In the Imperial Study Room, Prince Duan, Kang and Prince Huai stood side by side, while the Imperial Academy stood in the back with their heads bowed while offering wine.
Emperor Chen looked at Prince Kang and said straight to the point: "Cheng'er, please tell us in detail what you mentioned in the booklet today about the reconstruction of printing regulations."
After Chen Huang finished speaking, King Huai's face was expressionless, and a trace of vigilance immediately flashed in King Duan's eyes.
King Kang stood up and said: "Back to my father, I feel that the imperial court's regulations on publishing books are not perfect and there are many omissions. As for the specific details, the officials of the Imperial College need to discuss it."
Chen Huang looked at him with no expression on his face, but he couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart.
He thought about it again and again, but he never thought about the benefits to King Kang or the harm to King Duan by reestablishing the book publishing laws. Based on his understanding of the two sons, it was neither self-interest nor harmful to others.
, they won’t do it.
King Duan, who was standing next to King Kang, was even more puzzled and immediately became a little wary.
King Kang wants to trouble the Imperial Academy this time. Is there some kind of trap?
Even if there is no trap, he will definitely object to what King Kang wants to do. He suffered a big loss last time and now, thinking about it, he still feels a little distressed.
He took a step forward and said: "My father often taught us that running a big country is like cooking small dishes. Don't disturb cooking fish, and don't worry about running a country. A few days ago, the imperial court made some changes in the printing of books. If you just feel that
If any law is inappropriate, it would be a waste of time and effort to amend it at every turn."
Chen Huang did not respond immediately, but began to think again.
If it needs to be changed, in fact, every law and order can be modified. Some are insignificant and there is no need to improve them. For the purpose of governing the country, maintaining stability is better than changing.
He looked at King Huai, who had been silent since he came in, and asked, "Rui'er, do you have any opinion?"
King Huai raised his head and said: "Father, I think that what the two royal brothers said has a certain truth. In the end, I will ask my father to make a clear decision."
Emperor Chen glanced at him, waved his hand, and said: "Okay, you all can go down, and the Imperial College will stay for the wine ceremony."
The three of them left the imperial study. King Huai bowed his hands to them and said, "The two royal brothers should go to pay their respects to the two empresses. I will go back to the mansion first..."
King Kang and King Huai looked at him and nodded at the same time.
King Huai was no opponent to the two of them. He had no foundation or background in the court, and his mother and concubine also died of illness early. Among the three, he was just a foil. The threat to them was not much greater than that of King Run.
The two of them were the opponents who needed to be wary. They looked at each other and each walked towards a palace.
A moment later, in Concubine Tang Hui's chamber, Prince Duan sipped a cup of tea and said, "I don't know what tricks Zhao Cheng is playing this time. No matter what, I can't let him get his wish."
Thinking of something, she looked at the woman in palace clothes opposite and asked: "Mother, concubine, has your father revealed to you the candidate for Minister of Household Affairs?"
The woman in palace clothes looked at him, shook her head and said, "Your Majesty never talks about state affairs when you are here."
"This is all the fault of that scoundrel. If my sister-in-law could have agreed to that marriage, we would have had another helper in the court now..." A fierce look appeared on Prince Duan's face, and he said: "How much thought have I spent?
, he just controlled a minister of household affairs, and now he has ruined everything!"
Concubine Tang Hui frowned and said: "As a junior, you, as a junior, should not make unreasonable comments on the matters of the elders."
Prince Duan put down his tea cup, took a deep breath, and said, "My child made a mistake, please don't blame me."
At the same time, in another part of the palace.
A beautiful woman in palace attire looked at Prince Kang and asked, "Why is Cheng'er so happy today? Could it be that your father praised you?"
"Father didn't praise me." King Kang smiled and said, "But here, my child, there is one thing that makes me happier than being praised by my father."
The beautiful woman in palace clothes looked at him and asked with a smile: "What is that?"
King Kang took a sip from the teacup and recounted what had just happened in the palace.
Concubine Zhang Xian looked at him doubtfully and asked, "If that's the case, why didn't you explain the benefits of this move to your father just now?"
King Kang smiled and said: "Of course I have to say it, but not now, but in the morning court tomorrow."
He was secretly glad in his heart that his original thoughts were exactly the same as those of his mother and concubine. But after Xiao Jue's suggestion, he realized that there was no point in talking in the imperial study. He wanted to stand in the court in front of all the civil and military officials.
In front of him, he slapped Wang Duan hard in the face. He wanted to tell everyone that he, Zhao Cheng, had a unique vision and understood the sufferings of the people. Zhao Ming was not even worthy of carrying his shoes!
For the same thing, Xiao Jue taught him how to find ways to maximize benefits.
In the Imperial Study Room, the imperial wine ceremony had just ended, and Emperor Chen put aside Prince Kang's brochure, and also forgot about the contents on the brochure.
King Kang was eager to do something, but he only relied on enthusiasm and no detailed planning, which made him a little disappointed. Even these trivial things, as long as he thought about it carefully, it would be left to him.
It doesn’t hurt to do it.
However, compared to before, he has undergone some changes now. It is gratifying to finally stop fighting with King Duan.
He was leaning on a chair to rest, and a figure came in from outside the door, holding a jade bowl in his hand, and walked up to him cautiously.
Chen Huang looked at him and asked: "Yuan'er, what's going on?"
Zhao Yuan held the bowl in front of Emperor Chen and said, "I made a bowl of egg custard. Father, please try it."
Chen Huang looked at the tender, smooth and fragrant egg custard in the bowl, and said in surprise: "Did you make this?"
Ling Yun stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this bowl of egg custard was indeed made by His Highness Prince Run. The imperial chef only helped His Highness put the bowl into the pot."
"Is it possible that you have inherited your mother's cooking skills?" Smelling the aroma of egg custard, Emperor Chen temporarily forgot to scold him as a prince and should not act like this. He couldn't help but pick up the spoon and take a taste.
King Run blinked and asked, "Father, how are you doing?"
Chen Huang looked at him and said, "Some of it is salty, but the rest is nothing. Is this what Yuan'er and Yu Chu learned?"
Zhao Yuan rolled his eyes and murmured: "It's salty..., when I make it for the Wang sister tomorrow, I need to put less salt..."
"What?"
"It's nothing. This is what I learned secretly while my husband was making it today." Zhao Yuan said with a smile: "Father, eat more. My husband said that it is rich in protein, which can strengthen the brain and protect the brain."
Liver..., and then, and then..., in short, it is very good for the body!"
After saying that, he ran out quickly.
Emperor Chen watched him run out with a smile on his face and said, "Wei Jian, give me some water."
Although the egg custard was salty, Chen Huang still ate it completely and not a single bowl was wasted.
Although he has many children, no matter whether they are adult or minor princes and daughters, only Yuan'er can have such a heart.
This bowl of egg custard is, to him, better than any delicacy from the mountains and seas.
A young eunuch walked up slowly and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to have dinner."
"Take it down, I'm already full." Chen Huang stood up and murmured: "How can the things they make compare with my son?"
A smile appeared on his face and he said: "Go to Shuxiu Palace."
…
There were only three people in the house. Tangning washed vegetables, cooked, washed pots and dishes by herself. She felt that she was not used to not having many maids around her.
It's a bit sad to think about it, but in just one year, he has fallen to this situation.
The once good young people are now being tortured by the feudal society...
No matter what, I have to recruit a few maids as soon as possible. If I have the opportunity, I will ask Xiao Jue if there are any good channels. It is easy to find maids these days, but it is rare to find a maid who knows her roots and is innocent.
He was sitting in the pavilion watching the old beggar teach Xiao Xiao how to practice kung fu. He glanced at him inadvertently and saw someone walking in from the front yard.
There was no concierge outside the house, so he just closed the door, not expecting them to open the door and come in by himself.
This time it was not Xiao Ru and Xiao Yi, but Su Mei.
Tangning walked over and asked in confusion, "Why are you here?"
"I'm not here to find you." Su Mei glanced at him and asked, "Is Sister Zhong here?"
They had just met each other for less than a day and already they were calling each other "sister", but Su Huhu was destined to be disappointed today, Xiaoyi would not move here until June.
He shook his head and said: "If you want to find Xiaoyi, go to the county government office to find her. She is not here. She won't move here for more than half a month."
"What?" Su Mei was startled when she heard this, and then said happily: "She's not here?"
