Chapter 7: A war of words sparked by a joke
Zuo Chen himself returned to the mansion, he doesn't remember very clearly, only remember lying down all night, he didn't seem to sleep very soundly, he was chased by an unknown figure all the time, a very dark shadow couldn't see his face anyway, but that person's figure was extremely familiar, how could he not remember who that person was?
Before dawn in the morning, he was dragged out of the quilt by his father Zuo Shangshu with an angry face, twisted his ears and threw it to his personal maids Tangerine and Indigo, changed into court clothes, and was pulled into the hall by his father all the way groggily.
really woke up from the drowsiness because of Rui Yan's sharp and cold eyes, glaring at him fiercely, making him instinctively shiver, and he heard Rui Yan say lukewarmly: "My prime minister is really one in a million virtuous ministers, working day and night on this political affairs that has been busy, and he is mentally depressed, and he can still insist on coming to the morning court with everyone on time." Yesterday, I heard that Xiao Shunzi said that Aiqing was busy with the lights last night and didn't turn off the lights until the early hours of this morning before going back to the house to rest, so now standing on the main hall has no energy and is ready to take a nap at any time, right? ”
"Wechen is frightened, please condemn the saint."
Zuo Chen was extremely depressed in his heart, but he could only kneel on the ground and ask for a confession, obviously the little emperor asked someone to dig him up in the middle of the night and go to Yilan Pavilion to toss for most of the night, and now he came to find fault and made it clear that it was not pleasing to his eyes, Zuo Chen lowered his head and thought for a long time, and he didn't understand why our little emperor didn't like him.
Obviously because of the tossing of people in the middle of the night last night, he knew that he was still bullying people.
Although he had been thinking about it in his heart, he didn't dare to really accuse the person who was playing with him, Zuo Chen reluctantly knelt on the ground and muttered in his heart with an aggrieved face, and before he could say something, he saw a trembling figure kneeling behind him.
Looking back, it was his father Zuo Shangshu, it turned out that Zuo Dad thought that the emperor was really angry, and his hair was mostly gray, and his voice trembled with a little imperceptible Cangsang and dryness, and said: "Your Majesty Shengming, the dog has always been worried about state affairs, hard work, and forgetting to sleep and eat, and last night was indeed after the time of the child, and the minister implored His Majesty to spare the dog's disrespect for the sake of the dog's dedication and unintentional offense." ”
"Zuo Shangshu was surprised by this, everyone knows that the prime minister has always been prodigal and casual, and often mingles with some drunken people in Willow Lane, who knows if he spent the night with that drama last night, but just to find an excuse."
On the right side of the main hall, one of the military attachés led by the hussar general Ling Yun stood up to refute Zuo Shangshu's words.
"General Black Tiger, as far as I know, your youngest son seems to be one of the drunken people you mentioned."
A civilian official next to Zuo Shangshu stood up angrily and retorted, although he was not very optimistic about them, Zuo Chen, who didn't know what means he used to parachute into the position of prime minister, but no matter how dissatisfied he was, it was also the head of their civil officials, how could he be allowed to chew his tongue in a martial arts!
"Obviously, I saw him at the door of Yilan Pavilion last night!" The Black Tiger General roared, blushing a little.
"Last night, why did you go to Yilan Pavilion when you weren't at home?" The officer continued, not budding.
"Don't divert the topic, now we're talking about the prime minister."
"How did you know if you didn't go to Yilan Pavilion?"
......
Zuo Chen looked at the smoke behind him a little blankly, he didn't think that just because of a malicious joke made by His Majesty and him, it would evolve into what it is now, how could he not know that his source was so good all of a sudden.
When he turned his head to the right, he inadvertently saw Ling Yun who was in the same column as him, this famous hussar general who singled out a cavalry company of the Huns at the age of fifteen and could retreat with his whole body.
If you look closely, you can find that in fact, except for Ling Yun's dark skin caused by his perennial battles, other places really can't be connected with hussars, and it is difficult to imagine that a person with such a prestige is so gentle.
Lingyun this person Zuo Chen had learned about it from the secret proverbs passed by his subordinates as early as when he was just in power, and there were many more things about him than other officials, but there were very few places to really understand this person, Zuo Chen had always thought that he should be a straight man with a straight intestine.
Now he felt that he might be too one-sided and arbitrary, this person was not only elegant in appearance, but even handsome, with a general's air in every move, and his eyes were bright and deep, and his thoughts were not allowed to be seen.
From the beginning of the quarrel between the two sides, he has never changed his expression, always with that strategic confidence, and that thick and sexy pink lips have always had a detached smile.
What does it mean that such a man who could threaten his son's throne that the old emperor dared to put him above the court without cleaning him up before his death?
Zuo Chen quietly raised his eyes to look at Rui Yan, who had been sitting on the top with an expressionless face, his black eyes kept sweeping over the noisy group of people below like an eagle, and the corners of his lips were pursed as if he was happy and angry, and he didn't want to stop it.
The coldness and ruthlessness in Qingming's eyes made Zuo Chen, who was in the lower position, shiver involuntarily, it seemed that the little emperor didn't seem to want to rectify him and make a little joke, but deliberately caused such a war of words to prove something.
And he has always been a little weaker, he has become the target of bullying, Zuo Chen sighed and hung his head again, if that's right, this time it should be mixed up by this big general and the little emperor.
It's just that I don't know why the little emperor is willing to believe so much in this powerful general, thinking about the fact that the little emperor was clearly trying to recruit him last night...... This method is really not flattering, a few slaps are giving a sweet date, if it weren't for the fact that he could complete the old emperor's decree before his death as soon as possible, and be able to get out of here as soon as possible, he really ...... I still have to do it.
Just when Zuo Chen was thinking about this, he didn't know which one of the blind ignored His Majesty and said: "You group of blind things, have you put the auspicious prince in your eyes, and the prince hasn't spoken, what kind of hype have you made of it?" ”
So all the ministers turned their eyes to the auspicious prince who was standing beside General Ling, and at this time, Rui Yan, who was sitting on the top seat, spoke, and said with a majestic voice that could not hear the joy and anger: "Zhongqing, you have been making trouble for a long time, have you made enough trouble?" A group of pillars of the country are scolding each other like shrews on the main hall, what is it like? The Great Song Dynasty's national dignity and face have been lost to you. ”
