King Sun was very surprised. Although there were people who recommended him in the court, they were relatively few. It was not that he didn't want to go. As the young minister of Honglu Temple, he wanted to go and felt that this was an opportunity. After all, he had never done anything since he took office.
No matter what political achievements he has achieved, he has no merits and demerits, and he looks like he is just waiting to die.
Although it was his ideal in life to just hang around and wait for death, once he actually took office, he felt that he did not need to be so decadent and that he was capable of doing something great.
This time someone nominated him, and he was secretly happy because it was actually a kind of affirmation.
But he didn't have any hope, because even if he sent Lao Qi and Prince Rui, it wouldn't be his turn.
"Second brother, if you want to go, I and Lao Qi will jointly recommend you." Wang An saw his heart move and continued.
"Lao Qi... Lao Qi probably wants to go too, right?" Sun Wang hesitated and said.
King An said with a smile: "Lao Qi can't go even if he wants to. Jingzhao Mansion can't do without him now, Lao Wu has not been reinstated, and there are no new transfer arrangements for the staff, so how can he go? I know Lao Wu
Qi has always respected the second brother, and if he was asked to recommend the second brother, he would definitely agree."
Princess Sun was very happy and said: "You can also ask Lao Liu to recommend me. The more people recommend me, the more hope I will have."
Prince An's eyes flashed slightly, "No, don't go to him with Lao Liu. He has never cared about the affairs of the court. If he interferes at this time, it will make people feel that he is recommending for personal gain. After all, he is not in the court. I don't know.
My second brother’s political achievements during his term are indeed recommended by personal feelings.”
King Sun still hesitated, "I am not the best candidate..."
Princess Sun was slightly stunned, "Why aren't you the best candidate? You have been serving at Honglu Temple for a long time, and you have never had a good opportunity. Now that the opportunity is presented to you, you must seize it.
."
King An also encouraged: "Yes, second brother, you can't underestimate yourself. This time when you go to the celebration, you will meet representatives from the other six countries. I believe they are all important ministers of the imperial family. There are too many things that can be negotiated.
Being able to negotiate business relations with any country is a great achievement. Second brother, we don’t have many opportunities to make achievements in Honglu Temple. As the second sister-in-law said, it is an excellent opportunity."
King Sun was so encouraged by him, and under the influence of alcohol, he actually felt that he had a lot to do. He slapped the table and said, "Okay, I will present myself to the court tomorrow."
King An immediately poured the wine and said happily: "Okay, second brother, I wish you success!"
King Sun raised his glass to him, raised his head and drank it all. Then he looked at King An and said, "You are really very different from the past. Don't worry. When you come back from Su, I will definitely let you and Lao Wuyan get back together. The second brother will step in and we will
Brothers, please work together to help your father!"
"Okay!" King An was greatly moved, "Second brother, I will give you another drink!"
Princess Sun was also so happy that she held Princess An's hand and said sincerely: "It's hard for the fourth child to give in voluntarily this time. Now that I think about it, it must be Ah Ru who instigated him to do those bastard things before. Ah Ru
Once they die, their brothers will all get better."
Princess An is also happy. She has always hoped that the royal brothers can live in harmony. Although it is a small disadvantage now, it is a blessing. There will be many opportunities to make meritorious deeds in the future. Besides, where is the brotherhood of meritorious service?
Yu Wenhao has been ordering people to keep an eye on Prince An's palace. The spies reported back to Tang Yang about the banquet held for Prince An tonight. Tang Yang felt that it was not simple, so he informed Yu Wenhao.
When Yu Wenhao heard this, he asked Xu Yi to go to Prince Sun's Mansion and ask what was going on at the banquet.
King Sun was already drunk and fell asleep. Princess An received Xu Yi. She did not tell Xu Yi the truth. She only said that King An held the banquet to apologize.
Xu Yi truthfully reported to Yu Wenhao. Yu Wenhao felt that the timing of the fourth son's apology was a bit strange. He would still have to sneak out in person tomorrow and ask the second son clearly.
At this juncture, we still can't make any mistakes.
When he went to court the next day, King An got up early, stopped King Qi at the palace gate, and told King Qi what he had discussed with King Sun last night.
King Qi did not expect King An to be so broad-minded. He changed his previous impression of King An and agreed to work with him to recommend King Sun to the State of Su.
King An happily patted his shoulder and sighed: "If the second brother can come back with meritorious service, it will make my father feel relieved."
King Qi had been staying in Jingzhao Mansion for a long time, and he always felt that something was wrong after hearing this. After King An left, he turned around and ordered Chaozi to go to King Chu Mansion to inform Yu Wenhao about the matter.
When Yu Wenhao heard this, he became anxious, "Second sister-in-law deliberately concealed it last night. Is it possible to go to Su country?"
Tang Yang said: "Your Highness, I will go to Chu Shoufu immediately, hoping to stop him before entering the palace and ask him to try his best to prevent this matter."
Yu Wenhao looked at the sky and said, "I'm afraid it's too late. They've already gone to court by now."
He pondered for a moment and said, "No, I am going to the palace. If anyone comes, prepare your court clothes."
"Your Highness, you can't go in." Tang Yang stopped him, "You can't enter the palace without the emperor's will."
"Don't worry about it for now, let's talk about it after we go!" Yu Wenhao immediately went back to the house to change his clothes. After getting dressed, he and Tang Yang rode off together.
When they arrived at the palace gate, they were stopped as expected. The gatekeeper general Wu Shi said solemnly: "Your Highness, the Emperor has a decree. During the period of confinement, Your Highness is not allowed to enter the palace without decree. Please come back."
"General Wu, I have something important to do. Please let me pass." Yu Wenhao said.
"No, you cannot disobey the imperial edict. Please come back, Your Highness. Don't embarrass me. I will pretend that I have never met Your Highness and don't know that Your Highness has violated the ban." Wu Shi's attitude was tough.
Yu Wenhao knew that this black stone was really a black and stubborn stone. It would only obey orders and not care about people's feelings. If it were really hit, it would offend the saint and make all the officials suspicious.
Tang Yang asked: "General Wu, has the chief assistant entered the palace?"
"No!" Wu Shi replied.
Yu Wenhao and Tang Yang looked at each other, both a little surprised. Chu Shoufu did not go to court today?
"Your Highness, as far as Wei Chen knows, Shoufu has contracted the cold and is recuperating at home." Wushi informed.
Yu Wenhao's heart felt cold. If the chief assistant was in court, he might be able to stop this matter, but if the chief assistant didn't go to court, I'm afraid it would probably happen.
The arrangement of the fourth child was premeditated, and he deliberately discussed it with the second child one night before the court, just to avoid him.
Presumably, his people will strongly recommend the second brother today, and the candidate must be determined today. If the second brother recommends himself, along with the seventh brother and other ministers, the father will not be able to resist everyone's opinions.
I'm afraid it has been decided now.
Yu Wenhao knew that there was nothing he could do to save his life, so he said to Tang Yang, "Go back home."
Less than an hour after the two returned to the palace, King Qi left the palace and arrived at the palace, telling Yu Wenhao that he had decided on the candidate for the envoy, King Sun.
