After binding the mistress system, raise cubs and train husbands in the mansion
Chapter 142 Imperial Academy Examination
Seeing this, Chen Yuntang quickly took out his other half. Sure enough, the two halves were connected to form a complete jade pendant.
With a cry of "wow", the two of them hugged each other and cried bitterly.
"Son, I have been looking for you for a long time."
"Father..." Chen Yuntang didn't know what to say. He had suffered a lot and endured a lot of humiliation over the years. He had tried to commit suicide several times but failed. In the end, he had no choice but to accept his fate.
Fortunately, he saved the jade pendant with his life.
Minister Shang looked at this touching scene of family recognition, but instead of being moved, he felt a little panicked.
This child is actually the son of the Chief Censor? Oh my God! What on earth did his son do?
He turned his head tremblingly to look at the emperor, only to see that several people's eyes were filled with anger.
"Your Majesty!" Chen Yu pulled his son to his knees, "Your Majesty, I and your son thank you for your grace."
"You don't need to thank me. It's all thanks to the Princess of Qingyang that you were able to find the child successfully."
Chen Yu turned around and bowed to Yun Zhihan, "County Lady, I will never forget your great kindness."
"Lord Chen, please stand up quickly!" Yun Zhihan was ashamed. How could she dare to take credit in front of the emperor? Did she want to die?
"This time, we are all thanks to the Emperor's assistance. I alone would not have been able to do this. This is all thanks to the Emperor's wise decision."
The emperor nodded with a smile on his face.
The son accepted it, and the next step was to deal with the Shang Mansion.
"Minister Shang!"
"I'm here!" He immediately knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head.
"Explain to me what is going on?"
"Your Majesty, I really didn't know this man was Lord Chen's son. I deserve to die! Please punish me, Your Majesty!"
"Don't worry, you won't escape punishment." The emperor snorted and laughed, "Thank you, guard!"
"I'm here!" Bai Chen took a step forward.
"Search the Shang Mansion, especially Shang Peng's room, and show me what other shameful things he has done."
"Wei Chen obeys!"
After saying that, Xie Bochen led a group of guards to start a thorough investigation of the Shang Mansion.
Minister Shang was kneeling on the ground, trembling all over and sweating profusely. Mrs. Shang, who was kneeling beside him, was in tears and full of regret. If she had kept a closer eye on her son at the beginning, he would not have committed so many mistakes.
Looking at Madam Xie again, if they could marry into the Xie family, perhaps their business would still have room to ease the situation.
It was also his fault that he did not listen to his son's advice. If he had asked the emperor to issue an order to marry Xie Baijin, Yun Zhihan would definitely speak well of Shang Jia in front of the emperor.
Yun Zhihan quietly watched everything in front of him and listened to Tongzi revealing the secrets to him.
"Hanhan, that's incredible!"
"What? Tell me now."
"Bai Chen found the correspondence between Shang Shangshu and the Minister of Rites. Although the content is obscure, it can be seen that they want to support the fifth prince to ascend to the throne."
Yun Zhihan's eyes lit up, "Zundu, are you kidding? Why keep this letter instead of burning it immediately?"
"Maybe he didn't expect this day to come?" Tongzi praised, "It's mainly because Chen'er is amazing. He specializes in searching places like that."
"These letters were all found in a wall. It seems that he has learned your true teachings."
Yun Zhihan was just happy for a moment, and immediately retorted, "What do you mean by getting my true teachings? Am I the kind of person who likes to dig into other people's privacy and steal their girlfriends?"
Tongzi rolled his eyes silently and said nothing.
"Your Majesty! I found these letters in Shang Shangshu's room. Please take a look."
"Hand it over!"
"Yes!"
The emperor flipped through the letters in his hand and saw that the ministers in the court were no longer loyal to him and had already started to select a successor behind his back? Great, very good!
He threw the letters hard at Shang Shangshu's face.
"Sir Shang is really brave. I am still alive! You are just looking forward to the change of master, right?"
Shang Shangshu picked up the letter on the ground, and felt a cool breeze behind him. How could it be? He had hidden these letters well. Unless they pushed down the wall of Shang Mansion, they would not be able to find them at all.
Push the wall? He was terrified. Did Xie Bochen really do that?
"Your Majesty! I dare not!"
"Don't dare? I think you dare!" The emperor was furious and rebuked, "Minister Shang, I was wondering a while ago, you haven't made any achievements in these years, what have you been busy with?"
"Today I finally opened my eyes. It turns out that he is busy paving the way for the fifth prince!"
"Your Majesty! I know I was wrong! I beg Your Majesty to show some leniency and spare Shang Jia's life!"
"Hmph!" The emperor was too lazy to talk to him, "Someone come!"
"My subordinate is here!"
"Imprison all the owners of the business, suspend them pending trial, and seal off the business. No one is allowed to enter without my permission! Violators will be executed!"
"Yes!"
……
After the emperor returned to the palace, he angrily scolded the Fifth Prince and Concubine Liu, and also banished Concubine Liu to the cold palace, where she reflected on herself for three months.
As for the fifth prince, the emperor issued an edict that from that day on, he would be sent to his fiefdom and would never be allowed to set foot in Shangjing again.
As soon as the imperial edict was issued, the entire court was in panic.
The emperor was so angry that he was bedridden.
On this day, Murong Yu and Murong Yan came to the imperial study together to visit their father, and the queen was taking care of the emperor.
"I pay my respects to my father, the emperor, and my mother, the empress!"
"You're here? Go and persuade your father to worry less."
After saying this, the Queen went out, leaving them some time alone together.
"Prince, have you reviewed the memorials recently? Is there anything new?"
"Reporting to the Emperor, since the positions of the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Personnel became vacant, the ministers have submitted memorials one after another, urging the Emperor to select suitable talents to fill the positions as soon as possible."
"If it takes too long, it might cause chaos in the court."
"Oh! How could I not think about it?" The emperor propped himself up and sat up. His face was pale and his hair turned white overnight.
"But Du Yulang's case has implicated too many officials, and the Du family is still in prison. How can we find the right person until these issues are resolved?"
"If the official promoted is also a person involved in the case, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?"
Murong Yu reminded, "Father, why not hold a grand examination in the Imperial Academy? First, to check the knowledge of all the adults, and second, to fill the vacancies in the current court."
The emperor thought it made sense, "But the Imperial Academy exams are held every five years, and this is only three years later."
"Father, I think what my elder sister said makes sense. Now is the time when the court is looking for people. The imperial examination will take half a year, but the court ministers cannot wait. I think this is a good opportunity."
After hearing what the prince and princess said, the emperor also thought that this might be a good idea, but he also knew that Yu'er must have selfish motives in saying this.
"Yu'er wants Bai Yuan to be able to take on the job, right?"
"Father..." Murong Yu blushed instantly. If she said no, she would definitely be lying. Which woman doesn't want her husband to achieve great things?
"Hahaha! No problem. I also want to see how much knowledge this future prince consort has gained."
