As more and more officials were involved, Chu Chengye became more and more happy when he looked at the list of names reported every day.
Seeing this, the waiter proposed to charter a boat to make him happy. Chu Chengye, who had never liked this idea, agreed for the first time.
Chu Chengye stayed on the boat at midnight for three consecutive days and drank happily.
Not only did the prince and the queen, who were getting angry, gritted their back molars in anger, but even the emperor heard the news:
"The prince has no sense of propriety, and his confidants are greedy. The third child happily drinks wine when his brother is in trouble! This is my good son!"
Zheng Cheng: "Your Majesty, calm down. Your Highness is a proud man of heaven. He seldom faces adversity, so he doesn't worry too much. Your Third Highness is young and vigorous. Perhaps you just want to understand and relieve your fatigue. Don't be angry."
When the emperor heard this, he became even more angry:
"Chengye has a lot of brains, but no city government. The reason why the prince is successful is because of my love and support for him! He is ungrateful, and instead allows his confidants to embezzle salt taxes! It is really abominable! The reason why Chengyao Shengping was involved this time , I also want to remind the two of them that there are many princes, but there is only one high position!"
When Zheng Cheng heard this, he did not answer the question. The emperor thought for a moment and then said:
"The prince is indeed too obedient. Chengye only knows how to fight with open fire and cannot give him a long memory. In terms of scheming, Chengyao has to be the one. Six years ago, he was suppressed to the point where he couldn't recover. Under such circumstances, he also firmly controlled the Ministry of Punishment. , which shows that he has a good mind. In recent years, he has been praised for lowering his posture, and many officials from the DPRK and the Central Government also said that he deserves to be a virtuous person."
Zheng Cheng: "This old servant has also heard of His Highness's virtuous reputation. If Prince Qin hadn't suddenly made a move and used the hands of General Gu and Taifu Lin to kill people, His Highness would have been far better than what he is today."
Emperor: "If I hadn't accidentally sent the hidden guards to investigate, I wouldn't have known that he was so secretive. After all, the number of hidden guards was limited. Seeing that he was suppressed, we withdrew the manpower. Now, send him again, I want to know about him. whereabouts."
Zheng Cheng took the order and retreated. The emperor leaned back in his chair with a tired face, closed his eyes and murmured:
"This world belongs to me. If I don't give it to you, no one can take it away."
When the news reached Concubine Xian's ears, Concubine Xian was leaning leisurely on the couch, letting the palace maid squeeze her legs, looking drowsy.
After listening to what his confidant said, he suddenly lost all sleepiness, stood up and said angrily:
"Your Highness has been staying on the boat for three consecutive days? Where is he now? Let him come to see me!"
"Your Highness... Your Highness had a hangover last night. He is still on the boat and has not yet returned home..."
Concubine Xian felt heartbroken and panicked. She slammed the table angrily and accidentally broke the nail of her little finger. She frowned in pain and screamed softly in pain.
Glancing at the blood spreading between her fingernails, Concubine Xian suppressed her anger and said:
"You take my jade token out of the palace, take His Highness back to the palace to sober up, and when he sobers up, come into the palace to see me."
"yes."
"His Highness doesn't like to go to this kind of place. Go and find out who is inciting him. If the people in the house don't report back to me, they will be beaten to death on the spot! The woman who accompanied His Highness in the boat in the past few days has also been dealt with. She did it Be clean and don't ruin His Highness's reputation."
The confidant took the jade token and hurried out of the room. The waiting maids rushed forward to bandage Concubine Xian's hands.
Concubine Xian was furious and cursed through gritted teeth:
"What a bastard!"
When the maid who was bandaging saw that her master was angry, she was frightened. When she heard the scolding, she thought she had hurt Concubine Xian. She was so frightened that she immediately took two steps back and knelt down to beg for mercy.
