Xie Lin stayed in front of Bai Guo's couch for an hour, and fed him half a cup of hot porridge with his own hands. After seeing Bai Guo fell into a deep sleep, he gently stroked his hair, then slowly lowered his eyes, and looked at the sleeping man again. two children.

The younger brother is well-behaved, he sleeps peacefully, neither noisy nor troublesome, very lovable.On the contrary, the elder brother who rushed to the birth first was extremely dishonest, and he could be seen in his sleep unwilling to be lonely, using his hands and feet to shake the swaddling clothes. She was wrapped up tightly by the old mother with quick eyes and hands.

"Don't let him disturb the concubine." Xie Lin frowned slightly, pointing to the eldest son and the old mother, "If he is not honest, give him another room to stay."

The smile on the old mother's face was stifled, and she was still puzzled. May I ask whose eldest son was not confessed by the baby when he was born?How come it's the turn of King Jing's mansion, the eldest son is not as good as the well-behaved youngest son next to him, and it's all right, and even made his father despise him.

But the slander is the slander, the old mother didn't dare to express anything on the face, and only asked the servants in the house to carefully tidy up the rooms that had been prepared for the young masters before, and hurriedly put the young master and the young master who seemed to be extremely hungry. The young master carried him to the warm pavilion next door, and went to find a nurse to nurse him.

The news of the birth of the two little masters in Prince Jing's Mansion spread throughout the capital not long after the early morning. Emperor Jin Yuan knew that what happened last night had wronged Prince Jing and his wife. On the one hand, he was happy that his four sons had a queen. , On the one hand, there was some guilt, so the rewards were bestowed like flowing water, and boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin entered the gate of Prince Jing's mansion overnight like no money.

In the early morning of the next day, the civil and military marquises of the Manchu Dynasty were waiting for the morning court in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and saw that the place where King Jing had been standing was empty.

When everyone asked the palace servants who served the emperor closely, they learned that this highness had taken paternity leave early, and went to the palace to accompany the princess to rest.

All the courtiers: "..." I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it.

The dignified Prince Jing, who had always had a reputation for being too violent, actually fell into the hands of a pair of children.

However, some people sighed and said: "If the first wife in the family can give birth to twins, I will also ask for leave."

The people around him laughed at him and said: "You are considered cheap, you have different fates, so don't think about those who have what you have and what you don't have."

Just kidding, the fact that Prince Jing's mansion got a little emperor's grandson just gave the courtiers something to talk about, but the major fraud case that was uncovered in the palace examination yesterday is the most important thing in the court today!

Emperor Jin Yuan sat on the Golden Luan Hall with a sullen face, and the crown prince Xie Zhaochang knelt in front of the hall, silent.

"The procurator and the governor of Jingzhao prefect have an audience with the commissioner."

After being secretly tortured for a day and a night, the students and officials who participated in the fraudulent imperial examinations finally revealed everything they knew. The hateful Liang Liyuan, who was a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion for more than [-] years, came to the old Suddenly, he became greedy, and he accepted bribes with the two censors, and did such evil things against the character of scholars!

Yin of Jingzhao Mansion slowly stated what Liang Liyuan had explained. Emperor Jin Yuan was furious when he heard about it. An inner prisoner outside the hall hurriedly ran into the hall, and said in a trembling voice: "Master Liang committed suicide by biting his tongue in prison!"

As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military officials of the court sighed in an uproar. The crown prince Xie Zhao lowered his head and wondered what he was thinking. Only King Yu twitched his lips secretly, and then put on a shocked look.

Emperor Jin Yuan was one of the first three, and his anger towards Liang Liyuan was directly escalated to the entire Liang family. Copying the family was a small matter, but punishing the nine clans was a major matter. When it came time to shake the roots of the imperial court, they did not act rashly, while the immediate family members of the Liang family did not have that good luck.

As for the other large and small officials who were implicated in this matter, they were even demoted, and those who were asked to be executed were asked to be executed.And those students who directly participated in favoritism and fraud were even more miserable. Not only were they about to lose their lives, but their families were also implicated, and they were no longer allowed to participate in scientific examinations within three generations.

More than a dozen imperial edicts were issued in a hurry, and none of the Chaowen Wu dared to ask Li to explain clearly to his acquainted colleagues who were implicated, for fear of getting burned.Emperor Jin Yuan was in a bad mood, and now he looked at His Highness Xie Zhao who was still kneeling upright, knowing that the prince was just deceived by an adulterer and had no fault, but he still couldn't help expressing his anger: "What else can the prince say? "

The prince knelt for a long time, his knees almost lost consciousness, he did not raise his eyes to look at his father, who was high above the palace, but said in a calm voice: "The imperial examination is intended to gather talents from all over the world. It is a sloppy method, which distorts the original intention of the scientific examination, and its inferiority must be matched by severe punishment, so as to imitate all officials and students in the world. However, the ministers also think that the case is so important that the participants should be punished, and those who neglect their duties should also be punished."

"His Royal Highness!"

"His Royal Highness, speak with caution!"

The civil and military officials were taken aback by Xie Zhao's words, but Xie Zhao seemed to be determined: "The emperor broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. I also ask the father to punish the child."

Emperor Jin Yuan didn't expect that his prince, who usually looked indecisive, seemed to have a hard bone at this moment, and couldn't bend down no matter what, he couldn't help laughing angrily: "You think I dare not punish you?!"

Xie Zhao raised his face slowly, but it was full of innocence and bitterness.

Emperor Jin Yuan was taken aback for a moment, but for some reason he thought of his empress Yuan who died young. Although he was disgusted by the Ning family, he really had a deep friendship with his original wife, and Xie Zhao was the son of him and empress Yuan. He said that in the past few years, he has become more and more estranged from the prince, but there is still a trace of father-son affection deep in his heart.

Xie Zhao probably also saw that Emperor Jin and Yuan couldn't bear it, but the affection of a loving father is rare, so why not use the emperor's affection once and for all?With a sigh in his heart, Xie Zhao finally took a step back, bent his knees and took two steps forward in front of the hall, kowtowing to the majestic emperor in the hall and said: "I have been in charge of the palace for more than [-] years, but my son's talent is not enough, so it's hard for me to take on a big job. Now there is The supervisor of the scientific examination fraud case has neglected his duty, and the minister is really shameless in the hall. I want to beg Your Majesty's grace, please resign from the crown prince, and I have to let the minister leave the court and return to the field at leisure."

"I beg my father to be perfect." Knock again.

When Emperor Jin Yuan was furious, he had indeed stripped Xie Zhao of his position as prince, but he never expected that there would really be someone in this world who would be so willing to give up the position of being under this person and above ten thousand people!

Unable to tell whether it was anger or anxiety, Emperor Jin Yuan glared at His Highness the Crown Prince who had made up his mind, his face dark as ink: "Want me to fulfill you? Well, I will fulfill you this time! Proclaim my will, and today the Crown Prince Zhao has overlooked First... I lost my heart, so I took away the crown prince, and choose another day as the crown prince!"

As soon as the words came out, all the officials were in an uproar, and Emperor Jin Yuan suddenly regretted a little bit in his heart, but how could the emperor take back his golden words, so he could only take it as anger, and dared not look at His Highness Xie Zhao, let alone listen to those civil and military officials The persuasive words, just go away.

……

"How unreasonable! How unreasonable!"

Returning to his dormitory, Emperor Jin Yuan kicked away the servant beside him who was about to carefully change his clothes, and swung the vase close to him with his hand. Twenty years after he ascended the throne, he has never been so angry as he is today.

After all the surrounding porcelain was smashed to pieces, Emperor Jin Yuan still felt puzzled, so he just asked someone to declare the prince... Oh no, it was the eldest prince who came to kneel in front of the Qinzheng Hall.

As a result, the little half stick of incense passed by, the eldest prince Xie Zhao failed to come, but the Queen Mother Zhao who seldom appeared in the previous court was ushered in.

"My son, you are trying to kill your mother!" The Empress Dowager Zhao's eyes were red, as if she had cried a lot.She was already old, and her body was poor. She came all the way, and it was even more mobilizing. She immediately threw herself next to Emperor Jin Yuan, crying, "What did the prince do? It's worth your effort!" Trample him into the mud! That good-looking boy who celebrated his birthday yesterday, why was he trampled into such a state today..."

Emperor Jin Yuan believed that Xie Zhao had been making trouble for him in the court today. He just asked a few words, but what came up there was either "Father, kill me" or "I won't inherit the family business, I don't want to do it." If it's gone", which father wouldn't be pissed off?

What's more, he didn't beat or kill him. At best, he was just in a hurry to follow the child's words, so why did he act against him again?

Emperor Jin Yuan felt that he had been wronged, but he wanted Xie Zhao to kneel in front of the hall as punishment, so that the other party would know his mistake, but didn't that person come to kneel yet?

But it is rare for the Empress Dowager Zhao to stand out for the sake of the younger generation, so she must have been forced into a hurry and had no choice. As expected, when Emperor Jin Yuan said, "I know, I understand, I will not punish Zhaoer to kneel outside the palace for the sake of the queen mother" , Empress Dowager Zhao staggered even more, her hair swaying non-stop.

"You said you still want him to kneel? How can you kneel? Are you being carried horizontally to kneel? You think Zhao'er is not sick enough, do you?" Queen Mother Zhao cried and said, "Emperor, you are so kind Heartless, my poor grandson, your life is really hard..."

"Sick?" Emperor Jin Yuan's heart skipped a beat, he wondered, "Isn't the master in the hall still well in the morning, why did he suddenly get sick?"

Empress Dowager Zhao touched her eyes with a brocade handkerchief, crying that the emperor was ruthless. After all, she was her own mother, and she was a mother who was usually quiet and did not cause trouble for herself. Emperor Jin Yuan had no choice but to coax Queen Mother Zhao well. , Promised that he would never beat and punish his own son for no reason, and carefully sent someone to send the Queen Mother back to Shoukang Palace, and then asked about the old slave around him.

"Prince...what's going on with Xie Zhao?"

The old slave served by Emperor Jin Yuan's side. He was a good person. As early as when the Empress Dowager Zhao came to question the emperor aggressively, she first went to the people below to inquire about the news of the East Palace.

It turned out that the prince became hot again after the palace examination yesterday, and the early exit on the queen mother's birthday was really not a deliberate evasion as others said, but today the prince even knelt in the Hall of Supreme Harmony for a long time, which is not true. It is said that as soon as the person returned to the East Palace, he couldn't hold on and passed out, and he couldn't wake up now.

All the old people in the imperial palace know that the prince's poor health was brought out from the mother's womb. When he was still alive, the prince's east palace was the place where he was treated most meticulously. It took more than ten years to raise the prince's body and bones to be no different from ordinary people, but later he passed away one after another. The prince was even entrusted with important tasks by Emperor Jin Yuan as the heir, and he was busy with court affairs everywhere, which delayed his body again. go back……

In the past year, the prince fell ill one after another. It was not that no one saw him in the palace. It was just that the emperor Jin Yuan was not concerned with his son. This made the prince who was frequently sick and tired become more and more insignificant, and the eunuchs and maids were even more perfunctory.

When Emperor Jin Yuan heard the old servant carefully telling him about the affairs of the East Palace, he couldn't help being startled, and asked, "How is Zhao'er now?"

The old slave faltered and said: "The imperial doctor saw that it was a cold, but the days since the last time he fainted were short, so this time... is especially dangerous."

Emperor Jin Yuan looked shocked, and calmly said for a while: "Ask the imperial doctor Kang to see the eldest prince. If you need any medicinal materials, you can open my private treasury. Just take it and use it..." These careless brats, Jin Although Emperor Yuan didn't feel that he was at fault, and he didn't force this matter, he still had a kind father's heart after all, so he ordered, "After the eldest prince recovers from his illness, ask him to move out of the palace. As for the mansion... …Just choose Rongwang Mansion which is the closest to the palace gate.”
