Chapter 163: The Ministers Admonish
In the upper study, Chengzong sat on the dragon chair, his hands tightly grasped the armrests of the two steps, his face was pale, his body leaned forward slightly, looked at the kneeling ministers below, glared angrily, and said: "What a big boldness, how many times have I said it, when will it be your turn to take care of my private affairs!"
A group of ministers headed by Wang Bichi, the right minister, prostrated tightly on the ground, but said in an extremely loud voice: "The matter of the Son of Heaven is the matter of the whole world, and besides, when the emperor was at the age of the saint, he had already made the saint the crown prince, so please ask the saint to consider the national society and the new draft girl to continue the lifeline of my dynasty." ”
"Bastard!" Chengzong couldn't listen to others using the emperor to suppress him, so he stood up angrily, pointed at Wang Bichi's nose and scolded: "When will it be your turn to teach me a lesson!" Wang Bichi, I see that your injuries are not healed, you should continue to go home and recuperate!"
Wang Bichi raised his head, looked at Chengzong without the slightest fear, although his face was full of wrinkles, he could not see the slightest weakness, and said firmly: "The old minister is old, and he plans to return to his hometown in the near future, but he thinks that before he resigns, he will see that the heirs of my Zhou Dynasty are extended, and he can rest assured!
Wang Bichi's righteous words were not afraid at all, and the ministers below also shouted together: "Please think twice!"
It stands to reason that at this point, the ministers admonished, and the emperor should also listen to some of them, and what these ministers said is not unreasonable, but if Chengzong agreed like this, he couldn't help but feel very aggrieved in his heart, and it happened that because of yesterday, Lingxi mentioned this matter to him, and at that time he resolutely refused. In addition, he always felt that today's events were quite strange, and after the court, all the ministers in the court and the central government admonished him because of this matter, which inevitably made him feel that someone was making trouble behind this matter.
In fact, Chengzong guessed right, today's ministers admonished him to draft a girl, and it was indeed someone behind him, and this person was exactly Lingxi.
After the quarrel with Chengzong yesterday, Lingxi always felt unhappy, and as soon as he sat down, he asked the little eunuch in the palace to prepare the carriage and horse, and took Xiaoxi out of the palace, and the place where he went was Ning Wangfu.
The carriage slowly drove to the gate of King Ning's mansion, and the attendant who guarded the door naturally recognized that it was the carriage in the palace, and hurriedly greeted it, and saw that the person who came down was the concubine who was favored in the palace.
"Lingfei Niangniang is a thousand years old, I don't know if Niangniang is visiting today, but what's the matter?" King Ning looked at Lingxi with a smile.
"The prince is polite, I really have something important to discuss when I came here today. Lingxi smiled slightly, and with Xiao Xi's support, he got out of the carriage.
"Oh, but the whereabouts of the Dragon Balls?" asked King Ning in a low voice, turning to the side.
Lingxi shook his head, did not speak, but walked straight to the mansion.
King Ning frowned slightly, so he followed, and after taking his seat, Lingxi asked with a smile: "Lord Wang, do you know where is the mansion of the right minister Wang Bichi?" ”
King Ning was a little surprised, raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, Lord Wang, I'm afraid I'm still lying on the bed now! ”
Lingxi couldn't help but hide his face and laugh, he still remembered that day in the study, he kicked the old man hard, thinking that he should also recuperate in bed now.
"I don't know what Concubine Ling is looking for Lord Wang, although Lord Wang is pedantic, he is also a rare good official!" King Ning said meaningfully as he looked at Ling Xi.
Lingxi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I naturally don't want to trouble Lord Wang, but there are some things to ask him for help, as for what it is, I believe that the prince will know tomorrow." ”
