Love in the Red Chamber, Drunken Water, Jade Dream

Prince Shuihao looked at the angry look of the emperor, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Father calm down, today is a good day for father, father must pay attention to his body, besides, this is the duty of a minister, although the minister once I have instructed the Prince of the North to take care of this matter carefully and not to seek credit rashly, but now that something like this has happened, I cannot be blamed for it, so please punish me."

The emperor lowered his eyes to look at Shui Hao who was kneeling on the ground, sighed, and said: "This matter has nothing to do with you, this matter is completely self-willed and eager for merit, but now it's a good thing, such a mess has occurred, let me I am ashamed of the late emperor's spirit in heaven."

Shui Hao hurriedly said: "Father, don't be sad, wait for the son to go to the household department first, and let the old general calm down and go back to the mansion." Nodding, the emperor said: "Okay, you go, I can't control so much today. "

Respectfully, Shui Hao saluted again, and then slowly retreated, a trace of imperceptible satisfaction flashed across his gentle and fair face.

Looking at Shui Rong kneeling on the ground, the emperor couldn't help shouting: "Shui Rong is playing ice, you are guilty." Shui Rong said loudly: "I am not guilty." But with a stubborn face, he couldn't help but get angry, and said: "You are not guilty. You are not guilty of killing the dignified servant of the household department."

Shui Rong already knew about the affairs of the Ministry of Household Affairs, so he raised his head and said eloquently: "I have been ordered to do business and collect money for the country. What's the crime? Wrong, as for hanging himself, that's because he can't think about it, so it has nothing to do with me."

"You are still quibbling." The emperor slapped his palms and said angrily: "I told you to pay off the money owed to the treasury, but did I let you kill people? I said that although the debt owed to the treasury is imminent, there must be a reason , you want to give them a time limit for relief, you are good, knowing that Liu Donghuai is unable to repay the money, you still force him to give it all within ten days. It is important to build a country with prestige, but as a prince, you have to convince others with reason. What has become, and how is it different from a murderous robber."

Shui Rong raised his eyes and glanced at the emperor, an indescribable look flashed across his beautiful face, but his natural temperament made him unable to resist saying: "Yes, I am self-willed and self-willed, but how does the emperor know that he is powerless to retaliate?" Yin, he can have money to marry a concubine and buy an outhouse. Doesn’t it mean that he has no money to repay the debt? Besides, the rest of the household department is following his lead. .”

The emperor sneered, and said: "In the end, you are just eager for profit and gain, and you don't care about anything in order to finish your job. You must remember that you are based on safety and persuade others with reason. You are so self-willed and self-willed You will never be respected and admired by others. In this regard, you are not as good as the prince. You don’t have to be unconvinced. It’s a fact. Take a look at such a trivial matter, what has caused you to make trouble now .”

Without making a sound, Shui Rong looked at the emperor silently, the undisguised despair in his deep eyes did not disappear for a long time.Lowering his eyes, Shui Rong still knelt straight, and said: "What can I compare with Your Highness, I am just a little prince, in the eyes of others, he is just a pawn who obeys orders."

"You..." The emperor said angrily: "With your current appearance, you are indeed inferior." After finishing speaking, the emperor couldn't help but walked down the dragon case, looked at Shui Rong kneeling at his feet, and said, "You are too annoying to me." disappointed."

Shui Rong held his head high, and said without fear: "I didn't let the emperor hope, so why should I be disappointed? Your Highness does things with the status of one person under one person and above ten thousand people, so naturally someone will listen, but what about me, Qing Owing money to the treasury is an errand to risk the disgrace of the world, and people with ulterior motives are secretly obstructing it, if the minister is kind and pleasant, I am afraid that the emperor will not be able to clear it up in ten years."

"Bold" the emperor shouted grimly: "You think that no one else can do a good job except you, you think I can't get back Kuyin without you, Shui Yibing, you are too arrogant, you are not only self-willed, you are also arrogant , you... today's matter, I will never forgive you, otherwise how will I explain to the old minister, come, and send the Northern Prince to the ancestral hall to think about it."

Seeing the emperor's face turned pale with anger, Dai Quan hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Northern Prince is also thinking of the Emperor. If you pay back the money as soon as possible, the treasury will be sufficient and the country will be stable. The Emperor can also worry less. In the final analysis, it is just that the prince is a little impatient, so it is fine for the emperor to teach him a few words. As for the rest, today is the emperor's birthday, and if the emperor can forgive the world, then..."

Serving the emperor for many years, Dai Quan naturally knew the emperor's temperament. From the gift list just now, Dai Quan knew that Shui Rong was definitely not an ordinary prince in the emperor's mind, so seeing the father and son froze at this moment, he hurried forward Come to persuade, not only gave the emperor a step, but also sold water-soluble favors.

Sighing heavily, the emperor said: "For today's sake, I will let you go again for the time being, and you will remember, Ku Yin, you continue to investigate, but if such a thing happens again, I will never let you go." Let you go, okay, let me back down."

Shui Rong bowed expressionlessly, turned and left, the slender and stubborn back deeply hurt the emperor's still glaring eyes.

Dai Quan quietly handed the emperor a cup of hot tea, and said: "The emperor has a sip of tea to calm down." Sighing, the emperor hated iron for being weak and said: "This kid is a careless master."

Dai Quan observed his words and said: "Prince Bei may be a little impatient about this matter, but it is also a public heart. Besides, today is a good day for the emperor, so why bother the emperor."

Without making a sound, the emperor just took a sip of tea slowly, and said after a while: "Dai Quan, you quietly send someone to the Liu Mansion to tell the old general that you can tell me if you have any difficulties. Even if you borrow it from me, I will help you." Yes, but the money owed to the Ministry of Accounts, he must pay me back."

Dai Quan said in a low voice: "I understand." After waving his hand, the emperor said: "Okay, step back and let me be quiet for a while."

Coming out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, some warm sunlight shone straight down, making Shui Rong slightly squint his eyes, but his heart still seemed to be oppressed and blocked.

The six sons approached cautiously, and said to Shui Rong: "My lord, His Royal Highness has already gone to the household department with Hu Shangshu, and there is no news from Shifeng yet."

Snorting softly, Shui Rong didn't make a sound, but he was thinking in his heart who was secretly obstructing him from running an errand, this time it seemed that it was intentional, could it be... .

Just as he was thinking, he saw Jing Wang Shui Cheng coming over, and said to Shui Rong, "Yi Bing, I was looking for you, let's go, let's go to Longqing Palace, they are all waiting there."

Shui Rong said indifferently: "I'm afraid I have disappointed Brother San Huang, Yi Bing still has something to deal with here." Shui Cheng said: "It's not too late to deal with anything tomorrow, as everyone said just now, I will not be drunk today. "

After finishing speaking, regardless of Shui Rong's gloomy and cold face, Shui Cheng said: "Let's go, the emperor's birthday, our brothers will naturally have a good drink." When the emperor was mentioned, and what happened just now, Shui Rong couldn't help but laugh at himself: " Well, it's rare to be happy today, let's have a drink."

Unknowingly, the banquet in Longqing Palace was already halfway through, and everyone at the banquet was drunk. After all, they were getting old, and because of what happened in the morning, the emperor ordered a few words, and then returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Shui Rong raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, then stood up and said, "Yi Bing still has something to do, so I'll take my leave first." Shui Cheng grabbed Shui Rong and said, "Today, my father said that I want to drink Have fun, Yi Bing, don’t run away, besides, it’s rare for everyone to be together, how can you not have fun.”

Turning his head, Shui Cheng said to the rest of the people: "Do you think so?" Although Shui Miao is not big, her voice is never lower than others, with an innocent smile on her ruddy face, she said loudly: "Naturally, What the third brother said is that I have ordered them to wait outside and take me back when I get drunk."

He only heard Shui Hao's gentle voice and said: "Old Jiu is still bold." Then, he walked over from the outside, dressed in a moon-white silver robe with dark patterns, which made him elegant and stable.
