Chapter 150 The Emperor's Rebellion

What Shao Ziyu and Lin Qingran can expect, many people have expected, the assistant minister is glamorous and envious of others, but after the emperor has been in power for a few years, various problems will follow. , but only the beginning.

Half a month after this beauty was imprisoned in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, she couldn't see anything on the surface, but in secret, the emperor had already competed with Prince Bei and the others twice.

It was hot at the end of July and the beginning of August. No matter how well-equipped the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice was, it would not be comfortable for a pregnant person.

Originally, this case should have been sentenced a long time ago, and the matter was settled with a glass of poisoned wine. The emperor's order was to go directly to the Ministry of Punishment, so that he could have a good life, and he even sent someone to take care of it.

Does the emperor really value this child, but it is just a bargaining chip, will he be kept in the prison if he really values ​​it, at least if he is brought out and locked up in the palace, the child will be healthy and healthy.This is just a game between the emperor, three assistant ministers, and several important ministers.

Lord Bei and the others compromised, and the emperor won. He is the emperor, and the king's prestige is here. If you are an assistant minister, you still have to listen to him. What he says is what he should do. They are here to teach him how to do it. .

This stalemate lasted for a month. One day in mid-August, Zhang Zhonghou entered the palace in the afternoon and left the palace only after dark. The next day he fell ill and did not go to court.

People in the know said that Zhang Zhonghou's face was ashen when he left the palace, and Zhang Zhonghou is not the only one who enters the palace these days, for the sake of murderers and beauties imprisoned by the Ministry of Punishment, Zhang Zhonghou is old , This, must have angered the emperor.

I have heard that there will naturally be rumors. One mouth can say one word, and a hundred mouths can have hundreds of words. The emperor wants to keep a child in the belly of a beauty. It's not up to you.

Some people also say that this tradition cannot be abolished, especially the royal family. The blatant behavior of the royal family has come like this. After that, the officials and even the families of the common people will also be messed up. The role of example must always be done well.

Of course, some people who like to comment on these political affairs said that if it were them, this must be a compromise first, and the emperor will be more comfortable. It is not certain whether the child will survive in the end, and it will make him unable to live. Why bother? This kind of juncture is not on the line, the emperor is young and energetic, it is the best policy to take a step back and make plans.

But this is a step back, and it will be a step back ten thousand steps in the future.

Zhang Zhong was ill, and the Prince of the North, who made a bad face, was useless, so he could only be persuaded by Lin Wenxi, who had been ignorant of giving advice to the emperor for the past few years and was only in charge of teaching.

It's not easy to be an assistant minister, and it's even more difficult to be the emperor's master. Lin Wenxi has been cautious all these years.

But if the current situation continues like this, is it really going to be a stalemate until the child is born in the sky prison, and it will be impossible to make a joke?
This afternoon, Lin Wenxi and the emperor finished talking about the Shanghai-Northern matter, and before Lin Wenxi could think about it, the emperor spoke first, "Lord Lin, in your opinion, should the child in this beauty's womb be kept or not?"

"Your Majesty, this child can't be kept." Lin Wenxi stated his position very bluntly, Xiao Jingyi's face changed, and he laughed, "Even the teacher thinks so, my child can't be kept."

"Your Majesty, if this child is conceived during a national funeral, then it cannot be kept. For the same reason, the Emperor has not yet married, and the rules in the palace are like this. If a beauty avoids this and intentionally conceives a dragon descendant, this child cannot be kept."

"I thought the teacher would say something else, but I didn't expect it to be the same. Why, I can't even make such a decision."

Lin Wenxi heard what the emperor meant, and asked back, "Your majesty, if the heirs of the royal family are living abroad, is it okay?"

"Naturally not, let him recognize his ancestors and return to his clan."

"If the beauty gives birth to this child, will she also recognize her ancestors and return to her clan, and announce that the emperor has a son?"

Xiao Jingyi paused, with a strong tone in his tone, "When you are born, you must recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors."

"Your Majesty, the ancestral family law does not recognize a prince born like this." Lin Wenxi reminded him lightly, "The emperor has not yet married, and these beauties who are sealed by maids and servants cannot conceive dragon descendants now."

"Teacher, don't you always teach me to have the heart to change the law, to bring forth the new from the old, the old rules become obsolete after a new generation, and the old things have to be changed, the rules are dead, people are alive, I am Your Majesty, don’t you even have the right to be the master? That’s my child.” Xiao Jingyi stood up, and within five years, under the guidance of Lin Wenxi and his lord Bei, the Emperor was excellent, smart, and They have gradually started to rebel against the advice of Lin Wenxi and the others.

"Your Majesty, law is the foundation of a country, and every decision you make is bound to have a far-reaching impact. Old rules need to be changed, but the laws of the ancestors and family should not be generalized." You can't let your temper, so many people in Luodu city watch, The emperor can tolerate it like this today, but tomorrow there will be a family, and a concubine and a concubine will be born before they get married, wouldn't it be a mess.

"Why can't we generalize? If there is something wrong with the ancestral family law, it is natural to change it." What they said was the ancestral family law, and they must be followed. Is what he said wrong? He is the emperor, how could it be their turn? Let him decide.

Lin Wenxi sighed in his heart, saying this is meaningless.

He wanted to talk about the rules, but the emperor refuted the rules. What's wrong with having children before the wedding? They don't have the qualifications to compete with the children born by the queen. Since they are not enough to be a threat, there is nothing to worry about. Since there is nothing to worry about Worried, why do you still want to kill children, Yumi people are guilty, and the crime is not as good as their children.

Before Lin Wenxi decided to speak, he was already prepared in his heart. Neither Prince Bei nor Zhang Zhonghou could persuade him, and adding him still had no effect.

He couldn't use crooked thinking to tell the emperor that if he wanted to keep this child, he could give birth secretly, and he had to set an example on the surface. He was ordered to teach the emperor to become a wise king.

Lin Wenxi didn't continue to persuasion, it was useless to talk more, on the contrary it would annoy the emperor, now there are many people in the court who want to pry this corner, Lin Wenxi has to weigh everything.

After leaving the palace, Lin Wenxi went back to the Lin family directly, and did not go anywhere else.

On the third day, I went to Zhang Zhongfu to visit Zhang Zhonghou who was still ill. They also knew that the emperor was influenced by some people. The draft will start next year. The emperor will get married, and the highlight will be the empress. , and then there will be a concubine. Now that the emperor is young, nothing has been decided yet. At the beginning, there was no right match with the first emperor, so now is another good opportunity to bet at the beginning.

After Lin Wenxi came back from Zhang Zhong's mansion, a few days passed, went to court, gave lectures, Lin Wenxi did not mention this matter again, it seemed that they had compromised under the emperor's decision.

Near the end of August, the Ministry of Criminal Justice suddenly summoned several imperial physicians in a hurry, and there was chaos in the quiet prison for more than an hour. The palace received news that Youmei's pregnancy was unstable and she had a miscarriage.

This is like two people playing chess, each of them wants to move the chess piece to his side, seeing that one side is going to win, suddenly the chess piece disappears, disappears, and the meaning of this game disappears immediately.The emperor was furious when he heard about this, and even sent the imperial physician to the Ministry of Punishment to see what was going on and the miscarriage.

The answers given to him by the imperial physicians who have seen him are that the beauty is still within three months, and there are also cases of pregnancy instability. up.What Xiao Jingyi actually wanted was not this answer. What he wanted was whether there were other reasons for Yumeiren's death, such as poisoning, drinking abortion pills, being frightened, or someone deliberately wanting Yumiren to die. child.

But the replies from the famous imperial physicians after seeing the doctor were all natural miscarriages, not caused by drugs, and the people who looked after them in the prison were appointed by the emperor himself to ensure that they would not be frightened. The child is gone after taking a nap, the emperor doesn't believe it.
