Condescending and Condescending

So Emperor Yuan Ping's love for Qin Yanqin is actually true——

That sounds hard to believe!

But Emperor Yuan Ping's face could not be faked.

Thinking of this, Fang Yanqin couldn't help but click his tongue.

Emperor Yuanping's expression could no longer be simply described as ugly, as if he had thought of something, he covered his mouth and coughed violently, the heart-piercing voice scared the civil and military officials present.

"emperor--"

Seeing this, the chief eunuch at the side hurried forward to help Emperor Yuan Ping soothe his back.

Seeing this, the third prince at the bottom rolled his eyes, knocked away the two princes in front of him, jumped up the imperial steps, picked up the teacup on the imperial case, knelt down with a plop, and said urgently: " Father--"

Seeing this scene, the First Prince and the others blushed, almost gnawing all their teeth.

He even let the bastard, the third son, take the lead.

But they still kept a worried look on their faces.

Fang Yanqin: "..."

It's a pity that they were born in the wrong era. If they were born in the modern age, the throne of actor and the trophy of Shidi would be within their grasp.

After a while, Emperor Yuanping finally recovered his breath.

He took the teacup from the third prince's hand and took a sip slowly.

Seeing that most of the paleness on his face faded slowly, the civil and military officials present finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The crown prince has not yet been established, and the north has been somewhat uneasy recently. Emperor Yuanping can't have any accidents at this time.

Then they couldn't help slandering, Emperor Yuan Ping would act anyway, if he really passed out from coughing because he was too excited just now... what would that sound like.

But even though they thought so, they still said with anger: "King Zhao, the emperor treats you well, look how angry the emperor is with you."

"King Zhao, this is the end of the matter, what else do you have to say?"

……

Hearing this, Emperor Yuan Ping slowly sat up straight.

You don't need to guess why Qin Yanqin intervened behind his back.

So Qin Yanqin also felt that all the things he did were to put him to death?

Thinking of this, Emperor Yuan Ping couldn't help but a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

Seeing this, the princes quickly suppressed the excitement in their eyes, and all turned to look at Fang Yanqin.

After all, they were waiting for this moment!

And the faces of those old generals changed in an instant.

They will die if they die, but Zhao Wang must not have any accidents. After all, he is the only remaining heir of Prince Renduan.

Thinking of this, as soon as they gritted their teeth, they wanted to take on the whole matter for Qin Yanqin: "Your Majesty, these things are..."

At this time, Fang Yanqin also reacted.

Then he froze again.

After all, the coping methods he originally thought were all based on the fact that Emperor Yuan Ping was an ungrateful villain. Who would have thought that Emperor Yuan Ping's love for Qin Yanqin was actually true.

Then those methods will naturally no longer work.

wrong--

To be precise, he already has the emperor as his backer, so what is he afraid of!

On the contrary, these princes...

Fang Yanqin frowned.

Now the fun is big.

So he immediately interrupted those old generals: "Uncle Emperor, I did all these things..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Because they never thought that King Zhao would admit it so directly, as if he was not worried about his fate at all.

How can it be?

You must know that the last time when the incident of him selling an official and noble was exposed, in order to mitigate the crime, he even said that if Emperor Yuanping did something to him, he would directly crash to death in front of Prince Renduan's tombstone.

So they must have heard wrong just now.

Then they heard Fang Yanqin continue to say: "I stole the exam questions from you. On the first day of the month, as soon as I heard that the Ministry of Rites had sent the prepared exam questions to you for your review, I called to visit you." In your name, I secretly turned over the exam questions and memorized them, and I did the same when I was preparing for the palace exam."

……

"It's true that I did all these things without telling those famous teachers and students, it was I who harmed them..."

Speaking of this, Dialect Qin paused, and then said: "Especially Xie Wenlun Xie Juren, after he found out that the test questions were tricky, he directly interrupted the test and ran to Zhao Wang's mansion, just to persuade me and let me take the initiative to admit my mistakes to you .”

Hearing this, Xie Wenlun suddenly raised his head.

It never occurred to him that King Zhao not only didn't blame them, but took the initiative to speak for him——

In this way, at least he doesn't have to worry about being involved in this imperial examination fraud case.

But Fang Yanqin continued: "As for these old generals, I ordered them to rush back from outside the pass, because my nephew committed a crime, and I always feel that someone wants to harm my nephew..."

"So all mistakes are my nephew's fault. Uncle Huang can deal with my nephew any way I want. My nephew will definitely not complain at all this time."

After finishing speaking, he knelt down and kowtowed firmly to Emperor Yuanping.

There was a sudden silence in the hall.

So they heard it right, King Zhao was really so honest this time.

Those old generals were the first to react.

Zhao Wang even took their responsibility for their crimes.

They knew that no matter how bad Prince Renduan's son was, he wouldn't be too bad.

No, now is not the time to talk about this—

Emperor Yuan Ping originally wanted to get rid of King Zhao as soon as possible, but now that King Zhao took all these crimes on his own head, wouldn't that just give Emperor Yuan Ping a chance to do something!

So they immediately said: "No, Your Majesty, we did all these things and have nothing to do with King Zhao..."

But those princes will not give them a chance to help Fang Yanqin get rid of the crime.

They immediately winked at their subordinates.

So immediately, countless officials stood up, and their voices instantly suppressed the words of those old generals: "Your Majesty, there are all witnesses and material evidence, and even King Zhao himself admitted that he stole the exam questions." The thing is, the so-called prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, so I ask the emperor to issue an order to hand over King Zhao to the three courts for a heavy sentence."

"Your Majesty, the words of King Zhao, the more I think about it, the more frightened I feel. He can summon four guards outside the pass with a single sentence. This not only does not mean that these four generals are innocent, but on the contrary, it just shows that King Zhao He has always colluded with the army, he is a collateral prince, and has such a close relationship with the army, it is Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows it, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, please investigate this matter thoroughly."

"The minister waits for a second opinion."

The old generals only felt that their eyes were dark.

These people, these people are going to put King Zhao to death.

Only then did Emperor Yuanping react.

"enough."

he said angrily.

The field immediately fell silent.

Emperor Yuan Ping took a deep look at those silent nobles and old ministers, and then turned to look at Fang Yanqin.

He remembered what Fang Yanqin said just now - he said that he did these things because he committed a mess.

Intuition told him that Fang Yanqin was explaining to him why he doubted him.

Looking at his straightforward attitude of pleading guilty again, Emperor Yuanping felt a little better.

After all, as an elder, how could he care about these small mistakes with the younger generation.

But it is also true that he stole the exam questions and intended to cheat in the imperial examinations. This is not a small mistake.

Thinking of this, Emperor Yuan Ping felt another block in his heart.

So this time, even if he couldn't bear it anymore, he had to do something to teach him a lesson.

The most important thing is that if he is not severely punished, it may be difficult to stop the people in the world.

So Emperor Yuanping was cruel and said: "Okay, since you have confessed to your crime, come—"

"The decree is to cut off Qin Yanqin's title of King Zhao, demote him to a commoner, and not leave Beijing without an edict."

All the officials present: "..."

If it were them, even if they didn't take this opportunity to cut off Qin Yanqin's head, at least they would have to destroy Qin Yanqin. For example, they would hit him dozens of times and operate secretly. It would not be a problem to destroy his two legs... so As soon as he came, he naturally couldn't toss about.

After all, who would support a crippled emperor.

So they subconsciously wanted to speak to Emperor Yuanping again.

As a result, Emperor Yuanping didn't give them a chance at all: "Okay, this matter ends here, as for those border guards... lock them up first."

Civil and military officials: "..."

So Emperor Yuan Ping was really planning to let Qin Yanqin go just like that?

How could he be so kind?

etc--

Didn't Qin Yanqin's two concubines died suddenly after being imprisoned by Emperor Yuanping?

hiss!

Therefore, Emperor Yuan Ping did not intend to let Qin Yanqin go.

He clearly intended to send him to follow in the footsteps of his two concubines.

Anyway, Qin Yanqin has already been taken care of by him, even if he is allowed to live a few more days, he will not be able to cause any trouble.

In this way, in the future, the fine brushwork in history books will not blame Qin Yanqin's death on him. On the contrary, it is necessary to praise Emperor Yuanping's tolerance. Emperor Ping still forgave him.

——After all, it was also cheating in the imperial examinations. 16 years ago, Emperor Yuanping chopped off more than 50 heads, exiled more than 200 people, and imprisoned more than 3000 people.

Ruthless or Emperor Yuan Ping ruthless!

Thinking of this, the civil and military officials and all the princes felt their hearts tremble, and they immediately replied in unison: "Yes."

Fang Yanqin also bowed his head and said: "Nephew, thank you for your kindness."

……

This matter has come to an end here.

However, Emperor Yuanping's mood became heavier instead.

In the bedroom, he slumped directly on the dragon chair: "There are so many honorable and former ministers, but none of them stood up to speak for King Zhao."

"The few who haven't rebelled yet are all idiots. They dare to sneak back from outside the pass if they are provoked casually. It's fine to run back, and they were caught straight."

While pressing his temples for him, the chief executive sighed.

Emperor Yuan Ping: "Fu Guo Gong Qin Ju, he was single-handedly picked up by the eldest brother."

"Chongzhou Marquis Peidu, because of excessive drinking, he delayed the battle opportunity. If his elder brother hadn't interceded for him, his head would be a piece of dirt right now, and he wouldn't be able to have his current splendor and wealth. "

"There is also Song Kangde, the uncle of Liangzhou. When he was born, his mother had dystocia. It was the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law who carried his mother for more than ten miles on the mountain road, and sent his mother to the county hospital. A successful birth..."

"In the end, that's how they repay the elder brother and elder sister-in-law?"

Speaking of excitement, he couldn't help coughing violently again.

"Your Majesty, the dragon's body is the most important thing."

Seeing this, the chief manager quickly helped him to soothe his back.

"Yes."

After finally recovering his breath, Emperor Yuanping said again: "The kindness of decades ago is not as important as the prosperity and wealth of future generations."

"I remember that Qin Ju's little granddaughter is now the boss' side concubine."

"Pei Du's youngest son married the third wife's sister-in-law."

"Song Kangde...Where is Song Kangde, who does he belong to?"

Chief Manager: "Uncle Liang Zhou's eldest son is the fifth prince's companion."

"Yeah, they are all princelings now, how can they care about the posthumous children left by their benefactors decades ago?"

Emperor Yuanping: "Could it be, didn't I say it clearly enough? I have clearly told them that after King Zhao and the crown, I will make King Zhao the crown prince according to the etiquette."

In the end, they still got mixed up with his princes.

The chief executive was silent.

The most indispensable thing in this world is an emperor who killed his father, brother, and even his son for the sake of the throne. As a result, when he came to Emperor Yuanping, he actually planned to return the throne to his nephew next door, so who would believe this? ah!

Moreover, Emperor Yuanping was grateful for the kindness of Prince Renduan and Princess Renxiao, and wanted to pass the throne to King Zhao. The five princes obviously didn't think so.

After all, they are the serious sons and grandsons of the emperor, but the emperor wants them to give up the easy-to-get throne and bow down to their cousins ​​instead. It's no wonder they agree.

It's just that these words are obviously not what he can say.

But even if he didn't say it, Emperor Yuanping could still think of it, so he immediately scolded: "Evil barriers, why did I have such a group of evil barriers..."

But these are not the most important thing, the most important thing is that Zhao Wang himself is not up to date!

Thinking of this, Emperor Yuanping himself fell silent.

He said: "If I had known it would be today, when he wanted to go to the army for training, I shouldn't have stopped him because I was worried about his safety."

After finishing speaking, he comforted himself and said, "But it doesn't matter, King Zhao is only 19 years old this year, and there is still a chance to get his temperament back..."

Just saying this, his eyes turned red.

He reached out and touched his gray sideburns: "But I am only 50 years old this year, but my body has already broken down. I don't know how many more years I can teach him..."

Having said that, he covered his mouth and coughed violently again.

The chief manager was anxious: "The emperor..."

Emperor Yuanping seemed to be unknown, looking at the dim candlelight in front of him, he murmured: "So this time, we must let him suffer a little more, maybe after these things, he will become sensible."

Chief Manager: "..."

For some reason, he always felt that this matter was a little suspenseful.
