The Prosperity of Jingdi Chronicle

Wei Yan once said to the emperor that he wanted to treat the princes equally. In fact, when he said this, he didn't know how to behave equally. In the end, he couldn't think about it and came up with A stupid way is to have no contact with the princes, and to keep a distance from all the princes' relatives. It doesn't matter who is good to whom, and it doesn't matter who is bad to whom, so naturally, they are treated equally.

For this reason, although he would pass by the Xianyang Palace where the princes and clans studied their homework every day when he inspected the defense of the palace, he never entered it.

If it weren't for the cries and cries that came out that day, which could be heard several miles away, he probably wouldn't have gone in.As a result, as soon as he entered, he saw a scene that made him tremble with anger.

In the family motto of the Wei family, there is a very important one that brothers are of the same mind, and their profits cut through gold. Old Master Wei taught his sons to support each other respectfully from an early age. In addition, Wei Yan was young and weak. He grew up pampered and spoiled by his father and brothers.

In Wei Yan's impression, the elder brother is the kind of existence who will let him eat something delicious, play behind his back if it is fun, get into trouble and do something wrong, and be scolded for him and punished for him , his elder brother is like this, he thought that all elder brothers in the world are similar, at most some elder brothers will have the habit of admonishing others to love secretly like his father, absolutely never imagined that there would be someone in this world who would kick his younger brother into the icy cold pool brother.

When he scolded Jing Qi, his face was already very ugly. If he didn't still have a sliver of reason in his mind, reminding him that the person in front of him was the prince, the one thing Wei Yan wanted to do most at that time was to kick him. Jing Qi also kicked into the water, letting him taste what the pool water in winter is like.

Wei Yan, a person who has always been self-disciplined and polite, had such a rebellious thought in his mind, which shows how angry he was at that time.

"Who do you think you are? Why teach me?" Wei Yan scolded sharply, and the servants around Jing Qi knelt down in fright, but Jing Qi was not afraid of him, and raised her head to confront him in his anger See.

This person is nothing but a coward and a sycophant. He thought that relying on his father's favor, he would be able to have no distinction between superiority and inferiority. Who, why should he be afraid of him?

"You—" Wei Yan saw that the second prince still didn't have the slightest intention of introspection at this time, and his face turned livid with anger. However, in his position, he really couldn't justly teach the prince a lesson, and was speechless for a while.

What happened in Xianyang Palace has already alarmed many people. Seeing that more and more people are rushing over, arguing with the prince in public and embarrassing the prince may be fun to do, but the consequences will definitely be endless, Wei Yan Seeing that the situation was about to escalate, the people around him quickly reminded him not to get angry and save lives.

Only then did Wei Yan realize that the little prince in his arms had turned pale from the cold, his lips were blue and his breath was weak, and he couldn't care less about competing with the second prince, so he quickly found a warm room and asked someone to call the imperial doctor for treatment .

Xianyang Palace has its own imperial physician on duty. With such a large group of children together, bumps and bumps are unavoidable, and not everything can be known by the superiors. Just got bullied.

The imperial doctor didn't take it as a matter of making noise outside at the beginning, but no matter how the royal family mistreat each other, it is a family matter. If there are other people helping to mistreat each other, or if something happens to the little prince when he is on duty Mistake, if the higher-ups pursue it, it will definitely be a serious crime that will lose his head. The imperial physician did not dare to be lazy and perfunctory.

The little prince's life is safe, and the rest is to take good care of him.

If there are other princes with mothers and concubines, Wei Yan's nosy business will end here. The prince's mothers and concubines will take over, and they will definitely try their best to make people healthy.

But this sixth prince...

Wei Yan swept around the room and found that the people around the sixth prince, old and young, were all in ragged clothes, with bruised noses, swollen noses and swollen faces, crying, and he was really worried about entrusting him to their care.In addition, the little prince, who had been so frightened, kept clinging tightly to his skirt, and refused to let go no matter how much he coaxed him. Finally, after thinking about it, he brought him back to the emperor's bedroom.

Wei Yan didn't need to talk about it. After returning, he must have been in a hurry before coaxing the little prince to rest.

It is only said that such a big event happened in Xianyang Palace, it is impossible to hide it from the higher-ups, the emperor is still in the early court, and has not received any news for a while, so the first person to have an attack is the Queen Mother.

The queen mother always favors the second prince, but this time she not only reprimanded the second prince severely, but also used a ruler that had never been used before.

"Queen mother, calm down. If the queen mother breaks her body because of this incident, the sons and ministers will be unforgivable." Although the second prince broke into this disaster, the third concubine was ordered by the emperor to take care of the harem. Of course, I have to apologize to the Queen Mother. The concubines, headed by Concubine Zhou, came to the Palace of Compassion after receiving the news. Just in time, the Queen Mother used a ruler to teach the second prince a lesson. Knowing that the Queen Mother wanted to call someone else, they hurried forward to dissuade them. The dissuasion, pleading guilty pleading guilty.

"Don't you all try to persuade me, the Ai family has been hurting this evil for nothing all these years, and the elder brother doesn't even understand the principle of friendship and love for brothers, where did this book go?"

The Queen Mother said no persuasion, but who would dare not persuade.

It is impossible for the queen mother to be wrong, and it is impossible for the emperor to be wrong. The second prince is young and ignorant, even if he is wrong, it is not his fault. Of course, the fault falls on others.

In the end, the empresses and concubines were lax in discipline, the grand tutors were ineffective in teaching, and the servants were not careful in taking care of them. Everyone from top to bottom was guilty, and everyone blamed themselves.But even so, Jing Qi was slapped dozens of times, and then punished to copy the filial piety scriptures several times.

When Jing Li went down to the court and received the news, the Queen Mother had already finished the punishment, so he called someone over to give him a lesson, and by the way, see if the Queen Mother's punishment was true or not.After seeing Jing Qi's miserable appearance, he saw that the Queen Mother was not playing for selfishness, this time he gave Jing Qi a real lesson, let him go back after scolding, and turned around to look for the bad luck of the Taifus.

Although he has not established a prince yet, the teacher in Xianyang Palace who is in charge of teaching the princes homework still bears the name of the prince and Taifu. After all, the future prince will always come from among those princes, so this title does not matter. It's empty.

Although Jing Li himself didn't take seriously the various principles that his tutors loved to say, but when it was his turn to choose teachers for his sons, he also put in a lot of thought, and he chose well-known and learned teachers. Seniors, but did not expect such a thing to happen.

"Teachers are well-versed in poetry and books, why don't they even teach you the four characters of respect?" Jing Li and the Queen Mother are indeed mother and son who are connected by blood.

But after careful study, he was right. No matter how many books you read, if you don't even understand the most basic etiquette of human relations, this book will be regarded as a waste of time.

Jing Qi didn't expect the emperor's grandmother to be so angry.His father would punish him for this matter, he had already been mentally prepared, but he really didn't expect that it would be the emperor's grandmother who punished him.

He is the king of the prince, he is the eldest son, and he has always been favored by the emperor's grandmother. Everyone in the palace flatters him. On the head, I have never suffered such a bitterness like today.

Now, his fingers are swollen as thick as a radish, and the pain is so painful that he can't even hold the pen, but he is still copying the filial piety scriptures over and over again, and he gathers around him on weekdays, worrying about this and that, afraid that he will be thirsty or that he will be hungry All the maids and servants who were afraid that he might be tired disappeared, leaving him locked up in the palace alone.

Every time I write down, it hurts deeply. Jing Qi, who never bowed her head in front of Wei Yan, and Jing Qi who never begged for mercy when she was beaten, is now in pain and grievance. Tears are falling drop by drop, falling on the On the rice paper below, the written words suddenly became a mess.Naturally, I dare not hand in such words. The pain just now was in vain, and I have to start all over again.

He raised his hand and wiped his tears with his sleeve, but he wiped more and more, finally couldn't hold back, threw away the pen, and cried with his head in his arms.

The queen mother heard the crying inside, sighed, opened the door and went in.

"Qi'er, do you know you're wrong?"

"Grandmother, grandson refuses to accept...not to accept..."

"You want to say why the Ai family punished you without even asking the cause of the incident? The Ai family asked you, can your sixth brother be sorry for you?"

"It is true that the Sixth Brother did not, but they said..."

"Shut up, those are the words of gossips, can you believe them?" The palace has long since replaced old ones with new ones, but those who are interested in the past will always remember a thing or two, waiting for an opportunity to tell tales and cause trouble. It's just that she didn't expect the disaster to come so soon, and she didn't expect Jing Qi to be so stupid as to do such a stupid thing in broad daylight.

"Do you know why the Ai family punished you for copying the scriptures of filial piety? It is unfilial for you to disrespect your brothers and make your brothers feel sad and sad for the emperor's grandmother; it is unfilial for you to mutilate your siblings and worry about family affairs while your father and emperor worry about state affairs. ; You have no dignity and grow up, and your words are not condescending, and your father and emperor are displeased, which is unfilial."

"Grandmother..." After being reprimanded by the Queen Mother, Jing Qi threw herself into the Queen Mother's arms and burst into tears.

The queen mother waited until he was almost crying, then touched his head, and said softly:

"Qi'er, you have grown up, and there are some things you must understand. This is the imperial palace, and the imperial grandmother can protect you for a while, but cannot protect you forever. How many pairs of eyes are staring at you in this palace, you are right. You can see mistakes, how can you stand up to making big mistakes yourself? As a king, you should have a heart as broad as the sky, and you can tolerate what others can't. This is what your grandmother taught your father since childhood , Now the emperor's grandmother is passing on this sentence to you. If your heart is only as big as the eye of a needle, and you can't even accommodate your own brothers and feet, how can your father be at ease in the future to hand over the country, the country, and the people?"

Jing Qi continued to sob in the empress dowager's arms, not knowing if she had heard it.

"If it wasn't for Commander Wei this time, I'm afraid you would have made a big mistake. In a few days, remember to admit your mistake to Commander Wei and thank you, you know?"

"Yes." After an unknown amount of time, the Empress Dowager finally heard Jing Qi's reluctant yes.

Such a child cannot be taught, even the empress dowager who has taught the emperor, the emperor, can't help but start to have some headaches.

The second prince was beaten for this matter, and the relevant personnel from top to bottom were reprimanded, some were dismissed from their posts, and some were fined. Everyone thought that the matter should be over at this point.Even if the sixth prince suffered a lot of grievances this time, but the second prince is the eldest son, the most noble among the nobles, being punished like this can offset his wrongdoing.

But the emperor's face has been gloomy since then, making the life of the officials suddenly difficult.

There is a saying: if Wei Yan is angry, the emperor will suffer; if the emperor is depressed, the officials will suffer.

Although no one has heard of this sentence, the causal relationship in it is real.

Jing Li's complexion has always been unsightly, and the main reason is of course Wei Yan.

That day, Wei Yan brought the sixth prince into the emperor's bedroom. Because the sixth prince had been unwilling to let go, and even though the sixth prince was young, Wei Yan did not dare to bring him into the palace openly. In the emperor's sleeping hall, people were placed in the side hall.

That night, in order to take care of the sixth prince, he rested in the side hall.

Jing Li rested alone, already full of grievances, in the middle of the night, the sixth prince who had been frightened during the day suddenly started crying, Wei Yan coaxed him for a long time, but he couldn't coax him well.

In the silent winter night, any sound could be heard far away, not to mention that the crying lasted for a long time, Jing Li couldn't sleep well, got up and rushed to the side hall, but he was not the master of coaxing the child, so naturally he couldn't do it well either, His temper came up, and he couldn't help scolding the child sternly.

After hearing this, Wei Yan didn't say anything about him, but directly kicked him out on the grounds that the emperor would have to worry about state affairs tomorrow.

His two sons were involved in this matter, Wei Yan was furious again, Jing Li didn't dare to provoke him, so he touched his nose and came out dejectedly.

After this night, it was another night, Jing Li remained alone on his pillow, awakened by crying in the middle of the night.

Now, can Jing Li's face look good?

The emperor's face was ugly, in fact Wei Yan's face was even more ugly.

Since that day, the sixth prince has been crying every night, and everyone tried their best to coax him to do so. Every time he cried hoarsely, he could barely stop, and he still sobbed from time to time in his sleep.He invited an imperial physician to come for diagnosis and treatment, but he couldn't see what was wrong. Wei Yan had no experience in raising children, so he was in a hurry for a long time, but there was no effect. In just a few days, his body lost weight.

Jing Li saw it in his eyes, felt pain in his heart, wished to throw that tormenting brat out directly, and was afraid that Wei Yan would be even more angry if he did this, so he just thought about it, depressed, he had no choice but to rely on Torturing and torturing others for a living, this life is not to mention how difficult it is.

On this day, he heard that the old lady in Wei Yan's family made a move after knowing the situation, and it really worked. The sixth prince had already slept soundly, and finally carefully mentioned the matter of moving back with Wei Yan.

After hearing what he said, Wei Yan didn't say good or bad, but just stared at the note in his hand carefully, obviously pretending that he didn't hear it.

"Everyone who deserves to be punished has been punished. Even Jing Qi, I have seen it personally. Her palms are swollen to the height of two fingers. The Queen Mother is not showing favoritism. If you are still dissatisfied, tell me, and I will definitely do it." Satisfy you." Although Jing Li's words sound nice, they are already angry words.

Because of those two bastards, he has been lying low for a while, and he couldn't make Wei Yan look good.

"Your Majesty blames this, blames that, why don't you reflect on yourself? This kind of thing must have happened a long time ago. If it wasn't for Your Majesty's negligence, how could it have deteriorated to such an extent?" By this time, the emperor hadn't found the problem. How could it be so eloquent.Wei Yan endured it for a long time, and couldn't help it anymore, so he just threw the words back.
