The king does not go to court early: the queen is too enchanting

Chapter 1186
On the second day, all the turmoil in the court was due to the drought in the west and the chaos on the border.

The old emperor sat alone on the Dragon Throne, feeling devastated.

"My loves, what can I do?" the old emperor asked, his majestic voice sweeping across every corner of the hall.

The crowd was silent.

What can be done to disturb the border, but send someone to act as the emperor's eyes and ears, and the emperor's hands and feet, to settle the things that can be settled by the eyes, hands and feet, and report the things that cannot be settled by the ears, eyes, hands and feet.The key is who will be the eyes and ears. If the eyes and ears are not chosen well, he will not be able to settle things that can be settled immediately. He hesitates and reports back and forth, delaying the timing. For example, in war, if the fighter plane is delayed, tens of thousands of people will die if they are not sure, and several cities laid down by the ancestors will be lost.

"Reporting to the emperor, the old minister thinks that those who go this time have two important things to do. The first is to appease the people. For this matter, someone with a reputation must go. The second is to deter foreign enemies. The prestige is to be done by people who are absolutely loyal to my dynasty, and from this point of view, the most suitable ones are the princes!" An old minister said tremblingly, stroking the silver goat's whiskers.

The old emperor also agreed with his statement. In this court, apart from the prince, I am afraid that this eloquent old minister is the only one who can be useful, but he is too old, if he is sent, his bones will fall apart halfway.

"Father!" Shao Shiping stepped forward to salute.

"Okay, let's talk about it again, why didn't the second prince come to court today?" The old emperor cast a glance at the new prince and ignored him, then raised his head and asked loudly.

"Your majesty, the second prince took sick leave today, saying that he was caught with a cold and couldn't get out of bed, and couldn't come to court early!" The minister replied respectfully.

"Why are you caught in the cold and can't get out of bed?" The old emperor frowned.

"It was said that it was cold, and the wind broke the branches at night, which shocked Madam. The second prince hurried to look, but forgot to put on his clothes, so he was cold!" The old emperor frowned even deeper.

"The second prince is in charge of the famine in the West, and the people trust him. It would be the most appropriate to ask him to go this time. Quickly call an imperial doctor and go home to have a look. Get well soon, and ask him to do something important! "The old emperor no longer hesitated, and ordered directly.

"Father, the sons and daughters can also share the worries of the father!" Shao Shiping bowed forward, thinking of the famine in the west, Shao Shi'an won the hearts of the people with that incident, if he is asked to go again at this time, he will definitely be in the limelight. When the time comes, how will I, the new prince, deal with myself.The more Shao Shiping thought about it, the more he felt that asking Shao Shi'an to go was really scary, and he could no longer sit still and wait for death.Regardless of the old emperor deliberately stopping him just now.

"I can't tell how much I weigh myself!" Although the old emperor's voice was soft, he was already extremely angry.

Shao Shiping blushed immediately.

"Retreat, retreat!" The old emperor was furious, and the ministers watched with wide eyes, and he couldn't say anything more, so he hurriedly retreated.

"You do not live up to expectations, you are wasting so much of your father's thought on you!" The old emperor stood in front of the desk, pointed at Shao Shiping's nose and cursed.

"Father!" Shao Shiping felt aggrieved, but his father hurriedly withdrew from the court and asked someone to come to his study, which showed that his father had taken care of him, and he could bear a moment of grievance.

"Do you think the West is so easy to go? The famine is so easy to deal with? The Dalai Lama is so easy to deal with?" The emperor asked with a frown.

"On the contrary, the red mouth and white teeth agreed quickly. Let me tell you, if you don't do this well, the common people will be full of resentment, and the ministers force me to go to your crown prince. The crown prince has gone, quietly arrested you and threatened me or killed you directly, and your child will cry without tears!" After the old emperor finished a long sentence, his mouth felt dry and he hurriedly drank tea.

Shao Shiping, however, was like a thunderbolt, he just stood there blankly, recalling his father's words.

"Do you think your second brother can startle a broken branch? Can you go out in the middle of the night and get a cold? Can you get a cold so that you can't get out of bed?" The old emperor continued to ask.

Shao Shiping only felt the cold rushing down his back.Indeed, in my memory, my second brother Shao Shi'an has been absent for a few times since he started to attend the court.

"Has the imperial physician arrived, and how is the second prince's condition?" the old emperor asked.

"Go back to the emperor, the imperial physician will go, and there is no time to come back!" The palace man replied.

"Go down!" the old emperor ordered.

"Father, what if the second brother is really seriously ill!" Shao Shiping asked hastily, after hearing the old emperor's words, he was really afraid that Shao Shi'an would not give up, what should he do.

"He has to go!" The old emperor said firmly, he estimated that Shao Shi'an was weighing the interests and benefits, and after careful consideration, he decided to fake his illness.Furthermore, his wife was pregnant for several months and was about to give birth. He definitely didn't want to go out, that's why he got sick. As for what happened, the old emperor didn't think about it.

But Shao Shiping couldn't go no matter what, and if the crown prince had an accident, it would be difficult for him to explain to the deceased.
