Chapter 112 The Youngest Son of the Lin Family
Chapter 112 The Youngest Son of the Lin Family
Jiang Zihan was sitting on a high throne, with a dark five-clawed dragon pattern embroidered on his robe. He just got angry and sent Mr. Chen's chief assistant and several senior officials to prison.
The hall was empty except for a few servants guarding the door.
It was already dusk, and the hall was a little dark.
The remaining court ladies and eunuchs held their breath carefully, for fear of offending the moody king.
At the entrance of the main hall, Jiang Zishuo was dressed in fox fur and followed by a guard. He looked more mature and less domineering.
After Jiang Zihan ascended the throne, he became a prince and Jiang Zihan's half-brother. To have this honor.
But what surprised everyone was that he didn't take pride in being favored. It may be that after all these things, he became more sensible and behaved a lot better.
The relationship between him and Jiang Zihan is actually quite delicate. Although they are brothers, Jiang Zihan has been raised under the queen's lap since he was a child, so it is conceivable that his life is not very good.
Jiang Zishuo didn't know much, but it could be seen that the relationship between his mother and concubine Jiang Zihan was tense.
What makes their relationship even more tense is that they are all chasing that position. Jiang Zihan's insecurity makes him chase power, but Jiang Zishuo actually has no ambitions. He has whatever he wants since he was a child, and that position is a chore to him. , but he bears the expectations of his mother and concubine.
In the end, he lost without any regrets, and even breathed a sigh of relief. He spent a lot of time with Jiang Zihan in the past, knowing Jiang Zihan's ability to some extent.
But he was a little anxious, he also understood Jiang Zihan's moodiness, he knew that it was his elder brother who didn't like him.
He didn't know why Jiang Zihan favored him like this, and the mother clan he shared with Jiang Zihan didn't give him any help, he was prepared to be downcast, after all, he was a prince, and he wouldn't be downcast if he wasn't welcomed go.
During the days when Jiang Zihan succeeded to the throne, his mother clan asked him to stay in the army, so he had to put up with tempering himself in the army.
Maybe it was to avoid suspicion, he didn't get involved in sensitive political affairs, and he didn't take power, but Jiang Zihan didn't care much about these, since he liked martial arts but not, he was given a guard with a lot of power.
Now he seems to have changed from a bully that everyone hides when he sees him into a hot young talent in Beijing.
Seeing him passing by, Jiang Zihan's servant father-in-law was relieved.
"You're here, I'll let you know."
"Eunuch Le is not in a hurry, is the Holy One still sitting?"
"Isn't it? It's been a day. You see, this dinner is useless. Others are trivial matters. The old servant is afraid that the Holy One will be angry. Go and persuade him."
Jiang Zihan had just succeeded to the throne, hadn't stabilized the situation in the court, turned the court into his own voice according to his own wishes, and hadn't obtained the absolute right to speak of the king, so he couldn't wait to target Su Lingran and seize the military power from him.
The ministers of the court thought it was just to guard against Su Lingran's power to bully the lord. This kind of thing happened in all dynasties, but the method was too radical. The general method is to reward titles and wealth, and to be promoted secretly. Without chilling the hearts of the veterans, and slowly bringing back the military power, this is the way to be a king.
The old Shoufu thought that the new monarch was too eager for quick success, so he tried to persuade him to take it slowly.
Jiang Zihan didn't know, he had a ruthless eye for people, Su Lingran was definitely not a power-hungry person, Jiang Zihan was very relieved to keep him on the frontier, if it wasn't for Lin Luan, he wouldn't touch Su Lingran at all.
Naturally, this cannot be said to outsiders, so many ministers took turns persuading them, but Jiang Zihan blocked them impatiently.
Then they did a few more absurd things, and the old ministers who used to be old gods couldn't sit still anymore. They couldn't hold back when they saw too many young people. But I have seen stubborn people, but I have never seen Jiang Zihan so stubborn.
If it doesn't work once, it's the second time. Anyway, I tried my best to make trouble for Su Lingran, it's like being dazed.
Several old ministers discussed and knelt together in front of the Qianqing Palace, which was persecution, and it was considered a moderate blow.
It's useless, the old Shoufu, who is already an old fox, was fooled back by Jiang Zihan's few words. Jiang Zihan is very cunning and used to take advantage of language loopholes. Can't find the loopholes in his words.
The old ministers summed up the sum and felt that this could not go on, and they all remonstrated in the morning court.
This is quite disrespectful to Jiang Zihan. I thought that Jiang Zihan would restrain himself a bit. After all, he hasn't taken over much from him yet, and he only cares about making Su Lingran feel uncomfortable.
But no one expected that Jiang Zihan would directly send them to prison.
Now people in the imperial court are in panic, and there are rumors that the new emperor is moody and has the appearance of a tyrant. There are more secret rumors that the new emperor's succession is forced to come.
Jiang Zihan didn't care about these rumors. A tyrant is a tyrant. He was not a good-tempered person. As for forcing the palace, this is a fact. Not going to get angry about it.
Their admonition this time was just the last straw that broke the camel's back. Jiang Zihan was frustrated frequently and was already very anxious. In such a state, someone bumped into the door, and it happened to be very bad luck, and he became Jiang Zihan's punching bag.
Jiang Zihan has now fallen into an extremely irrational state, even outsiders can see clearly, Jiang Zihan naturally understands, but in the end, it is just a matter of unwillingness or resignation, and it gradually becomes an obsession.
Jiang Zishuo's brows and eyes also opened, and he became quieter, giving people a sense of reliability.
Even though the servant's father-in-law has become a human being in this palace, and he has seen the big wind and waves, but the new king still makes him a little worried. Seeing Jiang Zishuo is like meeting the backbone, so even if the Holy Majesty wants to vent his anger, it's not too bad. to these people.
Jiang Zishuo listened carefully to Eunuch Le's words and nodded.
"Success, Eunuch Le, go and report."
"Hey, let's go now, Your Highness, please wait a moment."
Eunuch Le entered the main hall, walked lightly to Jiang Zihan's side, barely making a sound, and there were only slight footsteps when he got close to him.
There are many ways here, even walking, some people say that he can actually not make a sound at all, and deliberately make some noises to remind the Holy One when he gets close, otherwise he will speak rashly and startle the Holy One, which is not a good thing.
Seeing Jiang Zihan move his head slightly, he knew that the Holy Majesty had regained his senses, Eunuch Le said softly.
"Your Majesty, the Third Highness is waiting outside."
"Let him in."
"promise."
small theater action
When Jiang Zishuo went in, he happened to see Jiang Zihan propping his face with his hands, leaning against the armrest of the seat, immersed in the shadows, and a beam of evening sunlight leaked from outside, hitting his feet just right.
He looked on coldly, with such majesty that no one dared to look directly at him.
At this time, Jiang Zishuo roughly understood why Jiang Zihan got the seat in the end.
He bent down willingly, his voice still had some youthful clarity, but when he lowered his voice and bit a few more pauses, he lost that bit of childishness.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
Jiang Zihan was a little careless.
"You, what's the matter?"
Jiang Zishuo didn't get up, he fell on the ground and said in a low voice.
"I do not know."
He raised his head, didn't use honorifics, didn't have those etiquettes, and looked straight at the past. He was now facing Jiang Zihan as a younger brother. His eyes were clear and calm, but they didn't have the lifelessness of those ministers, with the vigor of a young man.
He said this to Jiang Zihan.
"Brother Huang, what do you want? All my ministers will bring it for you."
Jiang Zihan raised his eyes and suddenly smiled.
"I see, you can go back."
Even if he didn't like Jiang Zishuo, they were still brothers with the same father and mother.
Jiang Zishuo sensed Jiang Zihan's anxiety. He didn't know what Jiang Zihan was anxious about, but he didn't put on an air of righteousness for the country and family like everyone else, saying that Jiang Zihan knew the truth but was tired of hearing it. Said to Jiang Zihan, what do you want, I will get it for you.
Jiang Zihan was relieved all of a sudden, and walked out of that restless state, the heart-burning anxiety was gone.
It is also because he is bewildered and has done so many stupid things. The most important thing now is to absorb those different voices, implement his policies to the end, and make himself stronger. Going to the frontier blindly like this will only consume him power.
Besides, he has already gained the upper hand in terms of status. Su Lingran is a minister after all, and even if the king is weak sometimes, the king is always in front of the minister, which is the priority.
Besides, Jiang Zihan's eyes are bright, he is not a king who is so weak that he has to rely on his courtiers to survive.
He has to be patient, it should be his, and it will always be his.
Jiang Zihan didn't see Lingzhi's complicated and worried eyes behind him. Lingzhi stayed by Jiang Zihan's side day and night, and understood what Jiang Zihan wanted. Jiang Zihan didn't care about being noticed, it was too obvious.
Lingzhi was very surprised when she first noticed it. She had seen a lot of things between this man. This trend was once prevalent in Shangjing, and the late emperor had followed suit for a few times. What surprised her was that Jiang Zihan seemed to really like him. a man.
No, it's not as simple as liking, his feelings are stronger.
After being surprised, there is worry. Although she doesn't have much wisdom, she also knows that if she likes someone, to get him, what she needs is not power.
She was worried that Jiang Zihan would not get what he wanted in the end.
It's not like that when you like someone.
He has always been so willful, treating everyone and everything as something that can be exchanged for money and power.
He is very smart and knows how to get what he wants, he is very good at disguising, and he never shows affection for what he wants.
Later, after pretending for a long time, he really forgot how to like someone.
"Lin Luan is five years old this year, and he will be old after the new year. He is an older child."
Today is the Spring Festival, Lin Luan is wearing a red dress, festive, and his pale face is also a bit bloody.
Sitting obediently on a chair, Zhou Yan asked Zhou Yan to comb his hair.
Lin Luan was still holding something in his hand, and Zhou Yan shrank into his sleeves guiltily as if covering his ears and stealing the bell when he saw it.
Zhou Yan knew what it was.
Suiyi gave him five pieces of candy last night, but Suiyi usually kept Lin Luan under control and refused to give him easily.
Lin Luan clung to the broken clothes and asked for more, and cunningly said that he would keep them for Zhou Yan, but the broken clothes nodded his head and said, "Aunt Zhou is disobedient, and she doesn't have a piece of candy. If anyone gives it, they will lose a piece of candy."
The little guy just walked away slowly.
Now [-]% are afraid that Zhou Yan will ask him for candy, Zhou Yan can't help laughing,
What a greedy little ghost.
According to Sui Yi, I got up last night and quietly licked a piece, and I still hold the rest in my hand today.
Lin Luan thought he was hiding well, so he pulled down his sleeve seriously, seeing that Zhou Yan's hand was empty, he laughed, and stretched out his hand to reach Zhou Yan.
Waiting for Zhou Yan to hug him before he is willing to settle down.
Lin Luan just held on for a whole day, and when it was time to go to bed at night, his hands were empty. Zhou Yan guessed that he had finished eating, and he wanted to sleep with Sui Yi, but he would not leave until he was sticky with Zhou Yan for a while at night.
In the end, he wrapped around Zhou Yan and kissed him on the face, and then he took Sui Yi's hand and walked away step by step.
Zhou Yan was also about to go to bed. She felt a little sick when she lay down. She reached out and touched under the pillow, and found a few pieces of candy. teeth marks.
