The Emperor's Mind
Chapter 545 The Emperor's Mind
The sound of "His Majesty the Prince has arrived" made everyone present change their faces.
Especially Wei Xiao, whose distorted expression could hardly be hidden.
If anyone present was the calmest, then Prince Mu was the only one.
He stood with his hands behind his back, looking calmly at the dragon chair above, as if this shocking news had nothing to do with him.
"Prince Mu already knew about this matter, right?"
Gong Siye suddenly turned his head and stared at Prince Mu with sharp, probing eyes.
"The emperor summoned the crown prince and King Xiao respectively to enter the palace last night to take blood and use it as medicine. Could it be that King Gongsi didn't know about this? Oh, after hearing that King Gongsi parted ways with me last night, I returned to the eldest princess mansion and left. Now, I will go to the barracks to train soldiers in the middle of the night. King Gongsi is so busy, it is normal not to know about this little thing."
Prince Mu turned his head. He was wearing a mask so that people couldn't see his face clearly, but the confusion at the corner of his mouth made Gong Siye feel very glaring.
"The emperor needs the prince's blood to be used as medicine for the emperor's illness. This incident has spread in Shangjing. Of course, I know about it. However, the emperor didn't say that the prince needs to be imprisoned in the East Palace. After all, the prince is still wearing a sinful body." Gong Si With a straight face, Ye said in a cold voice.
"If you want to add a crime, what is the crime? Whether the prince is guilty or not, the king thinks that the prince is also clear. As for why the prince was released, that is the emperor's intention, and the king's heart cannot be guessed."
Prince Mu easily kicked the topic back.
"Prince Mu, from your tone, it seems that you have made up your mind to help the prince. Don't forget the poisonous oath you made in the imperial mausoleum." Gong Siye clenched his fists and questioned Prince Mu with a dark face. .
But Prince Mu didn't show any fear, instead he looked at Gong Siye with those smiling eyes.
"King Gongsi, this king is also loyal to the emperor. As for whether this king will be backlashed by the poisonous oath, I don't bother you. You should think about it with Le'an. What should you do when the crown prince returns to the court?" manage!"
"You..." Gong Siye was so angry that his face turned dark again.
But just at this time, another eunuch's voice sounded.
"The Emperor is here."
The emperor is here?
Now, no one was in the mood to whisper, and they quickly stood in their positions. .
"Wei Po" above and Wei Qinhuai at the door appeared almost at the same time.
All the people below knelt down one after another: "See Your Majesty, long live my emperor."
Among the people present, only Prince Mu was standing, and even Wei Xiao had to kneel respectfully.
As the crown prince, Wei Qinhuai naturally didn't need to kneel down.
His face was a little pale, and his figure was much thinner, but the nobility on his body was still so conspicuous. As he walked forward step by step, the ministers on the side felt a strong sense of constriction.
"My son joins the father." Wei Qinhuai coughed lightly, and then specially saluted Wei Po.
Wei Po...that is endless, he is already sitting on the dragon chair.
He raised his hand, stroked the white beard on his face, and said softly, "Yes."
There was a slight sense of alienation in the tone.
When the rest of the people heard this, they were glad, especially Wei Xiao, whose faces also began to show bursts of joy.
Although he didn't know why his father wanted to release Wei Qinhuai.
but……
Hearing his father's tone, he didn't have much enthusiasm for Wei Qinhuai, instead he seemed a little cold.
From this point of view, Emperor Father still has hatred for Wei Qinhuai, just lacking a chance to kill him.
"Pingshen." Endless continued to speak in Wei Po's tone.
Only then did everyone dare to stand up on the ground and secretly looked up.
I also saw that although the emperor was still hunched over and looked weak, his complexion was much better than last time.
Looking around the emperor, besides the father-in-law, there is actually an ordinary-looking strange man with him.
This……
Could it be that folk doctor?
By the way, there have always been rumors in the palace that the emperor trusts this private doctor the most, and he always takes him with him no matter what he does.
Although the ministers had something to say in their hearts, none of them dared to say anything.
When the main hall was extremely quiet, Wei Qinhuai suddenly said to Wei Xiao: "Imperial brother, the crown prince is the head of the courtiers, and you have occupied the position of the palace."
After Wei Qinhuai's sound fell, Wei Xiao's expression became very ugly.
Because Wei Qinhuai had been locked up for so many days, he felt that the other party was dead, and his father asked him to cooperate with Uncle Mu Huang to supervise the country, so he regarded himself as the prince...
When he went to court, he also stood in the position of the prince.
Hearing that Wei Qinhuai told him to stand back now, he was both angry and hated.
All eyes are on this side...
Wei Xiao understood.
Wei Qinhuai wanted to prove through this method that he was the crown prince.
If he stepped aside from this position today, wouldn't he admit that he will be outmatched by Wei Qinhuai again...
Just when Wei Xiao was still worrying and didn't know how to deal with it, a cold voice came from above the hall.
"Prince, it's just a position."
Hearing this, Wei Xiao raised his head quickly.
Did Emperor Father warn Wei Qinhuai just now?
"Xiao Er, I see that you are cooperating with your Uncle Mu Huang to supervise the country, and you have done a good job. Although your brother has regained the position of crown prince, he is still unwell... so, let's go on as usual. The power of the crown prince is up to you. in lieu of exercising."
After these words fell, there was no sound in the hall, and the expressions of everyone were even more strange.
The emperor is blatantly taking the power of the prince.
Although he has regained his position as the crown prince, he can move freely, but...
What kind of prince is a prince without power?
Xiao Wang's faction held back their laughter, and there was a hint of complacency in their eyes.
It's because they are worrying too much, the emperor still doesn't like the prince.
King Xiao still has a chance.
"Your Majesty, this is not appropriate. How can a prince of a country have no power?"
Prince Mu stood up at this time and said loudly.
The ministers of King Xiao's faction darkened again.
There have long been rumors that Prince Mu is on the side of the prince.
They didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that the rumors are true.
"Your Majesty, I don't think there is any problem. After all, the prince has been away from the court for too long, and he is unfamiliar with handling government affairs. Why not rest in the East Palace."
Zhongcheng also stood up and said in a dignified manner.
"My minister agrees!"
"My minister agrees!"
"..."
The ministers of King Xiao's faction ran out one after another to second the proposal.
This made the Prince's faction very anxious.
But some of them wanted to stand up, but Wei Qinhuai shook his head slightly at them.
It looks like...
Even if you can't fight, then don't do things that you can't recover from.
"Your Majesty, it is written in the ancestral precepts that all emperors perform their own duties. Only when you are sick, your ministers dare to exceed your authority to handle government affairs. Now that you are recovering, your ministers should return the power. In the same way, when the crown prince returns to the palace, then King Xiao should return the power that belongs to the crown prince!
Prince Mu straightened his back, his eyes were serious, and his words were sharp.
"Prince Mu, you have to speak for the prince over and over again. Don't forget your identity. King Xiao handles government affairs for the emperor. It is because King Xiao is sympathetic to the inconvenience of the prince. The most urgent thing for the prince is to take good care of his body. Wei Guo You can't have a weak prince!
Zhong Cheng's words were even more tit-for-tat, he almost said that according to Wei Qinhuai's current physical condition, he is a useless prince.
