Prince Tong's dissatisfaction with his family, or his anger towards his brother, was largely due to the fact that they came to the door at the wrong time and ruined his and Emperor Chongde's plans.
"They don't want to continue to tolerate those who like to jump around and interfere in their personal feelings and private lives."
After sitting for a long time, Song Qiyun stood up and walked slowly around the room. He looked at Shen Cha who was about to fall asleep on Shen Haolin's shoulder. He ran to the inner room and took a blanket and gently covered her body.
Shen Cha didn't sleep particularly hard, but was just a little confused. Feeling the weight on her body, she slightly raised her eyelids, glanced at Song Qiyun, and closed her eyes again.
"That year was the third year that Emperor Chongde ascended the throne. Because in the past three years, Emperor Jiaren and the Queen Mother passed away one after another. Even though he was not very close to these two people, he still had to observe the etiquette that should be observed. . So, a lot of things were delayed because of this. The most important thing is Enke."
"Enke?" Jin Miaomiao raised an eyebrow, "Indeed, since ancient times, when a new emperor ascends the throne, Enke has been required. However, did they decide to only hold a literary test, or all civil and military tests?"
"The literary test will be held first, and then the martial arts test will be held one year later. The chief examiner of the martial arts test has been decided, Prince Tong. The deputy examiners are three generals under Prince Tong, as well as three veteran generals from the Ministry of War. The military officers in the hall were very satisfied with Emperor Chongde's arrangement. They didn't have to do anything. They only needed to train their little brats hard before the official start of the martial arts test so that they could achieve good results in the martial arts test. Just bring shame to the family. In other words, as long as they can be favored by the old generals and Prince Tong, and be taken into their respective subordinates, they will have no choice but to take the frivolous title of Wu Zhuangyuan. I don’t care.”
"Sure enough, the generals think clearly. They know that false reputations are not important, but real ability is the most important."
"It's a pity that civil servants can never understand this, thinking that military generals are just showing off their strength and fighting with ruthlessness." Song Qiyun shrugged, "After the military examination was arranged, Emperor Chongde began to consider the most troublesome literary examination. The imperial examination It is a big event, and the literary test is always taken more seriously than the martial arts test. Therefore, when the news came out that Enke might be offered, the literati in the world went crazy. Students must seize this rare opportunity and leap over the dragon's gate. And in The ministers of the court, especially those in the Hanlin Academy, were even more happy, as if it was the New Year."
"It's not a happy day. Their own small groups are ready to take action again. They can use various names to contact and build relationships, and try their best to get their own people into this Enkoli. If possible, it is best to Arrange your own people in key positions. Various small groups are working secretly, and in the later stages they start to attack each other, trying to kick each other out of this encore."
"This battle is not only between the examiners, but also among their students. Many students missed the opportunity for various reasons. It can be imagined how fierce the battle was this time. "Shen Haolin looked at Shen Cha, who was already sleeping on his shoulder, and said softly, "Before releasing this news, Emperor Chongde and Prince Tong had already anticipated this situation. Why were those students disqualified from the reference? Why did those officials They will be convicted for various crimes. In fact, they know very well that the secret guards sent out have already investigated clearly. "
"Furthermore, this is only the early stage. As the news of Kai Enke went from rumor to confirmation, this situation of bickering and stumbling behind each other became more and more intense. Later, it was not just civil servants quarreling in the court, but even The generals have also been affected. As the leader of the generals, King Tong is the first to bear the brunt."
"What does this have to do with military generals? Do you have children at home taking the literary test?"
"Indeed, there are, but not many, and they can't make any big waves." Song Qiyun waved his hand, "There is news in the palace that His Majesty wants Prince Tong to serve as the double examiner for the literary and martial arts examinations. Although it has not been officially announced yet, But it seems to have been determined.”
"Before every scientific examination, news about the examiners is flying all over the sky. No one will know the real news until the emperor announces it. How can they be sure that it must be Prince Tong?"
"We can't be sure, but we must prevent this matter from becoming a reality. Just the rumors have already made the civil servants too angry. They think that Prince Tong is crossing the line, insulting them, and infringing on their interests." Therefore, one day in the morning meeting, they changed their previous style and launched a fierce attack on Prince Tong. "
"Didn't Emperor Chongde and Prince Tong expect this?"
"As expected, they spread this rumor just to test the reaction of these civil servants. Also, Emperor Chongde really wanted Prince Tong to be the examiner of the literary examination, but this time Prince Tong refused. So, Candidates are still under consideration.”
"Those civil servants will cry when they know the truth. They didn't even bother to make wedding clothes for others."
"In the end, all the civil servants became united. As long as it is not Prince Tong, they don't care who is appointed as the examiner."
"I understand." Jin Miaomiao nodded, "As long as it's not King Tong."
Song Qiyun nodded with a smile, "The things that attacked King Tong have basically been returned. Just when they were preparing for the final attack, Prince Tong's family came. The one who entered the capital was none other than Prince Tong's. My elder brother personally brought people here, hoping to recognize Prince Tong. After they arrived in Xijing, they took the initiative to visit Prince Tong many times, but they never saw Prince Tong in person. They were stopped by the housekeeper at the door of the palace. "
"Prince Tong doesn't want to see them?"
"I really don't think much about it. There are various reasons, but the main one is related to Emperor Chongde. If he is recognized back, he will leave Xijing and Emperor Chongde. Although they are still in an ambiguous period, there is nothing special. Their feelings for each other were clear, but neither of them wanted to leave the other, so King Tong did not want to see them. But this was seized by the civil servants, and they used it to attack King Tong, saying that he was deceiving the emperor and neglecting his superiors. It is said that he abandoned his family and came to flatter the king, and is a traitor. He cannot stay with the king, his throne must be abolished, and he must be driven out. This is a scourge and cannot be left behind."
"Originally, Emperor Chongde and Prince Tong were able to deal with these civil servants with ease. They were getting rid of those extremely active guys step by step. The plan was more than half way through, and it was about to succeed. As a result, Prince Tong's brother Guang Kuangji jumped out, disrupting their plan and leaving them completely passive." Shen Haolin sighed, "But after all, he is a relative of Prince Tong, and Emperor Chongde originally I didn’t want to punish them, I just wanted to coax them back to the south of the Yangtze River. But I didn’t expect that Prince Tong’s brother was so bold that he actually wanted to break into Prince Tong’s palace to kidnap people and kidnap Prince Tong in broad daylight.”
"They..." Jin Miaomiao swallowed, "Are they crazy?" She looked at Song Qiyun, "How could the descendants of King Jing be so obsessed with the Yan family's other courtyard?" Are you thinking about taking Prince Tong’s body back home?”
