Exile the entire clan? I made a fortune from planting

Chapter 493 Do you dare?

Chapter 493 Do you dare?

"Your Majesty! Why don't we take a moment and see how Prince Ping behaves before issuing an edict? This is too hasty! I really don't know what to do!"

Marquis Jianping glanced at the waning King Xuan, stepped out of the queue and suggested calmly.

"I second the proposal!"

"I also second the proposal!"

With someone taking the lead, King Xuan and King Yi's party now completely formed a united front, and one after another stood up to second the proposal.

Except for those staunch royalists, about half of the ministers in the court came forward.

Zhong Lizhou wrote down all these people while watching the changes.

Looking at these people who stood up, Emperor Mingde sneered: "Haha... you are such a good minister of mine. You are halfway through standing up."

The people who stood up all lowered their heads and did not dare to look around.

Looking at Cao Zhongling, Zhen Guogong, Song Taifu, Gu Weilan and others standing there motionless, Emperor Mingde felt better.

His expression softened a bit and he looked at them: "What do you ladies say?"

Cao Zhongling turned around in his mind: "Your Majesty, since they have said so, why not give Prince Ping some time to prove himself, not to mention that for such a big matter, Prince Ping also needs to go to Beijing, and people are also needed for border affairs. Take over, don’t rush it for a while.”

Zhong Lizhou looked at the faces of the people around him and stood up: "My grandson thinks what Mr. Cao said is absolutely true!"

Emperor Mingde glanced at him and then relaxed: "In that case, let's put the imperial edict aside for now."

"Zhou'er, come forward!"

Zhong Lizhou was shaken by the shout of "Zhou'er". He felt unspeakably uncomfortable all over his body, but he still moved over.

"From now on, report the political affairs to the emperor's eldest grandson in advance. If you can't solve it, come back to me. Let's start now!"

After Emperor Mingde finished speaking, he actually sat on the dragon chair, supported his head with one hand, and began to close his eyes and meditate.

Zhong Lizhou was standing closest to him, facing hundreds of pairs of eyes below, and he was also confused.

····

The morning ended in a strange atmosphere.

After the dynasty ended, Zhong Lizhou felt his body relax all of a sudden.

Just now, his days were almost like years. It felt like fighting someone on the battlefield all day and all night without a wink of sleep. If he was not careful, he would be killed.

Just when he was anxious to go back and ask someone to find out what happened in the capital, Emperor Mingde called him away.

King Xuan and King Yi were planning to have a good chat with their nephew, but when they heard Emperor Mingde's call, they became angry and turned away.

After leaving the palace, he mobilized connections and asked people to find out what happened in the palace.

Zhong Lizhou didn't expect that Emperor Mingde would ask him to talk to him in private, so he accepted it happily even though he was surprised.

He also wanted to know why this happened today.

He originally thought that the emperor's grandfather would take him to the Yangxin Palace, but he didn't expect that Emperor Mingde would take him to the Yanfu Palace.

When he saw the empress, Zhong Lizhou was stunned for a moment and quickly saluted: "My grandson has met the emperor's grandmother."

Jiang Qianruo looked at Zhong Lizhou inch by inch. The love and regret in his eyes made Zhong Lizhou freeze up and he almost couldn't maintain his expression.

Emperor Mingde took one look at his expression and pointed it out directly: "You must be wondering why this is happening today, right?"

Jiang Qianruo came back to his senses: "Sit down and we'll tell you."

····

Gong Yehong brought Da Sinong and Luo Chengwu to the door almost impatiently.

Ji Changying took the potatoes and sweet potatoes brought from her hometown and ordered them to make a table full of them in various ways.

The portions on each plate are not large, just right.

Because things are rare and expensive, you cannot feed people too much at once.

What's more, a lot of the Ji Changying brought by his hometown was sent to the palace, and there were not many left at home. Taking out too many at once aroused suspicion among the family.

After tasting the taste, Da Sinong's eyes lit up: "The red ones are delicious! The red ones are sweet! The yellow ones have no flavor without seasoning, but after adding seasonings, they have a special flavor."

Gong Yehong knew it well, "Sweetness is precious, so the price of the red one must be higher. I wonder how much the princess can provide? It doesn't matter if the price of the red one is higher."

Ji Changying smiled: "I will answer you after I discuss it with His Majesty."

····

Zhong Lizhou left the palace in a daze.

I see! It turns out to be like this!

No wonder she didn't answer when I asked Sakurai what happened to her family last time.

Thinking that Emperor Mingde and Jiang Qianruo looked at him and explained everything in detail, Emperor Mingde looked at him seriously: "I am already old. I will not mention the past things, but I will protect them in the future." It won't be long for you. When I leave, what will you, your father, and your aunt's family do? You should also think about it carefully."

"If you really don't want to, I will find a way to leave you a secret message. Although I can't guarantee your safety, I can protect you for a few years. But then your life will be in the hands of others."

"I was not a qualified father before, but you can't chase the past, you can only try your best to live a good life in the future. I will try my best to clear the obstacles for you, it depends on whether you want it! Dare to ask for it!"

Zhong Lizhou asked himself, does he dare?

He is so brave!

He used to dare when his father was not welcome, but now that his father has changed his identity, why doesn't he dare?

Before, he just didn't know the emperor's thoughts and didn't dare to reveal them casually.

He suppressed the excitement in his heart and calmed himself down.

He planned to go to the princess mansion and ask Ji Changying for confirmation.

After all, the estrangement between him and Emperor Mingde for so many years cannot be eliminated by these sudden words.

In his heart, he trusted Ji Changying's family more than Emperor Mingde.

-

After seeing Zhong Lizhou off, Emperor Mingde also relaxed: "I've told the child what happened. As for Prince Ping, to be honest, I don't really want to see him."

Emperor Mingde looked at Jiang Qianruo with some awkwardness on his face.

Her face was also a little unnatural, and she said vaguely: "Let's talk about it, no one has arrived yet anyway."

Both of them couldn't help but have some ostrich mentality in their hearts, and they didn't want to think about this embarrassing scene of mother and son, father and son meeting for the time being.

When Emperor Mingde returned to the Yangxin Hall, his face had returned to its usual expression. He looked at Eunuch Liu and asked, "Prince Xie hasn't come back yet?"

Liu Quan lowered his head: "Yes! According to the report from the spies, the Silent Hill side has been destroyed. The imperial tomb of the previous dynasty has also been dug up. Hui Ji was not found inside, but all the valuable funerary objects inside were missing. Fei, leaving only some scattered items, the prince is still tracing them."

Emperor Mingde's eyes flashed with haze: "Where is Marquis Xuanping? Still unwilling to explain?"

Liu Quan's head lowered: "I didn't expect this person to be a tough guy. He used all kinds of criminal methods and medicines, and he was determined and never let go."

"Call Prince Xie back to me. Since he refuses to show up, let's lure the snake out of the hole!"

"Yes!"
