The night passed without incident, and the time soon came to the next morning. Before Mao hour, the sky was gray, but the lights were already on in the backyard of the Hou Mansion.
Shen Youwei yawned while adjusting Su Cheng's official uniform: "This emperor is serious. Why does he have to go to court so often and so early?"
The morning court in Daliang is not held every day, but once every two days. If there is a festival, a big funeral or a big wedding, the court will be canceled. However, the time for the court is very early, and you have to arrive at the palace at about the same time!
Mao hour, which is five o'clock in the morning, including the time to get up, wash up and rush on the road, the high officials in the court have to get up at four o'clock!
Su Cheng was also a little speechless about this. Who wouldn't be angry to get up so early?
"Madam, you should go to bed early. I will ask Da Zhuang and Niu Chong to accompany them to the palace." Su Cheng reached out and stroked Shen Youwei's hair, with a flash of distress in his eyes.
When he gets up, his wife has to get up too.
"Okay, then my husband, you go and wash up quickly. I'm going to catch up on my sleep. I have to go out to buy some things in the morning." Shen Youwei yawned, stretched and went back to the couch to sleep.
Of course, buying things is secondary. Her most important purpose today is to find Prince Zhao's Mansion.
Su Cheng looked at his wife who was going back to sleep, shook her head with a chuckle, then went to wash up, then rode towards the palace with Niu Chong and Tian Dazhuang.
There was no light in the gray sky and dark streets. Only Niu Chong and Tian Dazhuang holding torches could illuminate the way forward.
Suddenly, Niu Chong said: "Master Hou, you treated the King of Wu and the King of Liang like you did yesterday, they won't do anything to you in the morning, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Tian Dazhuang, who had always been stubborn, stared: "How dare they! I will go in with Mr. Hou later. If they dare to harm Mr. Hou, I will not be the first to spare them!"
Su Cheng almost laughed angrily when he heard this. If you still think you can't spare these two princes, I'm afraid you won't even be able to enter the palace!
Shaking his head, Su Cheng said with a smile: "Don't worry about this matter. I have my own countermeasures. Besides, even if the other party is really unreasonable, I still have the support of the emperor."
If the emperor wanted to take advantage of him, he would not let the emperor stay out of the matter. This matter would definitely drag the emperor into trouble.
It is his principle that I will not offend others unless they offend me!
Since he dared to take action against those two princes, he naturally had a plan and would not do it for no reason!
While talking, the three of them had arrived outside the palace. Su Cheng dismounted and asked Niu Chong and Tian Dazhuang to wait outside the palace before walking towards the palace.
The majestic palace looked particularly solemn under the lights. Su Cheng walked through the huge square and came to wait at the steps outside Tai Chi Hall.
At this time, many officials had gathered on the steps. When they saw Su Cheng coming, some cast a surprised look, and some immediately moved away from Su Cheng, as if they didn't want to stand with Su Cheng.
Su Cheng was not surprised by this. These people all knew what happened yesterday. How dare they stand with him? If they were misunderstood by the two princes, it would be troublesome.
Those two princes are not good people. They suffered such a big loss yesterday and lost such a big person. How could they not take revenge!
Just when Su Cheng was deep in thought, three people came from a distance. Su Cheng looked up and saw that it was King Zhao, King Wu and King Liang!
Su Cheng smiled slightly: "I have met three princes!"
The three of them looked at Su Cheng coldly and said nothing.
Su Cheng was not angry. He looked at King Zhao and asked, "I still want to ask King Zhao. I wonder where I want to stand?"
There are many rules in Daliang. There are also rules for queuing up in the morning. Once you stand in the wrong position, you will be in trouble. Su Cheng just came to Kyoto and didn't know where he should stand.
If based on official position, he should stand at the front of the second rank; if based on title, he should stand on the third rank side.
King Zhao glanced at Su Cheng coldly: "You don't even know these rules, huh, you should go back and read more first!"
Everyone around heard the words and laughed.
This King Zhao is mocking Marquis Wu'an.
Su Cheng chuckled softly when he heard this: "I have lived in the small place of Liuzhou since I was a child, so I naturally don't know the royal rules. However, as the elder and in charge of the clan's mansion, King Zhao actually ignored my inquiry.
I wonder if you have violated the responsibilities of the clan? If your majesty knows this, will you, King Zhao, still be able to hold the position of the clan?"
King Zhao's face changed greatly when he heard this, and his words seemed murderous.
It’s just that I didn’t tell you where to stand, so you had to step up to the plate and directly move out of the emperor?
"Do you think that with such words, I can tell you where to stand?" King Zhao stared at Su Cheng with a cold look in his eyes.
This guy keeps getting in trouble with me again and again. It’s really disgusting!
King Wu couldn't see it. He took a step forward, pretended to be a peacemaker and said with a smile: "Marquis Wu'an, what you said is wrong. King Zhao is a Zongling, but he has no responsibility to teach you.
You should understand things by yourself!"
With such a good opportunity, it’s natural to deal with Su Cheng together!
I asked you to trick me yesterday, and I will make you pay the price today!
When the surrounding ministers saw this, they all retreated a little. Before they even went to court, these few started to work. It was better to stay away so as not to cause trouble to the fish pond.
At this time, Liang Wang also smiled and stepped forward to look at Su Cheng, and said slowly: "Wu'an Hou, this is your fault. What kind of status is King Zhao? There are countless things to deal with every day. You can't do such small things."
Don’t bother King Zhao, just follow what King Zhao said and go back and study hard, hahahaha~”
Everyone burst out laughing when they heard this. They finally figured out that these three princes were going to deal with Marquis Wu'an together.
Su Cheng shrugged upon hearing this: "In that case, I will listen to the three princes and go back to study now. By the way, when your majesty asks you later, the three princes will tell you the truth."
After saying that, Su Cheng turned around and walked out of the palace.
Everyone was immediately petrified.
What is this operation?
You actually just left as soon as you said you would?
Is the Marquis of Wu'an a coward, or does he have the courage to be so arrogant and not even attend the morning court because of the support of someone behind him?
The three kings were even more stunned.
What's going on? That guy Su Cheng really doesn't want to go to court?
If Su Cheng doesn't go to court, the plan they prepared today will be ruined. For this plan, they notified their subordinates overnight to cooperate.
If Su Cheng didn't go to court, wouldn't he have escaped disaster?
No, we can't let Su Cheng leave today!
Thinking of this, the three kings looked at each other.
Later, Liang Wang Su Xing shouted to Su Cheng: "Wu'an Hou, you have to think clearly, if you don't go to court today, your Majesty will punish you. If you don't go to court without any reason, this crime is not a small one!"
Su Cheng didn't look back: "I will tell your majesty that it was the three princes who asked me to go back to study. This matter is your responsibility. Anyway, everyone knows what happened just now, and your majesty can find out in one investigation!"
When the three kings heard this, their expressions changed greatly.
This bitch, Marquis Wu An, is setting himself up!
No, Su Cheng must not be allowed to leave today, otherwise they will be in big trouble!
