Yan Qing asked coldly, he and his wife had already stayed away from the court, and Rong Che had even voluntarily left the Fengrong royal family. Why does the prince's alcohol involve him now?
"The matter started after the Queen Mother fell ill." Cui Bo said with a wry smile.
When the prince openly talked back and made the queen mother angry, he went to apologize to the queen mother under pressure from the emperor.
The queen mother cried miserably, saying that she had worked hard to raise the prince for so many years, and that he had just been made the prince and hurt her heart like this, etc.
The prince had just been reprimanded, and even if he was impatient, he could only listen patiently.
After finally waiting for the imperial doctor to check his pulse, the Queen Mother finally shed her tears and let the prince leave.
In recent years, there have been courtiers who have taken refuge in the prince, and they rushed over to express their loyalty. They expressed their dissatisfaction with the emperor's treatment of the prince, implying that the emperor favored the second prince, who was the queen's legitimate son.
There were people around the prince who often reported that they heard people in the harem saying that he was not as good as the second prince. After hearing the instigation from the courtiers, they felt even more grudge against the second prince. The courtiers thought it was time, so they mentioned Yan Xi’s five years.
The appointment is about to expire.
The prince didn't know about it, so he asked about the reason. The courtiers added insult to injury by saying that the late emperor's earnest request to stay was due to Yan Xi's unwillingness to give up his power. They also mentioned that Yan Qing was breaking into the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion and whipping the Imperial Preceptor, causing the incident to occur.
The previous Imperial Master resigned in anger and disappeared.
The prince's attention shifted from Yan Xi's problem to Yan Qingzheng.
The courtier was stunned. He didn't do much research on the rumored Prince Xuan. He entered the court after Yan Qingzheng's wedding to Rong Che, so he didn't know much about him.
But when faced with the prince's inquiry, he couldn't say he didn't know, so he told the prince his opinion.
"It is said that in the first few years, Prince Xuan made some contributions to the Fengrong Kingdom, so he was awarded the title of prince because of his military merits. However, since the wedding, let alone the military merits, he has not even fulfilled his duty of spreading the branches of the royal family. So far, he has been
Empty! And the late emperor was particularly fond of Prince Xuan, and specifically approved him to build a villa outside Dongling Pass near Miao'er Mountain!" The courtier clicked his tongue and shook his head, "I have been receiving support from the imperial court for many years, but I have never served the imperial court again.
You didn’t put in any effort!”
The prince's face darkened, and the courtiers became more angry when they saw this: "Besides, Princess Xuan is a cultivator of immortality. As long as she lives on, the court must continue to support them! This is the will of the late emperor, and in the future, His Highness will be honored.
Even if you ascend to the great treasure, you must not violate it!"
The prince snorted with a dark face: "The imperial court does not support useless people!"
The courtier rolled his eyes and suddenly became clearer. He was interested in Yan Xi's position, and now his mentor was targeting Yan Xi's position. If Yan Xi could be pulled down by him and his mentor get what he wanted,
Then in the future, if your mentor is promoted, you will be able to take that position.
Although Yan Xi and Prince Xuan are the husband-in-law, this is too euphemistic. If they can't be implicated, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?
He still wanted to make amends, but the prince's mind was already filled with the situation of Prince Xuan, and he didn't care about anything else at all.
This time the prince learned the lesson and instigated the courtiers to find someone from the Yushitai to come forward.
After all, the Yushitai is not monolithic, and there are always some people who want to take sides as soon as possible.
Later, when a censor surnamed Cao mentioned that the salary of the royal family members who had not contributed should be reduced, the emperor actually did not think of Rong Che, so he pondered for a moment and nodded involuntarily.
However, the prince raised his lips and thought that the emperor was also dissatisfied with Prince Xuan, so he was secretly proud.
Li Xi immediately sensed that Cao Yushi's purpose was not that simple, so she went down to investigate and found out that it was for her, so she laughed sarcastically.
Although the five-year period has not yet come, if the emperor really has this intention, he would be eager to leave the court as soon as possible.
Passively leaving would not be considered a violation of the agreement with the late emperor.
The prince also has some ability to stir up people's hearts. Or perhaps it can be said that his success in becoming the prince was favored by some people. This fact itself is also beneficial to them, so they naturally obey his words.
This matter has been brewing for a while and finally broke out.
They didn't plan the day well and chose to have the attack on Yan Shuangyu's memorial day!
The emperor was sitting on the throne, looking gloomily at his eldest son, who had fought hard to secure the position of prince. He was secretly shaken in his heart, wondering whether under his strict supervision, the prince still had contacts with some people with ulterior motives?
To put it bluntly, the royal family members are all his relatives and elders. You can also consider lowering their salaries. After all, we are working hard now, and it is necessary to reduce some expenses. But you can't choose a family member like Prince Xuan who has made great military achievements in the past.
!
It was also Rong Che who became famous at a young age. The prince and some young officials did not know about his great achievements. But when the prince chose to target Rong Che, didn't he inquire in detail?
No one with any brains in the world would choose Rong Che as a target, because everyone knew that the emperor had a close relationship with this little uncle who was one year apart.
The prince was banned again, and the emperor was so angry that he asked him to go to the Ministry of Rites to learn etiquette.
"This was only a few months ago. The prince has not been released yet, but I heard from people in private that the prince already hates Prince Xuan, and once he succeeds to the throne, he will never let it go!"
Cui Bo shook his head: "The prince dare not resent your majesty, so he can only vent his anger on Prince Yu Xuan."
"Approving anger? What else does he want?" Yan Qing was sneering.
"There is no action at the moment, but according to people around the prince, the prince is still planning something."
Yan Qing was thinking for a while with her eyes close to her eyes, and couldn't help but frown slightly: "What a worry-free thing!"
Cui Bo lowered his head quietly, saying that Yan Qingzheng had transcended the mortal world and could say whatever he wanted, but Cui Bo was still a mortal and there were some things he couldn't say.
Kui didn't know about the existence of the Slaughter Demon Lord. He only knew that Rong Che had just broken through the innate and his talent was not very good, so he didn't understand Yan Qingzheng's defense of Rong Che.
"To be honest, the most taboo thing for cultivators is to let go of constant emotions. Your talent determines that you are destined to be the best in the world. Don't always let those meaningless emotions hold you back." Kui reminded others with her rare meddling.
one time.
Yan Qingzheng just laughed it off. She had heard this kind of words countless times from beginning to end and could no longer shake her mind.
She just didn't understand that if they were to change places today, would they also persuade Rong Che to give up on herself?
"Your Majesty is a sensible person. I will not get involved in this kind of thing. But if my parents are involved, Uncle Cui, you must tell me." Yan Qingzheng said.
"Don't worry, Miss Seventh." Cui Bo assured him by patting his chest, and then asked: "Does Miss Seventh want to go back to the capital for a visit?"
"I won't go. Fellow Daoist Kui and I have important matters to attend to."
After separating from Cui Bo, Yan Qingzheng still couldn't swallow her breath. She thought that such an indifferent person like Rong Che had promised the late emperor to protect Fengrong for a hundred years. How could he just be greedy for that little salary?
To be honest, if it weren't for Rong Che's super tenacious soul over the years, the Slaughter Demon Lord would have taken over his body long ago and could do whatever he wanted.
And take the case of the siege of the Nine Pylon Demonic Cultivators some time ago, wasn't it the result of Rong Che's discovery of the Demonic Puppet Base in Miao'er Mountain and the revelation of the Great Elder's conspiracy?
The reason why he was able to agree to the Demon Lord Slaughter so quickly was because the headquarters of Jiuyou Sect was within the territory of Fengrong, and most of its disciples were Fengrong people. Once they caused harm, the first to suffer would be
Fengrong people! As for justice and mission, those are not the reasons that moved Rong Che.
But Rong Che did all these things silently. Although he had scruples as a demon cultivator, it was not because he promised the late emperor to protect Feng Rong!
It's ridiculous and hateful that the prince actually said that Rong Che was taking his salary!
It really made Yan Qingzheng's chest heave with anger, and he couldn't help but send a letter to Rong Che Feijian telling him about the situation.
And Rong Che's reply made her even more confused.
"In this case, I will ask myself to give up my salary, so as not to embarrass the emperor."
Yan Qingzheng could only reply that he was happy as long as he was happy, and then asked him if he would still abide by the century-old guardianship agreement with the late emperor, and he was naturally answered in the affirmative.
"The hundred-year agreement has nothing to do with salary."
He said so.
Yan Qingzheng's anger stopped abruptly. It was not for salary in the first place... At this point, Yan Qingzheng finally gave up.
Kui wouldn't bother with a mere mortal empire. He followed Yan Qingzheng and wandered around the world, using the mentality of humans observing the living conditions of ants.
The sorrows, joys, love and affection of mortals could no longer move him. Seeing mortals struggling to live or die because of some property or feelings, he curled his lips and said, "We have been fighting for just a few decades, but in the end we are just a wisp of lonely souls."
Soil, why bother!"
Yan Qingzheng disagreed: "Whether they are cultivators or mortals, aren't they all trying to live seriously? The only difference is the length of time."
Aoi didn't agree with it at first, but after thinking about it carefully, there was really no difference.
Immortals look at mortals and think that their lives are too short and fighting is pointless. But mortals also look at ants' short lives. Why do they work so hard?
In the same way, immortals have the life span of immortals, mortals have the life span of mortals, and ants have the life span of ants. But no matter how long it is, for them, it is a lifetime!
You are born and lived, and every minute and second belongs to you. How can you not fight hard?
Aoi's stubborn heart began to change. He himself was extremely negative and refused to practice because he was trapped in the Miao Realm and had no future. However, this trip made him suddenly realize that ants are greedy for life, but he, an immortal, got into trouble.
To give up a great opportunity and passively slow down work is indeed a bit disrespectful to Wang's preference.
Kui slowly changed his mind, and then realized that Yan Qing was taking him to the uninhabited indeed.
"Where is this? There's not even a ghost here, why did you bring me here?" Kui was unhappy. The scenery was not interesting, and he was not very idle. The king's people came after him.
He also wanted to take a good look at the various conditions in the world.
"There is a sect of cultivating immortals nearby, called the Wuyin Sect..." Yan Qingzheng raised the corner of his lips, "I just have a bit of a feud with them. Do you want to see how I find trouble?"
Kui's eyes suddenly lit up and she smiled: "I'm really looking forward to it!"
(Some time ago, Nalan Ruying’s sect was called the Four Umbrella Sect. Sorry, it’s actually the Wuyin Sect.)
