King Wen of Zhou was said to have had a hundred sons, so the Zhou royal family flourished. Guo Ziyi has eight sons and eight sons-in-law, so the Guo family is full of descendants and prosperous. As for the current emperor, there are seven or eight concubines, a total of four sons and five daughters. Zhu Jingyuan is deceased, and he is the step-family Jiuniang, and he only has two sons and a daughter. In terms of their status, it can be said that the heirs are actually a bit thin.

Therefore, when the emperor said this, there was a buzzing discussion in the Wenhua Palace.

But even if most people agree with the emperor's words - put yourself in the shoes of the Son of Heaven and Zhao Guogong, if Zhang Shou is really the son of either of the two of them, then even if they think about the heirs, they will indeed recognize people back, but ...... What if it's because the three of them were confused when they were born, so the three parties can't tell each other clearly?

And the emperor's next words made the people up and down the entire Wenhua Hall even seem to stop breathing.

"What happened back then was my fault. I thought that the world was peaceful, and I was wandering around in white dragon fish clothes all day long, and on that day I called my cousin Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing, and brought Concubine Yu and Mrs. Zhao Guo, who were pregnant with Liujia at the time, to pray in the temple, so I was coveted by the king of karma who had been looking for a vacancy. I think many of you know what happened later. ”

"But there are some things you don't know. When the situation was at its most critical, it was Concubine Yu and Mrs. Zhao Guo who gave me and Zhu Jing all the guards, and let us go over the wall first, leaving the two weak women who were pregnant to escape on their own. And on the way to escape from the back of the temple, they saw Widow Zhang who grabbed a knife to kill and escaped, so the three of them partnered, and then they worked together to kill the bloody road and escape......"

How the three daughters escaped, the emperor did not see with his own eyes, but he was a witness to the rebellion of the king, and most of the ministers knew that he himself had narrowly escaped death back then. But such a disgraceful thing, the emperor is secretive, and today he even mentioned this stubble, and everyone was naturally shocked. Some people even peeked at the Queen Mother quietly, but they didn't want the Queen Mother to just sigh, and they didn't stop it.

When the emperor said that Concubine Yu and Mrs. Zhao Guo Jiuniang fled to Zhang's house, because of excessive force, so there was a sign of childbirth, Widow Zhang went to the next door to ask Wen Po with a big belly, but Wen Po was drunk because of too much drinking, even if those Taoist gentlemen who pride themselves on being indecent and don't listen to incivility on weekdays, they all pricked up their ears at this moment and listened word by word.

It wasn't until the emperor said that Concubine Yu and Mrs. Zhao Guo almost gave birth to daughters one after another, and when he talked about Widow Zhang, he suddenly had severe pain in her abdomen. At this moment, a thought was born in everyone's hearts - the play meat is coming!

Sure enough, the next moment, I only heard the emperor say lightly: "When Widow Zhang is about to give birth, the stable woman is so drunk that she can hardly deliver the baby, and she is actually a difficult birth, Concubine Yu and Mrs. Zhao Guo, who have just struggled to give birth to a child, can't help, the only thing they can do is to give her the boiled scissors." Although she desperately gave birth to a child, she eventually lost too much blood, and she had to be orphaned on her deathbed. ”

"As for Concubine Yu and Mrs. Zhao Guo, they were naturally ashamed and heartbroken when they came back to their senses, but when they came back to their senses and went to see their children, Wen Po was already drunk to death, and the two girls were confused together, and they couldn't tell who was who."

It involves her own life experience, and her grandmother and parents are reluctant to mention it to her, and every time she talks about Chen Guzi's rotten sesame seeds, she refuses to tell him the specific inside story, Zhu Ying has listened very carefully, and only hopes to know what happened when her mother gave birth to her.

Therefore, since the emperor suddenly talked about this matter because of the second prince's questioning of Zhang Shou, she didn't care about the emperor's obvious statement that he would drag people out, and after the two chamberlains twisted the eldest prince and the second prince, they didn't immediately escort them away, but just listened attentively to what the emperor said.

But when she heard this last sentence, she was completely stunned. She subconsciously went to see Princess Yongping, but saw that the person's face was extremely calm, as if what she heard was not her own life experience. When their eyes met, she found that Princess Yongping even smiled at her, but that smile was full of bitterness, and she was suddenly shocked.

Miss Zhu is just too lazy to use her brain, and she is not really stupid, where can she not understand, although she didn't know the inside story until today, but Princess Yongping obviously didn't know where to hear about it for a long time!

It is precisely because she knows that Princess Yongping has always been at odds with her! It is probably because Princess Yongping has always suffered from gains and losses because of her life experience, so she always looks at her unpleasantly!

Zhu Ying didn't know what it was like at this time, and her eyes couldn't help but look at her father and brother, but she saw Zhu Jing's face sinking like water, and Zhu Tingfang's face was full of anger, she understood that her father was the one who knew about it, and the eldest brother was probably also the one who was kept in the dark. She didn't want to look at others anymore, she didn't want to show weakness and helplessness in front of outsiders, but unconsciously, her eyes still turned to Zhang Shou.

And this time, she immediately found that Zhang Shou was also looking at her. Looking at each other, she saw Zhang Shou smiling at her with relief, and her lips squirmed slightly. Although she is not very good at lip reading, she is like a blessing to her soul at this moment, and she understands the few words that Zhang Shou did not say.

Don't worry...... What about me......

Zhu Yingden glanced at Zhang Shou angrily. Such a big thing, you still let me not worry, besides, you yourself are also a party to that incident back then, can you still help determine whether I am the emperor or my father's daughter? Having said that, her extremely anxious mood just now seemed to have eased a lot, and she was able to calmly go to see the emperor and the queen mother.

Although the Queen Mother's gaze when she glanced at her was no different from usual, she was stunned to see a little kindness and pity; And the emperor was even more obvious, and even smiled at her apologetically.

When she went to see Zhu Jing again, she saw that her father, who had always held her in the palm of his hand since she was a child, coughed a little weakly, and his eyes were even a little guilty when he looked at her.

As for her eldest brother Zhu Tingfang, he seemed expressionless at this moment, but suddenly bumped into Zhu Jing with his elbow silently. As for her father, who has always been majestic, he suffered this slap so hard, and he didn't even frown. And what made her laugh even more was that when she saw the eldest brother coming like this, the second brother actually secretly gave her father a look.

Even so, Zhu Jing didn't move at all. Facing this scene, Zhu Ying couldn't help but feel completely better. Big brother and second brother, although you are good now, when you go back, Dad will definitely have a hard time for you to eat!

Seeing that the emperor had stopped, obviously giving everyone below time to digest, Zhu Ying suddenly said with a smile: "No wonder I have felt since I was a child that the queen mother and the emperor are like their own parents in front of me!" It seems that I am really lucky, in addition to my father and mother and eldest brother and second brother, there are other people who pet and love! ”

"In addition to my father and grandmother, I also have powerful backers that no one else can imagine, and I will see who dares to mess with me in the future!" Zhu Ying glanced around at everyone arrogantly, and saw that some of the ministers were holding their foreheads with their hands, some were avoiding their sight, some were sighing, and some were ...... Just like Ge Yong, who smiled and gave her a thumbs up, she smiled even more.

"I have two fathers, two mothers, and two grandmothers, and who else in this world can be luckier than me? Besides, compared to Ah Shou, I am really too blessed. Your Majesty, don't treat me as a child, this kind of thing should have been told to me earlier, so that I won't be sad and sad, sigh and cry, I, Zhu Ying, am not so weak! ”

Zhang Shou didn't expect Zhu Ying to compare himself, and suddenly laughed dumbly, seeing that the emperor looked ridiculous at Zhu Ying's words, he said unhurriedly: "Thank you for answering questions for the ministers." The minister didn't know his life experience since he was a child, or after he came to the capital, he heard Mrs. Zhao Guotai and Concubine Yu mention it successively, but they were not as detailed as the emperor's explanation. ”

"The crime of losing honor in front of the emperor just now, the minister confessed, but he didn't regret it. If it weren't for this Wenhua Palace, the second prince would dare to slander his mother wantonly, and the minister would definitely not only kick these few feet! As for the eldest prince......"

Zhang Shou turned his head to look at the eldest prince who was already gagged and twisted his arms, and was struggling like a prisoner, and finally said lightly: "The minister doesn't want to deal with him, but he can't tolerate him slandering the teacher." The teacher's kindness is like a mountain, please return the teacher to justice! ”

Hearing Zhang Shou say this, Zhu Ying was keenly aware of the pun in that language, and saw that the emperor's eyes when he looked at the eldest prince were obviously a little murderous, so she muttered angrily: "One is just speculation and nonsense." One is a parrot, nine times out of ten he directly paints a gourd to say the words passed on to him by others, and the trapped beast is still fighting, desperate. ”

"But when did Ah Shou's mother and Grandpa Ge offend them! To be so humiliated by them! ”

Pretending not to hear Zhu Ying's obviously very loud muttering, Zhang Shou lowered his head and said word by word: "The minister can have today, it is inseparable from the grace of the first mother's childbirth, the grace of the adoptive mother's nurturing, Yingying's favor and recommendation, and the support of the students, but it is also inseparable from the teacher's teaching and support, so that he can see the emperor." ”

"Thank you for the emperor's life experience as a minister today. But then ......"

This time, the emperor finally didn't wait for Zhang Shou to reveal Ge Yong's name again. Just kidding, it's true that he was Zhang Shou's teacher, but Ge Yongna is also his teacher! If his eldest son, who had been completely disappointed, had his face and reputation swept away like this, wouldn't all his respect for teachers have become a joke?

He coughed heavily and interrupted Zhang Shou's words.

"Now that he has been expelled from the clan, then, from now on, he can no longer be called a prince. Since Zongzheng Temple is full of holes, anyone can mix in and give him a sinner to ventilate, so send people to Chengde Huangzhuang and let him go to cultivate by himself, without labor and food, and taste the hardships of farmers! ”

"The son doesn't teach, the father's fault, for his own selfishness, he even slandered my teacher, the old lady Ge who should be called the ancestor, I, a father, is not only shameless, but also dereliction of duty! I will personally copy the entire Book of Rites and give it to the clan to teach them to respect teachers in the future! ”

"As for his disrespect for his teachers and slander, he has studied in vain for more than ten years! In the future, when the farm is not working, I will urge him to copy the Book of Rites a thousand times, and if the copy is less than 50 pages a day, he will not be given water and rice! ”

At this moment, the ministers were in an uproar. Even Yue Shanchang originally followed the words mentioned by the eldest prince, and wanted to try to see if he could shake Ge Yong's prestige and influence on the emperor, but at this time, he was extremely glad that he did not rush into it.

Where did the eldest prince think that his father would drop him like this, and his face suddenly became like a white cloud in the sky - in fact, his feet were like stepping on a light white cloud, so soft that he couldn't even stand if no one helped him.

Locked up in Zongzheng Temple, although others know that he should be finished, at least he won't be overly deducted from food and clothing, he is just like a trapped beast. But once he was thrown to the Huangzhuang to farm, what face did he have? With his little ability, how can he farm? He has a few more days to live!

And farming is not counted, his father even ordered him to copy books, how much effort does it take to copy fifty pages a day? And if he doesn't copy fifty pages, he will be cut off from his diet! When he has copied the book of rites a thousand times, will not his hand be cut off?

However, even though he was sad and angry, even if he was crazy, his arms were twisted and his mouth was blocked by a cloth, and he could neither struggle nor roar, and when he was in trouble just now, he thought that he might be able to provoke the anger of his father, and chose a wiser path than the second prince, but he felt that at this moment he was so downtrodden that he was not as good as a wild dog.

But when he heard his father's next words, his heart, which was about to be burned by anger, was suddenly balanced.

"As for the second child, thanks to you, I can finally make the life stories of Mingyue, Yingying and Zhang Shou public, and save the streets and alleys all the speculation, so I will soon make it into a popular excerpt!" The emperor paused as he spoke, and then laughed and said, "Zhang Shou is right just now, the prostitute sees the adulterous, and the evil sees the evil, then you should go and reflect on your lewdness!" ”

"I wanted to wait until mid-October to let you go, but now I don't have to...... Immediately escorted to Tianjin, and let people prepare a boat to send him to Qiongzhou Mansion! If he couldn't plant the whole island of Qiongzhou Mansion with the sacred tree that could cure malaria, he wouldn't have to come back in his life! ”

The whole island is planted with sacred trees......

At this moment, even Zhang Shou, who knew best how big Hainan Island was in the future, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. You know, if he took a car from Haikou to Sanya, it took a long time! Not to mention the three princes alone, even if it is 10,000 people, it is difficult to say how much time it will take to plant Hainan Island with cinchona trees. Because transplanting with a change of environment has a survival rate!

And the emperor's thunder did not end there, but said word by word: "The prince is not knighted without merit, this is the old system of Taizu, but in the years since, it has gradually become an empty letter because of the preference of the Son of Heaven." Although there is no prince, these princes go out, not to mention the princes and nobles, even the ministers have to pay three points, it is simply in vain that Emperor Taizu's hard work is wasted! ”

"From now on, the prince's clan will take the quarterly examination four times a year, the big exam once, the quarterly exam three times unqualified, the suspension of Zonglu, the big exam twice failed, and the genealogy will be removed! As for the two ...... in front of you One has been removed from the genealogy, and the other has been directly removed! I'd rather cut off my children and grandchildren in the future than tarnish my reputation with such waste!" ”
