Jun Jiuling - Chapter 673

[Chapter 106]

When Huang Cheng came to Qinzheng Hall, Yuan Bao was holding tea for the emperor.

“Your Majesty, we are so angry with that.” He said in a low voice.

“It wasn’t enough for me to pretend to be a grandson before, and now I have to pretend to be a grandson.” The emperor said angrily.

Their dialogue was in Shandong dialect. Although they were born in the capital, the empress sent him to a fief early. The emperor and the prince were reluctant, and other princes did not open the palace to go to the fief so early, but the empress said That’s all for other princes, because the prince born to her is no exception.

The emperor also knew that the queen had always been upright, so he could only sigh and be pleased to send the king of Qi away.

Although the wet nurses and others who followed were all from the palace, the palace was complicated, with servants bought locally and gifts from local officials. There were many local people in the palace, so King Qi still learned the local dialect and received a letter from the queen. After the letter, King Qi began to speak the local dialect more deliberately, which gradually became a habit. Later, when he went to Beijing to celebrate the emperor’s birthday, because this Shandong dialect was also teased by other imperial relatives, the emperor was furious.

Yuan Bao thought about what happened back then and sighed a little.

“That’s right, Your Majesty, don’t be like this,” he said. “He offended you, you don’t like him, just drive him out. You are the emperor, and you speak your mind.”

This is the truth, and it’s comfortable to listen to. , Of course, those ministers are reluctant to tell the truth, it seems that praising him will make him a traitor and lose face in front of the world.

Well, not everyone, that Ning Yan’s nephew Ning Yunzhao is different.

After thinking about it, the emperor smiled, feeling a little better.

“It’s not that easy,” he said.

“It’s not that easy. How can an official be wrong? Slaves don’t believe it.” Yuan Bao said.

This is also the truth. No one is perfect and no gold is barefoot. As long as you have the heart, you can always find mistakes. The emperor laughed.

“Yeah, take your time.” His eyes were a little annoyed and a little gloomy, “I am sorry for him, it is he who is sorry for me.”

There was news from the eunuch that Huang Cheng had arrived.

Yuan Bao hurriedly wanted to retire.

“You stay.” The emperor said, stroking the memorial in front of him, “What I want to talk about is about Deshengchang, you also listen to it.

” Yuan Bao dropped his hand and

stepped aside in response.

Huang Cheng was called in, trembling about to kowtow, if at other times the emperor would definitely stop him from sitting, but this time the emperor just looked down at the memorial and didn’t seem to see him.

Huang Cheng knelt down and called to His Majesty.

“It’s not enough for you to borrow Lu Yunqi’s things. Are you going to borrow Cheng Guogong’s things?” The emperor said without raising his head, “Is there a hurry to reward his people?”

Huang Cheng hurriedly bowed his head.

on the ground.

“I dare not.” He said in a trembling voice.

The emperor threw the memorial on the table with a snap.

“Why don’t you dare? You dare to lie about King Huai’s being obstructed by evil, and dare to let Lu Yunqi guard the palace of King Huai for you, why don’t you dare to beat Duke Cheng first and then win over?” he shouted, “In short, what are you? Everyone outside is a good person, so let me be a bad person, right?”

Hearing this, Huang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and Lu Yunqi did the right thing.

It was really appropriate to guard Prince Huai’s mansion and not let Prince Chengguo’s prince enter the door.

Lu Yunqi would definitely not hide the fact that His Majesty was looking for him in private, but if he asked him to speak when the emperor asked De Shengchang, he could not tell the emperor.

This is the most taboo of the emperor. Lu Yunqi can only be used by him alone, and Lu Yunqi used by ministers is unreliable.

But guarding Prince Huai’s mansion and preventing Prince Chengguo from approaching, this matter is no problem.

You have to do things like this to avoid being suspected.

Commander Lu achieved such a status with such a lowly status, and it was not just bad luck.

“Your Majesty, the old minister dare not.” Huang Cheng burst into tears and kowtowed again and again, “This minister is worried about King Huai, if King Huai does something wrong, His Majesty will suffer from it, and if the minister cares about it, it will be messy, and I would rather be wrong a hundred times. Don’t dare to let it go once, as for rewarding virtue and prosperity, it is not for the sake of Duke Cheng, nor is it the credit of Duke Cheng, it belongs to His Majesty, it is His Majesty’s people, it is His Majesty’s people for Your Majesty is devoted to serving the country, but this minister can’t see how Duke Cheng is doing what his own people do, all his own merits.”

Yes, that’s his, the emperor looked at Huang Cheng, who was kowtowing. Shen Shen, his heart was full of anger and sullenness, but it became Duke Cheng’s bag.

He raised his hand to pat a few cases.

“Enough!” he shouted.

Huang Cheng immediately stopped crying and kowtow, and leaned on the ground in silence.

The emperor sighed.

“If you have something to say, what a proper way to cry!” he shouted.

Huang Cheng wiped his tears and raised his head.

“I was in a panic in my heart, lest I do wrong, fall into His Majesty and injustice,” he said.

The emperor sighed and said nothing.

“Your Majesty, this minister is not deceiving. It is selfish to ask Your Majesty to reward Deshengchang.” Huang Cheng raised his head and said.

The emperor looked at him.

“The state affairs are so difficult and complicated.” Huang Cheng went on to say, “First, there were wars that cost the people and money, and now there are hundreds of thousands of refugees waiting to be resettled. The rewards for the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and generals such as Duke Cheng have exhausted the treasury. Your Majesty, I am so worried that it is difficult to fall asleep.”

He looked at the emperor cautiously.

“Since De Shengchang is so rich and dedicated to serving the country, it is better for them to pay for the refugees.” The

emperor’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Yep, that’s how he got his money back.

Yes, it was his money.

The emperor sat up straight.

“It’s just that it will cost a lot, is Deshengchang willing?” he said hesitantly.

A smile appeared on Huang Cheng’s mouth.

“Is there a king and a minister on the shore of the land.” He said, “What’s more, it’s not for nothing, it’s just a temporary loan, and the Fang family is given a name and a lot of money, so that they can honor their ancestors. Why don’t you want to?”

He said with a smile.

“Life is alive, and the name is left in the history, and money is nothing but dung. The Fang family is so rich, and naturally knows how much grace this is.” The

emperor looked down at the memorial on the table and took a tick from the red pen.

“Deliberate on this with the Cabinet,” he said.

Huang Cheng leaned over and kowtowed.

“Your Majesty,” he said loudly, raising his hands.

Yuan Bao, who was on the side, came over and took the memorial and handed it to Huang Cheng.

Huang Cheng raised his head, as if he saw Yuan Bao only at this moment, a slight surprise flashed in his eyes.

“Eunuch Yuan, long time no see.” He said.

Yuan Bao smiled at him and stepped back without saying a word.

…………

………….

“I was going to invite the adults, but after hearing the eunuch’s words suddenly, His Majesty changed his mind.” A Jin Yiwei whispered.

Lu Yunqi sat on the chair, turning a small dagger with a blank expression, as if listening to him and seeming to be lost.

“Why did Yuan Bao suddenly return to the capital? He seems to be doing some errand for His Majesty for so many years.” Jiang Qianhu said aside, “Would you like to check him…”

Lu Yunqi raised his hand.

“Since it’s His Majesty’s errand, we can’t investigate,” he said.

Echido hurriedly responded.

Lu Yunqi waved his hand, and the Jin Yiwei retreated.

“Your Majesty has always trusted your lord. As soon as this surnamed Yuan came, His Majesty saw that he did not see your lord. I was worried that this person surnamed Yuan was not good.” Jiang Qianhu said in a low voice.

“Believe it or not, it depends on doing things.” Lu Yunqi said, “Everyone does his own thing, and each gets his own trust, so there is nothing to worry about.”

Jiang Qianhu replied.

“Also, is there no news about the woman in Guanmiao?” Lu Yunqi asked suddenly.

Echido shook his head.

“It’s been over a year, and it just disappeared out of thin air,” he said in a low voice.

Lu Yunqi pressed the dagger in his hand on the table.

“There is nothing in this world that happens out of thin air,” he said.

He stood up and retracted his hand. The dagger had already sunk into the table and only the hilt was left.

“Keep checking,” he said.

Echido said yes.
