Chapter 221 Angry and Aggrieved
Chapter 221 Angry and Aggrieved
The queen thought about it and decided it was a good idea. She could stay at her son's house for a few days and no one would dare to say anything.
"Okay, I'll have someone pack up and leave the palace with you guys later. I'll stay at the Crown Prince's residence for a few days and return to the palace before the Longevity Festival."
"Think about it, I have been in the palace for so many years, and I haven't left the palace for more than 20 years."
Yuanman widened his eyes. It was scary to think about having lived in this small world for twenty years.
"Then you should go for a walk with us, change the environment and change your mood."
The queen was about to nod, but then she thought of the cucumber on her face and just hummed.
In the imperial study, the emperor sat down and waited for Hui Chengyuan to speak, and Hui Chengyuan put down the ingot and waited for the emperor to speak.
Yuan Bao looked at it and spoke first, "Dad, what are you and Grandfather doing?"
Hui Chengyuan looked at his father and asked, "What do you want to tell me?"
"Don't you have something to say to your father?" The emperor looked at him unhappily.
Hui Chengyuan stood up and said, "If you don't want to tell me, I'll go find Aman."
The emperor's mouth twitched, "It's not nice to stick to women all day long."
"Sit down and tell me about Yunguo."
Hui Chengyuan glanced at him, sat down and said, "The Yun Kingdom incident can be said to be caused by me and A-Man. The Yun Emperor wanted to kill us to silence us, so we fought back."
So he recounted what Emperor Yun had done.
After hearing this, the emperor frowned, "So, that so-called saint is really in our Anguo?"
Hui Chengyuan shook his head, "I don't know, but it's probably true."
"If this matter gets out, our Anguo will be thrown into chaos by the other three countries." The emperor and Hui Chengyuan thought the same thing. This matter must not be known to the other two countries.
Hui Chengyuan nodded, "So, I had people spread the news that Emperor Yun had ulterior motives, and delayed the matter as long as possible."
"At least nothing will happen until the new Emperor Yun takes the throne."
The emperor nodded, "The spy sent a message that although Emperor Yun's health is not as good as before, he should not die in the next one or two years."
"It depends on how long he can live and whether he will send spies to Anguo to investigate."
"He will definitely send someone, it just depends on who he sends." Hui Chengyuan thought of the news Yuan Man heard with the talisman. Emperor Yun originally wanted to send the Sixth Prince, but how could the Sixth Prince leave the imperial capital so easily now?
Therefore, only some secret agents will be sent.
The emperor thought for a moment and said, "We need to find this saint before they do, so that we don't have to worry about them sending people to investigate."
It’s not that Hui Chengyuan hasn’t thought about it. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the saint was talking about Aman, because since her appearance, Anguo has begun to get better step by step.
From building the river, the Wanmin Bridge, the granary and the shelter that is being built now, as well as the ones she proposed, every one of them is bringing prosperity to the country and peace to the people.
Hui Chengyuan told the emperor everything he thought of, and then told him that Yuanman had started arranging people to build a shelter.
"Father, I need your cooperation in this matter. Please discuss with the ministers and prohibit the issue of abandoning children."
"Otherwise, those cheap families will know about this shelter and throw their babies to the shelter to be raised after they are born, and then take them back when they grow up. Wouldn't that be a mess?"
"Aman is thinking about the peace and prosperity of the country and the people, not about supporting those lazy people."
The emperor was silent for a long time after hearing this, and his eyes changed when he looked at Hui Chengyuan, "Son, I'm wondering if you have sucked away An Guo's luck for the past three years, so you got such a good wife."
Hui Chengyuan's mouth twitched when he heard this. This really is his biological father.
The emperor then continued, "You are not without reason. The Crown Princess has brought about earth-shaking changes to our Anguo."
"The fact that she has brought peace to our country by ferreting out those corrupt officials is enough to earn the praise of the people."
"Now that she has become our Anguo Crown Princess, we are not afraid of anyone snatching her away. But son, the Crown Princess is pregnant again, so you must stick to your principles."
"If you make my daughter-in-law angry and leave, I will send you away directly."
Hui Chengyuan stroked his forehead, "Father, what kind of person I am, don't you know?"
"Besides, Yuanbao is still here, don't lead him astray."
He decided that Yuanbao could not follow his father to learn the imperial strategy, so he should teach him himself to avoid being led astray.
"I know, but you must be alert." The emperor looked at him with a smile in his eyes, "I heard that a girl came across you in the Imperial Garden today, so you must be alert."
The veins on Hui Chengyuan's forehead were about to jump. "Father, A-Man and I have a very close relationship. What you said will never happen."
"So, let's discuss the matter of the law."
"Also, the river construction is almost finished, and the tributaries are almost ready. Will we hold a river opening ceremony in the suburbs of Kyoto?"
The emperor restrained his expression and said, "Tomorrow is a grand court meeting. Let's discuss this matter then."
"Xiao'er, the law is for the country and the people, so it's not difficult to do. However, changing the law also requires consultation with all officials."
Hui Chengyuan sighed secretly. It was not necessary to consult with all officials before amending the law. If the amendment was beneficial to the world, the emperor could directly order the amendment. However, his father was already accustomed to this way of doing things.
This approach has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it can prevent the emperor from making wrong decisions, but the disadvantage is that it will foster the hearts of some officials.
"Yes, I understand."
When Hui Chengyuan brought Yuanbao to Changle Palace, Yuan Man and the Queen were eating fruit plates and watching a play, looking very comfortable.
Yuan Man saw the father and son coming, changed his posture and asked while eating fruit: "Have you finished discussing with the emperor?"
"No, I'll discuss it with the ministers at the morning court tomorrow." Hui Chengyuan sat down next to her.
Yuanbao ran to the Queen and said, "Grandmother, Yuanbao wants to eat too."
"Okay, come on, eat a grape." The queen peeled it and put it into his mouth.
Yuan Man looked at Hui Chengyuan in surprise, but then thought of the emperor's character and felt that it was nothing.
"Axiao, it's getting late, let's go back to the Prince's Mansion." It was already the hour of Xu.
"Mother, come back with us to the Prince's Mansion today and stay there for a few days."
Now it was Hui Chengyuan's turn to be surprised, but he immediately smiled and said, "Okay, mother hasn't left the palace for a long time, it would be nice to go out and relax."
Yuan Bao hugged the Queen's arm and jumped up, "Wow, the Empress is going home with us."
After they left the palace, the emperor found out that his daughter-in-law had been abducted by his son and daughter-in-law. The key point was that none of them told him in advance.
He was so angry that he couldn't sleep well at night. He felt angry and aggrieved.
The next morning at the court, the atmosphere was very low. When he saw Hui Chengyuan, he glared at him several times.
Hui Chengyuan lowered his eyes and pretended not to see anything.
How could he refute the decision made by his wife and mother? What's more, he was only going to stay in the prince's mansion for a few days, and his mother would not return to the palace.
When the ministers saw this, they thought that the prince had displeased the emperor and they secretly exchanged glances with each other.
