Chapter 122
Chapter 122
The emperor got a headache and was angry because of the situation in front of him. He looked at Yuechen and thought for a while and said: "Okay, you come and investigate, I want to see who is lying about this matter."
Originally, she could have directly apologized and reduced the big incident to a small one. At the critical moment, Concubine Mei would abandon her three companions to keep the fourth prince, but it might not go so smoothly under Yue Chen's interrogation.As soon as Yuechen talked about investigating the case, he immediately raised the whole matter to a higher level. The involvement of the Four Princes' Party was probably indispensable, and Concubine Mei panicked.
The mentality of the three princes next to them is different.
Yuan Ye looked on coldly. In his opinion, these people's bad luck was his good luck. He really did the right thing just now. The eldest prince frowned slightly. Now he felt a little sympathetic to this unlucky brother. Even if he wanted to show it, he couldn't be so aggressive. The people of the Fourth Prince's faction really failed to achieve success and failed. The Fourth Prince's ignorance should be taken advantage of by others.
And the third prince who prompted everything finally let out a sigh of relief at this moment. When Yuechen is interrogated, the glory that should belong to him is still his own, and he can also vent his anger for his mother. After all, Concubine Mei has not only become a concubine recently, but also snatched her The holy favor made Concubine Pei often feel uneasy, so this time it will be a lesson for them.
After receiving the imperial decree, Yuechen smiled and said: "It's actually very simple. Let the fourth prince draw it again on the spot and explain it to us personally. There is still a servant here. You can ask if the servant has any ideas. If the fourth prince supports you He hesitated and couldn’t answer, so it must not be the way he came up with.”
The emperor nodded, the simplest and most effective way was to look up at the fourth prince.
At this time, the fourth prince got up from the concubine mother, and looked at the crowd with some breathlessness.
Chu Lishu next to him stepped forward and patted the fourth prince's shoulder at the right time and said: "Your Highness, don't be nervous, I believe in you, as long as it is the same as usual, don't you often have fun with our waterwheel, is it very interesting? Just Treat it as a toy, don’t think too much about it.”
Lin Qingyang also said: "Your Highness, I also believe in you. As long as you prove it this time, no matter how many pictures your Highness draws in the future, no one will doubt it casually."
Xu Wenze looked at Lin Qingyang and Chu Lishu suspiciously. Whether these two people really believed in the fourth prince, or did they have other purposes, he always felt that the way of acting out of passion at this moment did not seem like their behavior.
Because of Chu Lishu and Lin Qingyang's encouragement, the fourth prince really calmed down. After getting along with him during this period of time, the fourth prince has actually trusted Chu Lishu very much, and played well with Lin Qingyang. Now they A hint to the Fourth Prince is more useful than Concubine Mei's comfort.
Concubine Mei looked at them in surprise, but at the same time she was suspicious. They were so sure, could it be that they were not cheating the Fourth Prince, or...Xu Wenze?Concubine Mei was a little uncertain.
The fourth prince was aggrieved and said: "But it was clearly drawn by me this time? Why don't you believe me?" He didn't understand, why did he have to redraw it to prove it?What's the point?Really wronged.
Lin Qingyang said with a smile in his eyes: "It's not that everyone doesn't believe it at all, but His Highness is too young. If... the picture drawn by the third prince's age, everyone will not be too surprised. Wait for His Highness It's fine when you grow up."
As soon as Lin Qingyang said this, it was like a thunder on the ground, which immediately hit the hearts of several people, and the third prince seemed to turn into a quail in an instant.
Suddenly the eldest prince said: "It's not fair. It's also a drawing to offer advice. Why is the fourth brother being suspected, but the third brother has to be praised? Father, for the sake of the harmony of the brothers, I think the third brother must also pass the test, otherwise it will be harmful to you." The fourth brother is not fair."
The third prince's face changed suddenly, and he immediately glared at the eldest prince and said: "Brother, what are you talking about, this whole thing seems to have nothing to do with me, I can't draw something so powerful."
"It has nothing to do with you? Didn't you just jump the best?" The eldest prince sneered, "What? I feel guilty when it comes to you?"
The third prince pretended to be calm and said: "Guilty? How could I be guilty? Could it be that the elder brother is trying to help the fourth brother, deliberately pulling me out to divert attention, delaying time, so that the fourth brother and the others have a chance to fool everyone."
"Smart words, I can't say no to you. I only believe in one truth. Since you are also innocent, there is nothing to be afraid of even if you are tested like the fourth brother. It just so happens that the servant is here, and he can discuss things with you. Real performance in front of the father."
"you!"
"Yuan Yu, don't worry. Yuan Shuo's words are very reasonable. In case others gossip, you should follow Yuan Han to prove your innocence." Yuan Ye said immediately.They were shocked by the matter of the fourth brother, and they even forgot that they didn't really believe that the painting was painted by the third prince. In fact, they also defaulted to the help of his counselor from the beginning.
It is the default rule of the game to use the ability of a counselor to add bricks and tiles to oneself, but because the movement made by the fourth prince is too great, it can be said to shake one side, which is completely beyond his own ability, as if a person who has never practiced martial arts suddenly becomes Martial arts master, isn't this treating everyone as fools?
So it was investigated.In other words, it is a crime to conceive a jade. If the fourth prince's drawing has only one inconspicuous advantage, who will chase after who the drawing he drew came from?No one will care at all.
Yuan Ye and the eldest prince stabbed continuously, and immediately pushed the third prince to the forefront. Now the third prince really panicked, and was afraid that the emperor would let him draw too.
In the end, without waiting for the emperor to speak, Yuechen said directly: "It's not impossible, just the third prince's draft, my servant and I are also very interested, and want to study it, Your Majesty, what do you think?"
The third prince's heart beat faster, and he finally got a "yes."
The third prince's eyes darkened, but he quickly forced himself to calm down. He still has a chance. He can draw more slowly, and wait for the fourth prince to be tested first. I can't care about him anymore.
With this only hope in mind, the third prince returned to his seat with the fourth prince and started drawing.
At this time, the accompanying readers were all arranged to another place.
Pei Jin was standing beside Lin Qingyang. She raised her head and gave Lin Qingyang a cold look. Lin Qingyang noticed it and smiled provocatively, which seemed to have explained something.
Pei Jin's complexion gradually became ugly, and she was so angry that she glared at Lin Qingyang fiercely.
As a result, Chu Lishu, who was standing next to Lin Qingyang, suddenly pulled Lin Qingyang, and the two changed positions directly, blocking Pei Jin's sight.
Lin Qingyang looked at Chu Lishu suspiciously, and Chu Lishu squinted, obviously blaming him for making an assertion just now, and Lin Qingyang was the first to say the lines that dragged the third prince out. Said one step at a time.
Lin Qingyang also remembered, but the conversation happened to go there just now, so he had to improvise, Lin Qingyang quickly apologized with a smile.
But Chu Lishu ignored him and taught him a lesson. If he said something like this badly, he might get burned. Fortunately, the First Prince and Yuan Ye transferred their hatred, otherwise Lin Qingyang would definitely be targeted after the matter was over. .
Chu Lishu naturally hoped that he could say it by himself, and he had to bear any risks in the way he came up with.
After a stick of incense, the fourth prince put down his pen and still looked at the emperor with aggrieved eyes.
The third prince next to him has been peeking at it, feeling uneasy. He didn't draw half of it for a while, and he was already sweating profusely.
Yuechen and the servant came to check, and everyone around held their breath, waiting nervously for news.
After a while, the servant and Yuechen looked at each other and nodded, Yuechen turned his head to the emperor and said: "Reporting to the emperor, it is generally not bad."
The emperor was slightly taken aback, nodded and said: "Go ahead."
Roughly speaking, it may be that the fourth prince wrote down the picture. After all, the original picture is his handwriting, but it does not mean that he understands its meaning.
Afterwards, Yuechen and the servant exchanged questions. As the questions gradually deepened, everyone's expressions became the same, dumbfounded.
The fourth prince's speech was not very clear, and some places even needed to be expressed with pictures, and the language was very naive, but even people who didn't know the waterwheel could be sure of one thing.
The fourth prince really understands the water wheel, understands the principle of it, understands what he has drawn, and understands why he draws better.
It was his painting and it was his idea.
Everyone's mind was shocked.
Until Yuechen calmed down, he pulled the servant who was excitedly holding the fourth prince's hand and turned around to give the emperor the final answer.
At this time, the emperor didn't need to reply at all, his eyes almost glowed when he looked at the fourth prince.
There is nothing more proud and honorable than that one's own son can make an achievement that all ministers and capable people can't make.
"Good boy, come to your father's side."
Concubine Mei was so excited that she quickly pushed the fourth prince. The fourth prince hesitated and looked back at Chu Lishu and the others. After everyone nodded, he slowly walked towards his fearful father.As a result, as soon as he got close, he was held up by the emperor.
"Hahahaha, as expected of my son! Well done! Well done!" The emperor was really happy, beyond everyone's imagination, and sat down with the fourth prince in his arms, letting the fourth prince sit in his arms . "Tell father, when did you have such an idea?"
The fourth prince was still a little dazed, and murmured: "When my son went to play with his companions, he saw that there was a waterwheel in the cultural museum, which was very interesting, so he played with everyone, and then heard the three of them discussing the principle. In fact, Erchen didn't quite understand it, so he just came up with some ideas, and they thought it was interesting, so they helped me make it for fun, and then..."
In fact, the fourth prince didn't know how he became like this.
At this time, Chu Lishu asked again for help in explaining, and the emperor was willing to listen.
In Chu Lishu's statement, it seems that they are just embellishments, and the main ideas and inspirations come from the fourth prince, but they didn't blow the fourth prince too much, emphasizing in disguise that it was actually the fourth prince's flash of inspiration, which came to him unintentionally.
Yue Chen helped to fool me at the right time and said: "It seems that God blesses me Da Zhou, because His Majesty blesses the common people, God borrowed aura to the Fourth Prince, and asked him to help give me Da Zhou such a wonderful method."
This bragging reduced the risk of making the fourth prince a child prodigy. After all, it is impossible for the fourth prince to create another miracle. Forcibly shaping him into a genius would be easy to be attacked.And this kind of god argument, a credit that was unintentionally produced during playfulness, will only make the emperor feel that his son is blessed, and it is very good to be blessed by the gods as a dragon son.
And it also has to be smart enough to back that up, but not too over the top.This is equivalent to giving half of the credit to the emperor and half to the fourth prince.
The emperor was really satisfied with this statement, he smiled and coaxed the four princes and said: "The emperor is blessed and smart, and he will definitely do great things in the future."
The fourth prince finally couldn't help crying when he heard this, "Father, aren't you going to punish me and my companion?"
"Not only will I not punish you, but I will also reward you heavily! You all have made great contributions!" The emperor also felt guilty for wronging his son just now, but as an emperor, he would not apologize, so he directly said a series of rewards, because they The identities of prince and accompanying student cannot be rewarded with official positions and thrones for the time being, and can only be made up for in material things such as gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin.
But these are not as valuable as the reputation of this battle and the favor of the emperor. Not only the reputation of the fourth prince spread far and wide, but even the three companions became famous.The imperial palace is the place where people order dishes. After that, who would dare to underestimate them because they were not born in a clan?
Even Concubine Mei received a steady stream of rewards.
Everyone came forward to thank you, full of joy.
It's just that the other side was covered by dark clouds. Pei Jin looked at the third prince nervously. She couldn't step forward to help at this moment, so she could only rely on the third prince to get out of danger.
But obviously she thought highly of the third prince, who was so nervous that he couldn't even reproduce a complete picture.
And at this time, the reminder came.
Yuan Ye and the eldest prince did not expect the fourth prince to be able to make a comeback. After such a beautiful turnaround, they were panicked, but they had no choice but to go forward to congratulate them. After all, the emperor was so happy, they couldn't disappoint.
They had never received this kind of honor, especially Yuan Ye, who seemed to see the scene where Yuan Ran was praised every time, and he was the same, always surprising everyone by surprise, and the name of genius is worthy of the name.
In this way, the fourth prince's limelight might completely overwhelm their elder brothers, but the fourth prince still took advantage of his young age, so he didn't immediately arouse jealousy.
It's just that the anger in my chest is about to come out, so I immediately turned to the third prince. If it wasn't for the third prince's visit just now, it's fine if the emperor rewarded him directly. It's better than the emperor rewarding the fourth prince with guilt. Again, I don't know how long this effect will last.It feels like losing my wife and losing my army.
"Father, shouldn't it be time to take a look at the third child, but he has been suspicious of the fourth child just now." The boss said directly.
Yuan Ye also opened his mouth and said, "Yeah, I've been preparing for this for a long time, why didn't I finish drawing the picture?"
This time, the third prince was already sweating profusely, his pupils trembled, looking at his slightly trembling body, and then at the half-drawn drawing that was not looking good, the emperor's eyes had changed.
