Chapter 215: Unfathomable
Wen Shan, the head of the Shu Kingdom, was standing closest to Xiao Hong, so he could see Xiao Hong's subtle expression clearly, and Wen Shan couldn't help but sigh secretly: It seems that there is going to be a war in the palace. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The relationship between the crown prince Xiao Dikai and the second prince Xiao Diyuan has always been not harmonious, and now the emperor said that they are allowed to go to the early court together, and the two will definitely quarrel from time to time due to different political views, and if the dispute is severe, it will definitely hurt the brotherhood between the two.
Wen Shan couldn't suppress the worry in his heart after all, and went out to admonish him: "Your Majesty, the crown prince and the second highness are only fourteen years old, you might as well give them two years to go to the people first, and then go to the court every day to discuss politics after they have a certain understanding of the people of Shu Kingdom?"
Seeing that the emperor did not express his position, Wen Shan said: "If they do not know much about the people's situation in the country, how can they have in-depth discussions with the officials of various ministries? Let alone give the most practical solution." ā
Two old ministers also agreed with Wenshan's statement, and immediately came out to agree, asking the emperor to reconsider the matter.
The two ministers who had previously proposed to let the crown prince and the second prince go to the early court were anxious when they heard it, and they immediately came out to refute it, and for a while, the court only heard the sound of the four people arguing gently.
Gradually, everyone also knew that Wenshan's suggestion was preferable, after all, giving the crown prince and the second prince two years of opportunity to observe the people's feelings was excellent for both of them. But some people immediately joined the opposing camp, they thought that the crown prince was the future crown prince, and it should be the prince who should be aware of the people's feelings.
As soon as the minister said this, several ministers came out to refute it, they thought that the second prince was strategic, and let him know more about the country's people's situation so that he could better assist the monarch in the future.
Immediately, another person angrily countered: "I'm afraid that it will not be an assistant but a threat at that time, right?"
As soon as such sharp words came out, the audience suddenly fell silent.
No one dared to answer this, so everyone hurriedly peeked at the emperor to see how he would respond.
The emperor snorted, changed his sitting posture, and said slowly: "I have listened to all Aiqing's words, and I will not change the decision of letting the crown prince and the second prince go to the court as soon as possible, but I am also very willing to give them the opportunity to go to the people to understand the people's feelings, but this requires careful discussion before making a decision." ā
Since the emperor said so, the ministers did not say anything more.
Xiao Hong then announced his retirement from the dynasty.
Soon, the news of 'going to the early court' reached the crown prince Xiao Dikai, who jumped up from his seat and trotted to see his mother Liu.
Liu was also very happy to hear this, shook the prince's hand and said, "My son finally has the opportunity to express his political opinions in front of the ministers." ā
"Yes, yes, the child will definitely behave well. Xiao Di nodded hurriedly, and at the same time, he snorted coldly in his heart: "Second brother, wait and see." ā
Over there, when the second prince Xiao Diyuan's personal father-in-law learned the news, he immediately went to find Xiao Diyuan under the big banyan tree in the imperial garden.
At this time, Xiao Diyuan was sitting on a thick branch on the big banyan tree, looking intently at the book in his hand.
However, when Ding Cong approached, he immediately noticed it, so he turned his gaze from the book to Ding Cong.
Ding Cong looked at the place where Xiao Diyuan was from under the tree, and said: "Second Highness, this morning in the court, a minister proposed to His Majesty that you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince go to the morning court every day, and His Majesty agreed, so you will go to the morning court from tomorrow." ā
Xiao Diyuan slowly closed the book and said, "Okay, I know." ā
Without the slightest panic, nor did he show the slightest heaviness and sadness, Xiao Diyuan seemed to have learned something that had nothing to do with him.
Ding Cong couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
With Xiao Diyuan's cleverness, it was impossible for him not to know what it meant for him to go to the early dynasty and what he would face, but his reaction was so calm.
"Second Highness," Ding Cong leaned closer to the trunk of the tree and said to him, "If you go to the Morning Dynasty, I'm afraid His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not give you good fruits to eat, so you must be very careful at that time." ā
Although the prince's ability, courage and pattern are all under Xiao Diyuan, he is the prince after all, and it is himself who will suffer if he offends him.
Xiao Diyuan smiled slightly when he heard this, and said, "I know." ā
Immediately, Xiao Diyuan put the book in his pocket, and the whole person came down from under the tree like a monkey. When he went down to the earth, he said, "I have a letter to send, come with me." ā
Ding Cong immediately followed.
Xiao Diyuan took him to turn left and right in the imperial garden, and soon reached a small flat land, Xiao Diyuan squatted down in front of a stone slab in the flat field, grabbed a handful of bright red sea red beans the size of his little finger from the stone slab, and then got up and went to his residence.
"Second Highness, did you put these red beans here to dry?" Ding Cong asked as he walked.
I'm afraid that only Xiao Diyuan in the whole palace will do this kind of thing.
There is a sea red bean planted in the imperial garden, which was planted by Xiao Diyuan three years ago, and now it is the ripening period of the beans, so the branches are full of bunches of red fruits. In the past, few people were interested in seeing it, so they didn't care if it blossomed or not. Only Xiao Diyuan, like a gardener, knows the growth of every plant in the imperial garden.
The plants here should be thanked to him, if it weren't for him, I'm afraid that several of them would have been destroyed by pests in the past few years, Ding Cong couldn't help but think like this when he walked into this imperial garden several times.
"Hmm. Xiao Diyuan replied simply, and his footsteps did not stop.
Back at his residence, Xiao Diyuan asked Ding Cong to fetch a small tool that could drill holes and a red rope.
Ding Cong hurriedly asked, "Is Your Royal Highness going to string these red beans?"
"Well, I want to make a necklace. Xiao Diyuan said.
Isn't a necklace made of red beans a lovesick necklace?
Ding Cong had an expression of disbelief.
What? His Royal Highness wants to make a lovesick necklace? Does he make it for himself or give it away?
"Second Highness, why did you suddenly think of making an acacia necklace?" Ding Cong asked cautiously.
Xiao Diyuan glanced at him and said, "You want to take care of it?"
Ding Cong hurriedly said: "The slave doesn't dare, the slave will go and get it for you." With that, he slipped through his cigarette and went to the tool room.
After Ding Cong brought the tools, Xiao Diyuan began to drill holes for sea red beans.
Ding Cong wanted to come forward to help, but he refused, and he wanted to do it himself.
Ding Cong had no choice but to endure his curiosity and silently watch him do it on the side, while thinking in his heart: "Don't look at His Royal Highness Second Highness is chic and heroic on weekdays, but he also has such a delicate side in private. ā
