Chapter 705: Adding fuel to the fire
This time there was no need to attend morning exercises on time. The next morning, the emperor went to the side hall early to wait for Shang Jiao.
As a result, I waited and waited but no one showed up. I remembered what happened last time and immediately became nervous.
He quickly sent someone to the East Palace to inquire, and the news soon came back.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince was taken to court by the Emperor early in the morning."
"Jiao'er also went to court?" The emperor looked confused.
Why did Jiao'er also go to court? Could something have happened?
"Replying to the Emperor, the Emperor issued two imperial decrees this morning, one of which required the Crown Prince to attend the morning court with the Emperor in the future.
Another imperial decree is..."
"Nonsense!" The emperor interrupted Eunuch An.
"Jiao'er is only six years old. How can we let him manage the government affairs at such a young age?" The emperor had a gloomy face.
My dear grandson is only six years old. It is the time when he should study hard. How can we let him attend the morning court?
Not to mention that it will affect my studies, it's also too tiring. What if I end up hurting myself?
Just as he was thinking about it, Shang Zhanbai walked in angrily.
"Father, please take care of your good son!" He directly handed over the imperial edict in his hand.
I heard about the imperial edict early in the morning when I was still asleep. I thought that my third brother had a change of heart and came to give him a reward.
The result was that he was made to be a mere assistant, without any official position, and not even much salary.
The most infuriating thing is that he has to come on time every day. It seems like he really thinks he is the emperor and starts to bully him to death.
"What is this?" The emperor took the imperial edict and unfolded it.
After seeing the contents inside, his brows furrowed.
Even though I feel unhappy, I still have to protect him.
"Why would you feel wronged to ask me to do some work? Shouldn't you contribute your share?"
Although he was angry with Shengchen'er, this bastard was also a worry for him. He just fiddled with his useless jade all day long. It was time to find him something to do.
"Father, you can't be so biased..." Shang Zhanbai said halfway and swallowed it back.
Thinking of what he heard when he entered the palace this morning, his eyes rolled again.
"Father, I heard that the Third Brother also asked Jiao'er to attend the morning court?"
"Hmm." The emperor snorted in dissatisfaction. He became angry when this matter was mentioned.
"Father, how can this be possible? Jiao'er is only six years old. Not to mention that attending the morning court every day will affect his studies.
The key is that his body can't bear it! He is so young and has such a heavy burden. What if he gets tired and injured?
Jiao'er is the most outstanding child in the history of our Great Shang Kingdom. You can't let my third brother act recklessly.
I think that my third brother has lost interest in others since he became the emperor. He didn't even bother to discuss such a big matter with you."
Jiao'er is the lifeblood of my father. If he doesn't feel sorry for him, he will definitely feel sorry for his eldest grandson.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the emperor's face darkened.
"What a bastard! Just wait till I see him!" The emperor was really angry.
When I think about giving my darling grandson such a heavy burden at such a young age, I feel angry and distressed.
If my dear grandson gets too tired, it will affect the future of Da Shang.
"That's right, Father, you have to teach Third Brother a lesson while you are still strong.
Otherwise, when he grows up, he won’t care about you anymore.”
Shang Zhanbai kept adding fuel to the fire, causing Eunuch An beside him to twitch his lips.
"..."
The Fourth Prince is upset because the house is in chaos. Fortunately, the Emperor has only one son like him, otherwise it would be a mess.
The emperor was feeling righteous at the moment, but when he heard what Shang Zhanbai said, he immediately fell into the trap.
"You wait for him to come back!" He went to the imperial study angrily.
"Your Majesty is wise." Shang Zhanbai was delighted.
He followed him out immediately, and when he arrived at the imperial study, he found a thick stick nearly one meter long from somewhere.
"Father, I am afraid that you will get tired, so I found a handy guy for you.
You can educate people, but don’t get yourself hurt by getting angry.”
Looking at the stick handed to him, the emperor glared at him unhappily.
"I will beat him to death, and then let you be the emperor."
None of them are worry-free, as if I can't see what he is thinking.
"Don't worry! Father, you just need to educate him a little, don't beat him to death." Shang Zhanbai grinned.
He didn't want to be the emperor, and he knew that his father was just speaking in anger. How could he bear to beat his son to death?
Afraid that his father would be soft-hearted, he added fuel to the fire.
"Father, my third brother has become a cunning man. You must not be fooled by him later..."
Listening to the Fourth Prince's words, Eunuch An's mouth twitched again and again.
"..."
As expected of a good brother, he is really trying to beat him to death. If the emperor knew what he said, who knows how he would deal with him.
When Shang Zhanchen and Shang Jiao came to the imperial study after court, they saw that their father's face was very long.
"Father, why are you here?"
"What? Now that you're the emperor, I can't come here?" The emperor glared at him.
He looked at his beloved grandson again.
"How is it? Are you tired?" He pulled his beloved grandson into his arms with concern.
"Grandfather, I'm not tired." Shang Jiao leaned his little head in the arms of the retired emperor.
Seeing that his good grandson stopped talking, the emperor's face became even gloomier, thinking that he must be tired.
"Have you discussed with me about letting Jiao'er go to the morning court?"
“…”Shang Zhanchen.
I found out why my father was angry and came up to him with a smile.
"Father, I am the emperor now. I don't need to ask you for approval for this little thing, right?"
I glanced at Shang Zhanbai and saw that he looked like he was asking for a beating. I felt like he was adding fuel to the fire.
The emperor was already angry, and after hearing what Shang Zhanchen said, he could no longer suppress his anger.
"You guys leave first." He glanced at everyone in the room, then looked at his beloved grandson in his arms.
"You go study first, the Royal Grandfather will be there soon."
"Yeah." Shang Jiao and everyone else left the house.
The emperor stood up, walked to the door, and closed it, which surprised Shang Zhanchen.
"Father, what are you doing?"
Everyone was cleared out and the door was closed. My father must have something very important to tell me.
“…” The emperor glared at Shang Zhanchen.
He reached back and picked up the long stick that Shang Zhanbai had placed at the door, and ran towards Shang Zhanchen.
"What a bastard!
"Father, what are you doing?" Shang Zhanchen jumped to the other side of the dragon throne.
I have never seen my father so angry that he even resorted to violence.
"You have been weak and sickly since childhood, and I couldn't bear to say anything harsh to you, but I ended up raising a lazy person like you.
Now that you are well, I will teach you a lesson!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he ran over with a stick in his hand, and scared Shang Zhanchen so much that he ran in another direction.
"Father, please calm down. I have done nothing wrong. What are you doing?" Shang Zhanchen couldn't help but smile.
The emperor emeritus would chase the emperor with a stick and beat him. I guess from ancient times to the present, only my father has done this.
