After traveling through time, I became Han Zhang’s grandson?

After a few days of calm, at a court meeting one day, led by Prime Minister Han Zhang and assisted by several major ministers, they once again challenged the emperor on the issue of adopting members of the royal family.

The old emperor, who was nearly fifty years old, and Han Da Xianggong, who was already fifty years old, clashed with each other in the hall. In the end, Emperor Renzong was so angry that he had to end the fight abruptly and announced the adjournment of the court.

But when the old emperor returned to the harem, he felt more and more uncomfortable the more he thought about it.

People like Han Da Xianggong and Ouyang Da Xianggong are nothing special. They are at the highest level of officials, selfless, and sincere in serving the country and the people. They can be regarded as models of loyal officials.

But those rotten fish and shrimps below also want to get involved in the matter of establishing a crown prince. Isn't this just playing with the wind, sitting on the fence, and trying to gain the credit of following the emperor?

The more Emperor Renzong thought about it, the angrier he became, and he even brought his anger from the court into this.

"I remember someone reported a few days ago that the children of the Qiu and Sheng families, as well as several other families, had a private gathering to discuss the issue of establishing a crown prince."

"I'll ask the people from the Sheng and Qiu families to stay in the side hall for a while while I take a look at the situation."

Emperor Renzong finally had to make an example of someone to scare the monkeys, to let those with ulterior motives see that this world was still his.

"Yes, I'll do it right away." The eunuch who served the emperor bowed and stepped back, going to the front door to block Sheng Hong and others.

Sheng Hong, who was preparing to go home leisurely after the court session, was suddenly stopped by an eunuch: "Master Sheng, please stay."

"Huh?" Sheng Hong was a little slow to react.

"Your Majesty has asked me to pass on a message, asking you to stay in the palace for a while. Please come in." The eunuch bowed slightly and gestured with his hand.

Sheng Hong looked puzzled: "Oh... then... do you know what this is about?"

"I dare not ask that." The eunuch replied politely.

Seeing the other party walk directly into the palace from the side door, Sheng Hong was stunned for a long time, and then stepped into the palace with a head full of question marks and a trace of fear.

After entering the side hall, the door was immediately closed. Sheng Hong carefully looked out through the crack of the door, and then secretly looked around the side hall.

After finding that there was nothing wrong, he leaned back to look out through the crack of the door again, but accidentally pushed the door open.

The two guards standing outside immediately said, "His Majesty has ordered that Master Sheng wait here and not be allowed to leave."

"Hey hey hey!" Sheng Hong nodded in panic and closed the door of the hall.

While Sheng Hong was anxiously waiting for the emperor to summon him, Wang Ruofu, who was waiting for the official to leave the court at the Sheng Mansion, paced back and forth anxiously.

"It's almost noon, why hasn't the official returned yet? Normally, the court would have been dismissed by this time."

Rulan, who was selecting her armbands, chuckled and said, "Maybe he got delayed on the way."

"Mother, look, my new arm." Rulan showed her arm left and right.

The so-called "襻臂" is a tool that was hung around the neck in the Song Dynasty to lift up the sleeves for easy operation.

"This pattern is the latest in Tokyo. Isn't the color combination beautiful?"

Seeing her mother looking back at her, Ru Lan smiled coquettishly, very happy.

"Spring is almost here, and Miss Wu from the Earl of Yongchang's mansion is going to start getting ready to play polo and chuiwan again. This will be the perfect thing to wear then."

Wang Ruofu sighed helplessly: "You! You think about having fun all day long. You're already at the age to discuss marriage, but you're still so childish."

Rulan pouted and began to explain her theory: "Playing ball and going on an outing is also for the convenience of discussing marriage!"

"I was disrespectful to Madam Wu before, and this is a good opportunity to make up for the lost face."

Wang Ruofu sneered and said with some disdain: "Humph, you can't play polo, and your Chui Wan is just so-so. Don't dream of showing off."

Rulan immediately approached her mother and said in a strong voice, "As for me, I never care about winning or losing. What matters is that I want them to see how I, the legitimate daughter, behave!"

Wang Ruofu frowned when Rulan said this. She originally thought she would scold Rulan for her remarks about "legitimate and illegitimate children", but her mind was not on Rulan at all.

"No, it's almost lunchtime and your father hasn't come back yet."

Rulan looked at her mother speechlessly, turned around and continued to choose a strap, while the lady behind her was still chattering.

"If something delays him and he doesn't go home for dinner, he should send someone back to take care of him."

"Something's wrong, something's wrong..."

And this wait lasted for a whole night.

Sheng Hong was locked up in the palace by the emperor for the entire night and was not allowed to return home, which caused the entire Sheng family to panic.

The moment the first ray of sunlight in the early morning shone into the Sheng family, Xiaotao, who had gone to inquire about the news, rushed into the house.

The Sixth Miss Minglan was waiting for her at the door. Seeing Xiaotao enter the courtyard, she hurriedly asked, "How is it? Father hasn't come back yet?"

Xiao Tao panted slightly and said, "Dong Rong is back. He said he couldn't wait for the master to come out of the palace, so he had to come back to report the news."

"Things are already in chaos at Wei Rui Xuan, and the lady is trying to gather information everywhere."

"I heard..." Xiao Tao hesitated, then said uncertainly, "He was called away alone by an eunuch."

"Called away by the eunuchs?!" Minglan's eyes widened instantly, a little surprised, "Could it be the emperor's intention?"

"But my father is a fifth-rank official and has never made a solo report. If he wants to stay, it must be with several colleagues."

Minglan continued to ponder, deducing the truth of the matter: "It is really strange that father is left alone now."

Xiao Tao listened to her daughter's analysis and looked a little panicked: "Then, then it's not good?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Minglan immediately stopped the other person from speaking.

"I'm afraid this matter isn't that simple. What's important now is to send someone to find out the reason."

Xiao Tao felt relieved a little: "The eldest lady also said so. She wished that the whole family could go out and find a way out."

"Now, my second brother has gone to find the second young master Gu and the first young master Han."

When Minglan heard Xiaotao's words, she frowned and didn't know what to say.

On the other side, Sheng Changbai hurried out to Gu Er's courtyard, but after asking around, he found no other solution.

Gu Tingye pointed out that Princess Pingning of the Duke of Qi's Mansion had grown up in the palace and was deeply loved by the emperor and the empress.

"Also, you can go look for Jingyuan. After all, he is from the prime minister's family, so he should have some inside information." Gu Tingye reminded Sheng Changbai as he looked at Sheng Changbai who was leaving anxiously.

As a result, Sheng Changbai was not paying attention and fell flat on his face. He hurriedly stood up and nodded, then suddenly asked, "You're not leaving now?"

Gu Tingye looked at Sheng Changbai speechlessly: "It's already late, and you're still thinking about me. Go quickly!"

“Uh (⊙o⊙)…” Sheng Changbai was stunned by what he said: “Let’s go!” He said it calmly and left.

Gu Tingye stood there, feeling both amused and helpless, and sighed.

"Daddy!" Rong Jie'er's baby voice came from the courtyard.

"I'm here!" Gu Tingye walked in with a smile and held Rong Jie'er in his arms.

Looking at his lovely daughter, Gu Tingye said softly: "Something happened to your uncle Sheng's father, and he is worried."

"If something happened to your father, wouldn't you be anxious to find me?"

When Nanny Chang, who was sitting nearby sorting out materials, heard this, her expression changed.

"Daddy, don't get into trouble..." Rong Jie'er didn't quite understand but said with concern.

Nanny Chang smiled knowingly and lowered her head to continue tidying up.

Gu Tingye held his daughter in his arms and looked at her for a long time before saying, "When daddy finishes making this kite for you, you will hold daddy in your hands forever."

Rong Jie'er looked at her father carefully, then nodded heavily: "Yes!" Finally, she kissed Gu Tingye on the cheek, which made Gu Tingye's eyes full of pity.

At the same time, Qi Heng, the young master of the Duke of Qi's Mansion, was also worried about the Sheng family. After receiving Sheng Changbai's call for help, he hurriedly asked around.

He even asked his personal attendant Buwei to go to Sheng Mansion and stake out the situation, just to tell Minglan the news as soon as possible.

On the Han family's side, Han Ming also received the news. After thinking about it for a while, he roughly figured out what was going on.

It is estimated that Sheng Changfeng was talking nonsense after drinking and was reported by someone with bad intentions, so that the government believed that the Sheng family was involved in the matter of choosing the crown prince and wanted to make an example of the Sheng family.

However, I cannot say this directly. Firstly, I have not yet guessed what the government is thinking. If I, a time traveler who knows the answer, talk nonsense, I am afraid that the Han family will be dragged into it.

Secondly, the government was just giving Sheng Hong a warning and did not want to kill him, so it was not a serious matter.

After a brief thought, Han Ming instructed, "Yong Zeng, pass a message to Sheng Mansion for me..."

"Yes, brother, I will leave immediately." After hearing what Yong Zeng said, he hurried out.

Watching Yong Zeng leave, Han Ming sighed softly: "Our ancestors taught us that disaster comes from the mouth. As a person, we should learn to be careful with our words and keep our mouths shut."
