fake prince

Chapter 536 Zongren Mansion

What the emperor said was a little unclear, but Eunuch Zhao understood it immediately because he knew the inside story.

Your Majesty is going to restore Su Ziji's status as the emperor's grandson?

That's right, since we want to recognize this emperor's grandson, we can't let him bear the name "Su Ziji" anymore. We have to follow the naming rules of this generation of emperors and grandchildren of the royal family and choose a new one.

Since the former crown prince left, His Majesty has given the right to name the little prince and the grandson to the prince's mother and concubine or the parents of the grandson, and has never given the name himself.

Su Ziji is of the blood of a prince who lost his father and mother. The emperor is unwilling to give a name, so it is a more appropriate choice for the clan to agree on the name.

As for why the queen was not allowed to help choose a name, I probably don't intend to give Su Ziji too much honor, and now ordering the clan mansion to agree on a name is tantamount to telling the clan mansion: You can prepare Su Ziji now. Ziji was brought back.

Thinking of this, Eunuch Zhao was still a little worried that he might be wrong. This is a big deal. Just a moment ago, His Majesty was planning to calm down and not make decisions for Su Ziji. Why did he change now?

He whispered, "Your Majesty, what do you want?"

"It's just what you think." The emperor sneered: "After all, my good sons are too leisurely. If you don't do this, how will you know who dances the most? If you don't beat and beat, they will really turn upside down .”

Eunuch Zhao didn't dare to criticize this kind of thing, he got the answer he had determined, he bowed his waist, listened respectfully, playing the role of the best listener peacefully.

After a while, the emperor finally lost his interest in talking, and said: "Okay, I don't need you, an old slave, to watch over here for the time being. Let someone else come over to take over. You just go and do the things I told you. Be sure to keep an eye on it." Let Su Ziji return to Beijing quickly."

"Yes!"

Seeing the eunuch go away, the emperor's eyes fell on the case again, staring at the letter firmly, and said softly: "Although Emperor Long'an was first heroic and then dark, he was wise and martial, and his talent was actually top-notch, but in his later years, because of his energy, he was becoming an immortal. There is also the disaster of the prince fighting for it."

"Now it's my turn. I have to find something for you to do, so that you don't just stare at me and ruin my big business."

"I was hesitant about recalling Su Ziji to the family, but now that I want to come, I have to let him come back and fight with my sons."

Outside the Royal Study Room

Seeing Eunuch Zhao come out, a group of eunuchs fawned over him. Seeing Eunuch Zhao casually ordering an eunuch to take in as a substitute, the other eunuchs all looked at the back of that colleague with jealousy, feeling very depressed.

Although they are all high-ranking eunuchs, the competition is fierce. Several head eunuchs like Mr. Zhao are a little older. Who can take over and become the future head eunuch? In contention.

It is nothing more than to see who can have a more sense of presence in front of His Majesty, and also to see if he has a sense of presence in the eyes of the current chief eunuch like Eunuch Zhao.

Eunuch Zhao was too lazy to watch these young eunuchs vying for favor, so he gave them a few instructions to let them do their jobs here, and then he walked out quickly.

When several eunuchs looked at each other and smelled something happened, a young eunuch not far away rolled his eyes, turned around and left.

"Pfft! What?"

In the palace, King Qi was sitting in the front hall drinking tea, looking at a directory, how many people in it wanted to join him, and then he considered whether to accept it or not. Hearing the news from the eunuch, he spit out a mouthful of tea.

"Father wants to summon Su Ziji, and also want to list him in the clan mansion?"

The eunuchs from Da Nei and the clan's residence sent back the news at the same time, one of them might have made a mistake, and several eunuchs have sent back such news, so it is impossible to make a mistake.

King Qi was in a good mood at first. Although Wen Xunpeng was a little incompetent, the news from Shun'an Mansion was full of twists and turns. In the end, the flood did not rage, and only covered a distance outside the mansion. It was bombed, all the people were affected, Shun'an Mansion lost a lot, no matter whether the dam is closed or not, in King Qi's view, it is only offset by the merits and demerits of building the dam before.

Su Ziji obviously couldn't satisfy his father after this incident.

King Qi could guess that even though his father was angry about the bombing of the water diversion canal and the dam, if he looked closely at the matter, the involvement would be extensive, at least it would be quite turbulent.

As the emperor is getting old, he may not be willing to suddenly break the balance in the court for the sake of a Su Ziji.

But who would have thought that things would actually develop in a direction that he thought was unlikely?

Not only was Su Ziji fine, but he also accelerated his pace of return. King Qi blushed when he thought of this, and stood up abruptly: "I'll call a few gentlemen to come here to discuss matters immediately!"

"Yes!" The servants who took the order went to invite people immediately.

When Wen Xunpeng heard the news, he was playing chess with a new official, Wang Sheng. Because he had regained some of his status recently, Wen Xunpeng planned to go all out to seek the top position again and become the number one counselor in front of the prince again. He himself was a bit alone, and it happened that his friend Wang Sheng came, and the two had a discussion.

When the two were chatting about the current situation in the capital, the servant who had come to invite them arrived.

"Your Highness called us over? Do you know why?" Both Wen Xunpeng and Wang Sheng pushed the chess pieces and stood up.

That servant happened to have benefited from Wen Xunpeng, and because Wen Xunpeng and the others would know what was going on in a while, he didn't hide it, and whispered a few words he had heard to the two of them.

Wen Xunpeng's expression changed when he heard this, and he turned to look at his friend, only to find that Wang Sheng's expression was also serious.

When the two rushed to the prince's place full of worries, they felt even more thumped when they saw King Qi's expression.

What the servant heard was only a few words, and what he told the two was even more limited. When they came, they had already thought about the matter seriously, but at this moment, the prince's expression seemed to tell them that the matter might be more serious than what they thought serious.

When the counselors arrived one after another and sat down, King Qi said with a gloomy face: "I got the news from the palace that my father is going to call Su Ziji back. Not only do I want to summon Su Ziji, but I have ordered my family to come back today." The government wants to renegotiate the name for Su Ziji..."

"what?!"

King Qi's words immediately poured a basin of water into the boiling oil pan, and immediately caused the hearts of the counselors present to be shocked.

Wen Xunpeng thought about it and said: "Your Highness, this matter seems to be for the purpose of recognizing Su Ziji, but there must be something else inside."

Wang Sheng nodded: "Brother Wen's words are absolutely true."

"Your Highness, there is indeed something wrong with this matter. You had to scold him before. Now His Majesty is going to summon Su Ziji and list him in the genealogy. I am afraid that the drunkard's intention is not the wine, but your Highness."

King Qi's expression froze immediately: "Mr. Wang, your words have reminded me of this."
