Chapter 787: The Girl's Scheming (31)
At that time, outside the Yangxin Palace, Emperor Zhou was immediately intercepted by King Chang when he went down to the next court, "The son has something to say to his father." β
"Come in." Emperor Zhou was still very tolerant of the fourth son, and after he took King Chang into the study, he sat on a chair and asked what happened.
King Chang didn't get straight to the point, but chose to knock on the side, "Yesterday's incident, my father has heard of it?" β
"Yesterday?" Emperor Zhou frowned and wondered, "What happened yesterday?"
It's just not knowing.
King Chang lowered his eyelashes, "What happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion yesterday, I think the Prime Minister and the eldest prince didn't tell you. β
"Huh?" Emperor Zhou's eyebrows raised, and he said, "What happened to the Song family?"
"Yes." King Chang truthfully explained what happened yesterday to Emperor Zhou, and when Emperor Zhou heard the last obvious anger, he added a sentence in a timely manner: "This matter should not have been intervened, but the matter involved General Zhenbei, as the god of war of the Great Zhou, General Zhenbei's fiancΓ©e was almost drowned by the princess today, if this matter spreads, it will not only lose the face of the royal family, but also make countless border soldiers chill."
"How many sons are defending their families and defending the country on the battlefield, if they hear such news, how can the soldiers be angry? Where does the general get his fighting spirit? Where is the loyalty of the royal family? How can the people be safe? This is not a trivial matter, this is a great plan for the country, the prime minister and the eldest prince can cover their ears and steal the bell, but the sons dare not, the sons are not for themselves, only for their fathers, for this great Zhou world. β
King Chang's words can be described as chivalrous and courageous, and after Emperor Zhou frowned, there was a point of appreciation between his eyebrows.
"That's a good point." Emperor Zhou nodded, "This matter should indeed be explained to Chu Xiao." β
King Chang was overjoyed, but he didn't show it on his face, "According to the will of my father?" β
Emperor Zhou turned his head and instructed Gonggong Jiang beside him, "Send someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion to call Song Ci, Song Xiang and the Yin family, Chu Xiao also called, as for his fiancΓ©e, call him together." β
"Huh."
After Gonggong Jiang took the order and left, Emperor Zhou sent someone to call Princess Anping, and after the person left, Emperor Zhou said to King Chang: "Your youngest sister, it should also be time to get married."
King Chang responded again and again, but he did not express his opinion, and he couldn't guess Emperor Zhou's thoughts, so he didn't guess.
Suddenly, the little father-in-law who went to invite Princess Anping returned, knelt on the ground and returned to Emperor Zhou in fear Princess Anping's body was sick, and she was afraid that she would not be able to come over.
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Zhou's face instantly turned wrong, how could he and King Chang not know that this was An Ping's excuse.
The older the princess gets, the more she thinks.
King Chang looked down on this cowardly sister even more, but Emperor Zhou said very lightly: "Go and call her, if she doesn't come, this princess won't do it."
The little father-in-law retreated tremblingly, and after a while, Princess Anping came in from the outside with a white face, and saw Queen Chang standing beside Emperor Zhou, realizing the incident in the east window, she glared at King Chang viciously, and immediately knelt down to ask Emperor Zhou for peace, "The son is late, please atone for your father." β
Emperor Zhou didn't pay attention to her, nor did he tell her to get up, and when Shi Shiran, the three members of the Song family, came and knelt down with Anping, he didn't speak, and knelt down with the four of them, his face was calm and calm.
Princess Anping glanced at Yin Yue beside her with slanted eyes, and saw that her face was pale and could not hide her haggard appearance, not only did she feel guilty, but also a little gloating.
Not long after, Chu Xiao also came, followed by a childish little girl, who was obviously the future little wife of General Zhenbei.
"Minister, I've seen Your Majesty."
"Courtier, I've seen Your Majesty."
"Get up," Emperor Zhou called the two of them up with a smile on his face, and his eyes fell on the other four, "You guys also get up." β
As if they had been pardoned, the four of them hurriedly got up.
Emperor Zhou glanced at everyone and said unhurriedly: "Today, you are waiting for you, what is going on, you must know it in your hearts."
The prime minister suddenly knelt down again, and said abruptly: "It is the minister's lax discipline that caused such a big incident, please atone for your sins."
"Song Xiang," Emperor Zhou looked at the prime minister with majesty, and he didn't pick it out, but asked casually: "What is the eldest prince this year?"
Prime Minister Song replied with sincere fear: "Twenty and one."
Emperor Zhou smiled faintly, and said unclearly: "It's an adult."
Prime Minister Song's heart trembled and he didn't dare to answer.
"The man is crowned at twenty, and the eldest prince is the prince's attendant, and the words of science and religion should be Shangjia, why did you hide what happened yesterday and didn't report it?"
Emperor Zhou's tone was very light, but everyone trembled when they heard it.
Song Ci didn't do a turtle with a shrunken head, "Your Majesty, this matter is concealed by the minister without authorization, and it has nothing to do with my father." β
"Oh?" Emperor Zhou was a little interested, and looked at Song Ci with a smile, "Could it be that there is still a hidden secret?" β
"There is no hidden feeling," Song Ci said slowly: "It was the minister who made his own decision and wanted to protect his inner son, so he made such a big mistake, please ask Your Majesty to surrender."
"I see." Emperor Zhou nodded, his gaze fell on Yin Yue, who couldn't stop trembling, and there was a little more disdain in his eyes, "What is so outstanding about such a vicious woman who has no virtue and is worthy of your protection?" β
Song Ci replied respectfully: "One day husband and wife, since I am married to the Yin family, I naturally want to protect her."
"It's a loving and righteous one," Emperor Zhou chuckled, his eyes immediately became cold, "Do you know that the lady you are sheltering is a femme fatale who seeks people's lives?" β
"The minister knows." Song Ci replied with difficulty.
"If you know, you don't report it." Emperor Zhou said coldly: "Remembering that you only covered up the crime, and did not cause a catastrophe, from now on, remove the crown prince from the post of attendant, and go home and think about the past."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Song Ci kowtowed indifferently to thank him.
"As for you," Emperor Zhou's gaze fell on the embarrassed Yin Yue, "As a young lady, you don't teach your husband and children in the mansion, respect the old and support the young, and do some insidious villain things, you really don't deserve to be a lady of the mansion, from now on, go to the nunnery to eat fasting and chant Buddha, and practice your conduct." β
For Yin Yue, this result is tantamount to a bolt from the blue, and she went to the nunnery, and her life can be regarded as ruined.
She collapsed to the ground in an instant, and the light in her eyes died out.
Emperor Zhou narrowed his eyes when he saw this, "What?" Do you think what I said is wrong? β
Yin Yue opened her mouth and wanted to refute conditionally, but was pulled by Song Ci.
Yes, she is now facing the emperor, not someone who can let her turn back, her current end is the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha, if she turns back, she will definitely fall to the ground.
"No," she hurriedly shook her head, "the sinner takes orders." β
Emperor Zhou didn't pay attention to her anymore, and turned his head to look at An Ping.
Princess Anping is the most justifiable among several people, she is the daughter of Emperor Zhou, she has been pampered since she was a child, and she doesn't think that Emperor Zhou can be ruthless enough to clean her up.
However, many things in the world do not revolve around her.
"Anping, you are also eighteen this year." Emperor Zhou almost smiled and talked to her, "In Da Zhou, most of the eighteen-year-old girls are already mothers, and I think your marriage should be on the agenda." β
An Ping's body stiffened, and his intuition was not going to be anything good next, so he asked tentatively, "What does Father mean?"
"Years ago, the wolf clan was defeated in the Great Zhou, King Hu wanted to marry Qin and Jin with the Great Zhou, and promised to pay tribute for many years, and not violate the border conditions for ten years, the only requirement is to ask to marry a princess of the Great Zhou as a concubine, in order to show the sincerity of the Great Zhou, I think about it, the royal family only has you as a princess to be married, this time I will marry you into the wolf clan as the princess, what do you think?"
