Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 437.
"Do you know that I spent more than ten years of hard work on cultivating those officials who were implicated? But now they are destroyed in one day, eh..."

Li Zhong looked gloomily, looking at his two grandsons, he hated that iron could not become steel.

If he could, he really wanted to open their heads and see what was inside.

"Duan'er, Yan'er, hey, do you know that those officials... I have prepared them all for you! Hey!"

Li Zhong sighed repeatedly.

"Grandpa, we know we were wrong..." King Jinling and King Kuaiji couldn't hold their heads up.

"That's all, you will learn from the experience. You two, don't be so impulsive in the future. If you have anything to do, you can come to grandpa. You have asked my opinion first, and you must not do anything willful again!" Li Zhong patiently warned.

"My grandson understands, thank you grandpa for your teaching!" King Jinling and King Kuaiji bowed their hands in unison.

The three of them continued chatting, but most of the time it was Li Zhong who was talking, while King Jinling and King Kuaiji kept nodding and listening, seemingly listening.

Then King Jinling and King Kuaiji stood up to leave, and Li Zhong personally saw them off.

The two of them returned to their mansion, still depressed, their mood was really not beautiful!
Luo Ding's plan to humiliate Zhu Xiuyuan not only failed, Zhu Xiuyuan also took advantage of the opportunity and cut off his grandfather's power by less than half...

They were even scolded by grandpa for a long time and couldn't hold their heads up!
The two buddies were sitting in the living room in a daze, both looking preoccupied.

"Brother Wang." King Kuaiji was the first to break the silence. He turned around and looked at King Jinling: "That Uncle Jiangcheng was so hateful. He not only caught grandpa off guard with his cunning tricks, but also caused our two brothers to be lectured by grandpa. This tone... ...Young brother really can’t swallow it!”

"Second brother, what do you want to do? Didn't grandpa tell us to stay calm?" King Jinling was surprised.

"Brother Wang, the reason why we were defeated last time, so tragically, was actually all the fault of Na Luo Ding!"

The eyes of King Kuaiji shone with wisdom, and he continued: "The house in Luoding was not clean at all, and that's why the disaster star took hold of it, causing us brothers to be passive and caught off guard."

"What the second brother said... seems quite reasonable!" King Jinling nodded, "But the second brother, grandpa said..."

"Brother Wang!" King Kuaiji interrupted King Jinling, "What grandpa said is certainly true. But... Zhu Xiuyuan is just an earl, with a title as big as an ant, but he dares to ride on both of us brothers and dominate us. blessing!"

"If in the future, when this person is full-fledged, and even becomes a prince or king, by that time, you and I, brothers... I'm afraid..."

King Jinling was still undecided, hesitating and frowning tightly.

"Brother Wang, think about our identities. You are the eldest son of the emperor, the daughter of the imperial concubine! What a noble status! Would you be willing to be bullied by a little earl?" King Kuaiji fanned the flames.

What he said was a little heavy.

What King Jinling cares most about is his identity, which is also his most sensitive place.

Because he is the eldest son, the position of prince originally belongs to him, but...

The temptress took advantage of her favor and snatched the crown prince's position. Liu Shen, the son of the temptress, shot him out of the crown prince's position!

This is simply a thorn in his heart!

And it was stuck there for a long time, and it stung him all the time.

King Kuaiji's words teased the thorn again and completely stung King Jinling's sensitive nerve.

"That's right! Then what is Zhu Xiuyuan, a little earl, who dares to crawl on the heads of our two brothers to shit and pee, it's really deceiving!" King Jinling gritted his teeth, and the light in his eyes became firm. .

He wants revenge!

He wants to get his dignity back!

In this way, to soothe the pain from the thorn in my heart!
"Second brother, do you have any ideas?" King Jinling asked, having made a decision in his heart.

"Brother Wang, I am a fool but I have no talent. I already have an idea in my mind, which may be able to combat the arrogance of the disaster star." King Kuaiji said with a sinister smile.

"Oh, what's your idea?" King Jinling was overjoyed.

"Brother Wang, the bane star recently performed a martial arts competition. One of them was simply too extravagant. We can make a fuss about this one." The king of Kuaiji said with a sad smile.

"Oh!" King Jinling opened his mouth wide, his face slightly puzzled: "But... but Father Emperor has already agreed to martial arts and highly respects it, what else can we do?"

"Brother Wang..."

The King of Kuaiji was about to speak when suddenly a servant came to report that the adviser of the King of Jinling wanted to see him.

King Jinling waved his hand.

After a while, the counselor entered and saw this man dressed as a scholar. He was in his forties and looked smart. His name was Chen Dongyi.

After the ceremony, King Jinling told everything about what had just happened and asked Chen Dongyi for his opinion.

Chen Dongyi glanced at King Kuaiji, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is really good at tricks!"

"Oh, even the master agreed, what is the good idea of ​​the second brother?" King Jinling asked doubtfully.

"Your Highness, what Jiang Chengbo Zhu Xiuyuan did was to spend the imperial court's silver taels to win the hearts of warriors from all over the world! What he wants to do, his heart can be punished!" Chen Dongyi laughed.

"Hiss!" King Jinling took a breath and took two steps in excitement.

"That's it! Okay, okay, this second brother's idea is really brilliant!" King Jinling looked excited and almost jumped up: "Then I will enter the palace immediately and explain the matter to my father. I will definitely expose the disaster star. Sinister intentions!"

……

at the same time.

Jiangcheng Bo's Mansion.

Zhu Xiuyuan set off from the uncle's mansion, took Yan Dashan and several Jinwu guards with him, and rode towards the imperial city.

They came to the Chengtian Gate at the root of the imperial city, and Zhu Xiuyuan successfully entered it with the "Du Zhi" waist card.

Yan Dashan and the Jinwu Guards were waiting outside.

After Zhu Xiuyuan entered Chengtian Gate, he passed through Duanmen and went straight to Meridian Gate.

Another waist card was shown at the Meridian Gate, and Jin Wuwei, who was responsible for guarding the gate, immediately went in to report.

After a while, four little eunuchs followed the Jinwu Guard back. These four little eunuchs followed Zhu Xiuyuan closely before he could set foot in the Forbidden City.

The Forbidden City is an important place for the imperial palace, divided into the former dynasty and the rear palace.

The previous dynasty was a place where officials worshiped the emperor, and Zhu Xiuyuan had no problem walking around here.

As for the harem... Logically speaking, as a foreign minister and a man, Zhu Xiuyuan should not have come here alone.

But there are exceptions to everything.

During the construction of the artificial hot spring, Zhu Xiuyuan could enter and leave the harem with his waistband, but he needed four young eunuchs to follow him closely.

This was authorized by Emperor Chen, so naturally no one dared to gossip about it.

Zhu Xiuyuan came to the palace this time precisely because of the artificial hot spring.

After entering the Meridian Gate, he went straight to the artificial hot spring construction site near Qin'an Hall and personally inspected and provided guidance... The preparations for the martial arts examination and the construction of the artificial hot spring were carried out almost at the same time.

In the past few days, Zhu Xiuyuan has been running in both directions like this.

Because there is no precedent for these two matters and they are extremely important, Zhu Xiuyuan cannot give personal guidance.

To be honest, he is quite busy, the kind that never touches the ground.

"Uncle, uncle?" Suddenly, a young eunuch came to Zhu Xiuyuan at the construction site.

"Father-in-law?" Zhu Xiuyuan cupped his hands in greeting, "I wonder what your father-in-law wants from me?"

"Your Majesty learned that uncle has come to the palace. Long Yan was very happy, so he ordered our family to invite uncle." The young eunuch said with a smile.

"It turns out that His Majesty summoned me and asked my father-in-law to lead the way!"

So the young eunuch took Zhu Xiuyuan to the main hall of Qin'an Palace, where Emperor Chen and Concubine You were both there.

After the emperor and his ministers had finished the ceremony, Emperor Chen gave him a seat.

Emperor Chen smiled and said: "My beloved, I summoned you this time for no big deal. I just learned that your beloved has entered the palace, so I invited you to come together. You and I, my king and my ministers, have not had a good time over wine for several days." "

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!" Zhu Xiuyuan grinned.

Damn "a few days", it was clear that he had just entered the palace yesterday to attend Emperor Chen's banquet, how could he say he hadn't had a good time over wine in a few days?
After a while, delicious wine and delicacies were served, and Zhu Xiuyuan could hardly place the table in front of him.

After a few glasses of wine, Chen Huangxiao asked: "I wonder how the preparations for the martial arts competition and the construction of the hot springs are going? Are there any difficulties? If so, Aiqing will bring it up and I will make the decision for you. !"

"Your Majesty, the preparations for the martial arts examination are gradually advancing. The announcement of the martial arts examination has been spread to all states and counties across the country. According to the feedback from various places, brave people from all over the country are very active!"

"Also, the construction of venues and stands for martial arts competitions has begun outside the city. It will be completed before the Lantern Festival next year."

"In addition, special weapons for the martial arts competitions, such as bows and arrows, broadswords, stone swords, etc., are also being made by the Ministry of Industry. There will definitely be no problem when the martial arts competitions are held."

"The contents required for the 'Literary Examination' are also being prepared. When they are ready, they will be presented to His Majesty for your review as soon as possible!"

Zhu Xiuyuan raised his hands and said.

"Okay! My dear, I'm at ease with your work!" Chen Huang raised his wine glass. He was already a little tipsy.

But in fact, according to Zhu Xiuyuan's observation, this Emperor Chen should have just woken up.

Just woke up and started drinking and having fun...

It seems that Chen Huang’s bad habit of being drunk and lustful will never change!
"As for the construction of the hot spring... it will probably take about ten days! In ten days, Your Majesty will be able to enjoy the beauty of the hot spring in the palace!" Zhu Xiuyuan smiled again.

"Okay, ten days later, I have been looking forward to Aiqing's hot spring for a long time, haha, come here, Aiqing, have a drink..." Chen Huang laughed.
