Red Mansion Royal Cat

Chapter 253
Liu Hong, the 16-year-old fourth son of the emperor, still can't show his emotions and anger, and his slightly childish face is obviously sullen and dissatisfied.

Be it Qi Bohan or the other civil and military ministers, it seemed like they had really gotten to know the heir to the dynasty for the first time.

The Supreme Emperor is known for his tolerance and benevolence, but when he becomes ruthless, it will definitely make people silent. Even so, hundreds of officials dare to confront the Supreme Emperor in the Fengtian Palace.

The current emperor's reputation of being mean and ungrateful has long spread throughout the Great Xia, but it is common for him to be beaten away at court meetings.

However, the fourth son of the emperor, who is only sixteen years old, after today's Chang Chao entered the palace, the rhythm of the entire court meeting was firmly controlled in his hands. He was so depressed that he bowed his head, not daring to look at him.

Is it the fear of imperial power?Is it the awe of the future crown prince?

No, in fact, he was stunned by Liu Hong's strong attack step by step.

Liu Hong hid his slightly trembling hands in his wide sleeves, not because of fear but because of excitement.

He was tortured by a bunch of useless memorials last night, and his whole body was almost depressed. In a fit of anger, he wanted to rectify the unhealthy tendencies in the court. It took him an hour to come up with this idea, even asking the emperor's grandfather and father for their opinions. There is no time.

Victory!

When he made all the ministers speechless, and suppressed the cabinet scholars so much that they dared not look up and look at him, Liu Hong suddenly had a sense of self-confidence that the king was invincible.

Qi Bohan suddenly fell to the ground and kowtowed: "Your Highness, old minister... Please beg for the bones!"

blah blah blah!

There was no sound in the hall for a moment, only the floating dust in Xia Shouzhong's hand made a crisp sound when it fell to the ground.

The eerie silence in the hall didn't last long, and Liu Hong didn't feel the panic as imagined by the officials. Instead, he tossed his sleeves and scolded angrily: "In his position, the cabinet is the center of the court. First, it can't share your worries. Second, it can't Straighten out the government, but always threaten Gu with begging for bones. Mr. Qi Ge, please explain to Gu that you beg for bones, but do you have resentment in your heart? Resentment that Gu didn't save you face in front of everyone today? "

Qi Bohan's hands on the ground couldn't help trembling, he bowed his head and said: "I dare not!"

"It's this sentence again..."

Liu Hong leaned over and pulled Qi Bohan up, stared into his eyes, and said solemnly: "Old Qi Ge, I am right about things and not against people. Even if the great minister is here today, I will scold the cabinet well. It's the same sentence In other words, if the cabinet can't do the work of the emperor and the people, then there is no need for it to exist!"

"As for Elder Qi Ge's resignation, Gu will put his words here today. If Elder Qi Ge dares to write a letter to resign, Gu will have people print a booklet of today's events in Fengtian Temple and spread them in every corner of Daxia. And also People will make this matter into a drama and spread it all over the country! As the crown prince alone, without even saying a serious word, you threaten the king by begging for bones. Is this the sense of responsibility you should have as a scholar? It's extremely absurd !"

Qi Bohan could feel the strength from Liu Hong's arms. He wanted to respond, but his lips trembled a few times but he didn't say anything.

He didn't dare to say anything more about begging for bones, for fear that Liu Hongzhen would do the hard work of publishing it into a book or making it into an opera.

When the officials heard what Liu Hong seemed to say to Qi Bohan, they all closed their mouths and bowed their heads in silence.

This is really ruthless, and I don't know where the fourth prince learned the coquettish operation, and it hit Qi Bohan or those weak spots that are always begging for bones.

Compared with what kind of court staff hits the board, the ruthless work of "making a name for the world" is simply murder.

After Liu Hong finished his execution, he also thoughtfully helped Qi Bohan smooth the folds of his official robe, and then he returned to his seat leisurely, and said in a dignified manner: "Wen An Bang Wu Dingguo, the king of the Shangfu, the king of the Anli, this is the duty of the ministers." The style of laziness and negligence in the government must be changed. The cabinet, the five military governors' offices, the Ministry of officials, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate go back and discuss it carefully, and formulate relevant assessment methods as soon as possible, and report to the solitary department."

"I don't want to have any more reports about the flowering period to my father, do you hear me clearly?"

This time, all the ministers consciously bowed and bowed together, no one even dared to say no: "The ministers will strictly follow His Highness's order, and dare not slack off in the slightest!"

The news about Fengtian Temple soon spread to the garden, and Liu Heng felt a burning pain on his face. It is a good thing for his son to be promising, but his son did better than his father, so he was a little ashamed and flustered.

Holding the fishing rod in his hand, the old man looked at the emperor's son with his lips tightly pursed with contempt: "You see, Hong'er has already noticed something is wrong, but you are still stupid enough to bury yourself in the pile of memorials every day."

"son……"

Liu Heng suddenly realized that he had nothing to quibble about, because what happened in the Fengtian Temple had smashed his persistence in the past few years into pieces.

Therefore, his persistence seemed to really exhaust him to death.

"Since you are sick, you should be sick for a few more days. Let Hong'er take care of the court affairs for the time being. I think he has done a good job. Those people in the court should take care of themselves."

Liu Heng was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and he was a little worried: "If what Honger said is true, wouldn't the power of the cabinet be greater? Father, didn't those scholars always want to let the emperor rule? Wouldn't it make them I got my wish?"

The old man rolled his eyes: "The cabinet is not a single person. Since I set up the cabinet, I have adopted the rules of group planning. The chief minister of the cabinet is not the real prime minister, and he can't control the power and make the emperor stand aside. You just need to Holding the military power and financial power, even Wei Qinghe, who is almost a regency chief minister, can only be a good minister who assists you, not a powerful minister who empties the emperor."

……

Ningrong Street was loose inside and tight outside, the Supreme Emperor was kidnapped by Jia Cong and taken out of the palace, many people in the court knew about it.

However, only the people in the palace and Jia's family knew that the emperor lived in the garden.

The officials who were beaten by Liu Hong thought that the emperor was really tired and sick, and he was resting in the harem. How could he know that the emperor was happily eating skewers and drinking fine wine in Rongguo Mansion. It is said that many officials felt guilty and lived directly in the I'm on duty, working overtime to handle government affairs...

Three days later, in mid-October, there was snowflakes in the capital, and the Rongguo Mansion had already lit a stove. Daiyu was sitting by the stove with the little white cat in her arms, studying Jia Cong's homework seriously.

I finished memorizing "The Analects of Confucius", and I also finished memorizing "University"...

"Sister Lin, can I go out to play after memorizing the book?"

It's snowing today, big cats pulling sleds is really fun!

Jia Cong found that something was wrong with Daiyu in the past two days, and for some reason she was suddenly exaggerated in being strict with herself.

After breakfast in the morning, I started to recite the scriptures. After lunch, I started to practice calligraphy, and I didn't stop until the evening.

Jia Cong asked several times, but Daiyu prevaricated by saying that her career was difficult and she needed to study hard.

Something is wrong!
Daiyu looked at the thick layer of snow outside, pursed her lips and said lightly: "Then I will give you half a day off today, you can go and play."

After finishing speaking, she turned her eyes to the lazy little white cat in her arms, quietly stroking the fluffy cat's head.

The tone was indifferent, but it made Jia Cong aware of his reluctance.

Is it because you are angry at yourself for not studying hard?It shouldn't be.

Jia Cong thought for a while, got up and walked towards the door.When he opened the door and walked out, Daiyu secretly raised her head to glance at the door, then quickly lowered her head.

Squeak!

Jia Cong slowly closed the door again, Daiyu sighed softly, then looked at the snowflakes dancing outside the window, and muttered to herself: "Maybe I think too much, Brother Cong won't become like that people."

Crunch, crunch, crunch...

"Snow Goose, come here!"

Jia Cong walked out of Daiyu's small courtyard, stepped on the thick snow to the front of Rongxi Hall, and happened to meet a snow goose holding a new dress.

"Third Master, do you have something to do with your servant?"

Xueyan bowed her knees and saluted, and said with joy on her face: "The sage gave the satin, and my wife asked the tailor in the mansion to make winter clothes. It's so beautiful. This servant is about to take it back and show it to the girl."

Jia Cong only glanced at the exquisite new clothes in her hands, and waved his hands: "It's not important, what's important is your girl..."

"What's wrong with the girl?"

Xueyan asked in surprise, Jia Cong looked around and beckoned for Xueyan to follow.

The two came to a sheltered place, and Jia Cong said worriedly: "Sister Lin seems to have something on her mind recently, and her mood is very low. I asked her several times and she didn't say anything. You follow Sister Lin every day. Has something happened to her recently?"

Xueyan was even more puzzled, after thinking about it carefully, she finally shook her head and denied it.

The girl is the grandson of the old lady, the daughter of the Lin family has a noble status, and she is the fiancee of the third master, who dares to make the girl unhappy?
"If you think about it carefully, Sister Lin definitely has something on her mind. She has been holding me to study for the past few days, and she is often in a daze. She is not at all like Sister Lin."

Xueyan couldn't help laughing immediately: "Third Master, you swore an oath in front of the master at the beginning that you wanted to test Tan Hualang to marry a girl, but the girl kept you studying because she hoped that you would marry Tanhua to marry her Xu Shi saw that the third master was playful, and was worried that you forgot to study..."

Uh……

Jia Cong shook his head, regardless of whether he could pass the Tanhualang exam or not, his marriage to Sister Lin was a certainty.

The empress dowager's decree bestowed a marriage, except for the emperor, who can ruin this marriage... huh?

Jia Cong suddenly had an ominous premonition, and quickly turned around and walked into the garden, leaving Xueyan standing there in a daze.

The two saints came and stayed, and the order in the garden became more dignified.

Jia Cong didn't bother to pay attention to those rules, and quickly walked straight into the hall beside the water pavilion.

The furnace in the hall was burning vigorously, and the sage master was lying leisurely on the soft bed beside the furnace with a book of travel notes, covered with a thick blanket.

"Aren't you studying hard these two days? Why come here to hang out when you have time?"

Jia Cong said straightforwardly: "Sage, you summoned Sister Lin two days ago, did you say anything about the marriage between the official and her?"

"Oh? I told you about this."

The old man didn't deny it either, and replied leisurely: "I think about what I said that day..."

Time went back to three days ago, when the sage arrived, Ningrong Jia's two houses greeted him.

On a whim, the old man not only summoned Jia Mu and the others, but also specially named Daiyu to have a hand-to-hand conversation with him.

"The Lin family has a long history of education, but it is also difficult for children to succeed. You have inherited the intelligence of your father Lin Hai..."

There were only three people in the room, the Supreme Emperor Liu Ji, the personal servant Dai Quan, and Lin's daughter Daiyu.

The old man narrowly won the chess game, and suddenly smiled and said: "To be honest, it's a pity that you are worthy of Jia Cong, your talent, why don't you be my royal daughter-in-law."

Daiyu got up from her chair and solemnly bowed her knees: "It's the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, not to mention the marriage between the minister's daughter and Brother Cong is a decree from the empress dowager to announce to the world, how can I allow others? A daughter is not allowed." Both of you, please don't make fun of the honor of the courtier's daughter!"

"Bold..."

Dai Quan was about to scold him, but the old man raised his hand to stop him.

I saw that the old man was not angry, but said with a smile: "Yes, there are not many people who dare to talk to me like this with Lin Hai's character. Your father Lin Hai is one, and so is your little girl."

Daiyu shook her head, and her crisp voice echoed in the room: "This is not a character, it's just the minister's daughter's determination to protect the queen mother's will and the reputation of the Lin family."

"Let me tell you the truth. I think that Jia Cong's future should be Wei Qinghuo's illness. I and the emperor want to leave it to the future emperor of Daxia. If Wei Huo's talent cannot be married to the royal family, I can't rest assured. The emperor can't rest assured, and the princes of the future will not rest assured to use it, do you understand?"

The old man's words were like a heavy blow, which made Daiyu's face paler and precarious.

However, she still bit her lips and persisted in the face of the supreme threat.

I saw Daiyu bowing down again, her voice trembling slightly, but she still replied resolutely: "Loyalty does not depend on the closeness of the relationship. Since the beginning of Yanhuang, among those who have rebelled for thousands of years, they are as close as brothers and still hold swords against each other." .Even the grandparents of the first Rongguo and the courtiers were not married to the royal family, but they were loyal to the saint all their lives."

Speaking of this, Daiyu raised her head boldly, looked directly into the eyes of the Supreme Emperor, and said firmly: "Besides, Brother Cong was picked up by His Majesty, and the saint is even more blessed. He is as close as the fourth prince." Brother, I really can't figure out why the sage thinks that being married to the royal family will deepen his loyalty to Great Xia!"

The old man looked at the little girl in front of him, she was very knowledgeable, courageous enough, and had a tough personality, which complemented the little fat man very well.

But well...

"Then let me put it another way. Jia Cong is a good boy. I have many granddaughters. I don't want to miss such a good boy..."

The corner of Dai Quan's mouth twitched secretly, and he turned to look elsewhere.

I just heard the old man suddenly say something extremely absurd: "I feel sorry for my granddaughter. The Rongguo Mansion is the top military honor of the country. My granddaughter is well-matched when she marries into the Rongguo Mansion. Jia Cong came to be my grandson-in-law, and I also Don't worry. You see that Chun'er and Jia Cong get along very well, I think it would be nice to recruit him as the captain's son-in-law..."
