Chapter 244 Royal Family Law (1)
When Shao She heard this, he was shocked, "The East Palace? Is there something wrong with the prince?" But when he thought about it carefully, since Qingyao's other courtyard had a trouble with the assassin, he had been to the East Palace in private and specifically instructed the prince to be patient in the past period of time and not to cause trouble."
Besides, the prince has never been a frivolous and impetuous person, so how could he cause trouble?
"Even if the prince has something to do, what should I do when summoning him to the palace?" Shao She asked, and said, pointing to the Luanyu in front of him.
Zhang Derong shook his head. Today's trip was a foolish job, and he really couldn't figure out what his Majesty was selling.
"Your Majesty is annoyed, but..." Zhang Derong said this, paused and whispered, "I can't understand whether Your Majesty's anger is directed at the person from the East Palace or this person." As he said that, he also pointed to the Luanyu in front of him.
"What did Shuhuan do?" Shao She was a little curious. Emperor Zhou was willing to annoy him? How could it be?
"I don't know either!" Zhang Derong shook his head and sighed, "Mr. Shao, stop asking. When he comes to the palace and sees His Majesty, he will naturally know."
Shao She was helpless, but he was puzzled. Zhang Derong had already quickly caught up with Shao Shuhuan's carriage in front, and followed his carriage without any haste.
However, after two incense sticks, we had already arrived at the palace. The eunuch carried the carriage and entered the palace gate directly. However, Shao She got off the carriage and followed him.
It was not until in front of Jingyang Palace that the eunuch put down the carriage. Someone had already rushed in to report to Emperor Zhou. Here, Zhang Derong personally helped Shao Shuhuan get off the sedan chair and walked inside.
"Huan'er!" In the main hall, Emperor Zhou leaned on the soft couch and saw Shao Shuhuan, and was extremely happy. He hurriedly said with a smile, "Come here to sit next to me.
Shao She smiled bitterly. Emperor Zhou looked like this. Xiang was so angry with Shao Shuhuan?
"My name Shao She has seen Your Majesty!" Shao She knelt down and bowed. Emperor Zhou ignored him and directly called Shao Shuhuan. Shao Shuhuan also wanted to perform the rituals of the monarch and ministers. He had long been dragged by Emperor Zhou.
"Your Majesty is summoned at this time. I wonder what orders are there?" Shao Shuhuan said, looking at Shao She, kneeling on the ground.
Emperor Zhou gave a wink at him and smiled softly, "I am just thinking about Shuhuan. I'm summoning you to the palace to talk about gossip. It's nothing. Shao Aiqing, you don't have any rituals. I know I don't like these common rituals. There are no outsiders in Jingyang Palace. Just be more casual."
"I thank Your Majesty!" Shao She stood up and saw Shao Shuhuan sitting beside Emperor Zhou. He sighed softly in his heart.
"Shuhuan. How are your injuries better?" Emperor Zhou asked earnestly.
"Report to Your Majesty, it's no problem." Shao Shuhuan saw Shao She wink at him, and he stood up and said, "Thank you for your concern."
"Why is Shuhuan so fond of me today?" Emperor Zhou said, looking at Shao She, and pulled him down and said, "When I see me, I don't even scream at my father?"
"Yes, Father!" Shao Shuhuan said with a hurry and said, but couldn't help looking at Shao She. He used to please Emperor Zhou. Of course, he also called him "Father Emperor", but this was the first time in front of others.
A bitter smile appeared on Shao She's face, Father...Ho...Father...
"Since I'm calling my father, I'm still so close to me?" Emperor Zhou smiled and said, "If I don't call you into the palace these two days, you won't hide from me?"
"Where is it?" Shao Shuhuan said hurriedly, "In the past two days, Mr. Shao... Master Shao married his daughter. Shao's house was very lively, and Shuhuan couldn't go over and have fun."
Emperor Zhou looked at Shao She and married his daughter? Why is it difficult for him to marry a daughter? He married his daughter to the Nanxia Kingdom, or the son of the prime minister of the Nanxia Kingdom?
Shao She was a little embarrassed. At this time, Emperor Zhou refused to let him leave, and did not ask him what he asked him to stand like this. It was really embarrassing.
"Your Majesty, the things are taken!" The two of them were talking, and outside, Liu Wei bowed carefully and reported.
"Take it!" Emperor Zhou ordered.
Shao Shuhuan was very curious. Emperor Zhou summoned him into the palace at this time and asked Shao She to accompany him. Of course, he would not be as simple as just talking to him.
After a while, a small eunuch outside came in with a two-foot square wooden board. Shao She was stunned when he saw the wooden board, and Shao Shuhuan was also stunned.
The little eunuch put the wooden board on the ground and bowed and retreated. Emperor Zhou smiled and said, "Do you know what this thing is called?"
Shao She smiled bitterly. One side of the wooden board was smooth, but the other side was like a washing board, all of which were protruding spikes, which was the Shao family's kneeling board.
"Shao Aiqing, what is this thing in your family?" Emperor Zhou asked deliberately again when he saw that Shao She did not speak.
Shao She smiled bitterly and said, "Report to Your Majesty, this is the family law in my family!"
"Kneeling on the throne?" Emperor Zhou smiled, "You can think of it? Have you ever kneeled?"
Shao She could only smile bitterly. When did Emperor Zhou become interested in the Shao family's family law?
"Where is Shuhuan?" Emperor Zhou turned around and looked at Shao Shuhuan and asked with a smile.
"Since it is family law, it is naturally inescapable!" Shao Shuhuan smiled and said, unable to help but look at Shao She. He didn't know whether Shao Shuhuan had ever kneeled on this kneeling slap in the past, but he seemed to have been punished in the room of the old lady of the Shao family.
"Where are you exempted?" Emperor Zhou asked again.
Shao She smiled bitterly and said, "His Highness Shuhuan has said just now, it is impossible to avoid it." It is indeed impossible to avoid it. Shao Shuhuan was obviously a pun.
Emperor Zhou nodded and sighed: "It seems that Shao Aiqing's family is also very strict and has good teaching skills. I will learn a little."
Shao She's heart trembled, looked up in surprise, looked at Emperor Zhou, and understood in vaguely what he was going to do.
However, Shao Shuhuan had already fully understood that since it was family law, others naturally could not say anything. Thinking of what Shao Ting said to him a few days ago, he couldn't help but smile gently, but he deliberately asked: "Father, what did Shuhuan do wrong, which made you always want to do family law?"
Emperor Zhou smiled but said nothing, but the cold sweat on Shao She's head began to flow.
Outside, a little eunuch dragged his sharp voice and shouted loudly: "Your Highness the Prince!" Then he heard the sound of boots. The two little eunuchs raised the curtains. The prince walked in quickly in a yellow robe with rolling dragon apricot robe.
"My son has seen my father!" His Highness the Crown Prince was busy saluting when he saw Emperor Zhou.
"Wei'er, I'm so late to announce you here, but there's something unknown, so I want to ask you." Emperor Zhou was still sitting next to Shao Shuhuan's place, waved to Zhang Derong next to him.
Zhang Derong understood. He was busy picking up a tray with a token on it.
Emperor Zhou took the token from the pallet, looked at it briefly, threw it on the ground, immediately restrained his smile, lowered his face and asked, "Is this yours?"
The prince was puzzled and was busy picking up the token from the ground. After looking carefully, it was indeed the token worn by the East Palace's personal soldiers and guards. He nodded and said, "Report to my father, that's right!"
"That's good!" Emperor Zhou nodded, "Don't you ask me why this token is in my hands?"
"My son, don't dare, I think it was the personal guard who lost it?" The prince vaguely knew something was wrong and said hurriedly.
"If I throw it in the palace, it's fine. I don't have to ask you for questioning at this time----The assassin in Qingyao's villa a few days ago, Shu Huan almost lost his life. Of course, you know, right?" Emperor Zhou continued to ask.
"Yes!" the prince bowed and replied.
"I am very angry. Someone in my prince dares to be brave and assassinate openly. Therefore, I specially ordered Prime Minister Shao Aiqing to join the Ministry of Justice to investigate the matter. It is extremely important to find out the real murderer." Emperor Zhou said, "The result is that Shao Aiqing found this at the scene of the crime, and I specially sent it to me today..."
When Shao She's face changed drastically when he heard this, he had given this token to Emperor Zhou?
"Your Majesty!" Shao She hurriedly knelt down on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I..."
"Shao Aiqing, don't say much!" Emperor Zhou waved his hand, "I know you are in a difficult situation. They are all my princes, so I am in a difficult situation."
"Your Majesty, please report back..." The cold sweat broke out on Shao She's head again. He finally understood what Shao Ting and Shao Shuhuan wanted to do.
"Shao Aiqing doesn't need to say anything!" Emperor Zhou said with a calm face, "Wei'er, tell me, what's going on?"
"Father, my son really doesn't know." The prince is not stupid. Now he fully understands that this token belongs to the imperial guards in his palace, but now he appears at the murder scene in Qingyao's other courtyard. As long as he is not a fool, everyone knows what this means.
"This case was originally under the head of the Ministry of Justice, but now this case involves you, how should I deal with it? Wei'er, are you jealous of Shuhuan, so you ordered someone to assassinate?" Emperor Zhou snorted and asked. "No, no, no..." The prince shook his head repeatedly and said, "Report to Your Majesty, I will never do such a traitor."
"Then explain to me why this token appears in Qingyao Villa?" Emperor Zhou said coldly, "If you can't give a reasonable explanation, you can't say that I can learn from Shao Aiqing and have to move the family method in this Jingyang Palace."
"Your Majesty, I..." Shao She opened his mouth and wanted to speak.
"Shut up!" Emperor Zhou shouted angrily, "This is my family matter, Shao Aiqing, don't talk too much."
Family affairs? Shao She was anxious. He really shouldn't care about the royal family affairs, but... is this family affairs?
"What do you say about Wei'er?" Emperor Zhou asked again.
"Son minister... I really don't know." The prince understood in his heart that this was just a very ordinary method of frame-up, but the question was, since Shao She discovered this token, why didn't he send it to the East Palace and notify him, but sent it directly to Emperor Zhou? Could it be that he also wanted to hold Shao Shuhuan in his heart...
"I don't know?" Emperor Zhou sneered, "You don't know, but who knows? It seems that I have spoiled you too much over the years, so you can be bold and lawless."
Shao Shuhuan angrily, leaned against the soft couch, and looked at Shao She and the prince with a lot of fun. The more he thought about it, the more he felt funny.
