Zhao Shangshu and Murong Sheng were on good terms, and when investigating corruption, they could not go beyond the Ministry of Household Affairs. After all, the Ministry of Household Affairs was in charge of the world's money and food, and there were countless rice bugs in this Ministry of Household Affairs alone.
In order to hinder the progress of his investigation, some information from the Minister of Household Affairs was delayed and withheld. Isn't this intentional?
Today, Murong Huai brought this matter directly to the public to see how he would interfere with it.
When the Minister of Hubu heard this, he immediately broke out in a sweat. When the emperor heard this, he looked directly at the Minister of Hubu:
"Zhao Zhen, this trip was just for hunting and relaxing. I don't want to talk too much about state affairs, but the corruption case is not a trivial matter. Since I have handed over this matter to the two princes, you should treat it equally. You will go back tomorrow. Go to Beijing and organize the documents carefully. Make two copies. I will check them when I get back. The same goes for all the ministries. Cooperate with the fifth prince and the seventh prince in investigating the case. There must be no mistakes. I said that in three months, there will be no mistakes. See results.”
The Minister of Hubu and several others came forward one after another after hearing this.
"I respectfully obey His Majesty's will."
Murong Huai's move was so playful, didn't he mean to file a complaint?
"Okay, let's not talk about state affairs tonight. If you have anything to do, we can talk about it tomorrow. Let's continue."
Following the Holy Emperor's order, the ministers returned to their seats, and the singing and dancing continued.
The emperor looked at Su Yun and directly ordered some rewards and praised him a few words.
Murong Huai didn't think it was enough, so he directly asked his father:
"Father, after the hunting is over, it will be my mother's birthday. In previous years, she didn't like to make arrangements. She only got together with a few ladies. This year, I thought, my mother was frightened and her health was not good, so why not give it to her? She should organize a good party and add some joy. When the time comes, I would like to invite Boss Su to the palace and arrange a birthday banquet for the mother-in-law. How about inviting all the ladies and daughters to the palace to have a fun together?"
This year is Concubine Chen's thirty-fifth birthday. Among the concubines, she has a high status, is favored, and is still relatively young.
Moreover, she didn't know what method she used to keep the Holy Lord paying attention to her and pampering her.
Murong Huai is now being admired by the emperor, so these small requests he made are naturally easy to talk about.
Moreover, Concubine Chen was particularly aggrieved when she encountered the poisoning incident, so she should be given some entertainment.
"Well, your suggestion is good and feasible. Let's do this. I'll ask Boss Su if he is willing. I'm sure."
Murong Huai immediately looked at Su Yun:
"Boss Su, how about it? Can you give me a favor?"
Su Yun would be frightened to death by saying this. You, a prince, said this in front of the emperor. You didn't mean to offend him. I don't know how much dignity you thought he had.
"His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince is serious. It is an honor for ordinary people to organize the birthday banquet for the noble concubine."
"Okay, you mean you agreed, right? That's what you said."
Murong Huai smiled heartily, picked up a glass of wine to toast him, and drank it all in one gulp.
At this moment, His Highness the Seventh Prince's approachable and unassuming image was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Everyone was a little more kind to him, and they all felt that the seventh prince was the most down-to-earth among the princes.
The banquet continued. Su Wan felt that tonight was quite interesting. Seeing the fourth brother busy in front of the Holy Master, everything went smoothly.
She was really happy. She always felt that her fourth brother was a fool. In fact, when it came to the things she liked and cared about, he was very careful and thorough, so that no one who ate the food could find fault.
While the emperor was drinking, he suddenly noticed Jiang Yu next to Duke Jiang Guo, and he was surprised.
"Hiss, Duke Jiang, is this your son, Prince Jiang?"
Suddenly being mentioned, Jiang Guogong and Jiang Yu immediately put down everything they were doing and faced upwards.
"Back to the emperor, it's Quanzi."
The emperor rarely saw Jiang Yu without a mask, but he had seen him before. Knowing that he had a good appearance, he wore it because he said he didn't like to be the center of attention, so he didn't take it seriously.
He took it off today. It was the first time he appeared in front of people, which was quite surprising.
"I'm curious today, why doesn't Prince Jiang wear a mask?"
Just in time, the question came to the point. Jiang Yu was still worried about how to speak. Since you took the initiative to ask me, I will follow suit.
"When I return to the emperor, I don't wear a mask because I have something important to ask you for today."
Jiang Yu stood up directly and gave a serious answer.
Jiang Guogong glanced at his posture and felt a little panicked for some reason.
What do you want to do, kid?
"Oh~ What is it that makes you pay so much attention to it? Let me tell you."
The emperor had no idea that he had been tricked.
Only Su Wan knew what he was going to do and say next.
She was also a little panicked and nervous. After all, there were so many people and she might become the center of attention soon.
Even if she is not afraid, she is also panicked.
Jiang Yu walked out of his seat. Jiang Guogong pulled him and asked in a low voice:
"What do you want to do?"
"You'll find out soon." Jiang Yu gave him a meaningful smile.
Jiang Guogong really has nothing to do with him. If you can't guess what he wants to do now, then he is not his father.
Jiang Guogong closed his eyes helplessly, thinking forget it and let the storm come more violently.
Ever since he was a child, this kid had never gotten into trouble for him, just this time.
Jiang Yu walked to the center, lifted the corner of his robe and knelt down.
The singing and dancing stopped smoothly, and the emperor sat at the top, looking at him with interest, wondering what he wanted to ask him for.
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask your Majesty to grant me a marriage."
(The crown prince is also considered a minister of the emperor and can call himself a minister.)
When the emperor heard this, he raised his eyebrows:
"Oh, marriage, which daughter do you like?" The tone was quite relaxed.
"Your Majesty, I would like to marry Princess Xuanle of Shilang Su's Mansion. I would like to ask Your Majesty to grant me a marriage. I hope Your Majesty will grant me your permission."
Jiang Yu said bluntly, and as soon as he said this, the scene became silent in a tacit understanding.
Everyone took a breath, and the emperor's originally smiling face turned serious in an instant.
In addition, some people also had their own thoughts. Murong Sheng folded the cup in his hand and quietly watched the emperor's expression.
The same goes for Gu Yue, who wants to know how the emperor will deal with it.
Once this marriage is granted, the Su family will belong to Murong Huai's side, which is not a good thing for them.
Prince Jiang had just made a public appearance and was admired by many noble ladies. His request to marry Princess Xuanle directly poured out the flames of many people.
Ordinary noble girls would complain, but she was Princess Xuanle, whose status, status and appearance were not as good as hers, and they could only feel envious and secretly bitter.
The emperor didn't speak for a long time, and the queen was also beating Xiao Jiujiu.
She is also keeping an eye on Princess Xuanle. It doesn't matter which prince she marries, as long as it's not her son, it won't be a good thing for her.
