Chapter 2537 The Prince Forced the Palace [4]
When the two princes heard the decree, joy rushed to their foreheads, their bodies swayed, and they almost fainted with joy. After stabilizing their bodies, they hurriedly said: "I obey the decree!"
After kneeling for a whole day, not even a drop of water came in. His voice was hoarse. He endured the pain in his throat and asked, "Prince, who is going to attend to my father's illness tonight?"
The eunuch of the Qin Dynasty said: "Your Majesty said that the elders and younger ones are in order, so the second prince should go first to attend to the illness."
The third prince was so angry that he said this, but he could only admit it, and told the second prince dissatisfiedly: "Brother, the second prince must take good care of my father. If my father is good or bad because of my brother's care, I... "
"Third brother, shut up. What you said is quite inappropriate." The second prince interrupted the third prince and smiled in his heart. The third prince was so stupid, how could he argue with him? !
The third prince also came to his senses, and hurriedly looked at Qin's eunuch, saying: "Einister Qin, this prince just said something unintentionally."
Don't tell that old man.
The eunuch of Qin State said: "Third Prince, it's getting late. Please leave the palace first."
The third prince had no choice but to leave first.
The second prince was invited to the Mingwei Palace.
As soon as I stepped into the Mingwei Hall, I met the Queen Mother coming out of the back hall.
The Queen Mother is already seventy years old, her hair is almost completely white, and her face is full of tears.
"My grandson pays homage to the Queen Mother." The second prince knelt down to greet the Queen Mother, and then said, "Grandma, don't worry too much. My father is the real dragon and the emperor, and he will definitely turn disaster into good luck."
The Queen Mother looked at the second prince, helped him up, and wanted to say something, but in the end she just said a few words: "You are interested."
Huang Er said that there is no dynasty in the world that will never fall. If Da Chu really fails, it is a normal thing.
As for her children and grandchildren, since they have eaten royal food, they should bear the consequences. She should not be too sad, just protect the royal family members and prevent them from being bullied too much.
The Queen Mother had experienced a lot over the years and understood Emperor Jing Yuan's pain, so although she was sad and reluctant to leave, she agreed to Emperor Jing Yuan's request.
"Your Highness, please." Qin's eunuch took the second prince to the back hall.
The second prince came here for the first time and was a little shocked when he saw it... The back hall of Mingwei Hall was decorated like a palace, but it was not gorgeous inside, but rather simple. There was a pot planted in front of the window: " Wheat seedlings?"
After hearing this, Emperor Jingyuan praised him: "You actually recognize wheat seedlings, that's pretty good~"
But his face was still very pale, his voice was weak, and he looked terminally ill.
The second prince was very happy when he saw it. He was really about to die, but tears were streaming down his face. He walked to the bed, knelt down and said, "I pay homage to my father and ask him to take good care of his health. Although I can't do it. It’s not a big deal, but I can still do small tasks like serving tea and water. If my father needs anything, just ask.”
Emperor Jingyuan looked at the second prince and actually smiled: "I didn't expect you to be quite good at talking~"
You can't become an emperor by flattering others. What he wants is a powerful person who can take charge of the entire empire, resist the invasion of wealthy families, control all civil and military officials, and destroy the army and thieves.
Then he asked: "I remember that you worked as a errand in the Fuhu Army before?"
The second prince was shocked when he heard this and said with shame: "It's because of my fault that I failed to achieve anything."
When he was sixteen years old, he begged the Queen Mother several times, saying that he had grown up and wanted to get a job to gain experience. Originally, he wanted to go to the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Household Affairs, but Emperor Jingyuan actually asked him to go to Fuhu. military.
In fact, it was very good to be able to serve as a errand in the Fuhu Army. If he had been training in the Fuhu Army for ten years, he would have been in control of the military by now, and he would no longer have to be afraid of Emperor Jingyuan.
It's a pity that he was young and didn't think about it. After spending a year in the Fuhu Army and being tortured to the point of almost dying, he was afraid and angry. In the end, he ruined the errand he was assigned because of his impulsiveness.
Emperor Jingyuan took away his job and told him to go back to the prince's palace. After that, many things happened. Emperor Jingyuan suppressed the princes more and more. He was even less able to get good jobs and did not dare to accept them. Emperor Jingyuan would really kill these princes just because they couldn't handle it well.
It wasn’t until last year that I went to the Sixth Department to practice again.
Emperor Jingyuan didn't want to hear his nonsense, so he pointed at a pile of memorials and said, "Read it for me~"
What, you actually asked him to approve the memorial on your behalf? This is something only a prince can do!
The second prince was stunned. What did his father mean? Was he trying to test whether he was interested in the throne?
"Father, please calm down. I dare not make any mistakes!" The second prince quickly knelt down and admitted his mistake.
Emperor Jingyuan was angry and looked at Qin's internal prison.
The eunuch of the Qin Dynasty said: "Second prince, your majesty is ill and doesn't have much energy. However, the memorial must be reviewed. You can do it first and your majesty will review it later. If there are any mistakes or omissions, your majesty will correct them. You don't have to worry. Just follow your orders." "
The second prince looked at Emperor Jingyuan, ecstatic in his heart, and asked timidly: "I dare to ask my father, but is it true?"
Emperor Jingyuan nodded, hummed, ignored him, and lay down to rest.
When the second prince saw this, he waited for a long time before he dared to respond: "Yes, I obey."
After saying that, he started to kneel down in front of the couch and review the memorials. However, because he was afraid of making mistakes, he only reviewed six memorials in one hour. Each memorial also came with a note, writing: My knowledge is shallow, if there is any Please tell me if you are not thinking carefully.
Seeing this, Qin's internal eunuch shook his head inwardly, glanced at Emperor Jingyuan, and said: "Second prince, it's dark. There are still several memorials, which will be sent to various ministries tomorrow. Please hurry up."
Such procrastination is even worse than Gu Jinan.
"Okay." The second prince responded and reviewed the memorial at a faster pace, his body soaked in cold sweat.
"Your Majesty, Master Zhong is here." The eunuch announced at the door of the apse.
Emperor Jingyuan: "Come in."
Zhong Huan was invited in. After seeing Emperor Jing Yuan, he immediately reported: "Your Majesty, Wu Changzhen has already taken command. He has led General Zhen and General Qu and half of the Fuhu Army out of the capital to wait for the troops from the Zhili camp. After reuniting, we will lead the troops to Tangjiang Mansion and form a formation there to block the attack of the Wei family rebels!"
Tangjiangfu is a city located in front of Zhili. There is a large artificial river as a natural barrier to protect Zhili. As long as Tangjiang Prefecture is defended, Zhili can be defended, and the capital will be safe.
The second prince was shocked...Wu Changzhen had already led his troops out of the capital? Why haven't you heard any news before?
Emperor Jingyuan nodded: "Well, continue."
Zhong Huan said again: "Now the Zhili Camp is guarded by General Lian, and the Fuhu Army is led by General Rong. They are all loyal to Your Majesty, please rest assured. As for the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, Wei Chen is temporarily in charge. , which can ensure that the capital is safe."
Hahaha, the second prince wants to laugh, is he loyal? Although Old Man Rong had a granddaughter who entered the palace and became Hui's concubine, Hui's concubine only had one daughter and no son at all.
Concubine Hui will enter the palace just because the father wants to control the Rong family better.
Master Ming said that as long as Old General Rong was not an old fool, he should have known that this was a good opportunity for the Rong family to completely get rid of Emperor Jingyuan's control.
Anyway, Hui concubine doesn't have a prince, so it doesn't matter who the Rong family supports to rise to power.
Besides, there are other in-laws in the Rong family, and it is impossible to die on the old uncle of Emperor Jingyuan. They will definitely choose a new master to join them, and he is the most promising new master.
The second prince took the opportunity to hear many confidential things. He was very glad that he knelt down for a whole day to beg for this job. However, he never thought about why Emperor Jingyuan let him hear these words.
