The emperor always wants to give me marriage

Prime Minister Lin came out of Gongfang, and wanted to go back to Yongqing Palace to ask the little emperor to resign as chief examiner again, but just now, looking at Xia Zhi's words and deeds, he clearly would not agree to his request, and it would be useless to resign again, so he simply gave up.Standing outside Gong's room and meditating for a moment, he raised his foot and walked towards Lama Temple.

Lin Qingmei had nothing to do recently, so she took Xia Zhao out of the Empress Dowager's Palace.After all, this child has been adopted under her knees and is also the emperor's only son. She should take care of it properly. Even if the Queen Mother is unwilling, she is powerless to stop it.

When Prime Minister Lin stepped into Lama Temple, he saw that his daughter was teasing the prince, but she put her own flesh and blood aside and ignored her, and her face sank.

Prime Minister Lin coughed lightly: "The old minister pays his respects to the empress."

Usually, Lin Qingmei would have already gone up to greet her, and would never accept her father's great gift, but today she only raised her eyes to look at him, continued to tease the child in her arms, and said casually: "Prime Minister, please."

Prime Minister Lin was very dissatisfied, but it was inconvenient to explode. He just sat on a chair beside him and said nothing.

The prince sat on Lin Qingmei's lap, grasping the latter's fingers with two chubby hands, and mumbled something, making her smile all over her face.Looking at Xia Cong who was being held in the arms of the nanny, he was depressed, and his bones didn't look strong.

Whether it was his grandson or not, Prime Minister Lin stared blankly at him for a while.Lin Qingmei noticed it, and said with a light smile, "Father wants to hug this child?"

As soon as Lin Qingmei raised her hand, the nanny immediately carried the young prince and walked towards Prime Minister Lin. The prime minister stared at the child's face for a moment, but didn't take it over, with a slightly worried expression on his face.

Lin Qingmei waved her hand, and the palace servant immediately retreated with the child in her arms, leaving only the two of them in the inner hall.Lin Qing raised her eyebrows and said, "Why did father come here today?"

Prime Minister Lin said: "The old minister is in charge of the Qiu Wei this autumn. Unexpectedly, something happened. I don't know if the empress has heard of it?"

Lin Qingmei lightly touched the lid of the cup that was burning with intricate patterns, but did not answer.

Prime Minister Lin said: "Your Majesty's wings are getting richer, this is dissatisfaction with being a father."

Lin Qingmei smiled and said: "The emperor is the king of a country. As a subject, my father is loyal to the king. Is there any reason for the emperor to be dissatisfied? If this is the case, the father only needs to avoid his edge. Why do you say this to your daughter? I have been waiting for a long time. Being in a deep palace, the matters of the previous dynasty are never entered into the harem, if father wants to discuss with others, he should talk to the counselors in the mansion."

"Although Your Majesty has been in the deep palace for a long time, she is the daughter of my Lin family. How can she stay out of the matter? If the Emperor disregards the old feelings and takes down the Lin family in one fell swoop, how can your Majesty sit securely in the back seat?"

"Father's words are very true." Lin Qingmei said lightly, "There must be an emperor first, and then there will be a successor. If a daughter wants to secure the succession, she must assist the emperor wholeheartedly."

"Meier," Prime Minister Lin stroked his beard and said meaningfully, "The empress is the empress, and the empress dowager is also the empress. You have dared to think and do things since you were young, don't you want to go further?"

Lin Qingmei couldn't help laughing, her father spared no effort in persuading her to become an enemy with Xia Zhi.

"Father, I am the queen, and my aunt is also the queen. Who do you think can stand firm in this harem?"

Once the late emperor left, what's the use of having the title of empress dowager?The Yong Dynasty believed in the strong being respected. After the first prince passed away, the queen mother lived in the harem. When the emperor remembered it, he went to ask for peace. When he couldn't remember it, he worshiped her as a bodhisattva. What's the use?

Lin Qing's brows were unrepentant, Prime Minister Lin said: "Do you really think that the little emperor will allow you to open a women's school? If my Lin family falls, you will be the first to be implicated. You have always been smart, but you trust others. It really hurts my father's heart."

"The person I trust the most is you, my lord father." Lin Qingmei said coldly, "Isn't it the result of father and Xia Qi's joint efforts for my daughter to ascend to the lower position?"

Prime Minister Lin was speechless, not knowing how to refute.

Lin Qing looked at him expressionlessly: "My daughter retreats every step of the way because she is thinking of her father's many years of upbringing. If my father is stubborn, don't blame my daughter for being unfilial."

Not long after Prime Minister Lin left the Lama Temple, Xia Zhi received news from the Lama Temple that the prime minister and the empress seemed to have had a quarrel and broke up.

Xia Zhi couldn't figure it out, and looked at Lin Fang suspiciously: "What does the prime minister always go to the queen for?" Listening to operas and reading story books, and occasionally going out to play with two children in my arms, I can't lift my spirits at all about those intrigues.

Lin Fangdao: "The empress and the empress dowager are both members of the Lin family. Now that the empress dowager is unable to do what she wants, if the prime minister wants to do something, he will naturally ask the empress to help him. Otherwise, if the empress empress does not recognize her relatives, the prime minister will be beaten like an egg? According to Yichen, the prime minister wants to Let the little prince go back to the palace. After all, the crown prince's biological mother is Concubine Mei, so he is not too young to worry about, but once he becomes an adult, and he learns the truth about the destruction of his mother's family, the Lin family is doomed to bleed. For the long-term plan, the prime minister also He will definitely be pulled down from the position of prince."

When Xia Cong was adopted to Zhenping Prince's Mansion, Prime Minister Lin opposed him the most. If the Empress hadn't insisted on going her own way, even Xia Zhi would not be able to stop this old minister.

There was a mistake in the Qiuwei incident. In addition to the scholars who carried the examination papers being imprisoned, many people who followed Zhou Shi'an were also imprisoned.Such a major event happened at the foot of the imperial city. Hearing that the emperor intends to cancel the scientific examination this autumn, scholars all over the world felt as if they were struck by lightning, and they cried out for injustice for a while.

Xia Zhi also heard the rumors outside and was puzzled. When did he issue such an order?Wanting to make a decree to calm people's hearts, Lin Fang stopped him with a smile: "Wait."

Xia Zhi was puzzled, what are you waiting for?

Before he could figure it out, Fuxiu presented a scroll. When he opened it, he saw the content of Zhou Shi'an's petition, bluntly saying that the scientific examination was cheating, and it was unfair to the scholars in the world. He begged the emperor to investigate thoroughly.

Fuxiu said: "The servant who reported back said that now this petition is widely circulated among scholars, and everyone is discussing it. I don't know how the emperor decides?"

The copy that Zhou Shi'an handed over was still neatly stored in the box, and it is unknown who wrote it.Xia Zhi said: "You quickly pass Lin to the palace."

Fuxiu led the decree to go to Dingguohou's mansion, but did not see Lin Fang. The servants in the mansion said that the son was going out in a hurry, and he brought a lot of followers, and he didn't know when he would return to the mansion.Fuxiu left a message and hurried back to the palace.When Xia Zhi heard the news, his head was at a loss. Qiu Wei is a big deal. Could there be something more serious than this that needs to be resolved urgently?

The voice outside the palace requesting a thorough investigation of the scientific research case became louder and louder, and even some reclusive Confucian scholars heard the news and signed a joint letter.Xia Zhi panicked for a while, hesitated for a moment, and then made a decree that the Ministry of Punishment will take charge of the matter, and give justice to the innocent scholar.

The Ministry of Criminal Affairs issued an order to immediately interrogate the scholars, invigilators, etc. who were detained in the prison. They followed the vines and arrested a group of people who resell the test questions.The clamor of petitions outside the palace finally subsided.

When Lin Fang entered the palace again, most of the scientific examination case had been reviewed.When Xia Zhi saw him, he was startled and asked eagerly, "Where have you been these days?"

Lin Fang didn't have time to explain to him, and hurriedly said: "The emperor hastened to decree that the scientific examination case cannot be further investigated."

"what?"

Lin Fang rushed into the palace at full speed, without even taking a breath, he tightly pinched Xia Zhi's wrist with his fingers: "Quickly make an order."

Xia Zhi didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly asked Fu Xiu to pass on his oral instructions, and immediately stopped the review.Fuxiu hurriedly took the order and left, Lin Fang was relieved at this moment, the palm of his hand let go, and it slid down Xia Zhi's body.

"Lin Fang!" Xia Zhi was astonished, his face turned pale, and he quickly dragged him onto the bed, "Come here, call the imperial physician!"

"No need." Lin Fang suddenly opened his eyes, a slight sound came from his throat, and then slowly closed his eyelids.

Xia Zhi raised his hand to touch his forehead, it was chilly, covered with a thin layer of cold sweat, his face was scratched somewhere, a piece of skin was broken on the left cheekbone, and the bright red spots under the skin could be seen Bloodshot.He hastily untied Lin Fang's clothes, checked from head to toe, and found no other injuries.

The emperor called urgently, and the imperial physician rushed all the way carrying the medicine box. When he rushed into the main hall, he saw the emperor stripping off Shizi Lin's clothes, caressing him with his palms, and staring at Shizi's naked body incessantly, gasped suddenly Air-conditioning, I wish I could poke my eyes out.

"The old minister kowtowed to the emperor." The imperial doctor knelt on the ground tremblingly, not daring to lift his head.Xia Zhi hurriedly gathered Lin Fang's clothes, grabbed the quilt at the side and covered him up: "The imperial doctor, come here quickly, let me see how your son is going?"

The imperial doctor was terrified, knelt in front of the dragon bed to ask for the pulse of Lin Shizi, occasionally raised his eyes to see his face, then quickly lowered his head, not daring to look closely.

Seeing that he was silent, Xia Zhi anxiously scratched his ears and cheeks: "I ask you, did your son suffer any internal injuries?"

The imperial physician held down Shizi Lin's pulse, examined and diagnosed again and again, wondering: "According to the pulse, the eldest son must have fallen asleep..." Seeing that the emperor did not respond, the imperial doctor kowtowed in panic, "I have little talent and little knowledge, and I really don't know what the eldest son is." What kind of internal injury."

Xia Zhi: "..."

Angrily sent the imperial doctor away, Xia Zhi was still worried, and called a little eunuch over: "Go to Dingguo Hou Mansion, and invite Mr. Bai Da, and also, ask Miss Qinglan to come here too!"

The little eunuch ordered Xia Zhi to sit on the edge of the bed, staring at the scratch on Lin Fang's face, the more he looked at it, the more angry he became.

How dare to do something to his people, and even move his face, it's really annoying.

If he finds out who did it, he will definitely scratch his face!
