Chapter 516: The two generals quarreled again

Eunuch Huang came in from outside the palace and saw the little emperor so happy. He couldn't help but worry and asked, "Your Majesty, the King of Zhennan wants to be granted a fiefdom. Would you like to tell the Duke of Huguo about it?"

Chu Jincheng paused and quickly shook his head.

"Need not."

The memorial rejecting King Zhennan had just been sent out. Even if King Zhennan wanted to ask the Duke of Protectorate for a reward, he would have to wait a month.

And my uncle at that time would definitely choose him.

King Zhennan's plan to obtain fiefdom will not succeed.

The Duke's Mansion.

As soon as Luo Jingfeng returned to the capital, he did not bother to talk to his wives, concubines, and children in the mansion. He just listened attentively to General Pang's detailed account of what had happened in the past year.

General Pang mumbled a lot, and finally said: "Oh, by the way, the King of Zhennan once submitted a memorial, saying that he wanted to grow mushrooms in several counties, but the emperor rejected it."

"Growing mushrooms?" Luo Jingfeng was also puzzled by King Zhennan's behavior and asked in confusion, "Why is he researching this?"

General Pang replied, "The King of Zhennan said that mushroom has a large yield and can be used as a food supplement. It is planted throughout Yunnan. The neighboring counties are very poor, but very suitable for growing mushrooms, so the King of Zhennan wants to expand there and plant more."

Luo Jingfeng narrowed his eyes, glanced at him and said, "It sounds like there's nothing wrong with it. Why did the emperor reject it?"

General Pang said aggrievedly, "I don't know who the emperor listened to. He thinks that the King of Zhennan wants to expand his fiefdom in the name of growing mushrooms, so he refuses to approve it."

"What nonsense!" Luo Jingfeng slammed the table and stood up, saying coldly, "Who told him such slander? Shen Qixian or Zong Zhao?"

General Pang shook his head like a wave drum: "I don't know either, but Duke, you must investigate it carefully. The emperor has been taught by these two assistants for more than a year. If they secretly sow discord between the emperor and the Luo family, it may be disadvantageous to us..."

Luo Jingfeng snorted and sneered: "How can they mess up the relationship between me and Cheng'er? Go and get the information about those counties. I will go to the palace to ask tomorrow. I want to see how the two of them instigated Cheng'er!"

"Yes!" General Pang went out with a happy look on his face.

The next day, after the morning court session.

Chu Jincheng was still so excited that he didn't even have the mind to catch his sleep. He took off his dragon robe, changed into casual clothes, and thought about where to go later.

Now he just wants to find an opportunity to be alone with his uncle so that they can develop a good relationship within this month.

After waiting for a while, Eunuch Huang came to report: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Protectorate cannot come. He is in the study with Prime Minister Shen and General Zong to review the memorials, but...but..."

"But what?" The little devil saw that he was about to cry, and thought to himself that something was wrong.

Eunuch Huang said in panic: "But they started quarreling..."

"What?!"

The little emperor ran out and went straight to Yu's study.

The person hasn't arrived yet.

But I could already hear the sound of argument inside.

Luo Feng's alarmed rebuke was deafening: "Zong Zhao, I kept you in the capital to protect the emperor, but you took the opportunity to sow discord between me and Cheng Er with Prime Minister Shen. What is your intention?!"

Zong Zhao said coldly, "The King of Zhennan wants to be granted land under the guise of growing mushrooms. Neither we nor the Emperor can approve it. Instead of questioning us, the Duke of the State should ask the King of Zhennan what he wants to do."

Luo Feng said in a shocked voice: "He just wants to grow some mushrooms, what can he do? If you hadn't lied to the emperor, how could the emperor suspect his own uncle?"

Zong Zhao said with a sullen face: "You know very well whether the King of Zhennan is simple-minded or not. Do you really think no one knows about the cruel things you two brothers did back then?"

The little emperor heard this as soon as he came in.

But it's not clear and I don't understand the meaning behind it.

Prime Minister Shen was so frightened that he wanted to cover his ears, feeling that he was about to hear a terrible secret in the next second and then face the situation of being silenced.

Seeing the little emperor at this moment was like seeing a savior, and he quickly greeted everyone with a loud voice: "Your Highness!"

The two generals, who were at loggerheads with each other, also saluted, but their faces looked grim.

Chu Jincheng sensed that something was wrong, and said to Prime Minister Shen and Eunuch Huang, "Both of you should leave first. I will talk to them."

"How did you know?" Luo Jingfeng looked very unhappy.

Looking at Zong Zhao's eyes, he seemed to want to eat someone.

The little devil was also asking: "What was the general talking about just now? What cruel things did the King of Zhennan and the Duke of Huguo do?"

When he heard the two men arguing, his heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect his uncle to come and inquire about the matter of King Zhennan so soon.

But what was that cruel thing that Dad just talked about?

He is more curious about this now!

Zong Zhao did not tell the truth directly, but gave Luo Jingfeng another chance: "Duke Huguo, the behavior of the King of Zhennan asking for the fiefdom is not in accordance with the rules and is not reasonable. Do you have any objections to the decision that the emperor does not approve of?"

Luo Jingfeng naturally understood the threat in his words. If he insisted on giving those counties to King Zhennan, Zong Zhao would reveal their secrets.

Luo Jingfeng raised his neck and said proudly: "Do you think I, Luo Jingfeng, would be afraid of threats? It's just patricide, a trivial matter, how can it compare to your heinous crime of regicide?"

This is the cruel thing that the two brothers of the Luo family did. They joined forces to send the King of Zhennan to hell. This is a heinous crime both morally and legally.

But at the same time, Zong Zhao's crime was not light either.

The king he killed was Jin Cheng's father.

Luo Jingfeng wanted to drag him into this trouble and make things difficult for everyone.

The little devil was completely stunned, his eyes were wide open, and his usually bright brain was stuck.

He just heard his uncle say...his two uncles teamed up to kill his grandfather?

It turns out that the King of Zhennan did not die in an accident!

Jin Cheng felt cold on his back, he also felt that his two uncles were very cruel. Although he had not yet met the King of Zhennan, based on Luo Jingfeng's description, as well as the incident of patricide... the little devil felt:

The King of Zhennan wanted to be granted a fiefdom, it is impossible that he only wanted to grow mushrooms, he had other intentions!

The little devil's eyes rolled around. He pretended to be calm and considerate, and stepped forward to mediate: "Alright, alright, uncle, dad, stop arguing. Can we cancel each other out? I'll pardon you all. Stop attacking each other. It hurts our feelings."

"Oh." Luo Jingfeng taunted Zong Zhao, "Do you think you can threaten anyone by finding a small flaw in me? Cheng'er is my nephew, not your son!"

Zong Zhao said in a cold voice: "I hope the Duke of the Protectorate can correct his status and stop doing things that would embarrass the Emperor."

Luo Jingfeng said arrogantly: "Mind your own business."

Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, the little devil quickly grabbed his uncle's arm with one hand, winked at Zong Zhao and said, "Dad, you go back home first. I want to talk to my uncle alone."

Zong Zhao glanced at Luo Jingfeng with concern, then replied, "Okay, call me if you have anything else."

"Uh-huh!"
