002: disgrace
King Dingbei was full of enthusiasm and entered the palace to see him with his armor and swords. He removed his weapons before entering the palace and handed them over to the palace servants.
The civil and military ministers in the hall were divided into two trains. A little prince was sitting upright on the imperial throne. A man stood beside him, with his dark clothes and wide sleeves and court uniforms. The hall was deep and wide, and he couldn't see the appearance of the man from afar, but the momentum radiated from the whole body made He Runsheng know that he was the emperor's uncle.
"I, He Runsheng pays homage to Your Majesty. In this battle, he will live up to the order of the former emperor and expel the Jing Yuwen team for more than 200 miles, behead more than 5,000 people, capture nearly 10,000 people, protect the dynasty and promote the prestige of our great Jin."
As soon as these words came out, the civil servants and military generals in the court looked different in their expressions, and their eyes were all looking at the person beside the little prince.
However, the emperor's uncle turned his back to everyone and faced the emperor, and remained motionless.
Before the emperor could only say a few words, he listened to the little prince saying, "Thank you for your hard work, I will be rewarded."
He Runsheng's eyes swept over the back of the emperor's uncle and took a deep breath. The letter sent to the emperor's uncle's mansion was not rebuked by the emperor's uncle, but it seemed that he had acquiesced.
Thinking of this, he felt relieved and immediately said, "I am willing to use this military merit to repay you. Please allow me to terminate the engagement with the Gu girl. I have been kind to the late emperor and I have been engaged to the Gu girl for three years. It's a pity that I and Gu girl are really unfaithful and have different temperaments. Although Gu girl is so beautiful, she is willful and has no poetry and books. Such a fool cannot get along with her. I would like to ask Your Majesty to be kind to you."
The court was in an uproar. Who would have thought that King Dingbei would use this military merit to terminate the engagement?
Besides, although the Gu girl has no talent, it is the first time I heard of it. In order to break the engagement, the King of Northern did not hesitate to ruin the reputation of the Gu girl. This... this is a bit of a gentlemanly demeanor.
Fortunately, Gu Sikong was sick today and did not attend court. If he heard this with his own ears, he would not be so angry that he would die of anger.
The little emperor looked at the man beside him in panic. He had never encountered such a thing before. Can the late emperor regret his marriage?
A pair of panicked eyes met the emperor's dark eyes. He swallowed suddenly, his whole body trembled slightly, trying to squeeze out a smile, but found that it was even more ugly than crying.
Everyone saw the little emperor's eyes looking at the emperor's uncle, but the emperor's uncle turned his back to everyone, and could not see the emperor's expression at this moment. For a while, he heard the little emperor tremblingly speaking, "Accurate!"
The emperor's uncle's figure, with a cold and resentful aura, was like a towering mountain. Everyone in the court did not dare to be arrogant. The little emperor lowered his head and said nothing. Everyone looked at each other and dared not argue. Only He Runsheng was overjoyed and thanked him.
After the dynasty was dispersed, the ministers retreated. The little prince looked at the emperor's uncle and then plucked up the courage to speak tremblingly, "Uncle Emperor, although King Dingbei defeated his military merits, he still offended the order of the late emperor. How could you... be sure?"
The emperor's long and narrow eyes slightly raised up and he glanced at the little emperor, "The princes are in power, and the Husbands are surrounded by him. He Runsheng is useful and cannot be killed."
The little emperor pursed his lips tightly, stared at the emperor's uncle stubbornly, and said for a while: "Isn't there any emperor's uncle?"
According to his intention, He Runsheng offended the late emperor and deserved to be imprisoned.
"The way to imperial power lies in checks and balances, and indulgence. Besides, there are other ways to ruin his face."
The little emperor watched the emperor's tall body slowly disappear into the hall, but his words kept flowing in his ears.
A few days later, the little emperor finally knew why the emperor's uncle had ruined He Runsheng's face!
