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

Chapter 487
Xia Qing snorted coldly in his heart, didn't he just want to be promoted?

"Tong Shidu don't worry, as long as this matter is done, it is not impossible to join the cabinet."

When Tong Zhouyi heard this, he immediately beamed with joy. The cabinet is a place where all Hanlin officials want to join.Even if the rank of the promotion is not high, the power is no worse than that of the six departments.

"The next official will definitely live up to the high expectations of the chief assistant." At this time, Tong Zhouyi had already left behind his previous caution, how could he remember that he was still terrified by this matter before?
Tong Zhouyi got Xia Qing's promise, and then discussed with Xia Qing about the face saint, and left contentedly.Xia Qing looked at Tong Zhouyi's back and sneered. If he wanted to enter the cabinet, it would depend on whether he was worth it this time.

"Your Majesty, the imperial physician has instructed you not to overwork yourself!" Seeing the emperor rubbing the center of his brows, De'an seemed to be very tired, so he hurried forward and put his hands on the forehead of the emperor, and began to knead gently.

"I have been unwell for the past two days, and there are so many memorials piled up on the table, even if I rest, I can't sleep or eat well!"

The emperor closed his eyes, enjoying De'an's smooth handling, leaning his back on the back of the chair, and relaxed a little.Yesterday, I wanted to hold on to go to court, but when I got halfway, I couldn't take it anymore, so I had to go back.

In fact, De'an knew in his heart that the emperor was still mad at the eldest prince.In the past, the emperor often wanted to make alchemy, and sometimes he would throw the memorial to the cabinet. Only major events would be presented to the emperor for his review.

Since the eldest prince participated in the imperial examination fraud case a few days ago and the emperor fainted from anger, he has become much more concerned about court affairs than before.The last time De'an was outside the imperial study room, he heard something vaguely about the money. He thought of the previous fraud case, the batch of money found in Wan Xuenian's other courtyard, but the emperor kept silent about it.

Since it was the eldest prince who wanted to frame him, where did the nearly 20 taels of silver come from?Taking 20 taels to plant a frame is considered a big deal.Even the emperor saves a lot in daily life besides alchemy.

Xiao Quanzi peeped outside the imperial study room, and De'an immediately gave him a glare.However, he also knew that there must be something.

Xiao Quanzi was also in a dilemma, the eldest prince came to serve the sick every day.But ever since the emperor woke up, the eldest prince was kicked out, no matter whether it was in the imperial study room or in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the eldest prince was not allowed to take a step.Now, the eldest prince is kneeling outside the imperial study room, looking a little uncomfortable, he thinks he can't hold on anymore.

He was guarding outside the Imperial Study Room, if the Eldest Prince couldn't hold on, he wouldn't be able to blame him.But if the Eldest Prince fainted, the Emperor would inevitably not take his anger out on him, anyone could see the Emperor's preference for the Eldest Prince.

Xiao Quanzi also had no choice but to report to Manager Chen.He looked at the Eldest Prince kneeling upright in front of him, and couldn't help admiring the Eldest Prince's determination. He had been kneeling for three hours.

Since that day when the eldest prince was ordered by the emperor not to even go to the court, the eldest prince would come and kneel outside the imperial study, knowing that the gate of the palace would be locked in the dark, before returning to his mansion.The emperor didn't say a word, just ignored him, and didn't listen to anyone's plea.

The second prince entered the palace gate and went to the imperial study.Before reaching the door of the imperial study, he found the eldest prince kneeling there.He paused, clenched his fists tightly, settled for a long while, then let go of his hands, and walked quickly towards the First Prince.

"Brother!" The second prince stood beside the eldest prince.

The eldest prince opened his mouth, and a hoarse voice came from his throat, "Second brother is here?"

Since he got up in the morning, he hasn't taken a drop of water, and his throat is very dry.But he didn't dare to leave. His father still hasn't forgiven him. He has to let his father see his sincerity.

The eldest prince sneered in his heart. In fact, was the emperor's anger really because of those merchants?Could it be that the father has no idea what business he can get so much money?
The father wants to take advantage of all the benefits, but also wants not to bear the infamy, this is what the folks say, he wants to be a female cousin, but also wants to set up a memorial archway.

After showing such a heartbroken look, he still has to take the blame for himself in the future.However, fortunately, he still had a back hand and kept some of the money.Everyone in the world said that he was favored by his father, but he was a little confused. He always felt that his father was hot and cold towards him, and sometimes he felt that it was his own illusion.

"Brother! The emperor's anger has not dissipated? The elder brother has been kneeling for two days, how can he bear it? This younger brother is going to plead with the emperor." The second prince looked worried and his face was serious.

The eldest prince slandered in his heart. With his appearance, the happiest is the second and third child. The third child is still in the mansion and cannot come out. At present, only the second child is sharing the worries of the father. He did not expect to get the eldest son this time. The cheap one turned out to be the second child.

"Second brother, don't worry. If you do something wrong for your brother, your father should punish you." Since it is known to everyone, there is no need for him to hide it. Who can bear the emperor's favoritism?
That's right, for the sake of money, the emperor will definitely find a way to protect him, as long as he finds an excuse, he can be punished lightly.Those money can be blamed by someone else, as long as Wan Xuenian and Song Shujing are still blamed for the money, even if they didn't participate in the imperial examination fraud, they still can't tell where the money came from.

Guo Shi didn't know much about it, he only knew the method of framing him, and he didn't explain clearly the origin of the money.The staff member didn't know much about Yinzi, and the most troublesome one was Liu Dong.As long as the father doesn't want to tear off this fig leaf, Liu Dong won't be interrogated.Didn't you see that the father was venting his anger on him these two days, but didn't say a word to Liu Dong?
Therefore, the eldest prince is not worried about this matter, at most he will be locked up in the mansion for a period of time, and he will be able to atone for his crimes in a short time.

"Then I will excuse you first." The second prince frowned on his honest face, as if he was still worried about the eldest prince, and then walked towards Xiao Quanzi.

All the ministers said that the second prince was pure and good-natured, but the eldest prince didn't believe it.As a prince, who is innocent?Wait for him to take care of the third child, and then come to clean up the second child.

"Your Highness the Second Prince, my servant!" Xiao Quanzi had already seen the Second Prince and saluted him when he came over.

"You don't need to be too polite, is your father free?" The second prince listened attentively to the movements in the imperial study room, but there was no sound.

"His Highness Lao Er wait a moment, this servant will report to you!" Xiao Quanzi took two steps back and entered the imperial study.

"Your servant sees the emperor, His Royal Highness the Second Prince begs to see you!" Xiao Quanzi faced De'an's sharp eyes, turned his heart and reported to the emperor.

He also knew that the emperor was very tired, but before that, the emperor did not say that he could not be disturbed.De'an was serving in the imperial study, and Xiao Quanzi was already guarding the door, so it wasn't considered superfluous.

De'an narrowed his eyes, Xiao Quanzi had lost his mind.

The emperor opened his eyes, and said in a cold voice: "The second child is here? Let him in!"

"Yes!" Xiao Quanzi backed out cautiously, he had already received the eye knife from Manager Chen, it seemed that he had to be careful recently.
