Seven days later, in the harem Ning Xiang Palace.

Headed by the eighth prince Zhao Hongrun, Mu Qing, Shen Yu, Wei Jiao, Chu Heng, Gao Kuo, Chong Zhao, Lu Mu, Zhu Gui, He Miao, and Zhou Pu knelt in the hall with their Royal Highnesses, hanging their heads and bearing the endless reprimands of Concubine Shen Shu.

Like an ostrich, none of them dared to raise their heads, and shrank their heads obediently to be trained.

On the side, Zhao Yuanxi, the emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty, was drinking the dishes deliciously, and at the same time looked at this group of people with pure and playful eyes, and he was happy in his heart.

Glancing at the ten sect guards indignantly, Concubine Shen Shu frowned and reprimanded, "What is it good for this palace to say to you?" …… You are all Run'er's Zongwei, humerus henchmen, you should be in the same boat, one is prosperous, and the other is lost, you should persuade Run'er...... Shen Yu, you have disappointed this palace too much. ”

Shen Yu was speechless and hung his head silently.

He is the eldest of all the Zongwei, and he is deeply respected by Concubine Shen Shu because he has always been steady, but this time, he and Lu Mu were drunk with spirits and thrown on the street at will, and in the end, the people of the Zongfu came out to find them.

"Wei Jiao!" Shen Shufei said.

"Yes." Zong Weiwei shrank his head arrogantly.

"And you, what do you say about you by calling this palace? Shouldn't you be by Run'er's side all the time? Seven people actually went to the wine shop in the city to drink, and you didn't even know that something happened to your Highness! ”

Wei Jiao, Chu Heng, Gao Kuo, Chong Zhao, Zhu Gui, He Miao, and Zhou Pu lowered their heads and didn't dare to say a word.

After all, Zong Wei is equivalent to the humerus of the prince, a confidant and a sibling, and a brother with a different surname, so in a sense, Zhao Hongrun's mother, Shen Shufei, can also be regarded as their stepmother, and since she is reprimanded by her stepmother, which of them dares to speak out?

"And you, Mu Qing!"

"......" Mu Qing trembled with fright.

"You really have the ability, mobilize 500 Praetorian Guards to break into Dali Temple privately, and turn Dali Temple upside down, do you know how many Dali Temple officials are investigating this matter these days?"

Mu Qing bowed his head and was silent.

At this time, Zhao Hongrun, who was kneeling on the first one, couldn't help but speak: "Mother, the child was framed this time, regardless of their business." ”

"The most infuriating thing is you!" After patting the table, Concubine Shen Shu said angrily: "The dignified son, he is so ignorant of self-love, he went to the fireworks and willow alley to find flowers and ask willows...... This is what Hongu teaches you on weekdays? ”

"Son, that's not ......"

"You still dare to talk back?!"

"......" Zhao Hongrun closed his mouth in a daze.

Looking at this scene, the Great Wei Tianzi was happy in his heart, and pretended to say: "Hongrun, your mother taught you, you can't talk back, you know?" ”

Zhao Hongrun was angry in his heart, but looking at Shen Shufei's angry appearance, he didn't dare to talk back at this time, so he had to pretend not to hear it.

Seeing this scene, the Great Wei Tianzi felt even more comfortable.

Once upon a time, how disobedient and arrogant this stubborn eighth son Zhao Hongrun was in front of him, who was a father, and came up with all kinds of "despicable and vicious" strategies to make him, the son of the Great Wei Emperor, angry, but there was no way to vent, but at this time, this inferior son dared to speak back?

With a long sigh, Concubine Shen Shu taught earnestly: "Run'er, you are the prince of Great Wei, but what you are doing is like what a prince should do?" ”

"Not really." The Emperor of Great Wei was on the side.

"Do you know how disappointed your father and the palace are?"

"I'm disappointed." The Great Wei Tianzi shook his head and sighed.

"Do you dare in the future?!"

"Do you dare?" Da Wei Tianzi seems to be addicted to playing, and he is pretending to be a tiger on the side, taking the opportunity to reprimand this son.

Zhao Hongrun was angry in his heart, how could he not see that his father was taking revenge on what he had done a while ago, but seeing Shen Shufei's angry appearance, he didn't dare to speak back, after all, Shen Shufei's physical condition was not very good.

"The child doesn't dare." Zhao Hongrun lowered his eyebrows and said obediently.

Seeing him so obedient, the anger in Concubine Shen Shu's heart gradually subsided, and the Great Wei Tianzi next to her was even more happy as if his soul had been healed, and his smile was extraordinarily bright.

After teaching the eldest son a lesson, Concubine Shen ordered to prepare a meal, after all, looking at the meaning of the Great Wei Tianzi, it seems that he intends to eat in Ningxiang Palace, which is an excellent thing.

Concubine Shen Shu didn't think about what she wanted for herself, she was more inclined to let the father-son relationship between Zhao Hongrun and the Son of Heaven get closer, after all, the father-son war that was rumored in the palace a few days ago made Shen Shufei particularly worried.

With her husband on one side and her son on the other, even if Concubine Shen Shu didn't consider letting her son seek the throne, she couldn't bear to have such a tense relationship between their father and son.

Because of this, after finishing lunch, she took the lead in using physical fatigue as an excuse to leave the rest of the time to Zhao Yuanxi, the prince of Great Wei, and Zhao Hongrun, the eighth prince.

It's a pity that Zhao Hongrun couldn't understand her good intentions at all, so as soon as she left, the smile on Zhao Hongrun's face was immediately put away.

One father and one son, looking at each other.

"The king of a country left behind the heavy government affairs of the arched palace, just to see the embarrassment of his son when he was taught by his mother...... Is that really good? ”

Faced with his son's slightly mocking words, Da Wei Tianzi didn't think it was a pestle at all, and said with a smile: "In your words, you have to adjust your mood occasionally, don't you?" ”

Zhao Hongrun's teeth itched hatefully, and he said angrily: "Father, what are you laughing at?" The emperor just didn't notice it for a while and was framed! ”

Unexpectedly, hearing this, the smile on the face of the Son of Heaven became even bigger: "Ah, it is precisely because you were framed that I smiled so happily!" ”

"How can this be a father?"

Zhao Hongrun glanced at the Son of Heaven angrily, and said in his heart that whoever is the father would say such a thing, as if he wanted his son to suffer.

At this time, the Son of Heaven slowly put away the smile on his face, and said as if with deep meaning: "My thousand-mile horse also has a time when he stumbles. …… Hongrun, do you know why you were able to win a while ago? ”

Seeing that the expression of the Son of Heaven was different, Zhao Hongrun's heart couldn't help but become solemn, and he shook his head slowly.

"It's simple." The Great Wei Tianzi looked at his son, who was now becoming more and more important, and said, "Because you abide by the rules, I also obey the rules, therefore, you can win against me with your ingenuity." …… And this time, you run into an unruly opponent, and as a result, you lose. ”

"......" Zhao Hongrun was slightly stunned.

"Don't be convinced, in my opinion, Luo Wenzhong did quite a beautiful job this time, and used the power of the sect to punish you...... And he himself can get out of the matter, this ability is really worthy of my Great Wei's courtier......"

"Hey, hey, father, it's very strange to hear what you said, generally speaking, the son has suffered a loss, shouldn't Lao Tzu stand up for him?"

Da Wei Tianzi glanced at his son amusedly, and said playfully, "Why do I want to stand up for you? It's just that you don't have the ability to do it yourself, what do you have to do with me? …… On the contrary, I admire that Luo Wenzhong, who has courage and scheming, and is much more capable than you who can only play petty tricks and only know how to spoil my favorite playthings! ”

When it comes to the valuable ornaments that have been ruined by his son, the Great Wei Tianzi is very worried, especially the peony flower that he personally took care of.

"Since my father has said everything about this, then the emperor can only rely on himself." Arching his hand towards the Son of Heaven, Zhao Hongrun seemed to have a deep meaning: "There should be more than one Langzhong in the ministry, right?" If this is the case, it is best for the father to pick a few suitable ones to prepare...... The emperor went first. ”

As he spoke, Zhao Hongrun arched his hand and said goodbye and left.

Glancing at the back of the Eighth Highness when he left, and then secretly looking at the elusive smile on the face of the Son of Heaven, the great eunuch Tong Xian lowered his head and did not dare to interject.

"Tong Xian, drive the vertical arch hall."

"Yes......"

Leaving the Ningxiang Palace, the Great Wei Tianzi went straight to the Vertical Arch Palace.

In the vertical arch hall, He Xiangxu and the other three ministers of Zhongshu had already learned from the mouth of the Son of Heaven that this son would go to Ningxiang Palace today, so it was not surprising.

They just wondered how the Eighth Emperor Zhao Hongrun, who was so dignified, could be dealt with by the Zongfu, but seeing that both the Great Wei Tianzi and the Zongfu were very tightly covered in this matter, they were very interested in not asking.

They are just guessing in their hearts.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Officials has submitted a chapter fold about this year's 'scientific examination'." Lin Yuyang, the left secretary of the Chinese book, handed a chapter fold to the Long case, and said respectfully: "The specific affairs of the 'scientific examination', the Ministry of Officials is almost ready, and the sixteen accompanying officials, the Ministry of Officials has been preliminarily drawn up, this is the list ......."

Da Wei Tianzi picked up the chapter fold, carefully looked at the names of the officials on the list, and said lightly: "There is still a lack of a chief invigilator?" ”

"Yes."

"Just choose...... He! The Emperor of Great Wei raised his hand and pointed to a name in the list: "Officials Langzhong, Luo Wenzhong!" ”

"Huh?"

The three ministers in the vertical arch hall all looked up at the Son of Heaven, and couldn't help but wonder in their hearts.

You must know that although the examination is a major event related to the selection of officials in the next few years of the entire Great Wei Dynasty, in fact, this matter does not necessarily have to be led by the official department, after all, the official department has to coordinate the evaluation of the entire senior official, and the official duties are heavy.

Therefore, the chief invigilator of the examination will generally select one person from the left and right attendants of the ministry, but I didn't expect that this year, His Majesty handpicked a Langzhong.

"Could this be Jane in the Emperor's heart? Could it be that this Luo Wenzhong Luo Lang has any outstanding political achievements?'

Lin Yuyang and Yu Ziqi looked at each other, wondering in their hearts, but it was not good to ask rashly.

"Yes, then choose Luo Wenzhong of the Ministry of Officials as the chief examiner of the subject examination. …… In addition, what is Your Majesty not satisfied with this year's scientific examination? ”

Under the sneaky observation of the great eunuch Tong Xian, a somewhat elusive smile appeared on the face of the Great Wei Tianzi.

"In this year's scientific examination, I will choose one person from my children to serve as a companion, after all, those emperors who are not successful will have to come into contact with these things sooner or later......"

"The Prince's Companion?"

The three ministers looked at each other, and said in their hearts that this had not appeared in the past years.

"Your Majesty, this is ......."

Lao Cheng's solemn Chinese book made He Xiangxu frown and glanced at the Son of Heaven, thoughtful.

At the same time, in a mansion in Daliang, Chendu.

I saw that in a luxuriously decorated room with precious playthings, there was a middle-aged man in bright clothes who was playing with the jade in his hand.

At this time, a subordinate walked into the house, knocked on the ground and said, "Master, I have found out, the person of Miss Su Ran** is Zhao Hongrun, the eighth prince." …… According to Xu Shang and people in the Zongfu, the Eighth Prince once had a grudge with Luo Rong, the son of Luo Wenzhong, the official Langzhong. ”

Zhao Hongrun...... Hey! The brightly dressed middle-aged man stopped playing with jade in his hand, and a little interest flashed on his face: "Tell Xu Shang to pick the card of that Su Ran girl, and no one is allowed to disturb it." ”

"Yes."

"PS: Something happened at night, so I sent it first."
