Chapter 40 Since ancient times, the royal family has been ruthless

"Tilt, Tilt, you're here."

Lan Miyun was supported by Mama Hua and hurriedly walked towards the door.

"Niangniang, slow down~"

Mama Hua couldn't help but remind.

I saw a man wearing an apricot yellow straight court dress, a light-colored gold silk dragon pattern belt tied around his waist, his black hair tied up and fixed with a gilt crown, and his slender body stood straight outside the gate of Weiyang Palace.

At first glance, it looks like a fairy coming out of a painting. The eyebrows are picturesque, bright as the stars.

But a pair of thin lips were pursed lightly, his face was cold, he raised his eyes to look at the three big characters of Weiyang Palace, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, and he looked at the threshold of Weiyang Palace and didn't know how to enter it.

"Slaves (slaves) see His Royal Highness the Prince."

When the maid eunuchs in Weiyang Palace saw He Zhitian's arrival, they all knelt down and saluted.

He Zhitian was pulled back to his senses by the voice of the palace maid and the eunuch, shook his head, and walked in directly.

"Tilt, you're here."

When Queen Lan Miyun saw her son, she hurriedly stretched out her hand to pull him.

Seeing this, He Zhitian turned slightly sideways, leaned over and saluted:

"The son has seen the queen mother."

Lan Miyun watched He Zhitian's movements, stunned, and the tears in her eyes couldn't help but flow down anymore.

"Tilt, are you still blaming the queen mother?"

Lan Miyun couldn't control the discomfort in her heart, she hid her face and sobbed softly, and choked up:

"The queen mother is really for your good, can you ......"

He Zhitian raised his head and looked at Lan Miyun indifferently, and said impatiently:

"Aren't you going to have breakfast?

If the queen mother calls her sons, just to say these things,

Shu Erchen cannot be accompanied. ”

Hearing this, Lan Miyun's heart felt as if he had been stabbed with a sharp weapon, and he looked at He Zhitian with tears in his eyes.

"In this case, the sons and daughters still want to go to the court, so they won't bother the queen mother, and the queen mother will eat by herself!"

He Zhitian saw that Lan Miyun was about to cry again, his heart was bored for a while, his face became more and more ugly, and he directly raised his leg and walked out.

"Tilt~Tilt~"

Lan Miyun watched He Zhitian turn around and walk out without hesitation, and cried bitterly while holding Mama Hua.

"Mama, why? Why?

Hongu just wants to be close to Dumpling, why is this always the case? ”

Listening to Lan Miyun's sad words, Mama Hua didn't know how to answer, she could only comfort silently, but she sighed in her heart how ruthless the royal family has been since ancient times, even if it is a blood relative, it can be abandoned, let alone just ignore it.

β€”β€”β€”β€”-----

Lin'an City......

"Heyβ€”heyβ€”did you hear that?"

An aunt who went into the city to buy grabbed a few women who knew each other and began to ask.

"What did you hear?"

One of the women looked at her aunt with a puzzled look on her face.

"I tell you, don't tell anyone, you guys are the best with me, I just tell you."

The aunt seemed to look at the people around her cautiously, as if she was afraid of being heard by outsiders.

The women all nodded solemnly, and one of them was a little anxious, took the aunt's hand and said:

"Oops! Old sister, just say it quickly, but I'm in a hurry! ”

"If you can't bear it, I'll ...... it."

The aunt beckoned, motioned for a few people to step forward, and then lowered her voice and said:

"I heard that some time ago, those small countries at the border began to gather troops to attack our Tianxing again.

And many of other people's daughters have been taken captive and become military prostitutes, so what will happen...... Gee! It's really intimidating. ”

"Oh, I thought it was, I've heard about this a long time ago, nothing unusual."

The acute woman waved her hand and looked at the aunt indifferently.

The other women echoed and nodded.

"You've all heard this, but have you heard of several families in a few remote towns where their sons and daughters have disappeared inexplicably."

Several women were full of disbelief when they heard this, and the woman immediately said:

"Old sister, don't talk nonsense, these days, if you don't catch a strong man, how can there be a son who disappears?

Even if there is a war at the border, we will not catch strong men, but we have a huge army, and those small countries are simply not worth mentioning.

If so, how could they disappear for no reason? Don't talk nonsense, be careful of being caught by the government. ”

The other women nodded in agreement.

Seeing that several women did not believe her words, the aunt turned her head and swept among the passers-by, saw a familiar figure, patted the anxious woman, and said:

"You wait, I'll find someone for you, and you'll know if it's true."

As soon as she finished speaking, the aunt walked quickly towards the woman in the dark blue cloth shirt among the pedestrians.

"Yo~ Aunt Liu, you also come out to buy!"

The woman who was called 'Aunt Liu' turned her head and saw the aunt who called her, and sneered:

"Yo! Isn't this Aunt Wang!

My aunt is comfortable, and she can walk around on this street every day.

It's not like me, I have to take care of my in-laws at home every day, and I have to take care of the crops.

It's rare to have free today, so I want to come out and buy. ”

The aunt of the Liu family did not hide it, looked at Aunt Wang with disdain, and slandered in her heart:

This old pious woman knows all day long that she is wandering in this bazaar, why do I have to work hard all day to serve my in-laws and clean up the dealer's house.

At home, I was compared by my in-laws all day long, and I finally came out to breathe, but I couldn't be clean, which really made people feel uncomfortable.

Aunt Wang didn't hear the meaning of Aunt Liu's words, but she didn't want to worry about her at this time, so she smiled patiently:

"Look at what you say, who in these ten miles and eight villages doesn't praise your aunt Liu is a good hand in the family, and if your mother-in-law gets your service, it will be burning high incense in the ancestral tomb."

"Hehe, my aunt is really awarded." The aunt of the Liu family was praised, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and said with a dry smile:

"I wonder what my aunt is looking for me?"

So Aunt Wang told Aunt Liu what had just happened.

The aunt of the Liu family's face sank, stretched out her hand to signal the women to come over, and said to the people around her:

"I'll tell you. It's true, my cousin's son is ......"

A group of gossip-loving men and women gathered around and listened.

…………

He Zhitian walked out of Weiyang Palace not far from when he saw a eunuch hurrying over in the distance.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qiqi, I summoned you to hurry to the Jinluan Palace, saying that there is something important."

The eunuch was in such a hurry that fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Hmm."

As soon as the words fell, He Zhitian strode towards the Jinluan Palace.

"According to Xiao Aiqing, what should this matter do?"

In the Jinluan Palace, He Wenxuan was wearing a dragon robe and sitting on the top with a majestic face.

I saw that he sometimes frowned and looked at the fold in his hand, and sometimes looked up at the prime minister Xiao Shan and the civil and military officials standing at the bottom.

"Back to the emperor's words, this ...... According to Lao Chen, those small countries at the border are not to be feared, and if they are allowed to stumble for a few days, they will be silent. ”

Xiao Shan pretended to think about it for a moment before calmly replying.

"Well, what do the other Aiqing think?"

"If you go back to the emperor, the old minister thinks that the prime minister's words are really inappropriate!"

"Oh? What is the opinion of Li Aiqing, a scholar of the Imperial Court? ”

He Wenxuan raised his eyes to look at Li Hong, a scholar of the palace pavilion, and motioned for Li Hong to continue.

"Back to the emperor's words, according to the old minister, the small countries seem to be prepared this time.

The old minister believed that the emperor should immediately send troops to the border pass to suppress it by force. ”

Xiao Shan sneered and looked at Li Hong, then said:

"The scholar said this is wrong, my emperor is the true dragon of my heavenly stars, with my emperor here, how dare those small border countries make a mistake.

Besides, in previous years, all the countries at the border pass were thundering and raining, and there was a real breakthrough in the defense line of my Tianxing border pass. ”

"You, you're proud and self-contained!

Yes, it is true that in previous years, there was no breakthrough through my border, but this time it is different.

I heard that many people have been displaced at the border gates, that women have been taken captive to become military prostitutes, and that men have disappeared for no apparent reason.

Dare to ask the prime minister how to explain this? ”

Li Hong was angry that Xiao Shan would only slap his beard in front of the emperor and think very highly of himself, so he directly refuted it loudly.

"Didn't the university scholar go back more and more, and his hearsay was credible?

Is this how all the knowledge of the scholars comes from?

The university scholar must understand that you are the most valued bachelor of our emperor, and you have to consider what you say and do. ”

Xiao Shan didn't care about Li Hong's anger at all, and looked at Li Hong with mockery in his eyes, as if he was aggressive as if he had grasped the handle.

"You, you ......"

Li Hong was instantly speechless by Xiao Shan.

He Wenxuan, who was sitting at the top, looked at the fold in his hand as if he hadn't seen it.

"The Prince Arrives ......"
