Chapter 388: Father and Son Resist the Decree
Emperor Wu's words were full of kindness, and as if he remembered something, he asked casually, "By the way, Chengen seems to be called Zixian and should be called cousin, right?"
Since Emperor Wu has become more and more fond of Wang Danyang, he has followed Wang Danyang to participate in the Tao, and he has to write green words to worship the heavens.
Li Chengen has often been in and out of the inner palace in the past two years, and often writes green words and submits them. The green words he presented were gorgeous and were well received by Emperor Wu.
When Emperor Wu sought Taoism in the palace a few times, he also asked him to follow on the side, faintly thinking that he was a junior.
"Princess Yuan Jing is the sister of her mother, if you talk about it in detail, the minister should indeed call the second son of King Jing his cousin. Zhou Ming smiled and explained in one sentence that he and Li Chengen were not cousins, but the relationship was not stiff.
Emperor Wu nodded, "No wonder I've heard Cheng En talk about you many times, he said that you have a straightforward temperament, and you are most afraid of restraint." ”
Emperor Wu put on a gossip and homely meaning, and the atmosphere in the imperial study was relaxed.
King Cheng is also smart, and hurriedly smiled and said, "I don't understand the rules and manners at all, so the saint indulges him to allow him to be like this." He turned his head to Zhou Ming and said, "It's just at home, what does the royal front look like." ”
Emperor Wu waved his hand, "Young and undetermined, he looks like this, don't talk about him, Chengen used to play chess with me, and he still had to rely on three sons." However, two days ago, Cheng En came to see me, and he looked much calmer, and he has grown a lot since he married his wife last year. ”
As he spoke, he looked at Zhou Ming casually, and said to King Cheng, "Zixian is twenty years old this year, have you ever been married?"
King Cheng's father and son heard Emperor Wu suddenly ask about this, the two looked at each other, and King Cheng said with a smile, "He has been fighting for the past two years, and he has served the country first, but he has not yet decided on a marriage." The minister consulted with his mother, intending to see it in the next two years. ”
"Zixian is a young general in Yongding, you can't be sloppy. I met King Fu at the Queen Mother's place yesterday, and I heard that his family Anping has never been married! Anping I have seen him a few times in the inner garden, and he is good-looking, and he is also well-read......
When Zhou Ming heard this, his heart became more and more uneasy, if he let the saint continue, wait for the saint to say the words of marriage. As soon as the emperor Chrysostom opened, his words became a decree, and if he opened his mouth again, wouldn't it be a protest?
He couldn't care about his father's forbearance in his eyes, for fear that it would be too late to speak, so he interjected loudly, "Holy Lord, the minister has someone he likes!"
Before Emperor Wu finished speaking, Zhou Ming's interjection was a great crime of disrespect.
When Zhou Dingkang heard Emperor Wu's words, he was worried that his son would not be able to hold his breath, and seeing that he really offended Long Yan, he hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty, "Zhou Ming lost his honor in front of the emperor, and the saint atonemented!"
Emperor Wu narrowed his eyes, but he didn't get angry immediately, and asked softly, "When did Zixian have someone he liked?"
Zhou Dingkang glared at Zhou Ming and scolded, "Marriage is a big event, isn't it child's play? When did you have this thought, why didn't you say it at home?" and turned his head to look at Emperor Wu and said, "The Holy Atonement, after this bastard boy joined the Tiger Ben Army, except for the words of the Holy One, no one dares to stand up to it." The minister begged the Holy Lord to let him resign from his post as the lieutenant general of the Tiger Ben Army and let him go back to the north for two years. ”
Zhou Dingkang's words were naturally a sycophant of Emperor Wu.
The Tiger Ben Army is the guard of Emperor Wu's cronies, and it is superior to others. He said that after Zhou Ming joined the Tiger Ben Army, he became a daring person to speak to him, which was naturally equivalent to saying that he relied on Emperor Wu's support.
As for resigning from the post of the Tiger Benjun and returning to the north, no one will take it seriously.
Zhou Ming listened to his father's words, beat the snake with the stick, and said to Emperor Wu, "Holy Lord, the minister has someone he likes in his heart, but his father and mother may not allow it." The minister begged for a grace from the saint, don't give the minister other rewards, and make a decree that the minister's marriage should be decided by the minister, right?"
"Why, what do you mean by this, that even your parents can't interfere in your marriage?"
"The Holy Master, the minister's parents are very pedantic. Zhou Ming said complainingly.
Emperor Wu smiled and said, "Since you are not satisfied with your parents' decision, why don't I make the decision for you?"
Zhou Ming didn't expect that he just said that he had a favorite person, and Emperor Wu still didn't change his intention to give marriage, he knelt down and said, "Back to the saint, the county lord of Anping heard that it was good." It's just that the minister is a rough man, he doesn't know how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he can't see the beauty and ugliness in front of the minister. ”
"Hehe, as I said, a person's appearance is beautiful and ugly, as long as he has eyes, he can see it. Why don't I call Anping and let you see?"
Zhou Ming looked at it like this, Emperor Wu's intention to marry would not change, and the hint of being able to be so kind and pleasant was already to give the palace face.
But if he agrees to give him a marriage...... He gritted his teeth, knelt down and said, "Holy Lord, the minister is not worthy of the county lord of Anping!"
Emperor Wu didn't expect Zhou Ming to dare to be so ignorant, he persuaded him gently, he dared to speak out against the decree, he snorted, raised his head slightly, and two cold eyes stared at Zhou Ming, his eyes were uncertain.
Zhou Dingkang saw this situation, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "The saint is angry, the minister has no way to teach the son, cultivate his temperament!
said again and again, and asked Zhou Ming to excuse himself.
Zhou Ming had no choice but to open his mouth and say "Holy Atonement".
"Zhou Dingkang, what do you think of the county lord of Anping? Anping is also the county lord of our Li family, can he be the princess of the Cheng Palace?" Emperor Wu asked while staring straight at Zhou Dingkang.
Zhou Dingkang was stunned for a moment, if he said no, wouldn't he mean that the Chengwang Mansion was extremely arrogant, and even the county lord of the clan surnamed Li couldn't look down on it?
If he says yes...... Looking at his son looking at himself with a pleading face, that look, as if if he nodded, he would be desperate.
He was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and replied, "Holy Lord, the county lord of Anping is naturally good. It's just that...... It's just that the rebel son is eccentric, and he is not worthy of the county lord. Wouldn't it be a sin to delay the happiness of the county lord?"
"Good! Very good! Sure enough!" Emperor Wu only felt that he had lost face, and he had the intention to let people pull King Cheng's father and son down and cut them down, but he was just suspicious, but he was not crazy.
Zhou Ming had just led the army to quell the rebellion, and he killed King Cheng's father and son, which was really a loss of the hearts of the people and the hearts of the people. But if you don't kill it, won't it make King Cheng's father and son have nothing to fear in the future, and feel that it's okay to resist the decree and disrespect it?
He only felt that the king's father and son were hateful, relying on merit and relying on himself that they would not dare to kill them, and they would dare to resist the decree and disrespect!
King Cheng's father and son knelt down, and Emperor Wu sat on the dragon chair, and there was silence inside and outside the imperial study for a while.
When the atmosphere was solidifying, a little eunuch outside quietly walked in, attached it to Kang Shun's ear, and whispered a few words.
Kang Shun hesitated slightly, leaned over to Emperor Wu's side, and whispered, "Shengshang, Li Chengyun, the eldest son of King Jing, and Li Chengen, the second son, are waiting at the bottom of the stairs. ”
It's a miracle that Lee Seung-yoon and Lee Seung-eun will come together.
