Chapter 130 Scooter
The Queen Mother was shocked: "Who dares to be so bold?"
Nanny Chang replied in a low voice: "It's...Eunuch Changxi."
She repeated everything Changxi had said in the hall.
The Queen Mother's eyes narrowed slightly, and her voice was icy cold: "I have always said that Yu'er was a very well-behaved child. It seems that he has become what he is today because of Changxi's instigation. It's my fault that I discovered it too late. This cunning slave should have been beaten to death at the beginning."
Nanny Chang advised, "Your Majesty, Changxi is the Emperor's confidant, and you must not touch him, lest the Emperor do something even more outrageous!"
The Queen Mother adjusted her armor, looked at the green smoke wafting from the incense burner in the distance, and said slowly:
"Someone has to clean up the mess of burning memorials for the Emperor. We'll see tomorrow. Those stubborn old men are not easy to deal with.
Go, spread the word about what happened in the Qinzheng Palace today. Those old guys in the Censorate are not easy to deal with! "
Nanny Chang said respectfully, "Yes."
In just half a day, the news that the emperor was furious and burned the memorials from the Censorate spread throughout the capital.
When Mr. Yan, the old official from the Censorate who was recuperating at home, learned about this, he was so angry that he almost fainted.
Like Lord Zhang, Lord Yan was also a veteran of three dynasties. The Emperor sympathized with his age and poor health and exempted him from the morning court.
You only need to come when there is something important, and you also have the right to see me at any time.
Old Master Yan was so angry that he couldn't eat. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the emperor's behavior was inappropriate and it also made the Censorate lose face.
With a gloomy face, he changed into court robes and decided to die for his remonstration. The treacherous ministers were ruining the country, and he would swear to protect Dayin with his life and not let the foundation be disrupted!
Old Master Yan's sons were so frightened that they hurried to stop him.
All the family members, young and old, came to persuade him, even his great-grandson hugged his thighs and cried, not wanting him to go.
Old Master Yan fainted after hearing the crying of the whole family, young and old.
Lord Yan's son was so frightened that he quickly went to call a doctor. In the afternoon of that day, news came out that Lord Yan of the Censorate was almost dying of anger because the emperor burned the memorials!
For a moment, all the ministers were outraged, and memorials poured into the Qinzheng Hall like snowflakes.
The emperor looked at the eunuchs and palace maids in the Qinzheng Hall with a dark face.
"Who spread the news of what happened in the temple that day?"
Seeing that they were silent, Rongyu turned around, pulled out the sword from the bookshelf, and strode forward:
"I'm asking again, who gave you the courage?"
The people kneeling on the ground were terrified and kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, it's really not this servant, it's really not this servant, please see clearly!"
"I beg Your Majesty to look into this matter. I am being wronged!"
"Even if Your Majesty gives me a hundred courages, I still wouldn't dare to do that!"
Rongyu's ears hurt from the noise.
He was a coward as an emperor. Whatever he wanted to do, before he even finished it, everyone knew about it.
Now the whole capital knows about it.
The ministers accused him of listening to treacherous officials and harming the country.
The Queen Mother told him implicitly to use Changxi to appease the public anger, and also instructed him to reward Rongye.
He was a ridiculous emperor and everyone wanted to control him.
He threw away the sword in his hand, walked step by step to the throne, looked at the frightened servants below, and suddenly felt bored.
"Get out of here!"
The servants who were kneeling and begging for mercy were frightened by Rongyu and ran away in all directions.
There were only him and Changxi in the Qinzheng Hall.
Changxi knelt down and cried, "Your Majesty, please hand me over. I'm tough and nothing will happen to me!"
Rong Yu stared blankly at the memorial on the desk:
"Changxi, I'm a useless emperor. I can't even protect you. If Rongye were the emperor, would things be different?"
Changxi was shocked: "Your Majesty, the Prince of Liang only knows how to fight wars, not how to govern a country!"
He cried, “I have been with you since childhood, watching you work day and night, but who can understand the emperor’s hardships?
This time it's all my fault. I instigated you, and I am willing to accept the punishment!"
Rongyu looked at Changxi, who had been by his side for more than ten years, and sighed: "Changxi, you are going to suffer this time."
Changxi looked at Rongyu with tears in his eyes: "For the sake of the emperor, this servant will not suffer!"
The next morning, Rongyu ordered that Changxi be whipped thirty times in front of all the officials as a punishment.
He also reluctantly praised Rong Ye for his contribution in this battle.
When Changxi was dragged away, he was covered in blood, which made everyone terrified.
The eunuchs and palace maids beside them were trembling with fear.
Even the emperor's confidants could be whipped, let alone them. After that, no one dared to make any mistakes while working for fear of being punished.
The chaos in the capital did not disturb Xie Shuangbai in Bincheng.
He was in a good mood today, and his wife's bakery business was so good that he couldn't believe it.
Some people even traveled thousands of miles from Huacheng to buy wife cakes, and Shopkeeper Wang was shocked when he found out.
Huacheng is in the southernmost part, but he ran all the way to the northernmost part to buy cakes. According to the young master, this is true love.
The reason was that their mistress loved to read storybooks. The story of wife cakes caught her attention, and she was able to find something to hold against the concubine and successfully save the family business.
In order to thank them, I came here from afar to support them.
The mistress was also very generous and directly topped up a thousand taels. Manager Wang was so happy that he couldn't even see.
Because the place was far away and they couldn't take the cakes back, Manager Wang gave them dozens of beauty soaps, two new children's balance cars and a pedal car.
The servant who came here didn't expect to get so many things.
The key point is this little car. They have never seen it before. It is worth spending a thousand taels to buy it. The mistress will definitely reward them when they go back.
Xiao Si, who was originally unhappy about being arranged to travel thousands of miles to the northern border to buy cakes, had his face wrinkled into chrysanthemums from smiling.
These two small cars were made by Xie Shuangbai because Rong Chi had to travel too far from his yard to his place every day, so he wanted to make a skateboard and a balance car for him to get around.
Xie Shuangbai asked the housekeeper and found out that the palace had its own carpenter.
The housekeeper quickly called Carpenter Tan, and Xie Shuangbai told him the appearance of the two cars and the key points of their production.
Carpenter Tan was indeed amazing. After just a few days of research, he had already made a sample that was almost the same as what Xie Shuangbai had described.
He also asked Rong Wu to write a letter to ask Manager Lin to ship back a few trucks of cement.
The housekeeper paved many of the dirt roads in the mansion with cement.
This way, not only will there be no dust, but there will also be no mud when it rains, and the car can also run on the concrete ground.
Now that Rong Chi has a car, he is nowhere to be found until meal time.
When the servants in the palace saw the young master playing with the car, they would secretly take a few glances.
They really had never seen such an interesting car.
Rong Chi was playing with cars again today. He stood on the scooter and slid out in a flash. "Wow, I'm flying, Rong Jiu, I'm flying, haha, so fun!"
Rong Jiu looked at it with envy.
This car is really interesting. You can stand on it and slide your left foot to fly far away. It is much more convenient than their jumping around.
And the little car that you just sat on and pushed with your feet can also go a long way.
Rong Jiu was thinking about how to let the young master and the young master talk about it, so that they could have fun even as adults.
An idea suddenly occurred to him: "If I say this car is for official business, then the young master will agree!"
The more Rong Jiu thought about it, the more he felt it would work!
