The court meeting was just a routine affair, and the emperor's appearance in Fengtian Hall to summon the courtiers was the biggest event in the capital, and no one among the princes and nobles and civil and military officials present dared to question why the emperor had not been in court for nearly three months.

In fact, even if the emperor did not come to the court for three months, the court was also in order, because there were officials from three provinces and six ministries in the court to deal with court affairs, and there were eunuchs from the inner chamberlain and ceremonial supervisors to review and play back for big and small matters, so that there was no chaos in the court.

At the court meeting, a total of three things were said, the first is that the New Year is approaching, and the court is ready to give some rewards to the princes and ministers, and each person has almost 20 to 100 stone of rice for the "year-end bonus"; The second thing is the examination after the year, the imperial court asked the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites to prepare, and submitted the roster of the chief examiner and fellow examiners to the emperor for review; The third thing is the ceremony of sealing Zen after the year, when there will be some envoys from Fanbang to worship in the capital, it happened to be after the trial list, it was the spring in March, the emperor wanted to take the opportunity to feast the ministers, showing the prosperity of the Dayong Dynasty from all over the world.

It's all a face-saving project, and what officials care about most is actually their own rice, and an official with a positive five grades can get an additional reward of 20 stone rice, which is a lot, but in fact, according to the price of rice in the capital, there is not much.

Zhao Yuanrong has been standing below, never stepped forward to speak, he is not in a very good mental state of his father, she sighed in her heart: "My father and brother have been indulging in wine recently, how can I rest assured?" Maybe there are evil villains who connive and instigate in front of them, or someone is behind the conspiracy! ”

For the people in the royal family, Zhao Yuanrong is still very vigilant.

Zhao Yuanrong knew very well that King Chong might threaten her own throne, so she was also wary of Zhao Yuanxuan, she originally wanted to win over Ji Ning, but she was secretly worried that Ji Ning was close to the people of King Chong's Mansion, so she didn't dare to tell the truth, which made Ji Ning think that she was blocking something, and she was unwilling to help her sincerely.

There were not many things, but the court meeting lasted for an hour before it ended, Zhao Yuanrong came out of the palace, silent alone, she originally had plans to enter the palace to see the emperor, but when she saw the emperor's tired body, she still dispelled this thought, because she felt that this was not the best time for her to meet.

"My father even forgot to tell me to go out of Beijing to do the errand, and he doesn't care if I do it or not, I guess he only cares about two things now, one is good wine and beautiful sex, and the other is his elixir!" Zhao Yuanrong was indignant in his heart.

In her heart, her father has always been wise and martial, but after the former prince "rebelled" against the East Window, she began to understand that the so-called Ming Lord was only admired by others, and her father was not much different from those faint monarchs.

After the death of Empress Xiaohui, Zhao Yuanrong also knew that her father was addicted to wine, and at that time she thought that maybe her father was immersed in the pain of her mother's death, and then she realized that in fact, the emperor's nature is like this, and even the emperor will let officials from all over the country offer beautiful women in order to get beauties, which is unreasonable in Zhao Yuanrong's opinion.

"In the past, although my father's private life was erosive, at least he could handle court affairs well and make good use of people, but now he completely believes in the Li brothers and sisters, and treats the court as a child's play, and even he himself doesn't ask about court affairs, is this leaving our Zhao family's country to others to take care of?"

The more Zhao Yuanrong thought about it, the more angry she became, and just when she didn't know how to express her dissatisfaction, a voice came from not far away: "Imperial niece, don't come unharmed?" ”

Zhao Yuanrong looked sideways, but saw King Chong coming over with a smile, and deliberately wanted to come over to talk to her.

If Zhao Yuanrong doesn't want to see the person he wants to see at the moment, one is Concubine Li Guifei, and the other is King Chong.

One is a woman who made her father change from a Ming lord to a faint king, and the other is an uncle who covets her father's throne, both of them are chaotic ministers and thieves in her eyes, but out of politeness, she still salutes King Chong, but does not say anything.

"The imperial niece is going out of the palace? I wonder if I can take a step to speak? King Chong asked.

Zhao Yuanrong said: "If Uncle Huang has anything to say, just say it here!" ”

Chongwang said: "Imperial niece, this matter is very important, it is always inconvenient to say it here, if it is listened to by others, it will affect the stability of the imperial court!" ”

Zhao Yuanrong narrowed her eyes, she was thinking about what would make this imperial uncle so mysterious, and finally she said: "If the imperial uncle really thinks that the matter is very important, he can go down and say it, why mention it in front of so many people in the palace?" ”

King Chong hesitated for a moment before he said, "There are some things that must be said earlier, this matter is ...... This king has just heard about it, and it is said that ...... King Hui intends to raise troops to make a rebellion, and now he is forming a party in the court and preparing to commit rebellion, but now this king can't go to face the saint, so he has to say to the princess, let the princess you go up to the heavens! ”

Zhao Yuanrong thought to himself: "What does King Chong mean? Knowing that I can't see my father now, he came to me to say that King Hui was going to rebel, did he want to test whether the emperor could get news from the outside, or did he think that I might become a helper to help him commit trouble? ”

"Such a major matter, this palace is not suitable for casual discussions, both of them are the imperial uncles of this palace, both are members of the royal family, why is it too anxious to fight each other in the same room, and people in the royal family should uphold the principle of harmony." Zhao Yuanrong said, "Since Uncle Huang knows about this, why don't you go and explain it to King Hui and persuade King Hui to turn back?" ”

Because Zhao Yuanrong and Chongwang originally had a false grievance between them, they all had ghosts in their hearts, and they were also extremely perfunctory in the conversation.

King Chong sighed: "King Hui is in trouble, if this king can persuade him, it is naturally better to persuade him, but he actually dares to secretly contact this king, let this king cooperate with him to commit rebellion, and also said that he will promise this king to be the prince of eternal life to ensure the glory and wealth of this king." Joke, the current identity and status of this king, need to be given with him? Could it be that this king will follow him into trouble? ”

Zhao Yuanrong looked at King Chong's gaze a little strange, she squinted her eyes for a long time, and said: "King Chong still played this matter to his father as soon as possible, although this palace is a princess, but such a big matter does not dare to interfere, if my father knows that I interfere in such a thing, I am afraid that this palace itself will also be affected!" Uncle Huang thinks it for himself! ”

King Chong was a little disappointed and said: "The emperor's niece is so wise to protect herself, it really disappoints this king, I originally thought that the emperor's niece was a responsible person, since this is the case, this king will find an opportunity to play Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will decide this matter!" ”

After speaking, King Chong left with great steps, Zhao Yuanrong looked at King Chong's back for a long time, and only then did he spit out three words in his mouth: "Old fox!" ”
