Chapter 1242: Honor, Disgrace, Life and Death

When the Thirteenth Prince and the Sixteenth Prince responded, when they came to the imperial front, Yongzheng's face was still ugly.

The sixteenth prince glanced at the seventeenth prince who was standing beside him carefully, and wondered whether something extraordinary happened.

In early spring, it is neither the time for droughts nor floods. Is it rare to be a test?

Thinking of this, his expression couldn't help but condense.

The imperial examinations are related to national affairs. Every time there are disadvantages, a bloody storm will be caused.

When they asked An, Yongzheng did not speak to the Thirteenth Prince first, but looked at the Sixteenth Prince: "Hongwang is twenty years old this year. Has the Prince's Mansion handed over the request for an appeal?"

The sixteenth prince did not expect the emperor to ask about the sect’s house. He was confused, but he did not show his face. He bowed and said, “I handed it once in the first year. Because Hongwang was not old, it was left alone. I handed it again last month.”

Hongwang is the only descendant of the Prince Lian’s Mansion, and it is natural to inherit the title.

He was born in the first month of the 47th year of the Kangxi reign and is now twenty years old.

Although it is common for the royal prince to be granted a title at the age of twenty, he can inherit the title without limiting his age. For example, Prince Lian died early and his descendants should receive the title early, after all, there is no reason why the title is long and empty.

When the old prince of the Ping Palace died, Nersu was only twelve years old. He did not wait until he was twenty years old and directly inherited the title of prince.

Prince Lian died for many years, and the only prince in the royal palace was unable to accept his title. In his early years, he was still under the age of his age, which was already "indisputable". Now he is twenty years old, and there is no reason to postpone it, so he has to start discussing it.

The sixteenth prince had received a note from Prince Lian’s concubine. After discussing with several clans, he felt that it would be more appropriate to hand it over to the imperial court before the Dragon Boat Festival and hand it over to the imperial court with several other clan members.

It was because he was afraid that he would hand it to the emperor and reminded the emperor of the rift from the Prince Lian’s mansion in his early years.

Now that the emperor took the initiative to mention this matter, the Sixteenth Prince felt that it was not good. As expected, he heard Yongzheng say, "Since Hongwang is here, the clan mansion will write a memorial..." Speaking of this, he paused and said, "From the example of Prince Gong."

Hearing this, the princes changed their faces.

The royal family inherited the titles, except for the hereditary titles, the other titles were all surrendered.

When the prince died, his heirs attacked the Bele Lord as usual.

But due to the grace of the emperor, there are exceptions.

For example, the three brothers of the Holy Ancestor, Prince Yuxian, died, and the prince still inherited the title of prince. After two times of seizure, Guanglu did not surrender. He had to wait until Guanglu's son to surrender before he began to surrender.

After Prince Chunjing Longxi died, the prince's prince was still a young child, and he still succeeded in the title of prince in his original class, and he was discontinued because of his premature death.

Prince Gong Changning was disgusted by the Saint Ancestor because he intervened in the battle between the eldest prince and the second prince for the throne. Not only did he not have a posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumously, but he was also directly demoted to two levels because the princes of the royal palace had no legitimate son and their biological mother was low. The prince was born to a concubine, and the prince was given the title of Beile.

From the title of Prince Gong, he was demoted to two levels and the title of Viscount of Hongwang could only get the title of Viscount Bei.

Hongwang's delay in attacking the title has long been criticized by the royal family. The reduction of the title by two levels is more like a match for the emperor's reputation as "meaning and ruthless".

These princes in front of the imperial court are all "imperial parties", so of course they do not want the emperor's reputation to be damaged.

The Thirteenth Prince had already left the list and bowed and said, "Prince, please think twice."

No matter how many disputes the emperor had with the Eighth Prince in his early years, now people die like a lamp.

Once such a decree was released, no one would say that the Prince Lian's mansion had a disobedient heart in his early years, and he was self-inflicted; on the contrary, they would say that the emperor was not in a good mind and treated his nephew harshly.

Three years ago, Hongwang pointed to the marriage and pointed to the niece of the Shangshu Mansion. Although he was also a Manchu family, he had an orphan who had no father and brother. For the prince's mansion, his status was too low.

Because of that incident, there were already rumors in the past; now, with the demotion of two levels of succession, the emperor's reputation in the royal family is even more unpleasant.

The sixteenth prince and the seventeenth prince also followed the threeteenth prince and said, "The emperor thinks twice."

Yongzheng sneered twice and said, "The Holy Master is not afraid, what am I afraid of? 'Treat your brothers and sisters'? Can you still offer them to heaven? The maids and concubines who attack Viscount Bei is already a great kindness."

Although the Thirteenth Prince and others all understood that this was inappropriate, they all knew Yongzheng's temper. Speaking of this, it was not possible to change it by persuading him.

In addition, he is confused now and I don’t know why the emperor remembered that he was in the Prince Lian’s Mansion, so the Thirteenth Prince and the Sixteenth Prince stopped.

The Seventeenth Prince, who was familiar with the matter, followed behind the two brothers, and had no room for words.

After the three brothers retreated from the imperial front, the Thirteenth Prince and the Sixteenth Prince asked about the seventeenth Prince who came to the imperial front first for inquiries about the reason.

Because there was a sticking rod in the middle, the Seventeenth Prince couldn't say in detail, so he could only vaguely say: "For the details, my brother didn't know much. It was just that when my brother first arrived in front of the imperial court, the emperor was furious. Hearing that meaning, it was like Prince Lian's concubine slandering the holy bow, which made the emperor angry."

After hearing what he said, the Thirteenth Prince and the Sixteenth Prince were silent.

Prince Lian’s temper is that they have seen brother-in-law.

The Thirteenth Prince sighed and said to the Sixteenth Prince: "If you can delay the memorial, please delay it for two days. Let's see if the emperor can relieve the fire."

The Sixteenth Prince nodded and agreed. The Thirteenth Prince was busy, but the Seventeenth Prince was invited to the Office of the Internal Affairs Office by the Sixteenth Prince.

"The eighth sister-in-law has never had any good words, why is the emperor going to fight this time? Seventeenth brother, don't fool me, just tell me the truth, so that my brother will not be careful not to make a taboo the next day." The sixteenth prince asked someone to have tea and then asked.

"What else can I do? It's just the old sayings of the emperor's unkind and unfilial piety. I don't know which sentence hits the emperor's heart, which makes the emperor so annoyed." The seventeenth prince said casually.

When the sixteenth prince heard this, he couldn't help but frown.

He is in charge of the sect's mansion and is the link between the royal family and the royal family. Of course, he hopes that everyone will live a peaceful life.

The emperor was so polite to Prince Lian’s mansion. With Prince Lian’s temper, how could he swallow his anger? He still didn’t know what to do.

This will only make things worse and worse.

"It seems that the emperor can't persuade him. The eighth sister-in-law has to send someone to persuade him." said the sixteenth prince.

The seventeenth prince nodded and said, "That's right, let's not talk about the other side. The prince's mansion was originally renovated from the Beile Mansion. The eighth sister-in-law has lived in it for more than 20 years, but now she is going to move. I don't know where to go. It would be strange if she can honestly accept it."

The residences of the princes and the Dukes are all state-owned and are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

If you have promoted your title, you can expand it and continue to live; if you have reduced your title, you will have to change your residence.

Thinking of the Eighth Concubine's fierce temper, the Sixteenth Prince felt his brain hurt.

The seventeenth prince remembered another thing, and showed a serious look on his face, saying, "Brother Sixteenth brother, there is one thing that I want to ask my brother to have an idea."

"What? Just say it." said the Sixteenth Prince.

The Seventeenth Prince hesitated for a moment and said, "After Qingming Festival, should you ask the Secret Mother and my mother to return to the palace to stay for a few days?"

When the sixteenth prince heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Why is this?"

The palace is just a big cage, living in the side hall of Cining Palace, and living with a bunch of widows, where can I live comfortably with my children and grandchildren outside the palace?

Although the Sixteenth Prince is not good at paying homage to his biological mother every day, he went to Beile Mansion after searching for Youzi for ten or half a month. The mother and son say a few words, which is much better than not seeing each other in the past year.

"After the Emperor of Heaven and the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, there were also concubines who left the palace to support him. However, during the holidays, they also handed over to the palace to talk to the empress dowager. Even if it was not common, many people would send people to pay their respects. Although there is no empress dowager in the palace, there are two noble concubines who are above the imperial concubines. However, I have never heard of any concubines outside the palace coming to the palace to talk to him, and no one sent someone to pay his respects to the emperor." said the Seventeenth Prince.

When the sixteenth prince heard this, he shook his head and said, "The concubine Rong has long been unable to get up from bed, but just staying up. Concubine Yi has died and regards the emperor as an enemy, so how could he get into the palace? Since Concubine Hui left the palace, she has been worshiping Buddha in the Buddhist temple of Prince Lian County, and never saw foreign guests. In five years, she has not taken a step out of the palace. The three concubines did not move, and who can go directly over to the other concubines? Can the order be entered into the palace?"

"You have to give the emperor a step, otherwise you will keep going. When the emperor attacks, everyone will be shameless." said the Seventeenth Prince.

Although the Sixteenth Prince was unwilling to do so, he knew that what the Seventeenth Prince said made sense. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go to Beile Mansion today..."

The brothers here were talking, but two guards had already rushed over to pass the message.

The Taifu Jin died, and the person who reported the death of the royal palace had already arrived outside the palace gate...

*

It was dusk on the Cao family, and when they received a letter from the royal palace, the fourth sister and Guanglu had not left yet.

Because Cao Yong was in a good mood, he drank a few more drinks, but when he heard the news, he immediately woke up and drunk.

With his relationship with the Sixteenth Prince, he doesn’t have to wait until the “three years”, he should go to the funeral on the same day.

Guanglu couldn't sit still, and the Sixteenth Prince was in charge of the sect's mansion and had taken good care of him for several months.

He and his fourth sister hurriedly said goodbye, went back to change their clothes and prepare for a tribute.

Cao Yong immediately returned to Xifu, changed into simple clothes, and went to Prince Zhuang's mansion with Chuyu.

Outside Prince Zhuang's mansion, it was already white, and a spiritual shed was also set up in the yard. Guests had already arrived one after another, and Prince Hongpu brought several children from Prince Zhuang's branch to entertain guests and carry the gifts back.

The sixteenth prince, the real master, disappeared.

Cao Yong was worried about the Sixteenth Prince, so he hurriedly caught the Seventeenth Prince who came to the palace first to ask.

"Since the time of the burial, Brother Sixteenth has been in a bad mood. He is just behind him, and I don't know what he is thinking." Prince Seventeenth pointed to a corner of the back of the spirit shed and replied.

Cao Yong walked over and looked at it. The sixteenth prince was wearing a mourning clothes and sat in a dark place behind the spirit shed, with a bit of depression.

Cao Yongyuan wanted to go over and comfort him, but after taking two steps, he stopped.
