In the soothing and sweet voice, Shu Liang raised his eyebrows. He originally thought that the kind-hearted and cruel character like Zhennan King was already difficult enough to deal with.
But he never thought that someone who was better than his predecessor would appear.
With his eyesight, he could see that on the surface, the King of Zhennan acted like an elder brother and a father, but in fact, he only wished that the two brothers, King Guangtong and King Yangzong, would be unlucky.
Therefore, Shu Liangcai deliberately downplayed the matter.
But even so, the prince was still able to grasp the key point immediately.
Since the emperor gave him the medicine, it shows that Shu Liang is still trusted in front of the emperor.
The emperor would definitely be dissatisfied if Dajuan was beaten for no reason.
However, since there was no major incident, it was not convenient for the emperor to reprimand him directly, so he had to reduce the major incident to a minor one.
The fat King Zhennan also reacted, raised his cup and said.
"Yes, yes, I have offended Eunuch Shu after all. Otherwise, how could a mere servant be able to serve His Majesty? It seems that Eunuch-in-law is of great importance in front of Your Majesty."
Shu Liang raised a glass to meet him, but his face was modest and he said.
"Your Majesty is overly praised. I am just doing things for your Majesty and being more dedicated."
Although his words were modest, he did not deny the fact that he was favored in front of the emperor.
As a result, the King of Zhennan knew what was going on and stopped mentioning the matter. Instead, he talked about anecdotes about the capital and the scenery of his hometown.
After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere gradually became warmer, King Zhennan said seemingly casually.
"I'm not afraid of my father-in-law's jokes when I say it. Although I am a county prince, it is very difficult to do it. It is really not as good as my father-in-law being in charge of the East Factory in the capital, so majestic and carefree."
Shu Liang was a little drunk, but when he heard this, his heart moved, and the spiritual platform became a little clearer, waving his hands and saying.
"What are you talking about, Your Majesty? Our family is just a humble and disabled person. Your Majesty is a noble person. How can we compare with our family?"
But after all, he was also a sensible person. After a few words of humility, he continued what King Zhennan had said.
"Speaking of which, the prince is now the eldest son of the Min Palace. The old prince is very old. It is said that he has handed over all the affairs of the Min Palace to the prince. The prince is at the right time, so why is it difficult to talk about it?"
The fat prince put down his cup and sighed, but said nothing.
On the other hand, the prince next to him spoke a little indignantly.
"Although as a junior, I shouldn't talk about the affairs of my elders without permission, but I think Eunuch Shu knows a little about these things. My two uncles are really ridiculously tight. They..."
"Yinxi!"
Before he finished speaking, a shouting sound rang out. Shu Liang looked over and saw that the face of King Zhennan was quite ugly. His fat face was solemn and a little more majestic, and he softly scolded the prince.
"Do you still know that you should not talk about the affairs of your elders without permission? How many times have I taught you to read with peace of mind, don't ask about things outside the window, and turn a deaf ear to what I say?"
Obviously, although the King of Zhennan smiles every day outside, he is still very strict in the house.
As soon as he got angry, the prince immediately lowered his head and admitted his mistake, saying.
"Father, please calm down. It was your son who made a mistake. He will receive his punishment when he returns home."
King Zhennan snorted softly, and the majesty on his face quickly disappeared, and he returned to his usual peace. With a bit of helplessness, he bowed his hands towards Shu Liang.
"I have failed to teach you the right way, and I am making my father-in-law laugh."
Shu Liang watched the performance of the father and son quietly, and realized that it was his turn to play, so he did not ruin the show and just went with the flow.
"The prince is too harsh. The prince also cares about his father and is filial. Why should he be so heavy-handed?"
As he said this, he also asked casually.
"Logically speaking, our family shouldn't have anything to do with this matter. However, there are so many clans in the capital now, and it's always bad to cause trouble. The prince just said that those two are ridiculous. Is it possible that besides the one at the city gate? Something happened, what trouble happened again?"
King Zhennan opened his mouth, struggling a bit with his expression. After hesitating for a moment, Fang let out a long sigh and said.
"Some old things have not tainted my father-in-law's ears. Now I just hope that those two bastards can look at the emperor and be at peace."
Seeing King Zhennan's unwillingness to speak, Shu Liang hesitated for a moment, but still didn't ask again.
If he wanted to say something, he would naturally say it. His current attitude was probably because he was worried about his identity and could not explain clearly, and he just wanted to lure Shu Liang to investigate.
After all, in front of outsiders, the King of Zhennan has always behaved like a benevolent elder brother.
However, how could he be sure that he would really check it out?
With this doubt, Shu Liang spoke.
"Since it is an old matter, it has been a long time since I thought about it. Since it is not convenient for the prince to talk about it, we will not ask about it."
King Zhennan didn't speak, but Prince Wang, who had been silent for a long time, couldn't help but speak again.
"Father, now that things have come to this, why do you need to cover up for them two anymore? Now all the clan ministers are in the capital. If this matter really gets serious, it will damage the royal family's face, and it may involve the entire Min Palace. ah!"
"Yinqi, don't talk nonsense!"
The Fat Prince's face darkened again, but this time, he was not as determined as before.
Although he knew clearly that they were doing it for him to see, Shu Liang couldn't help but frowned and asked.
"Your Majesty, please forgive our rudeness. It is not our family's responsibility to interfere with clan affairs. However, our family is in charge of the East Factory for the emperor. If someone wants to cause trouble at the emperor's feet, we will have to intervene. .”
With that said, Shu Liang turned to the prince Zhu Yinxi and said.
"The prince is a sensible person and knows the importance. There are many clans in the capital now, so we don't dare to cause any trouble. If the prince knows something hidden, you might as well speak up. Our family is all ears."
Zhu Yinzhen glanced at his father and saw that although the latter had a stern expression, he did not object again, Fang said.
"To be honest, Eunuch Shu, this matter is a family matter of Prince Min's Palace."
"I think my father-in-law also saw it at the city gate. My two uncles are quite prejudiced against my father."
"Over the years, because my grandfather has grown old, my father has been in charge of the affairs of the palace. Therefore, they blame my father for my grandfather's reduction in their clan's salary."
"Because of this matter, they did not hesitate to bring out grandpa's late concubine Su Shi to make a case, intending to confuse right and wrong, accuse my father and force my concubine to death, so as to take away the power of Prince Min's palace."
"My father took care of the brotherly relationship and was unwilling to get too fussy with them, but he never thought that they would push each other even further."
"Although they have only been in Beijing for a few days, they have already secretly visited many mansions."
"My father was deeply afraid that they would cause some trouble and hurt the royal family's face at this critical moment, but he also took into account the brotherhood and couldn't bear to do something to the two of them when the internal situation was unknown. That's why we are today. An act of hesitation.”
Shu Liang naturally knew about the household affairs of Prince Min's Mansion, and the Emperor himself told him.
It's just that the inside story is unknown.
After Zhu Yinxi finished speaking, he turned around and knelt down to King Zhennan and said.
"Father, my son understands that these words have offended my two uncles and are against my father's teachings. After returning home, my son will shut himself up and think about his mistakes. I beg my father not to get angry and harm himself."
The fat prince sighed, looked a little sad, and waved his hands.
"Get up, you are also filial."
As he spoke, he reluctantly smiled at Shu Liang and said.
"Eunuch Shu, this matter involves a lot, and the inside story is unknown. Children are talking nonsense, so please don't take it to heart."
However, Shu Liang shook his head and said.
"Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. Since this matter involves a lot of things, our family should be more concerned about it. Otherwise, as the prince said, if there is any real trouble, the royal family will be embarrassed in front of all the clans."
After a brief pause, Shu Liang narrowed his eyes and asked with a stern look in his eyes.
"The prince just said that the two princes visited many mansions in Beijing for a few days. I wonder which homes they were?"
