Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 95 tit for tat
"Your Majesty, the villains are still at large, do you know that? The concubine is alive now, and the only thing left to worry about is revenge!" Bao Si's brows were dim, but she was extremely determined.

"No, Si'er, we still have concerns. Are you really determined to ignore our prayers?" Ming Gong excitedly supported Bao Si's shoulders, crying.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the prince is crying again!" At this moment, Axi held a weeping blessing in his arms, and Xi diligently opened the thin curtain and stepped in.

"Pray for blessings!" Bao Si hurriedly took the little prince from A Xi's hand with distress. "Si'er, think more about the widow, think more about our children, we must be happy and live a good life!" Mingong's eyes were full of longing and hope.

On Haojing Street, Bao Shang, the eldest son of Baoguo, was riding a fast horse to relax in frustration. As soon as he returned to the mansion, he heard endless scolding outside the mansion.

"Bao Shang, you are a shameless pervert! You are in vain for the son of the prince!" The bursts of scolding made Bao Shang angry. He glared at Lao Gu, the housekeeper who came out to pick him up, and asked loudly, "Old Gu, what's wrong with you?" What's going on? Who is here to scold people unreasonably?"

"My lord, it's been a day. No matter how you drive these guys away, they just won't leave. It looks like they must be ordered by someone!" Lao Gu said with a sad face.

"It's unreasonable. I, the son of Baoguo, was so humiliated! Gu, immediately notify the Nine Sect Soldiers to come here to arrest people!" Baoshang was almost furious.

"Wait!" Suddenly, a fast horse galloped towards Bao Mansion, stopped in front of Bao Mansion, and a person got off, stepped forward and cupped his hands, Bao Shang looked up, and it turned out to be Prime Minister Lu Kai.

"Isn't this Mr. Lu Kai? You're such a good prime minister! My son's mansion was besieged in broad daylight? What do you think you should do?" Baoshang said angrily.

"Mr. Bao, calm down. Now, the capital is not very peaceful. Especially when General Wang Zhi is in power, some things have become very subtle. You don't know it. During these days, people have been spreading rumors, and the whole capital is in a state of unrest. Ah, where do you think you want me, the prime minister, to work hard?" Wang Zhi said helplessly.

"Hehe, even if you are the prime minister, you can't help it? Oh, yes, there is another prime minister, that old thief Wang Zhi! Lu Kai, you kid is actually afraid of him?" Bao Shang sarcastically said.

"My lord, don't talk nonsense, this Wang Zhi has many eyes and ears." Lu Kai shook his hand in fright.

"Lu Kai, is it because Cheng Rong and Die Tu are not in the capital that you are too scared to speak out? Let me tell you, that old thief Wang Zhi and Concubine Jin in the palace are my father-killing enemies. You are afraid of him. But I am not afraid of him, just wait, sooner or later I will personally send their brothers and sisters to hell!" Baoshang said indignantly.

Looking at the figure of Baoshang entering the mansion, Lu Kai couldn't help but sneer.

The morning court at Chaoyang Palace had just ended. Minggong heard that there was a catastrophe in the Yellow River, and the dog army from the north invaded the border again. .

"Uncle Sun, is there any progress in the national land inspection?" Ming Gong asked seriously.

"Report to Your Majesty, the survey and verification of land across the country went very smoothly. The government found out that many landlords and local tyrants merged farmers and concealed their land. In order to fight against the new policy of the imperial court, these guys often find people to sabotage everywhere, so the situation is not optimistic!" Uncle Sun replied solemnly holding up his wat.

"That said, it's still not easy to collect the tax money this year? What about the customs over there? Boding of Quanrong still has a hundred thousand cavalry. We have no money, so what are we going to fight with?" Mingong said furiously.

"Your Majesty, besides the Yellow River was flooded, there was also Qishan Mountain, and the earthquake was very serious!" Lu Kai sighed and added insult to injury.

"It's unreasonable! It's all because there are no important ministers in the court! Lu Kai, you immediately take the imperial decree of the widow to Zheng Guo, and order the senior doctor Cheng Rong to go to Beijing immediately, and there must be no mistake!" Ming Gong thought over and over again, and immediately drafted the decree Order Lu Kai.

"Your Majesty, why did you only call Cheng Rong alone? That Mr. Jutu?" Uncle Sun suddenly felt something was wrong, and hurriedly reminded him.

"Don't ask, just do what you want!" Ming Gong frowned, and couldn't help touching his own thoughts, and immediately Long Yan said angrily.

Lu Kai and Uncle Sun obediently left the hall, Uncle Sun hurriedly asked Lu Kai in a low voice, "Master Prime Minister, Your Majesty's expression is not right today, what is the matter?"

Lu Kai stroked his beard and said, "My lord Sun, don't you know this? Your Majesty is clearly guarding against Cheng Rong and Jutu La Xiaoshan, which will endanger him from monopolizing the power, so His Majesty separates the two of them on purpose."

"Oh, it seems that His Majesty has a prejudice against Qutu." Uncle Sun suddenly realized.

The sun was setting and the setting sun was like blood. After Minggong finished all the memorials, he took Xinyue for a walk in the corridor of Chaoyang Palace alone, with his hands behind his back, and kept murmuring, "Kutu, when will you Can you let the widow and Si'er go?"

"Are you from this palace?" At this moment, Ming Gong's worries were suddenly interrupted by a childish voice.

Ming Gong looked at the little boy standing in front of him in surprise, dressed in brocade clothes and made up with pink makeup.

"Little prince! It's dangerous outside, so don't run around!" From the other side of the palace wall, a woman's charming voice came, and it drifted into Mingong's ears melodiously.

"Is it Yunniang?" Ming Gong smiled and called out to the distance. "Slave Yunniang, pay respects to the king!" Yunniang was so startled that she rushed like a deer, and hurriedly dragged the little prince Hui En to kneel down to pay respects.

"Is he Hui En? Has he grown so big?" Ming Gong looked at the innocent and romantic Hui En carefully, and couldn't help laughing.

"Father, my little son Huien pays respects to Father, and I wish Father a long live and a long life!" But Hui En was extremely obedient, so she quickly and obediently buckled her head.

Minggong immediately felt extremely happy, and hugged Huien happily. "How is the master of your Chonghua Palace?" Ming Gong took the opportunity to ask.

"My lord, Master Jin is eating fast and reciting Buddha's name in the palace. He is dressed in green clothes. It's very good." Yunniang said softly.

"Well, that's good, it's good to keep yourself safe." Mingong stroked his beard and smiled.

Suddenly, on the other side of the palace wall, there was a lot of noise and arguing. "What's going on? Xinyue, go and have a look!" Ming Gong frowned.

"Your Majesty, our master is not like a lady in the palace, she is a heroine who can protect loyal ministers and speak for the common people." Yun Niang replied Ming Gong with a blushing face.
