The third prince was ordered by the emperor to be confined for misconduct, and he was not allowed to go out unless he was edicted, which shook the entire court.

After the courtiers were stunned, they quickly reacted, the third prince is finished, which means that there is one less person who has a chance to win the throne, and this battle for succession seems to be a matter between the second prince and the fifth prince!

The courtiers looked at it and thought that the second prince had a better chance of winning: he was born noble, known as a virtuous name, and was the eldest among the princes. In comparison, the Five Princes are much weaker.

With such a downward wind, the Second Prince's Mansion suddenly had many officials come to visit, which is a matter of later story.

After the third prince was circled, Xian Maoxin of the military department fell into the river and drowned because of drunkenness, but no one will pay attention to such a trivial matter. Only when the old lady of the Zhao family heard the news, her brows furrowed.

Xian Maoxin is the most powerful staff of the three princes, and now that the three princes have just been imprisoned, he has drowned, and there must be something inside to this matter.

But what does it matter to him? What he should be worried about is now! Old lady Zhao once again looked at the urgent letter sent by her son, Zhao Yugang, the protector of Anxi, and couldn't make up her mind.

One is the granddaughter who has seen her since she was a child, and the other is the honor and reproduction of the Zhao family, should you do what your son wants? Old lady Zhao was embarrassed and struggled, and after a long time, he made up his mind. Of course, this decision is heart-wrenching!

That night, Mrs. Zhao instructed his wife to stew tonic soup for his granddaughter Zhao Yuhua, and Zhao Yuhua, who was embroidering the dowry, drank it happily.

She saw her grandmother, Mrs. Zhao, wiping her tears uncontrollably, thinking that she was worried about herself, and smiled and comforted her grandmother: "Grandmother, don't worry. Although the third prince was imprisoned, the granddaughter didn't mind. You also know that your granddaughter has always disliked socializing, isn't it good that the Three Princes' Mansion is quiet and quiet? Don't be sad, grandmother. ”

Mrs. Zhao listened to her granddaughter's words. The tears flowed even more, and she choked up, but she didn't answer her granddaughter's words.

The next day, the Zhao family reported to the Ministry of Rites and Shaofu Temple, saying that Zhao Yuhua, the third princess of the third prince, had died of a violent illness.

Because Zhao Yugang only has one daughter, and the Zhao family has no school-age girl who can replace Zhao Yuhua, Changtai Disi and Zhao Yugang's contributions over the years. announced the abandonment of the marriage between the three princes and the Zhao family.

So, I was planning to return to Jingzhao to marry my daughter, and Zhao Yugang, who was already on the way back to Beijing at the moment, turned back to the original road, and returned to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate to continue to be the Anxi Protector.

could have been the princess, but now unfortunately she has died, what a pity you say, although the three princes were imprisoned, but the princess's degree has not changed, this is still honor!

The above is the regret of the ordinary people of Jingzhao, and when the court officials heard the news, they secretly sighed in their hearts: This Zhao Yugang is even willing to do it with his only daughter. That's ruthless!

Anyway, Zhao Yugang continued to be his Anxi protector, and the virtuous concubine in the harem also came to the end of her life after the third prince was imprisoned.

The long kneeling outside the Zichen Hall twice in a row greatly depleted the spirit of the virtuous concubine, and coupled with the blow of her mother's exile and the third prince being circled, she was like a balloon with a hole in it, and her life passed quickly.

When the palace maid of Yikun Palace came to report the death of Concubine Xian. Emperor Changtai had a trace of trance. remembered the scene when Concubine Xian first entered the palace. It was only sixteen years old for Concubine Xian, naïve and straightforward. He loved her lively air.

Now, that's what she's going to do? No matter what, he remembered her innocence in the first place. So he ordered the burial of Concubine Xian, which can be regarded as maintaining the mourning of Concubine Xian.

"The emperor still misses the old love. This week, the family and the three princes committed such a crime, the emperor did not pursue Concubine Xian, and let her live in Yikun Palace, now Concubine Xian died of illness, and ordered a thick burial, the emperor is also affectionate and righteous. ”

Listening to all kinds of news from Jingzhao, Qiu Ge sighed beside Shen Ning, although the Zhou family and the three princes were full of evil. But Concubine Xian was unaware from beginning to end, and she was also a poor person.

"The Divine Will has its own decisions, these are not things we can say, and it doesn't make sense to say them." Chun Shi knocked on Qiu Ge's head, this girl is getting bolder and bolder, and the emperor and the nobles in the palace dare to judge, really.

Shen Ning listened to Chun Shi's words, smiled, and did not speak. Nostalgia? If you really miss the old love, you won't let Concubine Xian kneel outside the Zichen Hall for so long; If you really miss the old love, you won't be imprisoned by the three princes.

Emperor Changtai buried the virtuous concubine just to make his heart better, and when it comes to affection and righteousness, it is too much.

Shen Ning thought of the three princes who were imprisoned in an instant, in this life, he didn't expect the fate of the three princes to end so early. In the last life, he gave birth to a son, and he was not imprisoned until the forty-second year of Changtai.

Besides, in the previous life, there was no such thing as Dengwengu, in this life, too many things have changed, is it because she was reborn and changed her fate? Or is it because of something else? Shen Ning had no solution.

Shangshu's right servant shoots the mansion, and a conversation is going on.

"Teacher, have you really decided?" Shen Zejing looked at Ye Zhengchun with a solemn face, but his tone was guilty.

It is only August of the 38th year of Emperor Changtai, and there are still several years before the time when the teacher originally paid tribute to him. If it weren't for him, the teacher wouldn't have been in a hurry to get to the office early, and he deserved this affection.

There should be something to do, and the disciple obeys his old man. Now, how did you turn it around? It was the teacher who gave him a tribute, which made him miss him for life!

"The decision to be a teacher has been decided, you don't need to say more. Don't make this crying expression, I'm just a Zhishi, not dead! Ye Zhengchun pursed his lips in disgust, not wanting to see Shen Zejing's expression.

"It's not all because of you that I made this decision. I'm also getting older, and I'm tired of the intrigue in the court. I don't have the energy and heart to do these things anymore, isn't it nice to travel in the mountains and rivers to love the countryside? Ye Zhengchun continued to say with a relaxed face, his face was still the usual shrewd look, like an old fox who had been in the mall for a long time.

Shen Huashan on the side also smiled and patted Shen Zejing's shoulder and signaled him to relax.

He knows that this son respects the teacher and nurses, but who is Ye Zhengchun? Officialdom old fox. He can weigh all the people and things that pass his eyes clearly and clearly, and he must have thought very carefully about such a major event in advance.

Besides. If you can give up, you can get it, and now is the best time to make a request to Zhishi, so that you can leave the name of a pure minister who does not love the power stack and does not participate in the heirs in front of the emperor.

The emperor is grateful for this, Ye Zhengchun's treatment must not be bad, although it is not as good as Gan Mingquan's Enlong, but it can also catch up with Xu Youyuan, is this son's worry a little redundant?

Seeing Shen Huashan's knowing gaze, Ye Zhengchun showed a treacherous smile: "Actually, the fifth prince has already sent someone to contact me." Fang Congzhe, the young secretary of Honglu Temple, has visited my house a lot recently. Unexpectedly, the fifth prince had served in Honglu Temple for more than a year, and he had already won him over. While the second prince was busy receiving the power of the third prince. If you don't leave now, when will you stay? ”

He doesn't want to be annoyed by people all day long like Xiao Houren, from an adventure like Dragon Gong, the pay is not proportional to the gain, even if he succeeds, he must always be on guard against the possibility of being liquidated. This deal is such a loss, he never wants to do it!

Zhang Shu looked at Lord Taishan with a helpless expression, but he was relieved.

He knew that this Lord Taishan had always been reliable and secure. Presumably, he had already thought about the matter of Zhishi, and as juniors, of course they had no opinions.

When the osmanthus was a little fragrant in August, not long after the three princes were imprisoned, the right servant of Shangshu shot Ye Zhengchun and went to the book to beg for bones, which frightened many officials: This Ye Zhengchun has only been in office as Shangshu's right servant for more than two years, how could he suddenly write and go to the office early?

However, Sun Boyang personally made a diagnosis from the Shang Pharmacy Bureau: Ye Zheng's heart and liver are stagnant, and he must not work hard anymore, otherwise his life will be damaged.

So the officials were relieved. Sun Boyang is the holy hand of the medical altar. Since he said so, then maybe Ye Zhengchun's body is really not good!

And inside the Zichen Palace. Emperor Changtai asked with a smile: "Tell me, why do you want to be born suddenly?" Don't use Sun Boyang's diagnosis to prevaricate. As far as I know, Sun Boyang also has a good relationship with you. ”

"Your Majesty! Tell the truth. Master Sun's diagnosis is not wrong, Weichen has indeed felt unwell and mentally exhausted recently; But it's not mainly because of this, it's really Weichen Lu stupid, I feel that I can no longer be qualified for the position of the right servant, Wei Chen is stupid, I just want to be an idle man in peace, please be gracious. Ye Zhengchun's words, coupled with his frightened and embarrassed expression, coupled with his gray hair, made Emperor Changtai unable to say anything to save him.

What Ye Zhengchun meant by Lu Ben, Emperor Changtai knew. At this juncture of seizing the heir, several princes want to compete for the position of the crown prince, and Ye Zhengchun does not want to participate in the battle for the heir, which is also normal.

Emperor Changtai thought about it for a while, and also thought about leaving a few talents for the next generation of emperors, this Ye Zhengchun is also older in the position of the right servant, since Ye Zhengchun has no intention of official, then he is not reluctant, Ye Zhengchun chose to withdraw from the officialdom at this time, and he is finally a pure minister.

When Ye Zhengchun walked out of Zichen Hall with a satisfied expression, he couldn't help but touch the gray beard on his head. Sure enough, deliberately not dealing with these gray hairs for months is really useful! Hehe.

Within a few days, Emperor Changtai issued an order to allow Ye Zhengchun to send a letter in advance, rewarding him with 5,000 taels of silver, exempting his descendants from paying taxes for five years, and also sealing one of his grandsons as the seven-pin Changshan County Order.

Ye Zhengchun retired with honor, and he retired so glamorously and beautifully at this juncture! Many officials envy and hate Ye Zhengchun, but if they are allowed to do it early, they are reluctant.

Therefore, it looks delicious, but it may not be able to enter the mouth.

Ye Zhengchun gave the office ahead of schedule, but it disrupted some people's plans. Fang Congzhe, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, originally wanted to draw Ye Zhengchun to the side of the five princes.

Now that Ye Zhengchun has resigned from the position of Shangshu's right servant, his influence has naturally decreased greatly, and it has been in vain that he has been constantly visiting his doors.

Shangguan Changzhi didn't expect Ye Zhengchun to be a servant in advance, originally he took a fancy to the relationship between Shen Zejing and Ye Zhengchun, and tried to get the support of Shangshu's right servant through the Shen family, who knew that Ye Zhengchun would be a good man, just like a slippery loach, it was impossible to let him enter the game!

And as soon as he retreated, the vacated right servant of Shangshu shot this high position, one of the top four secretaries, and it was going to cause a scramble again.

Shangguan Changzhi secretly took stock of his confidants and cronies, but he was very disappointed, and there were still too few high-ranking officials on his side.
