The emperor narrowed his eyes and said, "Since it was the people from the Beijing Defense Camp who threw dirty water on you, I will naturally take care of it for you. You are not a fool, how could you do such a thing?"
Yan Fan: “…”
The more I hear this, the more awkward it becomes.
As the emperor spoke, he shifted his gaze to Lin Shan, but his words were directed to Yan Fan.
"These people are throwing dirty water on King Liang. How does King Liang think he should deal with them?"
Yan Fan, who had previously thought that the emperor had called him here to punish him, suddenly realized that the emperor had not called him here to punish him, but wanted him to personally deal with the Beijing Defense Camp.
Once the news of how I dealt with the Beijing Defense Camp gets out, those who didn't go to the Marquis' Mansion with Lin Shan to cause trouble will never be on the same boat with me again.
Although the emperor did not punish him, he shattered his last remaining hope.
Yes, hasn’t the emperor been like this all these years?
His power was being taken back bit by bit, and I was afraid that the next step would be to look for his own faults and make the Yan family cease to exist, just like the Prince of Yueqing.
"The people of the Beijing Defense Camp are soldiers. I believe they should be dealt with according to military regulations."
Yan Fan collected his thoughts, suppressed the heartache, and said respectfully.
[Tsk tsk, he appears so respectful, but his heart is probably bleeding. This isn't just dealing with the Beijing Defense Battalion, it's clearly Yan Fan's last ray of hope.]
"Alright," the Emperor said with a delighted smile, "Let's do as Prince Liang says. These people are throwing mud at Prince Liang, so why don't you just stand by and watch the Ministry of War punish them?"
Yan Fan didn't dare to say no, and quickly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for taking the initiative. I will definitely keep a close eye on it and live up to Your Majesty's kindness."
The emperor nodded and looked at Jin Ting'an, "General Jin, you and Prince Liang will watch from the side."
Lin Shan kept shaking his head and looked at Yan Fan. Yan Fan ignored him and ordered his men to escort the men out.
Because several people had their mouths blocked, Yu Yiluo could only hear the sound of sticks hitting each other in the room.
After the commotion outside had completely died down, Prince Liang and Jin Ting'an walked in.
"Your Majesty, the punishment has ended. Several people did not make it."
There was a barely perceptible tremor in Yan Fan's voice when he said this, and upon closer inspection, his eyes were slightly red.
It wasn't because he felt sorry for Lin Shan, but because he was angry.
If that useless son hadn't caused such a scene, how could the emperor have found fault and punished the Beijing Defense Camp.
"Okay," the emperor looked at Yan Fan as if he had thought of something, "Prince Liang, your daughter is twenty years old this year, right?"
I thought the tyrant had forgotten this, but I didn't expect him to remember it so clearly. Perhaps he's tired of the flowers in the palace and wants to try something outside.
[You said you loved government affairs the most, so why are you suddenly obsessed with Yan Fan's daughter? ]
[What a pity, Yan Fan's daughter can't enter the palace.]
Can’t enter the palace?
That's just perfect.
The emperor hadn't even raised his lips when he heard Yu Yiluo speak again.
[However, Yan Fan will definitely find a good daughter to send to the palace to serve the tyrant well.]
emperor:"……"
Hearing Yu Yiluo deliberately emphasize the three words "good daughter", the emperor subconsciously felt that it must not be a good thing.
"Yes," Yan Fan couldn't guess whether the emperor said this to let him send his daughter into the palace or not.
"In that case, pick a day to send him to the palace."
Yan Fan was stunned, and his original idea of sending his daughter into the palace was suppressed.
The emperor suddenly asked his daughter to enter the palace. Could it be that he wanted to find fault with her so that he could completely eradicate the Yan family?
Seeing Yan Fan's hesitation, the emperor raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Why, King Liang can't bear to part with his daughter?"
[It turns out the tyrant said this on purpose to make King Liang think too much and decide not to send his daughter to the palace.]
[It's a good plan, but it's not a long-term solution. After all, if you take a chance, the bicycle can become a motorcycle. King Liang may not give it to you now, but he will definitely give it to you in the future.]
"It is her blessing to be able to enter the palace to serve the emperor, but she is ill."
Yan Fan found an excuse to decline, thinking that he would make some careful plans after returning home before sending the person to the palace.
"Are you sick? Then wait until you recover."
The emperor said this and waited until everything outside was cleaned up before taking Yu Yiluo and Jin Ting'an back to the palace.
…
After returning to the imperial study, the emperor ordered Eunuch Cao to go to the Beijing Defense Camp to convey his oral instructions.
Wait for Eunuch Cao to go out and look at Jin Ting'an.
"Have all the arrangements for the mine in Yueqing been completed?"
"Your Majesty, I have made all the necessary arrangements. The Yueqing prefect is a reliable person, and I have retained a trusted confidant to oversee the collection and refining of the minerals with him."
"I trust you, my friend."
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wishes to see you."
A guard came in and interrupted their conversation.
The prince walked in and saw Jin Ting'an, nodded slightly, and then saluted the emperor.
"No need to be so polite, but was the person who instigated the people silenced?"
"That's right," the prince said gently.
"There's no need to delve into this matter any further."
No matter how deep the investigation goes, nothing can be found. It is nothing more than Yan Fan's son being too clever and letting the people from the Beijing Defense Camp jump out in advance.
Now that Yan Fan has returned, he will definitely keep a close eye on his son. Since Yan Fan cannot be defeated, there is no need to investigate further.
The prince understood the logic and nodded in agreement.
"General Jin, you've worked hard. Go back and rest first."
Jin Ting'an glanced at Yu Yiluo and left the imperial study.
He felt regretful that if he had known he could meet Luo'er, he would not have given the gold pendant to Luo'er to the prince.
"Father, I heard that Concubine Shu has returned."
The emperor sneered, "I know that after setting up such a scheme, I have to come back to inspect the results. This time, I can eliminate the Beijing Defense Camp, and I really have to thank her."
[Thanks to Concubine Shu's assistance, we successfully took down the Jing Defense Battalion.]
[Hey, didn't my uncle give the Crown Prince some gold? Why didn't he give it to me? Did he forget?]
The prince was a little amused and helpless. It was already summer and he had been running around outside, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.
The first thing she did after returning to the palace was to take a bath and change clothes to see her father. However, she actually forgot the gold pendant in the clothes she changed.
"Father, General Jin gave me something to pass on to Luo'er. I'm going to get it now."
"My brother, the Crown Prince, has truly forgotten. I knew it! His East Palace is filled with luxurious treasures. How could he possibly take my tiny piece of gold for himself?"
emperor:"……"
The prince: “…”
"Go get it."
The prince left the imperial study and went straight to the East Palace.
Nanny Chang was packing the prince's clothes and was surprised to see him return. "Your Highness, you're back so soon. Master Li is waiting for you in the side hall."
"Mammy, just tell others to do these things."
"I am worried about letting others into your house."
Nanny Chang took out a gold pendant as she spoke.
"This fell out of His Highness's clothes. It's for the little princess, right?"
Above is the little princess's zodiac sign.
"It was given to Luo'er by General Jin."
After the prince finished speaking, he went to the side hall. Li Yunhe, wearing a light blue brocade robe, was sitting by the window, reading a book seriously.
Hearing footsteps, he closed the book and stood up.
