Houfu Key Class

Mr. Qin looked through the list and found that the Zong family had closer ties with his family. But how could the Zong family cause trouble in the Ministry of Rites because of Qin Ye's achievements?

This... this shouldn't be the case.

The emperor asked word for word: "Have you found it?"

Qin Yian did not dare to tell the Zong family, for fear of causing trouble to other families: "Your Majesty...there are a few friends of the child here, but they will never go to the Ministry of Etiquette because of the child. Our family doesn't know about it at all. Please be aware that someone must have framed us..."

"Zong Jincheng, it's him, right?" The emperor interrupted him and revealed the name.

Zong Zhao's eldest son and Luo Jingfeng's adopted son.

Except for the children of the Luo family in the entire capital, this child is the only one who has something to do with Luo Jingfeng.

It just so happened that he was on this list, just below Qin Ye.

Mr. Qin still wanted to speak, but he saw the emperor closing his eyes and waving his hand outward to signal him to retreat.

Qin Yian knew that this was none of his business, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly left and retreated, planning to ask Qin Ye when he got home if the child knew anything...

The door to the imperial study room is closed.

The emperor closed his eyes and fell asleep on the dragon chair, and the air pressure around him became heavier and heavier.

Eunuch Huang took the examination roster and carefully comforted him: "Your Majesty, the young master Xu Shizong is a good friend of the Qin family's children, so he went to the Ministry of Etiquette to stand up for Qin Ye. The children also had good intentions and wanted to be fair. You don’t need to be too angry, since Zong Jincheng is the son of General Zong, he must be with you..."

The emperor interrupted him: "No, he and I are not of the same mind."

Eunuch Huang thought he was talking about Zong Jincheng, and quickly advised him: "How could it be possible? A child who can write good strategies and essays will be of the same mind as the imperial court. What's more, the child is still young. If he is properly corrected, he will be loyal to the emperor."

The emperor opened his eyes, which were bloodshot.

He said harshly: "I'm talking about Zong Zhao."

Eunuch Huang: "!!"

Eunuch Huang was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and advised: "Your Majesty, please calm down. The only one we rely on now is General Zong. We must not doubt him because of this."

The emperor's suspicion was not groundless.

But I finally figured out the key.

"At the beginning, Luo Jingfeng recognized Zong Jincheng as his adopted son. I thought this was just a way for him to win over Zong Zhao, but his performance was too obvious." The emperor clenched his fingers and said harshly, "Luo Jingfeng Feng is so cold-hearted that he doesn't even take care of his own son. Why would he care about other people's children? "

Unless this child was born to someone he cared about very much.

Who is the person Luo Jingfeng cares about very much?

Who gave birth to this child eleven years ago?

Eunuch Huang already had a name in mind, but he didn't dare to think about it further. He was so scared that he was shaking all over.

The emperor's gloomy voice sounded: "During the dance case case earlier, the whole capital suspected that Zong Jincheng was the prince's illegitimate son. I also asked you to borrow a Zihao pen to see the child. You said he didn't look like the prince. , but it looks familiar.”

"Is this familiarity because this child looks like Concubine Shu?"

The long-lost name came from above his head, and Eunuch Huang fell to his knees with a plop: "Your Majesty... slave, I can't remember clearly... What's more, Concubine Shu's child died long ago. He died on the night Concubine Shu gave birth. It was handled by His Royal Highness himself!"

Eleven years ago, Concubine Shu pretended to be ill and secretly got pregnant, hiding it from the entire palace for more than half a year.

But the emperor was too suspicious.

He secretly investigated and discovered that this beautiful woman was secretly pregnant with a dragon.

The Luo family was powerful, and Luo Shu wanted to have a child secretly. The emperor knew very well what their siblings were planning, so when Concubine Shu was about to give birth, he revealed the news to Huai Shui and asked the prince to handle the matter personally.

Fifteen-year-old Chu Heng, a man of both civil and military skills, had great prestige both in the court and among the people. Everyone felt that the future prince would be the eldest prince.

But the emperor was only in his thirties at that time, in his prime.

While he was proud of having such an outstanding child, he was also worried that Chu Heng would push him down from the throne. He was unsure and hesitant, so he decided to use Concubine Shu's secret pregnancy to test Chu Heng.

Let's see if his eldest son is ruthless enough.

The results came out quickly. Chu Heng was ruthless enough. Not only did he deal with the evil bastard, he also killed Concubine Shu.

Remove the mother and the son, cut off the grass and roots.

At the age of fifteen, he could be so ruthless...

It was at that time that the emperor made up his mind.

He couldn't let Chu Heng grow up like this, otherwise such a ruthless son would kill his king and his father sooner or later!

So while he let Huaishui secretly poison Chu Heng, he concealed it and made Chu Heng the prince.

Both fear him and need him.

The emperor had been doing this for nearly ten years, until the Wufang case broke out, and he discovered that the prince had not declined because of his frailty, and that the prince was even more popular among the people - he would be overthrown by this ruthless and strong son at any time.

So he took action.

He asked Huai Shui to increase the dose of poison, and he wanted the prince to sleep forever in that spring.

But--

Now he found out: it was wrong, everything was wrong.

It turned out to be all wrong.

The only one who died was the useless concubine Shu. The real evil one was still alive and well, being raised by the prince and Zong Zhao right under his nose.

Because of the prince's "cruelty", he made a move on the most outstanding prince, but in the end he found out that the prince was not cruel, he was stupid!

And he who made the wrong move was even more stupid.

Not only did he lose the prince as a helper, he also lost Zong Zhao's support. He lost all the power to compete with the Luo family!

The emperor laughed crazily, cursing as he laughed: "Good, good, good, my good son, my good prince, kill the mother and keep the son, kill the mother and keep the son! You did the stupidest thing in the world!"

He overturned all the memorials on the desk, kicked down the entire desk, and finally picked up the dragon chair and smashed it to the ground, and the whole person fell into a state of madness.

Eunuch Huang knew about this, but it was because he knew it that he understood how broken the emperor was now.

The death of Shu Fei that year made the emperor start to take action against the prince, but the child who would really stir up the situation was alive and mixed with Luo Jingfeng.

After Luo Shu died that year, Luo Jingfeng's murderous eyes, Eunuch Huang still has lingering fears when he thinks of it.

The emperor smashed it with bloodshot eyes, and finally sat on the steps, holding his head with both hands, shaking uncontrollably.

It was anger and fear.

He had to stay calm and prepare for the worst.

If Zong Zhao and Luo Jingfeng joined forces, what chances would he have of winning?

After calculating, he found that he had no chance of winning!

And the key to this all lies in that evil creature.

The emperor raised his head, revealing a scarlet look, and he ordered in a cold voice: "Send the commander of the secret guards here."
