Chapter 589: Grievances
In the end, Chang Gonggong considered it again and again, but still gave Emperor Hui an ambiguous answer.
"Your Majesty, please forgive the slave for being stupid, the slave really doesn't know what His Royal Highness King Rui is going to do, the slave only knows, the emperor is sage, so the emperor has his own decision in this matter, and the slave does not dare to give the emperor ideas, for fear of making the emperor angry."
Chang Gonggong guessed that Emperor Hui didn't really want to get any answer from him when he asked this.
The real answer is in Huidi's own heart, maybe he just doesn't want to say it.
Facts have proved that Chang Gonggong does know Emperor Hui well enough.
When Emperor Hui heard his words, he snorted and said: "You old thing, you are still playing tricks in front of me, asking you to push back and push, looking at him left and right, you are obedient, and you refuse to say a word of bad words!" ”
This sound like a reprimand, but this slightly intimate tone, smooth and wrinkle-free eyebrows, all show that Emperor Hui is not really angry.
Indeed, no matter what Emperor Hui is, he will not really ask a minion for advice, he asks this, but because he is not so sure in his heart, he just wants to find more recognition, so that his decision is more resolute.
However, if Chang Gonggong really gave Emperor Hui a positive answer, no matter whether this answer was close to Emperor Hui's heart or not, Emperor Hui would not be happy.
If Grandpa Chang's answer fits his mind, he will feel that Grandpa Chang is very good at figuring out his state of mind, unmatched, and there will be a feeling of being watched.
Ordinary people will still be unhappy when they are spied on, let alone him, the Ninety-Five Supreme?
But if the answer given by Father-in-law Chang is contrary to his intentions, he will only be more angry, feeling that Father-in-law Chang, as his personal prisoner, does not understand himself, so how can he serve himself well?
To sum up, whether Chang Gonggong's answer is right or wrong, the result is wrong.
Father-in-law Chang probably understood this very well, so he made a clever move, not only did not answer Emperor Hui's question, but also implicitly flattered Emperor Hui, but made Emperor Hui's heart feel comfortable and very satisfied.
It is said that most of the minions in the palace are human spirits, and this sentence is really not wrong at all!
After a while, Emperor Hui instructed Chang Gonggong, "Go and call the crown prince." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." When Chang Gonggong heard this, he hurriedly bowed down and responded.
……
Soon, the crown prince arrived.
"Erchen has seen his father." The crown prince respectfully saluted Emperor Hui, with a dignified and generous expression.
As soon as Emperor Hui saw the prince's appearance and bearing, he felt that what the eldest prince told was unlikely, but he still planned to ask the prince.
"Get up, my father called you because I want to tell you something."
"The son respectfully asks his father to show it."
"Just now, the eldest prince sent someone to send an assassin, and the people in his house interrogated it, saying that this assassin was sent by you, and those rumors spread outside were also spread by you, so my father specially asked you to come and ask."
Emperor Hui said that he wanted to ask the prince, instead of saying, do you recognize this matter, how do you think about it, this has actually vaguely expressed his attitude.
To be honest, Emperor Hui himself didn't believe in this.
The prince's personality, Emperor Hui still understands.
If this matter is reversed, it is the prince who sent someone to sue the eldest prince, and Emperor Hui should believe more.
The eldest prince has a flamboyant temperament and can't afford to lose a little, so when he knows that the other party framed him, he will definitely not endure this breath.
In this way, it is reasonable to send people to spread rumors about the prince and ruin the prince's reputation.
But the prince doesn't look like that kind of person.
In Emperor Hui's impression, the crown prince has always been humble and does not fight or grab.
Even though he has always favored the eldest prince, the crown prince has never said anything, let alone shown displeasure.
Therefore, when Emperor Hui heard the people from the Great Prince's Mansion say that he had captured an assassin sent by the crown prince, his first reaction was that he felt that it was impossible.
But if you want to say that you don't believe it at all, it's not, so he still called the prince and planned to ask him personally, so that the prince would be scared.
However, to Emperor Hui's surprise, the prince was not weak or afraid, but was wronged first.
It should be a grievance, right? Hui Di thought.
"Father... Do you also believe that this was done by your sons? The prince's tone was very difficult, and he looked at Emperor Hui's eyes with a faint hint of injury and grievance.
Emperor Hui's heart couldn't help but be shocked, and he thought of the early dynasty a few days ago.
It was the first day that he resumed his early dynasty, and he thought that he could see a new image of the court, but he didn't want to, so the eldest prince gave him a big "surprise" first.
No one knows better about the Xiongnu envoys than Emperor Hui, because all the orders were given by him, and it was he who asked the prince to arrest them, and he also asked the prince to hide the people first.
He thought that he couldn't hide this matter for too long, but he didn't expect that the first person to jump out and stab this matter would be the eldest prince.
As much hope as there is, there is as much disappointment as there is.
The eldest prince grasped this matter and did not let go, the ultimate goal is still the crown prince, he understands.
That's why he's angry!
However, at the last moment, he still relented and just punished the eldest prince for grounding.
He always thought that the eldest prince could feel his good intentions, but he also ignored that the prince would feel wronged.
Yes, he was acting according to orders, but in the end, he was framed by his own brother, who was wronged by this matter, right?
"Don't ...... the prince" Emperor Hui was about to appease the prince first, but the voice of the guard suddenly sounded outside the door, saying that it was the assassin sent in by the Great Prince's Mansion and the result of the interrogation had been obtained.
Emperor Hui had no choice but to stop talking first and let Father-in-law Chang go out and call people in.
Grandpa Chang obeyed the order, and after a while, the guards followed Grandpa Chang into the imperial study.
Probably didn't expect the prince to be there, and when the guards saw the prince, they were stunned for a moment, and then quickly knelt down and saluted.
"The minister has seen the emperor and His Royal Highness the prince."
Emperor Hui called out and asked him, "Say, ask what's wrong?" ”
When the guard heard this, he subconsciously glanced at the prince, as if he had some scruples, and did not dare to reply immediately.
As soon as Emperor Hui saw him like this, he knew what he was afraid of, and he wanted to reprimand, but for some reason, he thought of the aggrieved gaze of the crown prince, so he coughed and asked Gonggong Chang to give him the testimony.
When the guard heard this, he was very relieved, and immediately handed the testimony in his hand to Chang Gonggong.
Chang Gonggong took it and carefully presented it to Emperor Hui.
Emperor Hui took the testimony and looked down.
After only a few glances, his face immediately changed, and his sharp gaze swept towards the prince.
The crown prince stood quietly with his head down, seemingly not noticing Emperor Hui's gaze.
Just when Emperor Hui wanted to ask the prince something, someone outside the door asked to see him, so Emperor Hui had to suppress his anger first and let Father-in-law Chang go out to have a look.
