Crush the Protagonist Into Slag

The emperor asked someone to bring up the memorial, opened it and looked at it slowly, and said, "Have all the Aiqing heard about this matter? Could Duke Xuan be wrong?"

The ministers heard Xiange and knew Yayi, and immediately understood that the emperor did not like Duke Xuan.

The civil official said: "Your Majesty, this minister thinks that it is the fault of Duke Xuan that the matter of the Duke Xuan's possession of the wrong heir has caused a lot of trouble in the city, and it will damage the image of the noble family, officials and even the court in the hearts of the people. It is Duke Xuan's fault. When dealing with matters in private, the people should not be more suspicious."

The military attache said: "Your Majesty, regardless of whether there is a misunderstanding in the matter of Duke Xuan's son returning the money, Duke Xuan has not handled the affairs of one government properly, and cannot even distinguish the blood of his descendants, so he should be severely punished.

On the other hand, the prince of Duke Xuan, the minister thought he was right, he was just a commoner in the future. If Duke Xuan deliberately oppressed, he would have no resistance. Of course, he had to use people's hearts to protect the whole family. "

Your Majesty, I have heard that the son of Duke Xuan Guo has excellent riding and archery skills, and he is loyal and filial. He is a good son to defend his family and protect the country on the battlefield. This son can be made! "

The civil official said: "Your Majesty, no matter what, Duke Xuan's position as the heir should not be left aside. Hearing that he asked in court to transfer his household registration to his biological parents' home, the minister thought that should be the case."

Later, they also accused Fuxi that it was unfilial to not return to the Duke Xuan's residence. Of course, some people retorted that the truth of holding the wrong child was unknown. Tao Li was very suspicious and the mother was not kind.

However, because the truth cannot be verified, there is no way to determine whether Tao Li is guilty or not. It can only be determined that the master of the Xuan Guogong’s mansion is not strict, and the servants are not good at doing things. This is still the fault of the master.

In the end, of course, he went back to Duke Xuan, anyway, any problems in his house were his fault. As for Tao Rui and Fuxi, all the officials felt that it was not important, and they didn't need to care too much. The focus was always on Duke Xuan.

The emperor listened to them saying what they had to say, closed the memorial and said: "As all the Aiqing said, Xuan Guogong and his family are in a mess. Self-cultivation, ordering the family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world. Can serve the court?

The Duke of Xuanguo was demoted to Marquis of Xuanjin, and his words and deeds were prudent in the future, and his title was downgraded to hereditary status. "

This punishment is harsh enough. Originally, the next generation was also the grandfather of the country, but now it has become an uncle. If he was still an idle uncle, he would not be considered a character in the capital. Xuanguo's mansion is still disliked by the emperor, unless that Tao Bin is really talented, otherwise the decline is certain.

It was only after the retreat of the court that the ministers remembered, why didn't the emperor mention the position of the heir? It seems that the wrong thing has just been exposed, Xuan Guogong asked to change Tao Bin as the heir, does the emperor have other ideas?

A simple matter has aroused many speculations among the ministers. In fact, the emperor just admired Tao Rui and gave him time to resolve the matter. You must know that what Tao Rui has done, if he does not have the position of the prince, he may not be able to do it.

When the emperor was taking a break from the work, he remembered and asked, "What did that Tao Ruike do?"

Gao Quan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Tao Shizi met with a lot of friends today. While drinking and having fun, he seemed to be inquiring about how to refer to the imperial examinations and martial arts examinations. He also...inquired about how to use money to buy the fame of scholars."

The emperor laughed, "Buy a name. It seems that a scholar and a name are very valuable, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it?"

"Yes." Gao Quan also laughed, all these matters in the imperial court, the emperor is very clear, "but now Tao Shizi is still the prince, maybe someone is willing to give him this face, he still has friends to help, the only son of Qi Yushi and Tao Shizi friends."

The emperor pondered Tao Rui's thoughts for a moment, and said after a while: "Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended. Take advantage of the last chance to manage everything well. If no one provokes him in the future, he may be plain and happy. If someone provokes him, he will still be happy. You can test for higher fame and become an official in the dynasty. I heard that he is talented and skillful, but I don’t know if he can really pass the test or is blindly confident.”

The emperor has always liked smart people, especially smart young people. Moreover, he has not met a young man like Tao Rui who is both civil and military at the age of seventeen, and he is not afraid of humiliation.

He really guessed it, Tao Rui thought so. Having traveled through so many worlds, being an emperor, ruling the end of the world, and even uniting the interstellar era, it is difficult for him to have any strong professionalism. After all, I can't find anything new to fight the emperor here, and it will be very busy.

There is no need for a task, and there is no freshness. He has no motivation to increase the official and nobility at all. Instead, he really wants to travel and take a good look at the world.

But if he wants to do anything, he can't ignore the environment. If he is just a commoner, it will be really troublesome for the Duke Xuan's government and the Qin family to ask for trouble. He wants to go to various towns and state capitals, but he may not be able to get a road guide. If he is unlucky, he will easily be cannon fodder if he is involved in right and wrong. Only with fame can you be guaranteed, and you can't kneel when you see an official.

It's just that he hasn't taken the exam before and has no experience. I just heard that Xiu Cai can be bought, and that if you buy it, you can directly test people, so I inquired about it. The original owner has so many playful friends, and many of them are not too serious to watch the fun, and they are still willing to play with him. These contacts can't do big things, and it's easy to buy a talent.

Especially Tao Rui now holds 100,000 taels. The auction can also be photographed by him!

Those dudes were very enthusiastic when they saw him. They didn't have much money on hand. If Tao Rui was more generous, he would treat them every time he invited them, and they would definitely be on call. The most important thing is that Tao Rui can still play and never disappoints. Now that he has a reputation for being both civil and military, they all feel good about playing with him.

Tao Rui made the decision to buy a scholar so smoothly, and just wanted to say that he should leave today, and a young man hurried in the door and said in surprise, "You don't know yet, right? Duke Xuan was demoted by the emperor! "

Everyone was silent, looking at Tao Rui at the same time, and then immediately asked: "What's the matter? Talk about it, talk about it!"

Then the man saw Tao Rui and said with a smile, "Yo, Tao Shizi is also there." He walked over to Tao Rui and sat down, and asked, "You did a big thing yesterday, that kindness and righteousness are true. ?"

Tao Rui nodded lightly with the wine glass in his hand, "The words have already been said, and they are naturally true. Brother Chen has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Just now, I happened to pass by the gate of Duke Xuan's mansion, and saw with my own eyes the scene of Xuan's imperial decree descending the title. Good guy, Duke Xuan has become Marquis of Xuan Jin, so it's still down to hereditary! The emperor himself said that Duke Xuan was not strict with his family. , said he was confused!"

Everyone was surprised for a while, "So, when the third son of Tao takes the throne, he will be an earl?"

"Of course it is." Someone took a grape and threw it in front of Tao Rui, and asked curiously, "Tell me, what did the third son of Tao do? How did he bring shame to his ancestors?"

"That's right, let's talk about it. I didn't think he was pleasing to the eye, and some people said that he was the most outstanding of our generation. Oh, I don't recognize it, young master, doesn't he know how to write two poems?"

Tao Rui leaned back on the chair and said with a smile, "Even though I have broken with them, I still can't do anything to expose people's strengths and weaknesses. I won't say what's going on in their house."

"Haha, do you believe what you said? I think that 80% of Mr. Tao didn't offend you. If you're in a hurry, you talk faster than anyone else, just like yesterday's top ten boxes of silver, hahaha, that's spectacular!"

"You are so cruel, I was drinking tea when I listened to Xin'er, when I spit out a mouthful of tea, I was almost scolded to death by my father!"

"Hey, I found that the word 'jin' of Xuan Jinhou and the word 'jin' have the same meaning. Back then, when Jinzhi and us were riding out of the city, they were caught and beaten by Marquis Xuanjin and took the word 'jinzhi'. This expression is to make him be cautious in his words and deeds, right? Do you think the emperor did it on purpose? This is too coincidental!"

Tao Rui raised his eyebrows, this could not be a coincidence, it could only be the emperor's intention. Now that the emperor demoted Duke Xuan but did not remove his son, that means that the emperor did not like Duke Xuan's mansion, but favored him instead.

After all, he was an emperor. After a little thought, he guessed that the emperor was in love with talent. Eighty percent of the time he was thinking about how to use him. By the way, he would see what he would do next. Maybe his every move now is under the emperor's surveillance, he just didn't expect that he would be noticed by the emperor not long after he crossed over.

Tao Rui was not worried. As far as he knew, the emperor was Ming Jun, and now he was fifty years old, and there was no sign of confusion. He was very rational. As long as he doesn't do anything to provoke the emperor, the emperor will naturally not trouble him.

The emperor over there guessed his thoughts, and here he also guessed the emperor's psychology. Everyone was laughing and talking about Xuan Jinhou at the bureau, Tao Rui drank two more cups and got up and said goodbye.

They guessed that Tao Rui would still feel uncomfortable when he left that house. No one stopped him, and they felt that he was actually affectionate and righteous. Even if you say grace and justice, it will still be uncomfortable to see your adoptive father demoted. Such a person is worth paying for!

They talked about the things they knew about Xuanjin Hou's mansion, how many times Tao Rui was caught playing with them, and several times they saw Tao Rui's injuries. The Hou residence treated Tao Rui's evidence harshly.

No matter what outsiders say, these dudes who play with Tao Rui think that Tao Li stole Tao Rui! Regardless of whether he has evidence or not, they are not stingy. With this guess, they even disdain Tao Bin even more, and even suspected that Tao Bin knew about Tao Li's son and secretly leaked it to Qin Ruo.

Don't think that they won't know if Tao Rui doesn't tell me, then Qin Ruo, who openly scolded Tao Rui for Tao Bin at the hunting ground, looked at Tao Rui like he was looking at some vicious scoundrel. Tao Rui was still her fiancé at that time. They all guessed that Qin Ruo must have something with Tao Bin, so everything made sense.

And Tao Rui was angry in court, didn't he also mention it? Said that he had become a fake son, who would fall on Qin Ruo's marriage.

On whom?

Of course it's on Tao Bin's head!

So they guessed it right! Tao Bin, that hypocrite, is secretly getting along with his sister-in-law! What a **** shame to the ancestors!

But they are all children of big families. No matter how much you guess in private, you will never say it in front of Tao Rui. Especially when you just asked, Tao Rui said that no matter how long the person is, they will not mention it. This kind of betrayal by his fiancée and younger brother is quite embarrassing.

A few people talked and talked about who Tao Rui would marry in the future. Qin Ruo used to be the direct daughter of a third-rank official. Now that Tao Rui has become a commoner, even if he buys a scholar, that scholar is nothing in their eyes.

Everyone guesses that Tao Rui will probably marry the daughter of a wealthy businessman, the daughter of the magistrate of Qipin, or the daughter of other scholars. Some people say otherwise, look at whether there is a suitable girl in their own family. The direct descendant will not work, and there are concubines. Tao Rui holds a family property of 100,000, and maybe he can win more in the future. It is not a loss to marry.

Tao Rui asked the shopkeeper to keep an account, and packed a few dishes to take back to eat with his family. Lienian scanned the giggling discussions of the dudes, and relayed them all to Tao Rui.

Tao Rui shook his head amusingly, [It's just like this when I have nothing to do, it's also quite interesting. Hopefully they're just saying, don't actually give me a blind date. 】

[Liu Nian: Hahaha, I think they are serious. Your deeds in the casino have become legendary. Many people say that you are unforgettable and incomparable. You must have found the trick to gambling, waiting for you next time. win. Several casinos are calling attention to you, saying that if you come to the door, you will be invited to the inner hall immediately.

By the way, there are a lot of people who used to laugh at you, but they want to see you down and don't see it, but suddenly they find that you are richer than them.

Also, a lot of people are guessing what you are going to do in the future. The most guessed one is that you are going to open a restaurant where you can eat, drink, and have fun, and make money from those rich kids! 】

Obviously, the process of collecting information in fleeting years was very joyful, and he said a lot, which perfectly relieved Tao Rui's boredom, and also provided Tao Rui with inspiration to open a restaurant for eating, drinking, and having fun? It's not impossible. The family always has to make a living, and opening a shop is a must. It just so happens that the landlord has a shop to sell. You can see how the location is and open a shop for the family.

After Liu Nian finished talking about the interesting information, he asked: [Brother Rui, do you want to go and watch the fun? Tao Qian's side must be very miserable today, we don't need to get close, we can scan it from a distance of 500 meters. 】

Tao Rui is not interested, [The dish is ready, go home and eat it while it's hot. I didn't eat a few bites just now. 】

What he told Tao Qian before that the well water does not violate the river water is true. What he hopes most is that the two sides are cut cleanly, and no one should disturb anyone, and his life here will be leisurely. If it wasn't for the fact that they always wanted him to take the blame, he wouldn't be in trouble. In ancient times, it was impossible to be unfilial, and it was a dream for them to step on his Bomei name.

It seems to be a pity for fleeting years, and it really wants to see the expressions of Tao Qian's family. Who knew that although Tao Rui was not interested, the Qingsong family were all interested. When Tao Rui went home and asked everyone to eat, they went out to ask around and ran back.

They each have familiar servants in Xuanjinhou Mansion, and the news is quite comprehensive. When it was said that the imperial decree at that time, several masters in the mansion were shocked and couldn't believe it.

Tao Qian slapped Tao Li on the spot!

Tao Bin went up to stop him, Tao Qian also pointed at him and scolded him, saying that he was worthy of being the son of Tao Li's family, and he was just doing things without thinking, and punished him to kneel in the ancestral hall.

Tao Bin refused to accept it. Tao Qian directly asked someone to use the rattan to use the house method, and accidentally hit Tao Bin on the arm. The arrow wound that had not healed before was serious again, and Tao Bin's thin skin and tender meat were the first The second time he was beaten, he was angry and wronged, and now he was lying on the bed with a high fever, so anxious that Tao Li and Tao Qian quarreled.

But he didn't want Tao Qian to be very hard-hearted or very angry this time, so he directly grounded Tao Li's family and handed over the control of the family to Concubine Zhou.

Tao Qian went to the ancestral hall and knelt by himself, crying in front of the ancestral tablet, blaming himself for losing the title that his father had fought so hard for on the battlefield, and it was useless for anyone to persuade him.

People in the mansion were panicking, and they had to cooperate with the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to clean up the things that were beyond the control of the mansion.

In short, Xuanjin Hou's mansion is a mess at the moment, and there is a real sign of decline.

The Tao family sighed for a while after hearing this, "So high up in the imperial palace, the emperor will be demoted with a single word? It's really unreliable."

Tao Rui said while eating: "Xing's sitting upright is naturally fine. They did what they shouldn't have done to get this way. If they don't stop their losses in time, it may be more serious in the future."

A few people nodded clearly, and they felt a little more relaxed. After all, there was a potential threat to them. Now that something happened there, it was a good thing for them.

Several people discussed that they should go back to Xishan Village. No matter what, they had to arrange the affairs of the family well. It might take a few days to come back. They all told Tao Rui not to go back. First, they were afraid that Tao Rui would not be used to the village. Second, the villagers would definitely be curious to ask this and that. They were afraid that too many people would make Tao Rui uncomfortable. Third, there was no extra room at home. inconvenient.

Tao Rui agreed after thinking about it. He also has something to do. No matter what he does in the future, he has to practice hard and raise his strength first. Fortunately, he has a spiritual spring space, and it is not difficult to cultivate.

After the Tao family returned to Xishan Village, Tao Rui closed the door to thank guests, and practiced for two days and two nights.

The outside world guessed that he blamed himself because Tao Qian was demoted, and his reputation for filial piety and friendship became even more famous, so angry that Tao Qian and Tao Li almost vomited blood. Tao Li finally managed to collect 100,000 taels and gave it to him at the last time limit. It really gave him angina when he thought about it. He was so sick that he fell ill. It was even harder to drink bitter soup every day than when he was seeking a child. Throat below.

He really couldn't eat or sleep, so he wanted to kill Tao Rui to vent his anger. But they really didn't dare to do anything at this time, and they angered the emperor's eyes. Of course, the more low-key the better.

When Tao Rui got the money, he bought the scholar and fame as soon as he got the money, and also bought a very good and very big shop.

Just when he and a few dudes went to see the storefront, a **** in the palace came with a few people.

"The emperor is ordered to set off for hunting in the paddock at noon the day after tomorrow. I want all the young masters to compete in the paddock and show their style. The emperor specially named you, Tao Shizi, and hope that the prince will be properly prepared."

The other dudes were all stunned, amazing, they just joked that Tao Rui would not be the heir to open a shop, but was named by the emperor? Hunting competition seems to be Tao Rui's strength, this is definitely a good opportunity to show his face in front of the emperor!

But what makes them wonder is, what does the emperor want to do?
