Chapter 98 Want to seal the prince
(Two updates today... I vomited and had diarrhea last night... I sweated all night. When I woke up in the morning, my parents started quarreling again and shouted for divorce... I was really unintentional, so I took a break today... Sorry, sorry...!)
"Zhou Xing... Your Majesty has an order... to order you to enter the palace to see the emperor immediately."
"Young master, do you know what your Majesty is asking me for?" Zhou Xing had just come out of the palace, so he was a little confused about Wu Zetian kicking someone to summon him into the palace.
What made Zhou Xing feel a little embarrassed was that when Zhou Xing gave some silver beans to the eunuch, the eunuch told Zhou Xing that the emperor's grandson, Ang Lee beat the drum and sued Zhou Xing and Zhou Xing's nephew.
Zhou Xing was slightly shocked... However, Zhou Xing did not feel scared at this time, because Zhou Xing and Zhou Shen both believed that Ang Lee, the emperor's grandson, was just the same as other emperor's grandsons.
Although he was surprised by Ang Lee's knock on him, Zhou Xing did not take this matter seriously.
But just after Zhou Xing hurriedly entered the palace again, he came to the Mingtang of Wanxiang Palace and saw Ang Lee sitting next to Wu Zetian on the dragon throne. Although it was just a side, Zhou Xing was scared.
That was the dragon throne... Although Ang Lee was just sitting on one side, which emperor grandson had such honor to sit on the side, so Zhou Xing was shocked in his heart, and he felt that he might underestimate the emperor grandson.
"Zhou Xing... Meet Your Majesty..."
Zhou Xing knelt down in the Mingtang in two steps in three steps.
As soon as he knelt down, Wu Zetian shouted: "Zhou Xing, do you know your guilt?"
Zhou Xing looked up and said in panic: "Your Majesty... Zhou Xing doesn't know what crime he committed?"
"Indulge cousin... to abuse power and dereliction of duty... to insult the emperor's grandson... to be punished with death...!" Wu Zetian looked at Zhou Xing fiercely and said.
"No...no...no...no..." Zhou Xing kowtowed quickly and explained: "Your Majesty... I really don't know what you are talking about?"
"Zhou Shen is your cousin?" Wu Zetian asked coldly.
"Yes... Your Majesty, Zhou Shen is my cousin, and his father has something to do with me, so Weichen found him a doorman in the Ministry of Works...!"
"What a guardian errand in the Ministry of Works. Do you know that today your cousin who was guarding the Ministry of Works was solemnly arrested Zhen Ge, the official of Zhenjia Village, and returned to the Ministry of Justice.
What's even more hateful is that my grandson went to your Ministry of Justice to ask for someone, holding my gold medal, and your cousin actually turned away my grandson and said that my grandson was a wild breeder.
My grandson is a wild breeder, so what is I...are I a wild man?
Tell me, if it weren't for your instruction, would your cousin dare to be so arrogant and domineering?"
Wu Zetian was furious and Zhou Xing was so scared that his whole body trembled. He quickly kowtowed violently again and shouted: "Your Majesty is wronged, Your Majesty is wronged, Your Majesty... I am really wronged, I have never heard of these things, and I don't know at all. I have always respected Your Majesty's will.
I will never do those abuses of power, nor will I be disrespectful to the emperor and grandson. These things must be all done by Weichen's cousin, who did it privately in the name of Weichen, and it really has nothing to do with Weichen."
"It has nothing to do with you..." Wu Zetian looked at Zhou Xing and said, "Zhou Xing, you were promoted by me. Now you can become the Minister of Justice, and I can also destroy all your nine clans.
Now call Zhou Shen to the palace immediately and confront each other. If it is different from what you said, I will definitely kill you...!"
"Yes...yes..." Zhou Xing kowtowed in sweat at this time.
Di Renjie, Li Zhaode...When I look at Zhou Xing in such a mess at this time, I feel relieved. You have to know that many of my colleagues died at the hands of Zhou Xing. The two of them are even more thinking that if Zhou Shen comes later, the two of them confront each other differently and Wu Zetian directly kills Zhou Xing, it would be really satisfying.
Of course, unlike Di Renjie and Li Zhaode, Wu Chengsi, who was also standing on the Mingtang at this time, frowned because Zhou Xing was Wu Chengsi's loyal dog, and Wu Chengsi could not let Zhou Xing die.
"His Majesty the Majesty...!" Suddenly, Wu Chengsi stepped forward.
"What's wrong with you?" Wu Zetian looked at Wu Chengsi and asked.
"Your Majesty, I want to give up my respect... I can't hold it back?" Wu Chengsi bowed awkwardly.
Wu Zetian waved his hand in disgust and said, "Then you go back... It's the same if you are here or not...!"
"Yes... Thank you, His Majesty," Wu Chengsi was happy and hurriedly withdrew from Mingtang. However, Wu Chengsi used shit escape, but it wasn't really impossible to hold it in. If he wanted to save Zhou Xing, he left Mingtang in advance and went to find Zhou Shen.
Di Renjie and Li Zhaode also knew about Wu Chengsi's departure, but it was difficult to tell. After all, Wu Chengsi's bastard is still very powerful.
At this moment, Wu Zetian, who was sitting on the dragon throne, touched Ang Lee's head and said, "Di Qing, Li Qing, there are no outsiders here now. I am thinking about discussing something with you."
"Your Majesty, please say...!" Di Renjie and Li Zhaode bowed.
Wu Zetian looked at Ang Lee and said, "My grandson is pitiful... I have lived with his mother in the Qinling Mountains since I was a child. There was also a mother who depended on each other for life, but less than ten years old, her mother left again.
My miserable daughter left a more pitiful son like this.
My grandson has always lived alone, until not long ago, when I found him. I thought that if I found him, he would get better.
I dare not say that I will let my grandson be carefree, but I think I can prevent him from being bullied by anyone.
But now... my grandson doesn't rely on me, but has made a profitable bean sprout on his own. He sells vegetables for ten thousand guan every day. That's it. He still thinks about me and sends 5,000 guan to me every afternoon. He is such a filial child.
There are actually people who want to bully him and try his only bean sprout that makes money. OK... It's really good... So I want to clear my grandson's name, and I want to give him a prince's name."
"Puff..." After Wu Zetian finished speaking, Zhou Xing was almost frightened. Only then did Zhou Xing realize how terrible he had messed with. A grandson actually wanted to give the prince a title, which was even more unprecedented.
The nine ranks of the Tang Dynasty: one is the king, with a fief of ten thousand households, and a rank of the first rank; the second is the king of the heir, a county, with a fief of five thousand households, and a rank of the first rank; the third is the duke of the state, with a fief of three thousand households, and a rank of the first rank; the fourth is the duke of the state, with a fief of two thousand households, and a rank of the second rank; the fifth is the duke of the state, with a fief of one thousand households, and a rank of the second rank; the sixth is the duke of the state, with a fief of thousands of households, and a rank of the third rank; the seventh is the duke of the state, with a fief of seven hundred households, and a rank of the fourth rank; the eighth is the ninth is the maid of the state, with a fief of five hundred households, and a rank of five ranks; the ninth is the male of the state, with a fief of three hundred households, and a rank of five ranks.
The first king among them is the prince, who is the emperor's brother and prince, and can only be named Prince... The son of the crown prince is the prince; the son of the prince is the successor king, and the sons are the princes, and those who are promoted with kindness are the princes; the prince who succeeds the prince and inherits the king is the prince, and the princes are the princes.
According to convention, the son of Ang Lee, the eldest princess, cannot be granted the title of king...at most he is a duke, but Wu Zetian is the prince. Who can compete with this kind of favor?
