What the emperor said was persuasion, but to the ears of Song Guogong and Prince Ning, he was scolding them for their ability to stir up trouble but not their ability to extinguish it.
The two people understood, but they could only pretend to be confused, because they really couldn't do anything better after this. They could only hope that the emperor would come, and they couldn't really let the Queen Mother go to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment to find the prince's son and concubine Jingnan.
The emperor looked at them as if they were trash. Eunuch Yuan served tea to calm the emperor down.
At this time, another father-in-law came in from outside and said, "Your Majesty, Prince Jingnan and Prince Xin are here."
"Hurry up," the emperor said immediately.
The father-in-law quickly stepped back. When the father-in-law stepped out of the royal study, Prince Jingnan and Prince Xin came over. The father-in-law hurriedly stood aside to make way for them.
The prince and old prince Xin entered the imperial study and stepped forward.
The prince saluted the emperor, and old prince Xin asked, "Why did the emperor bring me and King Jingnan into the palace in such a hurry?"
The emperor did not answer directly, but rushed the eight hundred miles sent by Marquis Zhongyong to Eunuch Yuan to show to the old prince Xin.
Prince Xin scanned the letter and was very excited, "This is a great good thing for our Ning Dynasty."
With that said, he handed the letter to King Jingnan.
The emperor held his forehead and said, "It is a good thing, but if it is not handled properly, the good thing will turn into a disaster."
Prince Xin asked, "What's wrong?"
The emperor sighed, "The contract signed by Marquis Zhongyong and Dong Jue was to start selling snow salt to them in three months. However, the only person who could refine the snow salt was the imperial uncle's granddaughter Princess Jingnan. The Queen Mother imprisoned them."
In the prison of the Ministry of Punishments, the two of them were wronged and refused to come out. I sent Eunuch Yuan to invite them, and the Queen Mother asked Prince Ning and Duke Guo of Song to go to the prison to deliver the order, but they were not allowed to enter the palace."
"There is no room for delay in this matter, so I have come to discuss it with the emperor's uncle and King Jingnan."
The prince immediately said, "This matter concerns the peace of the border and the well-being of the people. There is no room for willfulness. It would be easier if Quanzi was just one person. I would just send someone to tie him into the palace. But this time I have wronged the imperial concubine. Quanzi can spare no effort for the imperial concubine."
If he goes out, even if I personally tie him up, I may not be able to tie him into the palace. Your Majesty, please do not place your hopes on me."
The emperor looked at Old Prince Xin again, and Old Prince Xin said, "I am in debt to their family. The Emperor promised not to hold them accountable for falsely transmitting the imperial edict first, but broke the promise later. This was a mistake. I want to say it more emphatically."
, you have no choice but to recognize me as your adopted grandfather."
adoptive grandfather
The old prince bit these three words very hard.
Why just the stepfather?
Not only did a bunch of courtiers block it, the emperor did not allow Su Hongshan to recognize his ancestor and return to the clan, but Prince Ning and Song Guogong were very involved in this matter.
Prince Ning and Duke Song wanted to turn around and leave, so they could only suppress their anger and remain silent.
The emperor stood up and said, "Uncle, it involves the stability of the imperial court. You cannot refuse."
Old Prince Xin frowned and said, "Of course I know this, but this time the Queen Mother did the right thing. After all, she is also the granddaughter of the minister and the son of King Jingnan, and with the emperor's understanding, she was escorted all the way in a prison car.
When they entered the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, they were escorted by Hongshan himself. If not, they would rather die than leave the prison of the Ministry of Punishment."
The emperor nodded, "I know they have been humiliated this time, so let's do this. The emperor will take my imperial edict to pick them up."
Song Guogong and Prince Ning looked at each other quickly and blurted out, "Your Majesty..."
The emperor looked at him and said, "Song Guogong has something to say?"
In the royal study, everyone looked at Song Guogong. Song Guogong swallowed back his words in time and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
Yu Hu was sent to pick them up. If the prince and concubine of Jingnan didn't give them face, what was waiting for them would really be a prison sentence.
It's just the emperor's imperial edict...
Even Prince Ning had never sat on it, and the emperor actually let two juniors sit on his throne. From now on, the prince, prince and concubine of Jingnan can walk around in the capital.
Normally, Prince Ning and Song Guogong would have persuaded the emperor to give up this idea no matter what they said. But now, do they dare to persuade him? If the emperor also gives up his job, then the Queen Mother will be even more in trouble. This chapter has been completed!
