Chapter 1181 Holy Favor
At the morning court, the emperor confined the crown prince and got angry. The news spread quickly. Everyone was waiting for the emperor to abdicate, but his sudden change caught them off guard.
Ministry of Revenue, Xiao Qing, the Minister, is almost becoming the mascot of the Ministry of Revenue. This is really not Zhou Shuren's attempt to gain power, but Xiao Qing's attempt to lose power to him.
Xiao Qing came back without saying anything, just looked at Zhou Shuren.
Zhou Shuren, ".......Sir, you are looking at me like this, have I done anything wrong?"
Xiao Qing touched the teacup, "No, you did a good job."
"Then your Excellency, do you want me to rest for a few days?"
Xiao Qing, "......You think too much."
Zhou Shuren said "oh". He knew what Xiao Qing felt, but he couldn't say it!
Seeing that Zhou Shuren still had the energy to bargain and joke with him, Xiao Qing felt relieved. He guessed that the Emperor was going to do something today. He was really afraid that it would end badly. He really only wanted the prince to ascend the throne.
Another quarter of an hour passed, and Zhou Shuren couldn't do it any longer. "Sir, I still have work to do. What do you think?"
"You go back to your work."
In Prince Qi's mansion, Prince Qi sent away the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict, and with a pale face, he went straight to the main courtyard where the princess was. When he came in, he saw the princess sitting in a rocking chair listening to music. When he took a quick look, Prince Qi felt a little stomachache.
King Qi frowned, "The princess has a bad temper."
The maid playing the piano was a rare beauty. Looking more closely, some of the maids in the princess's courtyard were very good-looking. In the past, the princess was very wary of him, so the maids around her did not look very good.
Princess Qi is very carefree now. How can she not be? Her family is well-off, she has money and property, and two legitimate sons. She doesn't have to spend all her energy scheming, nor does she have to keep an eye on Prince Qi. As long as no one is brought into the palace to dislike her, she is happy to live her own life.
Princess Qi raised her eyelids and said, "Oh, I haven't seen you for a long time. Why do you look so haggard? Look at what I'm saying. You should take it easy. There are many beauties. If your health is gone, then it's really over."
Prince Qi choked on a mouthful of blood. The princess knew what happened yesterday. "Father has ordered that the second son and I attend the morning court tomorrow. Father got angry at the crown prince during the morning court today."
Princess Qi put away her thorns and her eyes became more serious. "Father, you shouldn't be angry with the crown prince. He is the apple of your eye, the treasure of your eye."
She won't argue anymore, she has finally understood that people's hearts are biased. Her father favors the legitimate son and the Empress Dowager, and they have already determined that the Crown Prince will succeed to the throne, so she suddenly becomes angry and thinks something is wrong!
The King of Qi did not want to see any beauties now, so he motioned for everyone to leave, "You go to the palace to see my mother, and then let my mother take you to the palace to pay respects to the Queen Mother."
The emperor's face turned pale and he was very uneasy. As for fighting for it, he didn't have the slightest thought. He let go of it quickly. The power in his hands didn't cause any trouble. Without grandpa's support, forget it.
But the other brothers were silent. The third brother was suppressed by the prince, and the fourth brother is now the prince's knife. In comparison, the other two are the ones who are really miserable.
Princess Qi lay back down again, "No."
Go to hell, just stay in bed now. Anyway, she is not the one attending the morning court tomorrow, so what does being punished or scolded have to do with her?
King Qi was annoyed, "This is not the time to lose your temper."
"Goodbye, I won't see you off."
Whenever I think of her, bah!
At Zhou's residence, Xue Han came back holding Lin Xi. Zhu Lan looked at her and asked, "What do you want to ask?"
This is because Shu Ren was with the emperor at the morning court yesterday, so he came to inquire about the news.
Xue Han put the girl down and spread her hands. "It's not that the girl wanted to come back to ask, sister-in-law, I went to the Marquis' Mansion to look for me, and my father-in-law also asked me to come back, so I came back with the child."
She knew very well in her heart that if anything really happened, her parents would definitely send a message to her and Rongchuan. Since they didn't send a message yesterday, she didn't need to worry.
Zhulan, "Actually, the Ning family can go ask the prince."
"Mother, we sent someone, but the Prince's Mansion was tightly closed. No one came to see us, and the door was not opened."
Zhulan, "I guess there will be a lot of people coming to me to ask questions."
Xue Han saw that her mother didn't say anything and smiled. She didn't even need to ask. Her mother's silence was the best answer. "They are all afraid."
Zhulan expressed her understanding, "Just live your life down to earth."
As for Rongchuan, he was also anxious, but after someone handed him a note, Rongchuan calmly burned the note. He was still a little shocked in his heart. His father personally gave him the note, which showed that he held a very high position in his father's heart!
Rongchuan hooked his fingertips. It would be almost there. This was the news his father had conveyed. He would soon be returning to the royal family.
The next day, at the morning court, the crown prince was not present, but several princes and Zhang Yang were there. Today's morning court was even quieter.
Everything was fine at first, and some things were handled smoothly, but a yawn broke the peace.
The princes of Qi have been self-disciplined since childhood. Even though they do not attend court, they will get up early to practice martial arts, so attending the morning court is really nothing. But Zhang Yang is different. He used to get up early to study, and later he became a prince. He also worked hard for his ambitions, but now he sleeps until he wakes up naturally. Isn't this a big yawn?
The emperor cast a cold gaze on Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang's heart sank and he knelt down to plead guilty. "I know I was wrong."
The disgust in the emperor's eyes was real. When his gaze fell on Zhang Yang's fat, he felt even more disgusted. "Do you know your fault? I think you don't know anything at all. Look at you now, a useless and useless person."
The King of Qi and the King of Chu knew the truth, but they didn't think much of it, because they were scolding outsiders after all.
However, when the King of Chu saw the King of Liang out of the corner of his eye, he was stunned. Didn’t the King of Liang know about it? Why did the King of Liang look so calm? Did the King of Liang really not know?
Zhang Yang wanted to touch the ground with his hands, but he didn't dare. The two useless people made him angry. He was a useless person. He had no descendants and was just a pawn from the beginning. "Your son, I admit my mistake."
The emperor narrowed his eyes. He wanted to say a lot of harsh words, but he couldn't. Zhang Yang represented the royal family. He didn't want to scold Zhang Yang and then scold himself. "From today on, you and I will lose weight. I don't want to see it."
The emperor got angry at the King of Chu again, "King of Chu, do you want to be with Lao Wu too?"
The King of Chu regretted it so much that he would not have looked at it more. "My son is not fat."
Your Majesty, "...then let's lose weight together."
King Chu, "......."
No, did the emperor really listen to his reply? He is the thinnest among the brothers. How can he lose weight?
Zhou Shuren felt that this was just the beginning, and Zhang Yang's life would be extremely difficult in the future. Only the other princes, after all, were his biological sons, so they would be much more lenient with him.
King Qi and others don't think so. They are not lenient at all.
In the following two days, the emperor calmed down a lot, which made the ministers tremble with fear.
On the contrary, Rong Enqing suddenly gained the emperor's favor and was recruited into the palace. He was also appointed to the Maritime Affairs Bureau.
