The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 273 Beating

"Who else?" asked Emperor Yongfeng.

Prince Rui said slowly: "Your Majesty, think about it. In this matter, the credit of Young Master Lu was taken away on one hand, but the rumor that he was in poor health and unlearned is another.

Lu Tingen wasn't a very important person to begin with, so how come the issue of his son inheriting the title has been brought to the Emperor, asking him to make the decision?"

As soon as these words came out, the eunuch beside the emperor knelt down immediately and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I ask Prince Rui to look into this matter. Although Your Majesty and I brought up this matter, it was definitely not my intention."

Tian Zhong was an old man who had accompanied the emperor for decades, so Emperor Yongfeng naturally would not doubt his loyalty.

Prince Rui also said: "Tian Zhong, the emperor is very busy and can't remember such things clearly. Why don't you tell me what the origin of this matter is!"

Tian Zhong knelt on the ground and dared not move. He just reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead, then said: "I remember this incident clearly. At the beginning, it was the people from the Imperial Astronomical Observatory who came to report that after Lord Lu died, a faint halo appeared at the location of the main star, and the person must be buried immediately to cut off the influence.

How dare we delay such a matter? Let the Imperial Observatory immediately notify the Jing'an Marquisate to bury him as soon as possible."

"Ok!"

King Rui nodded.

The Imperial Astronomical Observatory was responsible for astrology and divination, and all matters concerning the country's destiny and the emperor's safety were given top priority.

This is no small matter and must be dealt with immediately.

Tian Zhong continued, "As for what happened to the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion later, we don't know either. I only heard His Majesty mention it by chance, and then I learned that a minister had submitted a memorial to interfere with the matter of the Marquis's son inheriting the title.

This kind of thing would never reach the emperor, but because of the strange phenomenon discovered by the Imperial Observatory, it is reasonable for everyone to be more cautious."

"So you were so cautious that you followed the minister's advice and proposed to the emperor to confer the title of marquis on that concubine's son?"

"Slave dare not!"

Tian Zhong immediately lowered his head, cold sweat running down his back.

If he admitted to this matter, he would be slandering the emperor. If he didn't admit it, would he let the emperor be blamed for his failure to judge people?

No matter what, it's a death penalty!

The emperor understood what Prince Rui meant, smiled at him and said, "You are still so good at talking!"

Prince Rui cupped his hands, "Your Majesty knows me, I hate to argue! If there is anything powerful, it is my gun that is powerful!"

When King Rui was young, he went into battle with a silver spear and defeated eighteen brave enemy generals. From then on, he became famous. The Silver Moon Spear made the enemies tremble with fear.

So when he said this, he was not showing off, but was just being realistic.

The emperor could tell that he was a little angry, so he comforted him, "I was indeed negligent in this matter, and I didn't expect there would be so many hidden secrets.

According to King Rui, how should this matter be handled? "

Prince Rui looked at Emperor Yongfeng and said, "Your Majesty really wants to ask me?"

"But it doesn't matter!"

King Rui then said: "To judge who is the mastermind of a matter, we should look at who benefits the most in the end."

Emperor Yongfeng did not say anything, but only signaled Prince Rui to continue.

"I will not hide it from the emperor. I did have selfish motives in this matter. The daughter of the Lu family is good friends with my daughter, and I was desperate, so I told her the whole story.

My daughter likes to stand up for the weak and when she found out, she immediately came to me and asked me to make a decision for the orphan and widow left behind by Lu Tingen."

The emperor smiled.

What he admired most about King Rui was that he never hid anything, but laid it all out in front of you, allowing people to see his selfishness and what he wanted.

Emperor Yongfeng had experienced too much intrigue and deception in his life, but he was particularly appreciative and tolerant of people like Prince Rui.

So when he said that he had selfish motives, Emperor Yongfeng was not surprised at all.

"Now that King Rui has learned everything, is he planning to make the decision for them?"

King Rui nodded, "Not only for them, but also for the future of Daliang.

I think some things should be nipped in the bud.”

"Okay, since King Rui has an idea, tell me about it."

Seeing Emperor Yongfeng's attitude, Prince Rui revealed his plan.

"If we follow these steps, we won't have to worry about the person behind the scenes hiding away."

He finally said.

Although he did not mention who was behind the scenes, the emperor knew it clearly.

It's time to give these people a lesson.
