After Chu Lan hurried into the palace from the city gate, he and the emperor made a good complaint to the old King of Nanyang.
"Father, I said that you sent your son to pick up the old prince. He didn't even pay attention to him. He looked down on him so much. Doesn't he mean that he doesn't give you face, my father? I looked at the old prince this time.
He entered the capital in a very aggressive manner, ignored his son and ministers, and went directly to the Seventh Brother's Mansion. He said he couldn't live in the An family's old house, but lived in the Seventh Brother's Mansion. Wasn't it clear that he wanted to fight against his father to the end?"
The emperor's face turned ugly after hearing this, "He really didn't say a word to you?"
"No! Not a word." Chu Lan felt aggrieved, "Father, An Huajin killed the person you liked and the heir in your belly. It was a serious crime. Ethics should punish the nine tribes. You are magnanimous and don't care.
I just wanted to punish An Huajin alone, and thought of the old Nanyang King's hard work and merits, so I gave him face and sent his sons and ministers to greet him. But he was good, and he clearly didn't take your father into his eyes at all."
The emperor was angry, "What do you mean by the old King Nanyang!"
Seeing that the emperor had succeeded, Chu Lan was angry and continued to apply the eye medicine, "What could it mean? I just don't want to hand over An Huajin, and I am very dissatisfied with you, my father, right? Otherwise, I won't involve my son for no reason." The emperor couldn't hold back his anger and said, "He went to Chu Yan's mansion?"
"He went and said he wanted to live in the Seventh Brother's Mansion." Chu Lan said angrily, "Chu Chen, Su Han, and Jiang Yunzhi showed him the way. Those three people seemed to be very close to Nanyang Prince's Mansion.
, maybe An Huajin returned to Nanyang with their help."
The emperor's face darkened, "Chu Chen? Su Han? Jiang Yunzhi?"
"Yes, it's them. When I left, they had been waiting at the city gate for a long time, just to wait for the old prince." Chu Lan felt that he couldn't bribe these three people, so it was better to deal with them now, otherwise he would be afraid of them in the future.
It is also difficult to handle.
The emperor turned to Zhang De and said, "Go and send a message and ask the three of them to come see me."
Eunuch Zhang was stunned, glanced at King Jing, and responded with lowered hands, "Yes, I will send someone to invite him right now."
The emperor waved his hand to King Jing, "Go down! I will ask them."
Chu Lan originally wanted to say something, but seeing that the emperor was already very angry, he probably called the three of them, which was just a matter of scolding him. He couldn't be too hasty yet and punished the three of them for such a trivial matter. The future is long.
, many times, I still don’t believe that my father will not punish them.
Chu Lan nodded and said very considerately, "Father, you don't have to be too angry. Anyway, King Nanyang has come to Beijing now. He has entered the capital and is already in your hand. You didn't say it yet."
The final word?"
The emperor liked hearing this and his face brightened slightly, "Well, that's what you said."
Chu Lan resigned.
As soon as he walked to the door, the emperor thought of Gu Qingyan again and asked, "Have you seen Gu Qingyan? Has he returned to Beijing?"
Chu Lan stopped and shook his head, "I didn't see it."
The emperor frowned, "Didn't he return to Beijing with King Nanyang?"
Chu Lan still shook his head, "I sent someone to find out?"
"Yes." The emperor waved his hand.
Chu Lan left the south study room and wondered whether Gu Qingyan had returned to the capital? Should he go to the Gu family? If Gu Qingyan came back and had been away from the capital for so long, he should look back at home first, right?
He made up his mind and immediately went to Gu's house.
After Chu Chen, Su Han, and Jiang Yunzhi left the Seventh Prince's Mansion, they made an appointment to have a drink together. As soon as they arrived at the restaurant, their respective families sent letters saying that His Majesty announced that they would enter the palace together.
Chu Chen frowned, "Your Majesty asked the three of us to enter the palace together. Could it be that King Jing ran to report the status of the three of us to His Majesty?"
"Maybe so." Jiang Yunzhi said.
Su Han rolled his eyes, "Does he think he is a three-year-old child? And he still does things like complaining?"
"I can't bear the fact that he is being favored now. He will complain to Your Majesty! Let's go." Chu Chen was not afraid of complaining to King Jing. Anyway, His Majesty could not punish them for such a trivial matter. The most he could do was give them a lesson.
, they said they admired King Nanyang and ran to wait to see the old King Nanyang’s style. Anyway, who in the world doesn’t admire King Nanyang?
The three of them couldn't bear to drink anymore, so they entered the palace together.
The emperor was waiting for the three of them in the south study room. When he saw the three of them coming, he looked slightly sullen and asked, "What's the matter with you? I heard that the three of you ran to the city gate for a walk instead of doing business." Chu Chen: "..."
Su Han: "..."
Jiang Yunzhi: "..."
They were going to pick up the King of Nanyang, but why did they end up taking a walk at the city gate instead of doing anything serious when His Majesty told them?
Chu Chen immediately said, "The three of us are taking a break today because we are going to see the old prince's style."
"Did you see it? How does the old prince look like?" The emperor's face turned gloomy.
Chu Chen: "The old prince seems to be in poor health and his face is very haggard. He must have suffered a lot on the road."
Su Han: "The old prince looks senile and lacks energy. I don't know if he can still wield a big sword."
Jiang Yunzhi: "The old prince didn't speak very loudly. The weather in the capital is getting windy. I wonder if the old prince will fall ill after all the hard work."
Emperor: "..."
Why is it that what the three of them said is different from what Chu Lan said?
The emperor frowned, "Is this the King of Nanyang you talk about?"
"Yes." The three of them said in unison.
The emperor did not see King Nanyang in person, and the three people spoke seriously. It was difficult for the emperor to tell whether the three people were telling lies. He glared at the three people, "I heard that King Nanyang lived in the Seventh Prince's Mansion?"<
/p>
Chu Chen immediately said, "The old prince probably wants His Highness the Seventh Highness."
Su Han nodded, "After all, we haven't seen each other for eight years."
Jiang Yunzhi said, "When the old King Nanyang came to Beijing eight years ago, His Majesty the Seventh Prince didn't seem to have established a mansion yet. The three of us were afraid that the old prince would not find the seventh prince's mansion, so we took the old prince there. Now he has entered the seventh prince's mansion.
The house is here."
What the emperor was most angry about and couldn't hear was this. He didn't want to let old Nanyang King see Chu Yan at all, so he didn't allow Chu Yan to pick up old Nanyang King. Unexpectedly, he sent Chu Lan to go, but it didn't work at all.
He said in a deep voice, "I have sent King Jing, can you see King Jing?"
Chu Chen immediately said, "See, His Highness King Jing didn't even get off his horse. He saluted the old prince from a distance. The old prince didn't seem to recognize His Highness King Jing. In addition, he seemed to be a little deaf, as if
I didn’t hear what King Jing said.”
Emperor: "..."
He stared at Chu Chen, "Chu Chen, what do you mean by this?"
Chu Chen innocently said, "Your Majesty, I don't mean anything. It's just the truth. If you ask, I will tell the truth. The three of us are here and we can see clearly. It turns out that King Jing was sent by you. It doesn't look like it."
Your Majesty is the most courteous and virtuous corporal who respects his veterans. Since you personally sent the king to honor him, how could you not be respectful to the king? I must be too young."
Emperor: "..."
I asked him to say everything, but what did he say? I wanted to scold him, but I couldn’t seem to find any flaws or loopholes in his words.
The emperor simply stopped beating around the bush and said with a straight face, "Chu Chen, are you obstructing the errands that King Jing has sent to the Ministry of Justice recently? How can court affairs be delayed? And Su Han, you
Don't think that nothing will happen to you just because you are living in Beijing without an official position. From tomorrow on, you will be on duty in front of me, and Jiang Yunzhi. I think you should really marry a wife to take care of you.
The fourth princess is pretty good, I will..."
"Your Majesty!" Jiang Yunzhi's face suddenly turned pale and he interrupted, "I like the third princess in my heart!"
The emperor was stunned.
Chu Chen and Su Han were both stunned and looked at Jiang Yunzhi.
Jiang Yunzhi knelt on one knee, lowered his head and said sincerely, "Your Majesty, I have been in love with the third princess for a long time. I am currently looking for a suitable opportunity to ask your Majesty to marry me. If your Majesty loves me well, please marry me and the third princess."
Granted marriage."
Emperor: "..."
Chu Chen: "..."
Jiang Yunzhi: "..."
Why haven't they noticed that Jiang Yunzhi likes Chu Xiyun all this time? What's going on now?
The emperor's face darkened, "Jiang Yunzhi, what are you talking about? You said you miss my third princess?"
"I'm guilty!" Jiang Yunzhi didn't even raise his head, but still didn't change his words, "I do have my heart for the third princess. Please grant it to your majesty."
The emperor looked at Jiang Yunzhi and his anger rose, "You are so brave!"
Jiang Yunzhi bowed his head and still said the same sentence, "I am guilty."
Seeing that the emperor was about to get angry, Chu Chen immediately said, "Your Majesty, aren't the third princess and the fourth princess the same? Since you are willing to grant him a marriage, then let him be the third princess."
What he said was very light!
But can the third princess and the fourth princess be the same? The third princess is the Queen's legitimate daughter and the biological sister of Chu Yan, but the fourth princess is not, she was born to the Xianfei. The Xianfei is the third prince's mother and concubine, and the third prince is the daughter of the second prince and Zhang Zaifu.
He was implicated in the case, and although he still has the status of a prince and has not been conferred to death, demoted to a commoner, or removed from the royal family, his power has long been destroyed. Only a few old people around him are left, and they live like invisible people. They have already become
He lost a useless son among the princes.
If Jiang Yunzhi is given to Chu Xiyun, wouldn't it mean that the Guangcheng Hou Mansion is assigned to Chu Yan's camp?
At this time, the emperor had no intention of making Chu Yan the crown prince. How could he marry Chu Xiyun to Jiang Yunzhi? He was furious and said, "Jiang Yunzhi, get out of here, remove yourself from all positions, and spend half a year behind closed doors. No matter what,
About to leave the house!"
Jiang Yunzhi lowered his head silently, "Yes, I obey your order."
