Civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty, begging me to ascend the throne

Chapter 26
Eunuch An on the ground was still trembling, and in a blink of an eye the old emperor had a decision in his mind. He glanced sharply at Eunuch An who was prostrate on the ground, and cursed with a smile: "You old slave..."

When Eunuch An heard the emperor's scolding, he felt relieved. He raised his head and licked his face and said, "Your Majesty is so mighty, this servant can't help but submit..."

"Get up..." The old emperor listened to the flattery, not showing it on the face, but his heart eased a lot, and his mood rose slightly.

I am afraid that there is no one in this world who does not like to hear these pleasant words. Eunuch An got up from the ground, patted his sleeves, and was about to serve the old emperor on his right side when he heard the old emperor's new order.

"Go and invite Wang Sulai, the Minister of the Household Department..." The sadness on the old emperor's brows dissipated a little after the incident just now, and his voice became clearer, echoing in Chong'an Hall.

"Your servant obeys!" Eunuch An bowed his waist and went out.

After going out, the spring breeze blew, blowing the sleeves of Eunuch An's palace clothes, and suddenly felt cold, Eunuch An couldn't help but shiver.

"It's really not the right time for this wind," Eunuch An muttered in a low voice.

He waved his sleeves to summon the little eunuch on the porch, and he didn't want to waste time changing clothes, so he hurried out of the palace gate with the people.

On the other side, Wang Suzheng was drinking some wine at home.Muxiu today, without having to deal with the old and new accounts of the Ministry of Accounts, Wang Su is also happy to be at leisure.

On the contrary, some colleagues asked Wang Su to drink, but Wang Su thought about the complicated affairs in the court recently, and was afraid that the eyes of Yushitai were like knives. When he caught the pigtail, he refused straight away.

Since he couldn't go outside to spend time and drink, Wang Su had to drink and drink by himself in the yard of his home.

Suddenly seeing Eunuch An and his party coming to the door, Wang Su thought it was because he was drinking too much and was drunk, so he shook his head violently, only to realize that it was not a phantom in alcohol.

Only then did Wang Su wake up, as if he had been splashed with well water, and quickly got up to greet him at the door.

"Eunuch An, why bother you to drive to Wang's mansion today."

Eunuch An looked at Wang Su who came up to him and said with a smile on his face: "Master Wang is joking, the miscellaneous family came here with the emperor's order. Please also invite Mr. Wang to enter the palace with your slaves..."

"This..." Wang Su just felt strange, since he bumped into the Panlong Pillar of the Chongguang Hall that day, the emperor never met him in private again.

Wang Su knew that his behavior in the court had offended the emperor, so he no longer dared to enter the palace to ask for an audience.

The last time he made an admonition, he made Princess Anhe commit suicide in the palace. A few days ago, the old emperor criticized him in the court hall, saying that Wang Su had sinister intentions, provoked the relationship between the monarch and his ministers, and was not worthy of being a minister.

At that time, Wang Su almost thought that his life would be ruined in the court, but he didn't expect that Qingyi's persecution made the old emperor not deal with him for the time being.

Now, the emperor's punishment for him is coming...

Wang Su anxiously followed Mr. An and his group into the Chong'an Hall.

"Chen, Wang Su, Minister of the Household Department, pays homage to His Majesty!"

"Get up..." the old emperor sat on the high chair, holding the memorial in one hand, and said calmly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wang Su could only feel his heart beating violently. The last time this happened was seven years ago when he was in the Imperial Examination Hall.

The old emperor's eyes were on Wang Su's body, and Wang Su stood there in a daze, not daring to move.

"I heard that Wang Shilang is very wise..." the old emperor said slowly, the voice reached Wang Su's ears like thunder, which made his heart beat faster.

"Your Majesty... I am terrified, please forgive me." Wang Su was so frightened that he was about to kneel down when he was stopped by the emperor.

"I haven't seen Wang Shilang for a few days, why did he become so timid? I never blamed you..."

Wang Su just felt that kneeling was neither right nor standing, and the old emperor called him a chair, so he sat down tremblingly.

"I'm just going to say it straight, I want to hear if you have any suggestions for getting married?"

"Marriage..." Wang Su calmed down, it turned out that he was asked to advise on political affairs.

Wang Su sorted out his thoughts, and his thoughts were similar to those of Wang Ge and Ji Taifu, "I think that Princess Anle is your majesty's youngest daughter, and your majesty should put the country and the country as the most important thing."

The old emperor was obviously very dissatisfied with Wang Su's words, and snorted coldly, "Is Wang Shilang old too? How can I talk to those dying people?"

Wang Su was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that the emperor did not agree with Mr. Wang Ge's suggestion.Thinking back to the reaction of the old emperor in the court, he suddenly realized.

"Isn't Wang Shilang quick-witted? Then give me another idea." The old emperor was very satisfied with Wang Su's fearful reaction, and handed out his bait like fishing.

Wang Su pursed her lips, and her thoughts were running fast: "If the daughter of the clan fails, then... His Majesty's younger sister, Princess Deyi, lost her husband just the year before last..."

This Princess Deyi is the youngest daughter of the first emperor, and also the only prince of Da Xia—the younger sister of King Jin.Although it was promised by the first emperor to the nobles in Beijing in the early years, Princess Deyi's son-in-law passed away due to illness the year before last.

Wang Su was always well-informed, but now he was forced to do nothing, so he remembered this matter.

"Wang Su, oh Wang Su, it's true to say that you are quick-witted...but Qingyi will not agree to marry Deyi back..." The old emperor smiled ambiguously.

"Your Majesty is wise, and my minister is far behind..." Wang Su was not surprised that his idea was rejected, after all, in today's court, Duke Wen of the Manchu Dynasty could not think of a satisfactory solution for His Majesty.

"Think about it again..." the old emperor said softly.

Wang Su's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, what else could he do...

Time passed by every minute and every second, and when it was almost half a stick of incense, Wang Su gave up struggling and knelt down on the ground again.

"Damn me, I really can't think of any other way..." Wang Su's voice trembled, and his tone was full of humility.

"Hmph... Can't figure it out, or do you not want to work for me?" The smile on the old emperor's face disappeared, and he asked sharply.

Wang Su couldn't help shaking, "I really have no other way, my humble minister is stupid, please... please remind me a few times..."

"Didn't Wang Shilang say before that I have more than one daughter?"

In the blink of an eye, Wang Su seemed to think of something, trembling even harder, he clenched his lips and teeth, not daring to open his mouth.

Seeing his reaction, the old emperor snorted coldly: "It seems that Wang Shilang has a way..."

Wang Su raised his head, the man on the dragon chair was his emperor, his monarch, the object of his allegiance after studying hard for decades.The face of the old emperor became more and more unfamiliar to Wang Su. It was so strange that Wang Su could no longer recognize this emperor. He was the high-spirited and well-known king in the Chongguang Palace back then. Instead, he looked like a monster.

Wang Su's gaze seemed to anger the old emperor, the old emperor stood up suddenly, looking at Wang Su as if he had seen an enemy for many years, or a former enemy:
"Why, Wang Shilang forgot that he is a courtier of Daxia? Forgot to be loyal to the monarch?

Oh... I remember, Wang Shilang was born in a humble family, not those arrogant children of aristocratic families...

Then Wang Shilang, do you have a plan... Dedicate it to me? "

At the end, the old emperor laughed louder and louder, like laughing at Wang Su, or laughing at those pedantic dead people.
