Everyone's eyes glanced at Fu Yanci's position.
When they saw that there was no one there, their pupils trembled. Is the general of the country deserting? ?
Outside the palace, the servant of the General's Mansion held a letter in his hand and was kneeling in front of the palace anxiously, waiting for the call.
He could have arrived at the palace before the morning court, but something unexpected happened on the way. By the time he arrived at the palace, the morning court had already begun, so he had to kneel in front of the palace and wait.
"Oh, General Zhenguo is really so majestic! He usually ignores people, but now he doesn't even dare to come to the morning court?!"
"Does he still have classmates like us in his eyes? Does he still have His Majesty??"
Although Fu Yanci held a high position, he never formed cliques with others for personal gain. Many ministers who wanted to curry favor with him were rejected. Those ministers who lost face inevitably felt resentful towards Fu Yanci.
Now that I had the opportunity, I naturally had to give Fu Yanci eye drops in front of the emperor.
The boy outside the palace was shocked when he heard what the man said, and once again prayed to the guards outside the palace to go in and pass the news so that he could present the letter of leave to His Majesty.
The guard hesitated for a moment, and then walked in despite the pressure after thinking that the boy was from the Zhenguo General's house.
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask for an audience with the young man from the Zhenguo General's Mansion."
The emperor's tone was neither salty nor cool: "Let him come in."
The servant hurriedly walked in with his leave letter and bowed his head, and knelt down in the main hall with a plop.
"Your Majesty, this is the leave letter that the general asked the villain to submit!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the father-in-law behind the emperor hurriedly came down and took the leave letter from the boy's hand, and then handed it to the emperor.
The emperor opened the letter asking for leave and became enlightened after seeing the content above.
"It turns out that General Zhenguo received news of the outbreak of plague in Jiangnan last night and rushed to Jiangnan overnight. In this case, we have to send someone else to escort the medicine."
After learning the truth, the emperor did not blame Fu Yanci and was planning to expose the matter. However, there were always people who were eager to express themselves in front of the third prince and found fault with him.
"Your Majesty! The general of Zhenguo left the capital without permission without an edict. He is so cruel! Today he left the capital for Jiangnan without permission, but what about next time? Will he dare to go beyond Your Majesty and mobilize military power without permission next time?"
When the man came up, he labeled Fu Yanci as someone who despised the imperial power and had no laws. He was so proud of himself for catching General Zhenguo's pigtails that he didn't notice the looks from the people around him.
The prime minister frowned and looked at the man, and said in a deep voice: "Yushi, what do you mean by this? The general of Zhenguo obviously cares about the people and rushed to Jiangnan as soon as he got the news. How come he has become impure in your behavior?" , with ulterior motives?"
The Prime Minister is, among other things, absolutely loyal to the court and the emperor.
Now that he heard that Fu Yanci was wearing small shoes, he naturally would not ignore it.
First, because Fu Yanci was loyal to Chao Gang and was a great contributor to the Beiming Kingdom. Second, Fu Yanci and he were the father-in-law. As the father-in-law, the prime minister would naturally not let others impeach his son-in-law.
As soon as the prime minister said this, the others also looked at the censor who stabbed Fu Yanci in the back with disapproval.
The censor, who was eager to show off in front of the third prince, suddenly became the target of public criticism.
The third prince lowered his eyes to hide the darkness in his eyes, and cursed in his heart: Idiot!
"I, I didn't mean that, I just, just..."
The censor wanted to defend himself, but his description became darker and darker.
"Since the censor doesn't mean this, he must also want to contribute to the people of Jiangnan, right? Your Majesty, in accordance with your opinion, why not appoint the censor as the imperial envoy this time, responsible for escorting medicine to Jiangnan?"
The prime minister snorted coldly at the censor, and then raised his hand to propose.
The emperor glanced at the censor lightly and said in a deep voice: "Since the censor has recommended himself, he will pass on my decree and appoint the censor as an imperial envoy. He will immediately set off to the south of the Yangtze River to escort the goods. If there is the slightest mistake, I will not be lenient!"
Censor:?
Self-recommendation?
What the hell? ?
Once the imperial edict was issued, there was no reason to take it back, so the censor had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept the imperial edict.
After the morning court, the third prince returned to the mansion with a frown on his face. Under Jiang Jingran's questioning, the third prince had no choice but to tell Jiang Jingran exactly what happened in the morning court.
"Confused!"
After Jiang Jingran learned the ins and outs of the matter, he slammed the table with a furious look on his face.
"Father is really confused! Fu Yanci is his son-in-law, isn't His Highness the same? How could he target His Highness because of Fu Yanci?!"
The third prince's eyes flashed slightly, then he grabbed Jiang Jingran's hand and coaxed softly: "Ran'er, don't be angry. My father-in-law has his own reasons for doing this. It's only my fault that I don't have the ability to catch my father-in-law's eyes. My father-in-law said to Zhen Zhen. The general of the country should do the same."
"Your Highness! I won't allow you to belittle yourself like this! My father is an old fool. I'm going to ask him to reason!"
Jiang Jingran left these words and sent someone to prepare a carriage and go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but the third prince did not stop him.
He had sent people to win over the Prime Minister more than once in private. He originally thought that as long as he married the Prime Minister's daughter, the Prime Minister would naturally stand on a united front with him. Unfortunately, he was wrong.
The pedantic Prime Minister didn't know whether he was really stupid or pretending to be stupid. No matter who he sent to find out what the Prime Minister was saying, he would never let go.
Neither the prince's side nor the third prince's side, the prime minister is only loyal to the emperor.
The third prince repeatedly hit the wall, so he had no choice but to turn to Jiang Jingran and ask her to be a lobbyist.
Three quarters of an hour later, the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The Prime Minister and Madam Hong were very happy about Jiang Jingran's arrival. Madam Hong immediately ran to Zhangluo's kitchen to make a sumptuous lunch.
While Mrs. Hong went to the kitchen, Jiang Jingran kicked all the servants out, leaving only her and the prime minister and her daughter in the guest room.
The smile on the Prime Minister's face gradually disappeared when he saw this.
Before he could speak, Jiang Jingran asked directly: "Father, why did you defend Fu Yanci against His Highness when you went to court today? Fu Yanci is your son-in-law, isn't His Highness the same?"
The Prime Minister was stunned. He didn't expect Jiang Jingran to mention this matter. He upheld his integrity and was not afraid of the shadow, and said calmly: "I am not defending anyone, nor am I targeting anyone. Ran'er, what happened in the court, you are a woman." Just don’t interfere.”
Jiang Jingran stood up and came to the prime minister: "Father, now that the prince cannot protect himself, who should you turn to? Do you want your daughter to teach you?"
The Prime Minister's face suddenly darkened: "Asshole! If someone with a heart listens to such words, you won't be able to chop off two of your heads!"
"Father! What my daughter said is true. Now that the crown prince is gone, the position of crown prince will fall into the hands of others sooner or later. Your Highness's mother-in-law is Concubine Xuan. Who do you think is most likely to become the next crown prince after the crown prince is deposed?"
"Although the prime minister is a first-class official, no matter how noble he is, can he be as noble as the abbot?"
"As long as my father supports His Highness to ascend to the throne, my daughter will become the queen of one person and more than ten thousand people. We at the Prime Minister's Palace will be the true relatives of the emperor!"
"It's already this time, why is dad still hesitating?"
