Yan Junchu naturally felt his father's gaze, but he lowered his head slightly and did not raise his head to look at him. Google search reading
The King of Xiang, who was standing in the crowd, immediately lowered his eyes and kept silent when he saw this scene.
Although His Majesty was laughing, his laughter made people feel cold. The golden dragon on the dragon robe raised its head and roared, as if it could take off at any time and choose someone to devour.
"Prime Minister Wang, who did the commander of Zhangping Prefecture choose you to recommend?"
The court officials did not take the initiative to speak, and His Majesty began to call names.
Prime Minister Wang became the first unlucky person, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not him.
Prime Minister Wang stepped out of the line, sighed in his heart, but his face was calm. He looked up at His Majesty and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I think that in order to prevent such things from happening again in the future, the commander of Zhangping Prefecture should be selected from other guards. As long as he has no relationship with local officials and people, such things can be prevented from happening again."
The reason why Lu Qin dared to do this is because he has been in Zhangping Prefecture for many years and has been deeply rooted in the local area. This is how he can call the wind and rain and deceive his superiors and subordinates.
When Prime Minister Wang said this, the military secretary immediately seconded the proposal and secretly glanced at the Minister of War. He saw that their minister stared at the ground with his eyelids drooping, as if there was some treasure on the ground.
In this Lu Qin case, both the assistant ministers of the Ministry of War were implicated. The Minister of War Lu Mengliang was scolded by the emperor. It was his credit for not being dismissed that he had worked diligently for so many years, but he was imprisoned for this case. If there is anything in the future, His Majesty will not have any old feelings for him.
Lu Mengliang was also very angry at this time. He was not good at managing his subordinates and neglected his duties. How could he save face when his two assistant ministers did such a thing? It was simply embarrassing.
His Majesty was furious, so of course he, as the Minister, had to reduce his presence and try not to let His Majesty remember him. It would be fine after a while.
With Prime Minister Wang and the Military Affairs Department Secretary coming out one after another, the selection of the new commander of Zhangping Prefecture was slowly discussed.
Discussions were discussions, but in the end His Majesty decided to transfer Wu Guangchuan, the commander of Yunan, who had nothing to do with the person who proposed it.
It was just a lonely discussion.
"The state is responsible for the people, and the people are responsible for the army. If anyone who defends the country commits treason again, all those implicated will be punished severely and will not be tolerated. In the case of Lu Qin, his behavior is abominable and his crime should be punished. You should take this as a warning!" The emperor sat on the dragon throne and stared at the civil and military officials in the court.
"Your Majesty, calm down. We will obey your order."
The emperor's anger subsided a little after hearing this. The more he looked, the more upset he became. He then withdrew from the court.
When his majesty left, the prince followed him. When King Xiang saw him hesitate, he immediately chased after him.
"Big brother."
Yan Junchu stopped when he heard the voice of King Xiang, and looked at him sideways, "Ninth brother, is there something?"
King Xiang walked over quickly, showing an embarrassed smile on his face, "I have something to trouble you, big brother."
Yan Junchu smiled and said, "What is it?"
King Xiang looked at the prince's expression, which was always gentle and peaceful, and he could not see any thoughts. He hated this the most, you can't see what you want from the prince's eyes.
"Big brother, you know what happened in my house, right?" King Xiang said with a bitter smile.
Yan Junchu looked at the ministers coming out one after another and said, "This is not a good place to talk. Come with me."
King Xiang listened to this with a happy smile, "I knew that my elder brother would not ignore me. I am really troubled by this matter recently and don't know what to do."
Yan Junchu took him to Shaoyang Courtyard, and then said with a smile, "Ninth brother, sit down and talk."
Huang Zhuo had been guarding Shaoyang Courtyard. He was so happy to see the prince coming. He quickly brought people to serve tea and retreated to guard the door.
Lord Yang didn't come today. He was even busier after being promoted to a thousand households. Huang Zhuo felt that the possibility of him being able to serve the prince at any time was a little greater. He couldn't help feeling happy. Lord Yang's promotion was good, wonderful, and amazing.
King Xiang sighed first, then looked at his elder brother, "Brother, you knew about Fuyun's matter at the beginning. I can't be ungrateful for saving my life, but my mother is pressing me hard, I really don't know what to do. This time Fuyun had a miscarriage, and it will be difficult to get pregnant in the future. The imperial physician said that she might not have this blessing. I feel guilty and don't know how to face her."
The King Xiang looked distressed, really like a depressed and helpless person caught between his mother and the woman he loved.
Yan Junchu looked at him and said seriously, "This is your family affair after all. Even if I am your brother, I can't interfere too much. But you should have thought about this day when you insisted on taking Fuyun to the capital. In the final analysis, the grace of saving my life does not have to stay by my side to repay it."
The King Xiang's face froze, and then he said, "I just thought that the girl took care of me day and night. If I didn't bring her back, how could she get married?"
"There are not so many taboos in the countryside. Besides, I just took care of you and didn't do anything else." Yan Junchu frowned and said.
King Xiang coughed lightly and said, "Brother, it's useless to say all this now. What do you think I should do now?"
Yan Junchu said: "After all, Concubine Li is your biological mother. She has raised you for many years and she has done her best for you. If you really want to disobey Concubine Li for a woman, how will the whole court view you when this news comes out? You are just a woman, that's all." If Fu Yun is really doing it for your own good, why has he made Concubine Li angry and dissatisfied one after another? Have you never thought about this? "
King Xiang:......
Yan Junchu frowned even more when he said this, "You are about to marry a wife. Princess Xiang has not yet entered the house, but you have a concubine here to hit you. Who in the right family would promise their daughter to you? That's it. I have to marry you because of the marriage granted by my father. Is it possible that you still want Princess Xiang to live like a concubine? If that happens, I will beat you up without my father taking action!"
King Xiang:……,
Yan Junchu let out a long sigh, "Ninth brother, you have always been the most worry-free, why are you following your seventh brother's example now? According to my idea, you first let Fuyun go to Zhuangzi to live for a while, so that Concubine Li can calm down, at least Fu Yun needs to learn the rules and etiquette of a concubine. Although my father is always tolerant, if you really want to cause a scandal of family discord and make your father angry, you have to think clearly about the consequences. "
King Xiang:......
King Xiang failed to hear a good word from the prince, and even after searching for a long time, his face was dark when he left.
As soon as he left, Yang Jin jumped out of nowhere, looked at His Highness and said, "Are you going to keep an eye on me?"
As long as Prince Xiang sends Fuyun to Zhuangzi, they will continue to build momentum here. Concubine Li will not be able to accommodate her. His Majesty wants to marry several of his sons. She will not be able to go back unless Princess Xiang enters the palace. I don’t believe that Fuyun can still make any move. Neither.
"Don't worry, today Prince Xiang is just here to test." Yan Junchu sneered, "Let people release the news. My father wants to choose concubines for several princes, but no one wants to give the news about Princess Xiang to Concubine Li."
As soon as Yang Jin thought about it, he knew what His Highness meant. He wanted to put pressure on Concubine Li to deal with Fuyun, or at least drive him to Zhuangzi.
"Then your subordinates will expose the news that you suggested that King Xiang send Fuyun to Zhuangzi?" Yang Jin asked.
His Highness is so friendly to his brothers that he even goes to the trouble of taking care of his brother's family affairs. How can such a good deed not bring fame to His Highness?
His Highness also worked hard to allow King Xiang to marry a wife that he wanted. He must let people know about His Highness's brotherly kindness.
Yan Junchu chuckled, "You don't have to say it, let Huang Zhuo do it."
Huang Zhuo has been staying in the palace and doing things is more convenient than Yang Jin.
Yang Jin nodded, "Then let Aunt Fu know about this and let's see how she responds."
If Fuyun knew that he was going to Zhuangzi, he would definitely not remain indifferent.
Yan Junchu nodded and looked at Yang Jin, "You are still a Qianhu now, so you don't have to do these things yourself."
Yang Jin:......
Even if he was promoted to a thousand households, he was still His Highness's pawn.
Yang Jin ran away with a smile, and Yan Junchu stood up and walked to Yuanhui Palace.
The queen was surprised to see the prince, so she hurriedly asked him to sit down, and said with a smile: "Why come here when you have time? You have a lot of errands to do now. You don't have to run to me all day long. Let your wife take care of you. Your health is the most important thing. "
The queen has now changed her stance and thoughts, and is quite pleased with the prince. At least the prince has always been respectful to her, even if it is just respect for face, it is enough.
She will be the Queen Mother in the future. As long as the new emperor respects her, this is not her own son, so what else can she be dissatisfied with.
"I have been busy with court affairs since I came back. My seventh brother asked me to bring you a message so that you don't have to worry about him." Yan Junchu said with a smile. Now the queen gets along well with his wife, and their stance is biased towards the East Palace, which is very important to him. It's a good thing for him, and he is a little closer to the queen than before. "Today in the court, my father has decided on the candidate for the commander of Zhangping Mansion. Soon the governor of Zhangping will also be appointed, and the seventh brother will be able to come back." ”
The Queen was really happy when she heard this, "He didn't cause any trouble for you when he went out this time, right?"
"Seventh brother did a good job this time. He also took care of Zhangping Mansion's affairs temporarily. This is also a training for seventh brother and will be good for him in the future."
After hearing this, the queen was completely relieved. The prince had already trained her son, and she would definitely be able to use him in the future.
Feeling that her contribution to the East Palace during these days was not in vain, the queen was satisfied and looked at the prince and said: "Everything is fine here, you don't have to worry, go back and rest early."
Yan Junchu stood up and said goodbye. Before leaving, he looked at the queen and said softly: "You just have to listen to your father about the You family."
The prince strode away, but the queen was stunned.
Do you listen to His Majesty?
What does your majesty mean?
The queen looked at the prince's back and let out a long sigh in her heart. It was a pity that the late queen, who had been dead for so many years, was still being stepped on by her mother-in-law to gain wealth.
If the Pei family and the You family were smarter and had a closer relationship with the prince, would they still resort to such crooked ways?
It's a pity that after the death of the late queen, the Pei family became short-sighted and only thought about profit. They didn't like the young prince at that time. They thought that your majesty would depose the prince sooner or later, so they didn't give much help to this nephew.
In the early years, I had no intention, but now I want to hug my daughter again and send my daughter to the East Palace to ease the relationship, but the prince pushes her back. Seeing that there is no benefit, I jumped over the wall in a hurry.
The queen now hugged the prince to her territory and regarded him as her own for the time being. Thinking of this, she felt that the prince was very pitiful.
The queen called Aunt Zhao over, "I remember that Queen Xian's warehouse has been sealed, right?"
Madam Zhao nodded and whispered, "My lady, what do you want to do? This is the stuff of the virtuous queen, and His Majesty has been keeping it."
The queen snorted in her heart. The emperor is keeping it. Isn't it possible that the daughter of the You family will enter the palace, and she is also the aunt and nephew of the late queen. What if His Majesty is old and dim-sighted, and loses his chastity in old age, and gives the things of the late queen to his niece instead of the prince?
No, the things of the late queen are the things of the prince. Now the prince and the others are in the same boat. From another perspective, they are her things. How can her things be given to someone with bad intentions?
"Go to the Purple Palace and say that I want to see His Majesty, and see if His Majesty is free to see me." The queen decided to strike first.
It's not easy to live in the harem. She used to be subsidized by her natal family. Of course, after she got a firm foothold, she turned around and subsidized her natal family. For example, Concubine Li was supported by the Li family, and Concubine Qi Xian and Concubine Ruan Ming also had their families to help, so life in the harem was easy.
Concubines also have monthly allowances, but that amount alone is not enough to fill the gaps between their teeth, so naturally they have to think of other ways.
For her, in addition to the monthly allowance of the queen, His Majesty has also rewarded her with many good things over the years, and there are also several imperial farms for her to spend.
She is now well-off and well-fed, and that is all her accumulation over the years.
If someone like You Xiangru, who has bad intentions, enters the palace, in addition to the money her family has to give her to spend in the palace, if she really wants to live a good life, I am afraid that her eyes will have to be on the things of the virtuous queen.
This is not okay.
She has been the queen for so many years, and she has never dared to hope to take the things of the former queen for herself, so she can't let others take them.
If it is said that the prince and the princess are young, they must not have thought about this matter, and they still have to rely on her.
Zhao Ma came back quickly, "Your Majesty asked you to go over."
The queen was shocked and changed her clothes at this time, and immediately went to the Purple Palace.
As soon as I entered the palace, I saw His Majesty sitting behind the imperial desk, with a gloomy face and not in a good mood.
Queen:...
I forgot to ask about His Majesty's face on a whim. Now that I wanted to do a favor, I ran into Nanshan.
Now that I'm here, the Queen can't back out.
"Your Majesty, I greet you." The Queen smiled and stepped forward to salute.
"Get up, Queen, what's the matter with you seeing me at this time?" The Emperor raised his head and stared at the Queen and asked.
The queen smiled and said, "There is something I want to report to your majesty. I think the crown princess did a good job at this summer banquet."
The emperor didn't expect the queen to mention Su Xinyi. He looked at her and said, "You are the one who brought her up well. You did a good job on this matter."
The queen smiled even more happily, "With your majesty's words, I am willing to work hard. Now that I am getting older, I am really overwhelmed by the daily palace affairs. You asked the crown princess to help me. I know that your majesty is thinking about me, and I am really happy."
Emperor:...
He thought the queen might be a little unhappy, but whether the queen was happy or not, he didn't intend to take back his order. But now seeing that the queen was very happy, the emperor had an indescribable feeling.
The queen was overwhelmed?
The queen was his successor, much younger than him, the emperor. If she said she was overwhelmed, what should he do as the emperor?
"I remember when I first entered the palace, you told me that the prince was young, so the things of the late queen should be kept with him first. Now the prince has married, and after this summer banquet, I think the princess consort is also capable, so I thought the things of the late queen should be given to them, so I came to ask your majesty."
The emperor was stunned for a moment, and couldn't remember this for a while.
After the queen said this, the emperor remembered that the things were sealed in the warehouse, and he couldn't ignore them all year round, so he gave the queen the key and account book of the warehouse, and asked her to clean it every year to prevent some things from being damaged due to improper storage.
Because the Queen was in charge of this matter, he really hadn't thought about it, so he looked at the Queen and said, "You've taken the trouble. You're right. This originally belonged to the Prince. Now that he has a family, give it to him."
The Queen immediately smiled and said, "Then I'll do this when I go back. Your Majesty is a kind father. When the Prince knows about this, he will definitely be grateful."
The Emperor couldn't help but laugh when the Queen said this, "Give him all the Prince's things. You don't have to worry. I'll keep Prince Rong's things for him."
The Queen said, "Your Majesty, I'm not worried. You give it to him. 's dignity, if you don't give it to him, let him make progress on his own. "
The emperor was happy, and looked at the queen and said: "You didn't think so before."
The queen blushed and said seriously: "I was narrow-minded at that time. In the past few years, I have seen you train several children and realized that your majesty is far-sighted. How can I, a woman, compare with you. Moreover, this time when Prince Rong went out to work, I heard from the prince that he performed well. As long as you are capable, there will always be stuttering. I am not worried at all now. "
Emperor:...
The queen left happily, and the emperor was a little melancholy.
When mentioning the late queen, the emperor couldn't help but think of the girl from the You family. His eyes sank again and again, and he smiled for a long time.
He is the emperor, and he can do whatever he wants.
The queen didn't know what the emperor was thinking after she left. After returning, she immediately asked someone to send the book of the late queen's warehouse to the East Palace, and then asked the prince and his wife to come and move the things back when they had time.
Su Xinyi had just heard the prince talk about the behavior of the King of Xiang today, and the two of them got the news about the queen while drinking tea. This is no different from a windfall.
Su Xinyi looked at the prince's expression and asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"
Yan Junchu sighed, "I thought these things..."
He thought he couldn't get them back.
Su Xinyi's eyes lit up, "Maybe it has something to do with You Xiangru. Come on, let's move the things back to the East Palace first."
Don't let others get away with it!
