Chapter 89: Wronged
The old doctor took the emperor's order and hurriedly left. Not long after, he turned back, with a strange expression on his face.
"Report to Your Majesty, I have carefully looked at it. Shanchengzi is not seriously injured."
Emperor Jingping pretended to be at ease:
"Since there is nothing wrong, let the monk come over quickly. The banquet begins immediately, but he hides in the tent. What kind of morality is it?"
Xiao Fangzhi's face below was green. If His Majesty had not been in front of him, he would not have been able to leave. Xiao Fangzhi really wanted to go directly to the tent and catch the unscrupulous son back.
"Your Majesty...Sir Xiao...He..."
"But it's okay, what's wrong with Xiao Zicheng?"
"When I arrived at the tent, Mr. Xiao was having a drink with the servant, and he was already drunk..."
The old doctor smashed his mouth and was still savoring the strange smell of the general's tears.
"What? Still having a drink?!" Emperor Jingping snorted, "Parent Li, go and call Xiao Zicheng."
Li Fan smiled at the corner of her mouth, bowed to Emperor Jingping, and hurriedly walked out of the tent.
At this moment, Deng Jian suddenly said:
"Report to Your Majesty, Shan Chengzi actually did not participate in the hunting at all, but kept hiding in the tent!"
As soon as these words came out, all the court officials below were stunned.
Xiao Zicheng didn't participate in the hunting? Instead, he stayed in the camp?
Seeing that the situation was wrong, Zhu Ying hurriedly stood up:
"Father, Lao Xiao didn't mean to do this..."
Xiao Fangzhi stood up in three or two steps and fell to the ground:
"The dog son is naughty, I hope your Majesty will forgive him!"
Seeing this, Deng Jian's eyes were full of pride and said sarcastically:
"Today is a winter hunting ceremony. Everyone is working hard to hunt, eliminating harm to the people and looking forward to good weather next year.
Xiao Zicheng was fine. Not only did he hide in the tent and eat wine, but he also didn't even attend the banquet.
Could it be that in Shan Chengzi's heart, eating wine is more important than Your Majesty?!"
Li You also bowed:
"Xiao Zicheng's actions are really a despise of the emperor's power. I also ask Your Majesty to punish Xiao Zicheng for his great disrespect to serve as a warning to others!!"
Zhu Ying couldn't help but look at the two of them who were singing together, but he also knew that Lao Xiao did something wrong.
If you continue to plead with mercy now, it will probably backfire. If you really annoy your father, it will really hurt Xiao Zicheng.
Thinking of this, Zhu Ying couldn't help but secretly warn Deng Jian and the others with his eyes, intending to shut up.
Deng Jian could not miss the opportunity in front of him, not to mention that he is not without his support at the moment.
Emperor Jingping looked calm and just looked at the noisy people below.
Xiao Fangzhi wanted to find a crack in the ground at this time, and he couldn't help but feel regretful in his heart. After all, he was too relieved about the rebellious son.
If he had known this, he would have brought Xiao Zicheng with him at the beginning of the hunting, and there would have been no disaster for the present.
The third prince Zhu Yong was not in a hurry to express his opinion, but just looked at Emperor Jingping's reaction.
After a moment, the third prince, who seemed to have got the answer, showed a smile on his face, and slowly left the list under the surprise gaze of everyone:
"When my father and son returned to Beijing, he passed by Changping County and heard about the deeds of Shanchengzi.
As far as my son knows, Shanchengzi returned to the capital a few days before the winter hunt, and it was quite difficult to get along the way.
My son thought that Shanchengzi must have been too tired when training troops, which was understandable.
I hope my father will forgive him this time for his contribution to the Shanchengzi's military training."
Deng Jian and the others, who were originally preparing to pursue the victory, were at a loss when they saw the third prince say this.
Emperor Jingping took a deep look at Zhu Yong. Before he could speak, Xiao Zicheng opened the curtain and walked in.
Everyone looked at each other.
Xiao Fangzhi even slapped him in the back of his head:
"Rebellious son! You are so brave. Your Majesty is hunting. How dare you stay in the camp?
It would be fine if you just do this, but you dare to drink in the tent!!
My Xiao family has been loyal and wise for generations, why did you become such a rebellious son? Hurry up and admit your mistake to His Majesty!"
After scolding, Xiao Fangzhi said in a voice that only two people could hear:
"Boy, the Deng family is holding you and not letting go. Fortunately, the third prince pleads for you. If you admit your mistake, you might be over. Don't be so angry..."
The conscience of heaven and earth, I was eating wine in the camp, and His Majesty also participated in this matter...
Xiao Zicheng rolled his eyes:
"Your Majesty didn't name him, let me go to the mountains to hunt?"
As soon as this sentence came out, Xiao Fangzhi was so angry that he was filled with smoke from his orifices. He widened his eyes and looked at his son panting.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, but Xiao Zicheng's sophistry also made some sense.
Emperor Jingping couldn't help but hold his forehead, but he did not order everyone to go to the mountains to hunt.
Seeing that Emperor Jingping did not respond, Xiao Zicheng immediately took advantage of the situation:
"Your Majesty, I am wronged... I did not participate in the hunting, but in fact I was preparing gifts and wanted to offer them to Your Majesty..."
When Emperor Jingping saw that he was like this, he was a little alert.
He had personally visited Xiao Zicheng's camp. Apart from the fresh food called hot pot, only the general's tears were worthy of praise.
Apart from these two things, there is nothing in the tent that can be taken out.
Suddenly, Emperor Jingping sneered, and he understood what Xiao Zicheng was going to send him.
This little monkey is really shocking.
Sure enough, Xiao Zicheng clapped his hands, and the dragon tent was lifted from outside. Wu Tian walked in with a copper pot.
There was still a lot of fresh venison in the copper pot.
"Your Majesty, this item is called hot pot. The meat in the pot is all freshly hunted venison today.
I have been busy for three hours and mixing secret dip water will definitely make Your Majesty enjoy the joy."
Xiao Zicheng took the hot pot to the desk very attentively, gently lifted the lid, and a faint fragrance suddenly filled the air.
"I am not good at hunting, but when I think of this cold weather, His Majesty will definitely be cold and hungry when he returns from hunting.
At this time, I would eat a bite of steaming venison and then a mouthful of general tears. It was a fairy-like enjoyment."
After Xiao Zicheng said that, he smiled and retreated.
Everyone was stunned, and Zhu Ying also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
Even when Xiao Fangzhi saw his son get this pot of stuff, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.
A bad guy, a ghost spirit.
Emperor Jingping was so angry that he was so funny that this little monkey was really accustomed to being sloppy.
"Okay, you are determined to be willing. I will forgive you for not guilty of this."
Xiao Zicheng smiled and hurriedly took a few steps back and fell to the ground:
"My memory, Xiao Zicheng thanked Your Majesty!"
Seeing that the matter was settled, the court officials had no reason to hold on. The old gods were sitting there, waiting for the banquet to begin.
Xiao Zicheng, who escaped the disaster, returned to the seat assigned to him, but felt a little difficult to calm down.
