happy match

After the initial shock passed, the third prince finally calmed down and thought.

Father's favorite son is none other than himself, and he is still very confident in this.If it weren't for the fact that the crown prince was born two years earlier and had the advantage of being the eldest son, the position of crown prince would have been in his pocket long ago.The action this time was actually not too rash.With the foreshadowing of the previous few months, the recent movements of the court are also very beneficial to him.No matter how you look at it, it is the best time to ask for a new crown prince.

But why is the father so furious?Almost mercilessly dismissed everyone's performance, and made such a big commotion.It's clear that he wants to use this behavior to warn him not to think about the prince's position in the future...

Which link went wrong?Or was someone playing tricks behind his back, and he didn't notice it?

After all, Concubine Zheng Gui is a woman of the generation, and it is okay to do some tricks and calculations in the harem on weekdays, but she is not familiar with the affairs of the court.Liushenwuzhu panicked for a moment, but still couldn't figure out the reason.Seeing the third prince's serious expression, he couldn't help asking: "Zhang'er, have you figured it out? What went wrong? Why did your father react like this?"

The third prince held back his anger, and a coldness flashed in his eyes: "I haven't thought about what it is, but it is obvious that someone has tripped me up in the dark. The emperor has a grudge against me, so there is a thunderstorm." angry."

"Who could be plotting against you?" Concubine Zheng asked.

The third prince thought for a moment, but couldn't figure it out. He frowned and said, "It should be someone from the prince's faction. I can't think of who it is..."

Not only can't think of who this person is, but also can't think of what method this person used to plot against him!He lost this round really uselessly.

Seeing the third prince's distraught look, Concubine Zheng felt distressed, and comforted her in a low voice: "Your father must have been deceived by a villain, and I don't know why he misunderstood you. It will be fine. You don't have to worry, he has always loved you, and there will be more opportunities in the future."

That being said.But even Concubine Zheng knew that hope was getting slimmer.

In the case of adequate preparations, but he returned home without a feather. Such a result was not only a head-on blow to the Third Prince.I'm afraid it will be a fatal blow to the people of the Third Prince's faction.Several heavyweight figures have all had their noses turned into ashes. Who else would dare to take the lead in delivering such a memorial in the future?

The third prince also knew very well that these were Concubine Zheng's words of comfort, but when he was feeling down.Hearing such words always makes me feel better: "Don't worry, Concubine Mu, I won't be ruined just because of this blow..."

Before the words were finished, the voice of the palace maid sounded outside the door: "I report to the imperial concubine, and to the third prince, the emperor ordered someone to pass an order, and please go to the imperial study now."

The third prince and Concubine Zheng were all shocked.The emperor has just dispatched a group of ministers.Now ordering someone to call him over... No matter how you think about it, it's not a good rhythm!

But the emperor's oral order has come, regardless of whether the third prince is willing or not.You must go to the Imperial Study Room!

The third prince took a few deep breaths, and comforted Concubine Zheng in a low voice: "Mother and concubine don't worry, the emperor told me to go, not necessarily to scold me. I'll go there now and see what's going on."

A gleam of water flashed in Zheng Guifei's eyes, and her voice was a little choked up: "If your father gets angry, you must not contradict him. I would rather suffer some grievances. I will make plans after this time."

The third prince squeezed out a smile and nodded.

No matter how uneasy you are in your heart.The moment he walked out of Concubine Zheng's bedroom, the Third Prince returned to his former composure -- at least on the surface.Even if you lose, you can't show depression in front of others. It is also a kind of courage to face it calmly with your head held high.

However, most of this courage flew away the moment I entered the imperial study and saw the emperor.

The emperor was sitting in front of the large desk, there was not much anger on his face, but his expression was cold.Those who are close and familiar with the emperor know that this is what the emperor looks like when he is really angry...

The third prince's heart skipped a beat, and his mind raced quickly.But there was a calm and gentle smile on his face: "I have seen my father!"

The emperor didn't have a smile on his face like in the past, but just glanced at him lightly: "You entered the palace in the morning!"

This seemingly thoughtless question made the Third Prince shiver secretly.When the emperor asked this question, he was clearly accusing him of secretly instigating the ministers to present the memorial...Of course, this is also the case.It was true that he entered the palace in the morning, waiting happily for the good news.

It's just that there are some things that even if they know each other well, as long as they don't admit it, they don't have it.

The third prince responded respectfully: "I know that my mother and concubine are not in good health these days, so I specially went to the palace to visit."

When mentioning Concubine Zheng, the emperor's expression softened a little, but he didn't ask Concubine Zheng how she was, but talked about the memorial: "Come here, and have a look at this pile of memorials."

The third prince was taken aback for a moment, then he walked over bravely under the emperor's cold gaze.That pile of memorials was exactly the pile that was thrown on the ground before, and now they were picked up one by one.The emperor didn't speak, but just gestured to the third prince to read the memorial with his eyes.

The third prince tried his best to suppress all the panic, picked up a book pretending to be calm, and opened it to read.

The first memorial was written by Uncle Zheng Yun.I don’t need to go into details about the above content, everyone understands it.But what is shocking is the vermilion imperial criticism below the memorial.

Since the prince is mediocre and incompetent, who can replace the prince?

The third prince only felt that two sharp and substantial eyes fell on his face, as if they could see through all his hidden thoughts.That kind of invisible coercion can only be perceived by the person concerned.

Beads of sweat gradually appeared on the third prince's forehead, and at this moment, he suddenly realized something in his heart.This time, he probably didn't want to get away easily.The emperor's posture clearly shows that he wants to ask the teacher to punish him.Although he still doesn't know what he did wrong, the most important thing right now is not this, but to let the emperor calm down...

The third prince is also a decisive person. After thinking about this level, he no longer read the memorial, but knelt down with a plop: "Father, calm down, my son knows his mistake."

"Know your mistake?" The emperor repeated slowly, his eyes still condensed: "Since you know your mistake, then tell me, what exactly is your mistake?"

The third prince lowered his head, so he couldn't know what the emperor's face was like at the moment.I can only infer from the emperor's calm and indifferent voice, if I don't reflect deeply, I probably won't even think about stepping into this imperial study again...

"I shouldn't want to be the crown prince." The third prince continued cruelly: "You shouldn't instigate everyone to go to the memorial, which makes the father furious. It's because the minister is unfilial..."

"It's not wrong for you to want to be a prince." The emperor unexpectedly interrupted him: "To be my son, if you don't even dare to have such ambitions, you are too cowardly and useless."

Those who heard this were terrified.Not only did the third prince not feel calm, but he became more and more worried: "Father said so, it really makes my son ashamed."

The emperor fell silent, as if he was waiting for something.The third prince was worried about saying too much and making mistakes, so he simply kept silent.

In such silence, the third prince seemed to hear the emperor sigh softly.This sigh contained too many complicated contents.It seems that there is anger and dissatisfaction, but more, it is a deep disappointment.

Of course the third prince is a very smart person, otherwise he wouldn't have been favored by the emperor for so many years.He intuitively realized that he must have missed something very important.But what is it?My mind was in such a mess that I couldn't think of anything at all.Subconsciously looked up at the emperor.

Then, the third prince was shocked by the disappointed and angry expression on the emperor's face, and he opened his mouth without thinking: "Father, what did my son do wrong, please tell me clearly!"

The emperor took a complicated look at the third prince who was kneeling there upright: "Don't you know what you have done yourself?"

What the hell the hell is that? !

It was the first time in the third prince's life that he had tasted this kind of unspeakable bitterness, and the depression and resentment in his heart could not be described in words: "Father, sons and ministers should not form cliques for personal gain, and get to know important officials in the court outside the court... ...."

"It's all up to now, aren't you still telling the truth?" Seeing that he always refused to tell the truth, the emperor was completely disappointed, and his face became condensed again.

I don't know what's going on at all, what should he say?

The third prince was full of grievances, but he had no place to complain, so he could only kneel and listen to the hadith.He was furious in his heart, if he found out who was plotting behind the scenes, he would never spare this person!

The emperor's patience was also exhausted, and he didn't want to say anything more. He said in a deep voice, "Since you haven't figured out where you are wrong, I will give you time to think about it. From today on, you don't have to It's time to go to court. Stay in your mansion with peace of mind, when will you think about it clearly, and when will you come see me again!"

He was actually going to be imprisoned in the Prince's Mansion.

The third prince felt a chill in his heart.How proud I was when the prince was punished and grounded more than a month ago.I didn't come to Feng Shui first, and it was my turn so soon...

Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king!Even though the third prince was full of bitterness, he couldn't say a word at this time, so he responded respectfully.

The emperor's slightly tired voice came from behind the desk: "I'm tired too, kneel down!"

The third prince had no choice but to kneel down and silently retreated from the imperial study.

The moment he walked out of the imperial study room, his legs were a little weak and his heart was at a loss.But what's more, it's the incomprehension and anger that can't be expressed.

In this round, he lost inexplicably without even knowing his opponent! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
