Chapter 32 School Examination
The matter of King Qin, everyone with a discerning eye knows that it is the Gu family and the queen who took revenge on Gu Jing for being expelled home.
Now the emperor said that he had found the culprit...... The culprit is known!
How to choose the three princes, the ten princes, and the twelve princes?
In terms of feelings and interests, they must have chosen to protect the culprit.
After all, whether it's the Gu family or the queen, isn't it for them to do this?
Even if the Gu family and the queen did not expect the three princes to inherit the throne, the new monarch in the future is the tenth prince and the twelfth prince who he grew up with, can he compare with the noble concubine or other princes to inherit the throne?
But now it's the emperor who is asking.
They can't help but think about it.
You must know that the emperor's first question just now was to ask them what they had not taken care of King Qin for many days?
On this question, although the third prince was the first to answer, and he also took the responsibility on himself, in fact, it was not as good as the tenth prince's answer.
The tenth prince's sentence "I'm afraid that the eldest brother will misunderstand" not only blocked the possibility that the emperor continued to question them about their brotherhood with the King of Qin, but also gave the King of Qin an eye medicine in turn, implying that it was not that they were the younger brothers who did not feel sorry for the eldest brother, but that the eldest brother was narrow-minded, so that the younger brothers did not dare to express their concern.
It's just that the ten princes didn't expect to deal with this problem, but the emperor threw such a proposition.
Choosing to grieve King Qin, it is difficult not to fall into the dilemma of "do you have sibling affection" again; Choose to expose the truth, that ......
Not to mention how much this move is against their will, let's talk about the consequences, it is not something that they or even Yanfu Palace can afford.
The foreheads of the three princes were sweaty for a while, and after a while, the third prince said in a low voice: "Even my father and the emperor feel embarrassed, it can be seen that the matter is big, and the sons and daughters are young and ignorant, and they dare not speak well, so they ask the father to ...... Please make your own decision! ”
Chunjia looked at him forcefully, and said slowly, "So, you don't want to worry about me?" ”
The three princes were silent, and only quietly clenched their fists.
Nervousness, panic, racking of brains, helplessness, powerlessness......
All kinds of emotions stirred in his chest, and he felt generous and intense, but at the moment he touched the emperor on the throne, the snow passed away, and he didn't dare to make a mistake, and even subconsciously buried his head lower.
The identity of the prince is extremely noble, but in front of the Son of Heaven...... After all, vulnerable.
They didn't even have much time to speculate on the real purpose of the emperor's interrogation, they only thought quickly, what answer and what reaction could satisfy the Son of Heaven at this moment?
After a long time, he was still the third prince, and said with difficulty: "Father, the son is dull, stealing, stealing...... State-owned national law has family rules. ”
When he said this, the two younger brothers on his side cast stunned eyes.
The Twelve Princes quickly withdrew their gaze and bowed their heads in silence.
After a short period of silence, the tenth prince raised an objection: "My father has always been resolute, since it is difficult to decide again and again, it can be seen that ...... It's better not to announce this matter, but my father loves his eldest brother, so he feels tricky. But Erchen felt that the eldest brother, as the eldest son of the emperor, was deeply loved by his father. How can you not be considerate of your father? If the eldest brother knew about this, he would definitely approve of his father's peace of mind, rather than embarrassing his father for him alone. ”
He didn't believe that no matter how unwilling King Qin was in his heart, he could still say that the Son of Heaven was hesitant or not, and his grievances were the most important?
"Twelve?" The emperor was noncommittal, looking at his youngest son-in-law.
The Twelve Princes showed a soft expression.
Chunjia looked at it in his eyes and had a headache.
In the past two years, the ten princes and the twelve princes claimed to have been raised by the emperor himself.
But in fact, the Son of Heaven is busy with government affairs, and there are many heirs under his knees, even if the two children are raised in the side hall of the Taichu Palace, how can they be like the Divine Sect raised filial piety back then, and see the heavens with him hand-in-hand training?
Therefore, it is just to listen to the advice of the people below every once in a while, and then summon him to interrogate and encourage him.
As for the problems of the temperament and conduct of the two princes, after discovering it, although they will also teach and beat in person, they are mainly handed over to the people below to guide and advise.
After all, he's really busy.
Besides, it's not just these two sons, if they really can't grow up, they can consider other children taking over the throne, so Chunjia doesn't bother to work hard for them.
It's rare for him to be a little empty, isn't it good to go to the harem to relax and enjoy the joy of family with a favorite child like Zhaoqing?
The Son of Heaven is also a human being, and he will also feel tired.
It can't always be tied to the Ten Princes and the Twelve Princes.
It is precisely because of this that although Chunjia found out two years early that the twelve princes may have been bullied by the ten princes a lot when they were in Yanfu Palace, and they were very weak, according to the palace people's private report, at that time, in order not to say that she intended to support the twelve princes, the queen regarded the ten princes as abandoned sons, and deliberately spoiled the ten princes, and even knew that the ten princes bullied the twelve princes, but they were also gentle and mediated, and did not suppress the ten princes strongly.
In this case, it was the three princes who tried to relieve the siege of the twelve princes from time to time, so that the twelve princes were certainly afraid of the ten princes, but they really relied on the three princes.
Even if he lived in the side hall of Taichu Palace for a few years, he didn't change this trust and dependence on the three princes.
In this regard, Chunjia mentioned a few words, but seeing that the twelve princes couldn't listen, he didn't bother to care.
Originally, after he figured it out, for the selection of the prince, that is, the capable are on the top, and the mediocre are down, compared with other princes, the twelve princes have actually gotten a certain amount of favoritism.
After all, this is the prince on the jade plate.
But since he can't take advantage of this favoritism......
That's it.
Maybe this child is destined not to have the life of the Ninety-Five Supreme.
At this moment, I specifically asked, in fact, it is also because the child has been living in the side hall for the past two years, and the emperor is dissatisfied with his temperament, but this dissatisfaction is mainly due to dissatisfaction with the future prince, if you look at it purely as your own flesh and blood, in fact, the twelve princes are similar to the seven princes, and they are the most worry-free and obedient children.
Chunjia still likes it.
Therefore, give as many opportunities as possible.
It's just that the twelve princes were stared at by the emperor, but it was very unnatural, and they chattered for a while before they whispered: "Erchen...... Erchen felt that what the third brother said was extremely true. ”
He supported the three princes, and this choice did not surprise the emperor.
When the tenth prince heard this, he turned his head to look at his younger brother, as if he was a little dissatisfied.
Of course, in front of Chunjia, he didn't dare to say anything or do anything.
This move made the twelve princes tremble subconsciously, and they were obviously quite afraid of their brother so far.
Chunjia noticed it, and scolded the queen in her heart.
You must know that none of the princes in front of the queen were born to the queen, and they still developed like this.
The concubine of Xuanqing Palace has a son Jin Wang.
However, did the non-biological princes such as the King of Qin specifically bully the King of Jin? Do you feel that the concubine is not good because of this, so she favors her biological mother?
At least so far, not a single one!
Zhonggong is really incompetent!
The emperor muttered in his heart, but he didn't show it, but said lightly: "Since this is the case, then the third prince and the twelfth prince will announce the decree on their behalf and end this matter, okay?" ”
"......" The third prince's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and the twelve princes also showed a look of panic.
The brothers glanced at each other, and the third prince said in a low voice, "Father, the sons and daughters are young, but I'm afraid it's not suitable?" ”
Chunjia said lightly: "Although I am young, since I am in my bloodline, my identity is naturally noble, what is inappropriate?" ”
The third prince didn't dare to say anything more.
The Twelve Princes were even more silent.
It was the tenth prince, who thought about it for a while, and finally came out and said: "Father, this move is inappropriate, originally this matter, the most wronged is the eldest brother, if this time the father and the emperor for the eldest brother, he endured it and was embarrassed, and turned around to let the eldest brother know, wouldn't it be more and more uncomfortable?" Or did you ask the big brother how it was? ”
Chunjia glanced at him and said, "But your eldest brother is kneeling for fifteen punishments now." ”
"Erchen is willing to kneel on behalf of the eldest brother for the fifteenth brother." The Ten Princes pursed their lips and said, "Ask for permission from my father!" ”
After he said this, he quickly glanced at the three princes and the twelve princes.
The twelve princes were still ignorant, but the third prince reacted and immediately knelt down, saying that it was good to replace him, and there was no need for the ten princes: starting with the king of Qin to calm things down, this was proposed by the ten princes.
If the ten princes go to kneel, the three princes and the twelve princes may not be able to force King Qin to nod his head.
Therefore, the Ten Princes must not leave.
Chunjia was noncommittal, and let them beg for a while before the order was granted, but he did not let the third prince go to replace King Qin, but let the twelve princes go: "Twelve can't say anything, it's useless here, you just go and kneel." ”
These words are rounded off, which is equivalent to crossing out the twelve princes from the selection of the prince.
The Twelve Princes were shocked when they heard this, and they didn't dare to say anything, but they only tried their best to endure the grievances and said in a low voice: "Yes." ”
He walked out slowly.
When the three princes and the ten princes in the palace saw this, they were not happy, but showed a little sadness.
Chun Jia understands this kind of emotion, that is, the fear and anxiety that the future honor and disgrace are not in his hands, and the resulting sadness of the rabbit and the fox.
Today's twelve princes are dissatisfied with the emperor, and they basically lose the possibility of inheriting the throne.
Although they were lucky enough to stay and continue, one day they made a mistake, and they couldn't say that the monarch and the minister were also in the mind of the Son of Heaven.
The emperor had spent eight years in a similar day, and at this moment he saw his children in a similar situation, but he had no sympathy.
The example of Xiaozong is fresh in the past, and he doesn't want to be a waste of a thousand pets.
When he closed his eyes, he was pressed by the ministers, and once again called the Gongxiang clan to decline.
Moreover, Chunjia lived in the hands of the Ji family back then, and now the princes live in the hands of his father, which is much better in the emperor's opinion.
After all, Ji has no feelings for him, but whenever he finds a change, there is no possibility of keeping his hand at all, and sometimes he doesn't even need evidence, and if he suspects it, he may poison him; And he has some feelings for his own flesh and blood, as long as he is not too dead, he is still willing to spare his life.
So these children, what else is not satisfied?
Chun Jia's expression was calm, and he asked people to pass on the King of Qin.
It wasn't just King Qin, he thought about it and ordered someone to call the King of Jin outside the palace first.
