Chapter 228: Punishment

"Lord, there is a saying, the minister doesn't know whether to say it or not." In the imperial study, the old courtier, who had white hair, said.

Prince Gong wants to say that if you don't know if you should talk about it or not, then shut up! But his identity did not allow him to say such things, so he could only be silent to show his refusal.

Obviously, the old courtier didn't care whether Prince Gong, who was sitting on the throne, wanted to listen to it or not, and Gu Zi said: "Even if the minister braves the disapproval of the world, he will say this today." ”

Prince Gong couldn't help but rub his forehead, knowing that this person was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and even if he hadn't opened his mouth, he knew what he was going to say next.

He frowned, and his anger and impatience with this man rose again.

If you want to say why Prince Gong has such complicated feelings for this old courtier, it has to start with his identity.

He is the father of Prince Gong and the maternal grandfather of Yu Honghe.

He has gone through three generations of emperors of Dayu, and has always been in a high position, but he has not fallen, which shows his means.

When Prince Gong died, Prince Gong's palace and the queen kept the matter a secret, but the emperor also knew, Prince Gong didn't believe that he didn't hear a trace of the news, and he was ready to tear his face with him.

At that time, the emperor also gave their family a lot of compensation, and Yu Honghe's position as the son of the family was also asked for at that time, otherwise Prince Gong would not have tolerated Yu Honghe sitting in that position.

"Lord Wang, now is an eventful time, if the prince connived at the traitors, I am afraid that it will hurt the hearts of the old ministers, and ask the prince to deal with Yu Jinse."

Prince Gong's eyes narrowed, and his tone was not good: "Lord Zhong is afraid that he is old and confused, Yu Jinse is Wei Duyuan's wife, and she has been missing for a long time, what should this king do with her?" ”

Lord Zhong didn't care about Prince Gong's cold eyes, and followed his words directly: "It's the old minister who is confused, it should be said that it is Yu Nianxue, the fourth young lady who has been newly found in the prince's mansion." ”

Naming names and surnames is not to save any face.

However, what Lord Zhong said is really true, the concubine of the general prince will have a county lord title, and Yu Nianxue is not even a concubine, and I don't know which horn came out!

Although Prince Gong was annoyed, he couldn't help it, so he only said: "Nian Xue is young and ignorant, and she doesn't know anything about this matter at all, so I have punished her." ”

For the palace concubine, the grounding is really a big deal, this palace is changing rapidly, in case any palace concubine grabs the opportunity of you being grounded to obtain the emperor's favor, then you will regret it too late.

But for the prince and princess who are favored by the emperor, it is not, and the grounding is just a small punishment and a big commandment.

This is an innocuous punishment, and Lord Zhong will not give up.

"Lord Wang, now is a critical time, if the prince punishes the fourth lady so painlessly, I am afraid that it will be unreasonable, and it will be even more unfavorable to people's hearts. As the saying goes, the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, if the prince does not do well at this time, I am afraid that he will be put in the beak by those ministers! ”

"Very few people know about this, and if you don't say it, no one knows!"

Prince Gong was already very upset because of the events of the past few days, and when he heard Lord Zhong's words, he felt even more heartbroken, so he didn't choose to speak, and he also felt that it was inappropriate to say this.

In order to remedy, he had to make a slight sign of compromise: "So what else do you want?" ”

"Do what you have to do."

Lord Zhong has a tough attitude.

Prince Gong squinted at the several ministers standing on the side, all of them were henchmen on his side, they did not echo Lord Zhong, let alone speak for themselves, it seemed that they were planning to watch from the sidelines.

The depression in his heart was even stronger, but he couldn't blame anything, so as not to hurt the hearts of the courtiers who supported him.

"This king understands, but this matter will be postponed and discussed later, and we will wait for Nian Xue to sew the dragon robe."

Prince Gong seems to have taken a step back, but in fact, this is just his delaying tactic, and when the time comes, he will directly say, this dragon robe is well done, and there will be no reward or punishment.

The calculation he made, everyone present understood, and they also understood that he was giving himself and Lord Zhong a step down, but Lord Zhong was just carrying him on his shoulder, and he was stunned and did not take a step back.

"Even so, it's time to punish the fourth lady a little, otherwise it will be difficult to calm the anger!"

As soon as these words came out, the disguised smile on Prince Gong's face was completely unbearable.

"Do you still need to teach this king how to do it?"

Lord Zhong immediately knelt down: "The old slave doesn't dare." ”

The ministers who were watching from the side couldn't stand alone, and they all quickly knelt down to intercede for Lord Zhong: "Lord Wang, Lord Zhong is also concerned about the king, and I hope that the prince will not be angry." ”

Everyone present is a person who supports Prince Gong, if he really punishes this old man, I am afraid that they will all be upset.

Although he was indignant, he waved his hand and said: "That's it, Lord Zhong's mood is also understood by this king, but I still hope that Lord Zhong will keep his senses." ”

The rest of Prince Gong also didn't mention it anymore, as if there had been no dispute just now, this was to reveal the meaning of this matter, and everyone present could see that Lord Zhong was dizzy and wanted to open his mouth to fight for something, but he was still preempted by the ministers on the side before he said it.

Seeing that Lord Zhong didn't mention it again, Prince Gong also restrained his anger in time and told the ministers about the emperor's abduction.

It's just a clichΓ©, but Prince Gong is still finalized.

"Let's just say that my father was killed by the Assassins. Pushing everything on Wei Duyuan and Liu Yuan, the current predicament cannot be solved, at least those who are about to join their army will have a wait-and-see attitude, and they can stabilize the hearts of the ministers and the people of the DPRK and China. ”

"Although the prince's method is good, what if they come back with the emperor at that time?"

"Father's body, coupled with that toss, I'm afraid I won't live long. What if they came back with him? Let's just say that we don't know, we just think that they have killed our father, no matter what they say, we will bite to death and refuse to admit it. ”

He beat the idea of dragging the emperor to death.

Obviously, this is the best way to do it right now.

"The prince's method is good, when the time comes, the country will change hands, no matter what they say, it will be a rebellion!"

After saying that, the minister fell on his knees and shouted long live, and everyone present responded with a loud voice.

Prince Gong's face was unwavering, and he didn't say that the matter was not yet decided, but said that he himself felt that he had more than enough strength but not enough heart, and that ambition had already deteriorated.

His mother was strict with herself when she was young, and she always taught herself to fight, and she did only have the idea of winning the position of the prince.

Later, he met Xuemei, and he realized that there were still many beautiful things in this world that he had never tasted, and after tasting it, he didn't want to endure the slowly bloody and lonely days.

Just when I thought I had got everything, in an instant, I lost everything.

Her own mother ruined her happiness with her own hands, and she actually let the daughter of the Zhong family drug herself, making Xuemei misunderstand that she betrayed her.

Xuemei didn't see him, he had no choice, but at this moment, he heard his father say that he wanted to give Xuemei to the prince!

The father clearly knew that he liked Xuemei.

After he learned about this, he felt that ten thousand ants were devouring his heart, and it seemed that someone was holding a knife and poking his heart, but at that time, he saw the prince wearing the prince's robe sewn by Xuemei's own hands and standing in a high position to be worshipped, and he began to feel unwilling.

He wanted to put on the clothes that Xuemei had sewn by herself, but he wanted Xuemei to only have him in her eyes.

With such a mood, he forced Xuemei, and before he had time to make up for anything, Xuemei was forced away by his mother, and was almost forced to die.

He was remorseful, but it was too late for anything, he hated himself, his mother, his father, and many people around him.

He walked alone on this road, and when he saw the daughter born to Xuemei, he felt that he had been redeemed.

So, he wanted to protect her and give her all the best.

However, those individuals came to force him, and he also had to do something for the sake of the big picture.

He thought that he could make a show for people to see, and let people scold the snow twenty boards, but he didn't really fight, just let her cry out twice to make a fuss.

With this plan, he was going to accompany Yu Jinse to dinner at noon today, coax her, and talk to her about it.

"Hahahaha, it's better to come early than to come by chance!"

Yu Jinse was just about to sit down for dinner when she heard a thick and slightly old voice, and she knew who it was as soon as she heard it, so she hurriedly got up and saluted.

Prince Gong hurriedly helped Yu Jinse, who was halfway through the salute, to help him up: "Where are you so polite with your father?" ”

"It's different from the past, Nian Xue should pay attention to some measure."

As soon as these words came out, the room became even quieter.

Yu Jinse's words were indeed a good thing, but fortunately, she also knew how to be in a good position, and slowly added: "If Nian Xue is too aggressive, I'm afraid that it will make people suspicious, so don't embarrass the prince." ”

Prince Gong was already angry with Lord Zhong, and when he heard Yu Jinse's words, his face was not good at the moment, and now he listened to her own words, thinking that this baby was angry and unhappy, and the depression in his heart also dissipated.

"I see, you don't dare to be so naughty." As soon as the emperor waved his hand and sat down, Xiang'er cleverly put another pair of dishes and chopsticks on the table, and listened to him say again, "Sit down and eat, I have something to tell you when it's finished." ”

Yu Jinse didn't say anything more, and sat down according to his words.

She didn't have much appetite, and when Prince Gong came, she didn't have the heart to eat that Raush rice, and Prince Gong saw her like this and served vegetables for her, she looked at the greasy pork belly in the bowl, and had to stuff it into her mouth.

However, before she could stuff this meat into her mouth, just smelling the smell of the stomach swelled up with a sour feeling, she frowned, wanted to hold it hard, but she couldn't help it, and hurriedly ran out and squatted under the tree at the door and vomited.

Mingyu and Mingyue immediately went out to take care of Yu Jinse, but Xiang'er stood aside uneasily.

Prince Gong's eyes were filled with a hint of displeasure.

"What's going on?"

There are bandits who come to farm
