Lian Erye's Road to Imperial Examination

Recently, the eldest prince's people are very proud of themselves, thinking that the position of prince must belong to the eldest prince.Unexpectedly, Emperor Longwu did not make the eldest prince the crown prince for a long time, which made the eldest prince and the ministers who supported him a little anxious.

The eldest prince and his supporters guessed that Emperor Longwu hadn't given up on the fourth prince, and wanted to revive the fourth prince.This made the eldest prince and the others unacceptable, and they must not let the fourth prince "resurrection".

The eldest prince and the others also knew that Emperor Longwu had always valued the fourth prince, and a large part of the reason was because of the Yan family.As long as the Yan family does not fall, the fourth prince will never step down.

The eldest prince discussed with the ministers who supported him for a long time, and decided to unite all those who supported the eldest prince to put pressure on Emperor Longwu, and let Emperor Longwu make the eldest prince the crown prince.

In order to prevent the fourth prince from having a chance to recover, the eldest prince's people decided to find a way to deal with the Yan family.In fact, it's not that the First Prince's people have never dealt with the Yan family before, but the Yan family is too powerful to shake the Yan family at all.

It is really not a very simple matter to bring down the Yan family.The First Prince's people are well aware of this, but they still want to give it a try.If they don't bring down the Yan family, they won't be able to come to power.

"My lord, it's not that I've hurt your confidence, it's not easy for the emperor to deal with the Yan family, let alone us."

The eldest prince frowned tightly, his expression was very ugly, and he was even a little impatient.

"Then what do you think we should do, just watch the fourth brother get up immediately?" The reputation of the fourth child has been completely ruined, and more than half of the influence of the fourth child has been wiped out. Now is the weakest time for the fourth child. Dealing with the fourth child is the easiest, and there is no possibility for the fourth child to stand up at all.

"My lord, our opportunity is close at hand, we must not let the fourth prince stand up."

"Of course this king knows." He is now one step away from being the crown prince, and he must not let the crown prince be snatched away before his eyes. "Which of you has the means to take down the Yan family?" The Yan family is the strongest backing for the fourth child, as long as the Yan family is eliminated, the fourth child will be completely finished.

Hearing what the First Prince said, everyone shut up and fell silent. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Seeing that his ministers were silent, the eldest prince was very angry. He raised his hand and slammed the table down, making a loud noise.

"At the critical moment, all of you are silent, what use does the king want you to have?"

"My lord, it's not that the ministers don't want to bring down the Yan family, but that there is really no way." A minister said with a bitter face, "Even the emperor is afraid of the Yan family."

In fact, the eldest prince also understands in his heart, but he is not reconciled.It was not easy for the fourth prince's reputation to be ruined, but he couldn't get the crown prince right away.

"My lord, it is impossible to bring down the Yan family."

"Then forget it?" The eldest prince's tone was very aggressive.

The minister who was attacked by the first prince was not annoyed, and said slowly: "Although we can't bring down the Yan family, we will find a way to drive a wedge between the Yan family and the fourth prince."

"It's not that this method has never been used before, it's completely useless." The fourth prince is not the queen's own son, so the first prince's people tried to drive a wedge between the fourth prince and the queen, and the relationship between the fourth prince and the Yan family, but useless.

"It's different now. The fourth prince likes men, and there is a lot of noise about playing with male pets. The Yan family has to face, and they must be a little dissatisfied with the fourth prince." The minister smiled treacherously, "At this time, we are alienating Yan. The relationship between the family and the fourth prince has made the gap between them bigger and bigger."

When the eldest prince heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, and his originally gloomy face immediately became happy: "You are right, it is different now."

When other people heard this idea, they also thought it was very good.

"You guys think of a way, how to provoke the relationship between the fourth child and the Yan family."

This question was much simpler than to overthrow the Yan family, and the ministers who supported the First Prince expressed their opinions one after another.

The eldest prince picked out a few good ideas and asked them to implement them immediately.

While secretly provoking the relationship between the fourth prince and the Yan family, they jointly asked the eldest prince to be crown prince.

The First Prince's people thought they had a chance of winning this time, and they didn't want to...

With a bang, Emperor Longwu slammed a stack of memorials on the ground, and the sound was so loud that the hearts of the civil and military officials standing below tightened in fright.

"Are you putting pressure on me?" Emperor Longwu's tone was very cold, which made the ministers standing below feel cold, "If I don't make the boss the crown prince, I will be a fool."

Hearing this, the eldest prince's people were so frightened that their legs became weak, and they immediately knelt down: "Father, please calm down! I have no such intention!"

"Father calm down!"

"I think that's what you mean." Emperor Longwu looked at the ministers kneeling on the ground with cold eyes.

"Father, appease your anger, the ministers definitely don't mean that." The eldest prince hurriedly pleaded for his own people.

Emperor Longwu grabbed the teacup and threw it at the eldest prince. The eldest prince did not dare to dodge, and the teacup hit him hard on the head, blood dripping immediately.

"I just imprisoned the fourth son, and you can't wait to force me to make you the crown prince." Emperor Longwu looked angry, "If I don't agree, are you going to kill me?"

This sentence was serious, the eldest prince was so frightened that his face turned pale, he quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Father, I don't dare, I never mean that!"

The ministers who supported the eldest prince were also terrified by these words, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, calm down! The ministers have no such intentions!"

"Prince Yuan is demoted to the county king, step back from the court!"

"Retreat!"

The eldest prince collapsed on the ground, his eyes widened, with an expression of disbelief.

Those who supported the Fourth Prince looked at the First Prince sarcastically, all looking very gloating.

The eldest prince's people were stunned, they never expected that things would turn out like this.The fourth prince likes men, and his reputation is completely ruined. The only candidate for the crown prince is the eldest prince. They asked the emperor for orders. The emperor should take advantage of the situation to make the eldest prince the crown prince. Why did he get angry and demote the eldest prince as the county king?

Seeing this scene, Jia Lian lit a row of candles for the eldest prince's people in his heart.Leaving aside the second prince, as soon as the fourth prince had an accident, the elder prince's people couldn't wait to make the elder prince the crown prince.It was rejected by the emperor many times before in the court, and the attitude of the emperor can be seen. As a result, the group of the eldest prince and the ministers actually put pressure on the emperor to force the emperor to make the eldest prince the crown prince. This is simply courting death.

Even if the emperor originally wanted to make the eldest prince the crown prince, but was forced by the ministers, he would definitely change his mind and would not make the eldest prince the crown prince.

The First Prince and the others are really stupid!

The eldest prince's people really lost their wife and soldiers this time.

Jia Lian guessed that the emperor couldn't help but was still looking for an excuse to get rid of the eldest prince's influence, but he didn't expect the first prince to give the excuse himself, he is really... a good son.

Next, the fourth prince's people, as well as those who had maintained a neutral attitude, all found trouble with the first prince's people.

The reason why the fourth prince's people troubled the eldest prince's people was because of the fourth prince.And those who remained neutral saw the signal from Emperor Longwu, so they acted.

Originally, because of the corruption and bribery case of Jiangnan officials, half of the eldest prince's people were eliminated. This time, he took action against the rest of his people, and the eldest prince's people were eliminated in sevens and eights.

Some time ago, the eldest prince and his party, who were proud of their success, were sure to win, but now those whose heads were beheaded were beheaded, those who were exiled, those who were imprisoned, and those who were demoted to commoners.

This series of developments made people in the capital feel terrified.

Not to mention the aristocratic family, even the ordinary people in the capital are aware of the unusual aura, and feel that the sky in the capital is about to change.

Both the eldest prince and the fourth prince have been demoted to the rank of county king, and their influence has been almost wiped out, so what will the emperor do next, which one will be crowned prince?

Grand Master Yan couldn't understand what the emperor was thinking, but the emperor didn't take action against the Yan family, which meant that the fourth prince still had a chance.Wait for a while, and then find a way to pull the fourth prince up.Now that the emperor is angry, it is best not to do anything for the time being.

Jia Lian was too lazy to care about the changes in the court situation and continued to fiddle with his experiments.He was researching weapons during this time.

Ming and Song Dynasties had gunpowder, but in the end they used it to make fireworks instead of cannons.

Jia Lian intends to get the cannon out, but as for the gun, it is better not to research it.

If the gun is researched, it is estimated that it will cause chaos, and it may even take his own life.

Jia Lian improved his bow and arrow while firing the cannon.In ancient wars, bows and arrows were the most convenient and effective weapons.

One day, after the court, Jia Lian had just walked out of the palace gate when he saw Wang Ziteng with a cold light in his eyes.

During this time, the emperor was eliminating the influence of the eldest prince and the fourth prince, so he did not take action against the Wang family.

After a while, the situation in the court stabilized, and he wanted to settle accounts with the Wang family.

Seeing Jia Lian coming out, Wang Ziteng walked over immediately and called out kindly:

"Brother Lian."

Jia Lian bowed to Prince Teng, and called out politely: "Master Wang."

Wang Ziteng helped Jia Lian up, said with a smile, "You and I are relatives, don't call me Mr. Wang, call me uncle."

When Jia Lian heard this, he sneered twice in his heart, but the expression on his face was still respectful: "Master Wang, you have a noble status, and the younger ones dare not climb high." Relatives?Wang Ziteng also had the nerve to say.Mrs. Wang was kicked out by the Wang family and divorced by the Jia family. Their family also severed ties with Jia Zheng. Where are the relatives?

Wang Ziteng didn't expect Jia Lian to say that, his expression was slightly startled, and there was a flash of displeasure in his eyes, but the smile on his face was still kind and gentle.

"Why are you so disciplined, kid?"

"Lord Wang, the rules cannot be broken. Besides, our two families are not relatives." Jia Lian guessed what Wang Ziteng was looking for him for, but he didn't need to give Wang Ziteng a good face.

"You..." Wang Ziteng didn't expect Jia Lian to disrespect him so much.

"Master Wang, the younger one still has something to do, so I will leave first." After speaking, Jia Lian bowed and left.

Wang Ziteng looked at the back of Jia Lian leaving, his eyes were full of anger.This Jia Lian is so bold, how dare he talk to him like that!

Jia Lian felt the knife-like gaze behind her back, and the cold arc at the corner of her mouth deepened.

Wang Ziteng went to Jia Lian not for anything else, but for the recent affairs of the eldest prince and the fourth prince.

The emperor demoted both the eldest prince and the fourth prince, and for a while people couldn't figure out the emperor's intention.

Because of Mrs. Wang's affairs, the Wang family's reputation was completely ruined, and they were excluded by the family.The Wang family was very anxious, trying to find a way to return to the circle of aristocratic families in the capital, they could only stand in line in advance and support a certain prince, so that after a certain prince became a prince, their Wang family could restore their previous glory.

Wang Ziteng originally wanted to support the fourth prince, but the fourth prince liked men, and his reputation was completely ruined.He wanted to support the First Prince, but the First Prince was also demoted.

The two princes were demoted, and he didn't know which one to support for a while, so he wanted to talk to Jia Lian.

Jia Lian was highly valued by the emperor, maybe Jia Lian knew something.Wang Ziteng planned well, but he didn't expect Jia Lian to disrespect him so much, which made him very annoyed.

Wang Ziteng went home and discussed the matter with Mrs. Wang.

"That broom star killed his mother and his elder brother. It's normal for him to be dissatisfied with our Wang family." Mrs. Wang felt that Jia Lian's rude attitude towards Wang Ziteng was normal.

After hearing this, Wang Ziteng felt that it made sense, but he was still very angry.

"Mom, what should we do?"

"Let's support the fourth prince." Mrs. Wang has been thinking about this matter recently, and after thinking about it, she still feels that she is more confident in supporting the fourth prince. "As long as the Yan family is still there, the fourth prince can make a comeback."

"But, the fourth prince likes men." This is a stain, and even if the Yan family takes the exam, it cannot be erased.

"Aren't there few dignitaries in the capital who like men?" Mrs. Wang said in an old spirit, "As long as the fourth prince becomes a prince and becomes emperor in the future, his liking for men will become an elegant hobby, and there will be no more people." say what."

Wang Ziteng felt that Mrs. Wang's words were too right. Now everyone said that the fourth prince's liking for men was a nasty thing, but when the fourth prince ascended to that position, this matter would become a refined hobby, and it would never happen again. Someone was talking about what to say.

"Listen to your mother, support the fourth prince."

"After a while, the emperor should lift the ban on the fourth prince." Mrs. Wang said thoughtfully, "I always feel that the emperor deliberately demoted the fourth prince to be the county king, and deliberately imprisoned the fourth prince."

"Mom, what do you mean..."

"The emperor deliberately treated the fourth prince like this, perhaps in order to eliminate the influence of the eldest prince."

When Wang Ziteng heard this, he was surprised, and then he said excitedly: "Why didn't I expect that you are the best, mother."

Mrs. Wang was very happy to be complimented by her son, and said with a smile: "This is just my guess."

"Mom, I think your analysis is right!" Thinking about it carefully, it really is.Only by dealing with the fourth prince first, can the emperor deal with the eldest prince in a legitimate way, so that no one will say that the emperor is partial.

As Mrs. Wang expected, after a few days, the emperor lifted the confinement of the fourth prince, but he did not restore the fourth prince's position as prince.

Seeing this situation, the civil and military officials thought that the fourth prince was going to make a comeback, and the emperor wanted to make the fourth prince the crown prince.

"Brother Lian, is the emperor going to make the fourth prince the crown prince?" Jia She asked.

Hearing Jia Amnesty's question, Jia Lian looked surprised, "Father, since when have you been interested in these things?"

"Someone asked me."

When Jia Lian heard this, she narrowed her eyes slightly, with a cold expression on her face: "Father, who asked you?"

"My friends."

"Father, I told you, don't associate with those cronies from the past."

"People come to see me, I'm sorry to see you."

"Dad, we need to have a good talk."

"Talk about what?"

In the following time, Jia Lian told Jia She a lot of things.

Jia Amnesty was a little impatient at first, thinking that Jia Lian was taking too much care, but when he heard the back, he was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.

"Father, if you want to ruin me, just keep associating with those people."

Jia Amnesty was so frightened that he quickly shook his head: "No, no, I won't associate with those people in the future." Those wine and meat friends, no son is important.The reason why he has so much face now is because he has a promising son.

"I hope you can do what you say." He didn't forget that in the original book, in order to get the fan, Jia She sent the owner of the fan to the prison. "And don't rely on your son, I am now highly valued by the emperor, just show off your power outside and do some outrageous things."

Jia She was not happy when he heard this, and glared at Jia Lian angrily, "Am I that kind of person?"

"You will do this kind of thing after being instigated for a few words."

Uh... Jia She's expression froze.

Jia Lian's words burst into blood, making it impossible for Jia Amnesty to refute.

"Let me start with the ugly words first. If you do something outrageous outside, I won't let you go because you are my father. I will deal with it fairly and hand you over to Jingzhao Mansion Yin."

"Is there any son like you? I have an accident, but I don't want to save him."

Jia Lian said coldly: "When the time comes, I will kill my relatives righteously, and I will never save you!"

Seeing that his son's expression was very serious, Jia She couldn't help but tremble, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to embarrass you."

"That's the best, and if you can't buy something, or if others don't sell it, don't take advantage of my identity to attack others." Jia Lian thought it was better to make a call in advance to prevent the plot in the original book from happening. Vaccination is better.

Jia Amnesty was furious at Jia Lian's words, "Am I such a person?"

"Just tell me what you want."

"Understood, there is nothing else, I will go."

"You go."

Jia She left angrily, thinking that he, as an old man, was being taught by his son, he was really useless, but he couldn't resist.

Zhuang Jingrong came in at this time, and looked at Jia Lian strangely: "Husband, why do you think that father would do something outrageous? Father doesn't look like this kind of person."

"He has a bad brain, and he can't stand other people's instigation, and he will do stupid things when he is impulsive." Jia Lian said this very bluntly.

Zhuang Jingrong was stunned for a moment, and then said rather helplessly: "Husband, how can you say that about father?" Zhuang Jingrong thought that Jia She, the father-in-law, was not bad, but he was a bit lecherous and liked young girls. There was nothing wrong with him.

"in case!"

"My lord, the fourth prince has been released, the elder sister..." Zhuang Jingrong was always worried about Jia Yuanchun.

"Eldest sister will contact me in a while." Jia Lian guessed.

"I don't know how the eldest sister is doing now?"

"It should be fine. If there is something wrong, I would have sent a letter to me." Jia Lian felt that Jia Yuanchun should have obtained some criminal evidence against the fourth prince.

When mentioning the fourth prince, Zhuang Jingrong was very angry: "Husband, isn't the emperor going to deal with the fourth prince? Why did he lift the ban on the fourth prince?"

"It is because of the need to deal with the fourth prince that the ban was lifted."

Zhuang Jingrong instantly understood Jia Lian's meaning, and felt relieved.

The fourth prince's ban was lifted, and his random behavior in the mansion some time ago also stopped.Hearing what happened during this period from Grand Master Yan, she was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat, and hurriedly disposed of the male pet in the mansion secretly.

Although the fourth prince has lifted the ban, his position as prince has not yet been restored.Taishi Yan told him that the emperor was watching his performance.If he behaves well, he will soon be restored to the throne.Only when the prince is restored, can he have the opportunity to become the prince.

The fourth prince heard what Grand Master Yan said, and quickly picked up the previous disguise.He didn't respond to the rumors that he liked men, but only said that it's clear.

The more this kind of thing is explained, the more problematic it becomes.There is a saying that does not mean that the more you smear, the darker you are, so it is best not to say anything.

Just when the fourth prince was trying his best to perform, another incident happened that the civil and military officials couldn't see through.

Today's morning court, there was one more person in the court hall, standing in the front seat on the left.

The fourth prince and the eldest prince were both shocked and dissatisfied when they saw the second prince appearing in the court hall.

They were just about to ask the second prince why he appeared in the court hall, when Emperor Longwu walked in, and the morning court began.

The civil and military officials saluted the emperor, and the morning court officially began.

"Let me tell you all my lovers, the second child will go to court from today."

When the civil and military officials heard this, they were shocked like a storm in their hearts: What does the emperor mean by this?

"The second child's body has been recuperated for these years, and there is basically no problem." Emperor Longwu said with a smile, "The second child handled the corruption and bribery case of Jiangnan officials well before, so I think he should fulfill his duties." His responsibility."

The civil and military officials were confused by Emperor Longwu's words. They seemed to understand what the emperor meant, but they didn't seem to understand what it meant.

"Father, my son will definitely work hard and not let you down."

Jia Lian, who was standing at the end of the line, heard the second prince's voice, and felt very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

"Well, if you don't understand anything, just ask Mr. Ming."

"Yes, Father."

"Old Ming, the second child has been far away from the court before, and there are many things he doesn't understand. You have to teach him well."

The cabinet bachelors and Ming bachelors walked out of the team and saluted the emperor: "Old minister obeys!"

When the other ministers heard this sentence, they gasped in shock and asked Ming Lao to teach Prince Rui? !

Ming Lao was a veteran of the three dynasties, and had more status than Grand Master Yan, but he never participated in party struggles, did not support any prince, and did not get close to any prince.

Now, the emperor wants to Ming Lao Prince Jiaorui, what does this mean?

Next, Emperor Longwu's words directly stunned the civil and military officials.
