Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

Chapter 229 Continue to procrastinate
In the imperial study room, Emperor Jing Feng had a gloomy complexion, and he was authorizing the memorial with a heavy imposing manner.After reading the memorials one by one, the hidden anger between his eyebrows became more and more intense, and finally he couldn't help it, and slammed the memorial in his hand on the table:

"The fight in the court a few days ago was caused by the dispute over the prince's study. It's only been a few days now? This group of people actually let the prince's eldest son study in the cabinet one after another. They are very embarrassed!"

"Especially this Zhou Minqing, who submitted five memorials in three days. Did he forget that he was the one who brought up the matter that day? At that time, I thought that he was old and didn't ask him about his crimes. He didn't know what to do. He actually pushes his nose and face to force me in a different way, do you really think I dare not touch him!"

Ever since the incident of the court brawl happened, it was equivalent to putting the contradiction of the emperor's eldest son's study on the surface. Emperor Jingfeng couldn't avoid it, and his temper was like a powder keg waiting to explode. The palace maids and eunuchs in the house were trembling all day long, for fear of being angered by an accident.

Ning Fuhai had served Emperor Jing Feng for many years, and he had already figured out his temperament. After Emperor Jing Feng finished his scolding, he calmed down a little, and then offered a cup of tea calmly: "Your Majesty, drink some tea to moisten your throat."

Emperor Jingfeng took it, and poured down half a cup of tea in one breath, finally feeling the restlessness in his chest subsided a little, sat back on the chair with a sullen face and continued to review the memorial.

Seeing that Emperor Jingfeng's mood had almost calmed down, Ning Fuhai tentatively said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Liu Gui is here, and she said she wanted to see His Majesty, and she has been waiting outside for half an hour."

Emperor Jingfeng paused at the tip of his pen, then continued to criticize the memorial, without raising his head, he said: "No, let her go back."

Ning Fuhai looked embarrassed: "But... Concubine Liu Gui said, if you don't want to see her, she can't afford to kneel outside."

Emperor Jingfeng snorted heavily from his nose, and said coldly: "If she wants to kneel, let her kneel, and no one will talk to him, I want to see how long she can kneel!"

"Yes." Ning Fuhai answered with lowered eyebrows, and said no more.

After a while, another person came in and reported: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Zhao is here."

Emperor Jingfeng's expression eased, and he said, "Let him in."

Zhao Wang Li Rui is the mother and brother of Emperor Jingfeng, and Emperor Jingfeng is the eldest son. After he was crowned emperor by all officials, his original title was inherited by his younger brother Li Rui.Zhao Wang and his wife passed away early, and Li Rui can be said to be brought up by Emperor Jingfeng. The two brothers have a very good relationship and are one of his closest and trusted people.

Li Rui has only reached the age of the weak crown, and he has no big ambitions in his life. He just wants to live a comfortable life under the wings of the emperor's elder brother. He eats, drinks and has fun on weekdays.

Right now there are no outsiders in the imperial study room, Li Rui was too lazy to pay attention to the etiquette, after being informed by the servant, he went in and bowed to Emperor Jingfeng: "Brother, please greet the emperor."

Li Rui has always been like this, and Emperor Jingfeng is used to it. After a light hum, he still lowered his head and continued to criticize his memorial: "Find a place for yourself to sit."

Li Rui chose a chair at random and sat down, and asked: "Brother Emperor, when I came in, I saw the imperial concubine kneeling outside. Although it is already late autumn, the afternoon sun is still very poisonous. The imperial concubine knelt down like this." I'm afraid I can't bear it. What did she do wrong that made Brother Huang punish him so cruelly?"

Emperor Jingfeng's tone was cold: "When did I punish her? She is the one who wants to kneel."

Li Rui raised his eyebrows unexpectedly. Thinking of the court brawl a few days ago, he understood clearly: "There were more than 30 ministers involved in the court brawl in the past two days. Being dismissed from office, the imperial concubine feels sad and resentful, and it is understandable to want to intercede for my brother."

Emperor Jing Feng was unmoved: "Her father and brother caused such a disaster, she is ashamed to feel sad? I only punished Liu Jingnan and not Xuanyang Hou, which is already very merciful, what else does she want? "

Li Rui lowered his head and touched his nose, not daring to answer.

Speaking of this, Emperor Jingfeng's chest was filled with anger again: "Her father and brother were originally mediocre and ineffective. Because of her, I made an exception and promoted him. I granted Liu Qingli a marquis and gave Liu Jingnan the Imperial Army. Such a real position as deputy commander. Their Liu family became the relatives of the emperor overnight, and now they can be regarded as high-ranking dignitaries, and they are not satisfied with their lives."

"Creating troubles every day and every day, in the end, I have to wipe their butts! Liu is favored, and the courtiers have criticized her a lot. Her natal family is still so restless. Isn't it going to leave a disaster in the history books in the future? The reputation of the demon concubine? If you don't teach them a lesson, the Liu family will really be turned upside down!"

Li Rui understood the truth of this, and sighed: "Although the imperial concubine is sad now, she will understand the painstaking efforts of the emperor in the future. But the second highness is young and cannot understand the things between the elders. The emperor's brother is so cold, the child I'm afraid it will be frightening."

Speaking of his favorite son, Emperor Jingfeng's tone softened: "Che'er has been smart since he was a child, even worse than I was when I was young. I have high hopes for him. As long as he doesn't make mistakes in the future, he will be a prince at least when he grows up." , Shiyi’s salary is generous in everything, and I will never lose him.”

"It's a pity that he has such an unclear mother's family." As he spoke, a cold look flashed in Emperor Jingfeng's eyes, "The Liu family is Che'er's mother's family, every time Che'er takes a step, the Liu family follows No matter what, we can't get away from it. The Liu family is greedy and insatiable, and in the future they will definitely use Che'er's banner to mess around outside."

"I'm afraid they will not only be unable to help Che'er, but also become a burden to him. Now that Che'er is only a prince, they are already so reckless. If they really make Che'er the crown prince, they will still have it? Isn't that waiting? Are they making trouble for the court?"

Li Rui's heart moved, he observed Emperor Jingfeng's expression, and asked tentatively: "Brother Huang...does he want to make His Highness the crown prince?"

Emperor Jingfeng and him staggered their gazes, and lowered their heads to look at the memorial on the table: "The eldest son inherits, as it should be. I never said that I would not appoint the eldest prince as the heir."

He never said that he would not appoint the eldest prince as the crown prince, but he also did not say that he would appoint the eldest prince as the crown prince. It was precisely because of his ambiguous attitude that he fueled the Liu family's ambitions.After all, the root of the disaster still lies with Emperor Jingfeng himself.

Thinking this way in his heart, Li Rui naturally didn't dare to say it directly, but asked: "When is the emperor going to issue an edict?"

Emperor Jingfeng paused, and continued to review the memorial: "Let's talk about it. The courtiers just had a quarrel. If I issue an edict at this time, wouldn't it appear that I am afraid of them? It will definitely get worse in the future. Take it easy and let them go first." for a while."

Well, I haven't made up my mind yet, so I have to drag it on again.

Li Rui frowned when he heard the words, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only sigh silently.
