Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 569
Minggong watched the three princes knelt down and kowtowed in apology, the anger in his chest had just subsided, and he said coldly: "Since you all want me to have an explanation, then I will temporarily remove the cabinet minister Lu Kai from his post. Back off."

A soul-stirring court battle came to an end. Ming Gong, who couldn't get over his anger, wandered back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back, and at the same time called in the father and son who had made great contributions to the Shuilong Shuren Hall.

"Veteran Zheng Bo and Gouzi Qutu, kowtow to see the king, long live!" Zheng Bo and Qutu saluted in front of Ming Gong one by one.

With a satisfied face, Minggong stared at the extraordinary Qutu, and said with a pleasant face: "To be honest, it's been a long time to see people's hearts. Uncle Zheng, it is really rare for you father and son to serve the country faithfully. I intend to let Qutu stay in the capital. , restore the position of general and continue to serve the country, what do you think?"

Qu Tu hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, there are so many talented people in the court now, if you don't overreach yourself and become an official in the court, you may be criticized by others, so you might as well stay in Zheng Guo's fief and guard the border for the king. Your Majesty, think twice."

"Oh, Qu Tu, you really don't want to stay in the capital to be an official anymore? To be honest, I intend to let you succeed Lu Kai as a cabinet minister and sit on an equal footing with Cheng Rong. Why don't you think about it?" Ming Gong looked at Qu Tu. Suddenly.

Jue Tu frowned, and refused bluntly: "I thank the king for his holy will, but I know how much I have, so I am panicked."

"Oh, if that's the case, let's talk about it later." Mingong stopped his smile and nodded.

After leaving the Chaoyang Palace, Uncle Zheng looked at his son and couldn't help asking: "Tu'er, the king ordered you to return to the capital to serve as an official. This is a once-in-a-lifetime event. Why did you refuse?"

Jue Tu cupped his hands to his father and said, "Father, my son understands that the king is resolute and suspicious, today he trusts and shows his son more than anyone else, and tomorrow his son will be the king's first worrying hero. Confused, for the safety of Zheng Guo, my son has no choice but to decline."

"Well, Tu'er, it's rare that you have grown up in these years, and just now, as a father, I was worried that your kindness would not be rebuffed." Uncle Zheng couldn't help but overjoyed.

In the study room of the Shuilong Shuren Palace in Chaoyang Palace, Ming Gong, who saw off Dutu and his son, did not rest, and recruited the cabinet minister Cheng Rong into the study room to inquire about countermeasures. The princes are making trouble in the palace, how does the king feel?"

Minggong said anxiously: "I really didn't expect that the princes of various places are so arrogant. If this continues, my plan to disarm the princes and set up counties and counties will be difficult to implement. Especially today, the four major princes jointly attack the government. Facing the empress of the harem, I wonder if someone in the harem intends to conspire with these princes and cooperate with others!"

"Your Majesty, I suspect that the real purpose of the four princes joining forces to impeach today is not to pursue the matter of the beacon tower, but to have other plans. I am worried that they are here to compete for the crown prince!" Cheng Rong guessed.

Ming Gong quickly nodded and said: "Cheng Aiqing, I didn't expect you to see that these guys seem to have other intentions, and they want to pave the way for King Lu to be the crown prince, so they attacked the queen first, but unexpectedly, due to the incident deteriorating without the opportunity to come clean!"

"Your Majesty, the person who colluded with the princes to make trouble must be in the harem!" Cheng Rong suddenly realized.

"Well, I have already guessed who this person is!" Ming Gong clenched his palms tightly.

Qiu Yunxuan heard the palace maid Hanxiang report that there was a turmoil in the previous dynasty, the four princes jointly participated in the empress failed, and Concubine Jiang didn't eat all day, but was anxious and helpless.
