The emperor's eyes became more and more gloomy. He originally thought that by forcing him in this way and making him contradict him a few words when he was angry, he could get angry and vent his anger.
But he was like a sullen gourd, blindly responding to the situation, which made the emperor feel like he had punched the cotton inside, and he was so angry that he couldn't vent his anger, which made the emperor even more aggrieved.
I thought that since he was in a high position, I deliberately snubbed him and reduced the power in his hands, so that he could get away with it. However, I didn't know that he pretended to be fine and took the princess out of the palace to play.
If you can be so indifferent, it is naturally a good thing and proves that the threat does not exist.
But he knew it was absolutely impossible.
The more forbearing he is, the deeper his plan becomes. But if he refuses to fight back or retaliates, how can he convince the ministers that the prince has wolfish ambitions? He pretends to be more innocent than a rabbit.
"You all go out." The emperor said calmly.
King Jin was startled, "Father, I still have something to discuss with you."
When it comes to military expenditures, you still need to be sure of your words before you can rest assured.
"I'll tell you later, I want to have dinner with the Empress Dowager." The emperor spoke to Prince Jin in a much gentler tone, but seeing that Nangong Yitian still looked indifferent, he couldn't help but get angry, "Go, Everyone get out."
"My dear, please retire." Nangong Yitian bowed and stepped back.
The King of Jin could only say: "Yes, I will retire first."
After leaving the imperial study, King Jin thought that Nangong Yitian would take the initiative to talk to him, but he didn't know that he just strode away, as if his humility just now was just a show for his father.
Prince Jin has always been sought after by others recently, how could he bear such neglect? He immediately chased after him and said, "Prince, if you have time, why not go and sit down at the Ministry of War? Anyway, there are people you know in the Ministry of War. You are familiar with military affairs, so you can take them to get familiar with them."
He knew that Nangong Yitian's pain was caused by Lingxiu's defection, so he mentioned it deliberately.
Sure enough, Nangong Yitian's face turned cold, "I can't be free today, I'll go tomorrow."
After saying that, he walked away.
King Jin snorted, what the hell? Do you really think that you are still the powerful and powerful prince you once were?
The next day, Nangong Yitian took Leng Xiao out of the palace.
Leng Xiao was going to Min Mansion to see the injuries of his third uncle and Min Hanmo. Nangong Yitian went to the Ministry of War. He told the King of Jin everything he knew about the military affairs, but he refused to see Ling Xiu.
This made Ling Xiu very embarrassed and in a very low mood. King Jin went out of his way to comfort him, but also hinted to him that since he had chosen the Ministry of War, he should not always miss his old master.
In the morning of the next day, the emperor asked King Jin in the palace whether the prince would go to the Ministry of War to assist.
Because many officials from the Ministry of War were there when Nangong Yitian went, the King of Jin did not dare to hide anything and told the truth.
This actually surprised the emperor.
The most important thing for the prince these years has been military service. How could he be willing to give it up?
But this behavior did not reassure the emperor. Instead, he felt that the crisis was approaching.
According to his observation, the princelings have never made any big moves, and even the small court in the East Palace has stopped discussing matters, but this is too abnormal.
Why is he willing to let go? I thought that if I forced him to do nothing, he would secretly plot. When the time came, he would be beaten on the charge of forming a clique for personal gain, which would restrain him for at least three to five years.
He will not depose the prince, at least he has no plans to do so now.
Putting aside everything else, Nangong Yitian is still the most suitable candidate.
In addition to the monarch and his ministers, there is indeed a family relationship between father and son, but the emperor has to weigh which is more important.
Nangong Yitian had his own plans. Firstly, he did not want to involve his mother in the affairs between father and son. Secondly, he wanted to wait quietly for Leng Xiao to give birth to a child. Before she gave birth, the situation could be maintained as long as possible.
Therefore, he would let go of military affairs. In fact, the so-called letting go was because he had already planned it. He could not really let King Jin make military affairs a mess and get out of control.
