Chapter Thirty: The Heirs

Qin Wangsan followed Chunjia into the study with both joy and anxiety.

Of course, the joy was because of the matter that had troubled the King of Qin for a long time, and the emperor solved it in a few words, and he was clearly on his son's side; the anxiety was because the King of Jin had just been kicked out.

After entering the door, King Qin knelt down first: "Father, the fifteenth brother..."

"It's been a day or two for that bastard." Chun Jia waved his hand, telling them to leave King Jin alone, "Sit down."

The three sons were given seats, and the emperor rarely looked at the three biological flesh and blood carefully one by one.

The eldest son Qin Wang is the oldest, and now he is the tallest, with sword eyebrows and star eyes. Although he has been loved since childhood, he has never encountered any setbacks. Now the childishness between his brows is still there, but he is also pampered and gradually cultivated to belong to him. Tianhuang nobles have a touch of majesty.

Of course, in front of the emperor, this majesty is too immature, I just feel a little bit of my family has grown up.

The seventh prince is the one with the most xiaochunjia appearance among the many princes so far, and he is recognized as having a graceful literary talent. Because he has not yet been crowned king, he is only wearing ordinary clothes at the moment; and because he is accompanying his elder brother to plead guilty, he dare not dress too gorgeously, and is afraid that being too simple will lead to bad luck, so he wears a blue brocade robe, which looks elegant.

Looking at him, Chunjia remembered the rumors of the palace ban that he had heard, saying that the Seventh Prince looked like him before he ascended the throne.

Looking at it now, I can't help feeling that the rumors are true.

At that time, he was keeping a low profile, if he didn't know his identity, he behaved like an ordinary nobleman.

It's still the kind of noble family who looks spoiled and spoiled.

The Seventh Prince has a calm temperament and a quiet temperament. If it weren't for the fact that the brothers under the same mother and concubine were generally restless, he himself would never cause trouble.

It is the kind of worry-free heir most popular with parents.

Because of this son, the emperor thought a little of his biological mother, Concubine Wen Huixian.

To be honest, his impression of Yin Xuan has faded.

I just remembered that when this concubine first entered the palace, she was beaten by the noble concubine, and later she did some things to fight for favor... Originally relying on her family background, as long as she doesn't hate the noble concubine too much, it is not difficult to find a place in the palace.

But rushing to dystocia, people say no, it will be gone.

After that, Yin Qu unexpectedly entrusted his grandson to the imperial concubine to be raised...

The emperor settled down, withdrew his thoughts, and turned to the Ninth Prince.

This son is the most negligent male heir in front of the imperial concubine.

After all, there is the eldest son, King Qin, the youngest son, King Jin, the seventh prince and Yin Qu to help him beat the side drums, and the ninth prince really has nothing... Unexpectedly, Chunjia would look a little different today.

The Ninth Prince's appearance is handsome... This is compared with ordinary people.

Between brothers, it can be regarded as the kind that is more than inferior than superior.

Like the Seventh Prince, because he was not crowned king, he wore ordinary clothes to court, but he was wearing an indigo brocade shirt with a jade belt and a golden crown, which looked regal and gorgeous, and his lips became redder and teeth whiter.

The emperor sized him up for a moment, then suddenly said: "Before you even refused to go to the household department that your mother and concubine picked for you, so that the household department minister personally reported to me... Today, it is for your elder brother, is it so courteous? "

In front of his father, the Ninth Prince didn't dare to say that he was still being lazy, so he said with a smile: "If you go back to your father, the minister is also upset when he hears about the big brother outside. That's why..."

"That's why you guys came up with bad ideas, and you actually went to the palace to persecute me?" The emperor snorted.

The Ninth Prince refused to admit it: "If you go back to the father, how dare the ministers persecute the father? The ministers have no choice. After all, who doesn't know that the elder brother is the eldest son of the father, and he has been favored by the father? That's it These days, those courtiers are as crazy as they are, and they can’t wait to go to the table to impeach the eldest brother without asking indiscriminately... Father, you don’t know, even Qiongjiu Palace has been talking about it these two days, to put it bluntly Eldest brother seems to be heinous! But not to mention that the lowly servant girl was bribed to frame elder brother, even if elder brother really did something he shouldn't do on a whim, with his father, mother and concubine around, it's their turn to dictate what he wants ?”

"They behaved like this, they did it on purpose, deliberately to disrespect their father, mother and concubine!"

"The minister there thought, since this is the case, the ministers should simply go to plead guilty by themselves, so as to prevent them from continuing to make noise in front of the father, right?"

Chunjia said with a half smile but not a smile: "You are a good brother, and you are considerate for your elder brother."

"I don't dare." The Ninth Prince said cautiously, "I just feel that if there is something wrong with my eldest brother, my father, mother and concubine will naturally punish me, and my younger brothers will also advise me, so how can it be outsiders' turn to talk? "

The emperor glanced at the King of Qin next to him, and saw that he was approving and looking at him eagerly, and couldn't help being angry for a while.

He said in his heart that these two children were obviously raised by a mother and concubine, and even King Qin received more attention and cultivation, why are they so stupid?

He didn't even realize that the Ninth Prince was stepping on his elder brother to attract his father's attention, and even thought that the Ninth Brother was speaking for him?

It is simply a typical example of being sold and helping to count the money.

"Xiaoqi, what do you think?" The emperor was heartbroken for a while, and even thought of his heir father Xiaozong.

Because he is the only son of the eldest son, he is also the eldest son. It is said that he was brought by Shenzong to love him in every possible way since he was a child. Almost as long as he can remember, he has personally taught him by precept and example... But he taught a man who was widely loved when he was the prince. He was a mediocre emperor who was well received and ruled by the Ji family everywhere after becoming the emperor, and finally died in depression.

Chunjia thought that this was because Shenzong was the kind of emperor who could be a promising king himself, but was not good at training his heirs.

Looking at the King of Qin now, he suddenly felt, could it be that the environment is too pampered, and it is doomed not to be able to raise capable heirs?

It can't be that he has a bad fate like Shenzong, and he doesn't have a capable heir to inherit the throne, right?

This is absolutely impossible!

Chunjia made up her mind, so she asked the Seventh Prince, "What do you think about today's incident?"

The Seventh Prince was stunned, and immediately said: "It's my son's fault if I go back to my father, I have been in the school these days, and I haven't noticed the predicament my brother is facing in time..."

In fact, because of his background and temperament, the Seventh Prince is considered to be one of the more popular among the emperor's heirs.

It is impossible for him to ignore the matter of King Qin.

But at that time King Qin was full of confidence, he only said that his father, mother and concubine would solve it, and the seventh prince was also full of confidence in his father, mother and concubine, so he didn't ask any more questions.

It wasn't until this time that the Ninth Prince approached and persuaded him to participate.

Of course these emperors knew it well, but they praised the son for his kindness in their hearts.

But Chunjia remained calm and continued: "Don't talk about these things, I just ask you, how many of you brothers, come to the palace today to persecute me, what do you think?"

"Returning to the emperor's words, the ministers dare not." The seventh prince said quickly, "The ministers just want to share the worries of the father, mother and concubine."

Chunjia said: "Oh? Share your worries? So, the King of Qin sincerely wants me to strip him of his title and make him a commoner?"

Seeing King Qin nodding without hesitation, the emperor was speechless again.

Of course he understood that the eldest son could not be willing to lose his title for such a small matter.

Nodding so quickly, it can only be said that King Qin trusts his younger brothers, the emperor and the imperial concubine very much, and thinks that it is impossible for these people to make him lose his title.

"I am your own father, and the imperial concubine is your adoptive mother who raised you single-handedly. Of course, the elders can't give up on you just because of this, but you brothers, you also trust like this?" Chunjia sighed in her heart, feeling that she just felt that before. This eldest son is not suitable to be the crown prince. Looking at it now, King Qin is no longer unsuitable to be the crown prince. It is because he is a bit of a vassal king. He may be sold by a shrewd brother one day. I don’t know!

What did he and the noble concubine do wrong to teach such an emperor's eldest son?

Chunjia slandered in her heart, but said: "Since that's the case, then I will do what you wish and turn around and demote the King of Qin, okay?"

Hearing that the Seventh Prince and the Ninth Prince were both stunned, they said in unison: "Father, no!"

King Qin was also stunned for a while, but he didn't panic, but said: "Father and emperor have orders, and I dare not refuse to listen! But before Rong Erchen leaves the palace, he will bid farewell to mother and concubine in person."

"A bunch of bastards, they know how to blackmail me by relying on the concubine's love!" Chunjia knew his thoughts like the palm of his hand, and cursed in his heart, "If I didn't know that the concubine would definitely protect you, I really thought I wouldn't give you a long memory?! "

He said lightly: "I have already said that I dare not disobey my words. I don't want you to see the noble concubine. How do you treat it?"

King Qin didn't panic, he just said in a low voice: "The minister there respectfully obeys the holy order!"

His mother and concubine are amazing, even if they can't cry and complain about their grievances in person, can such a big matter be hidden?

Chunjia scolded another "bastard" in her heart, and then said: "What's the matter with Jin Wang today? He has no rules! When all the officials are kneeling, he is laughing and disrespectful!"

"Father, the fifteenth brother is young..." The seventh prince pleaded subconsciously, and was scolded by the emperor after he said a word: "Don't always pretend to be young! Fifteen is also eight years old, and he is serious about going to school It's been two years, and he's still young and ignorant? Then what's the use of letting him go to school! Or is he still ignorant and ignorant after studying for two years? Then what are the many teachers I hired for him for!"

He also said, "When the King of Qin and Zhaoqing were eight years old, they didn't find so many things for me!"

The seventh prince laughed and said: "Father, when the elder brother and elder sister were eight years old, they didn't have the opportunity to go to court! The fifteenth brother went to court for the first time, so he couldn't help being curious. For his sake. I also beg my father to be magnanimous, and not to argue with my fifteenth brother."

The Ninth Prince also said: "Yes, Father, after all, the fifteenth brother is only eight years old. Although it is summer now, the cold air has not dissipated. If the fifteenth brother kneels outside for a long time, I am afraid that his health will be bad. At that time, isn't it the father, the queen, the mother and the concubine who feel distressed?"

He deliberately bit down on the word "mother concubine" to remind the emperor that this is not your son alone!

Both younger brothers had spoken, and the King of Qin finally found a chance to interject and said, "Father, didn't you say earlier that all your subjects are your flesh and blood, if you don't feel sorry for them, who else can you care about? The same goes for the fifteenth brother." Your flesh and blood, I beg you to think of him as the first offender, don't worry about it, okay?"

Chun Jia said slowly: "It's not impossible not to punish Fifteen. It's just a lack of manners in front of the imperial court. If you just downplay it like this, it would seem too conniving to you. Well, I originally planned to make Fifteen kneel down four times. time..."

"I am willing to be punished on behalf of my fifteenth brother!" Before he could finish speaking, the king of Qin said first, "I am the eldest brother, so I should protect my younger brothers. Besides, what happened today was caused by my son, so what punishment is there?" How can you teach your younger brothers to be wronged if you come together with this son-in-law?"

The Seventh Prince and the Ninth Prince were a step behind, but they also expressed their willingness to share the burden for the elder and younger brothers.

Although the emperor thought carefully about them, he was quite satisfied with the relationship between brothers and sisters. In the past two years, he has been extremely tolerant to Ming Hui, and what is he doing to Prince Yi Yongchun frequently?

Of course, part of the reason is to do it for the world to see, but it's different now, his throne is stable now, and even if he doesn't do it, it won't have much effect.

So the main thing is to hope to subtly influence the descendants, and hope that they will fight for their return, and don't be too disrespectful.

As long as the brothers and sisters are no longer threatened, it is better to think about the survival of the flesh and blood.

Seeing this, he put on a straight face, taught him a few words, and finally agreed to let King Qin kneel for punishment.

The Seventh Prince and the Ninth Prince wanted to help kneel for an hour or two, but they were scolded by the emperor, but they didn't agree, but they thought in their hearts: "Xiao Qi is kind, Xiao Jiu has some thoughts, but I don't know if it's because of urgency. Do you want to be a good brother, or do you really not see what I mean?"

Although King Qin was framed for the heated material discussions before, after so many days of fermenting, his reputation has indeed been ruined.

Even the Xuanqing Palace has been discussed a lot.

Yun Fenghuang was once regarded as a traitorous concubine by the public, otherwise why would she raise a despicable and arrogant prince like King Qin?

Now that Chunjia asked the Secretary of the Imperial City to announce the truth, he naturally wanted to arrange for his son to do some good deeds to wash away his previous impression.

"Ah Huang is Ah Huang after all, and all the descendants have been brought up. Although they have different temperaments, they all have their merits." After sending the three sons out, Chunjia thought to himself, "King Qin is innocent but with a heart of a child, Xiao Qi Honest and docile, Xiao Jiu looks lazy but has a clever mind... As for Fifteen, apart from being a little clever and mischievous, I don't know what will happen in two years?"

As he said that, he asked someone to summon King Jin alone.
