Chapter 1180: I can show off my acting skills
Eunuch Liu hurriedly raised his head to look up, otherwise he would laugh out loud. Lord Zhou is really funny!
The emperor was stuck and forgot what to say next. He stared at Zhou Shuren who was kneeling and trembling. He rubbed his forehead with his hand and pulled his beard. Otherwise, he would have laughed.
When the King of Qi saw Lord Zhou kneeling, he could see how angry his father was with him and sweat was all over his forehead.
The emperor looked at the table and thought, yes, it was time to overturn the table. He raised his hand and the table was overturned, making a loud noise. For a moment, the whole restaurant was silent.
Zhou Shuren stole another glance at Prince Qi. Prince Qi's body was not good-looking, but fortunately he was sitting next to the Emperor. After he came to his senses, he understood why the Emperor asked him if he had finished eating. This was a scenario that he had been wanting to overturn the table for a long time.
Eunuch Liu also knelt down hurriedly and then lowered his head. Only by lowering his head could he hide the smile in his eyes.
The King of Qi was dumbfounded and frightened, "I admit my guilt, please calm down, father."
Rong Enqing's box also heard the noise and opened its door. Naturally, he heard what the King of Qi said. Rong Enqing frowned and asked, "Why is the Emperor angry?"
Gu Ren knew it in his heart. He was irritable and could not control his emotions. His eyes were full of excitement. "Ah, maybe the King of Qi made a mistake?"
Rong Enqing sympathized with Prince Qi and admired Lord Zhou. In the emperor's heart, Lord Zhou held a very high status, and the emperor didn't even need Lord Zhou's cooperation to cooperate.
The emperor snorted at this time, and then shouted, "Master Zhou, do you still want to stay?"
Zhou Shuren stood up quickly and said, "Your Majesty."
Before I could finish the next word, the emperor had already gone downstairs, and Zhou Shuren quickly went downstairs to catch up with him.
When they got on the carriage, the emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhou Shuren, "What do you think? I'll say someone paid the bill."
Zhou Shuren, "...I admire you."
The king of Qi was badly deceived by the plot of the play, and he must be very confused now.
The emperor fanned himself with a fan, "Prince Qi's mansion is also very noisy. Let him learn a lesson."
Zhou Shuren was surprised. It turned out that the emperor was also concerned about the conflict between his son and daughter-in-law. He smiled and said, "You are a good father. This time, the prince must have a shadow."
The emperor didn't understand, "What shadow?"
Zhou Shuren explained the shadow in his heart, and the emperor smiled, "That's right."
In the wine shop, the King of Qi stood up with a lingering fear, staggering a little. The beauty had already collapsed on the ground. The King of Qi didn't want to look at her anymore. "It's really not easy to go out. The third brother is really smart."
The shopkeeper stepped forward cautiously, "My Lord, what should we do now?"
The King of Qi was trying to calm himself down, "Clean it up."
In the evening, Zhou Shuren told his wife about today's drama, "This time, the Zhang family will completely fall into the trap set by the emperor."
Zhu Lan said faintly, "That's great. You can even compete with the Emperor in acting. How was it? Did you feel good acting with the Emperor?"
Zhou Shuren raised his eyebrows proudly, "It's amazing. The emperor's acting skills are not good, not as smooth as mine. I used my shaking hands, but the King of Qi believed it."
Zhulan, "I told you you're amazing and you're still panting."
Zhou Shuren chuckled, "Everything today is the emperor's full set. Just wait and see, there will be many opportunities to show off your acting skills in the future!"
More than that, the next morning, the emperor, who had not attended court for almost a year, attended court. His face was still waxy yellow, and his complexion was very bad. His eyes were very sharp, and he looked at the ministers below like a knife.
The prince stood silently and motionlessly by the side, his head looking at the ground, as if he didn't care about the morning court.
The emperor frowned and asked, "Why, are you surprised to see me?"
Zhou Shuren raised his head and then quickly lowered it. The emperor who was sitting on a high throne saw this action very clearly. He silently looked away, fearing that he would be led astray by Zhou Shuren, and kept his eyes on the prince. This was not good either, and the acting was not good.
The ministers in the court felt heavy in their hearts. What happened yesterday was no secret. The king was angry with Prince Qi, and Prince Qi returned to the palace with a pale face. They thought Prince Qi had angered the emperor, and now it seemed that the emperor was a little strange today.
Xiao Qing frowned and glanced at Zhou Shuren with his peripheral vision. Seeing Zhou Shuren's little movements, his heart suddenly relaxed. He was extremely grateful for Zhou Shuren's little movements. Now that he saw them, he had some idea in his mind. Yesterday's events were not simple. He remembered that Zhou Shuren and the emperor went out together.
The emperor stood up and asked, "Why, you don't recognize me? Or do you only know the prince and have completely forgotten me?"
At this time, everyone reacted very quickly. In an instant, a large group of people knelt down and said in unison, "I dare not. Long live the emperor."
The prince also knelt down, still trembling, and shouted, "I am terrified, please punish me, father."
Zhou Shuren lowered his head. The prince's acting skills were not good. The voice was not trembling enough.
The emperor's face darkened. "Okay, okay, I didn't see how frightened you were."
The prince raised his head and quickly bowed, "Father, I am your son."
"Shut up, the prince will be confined to the prince's residence for a month starting today."
The ministers in the court lowered their heads, some were terrified, but still pretended to be brave and said, "Your Majesty, you can't do that. The prince is right!"
Prince, "......"
Although he had always known that Lord Ye was upright, speaking now would only harm him. If he did not know that Lord Ye was devoted to the country, he would have suspected that he was taking advantage of his misfortune.
Zhou Shuren was silent. He had seen a lot and was used to it. In ancient times, many people died in the court.
The Emperor couldn't look away, staring at Lord Ye gloomily, "You mean, you don't need me now? Just the Crown Prince?"
Lord Ye was stunned, "No, that's not what I meant."
Li Zhao wanted to reach out and cover Lao Ye's mouth, but he told him to shut up. He didn't want to be buried as the stubborn old man on this same time next year!
The emperor looked at the court and touched the beads in his hand. Those who wanted to act accordingly shrank back, and those who wanted to speak could not act. Looking at Zhou Shuren, he could not act either. So he acted according to the trend and the crown prince went to arrange for the net to be closed. Zhou Shuren, who had replaced Xiao Qing, had to stabilize the Ministry of Revenue, which could not be in chaos.
The emperor looked around and curled his lips, "Tomorrow, the princes of Qi will go to court. If you don't want to go to court, you don't have to be the prince anymore."
It’s still my own son. Well, I have no responsibility if my own son has a seizure.
Zhou Shuren, "......."
The emperor just scanned him. He really didn't mind showing off his acting skills. He also wanted to be confined to his room. He didn't ask for a month, but half a month would be fine. It was such a pity. He looked up at the emperor.
emperor,"......."
Why does Zhou Shuren look like I can cooperate? Bah, wishful thinking, this old man just wants to be lazy.
The emperor moved his mouth. No, Zhou Shuren's position as Shangshu must be given to the crown prince. He glared at Zhou Shuren fiercely, then shook his sleeves and said, "Since there is nothing important, I will leave the court."
Zhou Shuren waited for the emperor to leave, then stood up, feeling regretful in his body and mind. He really could do it!
Prince, "......."
He really didn't want to watch the whole process secretly. His father was right. Zhou Shuren wanted to slack off whenever he got the chance. He couldn't give him the chance!
Zhou Shuren felt a chill on his back for no apparent reason. He raised his head and looked at the prince. Seeing the prince smiling at him, he fell silent. He didn't want to see the prince smile! !
