The little fat man stayed in the Hall of Houde for a while again, but the Emperor still ignored him. He was holding a somewhat worn manuscript of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" in his hand, and he was flipping through it carefully. The little fat man poked his head over curiously many times, and was finally
The emperor rushed out impatiently, and the little fat man didn't know why his father didn't take action against these guys. However, he did not return directly to the East Palace, but came to the Dianting.
He found a Huangmen and asked him to inform Song Dian to come to the East Palace, and then returned to the East Palace. Song Dian was busy with chores in the palace. When he heard that the prince was summoned, he immediately put down what he was doing and went to the East Palace.
When he arrived at the East Palace, Wang Yue personally stood guard at the door. He greeted Wang Yue kindly, and then walked into the East Palace and walked all the way to the main hall. The little fat man was sitting in the main hall, holding a volume of books and reading seriously.
He looked so much like the emperor that Song Dian was shocked. He had never thought that the prince who could only wield swords and guns would now be able to read books honestly. This was obviously something he learned from the emperor.
Song Dian knew that whenever the emperor was free, he would always hold a book in his hand and read it quietly.
Song Dian stood quietly next to the little fat man, not daring to make a sound to disturb him. Anyway, he was used to it. The emperor was like this. Every time he summoned ministers, he always liked to read a book and let the ministers stay by his side for a while. The prince
After browsing for a moment, he raised his head and seemed to have just seen Song Dian coming. With a smile on his face, he said with a smile: "Song Gong is here, please take a seat."
"This slave does not dare to use the honorific title of His Highness. I hope Your Highness will not harm this slave!" Song Dian said in fear.
"Hey, don't worry, Eunuch Song, you have been with my father for a long time, and I am more friendly to you than those ministers..."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
The little fat man began to chat with Song Dian again. After chatting for a long time, the little fat man said helplessly: "I think my father loves reading the most, and I am willing to follow him. But I don't know what kind of books my father reads. I must
Song Gong knows that in the future, can he also make a copy of the book that my father reads and send it to the East Palace..."
"This...why didn't His Highness tell the country personally?"
"My father has been working hard on state affairs. How can I trouble my father with these things? I hope Duke Song will help me..."
Song Dian smiled helplessly and said: "Your Highness, this servant is illiterate. I don't know what books the country has read. If Your Highness is interested, you can ask yourself..."
"Oh, forget it, Mr. Song, I don't want to bother my father with this little thing... If Mr. Song is unable to do anything, don't disturb my father anymore. There is no need to tell him..." Hearing Song Dian
After the tactful rejection, the little fat man did not show any anger at all. Instead, he spoke understandingly and did not let Song Dian leave. He talked to him enthusiastically, expressing considerable goodwill.
"I will think of a way. If I can serve His Highness, I will definitely have the books delivered..."
After chatting for another half an hour, Song Dian left. The little fat man sent him away with a smile. Looking at his retreating back, his eyes shone with an inexplicable light. He asked people to move a seat and sat down.
Not far from the gate, he was sitting quietly, seeming to be waiting for something. Wang Yue was also a little confused and asked with some confusion: "What is the prince waiting for?"
"Waiting for my loyal servant..." the little fat man replied with a smile.
After a long time, the little fat man was about to get up and go back. Suddenly, four or five Huangmen came in from the outside, holding many books. When they saw the little fat man, their faces were a little shocked, and they handed them over respectfully.
He said that he was sent by Song Dian from Zhonghuang Gate.
The little fat man took the book very happily, laughed loudly, and said: "Thank you Eunuch Song for your kindness. Come and give me a reward!"
He shouted, and the servants around him came out and handed some money to these people. These little yellow men did not dare to take it, but the little fat man forced them again and again. They just took the money, thanked them repeatedly, and then left. The little fat man
The books were moved to the study room. Seeing him smiling so happily, Wang Yue also laughed softly and said: "So this is what His Highness was waiting for..."
"That's right!"
The little fat man told Wang Yue not to disturb others while he was studying. Then he walked into the study room with a smile and closed the door. The little fat man's face immediately darkened and he quickly opened the books one by one.
As if he was looking for something, after a while, he took out a slightly damaged copy of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" from among the books. He frowned, gritted his teeth, sighed softly, and put the book on the table.
On the wooden desk, he whispered: "Eunuch Song, you are my father's loyal servant, but you are not mine..."
The emperor didn't know what was going on in the East Palace, but now he still couldn't continue studying. On the one hand, it was because he had just sent the book he was reading to the little fat man, and on the other hand, the queen was here.
The emperor was crying beside him. He knew that this was for the sake of the prince. It seemed that he had not only deceived all the officials, but also the queen who had been with him the longest. He sighed and took the queen's hand.
, let her sit next to him.
"Queen, you know how excited I was when Bian'er was born. Even before he was born, I summoned all the officials to come up with a name for him... I have never blamed him.
On the contrary, I tried my best to cultivate him. He is such a arrogant person. He is not stupid at all. However, he never acts thoughtfully, is a little reckless, is warlike and brave, and thinks very highly of himself. If I can't change his viciousness, I can only do it for him.
To reduce obstacles in the future, there are many things that I can’t tell you clearly because you can’t hide things, but you don’t have to worry..."
The emperor slowly explained to the queen, and the frightened queen stopped choking. The emperor rubbed his forehead and said helplessly: "But the queen mother asked you to come find me?"
"Well... Your Majesty should go to the palace in person to explain. If Your Majesty doesn't go, I'm afraid the Queen Mother will come with a cane and beat Your Majesty..."
"Oh, okay, okay, I will explain it myself..." The emperor had a headache.
...........
Cai Yong sat in the study and listed the assessment matters on the form one by one. The old man was well aware of the emperor's extremely abnormal behavior in the past few days, even though he was a great scholar.
, but after all, he has been in the temple for more than ten years. How could he not see through these things? The emperor wanted to clear the way for the prince, but it was a pity for these people who had been officials in the same dynasty with him for nearly ten years.
Ministers, they have been shrewd all their lives, but at this time they were blinded by the desires in their hearts.
The prince had no serious fault at all, so how could the emperor dislike him?
Cai Yong also understood that these ministers did not want another Gongyang emperor to appear, let alone such a thing to become the norm in the future. However, Cai Gong still had a show with the emperor, and it was a successful one.
The drama also brought down many colleagues, leaving them with nowhere to hide in front of the emperor. What can I do? After all, he is his son-in-law. If he does not help him, how will his daughter deal with herself in the future?
As early as the moment he agreed to the marriage, he and the prince were tightly tied together.
If you suffer a loss, you will suffer a loss; if you suffer a loss, you will both be prosperous.
However, these matters still have to be left to the emperor to handle. As for myself, what I have to do now is to help the prince to complete the assessment smoothly, and there must be no mistakes.
