For the emperor

Cang Jinglan lazily sat on the pure gold dragon chair in the middle of the high platform of the Panglong Hall, his peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes were deep. The mountain of memorials before him disappeared, replaced by two thin memorials, silver-gray The one on the left is on the left, and the one on the khaki is on the right.

Cang Tianci knelt in the main hall, even though it was early spring, his forehead was still covered with fine beads of sweat, since noon till now, he had knelt motionless for two hours, Emperor Jing punished his subjects like a warning, as This is the first time he has experienced the most favored son of heaven.

"Do you know what's wrong with you?" After letting him hang out for long enough, Emperor Jing casually opened the memorial on the left. Cang Tiansu's handwriting is leaning towards the willow style, which is beautiful and graceful, crisp and straight. Show the slightest military horse killing spirit.

There were only about twenty names on the memorial, and the name of the former champion "Wang Yan" was written on the top of the left-hand seat. Emperor Jing sneered, threw the memorial aside, and picked up another one. I wrote more than half a hundred names of people, and each of them was selected as a scholar who was famous in the government and the public.

He read the two lists again, and there was no answer below. Emperor Jing raised his eyelids and raised his eyebrows with interest: "Why, do you think I have wronged you?"

"I don't dare." Cang Tianci squeezed out a sentence for a long time, with a little bit of injustice remaining between his brows.

The affairs of the prison country were messed up. Chun Wei put in a lot of hard work, put in [-]% of his efforts, made a lot of choices, and thought over and over again. After several months of hard work, his father gave him a light sentence. It was completely denied, and the most important matter related to the country and the country, such as the selection of scholars in Chunwei, was finally handed over to a young champion in his early twenties. In any case, it was too hasty.

"Forget it, you go down." Cang Jinglan condescendingly threw the two memorials at his feet, and waved his hands in a disinterested manner.

He watched Cang Tianci grow up since he was a child. If Cang Jingdi still had some kindness remaining in his heart as a father, then the object of his emotional pouring was on Cang Tianci.

Emperor Jing really loves him a lot. After more than ten years of raising a dog, he can develop feelings for him. Facing his clever, obedient and sensible relatives, Emperor Cang Jing's heart is not really like a stone. Godsend, there really is some expectation.

What a pity, what a pity.Emperor Jing withdrew his gaze, ignored Cang Tianci's hesitant appearance, and called Li Quan who was waiting outside with his neck curled up, and asked him to send him out.

The four great aristocratic families in Kyoto are united in the same spirit. Taking advantage of the fact that the Liu family, the relatives of the ruling and opposition parties, has been neglected recently, there is a faint tendency to rise. In order to prevent them from seizing power and becoming the second Liu family, it is natural to consciously reduce The power in the hands of the family.

The chief examiner selected by Cang Tianci is the head of the Zhang family, the head of the four great families, and he has served as the examiner for three consecutive terms. If he is allowed to dominate this term, the disciples of the emperor will be changed to students of the Zhang family.

Such a huge shortcoming appeared a long time ago. The heavens gave him no understanding of politics. No matter how persuasive and subtly persuasive Cang Jinglan was, he would never be able to learn the most basic trade-offs that an emperor should master.

Li Mi's ignorance of politics is not inferior to Cang Tianci, but the Cang Tiansu he taught is just the opposite. After Duan De's death, he divided and promoted the Northwest Army, which already has the shadow of a company's checks and balances.

In Cang Tiansu's eyes, the tricks that Cang Tianci would never be able to learn are just like the glass beads used to play when he was a child, which can be seen through at a glance, clear and clear, without impurities.

The unique qualities of the Cang family flowed along with the blood that belonged to his father's generation in his body, melted into the flesh and inscribed into the bones, taking power is like eating and sleeping, as simple as instinct, such an arrogant and supercilious Emperor Jing, Looking at Xiaosi's secret report at that time, there was still a sense of shock and awe.From just a few words, he can already see that a dazzling emperor star is slowly rising. This is a born emperor embryo with a bright head and a bright future.

It's a pity that this wonderful son hates him.

Emperor Jing's lazy and charming facial features froze slightly, as if someone had thrown a red bayberry in his heart, bursts of sourness hit him, converging into crisp and numb shudders at the ends of his hair.

This is a very novel feeling. The emotions surging in his heart recently made him feel a strange stimulation. Emperor Jing could feel that every cell in his body was eager to move and try.

Cang Jinglan does everything as he pleases, he never cares about the laws of nature, morality, fairness and justice, but likes to guide everything in the direction he is interested in.

He never minds making the water more and more muddy, even if moths jump into the fire and burn himself, as long as he himself plays happily and is self-sufficient, he doesn't care about any disastrous consequences.

Since returning from fleeing from Chengguo, every time he faced Cang Tiansu, he felt a strange feeling brewing and fermenting in his heart. This unprecedented strange feeling naturally aroused his deep interest.

The voice of Li Quan reporting something came from outside, and Cang Jinglan, whose train of thought was interrupted, closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his narrow, long and deep peach eyes were calm and full of brilliance and indifference: "Come in."

Li Quan looked into his eyes full of deep meaning. After decades of getting along, he could naturally feel the slight displeasure of the emperor. He had scolded the person who caused the trouble thousands of times in his heart. However, this matter is also very important and cannot be delayed. , had no choice but to say cautiously: "Report to the emperor, the third prince fell into the water."

Just fell into the water, and it's not really drowned, so it's worth running to tell me about something serious?Cang Jinglan nodded deeply: "Boss Xuan entered the palace."

Li Quan was stunned for a moment, he didn't say anything yet, why did the emperor see clearly, and at a glance, the third prince insisted that it was the eldest prince who pushed him into the water?

He was a little surprised, seeing that Emperor Jing's brows had already frowned, he hurriedly lowered his head to cover up his gaffe, and respectfully agreed: "The slave obeys the order."

Cang Tiansu had just returned to the Prince's Mansion at this time, and the stool was not yet hot, and he was called to the palace again. After eating dinner with Emperor Jing without knowing the taste, he rubbed his aching stomach and went back. house.

Emperor Jing had been absent-minded and unable to concentrate at night, and Cang Tiansu was naturally not stupid enough to take the initiative to mention this matter. After a meal, the matter of Cang Tianrui falling into the water was ignored so lightly, and was never mentioned again.

From winter to spring, and from spring to summer solstice, Cang Tiansu's coming-of-age ceremony was officially put on the agenda, but the Ministry of Rituals had a difficult time choosing who to host the ceremony for him.

According to the custom of the folk crown ceremony, the father or elder brother presides over the coming-of-age ceremony in the ancestral temple.

However, the situation of the Cang family is quite special. The succession of the throne of the Cang Kingdom has always adopted the law of the survival of the fittest, which is different from the Yue Kingdom, which has always been the eldest son inheritance system. The Cang family has weak family ties, and the emperor has no interest and energy. Every son holds a crowning ceremony, and whether to do it or not involves some subtle things that everyone tacitly understands.

Therefore, the Cang family has always had an unwritten rule that among the princes of each generation, the grandparents or uncles preside over the coming-of-age ceremonies for the eldest princes, and in the future all princes will be presided over by the elder princes, and the emperor will not intervene in the whole process.

It was fine, everyone followed the usual practice, but it was a bit embarrassing for Cang Tiansu, not to mention that his biological mother, Yan Ji, was sold to human traffickers since he was a child, and he didn't even know his own. Where are the parents, their surnames, even if they know, there is no reason for the majestic Royal Tianxuan to let the father of a prostitute preside over the coming-of-age ceremony.

Well, yes, that’s right, although Cang Tiansu is the son of a prostitute to put it bluntly, but half of his body belongs to the most noble blood of the royal family. The coming-of-age ceremony is the most important thing. None are eligible to intervene.

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites was so anxious that his forehead was sweating, he didn't close his eyes for several days, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and gave the emperor a note, asking what should be done.

The next day, Emperor Jing called him over while grabbing the booklet, with a slightly displeased expression on his face: "This kind of trivial matter still requires me to give you eyes, and I raise a group of people with [-] taels of silver every year. pig?"

The emperor seemed to be in a bad mood today. The cold sweat on the forehead of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites immediately rolled down. The sinful minister has already thought of a solution, and there are countless clan and royal relatives, so he can choose a suitable person to perform this duty!"

Emperor Cang Jing was aroused a little bit of interest, with a smile that was not a smile, lazy and elegant: "Oh, this is a way, do you have any suggestions?"

Minister of Rites, who was still immersed in the joy of escaping catastrophe just now, wished he could slap himself a few times, this question really stumped him.

Dealing with this gang of dignitaries every day, it's not like he doesn't know the virtues of each of the Cang family's clan members. There were really not many, his brain was empty in a hurry, and he couldn't figure it out.

It's no wonder that the royal family members are not up to date, they really can't, the Cang family has a suspicious and suspicious nature in their bones, and even brothers have to kill them all, not to mention that these blood ties are already thin, once they need to do something It is merciless and careless.

When the people around you are fat, big-eared idiots, you refuse to eat and sleep and eat honestly. If you insist on ignorant of what is good and bad and go out of your way, you will only be greeted by sharp butcher knives .

Thousands of faces flashed through my mind, the silence was a bit long, it was really disrespectful to make the emperor wait, the Minister of Rites knew that he couldn't delay any longer, so he bit the bullet and said something that in his opinion was just enough. Candidate: "I believe that General Duan Yu, the son-in-law of the eldest princess, has a good character, outstanding talents, and a deep friendship with the eldest prince. He is really the best candidate..."

I don't know what the emperor thinks about this method, he couldn't help but lift his eyelids after he finished speaking, he was immediately frightened to death, Emperor Jing seemed frightened and angry, with a hideous expression on his face.

Cang Jinglan took a deep breath, and swept all the memorials piled up on several cases to the ground. A teacup was smashed right on his forehead, and with a crisp moan, it shattered into several petals, and blood flowed down His forehead gurgled.

The chill spread to the ends of the hair along the tail. The Minister of Rites ignored the pain and kowtowed to plead guilty: "I deserve to die, I deserve to die, I beg the emperor to spare my life, I beg the emperor to spare my life—" The ceramic slag on the ground was scraped again and again Seeing the wound is not as good as the great fear that pervades the heart.

"Drag it on, hit fifty big boards again!" The anger in his heart was like an erupting volcano, his rationality was retreating steadily, and there was not much left. Emperor Jing took a deep breath, but still couldn't hold it back, he walked forward and gave it viciously. He kicked, and the pointed corners of the gilded black-soled imperial boots were knocking on Shang Shu's bleeding wound.

Emperor Jing is also a person who is skilled in bowing and horses. At this time, he kicked over with all his strength. The Minister of Rites was kicked aside, vomiting blood. The two guards of Pang Longdian who originally wanted to come forward to pull him down for execution saw that the emperor was still very angry. , immediately and cautiously stopped.

Sure enough, Cang Jinglan didn't feel relieved, stepped on several times in a row, smashed two Longquan Doucai porcelain vases, and then waved with disgust to signal the guards to hold on.

Without any hesitation, the two guards stepped forward quickly, one of them dragged the unlucky guy who made Long Yan furious, and quickly exited the hall.

Miserable, really miserable, the dignified minister of the Ministry of Rituals was beaten to the point of death, and now there are still fifty big boards waiting for him.I don't know if this one can survive.

The two guards did not forget to close the door when they left. Emperor Jing slumped down on the dragon chair with heavy breathing, and hit the heavy sandalwood desk with his fist. The skin and flesh at the joints were all open, and blood spattered out, falling on the outside of the table. Convex bright red round spots.
