Chapter 18: The Honest Man
The emperor opened his mouth and it was a holy decree, but it made the eunuch slightly stunned: they didn't know who the emperor wanted to give the throne to.
Ah Feng saluted, and Jiang Ming also saluted: both of them are standing, who does the emperor want to sit?
The emperor didn't say that who would dare to ask? The little eunuchs could only go to see Zhang Youde and Zhang Gonggong on the emperor's side.
Zhang Youde's brows furrowed, these little rabbit cubs usually look very clever, but now why have they become wooden heads? He glared slightly, and several little eunuchs hurriedly moved two embroidered stools out.
When Concubine De saw it, she turned her head in disbelief: "Your Majesty! β
She cried and talked in front of the emperor for a long time, all in vain - Ah Feng, this cheap maid, and Jiang Ming, this kid, actually had a seat in front of the emperor!
The emperor leaned back, half leaned and half lay on the throne, raised his eyelids and glanced at Concubine De: "Concubine Ai, what's wrong?" β
The tepid tone is as if she is saying to Concubine De that we will eat vegetarian at noon today?
Concubine De pointed at Jiang Ming: "He took a horse to charge into Tianfu and Wushuang, and he also shot at Tianfu and Wushuang, and the spear stabbed at the heads of the two princessesβisn't this Mu Wujun?" β
"This son has a heart of disobedience, otherwise he will never be rude to Her Royal Highness the Princess." When she said this, she fell to her knees on the ground, her eyes full of tears: "The concubine asks the emperor to condemn him and make decisions for Tianfu and Wushuang." β
"How is it a trivial matter for the two princesses, and the majesty of the royal family is a big matter, Your Majesty. If this matter is not punished, won't it make people think that the royal family can be bullied? β
"In the long run, it will be a big disaster, Your Majesty." Concubine De is clearly for personal grudges, but she wants to be involved with any royal family or country.
Ah Feng didn't frown, because this is the norm in the palace, and he is used to hearing it when he sees it a lot.
The emperor let out a soft "oh": "It makes sense, then according to what Concubine Ai sees, what should be done with Jiang Ming?" β
Concubine De perked up when she heard this: "Kill one and make an example!" β
The emperor finally looked up at Jiang Ming.
Ah Feng also raised his head, and for the first time, he saw what his father's face looked like so clearly.
Those eyes? Her heart trembled slightly, and she never imagined that there was a hint of meaning in her father's eyes: there was no anger, no anger at all.
Although she had never gotten along with the emperor, she could still see clearly what was in the emperor's eyes at a glance.
There was a sound of "pop", and it was the emperor who threw the fold in his hand on the table: "Jiang Ming, are you guilty?!" His voice suddenly raised, and the aftermath that echoed in the Heart Cultivation Pavilion seemed to carry twelve points of anger.
Ah Feng was still staring at the emperor, she looked very carefully, and the emperor was still not really angry: his hands were steady, and his body was relaxed.
Regardless of the look on the emperor's face, his crooked position on the throne made her have only one feeling: she was lying comfortably.
She thought about it for a moment and thought that it was better not to open her mouth for now, and then she would see. Because, she really doesn't know her father, and everything she knows is what she hears.
And what I heard from others, there are too many that I can't do accurately: Mrs. Jiang is already a case.
Now that Jiang Ming's life is at stake, she thinks that she should be more cautious: At this time, Ah Feng didn't notice the tension in her heart at all, and she didn't even notice the cold sweat that appeared in her palms.
Jiang Ming's life made her whole body tense.
Jiang Ming looked up at the emperor, then lowered his head and clenched his fists: "Minister, I don't know the crime." β
In the face of the emperor's fierce drink, his answer was as plain as a bowl of boiled water, so light that it could make people feel that it was a nonsense.
"Don't know the sin?!" The emperor's eyes stared at Jiang Ming tightly: "Could it be that the concubine is accusing you?!" β
After Jiang Ming glanced at Jiang Guifei, he looked at the emperor in a tone that was still as calm as water: "Minister, just ask the princess to parade." β
One sentence made the hall quiet for a moment. In that moment, everyone in the Heart Cultivation Pavilion was stunned, and they all looked at Jiang Ming, wanting to see a flower on his face.
Ah Feng looked at his face, in fact, he really hoped that a flower could grow on his face now, at least it was much more interesting than what he said.
Please princess parade?!
Is this an excuse, and can it be considered an explanation? Jiang Ming wouldn't really think that such a sentence could send away Concubine De's mother and daughter, right?
Ah Feng really wanted to reach out and twist Jiang Ming's ears, and then yell in his ear: Do you treat everyone in the world as a fool?!
Concubine De was stunned for a moment and then became angry, and her voice was so sharp that it almost pierced the roof of the Heart Cultivation Pavilion: "You, you say it again?!" β
She knew that Jiang Ming would defend herself, and she thought that Jiang Ming would cover it up, but she never expected Jiang Ming to come to such a sentence: This is not when she De Guifei died, but there is no such person as De Guifei in her eyes.
Jiang Mingxian's face was already a little pale beside him, and Ah Feng whispered and said quickly: "I am a very honest person. β
The honest Jiang Ming looked at Concubine De very obediently: "Minister, just invite the princess to parade." β
Not a word bad - if you tell me to say it again, I'll say it again, and I promise to say it exactly the same.
Concubine De rushed to her chest in one breath, and the words that came to her mouth were scattered: "You, you are bold!" β
Who is she, she is the emperor's favorite concubine, the niece of the queen mother, and the phoenix seal in charge of the palace - someone who does not have the name of the queen but has the reality of the queen!
She has really never been so contradicted in more than ten years, and she can't find a second sentence to say except for a bold sentence.
Jiang Ming looked at Concubine Degui and blinked, and clenched his fists: "The minister is indeed bold, and if you are cowardly to kill the enemy for thousands of miles, you can't use the enemy's blood to dye your robes." β
After he finished speaking, he still had the heart to give Ah Feng a look, and said silently: I am an honest person, and I will only tell the truth.
Ah Feng saw that Concubine De's lips were a little blue with anger, and of course her heart was happy; But who Concubine De is, she knows better than Jiang Ming, so she has no heart to be happy and is only anxious.
glaring at Jiang Ming fiercely, she replied silently: You, do you want to find death?
Jiang Ming glanced at her: How can you not believe me? You must know that the way for husband and wife to get along is trust first, Your Highness, you have to study hard.
Ah Feng stretched out his foot angrily and stepped on it hard under the cover of his skirt; While stepping on her, he also stared at Jiang Ming, just to see how he knew the pain.
Jiang Ming's expression didn't change at all, as if the toe at Ah Feng's feet was not his.
Ah Feng was a little deflated, thinking that he was a general, or a general who had killed thousands of miles before returning to the capital, and his little strength would indeed not be put in his eyes.
You wait for me. Ah Feng still gave him a cruel word, and then she was ready to speak.
You can't let Concubine De keep acting, she didn't come to watch the show today.
The emperor's eyelids twitched and twitched, and Zhang Youde's heart beside him trembled-Ah Feng and Jiang Ming, when there were no other people in this room, were they so eyebrows? !
Especially Jiang Ming, you must know that the emperor is his father-in-law, but he secretly sent Qiu Bo to Ah Feng in front of the emperor: Where did you put the emperor.
"Jiang Ming, you shot at the daughters of the two princesses and more than a dozen nobles of the court, just to invite the princess to parade?!" The emperor couldn't bear to ask, this time he really had to move three points of anger.
