Chapter 9: Complaining

The scene in the palace made Ling Jun a little unbelievable. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. [com]

Emperor Longqing is a very thrifty person, since he ascended the throne, in addition to the Empress Dowager Xiaoke to rebuild the palace and mausoleum, there has never been any other building, even the bluestone ground paved in the palace, there is because of the long time, was trampled and damaged, but also will only order people to re-make a piece up, not the whole road, the renovation of the whole courtyard, so that now, from the palace gate to the main hall of this road, the new and old bluestone are mixed together, the color is like a Taoist monk to draw a ghost talisman.

However, it is not an exaggeration to say that such an emperor is a picker, and he actually made people replace all the lanterns and flags in the palace, and even the trees on both sides of the road made people deliberately wrap a half-human-high red veil from the dirt!

When things go wrong, there must be demons.

Ling Jun hesitated slightly, turned his head, glanced at the scene again, and unconsciously slowed down.

If it was ordinary, he would be dressed like now, and he would probably be able to deal with Emperor Longqing in the past, but today...... But it made him suddenly, and he didn't know the bottom of his heart......

There is no turning back arrow when the bow is opened, it is a knife to stretch out the head, and it is also a knife to shrink the head, fight!

Thinking of this, Ling Jun lowered his head and tidied up his robe again, and touched the "baby" that was in his arms, which Liu Qingxin sent with his clothes, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and strode towards the main hall where the palace banquet was held in previous years.

In the main hall, the civil and military ministers have all been seated, and as far as the eye can see, there is only a low table close to the dragon chair of the Longqing Emperor, which is idle, and in previous years, the low table should belong to Zhu Ling.

Father's kindness and filial piety, brothers, friends and brothers, and orderliness are things that Emperor Longqing has always looked forward to......

Zhu Lingling is his second brother, Zhu Lingling was demoted, the low table near the dragon chair of Emperor Longqing should be sat by Zhu Lingling, he already knew that Zhu Lingling and Zhu Lingling were quite close, but unexpectedly, for the sake of Zhu Lingling, Zhu Lingling would not hesitate to do this! In the final analysis, it was caused by his late arrival, and he was frightened by his own chess, winning or losing, and he had to bear it himself!

The first position under the dragon chair, he couldn't sit in any case, but, next to Zhu Lingling, Zhu Linglu had already sat down, Zhu Linglu was still a child, even if he was born in the royal family, it was impossible to understand all the inner courtyard battles at such a young age, what should he do to not hurt Zhu Lingzhuan and protect himself?

"Your Majesty Arrives One by One"

Before Ling Jun could come up with a proper response, there was a chanting from the chief eunuch, and the entire hall was quiet, and Ling Jun stood at the door, sweating and wet.

He was fortunate enough to rush to the main hall before the arrival of Emperor Longqing, but unfortunately he was blocked by Zhu Lingling's cunning, and failed to enter and sit down in time...... Emperor Longqing deliberately asked him to blame, and after thinking about it, he was afraid that he would not be able to escape...... If there is Zhu Lingling by the side, then ......

Lingjun's fist tightened slightly, and the corner of his eyes that looked at Zhu Lingling was full of murderous aura, good you Zhu Lingling, I didn't treat you as Zhu Lingling's remnants and clean them up, but you ...... You're ...... This matter, as long as I Zhu Lingjun doesn't die, it won't be over!

Finding that Lingjun was looking at himself, Zhu Lingling looked back at him as if he was a little puzzled, and saw that there was murderous intent in his eyes, and his face couldn't help but be even more puzzled, he looked down, looked at his clothes, didn't see anything wrong, turned his head again, and glanced at Zhu Lingzhu who was sitting next to him, and then, suddenly his eyes widened as if he was enlightened, and he looked at him pitifully, like a child who had done something wrong, begging him for forgiveness, and that sincere look was not like a disguise at all.

Zhu Lingling's reaction made Lingjun frown, the original firm desire to take revenge on him was instantly greatly discounted, he planned to wait and see what Zhu Lingling would do next, he simply took a beating and was punished for thinking about it behind closed doors...... Except for the fact that he can't go back to the town to accompany Liu Qingxin and Xiaobao for the New Year, which is a pity, in other aspects, the impact on him is nothing bad, and Emperor Longqing punished him to think about it behind closed doors for a month or a year, but it has no impact...... And for Zhu Lingling......

Emperor Longqing, supported by the chief eunuch, entered from the back hall of the main hall, sat down on the dragon chair with a smile on his face, instinctively turned his head, glanced at his right hand, and saw that the chair closest to him was empty, and the smile on his face couldn't help but stiffen.

Zhu Lingling sat in the second seat, Zhu Lingling sat in the third, and in the middle of the two of them, there was no place for Zhu Lingjun, and the one that was vacated was originally an empty chair made by Zhu Lingjun...... Emperor Longqing knew that Zhu Lingling had always been good friends with Zhu Lingling, but he never thought that Zhu Lingling would embarrass him so much in front of all the ministers of civil and military affairs during the New Year!

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Third Prince is still standing outside the main hall."

The chief eunuch had sharp eyes, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhu Lingjun standing outside the door, at this time, seeing that Emperor Longqing's eyes were stiff, he was stunned in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and hurriedly reminded him and called him back to his senses.

Zhu Lingling would do such a thing to seize Zhu Lingjun's position, and it was also after the early morning came, seeing that he was delayed in the future, and he came up with a whim, he was not Zhu Lingjun's die-hard loyalist, he did this just to test it, he wanted to see how much weight Zhu Lingjun had in the eyes of Emperor Longqing today, and whether it was time for him to turn against Zhu Lingjun and make an alliance with Zhu Lingjun!

It's time.

Emperor Longqing's reaction made Zhu Lingling realize his situation at once, and before Emperor Longqing could speak, he hurriedly stood up from his seat, walked out quickly, fell to his knees with a "plop", and begged Emperor Longqing to confess his guilt with trembling all over his body, "Erchen was confused for a while, and he entered the table according to the old habits, and sat in the wrong position, which made his father angry, and the third brother was embarrassed, so he asked his father to surrender his guilt to make an example!" ”

During the Chinese New Year, it should have been a day of joy and harmony, although Emperor Longqing is the king of a country, above one person, under ten thousand people, in his heart, he is still an ordinary person, I hope not to have too much estrangement with his children, of course, the premise is that what he does will not let him fall infamous in the history books.

Zhu Lingling took the initiative to admit his mistakes, saying that he was willing to bear the punishment for his mistakes, so how could Emperor Longqing miss the good things that gave him a good thing under the steps?

At that moment, the haze on his face dissipated, and he smiled with satisfaction at Zhu Lingling, stretched out his hand to help him, and motioned him to get up, "People are not sages, who can do nothing, get up and sit where you should sit." ”

Originally, seeing that Emperor Longqing was angry because he didn't have a seat, Ling Jun was still a little unconsciously moved, and muttered that it was always a deep love for blood and bones, and when people are old, maybe they won't take fame and fortune so seriously, if they ...... However, before Ling Jun could think of this after that, he was stunned again by Emperor Longqing's words!

Emperor Longqing cares most about his reputation, from beginning to end, it has not changed, he would rather accept Zhu Lingling's confession against his will, than give him Zhu Lingjun a fairness, half partiality!

The heart is broken a little bit, there are more ups and downs, naturally, it won't hurt anymore, Lingjun at this time feels like this.

He will no longer have the slightest hope and half sympathy for Emperor Longqing, and from now on, he will only believe in himself and only ...... The little woman of his family!

"Jun'er? Your second brother has already given up a seat for you, why hasn't he come in? ”

Seeing that Ling Jun had to stand outside the main hall as before, without the slightest intention of entering the main hall, Emperor Longqing couldn't help but be stunned, looked at him carefully, and suddenly found that he was wearing the outfit of an ordinary young master, not wearing the clothes of the prince that matched his identity, "You, you ......"

Emperor Longqing is a person who pays great attention to rules and reputation, and he is also very strict with the princes and princesses under his knees, he has thought about many situations that may appear at the palace banquet and need him to deal with them, but he never dreamed that he has always been obedient, and his son, Zhu Lingjun, who has always made him feel at ease, will suddenly give him such a show!

"Qiqi father, the son did not enter the main hall, not because the second brother was at a loss to occupy the position of the son, but because this dress should belong to the commoners, he is not qualified to cross the threshold of this hall, so he can only wait here."

When Emperor Longqing entered the hall just now, Zhu Lingjun had already thought of the wording, so at this time, dealing with him, he would not be a little flustered and nervous, he understood Emperor Longqing's habits, and knew that Emperor Longqing would listen patiently to him even if it was for the sake of face, and as long as he was given enough time, everything that should be said would be said...... Emperor Longqing is too late to be happy, how can he blame him?

Thinking of this, Ling Jun touched the placket of his clothes again, thinking of the surprise when he opened the small burden that Liu Qingxin sent him, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised a light smile.

"Since you know that if you dress like this, you are not qualified to enter the main hall, why do you still dress like this?"

Ling Jun's reaction and attitude made it easy for Emperor Longqing to guess that he had something to say next, and what he was going to say next would not damage his face, "Today is a palace banquet, a rare holiday for civil and military officials, what is the great thing, is it worth your disregard for etiquette?" ”

"This matter is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, if Ling Jun can exchange the dignity of Ling Jun for the people of the Ming Dynasty to have no worries about food and clothing, Ling Jun thinks it is worth it!"

Ling Jun said as he knelt down on his knees at the entrance of the main hall, took out a small cloth bag from the placket of his clothes, and held it high above his head, "This thing is what Ling Jun got this morning, in order to get this thing, he delayed entering the palace, so he hurried to come before he could change his clothes, and asked his father to surrender!" ”R1152( )
