Chapter Two Hundred and Four: The Emperor's Wrath
Zhu Di is a man, not a god. He had one big problem that almost all emperors had: paranoia.
"I've only been gone for less than half a year, half a year! The prince actually bought a hundred officials! Wait for me to die early and give way, so that they can get a dragon merit? β
The emperor scolded in the study!
Mr. Wang was resigned, and did not dare to say much. He knew his master too well. Where does the emperor's family come from, what kind of father and son filial piety? It's just that His Majesty feels that his majesty and power are threatened by the crown prince. In addition, although this expedition was a great victory, the emperor clearly realized the power of time - he was old. What's more, there is also the Han King's overt and covert fueling the troubles!
The crown prince's family finally suffered an unprecedented blow. For a while, the prison was filled with ministers and scholars in the court, and all the officials trembled, for fear that the emperor's wrath would fall on their heads.
Under such circumstances, the Cheng family, who intended to ask for a decree to cancel the marriage, had to delay the plan. The emperor is not happy, and his own family can't add fuel to the fire. Even the British duke did not dare to present the letter to the emperor according to the plea.
The East Palace has fallen silent like a backwater. No one expected that such a trivial matter would provoke the emperor's crazy blow.
Since ancient times, the crown prince has not been an easy errand to do. That is, the emperor must not be suspected of being disobedient, and he must also think of a good relationship with hundreds of officials. Bitterness is just one word.
No one knows that Taisun's heart has been magnificent recently.
The words that Lian Baitang said when he left that night have repeatedly echoed in his ears in the past few days: "Your Majesty is on an expedition to Mongolia and is about to return to the DPRK." Please ask the prince and the Ministry of Rites to prepare well to welcome His Majesty back to the palace. Don't miss anything. β
How he replied at the time - "As it should be." β
In his opinion, this is really not a trivial matter. How could there be such an omission on the part of the Ministry of Rites? But unfortunately, there was an accident!
At the cusp of the storm, the East Palace was as quiet as a quail, and it was inconvenient for him to look for Bai Tang to ask questions, but he inevitably increased his vigilance against Bai Tang.
After a few days, the remaining anger did not subside, and the emperor angrily denounced the prince for his incompetence in the early court! The prince was sweating profusely and wanted to cry.
Yang Qianjun really couldn't listen to it, and strode out. Kowtowed: "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with the prince." It was an oversight on my part of the Ministry of Rites. Your Majesty, please condemn you! β
Under the emperor's anger, when he saw someone come out to speak for the prince, how could he bear it?
"Since Yang Shilang admits his guilt, he will be put in the prison and wait for his fate!"
The crown prince exclaimed: "Father-"
"Your Majesty is wise!" Yang Qianjun snorted heavily, "The minister has failed the expectations of His Majesty and the prince, and he will reflect on his mistakes in prison in the future." Please also ask Your Majesty to calm your anger, the prince's pure filial piety can be learned from heaven and earth! β
The prince hung his head, his fat body trembled visibly, and suddenly he fell to the ground with a pop, and even Zhu Di couldn't help but change his face, how could he forget that the prince was not in good health!
King Han stomped his feet: The prince is too cunning! Pretending to be dizzy!
Zhu Di's stormy blow to the princelings finally came to an end temporarily after the prince fainted.
Just when the prince was in danger, Xu San came out.
It is strange to say that the emperor knew that Xu San and Taisun were friendly, but he never doubted him. King Han whispered in his ear that Xu San was on the line, and Lian Baitang secretly interacted with the grandson and had a close relationship. The emperor only frowned and didn't take it seriously.
Lian Baitang, a literati among craftsmen, keeps to himself and never interferes in court politics, and from time to time he can give the Ministry of Rites an idea to educate the people, what bad things can be tossed? However, King Han took advantage of his absence to deceive Bai Tang with bad intentions, and he hadn't settled accounts with him yet-Lian Bai Tang was the person he specially reserved for Xu San! Thinking of Xu San's stupid expression when he learned Bai Tang's true gender in the future, the emperor's bad mood improved a lot. The corners of his mouth also cracked, he hid it so hard, didn't he just wait for the day when he saw Xu San's jokes?
Hahahaha.
Listening to the emperor's sullen laughter, the chief manager Wang was so impressed with admiration for Xu San: The king of Han has done this black, and His Majesty is still biased towards you!
So when Xu San asked to see the emperor, Chief Manager Wang didn't think about it, and invited him into the study: "Why did you come?" Your Majesty has been talking about you for a long time. β
Xu San said bluntly: "Stormy, do I dare to come?" β
When the emperor heard this, he pretended to be angry and scolded: "Don't you dare to come, don't you come?" He looked Xu San up and down, who was refreshed, and asked with bad intentions: "When I was away, you and Lian Baitang were very busy." I heard that in the Han Palace, there were a lot of troubles? β
Xu San's face sank, His Majesty's brocade guards were pervasive! Immediately called aggrievedly: "Your Majesty Mingjian." Is that Qiu An and Bai Tang making trouble? It's clearly their business to look for us. Qiu An is here to ask the emperor to be the master of Bai Tang and me this time! β
As long as he didn't come to intercede for the prince and Yang Qianjun, it would be fine. The emperor waved his hand: "Okay." "King Han is his son, and he always has to help. What's more, Bai Tang is not fine. As for Zhang Bozhong, the prince of the British, he frowned, he was really uninteresting and unfamiliar.
"I know it. You won't be wronged in vain. β
Xu Sanfang smiled, with a reluctant expression on his face.
When the emperor saw this, he asked curiously, "What are you holding?" β
Xu San sighed, spread out his palm, and put a small oval object on the imperial case.
"This is my birthday gift from Bai Tang and you, don't dislike it."
Yo. My nephew and daughter-in-law haven't drunk the tea yet, and I already remember to give myself a gift!
The emperor took it happily and suspiciously, and his eyes lit up: "This isβgloomy wood!" β
Xu San muttered, "Not really. What about the golden silk nanmu! β
He originally wanted to curry favor with Bai Tang, but he asked Bai Tang to say that he had sent the emperor. The wood is carved into a round chubby-bellied dragon. A trace of gold thread is coiled on the dragon's belly, and there are two small rubies inlaid with the eyes, supporting two small horns that are forked, no matter how you look at it, you feel cute. The emperor couldn't help laughing, shook his hand and grinded it twice, well, quite a hand.
"Bai Tang said, gloomy wood is rare, try to keep its prototype, so I carved a small dragon by homeopathy, if you don't like it, Your Majesty, give it back to me."
The emperor hurriedly stuffed his sleeve and said, "It's not sincere to give gifts!" I hurt you. β
Xu San lowered his mouth, grinned, and said mysteriously: "You treasure it now, it won't be uncommon after a while." β
The emperor sighed, "What do you mean by that?" β
Xu San shook his hand: "The secret of heaven must not be leaked." He staggered to leave, but the Emperor stopped him.
"Joanβ"
Xu San turned around and asked, "Your Majesty still has something to order?" β
The emperor sharpened the gloomy wooden handle and asked, "Do you think the prince has two hearts?" β
Xu Sanleng froze: "You, ask me?" β
The Emperor hummed, "You are not like them. β
Xu San himself felt inexplicable, what was the difference? He's a princeling! His eyes rolled, and when he remembered Bai Tang's advice, he said with a straight face: "Master Yang has admitted that it is the fault of the Ministry of Rites that he is late in taking over this time. Even if the prince is wrong, he is also ineffective in discipline. I insist on saying that the prince has two hearts. Xu San sneered, "Anyway, Qiu An doesn't believe it." β
The emperor's face was much soothed, and he stroked his beard and asked, "What do you think?" β
Xu San nodded, glanced at the emperor's beard, took out something from his arms, closed his eyes, and asked, "Your Majesty has been gone for nearly half a year, do you feel that the adults in the court look better than in the past?" β
The Emperor was stunned: What?
Xu San touched his chin that hadn't grown a beard yet: "You use it." Keeping satisfied! β
On this night, His Majesty fell asleep wearing Lanting's beard balm, which made Concubine Jin Xian smile for a long time.
