Chapter 517 The cannon fodder vase in Machiavellian writing (30)
Chu Yunci just stared at her, his fair and handsome face smiling with a hint of charm.
"Jiang Lai, do you think that because your father has done a few things for me, you think that the Taishi family has firmly established itself in my position?"
"No, no, no, my father just wants to be worthy of your kindness in doing this. He has no second intention.
Your Highness, you can think about it, my father is just a girl, and I have no ambitions in this life. I just want to secure a place in this court and retire to my hometown with peace of mind when I grow old.
Your Highness, you are so smart and wise, you can definitely see that."
Jiang Lai likes to put a high hat on Chu Yun Ci, because he likes to hear it. Even if he knows that she is deliberately flattering, he will be happy after hearing it.
Such a villain is easy to deal with. Although he is ruthless, he can't resist his soft-heartedness.
After a few words, Chu Yunci felt much better.
His long middle finger tapped lazily on the table.
"Well, so you don't have to worry."
"Um?"
"You can be first in line."
"ah?"
"Flatter me."
"..."
Does this bitch know what nonsense he is talking about?
In a condescending tone, he told him that he could be the first to flatter him. It turns out that there really are people in the world who are so arrogant that they think their own farts smell good.
Jiang Lai continued to have a smile on his face.
After all, her father is still working under the supervision of others, and after all, he is not a very capable minister yet.
As he always strives for excellence in his tasks, Jiang Lai continued to coax him dutifully.
"Then this is also a gift from Your Highness to me. Thank you very much, Your Highness."
Little Pudding felt that Jiang Lai had never been so aggrieved in his life.
But the person involved did not feel aggrieved at all, and even worked very energetically and hard.
In the end, Chu Yunci was in a good mood and let her go in advance. Before leaving, he told her with an expression of "I'll give you face".
"I'll have dinner at your house tonight."
Jiang Lai was all smiles.
"Your Highness's presence will make this humble house look brighter! I will go back and prepare meals with my mother right now."
"No need to prepare too grandly, just follow the standards of your last family dinner."
This guy is really not polite at all. The standard last time was not a family banquet. Even if the emperor comes, it will be the same standard at most.
However, Chu Yunci's meal was not in vain. It didn't take long for Jiang Taishi to be promoted to Taifu, and he was responsible for teaching the academics of all the princes in the three palaces. He was listed as one of the three princes. Although he did not have any actual rights like the previous Taishi, he was
It truly represents the emperor's favor.
Moreover, he could become the prince's teacher. If any prince ascended the throne, the tutor would be directly promoted to the prince's tutor. Although he had no real power, he was the person with the most say around the emperor.
It's almost enough to say that he is a very human minister.
When Jiang Lai heard the news, the progress bar of the task was also full.
Little Pudding was speechless.
He never thought in his life that the person who could get his own father to this point by flattering him was right next to him.
I never expected that the male lead villain at the center of the original plot, who was ruthless and crazy about perverts, turned out to be a soft-hearted person.
"Why does he like hearing your flattery so much?"
There are thousands of people in the world who flatter him. If the results can be so remarkable, then Chu Yunci should be a Bodhisattva after all, sitting there every day and being responsible for listening to good words and fulfilling his wishes.
But now he is an evil god that everyone is afraid of. How can an evil god act like a wish-making elf all day long? Jiang Lai will grant her one wish with just a few kind words.
So little pudding doesn't understand.
Why did Chu Yunci make Jiang Lai this exception?
Jiang Lai himself was very calm.
"Maybe it's because I'm loved by everyone. After all, didn't Chu Yunci still want to chop off my fingers at the beginning?"
What now?
He summoned her to the palace every day and listened to her flattery.
He enjoyed it so much that when word spread, others thought Chu Yunci had some special hobby.
Many people in Beijing knew about Jiang Lai and Chu Yunci, and the news that came out was all kinds of.
But most of the content is about their unclear relationship.
Jiang Lai's identity is sensitive. He was once Chu Yunci's sister-in-law. Although they were divorced, their former identity is here. Now these two people should avoid suspicion when they meet again. Now it is better to take the initiative to meet in the palace every day.
Few people have seen it.
Jiang Lai didn't care, since she just thought those people were talking nonsense.
How could Chu Yunci not hear these rumors because he was so well informed? His methods were straightforward. No matter who heard the rumors, he would be dragged out and executed immediately.
After beheading four of them in a row, such news was no longer heard in the palace.
Immediately afterwards, news came out that the emperor was seriously ill.
When the guards came to report, Chu Yunci was having dinner at Jiang's house.
The atmosphere in the Jiang family has always been very good, and Mrs. Jiang's cooking skills are also good. After eating there twice, this place has become Chu Yunci's second dining hall. I come here for a meal when I have nothing to do, and I can chat with her while eating.
Taifu Jiang chatted about the affairs in the court.
They didn't avoid Jiang Lai and Mrs. Jiang. They didn't listen anyway. They just sat together and chatted about the secrets of the noble ladies in the capital. The mother and daughter had a good relationship, and they didn't look like mother and daughter when they got along, but more like sisters.
"Your Highness, the Eighth Prince is the first to enter the palace, should we also hurry up?"
The emperor passed away just two days ago. Before that, the eighth prince secretly returned from the disaster relief area. He thought that no one knew about it, but Chu Yunci had already watched his every move.
In the eyes.
During this period, Chu Yunxuan had been secretly hiding in the palace. On this day, he went directly into the emperor's chamber and has not left yet.
Chu Yunci, on the other hand, remained calm and calm, looking like he was sure of victory, which made Taifu Jiang calm down.
"Your Highness, the palace just came to report that Your Majesty is not well."
"Well, let's sit down for a while and wait until dawn before leaving."
At dawn, the carriage was already ready outside the door. The moment they arrived at the palace, the news of the emperor's death came out.
At this time, all the princes were already kneeling in front of the hall, and Chu Yunxuan was kneeling inside.
Seeing that Chu Yun's resignation was late, the eldest prince pulled him to kneel down anxiously, his voice trembling.
"Chu Yunxuan and his father stayed inside all night. They are afraid that the edict may change. What should we do now?"
Chu Yunci asked him to calm down.
"Don't you know your father's temper? Who knows who will pass the throne until the last moment?"
At this time, the chief eunuch began to read the imperial edict.
"I have been ordered by the Emperor and Heaven to establish a great position in the world, to quell the chaos and suppress the army... The eighth son Yunxuan, I will be a filial friend of the Ming Dynasty, and the world will return to its heart..."
When he heard this, Chu Yunxuan, who was kneeling at the front, was trembling with excitement and wished he could stand up on the spot to receive the order directly.
The eldest prince collapsed on the ground with a face ashen and despair, tears fell directly, and he stared at Chu Yunci without saying a word.
But Chu Yunci still looked at the chief eunuch calmly.
