Murong Yao could not express his happiness and anger, and he rarely got so angry.
Murong Shen's brows moved, but he did not kneel down, but still stood up straight: "I wonder what my son did wrong to make his father so angry?"
Murong Yao was extremely angry and laughed back: "Okay! What a captain Murong! This is because his wings are hardened and he doesn't take me seriously anymore, right?"
"You have the nerve to ask!"
"Assassinating the Prince of Beihai and secretly spreading rumors are all your fault! Do you really think you did it so perfectly that no one would guess it was you?"
Murong Shen's face did not change and he responded coldly: "Before doing these things, I reported them to the emperor. Father, don't you think that I am the one who made the decision on my own!"
Murong Yao: "..."
Murong Yao's face turned pale and he suddenly raised his hand.
Murong Shen dodged quickly and escaped the slap.
Murong Yao was in his forties, already past his prime. Murong Shen, on the other hand, was twenty-two this year, and was at the peak of his strength and strength.
Murong Yao did not expect that his son would dodge, so he continued to pursue in anger. Murong Shen could not dodge, so he stretched out his hand to block: "Father, calm down and listen to me. I am an errand in the palace. If there is a palm mark on my face, how can I get out?"
When the emperor asks someone, what should I say? Father!"
Murong Shen's face was livid and he stopped: "If you want to recognize me as your biological father, then kneel down."
The father and son looked at each other angrily and were in a stalemate.
Under Murong Yao's angry and cold gaze, Murong Shen slowly knelt down.
Murong Yao was still angry and sneered: "What? Is it wronging you by asking you to kneel down? I teach my son the right thing to do. If you don't obey the discipline, you can leave Murong's family and start a new family!"
Filial piety is the top priority. Once you are known as being disobedient and unfilial, you will be impeached and find it difficult to gain a foothold in the officialdom.
Murong Shen had to lower his head: "My son realizes his mistake, please punish me father."
Murong Yao snorted angrily: "You are indeed wrong, and you are very wrong."
"You are the imperial captain. It is your duty to guard the palace and protect the emperor. You should not interfere in the affairs of the royal family, and you must not interfere."
"You are selfish, and it is unwise to make a grudge against the Prince of Beihai for Miss Zhao Liu. To instigate in the Emperor's ears and secretly kill the Prince of Beihai is even more wrong."
"Do you think the emperor will always protect you? If something goes wrong, the emperor will just push you out and calm down the war."
"Murong Shen, you are twenty-two years old and have been working in the palace for six years. You are not a young boy who does not understand the world. You should act cautiously and think twice before acting."
Murong Shen did not raise his head: "My son has memorized everything his father said."
Murong Yao: "..."
I can’t even hear a word of this!
Murong Shen has been opinionated since he was a child, but in the past few months, he has become too "opinionated". Even his own father doesn't take him seriously.
Murong Yao's brows furrowed into the Chinese character "Chuan", and after a long while he said: "Let's just stop it and don't do anything else."
Murong Shen agreed in a low voice.
Murong Yao stepped out.
Murong Shen, who was kneeling on the ground, slowly stood up, his eyes filled with ice.
…
The disturbance in the court soon spread to Jiaofang Hall.
Xiao Xi'er, the chamberlain, knelt on the ground and recounted the commotion at the court meeting: "...The emperor was furious. After the court, he returned to Fuyou Hall and cursed Yushi Meng. The foster father sent a servant to give the queen and his wife
I’m sending you a message. I ask you to go to Fuyou Hall when you have some free time."
Queen Su frowned and said nothing, and after a moment she said: "I understand."
Xiao Xier kowtowed and left.
Queen Su sat for a long time, then sighed and ordered the palace servants: "Go to the study to deliver a message, saying that I have gone to Fuyou Hall so that the prince does not have to come back for dinner."
Then he got up and went to Fuyou Hall.
Unexpectedly, when I arrived at the Fuyou Hall, I was stopped by Eunuch Jiang, who was smiling apologetically: "Your Majesty, please stay. Your Majesty is reviewing the memorials and handling official business. Please go back to Jiaofang Hall first."
After being husband and wife for twenty years, Empress Su knew Emperor Yongming very well. When it came to reviewing memorials and handling official affairs, he simply indulged in debauchery during the day.
Queen Su was not angry because she didn't care at all. She was not even disappointed because she had never had hope for her husband.
She only felt deeply tired and weak.
How long can the Jin Dynasty last with such a foolish king?
…
In the study room, the atmosphere was quite dull today.
In fact, since Xu Jing was assassinated, all the princes and princes in the study have become quite silent.
Even the impulsive and irritable Prince Xihe has restrained himself a lot. He can be silent and never talk too much.
Xu Jing, on the other hand, was talking and laughing with the prince as usual these past few days. When school was over, Prince Xihe couldn't hold it back and taunted: "Cousin Jing has been laughing and joking all day, and he is in a good mood. Could it be that he has been caught?
Assassin? Or caught the person spreading rumors?"
Everyone looked over in unison.
Xu Jing smiled broadly: "Why are you so anxious? The Ministry of Punishment is doing its best to investigate, and the ten-day deadline is almost here."
The water in this matter is very deep. The Criminal Department may not be able to find the real culprit.
Prince Xihe sneered in his heart, glanced at the prince quickly, and swallowed back the harsh and unpleasant words.
Prince Yingchuan coughed and said: "In short, you'd better be more careful when you go out. If there are not enough soldiers around you, just open your mouth, brothers will not stand idle."
The prince said nothing.
The princes and princes of the vassal were enjoying themselves freely in the vassal territory. Suddenly, an imperial edict came out and they were all summoned to the palace. It was called studying, but in reality it was house arrest in disguise. Everyone felt sulky in their hearts. Occasionally, he would bear with someone carrying a gun or a stick.
The palace attendant stepped in, bowed and whispered a few words.
The prince nodded slightly and walked back to the East Palace.
Xu Jing had long legs, and one step was as long as the prince's two steps. He caught up with him easily: "Cousin, wait for me."
The prince glanced at Xu Jing, who was smiling as usual, and felt mixed emotions in his heart: "You..."
The words came out of your mouth, but nothing came out.
In the palace, there are some things that can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.
Xu Jing seemed to have heard nothing and said with a smile: "What? My cousin can't bear to have lunch?"
The prince smiled and sighed: "I'm afraid that you are in a bad mood and don't want to go to the East Palace."
Xu Jing grinned: "The sky is big and the earth is big, filling your stomach is the most important thing. The food in the East Palace is the best. If I don't eat, wouldn't I be sorry for myself?"
Being with Xu Jing is always so relaxing and joyful.
The prince laughed, and his gloomy and depressed mood instantly improved.
After lunch, the prince asked Xu Jing: "What are you going to do if the Ministry of Punishment never finds the real murderer?"
Xu Jing replied nonchalantly: "Actually, I know who did it without checking. I deliberately made the matter a big deal to warn this person and teach him a lesson."
Prince: "..."
The prince was suddenly moved, and when he was about to ask more questions, he heard Xu Jing say again: "Cousin, don't ask! I can't tell you even if you ask."
The prince and Xu Jing looked at each other for a moment, then sighed and said no more.
