?Chapter 47

The court hall was silent, and the officials of the two factions rarely lowered their heads in unison. No one dared to speak first, for fear of saying the wrong thing, and letting the furious Huai Jun turn his fire on them would be asking for trouble.

Some of them trembled slightly, their heads lowered even lower, knowing that this disaster cannot be avoided.

Prime Minister Mo, who was headed by the head, looked at Huai Jun, who was showing blue veins and sullen face, and was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Huai Jun had been in power for a while, and his arrogance became more and more powerful, but he thought about it again. It's nothing more than gentle and refined, but it's a pity that there is Nuo Xu in the court to fight against him, how can being gentle and refined be able to defeat Nuo Xu's growing reputation?

But now Huaijun does have an extra imperial demeanor. Prime Minister Mo suddenly remembered that when Shengshang was young, he was so arrogant and indulgent that everyone in the world had to follow his wishes. A seat is suitable for him, otherwise he will either have trouble with others or himself in this life.

Prime Minister Mo didn't know if this position made the Holy Majesty feel better, but he only knew that the Holy Majesty did not take the position he most wanted in his life after all.

Now they are all gray at the temples, the wanton affairs of that day are a thing of the past, the ministers in the court have changed again, the emperor on the dragon chair has stepped out of the dragon chair in half a step, and he, the right prime minister, has not withdrawn , at least he is still standing here.

He took a step forward, and a deep voice sounded: "Your Highness, this matter is of great importance, and I believe that we should withdraw and investigate first."

Huai Jun snorted coldly, swept his eyes sharply across the ministers who bowed their heads, and said in a cold voice: "His Highness has already investigated this matter clearly." He glared at the trembling person behind Nuo Xu, He raised his voice and asked, "Master He, how do you explain this matter!"

Mr. He who was called was so frightened that his old heart would jump out. He knelt down with a "Huo", his whole body was shaking violently. He lowered his head and said repeatedly: "Please be angry, Your Highness. I don't know. I don't know anything!"

"Master Han, what about you?"

There was another "Huo" sound behind Nuo Xu, he frowned, and heard a hoarse voice behind him stammering again: "I should, I should, I don't know anything."

"I don't know anything," Huai Jun nodded, but his eyes were even colder: "You are a household minister and a household servant, but you don't know anything when something happens? Then this official still wants you to do it?"

"The minister is guilty!" The two said in unison, waiting for Nuo Xu to speak in their hearts.

Nuo Xu frowned, but didn't intend to say anything, and shook her hand quietly, signaling Yong Ting not to be impulsive.

"The Pingyang earthquake at the beginning of the year, the imperial court appropriated 20 taels of silver, but now people are starved to death, what are you to blame!" Huai Jun said sharply: "At the court meeting, the Holy Majesty asked more than once about the disaster in Pingyang, and you kept saying that the disaster has been over. Under control, what now? The people are suffering, where did the 20 taels of silver go?"

"Chen, Chen..." Mr. He trembled, his expression flickered, and he dared not speak.

"Don't you know?" Seeing the two nodding their heads, Huai Jun sneered and said, "It's okay, I'll let His Highness tell you! Of the 20 taels of silver, Mr. He swallowed 8 taels, and Mr. Han swallowed 7." Two, the remaining 5 taels will be sent over, and the prefect of Henan will swallow some, and the county magistrate of Pingyang will swallow some, you officials are really nourishing!"

Mr. He swallowed nervously, Mr. Han's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, the two of them looked at Nuo Xu's tall back helplessly, the next moment, Nuo Xu spoke up: "This wind will not last long, Your Highness should kill chickens to warn monkeys, lest the common people suffer."

Hearing this, the two softened their bodies, only then did they realize that Nuo Xu didn't intend to save them.

"As officials, you are the officials of the common people, your parents, not your own officials!" Huai Jun glanced at the officials again, and his voice was extremely majestic.

Mo Cheng was quite comforted by Huai Jun's remarks. To sit on that dragon chair, one must love the people like a child.

Huai Jun thought for a while and said, "Cut off the official posts of the two men, think about their mistakes behind closed doors, and make a decision after the Holy One wakes up."

He and Han looked at each other in dismay, feeling relieved, but vaguely feeling that something was wrong.Although waiting for the sage to wake up, it is unknown whether the sage can wake up.

"Your Highness is wise." Prime Minister Mo said first, and then all the officials shouted: "Your Highness is wise!"

At that moment, Huai Jun understood that this was the power he had longed for all along. It could not only benefit the people, but also be looked up to by all people, which made him suddenly feel that no matter how much he made mistakes or lost in the past, it was all worth it.

After discussing a few more things, he withdrew.

After the ministers retreated, Yong Ting deliberately kept Nuo Xu, raised his voice, turned his back to Huai Jun and said, "Didn't Pu'er say that he would go to Shangyang Palace this morning?"

Nuo Xu was stunned for a moment, and then responded after understanding: "En."

"He goes to Shangyang Hall every day, and he thought he was your guest if he didn't say anything."

Nuo Xu smiled, "I don't mind him being my guest, it's better than being alone in the Hall of Zhaohe, with magnolia flowers in the pretense of being with him, who doesn't know who he wants to be with most."

The voices of the two were neither high nor low, just falling into Huai Jun's ears. Huai Jun looked at the backs of the two coldly, suppressing the urge to step forward and punch them.

"If it were me, I wouldn't come back no matter what. Wouldn't it be uncomfortable for me to come back?"

Huai Jun clenched his fists, but still stood still, but his eyes were ignited with raging anger.

"He doesn't want to come back, but is there a way?" Nuo Xu stepped forward and said with a smile as he walked, "But it's fine to come back, come on, you come too..."

Suddenly, a deep voice came from behind them, and when they turned around, they realized that Huai Jun had walked behind them.

"I know what you're thinking, but I would like to advise you, don't think about Pu'er again."

Nuo Xu raised his eyebrows, feeling amused in his heart, and asked, "What's our plan for Pu'er?" Without giving Huai Jun a chance to answer, he leaned into Huai Jun's ear and whispered, "Above the hall, Your Highness really wants to say such unethical things?"

"You!" Huai Jun looked sideways at Nuo Xu's very close face, his pair of single phoenix eyes were full of provocation, but he could only turn his head away and didn't reply.

Nuo Xu raised his head and laughed "haha" a few times, and then said to Yong Ting: "Go, don't keep Pu'er waiting." After finishing speaking, the two raised their feet again and walked side by side.

Hearing Nuo Xu calling Chen Pu affectionately, Huai Jun was furious, saying that he wanted to endure but couldn't bear it, so he had to warn the two of them again: "You know what I say..."

Yong Ting suddenly turned his head, sneered, and interrupted his words: "Of course I understand what your highness said, but I dare to say what your highness dare not say. Does your highness think that the tricks of the past can still be used? Heaven and man The taste of eternity, I will try it once in my life, and then," Yong Ting opened his eyes angrily, and shouted: "I'm just waiting for you to try it!"

"Yong Ting! Stop talking!" Nuo Xu sternly stopped him, glanced at Huai Jun, saw that he was flushed from neck to face, and dragged Yong Ting away.

Along the way, Nuo Xu frowned and kept silent until they were far away from the main hall and there were fewer people around, then he said to Yong Ting seriously: "You were too impulsive just now."

"I just can't understand his self-righteous appearance." Yong Ting snorted, and said resentfully: "Being an official of the people is really sweet, and I don't even think about how he got this prince!"

"He's right. Those officials deserve such nourishment. They should have been severely punished. Otherwise, it would be the common people who would suffer."

After hearing this, Yong Ting couldn't help widening his eyes, and asked in disbelief, "You knew about this a long time ago?"

Nuo Xu nodded, admitted, and sneered at He and Han in his heart, they thought he would not do anything, but he is not the only one who can move them in this world.Now that he is in the hands of the prince, he can only regret why he was so greedy back then!

"You should do your best to protect them!" Yong Ting said angrily, "You have spent so much effort to win them over. Even if they deserve to die, we ruined a household department for nothing!"

"Yong Ting," Nuo Xu said sternly with a stern face, "The first thing in the court is to seek the well-being of the country and the common people. Don't get angry because of grievances!"

It's rare to see Nuo Xu, who has always been easy-going, get angry, and Yong Ting has no choice but to suppress his resentment.And when he calmed down and thought about it, he agreed with Nuo Xu's words.

He glanced at Nuo Xu's dignified face, and couldn't help but think, what if he was allowed to become the prince as he wished that day?Seeing Nuo Xu acting cautiously over the years, he always had to admit that he was too impulsive and reckless, but now comparing the two, he is indeed not as good as Nuo Xu.

Over the years, he has become more and more convinced of Nuo Xu. He realized that he was wrong, so he said, "Brother Huang, I understand."

"En." The stern face slowly relaxed, and the next moment, he let out another "ah" and said, "I also don't like Huai Jun's arrogance, but Pu'er is his lifeblood after all." , don’t say those words next time.”

"Fate?" Yong Ting laughed contemptuously.

Nuo Xu also smiled, "Pu'er is indeed his lifeblood, if something happens to his lifeblood, he will definitely kill us."

Yong Ting shrugged his shoulders with a look of indifference, three years ago he put his own life and death aside, all he wanted was Huai Jun's life.

He said frankly: "Either I killed him or he killed me, Brother Huang, my lifeline is gone long ago, I am not afraid of anything." He added another sentence in his heart - to meet Min Luo sooner , it is not impossible.

The south wind is blowing, and the warmth is warm, but for Yong Ting, the warmth in his life has long gone with Min Luo, and now his heart is colder than ice.

Nuo Xu knew his obsession, and never said anything, because it was the only support for him to survive.It's just that sometimes when he was in the middle of the night, he would always think helplessly that they were lucky to be brothers in this life, but the brotherhood was so shallow.

He patted Yong Ting's back and said with a smile, "Let's go."

At this time Huai Jun had returned to Renfu Palace, he was sitting in the Hall of Books, holding a Fengping flute in his hand, thinking about people and things, and thinking about people when seeing things, but the person he missed was sitting in Shangyang Palace at the moment, Far from him.

His mind was full of the words of Nuo Xu and Yong Ting, and his heart was full of jealousy and hatred.He brought Chen Pu back in order to stay with him forever, not to see this person and that person next to him.

He began to imagine that Yong Ting had a pitiful look when he told Chen Pu what happened to Min Luo that day, and Nuo Xu also took advantage of Chen Pu's soft heart to fan the flames.

They just can't see Chen Pu coming back to his side, they just can't see him live well and happily!

However, Chen Pu knew in his heart that he still had him, and their relationship could no longer be destroyed!

With a sound of "pa", he slammed his palm on the table forcefully, finally couldn't hold back, stood up, and hurriedly walked to the Shangyang Hall, which he rarely went to every day.
