Chapter 408 Don't meddle in the children's affairs
"Oh! It's ridiculous to be such a childish person when you know you are not a child!" The emperor was angry.
"I have nothing to play with. The woman I like is her, so I hope my father will take back his life."
"Huh! I don't agree to this marriage!" the emperor said angrily, glancing at Feng Chongwu, "Since you like her so much, why don't you just stay in your fief and come back? I can't see but clean,
I also found peace."
Feng Chongwu looked solemn but didn't know what to say.
At this time, Eunuch Cui's voice sounded outside: "The Queen is here!"
Feng Chongwu quickly stood up to greet him: "Queen Mother!"
The queen glanced at Feng Chongwu tenderly and looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, I am here to advise you not to interfere in your child's affairs."
The queen's words made the emperor very angry, but he could not refute, but just glared at the queen with a dark face.
The queen was neither humble nor arrogant, and was not afraid of the emperor. She just turned her gaze to Feng Chongwu and asked with concern: "Your concubine left early, and you have been in the fief all year round. It is rare to find someone you like. As long as you are clean and have good character,
Your father and I don't mind if you continue our relationship, but marriage is a big deal and you should let us know."
"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your understanding. It was my neglect. Thank you Queen Mother for your kindness. I will definitely let Shaolan enter the palace to pay you respects in the future." Feng Chongwu replied eagerly.
"Okay, as long as you like it." The queen smiled with satisfaction, then turned to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, it's getting late, don't delay going to the morning court."
The emperor glared at Feng Chongwu fiercely and walked away.
Feng Chongwu quickly caught up with the emperor and followed him to the Zichen Palace.
The emperor walked into the Zichen Hall with a livid face. The hall was already filled with civil and military officials. He sat on the dragon chair, glanced around everyone, and said sternly: "The envoy from Dongliang will arrive at Shangzhou in the near future. Everyone
My dear, you have a good plan."
The ministers exchanged glances with each other, knelt down and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I feel that it is not appropriate to receive the Dongliang envoys rashly. After all, Dongliang and I, Shang Zhou, have always been at odds with each other. This time Dongliang sent envoys
They must have come with ulterior motives. In order to prevent them from taking the opportunity to cause trouble, why not delay for a few days and wait until their intentions are found out before making a decision."
"I second my opinion, Dong Liang's wolf son is ambitious, I can't be careless, otherwise the women of Dong Liang will be plotted against me."
"I also second the proposal. Qi Qin has had contacts with Dongliang before, but this time I don't know why I, Shang Zhou, came again. His intentions are not good."
After listening to the words of the ministers, the emperor fell into deep thought and said for a while: "All your beloved ministers are right. Naturally, people still need to attend to the affairs of the Dongliang envoys. From now on, the eldest prince will be granted the title of King Wu. It will be up to him.
Come to receive the envoys of Dongliang."
When Feng Chongwu heard the news, he looked up at the emperor in shock. He never expected that the emperor would hand over such an important position to him.
The emperor looked at Feng Chongwu: "Why don't you accept the order and thank me?"
Feng Chongwu immediately accepted the order: "Thank you, father, for your kindness."
The emperor waved his hand to signal Feng Chongwu to get up, and Feng Chongwu stood up and walked to the right.
Looking at Feng Chongwu's back, the emperor's mouth curved into a deep arc.
Feng Chongwu naturally didn't know about this matter. The emperor asked him to receive the Dongliang envoy just to test whether Feng Chongwu had any selfish motives.
The officials' expressions changed when they saw Feng Chongwu being named Queen Wu. Everyone with a discerning eye knew that Feng Chongwu chose this time to enter the capital for the sake of becoming the crown prince. Now the second prince is nowhere to be found, and the third prince is disabled, so he is still the only prince.
There is only one emperor grandson left, Feng Yuanchen. Now that Feng Chongwu is very popular, some people can't wait to start taking sides.
At first, Feng Yuanqing was the dominant one, but in the end he had a fierce fight with Feng Yuanchen. In the end, Feng Yuanqing and the Qi family were defeated. Now the most powerful among the princes is Feng Chongwu, although the emperor has always favored Feng Yuanchen.
, but there was no actual support in the court. However, Feng Chongwu did not get the emperor's permission to enter the capital this time, so it is still unknown.
"Okay, let's retire from the court!" After the emperor finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and left the hall.
As soon as Feng Chongwu walked out of the hall, he slowed down, as if he was waiting for someone to come.
Feng Chongwu glanced sideways behind him and frowned, then approached
Sheng Zhengye, who was walking over, said: "Sheng Xiang."
Sheng Zhengye raised his hands and saluted: "King Wu."
Feng Chongwu nodded, and then asked: "How is Prime Minister Sheng doing these days?"
Feng Chongwu's words made Sheng Zhengye raise his eyebrows, and then he smiled and said, "Thank you, King Wu, for caring about me. Everything will be fine with me."
"Oh? Where are you going, Prime Minister Sheng?" Feng Chongwu asked curiously.
Sheng Zhengye was surprised for a moment by Feng Chongwu's sudden question, and then said with a smile: "I have some things to do, so I'll take my leave first."
After saying that, he quickly left without waiting for Feng Chongwu's response.
"Ha!" Feng Chongwu chuckled, looked at the direction in which Sheng Zhengye was leaving, and murmured: "Quite cautious!" After that, he walked towards the Royal Garden.
"Master, do we want to follow?" Ah Jiu came over and asked quietly.
"No need, let's go back!" Feng Chongwu said indifferently.
"yes."
On the other side, Sheng Zhengye stopped in the imperial garden and glanced sideways at Feng Chongwu who was about to leave not far behind.ap.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, turned around and walked towards the palace entrance.
The two secret guards following him looked at each other. One of them quietly followed Sheng Zhengye, while the other continued to monitor Feng Chongwu's movements.
After returning home, Sheng Zhengye sent the secret guards away, walked directly into the study, sat in front of the desk and began to read the memorial.
Around noon, Sheng Zhengye got up leisurely and prepared to go to the Qingliu Courtyard of Lord Sheng.
As soon as Sheng Zhengye stepped into the courtyard, Butler Li greeted him: "Your Majesty."
"Yes." Sheng Zhengye responded softly and walked towards the house, "Where is father?"
"The old Marquis is resting in the house."
Sheng Zhengye responded and walked into the room.
Looking at Mr. Sheng, who was sitting behind the desk with his eyes closed and concentrating, Sheng Zhengye slowly walked to the soft couch next to him and sat down.
He picked up the teapot on the table, poured himself a glass of water, and took a sip.
"Father."
"What's the matter?" Mr. Sheng opened his eyes and looked at his only son.
"Father, the emperor canonized the eldest prince as King Wu today." Sheng Zhengye said in a normal tone.
"Oh, really?" Mr. Sheng looked very cold, and then closed his eyes again.
Seeing the appearance of Lord Sheng, Sheng Zhengye felt a little panicked. He endured it and said, "Father, since the emperor has made the eldest prince the King of Wu, then..."
"What about King Wu? He's just a prince, so there's nothing to worry about. You don't need to worry. You just need to do your job well and don't interfere with other things. Do you understand?"
