Chapter 1608: Luck
When the emperor returned to the queen's palace, he took off his robe immediately because of the heat. Aunt Shang brought the emperor a plate of cold melon that had been taken out of the ice basin for more than two quarters of an hour.
The emperor felt around and found that the cold was almost gone, so he sighed inwardly while eating.
Ever since he was sick, he could no longer eat anything fresh out of the ice basin. They even waited until the cheese was completely melted before giving it to him.
Of course, he didn't really dare to eat like that. He almost died last time.
When the emperor finished eating the melon, the queen wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and asked, "I heard there's been another quarrel up ahead?"
The emperor said nonchalantly, "It's nothing. It was just a few kids being late for school and making a scene. The matter is over now."
How could the emperor not know that their sword dance was aimed at the prince?
It's just that there are too many things to do, and he doesn't care much about them anymore. There is still a long time to live, so he should live slowly. If he is really like the last emperor of the previous dynasty who is ambitious and wants to finish in three to five years what would take thirty to fifty years, or even three to five hundred years to accomplish, then the result will not be to change the world, but to change the person sitting on the throne.
How did the Li family come to the throne? The emperor who personally conquered half of the country knew best.
The Crown Prince also went to see the Crown Princess, touched her belly and then returned to the East Palace. He didn't take this matter too seriously.
Over the years, which of the criticisms he has received is not more serious than this?
They are battle-hardened people and can naturally remain calm, but a group of students in Chongwenguan who have never even left home cannot do that.
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang were fine. After all, they had experienced suing the King of Yizhou. After the initial atmosphere, it was time to eat and study. No matter how many ideas they had, they buried them in their hearts.
Yin Huo was not in a position to ask about it. This matter was said to be related to him, but it had nothing to do with him. His father's position meant that he could not get too involved in such disputes.
So when the classmates were indignant, the three of them were sitting in the attic with Manbao eating melons. The few people who had been exhausted and thin in the past half month were now eating their favorite food without hiding their appetite.
It was not long since I had dinner, but now I have eaten some fruit after dinner and can even touch the snacks to eat.
Yin Huo has always had a small appetite, but when they took him there, he couldn't help but eat an extra piece of snack, and then he successfully filled himself up.
He was silent for a moment before getting up and strolling around the attic. As he walked, he said to the three of them, "I don't think this was done by Prince Gong. I've heard my father mention that troubled times are the most likely time to achieve great things. Of course, most normal people wouldn't wish for troubled times, but even when there isn't, it's possible to fish in troubled waters."
He said, "There are ministers in this world like Kong Jijiu, Lord Wei, and Li Shangshu who hope for peace in the world and harmony and benevolence in the royal family. There are also those who feel their ambitions are unfulfilled and who desire a king who can control them or who shares their political views."
Bai Shan and the other two were stunned and asked, "Did Lord Yin really say that?"
Lord Yin is really brave.
Yin Huo smiled sheepishly and said, "The first part was said by my father, and the second part was my own idea based on his opinion."
The reason why Yin Li told Yin Huo all this was to warn him that their family had always belonged to His Majesty, so even if he was studying in Chongwenguan, it would be best for him not to get involved in the disputes there.
Once you enter Chongwenguan, you will have no control over many things. You can't really stay out of trouble by not fighting or competing, because there will always be people and forces pushing you and forcing you to fight.
Yin Li told Yin Huo all this so that he could consider for himself whether he really wanted to enter Chongwenguan.
After careful consideration, Yin Huo still chose to come in. At that time, Yin Li told him, "I hope that after you come in, you will follow your heart and always keep the family in mind."
Yin Huo agreed at that time, and has temporarily achieved it now, but even he is a little uncertain about the future.
Because there are too many people surrounding him today, either openly or secretly.
But before he could make a choice, the incident broke out the next day.
Of course, it was not the prince who triggered this incident, nor was it Kong Jijiu. They thought that this matter was over.
Who knew that Zhao Liulang and the others couldn't stand this anger, so they secretly sent a message to their family. The next day, someone's father started to find fault with the censors, and someone's brother-in-law also chimed in, proving that someone had been drinking during work hours...
The court was instantly in chaos, with people making impeachments everywhere, which made the emperor so angry that he lost his temper.
The weather is so hot, wouldn't it be better for everyone to finish their affairs early and go home to spend the summer with an ice bucket?
Why do we have to quarrel over trivial matters? It wastes a lot of time, don’t you know?
Their quarrel actually benefited Manbao. After her apology letter was submitted to the Censorate, many censors were involved in the quarrel and had no time to deal with it. So it was passed around and finally reached the hands of Lord Tang.
Old Lord Tang unfolded it, intending only to glance at it, but he ended up laughing out loud and joyfully drew a circle around her, which was considered a pass.
Old Lord Tang added Zhou Man's name to the official document book and wrote a punishment recommendation to the Ministry of Personnel, which put an end to her case.
Official documents will first be delivered to the Menxia Province, and will only be sent to the Ministry of Personnel after they have reviewed and confirmed that there are no problems.
Unfortunately, the governor of the Ministry of Personnel was Wei Zhi. He did not want to argue in front of the emperor over such trivial matters today, so he did not go to the Daming Palace to start a fight, but handled official business in the imperial city.
Seeing the official document from the Censorate under a pile of memorials, he picked it up and took a look. When he saw Zhou Man's name and the opinions on how to deal with the case, he raised his eyebrows and simply added a stroke, then wrote a comment and asked someone to hand it over to the Ministry of Personnel.
After reading the memorial, the Ministry of Personnel had no objection to the punishment, so they handed it over and had an official deliver it to Zhou Man.
Manbao was in the Daming Palace at that time. After taking the pulse of the Crown Princess, she went to Prince Gong's palace, took his pulse, and encouraged him in a rather emotionless way. Then she excitedly took Mingda to the front hall to watch the ministers quarrel.
Changyu was not interested in this kind of thing. After hesitating for a while, she decided to take the palace maids and follow her third brother to the mountains to play.
Mingda also liked to go to the front hall. She liked to follow her father since she was a child, and she even urinated in the hall when she was a child.
Of course, she would not remember such things. It was her grandmother and mother who would occasionally bring up this matter, making it difficult for her to forget it.
The two of them quietly ran out of the hall and found a good shady spot under the window. They lay there and watched happily as the ministers inside were spitting, accusing each other and quarreling, their faces red and necks thick, almost about to fight.
See you at 4 p.m.
