The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 347

"The Holy Majesty has loved the eldest prince more in recent years!" Liang Zhirui also understood why Gu Chengyu asked this.

This is related to the battle for the reserve position, especially since the Holy Majesty has not established a crown prince yet.

Before going to court, civil and military officials would argue endlessly about this, and the Holy Majesty either said nothing or left in a huff.So far, only a few officials who are not afraid of death will bring up the old matter again.

"What about before that?" Gu Chengyu heard the teacher's implication that the eldest prince was only born of a noble concubine.

The second prince born by the empress is a descendant, but not the eldest son.It is conceivable that this is another battle between dragons and tigers, not to mention that there is a third prince watching over him.

"It's hard to say." Liang Zhirui felt that it was pretty much the same before. At that time, Shang Sheng's health was not so bad, and it was considered equal to the rain and dew for his sons.

Gu Chengyu understands the teacher's character, this is almost the same, they are all treated equally.

However, he then thought of the fourth prince, "Then how is your majesty treating the fourth prince?"

It stands to reason that this son is far away from the struggle for the throne, has lost his mother, and is not in good health, so he should be loved more.

Liang Zhirui's expression was a little weird, "The fourth prince has been named King Jing, and a palace has been opened not far from the palace."

Gu Chengyu was very surprised, was he named prince so early?Is this to make him give up early?Does it mean that he is insulated from the throne?

However, he became puzzled again, "Since you have been enfeoffed as a prince, why don't you go to fief the land?"

"It was conferred three years ago, but the Holy Majesty has not crowned the fourth prince for a long time, so he didn't go to the fiefdom. The officials asked each other, and the Holy Majesty said that it would be fine to wait until the age of 20."

Liang Zhirui felt that His Majesty's intentions were becoming more and more difficult to guess. If he wanted the fourth prince to be an idle prince, he didn't want to crown the fourth prince early.However, if you talk about petting, there is no such thing.

When he was in power, he often went for walks in the palace, and met the fourth prince several times.The Holy Majesty was very indifferent to the fourth prince, even if the fourth prince went to pay his respects, he had to wait outside for a long time.

At that time, he could only think of it as the Holy Majesty's dislike for the fourth prince's biological mother.

"Then he is living in the mansion now, right?" The prince can no longer live in the palace when he is an adult, and the emperor will build the prince's mansion outside the palace.However, those are all grown-up princes who have not yet been titled.

It is really rare for someone like the fourth prince to be given a title, but not crowned or given a fiefdom.

Could it be that the Holy Majesty hates his son so much that he can't even bear a fief?That shouldn't be possible. If it's really annoying, why not give it a remote fief and get people away so as not to be an eyesore?
"Then when did the other princes get crowned?" Gu Chengyu could only search for some useful information in the teacher's words.He hasn't been to the capital yet, and he can't get in touch with these people, so he certainly can't understand the meaning of His Majesty's actions.

And these are exactly what he wants to know in the future.After all, it shouldn't be difficult for him to take the Jinshi exam.

"Other princes are crowned at the age of 15. Whether it is the royal family or the aristocratic family, they will let their children be crowned in advance, so that they can receive errands earlier."

This Gu Chengyu understands that in the Dayan Dynasty, people can get married at the age of 15.In the farm family, it can be regarded as a labor force. The children of the aristocratic family and the royal family can be crowned early, so they can do things earlier.

However, in this way, the actions of the Holy Majesty are a bit intriguing.

"Nowadays in the palace, virtuous concubines are the most favored, and the Holy Majesty also respects the empress." Liang Zhirui then told Gu Chengyu a few words about the layout of the harem.

Because it was a harem, it was impossible for Liang Zhirui to know too much. He just said a few words objectively according to the opinions of the court, and did not express his own opinions subjectively.

Gu Chengyu knew that the teacher was afraid that his opinion would affect his judgment.

Regardless of whether it was the affairs of the court or the affairs of the harem, Liang Zhirui only said some obvious things, as for other analysis, there were only a few.

"The teacher thinks, who is that Mr. Hu on the boat? Does the teacher have a clue?"

Liang Zhirui pondered for a moment, and then said: "As far as I know, there are several adults with the surname Hu in the imperial court. However, the one who can be sent by the Holy Majesty to investigate the case is most likely Hu Maoqing, the censor of the left deputy capital. Tell me about his appearance in detail."

In fact, Liang Zhirui felt that if the inspectors were really sent down, they would usually only be officials from the Inspectorate.

Hu Maoqing is a third-rank member of the Inspectorate, and if he can be sent down, it seems that the Holy One attaches great importance to this matter, or maybe the Holy One no longer wants to be patient with that one?

The capital city, maybe the sky is about to change!

Gu Chengyu described Hu Maoqing's physical characteristics, Liang Zhirui nodded while listening, and he was sure that this person was Hu Maoqing.

"It's a good thing you didn't get involved. This matter is thankless. With your three-legged cat skills, it's important to protect your life!"

Gu Chengyu also didn't elaborate on his abilities, so of course Liang Zhirui didn't believe what Gu Chengyu said.

"Okay! I've been talking about this for over an hour! Do you want to stay in the mansion for dinner today or go back?"

It's already Chen Shi Mo, and his granddaughter came to the mansion, but he hasn't gone to see it yet. Today, he has already asked for leave from the school, just to wait for Gu Chengyu and Yao Mengxian in the mansion.

Gu Chengyu knew that the teacher was anxious to see his granddaughter, so he also planned to leave.We haven't seen each other for so many years, and we always have to leave room for people to reminisce about the old days. He will inevitably get in the way here.

"Students, let's go back early! In order not to worry about parents waiting at home. After a while, the students will go back after paying homage to the teacher's wife."

"Alright! I won't keep you here today. You come to Fucheng in a few days, and we'll talk again. You and the old man go to the inner courtyard first."

Gu Chengyu saw that Liang Zhirui was already restless, so he didn't delay and responded quickly.

Let's say that Yao Mengxian followed a girl into the inner courtyard and passed through the hanging flower gate.Then he walked through the chasing corridor, and was led into the main room by the woman and maid who were waiting at the side.

As soon as she entered the room, Yao Mengxian kowtowed three times to the old lady who was sitting at the head.

"Xian'er met her grandmother!"

Ning Shi was sitting on the rose chair, waiting anxiously.Ever since Gu Chengyu and the others entered the mansion, someone came to report it.

She waited and waited, and finally got someone to come.When the curtain was opened, the light outside was a bit dazzling, before Ning could recover, a figure entered the room.While kneeling and worshiping, he called his grandmother.

Only when the curtain was lowered did she see clearly, there was a thin girl about ten years old kneeling on her head.

"But sister Xian?" Ning couldn't believe it, her hands trembling while supporting the chair, she slowly stood up from the chair.

"It's Xian'er, grandmother!" Yao Mengxian took a few steps on her knees and looked up at Ning Shi.

Ning came down hurriedly and took Yao Mengxian's hand, "Good boy! Get up quickly! Why do you do such a big gift?"

When Ning looked at the little girl in front of her, she couldn't stop crying, she really looked like her big girl!It was carved out of a mold.
