Chapter 158 If Kangxi's father were like that, I would look down on him
As soon as this joyful little tune was played, the princes immediately smelled the scent of melon.
Famous scene!
From the time I was able to hear my eighteenth brother’s inner voice until now, every time these three words appeared, there was nothing exciting.
Tsk tsk.
They were looking forward to it very much, but as another melon owner, Kangxi could not be happy at all.
After all, he seemed to have quite a bit of appreciation for Zhao Shenqiao in the past.
The next moment, Yinzhen's real evidence came: "Here it comes, he has already burst into tears, feeling guilty about the emperor and ashamed to continue serving in the court. Father Kangxi should be furious, blaming him for his angry words and not being a minister, and then ordering him to continue his duties, right?"
[Speaking of which, Kangxi's father quite likes this old fellow. He once said that Shen Qiao was very honest, but he had a temper, and everyone was afraid of his honesty. I saw that he was selfless, so I protected him and cherished him. In the end, he became an ungrateful person who dared to use him as a gun.]
[The Nanshan case implicated countless people, and Kangxi's reputation plummeted, setting a bad example for the increasingly severe literary inquisitions. However, the old man surnamed Zhao rose step by step and became the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Even though he raised an eldest son who was a top scholar with excessive water content, and a second son who was called the world's most corrupt official by Kangxi's father. It did not prevent him from being awarded the title of Prince Taibao during the Yongzheng period and being enshrined in the Temple of Sages and Good Men...]
Kangxi:! ! !
He swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue, raised his hand and threw a cup of tea at Zhao Shenqiao: "Asshole! Such a big thing happened, and as the Left Censor-in-Chief, you didn't do your duty, impeached him strictly, and did your best to maintain the fairness of the imperial examination. As a father, you didn't know how to investigate carefully and deal with the aftermath actively. Otherwise, because of your rebellious son, the imperial examination and the court will suffer more losses."
"Instead, you threw the music sheet in front of me and threatened me with giving up the task?"
This……
This is completely different from what he expected!
Zhao Shenqiao was dumbfounded, and knelt down in a cold sweat: "Your Majesty, please understand. I dare not threaten you! I just... I just feel ashamed of your promotion and trust, and I don't know how to face your Majesty. So..."
"Your Majesty, I am wronged! My son has been smart since he was young and has studied very hard. Although he is not well-known for his talent because he concentrates on studying and rarely socializes with others, he is a real talent. I never expected that he would..."
Zhao Shenqiao covered his face and cried bitterly, looking like he was about to break.
The character of a loving father is fully developed.
Many people in the court felt sympathetic. They felt that although Lord Zhao had been a bit harsh in the past, he was still an upright person. It was a pity that his family was unfortunate to have such an unfilial son who brought shame to the ancestors.
Yinzhen, who was listening to these whispers, suddenly realized: "I knew it! Kangxi is not stupid, why would he forgive him again and again? It seems that this old guy is playing the game of sympathy! ]
[According to the original historical trajectory, Zhao Shenqiao's good second son Zhao Fengzhao's bad deeds happened in the 53rd year of Emperor Kangxi's reign. Emperor Kangxi had already established and deposed his second brother, the crown prince, twice, and was exhausted physically and mentally, and felt that it was difficult to be a father. It just so happened that at this time, the old minister he had always been optimistic about had the same regret as himself...]
[Tsk, tsk, tsk.]
Yinxuan didn’t say anything after that, but it seemed like he said everything.
Kangxi was so angry that he said word by word, gritting his teeth: "In my life, I hate being treated like a fool the most. We have been king and minister for many years. If you are willing to confess today and admit that you deliberately picked a fight with Dai Mingshi for your beloved son and did not hesitate to use me as a knife, I can let you go and let you live. Otherwise..."
The murderous and cold gaze frightened Zhao Shenqiao: "Your Majesty, I will..."
Kangxi didn't have that much time to argue with him, so he just asked him to think carefully about his nine clans before speaking.
"Your Majesty, you cannot..."
"I can!" Kangxi said solemnly, "As the Son of Heaven, I hold the power of life and death. I have always been the sole ruler and can decide the life and death of many people and their nine clans."
[Threat, an obvious threat!]
[With history...]
[Forget it, forget it. I don't know which butterfly flapped its wings now. History has collapsed to the point where it cannot be recognized. It doesn't have much reference value. It can only be used as a comparison at most. So don't worry about it! Now, I am just concentrating on eating melons and waiting to see how Lord Zhao chooses between me and the Nine Clans.]
The eldest prince raised his eyebrows and thought that this boy was too mischievous.
But in order to satisfy his brother's desire to eat melons, he still gave a friendly reminder: "Master Zhao, don't be lucky. There is no wall that is impenetrable. As long as you do it, there will be no trace left. But your nine clans will never come back to life."
Zhao Shenqiao wanted to defend himself, but the eldest prince laughed at him and said he would not give up until he reached the Yellow River. He wanted to test the strength of the royal secret guards!
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Shenqiao immediately turned into a puddle of mud.
"No, no, no, no! I confess, I confess everything... It was me, I was afraid that Xiong Zhao would not do well in the exam and would not be able to win first place. When I was talking privately with the emperor, I hinted at the scope of the palace exam questions. I told Xiong Zhao privately and urged him to prepare early."
"During the palace examination, the emperor had some impression of him and appreciated his talent, so he gave up Dai Mingshi, who was originally the first place winner, and appointed him as the top scorer in the Golden Examination..."
The plan was finally realized, and both father and son were overjoyed.
As a result, before they could be happy for long, they started to talk about it.
They all say that Zhao Xiongzhao is not worthy of his reputation, and that he relies on his father being a high-ranking official...
He does not mean that.
Zhao Xiongzhao felt guilty and wronged, and was afraid that his crime would be exposed, so he decided to take the initiative and use the Nanshan incident to crush Dai Mingshi to death.
Who would have thought...
Zhao Shenqiao cried, his heart filled with regret: "If I had known this would happen, I would not have been so obsessed as to let Xiong Zhao fight for that stupid top prize. Wouldn't it be good to be the runner-up?"
This heart-wrenching cry made the entire court silent.
Although Lord Zhao's behavior is not worthy of praise, it is pitiful to see the love of parents in the world!
His original purpose was just to help his son's career.
I didn't expect that I would get stuck in this situation step by step.
Amidst countless sighs and groans, only Yinzhen wished he could turn his little mouth behind his ears.
[Tsk, what is this called? You are like a big snot crossing a river, you remember to throw it away, you made a mistake and was sentenced, you know to repent! If this can be forgiven, then can we just cry like this after killing someone or setting a fire in the future?]
[Haha, if Kangxi father gets sick of his kindness at this time and raises it high and then puts it down gently, then I will look down on him!]
Well, once this thought was expressed, all the princes and Prince Yu Baotai knew that they could light candles for Lord Zhao.
as predicted.
Kangxi, whose feet were touched, gritted his teeth, his old face instantly turned black as the bottom of a pot, and he clapped the Zhenshanhe in his hand: "Asshole, what did you say if I had known this would happen? If I had known you were such a person, I would have promoted you all the way to the high position of Zuodu Yushi!"
