The Submissive Emperor - Chapter 77

Xiao Chengjin hasn’t been seen for a long time, and many newly promoted officials don’t even know him. However, the handsome face and the nobleness of the whole body of Xiao Chengjun in that portrait of Xiao Chengjun do not make people doubt his identity in the slightest.

“I have seen His Royal Highness Jing Wang.” Everyone saluted.

“The four emperors have passed away. This king will send him a ride. You don’t have to be courteous.” Xiao Chengjin’s voice is very pleasant, with a special rhythm, elegant and indifferent, noble and noble.

It is rumored that King Jing was weak and unbearable since he was young, and he has been training in another courtyard. It is said that King Jing was literate at three years old, read at five years old, wrote poems at seven years old, and never forgot; rumored that the emperor’s favorite prince was actually the second prince Xiao Chengjin; rumor……

Legends about Xiao Chengjin popped out from the depths of people’s minds one by one. At the same time, it reminded people that the second prince, like the King of Fujian, was raised by the queen and could inherit the Datong.

Xiao Chengjin ignored everyone’s uncertain eyes, walked slowly into the mourning hall, and took the incense from the people around him. The slender fingers, which are almost transparent, are pinching the slender incense, and the curling smoke slowly diffuses from the fingers, “You and I have grown up together, I only hope you are healthy, safe and happy, not like the second emperor brother. With such a horrible fate, who would have imagined that you should have taken a step first…”

“Father!” The grandmother hugged the little prince and followed, and put the child down in front of the mourning hall. The little guy stumbled to Xiao Chengjin’s side, pulled his clothes, and called him milkyly.

Xiao Chengjin lowered his head, glanced at his son, leaned over and touched his head, “Rui’er, go and kowtow to your uncle.”

The emperor’s eldest grandson is one year old and has just acquired a big name-Xiao Qirui.

Xiao Qirui was ignorant. She was pulled by the nurse and knelt in front of her spirit. He knocked Xiao Chengzheng three crooked heads and pointed at the dark coffin, “Uncle Si, sleep?”

Xiao Chengjin took his son’s chubby little hand without saying a word, just watched it quietly for a while, then turned and left.

The second prince who has the right to inheritance appeared, and was shocked and brilliant. He exploded for a while.

Emperor Chunde naturally heard about this and learned that King Jing was already able to move around, so he recruited him to enter the palace. Seeing that he was advancing and retreating well, he was so graceful that the emperor was very relieved.

However, this statement was only a rumor heard by the courtiers. As for whether there was any “emperor’s comfort”, it was not known, but the deep water of the Li Chuan was getting more and more muddled.

Chen Shichang was in a hurry in the right minister’s mansion. Originally, according to his plan, the three princes were appointed as princes. Sooner or later, the emperor was dissatisfied with the three princes. Here comes a second prince.

“The second prince was raised by a queen, with a good name, and now his health is getting better…” Sun Xian, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, stood aside, glanced at the right photo, and slowly said, “Huh, it’s just a sick seedling.” Chen Shichang was so angry that he blew his beard.

“Teacher, if we sit and wait to die, I’m afraid we will be cut off by the second prince.” Sun Xian said in a calm tone, and Chen Shichang was even more impatient with a few words.

“Let them write,” Youxiang took a sip of tea while sitting in a chair, and took a deep breath. “The old man Zhao Duan would have this trick, and so would I.”

The officials in Minzhou were promoted by local officials, and not many with great talents. Fortunately, there were a lot of people left behind in Jingnan, and some of them knew Dongying dialect.

The Japanese pirates caught on the beach that day had confessed that they were the Eastern Assassins hired by the pirates, and they were indeed here to find the way. This year, the Japanese pirates have been late because of the news that Minzhou has changed its ruler, and if they don’t know what the situation is, they sent people to explore the way first.

“The news about the Japanese pirates is well-informed. How did they learn about this in an island country thousands of miles away?” Lou Jing sneered looking at the sea map.

“The Japanese pirates colluded with the wealthy merchants in Minzhou. It was not a day or two.” Xiao Chengjun sighed. Before coming to Jingnan, he told him that the Japanese pirates in Minzhou are not simple foreign enemies. They are divided into two types, one is Those who came to burn, kill and loot, one came to do business.

Rich businessmen colluded with Japanese pirates? It was the first time Lou Jing heard about him. He always thought that Japanese pirates were similar to Danzi, who came to grab things, but instead of riding horses, they took boats, and they were shorter than Danzi. If you meet them, you can just fight them. Come for business?

“Rui Zong began to ban the sea in seven years, and the coastal areas have been forbidden to allow other people to land ashore,” Xiao Chengjun touched the guy who lay on his lap while he was talking, “Chunde three years, the father ordered the sea to be completely sealed, the merchant Do not go out to the sea to do business, and even fishermen who fish are not allowed to go too far into the sea.”

Lou Jing looked up at him, “You don’t agree?”

Xiao Chengjun was stunned, and looked down at Lou Jing, “I think it’s better to block it than to sparse it.”

“Master, there is a letter from Beijing.” Lu Zhao reported outside the door.

“Take it in.” In the past few days, Xiao Chengjun has become accustomed to the days when he is not shy away from others. Now he has no intention of urging Lou Jing to sit up, and Lou Jing, who has always been cheeky, is naturally happy to stay still.

Lu Zhao lowered his head and presented the letter, “Master Wang, General Cheng said that the seaside defenses have been prepared, and asked the Lord whether he wants to see it?”

“Ben Wang Ming is going a few days ago, and you have to prepare the guards and entourage.” Xiao Chengjun took the envelope and opened it neatly.

There are two letters, one is from Xiao Chengjin and the other is from the left.

The Zuoxiang’s letter explained in detail the situation in Japan and Korea in recent times. They have collected most of the evidence of the Qinghe incident. They can point the finger at the third prince, and it will definitely make it difficult for him to turn over.

And Xiao Chengjin’s letter asked about the situation in Minzhou in detail, and said nothing but the last sentence, “Rui’er was named Xiao Qirui, and the queen’s father connected him to Fengyi Palace for temporary stay.”

Xiao Chengjun put the two letters together and frowned slightly. Things went according to his expectations, but he always felt that something was wrong. “Zhao Duan seems to be anxious a lot.”

Lou Jing stretched out his hand and took Zhao Duan’s letter over and looked at it. He laughed, “I know what’s going on.” After speaking, he took out a letter from Zhao Xi and handed it to him.

After reading it, Xiao Chengjun couldn’t help but laugh, “That’s it.” Chen Guifei forced Zuo to marry her nephew, and Zhao Duan, the old fox, was also forced to be a bit temperamental, and was anxious to kill the Chen family.

He picked up the pen and added a sentence to Zhang Duan’s reply, “The time has not arrived, Qing Dang will use the luck of luck, and I will slowly figure it out.”

The so-called lucky method is to say nice words and coax the emperor to take the path you have calculated. This trick is naturally not a good way for Ming Jun, but for people like Emperor Chunde, it can be said to be unsatisfactory.

Zhao Duan burned the letters from Minzhou to ashes on the candlelight, clapped his hands, straightened his clothes, and went to the imperial study room.

“The ceremony was played by the Ministry of Rites, saying that the eldest son of the four princes was still in the infancy, and no one fell to the pot when he rose up. I wonder if the emperor’s grandson can perform this ceremony on his behalf.” Zhao Duan took the book of the Ministry of rites and showed it to Emperor Chunde.

Emperor Chunde pondered for a moment and said, “The emperor’s eldest grandson has just reached his first birthday, and his eldest grandson’s status is precious. It is improper to throw a pot for his uncle and let the nanny hold the second emperor’s grandson.”

“Yes,” Zhao Duan replied, and then said, “The emperor seems to be quite haggard today, but the matter of Li Chu has disturbed the purity of the sage?”

“Humph,” Emperor Chunde snorted coldly, “one and two are looking forward to my early death.”

Officials from the first faction on the right kept writing letters to persuade the emperor to reach Chu Chu as soon as possible. They also said that the second prince was not in good health and was unbearable, and hoped that the emperor would not be impulsive.

Zhao Duan glanced at the pile of memorials thrown on the ground by Emperor Chunde and hesitated for a moment.

“You said.” Emperor Chunde still trusts Zuoxiang very much. In his opinion, although Zhao Duan is sleek, but he has always been loyal to him alone, and there is no imperial concubine in Zhao’s family, it is fair to think about Li Chu. of.

“The emperor is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period. It doesn’t matter if you have a crown. If you decide to do so, the minister thinks that you should not be a crown prince, and a grandson!” Zhao Duan looked at Emperor Chunde’s expression, halting every word. Say.

“Emperor grandson?” Emperor Chunde was taken aback. He really hadn’t thought about establishing the emperor’s grandson. It was too much trouble to establish the third prince, and the second prince was afraid that he would not live long. The King of Min who didn’t like it was even more unwilling. In this way, the grandson of the emperor would be reasonable.

“The ancients have said that if the emperor was strong in the last year, the crown prince would be turbulent in the court,” Zhao Duan said, kneeling down, “I hope the emperor will forgive me.”

If these words weren’t in a nice tone, they would be rebellious and provoking the royal relationship. Zhao Duan was also very nervous when he said it.

Emperor Chunde was silent for a while, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, “Aiqing is right!” He said like this, got up and patted Zuoxiang on the shoulder, and walked back and forth in the imperial study in excitement. step.

Back then, his father, Emperor Ruizong, was alive because of the longevity of the crown prince, so he thought of setting up his grandson. Establishing the emperor’s grandson means the emperor’s longevity, which is more appropriate for him who now has the elixir of elixir to extend his life.

When Xiao Chengjin got the news from Zhao Duan, she slightly curled her lips and said to the princess: “I’ll stay in Fengyi Palace for a few days, and you can rest in the house with peace of mind.”

“How can the prince go alone, let the concubine go with him.” Zhang Shi was a little worried.

“There is no woman in Fengyi Palace, you can’t stay there for the night.” Xiao Chengjin waved his hand, changed into a moon-white prince’s costume, got on the sedan chair, and went to the palace.

At the same time, a distinguished guest greeted Rongcheng.

The coastal forces are properly arranged, but Xiao Chengjun now suffers from not having a good commander.

All the troops of the Jingnan Duke were left, but those generals who were able to conquer good combat were all transferred to the capital when the Jingnan Duke returned to the capital. Only one General Cheng was still useful.

Lou Jing can help him, but Jiangzhou’s affair is not over yet, and seeing that he has to go back to kill the bandits, and go to the Jiangzhou governor by the way, “Don’t worry about Jiangzhou’s affairs. I’ll help you finish playing the little dwarf before leaving.”

“No, Jiangzhou’s military power is very important and cannot be delayed.” Xiao Chengjun shook his head. He had been prepared for the affairs of Minzhou, and there was no need to delay Lou Jing’s business.

“Prince Qi, there is someone outside the door asking to see him, claiming to be the second uncle Lou family.” Lu Zhao went to the defense of Rongcheng. The guards outside didn’t know who the second uncle Lou family was, and could only report on the truth.

“Second Uncle?” Xiao Chengjun was taken aback, then turned to look at Lou Jing who was smiling smugly, “You did it?”

“I didn’t do anything,” Lou Jing spread his hands, and put it on again with a grin, and put his arms around Xiao Chengjun’s waist.
