Chapter 324: Pleading
.. , the peasant family's way to make a fortune and get rich
Xia Qing snorted coldly in his heart, didn't he just want to be promoted?
"Don't worry, as long as you do this, you will join the cabinet, and it is not impossible."
When Tong Zhouyi heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and the cabinet was a place where all the officials of Hanlin wanted to enter. Even if the promoted grade is not high, the power is not worse than the sixth.
"The lower officials will live up to the expectations of the first assistant." At this time, Tong Zhouyi had already left his previous caution behind, how could he still remember that he was still frightened about this matter before?
Tong Zhouyi got Xia Qing's promise, and then discussed with Xia Qing about the face of the saint, and left satisfied. Xia Qing looked at Tong Zhouyi's back, sneered, and wanted to enter the cabinet, then it would be up to him to see if he could do anything this time.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Doctor has instructed you not to overwork!" Seeing that the emperor was rubbing his eyebrows, De'an seemed to be very tired, so he hurriedly stepped forward and pressed his hand on the emperor's forehead and kneaded it gently.
"In the past two days, I have been unwell, and there are so many folds on the table, even if I rest, it is also difficult to sleep!"
The emperor closed his eyes, enjoying De'an's not light or heavy grip, leaned his back on the back of the chair, and relaxed a little. Yesterday, I wanted to go to the court, but when I walked halfway to the road, I couldn't bear it, so I had to go back.
De'an actually understood in his heart that the emperor was still angry with the eldest prince. In the past, the emperor often wanted to make alchemy, and sometimes he threw the folds to the cabinet, and only major events would be presented to the emperor.
Since the eldest prince participated in the imperial examination fraud case a few days ago, and the emperor fainted in anger, he has been much more concerned about the affairs of the court than before. The last time De'an was outside the imperial study, he faintly heard something about silver, and he thought of the previous fraud case, the batch of silver found in their courtyard in Wan Xue Nian, but the emperor kept silent about it.
Since the eldest prince wanted to plant the, where did the nearly 200,000 taels of silver come from? With 200,000 taels of stolen goods, it can be regarded as a big deal. Even if the emperor is not only alchemy, but also saves a lot in his daily life.
Xiao Quanzi peeked in outside the imperial study, and De'an immediately glared at him when he saw it. However, I also know that something must be going on.
Xiao Quanzi is also embarrassed, this big prince comes to serve the sick every day. But since the emperor woke up, he drove the eldest prince out, whether it was in the imperial study or in the palace of nourishing the heart, the eldest prince was not allowed to step further. Now, the eldest prince is kneeling outside the imperial study, looking a little bad, thinking that he can't hold on.
He was guarding outside the imperial study, and if the eldest prince couldn't hold on, he couldn't complain about him. But if the eldest prince faints, the emperor will inevitably be angry with him, and anyone can see the emperor's preference for the eldest prince.
Xiao Quanzi was also forced to be helpless, so he thought of informing Manager Chen. He looked at the eldest prince kneeling upright in front of him, and couldn't help but admire the determination of the eldest prince, who had been kneeling for three hours.
From that day on, the eldest prince was ordered by the emperor not to even go to the early dynasty, and the eldest prince came to kneel outside the imperial study, knowing that the palace door was going to be locked after dark, and then returned to his own mansion. The emperor didn't speak, just ignored it, and didn't listen to anyone's pleas.
The second prince entered the palace gate and went to the imperial study. Before I arrived at the door of the imperial study, I found the eldest prince kneeling there. He paused, clenched his fists, and froze for a long time before letting go of his hand and walking towards the eldest prince quickly.
"Big brother!" The second prince stood beside the eldest prince.
The eldest prince opened his mouth, and a hoarse voice came out of his throat, "Second brother is here?" ”
From the time he got up in the morning until now, he didn't get a drop of water, and his throat was very dry. But he didn't dare to leave, his father hadn't forgiven him yet, he had to let his father see his sincerity.
The eldest prince sneered in his heart, in fact, is his father's anger really for those businessmen? Doesn't my father have a little bit in his heart, what kind of business can he get so much silver?
The father and emperor both want to take advantage of the benefits, but also want not to bear the infamy, this is what the folk say, both want to be a female cousin, and want to set up a memorial arch.
showed this heart-wrenching look, and then he still had to carry the black pot himself. Fortunately, however, he kept some of the silver behind. The world said that he was favored by his father, but he was a little confused, always feeling that his father was hot and cold to him, and sometimes he felt that it was his own delusion.
"Big brother! Father's anger has not subsided? The eldest brother has been kneeling for two days, how can he not bear it? The younger brother went to plead with his father. The second prince's eyes were worried, and his face was solemn.
The eldest prince slandered in his heart, his appearance, the happiest are the second and third, the third is still in the house and can't get out, at present, only the second is worrying about his father, but I didn't expect it to be the second child who got a big bargain this time.
"Second brother don't worry, if you do something wrong for your brother, your father should punish him." Since it is something that everyone knows, there is no need for him to hide it, as long as he doesn't poke it on the surface, coupled with his father's favoritism, who can bear him?
That's right, for the sake of the silver, the father will definitely find a way to protect him, as long as he finds an excuse, he can be punished lightly. As long as the silver is still blamed on Wan Xuenian and Song Shujing, even if they did not participate in the fraud in the imperial examination, it is not clear where the silver came from.
Guo Shi didn't know much about it, he only knew the means of framing him, and the origin of the silver was not clearly explained. The staff didn't know much about the silver, and the most troublesome was Liu Dong. As long as the father doesn't want to tear off this fig leaf, he will not interrogate Liu Dong. Didn't you see that my father was angry with him for the past two days, but he didn't say a word to Liu Dong?
Therefore, the eldest prince is not worried about this matter, at most, he will be locked up in the palace for a while, and it will not be long before he can atone for his sins.
"Then the younger brother will be out of company first." The second prince's honest face was furrowed, as if he was still worried about the eldest prince, and then walked towards Xiao Quanzi.
The ministers all said that the second prince had a pure temperament, and the eldest prince did not believe it. As a prince, who is simple? Wait for him to cook for the third child, and then clean up the second child.
"Minions, see His Royal Highness the Second Prince!" Xiao Quanzi had already seen the second prince and saw him come over and salute him.
"No need to be polite, does my father have any time?" The second prince listened intently to the movement of the imperial study, but there was no sound.
"His Royal Highness Lao Er will wait a moment, and the slave will go to report to you!" Xiao Quanzi took two steps back and entered the imperial study.
"The slave sees the emperor, and His Royal Highness the second prince asks to see him!" Xiao Quanzi looked at De'an's sharp eyes, turned his heart sideways, and reported to the emperor.
He also knew that the emperor was very tired, but before that, the emperor did not say that he could not be disturbed. De'an was serving in the imperial study, and Xiao Quanzi was already guarding the door, and he was not overstepping.
Dean narrowed his eyes, and Xiao Quanzi was thinking about it.
The emperor opened his eyes and said in a cold voice: "Is the second child here?" Let him in! ”
"Yes!" Xiao Quanzi cautiously retreated, he had already received the eye knife from Manager Chen, it seems that he should be careful recently.
