Chu Yi entered the palace to announce the good news.
The emperor personally named the child Chu Hongjue, nicknamed Jue Geer.
It was midsummer, and Brother Jue was lying on the couch wearing a bellyband, and his exposed arms were as white and tender as lotus joints.
Chu Hongyu and Chu Changsheng would sneak into Yun Chu's room as soon as they finished their homework. The two children rested their chins on their hands and stared at Brother Jue intently.
Brother Jue moved his little arms a little, and the little brother and sister immediately said excitedly: "Wow, our brother Jue is awesome."
"Brother Jue, your hands are so strong, so powerful!"
"Mom, the diaper is wet."
The wet nurse immediately stepped forward and took the child aside to change the diaper.
"Brother Jue has gone to drink milk, and the Crown Princess is also going to have a meal." Aunt Zheng took the two young masters to the flower hall.
Yunchu was still in confinement, so she ate in her bedroom. There was a small table propped up beside the bed, and Chu Yi ate with her.
"Chu Mo united with the Yushitai to impeach the prince's behavior, accusing the prince of not being worthy of the position of crown prince." Chu Yi said after eating almost all, "The East Palace was retreating steadily, and the queen made a stupid move and allowed the emperor to take away the Phoenix Seal. Now It is Concubine Hui and Concubine Yun who work together to build the harem."
Yunchu put down his chopsticks.
From her pregnancy to her confinement, Chu Yi rarely mentioned court matters in front of her.
She said: "Are we about to start?"
Chu Yi nodded: "There will be some unrest in the court, and I will have less time to come back. I have wronged you."
"Where are you wronged?"
Yunchu smiled softly.
In the past six months, their family had been traveling.
After returning to Beijing, for more than half a year now, he only handles official duties in Dali Temple for half a day every day, and spends the rest of the time with her and her children.
The second prince, Gongxi and Wang Chumo, should have been pulled from that position a long time ago, but in order to avoid any accident and allow the child to be born smoothly, it was postponed until now.
She was about to give birth, so it was time to get busy.
"You are in this position, some things are necessary." She took a sip of chicken soup and said, "Don't worry about me, I have to do something, otherwise I will be too fat and I will really be unable to see anyone."
"Where's the weight? This is just right." Mrs. Lin walked in from outside.
Mrs. Lin now comes to the palace every now and then, and can come and go freely. She sees Chu Yi sitting on the edge of the table with a small table to eat. The table is very short, so he can only sit on the shorter little Wuzi. His long legs were bent down under his head.
Lin was used to seeing scenes like this.
After all, there was a narrow bed in the house before, and Chu Yi slept on it for more than half a year.
"Mom is here." Chu Yi stood up, "I'm going out to see the two children."
When he left, he took the little boy out with him.
Mrs. Lin sat down by the bed and whispered: "I have to say that Chu Yi is much better than Xie Jingyu..."
When the baby was born prematurely at the beginning of the year, his body was exhausted, and he was in confinement, Xie Jingyu basically didn't show up.
As for Chu Yi, she has been by her side since her first pregnancy.
Other men usually take concubines when their wives are pregnant, but the backyard of Pingxi Prince's Mansion is clean.
It is enough to prove that this man can be trusted for life.
"Why are you mentioning that person?" Yun Chu said, "I heard from Chu Yi that the eldest brother has been promoted."
A smile appeared on Mrs. Lin's face: "Your eldest brother went to personally handle the farmland taxation matter in March, and by the way solved the problem of refugees that had always existed in that place. He made a great contribution. The emperor was not stingy, and promoted your eldest brother from the seventh rank to the fifth rank. The quality has been upgraded two levels in a row."
Yunchu knew that over the past year, his eldest brother had not restrained his talents, but had shone brightly and made many meritorious deeds, which was why he was promoted so quickly.
As a result, the Yun family's momentum surged again.
But so what?
This life is completely different from the previous life.
When the child was one month old, Yun Chu and Chu Yi agreed not to hold a banquet. Now that the atmosphere in the court was treacherous, they would not give anyone an opportunity to take advantage of it.
On the third day of Yunchu's confinement, Chu Yi kissed her on the forehead and went to court.
It was still the old rule in the previous dynasty. The ministers took turns to start the speech, talking about important matters of people's livelihood. After finishing speaking, the people from the Yushitai came forward to impeach a round of impeachments, mainly impeaching the prince for not being worthy of his position, impeaching King Pingxi for not doing his job properly, and impeaching the emperor for not doing his job properly. The majesty of the mother of a country should be damaged... In short, it is a symbolic impeachment.
Finally, Eunuch Gao asked if anyone else would start playing. If not, today's court session would be over.
"If you have something to do, start the show, if nothing happens, leave the court!"
A member of the Gongsun family came out.
The emperor's face darkened.
In the past six months, Dong Gong and Lao Er have been going back and forth, and every time something bad happens, it's either a male from the Gongsun family molesting a woman, or an evil slave from the Gui family oppressing the people. He has heard all these bad things. Tired of it.
"Report to the Emperor, I have something to report to you!"
The people from the Gongsun family lifted up their official robes and knelt directly on the ground.
Chu Yi's eyebrows flashed.
Last night, he arranged for someone to send an anonymous letter to the Gongsun family. The letter contained physical evidence that Chu Mo had participated in imperial examination fraud over the years.
The queen is now weak, so she will naturally not miss this opportunity to overthrow Chu Mo.
The people from the Gongsun family loudly said: "The imperial examination was the most important way to select talents in the Jin Dynasty, but some people used the imperial examination for personal gain and placed a large number of their own people in the court!"
The emperor's expression suddenly changed: "Come quickly!"
The Gongsun family immediately presented evidence: "According to Wei Chen's private investigation, it was found that at least ten people who passed the Jinshi examination over the years had met with King Gongxi before the examination. This cannot mean anything, but Wei Chen also investigated It turns out that these people have all deposited money in the bank for King Gongxi, and the ones with the highest amount of money have been successful in the officialdom. Now the one with the best success has entered the cabinet, and his official position is only lower than that of a bachelor... …”
Chu Mo's head was buzzing.
More than half a year ago, Xie Shian came to tell him that Chu Yi was investigating the imperial examination.
He arranged for death soldiers that day to kill the few officials who knew about it. As for the evidence... he had wiped it clean long ago.
In the past six months, Chu Yi had not made any move, so he thought that the matter had been completely covered up, and he relaxed his vigilance.
But he never expected that someone from the Gongsun family would stab him out on this ordinary morning.
In other words, the queen and the third child have joined forces!
"Your Majesty, the imperial examination is the foundation of the country. If there is fraud, then I don't know how many real pillars have been buried in these years!"
"Involving in the imperial examination will affect the foundation of the country. This matter cannot be ignored. The emperor is also requested to thoroughly investigate King Gongxi and the Gui family!"
"King Gongxi participated in the imperial examination and installed his own people in the court. This is obviously because he covets the position of crown prince and wants to replace him!"
"..."
Chu Mo knelt on the ground with a plop.
Every prince has that thought, but everyone hides it in the dark. If it is brought out in the open, it would be a serious crime!
"My son is unjustly accused!" Chu Mo prostrated on the ground, "Since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, we have selected countless pillars through the imperial examination. How dare I get involved in the imperial examination! Please, my father, investigate this matter thoroughly and restore my innocence!"
He didn't know how the Gongsun family found the physical evidence.
But without witnesses, everything is in vain.
My father would never convict his outstanding son because of these specious evidences.
