Qing Dynasty: After reading my heart, Kangxi and the Nine Dragons are united

Chapter 157 Here it comes, Zhao Shenqiao retreats to advance

Scared, scared to tears?

The prince was stunned. He never expected that his own father would put such a big blame on him.

But the unscrupulous father would never admit his fault, he just smiled and said: "Isn't it? I thought you were afraid that I would punish Xiao Shiba for his shameless crime, so you couldn't hold back your tears in a hurry."

Prince:......

Very good, the hidden danger has been eliminated and his retreat has also been blocked.

He had no choice but to accept the charge of being a coward and fearing that something might happen to his brother, and then say something like he was a mean-spirited person and was judging others by their own standards, and finally kneel down and ask Khan Ama for forgiveness.

I went through the entire process, complaining in my heart as I went along: The Aisin-Gioro family is indeed narrow-minded as their ancestors have inherited it.

Khan Ama is the best among them.

My eighteenth brother never lied to me!

At this time, the prince even felt a little regretful that he did not have the ability to read minds like his eighteenth brother, and he could not let Khan Ama know his huge resentment.

As a result, the next moment, he was firmly protected by his eighteenth brother: "Everyone is responsible for his own actions! The mistake was made by Eighteen, so of course Eighteen must be responsible for it. Khan Ama, if you want to punish me, go to Eighteen, and don't bully the second brother, the crown prince!"

Kangxi:......

Great, today is another day where I successfully make things difficult for myself.

Even though he was angry, he couldn't help but show some relief when he saw his two most beloved children leaning on each other and being so intimate.

Besides the fact that the Eighteenth was the assistant star of the Qing Dynasty and the candidate for the next emperor of Yinreng, and that the Qing Dynasty would certainly be better if they were close, Kangxi also felt sorry for his beloved prince who had lost his loving mother at a young age and had few close friends. He hoped that he and the Eighteenth could be like the Fourth and Thirteenth, with one heart and one mind, and share weal and woe.

The prince paid no attention to his fatherly kindness and only thought that his chubby brother was easy to hug.

After calming down a little, Yinzhen changed the subject again, forcing the focus back to the Jiangnan imperial examination cheating case.

Now that the people have been brought back to the palace, the prince certainly won't keep it a secret anymore.

He smiled and told me everything he knew.

Yin Xuan was completely stunned: "So, it's not that Brother Ten did nothing, but that he deliberately condoned it?"

"Correct."

After experiencing the pain of not having a mouth, the prince now pays attention to this point.

Before answering, he always remembered to get himself out of the way: "I didn't expect that although my tenth brother seemed reckless, he was actually very meticulous. Not only did he investigate the officialdom in Jiangnan thoroughly in less than a year, but he was also not blindly impulsive. He was willing to calm down and carefully ponder and repeatedly consider things."

Who would have thought of it if I didn’t tell you?

The idea of ​​muddying the waters first and then taking advantage of the situation to catch all the culprits in one fell swoop was actually proposed by Yin?, nicknamed "Cabbage Ten".

Yin Xuan's eyes widened. "This... This kind of experience outside is really a training exercise! In just a few months, Brother Shi has made such great progress."

snort!

When this was mentioned, Kangxi was angry: "How can he say that he has made great progress? It's obvious that he has been hiding his incompetence all along!"

[Ah... this can't be blamed on the tenth brother, right? It was you, Kangxi, who played the balancing act on your sons and treated them as tools! The fifth brother was raised by the Queen Mother, and with the support of Khorchin, he was given a marriage with the Tatara clan. He has the lowest birth among all the princes' wives, making the fifth brother a joke.]

[You wanted to take over Prince An Yue Le's military power and banner power, so you let my brother marry his orphan granddaughter whose father died of a crime and whose mother passed away early. Later, you scolded my brother for being controlled by his wife, saying that it was you who sent him to be a "son-in-law" in the first place!]

[Tenth brother is even more outrageous here. He directly granted her a marriage with a Mongolian wife to cut off her thoughts from the root. Under these circumstances, if Tenth brother doesn’t pretend, he’d be courting death, right? Sixth brother…]

Seeing that he was about to mention Yinzuo again, Han Ama was deeply hurt.

The prince hurriedly smiled and tried to smooth things over while interrupting, "Hahaha, look at how awkward you are, Khan Ama! In fact, you are the happiest one that Tenth Brother has made progress, right? For so many years, you have worked hard to raise your sons, and you hope that we can become talented, help you share your worries, and serve the Qing Dynasty as soon as possible, right?"

Kangxi:......

Originally he was happy.

But now, he can't even laugh at all because of the little bastard who is always complaining about him in his heart, okay?

Having a son like this, I don’t know whether it is his fate or a calamity.

He was tired, and Zhao Shenqiao was even more tired.

After years of hard work and planning, the eldest son finally passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer in the imperial examination. However, as soon as the wedding banquet was over, rumors began to spread.

The eldest son was depressed all day and drank to relieve his sorrow.

As a father, he saw it all and felt pain in his heart. He tried every possible way to help his son vent his anger.

It just so happened that he was the Left Censor-in-Chief and happened to see the book "Nanshan Ji Ouchao" and found something wrong in it.

What is there to hesitate about?

Report it immediately and look forward to the double good news of a smooth career path for your own career and the removal of the stumbling block for your son!

I thought that with the old precedent of Ming history cases, this one would be a sure win.

As a result, Cheng Yaojin showed up unexpectedly.

The Eighteenth Prince, whom the Emperor and other princes have liked recently, took the lead in singing a different tune and argued several times.

It actually caused the emperor's attitude to change drastically.

He no longer had to nitpick to investigate Dai Mingshi's disrespect, but instead focused on maintaining the fairness of the imperial examination.

As a result, he failed to achieve his goal and his son was caught cheating in the imperial examination.

If we don't make a quick decision, he will be implicated as well.

For this reason, he sat in his study all night, then looked at his eldest son dejectedly: "Now that things have come to this..."

As soon as he started, he was mocked: "Father, what do you want to say? Come, let your son guess! You are such a kind father. In order to pave the way for your son, you have repeatedly spoken well of him in front of the emperor. You also hinted at it when chatting with the emperor. You knew the test questions long ago and gave instructions long ago."

"He was even angry at the criticism from the ignorant people and brazenly reported Dai Mingshi. Would he say something cruel when the time comes that his son is doomed anyway, so he might as well shoulder the blame alone?"

Zhao Shenqiao's words were stuck in his throat, unable to come out or down, his whole face was purple and swollen: "You, you rebellious son! I am unworthy of your father..."

"For me?" Zhao Xiongzhao sneered: "Haha, since you love your son so much, why don't you take responsibility for him again? Anyway, you are old and don't have much time to live. The future of the Zhao family still depends on my son and my second brother!"

The words that Zhao Shenqiao always said have now become a tool for his son to fight back against him.

He was so angry that he was breathing heavily and almost fainted.

The original reluctance disappeared completely, and I just felt that sacrificing the car to save the driver might not be a bad idea. It is better for one person to suffer than for the whole family to suffer.

At the next morning court, the chief eunuch Wei Zhucai said that he had something to report to the emperor, otherwise he would leave the court.

Zhao Shenqiao knelt down and cried, confessing that he had failed to educate his son properly, causing his eldest son, Zhao Xiongzhao, to cheat in the imperial examination, which seriously affected the fairness of the imperial examination. He was ashamed to face the emperor, so he asked to resign and retire.

Yinxuan instantly became alert: [Here it comes, Zhao Shenqiao’s famous scene of retreating to advance, it’s worth it that I’ve waited so hard for several days~]
