Chapter 244: Beaten Again
"Eat slowly, why can't you eat at your brother-in-law's? It's like I haven't eaten for a few days and I'm coming back from a famine. Empress Eldest Sun took care of her son in distress, and she didn't know what was going on.
Li Chengqian complained while eating, "His food there is not good, last night we ate dry hard flax cakes and gruel, and we didn't even have a dish." ”
The queen smiled, "This is impossible, the cooks in the imperial dining room are not as good as the cooks there." Unless, unless He deliberately tests you. You have never suffered since you were a child, and you are not used to it. It doesn't matter, come back for a few days, and then go back in a few days. ”
Hearing this, the rice in Li Chengqian's mouth instantly became unfragrant, "Queen Mother, I, I will never go again." Woohoo......"
"What's the matter? How so? What happened? The queen was puzzled.
Li Chengqian threw himself into his mother's arms and cried: "Queen Mother, he beat me and beat me to death. Today, they kept me in a small dark room all day, and I didn't eat anything. If it weren't for my little sister secretly rescuing me, I would have starved to death and never seen my mother again. ”
What??? Is there such a thing? Why is Zang Feng so hot?
"Okay, okay, you eat well, and we'll talk about school later."
Empress Changsun hugged her son distressedly, and then glanced at the maid, and the other party hurriedly went to investigate. Li Junxian, who happened to come to give people away, has not gone far.
After checking it out and coming back, the queen read the secret report, and her face fell.
Looking at her well-fed and hiccuped son, the queen's heart was full of sighs, when did this well-behaved eldest son also learn to lie? Turning black and white upside down? He and Xiao Rui are so inseparable?
"Have you eaten enough?"
"Well, if you're full, it's better to be in the palace!"
"Hmph, let's be honest, what the hell happened?" The queen's voice became stern.
Yes? Mother, what, what's wrong?
"Don't pretend to be pathetic. You've already sent someone to find out, so bold, have you learned to lie? Say, why did your brother-in-law punish you? "The queen directly asked people to bring bamboo planks.
Li Chengqian's body shook, this thing is a shadow of childhood.
"Queen Mother, Queen Mother, don't listen to their nonsense, what the child said is true......"
Syllable!
The queen didn't talk nonsense, and hit the back of her son's hand directly with a board, "Still lying?" ”
Li Chengqian cried, he couldn't understand how he couldn't figure it out, just a colt, in the final analysis, they were all outsiders, why did his parents prefer to trust outsiders and not protect their son?
"Not recruiting yet? How did you answer yesterday's exam? The queen broke it directly.
Li Chengqian chuckled in his heart, his eyes were a little evasive, "Child, child is only a shallow learner, and he really didn't answer well." But he shouldn't have beaten me, locked me up! ”
Syllable!
It was another bamboo board, and the queen scolded: "What about the answer sheet? Take it out and I'll see it. ”
"No, it's gone, it's him, cough cough, it's burned by my brother-in-law."
Go up in flames? What do you do by burning your test papers?
Faced with the old lady's stern questioning, and the eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, Li Chengqian was scared, didn't dare to lie, and replied honestly: "Brother-in-law said that if this test paper is in the palace, I and my prince will not be able to do it." ”
What???
You, you......
The queen was furious and really wanted to kill this son.
"Go out all of you, and let no one be within a hundred paces."
After scolding the subordinates, the queen suppressed her anger and asked, "What kind of rebellious thing did you write?" ”
"No, I just answer the questions well, and I can write whatever I think in my heart. Who knew that he was so fierce, not to say that the child was wrong, and scolded and beaten...... Whining! ”
Syllable!
"Don't woo, recite your answer sheet to me 1510, miss a word, and send it to your brother-in-law to be locked up!"
"Huh? Don't, I'll just carry it. ”
In the end, he was still an eleven-year-old child, so confused, he was defenseless when facing his biological mother, and he honestly carried it. Should I say it or not, although this kid's heart is not very good, his memory is good, and he really memorized it word for word.
After listening to his two questions, Empress Eldest Sun was almost angry to death. I trembled all over, and I couldn't speak for a while.
It turns out that Xiao Rui really has no alarmism, this rebel, an unsuccessful rebel! What do you write? That's what you think in your heart? If you can't do anything, you don't distinguish between external enemies, and you are a mess internally, if this country is really in your hands, won't you want to die twice?
At this moment, Empress Eldest Sun suddenly felt a little grateful to Xiao Rui. The test papers were burned, the people were locked up, and they were dealt with privately. Otherwise, once this matter leaks out, Li Chengqian will be finished.
In the Taiji Hall in front, Li Erzheng was holding the new imperial examination list with his eyes shining, good, good, all good! They are all the pillars of my future Datang.
"Everyone, Aiqing has worked hard, go back quickly and rest. Tomorrow, I will give an explanation to the students. ”
"By the way, Xuan Cheng, you are tired, those officials who have been arrested and involved in cheating in the imperial examination have to be interrogated one by one. From tomorrow, Goshidai will participate in the trial and serve as the chief judge. ”
Wei Zheng saluted and said, "The minister's decree." ”
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty......" The chamberlain Lao Gao shouted Li Er in a low voice.
"Oh? What's the matter? ”
"You, you might as well go to the Lizheng Palace."
"What? Something is wrong with the Queen? ”
Lao Gao whispered in the emperor's ear, Li Er frowned, put down the list, and moved to the Lizheng Palace.
Before he entered the door, he heard Li Chengqian's crying and screaming.
"The queen mother, the child knows that it is wrong, and he no longer dares to ...... You hurt more than your brother-in-law! ”
"Pain? It's right to hurt, it doesn't hurt and doesn't have a long memory. You are the prince of the Tang Dynasty, look at what you have done? Even the children of civilians are inferior to ......"
At this moment, Li Chengqian really regretted it, Xiao Rui was right, the palace was not as good as Xiaojiazhuang.
Lao Gao entered the interior and reported: "Niangniang, Your Majesty has arrived." ”
The queen glared at Lao Gao, then collected her anger, and thought about how to help her son cover up, otherwise if she really let her husband know, would she take away the position of the crown prince of Chengqian?
"Come on, send the prince back to the East Palace, think about it behind closed doors, no one will see it!" Without waiting for the queen to speak, Li Er had already given an order.
After sending his son away and leaving all his subordinates, Li Er motioned for his wife to sit down and said.
"You also know about Chengqian? What Zang Feng said? ”
The queen shook her head and said, "It was the concubine herself who asked from Cheng Qian's mouth." Jiro, can you ......?"
Li Er waved his hand and said, "Guanyin, I know what you're worried about. Cheng Qian is also my son, and I also have high hopes. Whether he can be a prince or not is not only because of his identity, but also because he has the ability. After all, I am the king of a country, and I always have to entrust the fortune of the country to a child who is worthy of great responsibility. ”
"Erlang, Cheng Qian is only eleven years old...... "The queen had red eyes, if she was deposed as the crown prince, she was afraid that her son would not be able to accept it.
Li Er sighed and said, "So, I want to consult with you. Serious illness requires strong medicine, Zang Feng is right, if he doesn't find a way to educate Cheng Qian, he will be abolished. Whether he is a prince or not, he is a prince, not a folk boy, and he can think crankily about right and wrong. If it continues like this, I am afraid that it will cause trouble in the future. ”
Hearing this, the queen seemed to have hope, and hurriedly asked, "I don't know what Zang Feng said to save it?" ”
Li Er whispered again, and before he could finish speaking, the queen waved her hand again and again, and sternly refused: "No, absolutely not!" ”
