In the imperial study room, everyone turned their attention to Majesty Mo.

Majesty Mo answered with his head, not paying attention to everyone's surprise.

After he finished speaking, the imperial study room was so quiet that it could be heard, and Eunuch Mo was also upset.

He didn't dare to look up.

"Okay, come find it quickly." The emperor's voice was low, and there was a thunderclap and furious.

Eunuch Mo heard it in his ears and his heart trembled slightly. He was thinking, what did he say or did he do something wrong?

He quickly kowtowed and said yes.

Before leaving, he glanced at King Jin.

King Jin shrank his shoulders, his eyes were confused, and somehow he looked at Eunuch Mo.

Eunuch Mo was even more confused.

He rushed back quickly, took the thing, looked carefully, and didn't notice anything unusual, so he held it in his hand and rushed to the imperial study room.

The emperor asked Eunuch Mo to open it in public and went forward to show him.

He seemed to not recognize the jade pendant, and looked carefully, then threw the jade pendant into the box, regardless of whether the jade pendant was broken, and then he was stern: "Let me show the prince and the king of Jin, look at it,

What is this!"

Eunuch Mo didn't know what happened, but he also understood that this jade pendant was a bit hot.

He took it respectfully and walked to the prince.

The prince's face turned purple, his fists were clenched tightly, and all his veins were ripped.

Seeing Eunuch Mo coming, the prince didn't look at him, but just stepped forward and said, "Father, my third brother cried so pitifully, saying that his jade pendant was stolen. When my son saw him like this, he was eager to protect him...

”

With a crisp bang, the emperor threw the ink cartridge in front of the desk to the ground.

The emperor's face was fair and he was already so angry that he was red.

The eunuchs who served were all holding their breath, their legs trembling with fear.

The emperor interrupted the prince's words by throwing something, and his eyes turned to his other son, King Jin.

"Yanshan, why did you tell the prince?" The emperor's voice became even deeper.

He now tried his best to endure the roaring public anger, so his voice was lower than usual.

The King of Jin cried loudly: "......... I don't know that it was the prince's brother who harmed me..."

The prince was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

It seems illogical that King Pan of Jin is biting the prince.

But the emperor heard a truth from it: the prince forced the King of Jin to sue...

King Jin grew up being spoiled since childhood.

Compared to the crown prince, the emperor never had high expectations for King Jin, so he loved him more. The emperor did not blame King Jin for his current pills, but only felt that King Jin was just a child.

The child is ignorant.

The King of Jin was only six years old. The emperor did not ask the teacher to enlighten him. The truth he knew was all from the women from the Forbidden Palace.

Whenever he had something to do, he cried and even recommended the prince to take responsibility. It was not a flaw in his personality, but just an inexperience in the world.

The weakness and incompetence of King Jin at this moment can also allow the emperor to see the shadow of his concubines.

The emperor was heartbroken.

These two sons, one is weak and the other is stupid.

"Father, my son's minister has no." When the prince saw that King Jin had bitten him, he immediately knelt down and said, "Father, my son's minister has only three brothers and one brother, how could he harm him? It was him who said that his jade pendant was slapped.

Stealed..."

But the cry of King Jin resounded throughout the hall, covering up the prince's quibbling.

Yan Ying was frightened by them and asked Zhu Zhongjun to hide behind him.

Zhu Zhongjun gently protected his son and stood silently.

"Don't cry!" The prince scolded King Jin, "You useless thing, cry like a woman at any time! Tell your father what you said to me, otherwise..."

"What else?" the emperor interfaced.

The prince was upset by the King of Jin crying, and he spoke without hesitation. He was a little anxious and lost his composure, but the emperor saw it.

This son is not enough to entrust the country, the emperor thought at this moment.

The King of Jin was still young and could still educate him. The prince was almost twenty years old and had long lost the possibility of sculpture.

The emperor's anger disappeared immediately.

He was always dissatisfied with the prince, and it was not until this moment that he made up his mind: after he dealt with the Oirat and Tatars in Mongolia this time, the first thing he did when he came back was to cultivate the King of Jin and let him replace the prince Yanze.

The prince was so scared that he kowtowed, saying, "Father..."

But the emperor said, "Crown Prince, get up. I am very tired today, you all retreat."

The prince also said that the emperor had already winked at the eunuchs around him and asked them to invite the prince down.

The King of Jin was so scared that he dared not cry.

The emperor also asked him to follow Eunuch Mo down.

When the emperor and Zhu Zhongjun and his son were left in the imperial study, the emperor said to Zhu Zhongjun: "I know that Yanying was wronged and there are many jade pendants hidden in it. I asked Xiang Liang to pick a few pieces for Yanying..."

He wanted to expose the matter in such an understatement.

The emperor's son falsely accused Yanying of accusing him of being unprotected, leaving the prince and the King of Jin dim.

The emperor could scold his son, but he didn't want Zhu Zhongjun to investigate it deeply.

Zhu Zhongjun stopped when he saw that he was happy. He knew that he would give the emperor face now. The emperor was grateful and said, "Thank you brother to reward him."

He didn't say much about the words next to him.

He took Yan Ying out of the Imperial Study Room.

Immediately, the emperor asked someone to hide it in it, found ten best jade pendants, and sent them to Yanying.

After the matter was explained, the emperor sat alone in the imperial study room and did not summon the ministers again.

The emperor was not sure about the expedition this time. He followed the late emperor to go to the front line once and once.

But that time, if Duke Shen Xu Qin had not saved him, he would have almost lost his life.

That incident became a joke in the army.

Others say that the prince is useless, he is just a young boy with a poor and stinky breast.

In the hearts of the border generals, he was afraid that he was not as high as the Marquis of Yuanping Jiang Liang.

In recent years, the morale in the northwest has become increasingly low.

If the Emperor was still there, it would be impossible for him to lose a Guyuan Town casually.

If the important towns are not retrieved, the morale of the court will be even lower, and the Mongolian tribes will one day fight to the capital.

The emperor must personally fight.

He has not left this time in his personal expedition yet, just like looking at a demon mirror, revealing the prince's nature to his true colors.

The prince’s faults were known far more than the emperor before.

In the past, the emperor thought that the prince had some merit. The prince was a gentle and kind child, but he was easily excited.

To put it nicely, the prince is called distinction between grievances and grudges; to put it bluntly, the prince is willful.

If he is an ordinary child, he is so straightforward and enthusiastic, and very popular.

But as a king, his character is his fatality.

This time, the emperor prepared to personally expedition and let the prince see through it.

The emperor was already feeling cold.

Now, the prince clearly wanted to take revenge on Zhu Zhongjun's words in the morning. He dragged the King of Jin to the emperor without investigating it. In front of the emperor, he both satirized Zhu Zhongjun and insulted the King of Jin.

If he was just a son, the emperor could forgive him.

But he is the prince.

His behavior was rash and reckless. If the world was held in his hands, it would sooner or later be in chaos.

Changing the prince is not easy...

What the emperor was most concerned about before was the matter of going to war. It took a month to dispatch troops. He didn't have time to think about the prince first.

In another month, he will go to war.

He really wasn't at ease to hand over the capital to the prince.

Therefore, he first promoted Gu Yantao to the position of chief minister and then left Zhu Zhongjun. He raised Zhu Zhongjun's status in front of the prince, and even scolded the prince in front of Zhu Zhongjun. He wanted the prince to understand: Zhu Zhongjun is the person the emperor trusts the most, and the emperor would not hesitate to do so.

The face of the prince...

If the prince offended Zhu Zhongjun, he would offend the emperor.

Unfortunately, from today's events, the prince did not understand the emperor's meaning at all. Maybe he realized it, but he was not afraid at all.

He probably felt that his position as the prince was strong and unshakable.

He didn't need to please the emperor at all.

The emperor was both disappointed and shocked.

****

In the evening, Zhu Zhongjun returned to Pingju Palace.

Gu Jinzhi is waiting for him to come back.

The jade pendant rewarded by the emperor has been given.

"...What do the emperor say?" Gu Jinzhi asked Zhu Zhongjun to let go of his children, and the couple said private words, "I saw that I had given so many jade pendants. It must be the King of Jin that the emperor knew about it. The emperor asked you father and son to do so.

Don't mention it again?"

Gu Jinzhi's jade pendant is a closure fee.

Actually, this is true.

These jade pendants do mean this.

Zhu Zhongjun pulled her in his arms, hugged her gently, and then whispered: "I went and deal with the matter. No one in the palace knew that King Jin had compensated Yan Ying with the jade pendant, as long as Yan Ying and Yan Shan were not

Say it out..."

Gu Jinzhi felt a little confused and said, "Will the emperor come back to his senses and think something is strange?"

"...No. Unexpectedly, today this incident involved the prince and he was scolded." Zhu Zhongjun smiled, "The emperor is now full of dissatisfaction with the prince and concerns about going to war. He is not

I'll have the energy to pay attention to me."

Zhu Zhongjun was able to do things so well in the palace, which shows that he had many connections in the palace.

Gu Jinzhi thought that during his seven years in Luzhou, the money he sent to the capital every year accounted for 30% of the Luzhou treasury. That was a lot of money.

Now it seems that all the money is spent on the blade.

Gu Jinzhi nodded.

Zhu Zhongjun patted her on the back and let go of her.

Gu Jinzhi no longer mentioned this matter.

Later, the Queen Mother vaguely heard a little wind.

The emperor was so angry that it was impossible for the empress dowager who had always been clear-headed and clear.

She sent someone to investigate.

As a result, she did not find out that the King of Jin smashed Yan Ying's foot. She just heard that King of Jin met the prince in the Imperial Garden. The prince got angry and scolded the King of Jin a few words.

Finally, the prince took the King of Jin to the imperial study room to complain and accused Yan Ying.

The Queen Mother thought about it and found that the mastermind of the whole matter was probably the prince.

She was very angry.

Stealing is not a serious crime in terms of laws and regulations, but in terms of personality, it can almost erase all the advantages of a person. If Yan Ying is called stealing, she will probably be inferior to others in her life.

The Empress Dowager felt that the conflict between the prince and Zhu Zhongjun in the court actually involved a little child, and his methods were both lowly and vicious.

What if the empress dowager will make the prince dissatisfied in the future?

Will he treat the Empress Dowager or even the Emperor like this?

The prince's filial piety in the past became insignificant.
