After rebirth, I abducted the future minister

Chapter 411 [Continued] Mid-Autumn Rituals

It didn't matter that this was a reprieve. Seeing that Emperor Yongtai didn't move, the censor who attended him wrote three more memorials in a row, and his words became more and more fierce and sharp. The prince saw that the whole article was filled with curse words for himself, and he couldn't help but feel very irritated.

Three memorials were suppressed again.

On the third day, the censor made no move. When the court meeting was almost over, Emperor Yongtai looked at the officials below and said casually: "Do you have anything else to report?"

A man came out of the queue, knelt on the ground, and said, "I have my original intention to report."

When he saw that person, the prince's eyelids suddenly jumped. For some reason, he suddenly had a bad feeling. That person was none other than the censor who had suppressed four memorials in a row.

Seeing that it was the censor who was about to report, not only the prince, but also Emperor Yongtai and the ministers' eyelids twitched. Only Cui Yunhao lowered his eyes. A moment later, Emperor Yongtai's slightly aged voice came:

"Accurate performance."

The censor said loudly: "The things I want to report are all in this memorial. Please take a look at it, your Majesty."

Immediately, a eunuch came over, picked up the memorial, and presented it to Emperor Yongtai respectfully. Almost everyone's eyes were fixed on the memorial, observing Emperor Yongtai's expression.

So they also saw clearly that Emperor Yongtai's eyes suddenly opened, and the expression on his face flashed through shock, disbelief, and anger, and finally turned into calm, if you ignore the fingers that were holding the memorial tightly.

"Prince," Emperor Yongtai's voice was surprisingly soft as he said, "You also come and read this memorial. It is written specifically for you."

Hearing this, the prince's eyelids suddenly jumped wildly. He felt that his throat was a little dry, and his mind began to think rapidly about whether there was anything important in the four memorials he had seen a few days ago that he had overlooked.

The censor was still loudly telling Emperor Yongtai that his first four memorials were all in vain, so he had no choice but to present them in court today, asking the emperor to forgive him.

The prince said dryly: "My son, my son..."

This memorial was recorded in such detail. The more the prince read it, the more frightened he became. Sweat appeared on his forehead and his face became paler. Only then did he realize how stupid and unscrupulous he had acted in the past, and how many clues he had left behind.

.

Emperor Yongtai looked at him coldly and said: "I have been feeling unwell recently and asked you to sort out the memorials. Where did you sort out Chen Yushi's memorials?"

This attracted the attention of all the courtiers present. They were all very curious about the piece of paper. They also wondered what kind of Mid-Autumn Festival gift King Yong could give to the emperor when he came back from the barren land at the border.

Emperor Yongtai laughed so hard that he actually got up from his seat, came down to help King Yong, and said: "Okay, okay! Just come back!"

A few days later, on August 15th, King Yong returned to Beijing. It was the Mid-Autumn Festival. A Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was held in the palace. The emperor and his ministers had fun together. Emperor Yongtai was sitting at the top. Suddenly, a young eunuch came in from outside and knelt down on the ground.

, said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, King Yong is asking for an audience outside the palace."

"There are four more memorials?" Emperor Yongtai said solemnly: "Why haven't I seen any of them? Prince."

Suddenly his name was called. The prince subconsciously raised his head and met the sharp eyes of Emperor Yongtai. The cold sweat suddenly fell from his forehead and he opened his mouth and said: "Son, I am here."

Emperor Yongtai was not an easy person to please. Once he was rejected, it would be extremely difficult to turn around. The prince understood this very well.

The prince's face slowly darkened. He raised his neck and drank a full glass of wine before he was reprimanded. The joy of the spring breeze a while ago was wiped away, leaving only the coldness and dejection.

Emperor Yongtai took the roll of paper and opened it slowly. His expression was startled at first, then surprised. He glanced at King Yong and said, "This is... a map?"

He knew very well what kind of person his father was, just as Emperor Yongtai knew him.

King Yong was flattered. Because he had been traveling for days, the dust on his body had not been completely washed away. His face looked a little tired, but his eyes were bright. He said respectfully: "My son came back in a hurry, so I only prepared a few gifts. I would like to congratulate my father on the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"

As he spoke, he took out a roll of paper from his arms. The paper looked a little old, as if it had been read over and over again. King Yong's expression looked very cautious. He held up the roll of paper.

Bow and present it to Emperor Yongtai.

At this moment, a figure appeared at the door of the hall, with straight shoulders and back, as tall as a green pine. All the courtiers put down their wine glasses in unison and stood up.

Emperor Yongtai's eyes flashed with deep disappointment. He stood up and said: "Retreat from the court."

What on earth has he been doing all these years?

"If you intend to be a party, you will be punished." The words were not big, but like an awl, they suddenly pierced into the eyes of the prince, and his fingers that were holding the memorial trembled.

Cui Yunhao stood behind the desk and watched King Yong walking towards Emperor Yongtai step by step, then he knelt down and kowtowed: "My son, I bow to my father, long live my father. Long live my father."

"yes."

Emperor Yongtai's eyes suddenly lit up, he put down the cup in his hand and said, "Okay, let him in quickly."

But the more this happened, the weirder the expression of Emperor Yongtai just now became. The prince was in a state of confusion. He took the memorial with great anxiety and read: "... In the spring and February of the twenty-eighth year of Yongtai, in Cenzhou

The tea tax was added, and a total of 807,000 taels of tax money was obtained that year... In the summer of May of the 29th year of Yongtai, the prince held a banquet with the minister of industry

Shu Peng Zijian, the right minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs Yu Yibo, the governor Qianshi Zhai Yiliang... In the Mid-Autumn Festival of the 29th year of Yongtai, the prince held a banquet for the right inspector censor Zhu Hui, the governor Qianshi Zhai Yiliang, and the commander of Dongcheng troops and horses Wei Zheng... In the 29th year of Yongtai

In November of winter, a banquet was held between Yu Jinrong, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and a member of the cabinet, and Liu Yuxing, the former chief assistant of the cabinet..."

At that moment, the prince's face turned gray inch by inch, and he thought, it's over, all the efforts during this period have been in vain, and all the previous efforts have been wasted.

No, absolutely not. Those were all scoldings about him, every word was like a needle. It was said that he secretly befriended courtiers and intended to form a party. They were all empty talk. He had seen this kind of memorial many times. He had already known it after being involved in politics for so many years.

, these censors only have one mouth, and they yell nonsense when they have time or no time. In fact, not many of them can really produce evidence.

King Yong respectfully replied: "Report to my father, this thing is exactly a map. When my son was digging the river, he sent a team of soldiers to carefully sneak into the depths of the Rongdi grassland and map out the terrain, so that this map was created.

, When our troops and horses grow stronger in the future, and we march northward, we will definitely be able to defeat the enemy's royal court, and avenge the past!"

His voice was sonorous, powerful, and extremely firm. Emperor Yongtai's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he shouted: "Okay! Okay!"

His expression was both surprised and happy, and he kept saying good things, as if he had really seen the soldiers and horses of Daqian in the future, marching through the enemy's royal court, and achieving the great hegemony of Daqian!

Emperor Yongtai praised King Yong while patting King Yong's shoulder hard. But where no one saw him, the prince's face was as cold as a thick layer of frost. He glanced at King Yong and King Yong with cold eyes.

Emperor Yongtai then slowly lowered his eyes, staring at the empty cup in front of him, as if he was distracted.

Over there, King Yong was sitting under Emperor Yongtai, explaining everything at the border. The atmosphere between father and son was so harmonious. Compared with the neglected prince next to him, one could not help but feel pity.
