A Precious Pearl in the Imperial City - Chapter 117
The wind blows away the clouds, revealing the moon and stars.
The father and son admired the beautiful night scene with a relaxed and at ease.
“What do you think of Ming’s family?” Emperor Longfeng would not point to the officials and tell his son, what is the character of this person, what do you want to do to him. People’s hearts are changeable. As a father, he should teach his son to understand the hearts of people, instead of letting his son obey him in everything.
He hopes to cultivate a wise and decisive emperor for the future of Dacheng, rather than a mediocre puppet.
“Know how to advance and retreat, stress loyalty.” Wang Chen said without even thinking about it: “The most important thing is that they have people in their eyes.”
“The literati are easy to find, but good officials are hard to find.” Emperor Longfeng smiled and nodded: “Even if someone can make a colorful article, it’s not as good as a person who revitalizes the country.”
“The Ming family is different. They can not only write good articles, but also help the father rule the world.” Wang Chen looked at Emperor Longfeng: “So the father value them so much?”
Emperor Longfeng put his hand on his shoulders: “Seeing you and the Ming family’s daughters supporting each other, the feelings are very strong, and it is for the father to let go of the guilt of the Ming family.”
Because of his selfishness and disregarding the wishes of the Ming family, he named the girl of the Ming family as the princess Chen, hoping that Du Qing could learn from the Ming family the responsibility and demeanor of a superior person.
Originally, he picked the Sun family, who knows that the Sun family’s daughter prefers the fourth child. If he insists on it, it would be bad for both sons.
Many royals don’t meet any true love, most of them spend their lives with different women in a muddle-headed manner, with their wives and concubines in groups, making the bustle and bustle.
They will not identify the people around them, and approach them for money or power, because they own it all.
Because of this, he felt ashamed of the Ming family.
But fate is sometimes a miracle, and he can’t think of it anyway, the Ming family’s daughter and Du Qing still have that kind of relationship.
Wang Chen turned his head to look at Emperor Longfeng, what his image in his father’s heart was, that would make him feel guilty for marrying him with the daughter of the courtier’s house.
“Look at what I’m doing, your bad temper, how many impeachment tricks did your father block for you?” Emperor Longfeng patted him on the back, slapped, “Uneasy stuff.”
“You can’t say that. Erchen is doing chivalry and righteousness.” Wang Chen yawned: “Others don’t know, you can’t wrong your son.”
“If I don’t know, how can I still let you linger in the capital all day?” Emperor Longfeng laughed loudly, and the father and son were hugging each other’s shoulders. They looked like good brothers. No one would dare to see him. I believe this is the emperor and future prince of Dacheng.
“But.” Emperor Longfeng looked at his son: “That night, you turned back and told me that you were willing to share your worries for your father and be a great prince. I am very pleased.”
“I am…” Wang Chen turned his head slightly, not looking at Emperor Longfeng’s eyes: “I don’t want you to stay up all night to review the memorials, so that the queen always worried about you.”
“Oh?”
“Long live your life. I will be my idle prince. The best of both worlds.”
Kylin Palace.
The white peony accepted the thank-you gift from Princess Chen and went to the main hall to bid farewell to Princess Chen.
“Where are my elder sisters going?” Jiuzhu looked at the white peony, who was less than 30 years old, but was already dusky: “It’s better to stay in the Kylin Palace. The tea that my sister makes is delicious.”
White Peony didn’t even think about it, so she sensibly refused: “The princess, the servant girl used to be the big palace girl in front of Concubine Ning and the fourth prince, and she must not wait in the Kylin Palace.”
People say it is terrible. If she stays in the Kylin Palace, in the eyes of others, everything that Concubine Ning and the fourth prince meet may be the calculations of the fifth prince, and she is the spy sent by the fifth prince.
The Grand Ceremony of the Fifth Prince’s canonization of the prince is coming soon, why should she put a stain on the two of them.
“The slave and maid are not young anymore, and because of physical injury they can’t get pregnant, and it’s not easy to remarry when going out of the palace. I beg the princess to give the slave a grace and let the slave go to Shangyi Bureau to be a maid.” She stretched out her hand to stop, she looked at squatting in front of her and looked at Princess Chen with her, with a slight smile on her face: “It is an honor for slaves to add stitches to the princess’ clothes in the future.”
“Okay.” Jiuzhu raised his head to greet Yang Yiduo, who was beside him: “Daddy Yang, what’s the real lack of Shangyi Bureau?”
Yang Yiduo said: “Yesterday, there was a criminal in the Shangyi Bureau, and her job was vacant.”
“Then arrange for Sister White Peony to go. She is a fifth-rank maid, and this vacancy makes it possible.” Jiuzhu helped the white peony and said to Yang Yiduo: “You will send Sister White Peony to yourself tomorrow, don’t let the following People, they bully her when they see her as a raw face.”
“Wang Hao, don’t…”
“Sister, Your Highness and I never care about how others think of us, but I ask for a clear conscience.” Jiuzhu smiled at her: “You will sleep in the Kylin Palace tonight. You don’t have to worry about everything else.”
If you can’t even do what you want, what’s the point of being a human being?
“Princess Xie.” Baishao did not salute, until he walked out of the main hall gate, he bowed his knees and bowed in the direction where she was in a place where Jiuzhu was invisible.
She is very sorry.
Regrettably, when I entered the palace at a young age, I didn’t meet a master like Princess Chen.
Looking up at the bright moon in the sky, she smiled.
That’s good, she finally got a good ending in her life.
In the main hall of the Sun Mansion, there were a few officials with solemn expressions, their faces in the candlelight, and they looked particularly restless.
“Master Sun, you say something, don’t you let the fifth prince be the prince?” The official who spoke was wearing a green robe, and wrinkled his forehead with sorrow: “Over the years, Wang Chen has acted arrogantly and ridiculously. There are not a few of us. Don’t impeach him. If he becomes the emperor in the future, we will not be afraid of our old bones. We are afraid that our descendants will be affected by us, and there will be nowhere to display our talents.”
“Not really.” A gray-robed official answered: “When the Zheng family was not losing power, Zheng Wangnan ran into the King Chen because of words, and was punished by him to copy books and write scripts in the children’s enlightenment class. We were all impeached. Isn’t it true that those who have passed him are pierced in his eyes and pierced in his flesh.”
Master Sun raised his eyes and looked at the gray-clothed official who was talking, but still did not speak.
“Master Sun, it is rumored that the relationship between Qianjin and Princess Chen is at odds. You have to think about the future.” The official in the gray robe saw that Master Sun looked at himself, and quickly continued to persuade: “Ling Lang has been working in a foreign country for many years, always thinking about it. The method was transferred back to the capital.”
Master Sun was a bit tired of hearing. Although his aptitude was mediocre, he was not as talented as his ancestors, but he would not even be unable to hear the instigation.
There have been many loyal ministers and good generals in the Sun family’s ancestors. If he sings against his Majesty because of his personal grievances, he is afraid that he will come to the end a hundred years later and be scolded by his ancestor.
What’s more, Wang Chen is not as unbearable as the outside world rumored.
If he really acted recklessly, how could he intercede with Princess Chen for his daughter?
“His Royal Highness Chen has a pure heart and a benevolent heart, and I think that Wang Chen is the best candidate for the prince.” Lord Sun stood up and said deeply to the people present: “Please forgive me, adults, Sun doesn’t think this. There is nothing wrong with it.”
“you……”
Few people in this room did not expect that the surnamed Sun would actually help Wang Chen, and the surname Sun did not write less about the impeachment of Wang Chen’s Zhezi these years.
“I didn’t expect that Master Sun would also speak for King Chen one day. I don’t know if after King Chen became the throne, will he remember the great achievements of Master Sun, or remember the hatred of Master Sun over the years of impeachment?” I was so angry that I would get such a result.
“Hey.” The Qingpao official sighed, “Brother Sun, you are confused.”
The Sun family did not want to be married to the King Chen, and impeached the words and deeds of the King Chen. This is one by one, and which one does not attract the hatred of the King Chen?
“Everyone, Sun is ashamed of King Chen. His Royal Highness is indeed the best candidate for the prince. Please put aside your old prejudices and refrain from making faults with King Chen.” Master Sun made repeated attempts at everyone, begging them not to Go to the King Chen for trouble: “It was Sun’s fault in the past, please look at Sun’s face, tomorrow morning, don’t talk about the canonization of the prince.”
Everyone fell silent, and one of them said, “Can you guarantee that after King Chen takes the throne, he won’t retaliate against us?”
“Don’t you understand that even if we object, Your Majesty will not change your mind?” Mrs. Sun persuaded: “Why don’t you go ahead and keep a favor?”
“It’s true that we owe King Chen a favor to the Sun family.” Mrs. Sun told the story of King Chen and Princess Chen’s plea for his daughter.
“My sirs, please think about it, if Wang Chen is really the one who will repay him, how can he and Princess Chen beg for the little girl at the moment of his majesty’s anger?”
“We understand what you mean.” Several officials have known Master Sun for many years, knowing that he will not fool them, and after struggling for a long time: “We will go back and consider this matter.”
After returning home, the few people tossed and turned into the middle of the night, and went to the morning with dark circles under their eyes.
Then when the emperor praised King Chen, they gritted their teeth and stood up first.
Since you want to sell favors, it is better to sell thoroughly, at least let the king of Chen know that they have sold the king of Chen.
The face of the grey-robed official last night became extremely ugly. Why did all these people change their mouths in just one night? What did the surnamed Sun tell them?
He thought about it, but he didn’t dare to stand alone and sing against the emperor.
All the courtiers were shocked when they saw that these few officials who liked to impeach King Chen were the first to stand up and praise King Chen.
The tempers of these people are stinky and stubborn. What method did your Majesty use to get them to change their mouths?
Emperor Longfeng was also very surprised. These few have always been dissatisfied with his family Duqing. Most of the memorials of impeaching Duqing came from them, but because they are all talented people, Emperor Longfeng I have never embarrassed them too much.
What’s going on here today?
They don’t look like people who see the wind at the rudder.
In the harem, there were people who expected officials to oppose the grand occasion of the canonization of Wang Chen as the prince.
“Is it still lively in the court today?”
As long as there are enough opponents, even if Yun Duqing becomes a prince, there will be hidden dangers.
“master……”
The little palace lady knelt in front of her: “The court was full of praise to Wang Chen, and no one opposed it.”
“What?” She stood up: “Impossible.”
She deliberately arranged people to stir up their jealousy and dissatisfaction with King Chen. How could they still praise King Chen?
“Useless waste.” She used so much energy to make him climb to the position of the fourth-rank official, even this little thing could not be handled well.
“Niangniang, it’s not good.” A **** ran in and rolled in: “There is a rumor in the palace that says…”
“Say what?”
“Said that His Majesty King Huai is not your biological child with His Majesty.”
“Nonsense!” Concubine Xu’s expression changed drastically, and her anger rose to the sky: “Who dares to spread rumors of royal blood?!”
