There had been a lot of noise in the court these days about the appointment of a crown prince. As soon as the eldest prince started court, he was reported by an official.
Someone accused the eldest prince's faction of seizing other people's land in the name of the eldest prince, committing crimes and accepting bribes.
Although the emperor didn't believe it, he still sent people to investigate. He also asked people to investigate the eldest prince, and found that the stories were true.
When the emperor heard this, he became furious. He had always believed that he was qualified to be an emperor.
I didn't expect that my eldest prince, as a prince, not only did not want to serve the country but also took bribes.
In a rage, the emperor issued an order to dismiss the eldest prince from his position and strip him of his title.
Unexpectedly, after being stripped of his title, the eldest prince did not reflect on his mistakes. Instead, he harbored resentment and secretly practiced witchcraft on the other princes. This further angered the emperor. You know, witchcraft was a serious crime at the time, punishable by the death of nine generations of the family.
In the end, the emperor had no choice but to imprison the eldest prince.
The Emperor actually guessed that the eldest prince was framed and wronged. However, he was also angry at the eldest prince for not fighting back. He also wanted to protect him.
Finally, it was found out that it was indeed the Eighth Prince who did it. The emperor imprisoned the eldest prince and then brought the third prince up.
In the 38th year of his reign, the Third Prince was demoted to a Beile by the Emperor because Concubine Min shaved her hair before she was 100 days old. He has been obsessed with literature and calligraphy.
I don't know if the Third Prince was taught by Rong Fei, but he never competed with others. Also, because the Third Prince had always had a good relationship with Yinreng, after Yinreng's advice, he only focused on compiling his own books with a group of civil officials.
Faced with the trap set by the emperor, he was not tempted at all.
Seeing that he was not fooled, the emperor had no choice but to bring out the thirteenth and fourteenth princes again, and often openly expressed his love for the two princes.
He tried to create a conflict between the two younger princes and the fourth and eighth princes.
For a time, the thirteenth and fourteenth princes were in great glory.
A group of research teachers from the college came to Baoer's office and told Baoer that the cement recipe she gave her last year had finally been developed.
Baoer was delighted. "Really?"
"Yes, Dean, after nearly a year, several other teachers and I finally figured out the formula for cement."
The teacher took out a square block of cement about the size of a book from a box and said, "Please look, Dean, this is the cement sample we made. We have a large piece of cement in our institute. It is really as hard as you said."
The teacher looked at Bao'er with enthusiasm. He hadn't expected the prescription the dean had given him to be so effective. The dean had said that once he and his team had figured it out, he would give them credit.
You should know that I am the one who has made the greatest contribution besides the dean. When the time comes, the emperor will have to give me an official position.
You have to know that I was just a scholar with some extra money in my family. Because I liked to invent and research some small things, I was often laughed at by others.
If he hadn't met the dean, he would have been just a scholar laughed at by everyone.
I think I should live up to the dean's trust and kindness this time.
"Okay, okay, don't worry, I will definitely help you get the credit this time, just wait and see."
"Yes, Dean," the teacher said happily. He never doubted the truthfulness of Baoer's words.
After Baoer finished talking to his teacher, he quickly prepared to go to the palace to tell the emperor that as a marquis, Baoer had the opportunity to meet the emperor directly.
This is because Baoer has made contributions to the country in recent years, and the emperor has specially allowed her to enter the palace at any time.
As soon as the emperor came home from court, he heard Li Dequan say that Baoer was waiting for him in the Qianqing Palace.
The Emperor knew that Baoer usually went to the palace to see Concubine Yi and the Empress Dowager for personal matters. As for official matters, she would not go to him.
As soon as I heard the tone of Li Dequan's voice, I knew that something good might happen.
Isn't this a good mood to say
"Hahaha, it looks like Bao'er has brought out some good stuff again. Second, ninth, and tenth brothers, come along too."
"Yes, Your Majesty," the princes looked at each other and agreed.
When the Fourteenth Prince heard that Baoer had entered the palace, he was delighted and said, "Father, Baoer has entered the palace. Can I go too?"
"Okay, let's go," the emperor said indifferently.
When the Eighth Prince heard that his father had agreed to the Fourteenth Prince's marriage, he also wanted to see what good things Bao'er had done since she was enthroned. Sometimes he really envied his Ninth and Tenth Brothers, who were married and had nothing to worry about. Unlike him, who had to work so hard to make his mother's life easier and to fulfill his own wishes.
He has figured it out over the years. The reason why his ninth and tenth brothers distanced themselves from him back then must have been related to Marquis Rong'an. It must have been something that woman did.
So he looked at the emperor with a smile and said, "Father, since you have called my second brother and several younger brothers, please look at us brothers. I also want to see what achievements my ninth brother's wife has made." As he said that, he also looked at the fourth prince, the twelfth prince, and the thirteenth prince.
The Thirteenth Prince heard this and said, "Yes, the Emperor cannot be partial."
The Thirteenth Prince was enjoying great glory. He went from being an unknown prince to one of the Emperor's most beloved sons.
He was worthy of being the chivalrous king of the Kangxi Dynasty, as he spoke so eloquently. Even the Fourth Master was a little surprised.
After all, Thirteen used to follow him in everything and rarely voiced his own opinions. Now, he was actually speaking over him.
"Hahaha, you guys, come whenever you want," the emperor smiled at the princes. He glanced meaningfully at Old Eight, which startled him.
So Baoer waited for the emperor and the princes headed by the crown prince in the Qianqing Palace.
