Chapter 96
Chapter 95: The prince gave up treatment (1)
On the third day of July 28th, Chengde, Yushufang.
This summer was extremely hot, and it made people feel angry.
Emperor Chengde’s sweat and light silk clothes stuck to his body, but he didn’t let anyone fan him.
In this room, all irrelevant court ladies and eunuchs have been driven out. Now, apart from Emperor Chengde in the imperial study room, only the **** Hu Zhongshun, the prime minister Su Gu, and Qingyuan Hou Zhao Wangzhi, who are the most trusted by him, are left. , And Su Moxiu, the youngest son of Su Gu, who was appointed as the top champion three years ago by Emperor Chengde and is now on duty in the Imperial Study Room.
Su Moxiu was only seventeen when he was admitted to the champion three years ago. After that, he entered the Imperial Academy and stayed for three years.
Six months ago, when Emperor Chengde was chatting with Su Gu, he learned that Su Moxiu was about to win, so he called him to his side and asked some questions.
Su Moxiu had something to say, and he was handsome. It happened that Emperor Chengde was irritated by his son at the time, so he stayed by his side and was ordered to serve in the imperial study.
In the past six months, Su Moxiu did a great job in the Imperial Study. Emperor Chengde also found that his poems, songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting were all compatible, and he liked him more and more, and gave him the fourth grade official uniform.
Emperor Chengde has a good temper. As usual, whether it is Su Gu or Zhao Wangzhi, he can talk to him freely. Hu Zhongshun will joke around. As for Su Moxiu, he rarely speaks, but every time he speaks, he can speak to Emperor Chengde’s heart. go.
Today, however, none of these people said a word, standing silently, wishing to be a stone.
Emperor Chengde’s expression was also gloomy, sitting in front of the imperial case, looking at the memorial in front of him, his chest panicked.
There was a little movement outside the Imperial Study Room, and Hu Zhongshun ran over and opened the door of the Imperial Study Room himself.
Immediately, there was a young man in his early twenties coming in from outside, wearing a green shirt bordered with gold thread, with a dragon jade pendant hanging from his waist.
This man was seven-point similar to Emperor Chengde, with a crown of jade and a tall stature. Even if it was the emperor who was going to meet with him, he had no fear on his face. After entering the imperial study, he never even knelt down, but raised his head instead. Look directly at Emperor Chengde.
This is one of the favorite sons of Emperor Chengde before, Zhou Zhen, the fifth prince born by the current empress.
Emperor Chengde was not the father of the first emperor.
The first emperor was weak, and none of the harem concubines were pregnant. In desperation, they had to adopt a child from the clan and be raised by the queen.
This child is Emperor Chengde.
The empress of the first emperor, now the empress dowager, was very kind to Emperor Chengde. Emperor Chengde was very grateful for her kindness, and when she reached the age of marrying a wife, she married her niece.
This is the first empress of Emperor Chengde. After the empress gave birth to a son and a daughter for Emperor Chengde, she died because of improper postpartum care.
At that time, the eldest prince was only two years old, crying all day long, and the newly-born little princess was even weaker like a cat. Emperor Chengde thought about going, and finally chose the scholarly family Wang’s family because his parents died and kept filial piety one after another. The eldest lady who has been delayed until the age of 22 is still unmarried.
He chose this Miss Wang, first because the Wang family has a good family style, second because the Wang family is old and stable, and third because the Wang family has been involved in successive years. The younger siblings are all raised by Miss Wang, and they are also very well-trained by Miss Wang. .
His eldest son needs such a stepmother.
Miss Wang entered the palace in this way and became the second wife of Emperor Chengde, who is now the queen.
Miss Wang looked mediocre and didn’t want to fight for favor. After entering the palace, she took care of the little prince and little princess carefully. After a few years, she became pregnant and gave birth to the fifth prince Zhou Zhen.
There were many concubines in the imperial palace of Chengde, and there were many people who gave birth to him. The appearance of the current queen among these concubines is very ordinary, but she is gentle and virtuous, with full precepts. After Emperor Chengde got older , I prefer to sit in her palace, and love her fifth prince Zhou Zhen very much.
As early as ten years ago, Emperor Chengde had named the eldest prince the prince. After that, he was even more fond of Zhou Zhen.
However, it is this love that spoils things.
Seeing that Zhou Zhen arrived and didn’t bow to salute, he looked straight at himself. Emperor Chengde got angry from his heart, picked up the memorial in front of him, and threw it away: “Nizi! Look at what good things you have done! ”
For a long time, Emperor Chengde had thrown people away, and rarely missed them. After all, no one dared to hide.
Even one day he accidentally made a mistake and didn’t throw it… He didn’t care. Those who escaped the catastrophe would probably be sincere and fearful, wishing him to throw it again to hit his forehead.
But today, the situation is very different.
The fifth prince Zhou Zhen watched the memorial flying towards him, not only didn’t meet him, but even jumped aside and avoided.
In the imperial study room, needles can be heard.
Emperor Chengde was so angry that he shook his hands: “You bastard!”
Emperor Chengde was furious, but Zhou Zhen, the fifth prince, looked nonchalant, even a little distracted.
His gaze fell behind Emperor Chengde, and Su Moxiu, who dared not raise his head, lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to his eyes.
Emperor Chengde didn’t notice this. Seeing that his son didn’t take himself to heart, he was furious: “Look at what you have done! Disrespectful brother, embezzled and accepted bribes, framed important court officials…”
“I didn’t do it.” Zhou Zhen finally said. Not only did he have a bad tone, he also interrupted Emperor Chengde’s words directly, “You have wronged me again!”
When Emperor Chengde saw him like this, his chest became even more uncomfortable: “You…”
“I want to add to the crime! This year, so much dirty water has been poured on me one after another, I can’t wash it even if I want to wash it… I quit!” Zhou Zhen grabbed his waist, only the prince could do it The panlong jade pendant he wore was thrown on the ground, “Father, you can directly demean me as a commoner! They are aiming at me everywhere, are they afraid that I will **** the throne from them? I don’t want to be the emperor at all! Who loves to be who? Dang! I’m not interested anyway!”
Zhou Zhen has committed a crime, and even beat and framed others!
Emperor Chengde grabbed the paperweight on the table and threw it at his son: “Beast!”
Zhou Zhen avoided again and sneered: “I am a beast, what are you? Father, if you don’t want to demean me as a commoner, you can detain me or let me guard the imperial tomb. ! But I beg you, don’t take things that I haven’t done to me!”
This little beast implies that he is also a beast!
Emperor Chengde has been the emperor for more than 20 years. No matter how good his temper is, because of his high position, he has always been rebellious.
Zhou Zhen had no respect for him, and he still worked against him everywhere, so that he could not wait to find someone to beat up this stinky boy severely.
But this is his son after all.
He suppressed this memorial, did not discuss it in the courtroom, and called his son in private, just for Zhou Zhen’s sake.
Never thought Zhou Zhen would look like this!
Not only Emperor Chengde was shocked, but even the other people present were also shocked.
Emperor Chengde educated his son, they didn’t want to control, and they couldn’t control it, so since the fifth prince entered the imperial study room, they all bowed their heads, just as if they didn’t exist.
But now the five princes are openly confronting Emperor Chengde… Whether it is Prime Minister Su Gu or Qingyuan Hou Zhao Wangzhi, they all looked up.
Even Su Moxiu looked over.
Then, they saw the young man who looked very much like Emperor Chengde and suddenly stretched out his hand to swear: “I, Zhou Zhen, swear here that if I have a covetous heart for the throne, I will thunder! I’m sick and I can’t kill off children and grandchildren…”
“Shut up!” Emperor Chengde stood up suddenly and threw the pen holder out this time.
“Father, what are you doing so angry? Shouldn’t you be happy when a small animal like me is dead?” Zhou Zhen flashed aside and avoided as usual.
Emperor Chengde clutched his chest, fell back sullenly, and sat on the dragon chair.
At this moment, he could no longer feel the warmth, but cold sweat broke out, and there was a chill from the bottom of his heart.
Before Zhou Zhen came, he was extremely annoyed. He felt that Zhou Zhen was too ambitious, and even made up his mind to let Zhou Zhen think behind closed doors for a year. Of course, the fines were not less.
As for those around Zhou Zhen who have broken Zhou Zhen, they must be severely punished and slain.
He made a lot of preparations, but Zhou Zhen came in to make such a fuss and issued such a poisonous oath, but he suddenly realized something.
His son was so irritated, and acted against him like this, and was so cruel to himself when he swore… Could it be that the crime really has nothing to do with him?
“Your Majesty, take a sip of tea.” A cup of tea was handed to Emperor Chengde.
Emperor Chengde took the tea and took a sip. After he took a sigh of relief, he heard Su Mo Xiu who served him tea: “Your Majesty calms down your anger, the five princes are also close to you, so they have no scruples.”
Su Gu didn’t want his son to be involved in the royal dispute, and winked at his son secretly, but Su Moxiu still stepped forward and persuaded Emperor Chengde.
When Emperor Chengde drank the tea, he took the teacup again and put it aside.
His heart beats too fast, but the hand holding the tea is still steady, with a right smile on his face.
The light from the corner of his eye couldn’t help falling on the fifth prince.
This is not the first time Su Moxiu has seen the Fifth Prince.
His father was born in a horrible way, and he was very trustworthy today. Even with him, he was treated differently by today, and he was fortunate to be on duty in the Imperial Study Room.
In the past six months, he has seen the five princes more than ten times.
Before, he only felt that the city of the Five Princes was extremely deep, and he only wanted to stay away, but today…
When he raised his head, when the fifth prince ran into his eyes, he suddenly felt different.
Seeing the five princes arguing with Emperor Chengde in such a desperate manner, his heart was even more unconscious.
He couldn’t help but worry about the five princes, lest the five princes be punished by Emperor Chengde.
Really want to be like this… how sad the fifth prince should be.
Emperor Chengde’s mind was messed up.
He faintly felt that his son might not be as deliberate as he thought, but his 20-year career as an emperor also made him annoyed by the fact that his son was acting against him.
Su Moxiu’s cup of tea made him sober, and he was down a step.
Emperor Chengde said: “You can even swear such a poisonous oath, but explain to me why your uncle wants to frame Cai Ting and deduct military expenses?”
This year, Zhou Zhen, the fifth prince, was involved in many things.
Emperor Chengde first discovered that he had secretly made friends with Juren who had entered Beijing to rush for the exam, and then immediately discovered that he had accepted the “filial piety” from many people in the court.
These are all trivial matters. Emperor Chengde helped him clean up the beginning and the end, but he couldn’t help paying more attention to him. With this attention, he found that his son was thinking very much.
This year, the prince had frequent incidents when he was doing errands, and his reputation was damaged. He had his son’s handwriting behind his back.
He was worried that the prince would remember his hatred and secretly help the child to remove many traces, but the anger in his heart became more and more prosperous. When no one was around, he reprimanded the child many times.
I don’t want this child to admit his mistakes or say nothing, and the methods are getting more and more intense.
This time, the cause of this incident was that someone revealed that Cai Ting and the soldiers in the army did not have enough food or clothing.
Cai Tinghe is the uncle of the prince and the important minister in the court. At this time, the matter was of great importance, so he found someone to check it secretly.
He hadn’t found out the matter yet. The fact that Cai Tinghe deducted military expenses and filled his private pockets has spread, and some people have submitted criminal evidence.
The officials in the DPRK were furious and begged him to punish Cai Tinghe severely, but he could only imprison Cai Tinghe.
However, just today, the person he sent to investigate sent a secret document. It turned out that Cai Tinghe was framed, and the person who framed Cai Tinghe was Zhou Zhen’s uncle!
He was so disappointed for a while that he even called Zhou Zhen despite the fact that Su Gu and Zhao Wangzhi were still there.
As a result, Zhou Zhen made such a fuss!
When Emperor Chengde asked this, he stared at Zhou Zhen, waiting for Zhou Zhen’s answer.
The queen today is the eldest daughter in the family, and there are two younger brothers and two younger sisters, both of whom are from the same mother.
After she became a queen, both of her younger sisters were married into a high school, and her two younger brothers also learned a lot. Now they are both officials in the court.
These two Wangs have a good reputation, but when they were young, they were almost all raised by the queen, so they obeyed the queen’s words, and they were also very good to Zhou Zhen’s nephew.
If Zhou Zhen asked them to do something, they would definitely do it.
Zhou Zhen said: “How do I know! Father, you want to ask, go to my uncle! You want to check, go to my uncle!”
When Emperor Chengde heard this, his face turned black.
Zhou Zhen said again: “There is just another person who is framing me. Father, you don’t believe me! You think I will fight for the throne with your elder brother! I think that the eldest brother’s accident was caused by me! But I didn’t do anything!”
“You… the evidence is solid!”
Emperor Chengde said that Zhou Zhen could say a few words here: “It is said that Cai Ting and the murdered evidence are solid. Didn’t you also find out that he was framed? Now that I am framed, why don’t you check it out? Why do you insist that I did it?”
Emperor Chengde was silent.
Zhou Zhen said again: “I don’t care about this throne anyway! If you don’t believe me, I can swear again!”
“Shut up!” Emperor Chengde said angrily. No one who is a father would like to hear what his son said, “Heaven thunders and cuts off children and grandchildren.”
“I swear if you don’t believe me, then you can take me out! So you don’t have to worry about me grabbing the throne with my eldest brother!” Zhou Zhen said again.
“Go against you!” Emperor Chengde stood up and wanted to beat his son.
At this time, Zhou Zhen said again: “Actually, the oath of’cut off children and grandchildren’ is not poisonous to me. I like men and have no feelings about women. I won’t have children anymore, what am I doing as an emperor!”
“What nonsense are you talking about!”
“I’m not talking nonsense, I’m telling the truth! Anyway, in my life, I won’t marry a wife!” Zhou Zhen said.
“I’ll beat you to death!” Emperor Chengde really did it now, and he didn’t have anything to take advantage of, so he chased Zhou Zhen to fight.
Even Zhou Zhen dared to hide!
Emperor Chengde was getting older. After chasing a few laps in the imperial study room, he panted and said immediately, “You can stop him for me!”
Su Gu and the others were bitter, but didn’t dare to resist their orders. They could only drag a handful of old bones, trying to stop the young and strong fifth prince who was slippery than a monkey.
They are really hell…The five princes who have always been gloomy and don’t like talking, just keep talking back, even if your majesty wants to beat him, he dare to hide!
