Chapter 583: Full of loopholes
Whether it was the emperor's reaction before or now, in short, all the reactions were not at all different from the three princes' conjectures, and he even wondered if he was dreaming.
This is not right at all, although he has always known that the emperor is a person with clear rewards and punishments, but it is clear that he has already named him, and the most important and prominent person to deal with the drought this time is obviously himself, so he should give another reward to himself!
After all, it was like this before, those who work more get more, this has always been a rule set by the emperor himself, how did he get here, but it has changed!
So at this time, the three princes were extremely aggrieved in their hearts, and they unconsciously pursed their lips, which was not at all different from the arrogance they were when they treated Mu Anle, and even opened their mouths to lie coquettish to the emperor.
"Father, the son-in-law has something I want to ask you, I don't know if the son-in-law can say it."
"Since you've already said that, even if I don't let you say it, you'll try your best to open your mouth, so hurry up and say it, what are you waiting for!"
"That's the case, it's not that Erchen hasn't seen your father and emperor before, and the person who has made the most merit is obviously the one who has the most merit, and you have also rewarded him the most, this time to deal with the drought, Mingerchen has worked hard and brains, and has been doing his best."
"And the sons didn't want to ask for any rewards from their fathers, after all, everything is based on simplicity, and the sons really don't need anything."
"But Erchen doesn't understand, why Father, you just don't want to praise Erchen in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, and praise Erchen for what he did, is it really so difficult for all this?"
Since the third prince is aggrieved in his heart, he is bound to vent all his grievances, so now he will open his mouth to the emperor so simply and rudely.
He expressed all the dissatisfaction in his heart, hoping that the emperor could give him justice.
But even so, the third prince still failed to get any praise from the emperor, and after listening to him say such words, the angry expression on the emperor's face was even more obvious than before!
"So...... Now you are telling me that all the credit for the drought lies with you, and that all this would not have been possible without you, so I should praise you? ”
"That's right!"
At that time, the third prince only noticed what the emperor said to him, and didn't care about what the emperor's expression was at this time, and when he heard him say this, the emperor immediately snorted coldly and threw the fold in his hand directly at him.
"It's really presumptuous, just above the main hall, I didn't open my mouth in order to save your face, but I didn't expect you to intensify it!"
"If anyone in the hall knew that you were lying to me, the consequences would be unimaginable, I don't know what you think. Even if you are good and evil, you still dare to be proud of your credit, who is it in the end
You've taught it like this! ”
The emperor really couldn't bear it, what he said now was the truth, the ministers were all in the main hall, he didn't want to think about this matter carefully, but the third prince suddenly jumped out, making it difficult for him to answer for a while.
originally planned to fool the past like this, but he opened his mouth directly, and the emperor had no choice, so he praised him twice, and the matter was finally calmed down.
originally thought that when he came to the imperial study with the third prince, he might take the initiative to admit his mistake with himself. Not only did he not admit his mistake, but he began to count his own wrongs, and of course the emperor was furious.
But at this time, the third prince standing below didn't know what was going on, he didn't understand why the emperor was suddenly angry at himself, this was not in his imagination at all, and it was not at all different from what he imagined!
"Father's ......"
The third prince looked at the emperor in confusion and helplessness, and he didn't know if he wanted to win sympathy from him, so he almost didn't shed two tears.
"Erchen no longer understands why you treat Erchen like this, what is wrong with Erchen?"
The emperor snorted coldly, looking at the eyes of the third prince full of disdain, he has always disliked his son, not because he is not good at schoolwork, but because he is too proud, and often when he accomplishes a little thing, he will be overjoyed, let alone this time......
"You don't know? Don't you really know? Well, you keep saying that whether it is the waterwheel or the diversion of the canal, it is all your own credit, so I will ask you now, when was the waterwheel built? ”
The third prince was slightly stunned, he didn't expect the emperor to say this to him, this was not within his consideration at all.
Although he was also on site on the day when the waterwheel was all built, he didn't participate in it at all, so how could he care what day it was?
So when I heard the emperor ask this question to himself, he was blindsided for a while, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
"I ......"
The three princes hesitated for a long time and failed to speak, which made the conjecture in the emperor's heart more and more obvious, but he still didn't plan to let go of the three princes easily.
Since it was the third prince who hit the muzzle of the gun himself, then don't blame him for being polite, so the emperor asked him again.
"You keep saying that you built the waterwheel, and you did it all, so why can't you remember the day when the waterwheel was finally built, which day it was?"
"Well, maybe you forgot about it, then I'm here to ask you, when the construction of the canal began, and when the canal was diverted?"
The emperor threw three questions at the three princes in a row, but unfortunately, when he was dealing with the drought, he spent most of his time fishing in troubled waters, and in the end he didn't continue to participate at all, where would he know so much
?
He only knew that there were two things, the waterwheel and the canal, and he didn't expect that the emperor would ask him such a question, at this time he couldn't answer a single question, so he could only stand in place stunned, and the emperor really didn't need his answer anymore, and immediately threw another book in his hand at him.
This time, the song folded directly into the head of the third prince, but he didn't dare to stand still.
"Bastard, you keep saying that all the credit belongs to you, and you did it all yourself, but why can't you answer such a simple question?"
