Chapter 207: Dispute
Above the court, there were constant disputes.
"Your Majesty, the envoys of the Yan Kingdom have come to Beijing, and the matter is very important, and it should be received by His Royal Highness ......the Crown Prince," an official said, holding up the Chao Wat.
Another official hurriedly took two steps forward, also holding the court wat in his hand: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is busy with affairs, I am afraid that he will not have the energy, His Royal Highness King Ping has recently dealt with all the victims of the disaster in Zhaozhou, and there is nothing to ......do at hand."
The officials who stared at him gritted their teeth in anger.
This is just for His Royal Highness King Ping to speak, and he has to turn over the matter of Chen Sesame and rotten grain! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been reprimanded by His Majesty because of the floods in Zhaozhou, and it is simply ill-intentioned for him to bring it up at this time!
"Ji Zhao! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the prince of Dasheng, and it is incumbent on him to receive envoys, so how can he delay his business because of the trivial matters at hand? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the name is right......" he said angrily.
The official named Ji Zhao glanced at him lightly, and then turned his head to look at Emperor Zhaowen with a sad face.
"Your Majesty, the reception of envoys is not only a matter of the prince, but also an important matter of the entire Dasheng, His Royal Highness King Ping, as a prince, has no shirk responsibility for His Majesty." He said, pointing to the official next to him, "Lord Zong is like this, but I am afraid that His Royal Highness King Ping has done a good job and stole the limelight from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" ”
This insinuation made Master Zong grit his teeth in anger.
Master Zong knew what Ji Zhao wanted to say, it was nothing more than the improper use of people by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince over the flood in Zhaozhou, which caused the people of Zhaozhou to be in dire straits. And after this matter was handed over to His Royal Highness King Ping, everything went smoothly and gained a good reputation for His Royal Highness King Ping.
"You!" He said angrily, "Ji Zhao, you don't want to talk nonsense!" How could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ......"
"Master Zong's words are cautious." The crown prince, who was standing at the forefront, said lightly, interrupting the scolding that Master Zong was about to blurt out.
As soon as Lord Zong heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince speak, he immediately closed his mouth, but he still glared at Ji Zhao very unconvinced.
Ji Zhao looked back at him fearlessly, with disdain in his eyes.
Emperor Zhaowen, who was sitting on the top, leaned his head on the dragon chair, and closed his eyes and didn't know whether he was asleep or resting.
When there was no sound below, he slowly opened his eyes, leaning to look lazy and comfortable.
"Done arguing?" He said, snorting.
The officials below suddenly didn't dare to keep silent, and obediently lowered their heads.
They have already spoken their minds, and now they are waiting for His Majesty's decision.
"Father, this matter is not in a hurry, Father and Emperor will think about it slowly." King Ping arched his hand and said.
He had already told Emperor Zhaowen in private that this time the envoys of Yan Kingdom came to Beijing, and he wanted to receive the envoys as the host, for one reason, he had never received envoys from other countries, so he was very curious so he wanted to try, that's all.
Of course, because of the strong opposition of the prince's faction, Emperor Zhaowen did not determine the candidate.
King Ping thought that it was still early, and he was not in a hurry.
But in the eyes of some officials, he just didn't care about it.
Otherwise, how could you persuade Your Majesty not to rush to choose someone? They thought to themselves.
"His Royal Highness King Ping said that this matter is not urgent, so dare to ask His Highness, why is it urgent?" An official came out of the ranks and said righteously, "Your Majesty, how can His Royal Highness King Ping take on such a big responsibility?" ”
Nowadays, these officials are seeing the needles and seizing the opportunity to find fault with others.
His Royal Highness King Ping glanced at him, and then said helplessly to Emperor Zhaowen: "Father, Lord Zhang said so about his son, and his son is called Qu. ”
He arched his hand, his body was straight, and his elegance was peerless, "Father, the son doesn't want to steal the limelight from the prince, he just wants to see it for a long time." If Lord Zhang insisted on saying this, Erchen would not participate in this reception. ”
He said so, stepped back into the ranks, and said no more.
This method of retreating is like a punch on cotton, and Master Zhang was so choked that he couldn't say anything.
He moved his mouth, and before he could explain, he was cut off by Emperor Zhaowen.
"Master Zhang, how can you be so aggressive? King Ping only said that he was not in a hurry because of my consideration. He said, scolding all the people who were arguing with him by the way, "You don't think about me one by one, you will only give me problems!" What do I want you to do! Cheng Ri is on top of this hall, prevarication, what kind of system! ”
"The crown prince and the king of peace are both my sons, what do they say, what they do, and where do they need you to remind me!"
"Let you think of a way, but you can't think of any way, when something happens, you will shirk your responsibility!"
Emperor Zhaowen scolded whatever he thought, and scolded a group of officials to the point of bowing their heads.
In the ranks, there were a few people, their heads raised high, with a clear conscience, and a slight squeak of schadenfreude.
As soon as they saw Emperor Zhaowen's gaze, they immediately lowered their heads and pretended to be guilty.
The anger of the main hall was suddenly suppressed to the extreme, and the ministers did not dare to say a word, for fear that Emperor Zhaowen would be angry and tell them some of the wrong things they had done before.
"Dumb? Don't say anything? Emperor Zhaowen snorted and sat up straight, "The envoys of the Yan Kingdom will come to Sheng, it will be next year, and now there are still a few months, and you will make a lot of trouble because of the reception of candidates, so when the envoys come to Beijing, do you still have to quarrel about who will talk about things?" ”
"Let the envoys of the Yan Kingdom see how far our Dasheng's courtiers can quarrel!"
Emperor Zhaowen spoke sharply and sarcastically, and the ministers were ashamed and embarrassed.
"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty!" Ji Zhao immediately knelt down to make amends.
Seeing this, the others also hurriedly knelt down.
Whether you want to or not, kneel down with others and feel more at ease.
Ministers think so.
Emperor Zhaowen looked at the ministers who were kneeling on the ground, and his face eased a lot.
"Alright, let's all get up." He said, "I have my own ideas for the reception of the envoys, and what you should do now is to finish your work!" ”
The ministers replied yes.
After retreating, the crown prince walked out of the main hall, and the master of the sect behind hurriedly caught up with him.
"His Royal Highness the Prince."
The prince looked back at him.
"What?" He said.
Master Zong said ashamedly: "Fang Caichen was so angry that he was carried away by Ji Zhao, so he ......"
The prince said lightly: "It's not your fault, Ji Zhao's mouth is already powerful." ”
He said so, and walked away.
Master Zong still wanted to catch up, but when he saw an East Palace guard waiting at the door not far away, he thought about it and walked away from the other side.
"Your Highness." The guard Shi Li said, "His Royal Highness the King of the County has already gone to the Li Mansion. ”
"He's figured it out now." The prince's expression was flat, but there was a slight relief in his words, "Qinghe is doing this, it's very good, and the palace can spend less effort on making friends with the Li Mansion." ”
The guards replied.
He thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, the three people of Yu have sent someone to the news, he has gone to Gwangju to check on Second Mrs. Li, except for finding out that Lord Chen Ke is her father, there is nothing wrong with anything else. ”
The prince frowned slightly, shook his head and said: "Yao Pu will not go to the Li Mansion to see Second Mrs. Li out of nowhere, she must have a secret, but Yu Bufeng did not find out." ”
The guards looked at him, their eyes twinkling slightly.
"The three people of Yu have carefully checked it three times, and there is nothing abnormal." He said, asking tentatively, "Could it be that Lord Yao is mistaken?" Your Royal Highness, you also know what Lord Yao has become in order to catch Xue Yijian, if he is radical for a while and finds the wrong person, it is not impossible. ”
The crown prince looked at him with a flat gaze.
"It seems that Yu Dafeng is more able to buy people's hearts than this palace." He said, sneering.
The guards hurriedly knelt down.
"Your Highness, your subordinates don't dare!" He defended, "The subordinates just saw that His Highness had wasted a lot of energy for Lord Yao, so he couldn't help but persuade him......"
"Your Royal Highness, now His Royal Highness King Ping dares to say directly in front of His Majesty that you are not, and my subordinates are afraid that if Your Highness is distracted by Lord Yao again, he will be caught by His Royal Highness King Ping......"
"Your Royal Highness, the most important thing now is to deal with His Royal Highness King Ping, not to ...... Second Lady Li."
He kept begging for mercy, but the prince still looked at him coldly.
After a while, the prince took two steps forward.
He said as he walked, "You remember, there is no next time." ”
The guard Nono responded, smiling at the success of his plan out of sight of the prince.
His Royal Highness's mind should not have been placed on Lord Yao.
Lord Yu was right.
