"Master, the holy decree has come to the palace."

When the two people in the study heard this, they first glanced at each other, and then quickly got up and walked out.

Not long after, the emperor decreed to praise the righteousness of the lord of Zhaode County, not only for the management of this year's snow disaster, but also selflessly handed over the design of the fireplace to the Ministry of Industry, and also donated 50 fireplaces out of his own pocket.

It spread in the capital.

After hearing about it, many people were quite surprised, and the emperor had already issued an edict to announce the plan for the treatment of this year's snow disaster.

For this plan at this time, many people have praised it again and again after reading it.

I never thought that such a plan would actually come from the lord of Zhaode, and the fireplace, which has been passed down to the people of the capital recently.

Such a good thing, the lord of Zhaode contributed it in this way, and even donated fifty to the imperial court.

Although this is not a big cost, this dedication to the snow disaster still makes many people admire it from the bottom of their hearts.

"What does it mean that my father issued a decree to praise at this time?"

In the Qi Palace, the King of Qi asked a few staff members around him with a puzzled expression.

Just now he had received news from the palace that the prince had caused trouble again, and for no reason he scolded the slave maid who came to donate the fireplace for the lord of Zhaode.

It is said that the emperor was furious, and Guo Fang, who was next to His Royal Highness the Prince, was directly killed by the queen's mother, and he did not let go of his family outside the palace.

The emperor didn't move for a long time, he had been waiting for the emperor to move, and he beat the water dogs.

As a result, he waited for this holy decree to praise the lord of Zhaode County.

"Your Royal Highness, every step of the emperor has a deep meaning, at this time, instead of punishing the prince, but issuing an order to appease the lord of Zhaode, will he want to be partial?"

"After all, I heard that after the emperor decreed the crown prince last time, he regretted it a lot, and it hasn't been long since then, if he continues to punish the prince at this time, I'm afraid it will arouse the suspicion of the courtiers."

King Qi nodded, he also knew about this, and it was precisely because he knew that his father regretted it, so he didn't dare to target the prince with Shen Yu's immorality.

After all, if this one is not careful, it may cause his father to be dissatisfied, but there is no need for this.

"Then according to you, should the news in the palace be spread today?"

"Naturally, I want it, but you have to be very careful, it's best not to use our people, and don't leave clues."

"Otherwise, it will be tantamount to singing against the emperor."

King Qi nodded again and again, although he was afraid that he would provoke the dissatisfaction of Emperor Zhaowu, but he couldn't just give up not targeting the crown prince.

The battle for the throne, once you participate, it is your life and death, you have the opportunity to hurt the other party, and you have to endure the mercy of your subordinates, it is absolutely foolish.

The same idea as him is the King of Chu, and there are many scholars around these two as staff.

As for the rumors, they are very good at playing.

No, not long after the emperor's decree of praise was issued, another piece of news detonated the whole of Kyoto.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually scolded the maidservant who sent the fireplace to the palace for the lord of Zhaode for no reason.

The whole news spread very quickly, even faster than the speed of the palace banquet at the beginning.

After all, it was the two princes who shot at the same time, and if there was no such movement, it would not be in line with their identity.

Soon the news reached the palace.

After hearing this, Empress Shen waved her hand weakly.

This time, the crown prince is afraid that he will have to pay a big price, although he will not be abolished, but I am afraid that there will not be much prestige in the court and the people in the future.

The death was done by herself, and she didn't want to help, but she was powerless.

"Niangniang, the king of Qi and the king of Chu are doing this, the prince's reputation is only afraid that there will be big problems, do you want to come forward to knock one or two?"

"What's the use of beating? The matter has spread, can it be taken back? ”

Empress Shen glanced at Mama Zhou and continued; "It's only him who blames himself, his body is not right, otherwise people won't be able to find a chance."

In this regard, Mama Zhou could only sigh helplessly in her heart.

That's true, His Royal Highness the Prince, I've been doing a little bit lately.

"Isn't there any movement on the emperor's side?"

Mama Zhou shook her head.

"It seems that the emperor is determined to teach the prince a hard lesson this time, and he should indeed teach him a lesson."

"Do you really think it's great to be the crown prince? I don't know how thick the sky is. ”

At this time in the East Palace, after returning from Fengqi Palace, the prince was a little distracted, he really couldn't figure it out, but he was just punishing a servant girl, why the queen mother behaved as if the sky was about to fall.

"Your Highness, there is a letter from Miss Zhao."

A chamberlain walked in from the outside, trembling.

"To Lone."

The little chamberlain sent the letter, and the prince just unfolded it, and when he glanced at it, his face sank.

"King Qi and King Chu, you are looking for death."

What Zhao Yan'er's letter wrote is what is now rumored in the capital.

In addition to being angry, he finally understood why the queen mother behaved like this.

It's really a trouble.

The red sleeves were on behalf of Huo Junyao to donate the fireplace to the imperial court, which was a merit, but before he left the palace, he was beaten by him.

Treating meritorious people like this, based on this alone, he will face the fire of those civil officials in the court, especially the people from the faction of King Qi and King Chu, I am afraid that he will not let him go for a while.

You can't sit like this, you have to do something.

"Hurry up and get ready, I'm going to go to Taifu's mansion."

The little chamberlain hurriedly withdrew from the preparation.

The prince in his mouth refers to his uncle, Empress Shen's brother, and the current uncle of Zhao Guogong Shen Huan.

Since Emperor Zhaowu ascended the throne, in order to prevent people from saying that his relatives were too strong in the future, he took the initiative to resign from his position in the court, and in the end, Emperor Zhaowu retained him many times, so he hung up the position of the prince and the prince of the East Palace.

However, he has always lived in a simple place, and although he has the title of Taifu, he rarely takes the initiative to inquire about the affairs of the East Palace.

But if the prince asks for advice, he will still help with some advice.

The current situation is too troublesome, and the only one the prince can trust is this uncle.

As for the other subordinate officials of the East Palace, he would be worried that it was the King of Qi and the King of Chu, or the people arranged by Emperor Zhaowu.

As soon as his side acted, Emperor Zhaowu heard the news.

I was even more disappointed in this prince.

I can't help but think, when did he, the prince's son, start to become so narrow-minded?

It seems that after the King of Qi and the King of Chu stood up, right?

Speaking of which, Emperor Zhaowu was once very satisfied with the crown prince Xiao Zhihuan, but as he got older, his mind also changed.

Especially after the King of Qi and the King of Chu stood up, the change in his whole person was very obvious.

At first, I didn't trust the people around me, and I always felt that these people seemed to be the eyeliner arranged by the King of Qi and the King of Chu.

If Huo Junyao knew all this, he might say that this prince is typical of persecution paranoia, always feeling as if anyone wants to harm him.

It comes down to too little self-confidence.
