"It's not that I won't help you!"
In the guard room outside the imperial city, Huaiyuan Hou Changsen looked at Li Jinglong with a bruised nose and face, and said hesitantly, "The emperor is asleep at this time, and I am arguing about the emperor's sin..."
"My nephew knows!" Li Jinglong said quickly, "If the emperor is angry, my nephew will recognize it no matter what!"
In terms of seniority, it was not wrong for Li Jinglong to call himself a nephew in front of the Chang brothers. But now that he was talking about nephews one after another, Chang Sen felt that something was not quite right.
After sitting and thinking for a long time, Chang Sen continued, "That's all, you are a relative of the emperor. No matter how angry the emperor is, he can't kill you. But the palace has been locked up, there are no such rules!"
"Third uncle!" Li Jinglong knelt down with a plop, bursting into tears, "To tell you the truth, this is a critical moment of life and death. I have no choice but to beg you shamelessly and come to cause trouble for you."
As he spoke, he cried sadly, "If you can't see the emperor tonight, you won't be able to see your nephew tomorrow!"
Seeing him crying so sadly, Chang Sen felt unhappy and had goosebumps all over his body.
"His Royal Highness's oral instructions have been passed on!" Chang Sen whispered, "I can't help you with other ordinary things. But now... you are not allowed to enter the palace! I can't
For your sake, will you come against me, Your Highness?"
"You uncles and nephews, everything is easy to talk about. Your Highness will not care about anything to you!" Li Jinglong continued, "Can you just take pity on me and give me a way?" He took it out of his arms.
He came out with a small package and said, "Nephew, you know what I am like. I have treated you respectfully over the years!"
"Even if you don't look at my nephew's face, you should look at my dead father's face. Don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face!"
"If your father knew your current behavior, he would have put you on the wall to feed flies!"
Chang Sen cursed in his heart, and his eyes fell on the small package in Li Jinglong's hand. When the other party opened it, he couldn't look away anymore.
In the palm of Li Jinglong's hand, there were a lot of colorful gems, which were all brilliant. They were full of cat-eye-sized gems of various colors, blue, green and yellow.
"This is..." Chang Sen asked in surprise.
"This is a good thing!" Li Jinglong whispered, "Back then, the late King Ninghe..."
"Your father-in-law!" Chang Sen interrupted him.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Li Jinglong continued, "My father-in-law is strong in the palace in Dadu. It is said that this box of gems is not from the Central Plains, but a tribute from overseas thousands of miles away. Generations of Tatar emperors couldn't put it down and even slept with them.
Put it next to the pillow!"
"Ordinary things are not enough to express my nephew's sincerity..."
"Why are you doing these things? Isn't this bad for me? Oh, I dare you to think that someone like me is that kind of person? The first imperial city is of great importance. How could I make things convenient for you and be disobedient because of these external things?
Emperor's grandson? Put it away, or I'll have you kicked out!"
"Uncle, uncle!" Li Jinglong took a few steps forward, "Looking at what you said, you are really selfless. We are all family members. Isn't it natural for a nephew to give gifts to his uncle?"
"Even if you don't help me with this matter, I will still have other things that I need you to take care of in the future. Knowing that you are warm-hearted, you will definitely help me. But in this world, no one asks for help with nothing. When the time comes, I can't let you owe me anything
If you accept someone else’s favor, you have to make up for it yourself, right?”
"If these things are left for you, you will still use them on me sooner or later, right?"
"Besides, in fact, this can be considered a complete return to Zhao!"
Chang Sen was slightly interested, "How to say?"
"It is said that my father-in-law and your father-in-law invaded the palace at the same time, and they both fell in love with this box of gems. But they became brothers. Your father-in-law was so noble and upright that he didn't care about this treasure at all. All the goods were given to my father-in-law."
"As the saying goes, tit for tat... No, good intentions will be rewarded!"
"Now that my nephew has returned this gem, he will not only return it intact to Zhao, but also continue his father's relationship, right?"
"This guy has such a mouth, he can talk about life and death. He went to see the emperor, and he probably escaped this disaster!"
Chang Sen thought about it in his mind and looked at the gems again. His eyes moved, but he couldn't make up his mind.
"Oh, my dear third uncle!" Li Jinglong directly put the gem into the other person's hand and whispered, "As the saying goes, if you help others and take care of others, there is nothing to worry about between our relatives. This nephew is Even though it’s unreasonable, you haven’t harmed anyone in your life?”
"Look, look, what do I want from you?" Chang Sen quietly pulled the things into his sleeves and said seriously, "It's really my responsibility and I can't help you!" After saying that, he paused and said, "Hey. , we are all relatives, I can’t do anything too great!”
"Who asked you to call me Third Uncle? You can't let me call you Third Uncle in vain. I also want to be somewhat like Third Uncle."
"Let's do this. You wait outside the palace gate, and I'll send someone to inform Mr. Pu. Whether the old man sees you or not, it depends on God's will!"
Li Jinglong was overjoyed and thanked him, "Uncle, it's really a blessing to my nephew!"
~~~~
Li Jinglong was taken to wait at the palace gate.
Chang Sen held the gem with two fingers and looked at it under the light. After a few glances, his eyes were dazzled.
At this time, Chang Sheng, the founding father of the country, came in from behind and came over.
"Good stuff!" Chang Sheng said.
"That's right! How can Prince Ninghe's family have a bad financial background?" Chang Sen said with a smile.
Chang Sheng said with some ridicule, "Old Uncle Deng's uncle is also unlucky. His sons didn't even squander the little money he saved, but Li Jinglong is worried about him. Everyone in the capital knows that Li Jinglong's mother-in-law , as long as you return to your parents’ home, nothing good will happen!”
Chang Sen put the gems away, "Hey, who caused the decline of the Deng family? Old Uncle Deng died early. The eldest son of his family first hooked up with Hu Weiyong, and later had a relationship with Li Shanchang. He can keep a title and mansion, it's all The emperor’s grace is so great.”
"Now, in his family, a promising uncle like Li Jinglong is taking care of him. If he doesn't use his family's funds to support him, Nuoda's family business will fail sooner or later!"
Chang Sheng sat down and crossed his legs, "I will send a lot of them to His Highness in a while. We can't accept these things!"
"Of course my brother knows!" Chang Sen smiled and put it away, "It's a small thing to help him Li Jinglong, but a big thing to collect his things. Besides, with His Highness here, what good things can't be found in our house?"
"Money is something external to the body. If you don't bring it with you in life, you won't take it with you in death!" Chang Sheng seemed to sigh, "I hope that in my lifetime, I can go out to lead troops and revive the achievements of my fathers!"
After the words fell, the two brothers suddenly felt a little melancholy.
In fact, they also knew that it would be impossible for them to go out and lead troops.
Don't look at it, they are in charge of the imperial guards and most of the garrison in the capital.
But their identities determine that it is impossible for them to be like Chang Yuchun in this life.
Because they are relatives.
