Chapter 780 Longyan is furious
When Zhang Dingnan and Han Feng parted.
In the main hall of Ganlan Empire Palace, all officials have retreated and the door of the hall is closed.
At this moment, after Emperor Wu sat high on the dragon's desk, his face was expressionless. A white middle-aged man was bent in the hall, wearing a first-class official uniform and a slight look of dust on his face.
At this moment, he faced the Dragon Case and bowed to report to Emperor Wu in fact what happened in the Zhenbei Palace.
When he heard that the King of Zhenbei was postponed to marry King of Zhennan until three years later.
Emperor Wu, who had his eyes lowered and closed his eyes to rest, breathed evenly and became slightly higher.
Immediately, he suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes as sharp as a blade!
“Bold!”
Emperor Wu suddenly shouted angrily and slapped the dragon case with a palm. A violent wind swept across the hall, lifting the pens and memorials on the dragon case directly and spilling the hall!
Seeing Emperor Wu getting angry, Shangguan Qingfeng, who had just rushed back to the imperial capital from Zhenbei Palace, hurriedly leaned over and knelt on the ground.
"Have your majesty calm down!"
On the side of the Dragon Case, the crown prince Zhu Hongyu, who was standing beside him, and the eunuch "Yuanlu" of the Silijian also knelt on the ground at the same time.
Emperor Wu was furious and the temperature in the entire palace hall instantly dropped to freezing point, and the three of them were silent.
After a while, Emperor Wu looked at Shangguan Qingfeng again and asked in a cold voice: "Shangguan Qingfeng, who is the madman who disturbed the engagement ceremony of Zhenbei King?"
Shangguan Qingfeng hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, this person's name is "Han Feng". According to investigation, he is an intermediate disciple of Tiannan Academy."
"Han Feng!"
When he heard this name, the prince, who was kneeling beside Emperor Wu, suddenly moved his expression.
Even Emperor Wu was slightly stunned when he heard this name.
The old eunuch Yuanlu, who was standing beside him, reminded at the right time: "Your Majesty, what the Secretary of the State Council said should be the young man who designed the "Zhuge Crossbow" a year ago and made a meritorious service in Beiyang Pass half a year ago and was named "viscount" by you."
"It's him!" Emperor Wu's eyes narrowed, and then he said angrily: "A mere viscount dares to destroy the marriage between the two princes. I really don't know how to be high and the earth. Shangguan Qingfeng, have you ever captured this person and returned?"
"Well……"
When Shangguan Qingfeng heard this, his eyes flashed slightly and he pondered: "Your Majesty, I am incompetent and dared not capture this person."
"Oh..." Emperor Wu's eyes flashed in his eyes when he heard this, and he keenly noticed something in Shangguan Qingfeng's words.
"Why don't you dare?"
Shangguan Qingfeng looked embarrassed and said, "Go back to Your Majesty, after this person arrived at the Zhenbei Palace, His Highness Ying and Zhang Shuai have much protection for him.
Although the old minister is determined to bring this son back to the capital and hand him over to His Majesty, he is powerless to do anything if he is blocked by those two people. I hope His Majesty will forgive him.”
When Emperor Wu heard this, he became more and more furious and slapped the table again and said, "It's outrageous. Are Zhang Dingnan and King Ying going to be right from me? How dare you protect this bold madman!"
Seeing this, the prince Zhu Hongyu, who was standing aside, saw that his eyes flashed and he couldn't help but say, "Father, the child is willing to go to Xichuan Province, capture Han Feng back to the imperial capital, and obey his father's despair."
When Emperor Wu heard this, he glanced at the prince beside him and said, "The prince is willing to share my worries. I feel no comfort in it, but it is related to Zhang Dingnan and King Ying. Even if you are sent to Xichuan, it will be useless.
I have to make a decision on this matter personally, and I will inevitably punish relevant people strictly!”
As soon as these words came out, the prince lowered his head and couldn't help but look happy. However, Shangguan Qingfeng, who was kneeling in front of the hall, frowned slightly.
Then, Emperor Wu said again: "How many people know about Shangguan Qingfeng, what happened at the engagement ceremony of King Zhenbei?"
Shangguan Qingfeng hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, when the King of Zhenbei fought with Han Feng, he blocked the sky. Only a dozen governors and several princes and nobles in the inner courtyard were seen throughout the process.
However, before returning to the imperial capital, the old minister had already negotiated with them, asking them to keep the matter secret and not to be reported outside the box. Wait until the old minister reports to His Majesty, and then make a decision."
Emperor Wu nodded slowly, "Well... you did a good job, it is indeed not appropriate to spread the word."
As he said that, Emperor Wu pondered for a while, then couldn't help but reach out and rub his eyebrows, revealing a little tiredness, "You are running all the way, I must be tired, so let's go back and rest first, I will give you a reward later.
As for how to deal with this matter, I must also think about it carefully.”
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Qingfeng hurriedly bowed and said, "Since that's the case, the old minister will leave first!"
Emperor Wu nodded and said to Zhu Hongyu beside him: "Crown Prince, go and see your teacher."
The prince quickly responded and personally sent Shangguan Qingfeng out of the palace gate, and the two walked towards the palace gate.
Halfway through the way, the prince finally couldn't help but whispered with joy: "Teacher, Zhang Dingnan and the others are finally going to be unlucky this time!"
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Qingfeng, who was the Minister of Personnel and the Young Tutor of the Crown Prince, had no joy on his face. Instead, he frowned and pondered: "Crown Prince, you are too happy too early."
The prince looked puzzled when he heard this, "Why did the teacher say this? How angry is the father in the hall just now? Have you not seen him?"
Shangguan Qingfeng shook his head and sighed: "Crown Prince, who is Your Majesty? How could he easily express his joy and anger?
Furthermore, if Your Majesty really wants to vigorously punish Zhang Dingnan, why didn’t he summon me in front of the ministers in the palace, but waited for the court to disperse before summoning him alone?”
When the prince heard this, his face changed slightly, "Teacher, what do you mean..."
Shangguan Qingfeng bowed to the prince and said, "Your Highness does not need to send him far away. The old minister has sued him. Don't get involved in this matter again."
The prince stood there, his eyes flashing, and he felt thoughtful.
...
But in the hall, the prince sent Shangguan Qingfeng out of the hall shortly after he sent him out, an eunuch came to report. "Your Majesty, the eldest princess is asking for a visit outside the hall."
"Oh... Is it the sixth sister here?" Emperor Wu couldn't help but look surprised when he heard this. He immediately refused to summon him. He actually got up in person and went out of the hall to greet him.
At this moment, in the corridor on the left side of the hall, next to the white jade carved fence, there was a graceful figure stopping and waiting.
This is a woman with a thin gauze with her hair as black and soft as a cloud. She has a hollow phoenix hairpin with gold wire on her head, a long ivory white skirt, and a covered with a gold and silver wire embroidered on the floor.
Even if the woman is wearing a veil scarf, her pair of unpainted willow eyebrows, as well as her clear and calm eyes, like a clear spring and flowing water, and her white skin as white as a cream, can also make people think that under this woman's veil, she must be a stunning face that is stunning.
Seeing this familiar figure, Emperor Wu couldn't help but speed up his pace, a kind smile appeared on his face, and he took the initiative to speak: "Sixth sister, how could you come to the palace today?"
Facing Emperor Wu, the woman bowed slightly, her movements were noble and generous, and her voice was as soft as "Sinking fish out of the ear."
"Qinghe, I've met the emperor brother."
It turns out that this woman is the sixth daughter of the late emperor and the "Princess Qinghe" known as the first beauty in the empire.
After Emperor Wu ascended the throne, he named the sister of his mother and his compatriots the empire's "Early Princess", which is also the highest rank among the princesses.
Seeing Princess Qinghe, Emperor Wu rarely showed a gentle smile, and personally stepped forward to hold up the other party and said, "Sixth sister, I have said a long time ago that you are not worshipping me, so why should you be so polite?"
Princess Qinghe's eyes were quiet and she said softly: "The emperor is now the emperor, how can Qinghe lose his etiquette?"
Emperor Wu smiled helplessly and said, "Qinghe, you haven't been to the palace for a long time. You might as well accompany me to the Imperial Garden today."
Princess Qinghe nodded, and then the brother and sister went to the Imperial Garden together.
The flowers bloom in the imperial garden, full of beautiful scenery. Emperor Wu and the eldest princess walked through it and chatted casually, talking about trivial matters about family matters, as well as the interesting experiences of their lives in the palace when they were young.
Most of the time, Emperor Wu was talking, while the eldest princess just listened quietly, nodding and responding from time to time.
The two walked for a while. Emperor Wu was talking about an interesting thing when he was young. When he lowered his head, he suddenly saw the eldest princess holding a manual in her hand.
Emperor Wu couldn't help but be curious, "Sixth sister, what kind of classics are you holding?"
The eldest princess replied: "A collection of poems, an excellent collection of poems."
"Oh... a collection of poems?" Emperor Wu suddenly became interested.
"Sixth sister, remember that before I ascended the throne, you said that although there are many literati princes in the Qianlan Empire, those who can see poetry and articles are not worth a single hand.
But even so, I have never heard you use the word "excellent" to evaluate other people's poems. I wonder if this collection of poems was written by which great scholar in the empire?"
The eldest princess smiled and said two words softly.
