After Chu Chengyao learned the news, he first went to Cuiwei Palace to persuade Concubine Rou, who was crying and crying out for grievances.
After thinking for a while, he found the emperor and interceded for Concubine Rou.
Before he could say a word, the emperor with a gloomy face overturned the tea cup and splashed tea stains all over his clothes.
When the prince came, he saw Chu Chengyao kneeling in front of the screen as soon as he entered the palace. The prince stood beside Chu Chengyao, glanced sideways at Chu Chengyao, and then looked at the emperor on the dragon throne through the screen, respectfully and crisply. Say hello.
After getting the news, Chu Chengye also found a reason and came to meet him. He didn't see the slightest humiliation on Chu Chengyao's calm face, and he couldn't help but lose two points of interest in his heart.
Hearing the peaceful conversation inside the screen, Chu Chengyao, who looked as usual, clenched his hands into fists hidden in his wide sleeves, keeping this moment in his mind.
When Chu Chengping was urged to come by Ming Fei, Chu Chengyao had already knelt for two hours listening to the words of fatherly kindness and sonly filial piety in the palace.
After Chu Chengping saluted with several people, unlike the prince and Chu Chengye, he turned a blind eye to Chu Chengyao who was kneeling outside the screen, and instead took the initiative to ask about it.
The emperor glanced at the screen, and the smile on his face faded:
"Thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness. Concubine Rou is just copying Buddhist scriptures for your grandmother to fulfill her filial piety, so he came here to plead for mercy without any reason."
Chu Chengping smiled innocently: "Father, it is understandable that Concubine Rou is filial to her grandmother, but the second emperor brother is also filial to Concubine Rou. The sage said that filial piety comes first, and the second emperor brother indulged the displeasure of father. , Father has already punished me, so why not forgive him for the sake of his filial piety."
Chu Chengye: "What the fourth brother said makes no sense. The second emperor's plea for mercy is not only to prevent Concubine Rou from fulfilling her filial piety to the imperial grandmother, but also to dissatisfy the father's act of asking Concubine Rou to fulfill her filial piety. How can it be regarded as filial piety? ?”
The prince rarely agreed with what Chu Chengye said:
"The third brother's words are reasonable. The fourth brother cannot disrespect his father just because he has a close relationship with the second brother."
A disrespectful hat came over him. Chu Chengping quickly opened his clothes and knelt down to apologize:
"Father, I am not disrespecting you, nor am I Dudu and the second emperor brother. I just heard about what happened last night and thought about what would happen to me if my mother and concubine were punished for investigating the father's whereabouts."
Emperor: "What will you do?"
Chu Chengping: "As for myself and others, I will make the same choice as the second emperor brother. My mother and concubine did something wrong, and my father and I deserve the punishment. But as a human son, how can I ignore it? Before the second emperor brother came, He must have known the consequences of asking for mercy, but he still came. It is the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm, but filial piety is also an instinct."
"In my opinion, the innocent heart of the second emperor brother is very valuable. Because of this, when I heard that the second emperor brother had been kneeling for a long time, he shamelessly came to intercede for the second emperor brother. My father also knew that my son was incompetent, so the court Nothing is done well. I am definitely not here to make friends with the second emperor brother. I am just following my heart. If my father is angry, I will accept my punishment."
Chu Chengping spoke frankly and frankly. After speaking, he leaned down with his hands on the ground, looking like he was just letting himself be dealt with.
The emperor stared at Chu Chengping's back for a long time. Seeing that there was no trace of panic in him, he turned and glanced at the screen:
"Knowing that you are useless, you still have the nerve to come here to intercede for others. You still don't have a woman in your house, and your mother-in-law is still worried about your marriage. You are free."
Chu Chengping straightened up and smiled heartlessly:
"When the world is peaceful and peaceful under the rule of my father, my sons and ministers do not need to worry."
