Prince Regent's Concubine

The next day, Xiao Chuyi went to the court as before, and then brought up the resignation of the title of regent again. Today Xiao Jingheng did not ignore it, but asked the courtiers for their opinions.

Except for the courtiers standing on Xiao Chuyi's side, the others are not as resolutely opposed as yesterday. Some people think that the emperor should agree, and explained how much influence the regent has on the emperor's personal administration. Considering the emperor and the court, it's really moving.

As for the people on Xiao Chuyi's side, although Xiao Chuyi didn't hint at them, but Xiao Chuyi took the initiative to mention it, they can also guess that the prince is here for real. Although they disagree, they don't expressly object , most people were silent and did not open their mouths.

Those who are silent will be regarded as having no objection, and those who agree to jump like that, this matter is almost a foregone conclusion.

Xiao Jingheng was very satisfied with the reaction of the courtiers. Yesterday Xiao Jingheng didn't ask people to speak in the palace to give any hints. Today, Xiao Jingheng thinks that the behavior of these people is their true thoughts.

He thought that it was quite unpopular for so many people not to want Xiao Chuyi to continue to be the regent.

Then Xiao Jingheng agreed, and announced on the spot that Xiao Chuyi would no longer be the Prince Regent, his title would be changed from Prince Regent to his previous title, Prince Yi, and Prince Regent's Mansion would be changed to Prince Yi's Mansion. Change.

After Xiao Chuyi received the decree, he proposed to hand over all the errands he was given. He only wanted to be an idle prince. Originally, he would deal with those errands in his hands for more than a year, but now it was just a formal handover.

Xiao Jingheng had nothing to object to, but he didn't want Xiao Chuyi to leave the court completely. After all, he was capable. Xiao Jingheng wanted him to continue working for the court. Not only did he want to keep him, but he also wanted to keep Ling Qingshi.

Xiao Jingheng arranged for him an errand in the household department. Xiao Jingheng still remembers that Ling Qingshi promised to be the secretary of the household department at the beginning, but later let the Ministry of Industry take the lead, and Ling Qingshi also let go. Give advice to the Ministry of Finance.

Xiao Jingheng knew that Xiao Chuyi and Xiao Chuyi felt resentful because of not giving rewards. Ling Qingshi was afraid that he would not give Bai any more advice, and he didn't want to continue to take care of the affairs of the Ministry of Industry, let alone the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Xiao Jingheng thought, if Xiao Chuyi entered the household department, then Ling Qingshi would have to give him advice to make money for Xiao Chuyi, and he wanted to tie these two people to the household department.

As long as the treasury is not short of money and he is not fatuous, how can the world be governed well?

Xiao Jingheng had a good plan, but Xiao Chuyi didn't want to, he just said, "Your Majesty, I have been an official in the court for many years. I was overworked and injured my body. I can't do anything about the facts of the court. I just want to spend the rest of my life as an idle prince. , and ask the emperor to complete it."

As if afraid that Xiao Jingheng would not agree, Xiao Chuyi added, "I can no longer work for the imperial court, and I will never receive the imperial salary in the future. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Do things with money, and don't do things without money, Xiao Chuyi showed his attitude.

The joy in Xiao Jingheng's heart dissipated in an instant, knowing that Xiao Chuyi was trying to block him again, after all, he, the emperor, said it, and it was only natural that he took the imperial salary to do things for the imperial court.

The courtiers didn't know this, they all focused on the previous sentence, a prince who was not yet thirty said that he wanted to spend the rest of his life in peace, everyone could hear the moisture in it, they looked at Xiao Chuyi's eyes Just a little weird.

Why doesn't this prince play cards according to common sense?

No matter what their thoughts were, Xiao Chuyi made it clear that he only wanted Xiao Jingheng to be fulfilled.

Xiao Jingheng's face darkened when he was so shameless, "Uncle Huang is complaining about my not rewarding Aunt Huang, so he doesn't want to do anything for the court anymore?"

Xiao Jingheng also made it clear that he would like to see how Xiao Chuyi would answer. If he dared to say yes, it would be just for the courtiers to see his true face. Get up early.

If he said no, then he just took the job of the household department under pressure.

"I don't dare. The reason why I don't want to accept the errand has already been said. I am not in good health and can't take on the heavy responsibility. I also ask the emperor to choose another talented person."

The words dare not show that Xiao Chuyi really has the intention of rewarding him, but because the emperor will not give it, he dare not complain, and when he speaks in court, there are secrets hidden everywhere.

Xiao Jingheng snorted coldly, "I see that the emperor's uncle is in good shape. He can take the emperor's aunt to the brothel to prostitute, but he can't do things for the court. Is it true that the court is not as important as prostitutes in the emperor's mind?"

"Your majesty is serious. I took the concubine to the brothel just to listen to music, not to court prostitutes. The emperor puts such a big hat on me. I'm afraid I won't be able to enter the house for a while. Please forgive me."

As soon as Xiao Chuyi said this, many courtiers covered their mouths and laughed softly. Who would have thought that the high-ranking and distinguished Regent is actually a strict wife.

Since he has so blatantly admitted that he is afraid of internal affairs, he is afraid that before tomorrow, all the people in the capital will know that the prince is an earbud.

Only Xiao Jingheng felt uncomfortable at being bullied. Seeing that the courtiers dared to laugh, he immediately gave everyone a displeased look. Among those who laughed, they restrained their expressions and lowered their heads as if nothing had happened.

Xiao Jingheng turned his gaze back to Xiao Chuyi again, "Is the emperor determined not to do anything for the court anymore?"

Xiao Chuyi said: "Your Majesty, I want to rest for a few years and take care of my health. If the court still needs me after I have recovered, I will definitely do my best."

Taking care of himself, Xiao Jingheng gritted his teeth angrily when he heard these words. Both inside and outside the words imply that he has contributed to Da Chu these years as the regent. If he thinks more about it, there is also the matter of his legs being poisoned. No matter how Xiao Jingheng heard it, he felt that Xiao Chuyi was saying that he, the emperor, was wrong.

Xiao Jingheng held his breath and confronted Xiao Chuyi for a few more rounds, but Xiao Chuyi didn't give in. If he hadn't been able to act improperly as Prince Yi, he might have directly asked to be demoted to a commoner.

In the end, Xiao Jingheng forcibly arranged an errand for the household department. He didn't need to come to court, he just needed to be named, and he didn't have to go to the household department to handle matters on weekdays.At this point, Xiao Chuyi had no way to refuse, so he could only agree.

For this reason, Xiao Jingheng also had calculations in his mind. Although he said that Xiao Chuyi could do nothing, but he was from the Ministry of Household Affairs. The Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs came to him to find ways to help him. Could he still refuse?

Xiao Jingheng was determined to put Xiao Chuyi in the household department, Xiao Chuyi was not stupid, so he naturally guessed what his idea was, but it didn't matter, he just didn't care, so what did the household department have to do with him?

After the court, Xiao Jingheng might have been angry and didn't ask Xiao Chuyi to go to the study to talk.

The people from the Jianing Palace were waiting outside, but Xiao Chuyi said yesterday that it was the last time he went to the Jianing Palace, and he would never go there again.

The eunuch went back and replied, and the queen mother was so angry that she dropped a few cups on the spot.
