Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 523
Cheng Rong stared at the teacup in his hand. It had been a long time. Baoshang and Song Yan, who were sitting opposite him, were anxious and fidgeting until Baoshang handed over his hands and asked, "Master Cheng, what should we do now so that we can get rid of the bottom line?"

Cheng Rong's eyes flickered and said: "This time, we must take the initiative to attack and defeat the ambitions of Concubine Jiang's party and the conservative faction!"

In the Hall of Shuilong Shuren, with the bang of the court bell, more than a hundred courtiers, large and small, dressed in court uniforms and obsessed with court wats, entered the hall one after another and stood in line.

Emperor Minggong of the Great Zhou Dynasty was downcast today. After asking the officials' opinions lightly, he announced to everyone: "The day before yesterday, King Lu Chuxiu defeated Dongyi and won Dongyi's most precious water Longgui. I am very relieved. , no one can replace King Lu to defend, so I decided not to invite King Lu to Beijing for the time being."

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Lu Wang has just made meritorious service for the country and has already arrived in Gyeonggi. At this time, letting Lu Wang return to the border for no reason will inevitably attract people's gossip?" Hua Guogong Fang Jin raised his wat first and raised a question.

"Duke Hua, King Lu and His Majesty are father and son, monarchs and ministers. Do you need a foreign minister to point fingers at His Majesty's affairs?" Baoshang came out to accuse Fang Jindao.

"Bao Shang, don't think that with the support of your queen and sister in the harem, you can be arrogant and conceited! King Lu is the eldest son of the king, and he is also a well-known virtuous king. If it weren't for your brothers and sisters singing together inside and outside the palace. How could the King of Lu lose his crown prince position and be demoted to the State of Lu? Now it is spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital, saying that the queen framed the concubines and princes in the harem and wanted to usurp the throne. Could it be that the uncle of the country didn't know that he was still here? Is the fox pretending to be the tiger?" Fang Jin sneered with anger. ,

"Fang Jin, are you still ashamed to say that in order to fight for the favor of Concubine Huan, you spread rumors in the palace all day outside, deliberately slandered and framed the queen, and formed gangs to attack upright ministers. May I ask, are you still qualified to attack? Empress!" When Bao Shang heard Fang Jin scolding Bao Si, he immediately became angry.

"Shut up! In this court, you two royal relatives are scolding each other on the spot, it's really lawless, I've made up my mind, don't say more, retreat!" Ming Gong was so angry that his face turned livid, and he walked away.

Out of the Shuilong Shuren Hall, the dejected Baoshang saw Cheng Rong's voice from afar, and hurriedly followed up and asked, "Master Cheng, why did you not say a word when Duke Hua was so arrogant this morning?" ?”

Cheng Rong glanced at Baoshang, stroked his beard and said, "Fang Jin wants to stand up and make trouble, so let's let him make trouble. Anyway, King Lu is no longer able to enter Beijing. We must seize this good opportunity to solve Concubine Jiang's influence as soon as possible. To be the crown prince!"

For more than a few days, Ming Gong neither went to the Peony Pavilion of Concubine Huan, nor set foot in Qiu Yunxuan of Concubine Jiang, nor the Jianjia Palace of Bao Si, but hid in the study alone, reviewing the memorials by candle.

Rou'er, the court lady next to Minggong, saw that the study room was piled up with memorials in a mess, she bowed to Minggong helplessly and said, "Your Majesty, it's too messy here, please tell me clearly, how should slaves and maidservants be tidied up?"

"Girl, you are really useless, I think so, you go to Jiangxue Pavilion immediately, and invite Mrs. Xin here." Ming Gong nodded Rou'er's forehead and said with a frown.

In a short while, Xinyue, the noble lady, had already come to Minggong in front of him, paying his respects, Minggong didn't look at Xinyue directly, and waved his hand, ordering her to organize the memorial for him.

Thanks to Xinyue's ingenuity, within a quarter of an hour, the windows in the study were already clear. "Okay." Mingong looked at the piles of memorials on the case with satisfaction, couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing, and suddenly, he let out a long sigh.
