The old emperor understood that he was here to warn him, and it was for his own sake. Otherwise, as the chief minister, he would kill the princess of a country without asking, which would be a slap in the face.
It's also strange that Jinghe doesn't live up to expectations. As a princess, she can't find any kind of man, but she just falls in love with such a difficult one.
Originally, the old emperor liked Jinghe very much. He thought that her temperament was very similar to his when he was young and she could stand out among many princesses. However, he did not expect that Jinghe was so arrogant and arrogant that she caused him so much trouble. Ever since he granted her the marriage
After being rejected by Ji Mingxuan, he didn't like to deal with his daughter very much.
I thought that my coldness would calm her down, but I didn't expect that she would go even harder and find someone to assassinate Ji Mingxuan's woman. Isn't this obviously seeking death?
"I will give you an explanation for this matter. Jinghe has indeed been a bit unruly recently."
The old emperor nodded, agreeing to Ji Mingxuan's words. If there was a next time, Jinghe's life and death would be beyond his control.
He is Jinghe's father, but so what. He has many daughters. Jinghe is just the most disobedient of his daughters and can cause trouble for him. Even though he has been warned many times and still causes trouble, he doesn't want to take care of it.
.
Only then was Ji Mingxuan satisfied. He had planned to leave, but then he thought about the mine he had lost, and felt a little angry. He then said, "The matter of Benfu's engagement was well concealed. Jinghe is in the deep palace, so naturally it is impossible to find out easily.
The Third Prince has been having trouble with me recently, and you should know that he has been keeping an eye on your position."
"You mean, Lao San encouraged Jinghe to do these things?"
The old emperor immediately looked at Ji Mingxuan, and when he mentioned the third prince, there was obvious anger in his eyes.
"Otherwise? I have checked and found out that Liu Wentao's daughter Liu Ying came to the palace to see Jinghe a month ago, and Liu Wentao has always had a good personal relationship with the third prince. Don't you understand?"
Ji Mingxuan looked at the emperor in front of him with a sneer. The dragon robe on his body was loose and loose, and he didn't look like an emperor at all.
Although he didn't care about the life and death of the people at all, he did care about the throne, so the third prince, who had been watching the trends clearly, didn't like it.
Of course, Ji Mingxuan's instigation also contributed to this.
"Liu Wentao? Isn't he a royalist?"
The old emperor was a little angry, and his mustache was trembling.
"Loyalists? Haha..."
Ji Mingxuan couldn't help but laugh out loud: "I think you are really old and confused. From the beginning to the end, I am the only royalist faction. If I hadn't supported you, how could you still have done it without asking about political affairs all these years?"
Can you live a peaceful life on this throne?"
The only one who dared to say so blatantly that the emperor was old and foolish was Ji Mingxuan.
However, the emperor was not angry with him yet and trusted what he said.
"This Liu Wentao is really becoming more and more bold. How many times have I said that courtiers are not allowed to have close contact with the princes, but he turns a deaf ear to my words!"
The old emperor slapped the table. He used a lot of strength, but the table did not respond. Over the years, his body has been hollowed out. It is his destiny to be alive and well.
Longer.
The old emperor naturally knew that Ji Mingxuan had always been a royalist, because no matter what happened, Ji Mingxuan was always the first to stand up, either to help him carry it or to help him solve it.
It is precisely because of this that he trusts Ji Mingxuan so much. Even if Ji Mingxuan does not take him seriously, he will not be angry.
He wanted to continue to hold the throne, so he really needed Ji Mingxuan's help.
"There are so many things you don't know. If I hadn't been supporting you, this country would have changed hands long ago. But the third prince still doesn't know what's going on. He only touches my mines. He dares to touch my people."
, you really think too highly of yourself."
Ji Mingxuan said this with a smile on his face, but he didn't seem very angry.
The old emperor was instantly dumbfounded: "You still have mines?"
Ji Mingxuan looked at him with some surprise and asked: "Are you surprised? If I don't have anything useful in my hands, can I help you stay in the country?"
The old emperor suddenly understood, nodded and said: "That's right! You said that the third brother touched your mine, what does he want to do? Replace it?"
Ji Mingxuan said nothing because the meaning was already obvious.
The old emperor imagined for a while and felt that the third child was really rebellious.
If the third child still had him as his father in his heart, he should have told him as soon as he discovered the mine. How to solve it depends on his decision.
But no, the third child was just secretly planning to capture Ji Mingxuan's mine and take it for himself.
Ji Mingxuan owns the mine to protect him, while Laosan owns the mine to go against him.
A biological son is worse than an outsider!
The old emperor was so angry that he trembled all over and asked hurriedly: "Is the mine okay?"
"Whether there is any problem depends on how you deal with it. The third prince has such a big power now, isn't it because of your habit? And that Liu Wentao, who doesn't take sides on the surface, but actually goes to the third prince every day.
If I want to marry my daughter into the third prince's palace, I can only leave you, the emperor, aside."
When he said this, there was a hint of ridicule on his lips. He always spoke like this when talking to the emperor.
The blatant ridicule and disdain made the old emperor a little unhappy at first, but now he is numb and even thinks that Ji Mingxuan should be like this.
Because he was the only one who made such an expression, it meant that the others were no match for him. Even if the sky fell, he would be able to bear it, and the old emperor could still sit back and relax.
"How unreasonable, really unreasonable! Immediately announce Liu Wentao's entry into the palace. I want to ask who he is!"
The old emperor jumped up and ordered the eunuch to call someone. Ji Mingxuan said, "Do you have to be so stupid?"
It's actually quite ironic when he thinks about it. He doesn't understand how such a stupid person could destroy his whole family back then?
The old emperor didn't understand what he meant, so he asked nervously: "Then what do you think should be done?"
"You are the emperor, do you need a reason to demote someone? Why do you need to bring someone in for a confrontation?"
When he said this, Ji Mingxuan's hand on the table wiped the corner of his mouth intentionally or unintentionally, hiding the faint smile.
Demoting an official for no reason is a taboo, but he just wanted the old emperor to do it.
The old emperor lost the support of the people, separated from his sons, had grudges with the officials, and the royal family was in chaos. This was the result he wanted to see most.
The old emperor didn't notice his calculation at all, and nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes, yes, he should be demoted! What position is he in now? Minister, yes, it is Shangshu! Then demote him to be a minister, he
Let the former servant take the position and let him have a taste of being inferior!"
