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

Chapter 783
"Your Majesty, the second prince is the concubine of the middle palace! Since ancient times, he has established a heir but not an elder, and the empress is respectful and virtuous. It is fair to be in charge of the harem all these years. There is hard work without credit! Please think again, Your Majesty."

Shen Shikang, Minister of the Household Department, couldn't bear it anymore, and came out to defend his nephew!
What he said was well-founded, and the empress and the emperor were couples who were rarely seen. When the emperor was still the prince, his own sister even advanced and retreated with the emperor.

Could it be that the emperor can really disregard the past affection and chill the heart of his own sister?
As soon as Shen Shikang said this, the second prince knew it was not good, and sighed secretly.

Uncle is using past affection to blackmail father!The emperor's affection for the empress is true, but when it comes to who is the emperor's favorite now, it must be Concubine Xian.

Didn't the third brother have the confidence to compete with them because his mother was favored by the emperor?
Otherwise, with the temperament of the third brother, dare to covet the crown prince?
Now the father only has respect for the mother, but now his uncle is threatening him with his past affection, he can imagine how ugly his father will be in the future.

Sure enough, the emperor looked at Shen Shikang with dark eyes, and his breathing was a little faster than before.

"Shen Aiqing means that if I don't choose the second child as the crown prince, I am sorry for the queen?"

As soon as these words came out, the ministers in the hall all had different expressions.

There are those who gloat, some with expressionless faces, and some with anxious faces, but how can Shen Shikang have the time to look at other people's faces at this moment?
He also complained about his sister just now, and he didn't regret it in his heart when he said something like that afterwards, but he also held it back for a long time.

Their Shen family has meritorious deeds. When the emperor was still the prince, without the support of his father and family in-laws, whether the emperor would be able to ascend the throne is still a matter of debate.

Before his father passed away, his father said that the Shen family is like cooking oil in a raging fire, and it has aroused the fear of the emperor, so let them hide their strengths and bide their time, and don't force them to stand out.

They have been very low-key these years, and now he is the only one in the court who holds a high position, and the other clansmen are either low-level officials or have not yet taken office.

The people of the tribe were suppressed by the patriarch and did not dare to raise their heads, but who knows that the emperor is still not satisfied. Could it be that their Shen family has not done enough?
There was a sense of sadness in Shen Shikang's heart, he didn't dare to think about how the Shen family would deal with themselves if the emperor appointed other princes as princes.

If there hadn't been the patriarch's pressure these years, many of the children in the clan would have become officials long ago.

The second prince didn't dare to be rampant these years, look at how he was suppressed as the eldest son?
It's ridiculous that the second prince, who is the son of the middle palace, probably doesn't even know what the word "crazy" means, and the third prince lives more freely than him.

If the crown prince loses this time, will those clansmen still be able to suppress it?How did he explain to the clan?
At this moment, Shen Shikang made up his mind, if the second prince was not destined to be the crown prince, then he, Shen Shi, could not sit idly by.

Those of the tribe who should become officials should go out of office, and those who should climb up should climb up. Father's last words will not last a lifetime.

The emperor has already suppressed their Shen family like this, which is simply too deceiving.

The second prince couldn't bear it any longer, and now there is no way to retreat.

When the new emperor ascends the throne, will the second prince be spared?They, Shen Shi, will not end well either.

From the moment the second prince was born, their Shen family has been bound together with the second prince.

In the future, it will be prosperous and rich, or it will not end well, it depends on whether the second prince can ascend to the throne.

"I don't dare! The emperor just said that you can speak freely, this is what I think. It's just that the crown prince still needs to be decided by the emperor, and I just made a suggestion."

With plans in mind, Shen Shikang no longer trembled as usual, walking on thin ice.

Now that the matter has come to this point, even if the emperor is unhappy, will he still kill him?
The second prince's forehead could not help but sweat many beads, the ice basin in the corner of the hall was useless to him, his underwear was already soaked in sweat.

He knew that his father was already angry, and he would have to intercede for his uncle later.

well!Uncle was really impulsive.

Now that the matter of setting up the crown prince had been raised just now, other officials expressed their views freely afterwards.At this time, even if the father is dissatisfied, he will not have too much prejudice against him.

It's just that the uncle talks about the mother's queen, how can the father be happy in his heart?

This is equivalent to pointing at the father and scolding the unscrupulous people. If they are demolished across the river, how can the father not care about them?This time I really picked up the sesame seeds and lost the watermelon.

Putting these aside for the time being, if the father thinks that the mother has complained in front of himself and his uncle, he is afraid that he will also blame the mother.

"Huh!" The emperor snorted softly, causing all the officials in the hall to be terrified and silent.

However, this time the emperor is suppressing his anger, the empress still has to give her face.Otherwise, it would also lose the face of the royal family, after all, it is the middle palace of the mother and the world.

How could the emperor not know what Shen Shikang was thinking?He also knew that the Shen clan had been suppressed too much in the past few years, which made the Shen clan already dissatisfied.

When he came to the throne, Shen also calculated a lot of strength.It's not that he is not grateful, otherwise he wouldn't have respected the queen so much these years.

But after the death of the abbot, the current Shen family has a lot of schemes. To say that being low-key means doing a good job on the surface!

If the Shen family had no conspiracy, how could they marry the eldest daughter of the second wife of the Shen family to the second child?Don't you want a double queen?

The second child has a soft temper, and he was afraid that after the second child became the prince, he would be captured by the Shen family.

After a hundred years, whether Jiang Shan's surname is Zhao or not is another matter.

He didn't agree with the second child marrying Shen's daughter at the beginning, but at that time Shen's was much more rampant than now, so he was forced to agree.

Shen Shikang probably forgot how his old man persecuted him in the first place, and Shen Shikang complained, so why isn't he feeling uneasy?

So he has been unable to make up his mind. The second child is hindered by Shen, so he naturally has to think clearly.

As for the boss, it was because of his too surly temper.Take the money back then as an example, what he did was unacceptable.

He was afraid that the boss would act recklessly if he became the prince or even the emperor, treating human life like nothing, and would surely provoke public anger.

So he has been training the boss's temperament all these years, but unfortunately the effect is not great.

If he can change his surly temper and be more kind, he is the best candidate for the crown prince.

As for the third child, the emperor only has the impression of being timid and ruthless in his heart, so it is difficult to take on the big responsibility!

well!The emperor sighed deeply.

He glanced at the several princes standing in front, and when he saw that the fourth prince looked like he had nothing to do with him, a trace of doubt flashed in the emperor's eyes.

The fourth child really didn't form a party for personal gain?Just now the three princes had officials to help them wave the flag and shout, but the fourth son was silent.
