Chapter 1057: The emperor feels that he has been tricked
When serving the emperor, if you want to live a long life, you must control when you need to be deaf and when you need to be blind.
Eunuch Liu knew this very well.
However, even though he pretended not to hear on the surface, he was actually stirred up in his heart.
A few days ago, the scene where the second prince knelt down to ask for an order to marry Princess Fudd appeared in Eunuch Liu's mind again.
However, what accompanied the appearance of the second prince was the cold face of the third prince.
Eunuch Liu shuddered in his heart and did not dare to think about it any more.
Fortunately, the emperor also changed the subject, so Eunuch Liu no longer had to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
"The old man of the Su family brought it upon himself." Emperor Tianxi said: "Now that I regret it, it will not help... Fuya's family is also stubborn. Not only did they refuse to return to the clan, they actually smashed the plaque..."
Emperor Tianxi had a happy expression on his face.
It was as if he was very happy to see the success of that plaque being smashed.
Eunuch Liu hurriedly laughed and said, "What the emperor said is, how can such a family be worthy of hanging such a plaque? It would be just right if it was smashed."
After speaking, he carefully observed Emperor Tianxi's expression.
Emperor Tianxi nodded in agreement.
He was casually playing with a jade tiger paperweight carved from white jade in his hand.
It can be seen that I am in a very good mood.
When Eunuch Liu saw this, he immediately started to flatter Tangbao's family again.
"Mr. Su has an outspoken temperament, and he doesn't care about his eyes at first glance. He was kicked out of the Su family and suffered so much injustice. Naturally, he will not go back easily. Princess Fude is also a filial person, so she will naturally seek justice for her father.
Get justice..."
When Eunuch Liu said this, he bent lower and lower, and the smile on his face became thicker.
"I heard that Princess Ford not only asked her brothers to smash the plaque, but also earned the Su family 200,000 taels of silver on the spot. She also said that if the money is not available, she can use her shop and homestead to pay for it..."
"I feel that the Su family, a century-old family, may one day lose the ancestral home left by our ancestors to Princess Fude..."
When Eunuch Liu said it at the end, his eyes almost narrowed into two slits with a smile.
The smile on Emperor Tianxi's lips deepened and he said with a smile: "Fuya is just a clever little girl. It's not surprising that the Su family, which has been a century-old family, was emptied by her. Even the money in my treasury is unknown in the future."
How much will go into her pocket..."
Eunuch Liu didn't dare to answer this and started pretending to be deaf and dumb again.
The emperor was in a good mood and seemed to be talking to one of his servants, but in fact he was talking to himself.
When you need him to answer the phone, he does.
When not needed, he is deaf and mute.
At this time, outside the door of the royal study, there was a young eunuch reporting.
"Reporting to your Majesty, the third prince wishes to see you."
"Xuan!" Emperor Tianxi said in a good mood.
Soon, the door to the imperial study room was pushed open, and Xuanyuan Jin strode in.
"My son, I bow to my father."
"Get up."
After Xuanyuan Jin stood up, he looked at Emperor Tianxi and said, "Father, envoys from Northern Qi, Western Qin, Xi Liu, Nan Yi and other countries have arrived and have all been placed in the official post."
Emperor Tianxi nodded and said with sincerity: "The envoys from various countries came to pay their respects this time. On the surface, they are surrendering, being friendly, or wanting to form an alliance. In fact, they all have their own agendas, and they are inseparable from a common goal."
Character."
When Emperor Tianxi said this, his tone became stern.
"Try to find out their intentions and weaknesses so that everything is under control!"
"Yes! I understand!" Xuanyuan Jin replied solemnly.
Emperor Tianxi nodded with satisfaction.
Immediately, I remembered the topic just now.
"Fuya's fifth brother is very knowledgeable, and he was able to win the title of Huiyuan this time." Emperor Tianxi's tone became more relaxed, and he said: "I wonder if you will be surprised by me during the palace examination?"
"Fifth brother was originally very talented and hard-working. Master Yu taught him everything, so his knowledge is naturally solid." Xuanyuan Jin said with a very objective expression.
After finishing speaking, he paused and added: "Fifth brother was born in the countryside. He has been able to sympathize with the sufferings of the people since he was a child and understand all living beings. If he becomes an official in the future, he will definitely be a good official who can worry about the world."
After hearing Xuanyuan Jin's words, Emperor Tianxi showed a thoughtful expression.
You know what your son's temperament is.
There are not many people I can look at!
Now that he is praising the fifth son of the Su family so much, it can be seen that this fifth son of the Su family is indeed good.
Not only is his knowledge good, his character must be better.
Otherwise, given his son's bad temper, he would definitely not praise him so much.
Although Emperor Tianxi felt that there should be a reason for this, Xuanyuan Jin loved Wujiwu, but he could not deny that Su Laowu must have good character and knowledge.
"If this is true, I, Dayan, will have another great talent." Emperor Tianxi's eyes showed a trace of curiosity.
When he went to Daliushu Village, Su Laowu was studying at the county school, but Emperor Tianxi did not see him.
Xuanyuan Jin heard this and said calmly: "Father, if fifth brother can win the first prize in the palace examination, he will win three yuan in a row."
"Jin'er, what are you hinting to my father?" Emperor Tianxi asked with unclear meaning.
Eunuch Liu shrank his neck almost invisibly, and his heart began to beat.
The third prince is getting bolder and bolder.
You dare to say such things.
Isn't this clearly violating the emperor's taboo?
Xuanyuan Jin's expression remained unchanged, and he said loudly: "Why do you think so? If I want my father to appoint the fifth brother as the number one scholar, just say it directly. After all, I am my father's son, and my father is my son."
There is no need to mince words when speaking, even if you want Father to ask for something, you can be straightforward."
When Xuanyuan Jin said this, he frowned and continued: "Does the father think that the relationship between his son and the fifth brother of the Su family is closer?"
Xuanyuan Jin's brows furrowed even more tightly: "He is just an outsider."
The dark clouds in Emperor Tianxi's heart immediately disappeared.
A strong feeling of father-son affection arose in my heart!
My own son is naturally closest to me!
Of course, when a son and a father ask for something, they can speak directly.
Eunuch Liu noticed the change in the emperor's mood.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, the third prince was getting better and better at making the emperor happy.
In comparison, the other princes seemed too inferior.
Emperor Tianxi looked at Xuanyuan Jin with great joy, and said: "Okay! If the fifth son of the Su family is really capable, let me appoint him as the number one scholar, and if he wins three yuan in a row, I will grant a new plaque to the Su family!"
Emperor Tianxi laughed heartily as he spoke.
"Hahaha... The Su family just smashed an old one, and I will give you a new one. However, this plaque is not hung on the Su family, which has been a century-old family, but on the Su family in Daliushu Village!"
"My son, I would like to thank my father on behalf of the Su family!" Xuanyuan Jin saluted and said, "My father is true to his word and will never break his promise."
