After stealing the divorce book, Princess Salted Fish fell off her horse

Chapter 657

Royal Palace.

The emperor, who was reviewing the memorial, put down his pen and picked up the teacup on one side.

Eunuch Liu delivered a stack of folded papers, and said in his mouth, "Your Majesty, this is from the officials and nobles who requested an audience..."

He said a dozen names in one breath.

The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Duke Cheng also handed it over?"

Eunuch Liu said: "Yes, this is the fifth please see note in these four days."

"Okay, let him enter the palace!" The emperor pressed the center of his eyebrows, and said again: "Go, call Liang Wang into the palace."

Why did Cheng Guogong ask him to see him? Let them solve the matter of King Liang by themselves!

Eunuch Liu said, "Yes!" Then he went out of the hall to arrange for someone to pass the decree.

The emperor continued to review the papers. There are not many papers these days, and the emperor was not in a hurry. He slowly flipped through a book and saw that Eunuch Liu came to serve him again. He said slowly: "Da Zhu, my sons, what do you think? How is fifth?"

Eunuch Liu was startled, what does the emperor mean by asking this?
He hurriedly laughed and said: "The princes are all your sons, your majesty, so naturally all of them are good, and the Fifth Highness is also good!"

The emperor was of course dissatisfied with such a perfunctory and omnipotent answer, he squinted his eyes and said, "Then tell me, what's so good about him!"

Eunuch Liu saw that the emperor was not displeased at this time, of course, he also knew that the emperor did not ask the king of Liang like he asked the eldest prince and the fourth prince.

Because the general Zhen Guo conspired against him and Concubine Jing committed suicide, it is impossible for King Liang to become the candidate for the crown prince in his heart.

So Eunuch Liu replied very tactfully: "King Liang is quick in his work, able to lead troops and run errands, both civil and military, and will definitely become a good and capable minister in the future!"

The emperor laughed and scolded: "You old bastard, you played tricks in front of me, didn't you?"

Eunuch Liu hurriedly laughed together: "Your Majesty, how dare a slave, the emperor asks, and the slave will tell you the truth. If you say something wrong, your majesty, please don't take it to heart. It's a fart for you to be an old slave!"

The emperor glared at him with a smile and said, "Vulgar!"

Eunuch Liu laughed happily, slapped himself on the mouth, and said: "Your Majesty, look, this old servant is stupid, so this old servant will say whatever he hears, and say whatever he thinks, but he dare not play tricks in front of the Emperor." !"

"It's okay, I don't blame you!"

The emperor was originally interested in making jokes, but Eunuch Liu was a cowardly servant, so he couldn't help being frightened, so he became dull.

Half an hour later, a young eunuch announced from outside: "Duke Cheng is asking to see you!"

The emperor said: "Let him wait outside first, and come in together when King Liang comes!"

Eunuch Liu went to order.

After a while, the king of Liang also arrived.

The emperor said: "Xuan!"

Cheng Guogong and Chu Xinyuan walked into the hall together and knelt down: "I have seen my father!"

"I see the emperor!"

"Be flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Cheng Guogong looked at the emperor, and then at Chu Xinyuan. It seems that today's matter will come to a conclusion.

Just now, when I saw King Liang outside, he was very enthusiastic and greeted him with a smile, but before he could say anything, the eunuchs in the palace came out to summon him.So he didn't have time to say a word.

Chu Xinyuan's attitude made him a little displeased. He saw it outside, even if he didn't have a chance to speak, but the acquaintance, and it will be Weng's son-in-law, it's okay to meet their eyes, right?

But during the whole process, including now, Chu Xinyuan didn't look sideways.

The emperor glanced at the two people in front of the hall, then turned to Cheng Guogong, and said, "Fu Qing, you have asked for an audience many times, but is there something wrong?"

Cheng Guogong: "..."

Did the emperor forget about him?

But if he forgot, how could he summon King Liang at the same time?
He paused, bowed his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I, I would like to invite you to play, my little girl's marriage..."

"Oh!" The emperor said: "This matter is related to King Liang, King Liang, you and Cheng Guogong have a good chat, I will not interfere in this matter!"

When Cheng Guogong heard it, his heart turned cold. What does it mean that the emperor does not intervene?Does this mean that you will not be given a marriage?
The emperor said leisurely again: "When you have finished the negotiation, if you need a marriage from me, I will also give Cheng Guogong this face!"

Cheng Guogong's heart that had just cooled down for a while became hot again, that is, he wanted to talk to King Liang, and after King Liang agreed, the emperor would give him a marriage?

But this is not easy to talk about in front of the emperor.

There are some things that cannot be said.

However, Cheng Guogong still smiled all over his face, looked at King Liang, and said, "My son-in-law..."

Chu Xinyuan interrupted him unceremoniously: "Duke Cheng be careful, this king has nothing to do with you, don't you want to take advantage of this king?"

Cheng Guogong said displeasedly: "How can it be said that it has nothing to do with it? The little girl Han was rescued by the King of Liang, and now it has become a fact. Could it be that the King of Liang dislikes the appearance of the little girl Pu Liu..."

"Stop!" Chu Xinyuan interrupted him again: "Mr. Cheng, I respect you for being old. I didn't refute your nonsense before, but you can't pretend to be confused. People are This king's entourage rescued me, if you want to marry a daughter, this king can't help my entourage to hire me. But, you want to rely on this king, do you think this king is easy to talk about?"

Cheng Guogong was shocked. Today's King Liang's attitude is so tough, but because the emperor doesn't agree with this marriage?
But the last time he came to ask the emperor to make the decision, the emperor had already agreed to him.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sneak a glance at the emperor.

But seeing the emperor behind the case looked shocked, and when he saw him looking over, he restrained his expression and became as calm as before.

This is why even the emperor didn't expect Liang Wang to have such an attitude?

Cheng Guogong suddenly showed a hurt expression: "Your Highness, why did you humiliate the old man so much? Why did you humiliate the little girl like this? At that time, the maid who was close to the little girl saw it with her own eyes, but you said it was done by your followers. Why don't you let the little girl drown in the lotus pond directly, and save yourself from being humiliated today!"

"So, the king sent people to save people, and he also rescued the resentment?" Liang Wang said indifferently: "This matter, this king advises Cheng Guogong not to continue thinking about how to let the king take the blame. First, people are If the entourage rescued her, if the king married her, it would be humiliating the lord; second, don't think that you are the only one who proves that the entourage of the king personally went into the water to save people, his whole body was wet, and more than one person saw it! At the beginning, this king was just a thoughtful benevolence and wanted to follow the rescue, and he also considered that it was related to the woman's reputation, so this king didn't say anything. It was you, the people in Chengguo's mansion, who have been holding on to it. Even if this king didn't think about showing favor To repay you, you can’t repay your kindness with revenge!”

Cheng Guogong's face was gray and defeated, and he wanted to make a final struggle: "Your Highness, do you just turn a blind eye to my daughter's life? If the prince doesn't marry, what face will my daughter have to continue to gain a foothold in the capital?"

"Didn't you do it yourself?" Chu Xinyuan sneered: "It's your own fault. Do you think that this king is easy to deceive, or that the father is easy to deceive? You said in front of the father that the person was saved by the king. This is the crime of deceiving the emperor, I see, you Fu Guogong is very thoughtful!"

Cheng Guogong's face changed drastically, he fell to his knees with a plop, and said to his superior: "Your Majesty, I have absolutely no intention of doing this. Back then, the little girl was in a coma, and she was only a maidservant. She said in front of everyone that it was the King of Liang's act." Help, everyone in Dingyuanhou's Mansion has heard it. It's not that I'm talking nonsense, I'd never dare to bully you!"

"What about the little girl?"

Cheng Guogong's voice was a little lower: "She was frightened, her mind was in a trance, and she fell into a well and died!"

"What a death without proof!" Chu Xinyuan sneered, and said: "Although this king is not the best among father's sons, he is still a prince. It is really a good plan for Fu Guogong to plot against the prince like this!"

Cheng Guogong never expected that things would develop to this point, Liang Wang's attitude was so tough, even the matter of ruining a woman's name festival by falling into the water could not make him change his mind.

It's a pity that Han'er likes this person, which makes things so out of hand.

He bowed his head and kowtowed to the emperor: "Your majesty, I have no such intentions. I just love my daughter dearly. I didn't know the truth when I was not at the scene. I ask the emperor to read it out of my love for my daughter." Come on, pardon me for my fault!"

"Fu Qing is not at fault!" The emperor said with a light smile, "It's just that this twisted melon is not sweet. If the fifth person is really saved, I will definitely make the decision for Miss Fu. But the fifth vowed that it was just Saved by the guards. The daughter rescued by the guards, it is not appropriate for the fifth son to marry a prince. Fu Qing thinks so?"

"Yes, yes..." Cheng Guogong felt a little annoyed in his heart. He wanted to get married, not to make enemies.Whether it was rescued by King Liang's guards, or the rescued by King Liang did not want to take responsibility and presumed that it was the guards' actions, it all means that he does not want to marry.

Moreover, the emperor's words were gentle, and there was no shortage of beatings in the middle.

The emperor said: "Since the words have been clarified, then Fu Qing, would you like to marry the daughter to the bodyguard next to Lao Wu? If you are willing, I can also give you a marriage. If you don't want to, then Fu Qing will choose another good match for Miss Fu!" "

"Minister, I obey the order!" Cheng Guogong was resented by Chu Xinyuan so hard, but he didn't dare to show it, "I will choose another marriage for the little girl, thank you for your forgiveness!"

Don't choose marriage, to put it lightly.

The matter of Dingyuan Hou's mansion falling into the water, because he wanted Liang Wang to be unable to refuse, his wife asked people to release the news.So who didn't know that Han'er fell into the water and was rescued?
No matter if he was rescued by King Liang but not married, or rescued by King Liang's guards, he was always a man. Han'er's reputation was damaged, and it would be impossible to find a suitable husband in the capital for three to five years.

In his heart he hated King Liang, the Fifth Prince who no one knew about a few years ago, who was like a stinky rat in the gutter, and who had a reputation as a traitor.

OK!

He wrote it down!

Cheng Guogong left, and the emperor took a look at Chu Xinyuan.

The son's attitude today surprised him.

He asked casually: "You are quite angry today, he is the Duke of the state after all, you have completely offended him!"

Chu Xinyuan said: "My son's behavior is what he thinks in his heart. Even if he is a prince, he can't bully his son like this. After all, he is a prince. It doesn't matter if he doesn't take his son seriously, but he has to." Put the prince in your eyes!"

The emperor smiled, and seemed to be making a point, but also seemed to have some deep meaning: "Don't think that the Duke of the State is just a third-class Duke of the State, but after all, the family is big and the business is great, and there are many old relatives. If you really saved the person, you If you refuse, won't you regret it?"

Chu Xinyuan said seriously: "I have never been saved, I will not deceive the emperor! No matter how old his in-laws are, it has nothing to do with me. There are only right and wrong here!"

The emperor looked at him deeply.

This look of righteous indignation, this look of cold disgust made the emperor couldn't help laughing.

Among these sons, he has never personally taught them, nor has he personally invited great Confucian teachers to teach them, only the fifth and the seventh.

The fifth is that he forgot, and the seventh is that he does not want to learn.

But Lao Wu had military talent, he thought it was because he also had some blood of the General Zhen Guo's family in his body, and he once hated and alienated him.

Now it seems that this son is a good knife.

He is good at his job, he is dedicated to his work, and he leads the Gyeonggi Guards very well, and with his personality, anyone who doesn't like him can tear up his face on the spot, which is very easy to handle!
After all, he is his own son, useful and harmless, why not use it?

He said slowly: "You are not young anymore. Now your eldest brother, third brother and fourth brother are all engaged, and those who marry concubines marry concubines. Whose daughter do you want to marry? Why don't you make an appointment first! "

Chu Xinyuan said: "Father, my son has no intention of getting married for the time being. My son doesn't want to get married!"

"Nonsense!" The emperor glared at him: "The male college should be married, and the female college should be married. As a prince, you don't want to get married. Do you want to die alone?"

He narrowed his eyes: "Do you have someone in your heart?"

Chu Xinyuan didn't speak.

"Could it be that that person is a married woman?" So, he knew that there was no hope of getting married, so why did he say that he didn't want to get married?
Chu Xinyuan hurriedly said: "No!"

"who is it?"

Chu Xinyuan kept his lips shut!
Seeing him like this, the emperor also lost interest, and said lightly: "It's up to you!" He said again: "I called you today because I want you to do an errand!"

"Father, please order!"

The emperor picked one, picked one from the pile of memorials on the right, and handed it to Eunuch Liu next to him, and Eunuch Liu hurriedly sent it to Chu Xinyuan.

Chu Xinyuan opened it and saw that bandits appeared in Quyi Mansion, looting passers-by. At the beginning, there were only a dozen or so people, but now they have gradually grown to hundreds of people. The local government has suppressed it several times, the trees are deep and the forest is dense, and the opponent is cunning and helpless, so they have to file a complaint.

The emperor said: "How about you take people to exterminate these gangsters?"

Chu Xinyuan said: "My son obeys the order!"

"Go back!"

Chu Xinyuan saluted and exited the hall.

At the door, he turned his head and glanced at the spacious and bright hall, the darkness in his eyes flashed past.

Asking him to suppress the bandits was not a matter of value, entrusting him with a heavy responsibility was just to transfer him out of the capital.

The envoys from the Western Tang Dynasty are about to enter Beijing. This is because he does not want him, the general who has fought against the Western Tang Dynasty, to appear in front of the Western Tang Dynasty envoys!
The old man wanted to hand over the task of negotiating peace with Xitang to his valued son.

But I don't know if one of his two precious sons who have never been on the battlefield and don't know Xitang knows the temperament of Xitang people.

Faint and incompetent, jealous, cold and heartless, didn't he know that old thing is that virtue?
