Chapter 56: On Sejong's Three Let's Call His Father

Looking at the old man lying in the snow, Si Qi felt quite unhappy.

But no matter how hard it touched her heartstrings, she was still helpless.

I could only sigh and slowly lower the car curtain.

But just as the car curtain was about to drop, an extremely familiar figure who had only seen it twice suddenly jumped into view!

"Eh?!"

Si Qi hurriedly raised the blue satin twill curtains again, and seeing the familiar figure, he quickly walked up to Jiao Da and helped him up without saying a word.

"He, how dare he?!"

Si Qi was shocked and dumbfounded, and the wealthy slaves in Ningguo Mansion outside were also in an uproar.

"What's wrong?"

The attacker wondered: "What did you see?"

"It's Lai Shun!"

Siqi said without looking back: "He, he went over and helped that Jiao Da up!"

"What?!"

This time, Ping'er was alarmed. She shouted "Stop!" and before the carriage stopped, she anxiously stuck her head out and shouted to Lai Shun in the distance: "Brother Shun, don't be ridiculous. Then

This person was just driven out by Uncle Zhen!"

But Laishun was able to arrive in time thanks to the old woman next door to the Jiao family who sent the message.

Before he came, he thought for a long time about whether it was worth it to fight Jia Zhen for Jiao Da.

In terms of pros and cons, it's definitely not worth it.

But in the end he still couldn't overcome his conscience.

While regretting that I should not befriend the old man, I rushed over without hesitation.

Very girly~

At worst, I'll run away early to plant rubber in the south!

Because he had been struggling for a long time, when he heard Ping'er's call, he was very calm. He leaned on the ground and carried Jiao Da on his back, and responded loudly: "Uncle Zhen said that he wanted to drive him out, but he didn't say that he wanted to die.

At the gate of Ningguo Mansion!"

He glanced sideways at the wealthy slaves of Ningguo Mansion opposite who were talking a lot, and continued: "We haven't started to worship people yet. When condolences come from everywhere, I see Jiao Da lying here, but I am afraid that it will be difficult for everyone in the East Mansion to explain.

!”

With just this sentence, the noise on the other side was reduced by most, and the few masters who were rolling up their arms and sleeves, wanting to show their holiness in front of others, all retreated in disbelief.

After all, if Lai Shunshuo really happens, the most difficult thing will be the people who guard the door and welcome guests.

When I saw the other side, I turned off the fire.

By the way, he carried Jiao Da on his back and went west along the street. When he passed Ping'er's carriage, he smiled and said: "Sister Ping'er, I have to worry about it, but this old man has some friendship with me, and I have always respected him for his loyalty, so I really can't bear to give in."

He just died at the gate of Ningguo Mansion."

The application on Ping'er's face was indescribably complicated. He was worried about Laishun, but also pleased with his kindness.

Si Qi, who was huddled aside to take a peek, felt like a drum beating in his heart. He subconsciously covered his chest and looked at Lai Shun as if his eyes were about to drip.

Even though we had spent two spring nights before, I felt that Laishun had kept his promise and sincerely meant to 'pay homage', so I somewhat changed my view of him.

But from the bottom of my heart, I still regard him as a villain who takes advantage of others' danger.

But now...

This inherent impression has completely collapsed!

Especially because of Pan Youan's absconding, she hated the man the most for not taking responsibility. Now that he is complying with this righteous act, it can be said that it is exactly what he wants. How can it not make her heart agitated and her heart shaken?

When I came to Shun, I didn’t know there was such an unexpected ‘joy’.

He couldn't go back to Rongguo Mansion with Jiao Da on his back, so he went back to his home in the back alley.

First, he asked Jiao Da to lie down on his own bed in the west room, then called Shuan Zhu and ordered him to go to Fenggong Market to find a doctor.

After Shuan Zhu took the order, Lai Shun sat down on the bedside, wiping his sweat while waving his hand in front of Jiao Da's eyes. Seeing the old man turning to look at him, he was slightly relieved.

Just now on the way, no matter what Laishun said, the old man didn't respond at all, and Laishun thought something was wrong with him.

Because he knew the old man's heart, he smiled and said, "This is not your initiative to break the precept. God cannot blame you."

Jiao Dad looked at Lai Shun intently for a long time, swallowed hard again, and then said: "Your godson, I... ahem, I have confirmed it!"

This old man is really...

Lai Shun didn't bother to respond to him and just rolled his eyes at him to express disdain.

Hearing that his throat was dry, he poured a cup of hot water and placed it on the bedside table.

But I heard Jiao Da talking to himself again: "Write your birth date to me, and I will find a day to burn it to my ancestors, so that my ancestors can protect you."

"Forget it."

Laishun couldn't help but complain: "I understand your kindness, but your ancestors are not very smart."

"If it hadn't worked, how could I have carried the Duke back from the pile of dead people?"

Jiao Da rarely mentioned old things in the past, but this time he took the initiative to fall into memories: "Since I came back that time, I have been sick. Whenever I go out to fight, I always have to carry more than ten kilograms of dry food on my back. No matter how hard it is, I am tired.

I can’t bear to leave it behind.”

"Because of this, I also got the reputation of a three-legged old bird, because everyone else carries a gun on their back, but I always use my gun as a crutch, and I am hunched over like an old bird."

"Didn't you say it was a three-legged golden crow?"

Laishun complained subconsciously, but looking at the old man's appearance, he was worried that he was on his deathbed, so he comforted him and said: "What's wrong with the old man? How many of those people who laugh at you will live longer than you?"

A flash of bright color flashed on the old man's face, but then he became slumped again, shook his head with difficulty and said: "But I don't have a son, and I won't be able to survive even if I die!"

Those words again...

Laishun suggested seriously: "How about I hire two filial sons and grandsons for you to mourn your death?"

Seeing that the old man didn't respond, he added: "Don't worry, if you really have any good intentions, you won't be able to cut off your incense during the holidays."

"Haha...cough cough cough!"

Jiao Da laughed and then coughed up some bloody saliva.

Laishun pulled the pillow towel and wanted to wipe him, but Jiao Da grabbed his wrist. He saw the old man trying to support his neck and said: "You call me godfather, I can't do without your benefits here."

"嘁~"

Laishun didn't take it seriously at all. He broke away from his hand and said while wiping it: "If I were really out for profit, I wouldn't have rescued you just now!"

"Hahaha……"

Jiao Da laughed a few more times and suddenly asked: "How do you know where these four bastards came from?"

Lai Shun was asked inexplicably. Even a three-year-old child knows this. Is it necessary to ask knowingly?

But seeing that Jiao Da had been waiting for his reply, he had no choice but to say: "How else can I come here? I got it for helping Grand Ancestor conquer the world!"

"Hahaha!"

Jiao Da laughed again and said disdainfully: "What do you know?! When Taizu was in power, there was no such thing as a title in the court, let alone the four princes and eight princes!"

This is quite new.

Lai Shun asked curiously: "Then where did these four bastards come from?"

Jiao Da sneered: "Of course it was granted by Emperor Shizong in order to win over important officials in the court after he usurped the throne!"

"Usurping, usurping the throne?"

After all, Xia Taizu was also a senior time traveler who created a dynasty. He wouldn't end up in such a miserable state, right?

"Emperor Sejong is the nephew of Taizu and the eldest son of the Xu family. He has always been prestigious in the clan."

"Back then, Taizu contracted a serious illness and passed away a few days later. The prince who was supposed to succeed him was only eleven years old, so Emperor Sejong volunteered to attend to the funeral."

"The queen and the prince were completely unprepared. Unexpectedly, Sejong took advantage of the opportunity to attend the funeral and secretly colluded with the important officials in the court. Finally, on the day of Taizu's burial, he usurped the throne and proclaimed himself emperor and rewarded all the officials!"

"no……"

When Laishun heard this, he couldn't help but question: "Taizu was the founding emperor, didn't he leave a few die-hard loyalists and so on, so that his nephew could easily succeed?"

"Alas~"

Jiao Da sighed and said: "My great ancestor has always had different ideas from ordinary people. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, he just paid off. After he ascended the throne and became the emperor, he acted arbitrarily and refused to listen to advice."

"On one occasion, he even said in front of the courtiers that in the future, all officials' properties and shops would be confiscated so that everyone could become true public servants."

As he said this, Jiao Da couldn't help but complain: "I've been an official just for power, who the hell would want to be a servant?"

Laishun: "..."

He always felt that he was more arrogant, but now it seems that this senior boss is even more arrogant than him!

The public servant's argument is nothing more than the matter of clearing the land, property and shops of officials, can it be announced to the public casually?

No wonder his congregation rebelled against their relatives!

In other words, he was the founding emperor and had enough prestige to intimidate the ministers. Otherwise, he would not have been usurped after his death, but his ministers would have directly revolted.

but……

Laishun still had something he couldn't figure out, so he asked again: "How come I have never heard of such a big thing? When I asked others, they all said that the four princes and eight princes were granted the title by Taizu as a reward for his merits?

"

"hehe……"

Jiao Da sneered: "This is all thanks to those newspapers. That thing was originally created by Taizu, but unexpectedly it became a box for Emperor Sejong and the four princes and eight princes."

"The people there are confusing right and wrong every day, but those who know the truth dare not tell the truth. Over the past few decades, the world has naturally believed that Emperor Sejong was the legitimate son of Taizu, and that the four princes and eight princes were also conferred by Taizu as a reward for his merit."

this……

When I came to Shun, I didn't know what to say.

But he saw Jiao Da looking over attentively again, staring at him and saying word by word: "Thanks to the support of the Duke of the country, I was also awarded a knighthood at that time, and I also had a real vacancy of one thousand Dragon Guards."

Dragon Imperial Guard Thousand Households?

Laishun blurted out: "That seems to be a fifth-grade one, right? You, have you really been an official?!"

"No!"

Jiao Da denied it categorically, turned his head and spat out bloody spit, and said disdainfully: "I don't care about the benefits of bullying orphans and widowed mothers! At that time, I swore to heaven that I would stay in Ningguo Mansion for the rest of my life.

!”

Laishun: "..."

However, Jiao Da then said: "But I kept the title, the hereditary Cavalry Captain - I thought that although I didn't need it, I could give my son a good background, but who would have thought that my mother-in-law is a destitute!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Laishun intently and said word by word: "My adopted son can also inherit my title."
