In the imperial study, Emperor Chen looked at the stack of pieces that had just been sent, and wondered: "In the past few days, why have there been so many more excerpts sent by Shangshu Province than a few days ago?" ”

The emperor can't do everything himself, most of the officials' recitals will be sent to Shangshu Province, and more than ninety percent of the excerpts will be handled by the prime minister and the officials of Shangshu Province, and those that can't be handled or are difficult to decide will be sent to him.

On weekdays, there are many excerpts sent by Shangshu Province, but there will not be too many differences, and the number of concerts in these two days is more than double the previous one.

Wei Jian said: "Back to Your Majesty, it may be because Lord Tang has taken a leave of absence." ”

Emperor Chen put down the piece in his hand and asked, "What leave did he take?" ”

"Injury leave." Wei Jian said: "Lord Tang asked Shangshu Province for three months of injury leave on the grounds that he was beaten by His Majesty. ”

Chen Huang stood up and was shocked: "Didn't I just let you mean it, you really let them be heavy-handed?" ”

Although he wanted to hit Tang Ning's board, he was not without measure, he really wanted to break him, and the biggest loss was him, the emperor, so he warned Wei Jian early on, just scare him a little, don't really hurt him.

When he learned that Tang Ning had taken a three-month leave due to his injury, he was shocked and angry.

Wei Jian had a bitter face, and said helplessly: "Back to Your Majesty, after the two guards were beaten, Lord Tang got up by himself, and the old slave promised that his injuries would not even need to be raised for three days......"

Emperor Chen asked, "Then why did he take three months of leave?" ”

Wei Jian whispered: "Then I'm going to ask Lord Tang......"

Emperor Chen understood, his expression was slightly angry, and he said: "This bastard boy, I was lazy again, and let people tell him that I gave him three days, and after three days, he didn't go to Shangshu Province, so I ignored him and let him take three months of real sick leave......"

After he had finished speaking, he calmed down, opened the fold on the table, glanced at it, frowned, and threw it aside.

After opening the second, third, and fourth letters, his face sank completely.

These excerpts, without exception, are all excerpts of the impeachment of Downing, and the charges of impeachment are varied, some are made up, and some are purely fabricated out of thin air.

As an emperor, he had seen such a scene countless times, so he naturally knew what it meant.

With a calm face, he asked, "Check it out, who led the impeachment of Tang Ning?" ”

Wei Jian looked at him and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the Secret Spy Division found out yesterday that in the past two days, King Duan has contacted many officials and made trouble at the same time, and these folds are from them." ”

"Duanwang?" Chen Huang rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Why is it him again, impeaching Tang Ning, is all in his head?" ”

Wei Jian paused in his tone and explained: "Your Majesty beat Lord Tang's board, and many people in Beijing speculate that Lord Tang has fallen out of favor here with His Majesty, so that all the people who Lord Tang offended before have jumped out......"

"Falling out of favor?" Emperor Chen tugged at the corners of his mouth and said: "When did I favor him, my trust in him was all earned by himself with his own actions, pacifying the south of the Yangtze River, stabilizing the northwest, and purging the court's courtiers, I don't pay attention to it, do you want to pay attention to those wastes?" ”

"This idiot, what's going on in his head!" He glanced at those folds and said in a low voice: "If he has Tang Ning's affairs, I can also rest assured that the East Palace will be handed over to him......"

Emperor Chen thought for a moment, looked at Wei Jian again, and said, "You go and invite Scholar Zhang to ......."

Shangshu Province, Tang Ning took sick leave, Wang Xiang also said that he was sick at home in the past two days, and Shangshu Province, which was already short of manpower, was even busier.

Shang Shu Youcheng stacked a few pieces aside and said, "Later, send these pieces to Your Majesty." ”

These impeachment of Tang Ning, Shangshu Province did not dare to deal with it.

Whether the Marquis of Dingguo has fallen out of favor or not, it has not yet been decided, who dares to offend him?

But turning a blind eye to this, there are still countless pairs of eyes staring at King Duan, Shangshu Province simply handed these folds to His Majesty, whoever dug the pit will fill it, this matter, only His Majesty has the ability and qualification to deal with it.

At this time, in the imperial study, Scholar Zhang bowed to Emperor Chen and said, "The old minister sees Your Majesty." ”

"Academics are exempt." Emperor Chen looked at a eunuch and said, "Give a seat to the scholar." ”

Although Zhang Daxue did not participate in court affairs, he was the teacher of two generations of emperors, and his status in the court was extremely respected.

Scholar Zhang looked at Emperor Chen and said suspiciously: "I don't know what is important for Your Majesty to summon the old minister?" ”

Chen Huang said: "Don't hide it from the scholars, I have summoned the scholars this time, and I do have an important matter to ask the scholars. ”

Senior Scholar Zhang stood up, bowed and said, "Please give instructions to Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Chen walked to the hall and said straight to the point: "I want to entrust King Duan to the scholars, and ask the scholars to teach them carefully for some time. ”

Scholar Zhang looked at him and said in surprise: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, why is this?" ”

Emperor Chen sighed and said, "The scholars have also seen that King Duan, as the prince I like, not only does not have the ability of the prince, but also does not have the virtue of the prince, so how can I rest assured that I will hand over the world to him in the future?" ”

When he heard Emperor Chen personally admit that King Duan was his favorite prince, Scholar Zhang's eyes flashed, but his face did not change at all.

"The scholar is my gentleman, and the gentleman of the princes." Emperor Chen looked at him and said, "I hope that the scholar can teach him again, so that he can change all the shortcomings in his body, regain his virtues, and become a qualified prince." ”

Senior Scholar Zhang looked at him, sighed, bowed down and said, "Please forgive the old minister for being incompetent, I'm afraid I will disappoint Your Majesty." ”

Chen Huang's face changed slightly, and he asked, "What does this mean?" ”

Scholar Zhang hugged his fists and said: "The country is easy to change, the nature is difficult to change, the old minister can teach His Royal Highness Duanwang knowledge, but he can't change his temperament, can't change his virtue, after all, His Royal Highness Duanwang is not as young as His Royal Highness King Run, his temperament, what he thinks in his head, has matured, outsiders want to change, it is as difficult as ascending to the sky." ”

Emperor Chen could understand what he meant, sighed, and said, "Isn't it even a scholar?" ”

"Forgive the old minister for being ......incompetent," Scholar Zhang bowed down again, and said: "In recent days, the old minister has been instructed by His Majesty to teach His Royal Highness King Run, the reason why His Royal Highness King Run can make such great progress is because he is still young, has a pure heart, and is easy to shape, and when he grows up for another two years, I am afraid it will be a little late, and at the age of King Duan, it is almost impossible for outsiders to change his temperament and virtue......"

Speaking of Zhao Yuan, Emperor Chen nodded and muttered, "Yes, Yuan'er is a good boy...... has he performed well recently?" ”

Scholar Zhang nodded and said: "King Run is studious and studious, he has never slackened for a day, even in his spare time, he thinks about preparing food for His Majesty, filial piety is commendable, he can teach such a disciple, and the old minister dies without regrets......"

Chen Huang smiled: "They are all university scholars who teach well. ”

Scholar Zhang bowed down and said, "It's still more useful for His Majesty's words and deeds......

Between the two, they unconsciously changed the topic, from Duanwang to Runwang.

Scholar Zhang gave a very high evaluation of Zhao Yuan, seeing him praise his prince, Emperor Chen felt satisfied and proud, and his originally gloomy mood was also better.

Not far away, Wei Jian looked at Scholar Zhang, who was unaware of the praise of King Run, and a smile appeared on his face.
