Chapter 283 The difference between the ruler and the minister
The emperor remembered last night.
It was the hour of Du Xu, and Lou Yan actually came to ask for a meeting.
He has always abides by the rules and will not disturb him if the palace gate is closed. It is definitely very important to do this.
As expected, Lou Yan apologized as soon as he came.
"What's wrong with you?" the emperor asked with a smile, "What did you do to me?"
Lou Yan lowered his head: "I did something sorry for Your Majesty."
He answered seriously, and the emperor couldn't help but smile.
"what happened?"
Lou Yan said: "Princess Kang was robbed by bandits."
"What?" the emperor was incredible, "Where did the bandits come from the capital? How could my aunt be robbed? What about the guards of Prince Kang's mansion? Are they all dead? Where are the people now? Can they be rescued?"
"The person has been rescued, and he was only a little scared." Lou Yan paused for a moment and continued, "What Your Majesty asked is the key. There are no bandits in the capital, and Princess Kang was not really robbed, but stolen by someone."
The emperor heard the hint in his words: "What does it mean?"
Lou Yan looked at him: "The person who was going to rob the bandit at the beginning was not Princess Kang, but... the eldest princess's adorable daughter, Miss Chi."
The emperor had also seen internal conflicts among wealthy families, and this sentence made him understand.
"Who is it?"
"Xiao Family."
"Xiao Da?"
Lou Yan nodded.
The emperor almost didn't ask why he wanted to arrest Princess Kang because it was Xiao Da.
"The eldest princess went to save the person and brought Princess Kang out on the spot. It must have been banned now, but it was too much to preach it in advance, so this matter cannot be hidden." Lou Yan lowered his head, "I failed to stop the eldest princess, I am guilty."
"you……"
"My mother and the eldest princess are in love with each other, and I have helped find someone." Lou Yan said, "The eldest princess's attitude has been much more relaxed. In the past six months, he has been getting close to His Majesty a lot. As soon as this matter happened, she pushed her to the opposite side again. I am ashamed of His Majesty's trust."
The emperor opened his mouth, thinking that the eldest princess was too much, and when he said this, he suddenly remembered it.
The eldest princess originally hated their family. After he ascended the throne, he avoided Chaofang Palace to show his attitude. After accepting his adopted daughter, he gradually became more and more angry and began to enter the palace. He even mentioned him about the matter of Xianfei, which allowed him to gradually gain power in the court.
But now, because of such a ridiculous thing, the eldest princess has once again stayed away from him.
The emperor couldn't help but feel depressed.
Why do these people always drag him down?
...
Prince Kang was speechless.
For the first time, he knew that the emperor was so eloquent and kept him speechless.
"His Majesty……"
"Brother, don't let me down again." The emperor said, "Let's just go through this. We are certainly embarrassed, but it is inappropriate to take revenge on my aunt now."
Prince Kang couldn't help but ask: "Why is it inappropriate?"
The emperor said: "My birthday is coming soon. King Xining and King Beixiang both submitted congratulations and requested to come to Beijing to celebrate their birthday. At this time, if something happens to my aunt, it may cause unnecessary trouble."
Prince Kang felt uncomfortable.
This time the confrontation, he found that the emperor was really not what he used to be.
He heard his words, with reasonable and thorough consideration, even if his father comes, he can't make any mistakes, right?
Prince Kang finally bowed and said, "Your Majesty said, I will take my leave first."
The emperor nodded: "Brother, go."
Prince Kang left the palace and returned to the mansion in silence.
The princess came forward: "My mother has woken up and said she was knocked out by someone accidentally. She didn't know anything. I didn't dare to tell the truth. Prince, what do you think?"
Prince Kang calmed down and nodded: "That's it."
The princess asked again: "Will you still send your mother back to Zhuangzi? I see that my mother is very happy. If I send it back..."
"Then I won't give it to you." Prince Kang said, "You are very good at taking care of me. Occasionally, I call a few old men from the royal family to chat with her. Don't mention what happened yesterday, so that she will think she has been thieves."
"yes."
Seeing that he looked wrong, the princess asked with concern: "Why is the prince unhappy? Is it not going well to enter the palace?"
Prince Kang was still very satisfied with this legitimate wife.
The father was not satisfied with his wife and was particularly attentive in his marriage. The princess looked dignified and virtuous, and could help both inside and outside, and was also knowledgeable and tactful.
When Prince Kang was upset, he was happy to talk to her.
He glanced at the maids and said in a complicated mood when they all went out: "The sixth brother is different!"
The princess thought about it for a while and asked, "Your Majesty?"
Prince Kang nodded: "I am the chief of the emperor and should be left to inherit the family business. He was the same year as Prince Xian, so he was sent to the palace for granted. I didn't think much before and was devoted to helping my father. Now..."
The princess understood. She knew the psychological journey of Prince Kang during the ten years of marriage.
He was a strong-willed person and followed King Kang. He was determined to seize the throne, but he thought that King Yi'an would succeed to the throne, and that King Kang's mansion would gain power.
Now that the emperor gradually became like a monarch, he realized the difference.
If the Kang Prince’s Mansion gains power, it does not mean that he gains power.
There is only one emperor, and no one wants to share this authority with others.
"Criminal, isn't this a matter of course?"
Prince Kang was stunned and looked at her.
The princess smiled and said, "Even if he was promoted to the throne, the difference between the monarch and the subject will eventually become a gap."
Prince Kang's expression moved slightly.
"Your Majesty is gentle and is just a majesty for the Lord, and he will not be offended by others. Just like the previous Concubine Liu Jie, the one he fought with you was not a woman, but in one breath."
When Prince Kang heard her talk about Liu Sisi, he felt a little uncomfortable: "Actually, I don't care about that woman."
The princess smiled and said, "The prince doesn't need to explain. Those women are just entertainment toys for you, I understand."
Prince Kang nodded comfortably.
He likes the prince's concubine the most, and he never is meaninglessly jealous and can tell the difference.
She brought the topic back: "In theory, it is not difficult to deal with with his personality. Now he is the king and you are a minister. If you do your duty as a minister, Your Majesty will definitely reward the prince with great kindness."
Prince Kang's eyes flashed.
The duty of being a minister...
After a moment of silence, he asked, "What if, I don't want to?"
The princess said, "You must not be reluctant now. Your status has been determined. No matter the princes in the court or the people in the world, they do not want to see an existence above the emperor. This is why the prince is hitting walls everywhere."
Speaking of this, she gently said, "Don't forget why the father left Beijing."
Prince Kang's body shook, and his hands on the chair tightly closed.
He was really wrong.
His father was forced to leave Beijing, so what confidence did he have to think he could?
