Oiran son

Today's Zhu Xu looked full of vigor and prosperity, a little different from the restrained and cautious King Ming on weekdays.

Thinking about the faces of those ministers just now, and the performance of Zhu Xu's leadership, Emperor Jing felt that there was no one place to fight.

However, it is not surprising to think about it.

In the past, there was a prince who sang antiphonal tunes with him everywhere, so he naturally had to be cautious, but now that there is no prince to suppress him, he can naturally do whatever he wants, and the ambition that was hidden in the past is now fully exposed.

A cold light flashed in Emperor Jing's eyes. He was not dead yet, so he couldn't wait to seize power from him!

His eyes shifted from Zhu Xu to Ouyang Chen who was standing in the middle of another queue, and Emperor Jing's eyes were slightly stern.

This son is no worse than Zhu Xu in terms of character, ability, and family background. The most important thing is that he has no ambition to fight for power.

This made Emperor Jing both satisfied and dissatisfied.

Thinking about Ouyang Chen's reluctance to recognize himself until now, Emperor Jing couldn't help feeling mixed emotions in his heart.

He wanted to make good compensation to this son, but unfortunately the other party didn't appreciate it, and only wanted to be alone.

However, Ouyang Chen will soon find out that if he doesn't have a certain amount of strength, it's just wishful thinking to want to be alone.

After clearing his throat and drawing everyone's attention to himself, Emperor Jing opened his mouth.

"Because the crown prince died of illness, he can no longer take care of the government affairs in the short term, but the government affairs cannot be delayed because of him alone. Therefore, I have decided to finish the government affairs that were originally in charge of him and hand them over to others."

Hearing this, Zhu Xu was overjoyed, here he comes!After waiting for a few days, the emperor was finally willing to hand over the power from the crown prince.

Seeing the expression on Zhu Xu's face, Emperor Jing sneered and fixed his eyes on Ouyang Chen.

Sensing the gaze on his face, Ouyang Chen raised his eyes and met Shang Jingdi's pointed gaze, and couldn't help being startled, with an ominous premonition.

Sure enough, the next moment he heard his name being called.

"Ouyang Chen."

"The minister is here." Ouyang Chen was taken aback for a moment, then regained his composure and walked out of the team.

"From today onwards, you will temporarily handle the government affairs in his hands on behalf of the prince. If there is anything you don't understand, you can also ask King Ming. I believe he will be happy to guide you, right?" Emperor Jing looked at Zhu Xu with a smile , cut off the way back for him to refuse.

Under the gaze of Emperor Jing, Zhu Xu had no choice but to swallow his dissenting words.

"My son obeys the order."

After all, Zhu Xu looked up at Ouyang Chen, as if he was looking at an enemy who betrayed him and committed a heinous crime.

Ouyang Chen pursed his lips, and originally wanted to explain clearly to Zhu Xu that he really didn't know that Emperor Jing would play this trick beforehand, but seeing the other party's appearance, he knew it was useless to say more, so he just sighed secretly.

After coming down to court, Ouyang Chen went straight to find Emperor Jing.

As if he had expected that Ouyang Chen would come to look for him, as soon as he asked to see him, Emperor Jing met him.

Walking into the Imperial Study Room, Ouyang Chen first saluted Emperor Jing, and then explained the purpose of his visit.

"I came here today to ask my lord to withdraw my order. I am very grateful to my lord for looking down on me, but my ability is limited, and I really don't have the ability to take on such a heavy responsibility."

Emperor Jing was not annoyed, but just looked at Ouyang Chen who was kneeling on the ground indifferently.

"Is it really incapable, or are you afraid to fight with the second child? Don't tell me what you say. If you have a deep brotherhood, after what he did to you, he didn't regard you as a brother at all. Not to mention that he made you and the one you love almost separated forever, I don't believe you can really swallow that breath."

After being speechless, Ouyang Chen was speechless.

That's right, Ouyang Chen can ignore Zhu Xu's treatment of him, but it involves Luo Yun, which is a hurdle that they will never be able to overcome.

However, even if he wanted to seek justice for Luo Yun and deal with Zhu Xu, he only wanted to use his own strength instead of being used by Emperor Jing as a tool to suppress Zhu Xu like now.

As if seeing through his thoughts, Emperor Jing laughed mockingly:

"Naive! Zhu Xu is now under one man and above ten thousand people in the court. Why do you fight with him? Don't forget, the fight between you is not ordinary heroes, or you can use your martial arts to find him Settle the bill, but after that, he will seek revenge on you again, but he will not attack you directly, but the people around you, just like before, but what leverage do you have to contend with him?"

Ouyang Chen pursed his lips tightly. Although he told himself not to be spared by Emperor Jing, what the other party said hit his nails. He couldn't find an argument to fight back for a while, so he had to remain silent.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Emperor Jing knew that his words had worked, so he spoke more authentically.

"Or, you may feel that I am using you to compete against Zhu Xu, but why can't you look at it from another angle? Why can't it be my compensation for you?"

Ouyang Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Emperor Jing in astonishment. Is he trying to pierce the membrane?Anti-consciousness stopped.

"I understand that I will do things seriously and will not disappoint the Holy Majesty's expectations. If there is no other order, then I will leave first." Then, without waiting for Emperor Jing to refuse, he turned and walked out.

Watching his fleeing back, Shuangxi, who had been standing aside as the backdrop, was dumbfounded.

Ouyang Chen was too unruly, and even resigned without permission. This simply didn't take the Holy One seriously.

He glanced at Emperor Jing worriedly, but saw that there was no anger on his face, but a faint joy?

Sensing Shuangxi's gaze, Emperor Jing smiled and said, "It's true that there are no rules at all. I don't know what to say after being seen by other people. However, I just like his true temperament."

Shuangxi quickly agreed: "Yes, Mr. Ouyang is really a man of temperament, unlike other people who are respectful on the surface, but in fact they don't know what's on their minds."

Emperor Jing leaned back in his chair, and sighed with admiration: "He is just too upright and stubborn. He always thinks that he can break through the world with his own ability, just like when I was young. I also determined to be a great-grandfather. The wise king brought Xia to prosperity, but unfortunately, the situation is stronger than people."

"Your Majesty." Shuangxi wanted to comfort him, but Emperor Jing waved his hand to show that he was fine, and said to himself.

"Although, he is reluctant to take over the burden now, but this is not the opponent of the second child at all, and he must find a way."

Shuangxi, who was listening to what Emperor Jing said, had an inexplicable strange look on his face.

Inside the Ming Palace.

"Side concubine, the lord is back." A maid came in and saluted Tang Miaoru.

Waving her hand to indicate that she understood, Tang Miaoru turned to look at Tang Xiao, "Brother, let's go out to meet the prince together."

Tang Xiao stood up and followed Tang Miaoru out of the room to meet Zhu Xu.

Ever since Tang Miaoru was almost plotted against by the prince's people that day, Tang Xiao had been worried that she would be bullied in the palace, but it was not convenient to visit her. It was not until today that he took the opportunity to discuss work matters with Zhu Xu that the two siblings had a chance to sit down. talk about.

"My lord."

When the two came to the main hall, they saw Zhu Xu who had just returned from court, and greeted him.

Seeing that it was Tang Xiao, Zhu Xu forced a smile.

"Tang Xiao, you are here, please sit down."
