Chapter 463
The court talks about other things again.
Compared to the goddess of the North Mountain, there are more important court affairs.
For example, as the military newspaper said, there seems to be abnormal changes on the border between Nansheng and Dayun recently.
Emperor Jing Yuan's eyebrows quickly frowned after his crown, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.
Sure enough, the next moment, a court official stood up and said that Nan Sheng’s abnormal movement must be due to the departure of Duke Huo Zhang of Chu.
The court officials were also loyal and clear-headed people. They kept mentioning the importance of the Duke of Chu to the southern border and suggested that the Duke of Chu should return to the southern border as soon as possible to stabilize the morale of the army and dispel Nan Sheng's unfaithful intentions.
Not long ago, Emperor Jingyuan, who was dissatisfied with the Duke of Chu entering the capital, heard the court officials suggesting that Duke of Chu return to the southern border, but he did not agree immediately.
He didn't want to see Duke Chu Huo Zhang wandering in front of him, but the old guy with a violent temper was unable to do anything due to military power. He was really a thorn in his heart.
It was not until the national teacher reminded him that he suddenly realized that the Duke of Chu who stayed in Chang'an was much better than the Duke of Chu who stayed in the southern border.
In Chang'an, according to the rules, the hundreds of thousands of troops of Duke Chu remained in the southern border and could not leave. Duke Chu returned to the capital and only brought a few personal soldiers, just like a tiger with teeth drawn.
However, even if he was in the southern border, the Duke of Chu was the king, and he could also refuse Emperor Jingyuan's imperial edict on the grounds that he would not accept the orders of the king outside. The hundreds of thousands of troops under his command were enough to prevent Emperor Jingyuan from sleeping every night, but the complete and ferocious tiger was much more dangerous than the Duke of Chu in Chang'an.
The words of the national master reminded Emperor Jingyuan and also asked Emperor Jingyuan to reverse his original idea and did not really want the Duke of Chu to go back.
At this moment, a court official mentioned the turmoil in the southern border, and he subconsciously resisted and refused to agree, so he did not give a single response after the court official reported it.
He suddenly felt suspicious, thinking that the rebellion in the southern border had anything to do with the Duke of Chu. He had been operating in the southern border for many years and could use a reasonable name to help him go back.
His silence made the courtiers a little anxious, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Chu is like a Dinghai Sword Needle in the Southern Territory, and he must go back!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the courtier thought to himself that he was terrible.
Emperor Jing Yuan really shook his face.
"What Chen Qing means is that no one can shock Nan Sheng except Duke of Chu? It turns out that my Dayun court has withered to this point?"
All the court officials in the court leaned over and said they didn't dare.
"I will discuss this matter later!"
The more Emperor Jing Yuan thought about it, the more he felt that there was something wrong with the chaos in the southern border, and he was unwilling to get involved with the ministers again, so he immediately left.
"The prince comes with me!"
After the ministers dispersed, only the prince followed Emperor Jingyuan to the study room in the back hall.
Emperor Jingyuan stood tall behind the table, and the prince stood with his hands down, as he always was respectful.
But he lowered his head and his face was hidden in the shadows. Emperor Jing Yuan could not see clearly what he was now.
When Emperor Jing Yuan turned around and saw the prince's appearance, he was inexplicably displeased and shouted: "Look up!"
The prince then looked up and still had the style of a gentleman and elegant crown prince. He also retained his yearning and admiration for his father, which was not much different from the past.
Emperor Jing Yuan thought to himself that he should be too concerned. He leisurely sat down on the dragon throne and asked the prince condescendingly: "What do you think of people like the national teacher and the goddess of the North Mountain?"
The prince shook his head and bowed, "It's all heard and dare not make arbitrary judgments."
Inside and beyond this, all of them revealed resistance and suspicion towards such miraculous people.
Emperor Jing Yuan asked in confusion: "Do you think so about the national teacher I personally conferred?"
After a brief silence, the prince said, "The national teacher is the national teacher, and I will give him the respect he deserves."
But the excess is gone.
Emperor Jing Yuan was not only not angry after hearing this, but instead laughed.
"Since that's the case, you send someone to Beishan and invite the goddess for me. I want to see her in person."
The prince wanted to speak but stopped.
"Say whatever you have!"
"Your Majesty, since ancient times, seeking immortals and asking for Taoism has been false. Please think twice."
Emperor Jingyuan smiled and found out that the prince was worried that he would indulge in these heretics.
He had a rare love affair with his father's heart. He walked down the golden stairs, came to the prince's side, and patted him on the shoulder with confidence.
He also said with confidence, "Does the prince have no such trust in your father?"
The prince looked into Emperor Jing Yuan's eyes and swept all the resentment and dissatisfaction into the corner, only showing his worries at the right time.
Finally, the father and son looked across the air for a while before the prince bowed to answer.
But they didn't expect that the prince's men did not invite anyone back as soon as they left.
In the Eastern Palace, the prince played with jade paperweights and listened calmly to his subordinates' reply.
"She really said that? A person outside the world is not stained with the world?"
"Actually... we didn't see the goddess herself, we just heard her servant retelling it."
The prince was not angry because of this negligence. People said that he was an out of the world. So what could the prince in white clothes be? He could never drag someone down from the northern mountain.
Besides, he deliberately mentioned the goddess of the North Mountain in front of Emperor Jing Yuan, but because the national teacher's hand was too long recently, he actually talked about political affairs with Emperor Jing Yuan.
Moreover, the prince was born disliked by the national master. He always felt that the person who seemed to be immortal was hiding behind him, so he wanted to use other people to knock on the national master.
Emperor Jing Yuan’s reaction after hearing his words was obviously similar to his thoughts. It is said that the emperor’s heart is as deep as the sea. Isn’t his father the same?
It was clearly that he personally gave the national teacher trust, and even listened to the other party’s advice on political affairs. But in the end, he was the one who did not believe in others, and he was the one who wanted to hit others.
This is his father, such a contradiction, and the so-called emperor's deep heart is nothing but his despicable but unwilling to admit it.
This is true for the mother and the national teacher.
However, the goddess of the Beishan Mountain obviously had the intention to promote the matter in Laoliu Village. Logically speaking, it should not be rejected from the summons from the palace. What is the purpose of this rejection?
"Your Highness?"
The prince was urged to come back to his senses by his subordinates.
He waved his hand and signaled that there was no need to follow up on this matter for the time being.
Turning his head, he reported this matter to Emperor Jingyuan truthfully.
Emperor Jing Yuan immediately lowered his face and sneered:
"Are the land of the world the king's land? The land of the land is the king's ministers? Is there any reason why the subjects do not see it?"
The prince quickly persuaded Emperor Jingyuan and said that this matter was a disadvantage of his own affairs.
Emperor Jing Yuan waved his hand: "How could this matter be related to my son? The woman is very esteemed and does not know whether the so-called name of the goddess is true or false."
The prince hesitated and said, "Why... I'll go to Beishan?"
Emperor Jing Yuan: "No, I'll go in person!"
After Emperor Jing Yuan said this, even the prince was surprised.
