Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating

Chapter 108: Madman

(T/L NOTE: Everyone thank the buyers of {240+} chapters, that you got to read these bonus chapters!)

Ye Shuo had not expected this to happen.

The two, one big and one small, looked at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

I never expected that in just a few words, I would be tricked into revealing my secrets.

What to do? What to do? What to do!

The hot blood rushed to his head, and the old Duke Zhen was speechless for a long time. He opened his mouth and tried to argue, but he couldn’t find any good excuse for a while.

Following behind, Wei Wen looked at this, then looked at that, somewhat confused.

Grandfather and my little cousin were talking and laughing just now, why did they suddenly become silent?

Seeing that his grandfather was about to get angry if he didn’t say anything, Ye Shuo couldn’t help but whisper to comfort him, “Grandfather, don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone.”

Judging from his grandfather’s series of reactions just now, Ye Shuo didn’t think that his grandfather was the kind of old fox who hid very deeply.

Even a really shrewd person wouldn’t be blown up so easily.

All I can say is that I’m barely protecting myself under the nose of my cheap father.

“Look, you also discovered my secret, so we are even.” Exchanging secrets, they established initial trust.

The old Duke Zhen smiled bitterly, feeling that he was really going backwards as time went by. It was bad enough that he suffered losses everywhere in the court, but now a child of a few years old could lead him by the nose.

The old Duke Zhen had long felt that the capital city was not suitable for him. Every person there was a cunning person. If he kept dealing with these people all day long, he would be eaten to the point where not even a bone would be left.

As it turns out, this is indeed the case.

“Alas, I’m getting old.” The old Duke Zhen couldn’t help but sigh.

But having said that, there has never been such a treacherous person in their family before.

The old Duke Zhen does have some wisdom, but it is basically the result of years of experience and practice. It is far from enough to be used in the court. His real ability lies in leading troops and fighting.

Not to mention his sons and daughter. His sons were forced to be kept in seclusion before they could really hone their talents on the battlefield. Until now, the six of them have had little contact with the court, and they don’t like to study, and are even worse than himself.

As for my daughter, I never thought of marrying her into the royal family at the beginning. After all, she was brought up to be naive.

As for the grandchildren, they are even worse. The six sons have at least seen what the battlefield is like and have stayed at the border for a few years, but the grandchildren have never even left the capital.

What’s the use of having great skills? If you are fed with good food and drink every day but have no official position and can only hang out outside all day, even the best seedling will be ruined after so many years.

To be honest, the old Duke Zhen is already very content with what his grandchildren have become today.

We are lucky enough that there are no extremely evil people among them, nor are there people who exploit the common people and ruin their ancestral property.

The current state of the Duke of Zhen’s Mansion is a true reflection of the saying that wealth cannot last for more than three generations.

The decline of the Zhen Mansion is imminent, and the only hope is the eldest grandson with outstanding talent. However, the current situation has forced the eldest grandson to be unable to get married, let alone become an official. How can he revive the family?

Even though the old Duke Zhen was unwilling in his heart, he could only watch.

In the final analysis, the Duke Zhen Mansion is just struggling to survive. If a way out of this impasse is still not found, there will soon no longer be any so-called Duke Zhen Mansion in the Great Zhou.

The current emperor is far from being comparable to the previous emperor. Once there is any unusual movement on his side, the emperor will certainly not show mercy. His secret guards will surely come out in full force and slaughter everyone in the Duke’s Mansion.

Although the old Duke Zhen had never seen what a secret guard looked like, he believed that His Majesty definitely had the ability to do so.

The old Duke Zhen thought that he didn’t have the ability to beat those people, so he could only pull out his own teeth and claws and surrender, maybe he could still have a chance of survival.

But my grandson…

My own daughter knows herself well and feels that she would never be able to give birth to a son like this.

Could it be that the Feng Shui of the royal family is so nourishing?

How old is he…

The old Duke Zhen’s eyes gradually became strange.

Although his grandfather didn’t say it explicitly, Ye Shuo could guess it a little.

“Thank you for your hard work over the years, grandpa.” If it weren’t for his grandfather’s clear vision, he and his mother would not have perished along with the Duke of Zhen’s Mansion, but they would certainly not have been able to live as leisurely as they do now.

“What happened to me is nothing, but you…child, you have suffered a lot…” At this point, how could the old Duke Zhen not understand what was happening?

He had been wondering why life at home had become better as the Ninth Prince grew up, and it turned out that the root of the problem was here.

I’m afraid my grandson has contributed a lot.

Thinking that a child of only a few years old had to plan all these things carefully, the old Duke Zhen couldn’t help but feel sad in his heart.

Looking at the old Duke Zhen who suddenly burst into tears while chatting, Wei Wen couldn’t help but be stunned.

Although grandpa was very excited to see my aunt’s son, it shouldn’t be this serious…

The old Duke Zhen was completely unaware and held his grandson’s hand tightly, “You’ve suffered so much over the years. Your mother… must have caused you a lot of worry, child.”

“How could that be?” Ye Shuo shook his head: “It’s my cousins ??and uncles who should make things more difficult for you.”

There are only two people he needs to worry about, but there are more than twenty people in the Duke of Zhen’s Mansion.

The moment he finished speaking, the old Duke Zhen cried even harder.

He had never been so embarrassed in any battle in his life.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. In fact, it’s your eldest cousin who is worried about the family.”

Ye Shuo: “…”

Sure enough, the eldest cousin was the most miserable one.

“Wow, Grandfather, you are really too rude, aren’t you?”

“To be honest, I have no choice. Your eldest cousin is the only one I can rely on in my family. What can I do? By the way, don’t tell Wen’er about this…”

Ye Shuo: “Heh.”

Seeing the grandfather who had established a deep relationship with his little cousin in just less than half an incense stick of time, not to mention Wei Wen, even Wei Zhao and the others were stunned.

What’s more, at the banquet, the old Duke Zhen pulled Ye Shuo to his side, as if he couldn’t leave him even for a moment.

Ye Shuo had no choice but to compromise: “…Don’t be like this, Grandfather, I promise you.”

The old Duke Zhen then reluctantly let him go.

How can a military commander’s family have meals without wine?

“Come on, Dad, let’s go for a walk!” After a few bowls of wine, Ye Shuo’s uncles gradually became bolder.

The old Duke Zhen didn’t care. He took it with a smile and soon started drinking with his son.

After some observation, Ye Shuo found that except for his grandfather and eldest cousin, there were no particularly outstanding figures among his other six uncles or seventeen cousins.

Of course, this only applies to speech, behaviour and interpersonal relationships. I don’t know about the battlefield. After all, it is… difficult to verify.

Before he met his grandfather, Ye Shuo believed that all this was just a coincidence.

As the saying goes, wealth does not last for more than three generations. It is not difficult to understand that by the third generation, due to all kinds of pampering, a family is full of mediocre people.

But now, although his grandfather was not a wise man, he could at least see things clearly. This made it difficult for Ye Shuo not to wonder if his grandfather had deliberately made his cousins ??useless.

Seventeen grandchildren…

If this is true, it is really too heartbreaking.

Looking at his cousins ??who were making a mess while eating, and then looking at his grandfather who was sitting upright, looking at everything in front of him with a smile, Ye Shuo wondered if his grandfather had ever felt the same as he did.

But this is not a long-term solution after all.

His grandfather’s goal was too big. Ye Shuo thought about it for a long time and finally decided to find a chance to talk to his unlucky cousin.

Whether it is the suspicion of his stepfather, the decision of his successor, or the future of the Duke’s Mansion, no matter which of the above situations, a way to break the deadlock is needed.

It can’t just keep rotting like this, right?

So when Ye Shuo followed Wei Wen to sneak away, the Duke of Zhen thought about it and did not stop them, and even helped to attract attention.

But at this time, the old Duke Zhen didn’t think much about it. He just thought that the arrival of his grandson might make the family better off?

the other side.

Wei Wen really couldn’t stand the foul smell in the room. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer he would be tempted to curse, so he decisively walked out to get some fresh air on the eve of the outbreak.

However, not long after, Wei Wen discovered that there seemed to be someone following him.

Wei Wen turned his head suddenly and was startled: “Your Highness, why are you here?”

“Are you in urgent need of going to the bathroom? The toilet is right here.”

Wei Wen couldn’t help but point to the west.

However, the little cousin in front of him shook his head and said bluntly: “I’m not looking for the toilet, I’m looking for you.”

As far as the current situation is concerned, my grandfather’s family can be trusted, but whether they can be used is another matter.

Therefore, Ye Shuo did not keep anyone in suspense and spoke directly.

Wei Wen looked around almost subconsciously.

As if seeing his worry, Ye Shuo said: “Don’t worry, I checked when I came here, and the guards are not here.”

Who said that His Majesty would only send guards?

Wei Wen was about to say something, but Ye Shuo spoke before him: “The secret guard you are worried about is also not here.”

This sentence contains too much content.

The perfunctory feeling in his heart faded away in an instant, and when Wei Wen looked at his little cousin again, his expression suddenly became surprised and doubtful.

“Long story short.” When dealing with smart people, you don’t need to explain too much. You just need to make your plans clear. My cousin will weigh the matter in his mind whether to participate or not.

He, his mother and the Duke of Zhen’s Mansion are all of the same blood, and their relationship is complementary. Even if his eldest cousin disagrees, he will not reveal it after hearing it.

Therefore, Ye Shuo did not hide anything and directly told everyone his plan.

At the beginning, Wei Wen listened very seriously, but as time went on, his expression became worse and worse, and more and more distorted. In the end, the corners of his mouth and eyes began to twitch to varying degrees.

It turns out that I shouldn’t have high expectations for my own children. Why can’t I learn from this? ?

If my younger brothers are just a headache, then my little cousin is completely whimsical.

See what he is talking about——

Training a person with no foundation to be an official!

Wei Wen knew every word here, but when they were put together, he suddenly couldn’t understand it.

It would have been fine if my little cousin had just talked nonsense, but the reason he gave in the end was even more outrageous.

Just for the little princess’s future marriage.

Wei Wen: “…………”

Oops.

This kid is a lunatic!

After so many idiots in the family, one finally went crazy.
