Red makeup against the world

Chapter 466
"Your Majesty is in the prime of his life. Your Highness should be peaceful, diligent and self-disciplined. Even if someone tries to catch you, you will be invulnerable. It's a pity that the old man's arrangements have all been in vain."

Knowing Guan Jinghuan's intentions, the crown prince felt ashamed, and said: "If it is true, you have acted inappropriately, which will embarrass you."

Guan Jinghuan tapped his index finger on the handle of the armchair, and said: "The old man will come to see you tonight, and the emperor will know about it tomorrow. For today's plan, the old man can only protect His Highness with all his strength. It should be safe. But from now on, the court Everyone in China knows the old man's position, he is too passive."

The prince stood up, bowed respectfully, and said: "Mr. is sincere in saving water and fire. When he ascends the throne in the future, he will be regarded as the emperor's teacher. If he is sincere, he will be full of wealth and wealth."

He was only one step away from becoming the prime minister, so the prince had to make another promise.

Guan Jinghuan waved his hand and said, "No hurry. The prince knows, where did you go wrong?"

The prince thought about this question over and over in his mind, and immediately replied: "You shouldn't put yourself in danger and be seized by the other party."

Guan Jinghuan nodded slightly, and said: "The son of a thousand gold can't sit down, let alone to deal with the mere king of Chu, even the king of Qi is not worthy of the prince, you personally sit in the city and take risks. The superiors have no sadness, no joy, no anger, no anger. It means you can't show your emotions, let alone be so impatient. You are the crown prince, so what if you really played with Qin Suxi? Would the emperor still make things difficult for you because of a mere person? "

Awakened by his words, the prince suddenly realized: "I shouldn't accuse King Qi of framing me in front of my father."

Children can be taught.Guan Jinghuan said: "Your Highness, you have no real evidence. It is difficult to win the trust of the emperor with empty words, and the emperor thinks that you have a bad heart and have malicious intentions against the king."

The conversation between the crown prince and Guan Jinghuan made Mr. Du beside him break out in cold sweat.Many things he knew were wrong, but he didn't know why they were wrong.Most of the time, as the prince's staff, he was afraid of offending the prince and could not persuade him.

Zhang Feiping stood silently by the door, no matter what he heard, there was no slight fluctuation in his expression.

The conversation was coming to an end, Guan Jinghuan said: "I will submit the memorial tomorrow to protect Your Highness. Your Highness, you don't have to do anything, let alone let the Crown Princess enter the palace to intercede. I sincerely repent every day, and wait for the opportunity to make meritorious deeds."

"what chance?"

"This old man is not that Zhuge Liang. How can I know the opportunity?" Guan Jinghuan said with a smile, "However, the world is so big that there are big and small things happening every day. As long as you have the heart, don't you worry about not finding a good opportunity?"

……

The next day, Xuanzheng Hall, early court.

Emperor Qinglong looked at the dozen or so people kneeling below, and said calmly: "Get up." He signaled Wu Guangqi to collect their memorials.

These people are all officials of the fifth and sixth ranks listed above to impeach the prince.

"What else is there, gentlemen?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there has been too much rain recently, and the hydrological station has detected that the surface of the Yellow River and Tongji Canal have risen. It is the flood control season, and I believe that grain should be stored in flood-prone areas, rice prices should be stabilized, and embankments should be strengthened." Hao Mingyu, Secretary of the Ministry of Industry, reported road.

Emperor Qinglong nodded, and said: "The Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry will discuss together, come up with the regulations, and discuss them tomorrow."

Xu Yuan, Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, came out to lead the order.

After the courtiers finished their performance, Guan Jinghuan came out and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to play."

As soon as he came out, he was standing at the front. Zhu Zihou, a senior scholar of the Hongwen Academy and the Prime Minister, raised his eyelids, and there was a flash of light in his cloudy old eyes, and then he lowered his eyelids, returning to his trembling old state.

"Speak." Emperor Qinglong said.

"Prince Wei Mingxian, self-disciplined, eager to learn, diligent and self-disciplined. Helplessly kind, he was deceived by evil slaves and harassed the village." Guan Jinghuan paused, raised his voice, and said: "Of course! The prince is the foundation of the country. Easily swayed by trivial matters? Your Majesty is in the prime of his life, and the prince has a good nature and has enough time to practice."

He bowed slightly, glanced sharply at the officials in the back row who impeached the prince, and asked, "What do you mean by abolishing the prince and shaking the foundation of the country?!"

Guan Jinghuan was a Jinshi in the second list when the first emperor was in power, and now he is a second-rank official, only one step away from being an extremely human minister.

Now that he knows his destiny, he seems to be kind-hearted and kind-hearted.But his fierce tactics in his youth are still circulated among courtiers.Swept by his wink, those officials only felt two wars, and those who lacked concentration were only close to kneeling down and begging for mercy.

As soon as this remark came out, several ministers echoed, "The minister seconded the proposal."

Emperor Qinglong couldn't see any joy or anger on his face, he took a deep look at Guan Jinghuan, and asked lightly, "Master Zhu, what do you think?"

Zhu Zihou was called out, moved his body with difficulty to go out, cupped his hands and said: "I think that the imperial censor is courteous in impeachment, and Mr. Guan has something to say."

Wu Guangqi received a hint from Emperor Qinglong, and accepted Guan Jinghuan's memorial and submitted it.

Emperor Qinglong didn't even look at it and kept it by his hand.He got up from the dragon chair and walked to the back. Wu Guangqi hurriedly followed with the memorial.

The maids holding jade seals, golden rods, and palace lanterns on both sides followed one after another. Finally, two court ladies holding long-handled feather fans closed their rope fans in front of the dragon chair, announcing the end of the morning court.

All the officials walked out of the hall in order from high to low.

Zhu Zihou leaned on the dragon-head crutches bestowed by the late emperor, and when he passed Guan Jinghuan, he said casually, "Master Guan, are you in a hurry?"

Guan Jinghuan looked at his back, smiled slightly, and said, "You are old."

Zhu Zihou walked forward slowly, he paused for a breath, not sure if he heard it, and then walked forward.

……

Back in the Imperial Study Room, looking at his stack of memorials, Emperor Qinglong felt tired for the first time in his life.

In that stack of memorials, most of them are about the abolition and establishment of the crown prince.For the first time, the battle for succession was placed on the court.

Rubbing between his brows, he was about to speak when a eunuch outside the door said, "Princess Zhaoyang begs to see the emperor."

Princess Zhaoyang?The instigator of this incident, what is she doing here at this time?
Emperor Qinglong nodded, and Wu Guangqi said, "Xuan."

Princess Zhaoyang is dressed in men's clothing and hufu, with her black hair tied up in a jade crown, a pair of bright eyes looking forward, and she walks in a heroic posture.

She calmly walked into the room, and saluted: "Zhaoyang has seen Father."

Emperor Qinglong glanced at her indifferently, and said: "If you don't go to your mother to intercede, how dare you come to me?"

Princess Zhaoyang was neither humble nor overbearing, and said: "Father is fair in rewards and punishments, and will not be partial because of mother's pleading. Since Zhaoyang has done something, he is not afraid to admit it. Father, today, Zhaoyang is here to plead guilty."

Her eyes were clear and open-minded.

Emperor Qinglong laughed back angrily: "You framed the emperor's brother and instigated the courtiers to write a letter of impeachment. This caused unrest in the court and instability of people's hearts. According to family affairs, you disrespect your elder brother and set up a frame, and his heart can be punished. According to state affairs , you form a party for personal gain, and impeach the prince to shake the foundation of the country. Plead guilty? Can you bear the responsibility for this crime?"

Speaking of the latter, he spoke harshly.
