Chapter 384: Patriarch



However, when writing the edict about Chengjue, cursive script certainly cannot be used. Gu Jue wrote in regular script today.

His regular script is also beautifully written, with dignified and rigorous characters, strong bones and awe-inspiring spirit, and every stroke reveals a majestic and magnificent momentum.

When he was writing, his temperament was calmer and more elegant than usual.

Shen Qianchen looked at him and his words with burning eyes, very intently, but in fact he didn't pay attention to the content of the book at all.

She didn't let out a breath until Gu Jue put down his pen, as if it was she who had been writing, not Gu Jue.

Gu Jue glanced at her little expression and put the pen on the white porcelain pen holder with amusement.

Perhaps he was too focused just now, when he came to his senses, Shen Qianchen suddenly felt a little sleepy. He blinked sleepily and yawned lazily, looking as cute as a kitten that had not woken up yet.

"I told you not to be naughty!" Gu Jue raised his hand and tapped her smooth forehead lightly. His movements were gentle and his tone was playful, revealing a sense of intimacy.

Shen Qianchen subconsciously covered her forehead with her hands and looked at Gu Jue innocently. She didn't say anything wrong, nor did she do anything wrong?

Gu Jue found it a little funny, so he deliberately put on a stern face and gave her a two-word hint: "Last night."

Shen Qianchen: "..."

She woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't fall asleep. She didn't want to toss and turn and disturb his sleep, so she was weaving a web. But before she had finished weaving much, Gu Jue came looking for her.

Shen Qianchen, who was caught red-handed, had no room for argument. Gu Jue pushed him back to the bed and threatened, "I have to think about how to punish you."

Shen Qianchen still clearly remembered when he said this, his voice was a little hoarse and magnetic because he had just woken up, and his eyes were shining in the moonlight, like a charming and enchanting fairy!

And she, maybe, is just a little scholar?

Shen Qianchen accidentally lost his mind and smiled unconsciously.

Gu Jue looked at the smile on her face that was as bright as a blooming flower, bent down and gently kissed the dimple on her lips, and sighed, "Squeamish."

Squeamish?! Shen Qianchen's eyes widened in disbelief. Is she squeamish? She is such an easy-going person! Gu Jue's handsome eyebrows showed a faint smile, and he said with a bit of helplessness and a bit of pampering: "I will accompany you to take a nap later... Since you are not used to sleeping, then sleep a few more times."

Shen Qianchen: "..."

Shen Qianchen was still a little confused and blinked foolishly. It was two beats late before she realized that Gu Jue was talking about her love for bed.

Love bed? Does she love bed? In her previous life, she wandered around and fought on the battlefield for more than ten years, and finally she developed the ability to fall asleep as soon as she lay down.

What about before that? Yes, she used to be delicate, unable to carry anything, unable to lift anything… and she was also bed-loving, and would not sleep well for several nights every time she moved to a new place.

Shen Qianchen's eyes flashed, then he stretched out his little finger and hooked it with hers, and said in a coquettish voice: "Then it's a deal, you accompany me to take a nap." She hooked his little finger to show that it was a deal.

Shen Qianchen's heart softened, and he couldn't help but smile even more brightly, his eyes bright.

Before Gu Jue could respond, he heard the little girl anxiously urging him, "Have you finished writing?"

Gu Jue laughed: "Not yet."

Thus, under Shen Qianchen's supervision, the two orders were completed efficiently.

On that day, the two imperial edicts issued by Gu Jue as the heir to the throne were sent out from the palace one after another, attracting many curious eyes in the capital.

They were sent to the Yongding Marquis' Mansion together, and Chu Yunyi was ordered to inherit the title of Marquis.

Another group was sent to the residence of the Marquis of Zhongyong. In this team that went to the Yun family, in addition to the eunuchs, Yun Zhan also went with them.

"His Royal Highness Prince Chen's decree has arrived!"

This one sentence pried open the door of the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion, and also caused a commotion in the entire mansion.

Earl Zhongyong, Crown Prince Yun Li and other members of the Yun family all gathered in the main hall of the outer courtyard as quickly as possible, and everyone was feeling uneasy.

Ever since Kang Hongda was sentenced to death after the joint trial of three courts, the Yun family has been in fear, but they are also secretly happy that because of Kang Hongda's intention, the fact that they turned to Kang Hongda was not publicized.

To this day, Uncle Zhongyong no longer dares to blame Yunzhan for his sudden change of sides. He can only be glad that Yunzhan chose the right path and followed the right person.

In the past few days, Uncle Zhongyong has been keeping a low profile and did not dare to ask anyone for information, for fear that someone with ulterior motives would see him and think he had ulterior motives. He just wanted to find Yunzhan to explain everything, but he had no chance to meet Yunzhan at all.

Until this moment, Yun Zhan came to the Yun family with Prince Chen's edict.

As the matter happened suddenly and the eunuchs were present, Earl Zhongyong had no chance to greet Yun Zhan. He led everyone in the Yun family to kneel down and listen to the emperor's will.

This decree first clarified the crimes of the Loyal and Brave Earl Yun Ce and the Crown Prince Yun Li in collusion with Kang Hongda. With irrefutable evidence from witnesses and physical evidence, Yun Ce's title was stripped. And because his son Yun Zhan had made contributions in the battle to protect the Imperial City, he was allowed to inherit the title in order to make up for the Yun family's mistakes.

When the eunuch uttered the last word, all the Yun family members kneeling on the ground were stunned, as if a thunderclap had roared out of nowhere, making everyone's ears buzz and they even forgot to stand up.

“……” Yun Ce’s eyes almost popped out of his head in shock. He stared in disbelief at Yun Zhan, who was standing beside him with a half-smile.

His first reaction was to denounce this edict for confusing right and wrong, saying that he had made contributions in protecting the Imperial City. It was obvious that Prince Chen and Yun Zhan were forcing the emperor to abdicate that day!

But he still had some sense after all. The victors are the kings and the losers are the bandits. History is written by the victors. Throughout history, there have been many cases of brothers usurping their elder brothers' thrones and uncles usurping their nephews' thrones. Whoever ascends the throne and holds the throne firmly is the orthodox one! If Kang Hongda loses, he will be the traitor of Kang Hongda's party!

Although he knew it, Yun Ce couldn't help but get furious when he thought that his own son had no regard for the father-son relationship at all and asked the Prince of Chen to take away his title.

"Rebellious son..." Yun Ce squeezed out two words with difficulty, and veins popped out on his forehead. Yun Zhan, this rebellious son!! Yun Zhan stroked his sleeves carelessly, looking down at Yun Ce who was shorter because of kneeling on the ground, and said: "I said that one day, everyone in the Yun family will have to live under my rule."

His words were extremely arrogant, as if he was slapping Yun Ce and Yun Li, father and son, in the face in public.

"You are just a bastard, why are you so proud?"

"How dare you snatch your father's title? You are unfilial! How can an unfilial person inherit the title?!"

"With just one word from my father, the censor will impeach you!"

Yun Hao's voice became louder and louder, and sharper and sharper.

The expressions of the other people varied. Some nodded in agreement with Yun Hao in a weak manner, some felt dizzy and weak, some were so angry that their faces turned blue, and some exchanged glances with each other, knowing that it was futile for Yun Hao to continue shouting.

After all, with the support of the new emperor, Prince Chen, who is about to ascend the throne, who dares to impeach Yun Zhan! To put it bluntly, Prince Chen can also take away the title of the Loyal and Brave Earl's Mansion and give Yun Zhan a new title. Who dares to question it? ! Yun Zhan glanced at Yun Hao lightly, then slowly looked around at everyone in the Yun family, and finally fixed his eyes on Yun Ce's angry face.

My father has grown old and is no longer the tall and mighty man I remember him as.

He gained weight in middle age, his body was slightly hunched, and wrinkles appeared on his square face.

I have grown up and am no longer the little boy who wanted his father's approval.

Now, whether the other party dislikes or hates him, it will not affect him at all.

After seeing a wider world and meeting more respectable people, the people who were once closest to me seem to have become blurred.

Yun Zhan was too lazy to talk to them any more and said directly, "Let's split up."

These three words made Yun Ce's face twisted with anger. He stared at Yun Zhan with sinister eyes and refuted without thinking: "No!"

This rebellious son wants to divide the family as soon as he inherits the title. How can such a thing happen in the world? Yun Zhan didn't care and said, "Go and call the clan leader and the elders to discuss the division of the family."

"How dare you!" Yun Ce said sternly, puffing his beard and glaring, "I am your father. Even if Prince Chen lets you inherit the title, I am still your father. Without my consent, who dares to split the family?!"

Yun Ce's voice was so loud that it seemed to blow the roof off. He was overbearing and domineering, acting like the head of the family.

Yunzhan has become accustomed to this.

It has always been like this in the Yun family. When he wanted to go to the north to join the army, his father was like this; last year, when Yun Hao cut his neck with a sword and almost lost his life, his father was still like this.

He doesn't talk about reason or family affection, he just uses his father's authority to suppress me and wants to keep the peace.

Yunzhan smiled slightly, walked past Yunce, went straight to the front, and sat down on the armchair at the top, so naturally and casually.

This seat originally belonged to Yun Ce, the patriarch. In the past, only he could sit on it. Now that Yun Zhan is sitting there, there is no sense of incongruity.

Yun Zhan is a soldier. Just sitting there quietly, he has the uprightness and sharpness of a general. He is very different from the other men of the Yun family who are greedy for money, sex and fame.

The servants of the Yun family also saw it, and couldn't help but sigh: The Yun family has changed. Madam Yun has been the wife of the Earl for so many years, but in the end, she is not as good as Aunt Sun who gave birth to a good son. This mother is honored by her son is really the same truth that has not changed for the past hundred years! Yun Ce was almost mad, and continued to point at Yun Zhan's nose and cursed: "Who told you to sit here? This is my seat!"

"You are an unfilial son. Being unfilial is a serious sin!"

"If you keep making trouble, I will kneel down at the palace gate today and let the prince of Chen administer justice. If the prince of Chen ignores you, he will also lose all face."

Yun Ce curled his lips coldly and revealed a determined sneer.

The Prince of Chen finally gained power and was about to ascend the throne. Now was the time to protect his reputation. If Yun Zhan was labeled as unfilial, would the Prince of Chen still dare to use him? ! "Filial?" Yun Zhan sneered as if he had heard a joke and pointed to his neck.

Outside the white collar of his shirt, an inch-long flesh scar crawled on his neck like an ugly centipede, which made the onlookers shudder.

"Father, do you still remember how you got this scar?" Yunzhan asked.

Yun Ce: “…”

Yun Ce's face became even uglier, as black as the bottom of a pot.

Although other members of the Yun family had never seen Yun Zhan injured, they had more or less heard about the incident, so many people looked at Yun Hao.

Yun Zhan continued, "At that time, I had already returned my life to the Yun family. I no longer owe them anything."

"It's never up to you to decide whether one is filial or not." Yun Zhan said slowly, "Whoever is still alive has the final say."

His two sentences were neither light nor heavy, but steady and powerful.

His eyes were so determined, like a sword drawn from its sheath, decisive and daring in killing, with an air of looking down on all the other mountains.

“…”

“…”

“…”

The hall fell into a terrible silence. The servants really wished they could disappear from the spot. Yun Zhan's words just now were simply not worth pondering.

Yun Ce was also shocked, as if struck by lightning.

"You...rebellious son!" His whole body was shaking, and he didn't know whether he was angry or hated.

Could this rebellious son dare to commit treason and kill his father? ! He wanted to see if this rebellious son dared to do it! Yun Ce took a big step forward and wanted to rush over, but was nervously held back by Madam Yun.
