293 Chapter note (1)
"King Ning is tyrannical by nature, and he acts according to his will. As long as I don't do what he thinks, he will have hatred against me." Rong Xia smiled, "I'm just worried about the people of Daye, what should happen in the future ?”
Banhua sighed and said after a long silence, "Is Xie Wanyu showing his favor to us, or to the prince?"
Rong Xia stretched out her fingers and gently pressed her frown: "No matter what she wants to do, it's not worth worrying about her now."
Banhua pinched his finger and chuckled, "I know, you should be careful these days."
"good."
Since the last assassination incident, Rong Xia has arranged many guards in the main courtyard, and the entire Hou Mansion has been thoroughly checked. Once the boat capsized in the gutter, he didn't want to make the same mistake again.
At the end of the first month, King Ning's family finally moved out of the palace. The palace had been prepared long ago. Although King Ning was unhappy, he had to pretend to be happy after moving into his new home, and invited others to come to the banquet A guest in Fuchu.
What made Jiang Luo angry the most was that Ban's family and Rong Xia actually found an excuse to send a gift but no one came. This was almost like telling the entire capital's dignitaries that Cheng'anhou's mansion and the Ban's family had a bad relationship with him.
It would be fine if there were only these two families, but several families claimed to be sick and asked people to send generous gifts respectfully, but they didn't even send a junior in the family. Most of these people have a relatively good relationship with Rong Xia, or they have always admired Rong Xia.
After hearing the report from the servants, Jiang Luo overturned the gift box sent by the family to the ground, and the Jade Guanyin worth nearly a thousand taels was smashed to pieces.
The long follower next to King Ning saw that it was Jade Guanyin that was smashed, and his expression changed drastically. Today is the day of the prince's housewarming, and it would be too unlucky to break Jade Avalokitesvara. He wanted to reach out to pick up the broken pieces of jade on the ground, but was kicked away by King Ning, who stepped on Yu Guanyin's head, his eyes were full of haze.
"They're all ignorant dogs."
Xie Wanyu stood at the door, seeing that King Ning was getting more and more unable to control his emotions, he chuckled and turned to leave.
"Princess," the maid accompanied her back to the house, "Will the note you gave Princess Fule make Princess Fule think that King Ning wants to assassinate Marquis Cheng An?"
"That's her own business." Xie Wanyu wanted to smile a little darkly, "I have already given the favor that should be given. If she is not careful, she can't blame me." Although she doesn't hate Banhua very much now, she also Can't talk about what I like.
She is already in such a difficult situation now, if other people have fun, she is very willing to watch.
With the absence of many important people, the housewarming banquet hosted by Jiang Luo seemed a bit deserted. From the beginning to the end of the banquet, his complexion was not very good, and a maid served him unsatisfactorily in the middle, and was kicked by him in public In the end, this maid was carried down by other people.
Seeing King Ning's disregard for human life, the neighbors couldn't help being a little bit chilled. The meal was not to the satisfaction of the host and the guests. When everyone got up to leave, they felt a little rushed.
"Lord Liu," an adult called to stop Liu Banshan, and asked in a low voice, "I heard that Dali Temple has recently accepted a somewhat difficult case?"
The tricky thing about this case is that the defendant is the steward of King Ning's mansion. King Ning made up his mind that if Dali Temple moved his steward, it would be a disgrace to him, so he didn't want Dali Temple to arrest him. .
The housekeeper committed three lives, and King Ning refused to let Dali Temple take them away because of his face. This is really arousing criticism.
Liu Banshang sighed, shook his head and didn't want to say more.
The adult patted him on the shoulder understandingly, "It doesn't matter to us, I only pity the people of the world..."
Knowing it well, but being helpless, this is the current situation of the Daye court.
Ten days later, in the Great Moon Palace, Emperor Yunqing's spirits were exceptionally good. Recently, not only was he able to walk a few steps gradually, he even ate more food than before. He was more and more fond of Rong Xia and Ban Hua, and always felt that his current good condition was brought about by the joy of these two people.
"How many people have impeached King Ning recently?" He looked at the prince standing at the bottom, took a sip of health-preserving tea, saw that the prince was still hesitant to speak, frowned and said, "Prince, although you are the elder brother of King Ning, But you are also the future emperor of Daye, so what are you afraid to say or not to say?"
The prince knelt down and said, "Father, you will last forever, and my son is willing to be the prince for the rest of his life."
The hall fell silent, the prince knelt on the ground and did not dare to raise his head. The only sound he could hear was his own rapid breathing.
"No emperor can last forever, and so is I," Emperor Yunqing said with an unpredictable expression, "Get up and answer."
The prince stood up, looked at his father's old face and gray hair, and remembered the scene of his father holding his hand and teaching him to write stroke by stroke more than ten years ago. He couldn't bear his father's mood being affected by these things. The things his second brother did were indeed too much.
"Haven't figured out how to cover it up for your second brother?" Emperor Yunqing threw a memorial in his hand into the prince's arms, "Not even ten days after the second brother moved to Prince Ning's mansion, three servants stumbled and fell to their deaths. You If you still hide it for him, do you have to wait for him to kill everyone?!"
"Father calm down, my son has already comforted the second younger brother." Seeing that Emperor Yunqing's face turned pale with anger, the crown prince stepped forward and patted Emperor Yunqing on the back, "Speak slowly if you have anything to say, The body is pissed off."
"Hmph!" Emperor Yunqing sneered, "He sent troops to suppress the disaster victims, did it work?"
He may not care about the lives of some untouchables, but he is very concerned about his son's lack of brains. As a high-ranking person, he should have the most basic decision-making ability. If he can't even do this, what big things can he accomplish?
The prince's complexion suddenly darkened: "My minister has already tried to appease the victims everywhere, and there will be no major disturbances."
"I understand," Emperor Yun Qing waved his hand, "You step back."
"Father, the second brother is still young, give him a few more chances..."
"Prince," Emperor Yunqing interrupted the prince, "I knew how to become an emperor and how to govern a country when I was fifteen years old. As an emperor, I favor some people because of my hobbies. This bottom line, that is the faint king."
"I don't want you to become a wise king, at least don't cause catastrophe because you are partial to your own people, and end up with a bad reputation for thousands of years." Emperor Yun Qing waved his hand, "You step back and think about it."
"Yes." The prince walked out of the Great Moon Palace with a pale complexion, and met Xie Wanyu who came to greet the queen on the way.
