Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

#12 - Chapter 12 The Prince is a Filial Son

“So, this rebellious son just spends his days in leisure, without attending to any proper business!?”

Emperor Jing's temples throbbed as he listened, wishing he could grab a golden melon hammer and smash it directly onto his son's head.

Li Yansong said, "That's not entirely true. He did visit the military camp these past two days, saying he was inspecting military discipline and drilling soldiers."

"Besides that... nothing else..."

"Good! Good! Where is that rebellious son now!" Emperor Jing was now beyond furious!

Originally, upon returning to the palace, his first priority was to check on the Crown Prince's activities.

As a result, the accumulated memorials of the past few days were sent untouched to the Imperial Study!

Emperor Jing's gloomy mood was somewhat dispersed by anger, but he could still suppress his rage.

However, hearing the complaints of the three Grand Secretaries, he could no longer contain his fire.

"He should be in the newly built Tiger and Leopard Garden in the Eastern Palace!" Zhang Dongxiang had long been unable to bear it.

He wished Emperor Jing would quickly discipline the Crown Prince.

To be so immersed in pleasure, he doesn't seem like the ruler of men at all....

"Alright, esteemed ministers, you have worked hard. You may return for now."

"We'll discuss other matters tomorrow. Guo Banban, prepare the carriage for the Eastern Palace!"

......

Eastern Palace, Tiger and Leopard Garden.

In the Tiger and Leopard Garden, a fierce tiger was chasing two old horses.

The Crown Prince was sitting on a chair, watching with great interest.

Liu Jin stood behind the Crown Prince Li Yuanzhao with a worried expression.

Originally, the Crown Prince overseeing the country was a great opportunity, a chance for His Highness to show his capabilities.

Unexpectedly, the first thing the Crown Prince did was build himself a Tiger and Leopard Garden, and then skip court for several days.

As his personal eunuch, he was duty-bound!

But this master in front of him had always been headstrong! He had no interest in court affairs, but was extremely interested in messy things like fighting and beast-battling.

He shouldn't have been so talkative! Telling the Crown Prince about tigers and leopards and such nonsense!

If His Majesty finds out, the first thing he might do is peel off his skin!

The more Liu Jin thought about it, the more flustered he became, and his face gradually turned pale.

The spectacle of the tiger chasing the horses was nearing its end, one horse was bitten to death, and the other was ripped open by sharp teeth.

The tiger was relishing tearing at the horse's internal organs.

Li Yuanzhao was somewhat uninterested: "Liu Banban, this prince finds watching these weak horses really boring!"

"Why not find another tiger, two tigers fighting each other should be more interesting."

Liu Jin wiped away a cold sweat: "Your Highness, you haven't attended court for several days. The officials have opinions about you being in the Tiger and Leopard Garden every day. It won't be easy to explain to His Majesty when he returns."

Li Yuanzhao didn't care: "So what if they have opinions!"

"The world is at peace, what else is there for this prince to do! It's enough to have those few masters in the Grand Secretariat!"

"It's a pity, this prince was born a few years too late!"

"Otherwise, now would be a good time to gallop on the battlefield! Alas ~"

After speaking, Li Yuanzhao sighed, appearing somewhat melancholy.

Liu Jin was about to speak when he suddenly saw Emperor Jing walking towards them and began to tremble!

Then he quietly retreated to the wall.

Li Yuanzhao continued melancholically: "Is wielding a pen and playing with ink what a man should do!? A real man like this prince should be fighting on the battlefield!"

"If this prince wasn't the Crown Prince, he would definitely be a top-notch great general!"

"It's just a pity that Father Emperor actually stole the credit that this prince should have taken in advance! It's really hateful!"

"Why did Father Emperor give birth to this prince ~"

After speaking, a tear slid down the corner of Li Yuanzhao's eye, filled with a sense of unappreciated talent.

Liu Jin looked at Emperor Jing standing behind the Crown Prince and felt his scalp explode.

These filial words shocked him pale.

It's over, his short life is about to end like Jinjin below......

Emperor Jing narrowed his eyes as if savoring what Li Yuanzhao had just said.

He knew that the Crown Prince was immature, after all, he had watched him grow up.

He didn't expect him to be so wild now! To actually say words like 'Why did Father Emperor give birth to this son!'

If this were to spread, the majesty of the imperial family would be completely lost.

Is he going to hand over the empire that he worked so hard to build to such a beast in the future?

Emperor Jing felt very sad.

However, Emperor Jing still smiled slightly and gently placed his hand on Li Yuanzhao's shoulder.

"You like fighting so much, why don't you jump down and do it? I think that tiger below is pretty good."

Someone dares to pat him?

Hearing the familiar voice, Li Yuanzhao widened his eyes.

Then he stiffly and slowly turned around, forcing a smile.

"Father... Father Emperor? You're finally back, your son has been looking forward to it for a long time...."

Emperor Jing sneered: "Heh, I heard that my son has been unwell for many days, I care about you, so I came to see you quietly. It seems that my son is very energetic!"

"Your son... your son..." Li Yuanzhao stammered, beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolled down his forehead.

Emperor Jing smiled again: "Come, my son, come with me, it's not very convenient here, I can't stretch out, come with me to the Imperial Garden, and... that little eunuch beside you, come along too."

After speaking, Emperor Jing slowly walked out of the Tiger and Leopard Garden.

Looking at Emperor Jing's receding figure, Liu Jin trembled and leaned over, swallowing hard, and said in a mournful voice: "Your Highness, this servant is finished... this servant only has one wish now, I hope Your Highness can help me get a complete corpse....."

Li Yuanzhao was furious: "Blind thing! Why didn't you inform me when Father Emperor came!"

Liu Jin was still shaking non-stop: "There's... there's no time, His Majesty came too quickly, this servant was frightened, ah... I can't do it anymore, Your Highness, I can't stand anymore."

Li Yuanzhao's face was pale.

It's over! His short fifteen-year life has come to an end.

As short as Liu Jin's Jinjin.

Thinking of the coming storm, Li Yuanzhao shivered and kicked Liu Jin, who was paralyzed on the ground.

"Get up!!! Quickly! Quickly prepare a few padded jackets for this prince, and take out my equipment!!!"

............................

Imperial Garden.

Emperor Jing sat expressionlessly in the pavilion, his left hand resting on a thick long staff, and his right hand holding a long whip.

The long staff and long whip were specially selected from the armory, the most powerful size.

Emperor Jing wielded them a few times, smashing a stone railing and breaking a tree branch, feeling that the power was good, and his strength was not reduced back then!

Filial sons come from under the stick! Now there is no other way!

He had equipped the Crown Prince with the best teachers in the world, the best environment, but he didn't expect to grow a crooked melon after all!

Originally, Emperor Jing had already noticed something, although the Crown Prince sometimes behaved inappropriately, but he was lively by nature, and he believed that the Zhan Shifu and several old ministers of the cabinet should have grown up under the tempering, but he did not expect that the Crown Prince had become so bad!

He is fifteen years old! He was already involved in battles at the age of fifteen, killing enemies and seizing military merits.

The son he gave birth to only knows how to play with cats and tease dogs, he is simply a bug!

He can't even compare to the toes of the magistrate of Taoyuan County!

If the tiger doesn't show its power! Do you think I am a sick cat!?

In an instant, a thick fierce aura flashed in Emperor Jing's eyes!
