Chapter 236 Emperor Liang Presses Forward
In fact, the arrangement made by the Minister of Rites was correct. Emperor Liang could only swallow his anger and began to think about how to move the dowry from Queen Pearl's warehouse back to his own private warehouse.
At this moment, the eldest prince Liang Hongxian walked into the Qinzheng Palace. His face was not good, but he still forced a smile and congratulated Emperor Liang, saying, "Congratulations, father! Our Dongsui Kingdom has gained another ally!"
Emperor Liang couldn't hide his delight on his face, and said, "Good boy, I thought you would be angry with your father! Tell me, what brings you here?"
The eldest prince Liang Hongxian took a deep breath. If the princess of Yumu Kingdom had not come at such an inappropriate time, he would have wanted to go to the palace to ask his father to send troops to avenge his grandfather!
I wonder if this Fish-Eye Country is colluding with Liang Jingyao? Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?
"Father, my grandfather died so tragically. I really can't swallow this. Please help me! I want to avenge my grandfather!" Liang Hongxian knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes.
Emperor Liang looked at his son lying on the ground for a long time. Liang Hongxian was now his only prince, and he could not let him risk rushing to the front line. He would never let Liang Jingyao go, so the day Liang Jingyao died could be regarded as revenge for Liang Baihao!
"Hongxian, you are a good boy, and your father is very pleased! But your life is too important, and it is related to the future of Dongsui Kingdom, so I will arrange other people to take care of the revenge!" Emperor Liang showed a kind and firm look on his face.
If so many things hadn't happened, Liang Hongxian would really believe that his father was a good father!
He asked cautiously, "Liang Jingyao is young and strong, and he has fought on the battlefield for many years. Who does your Majesty plan to send to attack Yangming Town this time?"
Emperor Liang narrowed his eyes dangerously, and with a forced smile, he asked, "Why? Do you doubt my ability? Or do you really think you can beat Liang Jingyao? I advise you not to act so bravely!"
Seeing the Emperor Liang's slight anger, Liang Hongxian quickly explained, "No, Princess Pearl must have had a lot of difficulty adapting to marrying far away in Dongsui. Your Majesty should spend more time with Princess Pearl. I just want to share your worries!"
Emperor Liang snorted coldly and said, "Don't worry about my affairs! I've already decided on the candidate, and you'll know on the day I go to war! As a prince, you should study hard and stay out of the affairs of the court and the harem!"
Liang Hongxian was indignant. Even though his father spoke so nicely, it was clear that he did not trust him!
But he is still just a prince, not even a crown prince!
For the sake of his own future, Liang Hongxian could only bow his head and admit his mistake again: "Your Majesty, I know I am wrong, please forgive me!"
Emperor Liang was in no mood to talk to Liang Hongxian anymore. He waved his hand and said, "Go away. I'm tired!"
Liang Hongxian kowtowed three times on the ground and said, "I'll take my leave!"
Then he left respectfully.
After Liang Hongxian left, Emperor Liang wanted to send for Grand Tutor Zhao again. However, he remembered that Grand Tutor Zhao claimed to be ill in bed, so he stood up and said, "Come here! Go to the Grand Tutor's residence!"
Grand Tutor's Mansion.
In fact, Grand Tutor Zhao was not sick. He pretended to be sick because Emperor Liang stole his tiger talisman!
From fully supporting Emperor Liang's ascension to the throne to stabilizing the court later, now that I am old, can Emperor Liang bully me, a loyal old minister?
Emperor Liang is so heartless!
Grand Tutor Zhao cursed Emperor Liang in his heart almost every day for being ungrateful and heartless!
Suddenly, the eunuch's shrill voice rang out from the Hexuan Courtyard of the Grand Tutor's Mansion, "The Emperor has arrived!"
Master Zhao quickly lay back on his bed and took a pill to pretend he was sick. He suddenly became pale and weak, his eyes dull.
"Emperor, the Emperor is here? I, an old minister, am incompetent. I hope the Emperor can forgive my sins!" Grand Tutor Zhao looked towards the door and said weakly.
The first thing Emperor Liang saw was an old man lying on the bed, his skinny hand drooping on the side of the bed, as lifeless as a dead branch!
"Grand Tutor Zhao, why have you become like this? Which imperial physician came to take care of you? Did I give you the monthly salary and wasted it? Come, give the imperial physician fifty lashes! Deduct his salary for five years!" Emperor Liang roared in feigned anger.
Doctor Zhong, who came to take care of Grand Tutor Zhao, had a close relationship with him. He volunteered to take care of Grand Tutor Zhao in order to protect him!
So at this time, Grand Tutor Zhao couldn't just stand by and watch. He shouted with all his might, "Wait! Your Majesty, I'm over sixty years old this year, which is a long life! If it weren't for your grace, I might not have lived this long! So this is not the fault of Imperial Physician Zhong. He's already doing his best to treat me."
Emperor Liang stepped forward, grasped Grand Tutor Zhao's wrist, and said, "Grand Tutor Zhao, you are too soft-hearted! That's why the imperial physician won't treat you with all his heart. If I give you fifty smacks, Grand Tutor Zhong will naturally know how to prescribe medicine for you!"
Grand Tutor Zhao felt like his wrist was about to break. Emperor Liang must have used a lot of strength. He was testing himself!
But I am not a pushover! Normally, if I were to be beaten with fifty sticks, even a good person would be killed. However, I have a special kind of stick in my house that can help me get away with it!
Grand Tutor Zhao shook his head and said gratefully, "Thank you, Your Majesty! However, I am old and frail. Although I don't recite scriptures and chant Buddha's name every day like an old woman, I insist on eating vegetarian meals and inviting enlightened monks to lecture on Buddhist scriptures. Therefore, over the years, I have tried my best to maintain a kind heart. It is my blessing to live for many years. I will not blame anyone!"
Emperor Liang withdrew his hand, stood up and said, "In that case, I will be the villain!"
Zhao Taishi was almost gritting his teeth. How could the emperor take his anger out on others for no reason? Besides, he had already obtained the military token, what else did he want to take from him?
"Your Majesty, please don't have any thoughts of killing me. This old minister is trying to persuade you with all his heart for your own good! Doctor Zhong has the entire Zhongshan Academy behind him. How many students in the world come from there? There are also many capable ministers in the court who are students of Zhongshan Academy! Keeping Doctor Zhong can show that Your Majesty values Zhongshan Academy! I hope Your Majesty will show mercy!" Grand Tutor Zhao almost didn't have time to breathe before he listed all the pros and cons in one breath!
Emperor Liang stopped and looked at Grand Tutor Zhao. A look of sudden enlightenment crossed his face. "I had forgotten. It really is Grand Tutor Zhao! But I saw that Grand Tutor Zhao was speaking with such vigor just now that he didn't sound like a dying patient. Grand Tutor Zhao, how long are you going to pretend? Do you really think I'm as dumb as a pig and can be toyed with by you?"
Zhao Taishi's heart was pounding, his rationality constantly fighting against his panic. Did he let something slip out of his nervousness? But the drug wasn't working yet!
Emperor Liang must have done it on purpose! But what is his real purpose?
