Chapter 102: You Can't Be Lowkey
In this competition, Chen Xiao undoubtedly became a dark horse. The young master Jiang Yu looked ashen. In the competition, he was originally the protagonist, but he was rampant and turned himself into a stepping stone.
But it's useless to regret now. Chen Xiao just pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, so he can only retreat unwillingly.
The emperor glanced at Chen Xiao in surprise and said, "I really didn't expect you to be a civil and military genius!"
Chen Xiao said proudly: "Your Majesty is too proud. I have always been low-key. If you hadn't asked me to write poetry, I wouldn't have shown my talent.
If the young master hadn't insisted on competing with me, I wouldn't have exposed my martial arts. Alas... Now, everyone knows that I am both civil and military, and I can't be as good as a low-key person!"
Long Jiuling smiled, and Princess Yelan curled her lips.
Everyone was speechless, the emperor looked down and said:
"You go back quickly... I can't stand it anymore..."
Chen Xiao's face shook, thinking that he had a few words of pretentiousness and didn't say anything...
When he returned to his seat, the prefect said happily: "Oh, Mr. Chen, you have given our government a face!"
Chen Xiao smiled slightly: "Ji Jiao Wu Liu!"
I have been playing with literature and martial arts. The next step is singing and dancing performances. Everyone should eat and drink.
The Ninth Princess sat next to the emperor, and the emperor glanced at her and said, "Be content with peace of mind and pay attention to your identity!"
The Ninth Princess curled her lips and said, "Father, what do you mean?"
"I have no meaning!" the emperor spoke.
After the singing and dancing, Chen Xiao also had enough food and drink. At this time, the emperor suddenly attacked:
"Chen Xiao!"
Chen Xiao suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty?"
"You come out!" the emperor said lightly.
Chen Xiao came out happily and stepped forward and bowed: "Your Majesty, do you want to talk about me and Jiuer?"
"Dream, I want to ask you a question!" the emperor said seriously.
Chen Xiao was puzzled: "What?"
"Did you cheat the Seventh Prince of 100,000 taels of silver?" the emperor spoke.
As soon as these words came out, the seventh prince was moved to tears. He looked at the emperor and thought to himself: "The father still loves me..."
Chen Xiao said seriously: "No!"
The emperor narrowed his eyes: "Tell the truth!"
Chen Xiao blinked his big eyes: "It's really not!"
The emperor snorted: "Do you think I am as easy to fool as the seventh prince?"
The touching Seventh Prince was speechless: “…………”
At this time, Concubine Rui stood up, bowed to the emperor, and then said to Chen Xiao:
"Mr. Chen, the emperor's son is stupid and offensive. It is reasonable for him to have a long memory."
The emperor glanced at Concubine Su and then looked at the Seventh Prince, thinking that your mother is not stupid either. Is it a big mistake for you to be so stupid?
No, no, I don't blame me.
Concubine Liu's words were obviously a test of Chen Xiao like digging a hole. It depends on how Chen Xiao answered.
Chen Xiao’s answer means that he has taught the Seventh Prince a lesson, which means that the Seventh Prince was cheated by you, Chen Xiao.
But Chen Xiao is not stupid. He bowed to Concubine Rui and said:
"The Empress is so arrogant. The Seventh Prince and I have only misunderstandings and there is no conflict. Where does the saying that the officials let him remember? Besides, he is the prince and I am a little minister. How dare I give him a memory..."
This answer immediately left Chen Xiao cleared up.
Concubine Rui smiled gently: "As for this reason, my prince told me that he had conflicts with Lord Chen Xiao, was he lying to me?"
Chen Xiao smiled and looked at the Seventh Prince and said, "Oh? Your Highness the Seventh Prince said so? Your Highness the Seventh Prince, there should be only misunderstandings between us, no conflicts, right?"
The Seventh Prince was confused, how did he answer?
Concubine Rui was also confused. She guided everywhere and tried Chen Xiao, hoping that Chen Xiao would reveal flaws in her verbal answers.
But Chen Xiao threw the topic to the Seventh Prince. How could the Seventh Prince be as meticulous as Concubine? He knew how to answer a hammer.
In his eyes, there is only face...
So I thought about it, if there is a conflict in the answer, what conflict is there? I slapped him in the face twice? Was he deceived by Chen Xiao?
It is even more embarrassing to say these two contradictions, and it is even more embarrassing to say them, and the other is saying them. Without evidence, what can he do?
So he took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Chen and I have a misunderstanding. Mother, it was indeed the emperor who misunderstood him last time!"
Concubine Su sighed, and the emperor sighed.
Obviously, with the help of the emperor and Concubine Rui, the seventh prince was defeated.
This time, the Seventh Prince himself smoothed out the matter to Chen Xiao. What else can the emperor and Concubine Rui do?
The emperor and Concubine Rui looked at each other and were puzzled. Why did they give birth to this stupid son? Where is the problem?
However, it is not entirely possible to blame the Seventh Prince. Chen Xiao’s answers to the emperor and Concubine Rui were impeccable. The three of them went back and forth, and no one could do anything to each other.
So Chen Xiao threw the topic to the Seventh Prince, and let the Seventh Prince, who was already fascinated by the authorities, end the topic by himself.
So the emperor took a deep breath and said, "Since the Seventh Prince himself said he was just a misunderstanding with you, then...get back..."
Chen Xiao smiled, turned around and took a few steps, and suddenly looked at the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice who was sitting and eating chicken legs.
Chen Xiao suddenly walked over and squatted down: "You have a big heart, can you still eat it?"
The right assistant minister put down his chicken legs and looked at Chen Xiao and said:
"Chen...Prison Chen, give me a chance..."
Chen Xiao smiled: "I can give you a chance to live, a corrupt official, and you can also give those who are guilty of being alive.
But...who gives innocent people who are caught by you as scapegoats a chance to live?"
"List……"
What else does the right assistant minister want to say?
Chen Xiao suddenly stood up and headed forward.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
The emperor was puzzled and said, "Officer Chen, don't say that you don't have the power to come to me. Even if you can, you have to see what occasion it is, right? What are you talking about in this Mid-Autumn Festival party!"
Chen Xiao suddenly became serious and said, "Your Majesty, as a sixth-rank official, I am not qualified to see you. If this is the case, then there are some things that you may never know in your life!
But, since I saw Your Majesty today, I must report this matter today. Yes, today is a festival, a festival for everyone to gather, but there are people here on this festival!"
Seeing Chen Xiao’s attitude, the emperor was a little embarrassed to come to Taiwan to be honest. He said that he would not talk about business today, so you have to talk about it?
"Official Chen, everyone is happy with the party today. Wouldn't it be good? I allow you to enter the palace and you can talk to me tomorrow." The emperor said.
Chen Xiao was very stubborn and said, "I can't be happy when I get together with such a person. Your Majesty, you shouldn't be happy if you have such a minister!"
"You..." The emperor stared at Chen Xiao, and after a while, he had no choice but to speak:
"What the hell are you going to say?"
Chen Xiao took out the document from his sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, please read it!"
The eunuch took the document to the emperor. The emperor looked at it and said: Impeach the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice.
After washing, he opened the document and took a look, the emperor frowned and his face darkened.
