The emperor always wants to promise himself

Chapter 71

The people's voices became louder and louder, and finally they waited expectantly outside the official's mansion.

With such a commotion outside, it is impossible for the people in the mansion to pretend that nothing happened.

The prime minister got up early in the morning and was having dinner with his wife when a servant came in out of breath: "Master! It's not good, master!"

The prime minister paused with his chopsticks, and the side dish he picked up was yelled away by the voice. He frowned and looked at the pickled cucumbers that fell on the table, put down his chopsticks, turned his head with a downcast face, and scolded in a low voice: "What are you crying about so early in the morning? Who's wrong?"

The boy stood outside the main hall, bowed to the prime minister with his fists cupped and said, "No, sir, there are a lot of people coming outside! The common people blocked our gate, and the little ones dare not open the door, so they rushed to report to the master, this... What should I do?"

The prime minister's wife also put down her chopsticks, and frowned worriedly: "Why are there so many people here? Didn't you ask?"

The little servant hurriedly waved his hands, with a bitter face: "Ma'am, you don't know something. There are everyone outside. I feel scared when I look through the crack of the door. I just listen to what they are talking about, the Eighth Highness. I didn't hear the others clearly, I was afraid they would rush in as soon as I opened the door, many of them still had knives in their hands!"

The prime minister's brows were so tightly frowned that a mosquito could be pinched to death if it flew over.

One of his eyebrows raised: "With a knife? His Highness the Eighth Prince?"

The boy took a breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Yeah, they are too noisy, and the one I hear most from them is His Highness the Eighth Prince."

The prime minister's wife and the prime minister looked at each other, "Master, could it be that His Highness the Eighth Highness sent someone here? But our Prime Minister's Mansion seems to have never had any ill relations with His Highness Eighth Highness, right? The matter of the Prince Regent's Mansion was not aimed at His Highness Eighth. Should the Eighth Highness find fault with us?"

The prime minister raised his palms up: "No need to say much, just go out and take a look."

The prime minister took the maid's handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, got up and tidied his skirt and cuffs, then turned to the boy and said, "Lead the way."

"Yes Yes--"

The boy hurriedly turned around and walked in front, and the Prime Minister's wife stood up worriedly: "Master, are you going alone?"

The prime minister waved his hands without looking back.

The prime minister's wife subconsciously took two steps forward, and finally remembered that her master didn't like me interfering in his affairs, so she had to suppress her panic and sit down, but she couldn't eat a bite of this breakfast.

……

The prime minister's face sank like water, and he strode to the door. Seeing that the door was closed, he ordered the guards on the left and right: "Open the door."

"Yes."

The boy stepped forward to open the door, revealing the scene at the door. The Prime Minister was stunned after seeing it. The picture he imagined did not appear, and he saw a few people wearing light armor of the Imperial Forest Army standing at the door, with a sedan chair in the middle.

Rao is used to seeing strong winds and waves, so he can't help but feel a little confused at the moment, "Where is this, everyone?"

Seeing the Prime Minister coming out, a Royal Forest Army stepped forward to salute and said: "I have seen the Prime Minister, His Royal Highness has an order to invite you to enter the palace to go to court, but the weather is cold, and His Highness can't bear to let you go on foot, and the capital is not peaceful recently, Assassinations happen frequently, and the Imperial Forest Army is specially sent to escort your lord."

As he spoke, he raised his head and glanced at the prime minister: "Are you ready, my lord? If you can, let's get on the sedan chair now."

The prime minister's eyes froze, and the words that came to his lips were swallowed back. He wanted to say that he had a sedan chair at home, so there was no need to mobilize people like this, but the next sentence directly blocked his retreat.

People said that he was worried about the safety of adults, so what else could he say?While being sullen, he couldn't help but sigh, this is probably the prince's idea, right?To think of this move, the scheming is truly terrifying.

He stood silently for a while, and said to the Imperial Forest Army: "I am wearing ordinary clothes, and it is inconvenient to go to court, can you allow me to change into official clothes first?"

"Naturally, my lord, please—"

Similar scenes were also staged at the gates of other adults' mansions. Some of them were quite funny, thinking that someone came to search their homes, and greeted a group of servants carrying sticks and kitchen knives, planning to struggle to the death, and ran out while the crowd was chaotic. As a result, as soon as they went out, the common people looked at them like monkeys.

The scene was very embarrassing at one point, the adult almost found a rope and hanged himself at the door.

Some attitudes are more indifferent and alert, very uncooperative, such as Rong Guogong.

The ancestor of Rong Guo was a businessman. He lived in the capital for many years. He hated others who looked down on them, so the family was very sensitive.

How could he feel comfortable being stopped at the door by a group of ordinary people?

After coming out angrily, even though the Royal Forest Army explained the ins and outs, his face was still livid, "Even if Your Highness wants to invite me to court, it shouldn't be such a big fight, right? I appreciate His Highness's kindness, but a sedan chair, I am The Rongguo Mansion can still take it out."

As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves with a full posture.

But he didn't want to face Qingjun's Royal Forest Army to stand up and say: "Your Excellency, what you said is wrong. Your Highness is worried about your safety, so he specially sent me to escort you. After all, the capital has not been peaceful recently. If something goes wrong, His Highness will take care of you." Can't bear it."

He said with emotion: "Your Excellency does not appreciate His Highness's kindness, but blames His Highness for being so powerful, but why doesn't Your Excellency think about it, if the momentum is not big, how do you adults know that you are going to court?"

This person made a pun, on the one hand, he condemned Rong Guogong for his bad attitude, and on the other hand, he cryptically said that the adults would not accept the new master.

The people were quiet for a while, whispering.

"I seem to understand that His Highness the Eighth Highness has not ascended the throne yet, so the early court was interrupted for a while. Now that he wants to find someone to go to the court, he really needs to announce it in advance, otherwise everyone will not know!"

"That's right, and it's an escort. I think I'm trying to force the adults to express their views? Could it be that the adults don't like the crown prince, so..."

So what, the man didn't say anything, but everything was silent.

The people looked at each other, tacit understanding, it seems that the emperor is not so easy to be!
Rong Guogong's face suddenly turned greener. He didn't need to look to know how the people around him were looking at him.

He clenched his hands tightly and stared at the person in front of him with gloomy eyes: "Your Highness summoned me, why didn't I go?"

"It's fine if your lord is willing to go, but do you want to change your clothes? Or just go directly?"

Duke Rong flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly: "No, don't keep His Highness waiting, let's go!"

He got into the sedan chair angrily, and before the curtain fell, he took one last look at the speaker, a dark gleam flashed in his eyes, hmph, can't he cure the Eighth Highness, can't he also cure a little Imperial Forest Army?We'll see.

In an inn not far away, the window facing the street on the second floor was open, a white figure stood in front of the window, his eyes lightly fell on the noisy street below, and after a while he slightly curled his lower lip: "Interesting."
