"Have you heard that at the Qunfang Garden poetry gathering last night, a young man wrote four excellent poems in less than two sticks of incense, eclipsing all the participants..."
"How come I haven't heard about it? I heard that Master Liu even scolded everyone for moaning without reason..."
"Yes, Mr. Liu was very enthusiastic and praised the Sixth Prince for going to Shuobei."
"Everyone has to die, some are heavier than a mountain, some are lighter than a feather. That young master Liu's words fully expressed the tragic and heroic journey of His Highness the Sixth Prince to Shuobei..."
"The present emperor is so wise and wise that there has never been anyone like him in ancient times..."
The next day, the entire imperial city was in chaos.
Everywhere in the streets and alleys, you can see groups of people gathering together, enthusiastically discussing what happened in Qunfangyuan last night.
Along with Yun Zheng's four poems, there also spread the news that the Sixth Prince was about to go to Shuobei and was willing to die to boost the morale of the troops.
Yun Zheng's move was also highly praised by people in the imperial city.
However, in the palace, Emperor Wen was furious.
...
...
"Check! Check for me!"
"Bring this bastard named Liu to me!"
Emperor Wen was furious and overturned the imperial desk to the ground.
That bastard was very enthusiastic in helping him and Lao Liu gain enough fame.
But what this bastard said was undoubtedly putting them father and son on the spot.
Now, people all over the city were praising them, father and son, praising the emperor's wisdom and bravery, and praising the sixth brother's heroic spirit.
In this case, if he does not allow Lao Liu to go to Shuobei, wouldn't he be ridiculed by the whole world? How would he stop people from talking about him then?
asshole!
This bastard!
The more Emperor Wen thought about it, the angrier he became, and he wished he could cut that bastard into pieces.
Just as Emperor Wen was furious, a palace guard came forward to report: "Your Majesty, Lord Zhang requests an audience."
Zhang Huai?
Emperor Wen frowned.
After thinking for a while, Emperor Wen tried to suppress his anger and said in a deep voice: "Announce!"
Soon, Zhang Huai was brought in.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty, I am guilty..."
As soon as Zhang Huai entered the door, he knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.
Zhang Huai's move completely confused Emperor Wen.
Zhang Huai has always been self-disciplined, what crime could he have committed?
"Please get up quickly, sir!"
Emperor Wen came to his senses and quickly had Zhang Huai helped up and gave him a seat.
However, Zhang Huai refused to sit down. He said with tears streaming down his face, "This old minister is so ashamed that I cannot sit down. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me!"
“…”
Emperor Wen was speechless and asked in confusion: "Sir, please tell me first, what crime have you committed? I am confused."
Zhang Huai said with shame on his face: "I am an old minister who failed to manage my family properly. I don't know how my unworthy grandson Zhang Xu got together with the Sixth Prince. That bastard took the Sixth Prince to study ** skills all day long and even took the Sixth Prince to a brothel, which was a disgrace to the royal dignity..."
"Is that all?"
Emperor Wen disagreed and said with a smile: "Zhang Xu took Lao Liu to the brothel, which is indeed not good. You can teach him a lesson later, and I will also admonish Lao Liu! As for the ** skills you mentioned, didn't you say a few days ago that as long as the ** skills are beneficial to the country and the people, they are all good?"
“This is different!”
Zhang Huai was filled with shame. "The tricks that bastard taught the Sixth Prince to study are all just playthings that will ruin his life! He is going to ruin the Sixth Prince!"
Is that so?
Emperor Wen thought for a moment, then said with a smile, "It is indeed not good to be distracted by playthings! In this way, I will call Old Six into the palace and give him a good scolding! You should stop getting angry with me, or you will get yourself hurt."
It’s not a big deal!
This old man is really making such a fuss over such a small matter.
I even thought he had done something that would anger God and man!
Just as Emperor Wen was personally helping Zhang Huai to sit down, Mu Shun hurried in. He was about to speak, but when he glanced at Zhang Huai beside him, he stopped talking.
Emperor Wen frowned, "If you have something to say, just say it, don't hesitate."
Mu Shun smiled apologetically and then said, "Your Majesty, the man who wrote poetry in Qunfang Garden last night seemed to know Zhang Xu, the grandson of Zhang Gelao."
"What?"
Emperor Wen's face changed.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Huai immediately sighed and said, "Your Majesty, I am guilty. That bastard Zhang Xu took the Sixth Prince to Qunfang Garden last night. That bastard even shamelessly called ten prostitutes to serve him..."
When Emperor Wen heard this, his face twitched violently.
And he called ten prostitutes?
This bastard, isn’t he afraid of dying in a woman’s belly?
Emperor Wen was silent for a moment, then immediately ordered Mu Shun: "Go, have someone ask Zhang Xu who that bastard who wrote the poem is!"
Mu Shun was about to accept the order when Zhang Huai asked in astonishment, "Your Majesty, don't you know who was the one who composed four excellent poems in the Garden of Flowers last night?"
"How would I know!"
Emperor Wen said angrily: "If I knew this, I would have that bastard brought into the palace and slapped him twice!"
"No need, no need..."
Zhang Huai waved his hands repeatedly, "Although the poems written by the Sixth Prince were all plagiarized from the wife of the Ye family, the Sixth Prince refuted those talented people in public and maintained the dignity of the emperor, which can be regarded as a commendable filial piety..."
Zhang Huai was still persuading the emperor, completely unaware that Emperor Wen's expression had become extremely ugly.
The Sixth Prince?
The bastard who wrote the poem is Lao Liu?
Is Lao Liu the bastard he was looking for?
Emperor Wen clenched his fists tightly and asked through gritted teeth, "Are you saying that the person who composed four excellent poems last night was Lao Liu?"
"Yes, it is the Sixth Prince."
Zhang Huai nodded slightly, but looked at Emperor Wen in confusion.
Even if the Sixth Prince plagiarized the poem of Madam Ye, there is no need for His Majesty to do this, right?
Could it be that His Majesty was angry because Zhang Xu and the Sixth Prince hired ten prostitutes?
Well, that's possible.
"Asshole! This asshole!"
Emperor Wen's rage suddenly erupted, and he shouted at Mu Shun with an angry face: "Go, call Lao Liu to the palace for me!"
"yes!"
Mu Shun was not Zhang Huai. He knew exactly what made Emperor Wen angry, so he quickly trotted out.
"stop!"
Suddenly, Emperor Wen called Mu Shun angrily again.
Mu Shun stopped hurriedly, turned around carefully, and waited for further instructions from Emperor Wen.
Emperor Wen was furious, but he tried hard to calm himself down.
After thinking silently for a while, Emperor Wen shook his head and said, "No need to ask Lao Liu to come to the palace! Send someone to inform Lao Liu and several princes that I will go to Nanyuan to hunt tomorrow, and ask them to all accompany me! In addition, ask Lao Liu to bring Chen Luoyan and Ye Zi with him!"
"yes!"
Mu Shun bowed and accepted the order, then retreated cautiously.
After Mu Shun left, Zhang Huai tried to comfort him, "Your Majesty, there is no need to be so angry. This old minister has made it clear that the Sixth Prince got drunk in Qunfang Garden last night. Although that bastard Zhang Xu called ten prostitutes, the Sixth Prince did nothing..."
Emperor Wen couldn't help but feel angry after listening to Zhang Huai's words.
Ten prostitutes?
He actually hoped that these two bastards would have fun with those ten prostitutes!
Why is he writing poetry for no reason?
It’s fine if he just writes poetry, but why did he say those words?
asshole!
This bastard!
After drinking a few drops of horse urine, he even forgot his own name!
