The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

In a certain study room of Taixue, Mr. Meng was reading articles and poems sent by his students.He read each article very seriously, and even revised or marked it.

When he came back from his lectures, Mr. Meng didn't take a break at all, he just focused on reading the articles or poems written by the students.Although there are many students whose articles or poems are so poor that they cannot bear to look directly at them, not only is he not angry, but he will seriously write down his opinions.

Li Pushe knew that Mr. Meng was busy reading articles or poems after his lectures, so he seldom came to bother him.However, he had just received a letter of invitation from the eunuch next to the prince, so he had to sit back and ignore it, so he could only come to disturb Mr. Meng.

Mr. Meng's book boy stood guard at the door of the study, and when he saw Li Pushe approaching, he hurriedly bowed to him, and then said that Mr. Meng was busy and didn't want anyone to disturb him.

Li Pushe said that he knew, but he had to hand over the greeting card to Mr. Meng, and he had to hand it in himself.

When the book boy heard what Li Pushe said, he opened the door of the study and asked Li Pushe to come in.

Old Mr. Meng watched carefully and did not hear the door opening. It was not until Li Pushe saluted him that he discovered Li Pushe's existence.

Li Pushe hurriedly apologized to Mr. Meng, saying that he didn't come here on purpose to disturb his old man.Because of the greeting card sent by His Royal Highness, he had no choice but to come here to deliver the greeting card.

Mr. Meng frowned when he heard this, and immediately reached out to take the greeting card, and then threw it aside.

Seeing that Mr. Meng didn't open it, Li Pushe hesitated for a while, and then opened his mouth to remind him.

"Old Meng, the person sent by His Royal Highness has not left yet, and is still waiting for your reply."

When Mr. Meng heard this, his eyes flickered with impatience, and he immediately said politely to Li Pushe: "Please tell the person sent by His Royal Highness that I am very busy."

Seeing that Mr. Meng was so rude to His Royal Highness, Li Pushe was a little surprised, and he felt that Mr. Meng was a little unhappy.He hesitated again and said, "Old Meng, you'd better read His Highness the Crown Prince's greeting card first, and then go back to His Highness the Crown Prince."

"It's not necessary." Mr. Meng's tone was a little cold, and immediately he picked up the greeting card that he had just thrown aside, and shot it at Li Pu: "Please shoot it back to the person sent by His Royal Highness."

Li Pushe was frightened by Mr. Meng's attitude, and asked with a changed face, "What are you doing?"

Mr. Meng said very bluntly and bluntly: "I don't want to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, nor His Royal Highness Dai Wang. I won't go if I ask them not to write invitations to me. Of course, I also hope they don't bother me."

Ever since Mr. Meng came to the capital, Li Pushe has always entertained him.Although the two of them didn't have much time to get along, Mr. Meng felt very kind and kind to Li Pushe. It was the first time he saw Mr. Meng being so displeased and rude.

"you……"

"Didn't the emperor tell the prince and the others not to disturb me casually?" Mr. Meng said with a slightly sullen face, "Didn't he also say that the prince and the others can't come to see me without my consent?"

Li Pushe said: "The emperor indeed made such an order."

"Then let the prince's people go back, and tell him not to come again." Mr. Meng just finished speaking, and suddenly thought of the articles and poems sent by His Royal Highness.He hurriedly got up and went to look for it.

"Old Meng, what are you looking for?" Seeing Mr. Meng looking for something in a pile of books and articles, Li Pushe walked over to help him find it. "I'll help you find it."

Mr. Meng found the articles and poems sent by His Royal Highness in the corner, and handed them to Li Pushe.

"Please send it back to the prince, and tell him that I have little talent and learning, and I am not qualified to review the articles of His Royal Highness."

Li Pushe took the article handed over by Mr. Meng in a daze.He looked at Mr. Meng in disbelief: "Aren't you afraid of offending His Highness the Crown Prince?" Mr. Meng...was too rude to His Highness the Crown Prince.

"Don't be afraid." Mr. Meng said coldly, "I'm just a bad old man. His Royal Highness wants to kill or cut whatever he wants."

Li Pushe: "..." I didn't expect Mr. Meng's temper to be so... so hot.

"I'm about to fall into the ground, so there's nothing to be afraid of." Mr. Meng returned to his desk, raised his head to look at Li Pushe, and his tone became much gentler, "Please tell me, Pushe."

"I will pass on your words to the prince's people verbatim."

"Excuse me, let me shoot."

"You're welcome." Li Pu shot saluted Mr. Meng, "Then I won't bother you, and I'll take my leave first."

"Pu She walk slowly."

Li Pushe walked out of the study, closed the door of the study with his hand, and immediately went to the living room in front.

Lu Cong was sitting drinking tea, when he saw Li Pushe came back, he hurriedly stood up.

Li Pushe politely apologized to Lu Cong for keeping him waiting.In fact, Lu Cong didn't wait for a long time, not even a moment.Lu Cong also felt that Li Pu shot back too quickly.

"Eunuch Lu, this is something that Mr. Meng asked me to give you. I hope you will pass it on to His Highness the Crown Prince." Before returning to see Lu Cong, Li Pushe thoughtfully packed the invitations and articles written by His Highness the Crown Prince in a brocade box.

Lu Cong first thanked Li Pu, and then took the brocade box with both hands.He hurriedly asked: "Mr. Meng, do you have anything to say?"

Li Pushe's expression froze for a moment, and immediately told Lu Cong exactly what Mr. Meng said just now.

Lu Cong's face was very ugly after hearing this.

He asked in disbelief, "Meng Lao really said that?"

"That's right, Mr. Meng repeatedly emphasized that His Highness the Crown Prince should not disturb him, and he also said that he is not qualified to review His Highness's articles, and that he is not as good as the gentlemen in the East Palace." Li Pushe did not embellish Mr. Meng's words, but conveyed them to Lu Cong verbatim.

Lu Cong's eyes were gloomy and cold, and his expression was gloomy.

He gritted his teeth and said: "Very well, I will tell His Highness the Crown Prince in detail." After finishing speaking, he shook the whisk in his hand, then turned and left.

Li Pushe did not send Lv Cong to the door himself, but asked his son to send Lv Cong away.

"Father, Mr. Meng said so, so you are not afraid of angering His Royal Highness?" Li Pushe's eldest son asked.

"Meng Lao said that he is about to go to the ground, and he is not afraid of His Royal Highness, and he also said that His Royal Highness wants to kill him and cut him at will."

Li Pushe's eldest son: "..."

After being stunned for a while, he asked with a very shocked expression: "Father, Mr. Meng really said that."

Li Pushe nodded: "Yes."

Li Pushe's eldest son exclaimed: "I didn't expect Mr. Meng to be so..." It's hard for him as a junior to say anything about Mr. Meng.

Li Pushe suddenly chuckled and said: "It seems that Mr. Meng is very dissatisfied with His Royal Highness." The more Meng Lao is dissatisfied with His Highness, the more beneficial it is to His Highness King Chu.

Li Pushe's eldest son also laughed and said: "It seems that Mr. Meng is very angry at the fact that the crown prince sent people to harass him."

"If he hadn't been annoyed by the crown prince and the king's people, Mr. Meng wouldn't have come out to give lectures." Li Pushe stroked his beard and said, "His Royal Highness Chu told us not to disturb Mr. Meng was right." When he heard that the crown prince and the king sent someone to invite Mr. Meng, Li Pushe told His Royal Highness about this matter. He thought they should also invite Mr. Meng, but His Highness Chu rejected it.

"Your Highness the King of Chu is still wise." If they send someone to invite Mr. Meng, they will probably anger him too. "Father, do you want to spread the word about Mr. Meng's attitude towards His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"No need to pass it on. After two days, everyone will know."

Li Pushe's eldest son thinks about it and thinks it is the same.

Mr. Meng has been giving lectures in the capital for a few days, but he has never seen His Royal Highness visit him. Everyone will know the reason when the time comes.

"Father, you said that Mr. Meng will go to Liangzhou to give lectures next stop, will he meet His Royal Highness King Chu?"

"Yes!" Li Pushe said very firmly, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu is different from His Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness Dai Wang. In the past two or three years, under the management of His Highness the King of Chu, there are more and more academies in Liangzhou, and more and more students go to Liangzhou to study, and there are also many literati students who go to Liangzhou to become officials."

He added: "Old Meng decided to go to Liangzhou to give lectures at the second stop, because Liangzhou values ​​scholars, and all this is due to His Royal Highness Chu."

Fearing that Mr. Meng would be dissatisfied with His Royal Highness Chu, Li Pushe never boasted about His Highness Chu in front of his old man, nor did he mention how much His Highness respected Mr. Meng.

His Royal Highness the King of Chu sent a letter to Li Pushe and the others to tell them not to mention him in front of Mr. Meng.If you mention it, it will be bad for him.

Not only did Li Pushe not mention His Highness the King of Chu, nor did he mention other princes, but only some talented students in the capital.

"Meng Lao went to Liangzhou, and he will definitely see His Highness."

"As long as Meng Lao meets His Highness King Chu, His Highness Chu King will be respected by scholars all over the world. At that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness Dai Wang..." Li Pushe's eldest son didn't go any further, but his rather smug expression said everything.

"Now, let's pretend we don't know anything." Li Pushe said on the ground, "We will treat Mr. Meng as the emperor tells us, and we must not do unnecessary things."

"Father was right."

At this time, Lu Cong had already returned to the East Palace, and told the prince exactly what Li Pushe had said to him.

After His Royal Highness heard this, he was naturally furious.Of course, it is still difficult to accept.He didn't dare to say anything wrong about Mr. Meng, so he could only blame Li Pushe, saying that Li Pushe was obstructing him and spreading Mr. Meng's words indiscriminately.He also said that Li Pushe must not have sent his invitations and articles to Mr. Meng.

Lu Cong felt that what His Royal Highness said was very reasonable, so he scolded Li Pushe together with His Royal Highness.

The eighth prince on the side just thought it was funny that His Royal Highness was so self-deceiving.Therefore, he proposed to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to sue the emperor about Li Pushe.

He said these words casually, but he did not expect His Royal Highness to take it seriously, and immediately went to the imperial study to complain to the emperor.

The emperor was reviewing the memorial, and when he learned that His Royal Highness had something to look for him, he asked Sun Kui to call him in.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walked into the imperial study room, first saluted the emperor respectfully, and then angrily accused Li Pushe.He accused Li Pushe of dereliction of duty, obedience and violation, and using Mr. Meng Lao to humiliate the prince and other crimes.

The emperor was dumbfounded.Sun Kui who was standing aside was also dumbfounded.

After His Royal Highness finished talking about Li Pushe's crimes, he asked the emperor to punish him severely.

The emperor put down the memorial and the cinnabar pen in his hand, and with a slightly solemn face, asked His Highness the crown prince if there was evidence for the crimes just mentioned.

His Royal Highness said yes, and then told the emperor what Lu Cong said to him.

After the emperor heard this, his expression became very strange.

His Royal Highness was still cursing angrily: "How could Mr. Meng say such a thing? It must be Li Pushe who used the name of Meng Lao to humiliate me. Father, Li Pushe is really too bold and reckless, and he must not be spared lightly."

The emperor looked at His Highness the Prince very strangely, as if he was looking at something weird.

This is my son?

Sun Kui looked dull: Is this person in front of you really His Royal Highness?Is His Royal Highness a ghost?

His Royal Highness did not notice the emperor's strange expression, and continued to scold Li Pushe.In his mouth, Li Pushe is a treacherous villain who deceives his superiors and conceals his inferiors.

The emperor didn't interrupt His Royal Highness, and listened quietly to his scolding.

His Highness the Crown Prince cursed for a while before stopping, and then asked the emperor to punish Li Pushe severely.

Seeing that His Royal Highness stopped scolding, the emperor said, "Prince, do you think that Mr. Meng didn't see you because Li Pushe didn't send your greeting card and the article you wrote to Mr. Meng?"

"Yes, Father."

"Do you think Li Pushe is so bold?" His Royal Highness's words just now made the emperor wonder whether his eldest son's brain was eaten by a dog.

"Father, Li Pushe has nothing to dare."

"Why do you think Li Pushe did this? Doesn't he know that it is a capital offense to deceive and humiliate the prince?" Hearing the prince's stupidity, no, it's a joke.The emperor didn't feel angry at all, but found it funny.He really hasn't heard such a funny joke for a long time.

"Father, Li Pushe is so bold."

The emperor said blankly: "Have you never thought that Mr. Meng doesn't want to see you?"

"Father, why doesn't Meng Lao want to see his son?" His Royal Highness couldn't accept it, nor did he want to believe that Meng Lao didn't want to see him. "My son is full of reverence for Mr. Meng."

The emperor said what the prince wanted to say but did not dare to say: "You want to say that you are the prince, it is impossible for Mr. Meng not to see you."

His Royal Highness did not speak.Because that's what he thinks.

The emperor picked up a memorial and threw it at the prince's head.His Royal Highness subconsciously avoided, but did not dare to move.

With a bang, the memorial smashed hard on the head of His Highness the Crown Prince.

Although the memorial is not as hard as the inkstone, it still hurts when it hits the head.His Royal Highness was so frightened that he knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Father, please forgive me."

"Why did Mr. Meng go out to give lectures? Don't you have any idea?" The emperor was not angry at first, but seeing the prince's stupidity, the more he looked at it, the more angry he became. "I was forced by you to stay in the mountains and forests, so I had to go out to give lectures."

His Royal Highness lowered his head, not daring to say a word.

"Do you really think that I don't know what you and the second child did to Meng Lao?" The emperor pointed at His Royal Highness and scolded, "You and the second child really think that I don't know anything about the thoughts in your heart?"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lay on the ground and said, "I dare not."

"Why don't you dare." The emperor's tone was full of cold sarcasm, "You and the second child thought that if you got Mr. Meng's favor, you would be able to sit firmly on your crown prince, and the second child would become the prince."

The thoughts in his heart were spoken out sharply, His Royal Highness's face flushed red, and his heart was full of embarrassment, uneasiness and fear.

"My son doesn't dare."

"As a prince, you don't want to benefit the people, but you think about heretical things all day long." The emperor stared at His Highness the prince coldly, "Are you worthy of being the prince of a country like this?"

The emperor was so angry that he almost cursed.

"Father, son..."

"Shut up!" the emperor scolded His Royal Highness, "Old Meng came out to give lectures because he was annoyed by you and the second son. Why did he come to the capital to give lectures at the first stop? It was to get rid of you. People don't want to see you or read your articles, but you think it's Li Pushe's fault. You really opened my eyes."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince felt very embarrassed when the emperor said what he was most unwilling to accept.

"You think you're a prince, don't you? You think everyone should please you, but Mr. Meng doesn't please you. You dare not blame Mr. Meng, but Li Pushe. You are really promising." The emperor couldn't believe that he gave birth to such a stupid son. "It's not that you dare not blame Mr. Meng, but you dare not blame it blatantly, because Mr. Meng is still useful to you, and you still expect Mr. Meng, a great Confucian, to help you sit on the throne."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Father, I dare not, and I never have such thoughts."

"No, do you think I will believe it?" The emperor said sarcastically, "I was afraid that you would disturb Mr. Meng, so I specially issued an imperial decree so that you would not be able to harass him. You are sending articles and invitations at the same time."

The emperor went on to reprimand: "For the sake of what Meng Lao said, you still shamelessly think that Meng Lao always wanted to see you, but Li Pu shot him as a hindrance. You really surprise me every time."

"Father, my son realizes his mistake."

"Meng Lao doesn't want to see you, so you should stay away from his old man. If you let me know that you send greeting cards and articles again, I will never let you go lightly." The emperor scolded angrily, "Get out!"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hurriedly stood up and bowed to the emperor, then hurriedly exited the imperial study.

Sun Doudou saw His Highness the Crown Prince staggering out and nearly fell down. When he was about to step forward to support him, he ran away crookedly.

What's wrong with His Royal Highness, he looks like he's being chased by a ghost?
In the imperial study, Sun Kui hurriedly brought a cup of tea to the emperor: "Your Majesty, drink some tea to calm down."

The emperor grabbed the teacup and drank it with his head raised.After drinking, he slammed the teacup on the royal table.

"Your majesty, calm down, don't get angry and damage the dragon's body."

"Is he really my son?" The emperor said angrily, "How could I give birth to a son who is as stupid as a pig?"

Sun Kui persuaded: "Your Majesty, it is possible that His Highness the Crown Prince...hasn't figured it out for a while." In fact, he wanted to say that His Highness the Crown Prince was delusional.

"I have always thought that he is not stupid and hopeless, but just too dependent on Duke Zhen, but after hearing his absurd words just now, I suddenly realized that he is really stupid, and I can't blame Duke Zhen for teaching him badly."

Sun Kui didn't respond well to this.

"You said that the former queen gave birth to a daughter, and then brought a son from outside to pretend to be my son?" The emperor had to be so suspicious.

Old irons, sorry, something happened today and I came back late, it was too late to update the codeword, and I will update it tomorrow.

Emperor: I am so smart, how could I give birth to a son who is as stupid as a pig? !
Empress Xian: It's all the concubine's fault.
