Chapter 54: I couldn't sit still at all
I have to say that Ji Dou's behavior is really strange......
Although she was a little curious, she also knew that she would not really come forward to see what he was doing.
But right now, his hurried appearance has a bit of a sense of déjà vu that there is no silver three hundred taels here, could it be that what he just did has something to do with her?
For a while, Cheng Yuanyuan's deep curiosity was completely aroused, and her eyes frequently lingered on the pen and ink covered by him.
Tsk, what the hell is it?
Cheng Jiyuan twisted her eyebrows, hesitating to ask.
Who would have thought that before she could think about it, she heard Ji Dou's hoarse voice sound: "Ahem, Ah Yuan is here, sit down." ”
Cheng Yuan glanced at him suspiciously, and suddenly smiled: "His Royal Highness the Prince is painting?" ”
I didn't ask if it was written in big characters, because she had just seen a colored jade plate on his desk, and there were not many colors on it, but there were rare malachite and cinnabar colors, which showed that he was indeed painting.
Ji Dou naturally knew that she saw the jade plate on the side, so she smiled and nodded admittedly: "It's true that I'm painting, but my painting skills are not good, so I won't take it out to make Ah Yuan smile." ”
Cheng Jiyuan was choked by him, and he didn't open his mouth to look at the painting, but he was still a little curious in his heart.
Ji Dou saw that her eyes were still on her desk, coughed lightly, and spread a large layer of paper on it again without a trace, and pressed it with an inkstone by the way, confirming that there would be no possibility of being blown up and seen, and then his eyes fell on Cheng Xiyuan again.
"When His Majesty summoned me to the palace today, I happened to see the prince coming out of the imperial study."
The topic shifted in a timely manner, and as soon as Cheng Jiyuan heard this, he really didn't put his mind on the desk, and looked at him in a daze with a pair of eyes like water, and motioned for him to continue.
Ji Dou didn't have the bad taste to arouse people's appetites, so he sat down directly and played with a round piece of jade next to him and continued softly: "The prince was very embarrassed when he came out, and the imperial study was even more in a mess, so it can be seen that the matter of making weapons and selling them has really provoked His Majesty's anger. ”
"What punishment did Tang Wenqi receive?" Cheng Jiyuan asked eagerly.
She didn't care at all about whether Emperor Xiaowen was angry or not, not to mention that it was impossible not to be angry about a big event like this, so it didn't matter.
The only thing she cares about is Tang Wenqi......
If he can be deprived of the crown prince like this, then she will wake up laughing when she sleeps at night.
However, when she thought of what Ji Dou said before, she knew that this matter was impossible at all, so she was now looking forward to hearing that Tang Wenqi was punished for beating the board or losing the power in her hands, etc.
However, sometimes it backfires.
She clearly heard Ji Dou sigh heavily, looking at her with a little guilt.
"Your Majesty didn't punish the crown prince in any way, but he did let me deal with the things and people in that place."
"What?"
Cheng Yuan stood up with a sigh, her delicate little face full of disbelief.
No penalties?
How is this possible?
Not to mention that the dignified prince made weapons privately, and sold them to the Southern Barbarians, this kind of rebellion is so big that it can rob the family and punish the nine clans, and Tang Wenqi is not punished at all?
"Your Highness, you must be joking, right?"
No, she absolutely didn't believe it.
No matter how much Emperor Xiaowen dotes on Tang Wenqi, the crown prince, it is impossible not to care about the throne under his ass, right?
Isn't he worried that Tang Wenqi will build weapons and cooperate with the Southern Barbarians to directly kill the inner palace and abdicate him?
Ridiculous, this is simply ridiculous!
Seeing Cheng Xiyuan's wide-eyed eyes and a shocked look, Ji Dou felt an unknown emotion in his heart, twisted his eyebrows, and sighed lightly: "I also hope that I am joking with you, but this is the case." ”
"This ......"
"Ah Yuan, Tang Wenqi was held by His Majesty when he was a child and worshiped the ancestors and the prince of the world, to put it mildly, His Majesty will be the heir to the throne after a hundred years, in Your Majesty's opinion, there is no need for the prince to do this kind of rebellious thing, and the weapons he made are just some defective products, in order to just collect money, so Your Majesty will turn big things into small things, and small things into small things......"
"Hehe, it's a trivial matter, making weapons is a trivial matter, and selling weapons is also a trivial matter?" Cheng Jiyuan asked in a low voice.
Ji Dou looked at her crazy appearance and felt very uncomfortable, pursed his thin lips, and said helplessly: "Ah Yuan, this Euphorbia country is surnamed Tang, and it won't be a big deal if Your Majesty doesn't care about it, but don't worry, Your Majesty is also very angry about this matter, and even if you don't punish Tang Wenqi in person, you will make some punishments from the side." ”
As the two were talking, there was a knock on the door.
Ji Dou's expression froze, and he motioned for Cheng Jiyuan not to speak and let the people outside in.
"Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty has decreed that the Duke of Chengen will be degraded to the Marquis of Chengen, and the title of Mrs. Shunhua will be stripped of the title of Mrs. Shunhua, and she will be fined 300,000 taels of silver, which will be handed over on the same day, and His Royal Highness the Third Prince will be ordered to supervise and order the Third Prince to enter the Internal Affairs Office on an errand." The messenger said, kneeling respectfully in the center of the study.
Ji Dou's expression darkened, and he asked coldly, "But there are other wills?" ”
The messenger guard pressed his head down, and paused for a moment before continuing: "Your Majesty told you to deal with the matter as soon as possible, and then take the post of secretary of the household department and the military department." ”
"What?"
This next season, Dou couldn't sit still at all.
The messenger guard was eager to find a crack in the ground and didn't dare to speak.
Ji Dou grinded his back molars, waved his hand to let people retreat, and when he heard the sound of closing the door, he angrily threw the jade in his hand directly into the porcelain basin next to him.
Cheng Jiyuan didn't quite understand why Ji Dou was suddenly angry?
But for her, when she heard Emperor Xiaowen's disposition of the Chengen Mansion, she understood that this was the punishment of Tang Wenqi.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sneer.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty is really strict with himself, just and fair."
The words are good words, but the tone is unspeakable mockery.
At this moment, Ji Dou was also extremely depressed in his heart, and he couldn't wait to go back to the palace directly and ask what Emperor Xiaowen meant?
He knew that Emperor Xiaowen's purpose in promoting himself was to make a whetstone for Tang Wenqi, and he had been trembling over the years, dedicating himself to the role he had given, but he didn't expect that after so many years of dedication, he would directly put him on the cusp.
The household department and the military department are really generous!
The money and military power were given to him, because he was afraid that he would live too leisurely?
Ji Dou couldn't help clenching his fists, his face sank, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Ah Yuan, don't worry, this matter won't be so easy." ”
