Emperor Changxing felt a headache after reading the memorial for a while.
boom!
He put down the fold in his hand heavily and rubbed his swollen forehead fiercely.
Upon seeing this, Changlu came over quickly. He massaged Emperor Changxing gently and heavily without saying anything to persuade him.
"Your Majesty, I heard an interesting story by chance. I wonder if your Majesty would like to hear it?"
"Say!" Emperor Changxing was very impatient.
cough!
The old eunuch coughed.
"In ancient times, there was a wealthy man who was extremely wealthy. One day, a slave in his house accidentally smashed a jade bowl. The slave knew that he had caused a big disaster, so he jumped into the well."
Emperor Changxing was puzzled by what he heard and waited impatiently for a long time, but Chang Lu did not continue speaking.
He glared and said, "It's over, where are you coming down?"
"Back to Your Majesty." Changlu chuckled: "That's the end of the story."
"Your Majesty, you see, for that poor slave, breaking a jade bowl would scare him to death. But for the rich man, that jade bowl is not worth mentioning at all. If it is broken, it will kill him."
If it breaks, just clean it up."
"What do you want to say?" Emperor Changxing was thoughtful.
"Your Majesty, you are the lord of the Yunchui Empire and you control the whole world. To Your Majesty, what happens in some small counties is like that dispensable jade bowl. If it breaks, it will be broken. Send someone to clean it.
That’s fine.”
Emperor Changxing reacted, and when he looked at the many memorials on the table, his mood suddenly became much lighter.
He nodded with satisfaction, simply piled up the memorials on the table, and asked, "Is there anything interesting outside?"
Changlu chuckled.
In addition to the upcoming Dragon Boat Festival, the entire imperial capital's high-ranking officials are trying their best to decide who should be sent to quell the civil unrest in the three counties to the west.
However, these matters had already been written down in memorials and placed on Emperor Changxing's Long Case, so he didn't need to bother mentioning them anymore.
"The people at the emperor's feet are living and working in peace and contentment. There are really many interesting things." Changlu picked a few and told the story of Ren Ning's treat.
"Oh?" This kind of relaxed thing really made Emperor Changxing laugh. "So our newly promoted General Xuanwu completely ignores the provocative methods of those young talents?"
"It's really interesting."
"Your Majesty," Chang Lu smiled: "There is no luck in the battlefield, and General Wei has a pair of fiery eyes. If General Ren is provoked, he will be led around by others. I am afraid no one will dare to let him do it at such a young age.
Stand alone."
Emperor Changxing nodded and had a better impression of Ren Ning. He sighed: "What a pity."
The Xingluo Legion already had many powerful generals, but recently most of the capable generals came from this legion, which made Emperor Changxing happy but also a little uneasy.
Changlu quickly changed the topic. Half jokingly and half as a story, he told Xiao Gang about Xiao Gang's worries about his fiancée's safety.
snort!
Emperor Changxing's face looked a little ugly.
He didn't want to get involved in the trivial matters of the minister's family. But now Zhongyong Boxiao was leading troops in the north to resist Beixiong's army. The family behind him couldn't be in chaos.
Moreover, the empire is now in turmoil due to internal and external troubles.
No matter how foolish Emperor Changxing was and how much he advocated the order of elders and younger ones, he still knew that a second son like Xiao Gang who could fight was definitely much more important than a sickly heir apparent.
"Let Marquis Yongchang come into the palace to see me."
Inexplicably, Marquis Yongchang hurriedly entered the palace, and after a while he left the palace in disgrace. He turned around and went to Zhongyongbo's Mansion to see his grandson.
Xiao Rui has been in a bad mood recently. Unfortunately, due to his health, he can't even get angry at this time.
The boys knew that the situation was not good, so they all stayed away. He sat slumped on the chair alone, full of anger and didn't know who to vent his anger on.
Xiao Rui wanted to do something with Xiao Gang's cousin, but before the engagement between a wealthy family was finalized, both parties would keep it strictly confidential for the sake of each other's reputation.
Therefore, he didn't know about the news that the Liu family girl wanted to go to the Beijing Capital, so naturally he didn't have any evil intentions.
If he had any bad intentions and was scolded by his grandfather, Xiao Rui would have nothing to say. But he didn't, but the blame was still slapped on his head, and there was no room for argument.
"Xiao Gang!" Xiao Rui was so angry that he almost broke his teeth.
Ren Ning and the others did not know what happened in the palace and Zhongyong's residence, so they immediately sent guards south to pick them up after they came out of the restaurant.
As the saying goes, don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.
Seventh Prince's Mansion, main hall.
Chen Xiujian walked around anxiously. In addition to the elder Chang Shi, there were also several subordinates scratching their faces and beards.
Ever since the last time he went out of the city on behalf of the emperor to greet the triumphant team of prisoners, Chen Xiujian's heart became active, always thinking about how to go further.
However, he just received news that the military ranks of Ren Ning and others had been promoted yesterday.
Now the Seventh Prince's Mansion is in a state of disarray.
The last time the king went out of the city, Chen Xiujian thought that even if he didn't do it perfectly, he definitely did a good job. However, after the incident, there was no response from the harem. He didn't even send a palace official to reply. He seemed to have completely forgotten about it.
General.
This made him angry and depressed, but there was nothing he could do.
"Your Highness," the loyal elder Shi had no choice but to stand up and persuade, "As the saying goes, we gain our lives but lose our luck. Everything should be accepted calmly. Perhaps your Majesty is secretly observing all the princes."
Chang Shi lived a long time and met the young Emperor Changxing.
Before he ascended to the throne of God, he was just an idle prince who didn't care about anything. Maybe now Emperor Changxing sees that his son also likes this tone.
"Calm down?" Chen Xiujian snorted angrily.
Which of his brothers didn't cross the sea to show off their magical powers in order to stand out in front of Emperor Changxing? There was never any indisputable idea.
It's a pity that Chen Xiujian doesn't even have a wife, so he has nowhere to fight if he wants to.
"What's going on with the Queen! I've been an adult for so long, why don't you help me marry a princess as soon as possible?"
After thinking about it, he even fell in love with the queen.
The old man looked at his master speechlessly.
If the queen randomly picks a princess and stuffs her over, then Chen Xiujian will really be finished.
It would be best for him to be promoted to prince as soon as possible, so that other ministers can see a glimmer of hope and send their legitimate daughter over on their own initiative.
"Your Highness, Your Highness!"
I was feeling depressed here when the doorman suddenly screamed and stumbled into the main hall.
"Someone is coming from the palace!" He stretched his neck and said in a hoarse voice: "It seems that he also brought..."
It took him a long time to choke out the word "imperial edict".
Buzz!
Several people in the hall looked at each other, each in disbelief.
Old Chang Shi's body swayed even more. Finally he stood firm, and he slapped the disloyal disciple to the ground.
"Your Highness?" he reminded the lost master.
Chen Xiujian almost smiled as if he had just woken up from a dream. He quickly tidied up his appearance before going out to greet him.
After a long while, he had a bright yellow imperial edict in his hand, but his eyes were still a little confused.
"Chang Shi, my father asked this prince to quell the civil unrest in the three counties to the west?"
"Your Highness, this is what the imperial edict says. You read it right!" Old Chang Shi happily stroked his gray beard.
"But..." Chen Xiujian swallowed anxiously: "This prince has never fought in a war."
"Your Highness, please don't worry. You are a prince, as long as the people are gone. As for fighting wars and quelling chaos, the generals can worry about it."
Old Chang Shi laughed so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes.
"Your Majesty, this is to increase your merit. Once the chaos is over, Your Highness, you will definitely be promoted to a prince."
