Chapter 297: The Emperor's Suspicion

In a certain study room of Taixue, Mr. Meng was reading the articles and poems sent by the students. He reads each article very carefully, and revises or annotates it.

After finishing the lecture, Mr. Meng did not rest at all, and read the articles or poems written by the students attentively. Although there are many students who write very bad articles or poems, so bad that they can't bear to look at them directly, not only do they not get angry, but they will write down their opinions seriously.

Li Fushu knew that Mr. Meng was busy reading articles or poems when he came back from teaching, so he rarely came to disturb his old man. However, he had just received a letter of worship from the eunuch beside the prince, and he couldn't help but sit idly by, so he could only come over to disturb Mr. Meng.

Mr. Meng's scholar was guarding the door of the study, and when he saw Li Servant coming, he hurriedly saluted him, and then said that Mr. Meng was busy and didn't want anyone to disturb him.

Li Fushu said that he knew, but the prayer note in his hand had to be handed over to Mr. Meng, and he had to hand it over in person.

When the scholar heard Li Fu say this, he opened the door of the study and asked Li Fu to shoot in.

Mr. Meng looked at it carefully, and did not hear the sound of the door opening, until Li Fujiao saluted him, and he did not realize the existence of Li Fujiao.

Li Fushu hurriedly apologized to Mr. Meng, saying that he didn't come over on purpose to disturb his old man. Because of the prayer post sent by His Royal Highness the Prince, he had to come over to send the prayer post.

When Mr. Meng heard this, his brows furrowed, and he immediately reached out to take the prayer post, and then threw it aside.

Seeing that Mr. Meng didn't open it, Li Fu hesitated, and then opened his mouth to remind the old man.

"Elder Meng, the person sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not left yet, and is still waiting for your reply."

When Mr. Meng heard this, a trace of impatience crossed his eyes, and he immediately said politely to Li Fuchai: "Trouble Servant Chai, tell the person sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that I am busy. ”

Seeing that Mr. Meng was so unkind to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Li Fuchu was a little surprised in his heart, and he felt that Mr. Meng was a little unhappy. He hesitated again and spoke: "Old Meng, you should first take a look at His Royal Highness the Prince's greetings, and then go back to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"There's no need." Mr. Meng's tone was a little cold, and then he picked up the prayer note that he had just thrown aside, and shot it to Li Servant: "Trouble the servant to shoot back to the person sent by His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Li Fushu was frightened by Mr. Meng's attitude, and asked with a big change in his face, "What are you doing here?" ”

Mr. Meng said very bluntly and unceremoniously: "I don't want to see His Royal Highness the Prince, and I don't want to see His Royal Highness the Acting King, ask them not to write me a letter of worship, I won't go." Of course, I also hope that they don't come to bother me. ”

Since Mr. Meng came to the capital, it has always been Li Servant who entertained his old man. Although the two of them didn't get along for a long time, Mr. Meng felt very kind and kind to Li Servant, and it was the first time he saw Mr. Meng so unhappy and so polite.

"You ......"

"Didn't the emperor tell the crown prince not to disturb me casually." Old Mr. Meng said with a slightly calm face, "Didn't you say that without my consent, the prince and they can't come to see me?" ”

Li Fushu said: "The emperor did give such an order. ”

"Then let the prince's people go back, and let him not come again in the future." As soon as Mr. Meng finished speaking, he suddenly thought of the articles and poems sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before. He hurriedly stood up and searched for it.

"Old Meng, what are you looking for?" Seeing that Mr. Meng was looking for something in a pile of books and a pile of articles, Li Fu walked over and wanted to help him find the old man. "I'll help you find it."

Mr. Meng found the articles and poems sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the corner, found them, and then handed them to Li Fuju.

"Trouble the servant to shoot the person who returned it to the prince, and tell him that I am only a shallow scholar and am not qualified to review His Royal Highness the prince's article."

Li Fushu was stunned and took the article handed by Mr. Meng. He looked at Old Mr. Meng in disbelief: "Aren't you afraid of angering His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" "Mr. Meng, this ...... It's too unkind to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"Don't be afraid." Mr. Meng said coldly, "I'm just a bad old man, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to kill or kill casually." ”

Li Fuji: "......" I didn't expect Mr. Meng's temper to be so ...... It's so hot.

"I'm about to go into the ground, there's nothing to be afraid of." Mr. Meng returned to his desk, raised his head and looked at Li Fujiao, his tone became much softer, "Trouble Fuchu to help me tell you." ”

"Your words, I will convey them to the prince's people word for word."

"The tired servant cums."

"You're welcome." Li Fu shot at Mr. Meng and saluted, "Then I won't bother you, I will leave first." ”

"Shoot slowly."

Li Fu shot out of the study, stretched out his hand to close the door of the study, and immediately went to the front of the guest hall.

Lu Cong was sitting drinking tea, and when he saw Li Servant shooting back, he hurriedly stood up.

Li Fuxian politely apologized to Lu Cong, saying that he had waited for a long time. In fact, Lu Cong didn't wait long, not even a moment's effort. Lu Cong also felt that Li Fu shot back too quickly.

"Father-in-law Lu, this is what Elder Meng asked me to hand over to you, I hope you will pass it on to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Before returning to see Lu Cong, Li Fushu very thoughtfully packed the prayer notes and articles written by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in a brocade box.

Lu Cong first gave a thank you gift to Li Fu, and then took the brocade box with both hands. He hurriedly asked, "Does Mr. Meng have anything to say?" ”

Li Fushu's expression stiffened slightly, and he immediately told Lu Cong exactly what Mr. Meng had just said.

After hearing this, Lu Cong's face was very ugly.

He asked with some disbelief, "Is that really what Elder Meng said?" ”

"That's right, Meng Lao repeatedly emphasized that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not come to disturb his old man, and said that he was not qualified to review His Royal Highness the Prince's articles, and he was not as good as the gentleman in the East Palace." Li Fushu did not add fuel and vinegar to Mr. Meng's words, but really conveyed them to Lu Cong word for word.

Lu Cong's eyes were gloomy, and his expression was gloomy.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Very good, I will tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince one by one." With that, he shook off the dust in his hand and turned to leave.

Li Fushu did not personally send Lu Cong to the door, but asked his son to send Lu Cong away.

"Dad, when Mr. Meng says this, he is not afraid of angering His Royal Highness the Prince?" The eldest son of Li Fushu asked.

"Meng Lao said that he was about to enter the ground, and he was not afraid of His Royal Highness the Prince, and also said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to kill or chop at will."

Li Fu's eldest son: "......"

After he was stunned for a while, he asked with a very shocked expression: "Dad, does Elder Meng really say that." ”

Li Fu nodded: "Hmm." ”

The eldest son of Li Fujiao exclaimed: "I didn't expect Mr. Meng to be so ......" He is a junior, and it is not good to say that Meng Lao is not.

Li Fushu suddenly chuckled and said, "It seems that Elder Meng is very dissatisfied with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." "The more Meng Lao is dissatisfied with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the more beneficial it is to His Royal Highness the King of Chu.

Li Fu's eldest son also laughed and said, "It seems that Elder Meng was very angry about the fact that the prince sent people to harass him before. ”

"If it weren't for being annoyed by the crown prince and the people acting for the king, Meng Lao would not have gone out to the mountain to give lectures." Li Fu stroked his beard and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu was right to ask us not to disturb Mr. Meng. "I heard that when the crown prince and the acting king sent someone to invite Mr. Meng, Li Fushu told His Royal Highness the King of Chu about this matter, and he felt that they should also invite Mr. Meng, but His Royal Highness the King of Chu vetoed it.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu is still wise." If they sent someone to invite Mr. Meng, they were afraid that they would also anger him. "Dad, should Mr. Meng's attitude towards His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be passed on?"

"You don't have to pass it on. In two days, everyone will know. ”

Li Fu's eldest son thought about it and felt that it was too.

Mr. Meng has been in the capital to give lectures for a few days, but he has never seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince go down to visit his old man, and everyone will know what the reason is by then.

"Dad, you said that Meng Lao will go to Liangzhou to give a lecture next, will he see His Royal Highness the King of Chu?"

"Yes!" Li Fushu said very firmly, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu is different from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Acting King. In the past two or three years, under the management of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, there have been more and more academies in Liangzhou, and there are more and more students who go to study in Liangzhou, and there are also many literati students who go to Liangzhou to become officials. ”

He added: "Meng Lao decided to go to Liangzhou for the second time to give lectures, because Liangzhou values scholars, and all this is the credit of His Royal Highness the King of Chu. ”

Afraid that Mr. Meng would be dissatisfied with His Royal Highness the King of Chu, Li Fushu never boasted about His Royal Highness the King of Chu in front of his old man, nor did he mention how much His Royal Highness the King of Chu respected Old Meng.

His Royal Highness the King of Chu wrote to Li Fu and told them not to show him in front of Mr. Meng. If you mention it, it will not be good for him.

Li Fushu not only did not mention His Royal Highness the King of Chu, nor did he mention other princes, but only mentioned some talented students in the capital.

"When Elder Meng goes to Liangzhou, he will definitely go to see His Highness."

"As long as Meng Lao sees His Royal Highness the King of Chu, then His Royal Highness the King of Chu will be respected by all the scholars in the world, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Acting King will ......" Li Fu's eldest son said this, and did not say any more, but his rather smug expression already explained everything.

"Now, let's pretend we don't know anything." Li Fu shot the old god and said, "The emperor asked us to entertain Meng Lao as much as we wanted, and we must not do superfluous things." ”

"Daddy is right."

At this time, Lu Cong had already returned to the East Palace and told the prince what Li Servant had said to him.

When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince heard this, he was naturally furious. Of course, there are also difficult to accept. He didn't dare to say that Mr. Meng was not, so he could only be angry with Li Fuchai, saying that Li Fuchu was a hindrance and spreading Mr. Meng's words indiscriminately. also said that his greeting posts and articles, Li Fujiao must not have given them to Mr. Meng.

Lu Cong felt that His Royal Highness the Prince's words were very reasonable, and followed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to scold Li Servant angrily.

The Eighth Prince on the side only thought it was funny that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so self-deceiving. So, he proposed to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to report to the emperor about Li Fu's situation.

What he said was casual, but he didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to take it seriously, and immediately went to the imperial study to find the emperor to complain.

The emperor was reviewing the recital, and when he learned that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had something to look for him, he asked Sun Kui to call him in.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walked into the imperial study, first saluted the emperor respectfully, and then angrily sued Li Fu. He sued Li Fugun for dereliction of duty, disobedience to the yang and yin, and using Mr. Meng to humiliate the prince.

The Emperor was dumbfounded. Sun Kui, who was standing on the side, was also dumbfounded.

After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince finished talking about the charges against Li Fu, he asked the emperor to punish him severely.

The emperor put down the fold and cinnabar pen in his hand, and asked with a slightly calm face if there was any evidence for the crimes that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had just mentioned.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said yes, and then told the emperor what Lu Cong said to him.

When the emperor heard this, his expression became very strange.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still angrily scolding: "How could Mr. Meng say such a thing, it must be Li Servant who humiliated me in the name of Meng Lao." Father, Li Fujiao is really too bold and reckless, and he must not be spared. ”

The emperor's eyes were very strange when he looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, as if he was looking at something strange.

Is this my son?

Sun Kui's face was dumbfounded: Is this person in front of him really His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a ghost?

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't notice the emperor's strange face, and continued to scold Li Fujiao. In his mouth, Li Fuchu is a traitorous villain who deceives his superiors and subordinates and deceives his subordinates.

The emperor did not interrupt His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's words, and quietly listened to his scolding.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince scolded for a while before stopping, and then asked the emperor to severely punish Li Fu.

The emperor saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was no longer scolding, so he spoke: "Prince, do you think that Meng Lao didn't see you because Li Fushu didn't send your greeting post and the article you wrote to Meng Lao?" ”

"Yes, Father."

"Do you think Li Fuchu is so bold?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's words just now made the emperor feel that his eldest son's brain was not eaten by a dog.

"Father, what don't you dare to shoot Li Fu."

"Why do you say that Li Fujiao did this, doesn't he know that it is a capital crime to deceive and humiliate the prince?" Listening to the prince's stupidity, no, joke. The emperor didn't have a little anger in his heart, but felt funny. He really hadn't heard such a funny joke in a long time.

"Father, Li Servant is so daring."

The emperor said expressionlessly, "Didn't you think that Old Meng didn't want to see you?" ”

"Father, why doesn't Elder Meng want to see his son?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince couldn't accept it, and he didn't want to believe that Elder Meng didn't want to see him. "Erchen is full of reverence for Meng Lao."

The emperor said what the prince wanted to say but didn't dare to say: "You want to say that you are the crown prince, it is impossible for Meng Lao not to see you." ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not speak. Because that's what he thinks.

The Emperor picked up a book and smashed it at the prince's head. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince subconsciously dodged, but did not dare to move.

With a bang, it slammed into the head of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Although it is not as hard as an inkstone, it still hurts a little to hit your head. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so frightened that he knelt down and asked for sin: "Father, forgive me." ”

"Why did Meng Lao go out to the mountains to give lectures, don't you have a little in your heart?" The emperor was not angry, but when he saw the prince's stupidity, the more he looked at it, the more angry he became. "People were forced by you to stay in the mountains and forests, and they had to go out to give lectures as a last resort."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lowered his head and did not dare to say a word.

"What you and the second child did to Meng Lao, do you really think I don't know?" The emperor pointed at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and scolded angrily, "You and the second child really think that I don't know anything about that little bit of thought? ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lay on the ground and said, "Erchen doesn't dare. ”

"Why don't you dare." The emperor's tone was full of cold mockery, "You and the second child think that if you get the favor of Mr. Meng, you will be able to sit firmly on your crown prince's throne, and the second child will be able to become the crown prince." ”

What he thought in his heart was said to the point, and His Royal Highness the Prince's face turned red, and his heart was embarrassed, uneasy and afraid.

"Erchen doesn't dare."

"As a prince, you don't want to benefit the people well, but you think about things all day long." The emperor glared at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with cold eyes, "Are you so worthy of being the prince of a country?" ”

The emperor was so angry that he almost cursed.

"Father, son, ......"

"Shut up!" The emperor scolded His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, "Meng Lao was annoyed by you and the second child before he went out to give a lecture." The reason why people come to the capital to give lectures in the first place is to get rid of you. People don't want to see you, they don't want to read the articles you wrote, but you think it's Li Fu's fault, and you really opened my eyes. ”

The thing that the emperor was most unwilling to accept was said, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only felt very embarrassed.

"Do you think that you are great if you are the prince, do you think that everyone should please you, but Mr. Meng doesn't please you, you don't dare to blame Meng Lao, just blame Li Servant, you are really promising." The emperor couldn't believe that he had given birth to such a stupid son, "It's not that you don't dare to blame Meng Lao, but you don't dare to blame it blatantly, because Meng Lao is still useful to you, and you still expect Meng Lao, a great Confucian, to help you sit on the throne." ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince turned pale with fright, kowtowed, and begged for mercy: "Father, the sons don't dare, the sons have no such thoughts." ”

"No, do you think I'll believe it?" The emperor said with a sneering face, "I was afraid that you would disturb Meng Lao, so I specially issued a holy decree so that you could not harass his old man. ”

The emperor continued: "Meng Lao said this, you still shamelessly thought that Meng Lao wanted to see you, but he was shot by Li Servant to make an obstacle. You've surprised me every time. ”

"Father, the son knows that he is wrong."

"Elder Meng doesn't want to see you, so you should keep me away from his old man's house. If you let me know that you sent a message and an article, I would never spare it. The Emperor angrily rebuked, "Get out of here! ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hurriedly stood up and saluted the emperor, and then hurriedly withdrew from the imperial study.

Sun Doudou saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince staggering out, and almost fell, and when he was about to step forward to support him, he ran away crookedly.

What's wrong with His Royal Highness the Prince, looking like you're being chased by a ghost?

In the imperial study, Sun Kui was busy bringing a cup of tea to the emperor: "Your Majesty, take a sip of tea to dissipate your anger." ”

The emperor grabbed the teacup and drank it with his head up. After drinking, he slammed the teacup on the royal table.

"Your Majesty, you dissipate your anger, don't be angry with the dragon body."

"Is he really my son?" The Emperor said angrily, "How could I have given birth to a son as stupid as a pig? ”

Sun Kui persuaded and said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may be temporary...... Didn't figure it out. Actually, he wanted to say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was confused.

"I always felt that he was not incorrigibly stupid, but he relied too much on Zhenguo Gong, but just after hearing him say those ridiculous words, I suddenly realized that he was really stupid, and I can't blame Zhenguo Gong for teaching him badly."

Sun Kui didn't respond to this.

"Did you say that the first queen gave birth to a daughter, and then brought a son from outside to pretend to be my son?" The emperor had to be so suspicious.

Old iron, I'm sorry, something happened today and I came back late, and I didn't have time to update the code word, so I'll update it tomorrow.

Emperor: How could I have given birth to a son who is as stupid as a pig?!

First Queen: It's all the fault of the concubines.

In the end, I still ask for a monthly pass! Ask for a tip! Leave a message!
