Chapter 156: Looking for trouble
With the emperor's support, the princes became even more unscrupulous towards Beiliang Ye.
Usually, they dislike Bei Liangye in court, but now they can finally make trouble for him.
"Why are there so many memorials recently?" Bei Liangye looked at the two piles piled high on the table. He had never seen so many memorials before when the emperor went to court.
"Maybe it's because there have been a lot of things lately," the Eighth Prince stood up and said, "Prince, a group of bandits appeared in the southwest recently. Please tell me how to deal with it."
"Bandits?" Bei Liangye rubbed his forehead, picked up the book presented by the Eighth Prince, and took a general look at it. They were just a group of unworthy little bandits. Do they need to be specially reported?
"Let the local officials send troops to encircle and suppress this matter."
"Yes." The Eighth Prince nodded and stepped back.
Bei Liangye put down the memorial and picked up another one. It actually wrote about a fight in the capital last night and asked him to judge the punishment.
When did these trivial matters need to be discussed in court?
He later flipped through a few more books, most of which did not require him to handle them personally.
Bei Liangye already knew in his heart that someone might be here to cause trouble for him.
However, he is now supervising the country. If he says in front of all the officials that these matters should not be reported in the future, it will appear that he is not diligent in his duties, and his position as the prince will be even more shaky.
He collected the memorials and said, "I will go back and read these memorials slowly. If there is nothing else, let's leave today."
After saying that, he left the court without looking back.
Several princes looked at each other proudly. These memorials were enough for him to work for a day.
After the court, Bei Liangye went into his study and did not see him come out until lunch.
Ruan Wanwan couldn't help but worry that he was just supervising the country temporarily for the emperor. Even the emperor had never seen him so busy.
So she ordered someone to bring the rice to the study room, where she saw Bei Liangye looking at the book in his hand with a tired look on his face.
"How many things are going on in the court, and why are they so busy?" Ruan Wanwan asked in confusion.
Bei Liangye sighed heavily and said, "I'm really busy. You don't need to worry about me. Go have a meal first."
Ruan Wanwan snatched the memorial from his hand and ordered someone to bring the food.
"No matter how busy you are, you must pay attention to your health. My father's health is not good now. If you collapse from exhaustion, no one will really handle these matters."
"I'm really exhausted. There's nothing serious about these memorials." Bei Liangye shook his head helplessly, stuffed a mouthful of food into his mouth, and said: "It's just to make trouble for me. They are using
I have to do it."
Ruan Wanwan picked up the basic booklet on the table and frowned after reading it, "These matters should be handled by local officials or relevant departments. Why are they all handed over to you?"
"Having said that, it's not impossible for them to hand it over to me, so I naturally have no reason to refuse. If I really refuse, I'm afraid they will catch me."
Bei Liangye ate a few more mouthfuls of food in a hurry, then asked people to leave and continued to be busy.
Ruan Wanwan didn't want to disturb him and didn't stay long.
However, at this time, Ruan Wanwan began to worry faintly in her heart, whether the disaster she had calculated for Beiliang Ye before was coming.
The more she thought about it, the more anxious and uneasy she felt, so she found the secret guards around Bei Liangye and told them one by one, telling them to be very alert recently and to protect Bei Liangye.
These secret guards were so skilled that even if they faced the emperor's guards, they would not necessarily lose. With their protection, Ruan Wanwan felt a little more at ease.
After she arranged everything here, the fourth prince hurried over and rushed straight to Beiliangye's study.
Seeing him immersed in processing the memorial, the fourth prince said bitterly: "These people are really too much!"
Only then did Bei Liangye notice him coming, and asked with a smile: "What is the fourth prince angry about?"
"Why else? I'm angry for you, Prince!" The Fourth Prince said, "I received news today that several people have joined forces to deliberately cause trouble for you!"
"I've already guessed it." Bei Liangye thought it was something big.
Seeing his calm look, the fourth prince said angrily: "Now that you know it, how can you still endure it?"
"So what if I can't bear it anymore? They didn't do anything wrong. If I couldn't bear it anymore, I would have fallen into their trap. Right now, I can only do these things well and hope that my father will recover soon."
Bei Liangye knew that without the emperor's secret promise, these people would not dare to take such extravagant measures.
The emperor never wanted him to stand out too much, lest he expand his power.
Beiliangye knew the emperor's plan very well. He had always wanted to establish the eleventh prince as the heir to the throne. If he gained reputation, he would definitely pose a threat to the eleventh prince.
"Prince, in addition to our own people, I am afraid that people from other forces have colluded to point all their fingers at you. In the recent period, it is better for you to be more careful and keep a low profile if you can."
The fourth prince is really worried about the prince. Although there have been people targeting Bei Liangye in the past, he has never felt so dangerous. The matter of supervising the country has completely made them jealous.
Bei Liangye nodded and said: "Of course I know, but my father asked me to supervise the country. This is something that there is no way to keep a low profile. Now I have been caught in the middle by them, and there is no way to retreat.
."
"But what should we do? I don't know how long it will take for my father to go to court. We can't just let them bully us at will, right?" The fourth prince was anxious and wanted to share some of the burden for Beiliangye, but he was powerless.
Bei Liangye lowered his head and thought for a long time. The fourth prince was right. If he kept regressing like this and allowed them to do whatever they wanted, they would only get worse. He had to take the initiative and do something.
In the evening, Bei Liangye brought supplements and went to the emperor's palace.
The emperor is resting in bed.
"My son, please see your father." Beiliangye saluted respectfully.
The emperor glanced at him sideways, and then said with a smile: "Prince, please get back on your feet. The prince came to my palace so late, but what's the urgent matter?"
Bei Liangye replied: "My son finished processing the memorial today and was filled with emotion, so he wanted to come and see you, the emperor."
