Dressed as the best aunt in farming text

Chapter 221
Capital city, inside the palace.

In the court hall, the civil servants kept arguing non-stop, just to argue which prince should be crowned prince.

Among them, the first prince born to Concubine Xian had the most supporters, followed by the second prince born to the late Concubine Ning who had just been found, followed by the fifth prince born to Concubine Gui.

An old man with a white beard said majesticly: "Whether it is talent or character, the position of prince, the eldest prince will do his part."

Another middle-aged man immediately retorted: "What Prime Minister Zuo said, the second prince is even better."

Prime Minister Zuo didn't give in at all, he blew his beard and stared angrily, and retorted sharply with a livid face: "Hmph, a person of unknown origin dares to call himself the second prince, even if he is, the Ning clan committed the crime of punishing the nine clans back then." , he is the son of a sinful concubine, how can he be qualified?"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man immediately turned his face coldly and said sharply: "Bold and leftist, what crime should be for offending the second prince and Concubine Ning? How has Your Majesty ever deposed Concubine Ning? Even if the Ning family made a big mistake, this is not the same as What's the matter with Concubine Ning, especially with the Second Prince."

Zuo Xiang was so angry that he spat out obscenities, pointed at that person, and scolded angrily with a black face: "You, you fart."

I thought that the crown prince was already within reach. After all, he didn't take the fifth prince seriously at all, so he wasn't worried, but now that a second prince has appeared, can he be angry? .

That is the son of Concubine Ning, His Majesty's former favorite concubine. If the ministers like them don't play the role of His Majesty's crown prince, maybe the position of crown prince will fall to him.

It's only strange that they failed to completely eradicate the grass and roots, and let him come back.

This child is really lucky, the fire is so big, but he managed to escape from death, it is really hateful.

But the middle-aged man stopped wrangling with him, and respectfully addressed the person above: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister of the Left has offended the Second Prince and the late Concubine Ning in such a way, please forgive me."

His Majesty is now in his forties, but his handsome face is well maintained, and he looks like he is only in his thirties.

Hearing the arguments of the courtiers below, he just felt a terrible headache, rubbed his temples, and really didn't want to talk to this group of people.

Speaking of Concubine Ning, his memory suddenly returned to more than 20 years ago, and he remembered the bright and lively girl who could only live in memory forever.

When we first met, he was still just a prince. Concubine Ning could be his wife regardless of background or appearance, but because of various reasons, she was still willing to be a concubine. Therefore, he was always ashamed of Concubine Ning. Such a lively and cheerful girl would commit suicide in the end.

Zuo Lian hurriedly took a step forward to admit his mistake: "Your Majesty, forgive me, the old minister was just speaking quickly and did not intend to offend you two."

His Majesty raised his eyes lazily, and those eyes with staring eyes fell on the person who confessed his mistake, and said the punishment in a cold voice without mercy, "President Zuo speaks disrespectfully, and I will give you ten boards."

When the ministers in the court heard the punishment, some caused disasters and some sympathized with them.

And the leftist party naturally wanted to intercede for him, no, a middle-aged man hurriedly stepped forward and pleaded sincerely for him: "Your Majesty, the leftist is getting old, how can he bear the burden of living in the tenth place?" Board, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

The rest who came out said in unison: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Looking at the ministers below, His Majesty's expression became more and more unhappy, and he said coldly, "Fifteen boards."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions were different, and those who wanted to continue pleading did not dare to open their mouths, fearing that they would be punished even more.

As for the officials who were at odds with the leftist minister, all of them were gloating at this time.

The right minister stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

After speaking, he glanced at Prime Minister Zuo beside him, the gloating in that gaze couldn't be hidden at all, and there was even more sarcasm.

This made Zuo Xiang very angry, his face was as black as charcoal, and his face was gloomy.

The other ministers also quickly stated their positions, saying in unison: "Your Majesty is wise."

But His Majesty did not speak. The other ministers were dripping with sweat on their foreheads. No one dared to say anything at this juncture. Everyone knew that His Majesty was waiting for the leftist minister.

The court hall, which was still noisy, was completely silent at this moment. The more it was like this, the more frightened everyone became.

Prime Minister Zuo smiled sarcastically, feeling extremely desolate in his heart, knelt down stiffly to thank him, "Thank you, Your Majesty for your kindness."

This sentence resounded throughout the hall, but everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

His Majesty waved his hands lazily.

The grandfather Zuo beside him immediately understood the meaning, and quickly shouted: "Come on, pull Master Lu down."

Soon, two guards came in and dragged him down.

The left prime minister stared at the ministers of the right prime minister's party, the fifth prince's party, and the second prince's party, with resentment in his eyes.

Some timid ministers were frightened by this terrifying look.

Everyone thought that they could go down to court, but His Majesty didn't mean it at all.

At the beginning, some of the courtiers didn't understand what His Majesty meant. It wasn't until the screams outside the palace that everyone realized that His Majesty was deliberately keeping them here to listen to Zuo Xiang's screams. A warning, this is the fate of offending Concubine Ning and the Second Prince, not to mention the Left Prime Minister, then those with smaller official positions may be punished more severely.

"Ah...ah..."

Just after two screams, Eunuch Zuo shouted after receiving the signal: "Back to court!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." The ministers said respectfully with different thoughts.

But now, they would rather leave later. At this time, Prime Minister Zuo must have not finished playing the fifteen boards. If they go out at this time, they will see Prime Minister Zuo's miserable state. According to Prime Minister Zuo's temperament of revenge , How dare they, this is obviously offending the left minister.

The other parties didn't think so much, they still wanted to go out to watch the fun, but they went out as soon as they retreated, even with a smile on their faces.

But those leftist party members and courtiers with no background walked at a heavy pace at the moment. Those who didn't know thought that there were wolves, tigers and leopards waiting for them outside, and they all had bitter faces.

The right minister came out leisurely, with a smile on his face and asked kindly: "How many boards are there?"

The guard who was watching the execution was sweating on his forehead, and thought, the right and the left are really at odds.

Quickly and respectfully replied: "Master, there are still ten boards."

He glanced at the tortured person lying on it, his face was pale, and he said: "Look at Prime Minister Zuo, I'm afraid he won't be able to support these ten boards."

This is not a big deal, but everyone has heard it.

Especially Prime Minister Zuo raised his head and stared at him sullenly. If eyes could kill people, Prime Minister Right would have died ten thousand times.

The right minister smiled disdainfully, and then kindly said to the executive: "I see that the left minister can still hold on, you can continue."
