The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

"It's related to Zijie's father." Zhang Fan heard Zhao Zijie's words.I was really surprised. "If it's convenient, can Zijie tell me what's going on. It's not something I want to inquire about Zijie. In fact, this matter sounds really weird."

"Oh, sir. You don't have to say that." Zhao Zijie waved his hand.Said. "Curiosity. Everyone has it. There is no distinction between good and bad. And this matter. It has been so many years. Now I talk about it. But it is not a big deal. It just makes me feel a little strange."

"Since it's convenient for Zijie, I'd like to hear about it." Zhang Fan said.

"Speaking of this matter, in fact, it has nothing to do with me. It's all about my father. After all, at that time, I was not born yet." Zhao Zijie said. "There is one thing that adults don't know. Even at the beginning of the next day, I didn't know it. In the end, I heard it from the housekeeper who has been taking care of my son. When my father gave birth to my son, it was already over [-] years. Before that, my father It’s in the palace of the Prince of Shu. It is said that he is also a guard.”

"Oh. Zijie's father is also working as a guard in this palace." Zhang Fan heard something new.And it's something I've never heard of before.But Zhang Fan didn't think it was an important matter.

True.something like this.It is absolutely impossible for Zhao Zijie to deceive Zhang Fan.After all, this kind of thing is too easy to cheat.If Zhang Fan was lied to.At that time, Zhang Fan only needs to find someone to ask.Don't even need to ask.Just bring it up when you're chatting with someone.This will be self-defeating.If Zhao Zijie said that to Zhang Fan now.That means it's true.

and.Since Zhao Zijie was able to say this in front of Zhang Fan.In other words, it is estimated that there is really nothing worthy of doubt.after all.Zhang Fan didn't believe that Zhao Zijie didn't know the purpose of talking to him today.Just to see if he can find any flaws in him.That being the case.Even Zhao Zijie agreed with Zhang Fan because of the previous conversation.But it is absolutely impossible for him to expose his flaws so clearly.

"Your Excellency also finds it strange." Zhao Zijie said. "Since my father has been a bodyguard, he should have the skills. Besides, I can enter this palace as a bodyguard. There is no need to say anything. Even if the martial arts are not top-notch, they will definitely not be bad. But why does my father He will also encounter villains on the way out and die." When Zhao Zijie said these words.His expression made him a little uncertain.It's hard to see what he's thinking right now.It is anger, remorse.Or helpless.

"I want to come. There must be something hidden in it." Zhang Fan didn't know what to say for a while.It's not an option to speculate.

"Your Excellency's words are correct. There are indeed some things in it." Zhao Zijie said. "This matter. We have to start from 22 years ago. At that time, my father was a guard in the palace. That was when the former king was in power. And my father was the prince at that time. That is, the current prince personal bodyguard.

"My lord was still very young at that time. By the way, my lord. There are some things. I don't need to talk about them later, and my lord understands. Yes. At that time, my lord was a prince. But I didn't live well. My lord's mother was the former king's mother. The folk prescription for accepting a marriage. According to etiquette, it should be called the fifth princess. The former king loved the fifth princess very much. Moreover, when the prince was just born, I heard that the former king loved her very much. It's just that the fifth princess was very weak in her own right. She passed away not long after giving birth to the prince.

"It's nothing at first. If it's a normal situation, I'm afraid the former king will love the prince even more. But the former king is different. I heard that his temperament is a little different from others. If it is about loving the house and the black, the former king will definitely not have it. The former king is a man. People who like what they like. Therefore, the death of the fifth concubine. The previous king blamed all the responsibility on the prince. I have heard people say these things. I have never seen them. But I remember. The first time I saw the prince At that time. The prince recalled the past, and his face was quite lonely. I think it may be true.

"All in all, that's how things are. On weekdays, the late king didn't care about the prince. He never restrained him. But if the prince did something wrong, he would be severely punished by the late king. My lord, it's conceivable. But I know. The prince was just a child at the time. He didn’t understand anything. And in this palace, because of the relationship between the former king, no one was willing to approach the prince. It’s fine when he was young. After all, he didn’t understand anything. Gradually grow up. After becoming more sensible, the difference will come out.

"However. Although the previous king did not treat the prince very well. He never made the prince's expenses different from others. There were also people who taught the prince to read. However, other things were almost ignored. For example, the rules in the palace. No one has ever taught the prince. This is actually the same as deliberately watching the prince make mistakes. It’s like punishing him. In a word. Because of this incident, the prince suffered a lot when he was young.

"And my father is the prince's bodyguard. It started when the prince was five years old. At that time, my father was also young. But he treated the prince very well. On weekdays, he always protects the prince from being bullied by other people in the palace. If the previous king punished the prince for something, my father could not stop him because of his status. However, sometimes my father would even take the blame for the prince. After the prince was punished by the late king, my father would comfort him. Say something disrespectful. The prince met for the first time When I was down, I also said that I treated my father like a father.

"As for my father's matter. I have to start from the year when the prince was eight years old. In fact, nothing happened that year. It was very peaceful. It was just September. The prince wanted to go out for a visit. In the palace. The former king never let him go out. Maybe the former king never said that he was not allowed to go out. But the prince also thought that the former king would not allow him. In short, at that time, the prince suddenly wanted to go out and have a look. As a result, As soon as the matter was mentioned, the late king agreed.

"And what happened on the way is unknown. In short, when the prince came back, my father carried him back. The prince was not injured. But he was shocked a lot. He passed out. But my father was covered in blood It's blood. One leg is also useless. Thinking about it, I met some bad guys on the road. And the only one beside the prince is my father. It's not surprising that this happened.

"Since then, my father was unable to do anything because of a crippled leg. He dismissed the guards of the palace. He returned to his home in Chongqing. One year later, he married the next mother. Another year later, this is the real thing. My servant. These things, I have heard from Uncle Li. Oh. Uncle Li has been the housekeeper who has been taking care of me since I was a child. And I waited for my return from apprenticeship with my master. Uncle Li told me about this matter He said later that when my father was dying, he was by my father's side. That's what my father told me. If I also practice martial arts in the future, I want to let my father return to this Shu Palace in place of my father."

"Things in the world are so elusive." Zhang Fan also sighed.Said. "I think your father will leave such a sentence. I'm afraid it's just wanting to do something. It's not that I want you to come and continue to serve the prince first, so that your future will be the same as your father's. But. I'm afraid your father will not do it anyway. Thinking about it. Zijie, you really know how to practice martial arts."

"Your Excellency is right. The so-called world is impermanent. I'm afraid that's the case." Zhao Zijie also looked sad.

"However, Zijie. Don't blame my words for being unpleasant." Zhang Fan changed his puzzled face.Looking at Zhao Zijie, he asked. "Although it is said that he came to the palace to be a guard. This is what his father told Zijie. And Zijie also obeyed his father's entrustment. Instead of his father, he returned to this palace to serve the prince. However, there is no hatred in Zijie's heart. No."

"Hate. What are you talking about?" Zhao Zijie looked at Zhang Fan.Put on a look of not understanding.asked.

"Zijie. Don't worry. There is no one here. I won't say anything." Zhang Fan said with a smile. "After all, your father was injured because of the lord. At that time, if it wasn't because the lord insisted on going out, you wouldn't have encountered these things at all. And if you met someone bad, your father would just leave like this. According to your father People who practice martial arts. It is impossible for these villains to hurt your father. In addition, the prince was not loved by the late king at that time. I am afraid that no one will ask about this matter in the future. But your father lost a leg because of it. Even In the end, your father also lost his life because of this. Does Zijie really have no resentment in his heart?"

"No. I hated it before." Zhao Zijie said. "When I just found out about this matter, I naturally felt hatred in my heart. Although it is a bit far-fetched to say it. But in the final analysis, my father will suffer from this misfortune. I can't separate my relationship with the prince. However, I still decided to go first I'll talk about it when I see the prince. I originally thought that the prince would never remember my father. Who knows that the prince remembers it clearly. And he treats my father like his own father.

"At that time, I remembered Uncle Li's words. That's right. Since my father didn't escape at that time, but stayed to help the prince resist the villains. This shows that my father has already made a resolution. If this is the case, this is my father's wish. I have no reason to hate people because of my father's wishes. Even if my father died because of it."

"..." After listening to Zhao Zijie's words.Zhang Fan was silent for a long time.Only then did he speak. "Zijie can think like this. He will definitely achieve something in the future."
