Chapter 104 Abnormal
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell into deathly silence. Young Master Zhang's face turned pale and red, and even Minister Zhang's face turned red.
On the one hand, she felt ashamed, and on the other hand, she was angry at her own rebellious son.
He didn't care about his loss of composure, raised his eyebrows, kicked Master Zhang to the ground, and cursed: "Beast! You...you bastard..."
Of course his hands were not idle either. He stepped forward and slapped Master Zhang in the face several times. The force was so strong that the corner of Master Zhang's mouth started bleeding on the spot.
Seeing this scene, Ji Zheng felt secretly happy, and his hand at his side secretly pinched Ji Hean's hand.
"Dad, I was wrong, I was really wrong... Lord Ji, I am not a human being, I deserve to die, I'm sorry..." With tear marks all over his swollen face, Master Zhang cried and apologized.
"I've always told you that you should be careful with your words and actions and not act recklessly, but you turned a deaf ear to my words." Minister Zhang was so angry that his beard trembled violently, and he stared at Master Zhang with wide eyes: "It's only been a few days since I paid you any attention, and now you've done something that not only ruined your reputation, but also affected the reputation of your family. Can you live up to our ancestors?"
Master Zhang cried until his eyes and nose were covered with tears. "Dad, I was wrong. I won't do it again. I promise I will turn over a new leaf in the future."
Seeing that the time was almost up, Ji Zheng stepped forward and pretended to persuade him: "Minister Zhang, don't be too excited. Young Master Zhang is still young and it is inevitable that he will make some mistakes. Just give him a little lesson. If you beat him again, he will be broken."
Yuan Lang and Minister Chen beside him also stepped forward to persuade him.
Unfortunately, when Zhang Shangshu heard Ji Zheng's words, he only became angrier and more ashamed. After all, there is a saying that goes, "If a son is not well educated, it is the fault of his father."
Although he was still very angry, he was in someone else's house after all. Zhang Shangshu glared at the man kneeling on the ground, then turned around with a guilty look and said to Ji Zheng: "My family is in misfortune, and I really feel guilty towards Master Ji."
"Lord Zhang, you're too serious. It's inevitable for young people to make mistakes. They just need to correct them in the future." Ji Zheng replied quickly.
Minister Zhang felt complicated.
It was getting late and everyone had finished their work, so they said goodbye to Ji Zheng one after another.
Ji Zheng personally saw them out the door, watched their carriage disappear into the night, turned back into the house, looked at the pile of gifts they brought, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
No wonder everyone wants to climb up and be favored by the emperor.
...
The second day's grand court meeting.
This grand court meeting was mainly to discuss matters concerning this year's autumn hunt. Ji Zheng was the same as usual, seemingly listening attentively, but in fact his mind was elsewhere.
Mainly, there is nothing important. So far this year, everything has been going smoothly everywhere. There have been no major disasters or wars.
Every grand court meeting was always about trivial matters. Even if there were some slightly important matters, it was not Ji Zheng's turn to take care of them.
Just as the court meeting was about to end and the ministers were about to kowtow to thank the emperor, Emperor Ren waved his hand to the eunuch beside him.
The eunuch understood and carefully took out a bright yellow imperial edict from a rectangular box held by a young eunuch next to him.
"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: I have observed that the civil unrest has been frequent in recent days, all because of the reckless behavior of the ministers and their families... I hereby order you to restrain your family members and make them abide by the laws of the country, and not to rely on the power of your fathers and brothers to act tyrannically. If anyone disobeys, I will punish them severely according to the law..."
The eunuch's treacherous voice spread throughout the entire hall and fell into the ears of every minister, especially the prime minister, Zhang Shangshu and Chen Shilang, whose faces changed again and again.
Of course Ji Zheng was also somewhat surprised. He wondered whether Emperor Ren's behavior at this moment was a coincidence or intentional.
But no matter what, it didn't do him any harm, so he stopped thinking about it.
After entering autumn, the weather became colder day by day, and the leaves on the trees in the yard gradually turned yellow.
Silver charcoal was burning in the house. Ji Hean was lying comfortably on the soft couch next to the charcoal, holding a storybook in his hand.
I absentmindedly flipped through a few pages of the book, then stood up and glanced at the sky outside. It was grey and gloomy, and it was about to get dark, but Ji Zheng hadn't come back yet.
His brows were slightly furrowed, and he felt a little depressed.
During this period, Ji Zheng always came back very late. When asked about it, he replied that he was busy with official duties recently.
But today I learned from Lin Yu that Ji Zheng left as soon as his shift was over every day and his official duties were not busy.
So Ji Zheng has been lying to him all this time, why?
A feeling of depression suddenly arose in my heart, and I felt extremely uncomfortable. After saying goodbye to Lin Yu and coming back, I couldn't stop thinking about random things.
Thinking of the stories in the novels, I couldn't help biting my lip. Could it be that Ji Zheng...
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Ji Hean shook his head violently again. Apart from coming back a little later, Ji Zheng treated him the same as before. There was nothing unusual.
No, it's abnormal. Ji Zheng hasn't done that kind of thing with me these past few days... He even started to sleep with clothes on...
Why? Frowning and biting his lips, Ji Hean lowered his head and thought about something.
On the other side, Ji Zheng, who had just got off the horse, was so painful in his butt that his face was wrinkled.
"That's all for today. I have to go home." Ji Zhengchong said to Xiao Ming and threw the reins in his hand to the servant waiting beside him.
Xiao Ming nodded. "Riding a horse is no problem. You just need to practice archery next."
"Okay." Ji Zheng replied.
These past few days, he would come to the camp to practice horse riding and archery during his free time, in preparation for the autumn hunt next month. Of course, it was not just the autumn hunt, he also wanted to learn enough to teach Ji and An.
He didn't want Ji Zhongzi or Lin Yu to steal the limelight.
As for why he didn't tell Ji Hean that he was learning horse riding, it was naturally because of his vanity.
He is like a superman in the heart of his baby. It would be so embarrassing for him if Ji Hean found out that he couldn't ride a horse.
When I got home, it was already completely dark.
Ji Zheng first washed and changed his clothes casually, then went to the room to find Ji Hean.
"Baby, what's wrong?" As soon as he entered the room, he saw Ji Hean with his head down, obviously in a bad mood. Ji Zheng stepped forward and lifted his face up, "Your face is wrinkled like an old man."
Seeing the smile on Ji Zheng's face, Ji Hean felt sad. He straightened his upper body, hugged Ji Zheng's neck with both hands, and asked gloomily, "Why did you come back so late?"
"I..." Before he finished speaking, Ji Hean said, "Lin Yu told me that you are not busy at all with official duties."
Ji Zheng: "..." What should I do if I'm caught lying? Waiting online, it's urgent.
Seeing that Ji Zheng didn't say anything, Ji Hean's eyes were sore, "Why did you lie to me?"
All the words he spoke were tinged with tears.
