Chapter 181: Red face and troubled water, self-inflicted amorous
"You can't live if you've done your own iniquity! Do you think I don't know anything? The emperor flicked his sleeves in annoyance, and then turned away from him.
Prime Minister Zhang was stunned when he heard the emperor say this, but suddenly laughed hysterically.
"Okay, okay, if you trust me enough, how can you send someone to monitor my whereabouts!" Prime Minister Zhang had mixed feelings in his heart, and couldn't help but think of the time when he was trusted by the emperor. Although he is still above 10,000 people under one person, the civil and military officials don't know anything, but his heart has long been like a mirror.
"I don't want to say much to you, if you have anything to say, tell the truth!" The emperor closed his eyes, and then walked in the direction of the main throne, no longer looking at him.
Zhang Chengxiang still laughed wildly, since he got acquainted with Qi Ying, he had expected that there would be today, but this day came too quickly. I don't know if Qi Ying overestimated him, or if King Chu Lin and his princess were too alert and cunning.
Zhang Chengxiang was finally forcibly dragged out, and Concubine Ding was still coaxing Su Shiyuan just now, and she was already scared into a cold sweat at this moment.
"This Zhang Lu turned out to be such a person, fortunately, the emperor was wise and caught him in time, otherwise such a person is really a black sheep!" Concubine Ding's voice was a little low, and she explained awkwardly and excitedly.
Concubine Ding's words fell, and the few people standing around didn't speak, Concubine Ding suddenly felt even more embarrassed, reached out and took out a handkerchief and played with it twice, and then stuffed it into her arms.
"Shiyuan, this palace is also the emperor's favorite concubine, and she is also more than half of your mother-in-law, just because she didn't treat you as an outsider, so she said that, don't mind!" Concubine Ding relied on her courage to come to Su Shiyuan's side, and after seeing the situation in front of her clearly, how dare she offend her.
The corners of Su Shiyuan's lips hooked, and she smiled at her, Concubine Ding saw that she looked kind, and her heart fell a little when she mentioned her throat, and she quickly bared her teeth at Su Shiyuan.
"Concubine Dingniang is too worried." Su Shiyuan said slowly, no matter what, don't tear your face in front of the emperor for the time being, today's matter is obvious, I believe the emperor has already seen what kind of person Concubine Ding is.
"Shiyuan is really well-behaved and sensible!" Concubine Ding looked at her with a blank eye, and her heart was very comfortable. The two of them don't have any deep hatred, and she and Prime Minister Zhang have no special dealings, they have always wanted to instigate Zhang Ziyan to snatch her position and favor in order to hit Meng Guifei, but now it seems that the heat is still almost, and it is not as easy as she thought.
Concubine Ding just wanted to hold Su Shiyuan's hand, but she was frightened by the emperor's fierce eyes.
"What is the matter with you?" The emperor's tone was cold, and Concubine Ding quickly retracted her hand when she heard this, and lowered her head slightly.
The emperor kept staring at her, and Concubine Ding saw that things were not good, so she quickly leaned towards the emperor softly.
"Your Majesty, look at what you said, don't you miss the concubine, you don't go to see the concubine, and the concubine has to come." Concubine Ding's tone was soft, Su Shiyuan and Chu Lin glanced at each other, and then hugged their arms, which really gave them goosebumps.
"I've been busy lately, I don't have time to see you, I know you're weird." The emperor looked at her faintly, in fact, he already knew her character, women are born to compete for favor, but it is too hateful to do whatever it takes to compete for favor.
"Sister Guifei spent the night with the emperor yesterday, and the emperor just doesn't like concubines." Concubine Ding stretched out her hand to hug the emperor's waist, Chu Lin immediately coughed lightly, and the eunuchs and palace maids who were kneeling on the ground all lowered their heads.
Concubine Ding's coquettishness, all the people in the hall couldn't stand it, and even Su Shiyuan lowered her head with a red face.
"That's it! Since you're fine, go down first. The emperor reached out to push her away with some displeasure, and Concubine Ding nodded, although she was a little disappointed in her heart, but it was a blessing that she had just spoken so ugly and was not held accountable by the emperor.
"Yes, the concubine is retired!" Concubine Ding blessed the emperor and hurriedly retreated.
"Get up, all of you!" The emperor then looked at the eunuchs and palace maids who were still kneeling on the ground and said.
The chief eunuch kneeling in front took the lead in kowtowing to the emperor and hurriedly took the lead in thanking him, and the palace people behind also hurriedly bowed to the emperor.
The emperor then waved his hand, and all the palace people who had just stood up withdrew from the main hall.
"Shiyuan, thanks to your wit this time, otherwise that Zhang Lu would not be reconciled." The emperor turned his head to look at Su Shiyuan, Chu Lin clenched her fingertips at this time, Su Shiyuan looked up at Chu Lin and pursed his lips.
"Father, in fact, this time it was also a mistake, Shiyuan wanted to come to apologize to you, but I didn't expect Prime Minister Zhang Cheng to slander me, which is what happened later." Su Shiyuan explained, and bursts of guilt welled up in her heart.
If the emperor is very strict, maybe she still thinks this is normal.
"It's all a family, I'm honest, there is loss, your mother and concubine have already told me yesterday, and you are also unintentional, even if this matter is over." The emperor turned around, tilting his head slightly, as if thinking about something.
"Thank you, Father!" Su Shiyuan's heart suddenly brightened, she has been uncomfortable in her heart since this matter was known by everyone, not because she was sad because she was exposed, she was most afraid that the emperor and Meng Guifei would be lost because of this matter, which was the last thing she wanted to see.
"Shiyuan, you just wait here." The emperor was already dressed at this time, and the palace people who had just exited were all behind the palace.
Su Shiyuan looked at the hour, it was already the time of the last dynasty at this time, and it really couldn't be delayed any longer.
"No need, I'll go back to my mother to talk to her, father, go and get busy!" Su Shiyuan hurriedly replied.
"It's good!" The emperor nodded and took the lead in the front. Chu Lin suddenly stopped when he walked past her, quickly kissed her on the forehead, and then smiled evilly, and quickly followed the emperor's footsteps.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Above the court, all the civil and military officials had arrived, and the emperor sat on the dragon chair and looked down
Shang Gao sat on the dragon chair and looked down on everyone.
"All Aiqing, let's be flat!" As soon as the emperor raised his hand, all the ministers stood up.
"All the Aiqing are here, right?" The emperor looked down and said, the chief eunuch standing on the side snorted, but he still held back.
"Back to the emperor, the prime minister hasn't come yet, I don't know what the reason is." The emperor's words fell, and a minister standing below took a step and reported to the emperor.
After hearing this, the emperor suddenly sneered, and the minister looked at him in shock, but quickly lowered his head again.
"The Prime Minister didn't come, I know why." The emperor looked at Chu Lin, and his voice was a little loud.
The civil and military officials carefully stared at the emperor's actions and expressions, and all kinds of speculations were in their hearts.
The emperor first looked at Prince Lin, and it must be that Prince Lin also knew the reason. It may also be because of the matter of the prince that the emperor and the prime minister got into a stalemate, before the prime minister always wanted to be in-laws with the emperor, but the prince has always disagreed, and he locked up the prime minister's baby daughter very facelessly, and this grudge must have been formed at that time.
Everyone speculated and thought, after the emperor said this, no one dared to continue talking.
"Zhang Lu has committed a crime and tried to murder me, and he has been locked up by me, which of you has any objection?" The emperor looked at the ministers below coldly, and all the adults were shocked like thunder when they heard this!
"The ministers have no objection! The Emperor Mingjian! There was no one speaking among the ministers for a long time, and suddenly a minister stood up from the crowd.
The emperor snorted, and his expression became more stern. "Mingjian? Looks like you know quite a bit. ”
"Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged!" The minister threw himself on his knees and hurriedly explained.
"Take it down and interrogate it slowly!" The emperor gave an order, and the guards guarding in front of him had already stood up and immediately dragged the minister out.
Everyone thought that the emperor and Prime Minister Zhang Cheng were really brothers, and they couldn't imagine that everything was an illusion, but they couldn't tell whether it was Prime Minister Zhang Cheng who was the rebel or the emperor who was the first to be suspicious and wanted to get rid of him, but now it doesn't matter.
"Who else has something to do?" The emperor looked down sternly, and the civil and military officials were all frightened when they saw this, the minister just now was Prime Minister Zhang Cheng's henchman, and there were some of his people below, it seems that the emperor knows everything.
"Father, now that Prime Minister Zhang Cheng's matter is a foregone conclusion, Da Chu can't always be without a prime minister." Just when everyone was very nervous, Chu Lin, who was standing at the front, suddenly took a step towards the emperor.
"Emperor, what do you think?" The emperor said slowly, and everyone looked at him with expectant eyes. Looking around, I don't know who is the most trusted person in the court, if who is the next prime minister, then it is very likely that Prime Minister Zhang is the secret he reported.
"Erchen has a suitable candidate here, I believe you adults must have heard of him." Chu Lin turned to look at everyone, and the civil and military officials bowed towards him one after another.
"The more you speak, the more curious I become, who is this Magi?" The emperor really didn't know about this matter, and a lot of people came to mind for a while, but he didn't know which one it was.
"He used to be the prime minister of the Qin State before, Su Li." Chu Lin didn't say much, and directly said the thoughts that had been brewing in his heart for a long time.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, if they heard it correctly, isn't this the father-in-law of Lord Lin? It's really surprising that he did this, and when I think about it, this can be regarded as a fertile water that doesn't flow into the fields of outsiders, but he is a native of Qin after all!
"Su Li is known for his virtuous and benevolent nature, and I think that the Qin State was still very prosperous at the beginning, and it has a lot to do with my in-laws." The emperor did not shy away from it, and directly called Su Li his in-laws.
mentioned Su Li, and the emperor's mind came to mind Su Shiyuan's witty and fearless appearance, it turned out that the good genes were here.
"What my father said is very true, my father-in-law is now in the son-in-law's mansion, and the son-in-law has indeed felt his extraordinaryness after getting along these days, so I risked the possibility of being rumored to say this idea today." Chu Lin bowed his hand to the emperor, he had not discussed this matter with his father-in-law, but this was indeed his true words.
"Su Li is indeed a virtuous minister, and Da Chu really can't do without the prime minister, so let Su Li temporarily take the position of prime minister. I believe in the Emperor's vision and his talents. The emperor did not hesitate, even Chu Lin was a little surprised.
He just said with the mentality of trying it out, thinking that his father would reject him because he was from Qin, but he didn't expect this result to be really gratifying.
"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor!" The civil and military officials below have already seen things thoroughly, and as soon as Prime Minister Zhang Cheng fell, no one was in a hurry to do a senseless struggle, and everyone shouted long live.
So much had happened this morning that almost everyone couldn't fully digest it.
After Chu Lin got out of the morning court, he hurried to his mother's bedroom, and Su Shiyuan was standing in the courtyard bored, pitifully blowing the cold wind.
"Little fool, why are you standing outside?" Su Shiyuan looked up at the sky, suddenly felt a tightness in her waist, and there was already warm breathing in her ears, the man pressed his hot cheeks against her neck, alternating between cold and hot, Su Shiyuan couldn't help but shrink her neck and shivered.
Chu Lin felt that she felt even more uncomfortable like this, so he took off his coat and wrapped her inside.
"Put it on, it'll freeze!" Su Shiyuan reached out and was about to take off the coat on her body, but the man was one step ahead of her, took the lead in holding her hand, and stopped her next movements.
Su Shiyuan couldn't, so she had to look at him with her big eyes.
Chu Lin looked at her being frozen like a little white rabbit, and his heart became more and more fond of it. Stretched out her hand and breathed, and after it was warm, she covered her hand, and a warm feeling instantly spread from the skin on the palm, and Su Shiyuan felt that it was simply warm in her heart.
Heart.
"I'm strong and strong, I won't freeze, don't you know Xiao Yuan'er?" Chu Lin stepped forward and rubbed her cheek, Su Shiyuan's face flushed, but she still didn't dodge.
"Come in, it's cold outside!" Meng Guifei stood at the door of the main hall at this time and called, and the two of them looked over there together, and Meng Guifei had already walked over.
"Just now we were walking in the hall together, and I didn't expect that the person would disappear in a blink of an eye, I think she must have run out because she was worried about you. Come in and say, it's too cold outside. Meng Guifei took Su Shiyuan's other hand and said.
Su Shiyuan shook her head, "Mother, let's go back first, and then come back to see you and my father." ”
Chu Lin expected that she would definitely think so, and agreed with her idea, so he also nodded.
"But I didn't even drink the tea." Meng Guifei suddenly became reluctant, she recently discovered that Shiyuan's child was actually quite cheerful, just like a pistachio.
"Mother, we are a family, how can there be those false courtesies, it is easy to enter the palace, the palace and the palace are not far away, you can come at any time." Chu Lin looked at her with a look of loss and hurriedly explained.
But now there are more important things to go back to, after all, his father-in-law has been named prime minister, and even he doesn't know about it, so he has to go and talk to him quickly.
I believe that with his old man's reasonableness, he will definitely agree.
Prime Minister Su worked hard to be the prime minister of the Qin State, and he was already heartbroken, I don't know if he will resist the position of prime minister this time.
"Alright then, slow down." Meng Guifei told her a thousand times, and Chu Lin and the two nodded hurriedly.
Chu Lin briefly told her something about what happened in the court on the carriage, and Su Shiyuan was also shocked, and the coachman accelerated his march and quickly rushed towards the palace, while another carriage was passing by them.
"Regent, you see that carriage seems to be King Chulin's!" Yan Niangzi opened the curtain after hearing the obvious sound of horses' hooves, and saw that the carriage that flashed in front of her was a little familiar, and she couldn't help but think of Chu Lin.
Although the weather is getting colder now, the woman is still wearing the same red dress as before, which does not cover the flesh, which looks even more sultry in this cold season.
The woman moved her legs, and the bright red color contrasted sharply with the white and tender legs.
Qi Ying sneered, and then fixed his gaze on Yan Niangzi.
"This king found that as long as you mention Chu Lin, your eyes will light up." Qi Ying also found the carriage, but as soon as he saw Chu Lin, his heart was in a panic, which was completely different from the woman's excitement.
Yan Niangzi straightened her legs and pursed her lips. "Is there still a woman in the world who is not excited to hear the name of King Chu Lin? The regent is a man, of course he doesn't understand. ”
"You're relieved, you're always looking for reasons for your nymphomaniac." Qi Ying doesn't speak well, but fortunately, she has a good temper.
The woman sneered, and suddenly reached out and wrapped her arms around the man's neck, wrapping around it like a silver snake.
"Regent, can the little girl understand that you are jealous?" The beautiful lady pouted her red lips, and this silent temptation seemed to be something that no man could resist, but the man in front of her pushed her aside.
"Self-inflicted!" The man threw out a sentence in a cold tone, but the woman didn't think so, reached out and pulled the hem of her skirt, and then sat there as if she hadn't heard anything, stretched out her hand and lifted the curtain, and looked at the fast-moving scenery outside the window as if nothing.
"The little woman is self-inflicted, but there is no big loss in her self-inflicted amorousness, I am afraid that I will lose my wife and lose my soldiers." As soon as Yan Niangzi's words came out, Qi Ying's face was obviously difficult to look at, and he had already heard what she was saying.
"What do you mean by that? Could it be that Zhang Lu was arrested that this king wants to see? It's all because he's so useless, I really don't know how he became the prime minister! The more Qi Ying thought about it, the more he felt that it was not worth it, he hadn't done anything big with Zhang Lu, and he was served by someone just now, which was really uncomfortable.
"It's not that people are useless, the blame can only be blamed on that Chu Emperor for being too cunning, he must have had a conflict with that Prime Minister Zhang Cheng before, otherwise he wouldn't have been suspicious of him." Yan Niangzi guessed and said what she thought in her heart.
After hearing this, Qi Ying suddenly clenched his fists, and the whole person was very ruthless. "These are all trivial things, and the fault is all on that Su Shiyuan! Disaster in disguise! ”
