he had already understood Jiayu's intentions.

"Your second brother is going to prison by himself, no one wants to lock him up. I never said that I want to lock him up."

He even raised his hand to straighten the wide sleeves of his Taoist robe.

Father's expression and posture eased down.

Jia Yu was secretly happy in his heart, but pouted with aggrieved face.

"Since this is the case, why doesn't the father want to see his sons? Is it because the father doesn't want to see him? Or is there someone who doesn't want his father to see him?"

He paused for a moment, bit his lips and lowered his eyes, and continued in a hoarse voice:

"I'm planning for my second brother to save myself. Father, our brothers are all your sons, and you know what each of them looks like. If something happens to my second brother, I would rather end it myself, so as not to be eunuched one day To play with the humiliation in the palm of your hand."

This little Si'er actually ate to death the unbearable thought in his father's heart, and was threatening his father with his life.

His fourth son is really too smart.

The emperor squinted at Jia Yu, and grinned for a long time.

"'Playing'? Who can play with you! You can force the palace!"

"I don't dare." Jia Yu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she puckered her mouth obediently.

"You have nothing to dare. You even dare to teach your father a lesson." The emperor looked at him more cheerfully.

Concubine Wan Gui was dizzy for a moment, and finally woke up slowly, when she heard this sentence, she hurriedly prostrated herself and threw herself at the emperor's feet, pleading: "Your Majesty, Shiro is still young and ignorant—"

"you shut up."

Before she could finish speaking, the emperor had already pushed her away in disgust.

He only stared at Jia Yu, his expression was suppressed, and he smiled very sharply.

"Okay. You are so smart, tell me, I called your second brother here, what else can I tell him? He has such a big idea, even if he refuses to accept the imperial decree, what else can he do? Need to let me know?"

"Tell me two things: the first one is to reject the Tatars to attack Japanese pirates; the second one is to kill profiteers to fill the treasury."

Jia Yu immediately raised her head, and an enterprising light flashed in her eyes.

It's not like he made up for the second brother.Based on his understanding of the second brother, the two things must have been planned by the second brother, but they have not been formally carried out in the heart.

Especially the second one.

Because Zhen Xian might object.

Frankly speaking, Lu Lan is guilty, but he may not be so guilty. Some of them are involuntary, and I am afraid that it is not enough for outsiders.

However, the emptiness of the national treasury has always been taken from the people. If it is not taken from the people, it can only be taken from the merchants.

If the second elder brother brought this matter up, he would definitely feel embarrassed because of Zhen Xian.Therefore, only if he speaks for the second elder brother first, and then his father makes an order, can Zhen Xian have nothing to say.

It's a pity that even if he was allowed to do this for the second elder brother, he still couldn't reach the point of "picking out all the cold branches".

Jia Yu curled her lips, showing a trace of annoyance, and snorted angrily: "Second brother is wholeheartedly concerned about the state affairs for the father, and has already made plans. If it wasn't for the villain to force him every step of the way, why would he hide in the imperial prison to avoid disaster?"

"He went to prison because he resisted the decree and killed Yang Siding." The emperor slightly closed his eyes.

"Father, don't you think Yang Siding shouldn't die?" Jia Yu raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction.

Yang Sided deserved to die, but not at the hands of Prince Jing Jiafei.

Of course Jia Yu understood this in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have tried to persuade his second brother that day.But since they have already been killed, how can the father hold this talk.If the father is not angry anymore, he shouldn't hold on to this matter anymore.

Thinking like this, Jia Yu suddenly looked at his father.

How could the emperor not understand that look, and immediately burst into laughter.

"Should I die or not? I've already killed it." He replied like this, which meant that he had exposed the matter, turned his face to look at Jiashou who had been kneeling beside him silently, and cleared his throat, "Qilang, your fourth brother said What do you think of these?"

"I……"

Jiashou choked when he opened his mouth.

Originally, he had been hiding behind the fourth brother, thinking that there was nothing wrong with him, but who would have thought that his father would suddenly call his name and ask him what he thought.

What else could he have thought?

Unlike the second and fourth brothers, he understands everything, thinks deeply and sees far... When he speaks out his thoughts, he is full of anger.

Jiashou made a bitter face in embarrassment, hesitated for a moment, and muttered: "Father, you are far away in the palace, and you don't know. When we were in Suzhou, we were bullied terribly, and the fourth brother was almost burned to death. Well... why don't you feel sorry for us, but turn your elbows outward—"

He even said that his father turned his elbow outward.

This is a person sitting in the palace, and sin comes from heaven.

Concubine Liu was fortunate at first that the emperor never asked Jiashou for questioning, maybe he didn't care too much about Jiashou's messing around with his brothers, but who would have thought that he would come right after him, and suddenly couldn't keep up with him, so he couldn't keep up. on the ground.

Jiashou was not as courageous as his fourth brother, seeing his mother fainted, he jumped up in fright, rushed forward, hugged Concubine Liu and pinched her hands.

The emperor was overjoyed seeing his youngest son's sweaty face.

"Then what do you think I should do to be considered 'turning inward'?"

"You arrest that eunuch Lu Shiquan first! He is a bad man! He bullied fourth brother and me!" Jiashou was anxious, and couldn't care about anything for a while, so he opened his mouth, thought for a while, and added, "And the profiteer Lu Lan who colluded with Lu Shiquan, I don't think he looks like a good person! The bad things in Zhejiang are all done by them!"

"What else? Then who do you think is a good person?" The emperor frowned, and his angry face had completely turned into a suppressed smile.

Jiashou raised his face, "Mr. Zhen is a good man, and Brother Su Baba is also a good man! I can come back alive, thanks to them saving me!"

He mentioned Zhen Xian so suddenly.

Suddenly, the smile that had just recovered on the emperor's face froze.

I let you say whatever you want, but I didn't let you say it so casually...

Jiayu's teeth were itching with hatred, and she wanted to kick this stupid brother out and throw him into the North Sea to feed the fish, but she couldn't say anything, so she had to secretly grab Jiashou with her hands behind her back.

Fortunately, the emperor didn't care too much, he just froze for a moment, then left Jiashou and diverted the conversation.

"How did you arrange that little Tatar princess?" He asked Jia Yu seemingly casually.

Jia Yu is naturally a child of the Tao, so he quickly lowered his head and begged for mercy pitifully:

"I originally found a house, but I always felt that it was inappropriate, and I couldn't ask for the holy will, so I sent her to my mother first on my own initiative. In fact, I didn't enter the palace today because I wanted to provoke my father. Angry. I asked my grandfather to come to my mother to talk about this matter. Just now, I was just talking nonsense, father, you are magnanimous, if I know my mistake, please forgive me once."

The words were mellow, paving the way for the emperor's father, and by the way, he also said a few words for the mother and grandfather, coaxing the emperor to feel at ease.

But this little Si'er is too capricious because of his cleverness.Gambling, there is always a time when you lose a bet.If you don't teach him a lesson, I'm afraid he will always get into trouble in the future.

The corners of the emperor's lips were stained with a smile, and he took a look at Jia Yu's rare appearance with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes.

"You talked to your grandfather about this, so what did you mean when you scolded Mr. Cao Ge?"

Jia Yu's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and his face turned pale immediately.

For the first moment, he thought it was Mr. Cao Ge who sued him at his father.

But he quickly dismissed the idea himself.

No matter how you say it, Mr. Cao Ge is still Mr. Ge, so there is no reason for him to sue his juniors without respecting his status.

In this way, there is only one possibility.The father has placed eyeliner at his grandfather's house.

It's not surprising.

On the left of the father, there is the East Factory and on the right there is Jinyiwei, and the grandfather is a relative after all.

Father is beating him.

I just don't know if grandpa and the elderly know about it.Eighty percent don't know.Otherwise, how dare you talk nonsense at home every day...

In an instant, Jiayu's head and body were covered in cold sweat, and he really kept his head down and didn't dare to breathe, let alone speak back.

The appearance of being subdued at this moment was also very useful to the emperor, so he reprimanded him with a straight face:

"You're young, you can't hold back your mouth, and you yell at your elders at every turn. Cao Ge is always the chief assistant of the cabinet, a veteran of three dynasties, and he is 70 years old. I haven't yelled at him yet. You It's pretty awesome."

Although the father scolded him, he didn't seem to be particularly angry in his aura.

Jia Yu carefully raised his eyes to look at the emperor's face, and muttered unwillingly: "I have already made amends to Mr. Cao Ge..."

Unexpectedly, the emperor chuckled lightly.

"Don't you like playing eunuch, then go and call your second brother and that Zhen Xian. Call Zhang Siyuan, Cao Min and Chen Shiqin too. You go in person."

Why did the emperor want him to do such errands?

The others are fine, but he doesn't want to invite Chen Shiqin.

What's more, what he said just now will reach Chen Shiqin's ears in a short time.Meeting each other, new and old enemies, I don't know how to be disgusting.

Even if the royal father thinks he has committed a crime and wants to punish him, why can't he use another method...

"Father—" Jia Yu still wanted to try to beg for mercy.

The emperor glanced at him and cut him off.

"If you say one more word, I will let you change into the eunuch's clothes before going."

In an instant, Rao Jiayu couldn't help but froze, opened his mouth but dared not make a sound anymore.
