Chapter 647 Don’t be too sharp
After leaving the imperial study room, Liu Mingzhi's legs went weak and he hurriedly held on to the railing on the side.
Liu Mingzhi glanced at the imperial study behind him with lingering fear, looking a little surprised and uncertain, recalling everything in the imperial study.
The emperor's behavior and look were very different from before, especially the matter of reinstating punishment did not seem to be suddenly proposed when he told him about the mutual trade, as if he had already planned it.
Is it really like what my junior brother told me that the old foundation is no longer good and the pillars of the hall have to be replaced for the new foundation?
"Master Liu, Mr. Zhou has something to do and has been left behind by my father. I will send you to your mother's house and I will guide you there. This is also my father's wish!"
Hearing the prince's voice, Liu Mingzhi looked at the prince with a faint smile: "In that case, I owe you to Your Highness the prince!"
"Alas, what are you talking about? Master Liu, you are my companion, you should be in the same boat!"
"Yes, yes, His Highness said so!"
Liu Mingzhi watched Prince Qing and the Seventh Prince stiffen and smiled bitterly: "The palace is really full of calculations and struggles all the time."
A chair is placed in front of me, and my brothers are not even kissing each other!
"Master Liu, come with me!"
"Prince please come first!"
"Master Liu, there is something I don't understand. I wonder if Master Liu can explain it to me!"
Liu Mingzhi was stunned and smiled insincerely: "Your Highness, please speak, I will tell you everything I know!"
"My father sent me to supervise the border, why did I ask my second brother and seventh brother to go to Jingzhou Mansion and Shu respectively?"
Taking a peek at the prince, Liu Mingzhi was a little unsure whether the prince really didn't understand or pretended not to understand. He and his foreign ministers could understand what the prince just said in the study room. How could they, the calculating royal people, not understand it? The deep meaning?
Father, like son? Not quite.
"Your Highness, I have something I hope your Highness will consider!"
The prince looked at Liu Mingzhi calmly: "Please tell me, I will listen attentively!"
Liu Mingzhi thought deeply for a moment, thinking about how to express what he meant in the most concise words. After thinking for a long time, he finally came up with an idea.
"Since Your Highness has entered the East Palace, why bother with the gap? If you don't fight, you will fight!"
Liu Mingzhi's meaning is very clear and unambiguous. You are already the prince. As long as there is no big turmoil, you will definitely be the future ruler of the world. Why bother with your brother over some things?
If you don't argue and tolerate everything, your Majesty will feel that humility and kindness are the hallmarks of a wise king.
The prince pondered for a while and looked at Liu Mingzhi calmly and nodded: "I have been taught. As expected, my father asked me to ask Master Liu for more advice. It was not just casual. Master Liu is really a person with a lot of troubles in his heart!"
"Your Highness has given you too much praise. This is your duty!"
"How should I handle the corruption case in Beijing this time?"
"Well... follow the law, listen more and watch more, and listen more to the opinions of the officials of the Three Laws Department!"
The prince looked at Liu Mingzhi with some annoyance: "My father asked me to supervise the corruption case. What should I do if my father blames me if I fail to achieve results?"
Liu Mingzhi sighed secretly. It was strange that he agreed, but he was still fighting.
"Your Highness, the old foundation is still stable. It is not a good thing for the new foundation to stand out too much. It will make the old foundation feel useless. It is best not to do things that are counterproductive! The new foundation is here to prepare. Sooner or later, there is no need to rush the new foundation. For a moment! It’s not a good thing to show off your edge too much.”
After hearing the words, the prince pondered for a while and showed a hint of surprise. There was even a small amount of sweat on his forehead. He nodded heavily: "I understand. Thank you Lord Liu for your advice. I hope Lord Liu can enlighten me if I have any questions in the future!" "
Liu Mingzhi was startled for a moment and remembered the emperor's words. He would ask Liu Aiqing for advice in the future.
He sighed secretly in his heart. Is the emperor going to completely tie himself to the prince's chariot?
"This is the responsibility of the minister. Your Highness, if you don't understand anything, feel free to ask!"
"It's a deal!"
"It's a deal!"
"Look, the Queen Mother has arrived while we are talking. Let's give the announcement!"
"As it should be!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Shude Palace with curiosity. Although he had been here when he was delivering mahjong, he still lamented that the Queen was really like a mother to the world.
Simple and generous, ordinary and extraordinary everywhere.
A typical person does not value things, but takes pride in people.
Although Shude Palace is ordinary and simple, the master of the world lives here.
No matter how ordinary a house is, it is no longer ordinary.
Soon after, Qian Lu, the eunuch in charge of the queen, came out and looked at the prince respectfully: "Your Highness, Uncle Tongyuan, the queen has invited me!"
"Thank you, Manager Qian!"
"Sanjo!"
"Five loaves!"
"Get rich!"
Before they even approached the main hall, Liu Mingzhi and the two heard a few crisp female voices playing mahjong.
The prince shrugged helplessly and looked at Liu Mingzhi and laughed: "Ever since Mr. Liu sent novel items like mahjong, the harem has been much more harmonious. My father said more than once that Mr. Liu has helped him a lot!"
"I just acted on a whim. I didn't expect it to have such an unexpected effect. This is because of Your Majesty's great power!"
"My son Bai Yu meets his mother, she is a thousand years old!"
"See your concubine, concubine Yu, concubine Rong, concubine Rong, thousand years old, thousand years old, thousand years old!"
"Your Majesty Liu Mingzhi meets the Queen!"
"Meet the three noble concubines!"
"No gift!"
"Thank you, Queen Mother!"
"Thank you, Queen!"
"One!"
"I'm crazy. Sisters and sisters, please give us money! We don't accept credit for three taels of silver per person!"
"Concubine Yu, you're lucky. After five fights, you messed up three times!"
"The Queen went too far. My sister may be lucky today!"
"Sister Yufei, can you give me some money next time? My sister set off the firecrackers five times. This month's deposit is gone!"
"What a beautiful thought you have. Sister Rong Fei, His Majesty will give you a lot of rewards this month. Who among the sisters here is richer than you? Give it to me quickly!"
"All right!"
Concubine Rong reluctantly handed Concubine Yu a piece of silver.
Your concubine's expression was calm as she handed over a piece of silver. It could be seen that your concubine's character was that of a quiet and generous one.
"Master Liu, I was so obsessed that I forgot to give you a seat. You won't complain about my lack of etiquette, right?"
"The empress is joking. Your Highness has not even given me a seat. How can I dare to ask for a seat? Besides, it's good to stand for a while. You can stretch your muscles!"
"No wonder His Majesty is so holy to you, your mouth is so sweet!"
"Your Majesty, I'm overly flattering, I'm just telling the truth!"
"Qian Lu, why don't you move a chair for the prince and Mr. Liu to sit down?"
"Yes, old slave, come right now!"
Manager Qian asked the eunuch to bring chairs for the two of them to sit down, and then Liu Mingzhi was able to take a closer look at Shude Palace.
The queen, three concubines, seven or eight maids, and four or five eunuchs stood aside respectfully to serve.
Liu Mingzhi looked at the third princess sitting behind the bead curtain with her head embroidering in surprise, a little confused, why is this little girl here, what is the situation!
The third princess took a peek at Young Master Liu sitting on the chair and saw him staring at her and quickly lowered his head to look at the embroidery in his hand.
Liu Mingzhi clasped his chin. What the hell? If I read it right, the third princess looked shy just now?
