The emperor responded lightly, and ordered: "Let them come in."

"Cha!" Eunuch Wang hurriedly backed out.

The prince walked in first, followed by several princes.

"My son sees my father."

"Come on, it's rare for you brothers to be together, what's the matter?" the emperor said with a half-smile, his calm tone could not detect any emotion.

The prince's complexion sank, and he recovered in an instant. The faint fine lines at the corners of his eyes showed that he was no longer young, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground: "I apologize to my father."

"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows and glanced at the princes: "What is the prince's crime?"

As his voice fell, before the prince had time to answer, the fifth prince stood up immediately: "I want to tell my father, Daming has suffered a severe drought this year, and the silver taels sent by the imperial court to relieve the disaster actually went into the prince's pocket."

Daming, the emperor frowned, Li Qing's family would really find trouble for him, and Daming seemed to be under the prefect's jurisdiction.

"I was wronged, and I really don't know about the embezzlement of disaster relief money." The prince looked sad, and he knew how to impress the emperor.

"If you say you don't know, you don't know? Yan Zhengrong is your own uncle, and the prince is not afraid of talking out loud." The five princes fought against each other, with sharp words, and finally found Lord Yan's trick, how could he let it go easily.

"You..." The prince stared angrily, his heart was burning with anger. Today he just received the news that the fifth younger brother took the blame on his uncle, so he rushed to see the emperor in front of the fifth younger brother, but it was a pity that he was still a step late.

"Okay." The emperor interrupted their argument, and stared at the fifth prince indifferently: "What's going on, tell me."

"I want to report to my father, I heard that Mr. Gu is upright and upright, and I want to check his political achievements. Who would have thought that a major corruption case would be found out. Since the time is not long, the clues have not been smoothed out. My father, please Look." The fifth prince said, and respectfully presented two memorials.

The emperor's face was ugly, and his dark eyes were unpredictable. In the emperor's mind, his son was not wrong, and even if he was wrong, he was taught to be bad by the Yan family.

The prince hated secretly in his heart, and blamed Li Yaonan for not mentioning the magistrate, which made them caught off guard, and hurriedly kowtowed: "I want to report to my father, Mr. Yan is loyal, there must be a villain, my son. I came here today to plead guilty, and I also asked my father to give my son time to find out the truth."

"The evidence is solid, all the money has gone into your pocket, how do you want to find out?" The fifth prince was full of sarcasm, not hiding the gloating on his face.

The crown prince refused to give an inch, and retorted firmly: "Father, I dare not plead for Lord Yan, but I will never allow others to slander me. My son asks himself to work hard. The people are the foundation of the Great Jin. My son has been taught by you since he was a child. Dare to do something that endangers the common people, the fifth younger brother is talking nonsense and telling lies, and asked the father to make decisions for his son."

The fifth prince's expression changed, and he had reached this point. Unexpectedly, the prince would dare to deny it, and even pulled himself on the back, saying indiscriminately: "Father, the prince has ulterior motives, and it is difficult to be a big responsibility if he is not kind."

The prince's eyes flashed, and the expression on his face instantly turned into righteous indignation, as if he had been greatly wronged.

The emperor's face became gloomy, and his cold tone lacked any warmth: "The crown prince is unbearable, who is suitable?"

The fifth prince was startled and angry, breaking out in a cold sweat: "Father makes atonement, my son is just in a moment of urgency." At this moment, he didn't understand that the prince was deliberately provoking him.

"If you are in a hurry, you can slander your elder brother, and if you are in a hurry, you can slander the prince. I am not dead yet." The emperor was furious, and shouted: "Go back and meditate behind closed doors."

"Father..." The fifth prince opened his mouth, wanting to refute something, but under the emperor's thunder and wrath, after all, only a sad face remained. The father has always been like this. The evidence of the crime, the father is still biased, why.

The hatred between the fifth prince and the prince has reached the point of endless death.

The emperor rubbed his temples wearily, and looked coldly at the different expressions of his sons. A feeling of powerlessness came to his heart. He didn't know how long he could endure.

"Father, calm down." The sixth prince urged hastily, his eyes full of concern.

The Seventh Prince was not to be outdone, and echoed: "Father, calm down, Brother Fifth is also dedicated to serving the people, it must not be intentional."

The emperor said indifferently, "What do you have to do?" It was indeed a coincidence that several princes came to the imperial study together to seek an audience.

The sixth prince's heart trembled, he lowered his eyes slightly, and said respectfully: "I will report to my father, my son is nothing serious, today I was to announce the good news to you, my son has another heir, please give me a name from my father."

The seventh prince is not stupid, he changed his mind for a while, and immediately put aside the relationship, he came to the imperial study room to seek an audience, he must have nothing to do with the fifth emperor brother, and said with a smile: "Father, after listening to Master Li's remarks, I deeply feel that It's reasonable, but the father's eyes are as bright as a torch, and he saw the pillars of the court early on. In the past, there was a water shortage in the East River, and Mr. You opened a warehouse to release grain without authorization. This violated the laws of the Jin Dynasty. Who would have thought that the emperor gave grace outside the law, not only did the You family not appreciate it, but they even instigated the people to make a plea from all the people, which will set the laws of the Jin Dynasty and where, Master Li's words hit the nail on the head."

The emperor's complexion is a little slow, isn't it?What Li Qing's family said about Mr. You really won the sacred heart. Is it possible to disregard the laws of the country just because they are dedicated to serving the people?

As for the rhetoric of raising food and grass from rich households, although the emperor doesn't quite agree with it, deep down in his heart he doesn't think it makes sense. Facing the empty treasury, what the emperor hates the most is actually those businessmen who are rich and unkind, just as the king of a country , he knew even more in his heart that he had no right to be self-willed. No matter how unbearable a businessman was, he was still a citizen of the Great Jin Dynasty, driving the economic operation of the Great Jin Dynasty.

The pride in the Seventh Prince's eyes flashed, and he flattered his father rightly.

However, he was not happy for long, who could guess what the emperor was thinking, how could the emperor not know about the small actions of his sons, no matter how good and filial they were, it was not because of the cockroach under his ass Chair.

"Okay, I get it, you guys go down." The emperor said lightly, but held the memorial requested by the fifth prince in his hand and refused to send it.

Several princes resigned one after another and left the imperial study. The prince's face was gloomy, and he did not feel the joy of victory.He knew the emperor's temper best. If the emperor got angry and dealt with the matter now, there might be room for relaxation in the future. This situation is the worst outcome.

The fifth prince felt at ease, even if he was grounded by his father, as long as he could pull the prince off his horse, he thought everything would be worth it. He glanced coldly at the sixth and seventh princes, never realizing so clearly that perhaps his greatest rivals should be the two of them. indivual.

The sixth prince smiled coldly, he didn't care about the look in the eyes of the fifth prince at all, for a big-headed and brainless guy, even if the father was blind, it would not be his turn to succeed him.

The Seventh Prince curled his lips, looking down on the two elder brothers, the Fifth Brother is impulsive, and the Sixth Brother has exhausted all the tricks, and he has the best chance of winning after counting. Live, and put on the demeanor of a corporal.

The viciousness in the prince's eyes flashed away. He used to be full of respect for his father, and he wanted to be a good prince, but as his younger brothers grew up one by one, everything changed. He was no longer his father. Beloved prince, his younger brothers have fallen into the eyes of his father, and at this point, he has no way out, he will be benevolent if he fails, everything is forced by his father...

The emperor's complexion was very bad, and he stared blankly at the memorial in a daze. The crown prince was brought up by himself, so the feelings were naturally extraordinary, but in the current situation, the crown prince was obviously not suitable for his position.

"Father, you have to take care of the dragon's body, why don't you listen to the prince's brother's explanation." The twelfth prince said with concern, the worry on his little face was evident.

The emperor was taken aback for a moment, only to realize that the three young sons hadn't left yet.

"Father, father, don't be angry, my son must be filial to you. Today, the mother and concubine prepared sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, and the son will share more than half of it with you." The sixteenth prince acted coquettishly and looked at the emperor with a flattering expression.

The thirteenth prince snorted disdainfully. A few years ago, Shiliu used this trick to help his mother and concubine compete for favor. Now that he is ten years old, he still pretends to be a child. It is not shameful.

The twelfth prince glanced at him warningly, and the thirteenth prince immediately put on a smiling face: "Father, don't be angry, my son must memorize "The Great Harmony of Li Yun" well tomorrow."

The twelve princes rubbed their foreheads, he might as well not talk, if he remembered "Li Yun Da Tong" well, the seventeenth brother who is now eight years old has already memorized it by heart.

The emperor's face darkened, and his heart immediately became angry: "You still have the nerve to say it."

The thirteenth prince was stupefied, deeply feeling that he was not compatible with his father, and whispered: "There is something wrong with expressing self-motivation."

The emperor was so angry that he blew his beard and stared. The older son was worried, and the younger son was also worried, but the depression in his heart dissipated a lot.

The sixteenth prince said proudly: "Brother Thirteen, what you said is wrong. My younger brother has already learned the sixth chapter of the Analects of Confucius, Yong Ye. Why is your study progress the same as that of the Seventeenth Brother?"

The thirteenth prince gritted his teeth, showed his small but strong arms, and said disdainfully: "What's the use of just reading, if you have the ability, let's compete in riding and shooting."

The sixteenth prince was choked, and the thirteenth prince was outstanding in riding and shooting, so he was stupid to compare with him, and retorted: "If you have the ability, let's compare knowledge."

"Compared to riding and shooting."

"Compared with knowledge."

"Compared to riding and shooting."

"Okay, you two shut up." The emperor was both angry and funny, and he didn't have much taboo against the fight between the young princes in his heart. This is the performance of a child, and it made him feel the joy of raising a son. pleasure.

The two princes stopped talking immediately, and their eyes were fixed on the emperor.

Facing his son, he must be majestic. The emperor said with a straight face: "You have to check your riding and archery knowledge. I will give you a month. If you win, you will have a lot of money."

The sixteenth prince was full of confidence: "My son will live up to my father's expectations."

The thirteenth prince rolled his eyes: "What kind of prize."

The emperor was amused by him, and said a few words lightly: "If you lose, you will be punished by copying the Analects ten times."

The thirteenth prince screamed, as expected, he would not die if he did not act.

The emperor expressed that he was in a happy mood, bullying his son and so on really felt a sense of accomplishment, and thought for a while: "The next time Li Qing's family gives a lecture, you should go and see it too."

"Yes!" The three princes replied with smiles, Thirteenth and Sixteenth were even more excited, and finally had the opportunity to leave the palace.

The Twelve Princes were delighted, they had heard of Li Yaonan's name a long time ago, but it was a pity that they didn't have the chance to meet him, and he would definitely not miss the lecture next time.

The emperor was amused in his heart, and he felt a little warmth. A child is a child, and his anger and joy were displayed on his face. He continued: "If you are asked to be a teacher, who would be willing?"

The thirteenth prince immediately jumped up and hid far away, begging his master, please forgive him, he doesn't want to learn anything.

The sixteenth prince looked hesitant, hesitated for a moment and said: "I think Master Ye is very good."

The emperor raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Do you want to worship him as your teacher?"

The sixteenth prince nodded firmly, carefully hiding his thoughts.

The emperor didn't think much about it. Ye Aiqing was very knowledgeable, and it was reasonable for his son to want to worship him as his teacher. However, there is a problem with the university scholars. If it wasn't for the disciples he personally valued, Ye Aiqing would be dissatisfied even if he made the imperial decree : "As long as Ye Aiqing nods, I will allow you."

"Thank you, father." The sixteenth prince had a pleasant look on his face, his eyes sparkled. In his opinion, he was a prince, and Mr. Ye would definitely not refuse.

The twelfth prince didn't think so. Although the sixteenth was precocious, he was still too young. How could it be so easy for Master Ye to win him over? Don't you see that the prince and his brothers were all shut out.

"What about you?" The emperor looked at the twelfth prince, feeling extremely satisfied. This son is getting more and more calm, and he has a brotherly demeanor when facing his younger brother. Given time, he will definitely be cultivated into a virtuous king.

"My son would like to worship the general secretary as a teacher." The goal of the twelve princes was very clear. If he had to learn a teacher, he would choose the most inconspicuous one.After a while, he will be on an errand, if he gets in the way of the emperor, he is afraid that he will die before he leaves the teacher. Lord Li's status is just right, since he is a minister close to the emperor, he can be dreaded, and he doesn't have a deep background, so he won't It's too defensive.

Of course, there is the most important point, he is very optimistic about Master Li's future, whether it is Master Li's political achievements in Yunnan, or his style of conduct, the Twelfth Prince admires him very much, and he is willing to worship him as a teacher.

The thirteenth prince was in a hurry. Seeing his father looking over, he hurriedly said, "I'm the same as the twelveth brother."

The emperor frowned, and didn't bother to care about this useless son, but it would be good if he followed Twelve, so that no one could control him. As for whether Li Yaonan would agree to accept him as an apprentice, the emperor said that it was not a problem at all.

The gap between people is really big, the emperor will never forcibly issue an order in front of Mr. Ye, Li Yaonan will cry...

But at this moment, he still doesn't know anything, and is happy to accompany his husband to educate his son.

The emperor was not in a hurry, he had to ask his sons to get in touch with the teacher first before making a conclusion, he ordered them not to spread the news, and then he went to Concubine Hui with the sixteenth prince There.

The thirteenth prince was not convinced, but the sixteenth brother actually abducted his father.

The twelve princes didn't take it seriously, the father was a wise king, so where to spend the night would not affect any situation in the court.
