Chapter 47
There is no need to go to court today. The emperor originally wanted to take the queen and concubines to the Imperial Garden to appreciate flowers, chat, and drink tea. Unexpectedly, Xue Mingcan came to find him as soon as he came back.
The emperor had just rested for a while after breakfast, and the little eunuch came in and said to Xue Mingcan for a visit. "Let him come in."
"yes."
After a while, Xue Mingcan entered.
The emperor was about to put the garlic juice in his hand on his eyes when he opened his eyes in surprise: "Xiao Wu, why are you so thin?!"
Xue Mingcan knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the emperor. Except for his father, everyone would find that he was so thin that he was losing face when he saw him. "I was anxious to hurry on the road. Your Majesty, this is my elder brother's military talisman, I'll give it back to you."
Now, the emperor's eyes turned red without garlic juice.
The emperor stood up and walked to Xue Mingcan and helped Xue Mingcan up in person. "Don't be afraid, I'm still there after your elder brother left. If anyone bullies you, tell me that I'll make the decision for you."
He watched this child grow up.
Now that I am so thin… “Carry a chair for the fifth young master.”
"Yes." The little eunuch brought a chair over quickly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, I'm fine, I just lost a little bit."
The emperor pressed Xue Mingcan onto the chair. "It's okay if you're all out of shape." The emperor looked at the little eunuch next to him. "Go and invite Doctor Su."
"yes."
Xue Mingcan held the military talisman and sent it to the emperor. "Your Majesty, I have brought my elder brother's military talisman to you, please hold it away."
The emperor did not answer. "Your brother is gone, just take your brother's military talisman."
"I dare not take it. Your Majesty, I know how much I have. I can't even take care of myself. Your Majesty, please take back the military talisman."
"Why don't you give it to your father? Your father can still lead the troops."
Xue Mingcan was stunned for a moment. "Your Majesty, this is your soldier, not our Xue family's soldier. Of course, I have to return your soldier to you if my elder brother is missing."
The emperor looked at Xue Mingcan's eyes and asked, "Are you sure? How many people are rushing to want this military talisman."
Xue Mingcan immediately replied: "Confirm! Your Majesty, you know that I can only play. Your Majesty, this is your soldier. You cannot hand over your soldier to a person who only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun."
Xue Mingcan knelt on the ground again, holding the military talisman and looking at the emperor, saying, "Your Majesty, please take back the military talisman."
"Okay." The emperor took the military talisman over and helped Xue Mingcan onto the chair. "Do you have breakfast?"
"No."
The emperor asked the eunuch to bring a bowl of porridge to Xue Mingcan. "Let Doctor Su take your pulse first. If Doctor Su says you can eat meat, I will let them make meat for you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, I want to ask you to make the decision for me."
"You said. I will make the decision for you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, after my elder brother disappeared, my father wanted my second brother to be the prince. But my second brother is really not worthy of being the prince. My second brother not only seduces my sister-in-law but also has an affair with my father's concubine."
"Is this happening?" the emperor expressed doubts. "Your second brother is a model of both moral integrity and ability."
"I have evidence and witnesses."
"Yeah?"
“The evidence and witnesses are out there.”
"Then let me come in after Doctor Su finishes your pulse."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"You are the one I've watched grow up. I can't let such a person ride on your head."
"Thank you, the emperor. In addition, my second brother's biological mother is also involved in military affairs."
The emperor's face suddenly turned dark. "How did she interfere?"
Xue Mingcan said what Aunt Hao did. "Your Majesty, I think she wants to control your generals through those girls. My elder brother used to know the inside story and would not suffer any loss. If you think about who to send to take my elder brother's position, you must tell him about this, so as not to suffer any loss."
"She wants those generals to kill your elder brother without knowing it."
"My elder brother knows, but she is my father's favorite woman, and she gave birth to several children for my father..."
The emperor rubbed the military talisman in his hand. "Your brother just can't bear to leave your father. Don't worry, I just demoted all the generals to soldiers."
"This... Master, if you demote them all to soldiers, they will definitely blame those girls. Those girls are also pitiful. Moreover, they have given birth to children for the generals. If those generals divorce them in order to clear their relationship with Aunt Hao, their children will become motherless children."
The emperor glared at Xue Mingcan. "The kindness of a woman."
Xue Mingcan smiled. "My elder brother also said that I am too soft-hearted and not suitable for joining the army."
"What do you want to do?"
"Those generals have real skills." Otherwise, Aunt Hao would not look down on it. "You just want the new leader to find a way to subdue them. It would be a pity to demote them to a soldier."
"You, you!" The emperor pointed Xue Mingcan twice. "They want to hurt your elder brother, you still plead for them."
"Your Majesty, they are all your soldiers. One less one is your loss."
"..." It would be great if all the generals thought that the soldiers in their hands were his. "Okay. Then I will give them another chance."
"I will thank the emperor for them."
"They shouldn't thank me, they should thank you."
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the eunuch led Doctor Su in. "Prince, Doctor Su is here."
The Emperor Su was about to salute the emperor and said, "Don't give him a gift. Take his pulse quickly. Look how thin he is?"
"yes."
After taking Xue Mingcan's pulse, Doctor Su looked at the emperor and said, "Don't worry, Master Xue Wu is not a big deal. Just rest more and make up for it more, and then it's okay."
"How to make up for it? Go and tell the imperial kitchen. Let them make one quickly, Xiao Wu is still hungry."
"yes."
After Doctor Su followed the little eunuch, the emperor looked at Xue Mingcan and asked, "If Hao's mother and son were really as you said, how would you punish me?"
"They are all my father's treasures, I..."
Before Xue Mingcan finished speaking, the emperor waved his hand. "Okay, stop talking. You go to the side hall to rest. You are just like your elder brother, and you are both concerned about your father."
"Your Majesty, I'll go for a rest." Xue Mingcan stood up from the chair.
"Go. Have a good sleep."
After Xue Mingcan left with the little eunuch, the emperor asked someone to call Zhao Dazhuang, Lord Yu, the head of the Xue clan and Xue Mingcan uncle in.
Xue Mingcan had breakfast in the side hall and woke up after slept. The imperial edict had arrived at Duke Xue's mansion.
Aunt Hao intervened in the military and killed her!
The second young master Xue violated his human ethics and was dismissed from office and removed from the clan!
The Duke of the Kingdom was not strict in managing the family and was incompetent in educating his children. He told him to pass on the position of Duke of the Kingdom to his fifth son Xue Mingcan. He also kept a close visit to his home and thought about his mistakes.
The third son of Xue and the fourth son of Xue will each have 1,000 taels of silver for the family, and will be allowed to move out of the Duke's Mansion within one day. Another official was demoted to the third level.
As soon as the eunuch finished his remarks, the Duke and Aunt Hao and his son collapsed onto the ground.
After receiving the message, Aunt Xue Mingcan repeatedly confirmed it several times! After confirming, Aunt Xue Mingcan couldn't figure it out. Last night, what did the thing he only knew to play with? Why did his brother and Hao family finish it overnight?
In the palace, Xue Mingcan went to the emperor as soon as he received the news.
After performing the ceremony, Xue Mingcan said, "Master, my elder brother is not dead. My elder brother is just missing. You can't give me the title."
The emperor's expression froze. "Your father and Miss Ding have confirmed that. That person is your elder brother."
"My elder brother is not dead. Master, believe me, my elder brother is not dead."
"Do you have evidence?"
"Yes!" Xue Mingcan answered both straightforward and loudly.
The emperor's expression became even more stiff. "What evidence do you have?"
