Prince Regent's Concubine

Chapter 149 Improper Regent

It's just that before Xiao Jingheng's reward could be delivered to the Regent's Palace, Xiao Chuyi took the initiative to come to court.

This prince has not been to the court for more than a year. Many people are very happy when he comes, even Xiao Jingheng is also happy. Going to court, on the other hand, because of Xiao Chuyi's arrival, many things can be dealt with much faster, and he has to admit that his uncle is capable.

It's a pity that this happiness didn't last long. Xiao Chuyi did come to court, but he also came to resign from the post of regent at the same time.

When Xiao Jingheng heard Xiao Chuyi's words, his face darkened on the spot, "Uncle Huang, what do you mean?" Could it be that he was threatened because he was not rewarded?

The more Xiao Jingheng thought about it, the more gloomy his face became, almost dripping ink.

The courtiers were also obviously shocked by Xiao Chuyi's words, and they tried to persuade them one after another. Some people thought Xiao Chuyi was being angry, some thought Xiao Chuyi was trying to threaten the emperor with this matter, but no matter what, they didn't agree with Xiao Chuyi. It is very consistent that Yi resigned from the post of Prince Regent just like that.

In many people's minds, Xiao Chuyi, the regent, could be abolished by the emperor, or he could be abolished by their letter of decree, but Xiao Chuyi couldn't resign by himself. It's hard to say what the reason is, but if he can't, he won't.

The courtiers persuaded him lively, and all their attention was on Xiao Chuyi, so no one noticed the emperor Xiao Jingheng's face, which made him even more unhappy.

"That's enough! Is it the court hall or the vegetable market, what do they look like?"

Xiao Jingheng opened his mouth to scold, but the courtier silently closed his mouth, and then stood back to his original position.

As for Xiao Chuyi's resignation as Prince Regent, Xiao Jingheng didn't agree, and didn't ask too much. He just announced the dismissal of the court, and left with a cold face.

And Zhou Qi came over and called Xiao Chuyi to the study to talk to the emperor.

Xiao Chuyi actually didn't want to go, but Zhou Qi stopped him, "Don't be a slave, my lord, the emperor ordered you to go, and please spare my slave."

Xiao Chuyi glanced at Zhou Qi, there was no emotion in his eyes, but his feet moved in the direction of the study.

Zhou Qi didn't want this master to fall out with the emperor in his heart. He followed the emperor and could see everything clearly. Now the emperor has to rely on this master. I was offended severely.

But as a slave, he is not easy to persuade, and he is not qualified to persuade him, so he can only pray silently in his heart.

When they got to the study room, Zhou Qi didn't follow him in. After Xiao Chuyi entered, he closed the door behind him, and stood guard at the door to prevent anyone from approaching him.

Inside the room, Xiao Jingheng was sitting on a chair, his face was dark and unclear, but if you look carefully, you can see that he is suppressing the anger in his heart, Xiao Chuyi bowed his hands to him, "Your Majesty."

"Uncle Huang, sit down!" Xiao Jingheng pointed to the chair next to him.

Xiao Chuyi sat down as promised, and waited for Xiao Jingheng to speak.

"What is the meaning of what Uncle Huang said in the courtroom today? Is it because Uncle Huang was unhappy because I refused the reward?" Xiao Jingheng asked angrily.

"Your majesty is worried too much. I have already returned the power to the emperor. The post of regent should be withdrawn on the day of restitution. Thanks to the grace of the emperor, I have been the regent for so long. I feel really sorry. The quasi-minister asked."

Xiao Jingheng didn't believe this, "Is it really so? It's not because the emperor has a complaint against me and wants to negotiate terms with me?"

Xiao Chuyi stood up and cupped his hands, with an extremely respectful attitude, "I dare not, it was only because the emperor had just taken over the government and I was a little worried that I accepted the emperor's gift with the cheek, but this year I haven't been in court, the emperor will also The matter in the court was handled very properly, and the courtiers were convinced of you, which shows that the emperor has enough ability and is a qualified master of the world. In this way, it is unreasonable for me to be the regent again."

Xiao Jingheng noticed the key point in these words. Xiao Chuyi, the regent, has not been in court for a year. Although some things are relatively slow to deal with, it does not mean that the court cannot be transferred without him. This makes Xiao Jingheng happy .

He thought again, if Xiao Chuyi lost the title of Prince Regent, his status would be far worse than it is now. Not only would he not be able to influence the affairs of the court, but in the future, he would discuss anything with the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother would not be able to pull Xiao Chuyi out to speak up.

The most important thing is that the secret that has not been revealed may never be revealed again.

He regretted it after ordering Xiao Chuyi to come back to investigate the incident. Since Ling He is dead, only he and the queen mother know the so-called secret. Looking at the queen mother, she can tell that she dare not say it casually. , why did he bother to bring Xiao Chuyi back.

Now that there are too many people who know about it, it's hard to even silence it.

But when Xiao Chuyi is no longer the Prince Regent, and resumes his original title of Prince, he will be granted a random land so that he will never enter Beijing again in his life, and once he gets rid of the Queen Mother and that traitorous minister, there will be no one in the world. No one can threaten him again.

Xiao Jingheng had a plan in his mind, and when he looked at Xiao Chuyi again, he had a smile on his face, "Uncle Huang really thought it over, once I take back the title of Regent, many things will be different from before. .”

Xiao Chuyi: "The minister has made up his mind, please grant the emperor's permission."

Xiao Jingheng swallowed the words he wanted to promise, "Uncle Huang, this is a big matter, if you don't rush it, it's better for Uncle Huang to come to court from tomorrow. I will also ask the ministers for their opinions tomorrow. If people agree, I will grant it."

Xiao Jingheng wanted to express his reluctance, and wanted to let Xiao Chuyi know that most of the courtiers agreed to this matter, and it was not because he, the emperor, abolished his title because he was afraid of the regent.

There was nothing wrong with Xiao Chuyi, seeing that Xiao Jingheng had nothing else to say, he resigned and left.

After leaving the study room, Xiao Chuyi saw people from the Jianing Palace waiting for him outside, he was not surprised at all, without the eunuch saying anything, Xiao Chuyi walked towards the Jianing Palace by himself.

As soon as he entered the Jianing Palace, Xiao Chuyi saw the angry look of the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother pointed at Xiao Chuyi with a sullen face, "Xiao Chuyi, what exactly do you want to do? Why did you resign the title of Prince Regent? Do you know that without this title, you are nothing!"

"Is it because you have lost your mind outside for more than a year, Xiao Chuyi, when did you become so stupid, how stupid!"

"Aijia used to think that you were a character and the strongest opponent of Aijia. Aijia really looked up to you. You are an idiot who is so stupid that Aijia doesn't even want to scold you. You are so disappointing to Aijia. !"
