"Xiao Changfeng..." At this time, Emperor Tianqi, who came to uphold justice for his ministers, looked at Xiao Changfeng, "You too..."
Xiao Changfeng knelt on the ground stubbornly.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked you about the details of the capital, and you answered truthfully, why are you carrying a gun and a stick and being sarcastic?"
"The prince is new to state affairs, and he is not familiar with many things. I don't know. As a minister, you have the duty of assisting, so why are you contradicting the prince?"
"My lord, you are wrong!" Xiao Changfeng knelt down and lowered his head, not looking at the emperor or anyone else.
"You realize your mistake?" the emperor said distrustfully, "I don't think you know!"
"If you knew you were wrong, you wouldn't have this attitude!"
"I see that you have always cooperated seamlessly against Fan Bang in the past. How come there was a great general and a right general, and you could actually cause such a quarrel in the court?"
"I see that you are also relying on your military achievements to become arrogant and lazy..."
Zhao Yan said, "From today on, you will shut yourself up and reflect, when will you figure it out, and when will you come back to the court!"
Then he looked at Zhao Chengji again and said, "I am very dissatisfied with your supervision of the country these days, and you are the same. You should go back and be grounded."
"When have you figured it out? When will you come to me and tell me... When I think you have figured it out, you can come back to the court..."
"Chen..." Xiao Changfeng still wanted to defend himself.
"Father..." Zhao Chengji also wanted to defend himself.
However, Zhao Yan did not give any of them a chance, and immediately held the eunuch's hand and staggered out of the court.
All the ministers saluted and said goodbye, "Best farewell to your Majesty!"
When the emperor walked away, everyone looked at the origin of today's dispute meaningfully.
Zhao Chengji and Xiao Changfeng were still kneeling stiffly on the ground.
When the two looked at each other, sparks flashed in the air again.
At this time, the fake Zhao Chengli came to them and said, "Prince, Xiao Hou, the emperor has left. You should get up quickly!"
Zhao Chengji glanced at Zhao Chengli, flicked his sleeves, and avoided Zhao Chengli's support.
Before leaving, he glanced at Xiao Changfeng, who was still kneeling on the ground, "Don't think I don't know, you did it on purpose!"
He came from a war background. In the past, because the foreign countries always targeted him and frequently sent killers to him, the emperor specifically allowed Xiao Changfeng to cultivate some secret guards in private and use these secret guards to carry out detailed counter-attacks.
Most of the courtiers did not know about this matter, but those close to the emperor knew about it.
However, these secret guards were secrets that were not disclosed to the public, so when faced with the quarrel between the two in the court, none of the ministers who knew about it said anything about it.
Firstly, the matter of secret guards cannot be publicized through their mouths.
Secondly, since they are important ministers, everyone must know that Zhao Chengji and Xiao Changfeng are both attracted to Princess Nianyun.
Their private relationship was already on bad terms, and this fact has long been known to the public.
Since ancient times, there is only so much passion and hatred.
Faced with two people with such hatred, no one is willing to step in and meddle in their own affairs.
However, everyone who left the court became more and more curious about Su Nianyun, who had caused the conflict between the two.
"What kind of magical power does this princess who has been married once have, can she actually attract the attention of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince despite being granted a marriage to Xiao Hou?"
"Don't you know this? Previously, Xiaohou asked the Queen Mother to marry Princess Nianyun, but Princess Nianyun did not agree. She refused two or three times. I think the reason why she refused was because she was in the palace.
When I arrived, I took a good look at the prince..."
"Are you kidding, is this possible?"
"How come it's not possible?"
"Back then, when the prince was the eighteenth prince, Princess Nianyun, one of the former prince's... well, a right-hand man, was already very popular with the Queen Mother. How could she like the eighteenth prince?"
"You don't understand this. The so-called tower near the water, Princess Nianyun must have a keen eye for pearls. She saw first that the eighteenth prince would become the prince in the future, so she fell in love..."
"What you are saying is too far-fetched. She is just a princess living in a deep palace. What can she know? Also, Princess Nianyun lived with the Queen Mother at first, and later her own palace was very close to the Queen Mother. Do you think that if
If the two of them have an affair, what will the Queen Mother do?"
"The Queen Mother is a person who can't tolerate evil in her eyes. It is impossible for her to let her nominal aunt and nephew have such an unethical relationship. You are thinking too much!"
"I think I didn't think too much..."
Those gossipy ministers were getting further and further away, so Zhao Chengli helped Xiao Changfeng up.
"Little Xiaohou, get up quickly, they are all gone!"
Xiao Changfeng slowly stood up.
Zhao Chengli saw Xiao Changfeng frowning, with a very ugly look on his face, and knew that he had listened to those people's gossip.
"Sorry," he apologized promptly, "I didn't expect that asking me to do this for me would actually affect Princess Nianyun's reputation. Don't worry..."
Zhao Chengli promised Xiao Changfeng, "When I inherit the throne, I will definitely hold a glorious wedding for you two."
Once the emperor grounded him, he ran out of time.
In less than ten days, they will get married.
By doing this, Xiao Changfeng undoubtedly delayed his marriage.
Seeing that Xiao Changfeng was still frowning in confusion, Zhao Chengli reassured him, "Don't worry, little Xiaohou, you are grounded and Zhao Chengji is grounded as well. He does not dare to harass Princess Nianyun."
"I will send someone to keep an eye on him. If he dares to do something strange, I will immediately report his behavior to the emperor, so that he will not dare to do anything!"
Xiao Changfeng nodded, "I hope the Sixth Prince will keep his word and never let the Crown Prince get close to Princess Nianyun."
"I do what I say, don't worry, there's nothing wrong with cooperating with me, just don't worry!"
"Okay." Xiao Changfeng nodded and raised his hand to Zhao Chengli, "I will go back and confine myself to reflect. I may not be able to help the Sixth Prince in the future. I hope everything goes well for you in the future!"
"Don't say that, you helped me a lot, a huge help!" Zhao Chengli returned the favor to Xiao Changfeng and sent him back to the house.
When Xiao Changfeng entered the palace, the counselor in the car asked, "Sixth Prince, do you really want to help Xiao Hou maintain the Su residence?"
"In my opinion, this is the right time!"
Zhao Chengli smiled, "I know."
He glanced at the door of Xiao Mansion that was slowly closing, and whispered, "I'm sorry, little Xiaohou, I may have to break my promise to you!"
"It's not that I won't help you hold a grand wedding, but I won't restrict Zhao Chengji from finding Su Nianyun..."
He even wanted to help Zhao Chengji see Su Nianyun as soon as possible.
"I can only promise that I will give you a grand wedding to compensate you. But whether Su Nianyun is still willing to follow you when the time comes is not something I can control!"
