After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

"Father, you can't touch this wine!" The Prince of Ji looked at the fruit wine reluctantly.

Duke Ji was dissatisfied. Although he liked wine, not all wines were pleasing to him! Was a mere fruit wine worth his efforts?

"You've only been in Yunzhou for half a year, how come you've become so stingy? Don't be like Gu Nanxi, who asked you to lead the caravan all the way from Yunzhou to Kyoto, but was only willing to give you three carts of wine!"

The Prince of Jiguo corrected him, "It's not three cars, it's two cars! This one was given to me by the generous young lady of the Su family!"

Duke Ji rolled his eyes. This couple was becoming more and more unbearable to look at.

Three carts of wine were brought back, two of which were directly pulled into the young lady's yard, leaving only one cart for the mansion!

It's just fruit wine, why do you think it's so good?

"Don't talk nonsense! Go to the palace quickly!"

This was the first time that the Prince of Jiguo was summoned to the palace alone. He felt a little nervous: "I wonder what the emperor wants to see me about."

"Just behave yourself!"

The Prince of Jiguo was at a loss: "What does it mean to behave well?"

Duke Jiguo said calmly: "The emperor summoned you, he must want to hear you talk about Yunzhou, just tell him the truth."

"Oh well!"

The Prince of Jiguo was thinking about his fruit wine, and this thought dispelled some of his nervousness about the upcoming meeting with the emperor.

"My dear minister, thank you for your hard work!" When the young emperor saw the dazed Prince of Jiguo, he nodded with satisfaction.

Such an honest official would definitely not go out of his way to make Gu Nanxi happy.

Thinking of this, the young emperor raised his lips and said in a kinder tone, "My dear, did you have a smooth journey? Why did you take so long?"

The Prince of Jiguo felt a tightness in his heart. Could he tell the emperor that he had stayed in the Shuozhou Post Station for several months?

Of course not!

"Your Majesty, it's a rare trip to Yunzhou, so I wandered around there a little more to understand the people's sentiments."

The young emperor's eyes flashed as he guided the question: "What are the people of Yunzhou like? This winter has been tough. How many people have frozen to death on the road? Do the people of Yunzhou have any grievances against the imperial court?"

The Prince of Jiguo is in a difficult situation. The people of Yunzhou must be resentful of the imperial court!

Although the Yunzhou Weekly did not publicize the fact that Gu Nanxi was conferred the title of Marquis of Yongcheng, this matter could not be concealed from anyone!

The people of Yunzhou felt sorry for their great general! They openly and secretly cursed the court and the emperor.

The Prince of Jiguo is in a dilemma. Can he really tell the truth?

The young emperor raised his lips even higher: "My dear, just tell me the truth, there is no need to worry about anything else."

Since the emperor said so, Prince Jiguo closed his eyes, made up his mind, and said in a trembling voice: "I do have resentment."

The young emperor almost laughed out loud: "Oh? What do the people say? But is it because the governor didn't manage Yunzhou well?"

When Lord Li, who had managed to hold on despite being seriously ill, heard this, he sighed silently in his heart. He was afraid that the relationship between the monarch and his subjects would never be the same as before!

Master Tong was twisting the beads in her hands while looking at the Prince of Ji with a meaningful look in her eyes.

At the same time, the Minister of War, the Minister of Revenue, the Imperial College and other ministers also came to seek an audience.

As soon as these ministers came in, everyone looked at each other and understood what he meant. It turned out that they were all spectators, and they were at the forefront of the process!

As soon as they heard that the Prince of Jiguo was summoned to the palace, they knew that the emperor must want to hear about Yunzhou's latest situation, so they all came to the palace at the same time, wanting to hear how Gu Nanxi was furious as soon as possible!

It was the first time that so many ministers paid close attention to Prince Jiguo. He broke out in a cold sweat and his legs were shaking.

Seeing that the prince of Jiguo had not spoken, the Minister of Revenue urged him, "The emperor asked you a question, answer it quickly!"

The Prince of Ji raised his arm and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. He remembered what his father had said to tell the truth, so he answered honestly.

"The people don't have any complaints against the general. They admire him very much. On the contrary, they think the Great Zhou court has treated Gu Nanxi unfairly!"

Ok? !

The young emperor's smile faded, and his tone became solemn: "Oh? So that's how it is. When you went to announce the decree, did the general have any complaints?"

The Prince of Jiguo thought about it and to be honest, when Gu Nanxi received the imperial edict, it was as if he was receiving an ordinary thing. He didn't seem happy, but he didn't seem angry either.

So, the Prince of Jiguo shook his head and said, "No, the general is very calm."

The young emperor's tone turned cold: "My dear, please don't hide the truth for the general. The general is my elder sister. Even if she behaved inappropriately when receiving the imperial edict, I would not blame her."

The Prince of Jiguo thought about it and confirmed again and again: "No! The general did not make any mistakes, and the entire Yunzhou reacted calmly to this matter!"

In order to strengthen the credibility of his words, the Prince of Jiguo specially added: "Yunzhou is very busy now, with road construction, fruit factories, soap factories, and oil and wax factories. Even the Yunzhou Weekly did not mention the reward, and all reported on the road construction and opening!"

The young emperor and his ministers all looked unhappy.

Especially when Grand Tutor Tong chuckled, the young emperor's face turned as pale as pig liver.

I thought I could use this incident to upset Gu Nan and let her experience my miserable mood, but I never expected that this slap was as light as slapping on the clouds, without any reaction at all!

On the contrary, Yunzhou is still busy with construction, doesn't this make me look childish? !

Master Tong clicked his tongue twice and left.

Lord Li followed closely behind. The Minister of Revenue, the Minister of War and others glanced at the emperor, and seeing that he looked unhappy, they also found an excuse to leave.

The only two people left in the hall were the Prince of Ji and the Emperor.

The prince of Jiguo swallowed his saliva and asked himself whether he would leave or not? ?

"Get out!" the young emperor shouted angrily!

"Yes, sir!" The Prince of Jiguo rolled away quickly. He had to hurry home to drink fruit wine.

Upon returning to the Duke of Ji's Mansion, the Prince of Ji was horrified to find that the cart of fruit wine that he had managed to get from his wife had all been moved to the Duke of Ji's yard!

"Dad, didn't you say you don't like fruit wine?!"

Duke Ji touched his nose embarrassedly and changed the subject: "How did you behave in front of His Majesty today?"

The prince of Jiguo felt aggrieved, but he couldn't do anything to his father: "I'll listen to you and tell you the situation honestly."

"What did you say?"

After the Prince of Jiguo recounted the entire process of his audience with the Emperor, the Duke of Jiguo fell into silence for a long time.

Duke Ji had thought of everything, but he did not expect that Gu Nanxi would be so calm and not lose his composure at all. He also did not expect that Gu Nanxi had such a tight control over Yunzhou!
