Chapter 118: King of Qinghe County
In the imperial study, there was silence, and the incense wafting from it was like silk, dissipating in the blue light.
After a moment of silence, Emperor Zhaowen spoke.
"There is some truth in what the prince said."
As soon as these words came out, the prince was obviously relieved, and he found that the Duke of Dingguo next to him was also a little more relaxed.
"I also hope that my father can think carefully and think about the happiness of the fifteenth sister in the future." He said.
"She was the one who gave me the marriage, and now she says she doesn't want this marriage." Emperor Zhaowen's preference for his daughter is obviously more than that of the crown prince, "Well, when I am free, I will go to her and ask, if it is really as you said, I will reconsider." ”
"Father, Emperor Shengming." The prince lowered his head and hid the unwillingness on his face.
My father has always been biased, he used to be biased towards that, but now he is biased towards this, anyway, his heart has never been biased towards him.
He should have gotten used to it!
Emperor Zhaowen didn't know what he was thinking, and waved his hand to make him and Dingguo Gong retreat.
When there were only two people in the imperial study, he rubbed his eyebrows and sighed.
"Don't let me worry." He said, "Dequan, where is Ziyang Zhenren?" Will he enter the palace today? ”
Ziyang Zhenren is a Taoist priest in Ansan, three years ago in Beijing, because he saved the life of General Wang's youngest son and was known by Emperor Zhaowen, and later the harem had a prince who also suffered from the same symptoms, and Emperor Zhaowen invited people into the palace to treat the prince.
Emperor Zhaowen hit it off with him at first sight, talked about the past and the present, and then listened to him talk about the matter of becoming an immortal cultivator, and he was even more interested.
However, in two years, he wanted to leave the capital and go to Ansan to cultivate with Ziyang Zhenren.
But I didn't expect to be stumped by the marriage of the fifteenth princess, so I missed the time.
He also thought about it, it is not impossible to cultivate in the palace, but Ziyang Zhenren said that the palace is a place of wealth and wealth, and there are too many people and things, and it is not a place for cultivation, if it is forced to do so, it will probably backfire, so he gave up.
Dequan replied: "Ziyang Zhenren did not enter the palace today, and the disciple said that Zhenren is in retreat at the Taoist Temple, and he will not leave the palace until three days later. ”
This temple was specially commissioned by Emperor Zhaowen to build it, so that the real person could concentrate on asking.
"Then invite the real person into the palace in three days." Emperor Zhaowen got up from the dragon chair and smoothed the hem of his clothes, "Go find the fifteenth princess." ”
Dequan responded and followed behind.
……
……
Dingguo Gong and the crown prince walked side by side on the flat and wide road, and a row of guards passed by and saluted in unison.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Duke Dingguo."
The crown prince waved his hand and walked in front irritably, and Dingguo Gong hurriedly caught up with him.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, for solving this problem for the dog." He was grateful for the gift, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks so much about Yunzhen, and the minister is really ashamed as a father. ”
The prince turned his head to look at him, his eyes heavy.
"I don't know if Dingguo Gong is really planning for the prince, if the prince knows that his father almost ruined him, will he be so angry that he will beat someone!"
He is also angry, and many things are not going well today, so that his usual good temper is gone.
When Dingguo Gong heard this, he was wronged.
"It was for Yunzhen's sake that the minister explained for him in front of His Majesty." After he finished speaking, he glanced at the prince, "Although His Royal Highness is speaking for Yun Zhen, but his words have offended His Majesty's rebellion, if the minister does not defend himself, I am afraid that Yun Zhen will really be punished." ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also knows that His Majesty dislikes people disobeying his will the most, and the minister is afraid that if he is not careful, his son will be condemned and there is no way to justify it."
He must maintain the image of a good father in front of others, otherwise Yunzhen will really make trouble when he returns home.
"In the future, ask Zhou Yunzhen to be well-behaved, don't always cause trouble." The prince said coldly, shook his sleeves and left.
"Is it really his son that Yunzhen is really his son?" Ding Guogong looked at his back and muttered.
……
……
The prince's anger gradually dissipated under the running all the way, and when he returned to the East Palace, it was no longer obvious that he had just been angry.
A subordinate official of the East Palace slowly greeted him.
"Your Highness, are things going well?" He asked, looking apprehensive.
Looking at His Royal Highness the Prince's face, he really can't see any fame, but it's not good for him to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince if it's not going well, right?
The prince gave him a faint look.
"The palace has said everything that should be said, and as for what the father wants, the palace can't control it."
When the subordinate officer saw him say this, he felt a little bottom in his heart.
It should be done to persuade His Majesty to withdraw the decree of marriage.
His heart was heavy.
"Your Highness thinks so much about Your Majesty, Your Majesty will understand one day." He reassured.
The prince scoffed.
"If my father really knows, he is not my father. Bengong is also his son, and he doesn't do things badly, but he likes that Xie Jingchao, and he doesn't take Bengong in his eyes at all. ”
He said a little unabashedly, and just wanted to spit out the injustice in his heart in an instant.
The subordinate officer was frightened and turned white when he heard this.
"Your Highness, you can't say this, if Your Majesty listens to it, it will be bad!" He said, looking around to the left and right.
The prince also knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he kept his mouth shut, and his face gradually returned to calm.
"How long have Yu Dafeng and Yao Pu been out of Beijing?" He asked.
The subordinate officer replied, "More than two months."
The prince nodded.
"Let them all come back." He said, "Especially Yu Dafeng, he must return to Beijing immediately, and if he doesn't leave there, my father is afraid that he will condemn him." ”
"Don't be careful, if you can't control those people, don't touch their moldy heads, lest you provoke yourself."
The last few words were a bit heavy, and the subordinate officials could hear that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was angry.
This is the first time that Lord Yu has been scolded by His Royal Highness the Prince, and it seems that His Majesty reprimanded His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for Lord Yu's search for the prince.
He bowed his head and replied respectfully.
As soon as he left the house, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy happened to be surrounded by a group of subordinates, he was wearing a dazzling royal blue robe, his shoulders were ruyi cloud patterns, and a casual smile appeared on his handsome face.
"His Royal Highness." The subordinate official said.
The king of Qinghe raised his hand: "My father has just come back, right?" The king has something to discuss with him. ”
As he spoke, he walked up the steps, and a few people behind him hurriedly followed.
The subordinate official couldn't help but call him and reminded: "King of the county, Your Highness is angry at this time, don't annoy Your Highness." ”
He couldn't help but remind the county king, because if the county king entered the house like this, he would definitely be reprimanded by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never liked the king of the county, and if it weren't for this one son, he probably wouldn't want to see him.
Because the existence of the county king was an accident.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still young at that time, and he was drunk and pampered a woman who came to Yuwang's Mansion to tailor clothes for him.
The woman died after giving birth to the princess of the county, and the prince was left in the palace of King Yu, and later His Royal Highness the prince became a relative, and the child was raised under Princess Yu, that is, the current princess.
The crown princess has been married to His Royal Highness for more than ten years and has not given birth to a son and a half daughter, so she treats the prince like her own child.
But if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to teach the prince a lesson, the crown princess can't persuade him, after all, His Royal Highness the crown prince doesn't like his crown princess.
The king of Qinghe County was stunned when he heard this.
He retracted his right foot as he stepped up the steps.
"Since my father has troubles, the minister still won't bother him." He said, waving his sleeve and motioning for the others to come with him.
"Qinghe, come in." In the main hall, the prince's calm voice sounded, although it was not loud, but the king of Qinghe County heard it very clearly.
He didn't want to go in, he didn't dare to leave, so he just stood still.
It was still the kind of subordinate who reminded him to enter the house quickly so as not to be scolded, and he stepped up the steps as if he had just woken up from a dream.
When he entered the house, he saluted first and said, "Father." ”
After that, he secretly looked at the prince and observed whether his expression was happy or angry.
Unexpectedly, he happened to collide with the prince's gaze, and he immediately withdrew his gaze and stood quietly aside.
"What is the matter with my father looking for his son?" He asked, feeling a gaze stabbing at his shoulder like a sword, stabbing painfully.
The crown prince walked in front of him, and in vain brought a depressing atmosphere, causing the king of Qinghe to shrink his shoulders slightly.
"Tell me for yourself, what good deeds have you done?" He reprimanded, "There is a secret report to the palace, saying that you have hired a group of killers to go south, Qinghe, what do you want to do?" ”
His eyes stared straight at the King of Qinghe, like a sharp sword.
