Holy Chrysostom!
Who dares to disobey?
With this order from the emperor, all the noise stopped abruptly, and everything was completely silent.
At this time, someone held torches and lit lanterns to drive away the darkness of the night.
By the light of the fire, Qi Xiao and Li Hongyu finally saw these people clearly.
Ah...what's going on?
Why is there such a big battle?
Could it be that there was some kind of coup happening?
Both boys were stunned by the scene in front of them!
After coming to their senses, they suddenly discovered that the person everyone was targeting was actually them.
Oops~~
I said, Your Majesty the Emperor, you just came here to watch the test firing, why did you bring the nine admirals over?
This will delay people's sleep.
Admiral of the Nine Gates:...
However, the next second, the admiral realized that something was wrong.
He felt more and more that the person standing on the small boat was the rumored prince, and the other one seemed to be Qi Yu's only son Qi Xiao.
Ancestor!
After confirming the identity of the 'criminal', Admiral Jiumen was frightened to the point of splitting his liver and gallbladder, and broke out in a cold sweat.
Just now, fortunately, I didn't give the order to shoot quickly, otherwise, my own death would not be enough to save him.
Yes, if you take care of the emperor's son, why don't you have your house confiscated and your family exterminated?
Little did he know that there was His Majesty's other half son on that boat, and he could not shoot either.
Let’s not talk about whether the eldest princess is a widow or not. If you really hurt him, it would be strange if Nanyang Qiyu didn’t rise up!
In fact, the emperor was also frightened.
After wiping off the cold sweat on his forehead, he forced himself to calm down and said, "Why are you two wandering around on the moat in the middle of the night instead of going to bed?"
The tone of these words was full of sternness, which made people's scalp numb.
At this moment, the unique domineering power of the superior one leaked out.
Even the prince Li Hongyu couldn't help but shudder when he heard this, and a sense of fear arose spontaneously.
Looking at Qi Xiao again, he was still as calm and calm as before, and he replied politely: "Your Majesty, the night is long and I have no intention of sleeping, so I invited His Highness to go boating in the rivers and lakes. Once you come, you can appreciate me. The Dafeng Palace is magnificent at night; secondly, it can cultivate your elegant sentiments."
Cough, spit!
Why are you better at bullshitting than your father?
Do you believe this?
Could it be that you feel that I can’t bear to deal with you?
Suppressing the anger in his heart, the emperor asked his son again: "Hongyu, come and tell me, why are you setting off cannons to disturb the people this late at night?"
Li Hongyu's mind was running at high speed at the moment, and he soon figured out a magnificent reason: "I would like to inform my father, this is what happened. Ever since our Donghai Navy was defeated by the Fusang traitor, I have been restless. , not satisfied with food, are always concerned about the coastal defense construction of our navy, and are always thinking about how to contribute a little to this end."
With a faint sigh, he continued: "As the prince of Dafeng, I naturally have to start from myself and become a role model for the world. So I invited Brother Qi, oh no, it was my classmate Qi and me. We jointly developed a practical warship to protect the country. We worked day and night and worked tirelessly, and finally achieved perfect completion today. Finally, because I couldn't bear the expectations in my heart, I thought about the current test launch."
Cough, spit!
Are you still my biological son?
It's only been a few days, and I've learned to be glib!
You obviously made a big mistake, but you still found a magnificent excuse to excuse it. Don't you blush at all?
However, in the eyes of outsiders, Li Hongyu really has a glorious image of caring about the country and the people and working hard.
Now, the only way is to deceive those people with foreign surnames who are watching.
Diaphragm should return to diaphragm, and things still have to be dealt with.
The emperor said nothing, but he made plans in his heart.
If this matter is such a big deal, it will definitely cause uproar in the city. If a relatively suitable explanation is not provided, there is a high possibility that vicious rumors similar to 'son kills father' will spread.
People's words are terrible and must be dealt with properly.
However, in such a short period of time, the emperor could not think of any good way.
In the end, he had no choice but to order that the prince and Qi Xiao be temporarily grounded, and other matters would be postponed to tomorrow at his discretion.
Well, that’s settled for now.
After the Holy Judgment, everyone followed the orders.
Just as they passed each other, Qi Xiao suddenly turned around and said, "Your Majesty, my sister is better at controlling gunboats than I am. If she enters the capital, she will definitely become even more famous..."
"Really? I'll wait and see!"
Hey~~that’s not right!
There is something in the words!
If you interpret it carefully, it is not difficult to find a threatening meaning in it. Haha, I bet this guy doesn’t want his sister to marry into the capital!
Even so, you don't need to play "Knocking the Mountain and Zhenhu", oh no, it should be said "Knocking the Mountain and Zhenlong".
The shocks come and go, but in the end, isn’t it a lie?
snort! !
The emperor glared at him angrily, then angrily threw up his sleeves and left.
…
Half an hour later, inside the Wenhua Hall.
The emperor sat upright on the main seat, frowning and sighing.
The Wenhua Hall is where the cabinet members vote on proposed policies. On weekdays, few outsiders come, let alone the emperor himself.
But today is different, the Holy Emperor came here without thinking.
There is no other reason than that I just want to be alone and quiet.
If it were moved to the harem, the queen would definitely rush over to plead for her son as soon as possible. In that case, she might lose her rhythm of doing things.
Is this difficult to handle?
Not difficult!
He just wanted to seize this opportunity to suppress the 'resistance' of those who had ideas.
The prince doesn't need to think too much. He will definitely be acquitted later. A tiger's poison cannot eat its own child. How can he be serious with his own son?
As for the rumors about the son killing his father, they must be crushed as soon as possible to protect the son's face.
Qi Xiao couldn't let it go so easily.
It is not difficult to see from his recent statement that he was very dissatisfied with his marriage, so he made such a big noise to shock.
Huh, if you don't fix him, how will he be able to do it when he grows up?
More importantly, he can also take this opportunity to beat his father Qi Yu. Even if he is pardoned loosely, he must be sincerely grateful to him.
However, there is a difficulty in this.
as follows:
If Qi Xiao is to be repaired, then he must be punished in name. If he is punished, the aura of the Qi family must be erased. If the aura is erased, Qi Xiaotong's benevolent marriage becomes somewhat untenable.
Yes, how can a family with a bad family tradition be worthy of a marriage from the emperor?
There is a logical contradiction!
The emperor thought hard for a long time, but couldn't figure out anything.
In desperation, there was another faint sigh.
