Condescending and Condescending

boom!

Emperor Yuan Ping slapped the table with his palm.

"These bastards, how dare these bastards?"

Perhaps because he was too emotional, Emperor Yuan Ping covered his mouth and coughed again in the next second.

Seeing this, the chief eunuch who happened to come in from the outside quickly put down the tray in his hand, stepped forward and patted Emperor Yuan Ping on the back with ease.

"Your Majesty, what happened to make you so angry?"

Emperor Yuan Ping directly threw the secret book in his hand on the table: "What else can it be, do you remember the Chen family in the west of the city?"

If it was just the Chen family, the chief eunuch might not remember it, but if the word Chengxi was added, it would be difficult for him to remember.

Because this Chen family in the west of the city is not the same Chen family that was involved in Zhao Wang's case of selling officials and nobles.

The Chen family has been in business for generations, and they belong to the top-notch group in the business district of the capital.

But a merchant is a merchant, and no matter how much money he has in his hands, he is still the lowest among the four people.

But the Chen family didn't know what kind of shit luck it was at the time. When the third child of his family was staying in Hualou for the night, he ran into an official from the Ministry of Criminal Justice who was prostitute, and also happened to be embarrassed because he was worried that he would be found out by officials from the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The fled Zhao Wang, and conveniently helped Zhao Wang deceive the officers and soldiers who were chasing him.

Seeing that he was pleasing to the eye, King Zhao, who had escaped the catastrophe, gave him a jade pendant and promised him that he could go to King Zhao's Mansion for help in the future.

When the Chen family knew the identity of King Zhao, they were ecstatic.

At that time, they did everything they could to climb up to the king of Zhao. The emperor didn't like the presence of the king of Zhao, so they took the initiative to find a group of prostitutes from the south of the Yangtze River and gave them to the king of Zhao. The king of Zhao loved horses. The kid in their family went to learn polo, just to be able to accompany King Zhao.

Although playing polo is fun, if the person playing with you is not good at skills, then of course there is no fun at all.

But if you want to be good at skills, you have to work hard to learn. After a long time, it is common to break an arm and twist a leg. The Chen family has two grandchildren who are so disabled.

This is not an exaggeration. At the most exaggerated time, Zhao Wang just wrote a number on the note, and with that note, he could go to the Chen family to pay tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Of course, under the blessing of King Zhao, the Chen family's business is naturally booming.

And it is precisely because of this that after Zhao Wang entered the Ministry of Officials, under the instigation of someone with a heart, he thought of arranging an official position for all the children of the Chen family.

It's just that the Chen family is also stupid. It's okay to not be cautious in words and deeds after getting a bargain. They even caused a incident of beating someone to death in the street. However, that man's son is still a scholar who is taking the Tianfu Township Examination. When father's coffin knelt at the entrance of the Gongyuan, wouldn't things become a big deal?

It was just to keep King Zhao at that time, and because he felt that if the Chen family was severely punished, no one would dare to serve King Zhao in the future, so Emperor Yuanping only severely punished those children of the Chen family who committed crimes. They all turned a blind eye and let it go.

Emperor Yuanping: "Guess what happened, the Chen family took the notes written by King Zhao early this morning and went to ask King Zhao for money... They said that if King Zhao didn't pay back the money, they would send Zhao Wang away." The king tells you to go to Shuntian Mansion."

Emperor Yuanping laughed angrily: "That group of veterans from Xixin Division and Shuntian Fuyi are fine, what is the Chen family, a mere merchant, dare to bully King Zhao, you say, you say , What the hell did they eat? "

What else could be the reason? Half of what they did was probably to clear the relationship with Zhao Wang, so as not to be implicated by Zhao Wang. As for the other half, it was probably bought by some prince, so they dared to put Zhao Wang's face in the mud step on.

It's just that even though he thought so, the chief eunuch didn't dare to respond at all.

Because the eunuch in charge of Xixin Division is his newly adopted son, the reason why Xixin Division dared to do such a thing that day was precisely because the steward told Zhao Wang that he accidentally knocked over one of his sons when he was young. Bowl of soy milk, he was punished to kneel in the yard all night in the winter, causing him to suffer from leg problems, so he wanted to express his anger for him.

Thinking of this, the chief eunuch rubbed his knees subconsciously, and at the same time wished to stuff the eunuch in charge back into his mother's belly and remake it.

Emperor Yuan Ping became more and more angry as he thought about it: "I can't—"

He relegated King Zhao just to let him learn a lesson, not to let all cats and dogs climb on his head and play wild.

The child he raised with his own hands, he himself loves.

Chief eunuch: "..."

He knew that this matter would turn out like this in the end—just like King Zhao was clamoring to join the army before, Emperor Yuan Ping had already made up his mind to obey King Zhao's wishes and let him go to the army for a good experience. After thinking about it all night, the next morning I said nothing.

And what do you mean by "you raise the child with your own hands, you feel sorry for yourself"?

Do you remember your five princes?

The eldest prince is 35 this year, and he is still a prince.

The third prince's son has given birth to more than a dozen sons, and they are still crowded in a small uncle's mansion.

Emperor Yuanping gritted his teeth and said: "Anyway, King Zhao should have suffered a lot at the moment, so let's stop here."

He was afraid that if this continued, King Zhao would hate him first.

Chief eunuch: "..."

Why did King Zhao suffer so much?

Although he was expelled from Zhao Wang's mansion by the people from the Ministry of Rites, the place where he lives now is the former residence of Prince Renduan. The six-entry mansion is one more entry than the third prince's uncle's mansion, and there is still He lives alone.

Besides, the little tricks played by Xixinsi are at most choking Zhao Wang. If this is considered a punishment, then the imperial dining room and the people who specialize in the fire in the restaurant are not living in the [-]th floor of hell all year round. ?

As for the matter that the eldest son of Shuntian Mansion Governor ordered local hooligans to pour dung on the outer wall of Qin Mansion, King Zhao's yard is in the center of Qin Mansion, separated from the outer wall by more than a mile. As long as he doesn't go out, the smell It can't smoke him at all.

……

Another thing is that the Chen family came to ask for debts. Did you forget that King Zhao had the legacy left by Prince Renduan and Princess Renxiao, and the late Emperor and you were generous with rewards on weekdays, so he just paid off the inheritance of the Chen family. money, and the remaining net worth is also richer than the five princes combined.

But these words, the chief eunuch naturally dare not say it.

And Emperor Yuanping had already thought about it: "Just now that the palace examination has been released, most of those students have returned to their original places. Now that I have decreed to restore King Zhao's title, the opposition from the people must not be as high as before."

"No, if you restore his prince directly, what if you give him the illusion that no matter what wrong things he has done, I can forgive him unconditionally?"

"And there is no justifiable reason to restore his title directly, and it will be difficult to convince the public."

At this moment, Emperor Yuan Ping seemed to sense something, and his eyes fell directly on the tray that the chief eunuch had just placed on the table.

"what is this?"

The eunuch in charge immediately replied: "This is sent in by Zhao Wang. It is the Bushen pill and amulet made by him himself. He said it is to honor you."

Emperor Yuanping's eyes lit up instantly, this was the first time King Zhao offered to give him something.

Then he couldn't help but feel distressed: "Look at how these guys have forced King Zhao to be!"

So he immediately said: "Go, tell Jiang Hanlin, let him immediately draw up an imperial decree, saying that King Zhao has made great contributions in donating medicine, and he is specially promoted as... prince, and he is allowed to stay in King Zhao's mansion, and then you go to the Qin mansion to proclaim the edict yourself ,Going right now."

Chief eunuch: "..."

You haven't taken this medicine yet.

And the prince's title is high, so is the prince's title very low?

Don't forget, your eldest son is only a prince now.

But all he could say was, "Yes."

At this time, on the other side, after hearing what happened to Fang Yanqin, the First Prince, who had finally finished his imperial examinations, couldn't help laughing: "He, Qin Yanqin, also has today."

Then, as if he remembered something, the eldest prince said: "By the way, I remember that the eldest son of Shuntian Prefecture Yi seems to be also a candidate for this imperial examination?"

The subordinate at the side immediately said: "Yes, although he only ranked 130th in the top three exams, he has always hoped to work under your command, sir."

And the reason why he teased Fang Yanqin before was because Qin Yanqin had snatched the oiran from him before, and after Shuntian Fuyi found out about it, he was worried that he would offend Qin Yanqin, so he beat him severely and pressed him down again Going to the door to make amends to Qin Yanqin made him lose face, and he also hated Qin Yanqin because of this, and then changed his previous dandyism and was admitted to Jinshi in one fell swoop.

Secondly, of course, it is to please the eldest prince, so that he can become the eldest prince's party.

"it is good."

The eldest prince immediately laughed and said: "Since he wants to work for me, then naturally I can't let him down."

"How about this, you go and talk to the Ministry of Officials, and tell them to send him to the Ministry of War when they assign officials to Xinke Scholars."

The First Prince is currently working in the Ministry of War.

According to the regulations of previous years, the fellow Jinshi ranked lower in the top three are generally sent out to become county magistrates, and they can't even get a chance to be a county magistrate in a low-level county, let alone enter the sixth department.

Subordinate: "Yes."

But that's not enough!

Thinking of how Qin Yanqin rode on his head to do his best, the eldest prince felt his teeth itch with hatred.

So he immediately said: "Come on, let's go to Qin Yanqin's place to have a look."

After all, watching others torment Qin Yanqin, how can it be as happy as beating a dog in the water with his own hands.

Subordinate: "Yes."

It is conceivable how ugly Director Tao's face was when he saw the eldest prince bringing someone to the door.

So he immediately stepped forward and stopped the eldest prince: "Master, why are you here so free today?"

The eldest prince cast a glance at him, and continued to walk in on his own: "Qin Yanqin has been demoted to a commoner for so many days, and I, the eldest brother, have not come to visit him yet, so it seems a little unreasonable, no, today I'm finally free, come and see him."

"This--"

Director Tao hurriedly followed: "Master, it's really a coincidence that you came here. Our master is not at home right now, why don't you come back another day?"

"not at home?"

The eldest prince directly waved him away: "Then he must come back, at worst, I won't go back today, just wait here for his return."

Manager Tao was almost pushed to the ground by him, but fortunately, the servants at the side reached out to support him in time.

The servant looked embarrassed: "Boss, what should we do now?"

Director Tao looked at the eldest prince who had already strode into the living room, and said through gritted teeth: "What else can I do, go and report this matter to the Lord first."

Fang Yanqin who learned that the First Prince had arrived: "..."

You don't need to think about it to know what the eldest prince's plan is.

I have never seen anyone rushing to die.

Fang Yanqin, who was replying to Xie Wenlun's letter, directly put down the pen in his hand: "Then go and have a look."

Seeing Fang Yanqin approaching, the First Prince was really taken aback.

Because at this time, shouldn't Fang Yanqin avoid him? Why did he dare to appear in front of him?

Or is he about to kneel down and beg for mercy?

Thinking of this, the First Prince smiled even more happily.

So he just lay down on the chair and waited for Qin Yanqin, who used to be invincible in the past, to kneel down and beg for mercy.

In the next second, Fang Yanqin sat down directly on the seat next to him, took a sip of the tea next to him, and said, "Why is Prince Shen suddenly free to come to my place today?"

First Prince: "..."

Judging by Fang Yanqin's posture, it looks like he is about to kneel down and beg for mercy.

The most important thing is that Fang Yanqin even dared to call him Prince Shen.

I don't know what he hated most before was being called Prince Shen, because it was a blatant mockery of him being oppressed by that little bastard Qin Yanqin for decades.

So the expression on the First Prince's face immediately froze.

In other words, things have come to this point, Qin Yanqin has not seen the reality clearly, and is dreaming that he will turn over one day.

The eldest prince laughed angrily, then if he didn't give Qin Yanqin a good lesson today and let him recognize the reality, he would be sorry for making this trip all the way.

So he tore his face directly: "Can you call the three words Shen Wanghou?"

"Don't forget, you are no longer the aloof King Zhao, you are just a commoner now."

"By the way, according to the general law, what should the common people do when they see the Shangguan?"

The subordinates he brought said immediately: "You should kneel down and knock three times, otherwise you will be guilty of the crime, and you will have to stick 50 and fine you [-] taels of silver."

Having said that, the eldest prince straightened up straight, and looked at Fang Yanqin with a sneer: "So why are you still standing there, why don't you come and greet me."

One must know that Qin Yanqin used his title of prince to suppress him a lot in the past, but now it was Qin Yanqin's turn to be crushed.

What a whirlwind is, that's it.

So much so that now he will no longer despise his title as too low.

Fang Yanqin: "..."

So should I break the legs of the chair he's sitting on so that he bites his tongue after falling and can't speak for a short time, or should he just break his leg and be unable to get out of bed for several months? .

The eldest prince didn't doubt him, he just thought that Fang Yanqin was so angry that he couldn't even make an expression.

So he became more and more complacent: "If you want to blame, you can only blame your bad luck. It is not good to be reincarnated as someone's son, but you are reincarnated as the son of Prince Renduan."

"If you can be as lucky as mine and reincarnated as a prince, maybe you won't end up like this hahaha!"

And his subordinates immediately sneered and said, "Zhao...Qin Yanqin, please—"

"Or we'll have to help you."

As they said that, they walked directly towards Fang Yanqin, as if if Fang Yanqin didn't kneel down obediently, they would hold down Fang Yanqin and salute the eldest prince.

Seeing this, Manager Tao at the side was so angry that his eyes were red.

At this time, a voice suddenly came from outside: "The imperial decree has arrived, Qin Yanqin accepts it!"

what?

The First Prince and the others looked up subconsciously, just in time to see the chief eunuch walking in with a bright yellow imperial edict.

Seeing the eldest prince, the chief eunuch couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

It was the eldest prince who was the first to react.

The chief eunuch came here at this time, what could be the reason?

It is estimated that Emperor Yuanping felt that the imperial examination was over, and most of the candidates who took the exam had returned to their original places, so they could attack Qin Yanqin.

Because it is impossible for Emperor Yuanping to find out with his conscience, he is going to restore Qin Yanqin's title while the limelight of the imperial examination fraud case has passed, right?

Then he was happy.

Thinking of this, he looked at Fang Yanqin with pity, and then knelt down Shi Shiran.

Unexpectedly, in the next second, I heard the eunuch in charge read: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said: Qin Yanqin, a common man, is handsome, handsome, loyal, righteous and courageous. The medicine he offered is extremely effective. Qiande, hereby bestows upon you: Prince Zhao, Jiaer Guanrong, Yongxi Heavenly Favourite." 1

what?

The eldest prince was immediately dumbfounded.

He looked at the chief eunuch in disbelief.

Emperor Yuanping and Emperor Yuanping actually made Qin Yanqin the prince again?

But this is obviously not the most important thing right now.

After Fang Yanqin received the imperial decree, Shi Shiran stood up, looked at him, and said, "According to the Daqian law, what should the lower official do when he meets the upper official?"

Director Tao, who was directly stunned by this big surprise, reacted in an instant, and then he also smiled: "You should kneel down and salute."

Hearing this, the eldest prince felt his eyes go dark.
