Tang Guogong also fought with the first emperor, and was later named the prince of the country. But Tang Guogong was not the same as the old Yongning Marquis, and in the previous dynasty, the Tang family was a big family in Shangjing. Therefore, the Tang family has a very deep foundation in Shangjing.

However, the Tang family knows how to hide the edge, Tang Guogong is a veteran of the two dynasties, and three of his five sons are on duty in important departments of the imperial court, but he doesn't form a party and doesn't do anything, in fact, if it weren't for some things, he would have resigned and gone home to retire.

But today he suddenly knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, and the minds of the ministers in the court began to twist and turn. The emperor had a headache, and at the same time he was annoyed by the Liang family.

He bent down again to help Tang Guogong, and this time Tang Guogong stood up with tears in his eyes. The emperor took his hand and said warmly: "Aiqing, I remember the contributions made by you and the two Yongning Marquis to our Great Qian Dynasty, and the people of the entire Great Qian Dynasty will not forget it. I will not let my loyal servants be humiliated in the future. ”

After speaking, the emperor walked to the dragon chair and sat down, "It's nothing, just retreat." ”

The emperor walked away with the support of the eunuchs, and Tang Guogong wiped his tears and was helped out of the Qianqing Palace by his two sons. Some ministers came up and wanted to talk, but Tang Guogong waved his hand and said that he didn't want to say more.

It's just a trivial matter, but the ministers are all restless, and they are all waiting to see how the emperor will deal with this matter.

As soon as the emperor returned to the imperial study, he picked up the teacup on the table and slammed it on the ground, and the eunuchs and palace maids immediately knelt down.

"Get out of here." The emperor sat down behind the desk and said coldly.

The eunuchs and palace maids in the imperial study all trembled and quietly went out, leaving the great eunuch Jiao Kangsheng. He put a cup of tea in the emperor's hand and whispered, "Your Majesty, you dissipate your anger." ”

The emperor leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed, and the wrinkles on his face were even more loose. He seemed to be muttering to himself: "Tang Guogong is saying that I bullied the orphans and widows of the Yongning Hou family, and he is complaining that I will not make an order to let the Marquis of Yongning inherit the title." ”

Jiao Kangsheng stood aside and didn't speak, he knew that the emperor was venting his emotions.

"I never thought of cutting the title of Marquis of Yongning, but the tiger charm was not found, and the prestige of Marquis Yongning in the army was still there, so the prince of Marquis Yongning could not attack the lord." Speaking of this, the emperor suddenly raised his voice and said, "Go and call Jingming." ”

The second prince's name is Li Jingming.

Jiao Kangsheng answered, hurriedly went out of the imperial study, and saw the second prince standing outside. Jiao Kangsheng hurriedly said: "Second prince, the emperor called you." ”

The second prince hummed and walked into the imperial study, he was also in the morning today, and he was waiting outside the imperial study as soon as he came. Second Master Liang told him why he broke into the house of the Marquis of Yongning in Meihua Lane.

He felt that although Second Master Liang was a little arrogant in this matter, there was nothing wrong with it. If he received information that Xiao Yuchen harbored the daughter of a criminal minister, he would also investigate.

Walking into the imperial study, the second prince just shouted his father, and a teacup fell at his feet. The second prince hurriedly knelt on his knees, "Father, my son has something to report." ”

"What else do you have to say?" The emperor stood up and raised his finger to the second prince, and said angrily: "The Liang family is poor and rich, and they are more arrogant, for the sake of your mother and your face, I will turn a blind eye." But now you see, what are they arrogant about? In Shangjing, which one is not more profound than his Liang family? Li Jingming, you haven't been the emperor yet. ”

"Father." The second prince kowtowed in fear, "Erchen never thought about it..."

"You really haven't thought about it?" The emperor asked lightly, but the second prince was drenched in cold sweat.

How did he answer this sentence? If you haven't thought about being an emperor, it means that you have no ambition, but how can a prince who has no ambition be an emperor? said that he wanted to be an emperor, let alone that. His father would have thought he wanted to usurp the throne now.

"Father, although the son had some festivals with the Marquis of Yongning before, the Marquis of Yongning is dead, so there is no need for me to hold on to the Marquis of Yongning's mansion all the time. This... This time, Uncle Erchen went to check the mansion of the Marquis of Yongning, and there was a reason. ”

The second prince chose not to answer the emperor's question directly.

"What is the reason?" The emperor asked with a cold snort.

"Father," the second prince took a few steps forward and said, "Erchen's uncle received a letter saying that the prince of Yongning was harboring the daughter of the criminal minister Liu Yushan, so he hid the person in Plum Blossom Lane. ”

The emperor frowned after hearing this, and then raised his hand to let the second prince get up, "Let's get up first." ”

The second prince got up from the ground and stood by the table, when he heard the emperor ask, "Has anyone found it?" ”

The second prince bowed his head and was silent.

The emperor sneered, "If you find someone, the old fox of Tang Guogong will not kneel in the court and cry." ”

"When Uncle Erchen took the people, there was no one there. However, the yard is exquisite, obviously occupied before. "The second prince also hates in his heart, there is no way, why is there no one.

The emperor looked down at the song, was silent for a while, and then asked, "Can you find evidence?" ”

"I haven't found it yet, the Yongning Hou Mansion is very clean." The second prince felt in his heart that it must be the tail of Tang Guogong, Mrs. Yongning Hou did not have this ability, and Xiao Yuchen, the son of Yongning Hou, did not.

The emperor snorted coldly again, "If you want to do something, you have to be sure to do it well, or you don't do it." ”

"Erchen knows." The second prince clenched his fists, not that he was carefully grasping the Yongning Marquis Mansion, but that he had never won when he was fighting Xiao Huai. The Yongning Marquis Mansion is about to become a knot in his heart.

"Let Liang Jianan go to the Yongning Marquis Mansion to apologize." The emperor looked at the second prince with disappointment in his eyes, "Such a simple thing can always be done well, right?" ”

"Yes," the second prince hurriedly replied, "Erchen personally watched his uncle go to the Yongning Marquis Mansion to apologize. ”

The emperor waved his hand impatiently for the second prince to retreat, and then leaned back in the chair a little tiredly, and whispered to himself, "I am not as good as my father, my father gave birth to several excellent sons."

The great eunuch Jiao Kangsheng lowered his head and pretended not to exist, so he heard the emperor say again: "The sixth brother is the most loved by my father and the emperor, I remember that when the sixth brother was a teenager, he argued that a few old foxes were speechless. I and my sixth brother actually... Brotherhood..."

Jiao Kangsheng continued to pretend not to exist, and the emperor leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed, as if he was caught in a memory. After a while, I heard him say again: "How is the concubine lately?" ”

Jiao Kangsheng replied in a low voice: "The concubine lives and eats very well, but she still misses the prince from time to time." ”

"The milk orange that Zhinan paid tribute to is almost here, right?" The emperor asked.

Jiao Kangsheng: "It should be coming in the next few days." ”

The emperor snorted, "Send more to the concubine when you arrive." ”

Jiao Kangsheng said in a low voice.
