Chapter 229 The Daily Life of the Prince of the Palace (11)
If it hadn't been for the fact that in a later war, the two had to work together to fight against the enemy, and Liu Xiang saw the bravery and prowess of King Zhennan and eliminated his prejudice against him, I'm afraid the two would still be having trouble now.
However, even now, Liu Xiang still feels a little upset when he thinks about the times when he was beaten.
There was a moment of uncertainty on his face, and he threw the chess piece in his hand on the chessboard, and walked out angrily. As he walked, he said, "This is the first time my Liu family held a poetry meeting. The person behind the scenes is obviously not..."
Give me the respect of the Liu family and go check it out for me, I want to see who is trying to go against me."
The corner of the housekeeper's mouth twitched, unable to complain.
They are obviously targeting the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, but you are just talking nonsense and putting the crime of offending the Prime Minister on this person. If they find out about this, I'm afraid they will vomit three liters of blood.
The housekeeper smacked his tongue and was about to get up and leave when he suddenly saw the chess game ruined by his master and his eyes widened immediately.
As we all know, Liu Xiangjunzi is proficient in all six arts, but he is a bad chess player. His chess skills are only worthy of fighting with a three-year-old child.
However, this stinky chess player loves to play chess. Because of his status, outsiders dare not win when playing chess with him. Even if he loses, he has to rack his brains to prevent the prime minister from seeing it. Over time, as long as Liu Xiang mentions playing chess, those people will
Let's talk about other things, just don't mention playing chess.
The wife of the family is usually dignified and virtuous, but when it comes to playing chess with Liu Xiang, her temper becomes so bad that she can perform the roar of the Hedong lion on the spot.
As for the juniors in the family, according to Liu Xiang himself, he could not hide his face and bully the juniors, but the housekeeper thought that he did not want to embarrass the juniors.
To sum up, the best person who can play chess with Prime Minister Liu is the housekeeper, and because he lives in the prime minister's house, he can't run away.
The butler gritted his teeth and looked at the ruined chess game. He said why did the master go to such unnecessary lengths and insist on ruining the chess game. Seeing that the relationship was about to be lost, he ran away in advance.
Liu Xiang was in a good mood and went to see his wife with his hands behind his back, humming a little tune all the way.
lose?
What to lose?
Can an unfinished chess game be called a loss?
King Zhennan went to see the emperor with a cold face all the way. His stinky face gave His Majesty the emperor a headache. This was another blind thing that offended the God of War in his prosperous dynasty.
However, when King Zhennan finished telling the story with a voice that sounded like ice, the emperor's face turned even darker than his.
This happened under his nose, and it was Li Jinyuan who was assassinated. Wasn't this rubbing his face on the ground?
"Tell that bastard Shen Weisheng to come over and see me." His Majesty the Emperor slapped his hand on the imperial desk, and Lei Lei was furious.
Shen Weisheng, the leader of the imperial guards responsible for guarding the imperial city.
There was an assassination of the prince of Zhennan Palace in broad daylight. Regardless of whether he was involved in this matter or not, I am afraid he will be in big trouble today.
His Majesty Huang Jiuzhong, the chief eunuch, knew that something serious was going on and hurriedly went out to convey His Majesty's oral instructions.
Your Majesty summoned you urgently. Even if Shen Weisheng is bedridden now, as long as he doesn't die immediately, he will crawl into the palace.
Shen Weisheng was confused and followed the eunuch who had brought the message in. Before he could kneel down to greet His Majesty, he was scolded by the emperor.
When he understood why His Majesty was so angry, Shen Weisheng turned pale and knelt down with a plop.
"Your Majesty, I am wronged."
"Unjustly accused?" These words were like adding fuel to the fire, and the emperor became more and more angry. "It is your duty as the leader of the Imperial Guard to protect the safety of the capital. Now that such a major event has happened, you, Shen Weisheng, know nothing about it."
"If one day it is my turn to be assassinated, you Shen Weisheng can still sleep comfortably at home!!!"
When His Majesty said this, his tone was extremely cold, as if he was extremely angry.
Oops, I said the wrong thing.
Shen Weisheng complained endlessly, wishing to slap himself to death for saying he was wronged before. He knew clearly that what His Majesty hated the most was shirk responsibility. If he had honestly admitted his mistake just now, maybe there would be room for change now.
And what do you mean by unjustly accusing someone? Isn’t this accusing His Majesty of unjustly accusing someone?
The emperor looked at him and became more and more angry: "Since you are not qualified for this position, then you must abdicate for me and make way for others."
Shen Weisheng almost flew out of his mind. To tell the truth, the leader of the imperial guards guarded the safety of the capital. He looked majestic and famous.
But if a brick is thrown down here, among the ten people, there are seven children from prominent families, two officials of fourth rank or above, and one relative of the emperor.
As the saying goes, wherever there are people, there will be struggles, not to mention the imperial city, the center of concentrated power, where no one has some secret affairs.
Once something like this happens and it comes to light, Shen Weisheng will have to investigate thoroughly. Over the years, even someone like Shen Weisheng who has always been smooth and cautious has inevitably offended many people.
The reason why those people held back was simply because Shen Weisheng was the leader of the Imperial Guard and was someone valued by His Majesty, so they did not dare to stroke the tiger's beard.
But if Shen Weisheng loses this protective layer of official skin, the people he has offended over the years will be able to eat his Shen family alive.
He was fine, but he still had a lovely wife and young children at home. How could he let them accompany him to his death?
King Zhennan had been watching with cold eyes, and only then did he say, "The matter is now over, and there is no point in punishing General Shen. Your Majesty, why don't you let General Shen make atonement for his sins?"
His Majesty glanced at King Zhennan. Logically speaking, when something like this happened, King Zhennan would be the most angry. How could he plead for mercy? What on earth was this old guy up to?
The Zhennan bastard remained calm and allowed His Majesty to look at him with suspicious eyes. Shen Weisheng may have neglected his duties, but given his courage, he did not dare to get involved in such a thing.
There is someone else behind the scenes, so getting Shen Weisheng doesn't matter. What he wants is that no one will dare to take a chance on his son again.
"Since the King of Zhennan is interceding for you, then as the leader of the Imperial Guard, you can continue to do so." His Majesty glanced coldly at Shen Weisheng who breathed a sigh of relief, and then changed the subject, "However, death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be avoided. , if you don’t do your job well, you will be punished with thirty strokes of the imperial rod. Go and receive the punishment yourself.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will go and receive my punishment now." Shen Weisheng glanced at King Zhennan gratefully. In any case, as long as his official position remains unchanged, those people would not dare to attack the Shen family openly.
After Shen Weisheng left, King Zhennan glanced at the emperor who seemed to be still angry, and said unceremoniously, "Okay, everyone has left, stop acting."
The emperor was choked by him and said unwillingly, "How did you know that I was just faking it?"
King Zhennan chuckled and looked at His Majesty with disgust.
