Chapter 297: Suspicion
"At the age of seventeen, he won the top prize, extremely talented, and young, and he can be regarded as a very promising young man. Concubine Wu smiled and said: "Hey, the concubine is now old because Xinping is also old, and she is always used to inquiring about young people, although the friends she made in the past, although there are some good young people, they are all poor in talent and learning, but it is not as good as this Su Zi, except for the poor background, everything is good." ”
The emperor originally just listened disapprovingly, thinking that this Concubine Wu was using today's events as a topic and chatting with herself, after all, talking about the young champion Yuanlang, and she has not yet sent officials, and it is not a matter of interfering in court politics.
But as he listened, the emperor's face gradually sank.
This linked Su Ziji and Xinping, and mentioned the matter of choosing a son-in-law, although he didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning of this couldn't be clearer.
It's just that it's not easy to speak straightforwardly, and I want him, the successor of the father, to be able to give the marriage to him.
In fact, if you take a fancy to other new science and technology scholars, even if you are in the list, Tanhua, or even the champion of the next session, it is nothing, even if you have a wife, the emperor will not be angry, after all, it is his own daughter, what she really wants, as long as she opens her mouth, it is not a problem.
But why did you take a fancy to Su Zi's nationality?
Su Ziji has been tested several times, and for the emperor, he has believed that it is the blood of the crown prince, and the reason why he did not immediately give the name is because he doesn't know why.
Listening to Concubine Wu keep talking, it seemed that she saw that the emperor did not react, and tried to find out, which really made the emperor more and more angry the more he listened.
"Shut up!" At the moment when Concubine Wu was about to make it clear, the emperor directly reprimanded.
This sound was too sudden, which directly startled Concubine Wu, not only that, but even the palace maids who served not far away were also frightened, and they trembled secretly.
The emperor stood up angrily and pointed at Concubine Wu: "A harem concubine, you have repeatedly mentioned the previous dynasty, you are simply out of character and forget your identity!"
"Xinping is your daughter, you are a concubine, but you don't discipline well, and now you almost have an accident, is it your fault? You are still here to mention to me that she is old, she is old, and she still jumps away like this? I don't know what to do? How can I let her out and harm others?"
"Instead of thinking about those other things, let's think about how to teach Xinping! Let her have some princess dignity, don't embarrass me!"
The more he talked, the more angry he became, he didn't look at Concubine Wu who was kneeling on the ground with a pale face, and directly dropped a sentence: "Concubine Wu's goddaughter has no way, I miss you for many years with me, and there is no merit and hard work, so I will confine you for half a month, and reflect on it! If you still don't know how to advance or retreat, and your mouth is full of nonsense, continue to stay in this Phixiang Palace, don't go out!"
After saying that, the emperor brushed his sleeves away, walked on the road, and was still angry.
This is not right, how can it be such a coincidence, Su Ziji is the blood of the prince, and Princess Xinping happened to see Su Ziji when she left the palace by chance?
Also, Xinping is often surrounded by some young talents, why is it so coincidental that Concubine Wu only thinks about Su Ziji?
It's not right, or someone is doing something in the dark.
Thinking of this, the emperor was irritable, although he was in the middle of the ride, he bit his lip.
At this time, there was a sudden thunder and passed into the imperial garden, and the emperor was stunned, and he felt another thunderclap, which shook the palace and trembled.
Then the raindrops crackled and fell, and after a short pause, they fell in full force.
Listening to the sound of the rain gradually increasing, looking at the eunuch carrying the chariot, although he was not in a hurry, turned into a corridor, and watched the entire imperial city be submerged in the rain in an instant.
"The most likely person to do this, I'm afraid it's King Qi. ”
Thinking of the court meeting, the king of Qi was able to have such a fast intelligence network, and the emperor was like a fish in his throat, and his eyes became more and more gloomy.
"His power is a little bigger, isn't it not only outside the palace, but also has a tacit understanding with Concubine Wu in this harem?
After all, it's hard not to think about it.
Heaven and earth, ethics is the most important thing, whether it is murder, lust, or even greed, meanness, and incompetence, it can't compare to this.
As long as Su Ziji has some scandals in this regard, it will be difficult to rise to the throne again, either he will never be able to recover his identity, and he will be sent far away, or after recovering his identity, he will be criticized by the world because of the scandal with his aunt.
And Princess Xinping herself likes to call friends, and in matters between men and women, she has no reputation for purity and flawlessness, which is easier for people to believe.
Moreover, Concubine Wu herself may have been used, after all, it is her wish to find a good son-in-law.
Even, even if Xinping is affected in this matter, as long as she promises the future, Concubine Wu may not agree.
After figuring out Concubine Wu with his own way of thinking, the emperor felt more and more that this was probably the case.
"Everything is old. ”
"Back then, I was arbitrary, but no one dared to refute it. ”
"Now although the ministers are only promised, they are not disobedient, but they are actually disobedient, and they all regard me as old and want to take refuge in the new master. ”
In the position of the emperor, he couldn't help but feel helpless and afraid.
I am old, and my sons are in their prime day by day, and people are constantly getting closer, this kind of helpless sadness is difficult to understand if it is not for those who pass by.
"No, I am the Son of Heaven. ”
"As long as I have a breath left, there is no reason to fall into this world. ”
At this time, the emperor got up and bowed, slowly glanced at Zhao Gonggong, who was standing and waiting, and directly ordered: "You go to the Ministry of Officials, pass on my message, and remember, let them immediately send officials to Su Ziji, in addition to their own duties, but also give the name of an observer, and immediately leave Beijing, the local ...... Let's choose in Thuan An. ”
"Yes, the minion obeys. Zhao Gonggong cautiously reminded: "Your Majesty, the champion is an official, and the list of eyes and tanhua ......"
Only one person from Su Zi was arranged, which was a bit too obvious and did not conform to the emperor's original intention of not wanting him to restore his identity now.
The emperor was reminded by Zhao Gonggong, and his head, which was originally a little confused by anger, also sobered up.
According to the rules, after the palace examination, the champion awarded the Hanlin Academy to revise (from the six products), the list eye, the tanhua to edit (the seventh grade), the other two and three top jinshi, choose the young and talented to enter the Hanlin Academy as a Jishi, called the "selection of the museum", not selected only to go to the ministry to report, to the six departments of the government, after the completion of the election of officials.
Only giving Su Zizhi an official title is indeed too conspicuous.
He bit his lip and pondered for a moment: "The list of eyes and tanhua also let the officials choose an official position together, as for the remaining second and third grades, they still follow the original rules." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, the old slave will do it. "Zhao Gonggong's heart is relieved, whether it is Shu Jishi, or the six departments of Guanzheng, in fact, they are all of no grade, but the first three people could have been awarded officials immediately, but now it is just a little faster, and it will not cause a storm.
He bowed down and withdrew.
