Tyrant [Rebirth]

The next day the emperor really dealt with Chu Shaoruan, but because of his face, the emperor did not make public the fact that Chu Shaoruan had framed Chu Shaoling. After leaving his errand in the Ministry of War, he was placed under house arrest in the Tanghe Palace to think about his mistakes, and he was not allowed to return to the imperial city without an edict.

Concubine Li will be punished for her bad upbringing. From now on, Concubine Li's title will be revoked and she will be demoted to the rank of concubine.

The emperor's disposition was already in Chu Shaoling's expectation. As long as Chu Shaoruan did not offend the emperor's own interests, the emperor would not really touch him. In the last life, Chu Shaoling also involved Chu Shaoruan in the conspiracy case. It's still early to pull Chu Shaoruan off his horse.

Compared with Chu Shaoling's indifferent approach, Wei Ji was rarely angry. The father-in-law next to the emperor came to pass the news, Wei Ji kept his lips tightly pressed, and his hands were tightly clenched. Seeing that Wei Ji's face turned pale, Chu Shaoling quickly pulled him away. Come to me, coaxing: "What's the matter? Talk..."

Wei Ji only felt that thousands of karmic fires were burning in his heart, and said in a hoarse voice: "Chu Shaoruan dared to murder the prince, but he was only under house arrest, he..."

"You still expect the emperor to kill him?" Chu Shaoling let Wei Ji sit down, took him in his arms and gently stroked Wei Ji's back, and said slowly, "Do you still remember the matter of plowing by yourself last year? Check, in fact, it was Chu Shaoruan and the Zhen family who joined hands to kill me. The emperor knew about it, but what happened later? The emperor didn't touch Chu Shaoruan at all, but took away Zhen Jiaxin's position as Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Compared with this time, the treatment was much more ruthless. This is also because many people in Linxi Tower saw it at that time, and the empress dowager personally interrogated him. The emperor had to deal with him. Think about it, how could the emperor be so cruel? To punish Chu Shaoruan?"

Wei Ji looked at Chu Shaoling, he didn't quite understand, Chu Shaoling didn't understand what Chu Shaoling said, if someone else Chu Shaoling didn't bother to pay attention, but this is Wei Ji, Chu Shaoling didn't feel impatient and felt even more pity, pity his Wei Ji is simple-minded and doesn't understand these things.Chu Shaoling held Wei Ji's hand and explained carefully: "Look, among these princes, who is more likely to win the crown prince?"

Without even thinking about it, Wei Ji said, "Of course it's Your Highness."

Chu Shaoling laughed, rubbed Wei Ji's head, and said: "There is also Chu Shaoruan. Originally, Chu Shaoyang also had some hopes, but the emperor has already sent him to the fief. As long as Chu Shaoruan and I are alive, he is useless." ..."

"Your Highness, don't speak nonsense!" Wei Ji couldn't help interrupting Chu Shaoling, "Your Highness will naturally live forever."

Chu Shaoling smiled and continued: "Well, Chu Shaoruan and I are the most hopeful now. If the emperor kills Chu Shaoruan at this time or takes away his position as the prince of Tianhuang, among the princes, it is Your Royal Highness is dominating alone, and this is the last thing the emperor wants to see."

"The emperor didn't do this just because he didn't like me. I hadn't been close to him since I was a child. He was very jealous of me. He was afraid that after Chu Shaoruan fell, I would treat him as an opponent, and one day I would force the palace to take him directly. Now he would like to see me and Chu Shaoruan fighting against each other." Chu Shaoling sneered, "He will not give up Chu Shaoruan until the critical moment. The last time he let Zhen Jiaxin take the top of the tank, this time it is Severely punishing Concubine Li, abandoning the pawns to save the car, he is reluctant to part with Chu Shaoruan."

Wei Ji was stunned for a moment, then said for a while: "Then let's forget it..."

"Of course not." Chu Shaoling sneered, "I remember it all, how could I let him go so easily... Although Chu Shaoruan was only placed under house arrest this time, it was enough for him. As long as I don't let go, the emperor will You can't let Chu Shaoruan go back to the imperial city easily, there is nothing wrong with house arrest, and he is most worried about not being able to participate in politics."

Wei Ji was still angry, Chu Shaoling rubbed Wei Ji's head and coaxed: "It's nothing, there will be more things like this in the future, I'm not angry with you, let alone worry about it, I will remember these accounts. That's fine. , you don’t see such a big temper on weekdays?”

Wei Ji bowed his head, and said for a while: "As a minister, the king will worry about the work of the minister, and the king will humiliate the minister to death."

"What are you talking about!" Chu Shaoling scolded, "You are loyal. I didn't punish you for what happened that day. You are even worse. I learned these words after reading a few "Mandarin". When I go back, I will talk to Zhang Lifeng. Go ahead and tell me, you are loyal enough, I don’t want to teach you these things on weekdays, what are you doing at such a young age?!”

Wei Ji pursed his lower lip and did not speak, he was still very resentful in his heart, he was angry with the emperor for being biased, he was angry with Chu Shaoruan for daring to hurt Chu Shaoling, and he was even more angry with himself for being so soft-spoken and unable to help at all.

Chu Shaoling was also unwilling to show his face to Wei Ji, and instead said: "You said just now that I am the most likely to be crowned prince, are you willing to let me be the emperor?"

Wei Ji nodded: "Yes."

Chu Shaoling chuckled, teasing him on purpose: "Being the emperor is very busy, I don't have much time to accompany you anymore, and I still want to marry so many concubines, from the Sangong and Sixth Courtyards, are you willing?"

Wei Ji was stunned for a moment, he naturally didn't want this to happen, but Wei Ji still nodded: "Yes, if Your Highness cannot become emperor...no matter which other prince succeeds, His Highness will not be tolerated."

Who said that Wei Ji doesn't know anything, as long as he knows everything about himself, Chu Shaoling's heart warmed, and he said in a low voice: "You're kidding, even if I become the emperor, I won't accept concubines." , you alone are enough for me to worry about, how can I care about others?"

Wei Ji laughed when he heard the words, Chu Shaoling said in a low voice: "I kept my face sullen for a long time, and I laughed when I said this, I don't want other people, you have to work harder, and you can do the work of the Sangong Sixth Court by yourself. Let's do it." As he said that he was about to be intimate with Wei Ji and pressed him on the couch, Wei Ji hurriedly dodged and said in a low voice, "The sky is still bright, how can Your Highness..."

"What's the matter at dawn?" Chu Shaoling leaned down and kissed Wei Ji's forehead, slid his hand down and lightly stroked the inner side of Wei Ji's thigh, then went up and rubbed it vigorously, and whispered in Wei Ji's ear Said, "It's clear when you see it at dawn..."

Wei Ji's ears burned instantly, but he didn't dare to refuse very much, and begged in a low voice: "Your Highness, don't... Wang Gonggong and the others are still outside! They can hear..."

"What's the matter if you hear it?" Chu Shaoling chuckled, "There are more palace people on duty at night, so which time did no one hear it? Why are you shy again today? You just need to keep your voice down..."

Chu Shaoling no longer listened to Wei Ji's perfunctory, and tore off Wei Ji's clothes a few times...

The emperor originally planned to stay in the Tangquan Palace for half a month when he came out this time, but something like this happened on the day of the sacrificial ceremony, and the emperor didn't have the mood to play any more. He only said that the government was busy, and he took everyone back to the imperial city the next day.

On the day when he returned to the city, Chu Shaoling took his own people back to Prince Qin's mansion directly. The emperor and the queen mother returned to the palace.

Zhen Jiaxin really didn't know about this incident from beginning to end. Now that they heard that Chu Shaoruan was left in the palace, Zhen Jiaxin and Zhen Binwen panicked. Knowing that the emperor returned to the court, he hurriedly came to see him. After knowing the whole story, Zhen Jiaxin Weeping bitterly in front of the imperial court, scolding his daughter for being foolish, wishing to smash her head to death in front of the palace, even though Zhen Binwen was not as good at singing and rapping as his father, he still had a face full of remorse, and supported his father all the time Acknowledge your mistake.

The emperor couldn't bear it, so he said a few words of comfort. Zhen Jiaxin beat her chest and stamped her feet, saying that it was because she raised her daughter badly, so Chu Shaoruan encouraged Chu Shaoruan to do such a thing. In the end, Zhen Jiaxin mentioned the purpose of coming today: to cry He begged the emperor to punish his family severely, and only asked the second prince, Chu Shaoruan, to return to the imperial city as soon as possible, and not let the emperor's heir suffer outside.

Zhen Jiaxin knew very well that Chu Shaoruan could not be allowed to stay outside for too long, the longer the time, the fewer people would support Chu Shaoruan, and during this period Chu Shaoling had enough time to cultivate his own influence, In the long run, Chu Shaoruan only has the title of prince and nothing left.

Zhen Jiaxin has been fighting for Chu Shaoruan for so many years and can't lose the chain at this time, crying and begging: "If you are guilty, it is all the fault of the minister. I ask the emperor to dismiss all the men in the minister's family. Please let the second prince return to the court as soon as possible, the second prince is not as good as the weak crown, he only made a big mistake when he was instigated by the servants below, the emperor..."

Zhen Binwen on the side trembled when he heard the words, he didn't want to lose his job because of Chu Shaoruan.

The emperor was also willing to let Chu Shaoruan come back earlier, but thinking that the Queen Mother and Zi Junhou had no choice but to perfunctoryly say: "Ai Qing, don't blame yourself so much, let's go back..."

Zhen Jiaxin hit a soft nail with the emperor, but Li concubine hit a hard nail. She knew that she was almost crazy after being demoted to the concubine, but she was kept under house arrest in the palace and could not see the emperor. Now she has been in the palace after returning to the palace Seeking an audience outside the palace, the emperor was annoyed, he could barely say a few polite words to Zhen Jiaxin, but he was too lazy to pay any attention to Concubine Li, even though Concubine Li was crying and screaming, he refused to see her.

Concubine Li had been in trouble for half a day and failed to appeal to the emperor, but was fined ten boards by the Empress Dowager for "intruding into Chengqian Palace without summons and interfering with state affairs". , the son was not around, and he was beaten and scolded so badly that the queen mother didn't have to ask the emperor anymore, she just taught him a lesson.

The emperor didn't say anything after hearing the letter. He knew that the empress dowager was still angry about the night in the palace. I hadn't visited Concubine Li before, seeing that there was no movement from the emperor, the Empress Dowager transferred four nobles to Linzhi Palace on the grounds that there were too many concubines in Yurong Palace in Wangyue Palace. They also had companions, and the four young and charming concubines chatted and laughed in Linzhi Palace all day long, very lively.

Concubine Li had been in the palace for nearly 20 years, but now she was suddenly beaten from the clouds to the mud. All kinds of things were unimaginable. Neither the son nor the emperor could count on Concubine Li to cry in her bedroom. After fighting in the palace for so many years, Concubine Li quickly cleared up her emotions, let the palace servants take care of her dressing up, sorted out the private treasury and packed a lot of good things to go to Concubine Zhen's Yongfu Palace.
