Chapter 485: People's Support
Tianji hugged his head and thought at that time, let him die, after all, he was too tired.
However, the pain he expected did not come.
He slowly opened his eyes and met a pair of wise eyes.
Perhaps it was because the looks in their eyes were too determined and fierce at that time that Shen Hechuan noticed them.
Chen Hechuan brought the two of them back to the East Palace, and also took a few people back with him, all of whom were the leftovers from others.
Either they are injured, or as thin as a bamboo pole, or like the earthly branches, they are terminally ill and may die at any time.
But Chen Hechuan still took them back, arranged accommodation for them, and found imperial doctors to treat them.
It took a month for them to recover.
But Chen Hechuan never summoned them.
This made them a little nervous, fearing that they would be sent away again, so they began to train themselves to keep themselves in the best condition at all times.
The same goes for others.
They also frequently competed with each other, and during this period they made continuous breakthroughs, becoming stronger and more perfect.
It was at this time that Shen Hechuan summoned them for the first time.
But he didn't say a word to them, instead he gave them a task.
A very simple yet very difficult task.
He asked them to kill the guards around King Rui, but not to leave any traces.
Afterwards, several people made a detailed plan, told Shen Hechuan, and began to implement it.
The result was that several people worked together in perfect harmony and completed the task perfectly.
After returning, Shen Hechuan smiled at them for the first time and asked their names one by one.
From then on, they finally felt at home.
After so many years, the relationship between them and Chen Hechuan is more like that of family members than that of a king and his subjects.
Especially the secrets of heaven.
He would risk his own life to save Shen Hechuan's people.
And at this moment in the room.
The two finally quieted down.
Gu Jingchun was panting, his whole body was sticky and he felt as if he had just been pulled out of the water.
But Chen Hechuan was like a motor. After finishing one time, he was still thinking about the next time.
Gu Jingchun didn't want it because he was tired.
But Shen Hechuan kept pestering her.
This made Gu Jingchun doubt his intentions.
So, when it ended again, Gu Jingchun asked directly.
"Hechuan, do you really want to lead the army in person?"
Shen Hechuan paused.
"I can't hide anything from you."
"I've thought about it, and this is the best way right now."
Gu Jingchun nodded, knowing that she couldn't object at this time.
However, she couldn't stop worrying, so she could only hold him tightly in her arms.
Chen Hechuan also felt Gu Jingchun's affection for him, and his arms around him tightened a little.
And outside at this time.
After listening to Tianji's words, Lan Xin also told him about her own experience.
In fact, her story is much simpler. Her family was poor and she ate a lot, so she was sold by her family.
After she was bought, she was returned because she ate too much.
Only then did I meet Gu Jingchun.
So, when she just followed Gu Jingchun back, she didn't dare to eat her fill.
It was only later, when Gu Jingchun accidentally discovered that she was eating secretly, that he realized that she had been deliberately eating less.
Gu Jingchun also told her that being able to eat is a blessing, which completely relieved her of the burden.
After that, she followed Gu Jingchun and learned a lot of skills from him.
The two talked a lot, and gradually, Lan Xin felt a little tired.
Seeing this, Tianji sat down and assumed the most comfortable posture.
Soon, Lan Xin's head fell on his shoulder.
Feeling the familiar weight, Tianji's mouth tapped.
The hands on my knees couldn't help but move.
Before the morning court session began the next day.
Jiang Chongfan came out of the mansion with a white cloth tied on his head.
Jiang Chongfan stood in front of the crowd and bowed respectfully.
This scene made the people standing there instantly tear up.
"Fellow villagers, Jiang thanks everyone for their concern for Jiang."
"But today, Jiang is determined to die. I will make a lasting impression. I will keep His Majesty away from the evil concubine, and work for the well-being of our great country and the people."
After Jiang Chongfan finished speaking, the people cheered.
"Lord Jiang is dedicated to the people. It is a blessing for us common people to have such a good official in Dacheng!"
A woman in the crowd spoke, and immediately the people around her nodded in agreement.
"Yes, it is!"
"Mr. Jiang is a truly good official who serves the country and the people. It is a blessing for us, the people, to have such a good official."
Jiang Chongfan stepped onto the carriage step by step under the gaze of the people.
His back was hunched and he took every step slowly, as if he had experienced the vicissitudes of life.
The wind blew up his gray hair, and the white cloth on his head was also blown up by the wind, making the scene inexplicably more pitiful.
One woman couldn't bear it any longer and knelt on the ground, shouting loudly.
"Master Jiang, please... please walk slowly."
The voice was mournful, as if Jiang Chongfan was not going to court, but to die.
But when Jiang Chongfan got on the carriage, his expression changed immediately.
The servant who followed him immediately said, "Master, this time, your reputation among the people has been opened.
Now the people are silently guarding you on both sides?
Jiang Chongfan said "hmm" lightly.
"As the saying goes, water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. This is a truth everyone understands, but our Majesty is still too young.
He thinks he can do whatever he wants just because he is in a high position.
Little did he know that this was the first step in him losing the support of the people.”
Jiang Chongfan sighed as he spoke.
"Actually, this is not your Majesty's fault. After all, your Majesty has not been valued since he was young, so naturally there is no one to assist him.
Fortunately, it is not too late now. Today, I will teach Your Majesty a lesson."
Jiang Chongfan's carriage passed through the crowd of people and stopped at the palace gate.
At the same time, a fast horse galloped from outside the city.
"Eight hundred miles, eight hundred miles!"
The general guarding the city saw the flag from afar and immediately ordered the city gates to be opened.
The man rode past at a gallop.
The general looked at the man's back and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"Eight hundred miles, rush! Are we really going to have a war?"
And at this time in the hall.
Jiang Chongfan knelt among the officials, wearing a white cloth on his head, his back straight, and tears streaming down his face.
His words were full of loyalty to the ministers and His Majesty.
"Your Majesty, I have been away from Tiandu for many years and have missed your growth. I never thought that Your Majesty would be bewitched by this woman."
