To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 462 Punishment

  The different solemnity in the Hall of Mental Cultivation did not affect Wei Han. When he saw Emperor Yong'an, whose face was sinking like water, he calmly saluted: "I have seen the emperor."

  Emperor Yong'an looked at the handsome young man with dim eyes, and said slowly, "The king of Dingdong is rebellious."

   Wei Han maintained a posture of saluting, without saying a word.

   "Eleventh brother, you are the person I trust the most. I want to send you to the east to quell the rebellion."

  Wei Han was silent for a moment, then calmly said: "My brother accepts the order."

  Ding Dongwang rebelled, and the east was in chaos. It was inevitable for the imperial court to send troops to fight. He was prepared for the purpose of being called into the palace.

  Emperor Yong'an's face softened, and just when Wei Han thought he could step back, he suddenly said, "Eleventh brother, twenty-one this year, right?"

   Wei Han lowered his eyes and replied, "After this year, he will be twenty-two."

  Emperor Yong'an nodded, his tone could not hear the joy or anger: "The male college should get married, the female college should get married, and it's time for the eleventh brother to marry a wife."

   Wei Han couldn't help raising his eyes, looking at the majestic emperor sitting on the dragon chair.

  Emperor Yong'an showed a smile: "Does the eleventh brother have a favorite woman?"

  The moment Wei Han heard these words, the image of Luo Sheng flashed in Wei Han's mind.

  Favorite women...of course there are.

  Seeing Wei Han's silence, Emperor Yong'an smiled and said, "Don't be shy, Eleventh Brother, if you are interested, you can tell me to settle the marriage before you go out."

   Speaking of this, Emperor Yong'an's eyes became more and more serious: "If there is no one, I will choose a suitable one for the eleventh brother."

   Wei Han suppressed the ups and downs in his heart, and calmly refused: "As the old saying goes, you don't get married in the first month, and the twelfth lunar month is uncertain. Besides, my younger brother is about to go to war, life and death are unpredictable, so don't delay others."

  He likes Miss Luo, but he doesn't want Miss Luo to be with him because of a marriage gift.

  Emperor Yong'an stared at Wei Han for a while, then smiled: "Since the eleventh brother thinks so, let's wait until you come back triumphantly."

   "Thank you, brother, for your concern."

   "Brother Eleven, let's go back and get ready."

   "The younger brother will retire."

  Watching the crimson figure leave, Emperor Yong'an raised his eyelids and asked Zhou Shan: "Does King Kaiyang often go to that... wine shop recently?"

  Zhou Shan hurriedly reminded: "There is a wine shop."

   "Yes." Emperor Yong'an nodded.

   "Reporting to the emperor, King Kaiyang goes there almost every day."

  Emperor Yong'an's eyes flickered: "I remember that it was opened by Luo Chi's daughter?"

"yes."

  Emperor Yong'an thought for a while and said, "It is said that Luo Chi has come into the palace."

  The Chief Superintendent Luo is in charge of interrogating Baixi entertainers these days. Although there is no progress, he is not worried.

  As the commander of the Jinlin Guard, he naturally knew that the assassination that shocked the government and the public was planned by the emperor, and it would be in the emperor's wish to delay it indefinitely.

  When he was called into the palace, Governor Luo was still a little puzzled.

   "My minister has seen the emperor."

  Emperor Yong'an stared at Governor Luo for a moment, then picked up the brush washer on the table and threw it at it.

  Washing brushes flew head-on, Governor Luo didn't hide, and took it with his shoulders.

   Chief Governor Luo, who was just bowing to each other, plopped down on his knees, and an angry voice came from above.

   "Luo Chi, are those Jinlin Guards of yours dead? Didn't they find Li Daitao in the Dingdong Palace?"

   Jinlin Guards spread all over the vital areas of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the city where the Dingdong Palace is located is naturally indispensable.

   Governor Luo raised his head in surprise: "Li Daitao is stiff?"

  Emperor Yong'an had a tense face and ignored him.

  Zhou Shan understood what Emperor Yong'an was thinking, and explained with a light cough: "The son of Prince Dingdong just admitted that he is actually the second son of Prince Dingdong, not the real son."

   "Is there such a thing?" Dudu Luo changed his face, and pleaded guilty with his forehead on the ground, "I have neglected my duty, please punish me."

  The coldness of the gold bricks spread from the forehead to the heart.

   "Where are the other princes? Is there any problem?" Emperor Yong'an condescendingly looked down at Governor Luo, who was kneeling and pleading guilty, and asked in a deep voice.

  Luo Dadu hurriedly said: "The other sons are absolutely fine."

   "Can you guarantee it?"

   "The minister pledges his life."

  The palaces of all the princes are the targets that Jin Linwei focuses on. When the princes and sons set off, Jin Linwei has checked them quietly. Of course, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so it's not surprising that Li Daitao became stiff when he left the Dingdong Palace.

  The heirs of other palaces don't have such similar brothers to pretend to be.

   "Luo Chi, the subordinate who is not easy to use should be replaced."

  This meaningful reminder made Governor Luo's eyes shrink, and he should have bowed his head.

  Emperor Yong'an eased his tone, and said lightly: "Get up."

  Luo Dadu respectfully stood up.

   "Luo Chi, isn't your daughter young?"

   Governor Luo was taken aback for a moment, then looked up blankly.

  Looking at Emperor Yong'an's calm face, the reprimand just now seemed to have never happened if there hadn't been the reminder of the brush washing falling at his feet.

  The heart of the emperor is unpredictable, the longer you follow the emperor, the more deeply you will feel it.

   Seeing the silence of Governor Luo, Emperor Yong'an frowned: "Huh?"

   Governor Luo nodded in a daze.

   "Have you not discussed marriage yet?"

  Luo Dadu only felt a pain in his heart, worse than his shoulder being hit by a brush, and said with a complicated expression: "I have four daughters, and none of them have discussed marriage yet."

  The emperor is dissatisfied with Jin Linwei's dereliction of duty, so let's punish him. Why do you ask such a heartbreaking thing?

   "Didn't even talk about marriage?" Emperor Yong'an was surprised now.

  Although he is used to controlling his courtiers, he doesn't even care about the marriage of his courtiers' children.

   Governor Luo was silent.

  He saw it, this is the punishment of the emperor, punishing people and punishing people!

  However, the emperor cannot avoid asking questions.

  Luo Dadu held back his shame and anger and said: "The four daughters of the minister are all staying in the boudoir."

   "Oh." Emperor Yong'an nodded, and suddenly asked, "What do you think of King Kaiyang? I heard that your third daughter is quite close to King Kaiyang."

   Governor Luo was stunned.

  The emperor called him into the palace to scold him, and then pulled the red line?

   This change was a bit big, and he couldn't recover for a while.

  Emperor Yong'an became a little impatient when he saw that Governor Luo was in a daze again.

  Why is it that when your daughter Luo Chi is mentioned, you become unresponsive, as if a muscle is missing?

"how?"

  Luo Dadu came back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "I have never asked about it, I only know that King Kaiyang often goes to a wine shop, it is normal to say that my daughter is familiar with him."

   "Aiqing, would you like to choose my younger brother as your son-in-law?"

   Governor Luo's eyes widened suddenly: "Your Majesty—"

  He hasn't enjoyed the kid's marriage proposal yet, so is he going to give him a marriage?

  Giving a marriage is actually okay, but it can be considered that a daughter can be married, but I don’t know if Sheng’er is happy?

   Governor Luo was struggling, and heard Emperor Yong'an say: "King Kaiyang has no intention of getting married yet, but I can't bear to see him still alone at this age. I'm afraid Luo Aiqing will take the initiative in this matter..."

  Governor Luo could no longer listen to the following words.

What? King Kaiyang has no plans to marry a wife yet?

   Still have to let him take the initiative?

  Emperor Yong'an couldn't wait for the answer, so he looked serious: "Luo Chi, do you understand what I mean?"

   If this continues, he will consider changing to an easy-to-handle Jin Linwei commander.
