Through stripping cocoons, the emperor and Prince Fu locked candidates.

It's Zhang Wenchang, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs!

I never expected that it was this person. You must know that Zhang Wenchang's reputation has always been very good. Prince Fu doubted him and no one doubted him.

Zhang Wenchang was the No. 22 scholar in [-] years, a few years earlier than Lin Ruhai. He was from a poor family with only a widowed mother. His mother sent him to study by embroidery. His tired eyes were almost blind.However, he worked hard himself, and was admitted to the number one scholar in less than [-] years old, and he can be called a talented person in the world.

Zhang Wenchang is not only outstanding in knowledge, but also very capable, and has always been a lonely and loyal minister. The emperor trusted him very much, so he was able to become the Minister of the Ministry of Households at the age of less than fifty, crushing most of the officials in the dynasty. People like Lin Ruhai can compare.

But Lin Ruhai is not the same as him, Lin Ruhai is from an aristocratic family, and his family is a scholarly family, with a lot of resources for studying, and he even worshiped Dean Yu as his teacher early on.Although Lin Ruhai's father died young, he still had a close relationship with the emperor.

But Zhang Wenchang is a poor man, he has to work hard on his own, and he has put in more than ten times and a hundred times more effort than ordinary people.But he did it abruptly and became the emperor's number one confidant, ranking ahead of Lin Ruhai.

The emperor never expected that it was this person who colluded with the enemy country for money.

The emperor asked Prince Fu to copy Zhang Wenchang's home, but the result was extremely unexpected. Not only did the Zhang family have no extra money, but they were also impoverished.

Zhang's mansion was rewarded by the emperor after Zhang Wenchang's meritorious service. The Wujin courtyard has a large area.At the beginning, it was also a pavilion, full of flowers.

But now, although the outer courtyard has not changed, the backyard has been transformed into a vegetable field. Except for the courtyard where Mrs. Zhang lives, and the house of Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang, and Mrs. San, the other houses raise many chickens and ducks. Raised a lot of fish.

The Zhang family had no servants, except Mrs. Zhang who went out to carry the four servants who carried the sedan chair and a housekeeper in name, only Mrs. Zhang had a servant girl to serve her.

Zhang Wenchang has only one wife, and his wife gave birth to him two sons and a daughter. The vegetables, chickens and ducks in the backyard are raised by his wife and children.

The family lived a very simple life. According to his wife, all the household expenses were earned by her growing vegetables and raising chickens and ducks. Zhang Wenchang never took a penny from the family.

The dignified Mrs. Shangshu of the household department actually grows vegetables at home, raises chickens and ducks, so as to support herself and her children.As a father, Zhang Wenchang never cared about it.

The two sons of the Zhang family still do not know a single character.Mrs. Zhang is a peasant woman who cannot read and cannot teach her children, and Zhang Wenchang never pays attention to her children.

Who would have thought that the sons and daughters of the dignified champion would actually work at home every day.

This thing is too strange!

Does Zhang Wenchang have any feud with his wife and children?

If there is enmity, then why marry a wife and have children.

When Anxi heard about it, a series of gossip flashed through his mind.

Sure enough, art comes from life, and things are so bloody.

Although Zhang Wenchang came from a poor family, he was relatively lucky. At the age of 12, he showed an amazing talent for reading.

Zhang Wenchang basically grew up in Han's family, so he and Miss Han's family can be called childhood sweethearts. They have been together for a long time and have a good impression of each other. However, one is Han Sheng's granddaughter and the other is Han Sheng's apprentice.

In this day and age, master master, master, is equivalent to half a father.

Therefore, Zhang Wenchang and Ms. Han are different generations, and they are destined not to be together.

When Miss Han reached the age of Jiji, she entered the palace election and became the emperor's concubine. She is now the concubine De, the mother concubine of the third prince.

Although the two could no longer be together, Zhang Wenchang still couldn't let Concubine De go in his heart and refused to get married for a long time.

The widowed mother forced her to die, so Zhang Wenchang married his current wife under the auspices of his mother.But even after getting married, Zhang Wenchang still ignored the existence of his wife, as if there was no such person at all.

As for their two sons and one daughter, the widowed mother drugged them and forced Zhang Wenchang and his wife to consummate the birth.

Because of this, Zhang Wenchang not only resented his wife and children, but also dissatisfied with his widowed mother.

As for the widowed mother, she couldn't control her son. Seeing that her daughter-in-law had given birth to the blood of the Zhang family, she would finally have no offspring, so she didn't care about it anymore, and devoted herself to worshiping the Buddha in the Buddhist hall.

Without his mother's pressure, Zhang Wenchang completely ignored Mrs. Zhang, mother and child, and moved to the main courtyard by himself, completely blocking the passage between the main courtyard and the back courtyard.

In other words, from that day on, Zhang Wenchang never saw his wife and children again.

Scum, what a scum!

Didn't ancient times value blood?

How could Zhang Wenchang treat his own child to such an extent, ignoring him for so many years?

Thinking of this, Anxi seemed to see the green light above the emperor's head.

Not only Anxi, but even the emperor himself couldn't help wondering whether the third prince was his own.

Concubine De was not favored when she first entered the palace. It was a chance that she conceived a child. At that time, the emperor had not many sons. The emperor still looked forward to this child, although it was not as good as the eldest prince. The fourth prince and the eleventh prince are much better than the other princes.

But now that this incident happened, the more the emperor thought about it, the more something went wrong. Others are so favored that they can't conceive. You just got pregnant this time?

Don't be cheating.

But after so many years, there was no way to prove it, but the emperor's heart gradually tilted the balance towards suspicion.

If it wasn't his own son, why would Zhang Wenchang go all out to get money for the third prince, even at the expense of cooperating with the enemy and betraying the country?If he wasn't his own son, why would Zhang Wenchang ignore the three young masters and young ladies of the Zhang family and wholeheartedly help the third prince?

Perhaps to avoid suspicion, on the surface, Zhang Wenchang and the third prince did not have any intersections. The third prince's backer was Concubine De's natal family, Han Sheng, a great Confucian, and Concubine De's father, the Minister of Rites.

No one could see that Zhang Wenchang was special to the third prince.

It was also through this thorough investigation that the emperor and Prince Fu found out how much Zhang Wenchang had done for the third prince. Not to mention all the money he got over the years went into the third prince's pocket, but many ministers in the court They all secretly took refuge with the third prince, and Zhang Wenchang brought them here for the third prince.

The reason why Zhang Wenchang colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country was not only for money, but also to attack the eldest prince and the fourth prince.

The eldest prince has military exploits and has some real power in the army, while the fourth prince is backed by nobles and has many generals to support him.

Zhang Wenchang wanted to let the military generals who supported the First Prince and the Fourth Prince die on the battlefield, and the generals he hired with a lot of money would take their place.

At that time, the third prince will not only have the support of civil servants, but also the secret assistance of the military officials. Even if the emperor is dissatisfied with the third prince, he will have no choice but to make him the crown prince.

What should be done and what should not be done, Zhang Wenchang has done it for the third prince. After all this, who can believe that the third prince was not born of Zhang Wenchang's adultery with Concubine De?

Can Zhang Wenchang achieve this level only by relying on the little friendship in his youth?

Regardless of whether others believe it or not, the emperor does not believe it anyway, and his heart is completely full of conspiracy theories.

The anger of being cuckolded directly overwhelmed the emperor's rationality. Overnight, Concubine De died, the third prince died suddenly, and Zhang Wenchang was tortured to death.

Both the Zhang family and the Han family were implicated in ransacking their homes. The emperor was very angry and wanted to kill them all.Fortunately, Prince Fu entered the palace in time and saved them under the pretext of using waste.

After hearing what happened, Anxi guessed that the rest of the Zhang family and the Han family were dead, but Prince Fu found out that they were really innocent and had nothing to do with Zhang Wenchang's matter.

Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang's family have a husband and father like Zhang Wenchang, it's really bad luck. Not to mention the benefits, they will be implicated if something goes wrong.

Mrs. Zhang is also the same. She worked so hard to raise her son and send him to study, but in the end she got old and was implicated and imprisoned.Mrs. Zhang passed away within a few days after entering the prison.

The Zhang family was wronged, and the Han family did not give way too much. As a teacher, Han Sheng also worked hard to teach Zhang Wenchang, but because he refused to let the two be together, Zhang Wenchang became resentful, and after he was admitted to the number one prize, he never got on the board again. Pass the door of the Han family.

Now, because Zhang Wenchang is his student, the entire Han family has been implicated.Han Sheng seemed to be ten years older, and his original energy and spirit disappeared all of a sudden. The reason why he hanged his life to hold on was because he wanted to see the fate of his children and grandchildren.

Anxi approached Prince Fu and asked if they could save their lives. As long as they survived, even if they were sent to the frontier, it would be good.

Prince Fu looked at Anxi gravely, but Anxi did not flinch. It was more than a dozen lives, and Anxi really couldn't turn a blind eye.

In the end, Prince Fu sighed helplessly.

"Zian, I know you are kind, but you also know that there is no way."

"I heard that the emperor is still very angry and doesn't feel relieved at all. Shouldn't someone be left to vent his anger on the emperor? Besides, it's a pity that people are killed, waste is used, and people are needed in the frontier. It just happens to fill these death row prisoners. Sometimes it’s harder to be alive than to be dead.”

Anxi also knew that in this way, the Zhang family and the Han family might suffer, but this was the only way Anxi could think of to save their lives.

Prince Fu looked at Anxi, opened his mouth, but still didn't say anything, couldn't bear to hit him, and sighed, "Forget it, I'll go to the palace and talk to the emperor."

Hey, Zian is still too young, he doesn't know that some punishments will make life worse than death.

Sometimes, life is worse than death.

But Zi'an is too kind, the world in his eyes is too clean, he can't bear to break Zi'an's fantasy.

That's it, since Zi'an doesn't want to see people die, he will help him this time, but what will happen to them in the future, it's better to keep Zi'an a secret, otherwise he will definitely be sad.

Does Anxi really not know how much torture the Zhang and Han families may face in the future?

no!

Anxi just considered that within a few years, the current emperor had abdicated and became the Supreme Emperor, passing the throne to the next emperor.

The so-called one emperor and one courtier, when the new emperor registers and the emperor retires, they will have a chance to breathe.Moreover, when the new emperor ascends the throne, he will definitely pardon the world. Maybe they can still live a normal life, which is better than dying now.

If you die, it's really over.

But Anxi couldn't tell others about this, he could only ask Prince Fu for help with a kind excuse. Simply, Prince Fu had a very good impression of him and was willing to help him.
