"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! ……”

"Please ask the emperor to decide! Please be gracious to the emperor! ”

……

"What's going on outside today?" Wang Chang picked up the teacup brought by Jin Shang with his right hand, took a sip of Junshan silver needles, and continued to say without raising his head while flipping through the book.

"Emperor Qiqi, it's the official department Shangshu and the Duke of Eguo, who are kneeling outside." Jin Shang took the teacup with a white jade plate and said cautiously.

"What else?" Wang Chang continued to ask.

"And Prince Duan of the Zongren Mansion has also come over."

"It's really neat." Wang Chang turned over on the couch and said.

"Your Majesty, it's time for you to meet them for a while. A kingdom cannot be without a king for a day. Jin Shang said worriedly.

Wang Chang turned around, picked up, stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll meet them today."

"The emperor's ......" Cui Huan, the secretary of the ministry, was still crying, only to hear the sound of "sque......ak", the door of the Zichen Hall suddenly opened to both sides, and now the holy Wang Chang was wearing court clothes and walked out with the help of the deacon and eunuch.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, are you alright? The crowd was still crying and screaming, but in an instant, all of them turned to their earnest concern for the Holy One.

"I'm sorry for all Aiqing, I'm fine." Wang Chang coughed twice, and then continued: "All Aiqing are flat, get up."

So, more than a dozen people, including Cui Yu, Duke E Guogong and Prince Duan, stood up, thinking that they had been kneeling for a long time, and Prince Duan was a little unstable and staggered.

"Someone, give Prince Duan a seat." Wang Chang sat on the dragon chair carried by the guards, and at the same time ordered someone to bring another chair and asked Prince Duan to sit down.

"I've been a little tired these days, so the things of the previous dynasty are a little hard, and you Aiqing have worked hard for me, I don't know what you have to do here today?" Wang Chang took the teacup handed over by the deacon and eunuch, and took another sip of Longjing Road before the rain.

"Emperor Qi, the eleven princes and eight princes are blunt in qualifications and don't know arithmetic, and now that they have answered the arithmetic questions of the seven princesses of Taibai Kingdom incorrectly, then I hope that the emperor will allow them to withdraw from the horse candidates, and no longer pursue it?" Cui Yu knelt down.

"That's right, it's right! I remember that the third prince is your Cui Shangshu's nephew. Wang Chang nodded in agreement.

Everyone wanted to laugh when they heard this, but they gritted their teeth desperately to hold back. Cui Yu's face turned red and white for a while, and Shane got up.

"Your Majesty, there is one more matter, please make a clear judgment today." Prince Duan got up and arched his hand.

"Oh, what do you want to hear?" Wang Chang pretended not to know a serious way.

"Your Majesty," the more than a dozen people who had originally stood up knelt down in front of Wang Chang in unison.

Prince Duan continued to arch his hand: "Your Majesty, since the founding of our dynasty, we have established the country with agriculture, in order to prevent the previous dynasty from overturning, Emperor Taizu ordered that future generations will never be allowed to engage in business, nor be allowed to study arithmetic. Your Majesty, this is the foundation of our dynasty, and I hope Your Majesty will learn from it. ”

"Well, Prince Duan has never forgotten his ancestral teachings, and I have never forgotten them." Wang Chang said with emotion.

"I beg Your Majesty to punish you explicitly, the thirteenth prince blatantly violated the ancestral teachings, secretly learned the algorithm, and tried in vain to shake the foundation of our dynasty, and asked the emperor to be clear." More than a dozen people said in unison.

When Wang Chang heard this, he couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart: These turtle bastards! If any of you did not secretly invite an actuary to the house to teach the descendants of the heirs, it is nothing more than that the skills are not as good as others, and the people invited are not as clever as the thirteen princes, if any of you answer the question correctly, see how you speak.

Wang Chang still said quietly: "What evidence do you have for Aiqing?"

"Your Majesty," a man took a step forward and knelt down in the front row, lowered his head and dragged a figure above his head with both hands, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, there is an autograph drawn by Rong Xiu, the second director of the Treasury of the Prefecture, and he personally admitted that the Thirteenth Prince had borrowed a senior actuary of the Treasury in the name of the coming-of-age ceremony ten days ago, and this person's name was Shang.

Wang Chang took a closer look, and it turned out to be Xun Hui of Dali Temple: You said Xun Hui, Xun Hui, haven't you always been impartial and law-abiding, and you are quite smart? Why are you going to go through this troubled water today? It seems that this matter is very sloppy.

"Someone, send the thirteenth prince and the merchant to the Zichen Hall for questioning."

Everyone muttered in their hearts: Why are you asking here? Isn't it handed over to the Zongren Mansion or Dali Siqing for trial? It seems that the emperor still takes care of the queen's face.

Before the eunuch who had passed the message had time to get out of the courtyard, he heard someone outside shouting to see His Majesty.

"Let him in."

Wang Chang looked at the person fixedly, it turned out to be Taifu Chen Hua, and thought to himself that there was still a turning point in this matter, but he didn't know that this Chen Hua was going to use death advice (Yunmengguo rules, a minor prince commits a crime, if his teacher is willing to die, then the prince's death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime is light, and the thirteenth prince's coming-of-age ceremony has not yet been held, so he is considered a minor)? Or is there another trick?

Chen Hua looked left and right, glanced at the princes and ministers around him with his spare eyes, knelt down in front of the saint and said, "I heard that Your Majesty's holy body is against harmony, and the five ministers are inexplicable. It is deeply comforting to see the face of heaven today. ”

When the people who were originally kneeling heard this, where is this? What kind of medicine is sold in Mrs. Chen's gourd?

"Xie Aiqing remembers!" Wang Chang replied.

"Your Majesty, the weather is very good today, and Weichen specially brought a puzzle to learn from Your Majesty." Chen Hua continued to say unhurriedly.

At this time, the kneeling Duke of E couldn't hold back, interrupted Mrs. Chen's words and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are here today to kneel down and ask Your Majesty to deal with national affairs.

Chen Hua pretended not to hear, took out something from his arms, and asked the guards to hand it to the emperor.

Wang Chang opened it and saw that it was a birthday gift he gave Wang Zizhao on his eighth birthday - a map of Yunmeng Kingdom. I just felt that there was something strange about this map, and I couldn't say it for a while, so I spread it out in the sun and looked at it carefully.

Seeing that the saint was silent, everyone didn't dare to say anything, and suddenly, Prince Duan next to him asked loudly: "Bold Taifu Chen, who dares to destroy the birthday gift given by His Majesty to the Thirteenth Prince, what crime should he be guilty of?!" It turned out that every time the prince of the favored concubine in the harem had his birthday, Prince Duan would personally come to congratulate him on behalf of the Zongren Mansion, so he knew this map.

Chen Hua was unmoved, and continued: "Your Majesty, on the eighth birthday of the thirteenth prince, you saw that the child didn't like to play the game of pitching pots with the princes, so you gave him a puzzle. Later, you handed him over to me and asked me to teach him astronomy and geography, the foundation of statecraft, and the art of kingship. The thirteenth prince doesn't like to study geography and can't always remember the names of various Lufu prefectures and counties, so you give him a map of Yunmeng Kingdom. The thirteenth prince did not dare to live up to your expectations of him, and carried it in his arms every day, reciting it in the morning and evening. Do you remember that? ”

Referring to the past, Wang Chang sighed infinitely, indeed, Wang Zizhao has attached great importance to feelings since he was a child, and whatever he gives will definitely be loved and cherished.

When everyone heard it, this was playing the emotional card, but how to explain this broken map?
