Prince Rong!
All the ministers' eyes widened in disbelief!
Prince Rong is not the name of an ordinary prince. Before Emperor Liang was made a prince by the late emperor, he was first named Prince Rong.
It can be said that the three words "Prince Rong" represent half of the prince's weight!
But now, Emperor Liang actually intends to award the title of Prince Rong to the fourth prince who was the most inconspicuous in the past.
This proves that Emperor Liang deliberately considered the fourth prince as the heir apparent...
Song Huan never expected that he would get unexpected gains from making such a bet with Qian Zhutong!
Moreover, it is still a big gain!
Song Huan was so happy that he quickly knelt down on one knee and saluted Emperor Liang: "Thank you so much, Father!"
"Father, please rest assured that I will live up to your trust!"
If he really gets the title of Prince Rong, does that mean he can move out of the palace and live alone in his own mansion?
By that time, wouldn't it be possible to live a life without shame with the tigress?
Raising a few concubines as beautiful as flowers, such a magical life is simply not too pleasant...
After the morning court, several neutral courtiers had already formed a group around Song Huan.
"Congratulations to the fourth prince, congratulations to the fourth prince!"
"You are the first prince among several princes to be named a prince by His Majesty! Such a supreme honor is really gratifying and congratulatory!"
"I also ask the fourth prince to give you more support in the future. I will be ashamed of my humble position. I am very grateful!"
The third prince, Song Liang, greeted him warmly with a flattering look on his face.
"Fourth brother, third brother, I have long seen that you are a talented person!"
"Seeing that you have achieved what you have achieved today, third brother, I am happy for you from the bottom of my heart!"
"In the future, if your father rewards you with a big prince's mansion, don't forget to invite Third Brother to have dinner with me often!"
Looking at the courtiers and Song Liang who were warmly congratulating him, Song Huan couldn't help but sigh sincerely.
As the saying goes, once a person gains power, he will find that he is surrounded by good people.
In the past, I was still a useless piece of trash who was not taken seriously, and all the courtiers naturally sneered at him with disdain on their faces.
Even the palace maids and eunuchs passing by refused to show any respect to me!
However, this time has long been different from that time. Today, Song Huan is a popular fried chicken who is about to be named Prince Rong by Emperor Liang.
There are people everywhere who want to fawn over, and naturally, there are also people everywhere who want to drag Song Huan into the water!
Song Huan was surrounded by congratulatory courtiers, and Qian Zhutong couldn't help but snorted coldly.
"Haha, the fourth prince should concentrate on studying how to make a divine arm bow!"
"The fourth prince has praised this artifact to great effect. His Majesty has high hopes for it."
"If you can't create it, not only will you not be named Prince Rong, but you will also have to stay away from the court from now on!"
"Maybe he will be charged with deceiving the emperor!"
Qian Zhutong was extremely arrogant. He obviously relied on the general as his backer and did not take Song Huan seriously at all.
Even as the current prince, Qian Zhutong had never been respectful.
What's more, the fourth prince is such a villain!
Faced with Qian Zhutong's provocation, Song Huan just smiled and didn't say much.
What a pitiful person, who doesn't know that his time as an official is approaching and his time is running out.
Let him dance around for a few more days. It won't be long before he can no longer be the Minister of War!
…
"Bang!"
Taishi Mansion, in the study.
A loud noise shook Jiang Lin's body standing in front of the desk.
He has followed the Grand Master for more than ten years, and he only knows that the Grand Master has always been indifferent to emotions and anger. He is a deep and steady person and has never shown his emotions.
But today, facing the Grand Master whose face was full of anger, Jiang Lin felt panic for the first time.
This is the furious Grand Master that I have never seen in all these years!
"Tai...Master Taishi, but what happened in the morning this morning..."
"What happened?" Shangguan Yi narrowed his slender eyes and looked at Jiang Lin coldly, "Are you still embarrassed to ask me what happened?"
Jiang Lin was suffocated by the pressure that hit his face. He immediately softened and fell to his knees on the ground.
"It's because my subordinates are not doing things right!"
"Please, Grand Master, please calm down!"
Although Jiang Lin didn't know what happened specifically, he would never go wrong by apologizing.
Jiang Lin laid his head on the ground and thought rapidly.
Could it be that something happened to Guo Tiande?
But last night, I obviously waited until Guo Tiande reported the good news before I fell asleep peacefully!
Why is the Grand Master so angry during this morning's court meeting?
Jiang Lin was lowering his head to think when Shangguan Yi's angry voice sounded again.
"Do you know about Guo Tiande and Xing'er?"
Guo Tiande and... the second lady?
What could happen to them?
Jiang Lin was confused, but he didn't dare to ask Shangguan Yi for clarification, so he could only say cautiously: "But Guo Tiande didn't handle it well..."
Shangguan Yi's face had already become extremely ugly.
"The matter between Guo Tiande and Xing'er has actually reached the ears of the emperor!"
"Now I have become the laughing stock of the whole world!"
"Is this how you do things when you're with me?"
Jiang Lin's cold sweat flowed down his face. Faced with the Grand Master's anger, he knew that just kowtow and apologize would not solve any problem at all.
"bass--"
Jiang Lin took out a small knife from his arms. The moment the knife was unsheathed, a cold light flashed in the air.
"This subordinate knows that he is not doing well in his work, and is ashamed of the Grand Master!"
"Today, in front of your Majesty, I would like to point out my wisdom and pray that your Majesty will give me another chance!"
As he spoke, Jiang Lin gritted his teeth and slashed at the little finger of his left hand.
He picked up the knife and dropped it, making a scraping sound.
Jiang Lin's left hand was bleeding profusely!
Shangguan Yi watched this scene coldly and sighed when he saw Jiang Lin's face was extremely pale.
"Here comes the doctor!"
"yes!"
Seeing that Shangguan Yi was willing to call him doctor, Jiang Lin finally showed some relief on his face.
"Please... please rest assured, my subordinates will take a warning from what happened this time..."
"I will never let you down again..."
Shangguan Yi said calmly: "Do you know why I didn't stop you?"
"This time, it's me who's embarrassed."
"If it is my life that will be lost next time, then if you stay with me, you will naturally not end up with a good death!"
"This finger of yours should be buried with Xing'er's family."
Hearing this, Jiang Lin ignored the pain in his hands for a moment and widened his eyes in surprise.
"Sir...what do you mean?!"
Shangguan Yi did not open his mouth to explain anything, but just turned around and left.
Xing'er threatened the prince and kidnapped the prime minister's daughter. At most, it would only be a crime of exile, but it would not cost her life.
However, as the current Grand Master, Shangguan Yi would never allow himself to have an exiled daughter!
Xing'er, if you and I are father and daughter, let your father personally take you on your last journey.
In the next life, don't meet your father again, and just be a free and unrestrained daughter of a commoner...
