Chapter 264: Days, not paying attention

The delivery of grains became a big event. Especially now that the success or failure in the battle will be decided by this. So, they couldn’t afford to get careless.

The Civil and Military Officers had long been arguing inside the imperial hall, but they still haven’t chosen a suitable candidate. Seeing this, the Emperor couldn’t help but get angry, he waved his sleeve and left the imperial hall.

“Prime Minister Lin, what should we do?”

“Prime Minister You, what should we do?”

Whether it was the civil or military officers, they surrounded the two prime ministers, hoping they could come up with a good plan.

Prime Minister Lin and Prime Minister You stayed emotionless. They both had a tacit understanding to stay silent.

What kind of good plan can they come up with?

This war was of great importance, but Xiao Wangye was watching on the sidelines. Who knows if the grains that they will try to send, will be robbed by him again, right?

If that happens, not only they will lose a food supply, but also lose from the Northern Army. The Emperor will surely not let go of the person who comes up with the plan. That person was doomed to be unlucky.

At this kind of event, only the Emperor could come up with a plan himself.

*

The Emperor knew what his palace ministers were thinking about. He understood their thoughts very well that’s why he was angry.

Those palace ministers only have small brains in their head, so once they encountered a major event, he couldn’t rest assured.

“What a bunch of waste! What is the use of keeping a group of waste?” Now that he was in trouble, what did those group of people do? They only hide behind his back.

However, he couldn’t kill all those useless palace ministers.

“Bastards.” In anger, the Emperor slammed the table and sat in the dragon chair for a long time.

At this time, no one dared to disturb the emperor. The eunuch and the palace maids stayed away from the palace hall, in fear of irritating the emperor.

“I want to see imperial father.” However, at this time, the Seventh Prince came and sought an audience.

“Your royal highness, Huangshang is very angry at this moment. Do you want to visit again later?” The eunuch knew that the Seventh Prince was a spoiled child, but he really doesn’t dare to enter the palace hall this time.

The Seventh Prince shook his small head and said: “I know imperial father was angry. That’s why I want to go in. Go and announce that I want to see Imperial father. If Imperial father refuses, I will leave.”

“Your royal highness… …” The eunuch was in a dilemma.

At this time, the Emperor’s anger dissipated by half, so when he heard a voice outside, he asked: “Who is outside?”

The eunuch’s scalp went numb in fear. He knelt on the ground and said: “Huangshang, the Seventh Prince is seeking an audience.”

“Little Seven? Let him in.” Although the Emperor was anxious about the issue in the front line, he has no intention to think about it this time.

As soon as the Seventh Prince came inside, he respectfully paid his ceremony. But, he only said his intention, when the Emperor let him rise: “Imperial father, I heard that you are angry. This incompetent son cannot shoulder Imperial father’s worries, this son can only accompany you.”

The Seventh Prince looked at the Emperor with a face full of worries.

When the emperor heard his son’s words, his heart soften a bit: “Little Seven is kind. Come, come and sit to imperial father’s side.”

The Seventh Prince was too small, the Emperor could hardly see him to the other side of the desk.

The Seventh Prince went close and looked at the Emperor’s face. Then, he asked with full of concern: “Imperial father, are you not angry?”

“Imperial father is not angry, anger will not solve the problem.” The Emperor touched the Seventh Prince’s head and said: “Little Seven, you don’t have to worry. There is nothing Imperial father couldn’t solve.”

“Mmm, Imperial father is the most powerful person in the world. No one is more powerful than Imperial father.” The Seventh Prince heavily nodded his head and worshiped the emperor.

The emperor’s mood inexplicably became good. When lunch time came, he left with the Seventh Prince to eat together. At the dining table, the Seventh Prince didn’t follow the table etiquette. He said one or two sentences from time to time to the emperor: “Imperial father, this is delicious.”

“Imperial father, try tasting this…”

After the meal, the Emperor was very happy: “In the future, Little Seven should come and accompany imperial father to eat.”

“Mmm, as long as Imperial father will not find Little Seven noisy.” The Seventh Prince embarrassingly said, while scratching his head.

“Imperial father never find Little Seven noisy.” The Emperor said with so much love.

“Then, Little Seven will come to accompany Imperial father to eat.” The Seventh Prince were also sharp minded. He knew that the emperor was still busy in his official duties. So after taking a break, he bid farewell. But before leaving, he said: “Imperial father, imperial mother said you are busy, Little Seven will no longer disturb imperial father. But, Imperial father shouldn’t tire himself much, Third brother and Eldest brother are now adults, you can ask them to help. Aunt Fushou Zhang and Aunt Fu An are also adults. They can help imperial father.”

If the Seventh Prince only mentions the Crown Prince and Xiao Zian, the Emperor will be suspicious of him. So, he deliberately added a few more sentences.

When the emperor heard the Seventh Prince’s childish words, he didn’t put it in his heart. He only patted the Seventh Prince’s head and reminded him to study hard. He also said to grow up quickly, so he could share his worries.

The Seventh Prince happily left the hall. When he left, the eunuch replaced the emperor’s tea on the table and praised the Seventh Prince. Seeing the emperor was in a good mood, the eunuch jokingly said: “His royal highness Seventh Prince is indeed still young. He said to let the princesses help in politics. How can the princesses help in this big matter?”

“The Princesses?” The Emperor’s eyes lit up, he suddenly thought of a right candidate.

“Little Seven is zhen’s lucky star.” The Emperor was in a good mood. The eunuch was still very puzzled, but the next moment, he heard the emperor shouted: “Someone, come.”

The Emperor decided to let Princess Fu An’s husband, Cui Sanye to send the grains in the border. And on the same day, he sent out an imperial edict.

*

When Cui Sanye received the imperial edict, he directly smashed it. In the East, even if a person marries an imperial princess, the emperor’s brother-in-law has no official power. And due to the rebellion of the Southern Emperor’s brother-in-law, every country now was being careful. So, Cui Sanye couldn’t accept this matter. The Emperor ordered him to send the grains in the border, this is simply… …

“It can’t be. How can the emperor suddenly let me send the grains?” Cui Sanye, who was holding the imperial edict can’t seem to recover his mind.

Princess Fu An was well-informed, so she said with a happy face: “It’s Little Seven, Little Seven mention you, so the Emperor suddenly think of you. Little Seven is truly kind, he didn’t forget this aunt.”

Princess Fu An was really happy. What’s only important to her was the benefit that she could get in this matter. If her husband succeeds in this matter, her position in the Emperor’s mind will rise.

The imperial decree has been made, so no matter what Cui Sanye thinks. All he could do now is succeed.

Although the Cui Family was not a member of palace officials, they were aware of every event in the court. They knew that this errand was a big problem, so they were very worried. They only calmed down when the Cui Family Headmaster said a word.

“Xiao Wangye was giving a warning to the emperor, so the last batch of grains was robbed. Although Xiao Wangye hated the emperor, he was a man with principle. He knew very well the importance of this batch of grains. I’m sure he will also give our Cui Family a face.”

With this in mind, Cui Sanye relaxed his heart and unscrupulous accept the task that the emperor gave to him.

But at this time, the Ci Entang, who was ignored by the emperor and other palace ministers, blew up another scandal… …
