Chapter 237: There is a throne on my face?
Prime Minister Gu's heart sank, his hands subconsciously clenched, and he slowly kowtowed to express his gratitude: "I obey the order, thank the emperor for his grace."
Mu Xiuyu lowered his head and slowly clenched his hands.
What does the emperor mean?
Gu Anxian has been taken back by Princess Yu, why did he suspend the prime minister's position?
I thought that after the crown prince was deposed, the Jiang family was in decline, and the queen was imprisoned, he would have a chance.
However, because of the matter of raising poisonous snakes, he was imprisoned in the palace by the emperor to reflect, and he was not allowed to attend court and various banquets.
If it weren't for the family banquet in the palace that day, he had to serve tea to the ninth uncle, and he would still be locked up in the palace.
During the days he stayed in the palace, he was thinking about how to plan, how to please the emperor, how to win over the ministers, and let them propose to the emperor to make him the crown prince.
But why do things always go beyond control?
Gu Anxian was so sensible and smart before, but she made such a reckless and stupid move today, which made the emperor angry and even caused the prime minister uncle to be suspended from his post at home.
If he had been concerned about the emperor and Jiang Yi just now, he really hated her so much that he rushed to slap Gu Anxian twice to make her sober up.
The daughter who was carefully taught by the prime minister's mansion was so brainless that she put the overall situation aside for her own little love and was so selfish that she didn't care about her mother at all. She was really a fool!
And the emperor.
Gu Anxian has married into the royal family, and her words and deeds also represent the Prince Yu's Mansion. How can the prime minister have anything to do with it?
Why can the emperor be more tolerant of the prime minister?
As a parent, can he cover for his daughter's behavior for the rest of his life?
It is possible that the crown prince will be reinstated. If the one who has the most advantage is him, the fourth prince?
The emperor suspended the prime minister at this time. Is he deliberately suppressing him?
Mu Xiuyu's eyes turned slightly, and he looked at the princes standing beside him with emotion.
The eldest brother likes government affairs and never cares about these things. He knows that he and his princess are in love under the moonlight.
The idle prince must say.
The fifth brother has been weak since birth, and now he relies on medicine to survive every day. Don't even think about the throne. Even if he has amazing abilities, the ministers may not let a short-lived medicine jar be the emperor.
The sixth brother, King Jing...
Mu Xiuyu's eyes were a little gloomy. King Jing has been actively trying to please the ninth uncle recently. It is said that he is also very close to the second daughter of the Ling family of the Protector of the State.
What does he want to do? Marry the Protector of the State?
"Why are you looking at me like this, fourth brother?" King Jing suddenly spoke, and his leisurely tone seemed to be unaffected by the atmosphere. "Is there a throne in my face?"
As soon as this was said, everyone present was shocked.
All the eyes fell on his face, shocked by his boldness.
"Sixth brother!" Mu Xiuyu's face turned pale, "How dare you be so rebellious in front of the emperor?!"
King Jing sneered: "I heard that the fourth brother is best at raising poisonous snakes, so he should be very brave. Why does he become so cowardly in front of the emperor? Is his cowardice also a disguise?"
Emperor Zhaocheng heard the two quarreling and turned his head to look at them, his eyes stern: "What are you two talking about?"
"Your Majesty." Mu Xiuyu turned and walked to Emperor Zhaocheng, lifted his robe and knelt down, "Sixth brother's words are rude, he has no cultivation of a prince, and is more like a crazy dandy. I beg the emperor to punish him severely!"
Emperor Zhaocheng frowned and looked at King Jing.
"I am innocent." King Jing knelt down, "It was obviously the fourth brother who kept staring at my face, and his eyes looked like he was waiting to plot against me at any time. I panicked and tried not to make a mistake. I beg the emperor to see clearly."
Mu Xiuyu turned around and said angrily, "When did I plot against you?"
"Just now--"
"Shut up!" Emperor Zhaocheng spoke coldly, his voice deep and angry, "Are you done yet?"
The two pleaded guilty in unison.
"It's early, the family dinner can begin." Emperor Zhaocheng stood up and walked to the East Warm Pavilion next door where the banquet was held, "Xiao Changhai, order some dishes."
Xiao Changhai quickly responded, "Yes."
Zhaoyang Palace was where Emperor Zhaocheng often held banquets.
In the past, he had a family banquet with the concubines here. Because they were all the concubines and children of the emperor, Emperor Zhaocheng and the empress and concubines sat in the East Warm Pavilion, while the princes and princesses ate in the West Warm Pavilion.
The situation today was special.
The empress was still under house arrest, and no concubines in the harem were called.
And the main purpose of the banquet today was to remind the younger generation present to change their arrogant and domineering habits, otherwise they would suffer losses in the future and think they were unlucky, and don’t come to him to cry.
Apart from the concubines in the harem, there were naturally fewer women present today, except for a few princesses, princesses and county ladies.
Emperor Zhaocheng and the princes and county ladies were still in the East Warm Pavilion.
Jiang Yi and Yan Li were in the West Warm Pavilion, and they sat at the same table with Princess Xian, the eldest prince’s princess, the third princess, the seventh princess, the princess, Mu Ya, Mu Yun, and Jiang Jingyue.
The atmosphere at the table was a little weird.
Except for the eldest prince's wife, all the people present had some grievances with Yan Li. ŴŴŴ.
Whether it was because Yan Li's status was too high or because Mu Xue and Mu Yunzhu were frightened by Emperor Zhaocheng's anger, no one spoke nonsense.
Even their eyes were cautious, not daring to show any hostility.
Even during the meal, Mu Yun always couldn't help but sneak a glance at Yan Li, with a cautious look in her eyes.
"What are you looking at, Princess Mu Yun?" Yan Li noticed her eyes, raised his eyes and looked at her, his eyebrows slightly raised, "Are you still holding a grudge against me for kicking you into the lake?"
