24 Best laid plan 2 (1/2)
In the imperial court, all the ministers were exchanging nervous whispers as they had been inform that his Majesty was in the bad mood.
It was already ten in the morning and the court session were supposed to start at nine.
In the left side Minister Xu of finance and Zhang diànxià was discussing something, while in the right side, Prime Minister Yan was rather calm but who would have known that he was also anxious inside.
If his Majesty is indeed in a bad mood, then it must had something to do with
Tàizǐ diànxià.
Andwhat makes it worst is that Tàizǐ
diànxià is also attending a court every morning but this time, he was not arround.
”Did you informed them?”
Zhang diànxià secretly asked Minister Xu, his uncle. He nodded and took a glanced toward Prime Minister Yan that happened to take a glanced towards him.
”Lets see how Fù huáng will react this.!” He smiled wickedly.
Minister Xu smirked.”I hope that old fool will be shaken this time!”
Then they saw his Majesty emerge at the back. He was coming to sit in his throne.
”Greetings huángshang!”
They kneel down before his Majesty cupping one hand in other before their chest and bow down their heads into the ground.
”wànsuì, wànsuì, wànwànsuì !”
”Rise!”
Eunuch Li repeated what his Majesty said into the minister.!
His Majesty's face was indeed in a bad mood, his brows almost meet in between and he seems to be furious.
”If there is no memorials today then lets end this court session immediately!”
There was an annoyance in his voice.
”Huángshang!”
Minister of war suddenly come forward.
”What is that?”
Huángshang asked impatienly.
”I have something to report, a memorial arrived from the border in the south!”
Huángshang give a signal to Eunuch Li to go and fetch the memorial from Minister Yan Li.
While Zhang diànxià and Minister Xu look in each other, puzzled.
Huángshang sat straight when he read the content of the memorial.
”Who sent this?”
”In reply to you Huángshang,
It was a convoy from the south!”
”Hào.! We will discuss this the day after tomorrow.!
”Huángshang.!”
Again another minister had called his Majesty. He glared at the man imperiously.
”What is it?
He frowned, this time he did not bother to hide his annoyance.
”Huángshang we have something to discussed with Tàizǐ diànxià!”
All the ministers exchange curious look and whispers after they heard what assistance of justice had said.
”Imprudent!”
Huángshang voiced roared and everyone jerked.
”What is that you want to discussed with him that you can't speak to me?”
Zhang diànxià, secretly inform minister Xu to add fuel in the fire.
”Huángshang. .its about what Tàizǐ diànxià has instructed us. .I. .”
Minister Xu deliberately look arround to find Tàizǐ but he was no where to be found.
”We wonder why Tàizǐ diànxià did not attend the session today. .
He then took a glanced towards the Prime Ministers side and smirked.
As if saying. ”How will you handle this things?!”
It had known to them that Duke Yan is always in a Crown Prince side.
Prime Minister Yan expression remain blank.
”Unless something happened. . that we don't know!”
Upon hearing it Huángshang almost shouted at the old fool.
”Fù huáng. ! We are just wondering why Taizi ge is not arround. .could that be the humor is true that. .
”What humor?!”
Huángshang frowned and asked Zhang
diànxià grimly.
”That he was. .
”That I was what.?”
They suddenly heard a voice. .their eyes widened in shock as they saw the Crown Prince alive and well, infront of them.
”Fù huáng, Er'chen was late. .I deserved to be punished.!”
