Xiao Yuchen learned from Wen Jin what happened to the Jiang brothers.
When he had time, he summoned Wen Yuanjie to speak from the East Palace.
Wen Yuanjie entered the palace and saluted respectfully.
Xiao Yuchen waved his hand to dismiss the eunuchs in the imperial study.
Seeing that apart from the two of them, there was no one else in the palace except the eunuch who was serving the emperor at his desk...
Wen Yuanjie's expression became unnaturally tense.
He probably guessed why the emperor summoned him.
Wen Yuanjie lifted his robe and knelt down before he could speak.
Xiao Yuchen lowered his eyes and looked at him, and said meaningfully, "If you were my brother-in-law, you wouldn't have to be like this. We are all family members."
Wen Yuanjie didn't move... As expected, it was because of this.
He took a deep breath, kowtowed, and said, "A villain dare not deceive the king... Really, I think about it."
Xiao Yuchen said, "So, you don't want to admit it?"
Wen Yuanjie said, "The master bought the villain at the beginning and detoxified the villain. The master is the villain's reborn parent, reborn with kindness.
"The former Jiang Yuan is already dead. The villain is just Wen Yuanjie."
Xiao Yuchen laughed and said, "If you were Jiang Yuan, you would be the Queen's cousin. With this blood relationship, wouldn't it make you even closer?"
Wen Yuanjie's whole body was slightly tense.
There was silence in the palace for a long time.
He didn't speak or take a stand.
Xiao Yuchen didn't rush him either.
In the overly quiet air, time seemed to drag on for an extremely long time.
After a long time, Wen Yuanjie said, "The villain doesn't want to be Jiang Yuan anymore because... the villain doesn't know how to face Jiang Shuo.
"He is Jiang Yuan's eldest brother. The Jiang family was exiled and had a difficult journey. There were too many hardships and dangers... He is the eldest son of this generation.
“He took care of the little ones under him and made a lot of efforts. He was truly like an elder brother and a father.
"Even after he arrived in Qi and stabilized, he still thought a lot about his younger brothers and sisters..."
It's not that Wen Yuanjie doesn't understand Jiang Shuo.
But as he spoke, his fists gradually clenched.
"He means well...but can't everyone live according to his ideas and requirements? We are human beings, don't we have our own ideas?
"At the beginning, I also wanted to do something for the Jiang family's career! I am not good at medical skills, and I have loved practicing martial arts since I was a child.
"My senior brothers and partners, I and I formed a escort team! We want to help the Jiang family's business transport goods! He doesn't agree with anything he says!
"It's fine if he doesn't agree. We don't transport the Jiang family's goods! We do other people's business!
"But he..."
Wen Yuanjie gasped for air.
There was indignation and anger on his young face.
He suddenly felt something was wrong...he secretly raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Yuchen's face.
Xiao Yuchen was very calm, "You continue."
"He arranged for me to join the escort agency he found, and asked me to be escorted by the escort agency... Who knew that there was an escort in the escort agency who was colluding with the thieves outside.
"Working together, they robbed the escort team! The villain was injured, poisoned, and rolled down the cliff... narrowly escaped death.
"After the villain woke up, he was in chaos. Somehow, he was captured as a slave and was given a strange poison. If he didn't listen to the slave owner, he would be poisoned."
Wen Yuanjie smiled desolately, "I think this poison is very similar to Jiang Shuo. You must be obedient. If you don't obey, you will be punished with heart-breaking punishment."
Xiao Yuchen lowered his eyes, thoughtfully.
After Wen Yuanjie said this, he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
He cheered up and said, "It was the empress who saved the little man and cured him of this strange poison! He gave him a new life!
"Master Wen also changed the villain's status as a slave. Although the villain is just a commoner now, he is free and complete!
"I think life is very good now! I am much more comfortable and comfortable than being the young master of the Jiang family! I beg the Emperor for your favor! I don't want to be Jiang Yuan."
Xiao Yuchen nodded slightly, "Does Jiang Shuo know what you said?"
Wen Yuanjie smiled sadly.
"It doesn't matter if he knows it or not. He won't change it.
"He is always right! He always means well! He doesn't care whether you want it or not, whether you need it or not."
Xiao Yuchen nodded and asked, "What are your plans for the future of your life?"
Many people feel a little confused when facing this problem.
But Wen Yuanjie's eyes lit up, "The villain is collecting experience information on shipbuilding from various places. He is also looking for records about navigation.
"Although the existing experience is very little. But don't be afraid of small people, we will build the largest and strongest ship!
"The villain wants to go to sea, wants to go out and make a living...even if he makes mistakes along the way, even...even if he dies outside!
"But the villain will die without regrets!"
When he said this, his young face was glowing red, and his expression of excitement made his whole body seem to glow.
Xiao Yuchen smiled and asked the eunuch to hand a thick stack of paper to Wen Yuanjie.
"This is some information about ships and voyages in the palace library.
"There is also a sketch drawn by the empress herself, which may inspire you to build a ship."
Wen Yuanjie originally thought that the emperor would criticize him on the basis of "filial piety and brotherhood."
He was ready for the scolding.
Unexpectedly, the emperor did not judge him, but still gave him such great help!
Looking at the sketches and information, he almost jumped up excitedly and did a set of punches and somersaults.
If he hadn't remembered that this was the imperial study room, he would have yelled a few times.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty for your kindness! Long live Your Majesty!"
He was excited.
Xiao Yuchen said, "It is good for young people to have the courage to face death for what they long for. But more importantly, they must have faith, the belief that they will succeed and come back alive!"
"When you go through experience and become strong enough, you will find that no one can control your life beyond you.
"You don't need to fight against it, all the shackles will fall off you. By then, you will find that all the shackles can make you stronger."
When Xiao Yuchen said these words, he seemed to be enveloped in a faint golden light.
Wen Yuanjie looked at him dreamily, feeling touched in his heart.
"Yes...Thank you, Your Majesty!" He suddenly realized...who didn't break out from the shackles of others?
Even the current Holy Emperor had many difficulties at the time.
This realization filled Wen Yuanjie's heart with strength.
And what the emperor just said...faith!
After Wen Yuanjie resigned, the hall was quiet for a while.
Xiao Yuchen said to the screen, "Come out."
After a long time, Jiang Shuo slowly moved out from behind the screen.
His originally powerful steps seemed to become very heavy.
"Thank you... thank you, Your Majesty!
"Grass people...resign."
Jiang Shuo said nothing more.
He went to the palace today to ask for an audience with the emperor. His original intention was to use the emperor's hand to force Jiang Yuan to recognize him.
He went back and thought about it again, and he felt that Jiang Yuan deliberately refused to recognize him...
The emperor did not agree to him, nor did he reject him. He only asked him to hide behind the screen, restrain his breath, and listen quietly.
He listened, and he guessed correctly.
Jiang Yuan remembered!
But everything seems to have changed.
Jiang Yuan didn't want to recognize him, and even hated him.
