MTL - I’m the Hero, His Brother, Wear It Quickly-Chapter 344 The sick and weak emperor [08]

In the feudal society, the power of the emperor is really great, and it is not an empty phrase if the emperor wants his ministers to die.

Of course, the exception is the kind of puppet emperor who is in power.

Lin Yuanjia was not a puppet emperor, and the imperial power became more concentrated after Yuanjia passed through.

Now he has directly imprisoned the Empress Dowager Zhang and Lin Zhixuan, but he can't spread any news.

People outside who didn't know the inside story thought that King Jin was a relapse of an old injury that had been sacked before.

The King of Jin was in bed to recover from his injuries in the King's Mansion, and he could not stay behind closed doors. The Queen Mother stayed in bed in the Cining Palace to recuperate from his illness, but it was a normal phenomenon, and no one suspected it.

Or maybe the smart people who guessed the truth didn't care about these two people at all.

Because Yuan Jia put a big thunder in the morning.

"I want to adopt a successor, and the five to eight-year-old sons and daughters in the clan will be sent to the palace to raise them, waiting to be seen."

Everyone knows that the emperor is sick and weak. In recent years, the emperor has never set foot in the harem to be a concubine. The courtiers are basically certain that the emperor is too sick to be able to visit the concubine, and they have no hope for the prince.

Everyone thought that the emperor would appoint his fellow brother, King Jin, as the emperor's younger brother. After all, only two people in the emperor's family had the closest blood relationship, and King Jin was the best candidate for the crown prince.

But he didn't expect that Yuan Jia didn't even mention Lin Zhixuan, and wanted to adopt the child directly from the clan.

The emperor has no sons, and it is a legitimate act to want an adoptive heir, and the courtiers have no reason to object.

The clansmen who have a direct son of the right age are happy in their hearts, but the courtiers are worried. The emperor is sick, and he adopts a young clan son. If the emperor dies early, then the adopted prince and the adult Jin Wang are just afraid... The courtiers had the heart to persuade the emperor to adopt the older clan son, but they did not dare to express this concern, saying it was a big sin that the emperor would die prematurely.

On the second day of Yuan Jia's order, all boys from the age of five to eight in the clan were sent to the palace.

Although the clan has a large number of people, there are not too many direct sons and direct daughters who meet Yuan Jia's age requirements, and there are only more than 30 children in total.

Yuan Jia originally wanted to only limit the age, not the concubines, but after thinking about it, the fact that the concubines are not divided is the fate of the chaotic family. Since ancient times, it has been the inheritance system of the firstborn son, so he still decided to choose from the sons and daughters.

He has no gender restrictions. If there are outstanding girls, he can train a queen.

Yuan Jia didn't say it directly, so everyone else just thought that he wanted both children and children, so they asked the clan to send the direct daughter into the palace.

After these children entered the palace, Yuanjia sent people to place them in a palace specially cleaned up. It was not necessary to separate men and women because they were young, and they lived together for the time being.

Then let them go to the study room together to teach them, and ask the master to teach them.

Yuan Jia didn't go to see these little radishes, and he didn't intend to develop feelings with them. He is now dragging his sick body. In addition to handling government affairs, he just relaxes and recuperates his body every day.

The troublesome thing of raising a child does not need him to do it himself.

These children are only temporarily raised in the palace, go to school in the palace, and are given vacations every month to let them go home to reunite with their parents. He has no intention of separating these children from their biological parents.

However, Yuan Jia didn't care about them. He sent people to observe their every move and pay attention to their temperament and behavior. After all, the future prince will be selected from these children, and he can't choose an unqualified prince. Do harm to the country.

Jin Wangfu.

Lin Zhixuan was imprisoned in Prince Jin's mansion and was not allowed to go out, and his temper became much more irritable.

When Jiang Yin and others received the news, they could get away at any time if they wanted to.

It's just that the peaceful days in Prince Jin's mansion made these girls who were living in the dust reluctant to give up, especially Jiang Yin, who was in charge of the internal affairs of Prince Jin's mansion. Although she left the mansion for the rest of her life, she could rely on her for the rest of her life, and she could change her identity to marry someone else.

But a person like her was drugged in the building, and she took the initiative to have no children in her life, and it would not be easy to marry a child without a child. It would be better to continue to be her nameless mistress in the Jin Palace.

As for not being able to leave the Jin Dynasty's mansion casually, anyway, the female family members can't go out at will, wouldn't it be nice to stay in the mansion and play cards with the sisters? It just so happened that Lin Zhixuan came up with something like mahjong playing cards. She and the other sisters set up two tables and played happily every day.

Lian'er and Mei Qing'er, who were not from Jiang Yin and the others' camp, also joined them.

Because Lin Zhixuan had suspicions about Lian'er after he was taken back to Jin Wang's mansion from the palace. He suspected that Lian'er was sent by Yuan Jia to kill him. The original Jin Wang was killed by Lian'er. It was not until he came here that he didn't die, so this Lian'er deliberately approached him and wanted to kill him again.

Lin Zhixuan's suspicion and precaution made Lian'er, who had been sincere towards him, very sad.

It was indeed an accident that Lian'er was shocked by King Jin's horse. Although she had deliberately seduced Lin Zhixuan in order to save her life when she found out that Lin Zhixuan coveted her beauty, but after getting along for so long, she gradually gave her sincerity.

Even though Lin Zhixuan took the beauties back to the house one after another, and Lian'er didn't give much sincerity, she did treat him with sincerity.

Lin Zhixuan was prepared to keep her from alienating her. She was heartbroken, and then she was dragged by the smart and clever Mei Qinger to join Jiang Yin and the others.

When Lin Zhixuan came back to his senses, he found that he had been isolated by his women.

No one paid any attention to him anyway. Every day, several women played mahjong and landlords and talked about makeup. When Lin Zhixuan came, they were as quiet as chickens, and the atmosphere was awkward.

Lin Zhixuan, who felt that he was being excluded and isolated, was very angry, but he was reluctant to get angry with a few beauties, and he couldn't even lose face.

So Lin Zhixuan could only hold back his grievances. He stayed in the mansion, thinking about ways to lift the grounding.

In the end, Jiang Yin gave him a suggestion: "My lord, those inventions you made in the past are all rare things, and they are of great use to the court. Why don't you invent some good things and give credit to them in exchange for freedom?"

Lin Zhixuan was so moved by Jiang Yin that he immediately started working.

He still has a lot of good things that he can use in exchange for his freedom. After he goes out, he must find a way to overthrow this faint-hearted ruler!

A delusional tool man, Lin Zhixuan, began to invent things diligently.

Originally, Lin Zhixuan wanted to hide and keep those important inventions for himself to gain reputation later, and only get some minor things out.

However, Yuan Jia kept the things and did not let them go, so Lin Zhixuan had to continue to study more good things.

For example, fertilizers that increase grain yields…

Twenty years later.

Yuan Jia, with a sick face, was sitting in the pavilion in the imperial garden, holding a small dumpling and brushing his hair. He grabbed a handful of fish food and threw it into the carp pond next to him. Several beautiful koi scrambled for it.

He still looks sick and can't live long, but Empress Dowager Zhang, who used to be healthier than him, died of illness ten years ago, and he is still alive and well.

The big eunuch, Xiao Li Zi, who had been waiting by his side, had also dyed a few strands of white hair on his temples and looked a little old. After all, he was in his fifties.

But Yuan Jia still looks as young as before, but his appearance is more mature and handsome.

Xiao Lizi bowed and reported: "Your Majesty, the third prince and the fourth princess ask to see you."

Yuan Jia paused when he threw the fish food, and then looked over slightly: "Oh?

The more than 30 children who were raised in the palace at that time have grown up now, and Yuan Jia finally selected five children to adopt under the name of Lin Yuanjia.

The five children are a total of four boys and one girl. The five children are ranked according to their age. The only girl who catches his eye is the fourth princess who ranks fourth.

Because for a long time the world's requirement for women is to be husbands and children, so even if Yuan Jia treats these children equally, there are still many girls who are better than boys.

But among these girls, only the fourth princess intends to compete with others for the crown prince. The other girls do not have enough confidence in thinking of the difficulties they may face in the future, or hesitate or shrink back, so they are rejected by Yuan Yuan. Ka eliminated.

Perhaps these outstanding girls may not fail to strengthen their beliefs and shine in the competition for storage positions, but Yuan Jia did not give them a chance to hesitate.

Because this world is inherently difficult, to come up with a queen, the resistance is unimaginable. Yuan Jia didn't have the heart to support an empress on the throne. He treated princes and princesses equally, and naturally he would not be more inclined to princesses, and deliberately wanted to cultivate an empress.

His attitude towards these five children is to encourage healthy competition and put an end to vicious competition. Whoever is the best will be appointed as the crown prince.

Yuan Jia never cultivated any father-son-father-daughter relationship with them, and his attitude was businesslike and not close.

When Yuan Jia's thoughts were drifting away, two men and women in Chinese clothes came side by side.

The men are handsome and calm, and the women are steady and elegant, coming side by side, and no one is inferior to each other.

"My son attends the royal father!"

"My son attends the royal father!"

The third prince and the fourth princess bowed respectfully to Yuan Jia.

Yuan Jia rubbed the back hair of the sleeping dumpling with his eyes narrowed, his eyes swept over the two of them, and said indifferently: "No gift. How is the disaster relief situation?"

The third prince replied first: "Report to the emperor, the disaster situation has been controlled, and the corrupt officials who embezzled the disaster relief funds have been beheaded and displayed to the public, quelling the grievances of the people."

The fourth princess continued: "Father, the embankment is repaired every year, but the embankment still bursts, because the money was embezzled when the embankment was built, and they cut corners. This levee burst and flood..."

Yuan Jia squinted and listened to the two reporting the disaster relief situation, and was quite satisfied with their performance.

In fact, they had the people he arranged around them. Even before they came to report, Yuan Jia knew their every move.
