Emperor Yuanjia's temper was inexplicable. After the bewildered Ninth Prince was sent back to the mansion, he sent someone to inquire about Emperor Yuanjia's whereabouts today.

He was also panicked by the punishment for a while, if he was on weekdays, he might have discussed it with the counselors in the mansion first, but now he is completely confused, and he is eager to know the reason for Emperor Yuanjia's anger.

And his behavior of spying on the emperor seemed to slap Emperor Yuanjia hard: "Nizi, Nizi, how could I give birth to such a rebellious and unfilial son? I'm not dead yet, he and the Zhen family are like this Winning over ministers, forming cliques for private interests, Li Fang, listen to what those who follow him call him, nine thousand years old, thanks to him for coming down!"

Eunuch Li hurriedly stepped forward to give Emperor Yuan Jia his blessing: "Sage calm down, saint calm down, these nine princes may have been confused for a while and listened to the slander! Usually the nine princes are very filial to you."

"His filial piety to me is to spy on the traces of the emperor. His filial piety to me is to accept bribes, sell officials and nobles, and I lack him for food and clothing. Listen to what those scholars say about him!"

Eunuch Li was afraid that Emperor Yuanjia would be angry, so he softly said: "Those students are just debating topics, although some of Lord Zhen's remarks were a bit radical, but they didn't mention that it was the Ninth Prince's fault. I absolutely don’t mean to blame you, Saint.”

Emperor Yuan Jia also calmed down a little bit, he still couldn't stop the anger in his heart when he remembered what happened in Xiangming Pavilion today.

Today's debate between the two parties was so wonderful that even Emperor Yuan Jia couldn't stop applauding it.Although this topic of debate is somewhat related to official affairs, Emperor Yuan Jia believed that he was not a person who cherishes his own treasures and does not accept good words, and these students are the future pillars of the country, and they will also be officials in the future , such a debate topic actually has the purpose of alerting the students, and Emperor Yuan Jia listened to it interestingly.

Just as he was lamenting the great fortune of the country, there were so many talented people, but he heard someone put forward a different opinion. This person was wearing a suit of green clothes and Confucianism, and he was obviously a scholar.

Emperor Yuan Jia thought it was a troublemaker at first, but after that person opened his mouth, the students around him bowed their hands and saluted, and some students shouted: "Mr. Zhou, do you have any new insights today?"

The scholar who was called Mr. Zhou smoothed his robe and Shi Shiran walked among the students, and said: "Everyone knows that the people are the foundation of the country, and officials who compete with the people for their own interests will make the people betray the monarch and conceal the truth. The common people are ascetic, and the officials who fish and meat the common people are the great harm to the country. There is no distinction between good and bad. Xiangming Pavilion came up with this question to wake us up. The way of being an official should be honest and honest, and people-oriented Only self-restraint and rites can benefit the common people, do you think so?"

When all the students heard what he said, they all nodded in agreement, even Emperor Yuan Jia nodded silently in his heart. This person's remarks completely fit his thoughts. If all the officials under him can do the same, why worry about the dynasty not being able to rejuvenate?

Emperor Yuan Jia seemed to have realized something, and even thought of recruiting that Mr. Zhou, but what Mr. Zhou said next made Emperor Yuan Jia almost fall down in anger.

"Today's debate topic is silverfish, so can you listen to me give an example?"

"There is an evil servant in Jinling. Taking advantage of the power of the master's family, he went out to harm the local fish and meat people, which aroused the voice of the local people. However, because the master's family was kind to him in the past, the master's family treated him very well. Therefore, the evil servant became more and more reckless and arrogant, which caused the former master's family to be notorious among the people, and finally the master's family lost public opinion because of this evil servant, and the family business was wiped out, so can this evil servant be called a moth?"

Everyone couldn't help nodding their heads in agreement when they heard this, and even some students were filled with righteous indignation: "This kind of evil servant should be dealt with!"

Seeing that everyone agreed, Mr. Zhou said again: "Although that evil servant is hateful, the master's family who manipulated the servant to commit murder is the worst one!"

Some students retorted: "Then the master's family is just being deceived. If someone tells them, they will be able to wake up."

This statement attracted the approval of the people around him, but Mr. Zhou seemed to dismiss it: "It is understandable that the master cares about the kindness of the past, but his mistake is that he blindly trusts the evil servant, and he is confused by the evil servant's flattery. But they inspected their property from time to time, indulged villains, and ruined their great foundation in vain. Just like those two kinds of officials, although they are hateful, if today's saints can see clearly, don't rely on cronyism, and make good use of talents, then this kind of shaking the country How could Ben's people show up!"

Mr. Zhou's words were sharp, and he even pointed out that Emperor Yuan Jia was wrong, but his words were actually approved by most of the students.

The style of writing in the Great Zhou Dynasty was at its peak. As long as the words and deeds of the students did not involve remarks that were not conducive to the rule of the dynasty, the management in this regard was quite loose. In places such as teahouses and poetry clubs, you can often hear students talking about the affairs of the dynasty or the virtues of officials. The voice, the remarks of some celebrities can even affect some political decisions.

This was also the main reason why the sixth prince wanted to gain a good reputation among literati.

It's just that Mr. Zhou's remark blatantly accused Emperor Yuan Jia of not doing so, but it made Emperor Yuan Jia feel dissatisfied.This person actually criticized him, if it wasn't outside, he would have arrested this arrogant person who spoke out loud.

Emperor Yuan Jia was angry, but he heard some students below discussing: "Do you think Mr. Zhou's remarks mean something?"

The person next to him replied: "Who says no? You say that today's saint is also a rare and wise monarch, but it's a pity..."

The students around urged: "Don't be so secretive. I know that your family has some secrets. Did something happen in the court?"

Seeing that everyone was attracted by his words, the man stopped pretending and said, "I guess Mr. Zhou must have known something, otherwise there would be such a metaphor. Have you ever heard what he said about the evil servant of Jinling, The evil servant should be referring to the Zhen family in Jinling. I heard from my father that the Zhen family is a powerful party in Jinling. Sex is very bad! But people rely on the concubine Zhen and the nine princes who are favored in the palace, and they have nothing to do. And I heard that the officials in Jinling City are following the Zhen family's lead, saying that the Zhen family is the local emperor of Jinling City Not too much."

After he finished speaking, everyone was in an uproar, and the man lowered his voice and said, "I heard that once an official from Jinling couldn't see what the Zhen family did, so he wrote a note to report the evil deeds of the Zhen family. , It's a pity that the book was intercepted by members of the Ninth Prince's party before it reached the imperial court. The official was also persecuted and imprisoned. The official was an old friend of Mr. Zhou. The speech should also be due to the grievances of friends."

Another student next to him said: "I heard that the sage relies heavily on the Ninth Prince and the Zhen family. I think that as long as the Zhen family doesn't commit such crimes, they will be safe with the Ninth Prince's protection!"

Everyone sighed at what the Zhen family had done.

Seeing that person's remarks seemed to arouse some people's resentment towards the Ninth Prince and the Zhen family, at this time several students stood up and said, "Where did you hear these words, the Ninth Prince is a virtuous corporal and treats everyone dearly?" And, it's not like what you said, you may have heard some rumors and came here to frame the Ninth Prince!"

The student who spoke was dressed luxuriously, and looked like a man of aristocratic family.

When he said this, the original student immediately became dissatisfied. He glanced at the man dressed as the son of the aristocratic family, and said with some disdain: "Who am I talking about? It turned out to be Brother Wang! I heard that Brother Wang's father is now Being with the Ninth Prince is very good, Brother Wang will be able to find an official job soon with the help of the Ninth Prince! It doesn't look like we have to work hard to study and start a career!"

When the young man surnamed Wang saw this person retorting, he immediately showed dissatisfaction: "Do you have any evidence for what the Zhen family did? If you don't have it, you will slander the Zhen family and His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince!"

"you······"

The arguments among the students became more and more serious, which also made Emperor Yuan Jia's face more and more gloomy. Waiting for the farce to end, Emperor Yuan Jia was already extremely angry.

As soon as he left the Xiangming Pavilion, Emperor Yuan Jia asked his hidden guards to investigate the ins and outs of this matter.

Not long after Emperor Yuanjia returned to the palace, matters related to the Ninth Prince and the Zhen family had already been brought to Emperor Yuanjia's desk. When the Ninth Prince accepted the report calmly, he felt a surge of anger welling up in his heart, and then there was the matter that the Ninth Prince came to pay his respects and was reprimanded and detained by Emperor Yuan Jia.

"Sage, Concubine Zhen is asking to see you!" The little eunuch reported to Emperor Yuan Jia in a panic.

Emperor Yuan Jia originally wanted to say "I don't see you" directly, but after thinking that she was the woman he had loved for more than ten years, and the little eunuch said that Concubine Zhen had been waiting outside for a long time, he finally softened his heart and called Concubine Zhen Come in.

At this time, all the decorations on Concubine Zhen's body have been removed, but in this cold windy weather, she only wears a plain white palace dress, her hair is loose, her eyes are red and swollen, and her complexion is pale. As soon as she came in, she knelt down in front of Emperor Yuan Jia. Please forgive me and say: "The sage forgives the sin, it is the concubine who can't teach well, please forgive the sage!"

Concubine Zhen's posture was extremely low, which eased Emperor Yuan Jia's anger. He patted the paper on the royal case and shouted to Concubine Zhen: "You are a good son, listen to what outsiders say. Call him nine thousand years old, hmph, I’m not dead yet, he’s impatient. And your Zhen family, I didn’t know your Zhen family was so capable, what a Zhen family, what a Zhen Yingjia !"

Seeing Emperor Yuan Jia's words of accusation, Concubine Zhen just kept bowing her head to plead guilty: "Sage calm down, saint calm down, Xuan'er is extremely filial to you on weekdays, absolutely not like this, it's just Xuan'er's subordinates treating you His words of flattery are insignificant!"

Concubine Zhen's tearful appearance made Emperor Yuan Jia's anger gradually subside. After all, he was the child he spoiled so much, and the Ninth Prince was always filial to him, and Emperor Yuan Jia couldn't help but wonder if the Ninth Prince was really favored confused.

Concubine Zhen glanced at the face of the saint slightly, and said cautiously: "The father and brother in the family acted a little arrogantly, but they definitely wouldn't act like this. The saint must not doubt the loyalty of the elder brother and the Zhen family to you just because of a few provocative words. !"

Concubine Zhen is indeed the person who knows Emperor Yuan Jia best. Her performance with few words and tears made Emperor Yuan Jia hesitate.
