Chapter 684: Accept Your Fate!
Zhang Yikang did not change his ambition, insisting on choosing the path of rebellion and choosing revenge. He didn't want to change his name and surname, being mediocre. Nor did he want to go abroad to fight.
If he wants to die, he will die in the Great Ming. Only fight on the land of the Great Ming!
Chen Guanlou fulfilled him, took him as an apprentice, taught him martial arts from then on, taught him to distinguish people's hearts, win people's hearts, taught him the mystery of rebellion...
One without a teaching syllabus, teaching wherever he thought of. One learning thirstily, crazily absorbing all knowledge, regardless of whether it is useful or not.
Chen Guanlou personally witnessed what is a top student, what is a talent monster, what is called a genius.
Wu Dashou was not wrong; the Wu family's little thirteen was indeed gifted.
It took several months, approaching the New Year, and the Jian Shi Emperor finally eradicated all of Prince Jin's wings, killing over ten thousand people before and after. Those implicated, dismissed, and exiled were countless.
The court was empty.
The candidate officials ushered in a carnival.
Throughout the end of the year, candidate officials ran around, and their figures were everywhere.
Prince Jin was alone, still detained in the cell.
Prince Jin's family members were imprisoned and watched in the Prince's mansion.
"Prince Jin is very decadent, silent every day, neither painful nor cursing. Only when Chen Guanlou patrols the cell will he chat a few words.
"Do you think he will let me go?"
Chen Guanlou sneered; it's already this time, and he is still dreaming. Moron!
"If it were you, would you let him go?"
"No!"
"That's it!"
Prince Jin laughed at himself, laughing bitterly.
"He neither kills me nor lets me go; what exactly does he mean?"
"Probably hasn't thought about how to let you die!"
"That's not simple, just a cup of poisoned wine." Prince Jin mocked, "It can't be that his conscience has been discovered."
"You thought in the wrong direction; no wonder you lost." Chen Guanlou didn't hide his disdain at all. He was truly amazed by Prince Jin's self-righteousness and outstanding IQ. Even so, he still wanted to seize the throne.
However, he still patiently explained to Prince Jin, so as not to let the other party overthink and want to die.
"In the past few months, the killing has been too heavy. Many court officials have started to submit memorials to persuade him! Because of this slaughter of over ten thousand people, the capital has become gloomy, and merchants don't dare to come to the capital to do business.
Compared to previous years, the city of the capital is obviously much colder this year. If this continues, it is not a good omen. Therefore, he is not in a hurry to kill you now, not because his conscience has been discovered. He urgently needs to reorganize his drums and borrow the opportunity of the New Year to make the capital lively and restore people's hearts.
When time passes and people can't think of you, a cup of poisoned wine will end you, and there will be no trouble. The matter is just that simple; don't think about it in a complicated way, and don't be self-indulgent, thinking he still has brotherly affection for you."
Prince Jin looked disappointed and decadent, "Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, you are always so disappointing."
"If you had a strategist like me who is honest and dares to speak the truth by your side back then, maybe the ending would have been rewritten. Do you know why you failed? It is because the people around you only know how to flatter, coaxing you around. You don't need comfort now, you don't need flattery, you need a basin of cold water to cool down your overheated head."
"Is this Prince really that unpleasing to your eyes?" Prince Jin was very unconvinced.
Chen Guanlou glanced contemptuously, his tone light, "You can't give me money, nor can you give me power, why should I look at you. Your Highness, don't be so self-righteous."
"But as far as I know, you don't have this attitude towards other officials."
"Others have real talent and learning, what do you have? Except for an identity, what do you have?" Chen Guanlou asked this question very impolitely. If he could, he even wanted to tear off Prince Jin's face and throw it on the ground and step on it fiercely.
"This Prince is also learned in five cars, and has followed great Confucian scholars since childhood, and also has real talent and learning."
"I said it, you are surrounded by too many flatterers, coaxing you until you can't distinguish the truth. Compared with top talents who have passed the imperial examination, Your Highness's knowledge is really not enough to look at. You may know a lot, but it is not profound. You may see far, but you clearly lack strategic vision, lack combat skills, and have no tactics at all. In short, you are just a cut stronger than a playboy, plus the halo of identity, which makes you lose your direction."
Prince Jin was very unconvinced and wanted to argue.
Chen Guanlou didn't indulge him, "You should think about what to eat tonight. Really, the Prince's mansion was raided, and there isn't even a valuable thing."
"If you want money, ask him for it! He locked me in the Heavenly Prison, and he also ordered the Prince's mansion to be raided." Prince Jin had an attitude of course.
Chen Guanlou hehe-ed twice.
If he had the ability to ask the Jian Shi Emperor for money, why would he run to the cell to mock Prince Jin every three days.
People in the royal family are all stingy.
In a blink of an eye, the year passed, and it was the second year of Jian Shi.
Spring is warm and flowers are blooming, grass is growing and warblers are flying, the Marquis Mansion is marrying off a daughter!
Chen Guanlou went to eat the banquet and helped the son of the heir Chen Guanfu to discipline his son for half a day.
Chen Guanfu seemed to have discovered Chen Guanlou's true usage: bringing children!
Chen Guanlou:...
Clearly he really hates bringing children, but Chen Guanfu insisted that he brought children very well, and Chen Mengzhao was much more sensible under his teaching.
Chen Guanlou wanted to vomit blood.
Compared to bringing Chen Mengzhao, he prefers teaching his apprentice Zhang Yikang, a little genius. It's just that the study is too hard and he doesn't know how to play. If he could neutralize it with Chen Mengzhao, it would be good.
When the summer was hottest, Prince Jin was released from prison and confined to the Prince's mansion. At least he was with his family, taking care of each other.
On the day he was released, the Heavenly Prison saw him off together, finally sending this big Buddha away!
Chen Guanlou was even overjoyed and wept! He wanted to set off firecrackers on the spot and sing a song of good days.
Prince Jin was a bit unhappy, "Does Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen really hate this Prince so much?"
"Not so! I have no opinion on Your Highness personally. However, due to my duties, I am responsible for watching Your Highness, and the pressure is quite great, so I have occasionally been negligent, and I hope Your Highness will forgive me."
It's not just occasionally negligent; it's clearly always eyes not eyes, nose not nose, picking faults everywhere. Every time they chatted, Prince Jin was refuted until he doubted life.
Forget it!
Looking at the nearly one year they spent together, Prince Jin thought generously, he wouldn't argue with the other party.
Chen Guanlou laughed!
Prince Jin finished washing and dressing, waiting for the team to pick him up.
Taking advantage of the time, he still wanted to chat with Chen Guanlou, "Will he kill me?"
"Yes! It's a matter of time!" Chen Guanlou said affirmatively.
Prince Jin smiled bitterly, "You really don't know how to comfort people."
"Your Highness doesn't need comfort, but needs to recognize reality and don't have unrealistic fantasies. He is not your father, you will definitely die! If the late Emperor were here, you might still have a chance to live."
"The world says the late Emperor was cruel, but I didn't expect that only the late Emperor could protect my life."
"After all, they are father and son!" Chen Guanlou said casually: "You are not born of the same mother as him; the father is dead, and there is no bond between you. Accept your fate!"
Prince Jin smiled bitterly: How to accept fate! How can one accept fate! ===== CHAPTER 685 =====
