Dressed as a Rebellious Vicious Stepmother 18
There were constant good news at the border, but there was no peace in the middle of the court. Seeing that the prince's power was getting stronger, the princes gathered in a group one after another. At that time, the prince's impeachment papers were almost piled on the royal table.
The emperor didn't ask any questions and scolded the prince bloody!
Xihe recently took Meng Huaiyu back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to inquire about border news. When he heard this, he knew that the emperor was dissatisfied with the prince.
But it's no wonder that every time the emperor scolds the prince, half of the ministers in the court speak for him... Can the emperor not be angry?
In the eyes of the emperor, this kind of behavior is "privately befriending ministers" (if not, the situation is more serious, indicating that the courtiers and his son are waiting for him to abdicate and can't wait to ascend the throne), and it has seriously threatened the emperor's chair.
Xihe shook his head, it was only a matter of time before the prince was deposed.
After handing Meng Huaiyu to his uncle, Xihe started talking to Mrs. Lin, but Mrs. Lin was also busy. After saying a few words, the steward came to report something, and Xihe wandered to the study.
It happened that Prime Minister Qiang came back at this time, so she advised him to make a retreat as soon as possible, as the prince could not be trusted.
Prime Minister Qiang sneered: "Then who do you think is reliable? Meng Yuchuan?"
Xihe shook his head: "You are wrong, it's Huaiyu."
Prime Minister Qiang looked at her as if she was crazy. He didn't even bother to say anything and just had her thrown out.
Xihe hugged the pillar and said: "Dad, I think you are my father and that's why you are kind enough to show you the way. Forget it if you don't believe it, why would you do anything to me, your daughter? Really, you believe me, hug my son's thigh
That’s right!”
Prime Minister Qiang glared at the steward: "Why are you still standing there?"
The steward rubbed his hands in embarrassment: "Second Miss, look at this..."
Xihe snorted and didn't wait any longer. He said, "King Yu is not a fuel-efficient lamp," and walked away gracefully.
As soon as she left, Prime Minister Qiang stroked his beard and fell into deep thought.
The steward couldn't help but ask: "Sir, should we listen to the second lady and check King Yu?"
Prime Minister Qiang's eyes were calm at this time, but there was no sign of him getting angry just now. Obviously, the look just now was for his daughter to see.
The daughter pretended to be crazy and acted foolishly, but the father did not hesitate to give in. The two of them were indeed father and daughter.
He stared at the words on the rice paper thoughtfully: "You said this news, did Meng Yuchuan tell her specifically?"
Although Meng Yuchuan is young, he has a heavy army and is still a first-class marquis. The news must be no less than him.
The steward was not sure, so he could only say: "Although the second lady is smart, her mind has always been on her children's affairs, but lately she has been acting in a very orderly manner..."
When I contacted about the military rations last time, it meant that the person behind it was Meng Yuchuan.
Prime Minister Qiang nodded: "Then send two people to check." He paused and said, "By the way, check on the child."
The steward paused and raised his head in surprise: "You mean the young prince?"
Prime Minister Qiang had a deep groove between his eyebrows: "Since she said it, let's check it out. The truth is, I want to see what other secrets Meng Yuchuan hides!"
He firmly believed that although the second daughter expressed her love for the husband in words, she still wanted the Prime Minister's Mansion in her heart. There might be some ulterior secret about Meng Huaiyu's life experience.
The steward will naturally respond.
Xihe left the study and saw Meng Huaiyu playing with his uncle by the lake.
Qiang Shen had just completed the imperial examination last year and was already a glorious Jinshi. He was working as an editor in the Hanlin Academy. He only liked martial arts but not literature. He still hasn't memorized the Analects of Confucius and is still detained at home to study.
The Prime Minister's Mansion was built by famous architects, with pavilions and pavilions, giving it a Jiangnan elegance.
At this time, one big one and one small one were fishing with a pole, concentrating and holding their breath, looking extremely serious.
"Hey!"
Xihe suddenly made a sound.
Qiang Yang trembled with fright, dropped the fishing rod to the ground, and the fish that had just been hooked ran away.
He was so angry that he yelled: "Qiang Wan, are you sick?"
I learned this curse word from Xihe. The last time this guy was mean-mouthed and said bad things about her, Xihe responded with "sick" and then beat him up mercilessly.
From that day on, Qiang Yang hated Xihe even more, and they started to fight each other when they met.
Gouzi was speechless to Xihe: "Are you free?"
It's hard to get along with a child.
Xihe caught the cheap son who rushed towards him, and replied to Gouzi in his heart, "Yes", and then said with a smile: "Qiang Yang, this is your fault, how can you curse someone? I will tell my father later and let him
Teach you the rules."
Qiang Yang was recently beaten by his father because he failed a spot check for endorsement, and he didn't even want to go in front of Prime Minister Qiang.
She was so angry that she said, "You complain at every turn, Qiang Wan, are you a three-year-old?"
"Mom is not a three-year-old baby, Chen'er is."
The little guy immediately retorted.
Qiang Yang choked.
Xihe smiled and kissed the little guy's forehead: "So good!"
She looked at the boy opposite him. He looked about sixteen or seventeen years old. He was staring at her angrily with his hands on his hips. He was particularly energetic. She never expected that this guy would not even survive until he was beaten to death by the male protagonist.
Xihe couldn't help but remind: "Don't go out if you have nothing to do recently. Just study at home."
Qiang Yang hated studying the most. These words only added fuel to the fire. Qiang Yang was immediately annoyed: "Mind yourself, don't worry about my affairs!" He turned around and left.
Xihe: "..."
Within two days, she heard Qiang Yang and the male protagonist fighting in the street.
The cause of this incident was that the Prime Minister's party exposed several private properties of King Yu in the court.
King Yu has always been shown to the public in the capital as a "free and uncontested prince". Among the many princes who are eager to take the throne, he can be regarded as a clean one. Even the emperor has repeatedly praised him for not liking vulgar things.
But this time, for the first time in history, everyone discovered that King Yu had so much private property!
Brothels, casinos, wine shops...all of them are making money every day in the capital.
Of course, this is not the most important thing. The important point is that there is a gold mine and two silver mines in Xishan, and there are many private soldiers trapped in the mines.
What is King Yu planning to do?
Now no one will believe that he is a prince who just wants to be free and happy.
So for a time, not only the court, but also many people in the capital changed their attitude towards King Yu. Some even said that he was deliberately hiding his clumsiness. In fact, like other princes, he was coveting the throne.
"I can't tell that Prince Yu has such scheming intentions. He is indeed a man who does great things."
"Bah, a real man should be upright and open-minded, like the prince, like the ministers in the court. Such scheming tricks really can't be put on the stage... Ouch!"
Before Qiang Yang could finish his words, he was punched in the nose.
Before anyone could react, a young man in rich clothes rushed over, pushed Qiang Yang to the ground, and smashed his fist down fiercely... Fortunately, Xihe put someone beside Qiang Yang in advance, otherwise he would have been beaten to death.
However, Qiang Yang was also beaten very badly, and his nose and ribs were all broken.
The matter finally came before His Majesty, and the Emperor scolded King Yu and then let it go easily.
When Xihe went to visit, he saw Prime Minister Qiang scolding his subordinates in the study. However, every sentence was actually scolding the emperor. Although the emperor was angry at King Yu's deception, he needed someone to suppress the prince.
Naturally, King Yu will not be really punished.
