Chapter 18: The Emperor's Good Impression!
Chengtian Temple.
Wang Tingchuan sat in front of the dragon case and looked at a few pieces of paper in front of him.
It is a detailed record of the poems that Zhao Ling wrote on the spot at the Royal Academy.
"What a ...... He is often a guest in the sad autumn, and more than a hundred years of viruses have appeared on stage! ”
"This kid is young, where does he get so much emotion?"
"I don't know, I'm afraid I still think that he has decades of experience!"
Speaking of which.
Even he couldn't help but chuckle.
"Your Majesty, don't look at Zhao Ling, this guy is usually unreliable!"
"It's really quite unusual at that time!"
"Your Majesty was also not present, otherwise, it would definitely be even more appreciated!"
Hearing this, Wang Tingchuan's gaze finally withdrew from those papers.
looked at Zhao Ning'er, who was standing beside him, smiling.
"You've been pretty busy these past two days......
"I heard that you participated in the poetry meeting, but you accompanied the whole process!"
"Is it possible...... Are you still afraid that he will be bullied? ”
When Zhao Ning'er heard this, her face immediately became nervous, "Your Majesty forgives you!" ”
"The concubine was worried that he would mess around and cause some trouble, so she ......"
Before she could finish speaking, she was about to kneel on the spot.
"Okay, okay......" Wang Tingchuan's face always had a smile.
personally reached out to help Zhao Ning'er and took her in his arms.
"Your Majesty......"
Zhao Ning'er's face was slightly red, and she snuggled in the emperor's arms.
The state of the two is quite intimate at this time.
Yao Liang, the personal eunuch, turned around and looked to the side quite sensibly.
Meantime.
Waving his hand to signal the other eunuchs who were waiting, he immediately withdrew.
"It seems...... I underestimated him before! Wang Tingchuan put his arm around Zhao Ning'er, and his eyes fell on those poems again.
Let's be honest.
If it weren't for those examiners, who guaranteed with their lives, everything that happened in the Royal Academy would have been seen with their own eyes, and there would never have been favoritism.
He wouldn't believe that Zhao Ling actually had such a ability!
The literary world of the Wu Dynasty has been weak for a long time, and perhaps, this is an opportunity to rise again.
Thinking of this, he hugged Zhao Ning'er's hand, didn't he feel even harder.
"I heard...... He has a lot of things to do now, and it seems that he even started the idea of a salt mine! ”
"Is there such a thing?" Wang Tingchuan moved closer and asked in a low voice.
"The concubine is a brother, his imagination is unlimited, and the concubine doesn't know what he wants to do!"
"But the concubine ...... I won't let him do anything like he did before! ”
Hearing these assurances, I felt the nervousness in Zhao Ning'er's words.
Wang Tingchuan laughed, and comforted him very happily: "Don't mention the past!" ”
"As for the prime minister and the queen, you don't have to worry about it!"
"I'm usually too conniving, so I let them be so unscrupulous."
"Since Zhao Ling is interested in salt mines......"
Speaking of which.
Wang Tianchuan turned his head and glanced at Yao Liang, "If I remember correctly, there are two salt mines around Kyoto, which are owned by the royal family, so give them to him!" ”
"Yes!" Yao Liang immediately respectfully said yes.
"Concubine for Zhao Ling, thank you Your Majesty for your love!"
"Family...... Don't talk about that! Wang Tianchuan got up slowly, hugged Zhao Ning'er and walked to the back of the dormitory.
Meantime.
also passed on his faint words, "The colorful glass cup, let him send it to me." ”
"I've waited so long, and there hasn't been any movement, this kid is really underwhelming!"
Yao Liang stood outside, and a smile appeared on his face when he heard these words.
He has followed the emperor for many years, and of course he understands that Zhao Ling not only showed his face this time.
Also completely changed the impression in His Majesty's heart, those poems...... It's a big deal......
……
Meanwhile.
In an inn in Kyoto, Li Xiangshan sat in the room with a gloomy expression.
There were also more than a dozen people present.
They are all important ministers in the court, and they are famous families in Kyoto.
At this time.
No one spoke, and the atmosphere in the room was extremely oppressive.
Li Yu and Xiao Mu were also in it, but they still didn't dare to speak.
In the Royal Academy, in front of so many people, he lost the face of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
And that's not all.
also secretly designed the assassination, and the key was a failure!
This pile of piles made Li Xiangshan a headache.
His heart was full of anger, but there was nowhere to vent it.
That's when it happened.
The door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and a young man with an indifferent expression and dressed in black, accompanied by the two of them, walked in silently.
As soon as he appeared, everyone in the room, including Li Xiangshan.
All of them stood up in unison and looked at this man with respect.
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... everyone saluted in unison.
Li Xiangshan stood in front, his ugly face softened a little.
"You don't have to be polite, sit down......" The young man waved his hand casually and sat down on the main seat.
The crown prince Wang Yan usually lived in the East Palace and helped the emperor deal with political affairs.
A party like this is almost impossible to see in normal times.
According to the rules, the crown prince should not have too close relations with foreign ministers.
Not to mention.
With the temper of the emperor, if he learned about this situation, he would definitely be furious.
But now that the matter is urgent, I can't take care of it so much.
Only as much as possible, to be absolutely confidential!
"This Zhao Ling shined at the poetry meeting, which is indeed very unexpected!"
"The identity of the king side by side, I don't need to say more, right?"
"Now that the queen mother has been demoted, and the prime minister has been disgraced, if he continues to jump like this, I'm afraid there will be big trouble!"
Wang Yan went straight to the point, and he went straight to the topic.
He glanced at the crowd before continuing, "Actually, ......"
"My father doesn't care much about this Zhao Ling, it's just that he is in the way, Zhao Xuan's desperate efforts to save him, and he doesn't want to be tongue-in-cheek!"
"Things have come to this, what can you say, how to deal with it?"
His presence here today is actually to show his attitude.
Whether it is for the queen or his own power, this Zhao Ling must be dealt with.
"Your Highness, this Zhao Ling is too arrogant!" As soon as the prince's voice fell, Xiao Mu stood up directly.
"Not only is he arrogant and domineering at the poetry meeting, but he also uses the Royal Academy as a place for him to sell glass cups!"
"Moreover, after I went back, I immediately sent people to inquire about the news of the salt mine."
"If I'm not mistaken, he must have thought about the land!"
"Yes, Your Highness......" At this time, another official also took the opportunity to stand up.
"According to the news from Chen's house, a salt mine outside Chen's house has been bought by this Zhao Ling."
"I have the ability to compose poems like this, but I never show it, and I have the technology to make colorful glass cups, but the court has no news at all."
"Now I have the idea of land again, even if the salt mine is not worth anything at all."
"But this is enough to prove that he doesn't take the court in his eyes at all, and His Highness can't ignore it!"
Hearing these words, Wang Yan's expression gradually became gloomy......
