Chapter 103: Yuchen Runs Away, Yunju Controls the Water (6)
Before Shangguan Qihua fell asleep, his mind still flashed whether he could beg his father again tomorrow, go to his uncle Dingguo Gong Shangguan Ao, and help him go to the prince's mansion to find Xuanyuan Yuling to intercede. Even if you can't become the crown princess of Xuanyuan Yuling, you can at least ask for the identity of a concubine and become the side concubine of Xuanyuan Yuling, right? At this time, Shangguan Qihua didn't know that her thoughts at this time were really just her own dreams.
Since Shangguan Lihua was called into the study by Shangguan Ao after returning to the house, she had already told the Duke of Guo what happened in King An's Mansion today. According to Shangguan Ao's immersion in officialdom for so many years, where could he not understand the joints, it was after Shangguan Ao quickly figured out the joints, Shangguan Ao immediately retracted the little bit of thought in his heart that Shangguan Qihua was about to become the prince's concubine and wanted to come to the door to intercede.
Dingguo Gong said that he only had to think that if Shangguan Lihua had the help of nobles today and escaped the catastrophe, maybe the person who was discredited at this moment and became the prince's concubine would be Shangguan Lihua. Shangguan Ao only hated that he was not present at the time, otherwise he would definitely go up and strangle Shangguan Qihua to death. How could he help her to intercede with the prince and lower her posture now?
The study of the Shangguan Mansion
In the study, after Shangguan Huai came back from the Dingguo Mansion, he locked himself in the study, the scene was similar to the situation of Shangguan Ao's study in the Dingguo Mansion, and the candle tears never stopped all night, which shows that the master's family is also sleepless all night, as if he is preparing for something about to face the storm.
These are just what happened in King An's Mansion, which became the fuse and caused people in all provinces to follow suit. Therefore, compared to the distance and tranquility of the Second Prince's Mansion at this time, for many people, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, and at least those who can imagine a little bit to do with this matter will not be able to sleep peacefully at this time.
At this time, the third prince Xuanyuan Yuchen did not pay any attention to the eyes of the officials of the court and the central government who looked at him or appreciated. He just stood there alone and waited for Emperor Xuanyuan Lingfeng to go to court.
After a while, Emperor Xuanyuan Lingfeng looked refreshed and old, and he climbed the famous rank step by step and sat firmly on the throne.
After the emperor sat down, he heard the eunuch on the side shouting: "There is a book to start playing, but there is no book to retreat!" ”
In fact, from the moment Emperor Xuanyuan Lingfeng stepped into the court, the corner of his eye was scanning and looking for the figure of the third prince Xuanyuan Yuchen, and when Xuanyuan Lingfeng was sure that Xuanyuan Yuchen was really there, and it was definitely not a whim, when he changed his hexagram afterwards, he was still a little excited in his heart, but he was forced to be pressed down by his good self-sustaining power, so that it would not be obvious, and his face was still a serious expression, very majestic. The power of the Son of Heaven is probably what it says.
The third prince, Xuanyuan Yuchen, raised his eyes and glanced at Xuanyuan Lingfeng, although he saw that the latter was expressionless, but the third prince, who knew what kind of virtue his father was in private, said that even if he didn't look at it, he could guess what the emperor was thinking. Therefore, the third prince Xuanyuan Yuchen did not plan to speak first. He was waiting, waiting for his father to speak first when he couldn't hold his breath, but he was asked by Lan Jinzhi, the prime minister of the prince's party.
"The old minister dares to ask, the three princes who have never been regent of the court today, it is rare for them to appear in this court today, I don't know what the so-called thing is?" Prime Minister Lan Jinzhi asked a reasonable question, and before Xuanyuan Yuchen was displeased, Xuanyuan Lingfeng, who was sitting on the throne, squinted his eyes unhappily.
Subsequently, Xuanyuan Lingfeng seemed to agree with Prime Minister Lan's statement, and asked Xuanyuan Yuchen: "The appearance of the third prince in the early dynasty today is also unexpected. I don't know Chen'er, why did you suddenly participate in the early dynasty again today? The emperor said this a little shamelessly, as if he really didn't know why Xuanyuan Yuchen was here today, and that pretentious expression made Xuanyuan Yuchen frown slightly.
But then, Xuanyuan Yuchen put away his displeasure, stretched his brows, and said: "Although this prince has not been to the early dynasty for a long time, he has not been stripped of his title by his father or ordered by his father not to discuss politics in the future. In that case, why can't this prince appear here? Besides, the prince of the pump didn't know when Prime Minister Lan was so powerful that he could directly question the prince? ”
Xuanyuan Yuchen in Su Ri is either warm or indifferent, when has he said such a big thing to anyone, today's words were said by Xuanyuan Yuchen lightly, as if he spoke warmly as usual, but Prime Minister Lan Cheng's face turned pale in an instant, and cold sweat flowed. Even if he Lan Jinzhi is the queen's father and the prime minister of the dynasty, no matter how powerful he is, he is not qualified to question the prince. If he really did this, wouldn't he tell others clearly that he Lan Jinzhi didn't take imperial power in his eyes at all?
As a result, Prime Minister Lan Jinzhi was so frightened by what the third prince Xuanyuan Yuchen said that he immediately knelt on the ground, and hurriedly kowtowed to Emperor Xuanyuan Lingfeng to admit his mistake. "The old minister was in a hurry, and he didn't have any intention of questioning the three princes, please ask the emperor to be clear! Lao Chen just saw that the three princes who did not appear on weekdays suddenly appeared in this court today, thinking that something important had happened, so he lost his temper for a while and robbed the emperor first. The old minister admits his mistake! Please punish the emperor! ”
Prime Minister Lan is now confessing his guilt while constantly wiping cold sweat with the sleeve of his official uniform, and continued: "The old minister did not eat the courage of the ambitious leopard, and dared to question the matter of His Royal Highness the Third Prince!" After saying that, after Prime Minister Lan Cheng kowtowed heavily to Emperor Xuanyuan Lingfeng, he almost raised his hand and swore to show that he had no such intention.
Emperor Xuanyuan Lingfeng was obviously in a good mood today because of the appearance of the third prince Xuanyuan Yuchen in the court, so he did not punish Lan Jinzhi. Although he did feel a little unhappy in his heart, he didn't have a seizure after all, so he immediately waved his hand and said, "I don't mean to punish, Prime Minister Lan doesn't need to panic!" It's no wonder that Prime Minister Lan has doubts about the appearance of the three princes today, and all the Aiqing who are present have this doubt in their hearts. Even Lian Zhen is also quite curious about why Chen'er entered the court again today.
The emperor's preference for Xuanyuan Yuchen can be seen from the title. Generally speaking, in such an official and serious occasion as the early dynasty, it should be called an official title, but the emperor obviously treated Xuanyuan Yuchen as a special one.
After speaking, Emperor Xuanyuan Lingfeng motioned for Lan Jinzhi to get up.
