Shen Huo knew what they meant in his heart, and he had recently intended to show some sharpness in the court. It was the morning of the morning again. Shen Huo came to the court early and stood upright.

He was wearing a dark shirt today, his waist was slightly tightened, and he was standing straight, and he was even more lined with Shen Huo's posture like cultivating bamboo, which looked tight.

After a while, a few more ministers came. Because the emperor did not come, the ministers also relaxed slightly and chatted with each other.

And when they saw Shen Huo, they always had to bow respectfully and say, "His Royal Highness the Prince." In the past, no one cared about it, but today it suddenly received so much attention, Shen Huo thought about it for a while, and knew that it must be Gu Zhiheng's grounding that spread.

Shen Huo sighed lightly. It is the norm for the DPRK to step on the high and the low, and there is still something big about it. He shook his head slightly, replied one by one, and stood straight again.

After about a pillar of incense, the emperor came to the court with a stuck. He sat upright, and the little eunuch on the side shouted: "The emperor has arrived-" This early dynasty can be regarded as the beginning.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." Everyone fell to the ground and bowed to the bright yellow figure in the distance.

"No courtesy." The emperor said lightly, his expression was still indifferent, "There are some things today, and they will all report them one by one." ”

When everyone got the emperor's orders, they also wrote one after another. Hubu Shangshu stood up, his face was a little worried: "Your Majesty, there is a famine in the slums south of the city, and there are many rioters, and there is a faint trend that cannot be stopped. ”

"Seongnam riots?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, and his majestic gaze swept to everyone under the court one by one: "Do you Aiqing have any good suggestions, you might as well mention them one by one." ”

The emperor said this, but everyone was silent. The mob in the south of the city did not happen overnight, and it has been around for a long time. The imperial court has repeatedly banned it, because although it is chaotic, it has never caused any big trouble, so it has been allowed to develop.

Just when everyone was silent, a clear voice sounded faintly: "Enlighten the emperor." Erchen thought that if he wanted to use violence to counter violence, it would definitely treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and it would also cause people to resist. ”

"What does the emperor think about this matter?" A glimmer of light flashed in the emperor's eyes and looked at Shen Huo. In the past, he doted on Gu Zhiheng, so that he never paid much attention to this child. Now that Shen Huo took the initiative to attend, the emperor also wanted to test Shen Huo's ability.

"Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat. There is nothing more than this. Shen Huo took a slight step forward, looked directly at the emperor and said.

"The sons thought that the mob was only caused by a famine. On the one hand, they were provided with food, and on the other hand, they were hired to build dams and other projects for the benefit of the people, and the grain was used to pay for their wages. In this way, the public will be treated as alms, and presumably those mobs will not have any complaints. ”

"Good idea." A glint of approval flashed in the emperor's eyes, "The idea that the emperor has thought about is extraordinary. In the south of the city, let's do it according to this. ”

Subsequently, Shen Huo expressed some of his own opinions more or less on these court matters. Every time he finishes speaking, he can always get a little bit of the emperor's approving gaze.

After the early dynasty went down, there was a slight smile in the emperor's majesty: "Scatter the dynasty." The emperor and I went to the imperial study. ”

After that, the emperor walked away. Shen Huo followed the steps of the emperor and walked forward without hesitation. When the two of them were gone, the court tried it, and then a small discussion broke out. "Is the emperor going to support the crown prince?" Tobe Shangshu stroked his sparse beard and said.

"Right now, that's true." Taifu echoed him and said, "I didn't notice it in the past, but today I realized that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has outstanding abilities, and he can be regarded as a talent." ”

"No, I think so. Xu was that His Royal Highness King Wu was too sharp before, which covered up the brilliance of the crown prince. Now it seems that the crown prince's ability is not inferior to that of any prince. ”

The crowd chatted and walked out. Seeing Shen Huo's outstanding performance today, everyone paid a little attention to Shen Huo in their hearts.

At the same time, Shen Huo followed the emperor to the imperial study. The emperor sat down, and Shen Huo stood respectfully not far from the emperor and waited for him to speak.

Seeing Shen Huo behaving like this, the emperor was very happy. He stroked the top of Shen Huo's hair and said, "In the past, I was negligent and failed to focus on you carefully. ”

"Father's words are serious. It is the responsibility of the sons and daughters to solve problems for their father. Shen Huo lowered his eyes slightly, and didn't look at the direction of the emperor. The emperor only thought that he was a little shy, so he didn't say any more.

Subsequently, the suggestions put forward by Shen Huo today were more or less ordered by the emperor to be implemented. When these recommendations were implemented, they were almost always 'effective'.

Among them, the most effective is the case of the mob in the south of the city. Hubu Shangshu did according to Shen Huo's suggestion, and sure enough, within a few days, the south of the city was in a thriving state.

After learning the news, the emperor was even more satisfied with Shen Huo. I can't help but praise again and again. In the subsequent court, Shen Huo's performance was also outstanding, and he faintly showed his talents.

With these performances, the more the emperor looked at Shen Huo, the more he felt appreciation. What followed was the consolidation of Shen Huo's position. No one dares to shake his status as a prince.

And contrary to Shen Huo's spring breeze, Gu Zhiheng has been a lot of people these days. As the news of his grounding spread, if it was said that there were still people in the Wu Wangfu who came to visit a few days ago. Now it's no longer cared for.

And Gu Zhiheng was thinking about Concubine Qin's injury on the one hand, and thinking about his current coldness on the other, he couldn't help but feel sad and borrowed wine to kill his sorrows.

As everyone knows, "borrowing wine to eliminate sorrow is even more sorrowful." There were several wine bottles in front of Gu Zhiheng, and they were all empty. At this time, he was still holding a bottle in his hand, obviously trying to pour it into his mouth.

"His Royal Highness King Wu, don't drink it." He Nuanliang saw such a scene as soon as he came out of the room, his heart was flustered, and he couldn't think about Gu Zhiheng's disgust with her these days, so he hurriedly ran over.

As if she didn't see Gu Zhiheng's cold eyes like substance, she held the wine jug with a pair of plain white hands to restrain Gu Zhiheng from drinking: "You drank so much wine today, it's really inappropriate." It's better for the concubine to help you go back to rest, and then call the kitchen to prepare some decanting soup. ”

"Do you really care about this king? It's just coveting the status of this king. Now that this king has nothing left, and his reputation has long been ruined by you, are you satisfied? Listening to someone talking, Gu Zhiheng looked at it from afar.

He was drunk and hazy, and it took a long time to find He Nuanliang's true body from the overlapping ghosts. After seeing who it was, Gu Zhiheng's face couldn't help but show a little impatience, and his speech was extremely sharp.

"Your Royal Highness King Wu, you are drunk. The concubine will help you go back to rest. He Nuanliang listened to Gu Zhiheng's words, and his face was a little reluctant, but he still said with a forced smile.

"Who is it for? This king does not need anyone's mercy. Looking at He Nuanliang's smiling expression, Gu Zhiheng was even more angry, and pushed all the wine bottles on the table to the ground. The white porcelain bottles made a tinkling sound and immediately shattered.

He still didn't think it was enough, so he pushed He Nuanliang hard. He Nuanliang didn't notice it, his center of gravity was unstable, and he was pushed to the ground by Gu Zhiheng. Her hand happened to land on a piece of broken porcelain, and she immediately bleed.

Even so, Gu Zhiheng didn't look at He Nuanliang again. He only snorted coldly, took the wine bottle in one hand and poured it into his mouth, and left He Nuanliang without looking back.

He Nuanliang was left alone to sit in place, blood seeping into the soil little by little, and she didn't care. I don't know how long it took, but drops of crystal clear water fell, and disappeared into the dirt, without a trace.

Time passed in a flash, and it had been a few days since the emperor issued an angry decree that Gu Zhiheng was grounded in King Wu's mansion. These days, Gu Zhiheng has been thinking a lot in King Wu's mansion. It's just that these thoughts haven't taken shape yet, so he has to secretly suppress them in his heart.

At that moment, there was a sound of someone coming outside. Gu Zhiheng raised his head drunken and hazy, and after seeing the person clearly, he couldn't help frowning: "Why are you here again." ”

"Concubine...... Come and see you. He Nuanliang said in a low voice. She really loves him so much, no matter how reluctant Gu Zhiheng is every day, He Nuanliang still comes to visit Gu Zhiheng every day and accompanies him to say a few words.

The same is true today. After He Nuanliang washed up in the morning, he didn't use much for breakfast, so he came to Gu Zhiheng's courtyard. As soon as she stepped through the door, her eyes reddened slightly as she looked at him.

"Your Royal Highness King Wu, don't drink any more. Your body can't stand it like this. He Nuanliang couldn't care about anything else, hurriedly ran to Gu Zhiheng's side, stopped Gu Zhiheng's hand that wanted to raise the wine glass, and said, "Borrow wine to eliminate sorrow and sorrow, don't drink it anymore." ”

"What does this king do, it's not your turn to put the beak." Gu Zhiheng waved away He Nuanliang's hand, his face was quite impatient, "Whether this king drinks or not, how much he drinks, how much you do, is it up to you." ”

He Nuanliang was waved by him, his center of gravity was unstable, and he immediately fell to the ground. She collapsed to the ground, unable to hold back the sadness in her heart, and tears fell to the ground one by one.

She looked up at Gu Zhiheng. I saw a few wine bottles sprinkled on Gu Zhiheng's face, a few of them were still full, and most of the rest were opened, and they drank empty. Gu Zhiheng was still holding the half-empty wine bottle in one hand, intending to pour it into his mouth.

At this time, his face was flushed and full of alcohol, how could he still have the appearance of His Royal Highness King Wu, who was famous in the capital at the beginning? Decadent and haggard, He Nuanliang felt distressed.

"Your Highness, you may damage your body and bones like this, if there is something sad, just talk to your concubine, you don't have to hurt yourself like this." He Nuanliang lowered his head and said to Gu Zhiheng quite bitterly.
