In the imperial study, Emperor Jingfeng's face was gloomy, and he was imposingly commenting. After reading the book, the anger hidden between his eyebrows became stronger and stronger, and finally he couldn't help it, and slammed the fold in his hand on the table:

"The court brawl a few days ago was a dispute over the prince's study, and now it's only been a few days? This group of people actually let the emperor's eldest son go out of the pavilion to study, and they are embarrassed! ”

"Especially this Zhou Minqing, he took five letters in three days, did he forget that he first brought up this matter that day? At that time, I didn't ask him about his sins when he was old, and he didn't know how to be gracious, so he actually kicked his nose and face to force me in a different way, did you really think that I didn't dare to touch him! ”

Since the court brawl happened, it is equivalent to putting the contradiction of the emperor's eldest son's study on the bright side, Emperor Jingfeng has no way to avoid it, and his temper is like a powder keg waiting to be exploded, and he is about to explode at every turn, which scares the palace maids and eunuchs in the imperial study all day long, for fear that one will be accidentally angered.

Ning Fuhai has served Emperor Jingfeng for many years, and he has already figured out his temperament, and when Emperor Jingfeng finished scolding and relieved his anger a little, he served a cup of tea unhurriedly: "Your Majesty drink tea to moisten your throat." ”

Emperor Jingfeng took it easily, poured most of the cup of tea in one go, and finally felt the restlessness in his chest calm down a little, and sat back in the chair with a calm face to continue to criticize.

Seeing that Emperor Jingfeng's mood had almost calmed down, Ning Fuhai said tentatively: "Your Majesty, Concubine Liu Guifei is here, saying that she wants to see Your Majesty, and she has been waiting outside for half an hour. ”

Emperor Jingfeng paused, and then continued to criticize and fold, without raising his head, and said: "No, let her go back." ”

Ning Fuhai looked embarrassed: "Can ...... Liu Guifei said, if you don't want to see her, she will kneel outside. ”

Emperor Jingfeng snorted heavily from his nose and said coldly: "If she wants to kneel, let her kneel, no one will pay attention to him, I want to see how long she can kneel!" ”

"Yes." Ning Fuhai lowered his eyebrows and said no more.

After a while, someone came in and reported: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Zhao has come down." ”

Emperor Jingfeng's expression eased and said, "Let him come in." ”

Li Rui, the king of Zhao, is the younger brother of Emperor Jingfeng, and Emperor Jingfeng is the eldest son. The first Zhao Wang and his wife died early, Li Rui can be said to be brought up by Emperor Jingfeng, and the two brothers have a good relationship, and they are one of the closest and trusted people to him.

Li Rui is only in the age of the weak crown now, he has no big ambitions in his life, he just wants to live comfortably under the wings of the emperor's brother, eat, drink and have fun on weekdays, and his temperament is quite lazy and uninhibited.

At present, there are no outsiders in the imperial study, Li Rui is too lazy to pay attention to the courtesy, and after being informed by the inner servant, he walked in directly and made a gesture to Emperor Jingfeng: "Brother courtier, please say hello to the imperial brother." ”

Li Rui has always been like this, and Emperor Jingfeng is also used to it, and after a faint hum, he still bowed his head and continued to criticize his own recital: "Find a place to sit yourself." ”

Li Rui casually chose a chair to sit down and asked: "Brother Huang, when the younger brother came in, I saw the concubine Niangniang kneeling outside, although it is already late autumn, but the afternoon sun is still very poisonous, I am afraid that the concubine Niangniang will not be able to stand it if she kneels like this." What mistake did she make to be punished so cruelly by the royal brother? ”

Emperor Jingfeng's tone was cold: "When did I punish her?" She was going to kneel on her own. ”

Li Rui raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, remembering the court brawl a few days ago, and knew in his heart: "There were more than 30 ministers involved in the court brawl two days ago, and the others were all punished and beaten, only Liu Jingnan, the brother of the concubine Niangniang, was dismissed, and the concubine Niangniang was sad in her heart, and it is understandable that she wants to intercede for her brother." ”

Emperor Jingfeng was unmoved: "Her father and brother made such a disaster, she is still embarrassed to have a grudge?" I only punished Liu Jingnan but not Xuanyang Hou, which is already very merciful, what else does she want? ”

Li Rui lowered his head and touched his nose, not daring to answer.

Speaking of this, anger rose in Emperor Jingfeng's chest: "Her father and brother were originally mediocre and useless, but because of her, I made an exception and promoted Liu Qingli, and gave Liu Jingnan the post of deputy commander of the forbidden army. Their Liu family became a relative of the emperor overnight, and now they are considered nobles, and they are still not satisfied. ”

"Three days and two ends up causing trouble, and in the end, I have to wipe their butts! The Liu family is favored, the courtiers already have a lot of criticism of her, and her mother's family is still so restless, won't she want to leave a reputation as a demon concubine in the history books in the future? If you don't teach them a lesson, the Liu family is really going to turn the sky upside down! ”

Li Rui understood the truth and sighed: "Although the noble concubine is complaining now, I think I can still understand the hard work of the imperial brother in the future." But His Royal Highness is young and can't understand the things between the elders, and the royal brother treats him so coldly, the children are afraid that they will be panicked. ”

Speaking of his favorite son, Emperor Jingfeng's tone softened: "Che'er has been smart since he was a child, and when Xiao Zhen was young, I had high hopes for him. As long as he doesn't make mistakes in the future, he will be a prince when he becomes an adult, and he will never lose him. ”

"It's a pity that he has such an unclear mother's family." As he spoke, a cold color flashed in Emperor Jingfeng's eyes, "The Liu family is Che'er's mother's family, and every time Che'er takes a step, the Liu family will follow suit, and they can't get rid of it no matter what." The Liu family is insatiable and does not know how to be satisfied, and they will inevitably mess around outside under the banner of Che'er in the future. ”

"I'm afraid that not only will they not be able to help Che'er, but they will also become a drag on him. Now Che'er is just a prince, they are already so wanton, if they really crown Che'er as the prince, they still have it? Isn't that waiting for them to cause chaos in the court? ”

Li Rui's heart moved, observing Emperor Jingfeng's expression, and asked tentatively, "What does the imperial brother mean...... Do you want to make His Highness the prince? ”

Emperor Jingfeng staggered his gaze from him, lowered his head and looked at the folds on the table: "The inheritance of the eldest son should be like this, I have never said that I will not appoint the eldest prince as the prince." ”

He didn't say that he wouldn't make the eldest prince the prince, but he didn't say that he wanted to make the eldest prince the prince, and it was precisely because of his ambiguous attitude that he fueled the ambitions of the Liu family. Speaking of which, the bane still lies with Emperor Jingfeng himself.

Thinking like this in his heart, Li Rui naturally didn't dare to say it directly, but asked, "When is the imperial brother going to issue an edict?" ”

Emperor Jingfeng's movements paused, and he continued to review the folds: "Let's talk about it." The courtiers have just made a fuss, and if I issue an edict at this time, wouldn't it seem that I am afraid of them? It will definitely get worse in the future. Let's take a moment and let them dry for a while. ”

Well, I haven't made up my mind yet, and I'm going to drag it out again.

Li Rui was stunned when he heard this, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only sigh silently.
