pamper you, make you bad

The next day, Taishi Xi's report was uploaded, which caused a sensation among the civil and military officials of the court, and there were many discussions.

The emperor seated on the upper seat was a little far away, unable to see his expression, but Grand Master Xi still straightened his waist.

"Does Grand Master know what I'm talking about?" Prime Minister Yao stood up and bowed to the top, "Your Majesty, I heard that the horses got out of control yesterday and caused the chaos. It wasn't the Second Prince's intention. I hope Your Majesty will find out."

"Prime Minister, Xi knows that the second prince is your son-in-law, but the emperor violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people." Taishi Xi glanced expressionlessly at the second prince not far away, then bowed to His Majesty, and said with a smile, "The second prince leads the way." His subordinates rode horses in the busy market, disturbing the order of the people. The people in the East Street all saw it. If His Majesty thinks it is not true, you can send someone to investigate. As for the horse that the prime minister said was out of control, the minister thinks it is even more interesting. Why is this horse so unreasonable? Coincidentally, they got out of control together and hit so many hawker stalls."

"The world is impermanent, why does the grand master think it is impossible?" Yao Cheng retorted, "The second prince is both civil and military, and his horse riding skills are even more superb. If the horse hadn't lost control, how could it have hit the stall?"

Taishi Xi pointed out something: "If you do it intentionally, you will naturally bump into it."

Prime Minister Yao said again: "Then I would like to ask Grand Master Xi to explain, why the Second Prince didn't go on the road, but insisted on bumping into these stalls, and even injured his arm?"

Grand Master Xi said: "Then you have to ask the second prince why he rode his horse in the street so that he fell on himself."

Yao Cheng has a high status and power, and most of the people in the court are his people. As for Xi Taishi, he is a celebrity in front of the Holy Master, and he is a first-rank official, and they have never dared to refute.Therefore, the two of you come and go, and other officials have no part to intervene.

"Okay." The emperor propped his chin and saw that the two of them were about to start fighting, and then he stopped him, "This is the court hall, not the vegetable market. How can the two lovers behave like this?"

Grand Master Xi quickly knelt down: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Prime Minister Yao just raised his hands in a bow, "Your Majesty, forgive me." After speaking, he returned to his seat.

The superior emperor saw it, and dissatisfaction quickly flashed across his eyes, but he also knew that Prime Minister Yao had a strong foundation and was supported by most of the officials. "Qi'er, what do you want to say?"

For this son, the emperor was very complicated.For some reason, his offspring were not abundant, and because of Feng Yuyi's mother and concubine, he was angry with Feng Yuyi, so he almost had a free-range policy for the eldest son. Only the two sons were supervised and studied from an early age, and worked hard to train them to be a wise king of the country. .It's just that I don't know when the second son, who was gentle and elegant when he was young, gradually became arrogant and defiant.

Feng Yuqi came out and said, "Father, it is my fault that I caused the people around me to lose control because of the horses. I already knew that I made a big mistake at that time, so I asked my subordinates to pay the corresponding amount of money, and I also ask my father to see clearly. .”

Grand Master Xi glanced at the bandaged arm, never expecting the other party to be so cruel.He remembered that the steward said that the other party was not injured at that time, so he could only say that the other party broke it to prove that "the horse was out of control", so he could only ask with a cold face: "Did His Highness take the initiative to ask his subordinates to pay for the money? Someone asked them to compensate?"

"Grand Master Xi's words are muddled. In the end, the prince will compensate the common people who have been implicated." Feng Yuqi looked at him with a half-smile, but it was decided that he would not dare to say more about Xi Yutong. , so as not to implicate the other party's reputation.

Xi Hongbo was silent.

"Okay." The emperor interrupted them, "At this time, you are the one who made the mistake first. You should stay in the palace and reflect on it for a few days, and you can't leave the palace without my permission. Come back, I will arrange a few more for you."

Although she just stayed in the palace to reflect for a few days, Feng Yuqi still looked at the grand master next to her with extreme displeasure.

The emperor didn't get a response, he lowered his head to see the fierce expression in his eyes, and frowned immediately: "You heard what I said."

Feng Yuqi quickly knelt down: "My son knows."

Grand Master Xi did not expect that Feng Yuqi would think of using the "broken arm" to shirk responsibility in advance. Looking at Prime Minister Yao, seeing the other party's smug face, the anger in his heart deepened.

"I also have an idea of ​​who to go to Huafu this time," the emperor said again, "It happened that Yi'er was leading the wedding team in Huafu, and after sending them off, he happened to go to Huafu to prevent locust plagues."

Prime Minister Yao's joy in defeating the Grand Master's army suddenly disappeared, and he subconsciously said, "Your Majesty, no."

The emperor looked at him calmly, and asked in a deep voice, "What's your opinion, Prime Minister?"

Prime Minister Yao's mind turned quickly, and he explained: "I just feel that Prince Yi is tired of sending the princess to marry him. At this time, the matter is not over yet, and the locust plague is so urgent. If Prince Yi can't catch up, the common people will suffer."

As soon as he finished speaking, most of the officials behind him stood up and said, "The minister seconded the proposal."

The emperor looked at them like this, didn't say anything, but looked at the other person: "What do you think, Grand Master?"

Xi Hongbo cupped his hands, bowed his waist, and replied: "I think your majesty's move is feasible. The marriage team has set out for many days, arrived at Huafu as early as, and now it is about finished. The prime minister also said that time is tight, and Prince Yi happened to be in Huafu If the precautionary measures are implemented immediately, the time of sending officials to Huafu can be saved."

He knew that Prime Minister Yao couldn't let him take the credit, so he didn't have any extravagant hopes.It's just that he thought that the emperor would assign this job of earning popular support to the second prince, but he was surprised when he heard that it was for the first prince.

However, the second prince bullied Xi Yutong in the downtown area first, and he didn't like him, so it just happened to suit the emperor's wishes.

Just like what he thought, Feng Yuqi also thought that this good job would fall on her, but she didn't expect that her brother would snatch it away, so she subconsciously stood up, "Father, son—" As soon as he raised his head, he was right With a dissatisfied look in his eyes, the Shang Emperor's heart trembled and sank.

"That's what I mean too." The emperor waved his hand as if he didn't hear what he said, "I've already sent a secret decree by flying pigeons, so you don't need to say anything."

Grand Master Xi was the first to kneel down: "Your Majesty is wise, and I have no objection."

Officials who were friendly with him also knelt down together.With the beginning, and the emperor's decree, other officials also knelt down one after another, and in the end it was Prime Minister Yao and Feng Yuqi.

Then, the emperor ordered several officials behind Prime Minister Yao to come out and send them over together as assistants.

Dogs will bite people when they are in a hurry, let alone Prime Minister Yao.Since he had appointed Feng Yuyi as the main person in charge, he still had to choose someone from the other party to appease the other party.

After this matter was finished, other matters were discussed, and the court was considered to be over.

When the prime minister went to court, he didn't go back to the mansion directly, but went to Feng Yuqi's palace.

As soon as Feng Yuqi saw him, she waved away the servants around her, and complained loudly: "Uncle, what happened to Father? He actually gave the job of preventing locust plagues to that guy. Is it that the downtown area is so hot that Father is so hot?" Angry?"

"Your Highness, you don't need to worry too much." Prime Minister Yao reassured, "There are many people who have seen things in the downtown area. If Your Majesty wants to know, he will naturally know, but His Majesty did not explain, nor how to punish you. That means he I still care about you. Otherwise, if it were Prince Yi, today’s punishment would not be so simple. Your Majesty should be angry, if you are honest for a few days, you will naturally forget these trivial matters in a few days."

Feng Yuqi thought about it too, but she couldn't figure it out: "Since you like me, why are you taking advantage of Feng Yuyi?"

Prime Minister Yao felt that he was unlucky, and shook his head: "You were grounded just now, so it is impossible to arrange for you to go there."

Feng Yuqi's face darkened immediately: "Then it's so cheap for Feng Yuyi? Both the marriage and the locust plague are no small credit."

Prime Minister Yao patted him on the shoulder, implying: "It has been many days now, have you seen the news of the marriage team returning to the court?"

Feng Yuqi was taken aback: "Is there something wrong with this marriage?"

"Things like accidents..." Prime Minister Yao lowered his eyes to hide the fierceness in his eyes, "Who knows. As long as the marriage fails, Prince Yi will not be able to take charge of the locust plague, and he will naturally have to change people in the end."

Feng Yuqi's eyes lit up, but when she thought of something, she frowned again: "It's just that we can arrange for someone to go there now, is there still time?"

"Of course we can't arrange it now." Seeing the other party suddenly realize, Prime Minister Yao smiled, "I will make arrangements for this matter, Your Highness, just be honest for a few days to appease His Majesty's heart, there is no need to worry about other things, the crown prince is yours after all."

Hearing what he said, Feng Yuqi felt relieved: "Then it will be Uncle Lao."

Prime Minister Yao nodded, "If there is nothing wrong, then I will retire first."

"Uncle, go slowly." Feng Yuqi sent him out, and then came back.

Seeing his displeasure, the eunuchs serving him didn't dare to say anything, and waited carefully.

In the past half an hour, Feng Yuqi, who was sitting and thinking about things, just made a move, and called the personal eunuch: "Go and pass a message to the queen mother, let her call the ladies from all families into the palace tomorrow..."

On the other side, Grand Master Xi left the court, said goodbye to all his friends, and then returned to the mansion.

"Father, you are finally back." Xi Yutong was worried because he knew that he was going to play Feng Yuqi, and he was relieved to see him come back safely, "Dad, why do you look so ugly?"

Xi Hongbo shook his head, pulled her into the mansion, briefly talked about what happened early today, and then sighed: "Father, I never expected that Prime Minister Yao would let the prince break his arm in advance, so that the matter of riding a horse in this busy city Blame it on the horses getting out of control."

Xi Yutong was amazed at their ruthless methods, and was amazed by their ruthlessness. Seeing her father's anger, she comforted her and said, "Daddy, this matter is already good. The second prince is the candidate for the crown prince in His Majesty's heart. It is impossible for such a trivial matter to change his mind and make too much Great punishment." But "a dike of a thousand miles is destroyed by an ant's nest", these dissatisfied things happened one after another, until the other party made all kinds of absurd things for the prince one after another, the emperor's care was smoothed out, and Feng When Yu Qi was crippled.

"I know it as a father." Xi Hongbo sighed, and then remembered something, "Didn't you go to the palace to practice martial arts today? Why are you still at the palace?"

Xi Yutong explained: "My daughter is worried about her father, so she sent someone to explain that she will start practicing martial arts tomorrow."

"What a silly girl, what else can Daddy go to court?" Xi Hongbo laughed, but he had already asked for leave, so he couldn't say anything more, but told Xi Yutong not to make excuses not to go tomorrow.

Xi Yutong said "yes" with a smile, talked to his father again, and then left and went back to the yard.

Just before he was comfortable for a while, eunuchs came to the palace, and there was a rumor that the queen would invite ladies from various families to enjoy the flowers in the garden.

"Excuse me, father-in-law." Xi Yutong cast a glance, seeing Xiaotao stuffing a few pieces of silver and sending him away, then his face darkened.

Xiaohe was worried: "Miss, the queen is the queen of the second prince's mother, and now she suddenly invites her into the palace, but what is her intention?"

Xiaotao sent the eunuch away and came back, and she answered after hearing it: "The weasel pays the chicken a New Year's greeting, it's uneasy and kind."

"I'm not invited tomorrow, but there are other women, even if they make trouble, I'm not afraid." Xi Yutong frowned, "It's another thing that I'm more rare."

Xiaohe and Xiaotao were puzzled, wondering what could be more important than this.

Xi Yutong glanced at them, and then sighed: "I just promised my father that I will not postpone my martial arts training tomorrow, and this palace has come to order, which really slaps me in the face."

Only then did Xiaohe and Xiaotao come to their senses. Seeing her sour face, they both laughed.

"Smile and smile." Xi Yutong said with a straight face, "Xiao Tao, go to Yi Wang's Mansion to ask for leave for me. If there is nothing else, I can go there in the next day or so."

She didn't dare to say it too absolutely, because she was afraid that something that she couldn't refuse would happen again, and it would be bad if she couldn't go there.

Xiaotao quickly restrained her smile: "Yes, Miss."
