The three kings of Qin followed Chunjia into the study either happily or uneasily.
He was happy, of course, because the emperor had solved the matter that had troubled King Qin for a long time in just two sentences, and he was clearly on his son's side; but he was worried, because King Jin had just been kicked out.
Just after entering the door, King Qin took the lead and knelt eastward: "Father, my fifteenth brother..."
"That kid has been bastard for a day or two." Chunjia waved his legs and asked them to ignore King Jin for now, "Let's go east."
After giving seats to his three sons, the emperor rarely looked at the three biological flesh and blood one by one carefully.
The eldest son, King Qin, was the oldest, and Ruming was also the tallest. He had sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes. Although he had been pampered since childhood, he had never encountered any setbacks. Ruming still had a childish look in his eyebrows, but he was also pampering himself, and gradually He has cultivated a majestic air that belongs only to the nobles of Tianhuang.
Of course, in front of the emperor, the majesty was a little too immature, and it felt a bit like a grown-up child in my family.
Among the seven princes up to the Ming Dynasty, Chunjia was the most handsome in appearance, and he was recognized for his elegant literary talent. Because he has not yet been crowned king, he is now wearing regular clothes; and because he has not accompanied his eldest brother to plead guilty, he does not dare to dress too gorgeously, and he is afraid that being too simple will lead to bad luck, so he wears a cyan brocade robe, which looks elegant.
Chunjia looked at him and remembered the rumors about the palace ban that she had heard, and wondered whether the seventh prince looked like him before he ascended the throne.
Looking at it, Ruming couldn't help but feel that the rumors made sense.
At that time, he was hiding his power and biding his time. If he didn't know his identity, he behaved like an ordinary nobleman.
He is not the kind of aristocratic son who looks spoiled and caressing his legs but has no power to tie a chicken.
The seventh prince has a calm temperament and a quiet personality. If it weren't for the fact that brothers who share the same mother's concubine's knee are generally restless, he himself never causes trouble.
Is this the kind of worry-free heir that is most popular among parents
Because of that son, the emperor briefly thought of his biological mother, Concubine Wen Huixian.
To be honest, his impression of Yin Xuan has faded away.
I remember that when the concubine first entered the palace, she was beaten by the concubine, and later she did some things about whether to compete for favor... Originally, relying on her family background, it was not difficult to hate the concubine, so it was not difficult to find a place in the palace. .
But when it comes to difficult labor, people say it’s gone.
Later, Yin Qu unexpectedly handed over his grandson to the care of the imperial concubine...
The emperor composed himself, recovered his thoughts, and turned to the Ninth Prince.
This son is the most neglected son in front of the imperial concubine.
After all, there is the eldest son, King Qin, and the youngest son, King Jin, and the seventh prince has Yin Qu to help him. Does the ninth prince really have nothing... I didn't expect Mingyue to make Chunjia look at him with admiration.
The Ninth Prince is handsome... but is he compared to ordinary people
Between brothers, they are the kind of people who have more than enough.
Like the seventh prince, he was not crowned king, so he wore regular clothes in court, but he wore an indigo brocade shirt, a jade belt and a gold crown. He looked noble and gorgeous, and his lips were red and his teeth were red.
The emperor looked at him for a moment, and suddenly said: "I didn't even want to go to the household department that my mother and concubine chose for me, so much so that the Secretary of the household department personally came to me... I will deny our eldest brother's business tomorrow. Isn't he diligent? ?”
The Ninth Prince did not dare to say that he was lazy in front of his father, and said with a smile: "As for my father, I heard the elder brother being discussed outside and felt unhappy. Then..."
"Then some of our brothers came up with bad ideas and actually forced me to come to the palace in front of everyone?" The emperor snorted.
The Ninth Prince refused to admit it: "If you go back to your father, how dare your sons and ministers to persecute your father? Are your sons and ministers helpless? After all, who doesn't know that the eldest brother is the eldest son of his father, and he has always been favored by his father? With that status, those confinement boys and those ministers were like crazy, not afraid of red dirt, and couldn't wait to impeach the eldest brother... Father, don't you know that even Qiongjiu Palace didn't discuss it in those two months? One after another, they spoke so bluntly that the eldest brother seemed to be a heinous person! Let’s not say that the cheap maid was bribed to frame the eldest brother. Even if the eldest brother really acted on a whim and did something he shouldn’t have done, with his father, emperor, mother and concubine here, Is it their turn to give instructions to Bronze Foot?"
"They behave like that, are they doing it on purpose and deliberately bringing shame on their father, the emperor, mother and concubines!"
"I thought, if that's the case, why don't I just go and plead guilty myself, so as not to continue making noise in front of my father?"
Chunjia said with a half-smile but not a smile: "I am a good younger brother. I am thoughtful for my elder brother."
"I don't dare." The Ninth Prince said cautiously, "If I think that my eldest brother has done anything wrong, my father, the emperor, mother and concubines will naturally punish me, and my younger brothers will also give advice. It is not the turn of outsiders to be nagging. ?”
The emperor glanced at King Qin next to him, and saw that he looked at him with approval and eagerness, and couldn't help but feel angry.
He thought to himself that these two children were obviously raised by the same mother and concubine, and even the King of Qin received more attention and cultivation. How could they be so stupid
To this day, you haven't noticed that the Ninth Prince is stepping on his eldest brother to attract his father's attention. He even thinks that the Ninth Prince is helping him shut up
It's not typical to be sold and need help counting the money.
"Xiao Qi, what do I think?" The emperor was heartbroken and even thought of his successor Xiaozong.
Because he was the only legitimate son, he was not the eldest son. It was said that he was taken around by Shenzong and pampered in every possible way since he was a child. He taught him through words and deeds from the time he could remember... It turned out that he taught a prince to be a prince. He was widely praised when he was the emperor. After becoming emperor, he was controlled by the Ji family in everything. He was a mediocre emperor who died in depression.
Chunjia had previously thought that it was because Shenzong was not the kind of emperor who could be a promising king but was not good at training his children.
Ru Ming looked at King Qin and suddenly felt, could it be that the environment that was too pampering was destined to be unable to raise viable heirs
Is it possible that he has the same bad fate as Shenzong, and does not have the blessing of having an heir to inherit the throne
That's absolutely wrong!
Chunjia calmed down, so he asked the seventh prince, "What do I think about Mingyue?"
The seventh prince was stunned for a moment, then said immediately: "If you go back to your father, it's not my son's fault. I spent those few months in school and failed to pay attention to the dilemma that my eldest brother is facing in time..."
In fact, because of his life experience and temperament, the seventh prince is considered to be one of the more popular among the emperor's heirs.
He should not ignore the affairs of King Qin.
But at that time, King Qin was very confident and said that his father, the emperor, his mother and his concubine would solve the problem. The seventh prince was also confident that his father, emperor and mother, and his concubine would solve the problem, so he did not ask any more questions.
It wasn't until the Ninth Prince came to persuade me that I got involved.
Of course the emperors knew this, but they actually praised Yidong's son for his kindness.
But Chunjia remained calm and continued: "Let's not talk about that. I just want to ask me, what do we brothers think if one of us comes to the palace specifically to persecute me tomorrow?"
"The sons and ministers don't dare to reply to the emperor." The seventh prince said in succession, "Do the sons and ministers want to share the worries of the father, the emperor, mother and concubine?"
Chunjia said: "Oh? Share the worries? Then, does the King of Qin really want me to strip him of his title and demote him to a commoner?"
Seeing King Qin nodding his head without hesitation, the emperor was speechless again.
Of course he knew that the eldest son could not be willing to lose his title over such a trivial matter.
With such a quick nod, it can be said that the King of Qin believed in his brothers, as well as the emperor and the noble concubine, and believed that these people could not let him lose his title for this.
"Am I my biological father, and am I my adoptive mother who raised me with my own hands? As an elder, of course you can't give up on me, but do I trust my younger brothers so much?" Chunjia sighed in her heart, feeling that she had been there before. Whether he thinks that the eldest son is not suitable to be the crown prince, Ru Ming looks at it, King Qin no longer thinks that the eldest son is not suitable to be the crown prince, so it is a bit uncertain whether he will become a vassal king, and he may be sold by his shrewd brother one day. ah!
What did he and the imperial concubine do wrong to teach such an emperor's eldest son
Chunjia cursed in his heart and said, "If that's the case, how about we just turn around and demote the King of Qin as we wish?"
Hearing this, the seventh prince and the ninth prince were stunned, and said in unison: "Father, no!"
King Qin also stayed for a while, but he did not panic, but said: "My father has a destiny, and I dare not disobey it! But before leaving the palace, Rong Erchen said goodbye to his mother and concubine in person."
"A bunch of bastards, they just rely on the concubine's favor to beg and kidnap me!" Chunjia mistakenly knew what he was thinking, and cursed in his heart, "I wonder if you know that the concubine will definitely protect us. I really thought that I would not give us a long life." memory?!"
He said calmly: "You have already said that you dare not disobey me. I don't want me to see the imperial concubine. How should I treat her?"
King Qin did not panic, so he whispered: "I will obey the holy orders!"
His mother-in-law was so powerful. Even if she couldn't cry and complain about her grievances in person, how could she hide such a big thing
Chunjia cursed "bastard" again in his heart, and then said: "What will happen to the King of Jin tomorrow? There are no rules! When all the ministers are kneeling, he is laughing and joking, showing no decency!"
"Father, the fifteenth brother is young..." The seventh prince Dong consciously begged, but he was scolded by the emperor after he said one sentence: "Don't always use your youth as a cover! The fifteenth brother is already eight years old, and he has already entered school. It’s been two years, and he’s still very young and ignorant? What’s the point of letting him go to school! If he’s still ignorant and ignorant after two years of studying, then what can I do for the many teachers I hired for him? "
Then he said, "When King Qin and Zhao Qing were eight years old, they didn't find so many things for me!"
The seventh prince smiled and said: "Father, when the eldest brother and eldest sister were eight years old, they didn't have the opportunity to go to court! It was the first time for the fifteenth brother to go to court. I couldn't help but be curious. Is it because those brothers didn't give me some advice? Because of him. I really hope that my father will be magnanimous and not argue with my fifteenth brother."
The Ninth Prince also said: "No, Father, the fifteenth brother is only eight years old after all. Although summer has entered, the cold has not dissipated yet. If the fifteenth brother has been kneeling outside for a long time, he may be in bad health." .When the time comes, will your father, the emperor, mother and concubine be very distressed?"
He deliberately emphasized the word "mother and concubine" to remind the emperor that he is not your son!
Both younger brothers had spoken, and King Qin finally found an opportunity to intervene and said: "Father, didn't you say earlier that all of your sons and ministers are your flesh and blood? If you don't feel sorry for your sons and ministers, who will you feel sorry for? Fifteenth brother He is also your flesh and blood, please remember that he is the first offender and don’t care about it, okay?”
Chunjia said slowly: "If we don't punish Fifteen, it's not impossible. It's a disgrace in front of the emperor. If not, it would appear to be too indulgent to us. If not, we would be too indulgent. I originally planned to make Fifteen kneel down." A full four hours..."
"My son is willing to be punished on behalf of my fifteenth brother!" Before he could finish speaking, King Qin took the lead and said, "My son is the eldest brother, so he should protect his younger brothers. Besides, if the incident of Mingyue didn't happen because of my son, what kind of punishment would there be? How can I teach my younger brothers to be wronged if I am a son-in-law?"
The Seventh Prince and the Ninth Prince were a step slower, but they also expressed their willingness to share the burden for their eldest brother and younger brother.
