At the beginning, the person who took the lead in kneeling was clearly the national abbot, which was nothing more than decryption for the emperor.

The national ruler naturally wants to stand up for the second prince, after all, the second prince is his grandson.

This countryman came out like this, isn't it probably the queen's order?

What the emperor fears most is the collusion between the former dynasty and the harem.

In fact, to put it bluntly, if it is one or two people who intercede for the second prince, the emperor may still feel that the second prince is a concubine in the end, and there should always be someone who should dare to speak.

Or rather, this abbot should always have to intercede for his grandson.

But right now, it's just too much.

The person who knelt on the ground with a smile, you asked the emperor to look at it with a normal heart, he is usually so suspicious, but I am afraid that it really can't be done.

The emperor said coldly, "What Zhongqing means is that if I don't let go today, you will have to kneel here for a long time?" ”

As soon as the abbot heard it, he knew that something was wrong, and he was at the forefront, and now he looked back slightly—before he could even turn his head, he heard the emperor say again, "What, the abbot has nothing to say now?" ”

The abbot hurriedly bowed his head again, "Your Majesty forgives you." ”

This is clearly what he ordered, even if he made a reprimand in the court, the rest of the people would just pass it as if there was no such thing, how could someone kneel down so uncontrollably?

Guozhang felt strange in his heart.

Then another courtier's voice rang out behind him, "Your Majesty! His Royal Highness the Second Prince is the concubine of the Middle Palace, how noble his identity is, even the people have a vague voice of designating the Second Prince as the prince repeatedly, so if His Majesty treats or ignores His Royal Highness the Second Prince, I am afraid that it will make the people panic! I beg your majesty to be merciful! ”

- What are these words!!

Guozhang's face turned white in an instant.

And this voice ...... It doesn't sound right.

This waiter of the Ministry of Rites was not their person in the first place, he was the person of the eldest prince who stood on the bright side.

But they have always been clear, but the emperor is clear or not, and no one knows this.

But this is inevitably too much of a rebellion.

Just say - Emperor, this person is the next emperor in the eyes of the people, you still don't want to be right with the people here.

This is indeed coercion, threatening.

The emperor has been in a high position for many years, where can he endure such a threat, and at the moment he slapped the dragon chair and shouted, "Presumptuous!" ”

Guozhang hurriedly raised his head, "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty......"

The emperor snorted coldly, "The national master is inevitably too powerful, and now he is thinking about coming to be my master?" It can be said that even if I am not delirious now, even if I am really half cut into the ground, I am still up to you to decide! ”

Guozhang shouted in his heart, this is the end.

They were also secretly calculating, and even when they were discussing, they couldn't invite too many people.

It's as if someone knew what they were thinking from the beginning.

The eldest prince, although he looks like that on weekdays, is really a straw bag in political affairs, who is behind his back to give him such advice, so that he can seize the best opportunity at this time?

Guozhang's face turned blue, "Your Majesty, the old minister never meant this. ”

"And what do you mean by that? Now that I have only locked up the second prince for a few days, you will kneel down and cry this, and admonish that, if I intend to establish a prince another day, and what you do not think in your hearts, what should you do? Want to rebel? ”

Guozhang kowtowed, "The old minister definitely doesn't dare, today's thing, today's thing is indeed an accident...... It's really not as His Majesty said. The old minister has a fist in his heart, and today he knelt down to plead for intercession, and he has nothing to do with the government and the people, but the old minister remembered that His Royal Highness the Second Prince grew up under the nose of the old minister, and the old minister just couldn't bear it. ”

"Can't bear it? What have I done to him, to bother you? ”

"Your Majesty......"

The emperor couldn't see the collusion of the former dynasty and the harem, calculating his throne and calculating what position of the prince.

It's as if he's going to die tomorrow.

The emperor patted the armrest, "The second prince continued to think about it at home, it seems that even if he is trapped in this palace, he still has so much energy to hover among the important ministers, I think he hasn't thought about it enough." Then continue to stay in the house, when is it really reflective, when will you come out again. ”

This is an indefinite period to be closed.

Guozhang just felt that his legs were weak and fell to the ground.

It's really—it's making things even worse.

He was a little overwhelmed for a moment.

The emperor left angrily, Lu Cheng glanced at the kneeling person and followed, and entered the imperial study, and the emperor was angry again.

He likes this son quite a bit on weekdays, because he is more calm than the eldest prince, and even if he does things, he is more upright, so he can be said to be a good candidate for the prince.

But the emperor never thought that such a prince would be so calculating all the time.

He sneered angrily several times.

None of the little eunuchs outside dared to go inside, and only Lu Cheng went inside for a long time.

"Your Majesty, let's have a sip of tea first."

"These people just want to me off to death, what's so good to drink."

Lu Cheng laughed, "Why is Your Majesty still so childish now." "Even Lu Cheng is the only one who can say such things.

He stayed by the emperor's side when he was young, and he was much older than the emperor.

That's why it's called Otomo.

The Emperor glanced at him.

Lu Cheng said, "The slave thought to himself, these people are all tendons, where can I easily guess what His Majesty means." Whether it's hard for His Majesty to guess, or if these people are just stupid, who knows. ”

The Emperor snorted coldly, "You can say, that is, you can guess." ”

Lu Cheng sighed, "How can the old slave guess, the old slave just knows what to guess and what not to guess." I have served Your Majesty for many years, and Your Majesty's affairs are always a big thing. ”

The emperor looked at him, "Then you say, what do you think about the affairs of the two princes?" ”

Lu Cheng shook his head, "This minion doesn't dare to look at it." ”

"I tell you to say, and you say, what do you look like?"

Lu Cheng said, "Actually, the old slave thinks so." Even if you really want to intercede with the second prince, what can you do? The second prince is also the son of His Majesty, if he asks everyone to betray his relatives and leave, it is really time for life and death, and there is not even a person to intercede, and His Majesty will be sad at that time. ”

The emperor drank his tea and looked at him again.

Lu Cheng smiled, "The old slave is foolish, although he knows that His Majesty is the most taboo about such a thing, but such a bold disapproval may also be another kind of affection." ”

This can be said to be completely on the side of the second prince.

"It's just ......"

The Emperor put the teacup down, "Just? ”

"It's just that this person seems to be a little too much. The father-in-law of the country pleaded, and it was still okay, but this Wu Yang was half a room of people kneeling, not to mention Your Majesty, even the old slave was terrified when he saw it. ”

The emperor frowned, "You also think ......"

"There are too many people. But Your Majesty should not be angry with yourself, according to what the old slave thinks, Your Majesty might as well go and knock and knock. His Royal Highness the Second Prince is the most upright person, maybe His Majesty opened his mouth like this, he still doesn't understand and doesn't know, Your Majesty might as well talk to the Queen Mother? Niangniang is smart and can be understood at one point, and when the time comes, Niangniang will come forward to mediate with the abbot, and there will be less awkward conversations and situations between His Majesty and the abbot. ”

Although the emperor is said to be the emperor's father-in-law, in the final analysis, he is still the emperor's courtier.

Therefore, in the court, the emperor can be angry with him so loudly, but in private, as the emperor's father-in-law, he lost face like this.

That is, it is almost the same as the emperor himself losing face.

The emperor could not ignore the empress's face.

So now Lu Cheng's meaning is that to see the queen can be regarded as giving the queen, the queen's mother's family, and the country's uncle a step to go down.

The Emperor pondered for a moment, "It's fine. ”

He doesn't plan to really let the queen do anything now, so he must give the queen a little face.

It's better to meet the queen than to see the prince or the second prince.

-

"That'...... Does Your Highness think that the Queen Mother will come down as His Majesty thinks? ”

Chi Chi naturally guessed what the emperor would do.

In fact, it wasn't a guess, but Cao Tingyue had analyzed what kind of person Lu Cheng was for him before.

He thinks about the problem from the perspective of the emperor, and there is a problem with Lu Cheng, which is rare in this palace, and he still retains a little human touch.

So when he knew that Cao Tingyu and him were fellow countrymen, he couldn't help but take care of him.

And this matter is between the in-laws.

For Lu Cheng, he naturally hoped that the emperor would not make too much trouble with the empress's mother's family.

After all, it's just anything else, and the face still has to be maintained.

It's his human touch.

Knowing this, it is naturally easy to guess how this "big companion", who has great influence on the emperor, will make suggestions when the emperor is confused.

Chi Chi laughed, "The queen won't understand." ”

Although this is a eunuch given by the emperor, the queen cannot be said to be stupid, but can only be said to be careless.

Although it is said that parents love their children, they have far-reaching plans.

But for the queen, it seems that if the immediate difficulties cannot be solved, the far-reaching and future of the two princes seem to be gone.

Even if she wanted to admonish her, she would let it go, and she had to ask the emperor to agree to her.

And the more this is the case, the easier it is to anger the emperor, and in this way, it really backfires.
