Zhou Shuren sighed as he drank his tea, "The blood-red plum blossoms should bloom in a few days."
Wang Ju didn't react at first, but soon he understood. His father had told him a lot about the court in the past few days. "It's a pity that it's not pretty."
Zhou Shuren's metaphor made him not want to appreciate the plum blossoms this year.
In the Ministry of Rites, Feng Huai had a gloomy face. Officials of the Feng family were reported one after another. This was premeditated. Although the emperor had not taken any action yet, he was very panicked because it was obvious that he was about to get the position of Minister of Personnel.
Wu Ming felt relaxed. Ever since the Feng family got into trouble, Feng Huai had no time to keep an eye on him. Now, just the appetizer was enough to make the Feng family anxious.
Gu Zhuomin was not at peace. No one was going to embarrass him, but he was afraid. "If something happens to the Feng family, will the Ministry of Rites be cleared out?"
He has just joined the Ministry of Rites. Will he be implicated or pushed out to take the blame
Wu Ming looked at Gu Zhuomin's blue eyes and asked, "How would I know if you ask me?"
Gu Zhuomin didn't believe it. He always felt that Wu Ming knew something, and a lot, but Wu Ming was too calm.
Wu Ming added, "You should be more careful in the next few days."
This is not really to scare Gu Zhuomin. If the Ministry of Rites is really cleaned up, it will be easy to be dragged into it.
Gu Zhuomin swallowed his saliva. He thought the Ministry of Rites was relatively stable among the six ministries, but he didn't expect this.
The next day, the snow in the capital stopped. The emperor looked at the memorials one by one, "Zhang Yang really did interfere. Look, he found things that I didn't even notice."
The prince knew that his father was not talking about Zhang Yang, but the forces behind Zhang Yang. "Are you going to take this opportunity to clean up some of them?"
The emperor didn't say anything. He was not ready to move. He was waiting for the fourth brother to counterattack.
After a cup of tea, the emperor finally spoke, "Let the fourth brother know about Zhang Yang's actions."
The prince's heart moved, "Yes."
The next day, Zhou Shuren arrived late for the morning court session. As he entered the hall, he paused. He saw that all the ministers were lowering their heads. He took a quick look and found that the emperor had not arrived.
It wasn't until I saw Prince Liang grabbing Zhang Yang by the collar that I understood. I understood.
King Liang wanted to chop Zhang Yang to death with a single blow. He had just found out yesterday that Zhang Yang had the longest arm, even the third brother, King Chu, could not match him. The third brother hated him so much. Unexpectedly, today's action was not the third brother's, but he was just adding insult to injury.
The King of Qi stared at Zhang Yang deeply. This shouldn't be the case. Zhang Yang has only been back to the royal family for a short time. He shouldn't have such great power. Now he can make the Fourth Prince furious, which shows that Zhang Yang has done a lot. Could it be that Zhang Yang is really the crown prince
The King of Qi quickly denied it. People's ambitions cannot be concealed, especially for princes like them. Even if they hide it well, they can feel it from each other. It is the intuition of the enemy.
The King of Chu took a step back and lowered his voice and said, "Before, I just thought that Old Five was stupid, but now I feel so creepy."
Should he be happy that it was fortunate that the fourth brother took action against the Qi family first
The Feng family has not been charged with any serious crime at the moment, but everyone knows that what’s to come is the highlight.
Zhang Yang's face was red and his neck was a little tight. He had indeed done a lot of things, and he did not expect that his people were so efficient. In just a few days, they obtained the evidence of the Feng family's crimes, all of which were punishable by death.
Zhang Yang tried his best to pry the fourth brother's hands apart, but unfortunately, King Liang was a skilled fighter, while Zhang Yang was just a weak scholar, so there was no way he could break free.
The King of Qi and the King of Chu were close by but they didn't even bother to rescue him. They hoped that the Fourth Brother would be too ruthless and die together with them.
The ministers were anxious. Seeing that the Fifth Prince was about to roll his eyes, the ministers made suggestions one after another. Feng Huai was so scared that his soul flew away and he hurried forward, "Your Highness Prince Liang, let go."
King Liang didn't really want to kill anyone, so he let go of his hand in disgust. Zhang Yang coughed. He really felt death just now. His throat was extremely painful and he couldn't utter a word.
Zhou Shuren was not tall, and he really wanted to stand on tiptoe to take a look, but it would be bad if he was too obvious about eating the melon. He did not think that King Liang was a reckless person. Seeing that Zhang Yang could not say a word, it seemed that he did not want Zhang Yang to speak today.
Zhou Shuren felt that the emperor not only came late today, but also came on the cusp of time. The emperor arrived just as the farce was over.
After the emperor sat down, he asked with concern, "Old Fifth, why are you covering your neck?"
Zhang Yang felt very uncomfortable. He opened his mouth but couldn't say a word, but he could point at the fourth brother with his hands, as if it was all the fourth brother's fault.
King Liang knelt down immediately, "Father, I am furious. I thought I was sincere to Old Five and taught him a lot. But how did Old Five treat me? First he staged and poisoned me, and now he is framing me. I am heartbroken, Father."
Zhou Shuren heard the crying and felt emotional. His impression of the Fourth Prince was always that he had great acting skills. Look at him, he started crying as soon as he said he would. His crying sounded extremely aggrieved.
Zhang Yang stared, how could he stage a scene of being poisoned? "Father, I didn't frame my fourth brother. I was really poisoned."
King Liang looked even more sad. "If you are really poisoned and it affects your offspring, how can my concubine get pregnant?"
Even though his throat hurt, Zhang Yang had to explain, "That's the detoxification."
King Liang said, "If you say it's poisoned, then it's poisoned. If you say it's fine, then it's fine. Father, you have to make the decision for your son."
Zhou Shuren was a little excited. This was a live version. It would have been even better if he could have a good seat to watch the show. It was a bit of a pity.
The King of Qi curled his lips. No matter whether Zhang Yang's concubine was really pregnant or not, the King of Liang wanted to prove that Zhang Yang directed and acted in the drama himself.
The King of Chu wanted to speak, but looked at Zhang Yang again and finally fell silent. Something had happened to the Feng family, and the Fourth Brother was no different from him, but Zhang Yang told him to be alert.
After the morning court session ended, Zhou Shuren watched Prince Liang beat Zhang Yang, and then the emperor acted as if he didn't know and didn't shout at anyone.
When he got home that night, Zhou Shuren vividly followed his wife's example, "The King of Qi and the King of Chu were not trying to stop the fight, they were secretly doing a lot of dirty tricks. The King of Qi stepped on Zhang Yang's leg. If Zhang Yang hadn't held his head with both hands, he would have stepped on his hand. The King of Chu was also cunning, kicking him secretly from time to time."
Zhulan: "... Is today so exciting?"
Zhou Shuren was very energetic. "Ah, it's very exciting. This is not an act. This is really evil. He has a dark heart and dark hands."
Zhulan looked at her husband's excitement and said, "Zhang Yang has aroused the vigilance of several princes."
"So no matter what you say, you have to do it step by step. If you want to achieve it in one go, tsk tsk!"
Zhu Lan chuckled, "That's enough, it's getting late, go to bed quickly, you still have to attend the morning court tomorrow!"
Zhou Shuren pursed his lips in displeasure, "I hate attending court in the morning in winter the most."
Especially since it’s still a cold winter this year!
In the Fifth Prince's Mansion, Zhang Yang was hit many times, mainly because of his shame. Today, King Liang embarrassed him twice in front of the ministers. He must avenge this vengeance. Then he threw away the pillow in anger, "Child, why is it so difficult to have a child? Didn't the poison have been detoxified? Why hasn't the child been born yet? If he hadn't thought of a way, his face became even darker when he thought of this."
