After rebirth, I became the stupid son of the Hou family

Chapter 43 Remember what the emperor said

In the Hall of Yangxin, the incense burner exudes thick green smoke, and sitting on the desk is the current Emperor Xuanwu.

At this time, he was flipping through the desk and looking at the memorial handed over by the minister.When he saw in the imperial censor's memorial that the King of Wei stayed at the Flower House last night, he slammed the memorial on the table.

"Fan Yushi, is your news true?"

Censor Fan Jin took another step forward and said:

"It is absolutely true that it is His Royal Highness the King of Wei who is in Hualou. The old minister also considered the seriousness of the matter before writing a memorial to inform the emperor. The princes are the pillars of the imperial court. The future of the Xuanwu Dynasty will not matter what happens to anyone. These are all important matters. Therefore, I will report to the emperor first and be sure to strictly restrain the prince and never be careless."

The emperor's face became even more ugly. He was afraid that the princes would develop naughty habits, so he repeatedly asked them to strictly restrain their behavior.It is forbidden for any prince to enter or leave the Fengyue place, and it will be strictly supervised by Yu Shi Fan Jin.

Unexpectedly, some people turned a deaf ear to his repeated requests and did not abide by his restrictions.

What's more, King Wei was born to his beloved concubine Li Fei, and Concubine Li often praised King Wei for how diligent and promising he was, and could compete with the prince.

Prime Minister Hu Gaogeng praised King Wei more than once in front of him.For a moment, in his heart, he actually had the idea of ​​​​helping King Wei ascend to the throne.

Who knew that things would happen so suddenly, completely overturning his original image in his mind.

He immediately ordered the prince to gather all the princes to Yangxin Palace.He wanted to show everyone in public what would happen if he violated his rules.

Standing next to him with hands hanging down were the princes and father-in-law who had just gone to recruit Concubine Li and her son, as well as Yushi Fan Jin and Guo Pei'an.

And sitting under him was his Queen Xu.The prince and other princes were already standing in front of him with their hands down, but Concubine Li and King Wei had not arrived yet.

When Concubine Li and King Wei walked into the Yangxin Hall, they saw the emperor with an angry look on his face.Seeing that the two censors were at the scene, even Li Fei started to feel a little panicked when she saw this scene.

King Wei pretended to be calm and glanced at the princes standing aside.He had seen this scene two years ago.

At that time, under the supervision of the two censors, the emperor announced to the princes that they were not allowed to enter or leave the Land of Wind and Moon.

Unexpectedly, the first person to be punished was himself.

He lowered his eyes and followed Concubine Li, not daring to meet the emperor's eyes.

Concubine Li also pretended to be calm. She took the lead and walked forward and met the emperor and queen together with King Wei.

"I have met the Emperor and the Queen."

"I have seen my father and queen mother."

Concubine Li saw the emperor's face gloomy and looked up at her without saying a word. When the queen saw this, she quickly raised her hand and said to her:

"Concubine Li, Prince Wei, please get back on your feet. Do you know why the emperor asked you to come here?"

Concubine Li raised her eyes and looked at the princes in the hall one by one, and finally her eyes fell on the prince next to the queen.

She saw that the prince looked calm and looked directly at her and King Wei firmly, which suppressed her aura.

She said to the Queen with twinkling eyes:

"Queen, I don't know why the emperor called me here. Just now when the king summoned our mother and son, I was reprimanding King Wei in the palace."

Just as he was speaking, the emperor, who was full of anger, threw the memorial in his hand at Concubine Li and said to her:

"Concubine Li, please take a good look at what this is. As a prince, King Wei actually knew his mistakes and made mistakes, and went in and out of Fengyue places with others blatantly. He turned a deaf ear to the things that I had repeatedly emphasized and emphasized. His shameless behavior puts the royal family's face at risk. How will the ministers view this matter in the court? Concubine Li, tell yourself how I should deal with King Wei."

Concubine Li thought that her father's guess was indeed right. The emperor was really angry because of this incident.

She also pretended to be very angry and said to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, I just learned about this matter. I already scolded him severely in the palace. I hope your Majesty can punish him severely once, so that he can learn from the experience and gain wisdom. I never dare to go to that kind of place again.”

King Wei was so frightened that he knelt down and said:

"It's not good for my father to be his son, so you should punish him severely. It's all my fault that I didn't stick to my original intention and was dragged to that place by them."

The emperor sneered and said to him:

"At your current age, you can allow others to influence you. This only shows that your mind is not yet mature and you cannot withstand the temptation of others, let alone that you will be able to take on big responsibilities in the future. It seems that if I don't teach you a lesson, you will never You will not grow up. You will also make your brothers follow your example. Besides, even if I don’t beat you, it will not be enough to calm the anger in my heart. Come on, please pull the King of Wei down for me and punish him twenty times, as a respectful example. .”

At this time, the prince who was on the side stepped forward. He came to the emperor and said:

"Your Majesty, the King of Wei made such a mistake because I, the royal brother, failed to fulfill my duty of discipline. I am willing to accompany him to be punished. In the future, I will take the lead better and take responsibility for my father. The emperor relieves his worries."

The emperor looked at the prince below and said:

"Prince, you don't need to blame yourself randomly. If you have so many brothers, if they all make mistakes, do you have to bear the responsibility? If you say that, then I will be more responsible, Youdao It's the son's fault for not teaching his father. Do you still want me to take the blame from him?"

The prince respectfully said:

"Father has so many things to do, how can he have time to train the brothers one by one. From now on, I will try my best to share some things within my ability for my father."

The emperor looked at the prince with approval and said:

"Your mother should educate you well. Your brothers should be like you, with thoughts and frank words. I don't know how much peace of mind it would save."

At this moment, someone came to report:

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Hu Gao is outside asking for an audience."

The emperor rushed down and waved his hands and said:

"Let him in."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Gao walked in.After saluting, stand aside.Concubine Li was already anxious at this time. She originally thought that as long as she didn't protect King Wei, she would be scolded by the emperor and that would be the end of it. She didn't expect that she would beat him twenty times.

What's even more irritating is that the prince even pretended to be punished together with King Wei.

In just a few words, he not only gained the emperor's approval, but also showed his responsibility and ambition in front of all the princes.

She didn't expect that the prince was really a master of drama. He might have been very happy when King Wei was beaten, but he didn't show any superficial pretense.

At this time, she could only wink desperately at her father who had just entered, hoping that he would stop punishing King Wei.

At this time, Hu Gao seemed not to have seen Li Fei's eyes pleading for help.

Just listen to the emperor say:

"Prime Minister, are you here to plead with King Wei?"

Hu Gao hugged the emperor and said:

"Let King Wei take responsibility for his own mistakes. Perhaps after learning this lesson, he will remember what the emperor has ordered. Not only must he keep it in mind, but he must also perform it seriously. This will be very important to him. It will be very beneficial for future growth.”
