With a serious look on his face, Yun Haotian took the teacup that General Liu had smashed into his hand with a smile, then poured a cup of tea again and handed it to him.
"This matter has finally come to an end. There is still an hour to go before the banquet begins. Will the two old generals take a good look in the royal garden with the prince?"
The old general and General Liu looked at each other and both shook their heads.
"There are still your concubines living in the harem. Now your majesty is entertaining envoys in the royal garden. We male guests will stay here honestly and don't walk around. If you collide with the lady in your Majesty's palace That's a sin
And now the prince called for the emperor, it must be for the sake of the imperial dining room. There were so many people at the banquet who didn't inform the specific time. Such a mistake must have enraged the emperor.
When the prince goes to the imperial study, I'm afraid he will be scolded by the emperor. If he comes to trouble the third prince at that time, the two old ministers will be able to get in the way here.
Seeing that they refused so cleanly, Yun Haotian turned his head to the little eunuch who was following him and said, "look for a pair of chess. I have nothing to do now. The prince is just playing chess with the two old generals to kill time."
The eunuch replied respectfully and stepped back.
Yun Haotian turned his head and said, "these two old generals are not afraid of boredom."
General Ji and General Liu laughed at the same time. "That's why I'll accompany you to the next game today, just to see if the third prince's chess skill has improved."
General Liu also said with a smile: "for the first time, I'll play chess with the prince. I'll just let you see what's outstanding about the third Highness's chess skill."
Two people say, then the matter finalized down, cloud Haotian face is also hanging a smile.
All the people in the imperial garden looked at the scene of the three people talking happily in the pavilion, and their eyes were complicated.
At that time, the atmosphere in the imperial library was even colder.
The two eunuchs in the imperial study stood respectfully behind the emperor with tea, and did not dare to lift their heads.
The emperor, who was dealing with the memorial several days after the case, looked even worse.
Yun Lingtian knelt down in the middle of the hall with a gloomy face. Just on his way, he asked his confidants to check the matter. Before he arrived at the imperial study, he had made it clear.
At such a big banquet, his father handed the matter over to him, but he almost made the whole state of Wu lose face in front of the other three kingdoms.
Think of here, cloud Ling sky's complexion can't help but ugliness a minute, a pair of eyes also full of Yin ruthless.
Just as Yun Ling was thinking about this in his heart, the emperor sitting on the top finally got a move.
When the emperor moved, Yun Lingtian's face immediately changed. He knelt down in the center of the hall in a submissive and clever manner.
He took a sip of the tea and moistened his throat. Then the emperor said slowly, "why did I ask you to come here?"
As soon as the words were heard, the atmosphere inside the hall became more serious.
The two eunuchs who were waiting on the emperor wanted to bury their heads under the ground.
Cloud Ling day in the heart of a meal, the emperor actually so straightforward to speak out, visible gas is not light.
With this thought, Yunling was more cautious. After pondering for a moment, he said, "if you go back to your father, my son has just come here, and then he knows that there has been such a big mistake. My father will give this matter to my son, but my son is almost..."
At this point, Yun Lingtian's face was full of remorse. Without saying a word, he kowtowed, "this matter will come to an end. My son will take most of the responsibility. Please punish him."
Cloud Lingtian said, and heavy kowtow, heart is very uneasy.
Now the matter has come to this point. Instead of sophisticating that you don't know it and putting all the responsibility on your servants, you'd better recognize it and leave an impression of bravery in your father's heart.
And although this matter is a mistake, but in the end did not lead to any big mistake, even if the emperor's punishment, presumably will not be too heavy.
Think of here, cloud Ling day heart quietly relaxed tone, but the face is still a pair of remorse and remorse appearance.
Sitting on the Dragon chair, the emperor looked at the cloud Lingtian kneeling below, and his majestic eyes narrowed slowly.
The hand holding the tea cup rubbed the cup, just when Yun Lingtian could not hold on, he opened his mouth.
"You really have an unshirkable responsibility for this matter!"
The emperor then said: "but the order is just spread out. If the people at the bottom make mistakes, the responsibility is not entirely on you. But I've handed this matter over to you. Now there's such a big mistake. I'm going to give an account to other people in the palace. "
After a while, he said, "if that's the case, I will punish you for one year's salary and make an example of you by thinking behind closed doors for ten days."
Hearing the emperor's words, Yun Ling took a breath in the heart of heaven. Then he put it down and knelt down to thank him. "My son accepts the crime."One year's salary and ten days' reflection behind closed doors are the lightest punishment.
He didn't pay much attention to the money that influenced his salary. As long as he could get rid of it, everything would be easy to say.
Yun Lingtian quietly breathed a sigh of relief. In his own eyes, it was not aware of it, but it could not escape the eyes of the emperor sitting above.
He narrowed his eyes slightly. The emperor put down the tea cup in his hand and asked casually: "this matter is thanks to your third younger brother. If he didn't find out the problem in time, it would not be so easy to solve."
Cloud Ling in the sky eye crossed a touch of gloomy, but on the face is a pair of moved appearance, "the father emperor said is good, after the banquet, the son minister must go to thank three younger brothers."
This is true or false, the emperor does not care, he just want an attitude.
Thinking of this, the emperor waved his hand to the man in front of him, "OK, there are still many adults waiting in the royal garden. You can go and entertain them."
Yun Lingtian respectfully answered "yes", and then retreated.
The door of the imperial study opened and then closed again.
The emperor rubbed the time piece wearily and whispered to the little eunuch beside him: "go and call Li Shu in."
Li Shu, the emperor's front manager, is the name of Li Gonggong.
In this palace, only the emperor calls it that way.
The eunuch answered and trotted out all the way. After a while, father-in-law Li came in holding the dust.
"Slave, see your majesty."
The emperor waved his hand. Li Gonggong stood up and looked at the empty tea cup in front of the emperor. He quickly asked someone to bring a cup of hot tea again.
As expected, the emperor was satisfied. He took a sip of hot tea and asked, "what do you think of today's affair?"
Mr. Li squeezed his hand slightly and looked up carefully at his Majesty's face.
He guessed his Majesty's meaning in his heart. Duke Li said cautiously: "this is a big deal. I'm a eunuch who doesn't know anything. How can I know?"
Listening to Li Gonggong's reply, the emperor snorted coldly, but he didn't ask.
Li Gonggong was also relieved. His majesty just asked casually. If he had answered, it would be even worse to reply now!
Thinking, Mr. Li was more cautious.
……
On the other side, out of the imperial study, he turned to the cloud in the sky at the entrance of the imperial garden. His face turned gloomy in an instant.
The little eunuch who followed him looked at his master's ugly face and immediately kept silent.
The master and servant returned to the Royal Garden, and the emperor had just given an imperial edict to tell them the exact time.
Although the ministers in the Royal Garden doubted that his majesty had suddenly changed the time, no one dared to inquire.
Towards noon, the remaining ministers came to the royal garden one after another, and those who knew each other knew what was going on.
Now that I know it, I will have a decision and an idea in my heart.
Your Majesty's will can be quietly changed on the way. Today's banquet is not peaceful.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the imperial garden was also filled with some tension.
Until Yun Lingtian strides into the Royal Garden, the ministers of the crown prince party surround him one after another.
Yun Lingtian waved his hand and strode towards the pavilion where Yun Haotian was.
Inside the pavilion, Yun Haotian and General Liu are playing chess soundly.
With a cup of hot tea in his hand, general Ji watched the two fight with great interest.
From the corner of my eye, I saw that Yunling was coming fiercely and coughed twice to remind me.
Holding Baizi in his hand, yunhaotian, who is thinking about how to take the next step, hears the cough of general Ji and looks at him with some doubts. At the same time, he also sees yunhaotian who has come here.
On the face originally relaxed smile suddenly a change, has restored in the past that pair of idle appearance.
General Liu looked up and naturally saw the people coming this way.
The two old generals looked at each other and sat in the same place.
Yun Lingtian has already come to the entrance of the pavilion. It's too much to pretend to be invisible at this time.
After putting down his chess pieces, Yun Haotian stood up, followed by general Ji and General Liu.
"Yes, your highness."
Three people salute together, cloud Ling in the sky eye glided one to put on the gloomy, but on the face is hanging the genial smile to swing the hand.
"Two old generals are free."
Then he went to yunhaotian and helped him up. "You're welcome, my brother. Why do you need such a big gift?"
Such a polite attitude makes Yunhao slip a touch of caution in his heart.
General Ji and General Liu are still sitting in Diaoyutai, enjoying their tea.Looking at the chessboard on the table, Yun Lingtian sat down beside the old general with a smile.
