Who came up with the idea of competing with others in demolishing houses?
"Who among you came up with this idea?"
The upper study was demolished. The emperor will definitely know about this, and I don’t know how he will blame me.
The two spoke at the same time, "It's not what we thought, it was Hongming from Third Uncle's family who said this."
Originally, the two of them didn't want to get involved, but they actually said that they were timid and that they were cowards if they didn't dare to go, which made them unbearable.
Anyone can't stand being called a coward.
Although they were young, they knew a lot. How could they accept being scolded like that? So, wasn't it just demolishing the house?
In the end, they competed to remove most of the roof of the study. If someone had not told Master Meng about this at that time, they might have removed the entire roof.
Master Meng was the teacher who taught them. As soon as Master Meng came, he scolded them immediately. After they came down, they were scolded by Master Meng for a long time. Each of them was punished to write big characters 200 times, and Master Meng said that he would report this matter to the emperor.
They knew about this matter, and Huang Mafa and Ama would definitely know about it, so they hurried over now while Mother didn't know about it yet, and tried to please Mother first, so that when Ama came back, he would be lenient with them for Mother's sake.
"Then why did you get involved? You knew it was bad behavior, but you didn't stop it, and you got involved. Now that this has happened, what do you think we should do?"
Wen Mianmian didn't expect that they could do such a thing. Most of the things that happened before were trivial matters, but now they are demolishing houses.
Moreover, the room that was demolished was the upper study. The emperor will definitely know about this, and he will definitely not let them off easily.
The two of them realized the seriousness of the matter belatedly and quickly knelt down to admit their mistakes.
"I'm sorry, mother. We know we were wrong. We will never do this again."
At that time, they were also blinded by his words and the desire to win. In fact, they had already regretted it when Master Meng came over, but the dismantling had already been completed and it could not be put back in the same condition, so it was too late for them to regret.
"It's no use admitting your mistake to me about this matter. You demolished the Upper Study, which is in the palace."
"Let's wait for your father to come back and discipline you properly. I don't know what the situation is with the emperor, but it will definitely not be a good outcome."
Wen Mianmian was a little annoyed at the moment. She shouldn't have let them off so easily when they got into trouble. She should have taught them a lesson. Maybe today's situation wouldn't have happened.
Inside the Palace of Heavenly Purity at this moment
The Fourth Master and the Third Master both knelt on the ground at the same time. They had been kneeling for quite a while, but the Emperor still showed no intention of calling them up. They did not dare to say a word and could only kneel obediently.
They were still wondering if they had done something wrong to make the emperor unhappy, and had no idea that it was their little brat who had caused trouble in the palace.
Emperor Kangxi finished reviewing the pile of memorials on the table, then slowly put down his pen and looked up at the two people kneeling on the ground.
"Do you know why I asked you to come here today?"
The two looked at each other suspiciously, then shook their heads at the same time.
The Third Master said, "Please let the Emperor know clearly."
Emperor Kangxi snorted coldly.
He glanced at Liang Jiugong and said, "Liang Jiugong, you go tell them."
"Yes~"
Then Liang Jiugong told them what happened in the study yesterday.
The two men's faces darkened instantly when they heard this.
"Well, now you know what your sons have done." Emperor Kangxi slammed the table angrily. "They're quite capable. They even ripped the roof off. It seems they didn't tell you about this when they returned."
"I beg Your Majesty to forgive me. When I return, I will definitely teach him a lesson." The Third Master wished he could go back right away, pick up that bastard and give him a good beating.
The little bastard is really becoming capable. It’s not enough for him to just do whatever he wants in the mansion, now he’s also in the palace, wreaking havoc on the upper study.
Let’s see how he teaches him a lesson when he gets back.
"And I will definitely teach him well when I return, and I will never let this happen again."
The Fourth Master didn't expect that the two of them would be so bold. He hadn't heard them talk about it yesterday, so if the Emperor hadn't mentioned it, they really wouldn't have known about it.
But this time when I go back I must not let them off easily. They are still young and have caused such a big mess. What will happen when they grow up?
"I don't care how you educate me, but you two in the Shangshufang must restore me to my original state, otherwise I will not forgive you."
"Go away."
The Third Master and the Fourth Master were driven out in disgrace by Emperor Kangxi.
Liang Jiugong was a little puzzled and looked at the emperor in confusion and said, "Your Majesty, let's just let this matter go." This was not in line with the emperor's usual practice.
Emperor Kangxi picked up the brush and began to write large characters, saying as he wrote, "Why, do you think I should punish them severely?"
Liang Jiugong quickly waved his hands. Even if he had ten times the courage, he would not dare to make suggestions to the emperor.
"No, I just think that if we let this matter go lightly, others might think that the emperor is being unfair if they knew about it."
After all, in the past, no matter whether it was a prince or a grandson, the emperor’s punishment would always be unforgettable.
Now, neither the Third Master and the Fourth Master were punished, nor were those imperial grandchildren who had done bad things punished. They were just asked to repair the upper study. Compared with before, this was really too light.
He was sure that after this incident, the other princes would hear about it and would definitely think that the emperor was biased towards them.
The current situation in the court is already complicated and changeable, and all the princes are eager to take the position of crown prince. Now that the emperor has done this, those people will definitely think that the emperor's favorite candidate for crown prince will be among them.
Then the situation in the court is likely to become turbulent again.
Emperor Kangxi naturally knew Liang Jiugong's concerns, and he had his own little thoughts in doing this.
He is old, and the position of crown prince will be decided sooner or later. Now that he has this opportunity, he can observe secretly and maybe find a suitable candidate for crown prince.
Concubine De once said something that he still remembers today: "With great power comes great responsibility. If you are tired, why not relax and unwind? Why must you cling to something?"
"Perhaps putting everything aside and walking around can change one's mood and allow one to experience a different kind of joy in life. Isn't that a blessing?"
