At the morning court, the emperor confined the crown prince and got angry. This news spread quickly. Everyone was waiting for the emperor to abdicate, but the emperor's sudden change caught everyone off guard.
Ministry of Revenue, the Shangshu Xiao Qing is almost becoming the mascot of the Ministry of Revenue. This is really not Zhou Shuren seeking power, but Xiao Qing is throwing power to him.
Xiao Qing came back without saying anything, just looked at Zhou Shuren.
Zhou Shuren, "... Sir, you look at me like this, have I done anything wrong?"
Xiao Qing touched the teacup, "No, you did a good job."
"Then your Excellency wants me to rest for a few days?"
Xiao Qing, "... You think too much."
Zhou Shuren said "oh". He knew what Xiao Qing felt, but he couldn't say it!
Seeing that Zhou Shuren still had the energy to bargain and joke with him, Xiao Qing's tension was completely relieved. He thought that the Emperor might make some move today. He was really afraid that there would be no good result at the end. He really only wanted the prince to ascend the throne.
Another quarter of an hour passed, and Zhou Shuren could no longer do it. "Sir, I still have work to do. What do you think?"
"Go back and get busy."
In the Prince of Qi's mansion, the Prince of Qi sent away the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict. With a pale face, he walked straight to the main courtyard where the princess was. When he came in, he saw the princess sitting in a rocking chair listening to music. When he took a look, the Prince of Qi felt a little stomachache.
The King of Qi had a dark face and said, "Princess, you have a good character."
The maid playing the piano was a rare beauty. Looking more closely, some of the maids in the princess's courtyard were very good-looking. In the past, the princess was very wary of him, and the maids around her did not look very good.
The Princess of Qi is very free and easy now. How can she not be? She has a good family, she has money and property, and two legitimate sons. She doesn't have to rack her brains to scheme, nor does she have to keep an eye on the Prince of Qi. As long as he is not brought into the palace to disgust her, she is happy to live her own life.
Princess Qi raised her eyelids and said, "Oh, I haven't seen you for a long time. Why do you look so haggard? Look at what I said. You should take it easy. There are many beauties. If your health is gone, then it's really over."
The prince of Qi vomited a mouthful of blood in his chest. The princess knew what happened yesterday. "Father has ordered that the second son and I should attend the morning court tomorrow. Father had a tantrum against the crown prince at the morning court today."
Princess Qi put away her thorns, her eyes turned serious, "Father, you shouldn't be angry with the crown prince. He is the apple of your eye, the treasure of your heart."
She won't argue anymore, as she has finally understood that people's hearts are biased. Her father favors the legitimate son and the empress, and they both believe that the prince will succeed to the throne. She suddenly feels something is wrong!
The King of Qi didn't want to see any beauties now, so he motioned for everyone to leave. "Go to the palace to see the Queen Mother, and then let her take you to the Queen Mother's palace to pay respects."
The emperor's face was sallow, and he felt very uneasy. As for fighting for a chance, he had no intention of doing so. He let go quickly, and the power in his hands would not cause any trouble. Without the support of my grandfather, he just let it go.
But the other brothers were silent. The third brother, who was suppressed by the prince, and the fourth brother, who is now the prince's knife, were the most miserable in comparison.
Princess Qi lay back down again and said, "No."
Go to hell, it’s better to just stay at home now. Anyway, she is not the one attending the morning court tomorrow, so what does being punished or scolded have to do with her
The King of Qi was annoyed, "This is not the time to be angry."
"Goodbye, I won't see you off."
Whenever I think of her, bah!
At Zhou's house, Xue Han came back with Lin Xi in her arms. Zhu Lan looked at her and asked, "What do you want to ask?"
This is because it was an early morning court session and Shu Ren was with the emperor yesterday, so he came to inquire about the news.
Xue Han put her daughter down and spread her hands. "It's not that my daughter wanted to come back to ask, sister-in-law, I went to the Marquis' Mansion to look for me, and my father-in-law also asked me to come back, so I came back with the child."
She knew very well in her heart that if anything really happened, her parents would definitely send her and Rongchuan a message. Since they didn't send any message yesterday, she didn't need to worry.
Zhulan, "In fact, the Ning family can ask the prince."
"Mother, I sent someone, but the Prince's Mansion was tightly closed. No one was seen, and the door was not opened."
Zhulan, "I guess there will be a lot of people coming to me to ask questions."
Xue Han smiled when she saw her mother didn't say anything. She didn't even need to ask. Her mother's silence was the best answer. "They are all afraid."
Zhulan expressed her understanding and said, "Just live your life down to earth."
As for Rongchuan, he was also anxious, but after someone handed him a note, Rongchuan calmly burned the note. He was still a little shocked in his heart. His father personally gave him the note, which showed that he held a very high position in his father's heart!
Rongchuan hooked his fingertips. It’s almost time. This is the message his father conveyed. He will soon return to the royal family.
The next day, at the morning court, the crown prince was not present, but several princes and Zhang Yang were there. Today's morning court was even quieter.
Everything was fine at first and some things were handled smoothly, but a yawn broke the peace.
The princes of Qi have been self-disciplined since childhood. Although they do not attend court, they will get up early to practice martial arts, so attending the morning court is really nothing. But Zhang Yang is different. He used to get up early to study, and later he became a prince. He also worked hard for his ambitions, but now he sleeps until he wakes up naturally. Isn't this a big yawn
The emperor cast a cold gaze on Zhang Yang, and Zhang Yang's heart sank. He knelt down and apologized, "I know I was wrong."
The disgust in the emperor's eyes was real. When his gaze fell on Zhang Yang's fat, he felt even more disgusted. "Do you know your fault? I don't think you know anything at all. Look at you now, a useless and useless person."
The King of Qi and the King of Chu knew the truth, but they didn't think much of it, because they were scolding outsiders after all.
However, when the King of Chu caught sight of the King of Liang out of the corner of his eye, he was stunned. Didn’t the King of Liang know about it? Why did the King of Liang look so calm? Did the King of Liang really not know
Zhang Yang wanted to put his hands on the ground, but he didn't dare. The two useless people made him angry. He was a useless man, without any offspring, and was just a pawn from the beginning. "Son, I know I am wrong."
The emperor narrowed his eyes. He wanted to say a lot of things, but he couldn't. Zhang Yang still represented the royal family. He didn't want to scold Zhang Yang and then scold himself. "From today on, you and I will lose weight. I don't want to see it."
The emperor got angry with the King of Chu again, "King of Chu, do you want to be with Old Five too?"
The King of Chu regretted it so much that he would not have looked at it more. "My son is not fat."
Emperor, "... ... Then let's lose weight together."
King Chu: "... ..."
No, did the emperor really listen to his reply? He is the thinnest among the brothers. Where can I lose weight
Zhou Shuren felt that this was just the beginning, and Zhang Yang's life would be extremely difficult in the future. Only the other princes, after all, were his biological sons, so they would be much less harsh on him.
The King of Qi and others did not think so. They were not lenient at all.
In the following two days, the emperor became much calmer, which made the ministers tremble with fear.
On the contrary, Rong Enqing suddenly gained the emperor's favor and was recruited into the palace. Rong Enqing was also appointed to the Maritime Affairs Bureau.
