Si Maozhai.

Chen Leng stood beside the iron rack and pointed at Cha Ye’s barbecue. In the distance, the emperor was considering the knowledge of Chen Ji and Shen Ning. The two children answered questions without any timidity, and their answers were often very strange. At this age, they thought about many questions and were simple.

Han Huanzhi brought Fang Shiyi in from outside. After more than a month, it was almost the beginning of autumn. The news brought back from the northern border appeared in such an atmosphere, which seemed a bit out of place.

So after seeing this scene, Han Huanzhi regretted entering the palace today. He should first ask what the situation is. Today's atmosphere should not bring any bad news. For Your Majesty, the news of Li Changze's death cannot be considered good news.

But the emperor seemed calm, as if Li Changze's affairs had faded. In fact, thinking about it, the emperor's sadness was all handed over to the fake Li Changze when he died. The sadness afterwards was only Li Changze's pitifulness and hatefulness.

There was no need for Han Huanzhi to say anything. The emperor knew that the matter had been done when he saw him bringing Fang Shiyi over.

Prince Li Changye, who was standing aside, had a clear change in expression when he saw Han Huanzhi and Fang Shiyi. Of course, he also knew what Fang Shiyi came back meant.

"Greetings to Your Majesty, to the Queen, to the Crown Prince."

Han Huanzhi and Fang Shiyi leaned over and bowed down.

The emperor said, "Get up, go and wash your hands first. You two are lucky. Chef Shen will show off your hands today. You will have two glasses of wine with me later."

Han Huanzhi and Fang Shiyi quickly stood up and washed their hands under the guidance of the eunuch.

"Chang Ye."

The emperor looked at the prince and waved to him.

Li Changye hurried over and leaned over and said, "Father."

The emperor pointed to himself and said, "Sit down."

Li Changze sat down in front of the emperor and asked, "What is the matter for the father?"

The emperor nodded but said immediately. After thinking for a while, he said, "I have never wanted you to feel the cruelty and indifference that should not be found in family affection. However, in the royal family, some things need to be cared more than ordinary people."

Only then did Li Changye realize that his father wanted to tell him about his elder brother Li Changze.

He also knew that as long as Li Changze did not take that step, his father would not have the idea of ​​killing no matter what. No matter who it was, whether he was his elder brother or whether he was from the royal family, he would have to be punished even if he took that step.

This is unquestionable. As long as it happens, no matter whether it is the prince or the prince or anything, as long as the blood of the Li family is shed in her body, she must die.

"My son understands."

Li Changye lowered his head and said, "I didn't blame my father. If I had asked my son to do this, I would do this. This is the bottom line of the Li family. Whoever crosses it will have to pay the price."

The emperor nodded, and he looked at Chen Leng. Li Changye followed the emperor's gaze and looked at Chen Leng. At that moment, his originally gloomy mood improved a lot.

He lost his eldest brother Li Changze, but he still has his second brother Chen Leng. To count it, Chen Leng is his second brother.

"Go."

The emperor smiled and said, "Go and learn how to cook with him. If the taste of the people in the imperial kitchen does not suit the satisfaction of the taste, you can scold them. If they are not convinced, you can go up and cook a few dishes yourself to let them know what omnipotence means."

Li Changye stood up and smiled and said, "My son follows the order, and Mr. Go and learn."

He turned around and ran to Chen Leng. In fact, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved before, but he was the prince and he had to stand beside the emperor. If the emperor didn't speak, he wouldn't dare to leave his position casually.

At this time, he ran towards Chen Leng like a cheerful little wild horse. The emperor sighed slightly as he looked at the scene, thinking that he was still Chen Leng.

"Does he look like he ran towards Nagasawa when he was a child?"

He asked the queen.

The queen didn't know what to say for a moment.

The emperor sighed: "Fortunately, it's cold."

The queen then nodded: "Fortunately, it's cold."

The two looked at each other and then smiled at the same time.

If it weren't for the coldness, Li Changye wouldn't be able to let go of Li Changze's death so quickly. He is a person who values ​​family affection. In fact, people who value family affection often have a bad aspect.

That is in front of family affection, no matter whether it is right or wrong, no matter whether it is black or white.

Fortunately, Li Changye is not as paranoid as Li Changze.

"I have nothing to worry about when they support each other in the future."

The emperor smiled and said, "The people I care about in this world are good, and I am happy."

The queen originally wanted to say something, but she had really kept some things in her heart for a long time, but she didn't dare to say them. She was afraid that once she said it, there would be a crack in the relationship between her and His Majesty, which was the thing she most reluctant to see.

However, if you don’t say it, it’s just a deception, although she herself is not very sure.

"I hope this will be the case in the future."

The emperor stood up and said, "The breeze is not dry, let's go and find a kite. I want to take these two little guys to fly kites."

He turned around and looked at Concubine Yi who had been standing carefully aside and said, "Come together."

Concubine Yi suddenly became happy and her eyes widened.

Cha Ye could see that Li Changye actually had something to say to Chen Leng, but because she was here, it was difficult to say it. So she smiled and said to Chen Leng: "You don't need to give me any more advice. I don't think there is enough charcoal, and the dishes should be a little too. Go and get it for me. Don't you want to eat the sheep's waist? You haven't brought it yet."

Li Changye asked, "Is that thing delicious?"

Chen Leng said: "Put it aside whether it tastes delicious or not. Your Highness is still young, and you will know in the future."

Master Cha wished he could kick Chen Leng away with one kick.

"I'll help you get it."

Li Changye did say something and followed Chen Leng.

The two of them walked forward, and Chen Leng could see that the prince had something to say, so he asked, "Don't hold it in, what do you want to say?"

Li Changye let out a long breath and stopped. He looked at Chen Leng and said seriously: "Can you help me with the Gyeonggi-do business?"

Chen Leng was stunned: "What's going on in Gyeonggi Province?"

After a moment, Chen Leng reacted and asked again: "Why?"

"Because I don't want my father to be accused of being accused of, and I want to do everything I can. In the future, I just want to be an emperor with a perfect reputation. But I can't let my father do all the things, so I thought of a way, and you can help me speak to my father."

Chen Leng asked: "First talk about what your highness has thought of?"

“Inspection.”

Li Changye said: "Before the Northern Expedition, I wanted to ask my father to patrol Gyeonggi Province on behalf of my father, and there will always be articles."

Chen Leng shook his head and said, "No."

Li Changye's face changed: "Why can't it?"

"Because your Majesty will not agree."

"That's why I beg you."

Chen Leng thought for a while and asked seriously: "Are you sure you have thought about it?"

"Think about it."

Li Changye said: "It's just a number of bad names, but not all bad things."

Chen Leng was silent for a moment and nodded and said, "No matter what you want to do, you can actually go directly to Your Majesty and tell Your Majesty that your Majesty is not only a monarch and minister, but also a father and son. There is nothing in this world that is closer than a father and son. Just tell Your Majesty directly that if Your Majesty agrees, Your Majesty will feel that you can really stand alone. If Your Majesty does not agree, don't force it."

Li Changye said: "But I know, my father will definitely not agree."

"You think, and Your Majesty, are two different things."

Chen sneered and said, "I'll talk first. If you don't try it, you don't think it's OK. That's not OK. You have to take responsibility, but this is part of your responsibility. If you don't even dare to try this part, how can you get another part behind?"

Li Changye nodded: "Okay, then I'll talk to my father now."

He took a deep breath, then waved his fists, turned around and ran away. Chen Leng looked at Li Changye's back and said to himself: "Have you agreed to help me move things?"

Gyeonggi-do.

Shicheng.

Geng Yuan entered the door from outside and looked at Xue Huayi sitting in the study in a daze. He didn't know whether to say it or not. The adults looked much haggard and much older than before.

"When did you come back?"

Xue Huayi suddenly saw Geng Yuan, but she didn't know when Geng Yuan entered the door. With his strength, he realized it only after everyone entered the study. He could imagine how serious he was in the moment.

"Don't be bad news."

Xue Huayi smiled and deliberately pretended to be relaxed.

"Sir, there is no worse news."

Geng Yuan took a few steps forward and looked at Xue Huayi and said, "Sir, let's find a way to leave as soon as possible. I just received news that Fang Shiyi had returned to Beijing. No one knew where he had gone before. However, when he left Chang'an, General Meng Chang'an was ordered to lead the Ministry of War officials to the northern border to conduct on-site investigation. It must be related to Li Changze. Fang Shiyi came back, which means that Li Changze was dead."

Xue Huayi nodded: "It's really not as bad as the news of the fake Li Changze's death."

He did not say anything against him. The court would not announce it if Li Changze died, and His Majesty would not admit it, because the fake Li Changze had already been buried with the name of Li Changze. This is something that all the people in the world in Daning know.

At that moment, Xue Huayi had actually lost everything.

He should have left, but he knew that once he left, he was the worst choice.

"I know you want to persuade me to leave, but Geng Yuan, have you ever thought about it? I left and ran away. Your Majesty has a reason to kill me. If I don't leave, I don't do anything and just want to continue to be a good official. Your Majesty has no reason to kill me. There is no reason to kill so many officials in Gyeonggi Province, it's okay to kill me only. If you kill so many people, Your Majesty dares not."

After hearing Xue Huayi's words, Geng Yuan shook his head and said, "But there is no hope anymore. What can I do if I don't leave?"

"If there is no other hope, I will continue to be a good official?"

Xue Huayi smiled bitterly and said, "If Your Majesty doesn't do anything, I can continue to do more, otherwise what else can I do?"

At this moment, someone came over outside the door, who was the servant of his mansion. He stood at the door and said carefully: "Sir, Xue Zhen is back."
