Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 431 Hostage (1)
"Report to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Song Wang Huien and Lu Wang Chuxiu are waiting to be summoned outside the hall, please give me your word." In the magnificent Shuilong Shuren Hall, the former imperial eunuch Xiao Ruzi reported that Da Zhou who was reviewing the memorial Emperor Ming Gong woke up from his excitement.

"Oh? Have the widow's two princes arrived?" Mingong's mouth was filled with a proud smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the two Highnesses just came from the fief without stopping." Xiao Ruzi smiled obsequiously,
"Okay, let them come in and kowtow." Ming Gong said happily.After a while, two radiant princes with golden crowns on their heads and jade belts around their waists stepped into the hall vigorously and saluted Ming Gong.

Looking at the two princes with thick heads and thick brains, Ming Gong couldn't help being elated, especially Song Wang Hui'en, who was already 13 years old and was about to grow up, so he especially pleased Ming Gong.

"I want to report to my father, is the queen mother okay? I want to pay my respects to the queen mother immediately." Song Wang Hui'en saw Ming Gong looking at him hard, and hurriedly kowtowed and begged.

"Hui En, does your master, Uncle Sun, have any entourage when he comes to Beijing this time?" Ming Gong asked carefully.

"Returning to my father, Master Sun is in good health. In the Song Dynasty, Master Sun helped to deal with major affairs. Master Sun taught his sons and ministers that they must be lenient, benevolent and love the people. Only by self-cultivation can they govern the family and the world. The sons and ministers these years It's all thanks to the teacher's teaching." Huien smiled heartily, and talked endlessly.

"Okay! Huien, you are truly worthy of the high hopes placed by your mother. You have indeed grown vigorously these years. Go to Jianjia Palace and make your mother happy." Minggong couldn't help but stroking his beard and laughing.

"Thank you, Father!" Hui En's brows were brimming with joy, but he did not expect that at the same moment, a pair of jealous eyes were staring at him intently.

"His Royal Highness Lu, what's the matter? What's the matter?" Just after leaving the Shuilong Shuren Hall, there were a few hurried footsteps. When Chu Xiu looked back, it turned out to be Lu Kai, the cabinet minister, and hurriedly bowed his hands and said: "Lord Lu , stay safe."

"Looking at His Highness King Lu's expression, could it be that His Highness has encountered something unpleasant?" Lu Kai looked at Chu Xiu and guessed.

"My lord has good eyesight. I treat you as one of my own, so I tell you what's on my mind. Lord Lu, do you think that according to the current situation, will my father appoint Hui En as the crown prince?" Chuxiu said with a blank smile.

"It turns out that His Highness is worried about this. I can assure you that there are His Highness's mother and concubine and humble ministers in the palace, and the king will definitely not abandon the elders and make the younger ones." Lu Kai assured.

"Why are you so sure?" Chuxiu asked strangely. "Because Concubine Jiang and Concubine Jiang had just assisted Empress Baosi to eradicate Concubine Wu Susu's party a month ago. Even if the king doesn't believe in Concubine Jiang, he would not overdo it. Rumors are becoming more and more serious everywhere. It is said that Empress Baosi is a subjugated evildoer, but now that Concubine Su commits suicide, the rumors spread become more and more true. Some people really think that Baosi controls the government and is lawless. It's just that there is a lot of discussion, as long as there are more and more people who oppose it, Bao Si will not dare to act rashly, and when the time comes, Wei Chen and Concubine Jiang will take the opportunity to clean up the mess, is it possible that the crown prince is not His Highness's?" Lu Kai was strange smiled.

"So that's it, Mr. Lu, those false rumors and slander about the empress are actually spread by you and the concubine mother. If you are so nonsense, don't you put my country in danger?" He immediately frowned.

"Your Highness, as the saying goes, if you are not poisonous, you will not be a husband, and you will not be cruel. How can Your Highness successfully succeed to the throne? Achieve a great cause for thousands of years? Please don't mind spreading rumors. In short, in the future, the responsibility for this matter will be borne by this humble minister." Go." Lu Kai said decisively.
