Chapter 99 The Emperor's Abacus Failed
Although he was much better, Mrs. Jiang still took care of her son personally.
Jiang Zhongyan's injuries were actually not serious. Those who attacked him were all old people in the mansion. They knew that the old lady did not really want to punish the second master, so how could they dare to hit him hard.
The reason Jiang Zhongyan did not go to the morning court was because he had other things to do.
According to the information Si Chenye investigated, and the secret investigations by the Jiang family themselves, the Jiang family has already figured out the entire matter.
Princess Huayang was infected with a strange disease, and Prince Zhuang sought help from an expert for the sake of his beloved daughter.
The master gave him an idea to find a person who matched the princess's horoscope to marry him. Only the fusion of yin and yang could help Princess Huayang avoid this disaster.
Unfortunately, the person with the same horoscope as Princess Huayang is Jiang Jixun.
Prince Zhuang believed that Jiang Jixun could help Princess Huayang avoid this disaster, so he came to propose marriage regardless of his face. Now that the matter was exposed, Prince Zhuang had no choice but to tell the truth.
They even tried to make the Jiang family compromise by raising the dowry.
But how can the Jiang family be so greedy for money?
The Jiang family told Prince Zhuang what they found. Princess Huayang was not infected with a strange disease at all, but was poisoned by someone, and the person who poisoned her was the emperor.
Prince Zhuang knew that the emperor was plotting against his daughter, and he was furious. He thought that his daughter's poison needed an antidote, but he didn't know what to do?
At the critical moment, Si Chenye invited a person with superb medical skills to detoxify the poison.
Afterwards, Prince Zhuang and the Jiang family broke off their engagement, and the two families came up with a reasonable way to deceive the emperor.
First, Jiang Zhongyan found a more famous Taoist priest outside. The Taoist priest had been favored by the Jiang family. After learning about the matter, he agreed immediately. He first came to the capital with a strong excuse. When he passed by Prince Zhuang's Mansion, he found the demon.
The air is diffused.
It happened that Prince Zhuang came back from outside and met the Taoist priest. The two met happily.
After entering the mansion, the Taoist priest discovered that there was an evil spirit at work in Prince Zhuang's mansion. He immediately cast a spell to catch the evil spirit and cured Princess Huayang's illness.
Poor Princess Huayang was once infected by evil spirits, and her body was prone to attract evil spirits. Prince Zhuang was reluctant to bear the suffering of his beloved daughter, so he begged the Taoist priest to find a way.
The Taoist priest took pity on Prince Zhuang's love for his daughter and suggested that he take Princess Huayang to a Taoist temple for two years of spiritual practice, and then he could go down the mountain after his body recovered.
Although Prince Zhuang was reluctant to leave his daughter, he had no choice but to agree for the sake of her daughter's physical appearance. Princess Huayang left with the Taoist priest, who was already in the Taoist temple in the mountains.
After sending his beloved daughter away, Prince Zhuang made a plea and asked to return to his fiefdom.
The emperor repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay, but Prince Zhuang had already decided to leave. The emperor had no way to stop him, so he had to let the Ministry of Rites arrange the matter.
"Does Prince Zhuang know something?" the emperor asked the eldest prince.
The eldest prince was as arrogant as the emperor. He said: "Who can cure the intoxication in the palace? Besides, it is hidden at this time. Prince Zhuang will not find out. As for the Taoist priest, hasn't my father already sent someone to check it out?"
?”
After the engagement between the two families was terminated, the emperor ordered an investigation. After the rescue, it was found that the Taoist Priest was indeed quite proficient in the art of Qi Huang, and it was not impossible to save Princess Huayang.
It's a pity that the emperor's long-planned plan came to nothing.
The emperor sighed: "I originally wanted to use Princess Huayang's illness to sow discord between the two families, but now that it's good, all my plans have come to nothing."
The emperor prepared for this plan for nearly half a year.
The result was about to come true, but in the end it disappeared. It was really frustrating.
The eldest prince saw that the emperor was angry and wanted to share his worries.
"Father, actually you don't have to be so wary of Prince Zhuang. Prince Zhuang is your biological brother and a descendant of the Li family. He will never plot evil like Si Chenye."
The eldest prince could not forget the death of Concubine Yun. If it had not been for Si Chenye, his mother and concubine and even the entire Yun family would not have suffered the disaster.
He will have to settle this account sooner or later.
The emperor waved his hand. Although he hated Si Chenye, he still relied on him for many things. "Although Si Chenye has different intentions, he is just an eunuch."
Prince Zhuang is different.
The emperor relied on Si Chenye to sit in his current position. At the beginning, the late emperor did not leave any edict to pass on the throne. He was in the wrong position. If Prince Zhuang takes advantage of this and takes this opportunity to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, those who support him will
There will definitely be no less.
The emperor's eyelids also twitched, and he had a bad feeling in his heart. Prince Zhuang's departure might bring huge trouble to the court.
The eldest prince did not agree with his father's thoughts: "Father, although Prince Zhuang is a descendant of the royal family, he has never had any intention of rebellion, and he has always respected you. But Si Chenye is different. He is your greatest
opponent."
The eldest prince believed that the common people were in dire straits, the local bureaucracy was redundant, and the warlords were in chaos, all caused by Si Chenye. If he could take power into his hands earlier, the world would not be far away from peace.
The emperor said angrily: "Don't say that again in the future. No matter how disrespectful Si Chenye is, he will never be the emperor in this life."
The eldest prince didn't understand why his father was so afraid of Si Chenye. He obviously hated Si Chenye in his heart, but why did he stop him every time he wanted to get rid of Si Chenye.
The eldest prince couldn't understand, his face was full of dissatisfaction.
The emperor frowned slightly. Although the eldest prince was older, he was still a little too naive. Of course Si Chenye had his reasons for not moving. Si Chenye deserved to die, but it was not yet time. When the time came, it would be difficult for him to live.
.
Poisoning was too sinister. The emperor didn't want the eldest prince to know, so he changed the subject, "I heard that you often go to the racecourse to ride horses recently and don't even read books. How can this be done?"
As the eldest prince, you should set an example for your younger brothers and sisters, and you should be both civil and military."
The eldest prince's face turned pale, he lowered his head and admitted his mistake, "I know I was wrong."
The emperor didn't really want to punish him, but he softened when he saw the eldest prince admitting his mistake, "It's fine if you want to practice more martial arts and strengthen your body, but if it's just to show off your lust for a little girl, you're totally wrong.
wrong."
"I don't have any children." The eldest prince said harshly, his hands hanging at his sides clenched tightly into fists.
Ever since the eldest prince was defeated by Si Chenye's daughter, he has been holding his breath.
Although he tried his best to hide it, he was still a child, so how could he hide his thoughts from the emperor?
"It's fine if you don't have one. Don't skip classes in the future. Since ancient times, all emperors have not governed the country with rules. No matter how powerful they are, they will not be able to govern the country well."
The eldest prince frowned, his father was not good at writing or martial arts, so was that why he couldn't manage the country well?
