Chapter 130: The Undercurrent in the Imperial Study
Chapter 130: The Undercurrent in the Imperial Study
And this morning, not only did the people of the Chonghuang Hall gather at the newly built address to make arrangements for the Luoyun Mountain Range, but the palace was also the same scene.
Today, after the early court, His Majesty summoned several of his princes into the imperial study, because some princes have not lived in important positions in the court, generally only the first and fifteenth days of each month will enter the palace to go to the court, and only the eldest prince Pei Rumo and the third prince Pei Wuchen will go to court on weekdays.
But today, it is obviously not the first day of the new year or the fifteenth year, and all adult princes have been summoned into the palace by His Majesty. Eighty percent is because the Phoenix King Valley is going to the Luoyun Mountain Range to catch the Blue Flame Eagle The matter has reached the ears of his father, and yesterday His Majesty also summoned the old hall master of the Phoenix King Valley, it seems that now he has received the exact news, and is ready to let his sons go to find out the truth.
It's just that the atmosphere in this imperial study is a little strange. The emperor sat on the throne, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. The ambergris was ignited, and the faint scent lingered throughout the room. The chief eunuch beside His Majesty waited there in a dignified manner, standing silently and silently. Not to mention the palace maids who played fans in the back, now they are also standing honestly, mechanically repeating the action of fanning the wind.
Under this seemingly calm atmosphere, there are undercurrents surging.
The aroma of ambergris continued to spread, until this aroma made people who were not accustomed to using incense feel a little headache, the incense had just burned out, perhaps the atmosphere in this room was too quiet, and everyone seemed to hear the sound of incense ashes falling when the incense burned out.
The old emperor didn't know whether it was because he smelled the ambergris and slowly faded, or because he heard the sound of the incense ash falling, he opened his eyes and looked at his princes fixedly.
I saw the old emperor raise his hand and wave it gently, as if he was fanning the overly strong aroma a little lighter. The chief eunuch saw it, but he understood the meaning of the person in front of him who had been in a high position for a long time, and immediately gave the two palace maids who were fanning behind His Majesty, and then retired first.
Since the two palace maids can serve by the emperor's side, they are naturally also clever, so they put the fans away and went directly out of the door of the imperial study.
Now in this hall, there are only a few most noble men left in this Yunlan country.
"Third child, what do you think of this matter in Fengwang Valley?" Jiang is still old and spicy, and this old emperor has been so sharp and ruthless since he asked questions from the beginning.
Pei Wuchen had long expected that his father would take him first, after all, there were so many princes here, only he had a close relationship with Fengwang Valley.
Fortunately, Pei Wuchen had already been prepared, and now as soon as the emperor asked, he directly said the words he had prepared earlier: "Back to my father's words, the son has just learned about this matter, and I think it should be that this Phoenix King Valley should have gotten the news from his own secret stake, and this is why the valley has the intention of captivity." When Erchen first heard the news, he was also shocked. It's because this Fengwang Valley has its own precepts and rules, and it is not allowed to drink too much, but I heard rumors in the room. However, it was said that the news that came out of the drunken gaffe after the disciples of Fengwang Valley were drunk was believed by his sons, so he never went to Fengwang Valley to seek verification, and this inaccurate news naturally could not be reported to his father. But yesterday Senior Sister Wan'er came to my house to look for me, and I only knew that the news was true, and before I had time to report it today, I was summoned by my father. ”
Pei Wuchen's words were not leaking, first showing that he had just gotten the news, and then explaining why he had not reported the news as soon as possible.
The old emperor also didn't have any unusual looks, his third son, that clever mouth is the best at talking, and asking him like this now is just taking the opportunity to beat him one or two, let him know whether his surname is Pei or Feng, and let him understand that no matter how much glory he gives him, the person in charge of this Yunlan country is always himself, let him carry it clearly.
"Then what good plan do you have?" the old emperor now sat up straight, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if waiting for his prey to jump into the trap on its own.
The cold sweat on Pei Wuchen's back is about to come down at this moment, this matter involves the interests of Fengwang Valley and the interests of Yunlan Kingdom, and his own bridge connecting the relationship between the two is really a thankless job, and he is not a person inside and out.
Pei Wuchen could only forcibly pull up a smile and answer the emperor's question: "Back to my father's words, Erchen has a foolish opinion, now this Beijing is already a mixture of fish and dragons, and it is definitely not only a force in Fengwang Valley that wants to go to the Luoyun Mountain Range, why don't you take the brothers to the Luoyun Mountain Range in the name of Erchen wanting to help Fengwang Valley, what do you think?"
When the old emperor heard this, he knew that his third son had already figured out his thoughts clearly, so he laughed heartily: "Hahaha, this is very good, sure enough, Chen'er understands my mind, since this is the case, just do what you say." ”
Pei Wuchen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, thinking that he had finally passed the old emperor's level, and then he had to coax Feng Wan'er and the old hall master.
"Father, the sons and daughters are inconvenient, but they still want to see the demeanor of the Green Flame Eagle, since this is the case, it is better for the sons to take the official road to the Luoyun Mountains in a carriage first, and the rest of the brothers will follow the Phoenix King Valley, what do you think?" It was Pei Qingfeng who spoke, and he was worried that there was no legitimate reason to follow Bai Luochu to the Luoyun Mountain Range, and as a result, his father and emperor gave him a great opportunity.
The emperor loves his son very much, if it weren't for his disability, he would never just let him be an idle prince, and he agreed to Pei Qingfeng's request at the moment.
"Son, thank you for your father's grace. ”
When the old emperor saw that everything was settled, he no longer left everyone in this imperial study to be an eyesore, so he sent everyone back to his mansion.
Seeing this, everyone hurriedly retreated, for fear that they would accidentally anger Long Wei. Pei Wuchen was the only one, and he couldn't wait to take three steps in one step, and his mind was full of thinking about how he should explain to Feng Wan'er, and he only hoped that this time would be a little slower, a little slower.
But often things in this world are unsatisfactory, no matter how much Pei Wuchen delays time, he still quickly walks to the door of the post station where the Phoenix King Valley is located.
