Chapter 130: Prince Jun meets his grandfather at night
The old man shook his head and sighed, "Ah, you!"
The old man’s name was Zhou Qingyang. He was the famous Duke of Zhenguo in the Dashun Dynasty and also Jun Haoxuan’s maternal grandfather.
Don't be fooled by the fact that this old man looks like he is indifferent to worldly affairs now.
Back then, he followed the late emperor to fight on the battlefield and made great contributions.
Even the current king does not dare to touch him easily.
There was no military officer in the court who did not respect him.
Ten years ago, it was this old man who learned the news before the palace coup and made a decisive decision. He sent secret guards overnight to pick up Jun Haoxuan, who was only two years old, from the Zhennan Palace and escorted him all the way to the border.
It can be considered as saving a seedling for the Jun family.
Everyone thought that it was Princess Zhennan's idea to send the child away.
In fact, the Princess of Zhennan was so frightened at that time that she had no energy to make such a bold decision.
What's more, she was pregnant at that time.
As the saying goes, pregnancy makes women stupid for three years. This is no exception for a princess.
In the past five years, Jun Haoxuan has had to return to Beijing every year to attend the emperor's birthday banquet.
However, in order not to cause trouble to my grandfather's family, I had no choice but to deliberately distance myself from my grandfather's family.
The old man raised his eyes and stared at his uninvited grandson, and asked seriously:
"Xuan'er, tell your grandfather the truth, what do you and your stubborn father think?
Can you really bear to see the kingdom that your Jun family's ancestors built destroyed by an incompetent person?"
"Grandpa, Xuan'er came to visit you late at night just to talk to you about this."
"Oh? Go ahead, Grandpa is all ears."
Jun Haoxuan stood up, walked to the window, and looked out:
"Xuan'er is unfilial and makes you worry.
In fact, Xuan'er and his father had been secretly planning a few years ago that once they regained that position, they would overthrow the old system and reform national policies.
However, our power was not strong enough at that time, so we could only keep a low profile.
Now, my father and I are not strong enough to fight against the forces of all parties.
But Xuan'er is willing to unite with people of insight and work together to restore a bright future for the people of Dashun!"
"I see! No wonder you came to see grandpa today!
You are planning to ask grandpa to win over those officials in the court who secretly support you!" The old man suddenly realized.
"Xuan'er didn't intend to hide this from you. To be exact, this is a consensus between Xuan'er and my father."
Jun Haoxuan turned around with a resolute expression on his face, "Now the time is ripe, it's time to take action!"
The old man looked at Jun Haoxuan in shock, and said in a trembling voice: "So... you... you are not decadent?"
He was so excited that he didn't know what to do.
A man in his fifties actually shed tears!
"Grandpa, why are you crying again?" Jun Haoxuan quickly handed over the handkerchief.
"Good boy." The old man wiped his eyes and said with a kind smile:
"As an old man, I can devote my life to the Dashun Empire until my death. This life is not in vain!"
"Grandpa, you are too kind!" Jun Haoxuan quickly supported the old man and comforted him, "Don't worry, Grandpa, my father and I have already made a plan."
The old man wiped his eyes and was very happy.
"So what do I need to do?"
“Grandpa, you don’t need to do anything, just accumulate power in the court.
Just wait until we succeed in taking back everything that originally belonged to us, and then you can come out again if you want.
If Xuan'er remembers correctly, you are only 56 years old this year, right?
Living a hundred years is not a dream, which means you are just in your prime now!"
"Hahahaha! Well said! I'm old but still in my prime, and I can still help you a lot when the time comes!
Ok, good, good!
Grandpa will help you deal with things here. No matter what the result is, as long as you have tried your best, you will have no regrets! "The old man made the decision.
"Don't worry, Grandpa, we will never let you down.
In addition to asking you for business today, Xuan'er also has a very important personal matter that I would like to ask Grandpa for help with!"
"Oh? What's the matter?"
"This matter is very important to Xuan'er, but it is a piece of cake for grandpa."
"Don't keep me in suspense. Tell me what you think. If Grandpa can do it, he won't refuse."
"Xuan'er would like to thank grandpa first!" Jun Haoxuan thanked sincerely.
"...Grandpa, do you know why Xuan'er has rarely returned to the palace in recent years?"
"This... ? Grandpa doesn't know! Why is this?" Duke Zhenguo asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Jun Haoxuan looked helpless:
"Every time I go back, my mother keeps nagging me, saying that I have reached the age where I understand human affairs.
She selected a large number of maids for me, and even kept my cousin from my aunt's family at home, saying that she would be my prince's consort in the future.
It makes Xuan'er look like a stud!
Seeing those beautiful women makes me want to vomit!"
Jun Haoxuan's face was full of disgust, and then he said in a firm tone:
“Xuan Er never thought about marrying any cousin.
Xuan'er already has someone in his heart.
The Crown Prince's Consort in the future can only be someone I choose, and Xuan'er will no longer have anything to do with any other woman.
I just want to be with her for the rest of my life."
The Duke of Zhenguo's eyes widened, his mouth trembled, and finally he laughed out loud:
"What? You already have someone in your heart? Whose girl is she? Are you so lucky?
Hahaha!
Your mother is worrying about nothing!
She really thinks you are a stud!
Hahaha! It’s good to have someone you love!
I will bring it to grandpa someday when I have the chance. Who is this person who has made our Xuan'er so obsessed that he wants to be with her forever? "
Jun Haoxuan nodded firmly: "We will have a chance to meet in the future. It's just that it's not that she is lucky, but it's Xuan'er's blessing to know her."
"Really? That makes grandpa even more curious! Think about it, in my Dashun Kingdom, I have never heard of any girl who is outstanding enough to deserve Xuan'er's praise. Could it be..." The Duke of Zhenguo's eyes widened!
Jun Haoxuan immediately interrupted his thoughts: "What are you thinking about, Grandpa? That girl is naturally a citizen of Dashun. She's just not in the capital."
"Oh? Could he be a descendant of some new-world family?"
Thinking of the little girl's identity, Jun Haoxuan raised the corner of his mouth:
"Grandpa, please don't make random guesses. You just need to know one thing: you and I, grandparents and grandchildren combined, are no match for him."
The Duke of Zhenguo couldn't believe his ears: "Xuan'er, have you lost your mind due to lust? Do you know what you are saying?"
Jun Haoxuan's lips curled slightly: "Xuan'er's words are not enough to express half of her ability, you know?
All the women in the capital combined, no matter in terms of martial arts or talent, would be instantly defeated by her!"
Upon hearing this, the Duke of Zhenguo took a breath and said, "Isn't that a fairy descending to earth?"
Jun Haoxuan said proudly:
"Grandpa, you guessed it right.
Although she is not a fairy who has descended to the earth, she is a disciple of a god.
It was she who persuaded Xuan'er not to start a war and harm innocent people.
Let me find a way to break down that man's fortress from within.
Try to take the throne without losing a single soldier!"
The Duke of Zhenguo was horrified: "Could it be that she wants to use you to easily get the position of queen?"
