When they arrived at the court hall, the emperor had not yet arrived, and the courtiers were already in place. All the officials congratulated Liu Hao on his first day of marriage, and Liu Hao nodded in acceptance.
"Sixth brother, you are married to such a beautiful woman. I am so envious of you, Brother Wang. Brother Wang, I wish you a son soon." As soon as the words of the Third Prince Liu Yan came out, everyone was embarrassed and stepped aside in silence.
Everyone understands the reason why the Empress tried so hard to get the Sixth Prince to marry, but now she has achieved such a result. Not only is the Sixth Prince embarrassed in front of everyone, but most importantly, it is very detrimental to his succession to the throne.
"Liu Yan, don't think that we don't know that this is all your trick!" Liu Hao was young and impatient. When he heard Liu Yan's words that were deliberately intended to prevent Liu Yan from coming to power, he immediately broke up with him.
"Eighth brother, you are becoming more and more rude. If you speak to third brother in this tone, my mother will be unhappy. I don't have a mother, don't you?" Liu Hao said it calmly, but
Liu Yan's expression changed drastically after hearing this:
"Liu Hao, you..."
"The Emperor has arrived..."
Just as Liu Yan was about to speak, the emperor came to court and promptly calmed down the simmering quarrel between the brothers.
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
It is said that Liu Yan's biological mother, Concubine Rong, was loved by thousands of people and was the most favored concubine in the entire harem. The most important thing is that the emperor was really weak for her and only took a spoonful of water for her. After doting on Concubine Rong,
In those years, the emperor never set foot in the palace of other concubines. If not for Concubine Rong's humble birth and the opposition of the ministers and the empress dowager, the emperor would have made Concubine Rong his queen.
Except for the position of queen, she had everything the women in the harem wanted. But one day, the emperor actually saw another man appearing on the bed in Concubine Rong's palace. It can be seen that the emperor who loved Concubine Rong deeply was furious.
But he still couldn't bear to kill the woman he loved so much, so he had to send her to the cold palace. Not long after, Concubine Rong ended her life in the cold palace with a three-foot white silk ribbon.
"Kui'er, how's the provincial examination going?"
"Back to my father, all the examiners in the examination rooms have been selected. We only need to wait for my father's decree to be held on the fifth day of this month."
"Okay. Our government really needs to recruit some young talents. Now is the time of peace and prosperity, so we should recruit more talented people."
"I understand, I have a memorial to submit." Liu Hao took out a memorial from his sleeve and presented it to His Majesty the Emperor. "This is a memorial from Shandong Yushi Ni Chenghuan, but this memorial was encountered during the submission process.
Robbery, and Ni Chenghuan was killed at home the day before yesterday."
"What? This is unreasonable! Someone actually killed a large number of scholars in Shandong who came to Beijing to take the exam! This kind of phenomenon in these peaceful and prosperous times is really my responsibility!"
"Father, in order to stabilize the people's hearts, especially the hearts of the candidates, I suggested that my father send a trusted person to Shandong to thoroughly investigate the matter. I think that the third brother is the perfect person."
Liu Hao continued what the emperor said.
"Zhunzhuo, Yan'er, you will be responsible for the murder of Ni Chenghuan and the murder of the examinee. I believe you can give a satisfactory explanation to the people of the world and me."
"Father, my son, lately..."
"Third brother, my father's wish and the well-being of the people in the world all depend on your actions." Liu Hao said without waiting for Liu Yan to finish.
In fact, Liu Hao had already ordered Zhao Jing to find out that the incident was caused by the Third Prince Liu Yan, but now Liu Hao asked Liu Hao to suggest that he conduct a thorough investigation, which would prevent the indiscriminate killing of candidates from happening again, and Liu Yan.
If Chou Yinmao cannot be found out, the emperor will question his ability to do things. If he is found out, it will inevitably affect him. Even if he can find someone to blame him in the end, his power will be weakened.
This was Liu Hao's most advantageous counterattack to Liu Yan's conspiracy against him, killing two birds with one stone.
"Your Majesty, the Sixth Princess just brought breakfast and was waiting for the Sixth Prince to come to court outside the palace, and now she has fainted."
Just as he was about to leave the court, the eunuch hurried into the hall and said.
When Liu Hao heard this, he flew out and ran out.
Liu Hao was surprised to see an anxious look on his sixth brother's face.
