Red House Shoufu

Chapter 128 Father and Son
The emperor's tone was extremely harsh, and in a rage he bluntly said that he would kill Qian Xingde.

"My lord, calm down!" Xia Shouzhong knelt down and persuaded him, "The sage didn't agree with the concubine of Dongping County, it's just a rumor..."

"Isn't she doing this to want me to be charged with unfilial piety again? Then I will fulfill her."

The emperor flicked his sleeves, and said to Lin Shu with a livid face, "Go and draw up the decree, I want to see if he, Qian Kangshi, dares to bark his teeth at me!"

Before Lin Shu could figure out what happened, he turned to look at Xia Shouzhong.Xia Shouzhong shook his head lightly, motioning for Lin Shu to persuade the emperor.

"What do you think he is doing? Could it be that my words don't work?" Under the emperor's furious anger, Lin Shu felt like a violent storm, with a formidable aura.

However, he did not go to draw up the decree, and bowed to advise: "I don't know what happened to make His Majesty so angry. But for the matter of Qian Xingde, His Majesty has ordered the three divisions to interrogate it yesterday. Whether it is life or death, it should be judged by the Great Chu." Punishment by law. Your Majesty, as a king, if even you don't respect the law, then who will take the law seriously?"

The emperor picked up a stone paperweight on the table, and wanted to smash it at Lin Shu in anger.When he saw Lin Shu with a stubborn face, he held back his anger and slammed it on the table.

Snapped!
"As the king of a country, can I still listen to the third division if I kill a guilty person?"

Lin Shu replied solemnly: "I said yesterday that there are laws to abide by, laws must be followed, law enforcement must be strictly enforced, and law enforcement must be punished. This is the rule that law enforcers need to abide by. How should Qian Xingde be sentenced?" When to die, the law shall prevail. Your Majesty, as the highest law enforcer in Da Chu, must not set a precedent of judgment before trial."

With that said, Lin Shu prostrated: "Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Xia Shouzhong also followed Lin Shu to persuade: "My lord, Lin Xueshi is right, there are so many rumors in the market suddenly, maybe their purpose is to anger the emperor. Think twice, my lord!"

The Qinzheng Hall was silent except for the breathing of the three people. The emperor looked at Lin Shu and Xia Shouzhong who were kneeling in the hall, and slowly regained his senses.

"Get up, companion, tell Lin Aiqing about the report of the Embroidered Clothes Guard just now..."

……

It turned out that this morning, I don’t know where there was a rumor: the emperor was dissatisfied with the Supreme Emperor’s control over the government, and began to attack the civil servants and generals who were loyal to the Supreme Emperor...

Qian Xingde, the eldest son of Dongping County, was beaten to death by an officer of the Shuntian Mansion because he did not restrain his subordinates. The emperor even asked someone to beat the Dengwen Drum, intending to use the ancestral system to forcibly punish Qian Xingde for the crime of lax discipline.

The princess of Dongping County pleaded with the Supreme Emperor, but the emperor completely ignored the Supreme Emperor's wishes and instructed the third division to make a judgment as soon as possible...

In the end, it has become several different rumors, such as two saints fighting for power, father and son discord, emperor's rebellion and so on.Anyway, the labels of infidelity, filial piety, and injustice were all put on the emperor's head, no wonder the emperor was so angry.

After listening to Xia Shouzhong's explanation, Lin Shu asked, "Your Majesty, does the saint know about this?"

Such clumsy sowing dissension is the easiest way to arouse the curiosity of the common people.

Royal gossip is definitely the most popular topic among the people in the capital. It doesn't matter whether it is true or not. If three people become tigers, what is false will become true.

Xia Shouzhong replied: "The princess of Dongping County did come to the palace today, and she is meeting with her in Longshou Palace. But the sage didn't send a message to the emperor, and she didn't even want to pay attention to the princess of Dongping County at first."

"Then this matter is interesting. What is the purpose of planning this rumor? Is it to provoke the father-son relationship between the sage and His Majesty? I don't think this is the purpose. The moment the sage sat in His Majesty, he knew that only His Majesty was the one. The most suitable heir to the throne."

Lin Shu took a peek at the emperor's expression, saw that he was not angry, and was even listening seriously, so he continued: "As for the discord between father and son, it's just that the saint has been in a high position for a long time, and he is not used to it when he is idle. And he is an old man. I'm afraid that His Majesty has just succeeded to the throne, and there will be problems in handling the government affairs. It's like... a tiger cub is hunting for the first time, and there will always be a tiger king plundering nearby."

"These words are quite appropriate. In the past two years, Emperor Father really doesn't care much about the affairs of the court. I used to think that Emperor Father didn't want to delegate power because he felt that I was not as good as Old Thirteen and the others, so I wanted to change..."

The emperor paused for a moment, then sighed: "From now on, it seems that the father is worried about me and is protecting me!"

"Parents' beloved sons have far-reaching plans. The sage has been in office for ten years. In contrast, your majesty hastily ascended to the throne. In the eyes of the sage, your majesty is a little immature in dealing with government affairs, and it is easy to act too hastily. Now your majesty is in government affairs. The more mature he is, the old man can feel relieved, so he won't interfere anymore. For example, regarding Qian Xingde, I guess the saint and His Majesty should have the same views."

During Lin Shu's stay in Beijing, he had been observing the relationship between the Supreme Emperor and the emperor.Da Chu, the supreme father and son, perfectly interpreted the strange relationship between the father and son of the Tian family.

The Taishanghuang chose Zen to be located in the emperor because he considered that apart from the former prince, the emperor was the most suitable heir to the throne.

As for the first few years, the Supreme Emperor firmly controlled the government. In addition to the reasons Lin Shu just mentioned, there was also the factor of not being reconciled to boring old age.

Of course, up to now, it is estimated that what the Supreme Emperor is most afraid of is that if he dies, the emperor will kill the faithful Wang Gao Yongyi and Yizhong Prince Gao Wanjin.

After all, he is the person who has been sitting on the dragon chair for decades, Jiangshan Sheji is definitely the first in his heart.As the emperor became more proficient in handling government affairs, the Supreme Emperor became more and more satisfied with the heir to the throne he had chosen, so he naturally slowly transferred power to the emperor.

Otherwise, the emperor would not have won the loyalty of so many civil servants and military generals so quickly. Sometimes even Lin Shu felt that the Supreme Emperor was cooperating with the emperor in acting. Qingliu's loyalty.

Thinking of this, Lin Shu suggested to the emperor: "Your Majesty, since it is rumored that the saint wants to save money and prosper, it is better for your majesty to go to the Dragon Head Palace in person. I think the saint is very willing to see your majesty ask him for advice!"

As soon as the emperor's eyes lit up, he liked that his son would come to ask him for advice when he didn't understand anything. Every time he saw his son's admiration, he would feel very happy.

"Lin Aiqing, you are right. I really should ask my father for advice. After all, this is the first time someone has played the Dengwen Drum!"

……

In the Dragon Head Palace, the Supreme Emperor Gao Rushao was sitting on a high seat, listening impatiently to the cries of Princess Lu of Dongping County.

According to Lu Shi, Qian Xingde was filial to his parents and obeyed the law. It was only because his subordinates were ignorant that this disaster happened.

The Supreme Emperor felt sick to his stomach when he heard it, even though he didn't take much care of it now, but the Dengwen drum was sounded, such a strange thing, how could he not know the reason for it.

Even though he originally wanted to save Qian Xingde's life in Qian Kangshi's face, but the Dengwen drum was beating, so he pressed down on this idea.

"I heard that since your son came to Beijing, he has bought and sold by force, injured innocent people, and even wanted to take back Jia Daishan's granddaughter? Why did you say that he is a well-behaved and sensible boy?"
