Chapter 243 The Prince Rebellion
Rong Yue laughed heartily and used the serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of rouge goose breast for Su Zhenzhen, "Zhenzhen girl, try this, you will like it too." She smiled lovely, "Thank you, father, you are so good to your son. My husband also wants one, you can't be partial." She raised her eyebrows proudly and looked at the handsome man beside her cunningly.
Rong Yue was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "Come here, Chen'er, let me pick up a piece for you too." He then used the serving chopsticks to pick up a piece for Rong Jinchen. He pursed his lips and said, "Thank you, father."
After the meal, when the three of them washed their hands, Rong Yue looked at Su Zhenzhen and asked gently, "Zhenzhen girl, I'm not kidding. I'll give you whatever reward you want." He added jokingly, "If you weren't already my daughter-in-law, I would have made you a princess." In this way, he would have a precious daughter.
Rong Jinchen's handsome face darkened, "Father." What should he do in this case? Su Zhenzhen chuckled, making her smile happily, "That won't work. I want to marry you." How can a brother marry his sister?
Hearing Su Zhenzhen's words, Rong Jinchen's expression softened, and he looked at Rong Yue with a hint of showing off, while Rong Yue touched his beautiful beard with amusement, "My son Chen is so outstanding that Miss Zhenzhen can't forget him." Yes, how could any girl not like such a good boy like his Chen?
Su Zhenzhen smiled reservedly, a slight blush on her face, and then said: "Father, I haven't decided what I want yet. Can I buy it on credit?" She looked eagerly at the man in the black robe with a gold dragon pattern.
Rong Yue smiled amiably, "Sure." If it were anyone else, how could they have received such treatment? Daring to bargain with the emperor. Su Zhenzhen's voice was soft and sticky, "Father, you are so kind." Not to mention the same old story, not even the words had changed.
Rong Jinchen couldn't help but smile. Qingqing only knew this trick, and both he and his father fell for it and were completely controlled by her.
Sure enough, Rong Yue looked at her with a smile, "Yu Fuhai, take Zhenzhen to my private treasury. Zhenzhen can choose whatever she likes. Don't be polite with father." His private treasury contained the accumulation of hundreds of years of emperors of the Qin Dynasty, and there were countless rare treasures.
I usually joke with Zhenzhen that she is about to move out, but it is just a joke.
Su Zhenzhen said without any pretense, "Okay, thank you, father." Then she looked at Rong Jinchen, "Husband, stay with me." She stretched out her little hand towards him, waved it, and was pinched by the man's big hand with distinct joints.
Looking at the backs of his children leaving together, Rong Yue smiled with relief, but seemed to be lost in thought...
It happened to be a small court meeting.
In the palace, the Jingzhao Yin had already given a clear account of the resettlement and fate of the refugees outside the capital.
Fortunately, it is not winter, otherwise I would have to worry about how to arrange a place for them.
Rong Yue was very satisfied with his abilities, believing him to be a capable and practical person. "My dear minister, you have worked hard. I hope you will get a top grade in the end-of-year assessment. You have almost completed three years as Jingzhao Yin. I know this well." Jingzhao Yin's face was beaming, yet he pretended to be reserved. "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Rong Yue looked at Su Qiyang again, "Ziyun has worked really hard this time. My son Chen was lazy and left everything to you three, father and son." He knew this too.
But Chen'er is right, his fat grandson/granddaughter is more important.
Su Qiyang ignored the burning gazes of everyone in the hall and said, "Your Majesty, it is my humble duty to eat the emperor's salary and share his worries. Your Majesty, I am unworthy of this." He added, "His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan has outstanding abilities. Your Majesty should entrust him with more important tasks." He gritted his teeth a little, he just couldn't bear to see His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan idle.
Although it seemed that His Royal Highness Prince Yan was thinking about his beloved daughter and grandchildren, Su Qiyang was still unhappy.
Rong Yue didn't think that Su Qiyang was taking the opportunity to stand on Chen'er's side. How could anyone shake the relationship between him and Ziyun as king and subject?
Rong Yue, who was wearing the Tongtian Crown, narrowed his eyes slightly and stroked his well-maintained beard with his big hand. "Ziyun's words make sense, but Miss Zhenzhen is pregnant now. Chen'er's job should wait until Miss Zhenzhen gives birth to the baby." He still had self-knowledge. In Chen'er's heart, his old father was definitely not as important as Miss Zhenzhen.
Alas, His Majesty is sad and starts to be emo...
The ministers in the hall kept their eyes on the topic and did not get involved in the conversation between His Majesty and Prime Minister Su. Talking too much would only bring tears of sadness.
They discussed some government affairs that needed to be dealt with and were preparing for the morning court session when a voice suddenly came from outside the hall.
"Report! Your Majesty! Urgent message from eight hundred miles away, someone has rebelled in the name of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" The man, dressed in armor, was led directly into the hall, knelt down and spoke loudly.
Everyone was shocked. Wasn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince going to provide disaster relief? How could he be linked to treason?
The prince's faction couldn't help but change its expression, while the King of Jin and the King of Chu tried hard to suppress their joy, lowering their heads to avoid showing too obvious smiles.
Su Qiyang first silently observed the expressions of Prince Jin and Prince Chu, then looked at Prince Duan, his peach blossom eyes slightly narrowed. As expected, these princes managed their expressions very well, and it was actually impossible to tell anything.
How could His Royal Highness rebel? But the strange thing is that someone rebelled in the name of His Royal Highness, and his heart was worthy of death.
He looked at His Majesty, whose expression was unrecognizable, with a normal face. He was silent for a long time before saying, "Answer me truthfully about the whole incident." How could the prince possibly rebel?
The eyes of Prince Jin Rong Jinyu and Prince Chu Rong Jinyan both darkened. Does the emperor trust the prince so much?
But someone has rebelled in the name of the crown prince. How can your father really not mind?
The man said: "Your Highness the Crown Prince went to Luoyang to provide disaster relief. He was supposed to appease the people and no plague broke out. But unexpectedly, a riot broke out in Yiyang, which is next to Luoyang. It is said that they suffered no less disaster than Luoyang, but the court only cared about the lives of the people in Luoyang. Your Highness the Crown Prince is kind and loves the people, so it must be the court..." He did not dare to say anything further.
Although he always mentioned the imperial court, who doesn't know the hidden meaning of this statement? Doesn't the imperial court refer to His Majesty?
Rong Yue sneered. Sure enough, they were coming towards him and the reform. The Crown Prince...
The magnificent palace was silent, and everyone even slowed down their breathing, waiting for His Majesty to speak.
After a moment's silence, Rong Yue said: "What is the scale of the uprising? Who is leading it? Can it become a success now?" His voice was indifferent, and no emotion could be heard.
"Your Majesty, there have been uprisings in the severely affected areas of Yiyang, Xin'an, Sishui and other places under the Henan Provincial Government." The man spoke with a bit of trepidation, not daring to look up at the majestic Majesty.
The hall fell silent again. The ministers were silent, and the prince was silent too.
The agarwood and agarwood bracelet inlaid with gold beads in Rong Yue's hand was constantly being plucked. His eyes were dark, and after a long time, he said: "The Yellow River bursting its dike is a natural disaster. I sympathize with the people and it is not easy. Except for the bandit leader, those who surrender will not be killed." Rebellion is a serious crime punishable by the death of nine generations of the clan, but it is human nature for the people to rebel when they cannot live. He will not let go of those who instigated the riot.
