Chapter 275: Let the princess go with you
"Okay, let's get up first!" Chu Zhuangyan motioned for him to sit back on the chair, "You don't need to come tomorrow morning, just go directly to Dali Temple when the time comes, if you have this official seal." ”
"Thank you, father." After listening to Chu Zhuangyan's words, Chu Ruoyan stood up and put the official seal back in the box.
"When you arrive, go to Dali Temple with Princess Yan, Dali Temple has a lot of affairs, but there are also a few mansions, enough for you to live."
Chu Ruoyan was a little surprised when he heard Chu Zhuangyan's words, he thought he was letting himself go alone, but he didn't expect Chu Zhuangyan to let Li Luobing go with him.
"Father, why did you let your son's princess go with you?"
"I don't think you, Princess Yan, look simple, and if you two go to Dali Temple together, it will definitely help." Chu Zhuangyan hadn't met Li Luobing a few times, but he guessed her thoroughly, even Chu Ruoyan had to admire Chu Zhuangyan's insight, maybe he was not a good father, but at least he was a good emperor.
"The retainers obey."
"Take your things and go!" Chu Zhuangyan opened his mouth to Chu Ruoyao, and motioned to his father-in-law on the side to send Chu Ruoyan out of the palace.
When they went to court the next day, the ministers didn't find Chu Ruoyi's figure, and they were all puzzled.
Recently, this Yan Wang can be described as a big celebrity around the emperor, not only often in and out of the imperial study with the emperor, but also to help the emperor to review the folds, sometimes the emperor does not even look at the review of the folds, such things come out of the mouths of some ministers who often go to the study to walk, and everyone feels that this King Yan has become a popular candidate for succession in the future.
It is precisely because of this that Chu Ruoyao's absence today has caused a lot of movement.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yan doesn't seem to have gone to court today." A minister from the prince's party stepped forward and said. Chu Zhuangyan's eyes looked over, and his face became a little gloomy after seeing that it was the prince's party.
"What is Lord Li's opinion?" His tone was full of questioning, and it was obvious that he was angry when he heard it.
The minister was terrified. The minister is worried that His Royal Highness King Yan will be sick again, and he will not be able to share his worries for the emperor. This Master Li is also smart, and he sensed that Chu Zhuangyan's tone was not good, and immediately rounded back what he had just said.
"There are too many things that Lord Li is afraid of, it seems that he is old......" Chu Zhuangyan frowned and deliberately pulled the tail note very long, which frightened Lord Li, who had just spoken, tremble. What's the deal with saying you're old?
Before this Lord Li could figure it out, Chu Zhuangyan's next words made him kneel directly on top of the court.
"Since you are old, then Master Li might as well go home to retire. I will not treat you badly. ”
After Chu Zhuangyan finished speaking, that Master Li sat down in the main hall tremblingly.
"Your Majesty, the old minister......" He couldn't figure it out, he just said one more sentence, and he was dismissed, and the prince asked him to say this. He looked at the prince tremblingly, but found that the prince had been looking away, and he didn't pay attention to him at all.
"What else does Master Li want to say?" Chu Zhuangyan pressed on this Master Li step by step.
"No, thank you for the emperor's reward." Master Li knew that his fate was thus decided, and after kowtowing a few times on the ground, he prepared to leave.
"Your Majesty, the retainers think there is something strange about this matter." Chu Ruoyang, the king of Qin, immediately stepped forward and said to Emperor Chu Zhuangyan, and signaled the palace people next to him not to take this trembling Lord Li down first.
"What did King Qin say?" Chu Zhuangyan didn't care at all that Chu Ruoyang questioned his behavior, but asked with interest.
"Erchen thinks that Lord Li alone will never say such a thing, either someone is agitating behind his back, or someone is supporting him behind his back, Lord Li, what this king said is the truth?" After Chu Ruoyang finished speaking, he glanced at Lord Li on the ground, and then put his eyes on the crown prince Chu Ruoyang.
"Why is King Qin looking at Prince Ben like this?" Chu Ruoyan was uncomfortable by King Qin's eyes, and couldn't help but open his mouth to fight back.
"This is for the prince, everyone is interested in the whereabouts of Lord Li, and Lord Li is a protégé of His Royal Highness the Prince, why does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ignore this?" King Qin smiled openly, and the eyes of the other ministers looked back and forth between the two of them.
Before, the king of Qin and the crown prince were only in private discord, and basically did not show it in the court, but since the king of Yan came, the disgust of the king of Qin for the prince was directly moved to the table.
And such an obvious struggle, Chu Zhuangyan, as the emperor, turned a blind eye, and even had a tendency to add fuel to the fire, did he really want King Yan to inherit the unification in the future?
"All the decisions made by my father, this prince will naturally support it, unlike King Qin, who rashly interrupted his father's words, you obviously don't take your father in your eyes." The crown prince Chu Ruoyan said with a little anger.
Chu Zhuangyan, who was in a high position, saw that this rhetoric had a tendency to develop, so he opened his mouth to stop.
"King Qin and the crown prince don't need to be like this, I just let Master Li go back to retire, what you think is too complicated."
Although King Qin and Chu Ruoyan stopped hearing the emperor's words, they didn't believe the emperor's words at all, if he didn't have any purpose, he would have stopped it when the two had a dispute, and it seems that they are now using King Yan as an excuse to eradicate dissidents.
"It's been so long, and I haven't said anything serious. I have sent King Yan to Dali Temple, what King Yan has done in recent times is obvious to all, he is the most suitable person to go to Dali Temple, of course, if you have any other opinions, you can put forward. Chu Zhuangyan leaned on the dragon chair and said slowly.
Comments? Who would dare to have an opinion? If you have an opinion at this time, I'm afraid that you will end up like Master Li of Fang Cai, and be driven home by the emperor to retire!
Chu Zhuangyan glanced at the people below: "Since all Aiqing has no opinions, let's retreat!"
After seeing Chu Zhuangyan leave, the ministers also came out of the hall, before the king of Yan came to the court they had discussed how long he would stay in the court, but within a few days, the king of Yan became the secretary of Dali Temple, which made those ministers who were related to Dali Temple feel a headache.
In the past, if something happened, you can go to Dali Temple to dredge the joints, and now that position is the king of Yan personally assigned by the emperor, in case he reports the dredging matter to the emperor, it is not just as simple as dismissal?
"Alas, in my opinion, this prince is probably ......" One of the ministers shook his head, not daring to say the second half of the sentence.
"Looking at the way it looks today, it is only a matter of time before the prince steps down." A minister next to him didn't seem to care about this, and even said it so arrogantly.
"You don't want to die, let's go! The prince is here. The ministers who were traveling with him kept urging, and a group of people saw that the crown prince Chu Ruoyan was walking towards this side, and hurriedly left.
"A bunch of waste eating inside and out." Although Chu Ruoyan was far away, he could guess what they were just discussing through their expressions and the act of leaving immediately when they saw him.
"Prince, what do you think should be done with these people?" He Yuanzhong, the personal father-in-law next to him, asked. He is considered the prince's henchman, and there are many unsavory things that Chu Ruoyan handles through his hands.
"Disposition? These wall grasses, the top priority is how to drag King Qin into the water, and he has provoked the palace many times in just a few days. Let them keep a good watch on King Qin, bring up his latest handle, and when the time comes, the palace will take a good look at him. The prince didn't believe that he didn't have a handle. ”
"Yes." Gonggong He said with a look on his face.
When a group of people were fighting openly and secretly in the court, Li Luobing had already come to Dali Temple with Chu Ruoyao.
Li Luobing looked up at the plaque at the entrance of Dali Temple, it seemed that it had been a long time, very majestic and solemn
"Your Highness, let's go in!" Guard Guo Dong said beside him. The three of them have been standing at the door of this Dali Temple for a while, it stands to reason that Dali Temple should come out to receive Chu Ruoyao, I don't know if the people are not there or deliberately, there is no one at the door, and it doesn't look like a new official taking office at all.
"It seems that the people here have a lot of opinions about you." Li Luobing looked at the empty door and said to Chu Ruoyao.
"What if you have an opinion? Even if they have an opinion about me, they won't have an opinion about this official seal! Chu Ruoyao flipped the box in her hand, and saw that no one was coming at the door, and her face gradually began to be unhappy.
It's okay to have opinions about him, but if he keeps ignoring it like this, he Chu Ruoyan won't agree, and if he despises himself like this at the beginning, he doesn't know how much resistance he will encounter in handling cases in Dali Temple in the future.
"Guo Dong." Chu Ruoyan thought about it and then opened her mouth.
"The subordinates are here, what does the prince command?"
"See that drum?" Chu Ruoyan gestured with her chin. Guo Dong followed Chu Ruoyao's gaze and looked over, and sure enough, he saw a drum set up in front of the door of Dali Temple. This drum is usually used to let the people beat the drum and voice their grievances, what is the purpose of King Yan letting him see the drum at this time?
"My subordinates saw it, I don't know what His Highness means?" Not only was Guo Dong puzzled, but even Li Luobing next to him didn't guess what Chu Ruoyan wanted to do.
"Go to the drums, isn't this Dali Temple? I don't believe that no one has come out. Chu Ruoqi sneered.
Guo Dong nodded and came to the front of this drum, and began to beat the drum non-stop, as the drum spread one after another, there were more and more people around to see the excitement, and some people had already recognized Chu Ruoyao, and they were very surprised to see him standing in front of the Dali Temple.
"I heard that this Yan Wang is the new Dali Temple, why is he still beating the drum in front of the door? As a prince, what grievances can you redress? One of the civilians muttered quietly.
