The wind came from nowhere, and before the hundred officials went to court, they all got a piece of news that shocked them.

Mrs. Tong stopped the father and son before Tong and Tong Mokang left the house.

Mrs. Tong looked at Tong Mokang and said to him earnestly: "Kang'er, you have nothing to do with Xiao Lingwei in your life, don't have any more thoughts about her, give up." ”

Tong Mokang's attitude was very firm: "Whether she is the daughter of the Xiao family or the daughter of the Li family, in this life, the only wife I want to marry is her." ”

"You..."Mrs. Tong scolded: "Why can't you see the current situation clearly, she is no longer the daughter of the Xiao family, even if she is a princess, she is not the biological daughter of the current emperor." Didn't you hear the word from outside, Your Majesty is very jealous of her.

"As long as she is one step behind, Your Majesty will probably kill her, why should you go into trouble for yourself?"

Tong Mokang's eyes became disappointed, "Mother, you weren't like this before, you like Sister Xiao very much." ”

Mrs. Tong was stunned for a moment, and then said with an unnatural face: "Yes, I like that girl very much, and I still like her now."

"But liking is one thing, marrying a daughter-in-law is another, I can't bring trouble to Tongfu just because I like it."

Tong Mokang was silent.

Mrs. Tong stabbed Master Tong with her arm: "Master, you have something to say." ”

Master Tong coughed lightly and said, "It's useless to talk about this now, no matter if she is the daughter of the Xiao family or the daughter of the Li family, she has filial piety now, and she can't discuss her relatives."

"I'll talk about this later, it's not too early, it's time to go to court."

This was right, and Tong Mokang's eyes couldn't help but darken.

Mrs. Tong was still not at ease, so she chased after the gate of the mansion and instructed Tong Mokang: "In front of Your Majesty, don't mention Xiao Lingwei." ”

......

"Your Majesty, the minister has a book."

Li Zhenxiao looked over, and saw that the champion of the current department, that is, the new servant of the Ministry of Officials, Tong Mokang, came out and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Princess Yongjia is the biological daughter of Emperor Daxing, please Your Majesty welcome back Princess Yongjia to prove her name." ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall was silent.

Although everyone got the news in the morning, they only dared to discuss it in private, and did not dare to discuss it openly in the court.

As we all know, His Majesty is very disgusted with the children of Emperor Daxing. In order to show mercy, the funeral of Emperor Daxing was very beautiful, but the funeral of the fifth prince and the seventh prince was very simple.

The second princess married the Turks, and His Majesty couldn't reach it, but the eldest princess married in the capital, and His Majesty removed the official positions of his concubine family, and the whole family could only rely on the dowry of the eldest princess to live.

As the younger sister of Emperor Daxing, Princess An Ning was not spared, His Majesty took back her fiefdom, as well as the royal palace that was given to her before, and the children of the clan who occupied high positions were also removed.

In short, His Majesty will remove those who can be removed from official positions by the bloodline of the Daxing Emperor, and those who can recover their rewards will be withdrawn, and those who can be moved will be moved, leaving them with only a vacant position and no real power.

Now, another princess has appeared, and everyone realized why Emperor Daxing's edict wanted to crown Xiao Lingwei as Princess Yongjia, and why it was specified that Xiao Lingwei should be his guardian, it turned out that Xiao Lingwei was the biological daughter of Emperor Daxing.

Tong Mokang believes that Li Zhenxiao has just ascended the throne, although it is very important to deter hundreds of officials, but only by combining grace and power to show the world his benevolent side can he win the hearts of the people. What's more, a princess can't threaten his status, and this time is the time when an emperor's broad-mindedness can be best demonstrated.

As a king, Li Zhenxiao will not understand this truth.

Tong Mokang waited with hope for Li Zhenxiao to adopt his opinion and admit Xiao Lingwei's identity, but he never expected that Li Zhenxiao did not want to show his benevolence.

"It's nonsense." Li Zhenxiao slapped the handrail heavily and said angrily: "Emperor Daxing only looked at Empress Xiao's face and named Xiao Lingwei as a princess, not because Xiao Lingwei is his daughter.

"Where did you hear the rumors?"

Faced with Li Zhenxiao's sudden anger, Tong Mokang was a little flustered, but he quickly calmed down and said: "It's not for nothing that there is nothing to say about the rumors. His Majesty only needs to recruit Princess Yongjia and let her and the eldest princess recognize her blood, and her identity can be confirmed. ”

"Presumptuous." Li Zhenxiao stood up and stared at Tong Mokang: "Do you know that Xiao Lingwei is not a real princess, but a thief." ”

The crowd was amazed.

"I received a message last night that Xiao Lingwei was an accomplice in the rebellion of the Five Princes, and I was about to send someone to arrest her to ask for the crime, but you heard the rumors from somewhere, and you dared to ask me to admit the identity of a princess who was a thief?"

Li Zhenxiao's eyes suddenly became fierce: "Say, are you in a group with Xiao Lingwei?" ”

Tong Mokang was stunned by his accusation, and stood in place without knowing how to answer.

Master Tong hurriedly stepped forward and kicked Tong Mokang's knee, "Son, don't you ask Your Majesty for guilt." ”

Tong Mokang knelt on the ground, his face was stunned, and he didn't speak.

Master Tong immediately knelt beside him and said to Li Zhenxiao: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, the child is young, although he is knowledgeable, but he is new to the court, he can't distinguish between the world, he has offended His Majesty, please ask Your Majesty to surrender." ”

Li Zhenxiao stared at his prostrate head on the ground, and said quietly: "Oh~ Is that so? ”

Master Tong kowtowed heavily, "Yes, Your Majesty." Because my niece married into the Yang family, she had some contact with the Xiao Mansion, but the relationship was not close, and I asked Your Majesty to investigate. ”

After speaking, Master Tong took advantage of the cover of his sleeve to pinch Tong Mokang fiercely, and whispered: "Why don't you ask Your Majesty for guilt, do you want the Tong family to be exterminated?" ”

There was a sharp pain in his arm, and the words "the Tong family was exterminated" came from his ears, Tong Mokang suddenly woke up and bowed down: "Your Majesty, it is the minister's fault to believe the rumors without in-depth investigation, please condemn Your Majesty." ”

Li Zhenxiao was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "You are too young to know the dangers of the world, this is not to blame you." I can forgive you this time, but there will be another time, and it will not be that simple. ”

Master Tong hurriedly kowtowed: "Your Majesty is merciful, thank you Your Majesty." ”

Tong Mokang also kowtowed: "Thank you, Lord Longen." ”

Li Zhenxiao glanced around, and everyone didn't dare to look directly, so they lowered their heads one after another.

"Okay, I will definitely investigate this matter clearly, and retreat."

Everyone knelt on the ground and shouted, "Congratulations to Your Majesty." ”

As soon as the emperor left, a minister stepped forward and said to Master Tong: "Master Tong, it was so dangerous just now, you have to teach the third prince well in the future, and you must not be so reckless as today." ”

Speaking of this, he lowered his voice: "Now this one is not as good as the one before, but this one can be at every turn..."

He made a motion to wipe his neck.

Master Tong pulled the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, "Thank you for reminding..."
