Wang Qingtong thanked him. She had heard Shen Huaiting mention His Highness the Crown Prince more than once. Now it seemed that what he said was indeed right.
His Royal Highness will be a wise king.
Everyone stopped disturbing them and all retreated. Xiao Jialan breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It can be seen that there have been changes. In the previous life, Shen Huaiting injured his hand and missed the scientific examination. Now he has suffered internal injuries, which will not affect this year. The imperial examination."
There are still two months until spring, enough time for Shen Huaiting to take good care of his health.
"Um."
Yuan Chen nodded and said: "I originally cared about the relationship between master and disciple and wanted to be kind, but now it seems that it doesn't work. As the saying goes, if you cut the grass by its roots, the spring breeze will blow it again. I will not tolerate it in the future, nor will I do this. Will happen again!"
In his previous life, he probably didn't learn to be ruthless and just wanted to be a benevolent king, which is why he ended up like that.
Sometimes, you can't be merciful when you should be ruthless.
Yuan Chen was determined this time, so when he thoroughly investigated the Jingma case, he showed no mercy. After getting the evidence, he personally led his men to capture Taifu Zhao who was about to leave the capital!
Taifu Zhao looked at Yuan Chen and the surrounding posture, and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not disappoint me."
Yuan Chen said: "But teacher, you have disappointed Gu. Gu still remembers all the teachings you gave Gu. At that time, Gu respected you very much and wanted to be a student that made you proud. But why do you become more confused as you get older?"
Taifu Zhao sighed and said: "Power fascinates the eyes, hatred fascinates the heart. If those in high positions cannot keep their original intentions, they will eventually end up on a dead end."
Your Royal Highness, this is the last question that the old minister asked you. How can you be a wise king and let the courtiers stick to their original aspirations and put the people first?
If His Highness the Crown Prince has the answer, remember to tell him in front of the old minister!"
As he spoke, he took out a dagger from his arms and cut his own throat decisively.
"teacher!"
Yuan Chen quickly walked over and helped Zhao Taifu up, pressed his wound and said, "Why are you doing this?"
Taifu Zhao said: "I trained a good prince, but not a good grandson. I put all my thoughts on you, but neglected to discipline Jie'er. It's all my fault. "
In fact, he had complained about it. He had worked hard throughout his life and dedicated himself to Beichen, but in the end he did not end well.
He wanted to save some dignity for himself in the end and go on the road with dignity in this way.
Taifu Zhao held Yuan Chen's arm and said, "Be careful with King Ping. Cut off the grass and root out the roots. Don't leave any hidden dangers!"
After saying these words, he tilted his head, leaned against Yuan Chen and closed his eyes.
The death of Taifu Zhao seemed to be a trivial matter, but rumors began to spread in the capital that His Highness the Crown Prince was ruthless and forced his teacher to death.
And his move caused panic among the courtiers, fearing that he would become the second Taifu Zhao.
For a time, there was an undercurrent in the court.
When Ye Jinming heard the rumors, he slammed the table angrily and said, "Someone must have used the death of Taifu Zhao to throw dirty water on you and take the opportunity to win over the courtiers to deal with you."
Yuan Chen naturally knew that someone was tampering behind the scenes, so he said: "That's good, it just so happens that the court should be properly purged."
He wanted to see how many courtiers could not keep their original intentions!
Ye Jinming said: "The Han family and the Yan family have been in close contact recently. I wonder what method the Han family used to get Yan Qin to board this pirate ship?"
Yuan Chen snorted and said: "Prime Minister Han has been an official in the court for more than ten years, how can he not have some leverage? I am afraid that Yan Qin will not move, otherwise it will be difficult to attack him."
Ye Jinming nodded and asked, "What are your plans for the next step?"
Yuan Chen said: "Just wait and see what happens."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. Ye Jinming opened the door and saw his sister standing outside.
