When these words came out, all the officials looked at each other in bewilderment.

Prime Minister Wei Chen stood up, combing his white beard, and bowed, saying:

"Your Majesty, according to the rules, all members of the royal family must be buried in the Imperial Ancestral Temple after death. The etiquette and laws cannot be abolished. However, Ruichang King Rongge is not only corrupt, but also sent people to assassinate you. This is obviously a rebellious intention. I think he cannot be buried in the Imperial Ancestral Temple."

Imperial Censor Yan Zheng also stood up and said: "I agree that Rong Ge's crimes are extremely serious and he should not be allowed to enter the Imperial Ancestral Temple."

After the two men finished speaking, many officials came out to agree with them, but there were also a few civil servants who upheld etiquette and laws, who cited ancestral rules and said that the deity should be enshrined in the Taimiao.

At this time, Rong Cheng, who was sitting high on the dragon throne in the Purple Palace, spoke. His voice was indifferent, but it carried the majesty of an emperor:

"Prince Yong'an, as the head of the royal family, what do you think?"

At this time, a man in his fifties walked out from in front of Wei Chen. He had a gentle and noble face, but his stature was tall and burly, which gave Chen Huai a strange feeling.

Is he Rong Zhaolin?

The Prince of Yong'an who had not attended court for a long time and did not care about state affairs?

Seeing that his face was nothing like his own, Chen Huai breathed a sigh of relief.

Unlike his elegant appearance, Rong Zhaolin's voice is full of energy:

"Your Majesty, although Rong Ge is the blood of the previous emperor, he has committed serious crimes. I believe that the Imperial Ancestral Temple cannot tolerate such descendants who attempt to overthrow the emperor, so he should not enter the Imperial Ancestral Temple. Please understand your majesty."

All the officials were a little surprised. Prince Yong'an had always been neutral in the court and seldom expressed his political views so bluntly. It was obvious that the incident involving Jung had indeed made him furious.

At that moment, all the officials came out to praise Prince Yong'an's loyalty to the emperor, and agreed to not allow Rong Ge to enter the Taimiao.

Rong Cheng lowered his eyelids to hide the deep meaning in his eyes: "If that's the case, then I'll grind Rong Ge to dust to serve as a warning to others."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the civil and military officials in the Purple Palace were amazed at the emperor's thundering measures, but they also felt that this was unlike the emperor's previous leniency, and they were all stunned for a moment.

Only Rong Zhaolin did not hesitate and immediately bowed and agreed: "Your Majesty is wise."

All the officials reacted and bowed together, saying, "Your Majesty is wise."

After retiring from court, Chen Huai walked in the quiet corridor of the palace, wondering how Rong Zhaolin could be so cruel to his own son Rong Ge. Not only did he not allow him to enter the Taimiao, he even wanted to grind his bones and scatter his ashes. Either he really didn't care, or he was extremely shrewd and cunning.

Chen Huai didn't know what he was going to do next. His only plan now was to remain constant in the face of ever-changing circumstances. He couldn't act rashly before his master made a move.

There is just one thing, Rong Cheng must not be hurt, he must protect him every step of the way.

Unexpectedly, things went against his wishes. At night, when the palace lanterns were just lit, in the Emperor's bedroom of De Shou Palace, Chen Huai looked at Rong Cheng in disbelief:

"What did you say? You want me to investigate the illegal salt business at this time?"

Rong Cheng thought Chen Huai's frown was a little cute. He wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. He pretended to be helpless and pulled him over, sat on the stool beside the table, and sighed softly:

"I have no choice. After the Pei An and Rong Ge incidents, there have been a lot of changes in the court officials. It's not easy to send someone else for the time being. I feel relieved if you go."

"But I'm worried, you..."

Chen Huai didn't know whether he should reveal the relationship between himself and Rong Zhaolin at this moment. This was only Rong Ge's one-sided statement. He had never had any contact with Rong Zhaolin so far. He didn't know what conspiracy that man had behind him. He was afraid of implicating Rong Cheng if he told it out.

Chen Huai was very confused for a moment and his face looked very ugly.

Seeing the fatigue in Rong Cheng's brows, Chen Huai reached out and pulled him over, letting him sit on his lap, and compromised:

"Don't we have two missions? I'm going to Duzhou to control the floods, which is close to the capital."

If there is any disturbance in the capital, he will rush back as soon as possible. He is really worried about leaving at this time.

Unexpectedly, Rong Cheng rejected it outright: "No," with a very serious look on his face.

Chen Huai was angry, hugged his waist tightly, approached him and said coldly:

"Do you think I'm not as good as Lu Jun? You would rather send him to control the flood than me, Rong Ziyu, you..."

Before he finished speaking, Rong Cheng sighed, put his arms around Chen Huai's neck, put his index finger to his lips, and looked at him affectionately:

"Silly boy, there are floods there and you are not good at swimming. I am worried if you go there. Please don't make me worry, okay?"

Chen Huai's heart softened, and he was silent for a moment, which was considered a complete compromise. His expression softened a little: "You are doing this again, I can't do anything to you."

How should I say it?

Every thing has its own nemesis, can you make tofu with brine?

Chen Huai had no idea, he only knew that the man in front of him used tenderness to make him compromise. He knew Rong Cheng was cunning and he also knew that he was deliberately getting him out of the way. Apart from cooperating, he didn't know what else he could do.

Chen Huai held him in his arms and told him:

"You can let me go, Yang Xuan, I will stay in the capital. If there is anything, you must ask him to send a message to me in time, and I will come back as soon as possible."

Rong Cheng felt warm in his heart when he heard his words. He couldn't help but rub his nose against his and said softly:

"Don't worry, I remember everything you said."

After saying that, he picked up a bowl of medicine on the table, felt it to see if the temperature was just right, and handed it to Chen Huai:

"Drink it, it replenishes your blood."

Chen Huai frowned. After he came back from Shu injured, Rong Cheng made him drink this bitter medicine every day. It was good to have someone care about him, but he was used to being casual in his previous life. He just endured fever and colds and never touched these things.

Chen Huai's eyes turned:

"I won't drink it. Who knows if you put some aphrodisiac in it again, intending to do something bad to me? I won't be fooled and I won't drink it."

After saying that, he was about to push Rong Cheng away and stand up. Rong Cheng could see it, and he was so angry that he laughed while hugging him. He didn't understand why someone who didn't frown even after being seriously injured was afraid of drinking bitter medicine. He immediately threatened:

"Don't talk nonsense, you have to take this medicine. You lost so much blood, you have to make up for it. Drink it while it's hot."

Seeing that Chen Huai still had a reluctant look on his face, Rong Cheng pulled the small round cushion on the table over.

"Drink it quickly, or even Yuanyuan will laugh at you. You are so old and you are still afraid of taking medicine."

The dog really understood human nature. It sniffed the medicine bowl with its nose, wrinkled its nose at the bad smell, then looked at Chen Huai and covered its mouth with its two little paw pads, its eyes clearly showing a gloating smile.

Chen Huai and Rong Cheng saw its little appearance at the same time. Rong Cheng found it funny, while Chen Huai was so angry that he took the medicine bowl and drank it. Then, in the shock of the two of them, he took his dog son and wiped his mouth.

Rong Cheng quickly hugged Yuanyuan back and looked at him in disbelief: "You, you, I just gave him a bath"

Chen Huai was angry with them and said arrogantly: "I won't use it if it's not freshly washed."

Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment, then let out a howl with an insulted look on her face, and jumped up in Rongcheng's arms to scratch its dog father.

Rong Cheng hurriedly hugged it and smiled helplessly:

"You said you are his father, how can a father always bully his son like this?"
