Chapter 108 The General is Humiliated (11)
11
Ah this...
Yuwen Shu didn’t say that he was “the most majestic goshawk on the grassland”!
Said it, but not completely.
Yuwen Shu was sitting on the footstool, and was about the same height as Zhu Qingchen who was sitting on the small couch.
Zhu Qingchen looked sternly at Yuwen Shu.
Yuwen Shu looked innocent. That's right, he was indeed...
The next second, Zhu Qingchen took out a bamboo whistle and blew it "toot toot toot".
Zhu Qingchen pointed to the wooden stand opposite and said, "'The most majestic goshawk on the grassland', go over there and land immediately."
Yuwen Shu glanced at the clothes rack and said weakly, "That one can't go up."
Zhu Qingchen asked back: "Aren't you a goshawk?"
Yuwen Shu looked at him seriously: "I am, but I can't go up."
"Then you can fly out of the window, and I won't be considered as 'collaborating with the enemy'."
“I can’t fly out either.”
"Then what can you, a goshawk, do?"
"It can fly to that shelf..." Yuwen Shu pointed downwards, "to the cushion below."
You are telling lies with your eyes open! Zhu Qingchen was so angry that he hit him twice.
Yuwen Shu sat down and got beaten, and after he was finished, he obediently "flew" to the mat opposite.
Zhu Qingchen was so angry with him that he pulled the quilt over his head and fell on the bed with a "bang".
So annoying!
Yuwen Shu knew he had done something wrong, so he sat at the desk and whispered to him, "Master Zhu, you will be suffocated if you stay in the quilt all the time."
Zhu Qingchen responded sullenly: "Don't talk to me, Goshawk."
"Oh." Yuwen Shu shut up obediently.
A faint green smoke rose from the incense burner. Zhu Qingchen was extremely tired and fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed.
Yuwen Shu sat quietly beside him, picked up the scripture that Zhu Qingchen had copied yesterday, and observed it carefully.
Occasionally pick up the pen to circle and draw.
*
Zhu Qingchen slept past dinner time.
Chu Yunyang personally brought lunch over and knocked on the door: "Teacher, lunch is here."
Yuwen Shu opened the door for him and swiftly took the food box from his hand: "Thank you, he is sleeping."
Chu Yunyang always felt that something was wrong, but before he could react, Yuwen Shu closed the door.
Chu Yunyang stood in front of the door, scratched his head, turned and left.
Yuwen Shu carried the food box and walked to the bedside.
When Zhu Qingchen sleeps, he likes to wrap himself in the quilt, especially when he sleeps in an unfamiliar place.
For example, now he built a small fortress with the quilt and even hid his head inside.
Yuwen Shu knocked on the door of the small fortress: "Zhu Qingqing, get up and eat something, then go back to sleep."
While Zhu Qingchen was asleep, she secretly called him "Zhu Qingqing".
Zhu Qingqing didn't respond, so Yuwen Shu knocked on the door again: "Is Zhu Qingqing home?"
This time Zhu Qingchen moved a little, and a confused voice came from under the quilt: "What?"
"Get up and eat something before going to sleep."
"I don't want it."
"Get up and eat something, otherwise you'll be so hungry you'll feel dizzy in the afternoon."
"No."
"Hurry up, I'll mix the food for you, you prepare it and get up to eat later."
There was no sound in the quilt. Yuwen Shu sat on the edge of the bed, opened the lunch box, found an empty bowl, scooped half a bowl of glutinous rice into it, then mixed in the sweet and sour lychee flesh and stirred everything together.
Zhu Qingchen's system stopped at the head of the bed, and he watched Yuwen Shu's skillful movements with a look of despair.
How come this person is so skilled?
What did he call you "minister" just now?
Is its identity as “Chenchen’s mother” going to be taken away?
Soon, Yuwen Shu prepared the bibimbap and went to check on Zhu Qingchen's small fortress.
"Master Zhu, are you up?"
Zhu Qingchen snorted twice, but Yuwen Shu still kept calling him to eat.
Zhu Qingchen couldn't stand it anymore, he threw back the quilt, sat up from the bed and shouted: "Li Yue, you are so annoying!"
Yuwen Shu was stunned and blinked: "I'm not annoyed..."
Zhu Qingchen was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes. He stretched out his hand to the side and asked, "Where's the food?"
"Here." Yuwen Shu stuffed the small bowl into his hand and couldn't help but say, "Zhu Qingqing is begging for food. Zhu Qingqing is a little beggar."
Zhu Qingchen just held the spoon and put a mouthful of food into his mouth. When he heard him say this, he immediately opened his eyes: "You are the one who is begging for food, you are..."
After he opened his eyes and saw the person in front of him clearly, his voice immediately became softer.
Zhu Qingchen came back to his senses and whispered to himself, "It's not Li Yue."
He pursed his lips and almost shed tears.
Yuwen Shu looked at him with an innocent look on his face: "Master Zhu?"
Zhu Qingchen sniffed and looked at him seriously: "Why are you calling me to eat?"
Yu Wenshu pointed to the food box beside him and said, "Chu Yunyang, bring the food over here."
"Why don't you just wait until I wake up and eat? Why do you have to wake me up to eat?"
“It’s not good for your health.”
"What did you call me just now?"
"Blessings, my dear."
Zhu Qingchen straightened up and looked at him seriously: "Say it again."
Just as Yuwen Shu was about to speak, the villain system cleared his throat and reminded him not to reveal his identity.
Yuwen Shu paused and said, "Zhu Qingqing. Isn't Taifu Zhu called 'Zhu Qingchen'? The 'Qing' in the middle."
This excuse seems pretty good.
But Zhu Qingchen still didn't quite believe it and looked at him with some suspicion.
Yuwen Shu pointed at the rice in Zhu Qingchen's hand and said, "Master Zhu, please eat first."
Zhu Qingchen held the spoon, mashed the rice, and stuffed a big mouthful into his mouth.
But his eyes were always on Yuwen Shu.
Yuwen Shu seemed unaware and laid out the remaining food, then ate some with Zhu Qingchen.
He really isn’t…
Zhu Qingchen swallowed the food and looked at Yuwen Shu seriously: "I have a good friend."
Yuwen Shu held the chopsticks and nodded: "Yeah."
Zhu Qingchen lowered his head, trying to see his expression clearly: "His name is Li Yue."
Yuwen Shu picked up a piece of green vegetables with chopsticks and put it in the bowl: "Hmm."
"He and I grew up together. We are best friends and he always calls me 'Zhu Qingqing'."
"Um."
Yuwen Shu could not say anything other than "hmm".
Zhu Qingchen opened his mouth: "I..."
Yuwen Shu seemed to notice something and raised his head.
Zhu Qingchen paused and swallowed back what he was about to say: "I have been doing the mission for him. If I can go back, I will definitely tell him."
Yuwen Shu quickly lowered his eyes and nodded slightly: "Yeah."
He didn't react at all. Zhu Qingchen pursed his lips and put the bowl on the table: "I'm full!"
Yuwen Shu took a look and said, "You only ate two bites. How can you be full? Zhu Qing... Qing Chen, come out!"
Zhu Qingchen shrank back into the quilt in annoyance and covered his head with it. No matter how Yuwen Shu called him, he refused to come out.
There was no other way, so Yuwen Shu could only take the food and give it to him when he wanted to eat.
The little blue ball of light secretly lifted a corner of the quilt and squeezed in: "Chenchen, I'm here."
"You're here." Zhu Qingchen responded sullenly.
"Are you still angry?"
"I'm not angry, it's just... just..."
Just a little sad.
He was confused and really thought it was Li Yue.
It was Li Yue who called him "Zhu Qingqing", it was Li Yue who called him to get up and eat, and it was Li Yue who was joking with him.
It turned out not to be him.
Speaking of which, Zhu Qingchen seemed to have mistaken the villain for Li Yue several times.
He even held out hope, maybe it really was Li Yue?
As a result, after he said so much, Yuwen Shu could only say "hmm".
It's just like winking at ghosts.
The system came to Zhu Qingchen and asked, "Let me see which little friend dropped a little pearl because he missed home so much?"
Zhu Qingchen held him down and wiped his face randomly: "It's not me."
He made up his mind to keep his distance from the villains.
Otherwise, how could we always mistake him for Li Yue?
The system leaned over to him and said, "Don't be sad. I'll play cartoons for you, but not for anyone outside to see. Okay?"
Zhu Qingchen sniffed and replied aggrievedly, "Yeah."
"It's okay. You have saved up 20 health points now. You can go home soon."
"How can it be so fast?" Zhu Qingchen held his face and watched the cartoon intently, not even missing the opening theme song.
"Very quickly."
*
Zhu Qingchen was determined not to get too close to the villain.
He asked Chu Yunyang to find a meditation room for Yuwen Shu, which was remote and sparsely populated. He asked Yuwen Shu to stay at home less often and not be seen by others.
If someone else really saw him, they would say he was the personal guard Zhu Qingchen brought back from the northwest.
It's all the same anyway.
When Yuwen Shu moved away, he looked at Zhu Qingchen with grievance.
Zhu Qingchen hardened his heart, waved his hand and told him to move out quickly.
He is a principled man, and it won’t work if he is not Li Yue!
The system said: "Chenchen, you are not a scumbag at all."
After a few more days, the injuries on the deposed emperor's body were almost stabilized.
Although the palace doctors are not very familiar with treating that kind of injury, the eunuchs are familiar with it.
This is how all the eunuchs came here.
It was appropriate for the eunuchs to take care of the seriously injured deposed emperor.
Every time Chu Yunyang led his soldiers on patrol and passed by the bedroom, he would hear the deposed emperor crying out inside, and the eunuchs serving him diligently.
"Who told you not to treat us as human beings in the past? Anyway, we followed you and did a lot of things. What's that saying? Oh, you can escape the death penalty, but you can't escape the living crime."
"We have served you well, and who knows, the young master might let us go. Don't blame us for taking revenge and avenging our grievances."
"It's okay, just sprinkle some incense ash on it, as it can stop bleeding. You've picked a good place, as there's plenty of incense ash in the temple."
"Just bear with it and stop yelling. Isn't this how everyone gets here?"
The eunuchs skillfully grabbed a handful of incense ash and pressed it on his wounds.
The deposed emperor gritted his teeth and growled like a wild beast.
Anyway, it was not a fatal injury, so with the help of experienced eunuchs, it gradually recovered.
Zhu Qingchen set a date for his return.
Early that morning, the group prepared to return to Beijing.
Chu Yunyang carried weapons and coordinated the army.
Zhu Qingchen accompanied Xiao Cheng'an and sent him to the front carriage.
Xiao Chengan poked his head out and looked at him eagerly: "Teacher..."
"Got it." Zhu Qingchen sighed, "I will ride a horse and follow His Highness."
"Thank you, teacher."
Xiao Cheng'an was very clingy to him and wanted him to make the decisions on everything.
Behind His Royal Highness Prince Kang's carriage were the carriages of the accompanying officials.
Further back, there are some sinners.
The deposed emperor was helped out of his bedroom by the eunuchs and placed on a simple carriage at the back.
The deposed emperor was able to walk again, but his steps were not big. With every step, a layer of cold sweat rolled down his face. After walking a few steps, he looked like he had been fished out of the water, and even the road he walked on was wet.
Behind the carriage were several prisoner vans.
Xu Yi, Jiang Xian, the monks in the temple, and the eunuchs around the deposed emperor were all shackled and locked up inside.
Zhu Qingchen rode his horse and inspected the team from beginning to end.
When passing by the deposed emperor's carriage, Zhu Qingchen used his whip to lift the curtain of the carriage and took a look inside.
The eunuchs took credit for it, saying, "We have taken good care of him according to the young master's instructions, but he is too disobedient, so sometimes..."
When the deposed emperor saw Zhu Qingchen, he became alert, hatred flashed in his eyes, and he stared at him viciously.
Zhu Qingchen ignored him, covered his nose, looked at him with disgust, and then lowered the curtain.
He ordered the eunuchs: "Nail the doors and windows shut."
"yes."
Before the deposed emperor could react and figure out what he meant, the eunuchs sprang into action.
They tore down the carriage curtains and nailed the doors and windows of the carriage with wooden strips, thus creating a prison carriage exclusively for the deposed emperor.
The deposed emperor finally understood and pounced on Zhu Qingchen's back, crashing into the wooden board with a loud "clang". "Zhu Qingchen!"
Zhu Qingchen didn't look back, but continued walking forward.
Chu Yunyang led the soldiers forward and said, "This man is crazy. Keep a close watch on him on the road to prevent him from hurting anyone."
"yes."
Zhu Qingchen rode his horse and walked around the team. After confirming that everything was fine, he walked to the side of Prince Kang's carriage. He raised his hand and the team started moving forward.
Set off back to Beijing!
*
According to Zhu Qingchen's instructions, after returning to the capital, the Duke of Zhenguo first confirmed that there was no trouble in the capital, and then found a few storytellers, gave each of them a gold ingot, and asked them to compile the story of the deposed emperor into a storybook and spread it.
Of course, they were all afraid of getting into trouble, so they all made up stories about overseas anecdotes.
In less than half a day, an incredible story spread throughout the capital.
It is said that there is a country with a human face overseas, and the king of that country has a human face and a beast's heart.
He pretended to be righteous during the day, but at night he would tear off his human skin mask and let his cronies rob young men and women for his own pleasure.
His most capable subordinate was a rootless man and a bald man.
The bald man opened a temple to help him find candidates.
Wugen has great power and is the one who helps him hold down those people.
People love to listen to such stories and legends because they are novel and exciting.
But gradually, they discovered something was wrong.
Why is it that the more I listen to this story, the more it seems like a story about the capital?
It just so happened that the emperor also loved to go to the temple to burn incense, and it just so happened that young men and women had disappeared from time to time in the capital in recent years.
At the end of the story, the ghosts of the man and woman who were harmed for no reason jointly sent a message to the upright prince in his dream when the king was burning incense again.
The upright prince swung his sword in anger and saved the courtier who was about to be molested by the king, but the king also had his penis chopped off by the courtier and went mad.
Coincidentally, at this time, the emperor, who had gone to the royal temple to burn incense, was about to set off back.
With that hidden suspicion in mind, the people crowded into the streets, wanting to see the emperor.
Soon, the huge team slowly approached.
Zhu Qingchen rode a horse and followed the carriage of His Royal Highness Prince Kang. Before entering the city, he lifted the curtain of the carriage to allow Xiao Chengan to reveal his face.
Xiao Cheng'an knew what he meant, so he straightened his clothes, sat up straight, and tried hard to put on a serious and dignified look.
The Duke of Zhenguo, General Wei and Censor Chen were waiting outside the city gate with the officials who stayed behind in the city.
Seeing the team coming from afar, everyone was very excited and bowed: "Your Highness, welcome back to the capital."
When the people in the city heard them shouting like this, they couldn't tell for a moment whether they were shouting "Your Majesty" or "Your Highness".
Xiao Cheng'an glanced at Zhu Qingchen, cleared his throat, and said softly: "Please stand up, everyone. The king is not in the city. I'm sorry to trouble you."
"I dare not. Your Highness is too kind."
The court officials had all been reprimanded, and now they behaved neither arrogantly nor servilely, just as usual.
Xiao Chengan said: "Let's go into the city together."
"yes."
The remaining court officials stepped aside to let the emperor's carriage go in first, and then followed behind and entered the city together.
The people stretched their necks and looked over curiously.
What else did they not understand until they saw His Royal Highness Prince Kang enter the city in grand style, while the Emperor was locked up with eunuchs and monks, acting mad and even picking lice off his body to eat?
The court said that the emperor was burning incense and was stabbed by bandits.
But in fact, everyone knows that there must be something else behind this matter.
It turns out that the overseas anecdotes mentioned by the storyteller were about this emperor.
It turns out that the prince who killed the tyrant was the fifteen-year-old Prince Kang.
For a time, all the people talked about it from mouth to mouth.
Zhu Qingchen was riding on his horse, occasionally hearing a word or two, and was quite satisfied.
The system asked him, "If you want to make these things public, why not just send a government document? Why do you need to use a storyteller to tell it?" Zhu Qingchen said, "If I tell it openly, I'm afraid it won't spread widely. If I cover it up, won't the people talk more enthusiastically?"
He deliberately pretended to cover up the truth and didn't let the people know, which made the people want to know more.
The more widely the news spreads.
Zhu Qingchen turned around and looked at the deposed emperor. He had just pretended to be crazy because he didn't want people to talk about him. Now there was no way. They were all talking about him. The deposed emperor was too lazy to pretend anymore. He sat in his exclusive prison car with a pale face, like a living dead.
After returning to the palace, Zhu Qingchen asked Xiao Cheng'an to sit on the high seat, handed the two imperial edicts to the Duke of Zhenguo, and asked him to read them on his behalf.
Now the emperor has become like this, and everyone has seen it.
When King Kang ascended the throne, they had no choice but to submit to him.
After all, the lessons of Xu Yi and Jiang Xian are there.
As for the four ministers of state, whoever serves as the minister of state does not matter.
At least these four are upright in character. With them disciplining the emperor, there is no need to worry that the emperor will be as outrageous as the previous one.
Let the Ministry of Rites finalize the date for King Kang to ascend the throne, rush to make the ceremonial robes, and prepare for the coronation ceremony.
In addition, the grassland had previously requested peace talks with Daxia and had asked the Duke of Zhenguo to bring the peace documents.
The new emperor's ascension to the throne could also be accepted at the request of the grassland regent to come to the capital to pay a visit.
The matter was handed over to the British public.
After all, the Regent is in his house now.
After dealing with these matters, the court officials bowed and saluted, then retreated respectfully.
Before everyone had left, General Wei San couldn't wait to look at Zhu Qingchen and asked in a low voice: "Young Master, what did you promise me before..."
"I know." Zhu Qingchen understood.
He had promised General Wei San that he would hand over the deposed emperor to them for disposal.
"There is a secret room in the palace, which was built by the deposed emperor himself. I had him put there. I have already told you and Young Master Wei to go there anytime."
"Of course, we made some mistakes when we were trying to catch him. We accidentally cut his... vitals, but he's still alive and breathing, and his wounds have almost healed."
"No problem!" General Wei San clasped his fists and thanked him. "Thank you very much, young master. We, the Wei family, will never forget your kindness. If you can use us in the future, please let us know."
Zhu Qingchen smiled and said, "You are joking. Here is the token for you. You can enter and leave the palace at any time."
"Thank you very much." General Wei San hurriedly left, "Then I will go back to the mansion and tell my son the good news."
"Okay, take care."
Zhu Qingchen saw off several generals and turned back to Xiao Chengan's bedroom.
Xiao Cheng'an didn't want to live in the bedroom where Xiao Chengming had lived. He thought it was dirty, so he returned to his own palace.
At this time, he was lowering his head, looking carefully at the book that Zhu Qingchen assigned to him.
Xiao Chengan raised his head, patted his head, and said with a distressed look: "Teacher, when I was secretly reading books before, I thought the books were really interesting. If anyone didn't let me read, I would get angry with them, but now..."
He hates reading.
He suddenly couldn't understand.
Zhu Qingchen walked up to him and touched his head: "Then I will accompany Your Highness to watch."
*
On the other side, General Wei San rode his horse and galloped all the way home.
When he arrived at his son's yard, he almost fell off his horse.
He stood firm by holding the door, and was about to knock on it, but he clenched his fist, restrained his strength, and knocked lightly instead.
He was afraid of scaring his son.
The burly man with a dark face and a curly beard leaned against the door and called out in a gentle voice, "Yuan'er? Yuan'er?"
Wei Yuan ran out of the room, his face still pale, and he didn't even have the strength to speak. He just said softly, "Dad."
"The young master is back." General Wei San gritted his teeth and said, "The young master has also captured that evil man. The young master and father have agreed to hand him over to our family for disposal. It doesn't matter if he is killed."
Wei Yuan's expression, which had been calm all this time, suddenly showed some shock: "It doesn't matter if I die?"
"Yes, the young master and our family will help His Royal Highness Prince Kang ascend the throne. It doesn't matter if that evil man dies. It can also pave the way for His Royal Highness Prince Kang. Come on, Dad will take you to the palace. Dad promised you that I would let you kill him one by one..."
Before General Wei San could finish his words, Wei Yuan opened the gate with a creak.
As soon as General Wei San saw him, his eyes immediately turned red.
The young man, who was about ten years old, was so thin that only bones were left, with an unusual light in his eyes. He stepped over the threshold and strode out.
Wei Yuan wished he could fly to the palace right now and stab the deposed emperor twice.
General Wei San quickly grabbed him and said, "Come on, Dad will take you there on horseback."
"good."
Wei Yuan had been locked up in his room for a while, and his body had long been stiff. He climbed onto the horse unskillfully, and General Wei San made sure that he was seated properly, then led the horse and galloped forward with him.
"Let's go! Dad will take you to get revenge!"
When they arrived at the palace gate, General Wei San took out the token given to him by Zhu Qingchen, led the horse, and entered the palace with his son without any obstruction.
The servants arranged by Zhu Qingchen took them to the secret room where the deposed emperor was imprisoned.
As soon as he saw this room, Wei Yuan, who was riding on his horse, felt his blood rushing back and his whole body froze.
This is the room.
He was tricked into the palace and dragged by the eunuchs to this room.
The attendant explained, "This is a secret room built by the late emperor himself, specially used for... The young master deliberately imprisoned him here, and also wanted him to taste the bitter fruit of his own making. General Wei and Master Wei, do you want them to go in by themselves, or should I follow you..."
Wei Yuan gripped the horse's reins tightly, his nails digging into his palms, leaving white marks.
General Wei San looked at him and asked for his opinion.
Wei Yuan said in a hoarse voice: "No need, we can go in by ourselves."
"Okay, I'll be waiting outside. Call me if you need anything."
"Thank you very much."
Wei Yuan jumped off his horse, his face pale and he could barely stand.
General Wei San quickly supported him and said softly, "Xiao Yuan, how about..."
Wei Yuan held his father's hand tightly and said firmly: "I must go in."
General Wei San couldn't persuade him, so he could only help him in carefully.
When he pushed open the palace door, a stale smell hit him in the face, filling Wei Yuan's mouth and nose, making it difficult for him to breathe.
It was like a demon's claw reaching out from the darkness, reaching out from the ground and grabbing his feet tightly, making him unable to move.
The palace was dark, and General Wei San took out a tinder and lit a candle, which made it feel better.
He held the candlestick in one hand and supported his son with the other, and the two of them walked in.
The secret room built by the deposed emperor is still inside.
Wei Yuan has been in there.
It was pitch dark in there, with all kinds of disgusting torture instruments hanging on the walls, used to heighten the amusement of the deposed emperor.
It was almost like those things were used on Wei Yuan.
He held his father's hand tightly and walked through the damp and dark corridor step by step.
When they arrived at the innermost dark room, General Wei San helped him open the door with a creak.
Wei Yuan looked inside.
The deposed emperor lay on the bed as if dead, with his legs spread wide apart to avoid touching his wounds.
Returning to the room and seeing this person again, Wei Yuan suddenly heard many voices in his ears.
"Don't move."
"It is your blessing to be favored by His Majesty."
"If you dare to tell anyone, I will immediately order your father and grandfather to be executed."
Wei Yuan quickly covered his ears and shook his head vigorously, trying to drive away all the voices in his head.
His father quickly supported him: "Yuan'er? How are you? Let's go out? Anyway, we are not in a hurry..."
Hearing General Wei San's voice, the deposed emperor suddenly came to his senses and turned his head stiffly.
It's him.
The next second, Wei Yuan broke away from his father's support, rushed forward, and pulled out a dagger from his sleeve.
These days, he locked himself in the yard to sharpen the knife.
He sharpens the knife every day. Except for taking some time to eat and sleep, he spends the rest of the time sharpening the knife.
Daggers, swords, knives, spears, everything is available.
He imagined countless ways to deliver these weapons into the emperor's heart.
When it really came to this, he still felt that it would be most convenient to send it directly in.
A flash of cold light.
Wei Yuan held down the deposed emperor, and the first stab of his sword missed the target and just grazed the deposed emperor's neck.
The second knife stabbed firmly into the deposed emperor's shoulder and penetrated into the bone, and the deposed emperor howled.
The third knife went straight to his heart.
Wei Yuan came to his senses, retracted his strength, and the tip of the knife deviated slightly.
You can't kill him directly, you have to keep him alive and slowly torture him.
The deposed emperor raised his head and met Wei Yuan's murderous eyes. In an instant, he fell down and couldn't even utter the words to beg for mercy.
It's all his own fault.
When he tricked Wei Yuan into the palace, he didn't think about what would happen to Wei Yuan.
When he beat General Wei with a stick and severely injured him, he did not even think whether General Wei would die.
When he ordered the closure of the Wei Mansion, he didn't even think about how the Wei family would survive.
It was he who wanted to humiliate Wei Yuan, and it was he who wanted to send the thirty-three members of the Wei family to death.
Why should Wei Yuan care about his life or death?
Anyway, the young master said to leave it to their family to deal with.
Wei Yuan's eyes turned red without him noticing, and he pinched the deposed emperor's neck tightly: "Why? Why do you do this to me?!"
Wei Yuan shook him off like a dead dog and said coldly, "Father, help me hang him up."
*
Dusk is falling.
Zhu Qingchen accompanied Xiao Chengan to read the article for a while.
It was mainly Xiao Chengan who was watching it himself. He was eating snacks nearby and fell asleep while eating.
Xiao Chengan marked the parts he didn't understand, and asked him about them when he woke up.
Zhu Qingchen was only posthumously conferred the title of Prince's Tutor. Now it seems that being a tutor or an imperial teacher is not difficult.
As long as the emperor is obedient, that's not a problem.
In the evening, he had dinner with the emperor's students and prepared to leave the palace and go home.
Zhu Qingchen walked alone on the palace road. The palace lanterns on both sides were bright, and patrolling guards passed by occasionally, giving the palace a brand new look.
Suddenly, someone behind him called him, "Young Master!"
Zhu Qingchen turned around and saw General Wei San and a young man walking towards him quickly.
"Young Master." General Wei San walked up to him and clasped his fists towards him, "You are leaving the palace too."
"Yes." Zhu Qingchen nodded. "I just had dinner with His Highness, and His Highness wants to study late into the night. I can't stand it any longer, so I'm going back."
General Wei San turned around and introduced his son to him: "This is my son, Wei Yuan."
"This is the young master. He just asked me what kind of person the young master is."
"Yes." Zhu Qingchen nodded slightly, "Young Master Wei."
When Wei Yuan was taking revenge on the deposed emperor in the dark room, he was ruthless and ruthless, poking holes everywhere.
When he got outside, he felt a little reserved in front of Zhu Qingchen.
He rubbed his palms to cover the blood stains on his hands, then bowed to Zhu Qingchen and said, "Young Master."
Wei Yuan quietly looked up at him, then quickly lowered his head again.
He had never met Zhu Qingchen, but he had heard from his father that he was the one who planned this matter and the one who personally captured the deposed emperor and handed him over to them. So he subconsciously thought that he was a ruthless character.
Both my father and grandfather praised him highly.
At least he should look like his father.
Unexpectedly, he looked like a scholar.
He is fair-skinned, amiable, and looks like someone who could be knocked down with one punch.
Some of it was beyond Wei Yuan's imagination.
Zhu Qingchen smiled at him and asked casually, "Young Master Wei just came over there? How was it? Did you feel relieved?"
Wei Yuan was so angry that he didn't remember what he had done. When Zhu Qingchen asked him about it, his face turned red.
General Wei San smiled and said, "I'm still not satisfied. I just said I'd come again tomorrow."
Zhu Qingchen smiled and said, "All right."
Anyway, the deposed emperor is considered a dead man in everyone's eyes.
He is not qualified to hold a funeral ceremony, let alone be buried in a mausoleum. It should be handed over to the Wei family to handle. They can do whatever they want, just make sure they don't let him escape.
"Thank you, young master." General Wei San extended his hand. "It just so happens that we are about to leave the palace. I will see you off, young master."
"Okay, thank you."
Zhu Qingchen and General Wei San walked in front, and Wei Yuan, as a junior, followed obediently behind.
General Wei San laughed as he talked about the rebellion: "I really couldn't sleep for several nights. I was just so excited. I had never been so excited in a war before."
"All I could think about was, whoever made life difficult for my family, I would make life difficult for them. After I captured the city gate, I didn't dare to close my eyes for a moment. I just moved a chair and stood guard at the city gate."
"Later, the Duke of Zhenguo led his troops over. I was so sleepy that I couldn't see clearly from a distance. I thought it was the dog emperor's reinforcements. I was so scared that I immediately rushed to the city wall to fight."
"It turned out to be him."
"It wasn't until the daytime when the young master came back with his men that I was finally able to put my mind at ease. These past few days, I had dreams of either me killing someone or being killed. It was too scary."
Zhu Qingchen glanced sideways and listened to him with a smile: "General, you love your son dearly. Even if you have to do it a thousand times, you will definitely do it this way."
General Wei San smiled and scratched his head in a naive manner.
Zhu Qingchen turned around and asked Wei Yuan casually, "Young Master, do you plan to study literature or martial arts?"
General Wei San smiled and said, "He likes reading, which is different from a rough guy like me."
"Yes." Zhu Qingchen nodded slightly and asked, "What books have you read? Can you write articles?"
Wei Yuan replied: "I studied in a college before, I have read all the books in the college, and I can write articles."
"Hmm..." Zhu Qingchen thought for a moment, "His Royal Highness Prince Kang is about to ascend the throne, but he has never had a teacher or a reading companion before, and he has never read many articles. I want to find a reading companion for His Royal Highness."
"But your highness is a little old. He will be fifteen this year. If we make a big show of selecting one from the families of officials and officials, I am afraid it will cause criticism. Do you think you are willing?"
Wei Yuan raised his head and looked at Zhu Qingchen seriously, hesitating: "Young Master, I..."
"Don't worry, His Royal Highness Prince Kang is the kindest person, unlike that emperor. If you are willing, when you return home, write two articles on the topics of 'Repaying Evil with Virtue' and 'The Hardships of the People's Livelihood', and give them to me at any time."
Zhu Qingchen wanted to choose two study companions for Xiao Chengan, one civil and one military.
He had already thought of the one for the martial arts, but he was still short of one for the literary one. Wei Yuan happened to come, so he thought of asking him.
Although there is nothing wrong with revenge, it is not good to always indulge in revenge. He wants to find something for Wei Yuan to do.
The emperor's study companion was no ordinary person.
Although he is just a study companion, if he gets along well with the emperor, he won't have to worry about anything in the future.
General Wei San's reaction was even quicker than Wei Yuan's. He looked at his son and couldn't help but push his arm.
Hurry, hurry, agree to it.
Wei Yuan made up his mind and finally bowed: "Yes, thank you, young master."
Zhu Qingchen nodded with satisfaction: "Then it's settled. Just finish the work at hand, calm down, and write it to me. Don't worry."
"yes."
Zhu Qingchen got on the carriage, and the Wei family father and son felt a little touched as they watched him leave.
"Let's go." As the carriage passed through the street, General Wei San said to his son, "Let's go back and have dinner. Your grandfather must be waiting for us at home."
"Okay." Wei Yuan nodded and went home with his father.
The father and son had just walked a short distance when Wei Yuan suddenly remembered something: "Dad, the horse! The horse hasn't been brought out yet!"
"Oh oh!" General Wei San suddenly realized and hurried back to get the horse.

When Zhu Qingchen returned to the mansion in a carriage, Yuwen Shu leaned against his door with his arms folded, waiting for him to come back.
——A majestic steppe goshawk is waiting for someone.
Zhu Qingchen suddenly thought of this sentence, and his deliberately stern expression suddenly turned into a smile.
When Yuwen Shu saw him coming back, he said to him in a wronged tone, "Taifu Zhu is so cruel. He returned to the capital and threw me back to my mansion without caring about me. He has been in the palace for such a long time, and he only came back after dark."
Zhu Qingchen said confidently: "This Grand Master is busy with official duties."
Yuwen Shu added: "Master Zhu is not at home, so they won't give me any food."
"Nonsense." Zhu Qingchen said, "How is it possible?"
He specifically instructed his personal guards to take good care of Yuwen Shu. How could they not give him food?
Zhu Qingchen pushed the door open and went back to his room, with Yuwen Shu following behind him.
Zhu Qingchen took off the outer garment he was wearing, shook off the dust, threw it on the clothesline, then walked to the basin and washed his hands.
He casually asked Yuwen Shu: "I have approved the memorial for peace talks on the grassland. You can bring people here when His Royal Highness Prince Kang ascends the throne. Let's see, do you want to rush back to the grassland as fast as possible, or let them come by themselves and then you will meet them in the capital?"
Yuwen Shu said: "I'll have someone come over. I'll stay at the Duke of Ying's mansion for the time being."
"That's fine." Zhu Qingchen warned, "But don't let others find out, otherwise I will be 'colluding with the enemy', which will be embarrassing."
"knew."
Yuwen Shu maintained a high degree of control over the grassland.
Otherwise, if he had been running away alone for so long, there would have been a coup on the grassland long ago.
Yuwen Shu asked again: "Master Zhu, have you had your dinner yet? Would you like to eat more?"
"No, I'm not hungry." Zhu Qingchen shook his head, wrung out the towel, and wiped his ears again, "Has the Regent used it?"
"not yet."
Yuwen Shu was hinting at him.
But Zhu Qingchen didn't seem to want to take the hint: "Then go and use some. The kitchen is on the right when you exit the house."
Yuwen Shu did not answer. He folded his hands, tilted his head and looked at his back.
Zhu Qingchen dropped the towel, turned around, and looked at him puzzledly: "What's wrong?"
Yuwen Shu said, "I don't know if it's my illusion, but I always feel that Master Zhu's attitude towards me seems to have become a little colder since I came back from the temple."
"It's not your illusion." Zhu Qingchen looked back fearlessly, "That's because I figured it out. We are essentially colleagues who have known each other for a short time. I don't know you at all. Before, I felt that you were particularly kind because you were the only one of our kind. But now I understand."
Yuwen Shu crossed his arms, walked up to him, and asked, "Am I not kind?"
Zhu Qingchen argued: "But I still think we should keep our distance."
Yuwen Shu was puzzled: "Why?"
Zhu Qingchen said seriously: "Because you are not Li Yue, because I only want to be close to Li Yue, because Li Yue is my best friend."
Yuwen Shu looked at him a little aggrieved: "Li Yue is the boss, so I can be the junior."
Zhu Qingchen was stunned for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking of. His face suddenly turned red and he reached out to push him: "Get out! Get out now!"
Yuwen Shu was a head taller than Zhu Qingchen, and a circle bigger than him, but he was pushed out by him without any ability to fight back: "Master Zhu, I can be your mistress..."
Zhu Qingchen pushed him out angrily: "Get out! I want to rest! Don't come to me again except for mission matters! You are the most annoying person in the world!"
Yuwen Shu turned around and asked with some surprise: "Where is Li Yue? Is he the favorite person of Master Zhu?"
Zhu Qingchen confidently said: "He is the second most annoying person in the world!"
Zhu Qingchen slammed the door shut, almost hitting Yuwen Shu's nose.
Zhu Qingchen was very angry. He punched the door in the room, and his small figure was reflected on the window paper.
Yuwen Shu stood in front of the door and touched his nose uncomfortably.
The villain system gave him some advice: "How about I give you another identity?"
Yuwen Shu curled his lips and said, "Change it, the top three of 'the person Zhu Qingqing hates the most' are all me, do you believe it?"
"Hmm..." The villain system looked at Zhu Qingchen's ferocious shadow and nodded, "I believe it."
On the other side, the system also said to Zhu Qingchen: "Our Chenchen is so outstanding, what's wrong with just two men? Be confident! Mommy makes the decision, you can have them all!"!
