My brother's name is Jia Baoyu

The answer is of course self-evident.

He knew that recently, Yan Qing's passive and forbearance made the people under him more or less unspeakable. It's just that he thought that Fang Zhifu was a sensible person and would think clearly. Thinking of turning into a dead end.

"Once upon a time, Han Shan asked Shide, saying: The world slanders me, deceives me, humiliates me, laughs at me, despises me, despises me, hates me, deceives me, how to deal with it? Sir, how do you think Master Shide answered?"

Jia Jin didn't answer the question instead.

Fang Zhifu paused for a moment, he still knew a little bit about Zen rituals in this kind of Buddhism, of course he knew how Master Shide replied, "Shide said: Just endure him, let him, let him, avoid him, be patient. He, respect him, ignore him, stay a few more years and watch him."

To raise land, Fang Zhifu opened his eyes wide: "You mean?"

Jia Jin didn't wait for him to speak, and continued: "Sir, you know the truth of Gou Jian's hard work and courage. The boy thinks that anyone who achieves great things needs to endure what he can't bear, so that he can achieve success!"

After finishing speaking, Jia Jin stopped talking. His answer just now implicitly told Fang Zhifu his choice, but indirectly explained to him that the fourth prince's dormancy is for the great event in the future.

"Okay, okay! I'm thinking left! You kid...haha!"

Fang Zhifu's sudden burst of laughter startled Jia Jin, and also attracted the eyes of Jia Zhu and the old man who was talking.

The old man is Kong Shan, the head of Baihe Academy, and at the same time, the mentor of Fang Zhifu.

Fang Zhifu was young and successful, and he was very arrogant. Although he was temporarily frustrated because of his uncle's affairs, he soon got the help of the fourth prince, and his life was generally smooth.

Kong Shanchang has always felt that his apprentice's temper is afraid that he will not be able to get along in the officialdom. There is no other reason. His temper is too impulsive. It is a good thing, but there is no guarantee that it will not be criticized in the future!

It was rare to see him bow his head so willingly.

Generally speaking, this meeting can be regarded as a joy for the host and guest, of course, the premise is that the prefect does not keep staring at Jia Jin's words with that cannibalistic gaze.

The day soon came to the day of the hospital examination.

The prefectural examination is administered by the academic officials of each prefecture, and all children who pass the prefectural examination can participate. There is no difference between the registration of the prefectural examination and the county examination, except that it is different from the five consecutive examinations of the county examination. The prefectural examination is only divided into main examination and There are two re-examinations, and after the two exams, a long case will be issued, and everyone on the long case will be admitted as a scholar.

Because of last year's county examination, Jia Jin won two cases in one fell swoop in the government examination, so this time, Jia Jin has become the focus of everyone's attention.

The young man stood in the crowd with a tall and straight figure and a clear demeanor.

Others whispered to him in his ears, and Jia Jin's face was also expressionless, as if he remained motionless.

At some point, a big gong and drum had been carried over to the gate of the Gong Yuan, and a crisp sound of gong and drum came from the gate, resounding throughout the scene, and at the same time officially kicked off the prelude to the academic examination.

After hearing the sound of gongs and drums, all the students became anxious. Some students trembled tremblingly, and some students kept wiping the cold sweat from their foreheads.

After all, the college exam is different from the government exam and the county exam. Not to mention that there are only two exams in three years. As long as you pass the threshold of the college exam, it is equivalent to stepping into the threshold of a scholar-bureaucrat. How can these students not be excited.

After going through tedious steps such as singing security and checking identity, Jia Jin finally entered the tribute courtyard.

It didn't take long for Jia Jin to tidy up the environment in the examination room, and the academic and political officer who was in charge of the examination this time slowly entered the examination room.

The academic and political officials of the college examination usually patrol the examination room before the candidates' scientific examinations. When they arrive at Jia Jin's place, the leading man falters slightly, and then walks forward calmly.

Jia Jin raised her head and took a quick look at the leader, then lowered her head again.

The leader was dressed in a red robe with a majestic expression. He looked like a rigid and upright person, but he was somewhat similar to the leader Kong Shan whom he had seen a few days ago.

resemblance?Could it be...

Jia Jin's expression was a little unnatural, and he suddenly remembered that when he met Fang Zhifu, Fang Zhifu had said that if he answered his question well, he would guarantee him to pass the hospital examination.

He originally thought this was just a momentary rumor by Fang Zhifu, but now that the examiner Xuezheng and Kong Shanzhang have similar faces, they must be related in some way, and Fang Zhifu is Kong Shanzhang's closed disciple. It is self-evident what kind of relationship he has with this lord Xuezheng.

After patrolling the examination room, Kong Xuezheng entered the room prepared for the examiners in the Tribute Court to rest.

As soon as he stepped into the door, he saw that Fang Zhifu was already sitting in the room drinking tea.

"Brother, but you have seen that kid, does he look like a good guy?"

Seeing his appearance, Kong Xuezheng felt a little angry.His little junior brother has been doted on by his father and brothers since he was a child, even though he always has to say a few words about him, he still takes good care of this little junior brother in action.

"I just glanced at it, and I can see what it is. I don't know why you care so much about him. Could it be that you have moved your mind to accept disciples?"

Fang Zhifu picked up the tea bowl and took another sip before slowly saying: "That kid is quite what I like. If he passes the exam this time, I will personally accept this kid as my personal disciple at the banquet. , that kid can’t refuse! Senior brother and teacher will have to take care of him when the time comes!”

Kong Xuezheng originally looked down upon him for taking refuge in the fourth prince, but now seeing his rogue behavior towards Jia Jin, he said angrily, "If that young man is really as talented as you said, Yes, even if you don’t tell me, I’m also a pity!”

At this time, Jia Jin certainly didn't know the conversation between the two in the room. He looked at the test questions in front of him and fell into deep thought.

The entire examination paper of the college examination is divided into three questions.

The first question is to silently write a paragraph of text in "Sacred Enlightenment".

Those who write this type of question often select a sentence, cut off the two ends, and leave only the middle for the examinee to complete.The question type is simple, and it usually tests the students' basic memorization and recitation of the exam.

This question was not very difficult for Jia Jin, he only glanced at it briefly.

The second question is the essay question of the Four Books of Dao. It uses some sentences in the Four Books as the topic, and let the candidates answer it. Just like the content of the county examination and government examination, they need to explain their own understanding and knowledge.

This type of question usually has its own set of answers. After all, the Four Books are only a few thousand words. For the questioner, in fact, there are only so many questions that can be answered over and over again, unless there is a cut-off question like Fang Zhifu last time. , otherwise the question will not be difficult, but how to answer well, but candidates need to put in their minds to enter.

The third question of the college exam was a policy question that had never appeared in the county exam or the government exam. This question was the most difficult in the entire exam paper, and it was almost one question that determined the success or failure of the college exam.

"Nowadays there is a flood in the Hejian Mansion, and the refugees are scattered. Who should be punished for the past losses? Who should be punished for the future dangers?"

The topic of this policy is not difficult to guess, after all, the most urgent matter in the past few months is the flood in Hejian Mansion.

It's just that the question is sharp, and it only asks how the examinee can help the people get rid of the current predicament?What mistakes did officials make in dealing with this flood, and how should they be corrected?What issues should we pay attention to in the future?

This question requires candidates to combine practical issues with Confucian classics, do a long article, and explain their own views, so they need to put some thought into it!

These three questions, step by step, thoroughly assess the knowledge of a scholar, which is very consistent with Confucius' thought of step by step. I think that Xuezheng must be an official deeply influenced by Confucianism.

Now that the imperial court has issued a decree to reduce or exempt Hejian Mansion's taxes, most of the exams must be written in this regard, but Jia Jin doesn't want to write about it.

Although tax reduction and exemption are also very important, how to develop people's livelihood is the key. Jia Jin pondered for a moment, and then slowly started to write.

"The people's livelihood is the most important thing for the country..." The pen in the hand moves accordingly, and the elegant style of the pavilion in one hand emerges vividly in the pen. When you swipe the ink, there are dragons and snakes flying in the pen.

Jia Jin completed the policy topic in her hand with an unstoppable posture.

After putting down the pen in his hand, Jia Jin slowly breathed a sigh of relief. The font of the test paper in his hand was correct, and the content looked satisfactory. He wiped the thin sweat from his brow, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief!

The college entrance examination came to an end in such a situation, and Jia Jin's life has been very peaceful during the days of waiting for the list.On the contrary, Jia Zhu, just like Jia Lian before, has always been restless. If Jia Jin hadn't comforted her and mentioned Jia Lan in the capital to him from time to time, Jia Zhu would have been very anxious!

At this time, the grading of the examination papers was going on in an orderly manner. Kong Xuezheng looked at the few articles handed over by his grading officer, and just watched him frown unconsciously, "What kind of nonsense articles, clichés, The words of praise are too vulgar!"

The graders who came to deliver the examination papers wiped the sweat from their brows. Although Kong Xuezheng is not a direct branch of the Kong family, he can still speak in the Kong family. He himself is also talented in writing, so what he said A few papers are basically on the list of failures.

The examiner looked at the test paper in his hand, took a deep breath, and came to Kong Xuezheng.

Kong Xuezheng was frowning. He had read no less than dozens of test papers, and none of the test papers was like what Fang Zhifu said. Reading it made people feel excited and refreshed!

If the test papers of the boy mentioned by Fang Zhifu were among the few people who just lost it, then he should go to persuade his little junior brother!

Having said that, Kong Xuezheng still read the test paper very carefully when he took the test paper handed over by the examiner!

This paper, good, good, every word is pearls, wonderful!

The marking officer carefully looked at Kong Xuezheng's expression, but this time it was different from the previous anger, Kong Xuezheng felt more comfortable the more he looked at it, and he applauded again and again when he saw it at the end.

"This test paper, unseal it for me, and see which student it is from?"

Because the college exam is the last one, after the transcript, the test paper will no longer be filled in with the seat number, but will directly write the candidate's hometown and name on it. If the academic officer wants to check the student's information, that's fine. !

"My lord, this student is Jia Jin from Jinling Mansion!"

On the day when the long case was issued, Jia Zhu took Jia Jin to the teahouse opposite the Gongyuan early in the morning. When they arrived, the private room on the second floor was already full of people. Greetings, Jia Jin also responded one by one.

"The list is released, the list is released!" Someone shouted.

The students in the teahouse started rustling all at once, and all of them held their breaths, waiting for the moment when the result would be announced. Several students couldn't wait to rush to the front of the case wall.

Jia Zhu and Jia Jin didn't seem to be in a hurry, the servants they brought from home had all left, and even Luo Yu couldn't hold back, he asked Jia Jin for instructions and ran out.

Seeing Jia Zhu on the opposite side with a calm look, and looking much better than the previous Jia Lian, Jia Jin felt a little comforted, it was Jia Lian's actions at the gate of the Gongyuan that made him really fresh in his memory!

"Hi!~"

The tea in the teahouse was freshly served, and it was the time when it was scalding. For some reason, Jia Zhu didn't realize that she was being scalded at this time!

Jia Jin: Alright!Both his brothers have the same virtue!

"Third Master, Third Master..." Luo Yu rushed up to the second floor in one breath, before he could catch his breath, he said to Jia Jin: "First, Third Master won the first place in the college examination, so Third Master That's enough to get three cases, little Sanyuan!"

Luo Yu was very happy for her young master, and spoke with a bit of pride, this is his young master!

Jia Jin: ······ I feel ashamed of my brother and Luo Yu, what should I do!

Jinling is a state capital with a large number of people taking scientific examinations. Even so, only 50 people have passed the college examinations and become scholars.

The hairpin ceremony after being admitted as a scholar was very grand, and Jia Jin and the other newly recruited scholars gathered in the lobby of the official office at the appointed time.

Wearing a blue shirt and a velvet cap, Jia Jin was very conspicuous among this group of new talents. He pretended not to hear a few people discussing Jia Jin in a low voice, and he acted the same to those who came to chat Very polite.

After Kong Xuezheng had spoken, it was time for the hairpin. Jia Jin chose a hibiscus flower, and Kong Xuezheng put it on the velvet hat for him. Lun Tang met with the academic officer, and the journey was very beautiful. No wonder there are so many students trying to get into the exam. Even Jia Jin inevitably felt a little emotional at this time!

At the banquet in the evening, Jia Jin made another wave of limelight.

Fang Zhifu personally accepted Jia Jin as a closed disciple at the banquet. When Fang Zhifu spoke, Jia Jin was stunned. He didn't turn around until the scholar standing behind him congratulated him.

Jia Jin:... He doesn't want to take this kind of old and cunning person as his teacher at all!

Fang Zhifu gave Jia Jin the same feeling as Lin Ruhai. Although Fang Zhifu was a bit outspoken, but he was able to win the favor of the fourth prince, so there is still something special about him!

Thinking of the Kong family standing behind this master, Jia Jin felt a lot of displeasure, but she still recognized Fang Zhifu as her teacher!

Jia Jin didn't stay long in Jinling. Not long after attending the Hairpin Banquet, he and Jia Zhu set off for Kyoto.

Fang Zhifu was very reluctant to let go of this newly recruited disciple, but he still had more than one year's term in Jinling, so he couldn't go with them.

He wrote a letter and handed it to Jia Jin himself, asking him to visit Kong's family in the capital after entering the capital, and someone will help him with his studies!

Jia Jin responded one by one.

At this time, Kyoto is in April, which is exactly the time when spring flowers bloom all year round.

When Jia Zhu and Jia Jin arrived at the pier, there were already servants of the Jia family waiting there.

The carriage slowly arrived at Rongguo Mansion. As soon as Jia Jin got off the carriage, she saw Jia Lian smiling at the door.Seeing him coming, Jia Lian quickly took two steps forward and said, "Our talented gentleman is back. My brother has become much more energetic when he sees you like this. It is true that people are refreshed on happy occasions. Come on, come with me to see the old lady. This time there is someone you didn't expect is here!"

Jia Jin was still puzzled, and found out the reason only after entering Jia Shi's courtyard.

A woman in a green smoked sweater, with a jasper dragon and phoenix hairpin slanted in her bun, was sitting upright on the right side of Jia Shishi. Jia Jin took a closer look and found that this person was Yuan Chun whom she had not seen for many years.

Since Jia Jin was six years old and Yuan Chun entered the palace, the siblings have not seen each other for four years.

Even that marriage in Yuanchun, because she was only a side concubine, she did not have the chance to return home for three dynasties like the main concubine.

When the two met at this time, Yuan Chun was very excited.

"Jin'er, come to sister quickly!" Yuan Chun called out.

Jia Jin was also very pleasantly surprised. He was close to Yuan Chun when he was a child. When Yuan Chun was about to enter the palace, he even thought of letting Yuan Chun die. He had admiration and pity for this sister. His sister should be upright. The one who married someone else to be the main wife of that high-ranking family, unexpectedly became Tu Yanqing's side concubine by accident.

If Yan Qing sits in that supreme position in the future, then Yuan Chun will definitely accompany him into the deep palace. The deep palace is lonely, and he really can't bear to let his sister's future years be wasted just like this.

Walking slowly in front of Yuan Chun, Jia Jin called softly, "How is sister?"

Yuan Chun's eyes turned red inexplicably, when she came today, everyone respected her, even Jia Shishi was a little humble towards her.

They asked her whether the fourth prince was kind to her, whether the fourth prince was kind, etc., but no one asked her how she was doing now, whether she was living a happy and healthy life, and there was only this younger brother who had been different since childhood , I would say something like this when I saw her.

"My sister is living a good life, and the fourth prince is considerate to me. I haven't seen you for many years. My younger brother is so old now!" Yuan Chun sighed.

Jia Shishi's spirit is very good today, and she seems to have wiped out the previous decline. Seeing Yuan Chun calling Jia Jin, she quickly called Baoyu to her side, and said to Yuan Chun: "Who says it's not, now Baoyu Both Jin'er and Jin'er are grown up, and the nobleman's life in the fourth prince's mansion can be regarded as a good life, if you add a son and a half daughter in the future, then you will really gain a firm foothold!"

Yuan Chun knew the meaning of Jia Shi's words, but her children were destined by fate, and her father had a cold temper, and he was not very concerned about that matter.

She gently touched her lower abdomen, alas!Everything depends on fate!

Just facing Jia Shishi, Yuan Chun nodded lightly in agreement with her words.

"I heard that Jin'er got a small three yuan in this scientific examination, and now he is a scholar!" Yuan Chun laughed.

"This kid has been ambitious since he was a child, and he will be the number one scholar in the future!" Jia Shishi smiled lightly.

Seeing Jia Jin's promising future, Yuan Chun's eyes turned to Bao Yu unconsciously. She and Bao Yu were also very close when they were young, so she asked, "Where has Bao Yu's book been read now? I'm afraid that he will have to take the same exam as Brother Jin in the near future!" "

Baoyu felt close to Yuanchun when he saw him, but when he saw Yuanchun talking about his academic achievements, he felt a little resentful.

Seeing that he faltered and didn't speak, Yuan Chun knew it in her heart, and she talked about other things, so she brought this matter over.

After lunch at Jia Shi's place, Yuanchun suggested that he was going to Wang's place, and led Jia Jin and Baoyu out of Jia Shi's courtyard. Baoyu was afraid that this sister would ask about her studies again, Then he excused something and left from the two of them.

Yuan Chun also had something to say to Jia Jin, so he didn't say anything about Baoyu's actions, and the two walked slowly towards Wang's courtyard one after the other.

After walking to a remote place, Yuan Chun said to Jia Jin in a low voice: "Your Highness told me to tell you that news has come from the palace. I am afraid that the saint is interested in Zen!"

Jia Jin paused, and he knew that Yuan Chun's purpose for coming today was not simple.

"The sage was originally in poor health. Recently, affairs in the court continued, so he was a little powerless. Somehow, he had the idea of ​​the Zen position. Now, except for the third prince and our lord, there is no competition among the others in the court. I am afraid that the future emperor will be between these two!"

Yuan Chun's voice was faint: "The life in the deep palace, if possible, I really don't want to go back! But our master can't retreat, take a step back, what awaits him is eternal doom!"

Knowing what she meant, Jia Jin sighed inwardly!

Now only the third prince and the fourth prince are competing for the throne in the palace. The third prince was supported by Emperor Yuan Jia, almost a puppet of Emperor Yuan Jia!Emperor Yuanjia's obsession with power, if his body didn't allow him, he might not have chosen the Zen position early. The third prince has little knowledge, and he almost obeys Emperor Yuanjia's orders. If Emperor Yuanjia chooses the Zen position, the third prince must be a good person candidates.

Although the fourth prince has chosen to hibernate now, he is still filial to Emperor Yuan Jia on weekdays, but the gap between father and son has long existed. Compared with the third prince, he is obviously more difficult for Emperor Yuan Jia to control!

The emperor's mind is hard to guess, and no one knows what Emperor Yuanjia's choice is until the last moment!

"Sister, don't worry, go in and see mother! Mother must be very happy to see you."

While talking, the two had unknowingly walked to Wang's small Buddhist hall.

Cigarettes were curling up in the small Buddhist hall, and Mrs. Wang was reciting the scriptures in her hands with her back to them.

Seeing Wang's appearance, Yuan Chun was a little puzzled and asked, "Mother is this?"

Jia Jin's expression was normal: "My mother is now immersing herself in the Buddha, and she has some insights into Buddhism. Now all the things in the house have been put down. This is my mother's choice."

Yuan Chun thought of Jia Zheng's appearance, and felt a little distressed for Wang's current appearance. She was about to lift her foot in, but she heard Jia Jin behind her say: "Mother chooses to let go, why doesn't sister choose to let go too!"

"Sister, I am responsible for everything!" Jia Jin's words behind her were so loud that Yuan Chun burst into tears for no reason.

In the past, she always carried the burden of Jia's family because the people in her family made her unable to see expectations and hope. Now Jia Jin said that she wanted her to take off the burden of Jia's family. It is her dependence.

After a while, Yuan Chun let out a chuckle: "Well, my sister believes in you!"

West of Kyoto, Xishan Village.

It is now July, but the climate in Kyoto is already very dry.

Most of the farmers in Xishan Village are tenants of the nearby Huangzhuang. At this time, it was just dawn, but most of the tenants had already carried their wooden barrels to the big river near Huangzhuang.

Liu San, a villager in Xishan Village, is one of them. Liu San was a refugee from Hejian Mansion last year. Because all his family members died in the process of fleeing, he did not return with the refugees in October last year. Instead, he settled in Xishan Village with five taels of silver subsidized by the imperial court.

Introduced by a matchmaker at the beginning of the year, she married a widow in Xishan Village. The widow's former husband was a tenant in Huangzhuang, and he died of a serious illness!

When Liu San was living in Hejian Mansion, he rented the land of a landlord's family for rent.

Now I married the widow, and after the widow's recommendation, I became a tenant of Huangzhuang.

I originally wanted to be a tenant of Huangzhuang, and the treatment is better than that of being a tenant of the landlord's house. I didn't expect that shortly after Liu Sangang became a tenant, the Huangzhuang in the west of the city was given to the third prince's apprentice by a decree of Emperor Yuanjia. Yan Ming!

The new manager of Huangzhuang was harsh. He abruptly increased the rent from [-]% to [-]%. This move certainly aroused the dissatisfaction of the tenants in Xishan Village.

They also quarreled and quarreled, but they still succumbed because of the group of guards brought by the steward!

It has not rained in Kyoto for more than a month now, so the small river they used to carry water has dried up, so they have to go to the big river near Huangzhuang every morning to carry water, although they are very tired It's a bit too much, but at least it can keep the seedlings from dying of thirst, so people from Xishan Village come here every day.

The widow that Liu San married was just diagnosed with pregnancy last month. For the sake of the widow and child, Liu San had to work desperately.

No, Liu San and two tenants in the village came to the big river near Huangzhuang early in the morning to fetch water. On the way, seeing Liu San burying his head in carrying the water without making a sound, one of them took the initiative to greet him: "Liu San Third Brother, just tell me if it’s God’s fault, last year your Hejian Mansion suffered from floods, but this year we can’t even see a drop of rain here, it’s really crazy!”

Liu San still didn't answer. As a foreigner, he would inevitably be squeezed out when he entered Xishan Village, so he didn't say anything to this person!

Seeing Liu San's silent expression, the other person wanted to provoke him, so he took up the previous person's words and said: "Who says it's not, but those people who went back from the Hejian Mansion are now more powerful than others. Our life is much better! I heard from the distant relatives of my mother-in-law's second aunt that the people in Hejian Mansion are living a really good life now. Didn't the imperial court reduce or exempt them from taxes for three years? I heard that they even sent craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry to Improve their agricultural equipment, the agricultural equipment they are using now, tsk tsk, can plow half an acre of land a day!"

"Hey, don't talk big, it's really so powerful, they can live a happy life every day!"

"Oh, why don't you believe it, this is a distant relative of my mother-in-law's second aunt..."

The three of them came to the big river after talking, because they came earlier than others, and there were only three of them on this road.

"Why is it so quiet today? The three of us are the first to come, aren't we..."

Liu San suddenly stopped, "Hush, listen!"

The sound of running water that could be heard before walking here seemed to have disappeared. The three walked quickly to the river, and their eyes widened unconsciously!

"Hey, why is the river gone?" a villager in Xishan Village asked.

"No, no, I came to fetch water yesterday, quick, hit me quickly, am I dreaming!"

Liu San remained silent with a sullen face. He looked at the dry river bed. Except for the silt in the river bed, he didn't see even a single drop of water!

This god is really evil!

"Quick, quick, what do you see in the middle of the river?"

The three of them saw a huge stone slab exposed in the middle of the river bed. This stone slab was carved with some strange patterns, and the edges of the stone slab were somewhat corroded due to the continuous washing by the flowing water in the river.

Liu San boldly went down into the river, stepped on the mud in the river to the edge of the stone slab, and looked closely, but there were several large characters on the stone slab.

"Is there something carved on this slate?"

When the two people on the shore heard this, they immediately went down into the river.

"What is this writing? We don't even know the word, why don't I go find the village chief?"

One of them was about to run to the shore, but Liu San suddenly said: "At this moment, the dragon is in the abyss, and it will rise for nine days! This, this is a miracle bestowed by God!"

Recently, when children in Beijing are playing on the streets, they always sing a few nursery rhymes: "Now there is Xishan Village, the gods come to manifest their spirits, and the dragons come out in the Ming Dynasty, soaring to the nine heavens!"

In the teahouse, the storyteller was talking plausibly about the scene of the river being cut off in Xishan Village: "...It is said that Liu San could also read a few words when he was a tenant in a big family. I saw him staring carefully, hey! The eight big characters in the letter... "

Overnight, rumors arose in Beijing that the third prince was the future real dragon emperor!

In the palace, Emperor Yuan Jia was listening to the report of the secret guard with a dark face.

"You mean that the words were really engraved on the slate?"

The person kneeling at the bottom nodded, "My subordinates have checked the people from Xishan Village who found the stone slabs, and there is nothing wrong with them!"

Emperor Yuan Jia asked: "The third prince heard the rumors, but how?"

The dark guard reported: "Last night, the third prince held a big banquet in the mansion, and someone at the banquet heard that the third prince was drunk and called himself Zhen!..."

The dark guard reported the truth to Emperor Yuanjia.

"Bastard, Nizi! He dared to be so arrogant before I gave it to him. If he really became the emperor, would he kill me the next moment?...Hmph, Qianlong is in the abyss, what a Qianlong In Yuan, I have underestimated this son, after all, he is the son of a slut, and after all, he will embarrass you!"

Emperor Yuan Jia actually brought out the third prince's biological mother and scolded him once!

Emperor Yuan Jia really wanted to give the throne to the third prince. The third prince has no foresight. Even if he takes the throne, he is just a puppet in his hands. The world is not what he says and what he says!

I don't know if this son is the real man of destiny?

Seeing that Emperor Yuanjia was in a hurry, Eunuch Li hurried forward to comfort him: "Saint, saint, don't get angry! The imperial doctor said that you need to calm down and take good care of your body!"

Emperor Yuan Jia asked again: "How is the Fourth Prince doing now?"

The dark guard replied: "The fourth prince is still planting flowers and walking birds as before, but the doormen persuaded him to make progress, but the fourth prince sent him away!"

Yuan Jia's mood improved slightly after hearing this.

"He has a leisurely mind. I saw that he has lost a lot when he entered the palace before! Li Fang, pass on my order to let the fourth prince copy the scriptures in the mansion to pray for the people. As for the rebellious son, hmph, let him Go to Taimiao to pray for rain on my behalf!"

Eunuch Li was suspicious in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he quickly responded and went to deliver the decree without mentioning it!

The emperor's heart is unpredictable, and he is talking about Emperor Yuanjia.

Not to mention how surprised the third prince and party were when they received the decree, and how depressed the fourth prince and party were, but only a few days after the third prince prayed for the Yuanjia Emperor Taimiao, God really poured down There was a thunderstorm, and the dead river near Huangzhuang in Xishan Village filled up again at some point.

All of a sudden, there were rumors that the third prince was the future true son, and there was an uproar!

Time soon came to the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet.

Emperor Yuanjia sat in the first seat and looked at the group of princes, grandchildren and royal family members below. Because today was a family banquet in the palace, Emperor Yuanjia asked them to be more casual, and the clan members below began to chat with each other. Among them, the clan members surrounded by the third prince were the most.

Emperor Yuan Jia, who was sitting on the dragon chair, seemed to be in a very happy mood. He secretly took note of the family members who surrounded the third prince, and seeing the fourth prince sitting alone, he sighed in his heart.

The fourth child, at this time, didn't take the initiative to make friends with the clan, but he was still as unkind as before!

He winked quietly at Eunuch Li who was standing behind him, and said, "On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, the flowers are full and the moon is full, the jade dew is cool, and the sweet osmanthus is fragrant! Taking advantage of the beautiful scenery on this beautiful day, I also have something to announce, Li Fang, read it! "

Eunuch Li, who was standing behind him, took a step forward, took out a bright yellow imperial decree from his sleeve, and read to those who attacked him: "The sage has an decree, everyone listens to it!"

The princes and relatives at the bottom hurriedly knelt down according to their seniority and inferiority. The third prince who was kneeling in front was full of vigor, and his kneeling position was closer to that of the other princes. Although he was kneeling on the ground, his body was excited Trembling slightly, it was obvious that he knew what Emperor Yuan Jia wanted to promulgate.

"By God's fortune, the emperor's decree said... I am now sixty years old, and I have been on the throne for more than 46 years. Since I was in Yuji, although I dare not claim to be able to change customs and make people satisfied... I am not lazy, and now I have the fourth emperor. My son, Yan Qing, has a noble character, deeply respects me, and will surely be able to inherit the great rule. Follow me to the throne, that is, the emperor's throne!"

As soon as Li Fang's edict was announced, there was a complete silence, and it was only after a while that Prince Zhongshun was the first to express his opinion: "I wait for the edict!"

Seeing that this usually ignorant younger brother was the first to agree, Emperor Yuan Jia nodded in satisfaction.

At this time the third prince was already limp on the ground, Emperor Yuan Jia gave him a disgusted look, and then turned his gaze to the fourth prince.

The fourth prince took the imperial decree from Eunuch Li, and knelt down in front of Emperor Yuanjia again. His eyes were red, and he looked at Emperor Yuanjia with admiration: "How can my son be able to make my father look at you differently?

Emperor Yuan Jia was very satisfied with his performance, he helped the fourth prince, turned his head to the crowd and said: "The fourth prince has a dignified character and is very popular with me. The Ministry of Rites will start arranging the enthronement ceremony for the fourth prince!"
