Guozijian little cook

Chapter 712 Everyone wants to lie to me

His Majesty was angry, and the morning court took a long time to end.

Do you think it’s over when the morning dynasty is over?

No.

There is also the Umrah meeting.

His Majesty left a list of people by name.

Then, Shang Linyuan and Si Nongjian stayed together.

Xiao Nianzhi:.

Guess why I can't laugh?

Because I don’t like to laugh by nature!

After the morning court approval is completed, the small court meeting will continue.

He waited until His Majesty's anger was vented before he started talking about business.

At this time, it was almost noon.

Xiao Nianzhi ate a palm-sized piece of sesame cake in the morning.

He didn't drink a sip of water, and now his throat was dry and smoking, and his stomach was empty.

However, His Majesty pretended not to see it.

The reason why His Majesty was angry about the artillery fire is actually simple.

Last night, there was an emergency report from Qingzhou. King Ning caused an explosion due to private artillery fire. Not only did the explosion in his house kill all the old and young people, but also blew up several nearby houses.

Nowadays, people in the Gyeongju Palace are in panic. No wonder His Majesty was so angry when he heard the news related to the artillery fire.

You know, His Majesty has been controlling all raw materials for artillery since last year.

However, Prince Ning is still causing chaos.

Moreover, he also blew himself up!

Even if you want to convict him, you can't.

Is it possible to whip the corpse?

His Majesty said that even whipping the corpse would not relieve his anger!

How dare he hide information behind my back!

Your Majesty can't help but start to wonder, apart from hiding materials, is there anything else that Prince Ning is hiding from me?

Are there any princes from other fiefdoms who have fooled me?

People are always suspicious, which may be a common problem for emperors.

Therefore, His Majesty's current behavior may be due to the influence of his age.

Xiao Nianzhi thought for a moment, and then retracted his thoughts. He couldn't think about it at this time. If he was caught by His Majesty, the consequences would really not be good.

Fortunately, after His Majesty had a fit, he told the ministers about last night's urgent report.

The old minister, who was almost crying after being criticized all morning, finally reacted belatedly.

He was implicated by Prince Ning!

However, I dare not say it out if I am suffering.

Since His Majesty has become suspicious about this matter, he must send someone to investigate.

Among the first-class princes in the capital, only Yan Xingxuan and Prince Kang were left to fiefdom.

The others had long since been sent away.

There are also some enfeoffed princes and their ilk, many of whom live in old age in the capital. They have no real power and at most have some spare money, which is not a big problem.

Send them?

Your Majesty is still afraid, they are covering each other!

However, His Majesty is not at ease with sending King Kang or Yan Xingxuan.

King Kang is not young, and his birthday is coming soon.

The King of Wei was young and had not experienced much, and His Majesty was afraid that Yan Xingxuan would be fooled.

Those old guys were very scheming, so he had to be careful.

So, who to send?

Your Majesty originally wanted to send Lord Meng, Hou Meng of Yong'an.

The other party is an old fox, even though he is just serving a job with honor.

However, people get positions based on their ability.

Thinking back then, he secretly helped His Majesty handle the matter of King Li's death in the imperial mausoleum.

Therefore, His Majesty is relieved to let him deal with other disobedient princes.

However, my son had just gotten married and there was a happy event in the family. I heard that my mother was not in good condition, so I sent someone to go at this time. If I and my mother missed each other, Your Majesty would still feel a little sorry.

His Majesty is very tolerant of ministers who are loyal to him and have meritorious service.

Therefore, Marquis Yongan cannot do it either...

Nan'an Hou Xia had just dealt with the disaster in Linzhou for himself. He was so tired that he lost a lot of weight, and he has not yet made up for it.

It's not good to torment one person all the time, right?

That would make it appear that Your Majesty has no one available. After much thought, His Majesty selected among the useful people, and then selected one.

Gang Zhou.

The censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

He is also the father of Concubine Rong.

After the former imperial concubine fell, although Concubine Rong's favor was no longer there, her status was not affected. In addition, His Majesty also enjoyed her playful manner.

Therefore, I went to Concubine Rong quite often.

Moreover, if a family dominates the court, it is very easy for relatives to take power, leaving many hidden dangers for the prince.

Therefore, the talents that should be used must still be used.

However, when employing people, you also need to consider the issue of balance.

Zhou Gang...

Your Majesty thinks it’s good, it’s him!

Noon passed and the morning meeting finally ended.

His Majesty left a few more people behind and summoned a few more people into the palace.

Xiao Nianzhi was lucky enough to be on the list of jobs outside the palace.

Xiao Nianzhi was really relieved when he left the palace and got into his carriage.

In the past, there was really no great pressure to get along with His Majesty.

However, now the pressure is getting bigger day by day!

At this time, if you can leave the palace, you have to run away quickly!

The last person sent to Gyeongju was Zhou Yushi, assisted by two fourth-rank officials, and several low-ranking officials.

For safety, His Majesty also assigned two teams of guards.

Gyeongju is a little further away, and its economy is not rich, but it is rich in minerals.

This is why Prince Ning has the ability to hide materials privately.

While the courtiers were trembling, Mr. Zhou and his men set off for Gyeongju under the heavy snow.

October ends with a heavy snowfall and November begins with a pure white.

The weather is getting colder and colder. In October, there are many small banquets and gatherings in the capital.

Although it was cold at that time, everyone could bear it.

But now...

Forget it, we can’t get together at all.

Xiao Nianzhi even needs a lot of courage to get out of bed every morning!

Although it is cold inside the bed, outside the bed, there is another world of ice and snow!

The eighth day of November is King Kang's birthday.

Prince Kang's Mansion had already sent a message to Xiao Nianzhi.

Naturally, the gift was prepared by the butler. After Xiao Nianzhi looked at it, he thought it was okay, so he wrapped it up and prepared it. He would go to the banquet when the day came.

The banquet for the other party's birthday was not held in the evening, but directly at noon.

The cook of Prince Kang's Mansion didn't fool the people in his house every day.

For such a big banquet, you still need to borrow someone from the palace.

The Queen Mother felt sorry for her son, and she didn't even need Prince Kang to tell her, as she had already made arrangements early in the morning.

His Majesty even went out of the palace to celebrate this younger brother's birthday.

However, His Majesty did not stay long.

It's the end of the year, and His Majesty has a lot to do.

So, after coming here, I sat for a while and took a look at the big cake ordered by Prince Kang’s Mansion from the Tang Shui Shop. After my eyes were full, I went back to the palace.

Xiao Nianzhi is still on duty today, but he can take leave.

So, come early.

Yan Changxia and two county heads greeted and entertained the female guests.

When Xiao Nianzhi came over, Yan Changxia came over with a smile and took her all the way to the backyard.

Xiao Nianzhi looked around and was a little surprised when he didn't see Yan Changxia's sister-in-law who passed by this year.
