"During the 15th year of Daqian, the famous Lan family was invited by Dagan Shigong to settle in Dagan Shangjing. During this period, he worked diligently to testify to the famous master's academics. In the name of distinguishing the truth, seeking truth, and appraising the truth, he was active in various places in Dagan."

"In the 25th year of Daqian, when the Lan family settled in Dagan for 10 years, on the day Dagan canonized the prince, he argued with others about the royal lineage in the market, and because of his words, he was offended by the king. 28 members of the Lan family were sentenced to beheaded." ..."

"The Lan family is a saint's disciple. According to the conventions of various countries or the general law, if a saint's disciple is convicted of a crime because of his words, he can be reprimanded or expelled, but he cannot be punished by the criminal law..."

"But because of a moment of anger, the king, regardless of everyone's dissuasion, beheaded the whole family of the Lan family, leaving the academics of famous schools in the dust and disappearing into the theories of a hundred schools of thought. The holy way does not exist..."

"Now... Now that the famous family has passed on, Lan Ruoyun of the Lan family has grown up. I beg... I implore the king to re-judgment the case and avenge the Lan family."

Lan Ruoyun's voice was a little choked up, and his voice trembled badly. He had waited too long for this day, and it was too long for Lan's family to stay in the dark forever.

After so many years, it seems like it was just yesterday that the imperial decree that beheaded all the families was introduced to the Lan family.

Overnight, the famed and famous scholars who were famous all over the world were cut off.

Your Majesty's expression is extremely pale, Master?The famous saints who were destroyed by him actually stood in front of him again after many years.

He originally thought that there were no famous masters in the world, but he didn't expect that the other party was always under his nose, and he had to be so blind to see clearly.

What he thought was a treasure left in the sea turned out to be the "dead soul" of his subordinates...

"Why?"

Why are dead people still alive until now?

Lan Ruoyun's voice continued, "Lan Ruoyun was raised by the queen mother, grew up, and has been by the king's side all the time, serving as a surrogate for the crime, hoping to redeem the crime of lying when the famous masters preached... "

The king looked at the Queen Mother Zhaosheng, "Lan Ruoyun was brought up by the Queen Mother?"

"Funny, funny, really ridiculous!"

He also thought that among ten thousand people, he had a unique eye for discovering a talent, like the most primitive jade in the rough, which he polished bit by bit into the most dazzling pearl, and cultivated a useful person for Daqian , but did not expect that this uncut jade is the most dazzling existence in the world, but it is covered by dust, and the dust is still scattered by oneself.

He brushed away the dust he had scattered, and he was still complacent. In the eyes of others, what was he?A complete joke from beginning to end.

The voice of the Empress Dowager Zhao Sheng sounded, "The Lan family was desperate back then, and Lan Ruoyun stopped in front of my car frame at the age of a child... At that time, the king insisted on going his own way, and did not listen to anyone's advice. In order to make up for the fault of the king, the Lan family cannot be killed, but in order to take care of the king's face, the Lan family cannot exist either. Therefore, from then on, the Lan family, which was passed down from the famous family, has been hidden in the market since then. Academics never see the light of day..."

The king smiled, and the smile was incomparably miserable, "Is it another matter of my mother doing my aftermath?"

Just like those self-righteous piles of credit.

"I just don't know whether it was Lan Ruoyun who stopped the rear mother's frame, or whether the mother was deliberately waiting there for the Lan family, and was already prepared to give them a way out."

The Empress Dowager Zhao Sheng sighed, "In order to atone for the crime of lying in the past, the disciples of the dignified sages, the heirs of the noble and famous families have become my spy chiefs. They are full of stigma and will never see their identity..."

"The famous family has also disappeared in front of the world for so many years. No matter how big the fault was, it has been redeemed. Your Majesty, it is time to give them justice for the grievances of the Lan family back then, and it is also time to give an account to the saints and disciples of the world. .”

If the king personally cleans up the grievances of the Lan family, let the famous academics reappear, and let the world know that he did not destroy the holy way of the famous.

With the attitude shown by the king to let go of such a big face and admit his mistakes, the disciples of the holy way will naturally consider bringing their academics back to work again.

This is a back road left by the Queen Mother Zhaosheng for the king's move, and it is finally time to use it.

And the academy of the Holy Way entered Dagan again, which means that Qi Zheng won the final prince's competition.

But is it really possible to make someone like the King feel guilty?

The Empress Dowager Zhao Sheng said, "Your Majesty, don't make mistakes again and again and be obsessed with obsession."

Your Majesty's mentality is a bit broken now, or anyone's life will collapse after being denied.

"My lord, at least... At least this last thing is done by you yourself, for Dagan to usher in the sage academics again, for me to open up the wisdom of the people, to enlighten the wisdom of the people, and let me go on the right path... "

This is the last chance for a person who has failed all his life to redeem himself, although this decision is indeed a bit difficult.

The king was in a trance. The blow was too great. Another person might not be able to bear it. He muttered to himself, "Finally...is there something I can do by myself?"

"Mother, if he hadn't died in battle back then, he would have definitely become a truly sage king, not a failure like me... Any glamor is just a beautiful coat that conceals people's eyes. After so many years, I am still not as good as you. He is still so cowardly that he hasn't changed a bit, and in the end he even dared not admit his own cowardice."

Zhaosheng Empress Dowager, "At least in the end, you still have a chance to prove that you are a king who dares to admit mistakes, and he doesn't even have a chance to prove himself..."

I don't know how long it took before the king opened his mouth, "It seems that I have no choice. The queen mother revealed everything today. With the queen mother's temper, I am afraid that she has made the worst plan."

"As for me, I must either be a king who admits mistakes and still keep my glamorous appearance, or... I am afraid that I will be recorded in the annals of history and bear the name of stupidity through the ages."

With his reputation-loving temperament, how could he have other options in order to save the last bit of poor face.

The Empress Dowager Zhaosheng was silent, she didn't know what to say.

The whole bedroom was quiet, except for the sound of the king's indescribable breathing. After an unknown period of time, the king seemed to be extremely weak, "Perhaps... it would be good if I can do one thing right in my life, at least I won't see him , there is not even a single thing that can be mentioned in front of him."

He promised his mother that he would live and die for Dagan, but he failed to do so.

Then he will do what he promised to another person, although this is his only choice.

The king was in a trance, as if he saw a tall figure hiding a cowardly young prince in the grass in the face of endless pursuers, "My brother, if... if I die, take care of my son for me!" Son, treat him like your own son, you don’t have to give him this big job, but please let him be safe.”

Originally, he also did as promised, adopted him under his own name, and treated him like a parent and child, but at some point, his eyes were eroded by power, and this original intention was gone. Promise of.

He thought he could do a good job, and even if that person didn't die, he might not be as good as himself, but now it seems that everything is wrong.

At this time, Chen Bai was at Yunshang Academy, eating freshly made delicious food and drinking wine with Meng Huanchao.

After drinking, it is inevitable to chat, "Meng Jun, let's eat secretly, so don't be seen by those students, otherwise it will make people uneasy."

Meng Huanchao nodded with a smile, "Those students... are indeed too good to eat."

"No, every day is like a cub who can't get enough to eat."

As he was talking, Chen Bai began to babble about his worries, "Meng Jun, I have always wondered why the king has always disliked Qi Zheng?"

"Well, I can't even describe it as dislike. It can be said that it is targeted everywhere, as if I am afraid that Qi Zheng will become a prince."

"Look at the other sons of the king, which one seems to be capable of becoming a talent, but no matter what Qi Zheng does, the king seems to be invisible, and even secretly helps other princes."

"His Majesty has done this to such an extent. To be honest, it's really puzzling. It's a pity that I asked Qi Zheng once intentionally or unintentionally, but this guy didn't give me the reason."

Chen Bo himself had a lot of guesses, was it because Qi Zheng's mother was the daughter of a merchant?

But even so, no matter how displeased the king is, Qi Zheng is also the blood of the king, so it shouldn't be so embarrassing.

"In my opinion, they are not like father and son, but enemies."

Meng Huanchao was taken aback for a moment, "Are you asking me for an answer?"

Chen Bai nodded, "But even Qi Zheng, the person involved, refused to tell. How could you know the reason?"

Meng Huanchao: "..."

"This is actually a taboo thing. I'm afraid only some old people know the reason, but they dare not say too much because they are afraid of getting into trouble. Back then, the king even dared to destroy the Holy Way because of this matter. How dare they If you talk too much, just bury it in your heart like this, and now there are not many people who know the truth."

Chen Bo was stunned, "Is it related to the king's destruction of the Holy Way?"

How can this be?How old was Qi Zheng at the beginning, and he was involved in an incident where the Holy Way was destroyed?

Meng Huanchao poured Chen Bai a glass of wine, "You also think that the king's attitude towards Qi Zheng is wrong, have you ever thought that Qi Zheng might not be the king's biological son at all?"

Chen Bo trembled for a moment, and his voice raised, "What?"

"No, if Your Majesty knew that Qi Zheng was not his own son, would Qi Zheng still be alive?"

To put it this way, the king Qizheng is still kind, who is willing to raise a son for others, and raise him so big.

Meng Huanchao shook his head, "It's not what you think, Qi Zheng was later adopted under the name of the king, of course the king is clear that Qi Zheng is not his own."

"It's just that Qi Zheng's identity is a bit special. He is the only son of the former prince Zhongyong who died in the battle, and the first emperor's grandson of Daqian."

"According to the ancestral system, even if the loyal and brave prince died in battle, the grandson of Qi Zheng should be appointed as the heir. Prince Zhongyong's younger brother, King Xiang, is the current Great King acting as the acting Great King."

"It's just that the provisional kingship that was agreed upon has some problems in the later stage."

"Especially when Daqian establishes the position of the crown prince, such contradictions are extremely abrupt. Some ministers believe that the crown prince should be the first emperor's grandson Qizheng, which is justified, but other ministers think that the current position is the king. For the sake of Daqian stability , this crown prince should of course be the eldest son of the king, Jiao Jiao."

"At that time, it was just everyone discussing with each other. Even famous scholars who advocated correctness, truth-seeking, and truth-seeking also got involved on the grounds of proving the truth. The famous scholars felt that Qi Zheng had no obvious faults, but was orthodox. He should be established as the crown prince."

"These disciples of saints, the conventions of various countries are there, let them say whatever they like, just listen to their different ideas and opinions, if you don't like it, just expel them directly..."

"But in order to end this chaos, the king directly executed the famous family representing the entire Lan family by means of thunder, and told everyone his choice with such a tough attitude..."

"Your Majesty even dares to kill all disciples of saints directly, how dare other people have any opinions."

"It was also the same year that Qi Zheng was sent to the State of Zhao and served as a hostage for eight years."

"It was also in the same year that all the saint's disciples left to work, and they were unwilling to take half a step."

"..."

Chen Bo opened his mouth: "..."

The matter involved so many adult past events, and Qi Zheng's identity was so complicated.

It is precisely because of so many reasons that Chen Bai saw that no matter how good Qi Zheng is, the king will help other princes to suppress Qi Zheng regardless of the cost.

Everything is figured out.

Even Chen Bai understood the king a little bit, everyone has selfishness, the king wants his own son to be in the position, not Qi Zheng, the adoptive one, so he really can do anything.

Since the abdication system became the family inheritance system, no one has such selfishness.

As for why Qi Zheng was not slapped to death, because in name, Qi Zheng is indeed qualified to be the king of Daqian.

Chen Bo was even more distressed. If so, wouldn't it be more difficult to get Qi Zheng to take over?

Worry.

"But Meng Jun, aren't these things all rotted into the stomach, and how did you know about them?"

Meng Huan smiled, "Of course I heard it from someone."

It is true that he heard it from someone, that is to say, the identity of the person who told him is not very clear.

When Chen Bai returned to Beijing in the carriage, he was still sighing, "I didn't expect that Meng Huanchao, a confidant in the world, would gossip like this."

That's right, if Meng Huanchao didn't gossip, how could he tell so many strange stories about different countries in class?

Chen Bo seemed to have discovered some little secret, but this little secret was covered by his sighing voice.

"Whatever this is, it's not his own. I'm afraid the king is even more unwilling to make Qi Zheng the crown prince."

It's just that when we arrived in Shangjing, the whole city of Shangjing seemed to be boiling.

Chen Bo was stunned, "What happened?"

After listening carefully, Chen Bo was a little dumbfounded.

"Famous scholars reappeared."

"It turns out that Lan Jun and Lan Ruoyun are the heirs of a famous family."

"I didn't destroy the Holy Way back then, nor did I kill the entire Lan family. It's just that the famous masters changed from conspicuous learning to hidden learning, and they no longer appeared in front of people."

"Now that famous masters are out, I can be regarded as giving an explanation to the disciples of saints all over the world."

Chen Bo was so surprised that he even got out of the carriage and ran to the boiling crowd and asked, "Really?"

"Of course, the emperor's list has been posted, how could the king's own handwriting be fake?"

Chen Bo's mouth became O-shaped, and the king wrote it himself?

It is impossible for the king not to know what the result of such news will be. In other words, the disciples of the saints have no worries in their hearts, and they are likely to re-enter Dagan with the academics of the saints.

In other words, the final winner of this prince contest will be Qi Zheng.

According to what the king announced to the world earlier, Qi Zhenghui has been established as the crown prince.

"This this this..."

Chen Bo swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and quickly got into the carriage and rushed to the Qi government.

"The king is willing to return that position to Qi Zheng in the end? Then why did he do so much before? It's like it's going to rain red."

When Chen Bo went to the Qi government, Qi Zheng actually wrote there quietly.

"Are you excited?" Chen Bai couldn't help the expression on his face.

Qi Zheng raised his head and snorted, "Let's think about how to let the disciples of the saints settle in me and work hard."

Chen Bo thought, this guy is really calm.

Now the famous masters who should have been wiped out have reappeared, proving that Dagan did not destroy the Holy Way back then, and relieved the last worries in the hearts of the disciples of the saints, allowing them to re-enter Dagan, no matter how you look at it, it is a matter of high probability.

Because each school will choose a country to prove the holy way. Generally, there will be several sage schools in a country, fighting each other.

Now that there is a Dagan school that does not have any sage schools, instead of competing with each other in other countries, it is better to come to Dagan to pick up some fish that slipped through the net.

Chen Bo looked at Qi Zheng's ice face, and thought to himself, don't worry about it, anyway, he himself is bubbling with joy.

He felt that he was about to get rich soon, and he had to go sideways in this big job in the future, tsk tsk, and he didn't even look at who was behind him, but he steadfastly supported him until the end.

only……

Chen Bo asked the doubts in his heart, "It's just why the king suddenly thought about it? It can even be said that he personally admitted that the famous family has not been destroyed, which is tantamount to admitting that his decision to destroy the holy way was wrong."

How could someone as stubborn as the king be like this?

Moreover, it was learned from Meng Huanchao that the reason why famous scholars were convicted was because they believed that Qi Zheng should have been established as the heir apparent back then.

Your Majesty's admitting his mistake, isn't it one-sidedly fueling this kind of argument...

Qi Zheng's expression remained unchanged, "Because the king has no choice."

He spent his whole life in mistakes, the only last chance before him to prove himself, this kind of choice is very difficult, but at least he still chose this way in the end...

Chen Bo was a little confused by the words, his eyes rolled around, there was a story, and he said, "Do you drink?"

The wine is good, you have to spit out everything you drink.

Qi Zheng frowned, and drank again?

I don't know who drank a little last time and made a fool of himself.

Chen Bai blushed, "It was an accident last time."

This time he can hold it.

Qi Zheng snorted contemptuously, but asked someone to bring the wine.

Chen Bo was so attentive, pouring wine for Qi Zheng all the time.

Just drink and drink...

"I want to be a favorite, do you agree or not? I will walk sideways like a crab in the capital from now on."

Qi Zheng: "..."

How can anyone say that he is a favorite minister in front of him?

"Favorite" is not a good word, and they usually use some rhetoric to curry favor with the treacherous people in power.

However, the corners of Qi Zheng's mouth turned up quietly, and he didn't even notice it.

Now Qi Zheng was pouring wine for Chen Bai glass by glass. Looking at the confused Chen Bai, he suddenly asked, "Chen Zifu, who is your best friend?"

Chen Zifu had a drunken look on his face, "Best friends? There are many, such as Zhao Prince Dan, such as Zuoqiu of Lu State, such as Meng Huanchao, such as..."

Qi Zheng glanced at Chen Bai, "Is there anything else?"

Chen Bai thought for a while, then shook his head, "No more, the former classmates are all the kind of people who have made trouble, and I don't bother to make friends with them."

Qi Zheng's voice sounded a little gloomy, "Is it really gone? Chen Zifu, do you really stop thinking about it?"

Chen Bo counted with his fingers, and finally shook his head.

Then, when Chen Bai woke up, he was already in the courtyard of Tingwei Mansion.

Chen Xiaobu was holding a veil to apply to his face, when he saw Chen Bai woke up, he hurriedly said, "Brother, have you offended the prince?"

Chen Bo was taken aback, "What?"

"Brother, I heard from the servants of Tingwei's mansion that you were thrown out of the mansion by the prince's government yesterday. The prince's face was so dark at that time, and he even asked someone to tell you that you should reflect on yourself after you wake up from drinking. I don't know what to do. These are the original words of Prince Zheng at that time."

"Brother, Dad said that the prince's status is not ordinary now, so don't offend him, and you have to curry favor."

Chen Bo muttered, he has a good relationship with Qi Zheng, right?

Could it be that I provoked him by drinking with him yesterday?

Impossible, no matter how you think about it, there shouldn't be a place that can provoke the other party, it's strange.

"Prince Zhengzheng really makes me reflect on myself?"

Chen Xiaobu straightened his head, "If you don't believe me, ask the servants. At that time, they were waiting at the door in a carriage, and the prince carried you and threw you into the carriage like a kitten. I heard from those servants that at that time, the prince His face is darker than the bottom of our pot."

Chen Bo rubbed his head: "..."

How to do?

I can't remember anything.

The key is that today I have to go with Qi Zheng to lobby those disciples of the sages to settle in Dagan, to end this prince contest as soon as possible, and let the dust settle.

After washing his face and drinking some corn porridge, Chen Bai went out, first going to the residence of the Qi government.

It's just that Qi Zheng's ice cube face really can't tell what kind of mood he is in.

That's what's wrong with the ice cube face, it can't read words and expressions.

Chen Baixian opened his mouth, "If I said something that shouldn't be said yesterday, you will treat me as a drunken gibberish."

Qi Zheng snorted, "I didn't say what should be said, and said a lot of what should not be said."

Chen Bo: "..."

What do you mean?

It seems that Qi Zheng expected him to say something, but he didn't say it?

Qi Zheng had already got into the carriage first, and said without expression, "Get in the carriage."

After Chen Bai got into the carriage, Qi Zheng stopped talking again, and Chen Bai always felt that the atmosphere was very awkward.

Why?

"Well, I drank and probably forgot a lot of things. If you asked me something, I didn't answer it, which is normal."

Qi Zheng, "I don't think so, but you made it very clear."

Fortunately, he regarded the tiger as his only good friend. In the end, Chen Zifu answered for a long time, but he was the only one missing.

He is so angry that his liver hurts now.

Looking at this Chen Zifu, he wanted to rub him on the ground, and asked if his conscience had been eaten by a dog.

Chen Bo also sighed, what question did he not answer?It made Qi Zheng's arrogant little temper come up again.
