Chapter 333: secretly disappointed
Chapter 333 Secretly Disappointed
It is precisely because of this that after Zhao Xiang returned to Beijing, the emperor's attitude towards him was better than before his exile, and he was more trusting and valued.
Because he can see clearly that this person is really selfless, and he is absolutely loyal to Daqin and himself.
The second prince felt even more aggrieved after hearing what the father said, "Father, Zhao Xiang is not as good as the father thought! He is old and cunning, he must have deceived the father! What happened today is so obvious, can it be said that the father really can't see it?" Come out? He is taking revenge on his son! Does the emperor believe in him but not his son?"
The emperor let out a soft "Heh!"
Not to mention, subconsciously, he seems to really trust Zhao Xiang more.
The second prince was extremely injured, both aggrieved and angry, "Father, Zhao Xiang is trying to provoke the father-son relationship between you and your ministers. If you are fooled, Father, you will have his heart!"
The emperor didn't pay attention to the words of the second prince, but looked at him and asked slowly: "I want to ask you a question, did you cheat on the day of the hunting competition with Duke Li?"
The second prince's face turned pale in an instant.
"Ah Mo, I'm just going to ask you this question, you should think it through before answering, is there any?"
The second prince withdrew his gaze guiltily, "My son."
The words of denial are very simple and can be blurted out. But he dared not.
He didn't dare to lie in front of his shrewd father, because this matter couldn't stand the investigation at all. After all, there were so many people involved that day, and they took prey from more than one team, so with so many people, there will always be someone who speaks falsely.
In the eyes of the second prince, this was just a trivial matter, and it was over when it passed, but who would have thought that someone would find out and cause trouble all over the city?
Now that his father knew about it, he was relieved, so there was nothing to hide: "Father, it was Zhou Hansheng who bullied people too much! My son is just angry! Besides, those people are all sons and daughters." My servants, why should they serve my servants? It’s nothing if my servants ask them for a few prey! This was originally just a trivial matter, but who knows that someone deliberately wants to tarnish my reputation and embarrass my servants, Therefore, they fanned the flames and stirred up troubles behind their backs, spread the news to the whole city, and added fuel to the fire, spreading many false statements, making my son's words really unbearable!"
"If it's just a normal discussion, after all, I have done this before, and I have admitted it, but I can't bear the slander with added fuel and vinegar, I can't stand this injustice! This is why people in Shuntian Mansion and Jiucheng Bingma Division should pay attention. Who Knowing that they went too far in private, Erchen really didn't think of it!"
"Even if I was at fault for this matter, are Zhao Xiang and Zhou Hansheng not at fault? If the reputation of my son is damaged, the reputation of the royal family will also be damaged. I am afraid that even the father will be arranged by others. They just have ulterior motives." .”
The emperor is still expressionless, but his disappointment with the second prince has deepened in his heart.
His son has learned how to blatantly use eye drops. Do you really think he is such a stupid person? He will believe it if he just fools and instigates a few words?
Hunting that day, he really cheated.
"So it seems that you really cheated that day?" You cheated and refused to admit it, making so many excuses.
The emperor said coldly: "As a prince, it is inappropriate for you to make such a bet with your subjects, but you still can't afford to lose?"
The second prince's self-esteem was already very strong, his face flushed immediately after hearing this, and he was extremely ashamed and angry.
"I don't have it, I can't afford to lose! My son is just, just not convinced! Zhou Hansheng is too much, too bullying! Father, you don't know, he instigated all this!"
The emperor sneered: "You are the prince, he is a subject, let alone whether he has the courage to instigate, even if he really instigates, you will listen to whatever he instigates? What about your own opinion?"
The second prince choked.
Of course it is impossible for him to admit that he has no opinion, let alone admit that he is being led by the nose by Zhou Hansheng.
The second prince then said: "The bet was not made by my son, but by the third cousin of the Yan family. In fact, it was not on purpose by the third cousin, it was all calculated by Zhou Hansheng, and his words became like that. Father, Zhou Hansheng , Zhao Xiang and the others really have no good intentions!"
The second prince was really itchy with hatred.
The emperor became more and more disappointed, he didn't even want to talk anymore.
No assertiveness, being impulsive and easily fooled by what others say, rambling and irresponsible, after all, everything is the fault of others, and there can be a reason for everything, no matter what he himself is not at fault
The emperor is a little depressed, the child was not like this before, why did he suddenly become like this? Could it be that I have loved him too much all these years!
"Whether they have good intentions or not, you are willing to gamble and admit defeat on what you promised yourself. If you lose, you will be uneasy. What if you win at that time? So what? You can still lose by cheating. It's really embarrassing! My past teachings, it seems You fell on deaf ears!"
"Father!"
"Shut up!" The emperor suddenly became angry and snapped: "Did I let you in? Who allowed you to come in? Get out!"
The second prince was stunned, how could the father treat him like this!
"Father—"
"go out!"
The second prince's face turned red and then turned pale, and the strong sense of damaged self-esteem finally made him unable to hold on any longer, so he turned around abruptly and left.
The emperor's eyes flickered, and he just left without saying a word?
Sure enough, he is his spoiled good son, and he has no respect for his father!
When the halo projected on a person gradually dims and no longer covers the eyes, all the shortcomings are like a beach after low tide, which can be seen at a glance.
The emperor suddenly realized that this son really displeased him everywhere.
He closed his eyes tiredly, suddenly feeling a little dazed.
The second prince was furious and left Qianqing Palace, and walked towards Guanju Palace where his mother and concubine lived.
He had to discuss this matter with his mother and concubine. Damn Zhao Xiang, what method did he use to coax his father? It was obviously such an obvious frame, but his father just couldn't see clearly.
What the second prince didn't know was that not long after he left the Qianqing Palace, there was a hidden guard kneeling in front of his father to report.
Although the emperor led the people out of the teahouse with a cold face, it seemed that he walked swiftly.
However, with his temperament, how could he not leave a pair of eyes to stare secretly?
What happened in the teahouse after that, he knew exactly what happened.
The emperor sneered when he heard that other people were safe and ran away after he left, and only Zhao Xiang took the initiative to help Lin Yushi deal with the aftermath.
Sure enough, Zhao Aiqing is the only one who can be trusted. Who else has no selfishness?
