The prince arrived at Chengqian Palace where the imperial concubine lived.

This Chengqian Palace, the original body had been here several times when he was a child.Now, as soon as he stepped into Chengqian Palace, he felt stuffy, and the whole palace gave people a heavy sense of oppression.Even the flowers, plants and trees in the yard are well-groomed, as if they were dead things without a breath of life.

The servant of the Qianqing Palace hurriedly reported the news when he saw the "rare" person like the prince coming.Let the prince go to the main hall to finish, and offer hot tea to the prince.The crown prince was holding the teacup that had just arrived, and the tea was still too hot to drink, so the noble concubine was helped in.

The imperial concubine is a woman of medium height, with a slightly plump figure, a pale complexion, and an obviously forced smile.Even so, it can be seen that she is usually a very gentle person.Picturesque eyebrows, fine nose and sharp lips, people in their 30s look much younger than their actual age.A real, real, rare beauty.It is between the eyebrows, which seems to be a hidden and indescribable depression.Those beautiful eyes that are like autumn water, look and look, but also seem to be cold and cold like a thousand years of snow.

But for this person, purple is used as the keynote. The fabric of the palace dress is mixed with large, deep purple jacquard patterns, or embroidered with decorative, dark and light purple rich and noble flowers.

The prince thought to himself that purple had hints of sadness and depression. This kind of attire, combined with the character of the imperial concubine, could only make things worse.

"Mother and concubine, my father, Emperor Minggu, will tell you Chunshang's verdict."

The light purple silk handkerchief between the slender fingers was grabbed in the imperial concubine's hand with a "swish".There was even less blood on the already pale face.The imperial concubine leaned forward, but her eyes burst out with longing, looking at the prince eagerly.

"The men involved in the case of the Chen family, who are over 12 years old, will be beheaded. For the rest, the emperor will give extra favors, no matter male or female, they will stay in the eldest house of the Chen family as slaves. They will be branded and will not be pardoned."

"What did you say?"

The imperial concubine stood up from the throne and stared at the crown prince sitting not far away, "Those who are over 12 years old will be beheaded. The rest will be slaves?"

The prince nodded in confirmation.

"Your Majesty, that's it."

"Is this still an extra favor? Has the sage forgotten that he has blood from the Chen family? It's a girl from the Chen family who gave birth to him in October?"

"My concubine, if the emperor's grandmother is alive, she sees her nephews and grandnephews, giving advice to outsiders, and colluding with outsiders to bully her only son and harm her only grandson. What do you think she will do?"

"What will you do? The saint and you are both fine. Those who will be beheaded are all men from the Chen family." The noble concubine became excited.

"Mother and concubine, do you think it's your nephew? Or your son? Is it your grandnephew? Or your grandson?"

That's right, even if my aunt and the saint's biological mother are alive, they are also kissing their son.He will not hurt his nephew and grandson more than his own grandson.

Yes, it is son pro, grandson pro.She will not spare those men in the second room of the Chen family.

"But it's not enough to behead."

"Mother and concubine, how far is it to murder the crown prince and seek rebellion? The Chen family has done such a thing, and according to the law, they will destroy the three clans."

"Second brother." The imperial concubine called out, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and she fell backwards.

Several court ladies standing behind the imperial concubine's chair hurried to help the imperial concubine.Unexpectedly, the imperial concubine slammed her head and half of her body on the chair heavily.

A few court ladies supported the imperial concubine on a chair and sat back.The nurse in charge came very quickly, reaching out to pinch the imperial concubine.Seeing that the imperial concubine was in a terrible state, the prince immediately sent the servants of Chengqian Palace to invite the imperial physician.

Just as the little servant ran out of Chengqian Palace, the noble concubine woke up faintly.

"His Royal Highness?" The imperial concubine turned to look for the prince.

"My concubine, you are alone."

The noble concubine swallowed the blood in her throat that was about to vomit, her eyes were like knives, staring at the prince coldly.

"Where is Chen's parents' room?"

"Chen's parents didn't participate in this matter, and the emperor will not punish him."

Tears rolled out from the imperial concubine's tears drop by drop, rolled down her pale cheeks, jaw, into her collar, and disappeared.

"What about the Zheng family?"

"The punishment of the Zheng family is the same as that of the Chen family. For other families, their heads will be beheaded if they are over 12 years old, and the rest will be sent to the army."

The noble concubine was taken aback for a moment, then bit her lip and bowed slightly to the prince.

"The sage really did favor my mother's family. Prince, please thank the prince for my kindness."

"it is good."

The prince bowed his hands to the imperial concubine, greeted the people who served the imperial concubine, helped the imperial concubine to rest, and brought the people back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to return to life.

Concubine Hui in Changchun Palace soon got the news.She stared at the leaves in the yard outside the window, which had gradually started to turn yellow, but she was thinking about spring.The saint was finally punished, and it seemed that he was fine.She secretly rejoiced that she and the Zhenbei Hou Mansion had escaped.But he didn't know that in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the sage was discussing with Jia Daishan, who would take over the military power in the northwest and replace the Marquis of Zhenbei.

"Saint, let me take Enhou there. After a few years of training, Enhou will be able to take charge of his own affairs. As for the Beijing camp, according to the saint, who is suitable for it?"

"Old Jia, if you are not injured, I will send you there without you saying anything. If you look like this, once your old illness recurs, the past ten years will be in vain."

"Otherwise, who can go to the north? King Jing's military power was taken back with great difficulty. How about the Hu family? The Niu family? The old minister is afraid that they won't be able to afford it."

The saint pondered for a while, "Let the historian go, and bring Enhou along."

Jia Daishan thought about it, Bao Linghou was Jia She's biological uncle, he took Jia She there, and there was not much difference between him and him.

"The saint is considerate, thank you saint for your compassion."

"If Enhou stays for a few years, he still has to return to Beijing. The historians are about the same age as Enhou, so they can stay for ten or eight years."

Jia Daishan nodded, "The military power in the Northwest is changed every ten years, and the Marquis of Zhenbei is in the northern border, and next year will be ten years. They have passed now, and the Marquis of Zhenbei can return to Beijing in the spring of next year, and nothing else will happen."

"Old Jia, let's see who's son is useful, and I will go to the northwest to practice with Enhou. I have to keep enough people for Chengxian. This kid is just too soft-hearted."

"Saint, His Highness the Crown Prince didn't grow up in a military camp. After reading sage books for more than ten years, it is inevitable that when doing things, you must first pay attention to benevolence. Saint, you have protected His Highness well, and you are reluctant to let His Highness see those Dirty and filthy things. Even Enhou, like His Highness, is extremely soft-hearted."

"That's right, neither of them has ever been on the battlefield, and they have never seen blood. No matter how good their martial arts are, they are still just a show in the martial arts arena."

As fathers, the two began to think about how to make their son hard-hearted and hard-hearted.

"Saint, what about the execution in autumn? Should His Royal Highness and Enhou be sent to see the blood?"

"Okay, Lao Jia, you made a good point. Let Mingyun and Enhou go, let them see the blood, and practice their courage. Also, you want to send Enhou to the north, your last book to invite the crown prince, Enhou With the title of prince, you will not be looked down upon if you go to the north."

"Thank you saint." Jia Daishan immediately knelt down to kowtow to the saint.

"Come on, get up quickly."

Jia Daishan kowtowed to the saint before getting up.

"I heard that your second child is discussing marriage?"

"That's right. I've asked many people, but I still haven't received a letter of approval. If the sage can give me a marriage, it will save the old couple from looking around."

"Well, let's wait for the next spring draft."

Jia Daishan was overjoyed.

"Thank you saint." He kowtowed again.

"Old Jia, I don't care if you kowtow again."

Jia Daishan smiled so much that he could see his teeth but not his eyes, and he couldn't see the mighty expression in the court hall.

"Okay, the old minister respects the imperial decree and will not kowtow."

Jia Daishan took the hot tea brought by Wei Jiu and put it on the saint's desk, and gave Wei Jiu the cold tea in front of the saint.

The monarch and his ministers have been together for many years, and the friendship is profound.After talking about the son, I started to talk about the grandson.

Jia Daishan beamed with joy, "That kid Hu'er is very quick, and if the old minister is not careful, he pulled off a few beards."

The sage smiled and listened to Jia Daishan show off. He also has a grandson, not a direct grandson, so he didn't hug him either.But the grandson is coming soon.It's just less than three months, so it's hard to say that's all.

The saint's throat was itchy from holding back, he picked up the teacup, drank a couple of sips, and suppressed it.

The prince came back to his life.Tell the saint one by one the reactions of the queen mother and the noble concubine.

"Old Jia, take a look, take a look, I have been kind to the Zheng family and the Chen family all these years... Sigh!" The saint shook his head.

"Saint, there is no way for someone who promotes Mi En and fights Mi Qiu."

Jia Daishan said in his heart that if he won the title of Duke Cheng'en, he wished he could be Duke Cheng'en for generations.how can that be possible!

"I'm the only son of a son-in-law, and the Zheng family and the Chen family are making such calculations, which makes me really sad."

The saint was full of disappointment, turned the lid of the teacup in his hand, and lowered his head to wipe away the slight moisture from the corners of his eyes.

"Since the empress dowager established me, let me take over the world of my father. At that time, there were really internal and external troubles."

Jia Daishan nodded in cooperation, the prince leaned forward a little, and listened attentively.

The sage looked at the two of them and continued talking.

"When I was in the Zongjiao, it was you, Lao Jia and Lao Lin, who had a literary skill and a martial arts, who accompanied me to study hard. As long as there are one and a half children of the Zheng family, they can make a little bit of money and help me take care of a little bit. No matter, I am willing to promote them. These years, I have done the same to the Chen family. But these two families only want to hold the title of Duke Cheng En for generations, alas."

"Saint, this kind of family is used to eating a comfortable meal, there is nothing you can do. You should stop thinking about these troubles, it will hurt your health." Jia Daishan advised the saint to stop thinking about these troubles.

"Old Jia, if they are only greedy for comfort, I don't care about the girls of the Zheng family and the Chen family when I have a few more grandchildren. They go to the East Palace to give birth to concubines, and they will be able to support their two families in the future. But we are Shang Anyone who has been on the battlefield knows that if you want to raise a war horse, you have to breed it, not to mention people. How can I let my grandson be born by a woman from the Zheng family or the Chen family."

The prince was stunned. People at this time have such thoughts of avoiding inbreeding?

The sage looked at his son's expression, "Chengxian, remember, five generations! When choosing a daughter-in-law, it must be more than five generations apart."

"Yes, Father, the son and minister acted according to Father's will."

"Old Jia, when I married Enhou, I also thought that the Zhang family and your Jia family have no blood relationship at all. Look, your grandson is smart."

"Yes, the sage is still considerate. I never pay attention to these things."

The sage laughed complacently. He is the book of all kinds of scholars and all walks of life. He loves it like a treasure and reads it carefully. He is not as good as Jia Dai, who focuses on military books.

The prince said: "Father, my son and I have thought about this: if a man and a woman are too young, the child will either be unable to stand up, or the child will be weak. If the husband and wife are above the age, the child will be weak. Stronger than the children born at the age of fifteen or sixteen."

The prince's words aroused the interest of the sage and Jia Daishan.The two of them thought about those around them who had children at the age of fifteen or sixteen, especially the saint himself, who had lost a son and two daughters, and the eldest daughter was born at the age of 16 by Empress Xiaohui.

"Saint, the old minister thinks about it this way. Those who give birth around here are really like what the prince said. The older the parents are, the more children will stand still."

"Ming Yun, let the Tai Hospital cooperate with this matter, and check the royal family first. If this is really the case, let the household department check it all over the country."

"Father, don't worry, my son will definitely find out."

The sage was relieved, seeing his son who was becoming more and more capable, but still gentle and gentle, he suddenly threw a thunder out.

"Ming Yun, you and Enhou will supervise all the executions of the autumn queen this year."

"what?!"

The prince was stunned and dumbfounded, not knowing how to answer the saint.
