Chapter 267: Late
That night, many ministers of civil and military affairs failed to sleep peacefully as usual.
They were thinking about the future.
Especially the ministers who supported King Anjun and got close to the second prince, they tossed and turned all night, sighing and struggling.
If the emperor really plans to support the second prince, will they continue to support King Anjun, or will they abandon King Anjun to support the second prince?
It's too difficult to choose.
And once the choice is made, there is no turning back.
Thinking that in a few days, the second prince would invite them to tea, these ministers had a pain in their heads, and the pain was full of resentment against the emperor.
He has so many princes, why do he have to pick two princes to support him, so he can't support the third prince and the fourth prince?
In that way, they don't have to be so entangled, it's not better to go one way to the end, now it's okay, the flat road has forked, who knows which road leads to glory and wealth, and which one is the abyss?
How many ministers in history who stood on the wrong side ended up with no bones left?
That bloody example is right in front of you.
I really want to say goodbye to my hometown.
After a night of sleep, the sky was full of light, so I got up and washed, put on my court clothes and went to the court.
When I arrived at the palace, I realized that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty came earlier than usual.
These ministers wrote all their expressions on their faces, some were lively, some were excited, and some were gloomy......
You can tell who they are by the looks on their faces.
Looking at the excitement, it is naturally dedicated to the old prince, he does not participate in the establishment of the prince, although the king of Yijun and Chubei are relatively close, but he is also grabbing Qingyun in a bright way, which is intriguing, so the crown prince is the king of Anjun, or the second prince, has little impact on them, although he did not work from the dragon. But it did not hold back the future prince.
There is no reactive power, and there is no fault, and it is better to be stable.
The excitement was obviously from Mrs. Jiang. The leading boss has been deposited for more than two years, and even with the people under them, life is sad, and now that the boss has been reinstated, he has married the Zhennan Hou Mansion again. Although it was a marriage of his granddaughter, he was also married, especially in the last month or two, and he had close contacts with Zhennanhou, and he was reinstated, and when he raised his arms, the sky over Kyoto trembled a few times.
Thinking that the boss wants to lead them to create a new glory is exciting.
The gloomy clouds are bleak, naturally it is the Zhennan Hou Mansion, and there are rumors in Kyoto that the eldest prince has an accident. A few days ago, the young master of Chu married his daughter-in-law, and the secret guard covered in blood ran back, and a good wedding banquet was gone, plus the Marquis of Zhennan was anxious, the queen vomited blood and fainted, and the emperor supported the second prince at this time, even today the emperor announced bitterly that the eldest prince had a hiccup, and they would not be surprised.
The remaining group of entanglements is the one of the Xingguo Mansion, and the throne is the one in the pocket of the Xingguo Mansion, which is ironclad. But there are two people who are qualified and capable of robbing, who they are, I don't know yet.
Four groups of ministers gathered to speak, sighing. One beat higher.
When the hour came, the ministers of the city gates, and the ministers rushed in.
Soon, the ministers entered the council.
While chatting, I waited for the emperor to come up.
But the old prince and the marquis of Zhennan, as well as the prince of Xingguo, all came. Mrs. Jiang hasn't come yet.
The minds of those ministers moved again, wouldn't Mrs. Jiang not come?
Wait, wait, didn't wait for Mrs. Jiang, but waited for the emperor.
The ministers knelt down to ask Sheng An, and the emperor sat on the dragon chair, swept his eyes, and said, "All Aiqing is flat." β
Those ministers who had not rested well, plus they were old again, knelt down, got up suddenly, and their bodies swayed a little.
The emperor saw it, but he didn't say anything, he knew what kind of sensation his holy decree would cause yesterday, he glanced at the position of Old Lady Jiang, and frowned, "Why didn't Old Lady Jiang come to the court?" β
As soon as the emperor's voice fell, a minister came out and said, "Mrs. Jiang did not take leave. β
Xingguo Gong said, "The emperor ordered him to be reinstated, this is his weight, this is the first day of activation, he dared to be late, it is inevitable that he will not take the emperor in his eyes, right?!" β
Usually, after Xingguo Gong finished speaking, a bunch of ministers would follow.
Today, it is exceptionally deserted.
He stood out of the ranks, his brow furrowed.
Zhennan Hou smiled, "It seems that the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and only Xingguo Gong thinks that Mrs. Jiang has not taken the emperor in his eyes." β
As he spoke, he also named, "What does the Ministry of Works-sama think?" β
Lord Cao, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, is the confidant of Xingguo Gong, and there are many times when Xingguo Gong finished speaking, he stood up and echoed, but there is no today, Zhennan Hou named him.
At this moment, Lord Cao was in a cold sweat, and he was about to cry.
He said that Mrs. Jiang didn't take the emperor in his eyes, this was to mean that the emperor wanted Mrs. Jiang to belittle Mrs. Jiang, but Mrs. Jiang was appointed to teach the second prince, didn't he offend the second prince?
If he doesn't follow the words of Xingguo Gong, he will offend Xingguo Gong and King Anjun.
How did he answer that?
Cao Shilang looked at the emperor and said, "Although I don't know what the reason is, Mrs. Jiang is late, but everyone knows that in the early dynasty, if you are deliberately late, you should be punished." β
Deliberately two words, Cao Shilang bit very clearly.
He didn't feel that Old Lady Jiang should be punished for no reason, that was because people did make mistakes.
Fortunately, the emperor didn't say anything in his answer, he went directly to his grandson and shouted, "There is a book to play, but there is no book to retreat." β
Then, there were ministers who began to play.
Many ministers didn't sleep well last night, and this morning, the people above were a little drowsy.
In a blink of an eye, half an hour passed.
Outside, a male duck's voice suddenly came, "Old lady Jiang has arrived!" β
This sound was like thunder on the ground, startling the sleepy insects of many people.
They thought that Mrs. Jiang would not come today, who would have thought that he would still come.
Everyone looked towards the door of the palace, only to see Mrs. Jiang walking in in an official uniform, her steps were calm, and she was more energetic than before she was demoted.
He stepped forward and greeted the emperor.
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Calm down, why did Jiang Aiqing come so late?" β
Mrs. Jiang was a little embarrassed and said, "In the past two years, the minister has been accustomed to the life of idle clouds and wild cranes, and the habit of going to the early dynasty that he has developed for many years has long been lost by the minister. β
This is reasonable.
When they rested, they also got up late, if it weren't for the maid to serve, who of them would get up so early to come to the morning court, it was really a last resort.
How could the emperor blame Mrs. Jiang for such a trivial matter, he smiled and said, "The immortal Weng returned to Cuiweicen, and the west wind and moon gorge were deep overnight. The life of idle clouds and wild cranes, I also yearn for it, but there are too many mundane things in the court, I can only drag Mrs. Jiang out of the fairy-like life, Mrs. Jiang will not blame me, right? β
Old Lady Jiang hurriedly said, "The minister doesn't dare." β
As soon as he finished speaking, the prince smiled and said, "The emperor restored the official position of the old lady of FΓΉ Jiang and asked him to teach the second prince knowledge, and the minister has a reluctant request." β
The emperor raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Uncle Huang, it's okay to say it." β
The old prince sighed and said, "The emperor also knows that Yi'er is stubborn, over the years, I have also found a lot of gentlemen for him, and none of them have taught him for more than two months. β
Hearing the old prince say this, the heart of Xingguo jumped.
He is not afraid that Mrs. Jiang will really teach King Yijun and let him get close to the second prince, and in the future, the palace will become the help of the second prince, and the character of King Yijun will not be able to distinguish between me and the enemy at all, and he will not get along with anyone.
His heart thumped, it was the prince who blocked the back road of King Anjun.
He gave the Queen Mother an idea, if Mrs. Jiang really taught the second prince, then she also asked Mrs. Jiang to teach King Anjun.
Now that Mrs. Jiang has refused to offer the old prince, how can the queen mother open her mouth?
No, Mrs. Jiang refused, "It's really difficult for me to offer the prince, I said back then, I only accept two students at most in this life, and then I was demoted, and I only received more when I had more time, the emperor decreed that I should teach the second prince, I can't resist and disobey, the second prince is my fourth student, I have been very difficult to teach, and I have no more than enough strength to teach the king of Yijun." β
Old Lady Jiang's words made the hall whisper.
After all, offering the old prince to ask Mrs. Jiang to teach his grandson is considered to be condescending, who would have thought that Mrs. Jiang would refuse without hesitation.
And he's already taken in three students?
In addition to the eldest young master Chu and the second young master of Chu, who else?
They were all surprised, because they didn't know.
The emperor raised his eyebrows lightly and said with a smile, "I only know that the eldest young master and the second young master Chu are both your students, but I don't know that you have accepted three students, and I don't know whose young master is the young master of the mansion, so talented that he can enter the eyes of the old lady Jiang." β
Young Master Chu can worship Mrs. Jiang as a teacher, he should have gone through the back door of Miss Musan, and everyone knows about the marriage between Miss Mu and Young Master Chu, and people teach their grandson and son-in-law in order to make up for their granddaughter.
Second Young Master Chu's talent is obvious to all.
The third student must be extraordinary.
Old lady Jiang said with a smile, "Your Majesty, in fact, the second young master Chu is the third student of the minister, and the second student is the eldest prince, he came to the Jiang family with the eldest young master of Chu, and he has to learn the art of checks and balances from the minister, and the minister can't shirk it, and he is dedicated to learning ......." β
Listening to Mrs. Jiang said, a bunch of people, you look at me, I look at you, looking at each other.
They never thought that the eldest prince had already learned the art of checks and balances from Old Lady Jiang.
However, it is not surprising that the eldest prince worships Mrs. Jiang as a teacher, Zhennanhou and Mrs. Jiang are close, and they stuff their grandsons into the past two, and the grandsons who should learn more must not be left behind.
However, Zhennanhou said that he did not know that the eldest prince had studied with Mrs. Jiang.
In this way, it is even more humble and studious for the eldest prince.
In this way, the second prince became the fourth student of Mrs. Jiang.
Regarding the affairs of the political palace, a eunuch secretly told Concubine Yun and the second prince. (To be continued.) )
