Chapter 60: Private Meeting (2)
Emperor Yong’an sneered and said, "That’s right. It’s my second imperial uncle, Xun Qinwang."
As soon as Emperor Yong’an said these words, Ceng Baocheng frowned. Seeing the old imperial censor’s frowning face, Emperor Yong’an chuckled and said, "Don’t frown too much, Ceng Yu Shi Dafu. Your wrinkles have already turned your face into wrinkled persimmon."
After hearing his joking words, Ceng Baocheng could only sigh and say, "Lao Chen is worried that Xun Qinwang has a big plan."
Emperor Yong’an smiled and said, "It’s nothing new for Zhen’s second imperial uncle to have great ambitions. When Zhen sat on this dragon throne seven years ago, everyone knew about his dissatisfaction. With his character, it would be strange if he didn’t do some shady things in these years."
After saying that, before Ceng Baocheng could speak, Emperor Yong’an raised his hand to interrupt him, "You don’t have to worry about this matter. Zhen will handle it. Yu Shi Dafu, you have to take care of yourself. Zhen still hopes you can attend the summer banquet this year."
Ceng Baocheng knew that Emperor Yong’an was worried about his health. He served three generations of emperors and was known for his loyalty to the emperor and impartiality in enforcing the law. Now that Emperor Yong’an has made a decision, Ceng Baocheng can only obey his order.
He clasped his hands together, bowed deeply to Emperor Yong’an, and said, "Lao Chen understands."
Emperor Yong’an smiled at him and said, "You can retreat now."
He then turned to look at Qiu Yuanbo and said, "Yuanbo, send Yu Shi Dafu out."
