Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 706

He was inexplicably nervous... What the hell! I'm a father, I can beat him if I want, even if I beat him to death, what's the big deal?

Just when he was stealing a glance at the whispering mother and daughter for the ninth time, Cen Yuan came back.

He looked quite mysterious. He came in and sent away the serving maid first. Then he looked at Shi Anxia and nodded slightly. Then he looked at his mother-in-law Tang Chujun, and walked over to whisper a few words to Tang Chuyu.

Tang Chuyu was originally sitting, but after hearing a few words, he suddenly stood up, looking frightened.

Cen Yuan was calm and turned around and walked out.

When he came in again, he stood by the door, let the other two people go in first, then directed several people to guard the door before slamming it shut.

As soon as he closed the door, Tang Chuyu knelt down and shouted in a low voice, "The emperor has arrived. I am guilty of not welcoming you. I deserve death!"

Shi Anxia supported the bewildered Tang Chujun and knelt down to greet him, "Your Highness, I respectfully welcome you, Father."

Tang Chujun could never have imagined that his daughter and son-in-law would actually invite the emperor. Was he going on a secret visit?

As she thought of this, she quietly raised her head to see what the emperor was wearing, and her eyes met the emperor's.

Ah! I'm so scared! The Emperor is looking at me!

Tang Chujun didn't see anything clearly, so he lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, your servant has greeted you!"

Now that she is divorced, she should be restored to being a "servant daughter" instead of a "servant's wife".

She felt happy when she spoke, and Emperor Mingde felt happy when he heard it.

Emperor Mingde tightened his fingers slightly, and his palms began to sweat. The weather was getting hotter, and it was already May.

Tang Songlin was just stunned, feeling as if he had been struck by thunder. However, even if he had been struck by thunder, he would have to kneel down and pay his respects, "I didn't know that the emperor was visiting incognito, and I failed to welcome you. I deserve death."

Emperor Mingde withdrew his deep gaze from Tang Chujun's head and said lightly, "Get up."

Then he sat on the chair and said, "The Duke of Protectorate is here to answer your questions."

Even though Tang Songlin is a Duke, he actually has very few opportunities to meet the Emperor.

In the past, he had almost always been blending in with the officials in the court to do nothing, just to make up the numbers, and he was still the one who lined up at the front during court sessions.

He was not good at literature, and he was even worse at martial arts. As Tang Chujun said, Tang Songlin was the most mediocre one in the Tang family.

Therefore, Tang Songlin was very afraid of Emperor Mingde, for he was afraid that Emperor Mingde would look at him and say that he only collected salary and ate idle meals without doing any work.

As a result, Emperor Mingde really took notice of him, thinking that he was blocking the view and hindering the ministers from speaking, so he stopped him from attending court.

Fortunately, he continued to receive his salary and his title was not stripped, so he was allowed to continue enjoying the honor of being the Duke of Protector of the Country.

A colleague of his said to him, "You have raised a good son." The implication was that he was able to hold the position of Duke of the Protectorate because of his son Tang Chuyu's ability.

Especially since Tang Chuyu became the Minister of Revenue at a young age, this was the first honor in Beiyi.

But Tang Songlin absolutely refused to admit this.

Now, Emperor Mingde called on Tang Songlin to question him. Tang Songlin, who had just stood up, was so frightened that his knees went weak and he knelt down. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is here!"

Emperor Mingde did not beat around the bush and asked directly, "I heard that when the Hongjiang River burst its dike, the money for disaster relief was given by the Ming family to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion?"

Tang Songlin hated it!

I hate my granddaughter and her gang so much!

Why should we involve Emperor Mingde in family matters?

Tang Songlin was about to open his mouth to deny it, but he heard Emperor Mingde say, "Think it over before you reply, otherwise you will be punished with death for deceiving the emperor! Immediately!"

As the words "behead immediately" came out, Tang Songlin's whole body collapsed and he fell to the ground.
