Chapter 706 The Emperor Gets Angry
Shang Zhanbai put his ear against the door, listening to the noise inside, and his big white teeth were exposed.
"..."
Serves you right! Father has to punish my third brother. He has no respect for anyone since he became the emperor.
After chasing for several rounds without hitting him, the emperor's face became even gloomier with anger.
"Stand right there!"
"Father, please calm down. You have to make your point clear!" Shang Zhanchen grinned.
"How dare you ask! You've just become the emperor for one day and you don't manage the government properly, letting your six-year-old son run the government for you.
You asked my brother to help you review the memorials. How could you be so lazy? If I am gone someday, will you not even attend the court?"
The emperor swung his stick at him, but Shang Zhanchen dodged it by leaping forward.
"How could I? Father, am I not doing this to train Jiao'er?"
"Jiao'er is only six years old. How can you give him such a heavy burden at such a young age? Besides, he is so outstanding, does he still need your training?"
He, the emperor emeritus, was not dead, and he, the emperor, was not deposed, but he actually let a six-year-old child preside over the government. If this got out, people would laugh their heads off.
"Father, I have my own considerations. You also know that Jiao'er is smart and has already memorized everything he should learn.
Learning these things over and over again every day is a waste of time. It would be better to follow my son to court.
It would be beneficial for him to get in touch with some practical things and combine them with what he usually learns.
As for what you said about tiring him out, that is even more impossible. Jiao'er is also my biological son.
How could I not feel sorry for him? How could I possibly let him get so tired! "
"That sounds nice, but wouldn't it be tiring to follow you to court every day?"
"Otherwise, wouldn't Jiao'er go to study early every day?"
"How can that be the same? You can take a break when you are tired of studying, and you can have a snack when you are hungry."
The emperor had a gloomy face. Normally, Jiao'er would take a break from time to time when studying, and he could also eat some snacks or something.
But it was different during the court session. He had to sit there motionless for most of the morning. His small body couldn't bear it.
“I have also given him some time to relax, just like usual. If he is tired, he can go to the back and rest.
Snacks and pastries are always available, so you can eat whenever you want.”
"Well, that won't work either. In any case, he can't go to court." The emperor stiffened his neck.
Don't think he will agree just by saying this.
"Father, I am the emperor now. The imperial decree has been issued. If you disagree, won't I be laughed at by those ministers?"
"It's just a joke, but Jiao'er can't go to court anyway, right?"
"Since even talking doesn't work, I don't want to be the emperor anymore!"
"You bastard! I think you really deserve a beating!" The emperor rushed over again with a stick in his hand.
He even said something like this, and I'll just keep it if I don't beat him up.
"Father, please calm down!" Shang Zhanchen rushed away again.
He opened the door and rushed out, almost bumping into the Queen Mother.
"Mother."
"What's going on?" The Queen Mother looked at her son and then at the stick in the Emperor's hand.
When Eunuch An came to tell her that the Emperor had fought with Chen'er, she still didn't believe it, after all, the Emperor had never beaten Chen'er in all these years.
Seeing him holding such a long stick in his hand, she was really surprised.
"What's wrong? Ask your good son!" The emperor sat down on the dragon throne in anger.
It's been a while since I sweated so much, but I have to admit that I feel quite relaxed all over at the moment.
"Mother, this is what happened..." Shang Zhanchen told the Queen Mother what had happened before.
Afraid that her mother would be as angry as her father, she gave a brief explanation. After listening, the empress dowager looked at the emperor.
"Your Majesty, what Chen Er said makes sense, how about you just let him try it for a while?
If it is not appropriate, then Jiao Er will not be allowed to go. Otherwise, where is his dignity as the emperor?"
Now that Chen'er has just ascended the throne, the first imperial edict he issued was rejected by His Majesty. How will the court officials view him?
It will not be good for his future in power. Even if he waits for a while, it can save some face for Chen Er.
“……”The emperor said nothing.
He glared at Shang Zhanchen fiercely again and said, "For your mother's sake, I'll let you go this time."
Seeing that His Majesty had tacitly agreed, the Queen Mother was delighted.
"Since there is nothing else to do, Your Majesty, please follow me to the East Palace to see Yu'er and the others!"
Shang Zhanchen was delighted to see that his father was taken away by his mother, but then he looked at the big stick and his face darkened again.
"Shang Zhanbai! Get in here!"
From childhood to adulthood, his father had never hit him, but now he was chasing him with such a big stick.
If it weren't for that guy's instigation, he wouldn't believe it even if you beat him to death.
As soon as Shang Zhanbai entered the imperial study, his face became very long.
"What?"
"What are you doing? Is this something you did?" Shang Zhanchen pointed at the big stick next to him.
"You made the emperor angry. What does it have to do with me?"
"It has nothing to do with you, right? Okay, come and get to work!"
Seeing the pile of memorials that the Third Emperor was pointing at, which was like a mountain, he also got angry.
"You are the emperor, why should I help you review memorials?"
They are so lazy. Every emperor reviews memorials himself, so why would he use others' help?
"We are both descendants of the royal family. Why are you so leisurely while I am so busy all day long?"
Shang Zhanchen's face also darkened. As a descendant of the royal family, he was busy every day and had to take care of everything.
But this guy is just different. He either walks his birds and drinks tea, or plays with his antique jades. It's so unfair.
"How dare you say that? I've only had some time to study in the past two years. When you were poisoned, you kept me busy.
While taking care of my father and mother, I also have to manage so many things in the palace. When I have time, I have to visit you to see if you are dead or not.
Don’t you know how exhausted I was during those years?..."
Shang Zhanbai complained of his grievances. When his third brother was poisoned, he not only ran back and forth in and out of the palace.
He was also under tremendous psychological pressure, fearing that something might happen to him, and now that he was the emperor, he was being used as a target.
What an ungrateful guy! I have never seen anyone so cruel.
Listening to this guy's mumbling, Shang Zhanchen glared at him speechlessly.
"You talk as if you are the one who holds the Shang Dynasty together. Stop talking nonsense and get to work, or you will lose your salary."
To be fair, he did have some serious stuff to do back then, but it wasn't as outrageous as he said.
It's as if my father is a waste.
Realizing that all he had said for so long was in vain, Shang Zhanbai was furious.
"I've never seen you so cold-blooded!"
"Stop talking nonsense, or I'll deduct your salary!"
We are both princes, so why can he be so idle?
"..." Shang Zhan gritted his teeth in anger.
I really want to throw this memorial on my third brother's head, but I also know that he is a heartless person.
No matter how much I say, his cold-blooded heart won't warm up.
He took the memorial in his hand angrily and read it with gritted teeth.
"There was a drought in Tongzhou last year, and the crops were 20% less. I want you to give me some money..."
