His Royal Highness, he is plotting against me

Chapter 259
On the contrary, King Yi gained a lot of wisdom from a pitfall.

Hearing that his mother and concubine looked like "my uncle has been dismissed from office, what should I do if my mother and son are alone in the palace", I couldn't help but get angry.

"Why are you crying? This time, the father is wise, otherwise your son and I will be tricked by my uncle!"

"Let's not talk about the prince at that time, maybe he won't even be a county king!"

Concubine Li's cry faltered: "Yes, is it so serious?"

King Yi saw that her knees were covered with medicine, which she had knelt down to plead for his uncle two days ago.

Both knees were swollen, and I couldn't move for a few days.

He turned his eyes away and said bitterly: "It will only get worse!"

"Even if the father is kind and doesn't punish me severely, if the courtiers know that I, the king of Yi, has embezzled the money from the father, how can I hold my head up in the future?"

Seeing that his mother and concubine were still hesitant, King Yi said again: "Besides, I am also a father of your son now, and he is not a baby who has not been weaned. Do you still rely on uncle for everything?"

He was almost cheated by his uncle.

Anyway, he would never trust the Wu family again.

Father is right, he is a prince with a noble status, no matter what he can't be used by a courtier.

My son said so.

Concubine Li also slowly thought about it, but she still said:
"That's your natal family after all. Even if your uncle did something wrong, you should take care of them, huh?"

King Yi frowned and nodded.

"Okay, son, I'm not a heartless person."

Putting this matter aside, his uncle and grandfather treated him very well in the past.

Thinking of what her son said just now, Concubine Li said again: "I've been away for almost three months, and I haven't seen our Jie'er, you send him into the palace some other day and I'll have a look."

That's her grandson.

The only regret is that he is not a son-in-law.

But King Yi himself is not a son of a concubine, so he doesn't care so much about the difference between his concubine and his concubine.

On the contrary, because of the existence of the prince, the person he dislikes the most is the person who enjoys all the convenience by relying on his heir apparent.

Anyway, they are all his sons, and whoever has the ability can be his prince's son in the future, and he will be his son.

Time flies.

In a blink of an eye, it's New Year's Eve again.

This year, the weather was good, the people had enough food and clothing, and the border was safe.

It can be said that it is the most comfortable year during his current reign.

There was also a grand event of the opening of the canal, so it was also a year when Emperor Jiayu's name will last forever.

At the New Year's Eve banquet, His Majesty was in high spirits and announced a good news on the spot.

"April next year will be a beautiful time, and it will coincide with my birthday. I would like to invite all my lovers and foreign vassals to come to Beijing to celebrate the joy of longevity."

At the same time, His Majesty also sent invitations to southern Xinjiang, Beirong, Dongyue, Xiqiang and other countries, inviting them to send envoys to Dajing to participate in the Longevity Festival.

The former is understandable, and it happens every year.

The latter shocked the ruling and opposition parties.

Especially Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites are going crazy.

His Majesty did not greet them in advance, and the Longevity Festival is just at the beginning of spring, and there are only three months.

They also prepared according to the usual practice this year. The feudal lords who are close will have time to leave in the month, and those who are far away will set off two or three months in advance. At least they can catch up.

But foreign envoys can't do that!

Although the surrounding small countries are small, they are hundreds of thousands of miles away from Dajing. They want to send invitations, and the other party still wants to come over. How can it be done within half a year?

There are also guards of honor to welcome the envoys from various countries, and the post houses along the way, nothing has been arranged yet!
His Majesty opened his mouth, and his legs were broken!

Isn't this just making trouble for people!

Even the crown prince was a little puzzled about his father's birthday celebration.

Could it be that the old man was fascinated by his "unworldly achievements"?Want to show off to outsiders?

His Highness the Crown Prince squinted his eyes, and stood in the imperial study room, listening to the Secretary of the Honglu Temple and Cen Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites complaining to His Majesty with a look of lovelessness.

"Your Majesty, the time is really too short. I'm afraid that this small country that is a little farther away will not be able to reach Shangjing in time for the Longevity Festival!"

Honglu Siqing is over seventy years old, and his speech trembles.

His Majesty asked Eunuch Lu to move a chair for Honglu Temple Minister to sit down. He glanced at the prince who was more energetic than himself, and then said unhurriedly:

"It doesn't matter, the prince's people will handle the matter of sending invitations, and they will be able to ensure that they arrive in Shangjing in time. Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites will prepare the invitations and hand them over to the prince in three days. You can discuss other corresponding matters. .”

"My Dajing is now rich and the people are strong, the two adults don't need to be stingy with people and wealth, you just have to show my Dajing's majesty!"

Honglu Siqing and Cen Shangshu looked at each other when they heard the words, His Majesty has entrusted the most impossible things to the crown prince, what else do they have to say?
At worst, I don't want this old bone. I've been living in the yamen for the past two months.

So the two bowed to His Majesty and said in unison: "I obey the order."

Then, looking at the prince standing on the side, Honglu Temple Minister and Cen Shangshu expressed apologies: "Then I will trouble Your Highness, and within three days, the ministers will hand over invitations from all countries to His Highness."

Qin Ao nodded with a blank face.

"Well, the two adults have worked hard."

The two hurriedly said: "No hard work, no hard work."

After Honglu Siqing and Cen Shangshu came out of the imperial study, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

The Minister of Honglu Temple thought, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was able to send invitations to the surrounding countries in a short period of time, which shows that his power is far beyond that of King Yi and King Jing.

And His Majesty let His Highness the Crown Prince use this monstrous power without any scruples, which shows his trust and love for His Highness the Crown Prince.

Hundreds of officials celebrate each other, vassal kings enter Beijing, and other countries come to court.

Honglu Siqing glanced at the bright warm sun in the sky, and squinted his eyes.

The sky of Dajing is about to change!
Cen Shangshu was standing aside, carefully supporting the elderly Honglu Siqing, who was also his mentor.

"Teacher, please slow down."

Cen Shangshu, like his teacher, had speculations about His Majesty's move.

But he has always been a low-key person, even though he has many thoughts in his heart, he only shows his inner thoughts.

But on this day, he was thinking all kinds of things in the yamen, and finally went straight to his in-laws' mansion after the court——

Chen house.

Chen Yanzhi also just came back from the yamen, when his servants reported that the third grandma's natal master had arrived.

I heard that it was Mrs. Cen who came here. Mrs. Chen thought she was looking for it at this moment, and the two of them didn't go out because they were afraid they had business to discuss.

Instead, he ordered the kitchen to prepare the food and drink. If the in-laws and masters finished the discussion, they could have dinner before going back.

Chen Yanzhi went out to meet him, and when he saw Cen Shangshu, he smiled and said:
"Why is my brother free to come to my house today?"

Not only are they in-laws, but they are also from poor families, so they had some sympathy for each other before.

Especially after the two families became in-laws, they got closer.

Cen Shangshu is polite and gentle, and when he saw his in-laws, his eyes were full of smiles: "What? I'm not welcome?"

Chen Yanzhi hurriedly said: "Brother, what are you talking about? I can't even ask you for it!"

The two exchanged a few words in the flower hall, and Chen Yanzhi knew that his in-laws came to see him at this moment, probably because they had something to talk about, so he took them to the study.

Before going in, he called in a servant: "Go and tell the person in-law's master outside, and send him back to report a letter. His master is having dinner at our house today, so please don't wait."

The boy let out a happy "Hey" and ran out to spread the word.

Cen Shangshu laughed when he heard the words, but he didn't stop him: "The people in Brother Chen's house look very energetic."

Chen Yanzhi smiled mysteriously, and said, "If you follow from above, follow from below."

Then they both laughed at the same time.
