Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Regardless of whether it was true or not, everyone walked away in fear, gathering in groups of three or four, frowning and sighing.

The prince looked at their backs with a gloomy expression. He shifted his gaze slightly, glanced from a distance at Chen Duo who was standing by a door, and nodded slightly.

Chen Duo disappeared.

In addition to the old nobles, there are also royal family members.

While the Crown Prince was having a heart-to-heart talk with these people, Emperor Shengping summoned Prince Zhongyong and Prince Kang, the Chief Minister of the Zongzheng Temple, to the Daming Palace, and asked Prince Kang to bring his eldest grandson Shen Kuang as well.

No one knows how Emperor Shengping manipulated the situation, but in the end, Prince Kang resigned from his position as a minister and went home to wait for his great-grandson. The Zongzheng Temple fell into the hands of the one-armed Prince Zhongyong, and Shen Kuang, the eldest grandson of Prince Kang, was given a position as a director of the Ministry of War and entered the ministry to study.

The King of Loyalty and Bravery was also once the bravest of the three armies, and he had many old acquaintances in the Ministry of War. He was also a straightforward person, and after leaving the palace, he took Shen Kuang straight to the Ministry of War, found two doctors, three assistant doctors and four chief officials, and patted Shen Kuang on the shoulder and said:

"This is my nephew! Tomorrow the imperial decree comes down, and he will come to the Ministry of War to serve. Watch out, if anyone dares to bully him, I will slap him in the face!

"But if this kid doesn't live up to his expectations, doesn't learn his job well, and follows others to do stupid things, you can tell me and I will slap him in the face myself!"

Several people were originally looking at Shen Kuang with vigilance, but after hearing the last sentence, they all laughed.

Immediately, two people who were obviously transferred from the army hugged Shen Kuang's shoulders carelessly and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, we will take care of it!"

Shen Kuang put his heart back in his stomach, his heart was beating fast, his face was excited, and he hurried over to the loyal and brave king and asked, "Uncle, can I buy you a drink?"

King Zhongyong hurriedly lowered his head and counted with his fingers.

Everyone in the military department burst into laughter, and someone winked at Shen Kuang, "Not today! The prince can only drink on the fifth and tenth day of each month! Today is only the twenty-second, and we have to wait three days!"

Shen Kuang was confused.

Someone kindly smiled and whispered to him: "The prince is in pain, and the princess doesn't allow him to drink too much..."

Shen Kuang suddenly realized, and couldn't help but laugh along with everyone else: "Uncle, that's perfect, I'll go home and kowtow to Auntie after I get off work on the 25th, and then I'll invite you later."

King Zhongyong smiled happily: "That's great! This way she will definitely let me out!"

When he returned home, Shen Kuang excitedly told his grandfather and father about the situation in the Ministry of War.

His father, Crown Prince Shen Zhu, was overjoyed: "It is said that the King of Brave can do a great job in the Ministry of War. With his help, Kuang'er's mission will surely go smoothly!"

King Kang glanced at his son with pity, snorted, and asked his eldest grandson, "Have you figured out anything?"

Shen Kuang was at a loss.

King Kang kicked him and said, "Don't act stupid at this time!"

Shen Kuang laughed, touched the back of his head, lowered his voice, and said:

"The Emperor is well aware that Prince Yong is trying to avoid suspicion. He would be more comfortable in the Ministry of War, but he insisted on changing his position to the Zongzheng Temple with his grandfather.

"This is the Emperor protecting the King."

Prince Kang nodded in approval, looked at his frightened son, glared at him with disdain, then changed his expression to a friendly one and said to his eldest grandson, "Your Majesty is extremely cunning, and ordinary people cannot fathom it.

"But the prince is simple. One look at him and you'll know he's not someone you can get along with easily!

“Look at how he treated Wang Liangdi and Lin Yude, and think about his attitude toward Wang Liangdi’s family and Lin Yude’s family of birth. You can see that he only cares about whether a person is useful or not.

"What favors, what in-laws? He doesn't even have face!"

Shen Kuang nodded and said, "Grandson knows. From now on, just keep a low profile and do your job in peace."

King Kang nodded, sighed again, touched Shen Kuang's head, and said sadly: "You are my most proud grandson, and I wanted to marry you the most virtuous wife.

“But due to my negligence back then, the emperor hated our family.

"If I hadn't wanted to find a way for his other son to survive, I'm afraid he would have kept me in this position until I died, and would have crushed you to death as well.

"Fortunately, you now have a future. I will ask your grandmother and mother to arrange a marriage for you right away."

After all, he was his own son, so Shen Zhu couldn't help but interrupt: "He's already this age, so why not wait a little longer? Wait a year or two, until he's promoted to the sixth or seventh rank?"

King Kang spat and said, "Aren't you afraid of waiting until the dragon dies? With the prince's narrow mind, if he wants to express his filial piety, the royal family will have to accompany him in mourning for at least a year!

“Your son is the eldest grandson, if he drags his feet it means his brothers will have to follow suit!

"Before I close my eyes, I have to make arrangements for the children - otherwise, do you think your nephew will rely on you? Can you count on a useless uncle like you?!"

Shen Zhu shut up awkwardly.

Shen Kuang laughed and nodded in agreement: "It's all up to Grandfather."

The Kangwang Mansion was full of joy, so we won’t talk about it.

After Prince Su and Prince Kang took action, other members of the royal family also started to have their own ideas.

The next day, King Jing stopped the crown prince in the court, took him aside and asked him about his well-being, and then asked for an official position for his grandson.

The prince was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and he directly helped his uncle into the Purple Palace to meet Emperor Shengping.

Emperor Shengping glared at him, waved his hand and told him to get out, then chatted with King Jing for half an hour with a smile on his face, but refused to promise him any real position, and even did not offer him any meal, and asked Dai Quan to see him off.

King Jing couldn't help but complain to Dai Quan.

Dai Quan smiled and persuaded: "Why are you in such a hurry? His Majesty will abdicate next month. When the new emperor ascends the throne, I don't know how many new tasks he will have to do - take your time and you'll have a happy ending!"

King Jing thought it made sense and went back happily.

After returning to the East Palace, the prince sat in the Lizheng Hall in a daze.

Qinghai carefully brought him some tea and asked, "Will Wang Liangdi be summoned to serve dinner tonight?"

"No." The prince finally came back to his senses, sighed, and said, "One move affects the whole body. I feel tired."

Where is this?

I will ascend the throne next month, and that will be really tiring!

Qing Hai changed the subject: "Otherwise, why do we say that our emperor is so powerful! Since he ascended the throne, there have been so many things to deal with. He has been in charge of the world for forty-five years, and except for the matter of deposing the crown prince, he has never failed."

The prince gave a bitter smile, scratched his face, and snorted, "Stop being so sarcastic! How can I compare to my father?"

"Your Highness, your brain has been strained all day, why not have some tonic food for dinner?" Qing Hai didn't respond.

The prince shook his head and stood up: "Let's go and see Brother Tao. I will have dinner with them tonight."

Cheng'en Hall.

When the Crown Princess heard about the Zongzheng Temple, she frowned and nodded reluctantly: "Prince Yong is a straightforward person. It would be a good thing if the Zongzheng Temple can act vigorously in the future."

Aunt Han smiled and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

The Crown Princess glared at her, but her mood improved a little. She supported her ribs and stretched out her hand to Aunt Han: "I'm tired of lying down. I want to get up and walk around."

Gan Lan hurried forward to help: "Madam, I'll do it!"

Aunt Han retracted her outstretched hand and smiled more deeply, "Speaking of which, Zhou Fengyi from the Buddhist Hall seems to be able to move freely.

"Why don't you pick a day for Your Majesty to summon the concubines of the Eastern Palace?"
