Report to your majesty, the prince is courting death again

Chapter 42

The queen looked at Emperor Yuan Kang, and her beautiful eyes were rippling.

At this moment, Emperor Yuan Kang was like a child who had not grown up, with light in his eyes, color on his face, and a dark and cunning smile.

It seemed that calculating the little Xu An was more interesting than calculating those powerful ministers.

She had not seen such a sunny side of him for many years.

As the pillow of Emperor Yuan Kang, she knew very well how lonely and lonely Emperor Yuan Kang had been in these years.

He had great talents and had countless plans to revitalize Daqian and revive the government, but due to his weak strength, he could only endure and wait for it to go!

Now that Xu An appeared, he finally saw hope, and his hidden edge was exposed bit by bit!

"Your Majesty, are you still too impatient?"

The queen put away the smile at the corner of her lips and regained her sanity.

She put down the embroidery in her hand, looked at Emperor Yuan Kang and said: "A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Xu An is too sharp. I am a little worried about his safety..."

Those people can do anything for the interests in their hands.

"Too much arrogance? Bah, Queen, you think too highly of this kid."

Hearing this, Emperor Yuan Kang gritted his teeth and said, "This little bastard has no ambition at all. He doesn't care about high positions and high salaries, or fame."

"He just wants to be a prodigal son, a prodigal son who eats and waits for death."

"What is the credit for defeating the Dongyu delegation? He turned around and took the prince to visit brothels, so I couldn't reward him."

"Let him go to Nancheng County as a county magistrate to help the prince with disaster relief, but he gave all the credit for pacifying the refugees to the prince, clearly removing himself from the list."

"In his eyes, women, money, and freedom are more important than anything else."

"If I didn't see that he still had some family and country in his heart... I really wanted to beat him to death!"

Emperor Yuan Kang gritted his teeth. Could Xu An's little thoughts escape his eyes?

The Queen thought about it and found that it was true. If he really had some ambition? Would you be willing to be a prodigal for more than ten years?

"Well, he deserves to be beaten. If he is brought to the palace, he will be beaten with a hundred sticks!" She said viciously.

"The problem is that we can't fight for the time being. I need him now."

Emperor Yuankang snorted and said, "Let's wait until his ass gets better."

"Of course, what you are worried about will not happen for the time being. Those people don't have the courage yet."

Emperor Yuankang smiled and comforted the queen, saying:

"In this capital, if you dare to assassinate Xu An blatantly, you will tear your face with Xu Xiao."

"As long as Xu Xiao holds the military power of Daqian, no one dares to do this."

"Not to mention them, even those people in the world don't have the courage."

"If Xu Xiao goes crazy, how many people in the world are not afraid?"

"What's more, I support him!"

"So, make a fuss. The more Xu An makes a fuss, the more opportunities he creates for me..."

Emperor Yuankang's mouth gradually became cold, and he said, "For example, this disaster relief!"

The queen was shocked and said, "Have you decided to move the Ministry of Households?"

"The Ministry of Households The person in charge of the world's money is the country's money bag, but Zhao Si's money bag has been in these years. It's time to take it back. "

Emperor Yuan Kang put his hands behind his back and said, "Of course, it depends on what surprise the little guy can bring to me in the morning court tomorrow."

The queen glared at Emperor Yuan Kang unhappily and said, "Be careful not to play too much. It will not be a surprise, but a shock!"

"Hahaha..."

Emperor Yuan Kang laughed and said, "If that's the case, I'd love it."

At this time, Sun Diao Si walked in: "Your Majesty, Du Ruhua, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, has taken action. Now he is using more than a dozen cases to embarrass Master Xu. Master Xu has fallen into the trap and has returned to the Nancheng government office to be questioned."

"Oh? That means there will be excitement to watch?"

Emperor Yuan Kang raised his foot and walked out, saying, "Come on, change into plain clothes and go out of the palace to watch the excitement."

The queen looked at Emperor Yuan Kang's childlike appearance and couldn't help but smiled and shook her head.

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot one thing."

Before leaving, Emperor Yuankang seemed to have thought of something, turned around and looked at the Queen and said:

"Lan'er is on her way to the palace. You ask someone to select someone from the refugees to use Xu An's salt-making method."

"Now the whole palace is full of ghosts and monsters. It's not safe to use people in the palace."

"This matter must be kept secret, especially the courtesan in Mingyue Tower. You ask someone to warn her."

"If Xu An's salt-making method can really make salt better than refined salt, I will be very useful!"

The Queen smiled and nodded, saying, "I understand."

The Emperor Yuankang then laughed with satisfaction and left.

"Sun Diao Si, pass the order down, don't use the carriage, ride a horse out of the palace."

The Emperor Yuankang was in a good mood, said: "The palace is a bit far from the south city, and the carriage may not be able to catch up with the excitement."

Sun Diao Si smiled and bowed, saying: "Your Majesty, the imperial city is forbidden to ride horses..."

"I am the emperor!"

Emperor Huang Kang sneered.

After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said: "Forget it, otherwise those censors will go crazy tomorrow...Sun Diao Si, I remember that you are good at Qinggong, right?"

Sun Diao Si's face froze and he was stunned!

Your Majesty, my Qinggong is good.

But do you think it's appropriate for me to carry you and jump up and down on the roof?

...

Kong Mansion.

Kong Mingzhen was sitting in the study, holding a book in his hand, but he couldn't read it.

In his mind, it was all the scene of Xu An's swaying on the stage yesterday, which made him lose his appetite.

As the chief priest of the Imperial College, he was very clear about Emperor Yuan Kang's disappointment with the chief priest of the Imperial College and the literary world of Daqian. The reason is that as the president of the Royal Academy, he can't compete with Zhao Si in terms of talent!

Zhao Si has become the sky of the entire Daqian literary world.

This also leads to the fact that every three years, the winners of the imperial examinations are all Zhao Si's people.

Kong Mingzhen knows very well that if he continues like this, he will either die at the hands of the emperor or at the hands of Zhao Si, be deprived of his reputation, and be infamous for thousands of years.

He must find a way to compete with Zhao Si.

And Xu An is his best candidate!

But the problem is that he has offended Xu Xiao, the scoundrel, so it is not so easy to get him to agree to let Xu An enter the Imperial College.

You can't let him, a 60-year-old old man, kneel down to Xu Xiao in person, right?

"Grandpa, your granddaughter is here to share your worries."

At this time, the door opened.

A girl in a purple skirt and a sweet smile came in with tea.

The girl is Kong Mingzhen's granddaughter, Kong Yan'er.

"Oh, it's Yan'er, how come you have time to come and see grandpa?"

Kong Mingzhen's gloomy face immediately smiled when he saw his granddaughter.

"I'll bring some tea to grandpa and help him share his worries."

Kong Yan'er put the tray on the table and handed the teacup to Kong Mingzhen.
