Although the emperor is obsessed with the belly of the graceful beauty, he is still the emperor in the end, and he has not completely closed his ears and eyes. Therefore, he naturally quickly got the news from the Fourth Prince's Mansion and the Fifth Prince's Mansion.
The emperor half-leaned on the dragon pillow, half-squinted his eyes and said, "Chu Yan, it is indeed worthy of flowing half of the blood of the Nanyang Palace. ”
Father-in-law Zhang stood aside with his hands down and did not answer.
The emperor pinched a long strand of hair from his body with his fingers, stared at it for a while, and said to Gonggong Zhang, "Zhang De, is this Wanmeiren's hair?" ”
Father-in-law Zhang: "......"
He couldn't be dumb anymore, and looked up, "Back to Your Majesty, huh?" In recent days, you have flipped through the Wanmei brand. ”
The emperor stretched out his hand to the top of his head, pulled a hair down, and put it in his hand, compared with the hair, after all, he was old, the hair was a little silvery-white, and the hair, pure black, he reached out angrily and tore it off, still on the ground, "Zhang De, you go, go to the Seven Princes' Mansion, and invite the old Nanyang King to enter the palace to meet me." ”
Zhang De glanced at the sky and suggested in a low voice, "Your Majesty, look, it's dark, do you want to know the day?" ”
The Emperor shook his head, "No, I want to see him tonight." You go and ask in person. ”
Zhang De nodded, "Yes,"
Gonggong Zhang walked out of the palace and went to the Seven Princes' Mansion, and sent a message to Gu Qingyan on the way.
The four princes, the fifth prince, and King Jing conspired to kill Chu Yan, and they all broke down, although I don't know what happened to Chu Yan, but since the three of them were all broken, then Chu Yan should be fine.
Such a Chu Yan makes the emperor uneasy, right?
Gonggong Zhang has been serving by the emperor's side for half his life, and he sees it very clearly, if it is dark today, it is not a good thing for the emperor to summon the old king of Nanyang.
Gu Qingyan soon got the news, he pondered for a moment, and said to An Yining, "Read the book yourself, I'll go to grandpa's yard." ”
An Yining nodded obediently, the little aunt hadn't sent the letterhead yet, and the little aunt didn't have a smile on his face.
Gu Qingyan walked out of his yard and came to Old Man Gu's yard.
Old Man Gu had already eaten dinner and was walking in the yard to eat, when he saw Gu Qingyan coming, he asked him, "Why didn't Ning'er come with him?" ”
Old man Gu really likes An Yining very much, well-behaved and smart, among all his great-grandsons, there is no one like this, which reminds him of Gu Qingyan when he was a child, alas, I don't know when he will be able to wait for Gu Qingyan, this kid, to get married and have a child.
"He's reading, and I have something to do with my grandfather, so I came over by myself." Gu Qingyan came to Old Man Gu, lowered his voice and said, "Grandpa, Your Majesty has summoned the old prince into the palace, you should also go to the palace!" ”
Old Man Gu was stunned, "At this time? ”
The old Nanyang King has been in Beijing for a few days, Chu Yan asked for an order to greet him, but was rejected by the emperor, and ordered King Jing to meet the old Nanyang King, and gave a dismount, after that, the old Nanyang King rarely did not go out of the Seven Princes' Mansion and did not enter the palace to meet His Majesty, and His Majesty was even more tense, and sent Chu Yan to Wufeng Mountain without giving a single soldier.
Now, half a month has passed, and the sky is dark, Your Majesty wants to see the old King Nanyang?
"Why?" Old Man Gu asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Since Gu Qingyan came back, let him worry less, he simply ignored the outside affairs and handed them over to him.
"King Jing, the four princes, and the five princes teamed up to send people to Wufeng Mountain to kill the Seventh Highness, and everyone was broken." Gu Qingyan's words were brief, "Your Majesty is probably a little panicked. ”
Old Man Gu understood, he nodded, "Okay, I'll enter the palace immediately." ”
If Old Man Gu goes to the palace for a trip, if His Majesty embarrasses the old King Nanyang, even if he doesn't care about the Nanyang Army, he always has to weigh the Gu family's entrenched forces in Beijing, which also shows an attitude of the Gu family.
Old Man Gu quickly cleaned up and hurried to the palace.
At the same time, the old king of Nanyang also saw Gonggong Zhang, and when he heard that the emperor had summoned him, the old king of Nanyang glanced at the sky and stood up decisively.
He has long wanted to see His Majesty, and he has to distinguish between him and His Majesty, who is right and who is wrong.
Nanyang Wangfu has been in the palace for so many years, and he has never been sorry for Da Chu, sorry for the royal family, sorry for the monarch, he has never been disloyal, he is such a little granddaughter, his eyes are like beads, he is just a little powerful, His Majesty does not allow her so much? Do you have to be in control? If you can't control it, you're going to kill it? He is only a grandson, even if he has half of the blood of Nanyang Palace, what is the sin? At the beginning, it was His Majesty's soft and hard and dead face that begged to marry his daughter, and he agreed to it for the sake of the peace of the people of Dachu, and now he is helping another son to kill his own son? It's too much.
The old king of Nanyang held back his words, and always wanted to find the emperor's theory, if it weren't for his previous temper, he would have rushed into the palace as early as the day he entered Beijing. Because he knew that the emperor would not let him go easily when he summoned him to Beijing, he also held back his temper and slowly grinded.
Now, His Majesty suddenly summoned him to the palace, and he understood with his toes that His Majesty was afraid that it was because Chu Lan failed to send someone to kill Chu Yan, so he couldn't hold back.
The housekeeper persuaded on the side, "Old prince, it's dark this day, Your Majesty summoned you into the palace, it must be no good thing, otherwise, you pretend to be sick, right?" ”
Just like Old Man Gu, if you are sick, you don't have to enter the palace.
The old King of Nanyang waved his hand, "It's just an old life, I dare to give it, and it depends on whether Your Majesty dares to ask for it." ”
The housekeeper was really worried, "Our Highness will be back soon, if you don't want to pretend to be sick, then delay it a little, and enter the palace tomorrow, it will be daytime." ”
Old Nanyang King shook his head, "It's okay." ”
He didn't believe that His Majesty would kill him if he dared to kill him.
The housekeeper couldn't persuade him, and he was anxious, but he couldn't do anything, so he could only watch the old Nanyang King leave the Seven Princes' Mansion and go to the palace.
The old Nanyang King has not inquired about the queen since he entered Beijing, and now he has seen Zhang's father-in-law, although this is His Majesty's husband, but he is very respectful to him, the old Nanyang King does not know where this respect comes from, but there must be a reason, he chatted with him all the way, and then asked the queen, "How is the queen lately?" ”
Gonggong Zhang immediately said, "Since the palace banquet for two days, the queen has been closed in Fengqi Palace, and the old slave has not seen the queen for a long time, but it is said that it is very good." ”
The old Nanyang King nodded, it's good to be good, in his life, the most unbearable thing is his daughter, the only daughter. promised her to marry into the palace back then, which ruined her life. If she marries an ordinary family, with her intelligence, she will definitely live a very comfortable life.
"Is the third princess okay?" The old Nanyang King asked again.
Father-in-law Zhang nodded, "The third princess is also very good, she is very sensible, she has never bothered Your Majesty, she reads and paints every day." His Majesty has never forbidden the feet of the three princesses. ”
The old king of Nanyang nodded again, the third princess did not go to His Majesty to intercede because of the queen and Chu Yan, and probably obeyed the queen's instructions, quiet and well-behaved, this is the best way to avoid the trouble of her mother and brother.
The old Nanyang King's movements into the palace were not slow, but the old man Gu's movements into the palace were faster, but he entered the palace one step ahead of the old Nanyang King.
The emperor was waiting for the old Nanyang King to come, but he didn't expect to wait for the old man Gu first, and when he heard that the old man Gu asked to see him, his face was ugly, and he just sent someone to the Seven Princes' Mansion to invite the old Nanyang King, and in a blink of an eye, the old man Gu entered the palace.
How long has it been since he has seen Old Man Gu?
Since the palace banquet, the old man Gu has fallen ill, he has been ill for two months, after he is better, he is not summoned, and he has not entered the palace, and now he heard that he is the king of Nanyang, he is in a hurry to come.
The emperor's angry chest and abdomen smoked, hummed and hummed, but he could only suppress it, and spit out a word in a deep voice, "Xuan!" ”
Someone invited Old Man Gu to the south study.
Old Man Gu saluted the emperor, although the emperor was not angry in his heart, but in the face of Old Man Gu, he only stiffened his face and was not angry, but he did not show his anger on the surface, "Old Aiqing entered the palace at night to see me, but there is something urgent?" ”
Old Man Gu naturally wouldn't say that he came for the old Nanyang King, although he and the emperor were mirrors of each other in their hearts, he arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is here to respect the king." ”
"Oh? What happened to King Jing? The Emperor was surprised.
Old man Gu sighed, "Your Majesty, do you know that His Royal Highness King Jing is supervising the country these days, it is really a miasma of smoke in the court, whoever refutes King Jing's sentence, King Jing will remove whomever from his official position, and vigorously promote his cronies, now in the court, everyone has acted as a dumb person, in the past two days, King Jing has not even been on the court, but has been rummaging in and outside the capital to find Su Shizi, and also sent people to surround the old house of the Su family, this ...... It's really too unreasonable, the old minister has been in the mansion for a long time, and he has not cared about foreign affairs for a long time, but he has heard about it, and he is really troubled, so he can only enter the palace to see His Majesty to uphold this matter, and hope that His Majesty will think about the situation of the court, and don't condone King Jing so much. ”
The emperor was silent.
Old Man Gu sighed, "Your Majesty, you are still prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, why rush to establish a crown prince." ”
The emperor loved to hear this, and his face suddenly improved.
