Before the morning court began, King Zheng beat the fourth prince at the palace gate. As soon as he got out of the car and saw the fourth prince, he angrily raised his fist at the fourth prince. However, the fourth prince did not continue to be beaten. After being punched by King Zheng for no apparent reason, he immediately fought back. So the two brothers fought at the palace gate.
King Zheng beat the fourth prince and cursed him angrily.
Even though the fourth prince looked polite and polite, he was not weak at all when it came to beating people. Prince Zheng was no match for him, and he was beaten to the ground by the fourth prince after a while. If someone hadn't started the fight, Prince Zheng would have been beaten badly by the fourth prince.
The fourth prince is both civil and military, and his martial arts are as good as his talents.
King Zheng looked domineering when he first beat the fourth prince, but within a few breaths, he was beaten until the fourth prince screamed.
There was a bruise on the corner of the fourth prince's mouth, which was beaten by King Zheng while he was not paying attention. And Prince Zheng was beaten... horribly by the fourth prince.
"Fourth, I am your brother, how dare you beat me." The corners of Prince Zheng's mouth were beaten to bleed, and a face that he thought was handsome was bruised and swollen by the fourth prince's beating. His court clothes were also messed up, and his jade crown was a little crooked. He looked very embarrassed, not at all his usual cool and elegant look.
He covered his face with one hand, pointed at the fourth prince with the other, and cursed angrily: "Fourth, you have no brother! You are rebellious! You are rebellious and arrogant! You are arrogant and domineering..." King Zheng did not expect that he would be beaten by the fourth prince. There is no way to fight back.
Before he could finish his words, the fourth prince looked over with a cold look. He felt chilled in his heart and shut his mouth in fear.
The fourth prince ignored Prince Zheng and had a cold expression on his face.
Prince Zheng felt that he was too cowardly just now, so he immediately stiffened his neck and continued to scold the fourth prince angrily: "Fourth Prince, you vixen..."
The fourth prince interrupted King Zheng and said in a cold tone: "Brother Three Emperors, be careful what you say."
"My king..." King Zheng wanted to say something else, but Marquis Anyang covered his mouth.
Marquis Anyang knew why King Zheng was angry with the fourth prince. If King Zheng is allowed to continue to quarrel, it will only be King Zheng who is embarrassed.
"Woooooooooooo..." King Zheng, whose mouth was covered, spread his claws.
Seeing King Zheng's miserable appearance with a bruised nose and swollen face, Marquis Anyang felt that King Zheng was not suitable to go to court again, and was about to persuade King Zheng to take leave and go back. At this moment, the palace door opened.
King Zheng can't leave.
Marquis Anyang's mood instantly became heavy.
The morning court had not yet begun, so the ministers went to the side hall of Chengguang Hall to wait.
Sun Kui and his young eunuchs brought hot tea and snacks for the ministers to moisten their throats and cushion their stomachs before going to court. Sometimes morning meetings last for a long time and it is not uncommon for them to end at noon. Sometimes the morning session even lasts until the afternoon. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare tea and snacks for the ministers before going to morning exercises, otherwise the ministers will be thirsty and hungry if they stay in court for a long time.
He was shocked when he saw that the faces of King Zheng and the Fourth Prince were injured, and he hurriedly asked with concern what had happened.
King Zheng insisted that he had just fallen.
Sun Kui: "..." Your Highness Prince Zheng, do you think this slave is a fool?
Immediately, he asked the fourth prince again.
The fourth prince did not lie and told the truth: "Prince Zheng beat me."
"Fourth!" King Zheng slammed the table beside him, stood up and glared at the fourth prince, "How dare you complain, how shameless!"
The fourth prince looked at Prince Zheng with cold eyes and said, "I'm just telling the truth!"
"you……"
The fourth prince ignored King Zheng again, looked back at Sun Kui, and politely told Sun Kui in detail about King Zheng's beating just now.
"Fourth, you are despicable and insidious..." Prince Zheng scolded the fourth prince with a livid face.
As soon as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince entered the side hall, he heard the fourth prince's words and Prince Zheng's curses. With a straight face, he opened his mouth to give a stern lesson: "Third brother, it's your fault that you hit the fourth brother first. How can you scold the fourth brother?"
What bothered King Zheng most was that His Highness the Crown Prince acted like an eldest brother and criticized him. He said to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with a dissatisfied look on his face: "Brother, this is none of your business. Why are you talking so much?"
The minister who supported His Royal Highness the Crown Prince scolded King Zheng severely, saying that His Highness King Zheng was rebellious and arrogant, disrespectful to his eldest brother and His Highness the Crown Prince.
Just as King Zheng was about to say something, Sun Kui returned and asked him and the fourth prince to see the emperor.
Hearing this, King Zheng's heart tightened and he immediately became frightened. The arrogance of beating the fourth prince at the palace gate just now completely disappeared.
It's over, his father will definitely punish him! Father will definitely beat him!
The emperor would not be merciful at all when he beat his son. Once upon a time, King Zheng was whipped by the emperor with a whip, which left him breathless.
King Zheng, who has become a king as an adult, is still as afraid of the emperor as he was when he was a child. After all, he was beaten a lot when he was a child.
The fourth prince looked magnanimous and not afraid at all.
Marquis Anyang looked at His Royal Highness Prince Zheng walking out of the side hall and sighed helplessly in his heart.
After many warnings and instructions, His Highness was told to be honest and not to do anything out of line. However, His Highness still refused to listen and actually beat the fourth prince.
His Highness's act of hitting the Fourth Prince was completely rude and would definitely displease the Emperor.
Because of Princess Annan's incident, the emperor is still angry with His Highness. Now His Highness beats the fourth prince because of Princess An Nan, which will make the Emperor even more angry with His Highness.
I originally wanted to find an important position and a good fiefdom for His Highness in the next two years, but now that His Highness has beaten the fourth prince, I am afraid that he will no longer want it in the next few years.
Your Highness, why are you so restless?
If Concubine Shu had another son, Marquis Anyang would never care about Prince Zheng, a nephew who was holding him back.
King Zheng did a lot of extremely outrageous things since he was a child, and Marquis Anyang didn't know how many times he wiped his butt.
For Prince Zheng, a nephew who had been troubled since childhood, Marquis Anyang really... loved, hated and felt helpless.
In the dining hall of Chengguang Hall, the emperor had just finished his breakfast and heard that King Zheng had beaten the fourth prince, so he was naturally angry.
"Fourth brother, what did you do to anger His Royal Highness King Zheng?" The emperor said with a smile, "Fourth brother, this is your fault. His Highness King Zheng is a noble person and he beats you. How could you If you fight back, you should let His Highness Prince Zheng beat you to death."
When King Zheng heard the emperor's strange words, his bruised and purple face suddenly turned pale, and his eyes were full of horror.
He knelt on the ground, shaking violently. He wanted to say something, but he was too frightened to say a word.
The fourth prince kneeling next to him was not afraid at all, and cooperated with the emperor's words: "What my father said is that as a younger brother, it is appropriate for him to be beaten by his elder brother. He should not fight back, even if he beats him to death."
When His Highness Prince Zheng heard what the Fourth Prince said, he scolded the Fourth Prince in his heart.
"Your Highness Prince Zheng, why did you beat the fourth prince?"
The emperor's tone was not angry at all, but even full of joking, but it made His Royal Highness Prince Zheng tremble even more.
"Father...Father...Father, I know I was wrong..." His lips were trembling very hard, "I shouldn't hit my fourth brother, I know I was wrong."
"Your Highness, Prince Zheng, is so majestic. What's wrong with you? It's the fourth child who doesn't know the truth."
His Royal Highness Prince Zheng knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times: "It's my fault. I shouldn't have beaten my fourth brother. Please forgive me."
"You are right, it was the fourth prince who was wrong." The emperor looked at the fourth prince and said in a gentle tone, "Fourth prince, why don't you apologize to His Highness Prince Zheng?"
"Father, it's my fault, and fourth brother is right." His Highness Prince Zheng turned around quickly and apologized to the fourth prince, "Fourth brother, I'm sorry, it was my fault just now. I hit you on impulse. Yes My fault……"
Before coming to the dining hall, His Highness Prince Zheng was very arrogant in front of the fourth prince, but now he kept apologizing to the fourth prince.
The fourth prince hurriedly said that it was his fault, not His Highness Prince Zheng's fault. It was because he, the younger brother, did not like to make his elder brother unhappy. It was right for his elder brother to hit him and he should not have fought back.
His Highness Prince Zheng hurriedly said that it was his fault, that he was wrong...
With a thud, the emperor put down the tea cup in his hand.
His Highness Prince Zheng and the Fourth Prince froze in fear, neither of them dared to say anything.
"Prince Zheng, let me tell you, where did the Fourth offend you, and I will make the decision for you?" The emperor's tone was very kind, but in Prince Zheng's ears, it was very scary. "If the Fourth Brother is wrong, I will help you beat him up."
"It's my son's fault... The fourth brother is right..." King Zheng now regretted beating the fourth prince. If he wants to fight, he should send someone to fight the fourth child.
"Aren't you going to tell me?" The emperor said with a smile, "Then let me guess."
"Father..." Prince Zheng wished he could faint at this moment.
"Is it because of your concubine?"
When the fourth prince heard the emperor's words, he looked at Prince Zheng in surprise and confusion.
"Princess Zheng Zi?" Who is Princess Zheng Zi and what does it have to do with him.
Seeing the confused look on the fourth prince's face, Sun Kui, who was standing aside, kindly reminded him: "Your Highness, Your Highness, the concubine of His Highness Prince Zheng is the princess of Annan Kingdom."
After hearing this, the fourth prince had a look of surprise on his face, but then he showed a look of doubt.
"What's wrong with Princess Annan? What does it have to do with me?"
"Fourth, Princess Annan is interested in you, but our noble Prince Zheng kidnapped you and forced you to become His Highness Prince Zheng's concubine."
The fourth prince frowned and said with a very ugly expression: "Father, my son and I have no contact with Princess Annan." He didn't even remember who Prince Zheng's concubine was.
"You are a gentleman, but you can't bear the thought of someone judging you with a villain's heart." The emperor looked at Prince Zheng with a look of disgust on his face, "You have the ability to forcibly marry the princess of Annan, why can't you give up? Do people have you in their hearts?
His Highness Prince Zheng's face turned red with embarrassment. He wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.
"It's my fault, please punish me."
"My princess has come to beg me to let me agree to her reconciliation with you. What do you think?"
When King Zheng heard this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the emperor in shock: "Father, if I don't agree, I will never reconcile with her." Although King Zheng had long been fed up with the princess of Annan, he I can't reconcile with her, I still have to support her.
"I didn't realize that you are still an infatuated person, but you are so affectionate towards her." The emperor's words were full of sarcasm, which made King Zheng's face turn red again and again.
King Zheng lowered his head, bit his lip and said, "My son...my son...is unwilling to reconcile." If it weren't for the iron, gold and silver mines in Annan, he would not marry that bitch. As the side princess. "Father, I beg you, I don't want to reconcile with her."
"You don't want to, but I want to make peace with you." The emperor said, his face turned cold, and his tone became cold, "The princess said that if she can't make peace with you, she will commit suicide. You tell me Can you not agree?"
"Father, please give me another chance. I will definitely change her mind." King Zheng begged the emperor anxiously, "Father, please give me another chance!"
The emperor looked at King Zheng and said nothing.
The fourth prince who was kneeling next to His Highness Prince Zheng did not speak either. This matter has nothing to do with him, and there is no need for him to plead for King Zheng.
"Father, it's my fault. I shouldn't have beaten my fourth brother. You can punish me, but please don't agree to Princess Annan's request. Father, I beg you..." He must not talk to that person. Bitch woman and divorce.
Sun Kui on the side hesitated for a moment, but decided to remind the emperor: "Your Majesty, it's time to go to the morning court."
The emperor stood up and looked at King Zheng condescendingly.
King Zheng looked at the emperor pitifully: "Father, please."
"I'll give you a chance. If you can't make Princess Annan change her mind, I'll let her make peace with you."
"Thank you, Father, I will definitely make the princess change your mind." King Zheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"As for the fact that you beat the fourth child..."
"Father, I am willing to accept the punishment." King Zheng said sincerely, "I beg your father to punish me."
"Go back and face the wall to think for a month." The emperor said and kicked King Zheng down.
His kick was not heavy, but it was not light either. A look of pain appeared on King Zheng's face for a moment.
"Thank you, Father."
"get out."
King Zheng stood up slowly and left the dining hall.
"Fourth, let's go."
"Yes, Father."
King Zheng's appearance with a bruised nose and swollen eyes was not suitable for going to court. After exiting the dining room, he hurriedly left the palace.
Princess Annan asked the emperor to agree to her reconciliation, but King Zheng didn't know about it. He has to go back and coax Princess Annan well now, otherwise his father will definitely allow that bitch to reconcile with him. If that bitch is allowed to follow the fourth child, then the Annan royal family will favor the fourth child.
In the main hall of Chengguang Hall, the morning dynasty had already begun.
The emperor had not yet opened his mouth to teach Anyang Hou, Anyang Hou took the initiative to apologize to the emperor, saying that he did not stop King Zheng, and also said that his uncle did not teach King Zheng well.
Hearing what King Zheng said, the emperor waved his hand and said that it was not his fault, it was his father who failed to teach his son well, and it had nothing to do with him.
This sentence frightened the Marquis Anyang's face. He hurriedly apologized to the emperor, saying that he didn't mean it...
The emperor interrupted Anyanghou's words. Anyanghou did not dare to say any more and returned to the queue obediently.
The ministers who had something to report spoke one after another. It's all little things, nothing big.
"Oh, by the way, the fourth child will be an adult soon, and I forgot to give him a marriage."
Hearing what the emperor said, many ministers became concerned.
For His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King, although the Fourth Prince will not pose a threat to them for the time being, they are always wary of the Fourth Prince.
Over the years, the fourth prince has not interacted with the ministers, and has appeared to be "indifferent to the world." However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King never believed that the fourth prince would not seize the throne. There is no prince who does not want to compete for that position, unless he is a fool.
Zhao Yao: "..." I feel like I have some connotation.
The fourth prince is about to come of age, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Acting King, and the ministers will all be very concerned about his title, fiefdom, and marriage.
The emperor has not yet made it clear which place he will give to the fourth prince as a fief, but ministers all speculate that the emperor will give Liangzhou as a fief. As for the future princess of the fourth prince, most ministers guessed that it should be from the Li family, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Dai Wang were worried that the emperor would give the daughter of a military general to the fourth prince as a princess.
The fourth prince himself was very calm. To him, it doesn't matter who he marries as his princess.
The emperor saw that many of his ministers were very concerned about the fourth prince's marriage, and he raised his lips with a playful smile.
"Many of my dear friends have girls with hair-length hair. I wonder which dear friend is willing to be my in-law?"
The ministers below looked at each other, but none of them dared to speak. Many of them wanted to be in-laws with the emperor, but they dared not say so.
"No, am I so bad that no one wants to be my in-law?" The emperor showed a hurt expression.
"Your Majesty, I would like to become your in-laws."
who is it?
The ministers all looked at the person who said this, and then there were looks of astonishment on their faces.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King had shocked expressions on their faces when they saw the person who said this. The two of them exclaimed in unison: "General Lu?!"
Seeing General Lu walking out of the column, the ministers gasped in shock.
The fourth prince, who was originally calm, had a look of surprise on his face when he saw General Lu.
"Hey, Lao Lu, are you willing to be my in-laws?"
General Lu's tone was full of reverence: "It is my honor to be my in-laws with the emperor, and it is my blessing that my daughter can marry His Highness the Fourth Prince in her eight lifetimes."
The emperor patted the armrest of the dragon chair vigorously, laughed loudly and said: "Well said, Lao Lu still has your judgment."
General Lu was a little embarrassed by the emperor's praise, with a shy look on his face.
When the other ministers saw his shy look, they all felt disgusted.
They really underestimated General Lu. They thought General Lu was an honest man, but they didn't expect him to be such a cunning and flattering person.
General Lu was very quiet in the court on weekdays, so quiet that he had no sense of presence. However, no one among the ministers dared to underestimate him.
He is a third-rank Pingdong general and has made many military exploits. He was once the emperor's domestic slave, and it can be said that he was also the emperor's confidant.
Thirty or forty years ago, General Lu and his family were almost killed by bandits. It was the emperor who saved their family. Then General Lu insisted on repaying his kindness and stayed with the emperor, and also worked for the emperor. The emperor had no choice but to He was accepted as his younger brother, but he didn't want to and insisted on being the emperor's servant, so the emperor had to let him go.
Since then, he has been by the emperor's side, serving and protecting the emperor attentively. On the battlefield, he saved the emperor several times.
Although he is not as good as Shen Hu and others in leading troops in battle, he is still very powerful compared to others.
Even though he was no longer the emperor's servant and was already a famous third-grade general, he still regarded himself as a servant and was always loyal to the emperor.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, except for Lao Lu, you guys really let me down." The emperor's tone was very sad, "I didn't expect you to hate me so much. I'm so sad."
He Xiang and Taishi Liu watched the emperor's performance with indifferent expressions.
The other ministers knew clearly that the emperor was acting, but they still took the bait and said that they were willing to become in-laws with the emperor.
The ministers rushed to say that their daughter, niece, or niece was good-looking and virtuous, and would definitely be a good concubine for His Royal Highness.
The emperor glared at the ministers and said arrogantly: "You want to be my in-laws now, but I don't want to do that anymore."
"Your Majesty, no, I really want to be your in-laws..."
The emperor raised his hand to interrupt the ministers. He said with a serious look: "Since it was Lao Lu who was the first to stand up and say that he was willing to be my in-laws, then it should be Lao Lu."
When the other ministers heard this, they looked extremely surprised.
Although the ministers already knew what happened when General Cai Lu came forward, they still couldn't hide their shock when they heard the emperor say it himself.
The expressions of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King instantly turned very ugly.
"Lao Lu's daughter is pretty good. Lao Si, are you willing to marry her as your princess?"
The fourth prince was stunned just now, but now he has come to his senses, but his heart is still in turmoil.
"My son is willing. It is my blessing to marry General Lu's daughter." He never expected that his father would marry General Lu's daughter to him. This... my father...
"In that case, Fourth Brother, I will marry Lao Lu's daughter to you as your princess."
The fourth prince knelt on the ground and saluted the emperor: "Thank you, father!"
General Lu also knelt on the ground and saluted solemnly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The emperor said with a smile on his face: "Old Lu, in the future we will be our sons and daughters' in-laws."
"It's my honor!"
Many ministers were stunned by this marriage grant. Not only the fourth prince did not expect, but they also did not expect that the emperor would marry General Lu's daughter to the fourth prince.
Although General Lu is not as high-ranking as Chu Ying and the other four generals, he is also the emperor's confidant. And unlike the four generals, he has been with the emperor since he was a child.
Now, the emperor wants to marry his daughter to the fourth prince, which means that the emperor values the fourth prince very much.
His Royal Highness Prince Dai has always been favored by the emperor, but Princess Dai is from the Xuanping Hou Mansion, not the daughter of any general. And so is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
The ministers all thought that the emperor would not marry the daughter of his confidants to any prince, because he did not want his confidants to get involved in the fights between the princes. Unexpectedly, the emperor asked the fourth prince to marry General Lu's daughter as the princess. This... is amazing!
Could it be that the fourth prince is the emperor's favorite son?
The first update is here, and there will be another update in the evening.
Emperor: It’s too late. I don’t want to be your in-laws anymore.
The ministers cried bitterly: Your Majesty, give me another chance.
Zhao Yao: Obviously it has nothing to do with me, so why am I being criticized:
Author: Because they think you are a fool.
Ministers: The clown turns out to be myself.
