It’s a trivial matter
Guo Kang knelt down with a serious expression, and his attitude of admitting his mistake was also very sincere.
"Your Majesty, I have spilled His Highness's medicine. I know that I have made a mistake and deserve to be punished. I still ask the Emperor to punish me. I should have no complaints."
Seeing Guo Kang being so frank, the emperor felt even more that the second prince was so preoccupied, it was just a bowl of medicine, no big deal, just spill it.
But if one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, the emperor cannot say anything.
"Then how do you want to punish me?"
The second prince glanced at Guo Kang quickly and felt proud, you can't escape now!
"Father, my son and I are not unreasonable people. Since the commander-in-chief has made a mistake, then we should follow the rules of the Forbidden Army. Why don't we reward the commander-in-chief eighty times!"
As he said that, the second prince's face couldn't help but light up. The imperial army had great power, and the punishment methods when they made mistakes were heavier than ordinary methods.
This 80-year-old board is not the kind of board used by yamen to interrogate prisoners. There are special boards in the prison torture chambers. Those boards have sharp iron spikes. You can imagine the damage they will cause if they hit people.
I have to say that the second prince is very cruel and he has the nerve to say that he is not an unforgiving person.
The second prince was obviously so angry that he actually forgot to maintain the illusion of being kind to others in front of the emperor.
However, the emperor did not notice anything unusual about him today, but thought he was being unreasonable.
"Why should you be so harsh? Commander Guo did it unintentionally. What's more, Commander Guo also knows his fault. I think it's better to just hit the twenty-big board and think of it as a lesson to Commander Guo. The punishment given to me by the second brother is terrible.
Still satisfied?"
The emperor was looking through the papers boredly. The matter of the sudden death of the palace maid yesterday had not been settled yet. He always felt that the palace was unclean, so he had no intention of dealing with the government affairs.
"That's it, Li Fuquan, I order you to personally give Commander Guo a beating. Take the board used to punish the guards. Twenty big boards, one no more and no less. Okay, Commander Guo, go down and receive the punishment, the second one.
, you personally supervise Li Fuquan’s execution.”
"Second brother, after supervising Commander Guo's punishment, you should go back to the house first. I still have something to explain to Commander Guo. You can come see me again later."
The emperor waved his hand casually, without even raising his head, and the big matter was reduced to a trivial matter.
Guo Kang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was really lucky this time, but at the same time he couldn't help but worry. If he was not so lucky next time, how would he deal with such a vengeful second prince?
The second prince still doesn't know that he has left a vengeful impression in the heart of the commander of the imperial army, but even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care at all!
After hearing the emperor's 'punishment' method, the second prince couldn't help but feel embarrassed. What kind of punishment is this? Is it so easy to handle?
"Father, this is what my son and I have endured through so much hard work..."
"Okay!" The emperor interrupted him impatiently, "Second brother, if you have nothing to do, why not go read the military books? Look at you, it's been a long time since you read a book properly!"
After experiencing this coughing up blood, the emperor also knew that he was getting old, and he couldn't help but think about what happened after his death. What he was most worried about was this country, and he didn't know whether he would be able to see Dashun become more and more powerful in a hundred years.
But the second prince under him is just a small person and has never been on the battlefield. So when he needs to go to the battlefield in person to boost morale, won't he have to talk on paper?
The more the emperor thought about it, the more he felt that the second prince was unable to do anything.
When the second prince heard this, he felt as if someone had poured cold water on him. What he couldn't accept the most was that the person who poured cold water on him turned out to be his own father.
His heart twitched fiercely. If you could see the darkness in him, you could guarantee that there was no color in the second prince's body.
"My son, I will obey my father's teachings."
At this moment, the second prince came to his senses and realized that he had been tricked by Guo Kang. Guo Kang probably knew that as long as he met the emperor, everything would be safe, so he had to pretend to be so sincere.
It's really cheap and yet still behaves well!
Just like that, Guo Kang and the second prince came out of the royal study. The eunuch took the beating board. Guo Kang took off his shirt and lay on the bench. Li Fuquan took the board and waved it like a tiger.
But in the end, it’s about lifting it high and putting it down gently.
The second prince sneered in his heart. He didn't even have the mood to watch anymore. He turned around and left. His heart was as cold as ice. Sure enough, no one in the world was on his side!
He walked out of the palace gate full of resentment, and the blazing afternoon sun poured down on his back. Before getting on the carriage, the second prince looked back for some reason and glanced at the imperial city surrounded by high vermilion walls.
It's so magnificent, he couldn't help but think, the pavilions and pavilions shining under the sun, this is the place he dreams of. The second prince took a deep breath, this is the smell of power, which makes him dream.
smell.
One day, he will take possession of the entire imperial city!
The sound of horse hooves gradually faded away, and the second prince's brief appearance was like a stone thrown into the lake, causing waves in circles. However, the waves quickly disappeared and the lake became calm again, as if the second prince had never been there.
In other words, as long as the emperor is alive, the second prince will be like a dispensable decoration.
But the second prince never realized the truth. He had no real materials and blamed bad luck, so he was always in pain and always greedily wanted more.
After he left, Guo Kang finally let down his guard. He ordered his servants to clean up the medicinal residues scattered at the palace gate and put them away. Then he divided them into two parts. One part was examined by an acquaintance of the imperial physician, and the other part was given to Pei Mo.
Guo Kang swore that he would be able to find something this time, but the reality still disappointed him.
Without exception, there was nothing harmful to the emperor in the bowl of tonics sent by the second prince. Guo Kang asked Pei Mo several times without giving up, and Pei Mo repeated the same answer several times.
Non-toxic, still non-toxic.
Guo Kang suddenly fell into a clueless state. It shouldn't be. The second prince's appearance of wanting to tear himself apart after his good deeds were ruined was clearly a sign of guilty conscience. So how could this tonic be non-toxic?
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. He couldn't think of a reason even after racking his brains. Pei Mo was also at a loss.
Time ruthlessly gave them no chance to find out the truth, and the day when Fang Anren and Yan Ru got married was coming.
Murong Qing and the people from Prince Yi's Mansion were all on standby, but the Emperor still attended Fang Anren's wedding as agreed before.
"You said this wedding won't be postponed any longer."
"How could it be possible? General Fang and the Wang family's daughter are a match made in heaven. It will only be a matter of time before they get married..."
Because of the postponement of the marriage last time, people are paying more attention to and looking forward to this marriage this time.
Although it has nothing to do with them as ordinary people, who doesn't like to join in the fun?
