Having lost two sons, the biggest taboo of the current emperor, or in other words, the biggest taboo, is undoubtedly the prince in the palace. Even though the Queen Mother has sent people to pick up and drop off the third prince in recent days, he, the father of the emperor, cannot see this son.
However, he was summoned many times by the envoys and judges of the Imperial Hospital, and the imperial doctors were also questioned, so at this time he was furious.
"Who's talking behind your back?"
Facing such an angry emperor, Chen Yongshou immediately regretted that he should not have rushed to report such a thing that was definitely not good news, but now it was too late to take regret medicine, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet
He said in a low voice: "Yes...it is said that it was spread by a certain attendant in Ciqing Palace. Someone from the Chief of Ceremonies heard it and came to tell the slaves when they left the palace."
Seeing that the emperor's face was as dark as the night before a storm, Chen Yongshou was pounding in his heart, secretly wondering if the chamberlain who had said this had gone crazy, and whether the chamberlain who had passed the news to him would listen.
Wrong. However, when the man hurried over before, he didn't know if he was too angry and yelled this directly, so he couldn't hide and delay.
Of course, because others had also heard it, he had no time to inquire in detail, so he could only tell the other person to keep silent and come to report it immediately. As a result, the emperor was just like the chamberlain, he was so angry that he spoke directly.
At this moment, the emperor had no time to think about Chen Yongshou's entanglement, and the previous purpose of leaving the palace to relax was completely forgotten by him. He almost walked out without even thinking about it. However, just before leaving
After a few steps out, he suddenly turned and looked at Zhang Shou.
"Zhang Qing, you are also a lecturer in the East Palace, and the attendants in Ciqing Palace are also your students. You come with me to the palace! I want to ask them what Saburo can't do with them, why he wants to
So arranged by them!"
Although Zhang Shou had thought about the possibility that the third prince, the prince, was pretending to be ill, this was really exposed at this time. In addition to finding it ridiculous, he also found it unbelievable - which servant could be so stupid as a pig to let out such a rumor?
?Especially now that no one is competing with the third prince, and the government and the public are praising this wise prince, is this looking for death?
However, he did not want to go into the palace at this time and face the farce of the prince pretending to be ill and escaping from the palace. However, the emperor did not put down these words and turn around and leave. Instead, he stood there waiting for him, as if he had done it before.
As a witness, he really couldn't shirk it. Thinking that the Queen Mother and Zhu Ying might have played corresponding roles in this drama, he sighed helplessly.
At that moment, he turned around, nodded to a group of students and said: "You will preview the fourth section in a moment and do exercises one to nine. Some questions have two or even three solutions. You can do it yourself."
Think about it first."
Seeing Zhang Shou walk out after finishing speaking, others were fine. The blond boy who had been trying to understand the meaning of the conversation just now suddenly jumped up and shouted: "Xueshi Zhang, you want to talk to this uncle... No, the emperor is entering the palace.
Are you going? Aren’t you going to continue class today?”
The emperor didn't expect that such an outsider would suddenly jump out. After being despised just now, he praised him again, "Uncle, you are very strong." He felt that this foreign boy had some vision. The most important thing is that he is quite young and may have a bright future.
It was possible for the third prince and the fourth prince to learn the language of Fanbang... Therefore, almost in a flash of thought, he spoke out.
"This kid is a bit interesting, but he can't eat and drink for free at the public school and let him do odd jobs when he has nothing to do. Otherwise, you can't let you pay for his living expenses and tuition fees. If he has good arithmetic skills, he will be able to pay for it in the future.
Maybe I can be among the top in the monthly exams and attend Ciqing Palace."
Zhang Shou glanced at the confused blond boy, and thought that if it really turned into a scene of Wu David attending Ciqing Palace, it would be a really beautiful scene. However, this was not the time to think about this, he could only think about it.
Ji Jiu winked and asked someone to explain clearly to the blond boy, and then gave instructions to the others.
"What you just heard is not allowed to be spread to anyone else. Violators will bear the consequences at their own risk!"
He warned the students to keep silent, and when he quickly followed the emperor and walked out of the gate of the public school, Zhang Shou saw that Zhu Hong had heard the news and came out to lead his horse and was waiting there. The emperor had already galloped out at the lead. After getting on his horse, Zhang Shou
, and immediately whispered to Zhu Hong: "Go to the women's school and send a message to Yingying, saying that the emperor has forced me to go to Ciqing Palace."
Seeing Zhang Shou raising his whip and leaving, Zhu Hong had no time to ask too many questions, so he could only follow the instructions with suspicion. Of course, the other generals of the Ding family who Zhu Ying ordered to follow Zhang Shou today naturally followed Zhang Shou closely.
So, when the group of people rushed all the way to Dong'an Gate, these followers who originally came from Zhao Guogong's Mansion passed the gate smoothly, and were not allowed to stay until Donghua Gate. After all, going forward is the scope of the palace city.
Not even most foreign officials can trespass, let alone them.
If it weren't for the fact that Donghua Gate not only contains Ciqing Palace, but also the Wenhua Palace and the Cabinet, the emperor would have wanted to enter directly on horseback. That is to say, if he, the emperor, suddenly rode a horse in the palace, it would be easy for people to think that something big that shocked the world had happened.
, he abandoned his royal horse at Donghua Gate and walked in angrily.
Zhang Shou, who was following behind, couldn't keep up with the emperor's super long legs, and he didn't want to follow the emperor into Ciqing Palace and crash the scene immediately, so he simply fell behind slowly.
Since he was an old face in the Tongji Palace who often went to Ciqing Palace to give lectures, so although he was completely abandoned by the emperor and his entourage and fell alone at the back, he was still in the east of the palace, the area with the most foreign officials.
, but his appearance was not too eye-catching. Until he entered the Huiyin Gate in front of Ciqing Palace, no one asked him a word about where he was.
And when he got here, he met someone blocking his way. They were seven or eight Ruiqi camp guards guarding the gate. Because he came and went often, the guards just checked his tooth tag as usual, and after registering, the one and
The captain he was very familiar with asked softly: "The emperor just came in angrily. What happened?"
"I don't know either."
Zhang Shou's face was full of surprise, and he even showed the right amount of confusion. Seeing that the team was laughing loudly as if they knew they had made a mistake, he immediately stepped aside. He deliberately slowed down a little to avoid the possible storm inside, but
Thinking that this was under the eyes of many guards, he finally quickened his pace a little.
So, when he stepped into Ciqing Palace, he was met with the emperor's thunderous wrath: "What is going on? Where is the prince?"
Zhang Shou saw the innocent face of Lu Sanlang at a glance. To be honest, the little fat man's face always looked honest and honest, as if he was just a simple and honest fat man. But people who are familiar with him know that this kid is full of bad ideas.
Neither he nor the emperor would be easily fooled by the expression of the little fat man in front of him.
In fact, the emperor came in angrily and got angry at the many ministers as soon as he entered the Ciqing Palace. When Chief Yue Shan stepped forward to persuade him, he noticed that Lu Sanlang, the little fat man, was nowhere to be seen.
The third prince who was supposed to appear immediately was also missing.
He saw the screen with a sullen face. After Chief Yue Shan said that this was the prince's move to prevent the disease from spreading to others, he rushed behind the screen with a pounding heart, only to find that there was only one desk and one desk there.
An empty chair, and a little fat man standing there blinking at him!
However, at this moment, those who were more nervous, or more horrified, than the little fat man who was pulled out by the emperor's own hands, were the other trembling attendants. They had just expressed that they knew nothing, but now they saw that the emperor clearly understood
With expressions of disbelief on their faces, they trembled even more.
On the other side, Chief Yue Shan felt it was simply ridiculous. When he first came to give lectures, he clearly saw the third prince. Although he was mute and could not speak, he could at least communicate through words. Lu Sanlang
Then I sent him a message to ask questions, and the whole lecture process was just a little more complicated than before...
Why did His Highness the Crown Prince disappear all of a sudden? Could it be that the Third Prince was so miraculous that he disappeared from Ciqing Palace?
But when he came into contact with the emperor's extremely stressful eyes, he suddenly thought that when the Queen Mother suddenly came to visit the third prince, she came and left in a hurry. After the Queen Mother left, he clearly remembered that this
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince never left behind the screen, and he never saw him again. In other words...
A certain possibility suddenly came to mind, but when the words came to his mouth, Yue Shanchang felt that no matter what he said, it was inappropriate. He could only glance sideways at Lu Sanlang, who obviously knew the whole story, and then lowered his head.
, said in a deep voice: "When I came to teach in the morning, His Royal Highness was still there."
The emperor could still trust Chief Yue Shan's character and conduct. Since people said he was there when he first taught the class, he believed that the third prince must have been here at that time. However, now that he was indeed missing, he looked at it with an angry face.
He turned to the poor little fat man and asked word for word: "Lu Sanlang, what do you have to say?"
"The Queen Mother has taken Her Royal Highness away." Lu Sanlang, who had been silent since meeting the emperor, finally told the truth readily. However, as soon as his confession came out, everyone was severely punished.
He was startled. And that's not all, he blinked innocently and said something else in a nonchalant manner.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also specifically ordered that after he leaves, calculate the time to expose this matter before the end of Chief Yue Shan's lecture, so that others will know. It is best to have the Emperor come to Ciqing Palace after returning to the palace.
Of course I was unwilling to expose his absence, but after the Queen Mother came here, she also ordered the same thing, so I had no choice but to do it."
Seeing that the emperor was dumbfounded, other attendants were dumbfounded, and even Yue Shanchang had a confused face, as if he was wondering if there was something wrong with his ears. The only outsider - at least Zhang Shou himself thought he was an outsider in this matter.
Because he really didn't know anything - he had to cough.
"Have the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince ever said why they did this?"
With a word that woke up the dreamer, the emperor suddenly woke up and immediately stared and asked: "Yes, what are they going to do?"
Lu Sanlang did not answer immediately, but said to himself with an aggrieved face: "I have tried to persuade His Highness the Crown Prince, but His Highness the Crown Prince has made up his mind and cannot persuade him to come back. And when the Queen Mother came to take His Highness the Crown Prince away,
That’s unreasonable…”
When he said this, he paused for a moment, as if to give everyone a chance to react, and then whispered: "The Queen Mother said that Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been sitting in Ciqing Palace at a young age, like a young adult, and he is sensible.
But compared to the emperor back then, she always felt that His Highness the Crown Prince was a little pitiful, so since he wanted to see his brother so much, she would help him."
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall fell silent. The emperor looked at Zhang Shou and saw that Zhang Shou's own expression was full of confusion, and he looked like he was bursting with surprise. He finally laughed, but it was really a bit bitter.
Zhang Shou saw the emperor's anger melt away in an instant, but he couldn't help but said angrily to Lu Sanlang: "If we go to visit the fourth prince, couldn't we have told him in advance, or the emperor would still stop us?"
"That's what I said." Lu Sanlang made a bitter face, as if I had tried my best to persuade him, "But His Highness the Crown Prince said that he just wanted to leave the palace quietly to meet the fourth prince, and by the way...
…By the way, I can also experience what it was like when the emperor built a plank road to cross Chencang secretly and sneak out of the palace."
This time, the emperor's face was truly dark. How many years have passed, and although he did not specifically ban it, except for the Queen Mother and Ge Yong, who else would bring out his dark history? The Third Prince lives
In the past few days in Qingning Palace, what exactly has the Queen Mother been indoctrinating into people... She won't tell others all the messy embarrassing things he did in the past, right?
If this is the case, how can he act like a strict father in the future?
Zhang Shou wanted to laugh, but since the emperor's face looked like a pot helmet at this moment, he still tried his best to keep a serious face, but the raised corners of his mouth revealed his mood at this time.
He scolded him seriously: "How could such a stable person as the Crown Prince say such a thing! Are you sure you are not trying to shirk responsibility and just blame everything on him? Besides, the Queen Mother is strict and fair, and she has never been doting.
As someone who favors her grandson, how could she allow His Highness the Crown Prince to do such nonsense!"
Lu Sanlang looked like he was about to cry: "Teacher, I thought that after the Queen Mother came, maybe I could make sense if I tried to persuade her. But how did I know that not only did the Queen Mother not persuade me, but she even said to me, "People
Aren’t you frivolous and wasting your youth?”
As if a jar had been broken, he raised his head and looked at the emperor, and said confidently: "The Queen Mother said that the Emperor was so furious when she was looking for the Prince now that she sent people to look for you after hearing that you were leaving the palace.
The mood is exactly the same. Father and son are connected to each other, and mother and son are connected to each other. Please be considerate of him back then and the young prince now."
The emperor just felt like his breath was choking in his chest. It was really a thousand kinds of feelings in his heart!
