Chapter 89: Invitation
Pang Huahao smiled bitterly, "Brother, I want someone to tell you in advance, but the Emperor's birthday is about to be on, and the martial law in Xijing is in place. Even if the flying pigeon passes a letter, it will be stopped halfway. At that time, we were on the water road and sent someone to spread the news to you, where can we go soon?
The governor of Lingnan and others were on warships, and the speed was not comparable to that of our merchant ships like us. We lost our shadows in just one day. If we hadn't chased us day and night after we got ashore, we wouldn't have come back so quickly. But now it seems that we are still much slower. What's the use of sending you messages in advance?"
Then Pang Huahao told Pang Huayuan about the mysterious eunuch with a serious expression, "Brother, it seems that someone is targeting the fifth prince now, but I just don't know who it is?"
Pang Huayuan slapped the table suddenly and gritted his teeth viciously, "No matter who it is, I, Pang Huayuan, will never give up if I dare to plot against my Pang family like this!"
After venting, Pang Huayuan looked at Pang Wei angrily and said angrily: "Get back and reflect, and then go to the palace to apologize to the emperor tomorrow!"
You Shi didn't dare to say anything since the beginning. Now she heard that Pang Hua was about to bring Pang Wei into the palace to apologize and immediately couldn't sit still. She begged with tears in her eyes: "Master, Wei'er already knows that he is wrong. He was plotted against him so that he thought about it for a moment. Fortunately, the fifth prince is fine and the pirate matter has been resolved. Although he is useless, he is not a big mistake. The emperor did not pursue it. Why do you still want to apologize?"
"Woman's opinion!" Pang Huayuan shouted You Shi angrily and said angrily: "If the emperor doesn't mention it now, it doesn't mean he has no idea. If your son takes the initiative to admit his mistake, maybe the emperor's impression of him will be improved, otherwise his life will be over!"
As soon as these words were spoken, both Youshi and Pang Wei turned their faces pale.
Pang Huahao echoed from the side: "Yes, sister-in-law, brother is right. If the emperor pursues the matter, it means that he still cares about our Pang family and Weier. It is better to have punishment than to ignore it quietly."
Only when you feel that a person has no value can you be treated so coldly.
When Youshi saw her children's joy, she instantly disappeared, and she lay on the table and cried.
Pang Wei bowed to Youshi and said, "Mom, I've worried you. This time my son is really too stupid. He learns from his mistakes and becomes wise. My son is willing to receive punishment. Don't worry."
Pang Wei felt even more uncomfortable when You Shi said this.
Pang Furong, who was beside her, was already scared. She rarely saw her father getting angry like this. When Pang Hua was angry, she was so scared that she didn't say a word. Now she heard Pang Wei going to the palace to apologize, and her face turned completely white and her body was trembling.
Pang Huayuan and Pang Huahao left before Pang Furong dared to cry.
Only then did Youshi notice her daughter who was scared to death. She hugged her in her arms with heartache and coaxed her repeatedly: "Don't cry or not, were you scared by your father just now? Don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with you, don't be afraid!"
Pang Furong looked at Pang Wei even more horrified, "Brother, you haven't told me these things along the way!"
Pang Wei looked up at her and said expressionlessly: "So what can I do when I tell you? The disaster has been ruined. Can you still save me?"
"I..." Pang Furong was so blocked that she couldn't speak.
You Shi felt very distressed and said to Xi Ni: "Okay, don't talk about it anymore. Furong, your brother's affairs have nothing to do with you, and it will be useless to tell you. It just affects your mood. Also, Weier, your sister also cares about you, don't speak so hard."
"I know I'm wrong, mom!" Pang Wei immediately admitted his mistake.
Pang Furong no longer spoke.
The next day, after morning, Pang Huayuan immediately took Pang Wei to the imperial study room to apologize.
The emperor was not surprised by their arrival at all, but he didn't expect King Cheng to come too. He looked at the people in front of him, a trace of interest flashed in his eyes, and slowly put down the red pen in his hand.
Pang Huayuan and Pang Wei knelt on the ground in fear.
"Emperor, I bring my unfilial son Pang Weit to apologize to you." Pang Huayuan's voice spread throughout the imperial study.
Pang Wei hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I failed to protect the fifth prince, and I almost rude the pirate's words. I deserve to die! Please punish me!"
The emperor did not respond to them, but looked at King Cheng, "What kind of wind will blow King Cheng into my imperial study today!"
King Cheng's face tightened and he hurriedly explained: "Brother, I just came out of my father's side and met Mr. Pang with his son to the imperial study room. I only heard a rough idea on the way. I knew that Pang Wei had caused trouble, but I didn't know what happened. So I followed me and listened to it. If my brother was not suitable for me, I would take my leave now."
The emperor glanced at King Cheng deeply and chuckled, "Since King Cheng wants to listen, let's listen together. I also want to know what the reason for your apology!"
Pang Huayuan was stunned and glanced at his son beside him.
Pang Wei understood it and said regretfully: "Your Majesty, my subordinates are not experienced enough. Originally, my plan with Lu Yang was to force the pirates to pirate ships, kill them on board and encircle them. Unexpectedly, the pirates were very fierce and cunning. Not only did we fail, but we almost died on the sea because the other party burned their boats. They were useless, and their subordinates deserved to die for ten thousand times!"
"You deserve to be damned." The emperor spoke coldly.
Pang Huayuan and King Cheng's faces suddenly changed, "Emperor..."
The emperor interrupted them and stared at Pang Wei. He stared at him so hard that his scalp was numb and he said in a deep voice: "Why didn't you say how you asked Pingnan Hou for help, and how he was domineering in terms of superiority and inferiority? I must be polite when speaking with Pingnan Hou. You Pang Wei has such a great face, and you can surpass me and order Pingnan Hou to send troops!"
Pang Huayuan was so scared that he was so angry that he shouted: "Your Majesty! Even if he borrowed Pang Wei's 1,000 courage, he would not dare to do such a traitor! Someone must have slandered and accused him!"
"Bang!" The emperor patted the book case heavily and shouted loudly: "Pang Huayuan! What he admitted himself is worth slandering and accusing others? Do you think who is full and is full to frame him! How big is his face!"
Pang Huayuan's cold sweat was rolling down, but he couldn't say a word of excuse.
Pang Wei also understood what the emperor knew now. The more quibbling, it would only make the emperor even more angry. So he kowtowed to the emperor three times and said calmly: "Emperor, everything is the fault of his subordinates. It is because his subordinates are arrogant and self-righteous, and he does not distinguish between high and low. He deserves to die for his crimes. Please punish him!"
King Cheng was so angry that he stepped forward and kicked Pang Wei down hard, cursing: "Bastard! You, you... you are lawless! Your father fought in battles across the country and the emperor and Daqi over the years. He didn't care about the family, and he felt even more guilty about you. He didn't expect to keep you in vain! He was so ignorant, I beat you to death!"
King Cheng was so angry that he looked around and prepared to find something to beat Pang Wei.
