Emperor Jianhe did not say anything. It was unclear whether he agreed with Zhao Ren's words or was so angry that he was shaking and unable to speak.
Emperor Jianhe did not say anything. It was unclear whether he agreed with Zhao Ren's words or was so angry that he was shaking and unable to speak.
He pressed his temple hard, veins on his forehead bulged slightly, and he showed a painful expression.
Zhao Ren was so frightened that his face turned pale: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you okay? Imperial Physician, please call the Imperial Physician?"
Emperor Jianhe was so angry that he had a splitting headache.
The imperial physician arrived quickly and took the emperor's pulse after paying his respects.
Headache was an old problem. Acupuncture had been effective in treating it, and the emperor's headache was relieved a lot. But he was so angry that his headache suddenly flared up severely.
"Is it serious?" Zhao Ren asked nervously.
The imperial physician replied, "It's nothing serious. I will give Your Majesty acupuncture to relieve the headache first, and Your Majesty will drink the medicine to calm your mind for two days."
Emperor Jianhe: "Yes."
After the imperial physician finished acupuncture and left, he heard a palace servant outside report: "Your Majesty, Prince Pingyang wants to see you."
Fu Zheng?
Emperor Jianhe's face immediately darkened. When he learned that the empress dowager had issued an imperial decree to appoint him as the Minister of Revenue, the emperor tacitly agreed that Fu Zheng had defected to the empress dowager. The thought of it made his internal organs aching.
Zhao Ren glanced at the emperor cautiously and dared not say a word.
After a while, Emperor Jianhe said, "Announce."
Zhao Ren then shouted towards the palace gate: "Announce the King of Pingyang."
Fu Zheng walked into the Qianqing Palace and saw Emperor Jianhe half lying on the couch because of a headache.
"I am here to see you, Your Majesty."
Fu Zheng knelt down and saluted.
"Stand up." Emperor Jianhe said expressionlessly.
After Fu Zheng stood up, Emperor Jianhe asked again: "Is there something wrong?"
"Your Majesty, Lu Xuan has gone to Jingzhao Yin to confess that he had plotted to wrongly accuse me." Fu Zheng said.
Emperor Jianhe said with a sullen face, "The Jingzhao Yin has already reported this to me. I did not expect Yu Jing to be so bold and even deceived me. You have been wronged. I was just about to issue an edict to clear your name, but I heard that the Queen Mother has already issued an edict to appoint you as the Minister of Revenue. I am not as concerned as the Queen Mother."
When the emperor said the last sentence, there was a hint of gnashing of teeth in his voice.
Fu Zheng bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I am here for the Queen Mother's reward."
Emperor Jianhe narrowed his eyes and looked at Fu Zheng: "Does Prince Pingyang feel that the Queen Mother's reward is not enough and needs another reward from me?"
His voice was indifferent, but if you listened carefully, there was a hint of threat in it.
Fu Zheng looked up at Emperor Jianhe and said with an embarrassed look: "Your Majesty, I know that my ability is limited. I am afraid that I am not qualified for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, so please take back this position. And I think that if you want to promote me, I would like Your Majesty to give me a promotion, so that I can feel at ease."
Emperor Jianhe was stunned when he heard this. He really didn't expect Fu Zheng to think this way.
But it is undeniable that a hint of joy rose in his heart.
The kind of person that the empress dowager tried so hard to win over just didn't buy her account and was instead completely devoted to the emperor.
"Are you sincere in what you said, my dear?" Emperor Jianhe straightened up and looked at Fu Zheng without blinking.
His stern expression instantly softened, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Fu Zheng nodded, and then he didn't know what he thought of. He rubbed his hands and grinned, saying: "Of course, if the emperor can reward me with more gold, I will be grateful."
This greedy look immediately made Emperor Jianhe laugh: "You, after all, are a dignified prince, how can you be so greedy for money."
