"Father, have you made up your mind to praise the second child?" Zhong Mingzheng stared at the neatly arranged pens, inks, papers and inkstones on the desk, and gritted his teeth, "It's only been a while. First, Cui You'an was canonized as Minister of the Household Department, Zou Shijie has been canonized as Minister of the Ministry of Punishment again, and now he is fine. The value of the second child seems to have caught up with this king!"
What Zhong Mingzheng said was right, there were dignified grandfathers from the first-rank Minister of the Household Department and Zou Shijie from the first-rank Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. Zhong Ming'e's current social status has indeed risen with the tide. Although it is absolutely impossible for the Cui family to be compared with the Zhao family, it will be quite different if the Zou family is added. In particular, the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Punishment are the most important of the six. Naturally, Zhong Mingzheng's father-in-law, An Zishang, is also a first-class minister, but the weight of the Ministry of Rites is lighter. Moreover, he and An Zi had always had a rift. He never wanted to work hard on An's family.
"My lord, there is one thing I don't understand." After a long silence, Ling Shi'an frowned.
"Tell me." Zhong Mingzheng took a sip of his tea. Impatient and authentic. "If you want to say something, you can say it directly, without going around in circles."
"Yes." Ling Shi'an bowed and walked in front of Zhong Mingzheng. "Didn't the Lord Long Live just let the imperial concubine execute the palace daughter named Cuiqing? It can be seen that the Lord Long Live believed that the plate of persimmon cakes was sent to Concubine Hui by concubine Shu. According to the nature of the Lord Long Live, Not only was he very dissatisfied with Concubine Shu, but he would definitely link this matter to Prince Hui, but that day, Lord Long Live sent King Hui Jun to sacrifice to the emperor's mausoleum on behalf of the emperor. What kind of medicine?"
"What medicine can it be? Father always loves my second child the most!" Zhong Mingzheng said coldly, and put the tea cup in his hand heavily on the table, while continuing to grit his teeth, "The second child's body is not good since childhood, father's It is inevitable to pay more attention to him, that's all, but he was born to be obedient and pleasing, and he tried his best to please and flatter his father in front of his father, but his father would eat his way. Er Mingming could memorize the "Teacher's List", but the father only rewarded the second son with a sachet, saying that he understood the prime minister's worries and thoughts better, and he just squeezed two drops of cat urine! But the father still likes him like this The virtues of hypocrisy!"
"From this point of view, instead of implicating this matter in Prince Hui, Lord Long Live has more trust in Prince Hui." Ling Shi'an frowned even more. He took a breath and looked at Zhong Mingzheng. He said in a deep voice, "My lord, do you think there is such a possibility that Long Live Lord noticed something strange about the persimmon cake, and that's why he made the following series of actions?"
"If that's the case..." Zhong Mingzheng also took a deep breath, and then breathed it out silently. He looked solemnly at the censer curling up on the table, and he spoke again after a while, "Then there will be no more Good day, my king."
Yes, what kind of temperament is Zhong Zhiheng? But if you have doubts about someone in your heart, you will only become more and more suspicious of this point in the future. No matter how much you prove your innocence, it is useless. Could it be that King Pingxi and the deposed prince are like this, so later, King Pingxi dared not Back in Beijing, the deposed prince now has a miserable ending, but he never thought that today, the doubts in Zhong Zhiheng's heart would fall on him.
"Go to the right minister's mansion right now and tell the right minister that there is no need to procrastinate, and you can act now." After thinking for a while, Zhong Mingzheng said to Ling Shi'an in a deep voice.
"My lord, isn't this too risky?" Ling Shi'an said with a worried expression, "After all, the Lord Long Live promoted Cui Shi'an and rewarded King Hui for his sacrifice to sweep the imperial tomb. At this time, such a big incident broke out. , Lord Long Live might be suspicious, right?"
"Anyway, he has been suspicious for a long time, and this king doesn't care if he is more suspicious," Zhong Mingzheng said coldly, "Looking at what the father means to the second child, I am afraid that even if the second child has no family, he will be promoted to the prince sooner or later." Yes, it’s hard to say that the second child will squeeze out a few drops of cat urine, and the emperor will reward him with the East Palace. Today, this king wants to completely ruin the second child’s reputation, but I want to see, Can Emperor Father let a rabbit master enter the East Palace?!"
