Prince loves to pick up trash

After a while, the prince had arrived at the Dexuan Hall of the upper court.

The East Palace and the Dexuan Hall are very close. When he arrived there, there was still a quarter of an hour before the morning court began.

He stood at the door and looked around for Qi Zi'an.

It's a pity that there is no harvest, presumably Qi Zian has not arrived yet.

That's right, even if Qi Zian is free and undisciplined, he won't come to the court with the smell of alcohol all over his body.Presumably this will be looking for a place to change clothes.

I don't know if he will be late, or simply skip today's morning court.

Seeing the prince looking around, Prime Minister Shen An stepped forward and asked, "Who is Your Highness looking for?"

Hearing the voice, the crown prince first called his uncle, and then replied truthfully: "I'm looking for Zi'an. He had a drink with me yesterday, and I'm afraid he'll be late."

Shen An really wanted to yell at him, "It's better to worry about yourself than to worry about him", but in front of the civil and military officials of the court, he swallowed all the words on his lips, and just comforted the prince, "Your Highness, don't worry, King Xian Even if you don't come, His Majesty will not blame you."

After finishing speaking, he said: "How about your Highness go in first, if King Xian has already gone in, you won't be able to find anyone here."

The prince shook his head, with a slight smile on his face, "If Zi'an came first, he would definitely be waiting for me at the door."

His voice was not loud, but the volume did not affect the firmness in his tone at all.

Shen An thought: "It's quite stubborn!"

Because he didn't want the prince to stand at the door and look around, he could only accompany him and chat with him casually.

"Although His Highness and King Xian are close, they are royal brothers after all. It is unethical to always call "Zi'an Zi'an" and it is not good for people to listen to. It is better to call Xian Wang directly as "Third Brother". Close enough that King Xian won't be overwhelmed."

The prince explained: "His character was taken by Concubine Duan himself before she passed away. Concubine Duan left early. "Zi'an" is still a thought for him. He told me that he hoped I would call him that. I am him. Brother, so I always want to follow him to make him happy."

Shen An didn't want to speak after hearing this.

Although the present king seems to really regard the prince as his elder brother, Shen An always feels that there is something tricky about it.

After all, the situation when Concubine Duan ascended the throne is still vivid in my memory.

But every time he told the prince that Xian Wang had ulterior motives, the prince was not happy.

It seems to be immersed in the dream of brother and friend Gong.

Shen An didn't bother to persuade him anymore, he winked to the side, and immediately a large group of people came to greet the prince one by one.

These are all disciples of Prime Minister Shen, to put it mildly, they are members of the Shen family.

The prince didn't like to talk to them, but he couldn't refute his uncle's face, so he could only respond one by one.

He is not the kind of character who likes to perfunctory others. If he wants to respond, he will not be sloppy, so he can't find Qi Zian again.

When the people who said hello gradually dispersed, the morning morning had already begun.

The prince himself didn't know how he was brought into the palace by them.

After a while, everyone had already taken their positions, the prince subconsciously looked at Xian Wang's position, but he did not expect that he had already arrived.

It should be that the prince was surrounded by people when he entered the palace and did not see it.

Now that the queue was neatly lined up, the prince couldn't go over to ask about his health, so he could only cast a questioning look.

Qi Zian also happened to look over, and the two people's eyes met, and Qi Zian showed a harmless smile.

He bent his eyebrows and eyes, and the corners of his mouth were well drawn, giving him a youthful look.

He looks a lot like Concubine Duan, and his facial features are sharp enough to be aggressive.

But with such an expression, there is a little more innocence.

Of course, this is what the prince thought.

In Shen An's eyes, Qi Zi'an's appearance was just malicious, and it was the satisfaction after the success of the treacherous scheme.

Quite a bit of the cunning of a fox.

The emperor also saw his two sons flirting with each other, and immediately shouted angrily: "Qi Gong, I didn't ask you to come to the court to look around. If there is any trouble, it will distract you from state affairs, so you won't use it in the future." .”

Qi Zian was not mentioned at all.

Earlier, he was not so irritable. Since he had a serious illness last year, his dissatisfaction with the prince has been made public, and he has to criticize both big and small matters.

The prince didn't defend himself at all, he just said docilely: "I know my mistake."

Another voice followed.

"Father, my son also knows his mistake. My son was drunk yesterday. Brother Huang is worried about me. Hey, father, let's discuss things first. I'm so sleepy right now that I can't keep my eyes open." , I want to go back and catch up on sleep."

After finishing speaking, Qi Zian really closed his eyes.

But there really is him.

Faced with such a lazy attitude, the emperor was not angry at all, and the courtiers even suspected that he would say something like "my youngest son is so sleepy and so good to come to the court".

Fortunately, the emperor didn't say that, so the matter was exposed like this.

The ministers began to report important matters one by one, and the emperor responded one by one.

The prince listened silently without interrupting, as if he had nothing to do with the world and listened to his father's words.

Qi Zi'an kept his eyes closed the whole time, recalling how the prince was drunk last night.

The same wine, when drunk into Qi Zian's stomach, is like drinking water.

After drinking it into the prince's mouth, his face became as red as if dyed with rouge.

The crown prince was already too strong to drink, but he insisted on asking Qi Zian to drink just one cup, and he was so drunk that he couldn't keep his eyes open.

He was drunk, but he didn't make trouble, and was still quiet.

Feeling hot, I just tug on my clothes, and finally climbed onto the bed and rolled myself into a drunken shrimp.

Qi Zi'an was not drunk at all, but he pretended to knock over the flagon, put his arms around the prince's waist, and cried how lonely he was without his mother and concubine.

He shouted: I miss my concubine so much.

But I thought in my heart: Brother Huang's waist is really thin, so comfortable to hold.

Just reminiscing, the emperor suddenly clicked on him.

"This case is not a small one. We must find a royal family to take care of it. Let the third child go!"

Without even thinking about it, Qi Zian replied, "Let the emperor go, I don't want to do it."

Emperor: "..." What can I do, tear down No.1.

Just now Shen An has been persuading the emperor, wanting the emperor to hand over this matter to the prince, but now King Xian is also pushing the errand to the prince, it is as if someone is dozing off and someone will give him a pillow.

He quickly went on to say: "Investigating corruption is tedious and thankless. King Xian is still young and playful, so it's human nature not to want to get involved."

"In Yichen's opinion, the prince has to deal with this matter. The prince is the crown prince, so he should practice more. Presumably the prince is not afraid of trouble."

Having said all this, the emperor was still unwilling to let go.

He wanted to refute Shen An, but he had nothing to say.

But he has a special skill in finding steps: when you have nothing to say, just scold the prince!

The emperor threw the booklet at the prince and asked, "Did you find out the result of the case that you were asked to investigate a few days ago?"

Without waiting for the prince to answer, he went on to say: "You can't even handle the big nails, so what else can you expect from you! If you want to practice, you should stay in the imperial city first. The military needs more attention. Capable man."

"What do you think?"

The courtiers felt that this was a bit exaggerated.

In terms of ability to handle affairs, no matter how bad the crown prince is, he is better than King Xian who was still dozing off in the previous court.

The prince bent down to pick up the bag that fell in front of him, and replied in a gentle voice: "I have let my father down, and I am guilty!"

A few days ago, the emperor entrusted him with a few more things, but they were all old files and death cases that could not be found out.

He didn't blame him for this matter, but years of experience told him that he should respond to what his father said.

Now that the father is unhappy, he has to find a way to find a way for the father.

"My son's ability is limited, and the case of military salary has to be handed over to others. My son thinks that the minister of the household department is a good candidate."

The matter of military pay was originally under the control of the household department, but the secretary of the household department belonged to the Shen family, so the emperor deliberately avoided the household department, wanting to give King Xian a name, and then randomly transferred some of his own people.

What he wanted to transfer was the servant of the household department.

Shen An: "..." What can I do, tear down No.1!

Being dismantled by his own family, Shen An didn't bother to fight anymore, but the emperor was happy.

The rest of the morning did not say anything important, the overall atmosphere was good, and it didn't take long for them to leave happily.

The courtiers left in twos and threes, and some of them couldn't help talking about what happened today.

"I think His Majesty is treating the prince worse and worse. He doesn't want the prince to intervene in anything. Today he directly said that he doesn't come to court... Hey, that's the point of this."

"Not necessarily. Look at the people in this court. Half of the walls are from the Shen family. How can the emperor be happy? The prince is quite sensible, so he pushed this matter away."

"Speaking of which, who do you think will be able to sit in that position in the future?"

"Don't dare to say that! You and I, petty officer, why bother to get involved in this kind of fight."

They didn't dare to speak, so naturally they dared to speak.

Some people are destined to be involved in partisan disputes.

"What do you think of the prince's handling of today's matter?"

"Of course not. Although he followed the emperor's wishes to please the emperor, the emperor can only please him for half an hour at most. The gain outweighs the loss."

"Indeed, investigating corruption cases is thankless on the surface, but in fact it is the best way to eliminate dissidents. Now that His Majesty's health is not as good as in the past, everything needs to be more planned. If you have your own manpower in the army, your chances of winning in the future will be even greater." Can be bigger."

"That's right! If it weren't for the Shen family to support the prince, the emperor would have found thousands of reasons to depose the prince. Although there are many students from the Shen family in the court, most of the Shen family's work is well-behaved, and the prince relies on Shen. There's nothing wrong with home."

"Hey, in this way, we are not from the Shen family, so we should go to Xian Wang. Two months ago, the crown prince turned [-], and the emperor bestowed the word Wenliang, which is simply Sima Zhao's heart."

It is not surprising that the crown prince was named Gong, but he was named Wenliang, so he almost gave up.

While they were talking, Prince Qi Wenliang's voice suddenly sounded: "The imperial court is over, you two should go home earlier. Father is the Son of Heaven, and thunder, rain, and dew are all due to your grace. I heard what you two said today. It's okay." , if someone with a heart hears it, maybe they will make a fuss about the two of you."

Seeing them froze on the spot, Qi Wenliang smiled, a harmless smile, really not the slightest bit unhappy.

If someone else said this, it would probably be a threat; but when he said it, it would make people think it was a kind reminder.

Without waiting for the two of them to say anything more obedient and remedial, Qi Wenliang said first: "I have to go to pay my respects to my mother after the imperial court, so I left."

After speaking, he headed towards the harem.

Just now Qi Zian wanted to ask him out for a stroll in the palace, but was intercepted by someone sent by the empress, and the two could only meet at a poetry meeting in a few days.

He was thinking about the poetry meeting, but he didn't know that there were two other people who kept looking at his distant figure.

Shen An asked the Grand Tutor: "What do you think of Gong'er?"

Tai Fu Liang Fu didn't respond, and looked intently at the direction where Qi Wenliang disappeared, as if he was thinking about something seriously.

He and Shen An are not in the same way, and even confronted Shen An all the year round, but Shen An still silently waited for his answer.

Liang Fu is good at teaching. Besides the Pope's children, he also has a large number of students, and his kung fu is accurate enough.

A word of affirmation from him is better than thousands of good words.

And this man never tells lies.

At first, the emperor sent Liang Fu to teach the prince, mainly because he wanted him to take care of the prince.At that time, the emperor also said that he does not expect him to learn anything, and he hopes that you can always correct and teach.

To put it bluntly, there is no need to teach Qi Wenliang practical knowledge, and it would be best to criticize him every now and then.

Liang Fu was a straightforward person, never favoring anyone, and he didn't listen to the emperor's words very much.

Over the years, although he has not helped Qi Wenliang, he has fulfilled his duty as a teacher.

Shen An originally thought that Liang Fu would not answer his question, but Liang Fu said, "Not bad!"

Shen An thought: "This is a surprise."

As the elder of the three dynasties, Liang Fu taught the emperor first, then taught the current majesty, and now the prince, his status is high enough.

His students are all talented, so there are two powerful officials in the Qi Dynasty, except Shen An, who is him.

If Qi Wenliang can get the support of both of them at the same time, no matter how rotten the mud is, he can still stick to the throne.

Shen An was about to ask: "Your words... are you expressing your opinion?"

Before he could say anything, he heard Liang Fu say: "For thousands of years, the battle for the throne has been fought every time. It's really ugly. He is willing to take a step back, that's right."

After finishing speaking, he pretended to comfort Shen An: "His Royal Highness has a deep friendship with King Xian. Even if King Xian ascends the throne in the end, His Royal Highness will definitely be sincerely happy!"

Shen An flicked his sleeves and left.

Before leaving, I still thought: Forget it, my sister’s child, let my sister teach it herself!

Just now Qi Wenliang said that he was going to pay his respects to the queen, but Shen An knew that he stopped paying his respects every day a few years ago.

He has grown up, and it is inconvenient to walk in the harem. It is not an important matter, and the queen will not call him.

Dare to drink and hangover with King Xian, there will be good fruit for him to eat!
