Chapter 88: Angry rebuke

Several people were silent and no one dared to speak.

Emperor Qi Yuan entered the room and looked around. He saw a low cabinet on the ground in the center. Next to the low cabinet was a charcoal basin, and there was not much silver charcoal left. On the ground on both sides of the low cabinet, there were many unused charcoal strips on the east and west. It must be the army in the hands of the two of them just now... Looking a little further, there was a table table to the east, with two pairs of pens, inkstones and inkstones on it, and there were paper with ink marks next to it...

"What a bold thing!" Emperor Qi Yuan finished looking at him, turned around and looked at the few people angrily, and his eyes kept wandering on Mingde and Lin Nan. "It seems that he has been very willing to do so in the past few days! You don't go anywhere else in such a big palace, but you just ran to this yard to make a fuss." Emperor Qi Yuan raised his voice: "Can you come to this yard...?

After a pause, Emperor Qi Yuan continued, "It's fine to walk in the yard, but you are fine! You even entered the house. You guys don't know the rules in the palace, especially Mingde, you! Haven't you seen the lock on the door of this house? Well? You dare to go through the window and come in. Who gave you such courage?"

Mingde knelt on the ground and listened. The room had not lived in it for a long time. Even though there was a charcoal basin for a long time, the room was still very cold. At this time, he knelt on the ground for a while. Even though he was dressed thickly, his knees gradually became cold, and at the same time he was a little numb. Seeing that his father stopped speaking, Mingde hurriedly kowtowed on the ground to apologize: "Father, my son knows that he is wrong, so I beg my father to punish him!"

"You still know you're wrong?" Emperor Qi Yuan scolded: "I remember you should be still confined now, right? Let's see how you did it? You dare to take the Queen Mother's imperial edict as a warning! It's getting more and more unruly, and it's getting worse and worse, and it's becoming disrespectful!"

"Father, I don't dare! I really don't dare! Today, the emperor and grandmother agreed to let me come out and have a walk in the palace..."

"Oh? So you started to come here to make trouble?" Emperor Qi Yuan did not relax at all. He turned to Lin Nan and said, "And you, I heard that the Empress Dowager has waived your companionship. Why dare to enter the palace privately? Seeing Mingde making trouble not only does not dissuade him, but also fan the flames!"

"Your Majesty, I did not enter the palace privately. I came here only after being summoned by the Sixteenth Prince today. And before entering the palace, I had checked my waist card and registered..." Lin Nan lowered his head. Although his voice was not high, he could speak clearly.

"You're pretty good to say?" Emperor Qi Yuan turned his head slightly and frowned and looked at Lin Nan: "You mean I'm wronged you? I'm not old enough to be accused of you, and I'm sharp-tongued, and I'm just showing off my verbal skills!" Emperor Qi Yuan lowered his head and groaned, walked around the room with his hands behind his back. In a blink of an eye, the corner of his eyes swept on the paper full of ink on the table. Emperor Qi Yuan subconsciously copied it up and down and glanced up and down.

After reading a few lines of words, Emperor Qiyuan suddenly turned his head and looked at Mingde, snorted in his nose, then waved his hand at Qian Hai. Qian Hai understood it, quickly turned around and closed the door, then curled his lips at the people outside, and everyone retreated outside the yard and waited...

"Is this what you wrote?" Emperor Qiyuan stretched out his arm and sent the article in front of Mingde. Mingde lowered his head and said "Hmm". "Hmph, this hand is written well, the article is...it's a little childish!" Emperor Qiyuan looked at it for a while, his face slightly eased, and he turned around to look at Mingde: "Most of the words and sentences are used quite well, but they have achieved some results in studying in the Nanshu Room... Although the meaning in this question is a bit naive, it cannot be said that it is completely unreasonable." After a pause, Emperor Qiyuan sighed: "Get up!"

"I thanked my father!" Mingde stood up and stood up, but he was still a little surprised. He scolded him like thunder for a long time, but now he suddenly started teaching the article. What is the father's goal?

Mingde was thinking in his heart, and suddenly heard his father ask: "It's a good thing to read and do articles without any trouble, but you don't stay in such a comfortable place in the Nan Study Room, but you just came to this room to make these mysterious things. Is there any reason here?"

"This... is no reason, it's just... it's..." Mingde of course didn't want to say that he actually saw the scholar who won the exam outside and wanted to get the exam, and he wanted to pass the exam or something. He was about to say something to cover it up, but as soon as he hesitated, he saw his father staring at him coldly, as if he could pass through his head, and everything he thought was instantly seen through! Mingde did not dare to lie under the accumulated power, and subconsciously told the truth out of his mouth...

As Mingde expected, as soon as he finished speaking, his father snorted coldly: "Hmph! Nonsense! The prince of the current dynasty actually went to learn what kind of students he took. I asked you to study and learn about the principles, understand the great righteousness, understand the worldly feelings, and follow the morals. I don't expect you to take the exam for the Jinshi! What are you a prince who is here to do? Be a magistrate? Be a minister? Or join the cabinet? Nonsense..." As his father scolded him, Mingde stood in the local area and listened motionlessly.

After a while, Emperor Qiyuan said again, "You have also drafted this question by yourself?" Mingde responded. Emperor Qiyuan stopped talking, turned around and picked up another article on the desk, and read it while walking. Unlike the article that had just evaluated Mingde, Emperor Qiyuan seemed to have read it a little more seriously this time, nodding from time to time, but after a while, his expression gradually became serious, and finally he suddenly threw the article onto the low cabinet!

Emperor Qiyuan turned around and looked at Lin Nan with an unconcealed anger on his face: "The scholar who rebelled against the chaos is nonsense! Humph, after reading books for a few days, you think you have seen clearly the major events in the world from ancient times to the present? What do you say, "If the upper and lower parts are one, the world will be peaceful; if one is not harmonious, the world will move"! Don't think that I can't see what you are talking about! At a young age, before you read all the books, you will learn from those who are not as good as the class to discuss the past and present!"

"'In the Zhou Dynasty, the emperor was in decline and the princes were great, and there were chaos in various countries. After the world was in turmoil, they returned to Qin; at the end of the Han Dynasty, the princes were in great chaos, and several chaos were divided into three parts; at the Sui Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and finally the Yang and Sui Dynasty ended and the Li Tang Dynasty began; but although the Tang Dynasty had Zhenguan and Kaiyuan's prosperous times, the Anshi Rebellion was born...'What do you want to say about this passage? Well? If this article is spread, just this passage can take your head with this passage!" Emperor Qiyuan's voice was cold and angry, and Lin Nan's heart was also up and down.

At the beginning, Lin Nan just wrote with the mentality of playing privately with His Highness Sixteen. Later, he was inspired by His Highness and was young and energetic, so he did such an article. He originally thought that after the matter, he stopped it and no one would get into trouble. But the man’s plan was not as good as God’s plan. Who knew that the matter was so coincidental. Several people stayed in a house that had not been visited for many years, but were discovered. The person who discovered it was the first person in the Forbidden City - the Emperor! And the Emperor even saw what he wrote!

Lin Nan wrote a lot of his own ideas in this article. Although it may not be correct, at least he felt it made sense. Now he didn't expect that this "reasonable" article caused trouble and might even lose his head! Lin Nan also regretted it when he heard this. He didn't want to write it like this, but why did he look like this as he wrote it...

Emperor Qiyuan looked at Lin Nan and said, "I ask you, do you want to say that if you wrote this passage... The current situation in the world is similar to what you wrote?"

This question is serious enough and heartbreaking! Even Lin Nan has always been brave and knows that he cannot answer at this moment! Lin Nan knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I dare not!"

"Don't you?" Emperor Qi Yuan bent down and looked at the back of Lin Nan's head intently, and sneered: "I read this article, there is nothing I dare to say! Humph! No matter whether you dare or not, I will tell you that I am in charge of the world now, and I am the biggest in the world! What kind of princes are great, but I am not even more powerful! Besides, there are never many princes in our great Jian Dynasty! Although I have not done any major things in my life, I am definitely not comparable to those foolish monarchs in the end of the world!"

"I don't dare!"

"Hmph! Pretending to make amazing words, your heart is punishable!"

Emperor Qi Yuan angrily threw both articles on the low cabinet, pulled a chair and sat down. The weather was cold, and he was a little tired after standing for a long time, so he sat down and stretched out his hands to roast the fire. At this time, there was not much charcoal left in the charcoal basin. Emperor Qi Yuan reached out and picked up a few charcoal strips from the ground and threw them into the charcoal basin. After a while, his body became much hotter and his breath seemed to have disappeared. Emperor Qi Yuan turned around and looked at Lin Nan and said lightly: "Get up too!"

"Although some of your articles are a bit rude, some of them are quite reasonable, and they are not completely useless." Emperor Qi Yuan said slowly: "But if you two refer to the articles together, I am afraid that Mingde will have a greater chance of winning, because some of the words you wrote... I am afraid that some of the brave officials will dare to hire them!"

The changes in the room scared Liu Chong and Li Feng who were kneeling beside each other. The two knelt behind and did not dare to look up. The cold ground made the two tremble unconsciously, but they did not dare to move at all...
