Before Mr. Suan left to find something to fool King Zhao, Concubine Chen ran in, crying so hard.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you must make the decision for me."
Not to mention concubines, even the queen had to notify her if she wanted to enter Jingzhi Hall. The guards at the door didn't even stop her, and Concubine Chen just barged in.
Otherwise, many women are born actors. It is really sad to be sad, and it is really wronged to feel wronged, but they are not dizzy yet. They fall directly after rushing in, lying on their sides, not embarrassed, but still beautiful, and pitiful. Just like a female celebrity falling down on the red carpet, it's very professional.
Lao Ba was shocked and stood up: "What happened?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have to make decisions for your concubines and King Zhao. Empress De Fei... Empress De Concubine is too bullying."
Lao Ba was shocked and suddenly sat down: "Oh, it's Concubine De. You go back first. I'll talk about her later."
At first, Lao Ba thought what was going on, but when he saw the aggrieved look on the human-shaped jade seal, he became angry.
As a result, when he heard the word "virtuous concubine", Lao Ba thought for a while, forget it, it's better to do less than to do more.
"His Majesty."
Seeing that the eighth child was not doing the right thing, Concubine Chen's acting skills exploded, and she screamed miserably: "It's okay for me to be wronged. I'm from a bad background. Everyone laughs at me. Even though I've been wronged all over the world, it's okay." What can I do? As long as I can stay by your side and His Majesty's side, even if I see you a few more times every day and get closer to you, I will be satisfied, but...but...wuwuwu, 嘤嘤嘤嘤.”
Upon hearing this, Lao Ba showed a warm expression on his face. He was so moved that he opened his mouth as his mind heated up.
"Okay, okay, then I will grant you the privilege."
Concubine Chen shouted emotionally: "Your Majesty..."
"I grant you the privilege that every day after I come down to the court, you can stand outside the palace and secretly look at me once, no, twice, but don't come in, and don't delay my approval of the memorial."
Concubine Chen: "..."
Seeing Concubine Chen's expression was different, Lao Ba laughed loudly: "I'm joking with you."
Concubine Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
Lao Ba: "You can take a look three times."
Concubine Chen: "..."
Both civil and military officials are convinced, but you can hold back your words, old man. People will scratch you to death in a while.
Seeing Lao Ba's behavior, Concubine Chen didn't bother to do any foreplay. She stood up and staggered over, holding her forehead as if she was going to faint at any moment.
"Your Majesty, Bi'er was beaten outside the palace, and my concubine's brother was also beaten. The Chen Mansion was disturbed to a great extent."
"What?"
When Lao Ba heard this, his expression changed: "This is true. Whoever dares to beat the prince of the dynasty will be killed. Beating the prince has nothing to do with rebellion..."
After a pause, Lao Ba suddenly looked ecstatic: "Han You is back?"
Concubine Chen almost fainted this time, she was so angry.
Lao Ba stood up suddenly and was overjoyed: "Where is Han Youren, and when did he return to Beijing?"
"Your Majesty, it's not Commander Han, it's You..."
"Not Han You?"
Lao Ba was greatly disappointed, and then he shouted angrily: "My son, the current prince, the prince of Zhou Dynasty, whoever dares to beat Bi'er and eat the heart of a bear is a leopard. Who is it? I will never forgive him lightly."
The furious Lao Ba added in his heart, except Han You.
"It's His Highness Prince You. Your Majesty, His Highness Prince You led the palace guards to make trouble in the Chen Mansion. Not only did he kill his concubine and brother, he also... also injured Bi'er. Your Highness has always been taught by Concubine De, Empress De Concubine..."
"Wait a minute, the ninth child beat the third child?"
"Yes, what I said is absolutely true."
Concubine Chen looked at the changes in Lao Ba's expression.
You must know that there is a difference between superiority and inferiority, and there is an order between elder and younger. King You Wang Xingjiu, the youngest brother, King Zhao Laosan, is also an elder brother after all. The younger brother "beats" the elder brother, let alone in the royal family, even if he is Ordinary people also commit the following crimes.
"Laojiu beat Laosan..."
The emperor frowned, turned to look at Wen Wu, and suddenly became happy: "Yan'er looks more and more like me."
Concubine Chen lowered her head, a little desperate.
It is true that the royal family is a royal family, but the problem is that the patriarch of the royal family is Zhou Ke.
The second child beats the eldest child, the third child beats the second child, and the ninth child beats everything else. This belongs to the inheritance and family tradition.
Zhou Kexingba was the youngest of the third generation of the Zhou family at that time. From the seventh to the eldest, it was a tradition of the Zhou family to fuck his peers before he fucked his elders, and after he fucked his elders he crossed generations.
Zhou Ke is not ashamed and proud. He feels that as a younger brother, when he sees his elder brothers and elders "making mistakes", he must stand up and attack them with a sword.
"Your Majesty, you..."
Concubine Chen, who was originally here to complain, had served three emperors, and it could be said that she had never been as good as she wanted. She really followed that sentence, always thinking that she would meet someone better, but in the end, one was more crotch-less than the other, and the other was worse than the other.
"There is nothing trivial in the Tian family. I know it. Don't cry and cry. I will deal with the matter. If King You is wrong, I will never tolerate it. No one can plead for mercy!"
Lao Ba added in his heart, except Han You.
"Your Majesty, King You is more than..."
"Okay, okay." The emperor waved his hand impatiently: "I will tell you, go back to Qingning Palace, I still have to approve the memorial, and will send Yan'er when I have free time."
Seeing Lao Ba, she didn't seem to take it seriously. Concubine Chen's eyes were full of unwillingness. It was hard to say anything more at this point, so she bowed and left.
It can be seen that Concubine Chen is not satisfied with Lao Ba's answer. It is precisely because of this that the originally beautiful but slightly ferocious expression means that this not-so-smart woman is becoming increasingly paranoid.
As soon as Concubine Chen left, the old man who looked indifferent just now had eyes like daggers.
"Civil and military."
"The students are here."
"Ask someone to check, check, why Zhou Bi lives in the Chen Mansion, check, who the Chen Mansion has had close contact with recently, check, who else has King Zhao had contact with besides the Chen family after he came to Beijing, check..."
Lao Ba sighed: "Check whether the Donghai tax money is really as stated in the memorial, check whether the Donghai boat master's request for military merit is somewhat true or false, and check whether Zhou Ben has close contacts with the local aristocratic families in the fiefdom."
"yes."
Wen Wu lowered his head and prepared to leave.
You must know that the last sentence Lao Ba said was about which aristocratic families Zhou Ben had close contacts with, not whether he had close contacts with them.
Wen Wu who walked out of the hall suddenly felt sorry for Lao Ba. Just now, he was thinking that as a father, Lao Ba felt pleased and happy when he saw courtiers and scholars praising his children.
In fact, Lao Ba sees it clearly than anyone else and understands better than anyone what the Donghai family and officials are. How could he ask for credit for Zhou Ben without any reason?
Besides, Zhou Ben has been a weak scholar since he was a child, so how could he really be as brave as the military reports said.
Finally, there was the lavish praise in the court in the past few days. What kind of thing is the Chen family, what kind of things are the aristocratic families and officials in Beijing, and how can it be a good thing to get together with this group of people.
Lao Ba understands all this, but he just doesn't want to say it out loud and has some expectations in his heart.
"Wait a minute."
Lao Ba stopped Eunuch Suan and shook his head slightly, with a hint of weakness in his tone.
"Don't send anything to commend King Zhao. Find some calligraphy and paintings and send them to the villa. Don't talk about rewards, send them to Yan'er."
He was called Zhou Bi and King of Zhao.
He called Zhou Yan and Yan'er.
It can be seen from this that the emperor has already made up his mind about the younger brother beating the older brother.
He knew his son better than his father, and Zhou Yan was too young to go to the palace to pay his respects. It didn't mean that Lao Ba had never paid attention to Zhou Yan.
A prince who doesn't live in the palace is as outrageous as Chang Four Seasons Villa. The reason why Lao Ba doesn't care is precisely because he knows Four Seasons Villa.
There are the most knowledgeable scholars, the most honest people, the most loyal farmers, the smartest strangers, and the brave and capable military. There is nothing wrong with living in such a place and a villa for a long time. .
What satisfies Lao Ba the most is that both Zhou Yan and Zhou Tong will be taught by Han You's words and deeds.
Han You really did it. As a minister, he was loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and as a friend, he put himself in his shoes. This is why Lao Ba was assured that his son would follow Han You. Deep in his heart, he didn't want his son to be like Han You, who had no ambitions. , and it will not breed any ambition. Even if you are a little extravagant, even if you are a little unbridled, even if you are a little rebellious, you can share your worries and perform your duties.
In the empty Jingzhi Hall, there was only the sound of memorials being read.
Time passed by minute by minute, and it was night before you knew it, and Wen Wu came back.
"Your Majesty, we have found out that most of the people who have been in and out of the Chen Mansion recently are people from the Imperial Guards."
"Shilin?"
Lao Ba raised his head: "Those mean scholars?"
"They are all famous scholars in the capital. The one who comes in and out the most frequently is Dongfang Jian, a famous scholar in the capital who was worshiped by King Zhao a few days ago."
Lao Ba nodded slightly, with a thoughtful look on his face.
After a while, Lao Ba continued to approve the memorial.
Eunuch Suan knew that the emperor was not taking it seriously, but that he was taking it seriously and was just waiting to see what would happen.
"Then, His Highness King Zhao, is it..."
"No need. The title of Prince is too light. There are some reasons that cannot be explained."
