"It's nonsense. Merits will not be rewarded, and mistakes will not be punished. Where are the rules of the court and the majesty of the royal family? Don't say it anymore. What is yours is yours."
Wang Fugui was going through the process, and when the emperor gave him a reward, he had to show humility and show his integrity.
The emperor is also following the procedures to show his emperor's magnanimity.
Everyone is familiar with each other. After the process is completed, it’s time to talk about rewards.
At this time, a person stood up and said,
"Your Majesty, I propose to reward the Sixth Prince with gold and silver, so that he can be promoted to the Minister of Household Affairs. Currently, there is only one Left Assistant Minister in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and there is still a shortage of a Right Assistant Minister. I think it is best to give it to His Highness the Sixth Prince.
The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of the court's money and food, which is the lifeline. His Highness is the prince and will not do anything that will damage the dignity of the court, so it is most appropriate to use him. "
Because the prince represents the royal family, if he is greedy, the entire royal family will be humiliated. Everyone knows this truth.
"In addition, I propose that the queen can adopt Princess An as her adopted daughter and canonize her as a princess..."
"Asshole!"
Before Ge Shizhong could finish speaking, the emperor interrupted with a cold shout.
The minister raised his head in confusion, looked at the emperor, and then at the sixth prince, who saw that the eyes of the sixth prince looking at him were spitting fire.
The emperor said coldly,
"Who doesn't know that Lao Liu and Princess Nian'an are in love with each other, and I have been waiting to grant them a marriage. You still want to make a princess? How can a prince marry a princess since ancient times?"
Na was so frightened that he was covered in cold sweat, and he quickly bowed and said,
"This is because I did not think carefully. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"Forget it, I also have good intentions, and those who don't know are not guilty."
After the emperor finished speaking, he discussed with the ministers and finally decided to reward the Sixth Prince and Princess Nian'an with gold and silver, but not give Wang Fugui the position of Minister of Household Affairs.
Wang Fugui was a little disappointed, but he also understood in his heart that the emperor was worried that he would have too much power and influence the prince.
The emperor still didn't trust him, let alone use him to check the prince.
Take it step by step, don't rush.
Wang Fugui thought so.
After the dynasty was dismissed, Wang Fugui and the Minister of Rites went to the Ministry of Rites together. Suddenly, a shout came from behind him,
"Sixth brother, wait a moment."
Looking back, he saw the prince and the third prince walking towards him quickly.
"Meet the Crown Prince, and meet the Third Emperor Brother."
The prince is the second eldest son, and the third prince has the best relationship with him. He is inseparable and is a complete loser.
The eldest son is in charge of the Royal Guards of the Imperial City. The prince is in charge of the palace guards. He also has civil servants in the court and handles government affairs with the cabinet. The third son is a loser. The fourth son serves in the imperial guards outside the capital. The fifth son is a loser who does nothing all day long. He knew how to do carpentry but couldn't hear what was going on outside the window. The seventh child was still young.
The prince smiled and said,
"Sixth brother, are you okay with your injuries?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. My brother only has some superficial injuries. He is fine now."
"Hey, tell me, why did you rush so close yesterday? Those monster assassins are all so strong. I'm worried about my brother to death."
The prince's eyes were full of worry and reproach.
Wang Fugui smiled and said,
"In desperation, I didn't think too much. If I don't come, my father will be in danger."
"That's right. Fortunately, you saved my father yesterday. What would happen in this world if my father had done something bad?"
The prince sighed.
Now that the old man is dead, doesn’t the world belong to you? Before I succeeded in seizing the legitimate son, the old man could not die. This is why I saved him.
Wang Fugui sneered in his heart, but on the surface he was very respectful and said,
"It's all for the country, the country, the country. The prince brother works all day long, isn't it also for the sake of our family? I don't have the talent of the prince brother, so I am just reckless."
"Hahaha, Sixth Brother, please don't say that. You are highly skilled in martial arts and talented. You have also been doing well in the Household Department in the past six months. Brother Wei, as I said, I am very relieved to have you in the Household Department.
Are you going to write an official letter to Palace Master Han of the Yin Yang Sect? The wording must be polite, and all rewards must be written down to show my royal magnanimity.
You have a good relationship with Hall Master Han. If you take action, I believe that I will be able to invite Hall Master Han to come. When the time comes, my brothers will also go to listen to Hall Master Han’s lectures. "
The prince smiled warmly and heartily, like an elder brother who loves his younger brother.
"I may not be able to invite you. My brother and Palace Master Han are just casual acquaintances. They don't have a deep connection. It's unclear whether things will work out. If I don't come, my brother will have to apologize to my father."
"With you taking action, we will definitely succeed."
The prince smiled and said,
"Sixth brother, come to the East Palace in the evening. You and I will gather together. Your sister-in-law often says that the third and fourth brothers often come to visit, but you, the sixth brother, have never been here. If you tell me, others still don't. I thought you and I were not getting along as brothers."
"No, second brother, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Nian'an has made dumplings at home and is waiting for me to come home for dinner."
Wang Fugui declined the prince's invitation.
The prince was not angry at all and smiled.
"Oh, that's right. I forgot that the sixth brother has a beautiful wife at home. Princess Nian'an is heroic, has extraordinary appearance, and has a noble status. Sixth brother, please don't let her down. You and I will always be together. Can we get together? You can go home for dinner today."
"Well, thank you for your understanding, second brother. I will go to the Ministry of Etiquette first."
Wang Fugui held his hands, turned and walked towards the palace gate.
"Prince, I take my leave."
The Minister of Rites followed quickly.
Watching their departing figures, the prince stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes deep.
The Third Prince's Qi Dao,
"Hmph, you don't know what's good or bad, you're shameless, and he dares to refuse the second brother's invitation!"
"Oh, third brother, don't say that."
The prince waved his hand and said with a smile,
"Maybe the sixth brother just doesn't have any ambitions, doesn't want to form a clique, and doesn't want to get too close to me.
During the six months he spent at the Ministry of Household Affairs, he spent all day sleeping and joking instead of doing his job. Maybe he really just wanted to be an idle prince. There was no threat to such a person. "
"But didn't my father once say that he is the smartest among our brothers?"
Wang Fugui really didn't want to accept his invitation, and he didn't even want to say a word to him. He just wanted to maintain a respectful relationship with him.
How could he not know what the prince was thinking when he invited him? He must be trying to win over him.
In the past, he was a dissolute prince, very inconspicuous, and the prince didn't even bother to talk to him. But now, he serves in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and he has the merit of rescuing others. He is a popular man in the eyes of his father and the powerful in the world. He also had contacts with others and had some effect. Of course the prince wanted to draw him into his camp.
It's really ridiculous. None of the current princes can pose a threat to the prince's status. He actually wants to form a clique for personal gain. If he were the emperor, wouldn't he be suspicious of him?
Every prince is a competitor, and he actually draws his opponents to his side.
Wang Fugui's rejection of his invitation had nothing to do with seizing anything from the heir. He simply wanted to stay away from this fool, lest he be unlucky and be the victim of disaster.
Some people died, but not completely...
