Chapter 67: The Master of the Harem (2)

"Big brother, don't blame the third brother, blame me for not telling him, it's my responsibility." Long Xingrong finally stopped laughing, and admitted his mistake to Niu Tianci with a serious face.

Niu Tianci was very relieved in his heart, Long Xingrong was able to take the initiative to take the responsibility to protect Wang Meng, which showed that he regarded Wang Meng and himself as brothers from the bottom of his heart. What's even more gratifying is that Long Xingrong can take responsibility for his brother, which is a very precious quality.

"Second brother, third brother. I am the eldest of the three of us, and I should teach my younger brother by example. This incident is caused by my failure to explain the rules of the palace to Wang Meng, and the responsibility lies with me. I will write to Your Majesty to ask Him not to be angry with others. Both of you should also remember that the husband must have the courage to take responsibility when he is born between heaven and earth, and must not evade responsibility out of fear, let alone blame others. To be a man is to be upright, so that he will not come to this world in vain. ”

"Obey the teachings of the eldest brother, and the younger brothers will remember." Long Xingrong and Wang Meng bowed their hands and replied in unison.

Bang bang, the sound of high-fives came, and Emperor Su Zheng and Empress Li turned out of the corner and walked over to the three of them.

"Meet your father." The four of them quickly fell to their knees.

Peach Blossom's face turned pale, and she knelt on the ground trembling. Wang Meng didn't dare to raise his head, after all, he killed other people's golden chickens, and he also knew the seriousness of the matter, so he was a little nervous. However, the brocade cocktail feathers on Wang Meng's head were swaying in the wind, which was very beautiful, and it immediately attracted the attention of Queen Li.

"Get up. Rong'er, do you know what went wrong today? Emperor Su Zheng asked Long Xingrong solemnly.

Erchen failed to warn Wang Meng in time, and Wang Meng failed to correct his mistakes in time after he made a mistake, and he also covered up the evidence with him to evade responsibility. As the prince, Erchen failed to manage his subordinates well, and as an elder brother, he failed to fulfill the responsibility of guiding, and Erchen was guilty of asking his father to punish him behind the scenes. ”

"Rong'er can know her ********, and I am very relieved. What makes me even happier is that you have two good subordinates. There are also two good brothers, and I am very relieved. ”

Emperor Su Zheng turned to look at Niu Tianci, his eyes flickered, and only after a long time did he say: "Niu Tianci is a brother as the prince's attendant. Be able not to evade responsibility and have the courage to take responsibility. Be thoughtful and reasonable. Exemplary. But as you said, as the prince's attendant, you failed to correct the prince's inappropriate words and deeds in time, and as a brother, you failed to warn your brother in time, and you should be punished for your crimes. Niu Tianci, do you have any complaints? ”

"The minister has no complaints, please punish Your Majesty." Niu Tianci knelt down again and pleaded guilty. Long Xingrong and Wang Meng were about to speak, but they were stopped by Queen Li shaking her hand.

"Good. From tomorrow onwards, I will punish you to go to the imperial study to accompany me to study. At the same time, the crown prince also had to go to the imperial study to accompany me to deal with the government affairs, and Wang Meng accompanied him to protect him. Cow God. Do you understand? ”

"I understand. The Ministers are grateful. ”

Long Xingrong and Wang Meng breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. Where Emperor Suzheng punished Niu Tianci, it was clearly a reward in disguise. Accompanying the emperor to study is not something that ordinary people can do, and those who have this qualification are all talented officials in the court, and all of them are people who are deeply favored by the emperor. This position can be in the court officials, or it can be talented officials and white clothes.

Of course, most of the people who can accompany the emperor to study will eventually rise to the top. Therefore, Emperor Su Zheng said that he was punishing Niu Tianci to accompany him to study, which was actually rewarding him for his performance just now. It can be seen from this that Emperor Suzheng's scheming is very deep. It's not like that, in the court. And it can also be seen that Emperor Su Zheng does care for the crown prince Long Xingrong, although he is not as prominent as the queen. But Niu Tianci can still feel it.

The so-called mother's love is like the sea, and father's love is like a mountain. Niu Tianci had a new judgment on Emperor Suzheng in his heart. Therefore, the evaluation of a person cannot be simply distinguished by good or bad, the position is different, the starting point of looking at things is different, and the conclusions drawn are completely different. Just like people who look at the Three Kingdoms say that Cao Cao is a hero, this hero has a derogatory connotation. But what kind of person is Cao Cao? Everyone's point of view is different. You can only say that Cao Cao, whom the author of the Three Kingdoms describes in the book, can only represent his personal point of view, and is the words of one family.

So specifically when it comes to Emperor Suzheng, he may not be a successful and open-minded king, and it can even be said that Emperor Suzheng is a somewhat mediocre emperor. But Niu Tianci also had to admit it. Emperor Su Zheng was a good father. This is the multifaceted and complex nature of human beings. Niu Tianci decided to take advantage of this opportunity to observe Emperor Suzheng well, grasp his strengths and find out his weaknesses.

Emperor Su Zheng looked at the mess all over the ground, turned his head to Peach Blossom and said, "Tao Hua, what are you doing here as a minion?" Why don't you go and move the tables and chairs, I heard that the cow waiter has made a lot of good dishes, and I will eat here today. ”

Gao Ping praised again and again, pulled up the peach blossoms and went to arrange.

"Wang Meng, since you dare to kill, you have the courage to eat, it's not right to roast those chickens well and spoil the food. Hehehe, why are you still wearing a leather armor and your equipment is still so neat. Are you ready to fight at any time? ”

When Emperor Su Zheng saw Wang Meng, he liked it from the bottom of his heart. In addition to Wang Meng's straightforward temperament, there is also a trace of indescribable feeling. Emperor Su Zheng always felt that Wang Meng was inextricably linked with him, but he couldn't explain it clearly and couldn't figure it out. But Emperor Su Zheng just likes to see Wang Meng, and Emperor Su Zheng himself is very strange about this.

"Huh? Your Majesty, the last general likes to wear this armor. Also, I want to go to the battlefield in the future. So, be prepared now. Wang Meng replied with a big grin.

"Hahaha. Okay, I'll give you this chance in the future, don't let me down. Well, this brometrical cocktail feathers do look good on the helmet. I'm sure you'll dress up like this in the future, and you're the only one in the Great Yan Army who has this right, okay? ”

"That's great, Your Majesty."

Hahaha, Emperor Su Zheng stroked his beard and laughed, he was really happy today. Empress Li walked up to Wang Meng, stretched out her hand to pluck six tail feathers and handed them to Wang Meng.

"If you have too many tail feathers, it will not be majestic, so it is best to insert one on one side, and keep the rest for replacement. In the future, don't kill the golden chicken, in Liaodong golden chicken is a symbol of good luck. When a family in Liaodong marries a daughter-in-law, the bride has to hold a golden chicken. Take the prosperity of the family business, the icing on the cake. In the future, when you marry a daughter-in-law, the mourning family will give you a golden chicken, okay? ”

"Okay, Queen Xie."

Hahaha, Emperor Su Zheng is most satisfied with the queen. The husband sings and the wife follows, and Empress Li and Emperor Su Zheng cooperate seamlessly.

"God, the mourning family also wants to thank you, you are much more cheerful when you come. The mourners hope that your brothers can get along like this forever. ”

"Niangniang, please rest assured, the minister and the prince are like brothers, even if the minister is broken by himself. I won't let the prince get hurt in any way. Of course, Niu Tianci knows what a mother is most worried about, so it is necessary to express his determination at this time. However, Niu Tianci felt a little stinging in his heart, when Emperor Su Zheng treated the Yan family like this, forcing Tianci's mother and son to separate, why didn't he think about it at that time.

"God, the house that Your Majesty gave you, the mourning family has already chosen it for you, and I will send a female official to help you clean up and arrange it another day."

"Xie Niangniang, but the minister spends most of his time with His Majesty and the Prince. I'm afraid I don't have time to take care of my house. ”

"This is easy to do, wouldn't it be nice to marry a daughter-in-law and go home? God, do you have a marriage contract? There are a lot of high-ranking ladies in this capital, if you like someone, the mourning family will make the decision for you. ”

came again, and Niu Tianci had to tell the truth about his marriage contract. Empress Li looked very sorry, kept asking about Yuan Yuan's situation, and asked Tianci to quickly bring Yuan Yuan to the capital. Look at this meaning, the queen wants to check it herself. Long Xingrong looked curiously at his mother and his eldest brother talking about Yuan Yuan, and he kept imagining what his sister-in-law looked like in his mind. Emperor Su Zheng looked at Long Xingrong's appearance and laughed secretly. I couldn't help but sigh again. My son is older, and he has begun to be interested in girls, which is a good thing.

Tables and chairs are set up, and food and drinks are arranged. Under the signal of Emperor Su Zheng, everyone dared to sit at the table and eat with confidence. Emperor Su Zheng saw that everyone was more restrained, so he put down his chopsticks and picked up a roasted brocade chicken and tore it in half. Half of it was given to the cow. Half was given to Wang Meng, and half was given to Long Xingrong. Then he tore off two chicken legs himself, one for the queen and one into his mouth.

"Well, this brocade chicken looks good. I didn't expect the meat to be so delicious. Queen, if I want to eat brocade chicken in the future, let Wang Meng go to the Imperial Garden to beat you, how about it? ”

Bang bang, the queen's two pink fists kept falling on Emperor Su Zheng's shoulders, and the people at the table laughed. Gao Ping glanced at Peach Blossom, which meant that it was okay, no need to worry.

"Master, you will also take care of Niu Shi in the future, my life with him is much better." Peach Blossom whispered to Gao Ping. Gao Ping smiled and nodded, as Emperor Suzheng's henchmen, how could Gao Ping not know how to treat Niu Tianci and the brothers.

Emperor Su Zheng and his family returned to Jiaofang Palace. Because he was very happy today, Emperor Su Zheng couldn't help but drink a few more cups, and he was a little tired at this time, so the queen waited for Emperor Su Zheng to go to bed in a wide robe. When Emperor Su Zheng fell into a deep sleep, a palace maid gently came over and said to Li Fanghua: "Queen Mother, Lord Li has been waiting for Mother for a long time. ”

Li Fanghua folded the quilt for Emperor Suzheng and left quietly. At this time, Li Ke was waiting for Li Fanghua in the side hall, and as soon as he saw Li Fanghua coming, he couldn't wait to ask, "How is Rong'er?" Is the gas gone? ”

"It's okay, it's just a child's temper, don't worry."

"How's that cow godsend?"

"I think it's very good, it's an upright person, and it's capable. And I think he is sincere to Rong'er. His Majesty has asked him to accompany himself and the crown prince to study. ”

"Oh? Niu Tianci is really different. That's fine, Rong'er is too lonely after all. I'll carefully check the details of Niu Tianci. Also, in the future, you should not be too strict with Your Majesty, you need to know that the rain and dew will also make the harem harmonious, and the most important thing is not to lose the big because of the small. ”

"Hmph, his legs are on his own, and I can't help it if he doesn't go. Besides, no matter how strict the precautions are, there are times of negligence. What if there is a situation like the one in Liaodong Palace? This is a royal palace, and there are many eyes and ears. The harem seems to be peaceful, but those concubines are not fuel-efficient lamps, so I can't kill them one by one. ”

"Well, you can do whatever you want. Just don't let Your Majesty be resentful of you, if Rong'er doesn't ascend the throne for a day, we won't be able to relax for a day. ”

"I know this, brother don't worry."

Li Ke stood up and hugged Li Fanghua.

"I've wronged you all these years."

"Brother~~~~, I'm not wronged, with Brother and Rong'er, I'm very satisfied. Brother, you should also marry a lady, you have been too bitter for yourself for so many years. ”

Lick shook his head and said, "I hate myself for being incompetent, I don't deserve a lover, I don't deserve it." ”

Li Fanghua hugged Li Ke gently, and her beautiful eyes were full of tears. After a long time, the two separated. Li Ke handed a pamphlet to Li Fanghua.

"Put it away carefully, this is the roster of personnel transferred from Liaodong, and these people have been arranged into Qianniuwei. So far, Qianniuwei has been completely replaced, tomorrow I will promote Wu Li as the general of Qianniuwei, tomorrow morning Your Majesty will go to court, you tell him. You put away these silver tickets, and don't be stingy where you should spend money. ”

"yes, got it."

Li Ke hugged Li Fanghua again, turned around and walked out of the side hall, and walked towards the outside of the palace. The wind is cold and the air is cold. Li Ke walked faster and faster, and there was a fire in his heart that needed to be vented. It's not far away, the day of anticipation is not far away, Li Ke said to himself secretly.
