"Eunuch Liu, some of our brothers smell like hot pots, so it would be indecent to go to see the emperor like this." King Huai wiped his mouth and said, "Can we go back to the yard and change into clean clothes?"
"Your Majesty has seen all kinds of naughty appearances when you were young, so you don't need to pay attention to these." Liu Zhongbao smiled and saluted: "My lord, please."
King Huai turned to look at King Chen, the father had always loved the fifth brother, but the fifth brother didn't know anything in advance
King Chen shook his head silently, to see what he was doing
The four brothers stood up and saw Eunuch Dali lift Yun Yanze onto the soft sedan chair, and followed them out.
"I knew earlier that I shouldn't eat hot pot today." King Chen sighed: "Even after three days of eating, this king is tired of it."
The other three princes turned to look at him. Can you say something useful at this time
Walking into the Taiyang Palace, King Huai looked around. The guards were the same as before. The number of guards did not increase or decrease, and the palace servants who were serving looked normal. He touched the jade pendant on his waist, took a deep breath, and took the lead in approaching the gate of the main hall.
"It's all here?" Emperor Longfeng glanced at his five sons, lowered his head and continued to write and draw on the paper. King Huai put his hands behind his back and poked King Chen secretly.
As the most favored son, it's your time to step up.
King Chen took two steps to the side. No matter how favored his son was, he had to know how to look at Lao Tzu's face.
Does he look stupid and come out at such a time
There was a dead silence in the hall, and the princes did not dare to come out.
After about two incense sticks, Emperor Longfeng finally spoke again: "Do you know why I asked you to come here today? Boss, tell me."
Wang Huai shook his head with a pretense of calmness in his heart.
Was the scout he placed in Prince Qi's mansion discovered by his father? Or did the words of privately scolding Su Guifei and Yun Duqing spread to the father's ears
Accidentally broke the royal gift
Befriend certain officials privately
Received the filial piety of the following people
Find a sixth-grade real shortage for the princess's mother's cousin
"Second, how about you?"
An Wang quickly shook his head.
Emperor Longfeng looked at King Jing, and before he could ask, King Jing shook his head.
King Qi leaned against the chair, coughed lightly while clutching his chest, his face pale.
"Royal Father, don't look at Erchen." King Chen said cheekily: "You know all the things Erchen does on weekdays, so there is no need for Erchen to repeat it."
The four brothers turned their heads to look at King Chen, listening to his tone, are they quite proud
"It seems that you don't know anything about your own business." Emperor Longfeng put down his pen and said in a low voice: "I'm not dead yet, and I don't need you to worry about this position every day!"
"Father!" King Huai's expression changed drastically, and he knelt on the ground with a thud. When the other princes heard the words of Emperor Longfeng, their faces turned pale with fright, and they knelt on the ground and did not dare to look up.
"Look for yourself." Emperor Longfeng smashed several thick books on his sons. I don't know if it was coincidence.
"Young counselor, put on eyeliner!" Emperor Longfeng sneered: "You guys would have been in prison long ago during the years of Xiande, and you don't even know how to get in."
"You keep counselors in your own house. Why, I'm afraid I don't know?" Emperor Longfeng picked up the scroll and smashed King Huai's head twice: "You have the ability to accept people's filial piety, but you don't know how to do things. clean?"
King Huai shrank his head and did not dare to speak.
"And you, who have been both civil and military since childhood, turned a blind eye to what the Zheng family did." Emperor Longfeng pointed to King Qi, "Do you know how your Sixth Emperor Uncle died?"
"It was killed by his brainless grandfather's family." Emperor Longfeng sneered: "He was sent to Youzhou, and he died suddenly halfway through the journey in just a few days."
"What you are doing now is all that was left by those brothers who were playing!" Looking at these sons kneeling on the ground, Emperor Longfeng became more and more angry, kicked King Huai, and King Huai rolled along. Just hitting the wound on King Qi's body, King Qi groaned.
"In the capital, if you don't have the ability to keep secrets, don't do anything. As a prince, it's not wrong to have ambition. What's wrong is to have ambition but no brains." Emperor Longfeng had no expression on his face, but he It's even scarier to be angry: "I blame you for being so good to you, for making you a bunch of idiots."
"You should be lucky, I am your father." Emperor Longfeng sat down on the steps and pointed to the books scattered all over the floor: "Pick them all up and take a look."
The princes did not dare to move.
"Show me!" Emperor Longfeng's chest heaved violently.
King Huai shook his hands and picked up a book that was in his hand, and after a few glances, he dared not read any further: "Father, this son is convicted! Please forgive my son, and my son will never dare to read it again. "
King Chen walked around the table, poured a cup of tea and brought it to Emperor Longfeng: "Father, calm down."
"And you, two spies were placed in the mansion, but they didn't find it." Emperor Longfeng took two sips of tea, turned his head and started scolding King Chen: "Why are you managing the palace?"
"Two?" King Chen wondered, "Not three?"
"It's not that I don't know that they are spies, I'm not trying to find out who sent them, and they were summoned into the palace before I had time." King Chen tapped on the back for Emperor Longfeng: "This matter can't be. Is it all the fault of Erchen? Erchen never expected that a few older brothers would send spies to my house."
King Huai, whose forehead touched the ground, cursed inwardly, don't you know
"I know all the things you have done." Emperor Longfeng said with a blank expression: "If I dare to do it again in the future, I am not afraid of taking on the notoriety of murder."
King Qi clutched his chest, the wound split open, and his lining was sticky to the wound, which was extremely uncomfortable. He looked up at the unfathomable father emperor, and bowed his head respectfully.
Father, how much do you know
"Since I ascended the throne, I have invited famous ministers as teachers for you, and let you learn the arts of literature and martial arts, and you have learned these methods that are not on the table."
"I am so disappointed in you."
Emperor Longfeng stood up from the steps, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Pass my will."
"The king of Huai and the king of Qi were disrespectful in front of the royal court and angered the emperor..."
"I beg your father for mercy." King Huai knelt in front of Emperor Longfeng and said, "My son is wrong."
"If you know it's wrong, change it." Emperor Longfeng looked at King Qi: "Fourth, how about you?"
"My son... I know I'm wrong." King Qi kowtowed.
wrong
His biggest mistake was that he was too good. He grabbed Yun Duqing's limelight and became a thorn in his father's side.
Listening to King Huai's plea, King Qi sneered in his heart, the boss blamed himself for occupying the position of the eldest son, which became an obstacle for Yun Duqing to inherit the throne.
In the eyes of the royal father, I am afraid that except for Yun Duqing, no one is his child.
Even if he smashed his head at this time, the emperor could not miss the good opportunity to pave the way for Yun Duqing.
King Chen saw that King Huai's forehead was swollen, and he almost stumbled to the ground. He stretched out his hand to help him: "Brother, be careful."
King Huai secretly complained in his heart, what is a kowtow, listening to his father's tone, it is clear that he is going to cut off his throne!
"For the sake of King Huai's good attitude in confessing his guilt, he will be fined for one year, and he will not be able to leave the palace without an edict within half a year." To the King of Qi: "The King of Qi... cut off the prince's rank, demoted him to the king of the county, fined him a year's salary, and cannot leave the palace without an edict."
"Come here, after half a stick of incense, take King Huai and King Qi down and play fifteen big boards."
King Qi's body knelt on the ground and shook: "My son... take orders."
"As for you..."
Prince An and Prince Jing kowtowed in unison, and they didn't even have the courage to raise their heads.
Emperor Longfeng glanced at King Chen: "The three of you have also made a lot of mistakes. All of you will be fined for half a year, and you will be allowed to stay in the palace honestly, and you are not allowed to go anywhere."
"Royal father." King Chen whispered and reminded politely: "Now, there is only one and a half months left for the marriage of the son-in-law."
Not letting him out of the palace is inappropriate, right
"Then you will get married in the palace." Emperor Longfeng said angrily: "There are so many empty palaces in the palace that it can fit your young couple."
King Huai, who was just glad that he had escaped the catastrophe, suddenly became sour. The emperor actually let his adult son with a title be married in the palace
Isn't that the exclusive treatment of the Prince of the East Palace
The other princes and princesses were all crowded into the small courtyard of Zhangliu Palace. When Yun Duqing got married, there was a palace
King Huai's heart was sour, but he didn't dare to say it. Not only did he dare not say it, but he also complimented his father's suggestion: "My father is right, the fifth brother's marriage is a major event, and the outside of the palace is not as good as the inside of the palace."
"This..." King Chen hesitated, the wedding ceremony was held in the palace, many guests could not attend the banquet, it was not lively enough.
Seeing that Yun Duqing was still not very happy, the other princes wanted to scold people. Why is he unhappy about such a good thing
Being favored is great, can you be fearless
At this moment, the Mingyue Palace is much more lively than before.
The biological mothers of the princes and princesses all sat in the Mingyue Palace in the name of Please An, and even Concubine Xu, who lived in seclusion, came with a slightly pale face.
"Everyone made an appointment today. Come and greet this palace together?" Concubine Su Gui sighed: "Why is this, everyone, this palace never pays attention to politeness, so don't do this in the future."
After the concubines and concubines exchanged a few words, finally someone couldn't help it and started talking about the prince and princess: "Niangniang, concubine heard that His Majesty has summoned all the princes and princesses into Taiyang Palace, and did not let outsiders approach, Niangniang knows that, What is this... for?"
"Concubine Zhang, this palace remembers that Princess Roude came from under your knees?" Concubine Su flexed her knuckles and gently rubbed her chin: "How can this palace know about your majesty's whereabouts? If Concubine Zhang is curious, why not? Go to Taiyang Palace and ask in person, this palace will let you be prepared for you."
Concubine Zhang's face changed: "Concubines don't dare."
"Since you don't dare, does this palace dare?" Su Guifei leaned back lazily: "You don't have to worry too much, your majesty is the father of the prince and princess, how can a father harm his own child?"
It was rare for Concubine Su to tell them a few sincere words: "Your Majesty is a benevolent and wise man, even if the princes have made mistakes, they will also take care of the father and son's love."
The concubines: "..."
Who believes this kind of nonsense, everyone is a harem concubine, what's the point of telling such a lie
When the late emperor was there, how many sons and daughters were trapped by him
There is no father and son in the royal family, only monarchs and ministers.
"Niangniang, there is news from Taiyang Palace that your Highness has been fined for half a year." A maid of Mingyue Palace walked into the door: "The maid of Taiyang Palace also said that if there is no order from Your Majesty in the future, Niangniang, you are not allowed to send anything to His Highness."
When the other concubines heard the words, they immediately showed a gentle smile of schadenfreude.
It turned out that it was King Chen who was punished.
"Also, King Huai, King An, King Jing, and King Qi Jun have all been severely punished..."
Are you fined
King of Qi County
The king
The schadenfreude smiles of the concubines froze on their faces, their faces pale.
What the hell is going on
