Chapter 82: A Profound Conversation
Prince Yi returned from the right prime minister's house to his own palace of Prince Yi. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and no matter what, he couldn't calm the anger in his heart. He thought to himself: Even my father has never been so harsh on me since he became an adult! If I ascend to the throne in the future, you will still rely on me everywhere. No way! No way! Can't just forget it, I'm going to give you some color to see, to let him know what kind of identity he is? Let's see if he dares to snub his future master!
When the right prime minister heard the people in the house say that Prince Yi was gone, he felt really relieved. He pondered in his heart: In terms of Prince Yi's character and knowledge, he is not outstanding among the princes, is it just because he is the eldest son that the Holy Lord will pass on the throne to him? The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the saint would not be so confused. So he decided to take a risk and tell the emperor about today's conversation with Prince Yi. Of course, the emperor is suspicious by nature, and the emperor may not fully believe what he says.
But as a courtier, he hopes that he will be loyal to a famous monarch in the future, although the courtier should not point fingers at the future emperor to set up a prince, but to go deeper, who will sit in the future is related to the people of Li Mingsheng, as the right man, since he has seen that the prince of Yi has a despicable character, where can he pretend to be deaf and dumb? If you really do that, what is the point of reading the poetry and books of the saints since childhood? Thinking of this, You Cheng couldn't sit still any longer, he decided not to delay for a moment, and immediately rode a fast horse alone to the palace to meet the saint.
Although the right man is more than half a hundred years old, but the riding skills are superb, he came to the emperor's heart palace after a while, and asked the little eunuch to inform the emperor that the right prime minister asked to see him.
The little eunuch came out of the Heart Cultivation Hall after a while, and he said to You Cheng very politely: "Lord Right Cheng, the slave has already informed you, but the emperor said that if you come for the deputy queen to be sent to the cold palace, you can go back to the mansion now." ”
You Cheng smiled and said, "Please go and report to the Holy Lord again, just say that the old man is not here for the affairs of the deputy queen, and I have other extremely important things to ask to see the Holy Lord." ”
The little eunuch had no choice but to report to the emperor again. After a while, the little eunuch came back again, and said to Youcheng very politely: "Lord Youcheng, the emperor has allowed you to enter the Yangxin Palace to report important matters. ”
You Cheng walked extremely fast, and walked into the Heart Nourishing Hall in three steps and two steps. The emperor was reviewing the folds, and when he saw Youcheng coming in, he continued to review the folds and did not raise his eyes to look at him.
You Cheng knelt down and gave a big salute to the emperor. Only then did the emperor look up at him and said: "Youcheng, please get up quickly, although you and I are monarchs and ministers, but we are also a family, you always strictly abide by the etiquette, but I am a little restrained." ”
You Cheng didn't stand up, he knelt on the spot and said, "Your Majesty, today the prince has gone to the minister's mansion." He naturally also knew that the deputy queen was sent to the cold palace. So, he gave his minister an idea to save the deputy queen. ”
The emperor smirked a few times and asked, "What idea did Yi'er give you?" ”
You Cheng replied a little embarrassedly: "Prince Yi said that he recently bought a few beautiful women from a foreign land, and he asked his ministers to choose one and pay tribute to the emperor as a gift." He felt that the emperor would definitely be happy, and then he would definitely release the deputy queen from the cold palace. ”
When the emperor heard this, he laughed and said, "Then why doesn't You Cheng do what Yi'er said?" You also came to tell me about it, what do you think about this? And what is the purpose? ”
You Cheng replied with a serious expression: "The reason why the emperor sent the deputy queen into the cold palace must not be for no reason. Although the minister was sad in his heart, he would never plead for the deputy queen. Prince Yi is simply redundant, and he can come up with such an idea, which shows that he still does not know much about the emperor. The minister thinks that the emperor, you are a generation of Ming monarchs, and the reputation of this life must not be ruined in the matter of establishing a prince! ”
After hearing this, the emperor smiled again, and he asked Youcheng rhetorically: "I have not yet established a prince, who told you that I will pass on this throne to Yi'er in the future?" That's just the talk of the courtiers, you can't think like that confused courtier! You are loyal to me, and I know it! ”
You Cheng stood up at this time, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, you are a generation of holy monarchs, I guess you won't blame the ministers for being a little arrogant in what they just said!" ”
The emperor no longer sat at this time, immediately stood up, walked in front of Youcheng, and patted Youcheng on the shoulder. The two looked at each other and smiled, and everything was in plain sight!
