Chapter Forty-Nine: The Twenty Deadly Sins of the Prince
"Hundreds of officials are here!"
"Hundreds of officials are here!"
“……”
As the voice of a eunuch came from inside the palace, it was followed by a relay of long-distance running, one after another, from the palace to the door.
"Your Highness, it's time to go up!"
Zhang Zhan gently touched Yu Zhiqian and woke him up from his sleep.
"Huh? Is it up to court? ”
Yu Zhiqian shook his head, it's okay not to doze off, he can still hold on for a while, but after squinting for a while just now, he found that his sleepy insect has completely come up, and now he is even more sleepy!
"Let's go!"
Yu Zhiqian shook his head vigorously to sober himself up, and took the lead towards the palace.
About half an hour ago, Fengyi Palace.
The emperor slowly opened his eyes, and the queen beside him had already woken up, and after grooming and dressing, she was waiting for him to wake up.
"Queen, what are you doing so early!"
"Today's court meeting, Your Majesty has to get up early, and the concubines will prepare clothes for Your Majesty!"
"Just let the chamberlain come here!"
After the emperor finished speaking, he grabbed the empress.
After warming for a while, the emperor slowly stood up, stretched his arms, and Wu Sangui and a group of palace maids walked in with their heads down and began to change the emperor's clothes.
"Is that rebel still on his knees?"
After thinking for a while, the emperor seemed to remember that he had given an order, if the prince came, he would kneel directly outside until he woke up, and instinctively thought that the prince was kneeling outside.
"Your Majesty, Prince, Prince......"
"Huh? Did that rebel hide outside and fall asleep? ”
According to the emperor's understanding of the crown prince, this guy will definitely play a little clever when he comes to kneel, such as letting him kneel and he will kneel, just find a pillar, and then let people drag him, or directly find a place to lie outside, and then wait for himself to wake up and then pretend to kneel for a night and so on.
"Your Majesty, Prince, Prince, Prince......"
"Say!"
"His Royal Highness the Prince, he didn't come ......at all" After finishing speaking, Wu Sangui lowered his head directly, not daring to speak.
"Huh? Let him...... What, this rebel dares to resist! ”
The emperor's eyes widened, his beard was fluttered twice by such a roar, and Wu Sangui beside him immediately cooperated with his waist and bent ninety degrees as if he was frightened: "Your Majesty is angry, the old slave learned that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been busy until the end of the day, and the so-called ......"
"What is the rebel doing?"
"I should be preparing to attend the court meeting!"
"Humph!"
The emperor snorted coldly and did not speak, at this time, the queen put a robe on the emperor from behind him, and said softly: "Your Majesty, don't be angry early in the morning, it's not good to be angry!" ”
"It's not the rebel ...... yet"
The emperor rushed to the Xuanzheng Hall in a rage early in the morning, and he had decided in his heart that he was ready to teach this rebel a lesson!
Yu Zhiqian walked on the road half-asleep and half-awake, without taking a step, he felt that he was on the spring bed, jumping and jumping, feeling that he had walked a long distance, in fact, it was only three or five meters in total.
"Your Highness, are you sick?"
Yu Zhiqian bumped into someone in a daze, and saw Di Renjie staring at Yu Zhiqian with a smile on his face.
How to describe Di Renjie's smile, it's like when you are sleeping, you suddenly hear someone calling you, you open your eyes, and find an old face full of folds staring at you with a smile.
This kind of fright made Yu Zhiqian wake up almost instantly, and put away the fist he was about to stretch out, of course, it was definitely not because Li Yuanfang next door was ready to intercept, it was completely because an adult could instinctively control his emotions.
"Di Xiang! Hongu was thinking about the problem just now! ”
"So that's the case, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince moved a lot last night, my old bones can hear the movement at home, it is estimated that the prince may have made a lot of noise yesterday!"
Di Renjie touched his beard and said with a smile.
Although Yu Zhiqian was sober, his head was dizzy, and he said with a little apology: "I've disturbed Di Xiang, but if Di Xiang doesn't sleep well, I have a recipe here to save insomnia!" ”
Di Renjie smiled and didn't speak, Yu Zhiqian couldn't figure out what the second monk was, looked at Zhang Zhan, dragged his drowsy head and continued to rush towards the Xuanzheng Palace.
"Your Highness, Di Xiang means that there may be quite a few people attacking you today!"
"Huh? What's wrong with me? ”
"Your Highness, Di Xiang said just now, you disturbed a lot of people!"
“…… That's it, that's okay, go back and make some earplugs at night, and everyone will send one, so it's okay, one by one is really hypocritical! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Zhiqian was patted on the shoulder, and when he turned his head, he saw Lao Qi's innocent smiling face, if it was usually Yu Zhiqian, he would happily communicate with Lao Qi for a while, and see if he could get some benefits from his own brother, no, teach his younger brother a lesson.
But today Yu Zhiqian was a little tired, nodded and continued to walk forward.
"Big brother, I secretly listened to it for a while just now, and those guys in Yushitai are preparing to impeach you, and I heard that you have listed twenty pieces of incriminating evidence!"
"Huh? Twenty of a kind? ”
Yu Zhiqian was stunned for a moment, he has done so many things recently? No, Yu Zhiqian thought about it carefully, although he usually bombs and pretends to be crazy and stupid, but it seems that he is still law-abiding, and he has not done anything angry and resentful.
"Yes, big brother, you have to be careful!"
Yu Zhiqian nodded: "Okay, I know, is the target of this group of old immortals this time me?" ”
"Forget it, I'll just go to bed later!"
After thinking about it for a while, Yu Zhiqian felt that he might not have played with this group of guys by playing mouth cannons, and it seemed a little bad to fight with these old men on his own platform, so Yu Zhiqian was ready to be a turtle with a shrunken head first, and his ears didn't listen to what was going on outside the window.
Yu Zhiqian never felt that the road from the gate of the palace to the Xuanzheng Hall was so long, Yu Zhiqian walked into the hall drowsily, and was stopped by Gonggong Jia: "Your Highness, boots!" ”
"Ahh
Yu Zhiqian took off his shoes, a strong smell of salted fish made Yu Zhiqian sober up a little, yesterday was busy all night, Yu Zhiqian did not take off his shoes, at this moment, all kinds of smells came out of the boots.
"This smell is really a bit refreshing!"
After Yu Zhiqian finished speaking, he felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach.
"Your Highness, you'd better clean it up a little!"
Father-in-law Jia took Yu Zhiqian to the position of the side hall and washed his feet well, Yu Zhiqian washed his face by the way, and Father-in-law Jia next to him stared at Yu Zhiqian's action of washing his face in the copper basin, and he didn't dare to speak.
When Yu Zhiqian left, Gonggong Jia stared at the few little eunuchs beside him and said, "You few, if you dare to speak out, don't want your own heads!" ”
"Whoa!"
In the main hall, Yu Zhiqian lay in front of his desk, just like the students who stayed up late to read books and go to class the next day when they used to go to school, snoring and falling asleep, this is the treatment of the prince, you can have a small table, kneel and sit here, as for the other ministers, they kneel and sit behind according to their positions.
"Your Majesty has arrived, and hundreds of officials will meet you!"
"Minister, welcome Your Majesty!"
Yu Zhiqian stood up in a daze and saluted, and when his ears heard the exemption, he immediately sat back again, dragging his chin with one hand, ready to continue dozing.
The emperor originally wanted to reprimand Yu Zhiqian, but seeing Yu Zhiqian trapped like this, he felt a little unbearable in his heart, it seemed that this rebel was tired last night.
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have a play?"
Fixed routine, a group of old ministers are waiting for the emperor's words, and only after saying this sentence can this group of ministers speak.
"Your Majesty, the minister has a play!"
"Liu Aiqing said!"
"Your Majesty, there is still half a month before the ceremony, and the missions of various countries have arrived in Chang'an one after another, and many envoys want to meet Tianyan......"
"Have all the envoys arrived?"
"Waiting outside the palace!"
"Okay, announce that they will wait outside the temple!"
"Whoa!"
"Your Majesty, the minister has a play!"
"Speak!"
"Your Majesty, there has been no rain in Dengzhou so far this year, and the red land is thousands of miles ......away."
"Is the relief food ready?"
"It has been prepared from Henan Road, Jinling Road and other places, and it is expected to be shipped to Dengzhou next month!"
“……”
"Your Majesty's ,......"
For about an hour, there have been various pairs, and they are generally some problems that require the cooperation of various departments, such as the drought in Dengzhou, and there is not a drop of rain in May, so there must be disaster relief, where will the food come from for disaster relief? This kind of problem needs to be coordinated.
There are also various problems with the big sacrifice, the ancestral system of the Yutang Empire, the big festival every ten years, and this year is exactly ten years away from the last big festival, so almost the court is busy around this matter.
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you still have to play?"
The emperor rubbed his head slightly, it was really a wise decision for his ancestor to move the time of the Great Dynasty Meeting from midnight to morning, otherwise he would get up in the middle of the night to deal with these problems, and his head would probably explode.
No one spoke, the whole hall was a little quiet for a few seconds, only a faint snoring sound came, the emperor turned his head to look over, only to see the crown prince supporting his head with one hand, his eyes closed, and the snoring sound came from him.
"This rebel, the Great Dynasty will actually sleep!"
The emperor now wanted to take off his shoes again and throw them over, but after thinking about it, he held back, after all, he was a prince, and he still had to give some face.
"Your Majesty, the minister is going to be beaten!"
At this time, an official from the Imperial Historical Observatory, who was about forty years old, stood up from behind.
"Huh? Speak! ”
The emperor did not think of the name of this minister for a while.
"Your Majesty, the minister impeached the prince for mobilizing troops late at night, intending to rebel, this is the prince's first crime, the prince competes with the people for profit, and opens a restaurant in Dongshi, this is the prince's second crime, the prince enters the Dali Temple and openly leads the death row prisoner Zhang Xiaojing to escape from prison, does not respect Tang Law, this is the prince's third crime, the prince does not respect education, and has bad etiquette, this is the prince's ......fourth crime."
"The prince entered the Qinglou and clashed with others, and set up a private torture room, Su Can, the son of General Annan, whose life and death are unknown, this is the prince's ten ......crimes"
“…… This is the crown prince's twenty crimes, Your Majesty, twenty pieces of evidence are not enough to describe the prince's heinous crimes......"
Yu Zhiqian heard someone say that he was himself, slowly opened his eyes from his sleep, and looked at him a little confused, as if someone said that he was extremely guilty? Huh? What did you do?
