Chapter Forty-Eight: The Court Argues!
Before Nangong Li opened his eyes, he felt a black shadow pressing over him, and the little prince was very nervous, clutching the corners of his clothes tightly, this mood was also very worried, just like a persecuted little daughter-in-law. Unexpectedly, I only felt a soft futon on my body pressing down, and there was no movement.
Nangong Li opened his eyes and shouted at the back of the departing figure, "What are you doing?" ”
Yan Rong thought that Nangong Li was already asleep, but he thought that he didn't take anything, and it would be bad if he was frozen again, so he tiptoed to hold the quilt and cover Nangong Li.
But Nangong Li said very quietly, and his back did not have any slowness, and he went in. Nangong Li knew that it was Yan Rong, but he still wanted to shout, so he wanted to call her again........
Next
Nangong Li gradually woke up, the sun shone on his cheeks, and a layer of redness stained up. Nangong Li stretched his waist and found that the quilt was still intact on his body, thinking that even if he slept on the bed before, the quilt would fall uncontrollably, but who knew that it was okay today.
Nangong Li seemed to have thought of something, got off the recliner and went straight to the inner room. Sure enough, the room was empty, but the slight wrinkling on the bed proved that someone had slept last night. The basin, clothes, and blood stains were gone, and it seemed that his face had been cleaned while he was still asleep. How did you sleep so soundly!
"Xiaohui, when did Yan Rong leave?" Nangong Li walked outside the door with a lowered face and happened to bump into Xiaohui.
"Is the prince awake? The general was gone for a while, and the general told the slaves and maids not to wake you up, and ordered that the dirty clothes be washed, and then go to the court. ”
"Going to court? So soon, is that all she says? Nangong Li asked.
"The general also said that the prince doesn't have to worry about anything, just wait for her to return."
"In the past, there was a big brother in the court who could help Yan Rong, but today, it's all up to her. Xiaohui, pack up, I want to enter the palace. ”
"Yes."
Above the court
"Presumably all Aiqing already knew about what happened last night?" The emperor was sitting on the dragon chair, looking at the ministers scrutinically.
"Back to the emperor, I heard some things when I came in the morning, but the specific situation has not yet been known by the minister." Prime Minister Rong said.
"On the night of the Beijing Flower Meeting, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was injured because of my enemy of General Yan, and the Crown Princess lost her child, but one night, this matter was rumored, but the minister believes that General Yan was not intentional." Most of them finally seized the opportunity to talk about how to soothe his previous anger.
Yan Rong lowered his head slightly and never spoke, in the past, Nangong Yu helped him speak at this time, but now Nangong Yu has no sign of wanting to speak. It seems that after yesterday night, there is still a gap.
Most of the guards saw that even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not protect his face as in the past, and he became more and more unscrupulous and said, "I think General Yan is only used to leading troops to fight, and above the battlefield is a piece of heaven and earth, this enemy has found the capital, and he injured the princess yesterday, so I am afraid that who will be hurt in the coming day is not necessarily." ”
"What is the truth of most of the people's words? Let's not talk about whether it is an enemy or not, General Yan is the general of my dynasty, the capital is her home, habits are habits, but there is always only one place in the home, no one could have predicted what happened yesterday, how can you blame someone? Nangong Yu looked past Yan Rong's gaze and said to Dadu Hu.
"What the prince said is reasonable, the reason is that it is because the remnants of the sins have not been removed, so such an unfortunate thing will happen, the East Palace has suffered the most serious damage, I will compensate you well, but the important thing at the moment is to find out these remnants, and only by catching them can we restore peace to our dynasty." The emperor followed Nangong Yu's words and said.
"Your Majesty, this matter started because of me, and it should be me here to investigate, Yan Rong swore that he would find out about this matter in order to comfort the crown princess." Yan Rong stepped forward and bowed down and said.
"Your Majesty, the minister feels that this matter should not be handed over to General Yan alone." Prime Minister Rong glanced at Du Hu and said unhurriedly.
"Huh? Why did Aiqing say this? ”
"Your Majesty, yesterday's incident was quite strange, and General Yan is the main figure in it, as long as he is present, he will be suspected, who can guarantee that this will be a conspiracy?" The prime minister said.
"Does the prime minister mean that my face made such a big game yesterday?" Yan Rong asked with a sneer.
"General Xiao Yan misunderstood, it's just that the minister suspects, if the general can find those sinners and let them make it clear in person, otherwise how can he prove it? After all, those individuals say they are towards you, but they hurt others. It's really puzzling. ”
"Okay, who do you think the prime minister will send to investigate?" The emperor said with the corner of his eyebrows.
"According to the old minister, we have to be assisted by Pan Gong, the martial champion of our dynasty, to go with General Yan to find the real murderer and return the general's innocence."
"My face has always been upright, when did I act like the prime minister said?" Yan Rong said coldly after listening to the prime minister's rhetoric.
"General Yan, don't be angry, the old minister is just admonishing, wouldn't it be better if there was really nothing to do?"
"Yan Rong, what the prime minister said is also reasonable, and with Pan Gong's help, you can also get twice the result with half the effort, just like that, these things will be handled by the two of you, and the deadline I give you is not much." After the emperor finished speaking, he retired from the court. Don't give Yan Rong a chance to speak.
"The general stays." After Yan Rong received the order, he quietly waited for everyone to leave, and then he slowly moved his steps, and just as he was about to leave, he heard Yuanshou Gonggong come and call out to him.
The Hall of Inheritance
"Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with summoning your ministers?" Yan Rong had been standing in the hall for a long time, but the emperor had just been staring at the song, and Yan Rong couldn't help asking.
"Yan Rong, today in the court, I am not on your side, is there any strange me?"
"The emperor has elevated his ministers, and of course the decision made by the emperor is right."
"I also want to speak for you, but you can also see that the prime minister is pressing step by step, and I have to do this in order to take care of the overall situation."
"Your Majesty, the minister understands that Wu Zhuangyuan is also a handsome man personally selected by the emperor, and he will help the minister a lot if he thinks about it, even if.... Even if he is the prime minister's protégé. Yan Rong hesitated and said.
"It's precisely because he is the prime minister's protégé, so you have to pay more attention this time, and my prime minister's subordinates don't mess around."
"Why did the emperor say this?" Yan asked puzzled.
"Just look at it." After the emperor finished speaking, he threw a piece of music to Yan Rong.
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that there must be something strange about this flower party incident, his face is not a young general, he is young and vigorous, and there are a few enemies who don't matter, but since ancient times, how can there be a reason why his own enemies have hurt others, General Yan is good friends with the prince, and has a juvenile relationship, I'm afraid that it is because some children and daughters have disturbed the court, and it is the danger of my Daqi!"
Before Yan Rong finished reading, the emperor gave another one.
"Your Majesty, the ministers thought about it, and felt that this time someone should cover their ears and steal the bell, and the guards should steal themselves, and the man in black can accurately hold the crown princess hostage, but it seems to be premeditated, except for General Yan, who can leak this news, what is General Yan's heart, the emperor has to pay attention to it!"
"How's it going, have you finished reading it?" The emperor asked.
"Your Majesty, the prime minister actually played the impeachment of Weichen twice in a row, which is really hard!" Yan Rong respectfully put the fold back in its place and said with a sneer.
"I naturally understand what kind of person you are, otherwise I wouldn't have let you see this directly."
"The emperor's belief in Wechen is the greatest understanding of Wechen. It's just that the prime minister only learned the news this morning, could it be that he got up before dawn to write the recital? Wechen is really fortunate to be so cared for by the prime minister, it really makes the minister panic! ”
"I understand what you mean, the prime minister has been doing things under my nose all these years, I thought that he was my previous master, so I turned a blind eye, as long as I didn't mess with the order of the court, I didn't pay attention to it, but now this matter is not only involved in the court but also the harem, so, this task is arduous and there is no reward, Yanrong, are you willing to do it?"
"Wechen is willing."
"By the way, I'm afraid the prince will still feel a little uncomfortable, if you have time, explain things clearly, Yu'er and you are my right-hand men, you can't be centrifuged!" The emperor patted Yan Rong's shoulder and said.
"Your Majesty, the crown princess suffered this catastrophe because of my appearance, it is reasonable, I have to make amends, but for political affairs, I believe the prince also knows which is more important."
"You young people have your own way, and I don't want to interfere too much, if I can solve it properly, it's best, if it really doesn't work, you can also let him help this kid."
"King Rong has already helped his ministers a lot, the emperor doesn't have to worry about this matter, I just hope that this matter will be investigated clearly in a few days and the capital will be restored."
"Very good!" The emperor also said about it, so he let Yan Rong retreat.
"By the way, Xia Niangniang of Liluo Palace misses you very much, after being busy for a while, remember to come to the palace to see her, I have been worried about her body, after seeing you that day, she is obviously very happy, she is in a good mood, and her body is naturally much better." When Yan Rong was about to step out of the palace gate, the emperor said again.
"Yes, Your Majesty, if you have time, you will definitely visit your mother."
After Yan Rong came out of the hall, he didn't have time to think about Sister Rou, and now he was already anxious because of the flower meeting.
Yan Rong understands that the emperor's intention is to prevent Nangong Yu from being separated from him, after all, the Yan family army is still to resist the main military strength of the prime minister's party, and for the sake of status and power, the emperor will not punish himself in any way, but what Yan Rong is most worried about now is Nangong Yu.
Nangong Yu's performance today is different from the past, the emperor is right, the perfect match, it is not possible to lack one party, if Nangong Yu is still like this in his heart, then he is the least successful in this matter, and now he is going to the East Palace, no matter what happens, he has to go to the East Palace.
The prime minister understands the deep love of youth, but because of one thing, he was defeated and couldn't form an army, white clouds and dogs, time will really erase emotions, or perhaps, the so-called deep love at that time was just a temporary joy!
