Chapter 181 The Useless Mud

The emperor was approving the book in Yuqian Palace.

When Chu Qinghuang and Chu Tianyin arrived outside the palace gate, the guard said respectfully: "Your Majesty, just let your two highnesses go in directly without any notification."

So the two stepped into Yuqian Palace.

As soon as he saw the emperor who was sitting behind the dragon table approving the memorial, Chu Tianyin knelt down with a plop: "My son, I see my father, long live, long live, long live!"

Chu Qinghuang stood beside him, turned his eyes slightly, lowered his eyes and looked at someone in a posture of prostrate to the ground, and was silent for a moment.

The emperor looked up and said in a calm tone: "I have been sitting behind closed doors in the palace these days thinking about my mistakes. Have you seriously reflected on it?"

"Reporting to my father, I have been reflecting day and night and dare not live up to my father's expectations."

An expectation?

Chu Qinghuang was silent, what could be expected from this kind of mud that couldn't support the wall?

"I have received news that King Zhenbei is on his way to Beijing. Regarding the murder of the princess, have you thought about how to explain to King Zhenbei?"

Chu Tianyin fell silent. He didn't need to explain anything to the King of Zhenbei at all. Once the princess died, she was dead. People can't be resurrected after death. There was no way that the King of Zhenbei would challenge him for the sake of a dead daughter. .

If he can promise enough benefits to King Zhenbei, and prove that the death of the princess was purely an accident and that he was framed, then if he is given a step forward, King Zhenbei will naturally stand on his side. On my own side.

When Chu Tianyin thought of the secret letter he got a few days ago, he couldn't help but feel ready to move, and the ambition growing in his heart began to grow wildly.

This throne can only belong to him, he is the only one with pure blood, even his father is a fake emperor.

As long as he pulls King Zhenbei into his camp... No, there is no need to pull him at all. King Zhenbei is his father-in-law and should belong to his camp.

When the time comes, with the help of King Zhenbei and the support of the royal family members, he can naturally oust his father from the throne and sit on the throne himself.

At that time, he will be the destined emperor among thousands of people...

"I'm asking you something." The emperor frowned and looked at him displeased, "What are you thinking about?"

Chu Qinghuang raised her lips and really wanted to tell the emperor that your son is thinking about how to oust you and sit on the throne himself.

"Son... I didn't think anything of it." Chu Tianyin calmed down and replied with fear, "The King of Zhenbei is my father-in-law, but he is also a subject of my father. As long as I sincerely apologize to him, I believe that King Zhenbei has a generous heart and will forgive his innocent mistakes."

The emperor was obviously not particularly satisfied with this reply, but he was right. Although King Zhenbei was Chu Tianyin's father-in-law, he was also a minister of the emperor. Could it be that he really dared to accuse the royal family of raising an army?

Thinking of this, the emperor gave a faint hum: "In short, it was you who made the mistake first, and you must be sincere in your apology."

"My son, I obey."

"Get up."

"I don't dare." Chu Tianyin knelt on the ground and hesitated for a moment. He didn't know whether he was aggrieved or confused, "I have a doubt in my heart..."

"explain."

"Seventh sister said that she is the eldest princess and my son is the county prince. When we meet in the future, we must bow to her..." Chu Tianyin lowered his head, and his voice became more forbearing, "My son wants to ask my father's opinion."

Chu Qinghuang's expression paused slightly, and she couldn't help but look at Chu Tianyin, who was still lying on the ground. She secretly thought that Chu Tianyin must have forgotten his brain at home when he entered the palace today.

The emperor was silent for a moment, then looked at Chu Qinghuang, but saw his daughter's speechless expression, and said lightly: "Qinghuang is right, she is the eldest princess now, and before the prince is established, she has the highest status among the princes and princesses. , according to the rules, you should indeed salute her. "

Chu Tianyin froze: "..."

Chu Qinghuang said calmly: "Brother Three Emperors, did you hear this? This is not because I want to suppress you, but because the royal etiquette is strict and the distinction between superiority and inferiority is clear. Don't forget it in the future."

The implication is that I respect you and greet you obediently when we meet in the future, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences.

Chu Tianyin gritted his teeth and said, "I will remember it."

Is my father blind? Can't you see that Chu Qinghuang is arrogant and domineering, bullying his down-and-out imperial brother?

Shouldn't the father reprimand Chu Qinghuang severely?

"After being raised in the palace for more than a month, your injuries should be fine." The emperor said calmly, "Starting from tomorrow, you will take up a post in the Ministry of Household Affairs and learn the government affairs of the Ministry of Household Affairs from Wen Shangshu."

Chu Tianyin was slightly stunned, and then responded respectfully: "My son, I obey the order."

"Although you are a prince and have a more distinguished status than Wen Shangshu, after entering the Ministry of Revenue, Wen Shangshu is your superior. You cannot abuse the prince's power to oppress others at will. Ask for advice humbly in everything and do things humbly. I will often call the officials of the Ministry of Revenue to come and ask questions. your performance.”

Chu Tianyin's expression could not be more stiff. Wen Shangshu was from Concubine Duan's faction, and was an official recommended by Chu Qinghuang himself. Even if Chu Qinghuang's six relatives did not recognize that they would not let go of members of his own mother's concubine's natal family, they were still There is no way to change the fact that Wen Shangshu will obey Chu Qinghuang's orders.

His father arranged for him to be in the household department, but he was not allowed to act based on his status as a prince. He still had to obey Wen Shangshu's words?

Chu Tianyin thought coldly, it must be Chu Qinghuang, a bitch who made the suggestion in front of his father!
