When Kong Changhui heard this, he just kowtowed. The emperor waved his hand gently, and Eunuch Li called two guards in and kicked him out.
Kong Changhui stood at the door and wanted to meet the saint. Eunuch Li pouted behind him. Outside the Qingxin Hall, a crowd of people knelt, all waiting to see the saint.
Eunuch Li sighed and advised him: "Master Kong, this servant is doing this for your own good. If you have the time, it's better to go and take care of the little Marquis so that you can feel better on the way..."
Kong Changhui turned around in despair. Eunuch Li took another step forward and said to him: "Prince Yu is indispensable this time. When Mr. Kong publishes the list, remember to promote Prince Yu's wise judgment."
Kong Changhui looked at his powerful face, gritted his teeth, and finally snorted and walked away.
As he walked down the steps, he was pulled aside by Xu Wanjun, the Minister of Household Affairs, and Xie Jiming, the Minister of Rites: "Has the Emperor been convicted?"
Kong Changhui nodded sadly. Seeing that his face was extremely ugly, Xu Wanjun was shocked when he thought that Xiao Yanjun was also inside. He didn't know what he said to add insult to injury, and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong? The emperor will never do it." …”
As he said this, he drew a line on his neck with his thumb.
Jie Jiming glanced at him with a worried look on his face.
"No." Seeing that they had misunderstood, Kong Changhui said quickly: "I'm sentenced to exile."
"Exile is already a great favor. I'll try to find a way to get it back when things calm down. Why are you so embarrassed?" Xu Wanjun patted his chest, and Xie Jiming was obviously relieved.
"Feishanling, set off immediately..." Kong Changhui looked at Xie Jiming, with a hint of sobs in his words.
"Ouch, why were you exiled there?" Xu Wanjun finally knew why Kong Changhui looked so ugly.
"Why do you think the emperor is so cruel? The New Year is about to come, and even the Marquis won't let him give it away..." Kong Changhui's face was full of unbearable expressions, and there was also a hint of complaint.
Xu Wanjun frowned and asked, "Is it Prince Yu's idea?"
Kong Changhui nodded angrily, with a sullen look on his face: "Eunuch Li, that wallflower, saw that the emperor favored Prince Yu today, and just now he specifically told the subordinates that when the official list was announced, they should remember to promote Prince Yu's wise judgment."
After hearing this, Xie Jiming spat hard in the direction of Qingxin Palace...
"Others will have to arrange it for you if they see it." Xu Wanjun quickly turned around to understand Ji Ming, restrained him, and then persuaded Kong Changhui with an embarrassed look on his face: "If Eunuch Li specifically confesses, I advise you, you are the one who posted the list." It’s time to promote it..."
Xie Jiming and Kong Changhui looked at Xu Wanjun at the same time: "You..."
"Stop the ink stains and go back and see him off!" Xu Wanjun suddenly became solemn and pushed Kong Changhui as he spoke.
"Master Xu, I really misjudged you!" Kong Changhui saw that he still looked worried just now, but his face changed in an instant. Although he did not dare to rebuke him, his tone was full of displeasure.
Xie Jiming also looked at him with disdain, and Xu Wanjun reprimanded in a deep voice: "What do you know? Since the Emperor didn't even let the Marquis see him off, he probably didn't want to make it public, for fear that someone would kill him along the way, so why don't you go back?" Send him off quickly and quietly."
Kong Changhui's expression changed when he heard this, and he saluted at a loss, and started to leave in a hurry. Xie Jiming also saluted, chased after him, and shouted from behind: "I'm going with you..."
Kong Changhui paused for a moment, then waited for him to come forward and said as he walked: "Do you really think this is what the emperor means?"
Xie Jiming's face was solemn: "It doesn't matter whether the emperor means this. I'm just afraid that Mr. Xu's guess is true..."
Kong Changhui silently speeded up his pace a little more, and even anxiously pulled Xie Jiming's arm and led him quickly outside the palace.
Xiao Yanjun, who was still in the palace at this time, was filled with joy. He was still thinking about humiliating Xia Chu in prison, so he stood up and asked the emperor for an order: "My son, please go with Mr. Kong."
This time, the emperor did not rely on him. He stretched out his hand and pressed down on him, indicating that he should sit down: "No need, I still have something to discuss with you."
Xiao Yanjun's heart rushed out of the palace. At this time, he had no choice but to be called back by the emperor. He had to sit down again reluctantly. With a look of disappointment on his face, he asked: "Father Does the emperor have anything else to discuss with his ministers?"
The emperor ordered Eunuch Li to serve tea, and then said to him: "Wugetai, the fifth prince of the Mongolian tribe, went to Beijing to watch your wedding ceremony. Do you know this?"
Xiao Yanjun took the tea cup offered by Eunuch Li, and while dusting off the tea foam, he thought for a while and replied: "My son knows, it makes my father laugh to say that a few months ago, the princess was extremely jealous. Fei, threatened to write a letter to the Khan, saying that her ministers had treated her harshly, and it was because of this that the fifth prince Xu was sent to the capital to observe the ceremony to see if the princess was really wronged."
The emperor laughed loudly: "It turns out that this is the reason. You can't wrong the princess and let the fifth prince go back to Mongolia to gossip and ruin the diplomatic relations between the two countries."
Xiao Yanjun smiled apologetically: "What my father reprimanded me for was that I was busy with court affairs and neglected the princess. It's my fault. When the fifth prince comes, I must greet him well. "
The emperor took a sip of tea and nodded under Xiao Yanjun's secret gaze: "That's natural. Let's show him the prosperity of Chang'an."
Seeing the opportunity, Xiao Yanjun asked tentatively: "Since the emperor also has this intention, I plan to let the fifth prince live in Prince Yu's mansion. This will save the Ministry of Rites a lot of money and worry, and secondly, it will also allow the princess and the prince to talk about their brother-sister relationship." "
The emperor put down the tea cup and looked at him: "King Yu is interested. Now he knows how to show sympathy to his ministers. I am very relieved."
Xiao Yanjun curved his lips and smiled: "This is what a son should do. I wonder what your father means?"
The emperor nodded, with a look of fatigue on his face: "As you wish, let's move into Prince Yu's Mansion."
Xiao Yanjun was overjoyed and immediately responded. He saw the emperor leaning back on the chair, holding his hand on his chest with a bleak look on his face.
He was worried that he would not have a chance to talk about the poisoning. Seeing the emperor in such a state, he took the opportunity to say: "My father is not feeling well. In fact, there are hundreds of civil and military officials kneeling outside the Qingxin Palace, begging my father to allow the imperial doctors to consult." , take a look to see if the dragon body is..."
The emperor suddenly opened his eyes, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "I know that you are filial, so I will leave it to you to handle something."
Xiao Yanjun wanted wind to get wind and rain to get rain today.
He even sat in this high position. At this time, the emperor asked him to run an errand. Naturally, he stood up quickly and respectfully replied: "But according to the father's instructions, my son will definitely live up to the holy trust."
