Chapter 72: Great Wisdom and Ruo Fool
“Sometimes you think it is a good thing, but the ending may not be good. Some things you think are bad, but the ending may not be bad. And your dowry has not been decided. , what the future holds is yet to be determined,” Mrs. Sheng said.
"Grandma, granddaughter understands." Minglan said.
“Oh?”
Old Mrs. Sheng said with great interest: “What do you understand?”
"The future is unknown. Face it bravely. Even bad things can be turned into good things through your own efforts. Feeling sorry for yourself will only make things worse." Minglan said with a smile.
Old Mrs. Sheng was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect Minglan to say such insightful words.
After a long time, Mrs. Sheng came back to her senses, rubbed her head and said, "You are right, it's getting late, let's rest early."
After that , Mrs. Sheng got up and walked out.
"Old madam, are Miss Six okay?" Fang's mother asked.
"Haha, that girl is soberer than anyone else." Mrs. Sheng said with a smile.
......
"Your Highness is not well!" Liu Sanshi hurried into the study.
Zhao Xing was looking at Zha Zi. When he heard this, he said angrily: "The sky is falling? How can you be in such a panic?"
"I know my mistake." Liu Sanshi Bowed.
"Tell me what happened?" Zhao Xing asked.
"Your Highness, this morning the Censor Zhongcheng Feng Deguang impeached Your Highness." Liu Sanshi said.
"Impeach the orphan?"
Zhao Xing was stunned when he heard this. He was the prince, the crown prince of the Song Dynasty. How dare anyone dare to impeach him?
But when he thought that those censors dared to confront his father, it was not impossible to impeach him.
"Why did he impeach me?" Zhao Xing asked curiously.
He is not involved in government affairs now, so why should Feng Deguang impeach him?
"He impeached His Highness to go to a brothel in disguise, and took the brothel girl back to the East Palace. He also lost the dignity of the Crown Prince. He asked the officials to strictly control His Highness the Crown Prince. Many officials in the Yushitai agreed." Liu Sanshi said. .
"No, it's not the first time that Gu Weifu has gone out to play, and it's not the first time that Fan Lou has gone. Why didn't he impeach him before? There must be something wrong with it." Zhao Xing frowned.
Yushi Zhongcheng is the leader of the Yushitai. It is normal for someone to follow the Yushitai and second his opinions. Zhao Xing does not find it strange.
But Feng Deguang's impeachment itself was weird.
He is the only son in the official family, and it is impossible to change the prince. Doesn't Feng Deguang know that this kind of impeachment will not have any impact on him, but will make him unhappy.
It would be normal if Feng Deguang was the kind of upright person, but Feng Deguang is obviously not, otherwise he should have been impeached long ago.
"Your Highness, Feng Zhongcheng was the imperial censor five years ago. It was Feng Zhongcheng who was sent by the government to investigate the burning of food grains in Shezhou," Liu Sanshi said.
“That’s it.”
His father asked him not to care about Li Daoquan's affairs, so Zhao Xing told Liu Sanshi not to investigate. Therefore, he did not know that Feng Deguang was the person who was sent to Shezhou to investigate the case.
Now that Liu Sanshi reminds me, everything can be figured out.
Feng Deguang should know that he took Li Wanling back to the East Palace, and he became suspicious.
After all, he is only over eight years old now, and he is not a womanizer. What's more, although Li Wanling is pretty, Zhao Xing is a prince, and the maids around him are no worse than Li Wanling, so it is unlikely that he will look at it. Enter Li Wanling.
So Feng Deguang was worried that he brought Li Wanling back because of what Li Wanling said to him.
That's why this impeachment happened.
"What did the father say?" Zhao Xing asked.
"The officials just said they knew, and didn't say anything else. However, the people of Bianjing are praising Feng Zhongcheng for his uprightness and courage to give advice." Liu Sanshi said.
“Bang!”
Hearing this, Zhao Xing started to slap the case and said angrily: “Damn it!”
Feng Deguang impeached him in order to conceal what happened back then, but instead gained a good reputation.
As a result, wouldn’t my reputation be ruined?
Although the people dare not discuss the prince in public, they will definitely do so in private.
"Your Highness, calm down!" Liu Sanshi and Sanshui were startled and hurriedly advised.
“Huh.”
Zhao Xing took a deep breath and said, "Is there a way to make Gu Gu vent his anger?" Feng Deguang obviously had a guilty conscience, which also proved that what Li Wanling said was true.
As long as his father sends someone to bring Li Daoquan back, Feng Deguang will end up miserable.
But this all takes time, and Zhao Xing cannot bear it for that long.
“This…”
Liu Sanshi looked embarrassed. Yu Shi Zhongcheng was a senior official of the third rank, so there was nothing he could do.
"Your Highness!"
At this moment, a eunuch came in and saluted: "The grandson of Duke Gan, the Dalang of the Gan family is outside asking for an audience."
"Gan Dalang ?" Zhao Xing was startled when he heard this and asked: "What is he here for?"
"He said he came to thank His Highness," the young eunuch said.
"Thank you? You're here to apologize, right? Let him go back, just say Gu... wait, bring him to see Gu." Zhao Xing said.
"Yes." The little eunuch responded and retreated.
After a while, he led a tall and strong man in.
The strong man was visually measured to be 1.9 meters tall. He had a fleshy face and a very muscular figure, which made the brocade clothes on his body bulge out.
"Your Highness, Dalang of the Gan family brings you here." said the little eunuch.
"I pay my respects to Your Highness!" Gan Dalang bowed and saluted.
Zhao Xing waved his hand and asked the eunuch leading the way to step back, and said, "No courtesy."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
"Why did you come to visit me?" Zhao Xing asked.
“I’m here to thank His Highness.” Gan Dalang said in a loud voice.
"Are you sure it wasn't your father who asked you to apologize?" Zhao Xing asked.
Before, the little eunuch reported that Gan Dalang came to express his thanks, but he thought that the little eunuch had heard wrongly.
Now that he saw Gan Dalang, he still said he came to say thank you, which made him a little strange.
He only heard that Gan Dalang was a little stunned, but not that he was stupid.
I had someone put him in jail, but he came to thank me.
Thank you for what? Are you grateful that you put him in jail?
"Your Highness, I took action because Wei Sanlang did not return the jade pendant left by my biological mother. Your Highness ordered people to put us in prison. After we were released, Wei Sanlang gave us the jade pendant. I sent it back. I asked for it several times but he didn't give it to me. I returned it suddenly because of His Highness, so I came to thank His Highness."
"Why do you think it was Gu who asked Wei Sanlang to return the jade pendant to you?" Zhao Xing asked.
Gan Dalang scratched his head and said with a naive smile: "I don’t know, I just feel it."
Zhao Xing: "..."
Is this great wisdom and foolishness?
In fact, through Gan Dalang's words, he could roughly guess the reason.
He didn't know why Wei Sanlang took Gan Dalang's jade pendant and refused to give it to him, but the parents of both parties probably didn't know about it.
Because of him, things got into a big mess. After Wei Sanlang was released, his father would definitely ask him the reason for the conflict with Gan Dalang.
Then the matter of returning the jade pendant came about.
But looking at Gan Dalang's appearance, it was obvious that he didn't know this.
"Since you came to thank Gu, why did you come empty-handed?" Zhao Xing asked.
"Your Highness, because I got into trouble, my father cut off my monthly payment. I was still not allowed to go out. I ran out over the wall and had no money to buy gifts. How about I give you a compliment? How big is that?" Gan Dalang said and was about to kneel down.
“Wait!”
Zhao Xing quickly stopped him and said, “Forget it and kowtow. If you really want to thank me, do me a favor.”
He could finally see that Gan Dalang was indeed a fool, but he could feel safe using such a person.
"If your Highness has anything to do, just ask him, I will definitely do it." Gan Dalang said, patting his chest.
“Come closer.”
Zhao Xing waved, waited for Gan Dalang to approach, and whispered a few words.
After hearing this, Gan Dalang banged his chest and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I'm the best at beating people."
