Chapter 324:1 Won’t Let You Sleep Over
Translator: 549690339
The Xie family couldn’t be bothered with the rumors. The main reason was that they couldn’t be bothered with them. There were too many rumors. They were from the Xie family, Xie Xian, and Xiao Baoxin.
In less than two hours, the rumors in the Ruyi Pavilion had already spread like wildfire.
Other than the grudges between the Xie Clan and the Crown Prince’s clan, a few other clans had also discovered the unusual heavy weapon on the other side.
In the past, the dragon boat races had been full of joy and luck. Even when there was no happy occasion, they would smile like flowers. They would smile so much that their tongues were sticking out. However, today, they did not smile at all. This was not normal.
Even the atmosphere in the Ruyi Pavilion became strange.
###
What was even stranger was naturally Emperor Yu Heng, who did not have the slightest smile on his face.
It was not that he was putting on airs and deliberately making the people below unhappy. If anyone could still maintain a smile after stepping on the stairs and sinking in, he would consider that person to be a lunatic.
There were tens of thousands of people watching the dragon boat race. As the emperor, he couldn’t just walk away and make the people who didn’t know panic.
However, did anyone know about his suffering?
He stood on top and watched the entire process. He was stiff and his heart was filled with goosebumps. He was afraid that he was standing at the wrong place and would directly fall from the second floor and become a bloody mess.
Was there an emperor who was so considerate of the people and took the lead?
In the future, if anyone said that he wasn’t a wise ruler, he would skin that person alive.
Even though different people had already inspected the platform five times, Emperor Yu Heng’s anger was still unappeased. He sent Xie Xian and Pan Shuo to investigate what was going on.
Who knew that in the end, the person in charge of building the imperial viewing platform was the assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, Wang Lun.
However, Wang Lun had entrusted this matter to Sun Sheng, a member of the Ministry of Works. This Sun Sheng had a background.
In recent years, Emperor Yu Heng had been working hard to go against the great clans, recruiting talented people from all over the world, especially those who had recommended themselves in recent years. As long as they were truly talented, they would be put in an important position. Those who did not live up to their names were also dealt with.
This Sun Sheng was a Humble Class talent recommended by someone, and the person who recommended him was Assistant Minister Wang Lun.
Xie Xian wanted to dig even deeper. Although the person who recommended him was Wang Lun, Sun Sheng had another identity. He was the elder brother of the Crown Prince’s concubine, Sun Shi. The meaning behind this was even more profound.
When Xie Xian reported the situation, the Crown Prince’s face almost turned green.
If Xie Xian said that he did not do it on purpose, he would not believe it. His gaze as he looked at Xie Xian was filled with poison. To put it lightly, this matter was caused by the carelessness of the people below and the carelessness of the inspectors, but to put it in a bigger way, it was dereliction of duty. What did he want you to do as a member of the Ministry of Works?
It was the emperor’s imperial platform. If it was done well, even if it was praised, it would be the capital for future promotions. Why did Wang Lun give this opportunity to Sun Sheng? Wasn’t it because of him? Who would have thought that he would be dragged out of such a big event?
The Crown Prince was so regretful that his intestines turned green. He had let people catch him with such a big handle. If the Emperor’s father didn’t take this opportunity to make things up for Xiao Liuzi, he would write his surname backwards.
However, after the dragon boat race was over, Emperor Epsilon did not stay any longer. His legs tightened as he jumped down from the viewing platform and kicked the trembling Sun Sheng in the chest.
Sun Sheng was so scared that his face turned green.
” Emperor, spare my life, spare my life. This lowly official-This lowly official is checking carefully, it can’t be ah-It must be the people below who cut corners-”
Emperor Epsilon was so angry that he wanted to laugh. This was the first time he had seen someone so eager to dig a hole for him. Did he think that this was an excuse to avoid responsibility?
“What do 1 want you to do? The people below are cutting corners, or are you cutting corners?”Emperor Epsilon was furious.” Where’s Minister Xi? Lock him up for interrogation!” I want to see what twists and turns there are in this!”
With a flick of his sleeve, the Emperor left.
“Xie Xian! What do you mean by that?” The Crown Prince took a few steps forward and grabbed Xie Xian’s collar. If not for Pan Shuo stopping him, he would have pounced on him and bitten him to death.
“So many ministers are watching, Crown Prince.””
Prince: With so many officials watching, do you dare not break my little finger?
“The Imperial Platform cut cut corners and damaged the Emperor’s body. This lowly official was ordered by the Emperor to investigate, so I don’t know what the Crown Prince means.”Xie Xian said indifferently.
That calm posture formed a stark contrast with the malevolent Crown Prince, and it also made the Crown Prince gnash his teeth in hatred. Was he talking about this?
If they investigated, then so be it. If they pulled out the Di brother of his concubine, even a dog would not believe that they were not targeting him!
A normal investigation would at most find out that Sun Sheng had been recommended by Wang Lun, but Xie Xian had even pulled away Sun Secondary Consort’s elder brother in front of the Emperor. He did not even leave behind a loincloth for him. The meaning of falling out with him was simply too obvious. This was a direct confrontation!
The Crown Prince was furious. He had lived for so long, and other than the Emperor, he had never seen anyone humiliate him like this!
The scene was obviously a mess. The officials walked slowly, pulling the Emperor far away. When the King of Xin ‘an felt that something was wrong, he turned around and saw the Crown Prince grabbing Xie Xian’s clothes. He subconsciously let out a cry. Emperor Yu Heng, who was in front of him, heard it and quickly turned around. He was so angry that his face turned purple and he suddenly felt dizzy. If it wasn’t for Wei Desheng’s quick reflexes, Emperor Yu Heng would have fallen to the ground.
“Father!” King Xin ‘an was shocked and rushed forward.
“This unfilial son!” Emperor Yu Heng cursed angrily. After a few moments, he pushed Wei Desheng away and strode over to the Crown Prince’s side as if he had been injected with chicken blood. However, he did not look like he was on the verge of collapse at all. He stepped forward and kicked the Crown Prince’s knee before the Crown Prince could react.
“You unfilial son, do you still have the slightest bit of a crown prince?! Disregarding shame and etiquette in public, you still want to hit Minister Xie. Minister Xie is my trusted aide and an important official. Is he someone you, as the Crown Prince, can casually hit?”
Emperor Epsilon was too embarrassed to say that. Even if he was the emperor, he would at most dismiss him from his position and not use him. Why don’t you try hitting a noble family’s finger?
You, a member of the royal family, dare to beat up a member of an aristocratic family, and the other party is an important official of the imperial court. Are you afraid that your image in the history books is too beautiful and you will pour pour shit on yourself?!
“Hurry up and apologize to the minister!” Emperor Yu Heng roared angrily. Brainless thing, the tempo of courting death was so fast that he almost couldn’t catch it.!
The Crown Prince’s face darkened.” It was my fault. Please don’t blame me, Minister Xie.””
How aggrieved.
Xie Xian dusted his clothes and bowed to the Crown Prince. “Forgive me for being bold, but I do not accept such an apology.”
At that time, the Crown Prince was left hanging on the spot. The entire Imperial Platform was silent. They had seen people who were tough, but it was rare to see someone so tough.
Without waiting for Emperor Yu Heng to recover from his shock, Xie Xian gave him a long bow.”Emperor, forgive me. I am not feeling well and will take my leave first.”
“.. Oh.” Emperor Epsilon finally realized that this was the style of an aristocratic family. No matter if you were the crown prince or the emperor, you would do it on the spot and definitely not let you stay overnight..
