The ministers were standing outside the hall waiting for the summons, and the prince was surrounded by several scholars, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious. At this time, Song Zhancheng was leisurely looking at a cloud, and the prince saw this and walked over in a few steps.

"Brother Huang, I heard that my father left you for dinner yesterday. Alas, the imperial brother is really envious, since my father was unwell and began to focus on health preservation, the imperial brother and I haven't been with my father for a long time. ”

The prince shook his head and let out a heavy sigh, but the undisguised mockery at the corners of his mouth revealed his true thoughts.

Song Zhancheng didn't pay any attention to his provocative behavior, out of helplessness, he smiled insincerely, and said a few polite words casually, and then stopped talking.

The prince's face was gloomy, but he still had to pretend to be a brother and a brother, but he was stunned and unhappy, and it was not until he started to go to the court that Song Zhancheng gave him some face and let him, the prince, go first.

Song Jinghe was so angry that he couldn't say it, and his heart was full of anger, but he didn't know what he thought, and suddenly his face changed and he was happy again.

This expression was seen by many people, and they speculated about what kind of big event would happen in the court today.

"I guess it's indispensable to find trouble with Prince Jin......" The old minister who followed the last one muttered secretly, and then lowered his head and rolled his eyes, looking around vigilantly, not daring to talk nonsense.

"Something to start, nothing to retreat~"

A few civilian officials still had nothing to do, boasting about some trivial things, and slowly leading the topic to the war in various places.

If you look closely, you will definitely find that some taciturn ministers are starting to cheer up, but unfortunately the emperor did not rest well last night, and he is dizzy today, and his ears are full of buzzing.

"Okay, okay, the war is tight, I already have a countermeasure, you Aiqing don't need to say more. But is there anything else? ”

Everyone in the hall was silent for a moment, and Liu Ming's father, Lord Liu, dressed up in court clothes, and said to the emperor with a serious face: "Your Majesty, since the Prince of Jin has been selected to fight in the northwest, why not let the prince lead the troops to set off as soon as possible, so as to alleviate the difficulties of the generals in the northwest." ”

As soon as these words came out, the emperor immediately became serious, vaguely angry, and when the courtiers saw this, they quickly swallowed the words that they had planned to echo and hid them in their stomachs.

Also, seeing that the New Year is approaching, how can Prince Jin, the second prince of the dignified state, not serve the saint in Beijing? In addition, it is reasonable to let people lead troops to the expedition at this time, which is really excessive.

The crown prince didn't seem to feel the subtlety of the atmosphere, and said to the emperor and the ministers with a frank smile: "Father, the son suddenly discovered that the emperor's brother seems to have not had a big or small festival in the palace for many years!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone also understood, and the prince continued to say sincerely: "Father and son are connected by blood, and the royal brother is rarely close to the elders. Therefore, the son asked his father not to be so harsh, and wait until the New Year to talk about the expedition? ”

The emperor was silent for a long time, and the courtiers were even more silent.

Song Zhancheng couldn't help laughing, shook his head, and a cold voice broke the silence of the room, "Father doesn't have to be embarrassed, Erchen is born with such a personality, he doesn't like these concerns since he was a child, and he doesn't value them, he just hopes that his father and emperor are healthy." I also asked my father to give me an order to send me out of the city in a few days. ”

A military general blushed and spoke roughly, but he couldn't hear what he thought, so he only said: "The big husband is ambitious in all directions, and he is stuck in the love of his children and the shortcomings of his family, not a hero!" Prince Jin asked General Ben to bow down! ”

When the emperor heard this, he actually laughed. Although some smiles did not reach the bottom of the eyes, it did make the atmosphere in the hall a little relaxed.

The crown prince seriously flashed a trace of anger, and quietly glanced at one of the people, and the person took advantage of the right time to open his mouth with a smile: "Prince Jin is really a hero, but the minister thinks that it is better for you to be so free and easy in the change of relationship and attitude on the battlefield and in the court." ”

In and out of the words, there are nothing more than dark thorns, which make the emperor suspicious of Song Zhancheng.

Song Zhancheng felt a chill all over his body, but he just isolated himself from everyone, did not refute, did not justify, and did not question. It was as if he hadn't heard anyone speak at all, and he was talking about his own attitude.

The man didn't know anything, and said to himself: "What is Prince Jin's attitude?" Isn't what the official said right? Or do you have a ghost in your heart and don't dare to argue? ”

The prince was instantly angry, stood beside Song Zhancheng, and looked at the man with a cold face, "Lord Li might as well say it directly, what does it mean to beat around the bush?" Also, slander the Prince, do you know what to do! ”

The courtier surnamed Li pretended to be shocked, and reported to the emperor with a frightened face: "The emperor is clear, and the minister has no other intentions, he just wants to ask the prince's opinion." If there is any gaffe, I hope that the prince will not worry about the old ministers. ”

Song Zhancheng smiled lightly, "Master Li is serious. ”

Everyone had their own thoughts in their hearts, some of the neutral ministers laughed and played a round, and the other prince and the prince were obviously one-sided.

Most of the courtiers supported the crown prince, but although the quarrel was fierce at this time, they were all talking about the matter and did not show their respective positions.

In addition, the emperor's old eyes were dizzy, and he saw that two reliable courtiers were also dissatisfied with Song Zhancheng, and he couldn't understand what Song Zhancheng had done, which caused the anger of the courtiers? However, this is obviously not the time to pursue this, and the emperor has made up his mind.

"Everyone, Aiqing!"

The emperor's majesty is still there, and as soon as the words come out, the ministers are also a little quieter. The emperor rubbed the corners of his forehead at the right time, showing a headache and impatience, Deng Min leaned over and asked, "Your Majesty is in the way?" ”

Waving his hand, the emperor showed a sense of exhaustion, "Okay, I am not feeling well today, so let's retire for the time being!" ”

"This ...... Emperor! "There was someone else who wanted to say something, but he was pulled by the person next to him, so he had to give up.

Bedroom.

The emperor, who should have fallen asleep, was very energetic, his eyes were blazing, staring at the pen and ink in front of the table. Deng Min accompanied the attendants, his face was as usual, as for how to roll in his heart, he didn't say much.

"Your Majesty, you drink tea."

The emperor picked up the tea bowl and asked, "What do you think of today's court affairs?" Alas~ If you have anything to say, just say it, I am confused by them! ”

Deng Min smiled, "Your Majesty said that you have already made up your mind, why embarrass the old slave?" The old slave's mind can't turn around with those ministers who can speak well. ”

The Emperor turned his face to look at him, not saying a word, all in eye contact. If an outsider sees it here, he must sigh, this tacit understanding is really a master and servant who has been in office for half a lifetime, and the friendship is deep!

The prince was surrounded by ministers, and compared to Song Zhancheng, who was weak, he was completely different.

"Lord, the prince intends to kill you, the situation in the capital is not getting worse day by day, you better go to the northwest as soon as possible, maybe...... Alas! The person who whispered was none other than General Fei, who was drunk by Song Zhancheng that day.
