I, the crown prince, resign [Transmigration Book]

If it is said that the third prince, Li Jingye, has a good relationship with scholars in the Imperial Academy, everyone knows that it is because they are both literati, and there is nothing wrong with it; but if the fifth prince, Li Jingxuan, has a good relationship with scholars, then others will have to wonder if he is trying to gain a false name .In fact, it's not that Li Jingxuan likes to gain fame and reputation from others, it's just a false name, and he doesn't want to care about it.

In addition to making friends with scholars, he has also done a lot of things such as buying books at high prices and interceding for others, but this time the emperor does not seem to intend to let him go.When Li Jingxuan was ordered to investigate corruption, he interceded for one of the old ministers, but was severely reprimanded by the emperor, saying that he was making a false name everywhere, and everyone called him that.The next day, all the princes were summoned to the study. I don't know if it was because they knew that someone was pleading, so they called them here on purpose, or because they wanted to make a big deal out of it and kill others to scare others.

Li Jinghuan doesn't know what's wrong with his father. Recently, it seems that his brothers are not pleasing to the eye. Every time he finds a reason, he will get angry. He has figured out the rules. The incident was so furious that the princes would have to kneel outside for a long time.So he was not in a hurry when he heard his father's biography, and he ate a few more cakes and wore a pair of pants less, so that he could make a crisp plop when he begged for mercy.

Why do you feel like you are about to become an old fritter?Li Jinghuan thought amusedly.

In fact, he can't blame him for not caring about his younger brother. In fact, during this period of time, his father will come here every now and then. The first few times he was still nervous, trying to organize his words and begging on his knees. If you are emotional, you will be numb in the back, anyway, the father just wants to find fault with them, even if you walk in the door with your left foot first, he can scold you for half an hour.

But the other princes didn't seem to be as relaxed as he was. When he arrived, everyone else was already there, kneeling on the ground one by one, anxious like ants on a hot pot, and didn't dare to go in.

Li Jinghuan didn't hesitate too much, and he knelt down as soon as he lifted his robe.Things really happened as he expected, even though he had been late for quite a while, he still knelt for an entire hour, not to mention the other princes who came early, all of them were dizzy, with sore backs , Li Jingxuan also knelt there straight, a lot of sweat oozing from his face.

It was not until the sun was approaching the mid-heaven that someone came out to announce the decree.The imperial edict said: "Is it possible for a great treasure to act arbitrarily and spy on you? The fifth prince, Li Jingxuan, is mellow and treacherous, and has great ambitions. I know very well that the purpose of the matter has been revealed now. Li Jingxuan will be locked up and handed over to the Discussion Office for trial. .”

Li Jingxuan didn't expect that kneeling all morning would lead to such an ending, his body trembled violently, and then he kowtowed deeply, "I obey the order." There were guards coming to take him away on the spot.

The rest of the princes didn't expect things to turn out like this, and they stood up to stop the guards.Especially Li Jingyi, he and Li Jingxuan have always been on good terms, and now they are blocking the guards, while shouting inside: "What arrogance? It's all framed by villains! It's slander! Father, you can't believe it!"

"Sixth Brother," Li Jinghuan gritted his teeth, "Now is not the time to say such things."

When Li Jingyi saw him, he seemed to have grabbed hold of a life-saving straw, holding on to his sleeve, "Second Brother, please go and beg Father! We all know what kind of person Fifth Brother is, and he It is absolutely impossible. He is now innocently affected, we brothers really can't stand it, only second brother, you can go to father emperor and explain it for fifth brother."

"Yes, yes," Li Jingyan on the side also chimed in, "I'll go too, second brother, I'll go with you."

Li Jinghuan frowned. If it was before, he would have done his part to intercede for the fifth younger brother, but he could see something was wrong with his father's behavior during this period. He always felt that there was some intention behind it that he didn't know. Pleading, I'm afraid it will have the opposite effect...

Seeing Li Jinghuan's embarrassment, Li Jingyu stretched out his hand to stop him, "Don't force the second brother, the second brother must also want to help the fifth brother, but now the emperor's meaning is unclear, if the second brother enters rashly, I'm afraid it will hurt the fifth brother instead." Brother, this matter still needs to be carefully considered before making plans."

Li Jinghan is young and doesn't know much about these things. I saw the second brother and the fourth brother shied away, and thought they were unwilling to intercede for the five. He felt a little dissatisfied, "Second brother, my brother has always admired your kindness. You have taken good care of us, so why are you refusing to help now that Fifth Brother is dead? Could it be that you really believed Fifth Brother’s nonsense about his ambitions, and then suspected that Fifth Brother was planning to take your crown prince?”

"What are you talking about!" Before Li Jinghuan could open his mouth, Li Jingyu reprimanded sharply: "The seventh brother is all brothers, so can the second brother let go of the fifth brother? What you say now, the second brother said Who have you become?"

Seeing that he was angry, Li Jinghan curled his lips and said nothing.

It's a pity that Li Jinghan's words made Li Jinghuan unable to shirk, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and lead the princes into the study.

Recently, in order to criticize his sons, the emperor has been exhausted physically and mentally.He knew that Li Jingxuan was too lenient and often interceded for others, he just thought he was trying to gain a good reputation, so he didn't care about it.It's just that now, if you want to trouble him, this matter has naturally become a pretext. Originally, you just planned to teach him a lesson, but who knew that he would openly resist the order, and he felt even more angry.

Now seeing all the princes kneeling and saluting together, he didn't cry out, but said coldly: "Even when I was sick, I didn't see you all here together. Why, what are you doing today?"

The emperor's words were mixed with guns and sticks, but Li Jingyi was not afraid at all, "Fifth brother has no such intentions, and my son and I are willing to protect him."

The emperor sternly said: "I think you want to count on him to become the crown prince, and you will be enthroned as a prince in the future, right?"

As soon as this remark came out, the princes present were a little embarrassed and did not dare to speak again, and only Li Jinghuan, who was innocently cueed, had to stand up and say a few words, "Father, my son and my fifth and sixth brothers have always been on good terms. They grew up together since they were young, blood is thicker than water, and the temper of the fifth and sixth brothers is well understood, and they would never have such an idea, not to mention that even if they had such ambitions, it would be impossible for them to do so for the sake of father, son and brother. It will definitely not hurt the heart of the father and the heart of the son."

Li Jinghuan's words seemed to give Li Jingyi some confidence, and he immediately said loudly: "Yes, the fifth brother and the son have been taken care of by the second brother of the Taoist prince since childhood, how could they do such a thing that is not as good as a beast. What's more, the fifth brother I am just pleading for the veterans, I am afraid of hurting the hearts of the veterans, for the sake of my father and the court, if I punish you for this, I am afraid that everyone will be in an abyss and walk on thin ice."

The emperor was furious, "So it's still my fault?"

Li Jingyi took out a white porcelain bottle from his sleeve, and said fearlessly, "I dare not! It's just that the third brother will be punished for being disrespectful, and the fourth brother must be punished for speaking wrongly. Now the fifth brother must be punished for begging for favors. According to this order, I'm afraid it will be the son's turn soon? The son feels that it is rare to save him, so he asks the emperor to grant his death."

The emperor was so angry that he was panting heavily, Dang Xiao hurried up to help caress his back, the emperor pushed him away, "Okay, I want to see how you die!"

Li Jingyi raised his eyebrows, poured out a bright red pill and was about to stuff it into his mouth, "Why is this so difficult?"

Seeing that Li Jinghuan was frightened by his actions, Li Jingyi's words frightened him before, but now he swallowed the poison directly, which is not bad!Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the condition was not good, so he rushed over and slapped the medicine on the ground.

Li Jingyu and Li Jingxuan also jumped up in shock, but they were a little farther away, so they were a step late, and their hands touched the back of Li Jinghuan's hand. With a crisp "pa", Li Jinghuan almost cried out in pain.

"Okay...okay! This is my good son! You don't talk about forming a party in private, but you openly threaten me with your life!" The emperor was so angry that his face turned purple, and he said sharply: "If you want to die, you can die now. Don't die in front of my eyes, dirty my place!"

Seeing this, Li Jingxuan kowtowed again and again: "The emperor calm down, this matter is all the fault of the son, the son is willing to be punished, the sixth brother is just in a hurry, I beg the emperor to forgive him."

Li Jingyu, Li Jinghan and Li Jingyan also kowtowed to intercede.

The emperor's rage gradually subsided, and a sense of exhaustion and helplessness welled up from the bottom of his heart, and he sat back on the chair weakly. Li Jinghuan hurried forward and knelt down with a plop, thankful in his heart that he was missing a pair of pants today, "Father, Can you listen to my son?"

The emperor looked up at him and nodded helplessly.

"As the crown prince and the elder brother, my younger brothers have made mistakes. It is the result of my ineffective teaching, and it has caused my father's anger. It is my fault. The fault is also due to being young and ignorant, lacking in teaching, I just hope that the emperor can give my son a chance, and I will definitely have a good talk with my fifth and sixth younger brothers when I go down, I believe that they will understand my father's painstaking efforts..."

Li Jinghuan's remarks, on the surface, put the blame on himself, but in fact he said "it is the father's fault whether to raise or not teach". This roundabout rhetoric made the emperor feel helpless.Forget it, forget it, I didn't intend to make a fuss like this, "Oh!" The emperor sighed wearily, "Li Jingyi has nothing to do with the imperial court, and he was beaten twenty big boards. Li Jingxuan, get banned for a month, and think about your own life. "

Everyone knelt down to thank them and retreated together.

After Li Jingyi finished the board, Li Jinghuan waited for him for a while, and helped him to walk out of the palace. While walking, he scolded in a low voice with a dark face: "Sixth brother, you are too reckless!"

Li Jingyi knew that he was talking about taking the poison just now, seeing his serious and annoyed face, although his butt hurt, he felt warm, "Second brother, don't worry, my brother won't do this anymore."

Li Jinghuan gritted his teeth and asked, "If no one stops you, what will you do?"

Li Jingyi took out another red pill from his arms proudly, threw it into his mouth and chewed, "What else can I do? Let's do it like this!"

Li Jinghuan was taken aback, and subconsciously wanted to pry open his teeth and pull out the pill, "What are you doing? Spit it out!"

Li Jingyi's jaw hurt from being pinched by him, and he shouted with a slightly distorted expression: "Second brother, let me go! This is not poison!"

"You... what?" Li Jinghuan let go of his hand.

Li Jingyi tidied up his clothes and said complacently, "I'm not a fool, how could I take the poison with me?"

So you were acting just now?Li Jinghuan's expression was a bit ferocious, "How dare you play tricks on your father?"

Li Jingyi seemed to be aware of the seriousness of the matter, and said embarrassingly: "I'm not doing it for Brother Wu."

Li Jinghuan was almost mad at him, but since the other party was a wounded person, there was nothing he could do.

So he was beaten for nothing just now, right? !
