The next day.
Meeting in the main hall.
Zhao Chongyuan put on a dragon robe early in the morning and sat on the dragon chair. Zhao Qingzhan at the bottom left stood aside and yawned.
Early in the morning, I was dragged out of bed by my personal eunuch with a confused look on my face.
As for what to do.
He was completely unclear.
I don’t even know the reason for going to the morning meeting.
But one thing he knew very well was that today was the day when his Nine Emperors uncle Zhao Ding went to court for the first time since he returned to Beijing.
For myself, the Nine Emperors Uncle.
Zhao Qingzhan was not very impressed.
All he knew was that as long as he could remember, his Nine Emperors Uncle had already been sent to Youzhou and became a vassal.
To be honest, for this Nine Emperors Uncle.
He, Zhao Qingzhan, is really envious of him.
Is there anything more exciting in the world than encircling the Daqian border?
Especially recently, the imperial grandmother also vaguely revealed to him that his imperial grandfather, Zhao Chongyuan, was going to establish the throne again.
This matter may be a big deal to others, and it is not an exaggeration to cry for father and mother.
But for him, Zhao Qingzhan.
Is there anything more joyful than this in the world?
There is no need to face the boring government affairs all day long in the deep palace compound, and learn the ways of governing the country that make people sleepy.
What a relief for him!
Officials from the Sixth Department reported on the major and minor matters in various places in recent days as usual.
Zhao Chongyuan sat on the dragon chair, closed his eyes, listened and gave some opinions from time to time.
Waiting for the sixth part to be dealt with.
Zhao Chongyuan then looked at Wang Lishi and shouted.
"Lishi, has King Yan arrived?"
After hearing what Zhao Chongyuan said, Wang Lishi said quickly: "Your Majesty, the Chief of Ceremonies has sent someone to take His Royal Highness King Yan into the palace this morning. He is waiting outside the palace at the moment."
Listening to Wang Lishi's words, Zhao Chongyuan's lips curved into a smile.
He can't wait to see the expression on Zhao Ding's face when he sees him later.
But even though he thought so in his heart, Zhao Chongyuan's face remained extremely calm, and he ordered Wang Lishi beside him: "Then summon him."
"Prince Xuan Jiu, King Yan, Zhao Ding, has an audience!"
The call was passed out one after another, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but look curiously outside the hall.
I heard what the eunuch who went to deliver the decree some time ago came back to say.
In Youzhou, under the rule of King Yan, the people were in dire straits, and the people were so poor that they were about to eat people. I don’t know what His Majesty will do with it.
But Yang Fu, Ye Liancheng and Zhou Shan, who were standing at the forefront of the civil servants, as well as Xu Tiande and Qian Song, who were standing at the top of the military generals, looked outside curiously, with different expressions in their eyes.
Outside the palace, Zhao Ding was wearing clothes and trotting after the eunuch.
As the eunuch ran, he kept urging: "Your Highness, King Yan, the people in front have begun to summon, and the official uniforms must be sorted out quickly!"
"I know, I know, why bother?"
Zhao Ding shouted impatiently.
He went to court for the first time in eight years since he traveled here.
God knows it's so early in the morning.
Get up before dawn.
Isn't this just torturing people?
Under the anxious urging of the eunuch, Zhao Ding finally tidied up his appearance and court clothes before entering the main hall, and followed the eunuch into the Jinluan Hall with his head lowered.
Even without looking up, he could feel it the moment he stepped into the Golden Palace.
It seemed that there were countless pairs of eyes looking at him.
That feeling is really uncomfortable.
Thinking that after all, he is Yingtian, his father Zhao Chongyuan's territory, not Zhao Ding's own Youzhou.
Zhao Ding was too lazy to confront them one by one.
After entering Jinluan Hall.
Zhao Ding didn't even look up, he just watched his toes walking step by step. After walking for nearly twenty steps in a row, he knelt down and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Weak minister, Zhao Ding, the king of Youzhou County, comes to see my emperor. Long live my emperor!"
"Get up."
Zhao Chongyuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly and shouted to Zhao Ding.
Um?
Why is this voice so familiar?
Hearing the voice coming from his ears, Zhao Ding raised his head subconsciously, but when he saw the figure sitting on the golden tower clearly, Zhao Ding was stunned.
Li Long?
Why is he here?
And what does this dragon robe mean? ? ?
He took another look at Wang Lishi standing next to Zhao Chongyuan.
The corners of Zhao Ding's mouth couldn't stop twitching.
Isn't this the housekeeper Li Long?
And now one is wearing a dragon robe, and the other is wearing a eunuch uniform, and he is still an extremely rare red-robed eunuch among Daqian...
In an instant, cold sweat broke out on Zhao Ding's forehead.
Did I cheat on my dad?
However, yesterday I went to Zuixian Tower to ask for debt from my own father?
And my dad knows what’s going on in Youzhou?
For a moment, Zhao Ding was completely confused.
The head that had just been raised fell down in an instant.
Damn it.
It's over.
At this moment, Zhao Ding could only have this thought in his heart.
His body couldn't help but kneel down.
Seeing Zhao Ding's appearance, Zhao Chongyuan suddenly showed a hint of pride on his lips.
little things?
Tried you?
I'm still chasing you for a mere five hundred thousand taels of silver?
Still recording?
It gives you the ability, right?
And looking at the strange look between Zhao Ding and Zhao Chongyuan, the father and son.
For a moment, all civil and military officials in the court were stunned.
What's going on?
After a while, Zhao Chongyuan asked with a smile: "Prince Yan, why don't you raise your head when you see me?"
Zhao Ding trembled and said quickly: "After all, I haven't seen my father for eight years. When I saw my father's face, I was immediately frightened by the majesty of my father, so I didn't dare to raise my head and face my father directly." .”
Damn it, it's over now.
Why is Li Long my father?
How does this work?
Aren’t those little 99s of mine? ?
When I think of the excerpts I gave to my father before, the miserable scenes described in them, and the things I did when Zhao Chongyuan went to Youzhou, especially the big fuss in Zuixian Tower yesterday, which almost destroyed all the people in Zuixian Tower. Smashed.
In an instant, Zhao Ding suddenly felt that his head was no longer on his neck.
God wants to kill me!
The surrounding ministers looked even more weird after hearing Zhao Ding's words.
What is going on?
It seems nothing like the scene when father and son meet.
After all, we haven’t seen each other for eight years.
Even if the royal family relationship has always been weak, it shouldn't be like this.
Especially why did King Yan flatter him for no reason?
What are you picturing?
Zhao Chongyuan said with a smile: "Get up."
"I don't dare!"
Zhao Ding still lowered his head.
At this time, the feeling of mourning in my heart was greater than the feeling of death.
If I had known that I was Li Long, he wouldn't have gone to Zuixian Tower to make a fuss yesterday.
Isn't it just five hundred thousand taels of silver?
Just think of spending money to eliminate disasters.
But now he has completely offended his father.
"Why don't you dare? You have made great achievements in governing Youzhou in the past eight years. I should thank you."
Speaking of the last few words, Zhao Chongyuan almost gritted his teeth!
