52.
In Ci'an Hall, the emperor personally poured tea for the empress dowager and sighed in a low voice: "It's all my son who has no choice but to teach his children, so my mother and queen are working hard."
The Empress Dowager was dizzy when Chu Shaoyang was angry in Chengqian Palace. The emperor did not interrogate Chu Shaoyang at this moment and directly closed the door and rewarded twenty court sticks. Chu Shaoyang was begging for mercy at first, but he was very delicate and precious. After a few strokes of red copper-packed gold court sticks, he changed his tone. After twenty court sticks, Chu Shaoyang fainted from the pain. The emperor did not send them back to Zhaoyang Palace and carried them directly to the side hall of Chengqian Palace.
The empress dowager was both angry and sad. The emperor first helped the empress dowager back to Ci'an Palace and fed two cups of tea before the empress dowager's expression improved.
"The Ai family has suffered from this karma for so many years..." The empress dowager shed tears before she finished speaking. Even though the emperor and the empress dowager were indifferent to each other, her eyes turned red, and she quickly persuaded: "What do you have to do with the princes if they are not good at it? They are all sons who neglect discipline on weekdays and have educated such things! I am really..."
The emperor also felt angry, took two sips of tea and took breath, and then said, "My mother Gang didn't explain what happened. Could it be that this karma had been passed on to the outside world before? "
The empress dowager leaned on the couch exhausted and sighed, "Although the Ai family is old, they are not confused. If they knew that he would dare to interfere in major affairs in the government, how could he hide it from the emperor? Actually..." The empress dowager turned her mind and changed her words, "It was he who intervened in the personnel affairs of the Ling Nu room a few days ago."
The empress dowager gently rubbed her eyebrows and said slowly, "There is a favored person around Ling'er. The Ai family thought that Ling'er had not yet married yet and should not make a joke, so they knocked Ling'er a few words. The child was sensible and repeatedly promised the Ai family that they would never spoil that person too much. They also agreed to the Ai family to lift their hands after the wedding and would not pay much attention to that person. It was not a big deal. Moreover, the Ai family was not good at telling the emperor about such a thing in Ling'er's room. That day, the Ai family thought that Ling'er was young and thin, so they specially sent him away. There were only two Ai family and Ling'er in the warm room. It would be fine if they finished talking."
"Who knew that the next day Yang'er wrote a letter, copying the Ai family and Ling'er's words in the warm-up hall that day, and sent it to the person next to Ling'er. The letter... the handwriting of the letter is no different from today, and it is indeed Yang'er's place."
The Empress Dowager sighed: "Ai'er knew about it, and he was so arrogant. His methods were too sinister. He provoked a crime in his brother's room. Ai'er buried a crime in his hands, and he ignored the brother's love for his brother's love! Ai'er was going to take Yang'er to question him at that time. It was Ling'er... The emperor knew that Ling'er was kind and loved Yang'er since childhood. When he saw that Ai'er was angry, he took all the blame and said that he would scold Yang'er privately to teach him a lesson. Ai'er originally refused, but Ling'er and me knelt and begged again. Ai'er could not, so he didn't want to pursue the lord, and the Ai'er would not be able to pursue the matter. Ai'er might not be able to make trouble for the palace, so he followed him."
"Who knew that Yang'er didn't repent, and now he put his hand in the cabinet!" The empress dowager was angry when she remembered that she loved Chu Shaoyang so much on weekdays, and said angrily, "Ling'er's cabinet now doesn't dare to say a word. He, a fourth prince, robbed several brothers in front of him! Do you think everyone else is dead?!"
The emperor is now taboo about the establishment of a crown prince. The empress dowager said that it was exactly what he was angry about. Judging from the fact that they caught it, Chu Shaoyang actually had people in the harem of the previous dynasty and the heart was so big at such a young age!
The emperor did not doubt the Queen Mother's words at all. The Queen Mother kept keeping two princes behind Empress Ling in every way. He had always had ten or ten, but only said three points. Now the Queen Mother said this himself, which shows that he did not wrongly accuse Chu Shaoyang. The emperor was angry when he remembered those secret matters found today. He had been guarding against Chu Shaoling and ignored Chu Shaoyang. Like Chu Shaoling, Chu Shaoyang is also the legitimate son of Empress Ling. In addition to Chu Shaoling, he is the noble among the princes. If one day... Chu Shaoling stepped down, he might not say that Chu Shaoyang would replace Chu Shaoling and take over the two forces of the Marquis of Zijun and the Duke of Jingguo. At that time, there would be no one among the princes who could compete with him.
The emperor was suspicious and remembered that Chu Shaoyang and Chu Shaoling had an incompatibility with each other before. At that time, he only looked at Chu Shaoling's mistakes, but never thought about whether Chu Shaoyang was a big man and had already begun to seek power? Chu Shaoling had always tolerated Chu Shaoyang, and even he would have had conflicts with Chu Shaoyang. What did Chu Shaoyang do in private?
The emperor could not tolerate it, so the princes took over power at will. This time, Chu Shaoyang's actions violated his big taboo.
"Mother..." the emperor hesitated and said, "The fourth brother acted recklessly. I must come up with some rules, otherwise I will not be able to teach those older people in the future. Yang'er dares to do this as a young man. In the future, those older people are good at learning, will the government be in chaos?"
The Empress Dowager rarely stood on the side of the emperor this time, and her attitude was extremely tough. She nodded and said in a deep voice: "It's good that the emperor can think like this, but... at least... she was considering some royal face, and the New Year was coming soon. The old princes and princes are also going to Beijing. These days..."
The emperor understood the empress dowager's meaning, and he wanted to be ashamed as he wanted, and nodded, "Son, let's put him under house arrest in Zhaoyang Palace to recuperate. After the New Year, my son will suffer a loss."
The Queen Mother nodded tiredly: "The Emperor is thoughtful."
If Chu Shaoyang had not blocked the road in front of Chu Shaoling again and again, the Empress Dowager would not have made up his mind. No matter how bad Chu Shaoyang was, she would have been the legitimate son of Empress Ling. It was just that the disaster of a wall was right in front of him. Chu Shaoling was carrying the honor of several families, and was responsible for his hopes and cultivation over the years. He must not make any mistakes. The Empress Dowager had to guard against Yu Weiran. Before Chu Shaoyang really hurt Chu Shaoling, he suppressed people.
Chu Shaoling in Bitao Garden listened to Wang Muhan's wonderful experience of Chu Shaoyang's beating from him, and chuckled: "What a pity, I only hit twenty court sticks..."
Wang Muhan's heart trembled and said in a low voice: "If you have more than a hundred sticks in the court, you can die. Twenty, actually a lot..."
Chu Shaoling chuckled and shook his head, thought for a while and said, "Don't let Wei Ji know these things. This matter is somewhat implicated with him. I'm afraid he will take the wrong thing to himself."
Wang Muhan nodded quickly: "Now I am more careful than before. I took advantage of the rest of my life today. I will scold all the people in our palace. In the future, they will be careful when they speak. The miscellaneous words outside cannot be heard from Lord Wei. Just don't worry."
Chu Shaoling nodded and ordered Wang Muhan to go. He picked up the Wei Ji and read the military books on weekdays. The Wei Ji and read the books carefully. He recorded a lot of notes on it. Chu Shaoling only thought it was interesting to read the handwriting of the Wei Ji and wrote it. The Wei Ji and returned to the Wei Mansion today. It will not be until the hour of You.
Chu Shaoling was bored alone and was looking at the military book. The grandma Sun from the Ci'an Palace came over and said that Mr. Zi went to the palace to pay tribute to the empress dowager, and asked Chu Shaoling to come over and talk.
Chu Shaoling chuckled, and the old marquis was well-informed.
Chu Shaoling changed his clothes and went to Ci'an Hall. After seeing Marquis Zi Jun, he bowed before the old Marquis said: "I haven't seen my grandfather for many days. It's been cold these days. I wonder if my grandfather is in good health?"
Mr. Zi quickly supported Chu Shaoling, and the Empress Dowager smiled: "The Marquis is just here. Every family should give you a gift. There are no outsiders on both sides, regardless of the state gift, only the family etiquette."
Both Mr. Zi and Chu Shaoling sat down and said slowly: "The courtesy should not be abolished. Now the eldest prince is in the forefront of the storm. He should behave in a regular manner and not be held by others."
The Queen Mother nodded and smiled: "After the rules of the aristocratic family, Ling'er can hear it."
Chu Shaoling agreed: "Sun'er Province."
The Duke of Jingguo's Mansion and the Duke of Zijun's Mansion have been in-laws for generations. The Queen Mother and the Duke of Zijun are both cousins and in-laws. Speaking of which, the Queen Mother also calls the Duke of Zijun and said "brother-in-law". The Queen Mother sent out all the servants in the warm-house. There is nothing to say about the family. The Queen Mother put down the teacup and sighed: "Has the Marquis heard about Yang'er's affairs?"
Mr. Zi said silently and whispered for a while: "I just thought that the Fourth Prince was still young before, and the old minister didn't pay much attention. Now I look... Alas, why did you go the wrong way?"
Chu Shaoling sneered in his heart. He didn't just go astray now. He had deliberately harmed himself a year ago. However, the witchcraft incident made Concubine Li a scapegoat, and she was deprived of the position of Concubine who had earned most of her life and was deprived of the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager looked at the expression of Mr. Zi and asked softly: "Mr. Marquis is not here to blame me for being cruel? I told the emperor this time that I am in house arrest and will suffer a downfall after the New Year."
"What did the Empress Dowager say?" The old ministers of Zijunhou, seeing that the matter is deeper than the Empress Dowager, sighed in a low voice, "The Fourth Prince is the grandson of the old minister, the legitimate grandson of the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager loves the Fourth Prince only more than the Old Prince. Besides, the Empress Dowager doesn't even look at the Fourth Prince. For my sake, my daughter will take care of her. Unfortunately, the Fourth Prince is confused and the Old Prince is just heartbroken..."
The old empress dowager's eyes turned red and she choked in a low voice: "I hope that Yu'er will know you in the spring, don't blame the Ai family..."
Speaking of Emperor Ling's pavilion, the three people in the pavilion were inevitably uncomfortable. Chu Shaoling understood their worries. Even if Chu Shaoyang had something wrong, he would have to endure the situation in his early death. In his previous life, Chu Shaoling also came here, but in this life, Chu Shaoling would no longer be soft-hearted. Queen Ling knew about it and thought she could understand her own suffering.
Chu Shaoling handed his handkerchief to the empress dowager and whispered: "My mother will not blame the emperor's grandmother, but I blame my brother who doesn't know human nature... Before leaving, my mother told us to support each other. I think I have no place to be sorry for my fourth brother. Who knows that brothers are not as good as the emperor's power, and the fourth brother will actually attack me..."
The empress dowager wiped the corners of her eyes and said slowly: "Ling'er is also considered to be kind and righteous."
Of course, Mr. Zi was not here to listen to the old empress dowager. Seeing that the empress dowager looked a little better, she asked in a low voice: "I just don't know how the emperor wants to develop the Fourth Prince?"
The Empress Dowager shook her head: "The emperor didn't tell the Ai family."
Mr. Zi looked at Chu Shaoling. Chu Shaoling thought about it and shook his head: "The father's temper has become more and more serious in recent years..." The following words were said to kill him. Chu Shaoling had no choice but to say, "The power of heaven is unpredictable, and I can't guess it, but according to my wishes... The father will not let the fourth brother stay in the imperial city."
There are so many eyes in the world that the emperor is so proud that he can't make a joke about father and son. You can tell when you look at Chu Shaoling. The emperor has never liked Chu Shaoling, the eldest son, but he still looks like a kind father and a filial son. Now Chu Shaoyang is in charge of the emperor, he must not want to make a big fuss.
The emperor's taboo was that Chu Shaoyang intervened in the affairs of the court. Since he wanted him to stay away from the affairs of the court, he was a good way to dismiss the people from afar. Chu Shaoling whispered: "If I guess it's right, my father will find an excuse to reward the fief of his fourth brother in the next year."
Mr. Zi nodded, Chu Shaoling guessed almost the same as him, and said, "Where is the choice of fiefdom... It's a big deal. I think the emperor has not made any decisions yet. Since the fourth prince is already resentful to the prince, his prince will make plans for the fiefdom."
This is the real view of Mr. Zi entering the palace. Chu Shaoling chuckled and nodded: "My grandfather is thinking about it."
After talking about Chu Shaoyang, the Empress Dowager talked about family matters with Zi Junhou and caringly said: "The weather is getting worse and worse. How is the body of Yatou Yun? Did the girl send her tonic medicine to take?"
When he mentioned his granddaughter Lai Zi Junhou sighed. Ling Yun was fine in everything, but he was weak. Zi Junhou did not want the old empress dowager to worry about it, and he did not report good news. "It is good for the Empress Dowager to send tonics to the girl Yun. It looks better when he takes it, but it is as cold as today, otherwise her mother would bring her to the Empress Dowager to pay her respects."
The empress dowager sighed in her heart when she heard this. The weather was just a little cold and she couldn't go out. I think Ling Yun's body was worse than Xia Tianlai.
The Empress Dowager saw that Chu Shaoling didn't say anything. If Ling Yun had not been strong, this would be a good marriage. Although the Empress Dowager wanted Chu Shaoling to marry Duke Jingguo's Mansion, her parents' family was now in a bad way. Most of the girls were married, and the older one was only seven years old. When the Empress Dowager remembered Chu Shaoling's marriage, she was anxious. It was like a year. She couldn't say that she just hoped that Ling Yun's sister Ling Yi would grow up soon. The Empress Dowager was relieved and would definitely not be insulted by the Empress Dowager.
"If you feel uncomfortable, let her take care of it. If you have nothing to do, bring Yi Xiao to the Ai family to see it." The queen mother said until she said, "The Ai family is bored every day. Last time she saw Yi Xiao and the Ai family liked her very much, and she always thought about her."
Mr. Zi’s heart moved and nodded.
Chu Shaoling looked as usual when he heard this. Ling Yi was only eleven years old, so he was not worried at all.

I found this thing when I checked the information today. This was the product of the sudden excitement after conceiving the rough outline of this article. Science students are trying hard to write all kinds of hard work on classical Chinese, so I can make you smile, haha.
——————————————————————————————————
In the 26th year of Tianshou, all the ministers submitted a letter to request the appointment of the crown prince. The eldest prince, King Qin, killed King Rong, King Miu Guang, and King Pingjiang within ten years. He was very successful and had no obstacles in the court. The emperor believed it deeply and made him the crown prince.
In the 27th year of Tianshou, the King of Wu captured his legitimate brother, the prince, and the matter was completed. The emperor was furious and stripped the prince of his title and banned him in the original Qin King's mansion. As the emperor grew older, he changed his seven sons, King Wu as the crown prince. In the autumn of the same year, the prince visited him in the Qin King's mansion. The old subordinate of the King of Qin took the prince as his lord. The prince's personal guard was at a loss, so he asked him to take the prince out of the imperial city. The next five thousand troops suppressed him at the Broken Heart Cliff. The guard died to protect the King of Qin. The King of Qin was so angry that he killed the prince, and his corpse fell on the Broken Heart Cliff. The body turned into a place. The imperial guards searched but could not find it. He only heard the wind and cried under the cliff, and the souls of the wronged were wailed.
The King of Qin woke up, not dead, was clear-minded, and was in the inner palace. Suddenly, he asked, and the eunuchs were all frightened and said that this was the seventeenth year of Tianshou. The eldest prince accidentally drowned last night and was in a daze after waking up. Then, the seventh prince came to visit, and the King of Qin looked a little light. After he left, he asked the Guardian what was the advantage of protecting the master, and he was kneeling outside the hall. The King of Qin urgently summoned him. From time to time, the King of Qin saw that his appearance was the same as before, and he was mixed with sadness and joy, so he hugged him on the bed. The King of Qin was panicked. The King of Qin swears in tears: I was alone and I was not clear about people, but I was lucky to be reborn, and I will definitely not let you down in this life.
Wei Ji admired the King of Qin since he was a child, and she burst into tears when he heard this.
