Chapter 1660: The Emperor Has Grown a Brain

"My lord, are you not worried that the Prince's daughter will discover Imperial Consort Jing? If the three brothers stand together in the future, oh my, one look and it's clear they are brothers. Have you thought about that situation, and how you will handle it?"

Physician Mu was purely teasing, his eyes narrow, wanting to see a joke.

Chen Guanlou couldn't let him see a joke, and said sonorously: "Two have the surname Song, one has the surname Shen; why should I handle it? The person who should come forward is their mother!"

"Master is truly open-minded!"

"You all think too much, so your troubles are doubled, and you will have a short life."

"Still Master is open-minded. When the children grow up one after another, I hope Master can continue to maintain the current style."

"Old Mu, you want to see my joke, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."

Physician Mu laughed, not commenting.

Who can say clearly about future things.

People can't even empathize with themselves a few months ago, let alone themselves a few years later.

Spring sunshine!

Empress Chen gave birth to a daughter for her second child, and the person in the palace who was happiest was Emperor Yuanding.

When the child was a month old, Emperor Yuanding held a big banquet to celebrate for the little princess.

Coincidentally, the Marquis of Pingjiang led the army back to the Northwest and conveniently wiped out Guo Dachun's main force. The news reached the capital, and the court was excited.

The time had come.

A few days later, people began to impeach the Marquis of Pingjiang one after another, saying he had spent more than ten years, wasted countless money and grain, and dragged the imperial court's finances to collapse, causing the people to live in misery, clearly doing it on purpose, raising bandits to respect himself, and respecting himself with soldiers.

The rebel Guo Dachun, who couldn't be wiped out no matter what before, was completely annihilated in one round and a few days this time, forcing the other party into a desperate situation.

For example, the Xiliang, which couldn't be solved no matter what before, had been straight to the Yellow Dragon in just half a year since the autumn offensive started last year.

It can be seen that the Marquis of Pingjiang had long had a secret method to break the bandits, but refused to take it out for a long time, dragging the imperial court to sink together. Making thousands of people suffer the consequences of war for many years, displaced, so that the imperial court had to choose to immigrate at a great cost.

All kinds of things like this are clearly the actions of a rebellious minister.

The Marquis of Pingjiang is the biggest traitor in the Great Gan Dynasty and must be severely punished.

Even more arrogant ones begged the Emperor to issue an edict to take away the Marquis of Pingjiang's military power, unload his duties, send him to the capital, and investigate seriously.

Clearly showing their cards, a posture of crossing the river and tearing down the bridge, killing the dog when the rabbit is dead.

Emperor Yuanding wished he could be one word and nine tripods, saying whatever he wanted.

He dreamed of escorting the Marquis of Pingjiang to the capital and just finishing him off. By resolving the great worry of three generations of emperors, he would be credited in the history books and leave a heavy, colorful mark. He would become a monarch praised by later generations! As for whether he was wise, later generations would have their own judgment.

Anyway, being awesome is certain.

However, he couldn't.

"Stop spouting nonsense! The Marquis of Pingjiang has merit to the country, is a hero of the Great Gan, and is a pillar of the imperial court. You all stop spouting nonsense. Who just said they wanted to send the Marquis of Pingjiang to the capital? Absurd! Not thinking about how to reward, but daring to bewitch me to do such pig-and-dog-like things. Do you have a monarch father in your heart? I don't want to bear the infamy of the whole world, are you not reconciled? In your eyes, am I a monarch who cannot tolerate, only knowing how to cross the river and tear down the bridge?"

"Your Majesty, calm your anger!"

"I cannot calm my anger! Come, arrest everyone who proposes to investigate the Marquis of Pingjiang and send the Marquis of Pingjiang to the capital, and throw them into the Heavenly Prison. Let the Ministry of Justice interrogate them strictly, whether there are shady dealings behind them, and why they want to harm my loyal minister."

The ministers were surprised and inexplicable!

This is the Emperor?

The Emperor has grown a brain?

Actually didn't impulsively agree with the opinions of those stir-shit sticks, but instead scolded severely?

"We are not convinced!"

The arrested censors and court officials cried out grievances one after another.

"The Marquis of Pingjiang is a great traitor, a rebellious minister. We are loyal to the public, why does Your Majesty not distinguish between loyal and traitorous? Heavens!"

The sound went further and further away, but the hearts of the loyal ministers in the court became heavier and heavier.

Whether the Marquis of Pingjiang is a traitor or not, everyone has an account in their heart.

Xie Changling and others looked at Emperor Yuanding high above, thinking that the Emperor had indeed grown a brain. No longer simply and crudely killing, knowing how to use tricks, maintaining the Marquis of Pingjiang on the surface, but actually pulling hatred for the Marquis of Pingjiang.

Arresting people in the Golden Throne Hall today, tomorrow the whole world will criticize the Marquis of Pingjiang, saying the Emperor was blinded by the Marquis of Pingjiang, the Emperor was threatened by the Marquis of Pingjiang.

The Marquis of Pingjiang has high merit and covers the master, and there is no reward to be rewarded, only to be crowned king.

However, the Great Gan Dynasty has never had a king with a different surname.

The Marquis of Pingjiang is unwilling, will he take the opportunity to rebel?

It is understandable for the imperial court to take away military power at this time. Cannot sit idly by and watch the Marquis of Pingjiang rebel.

The balance will gradually tilt toward the Emperor.

The Emperor not only grew a brain, but there must be an expert pointing it out by his side.

Everyone thought of the Jixia Academy.

Several students from the Jixia Academy were granted the position of attendant scholar, accompanying Emperor Yuanding to read every day.

Xie Changling lowered his head and smiled, taking the lead in saying: "Your Majesty is wise!"

The ministers followed suit, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Emperor Yuanding laughed loudly, looking extremely satisfied with today's court meeting.

"I am not a person who is mean and ungrateful. The Marquis of Pingjiang has made contributions to the Great Gan's mountains and rivers, and how to reward him, you ministers should carefully consider. Must come up with a chapter early, cannot drag it on, chilling the hearts of the soldiers at the border, and even more cannot chill the heart of the Marquis of Pingjiang. Where is Chen Guanfu?"

"The minister is here!"

Chen Guanfu walked out of the civil official team, holding a metal tablet.

"The Marquis of Pingjiang has made great contributions, and as the son, and also the father-in-law, I also want to reward you. Whatever you want, just say it."

"The minister is ashamed and dare not accept the reward! Only ask for the soldiers at the border to be able to get the reward silver promised by the imperial court."

"No, I must reward you. The reward silver for the soldiers at the border will be handled by the imperial court itself. The Marquis of Pingjiang has merit to the country, and if I don't treat his family and descendants well, the people of the world will laugh at me."

Chen Guanfu took a deep breath and simply said: "Everything is up to Your Majesty."

Emperor Yuanding laughed, "In that case, I will decide for you. You just go back to the mansion to receive the reward."

"The minister thanks you for your holy grace!"

Chen Guanfu bowed and retreated. But in his heart, he was cursing Emperor Yuanding, learning to act like a play, but learning it like a four-unlike.

Thinking of his daughter Empress Chen giving birth to a daughter for her second child, Emperor Yuanding wanted to hold a big banquet, and he scoffed, the Emperor's thoughts were clearly revealed. Clearly not wanting to establish the legitimate son born by Empress Chen as the crown prince, so he compensated on the little princess.

This kind of secret thought, the smart people in the court, can all understand.

The so-called reward is just acting.

The Marquis of Pingjiang has made great contributions, if there is true sincerity, no need to discuss, directly crown him Duke, simple and straightforward. The world will praise, the Emperor is atmospheric!

Reluctant to give the Duke title, then give the Hou Fu another Marquis title. The Hou Fu has nothing else, just many people, many sons. Two titles are not enough to divide.

Now it requires the ministers to discuss, clearly only wanting to use gold and silver to dismiss, rather than a real title. ===== CHAPTER 1661 =====
