Everyone in my harem is talented

Chapter 547 Courage

East Palace.

"The Emperor has had someone investigate the Kong family in Qufu. They are quite famous in the area."

"My father has asked me to deal with such a sinful family. How should I deal with this family with the shining golden tablet of Confucius?"

"If I lead people to confiscate my property, wouldn't that mean I'm alienating myself from all the scholars in the world?"

"My position as Crown Prince comes from the patriarchal system. I am the eldest son and the legitimate heir. If I lead my men to destroy Confucius's house, will these Confucian scholars who follow Confucius's teachings and uphold orthodoxy still support me?"

"...I'm afraid you'll abandon me immediately."

"Your Majesty has laid out the Kong family's dark secrets before me. Should I deal with them or dispose of them? Your Majesty has made it clear that he wants me to dispose of the Kong family, not to seek titles for them and gain fame for myself."

"Why is Father making things so difficult for me? Is he really that dissatisfied with me?"

Or was it that, before he even grew up, his father was already wary of him as the Crown Prince? Did he want to suppress him?

Qin Mingxuan knew that this was impossible, but he just couldn't help but complain.

Does the emperor think too highly of him?

If he really went ahead and raided the Kong family without caring about anything, would the court officials who were all Confucian scholars and had passed the imperial examination still pay attention to him, a prince who disrespected the holy teacher?

As for the censors, it would be strange if they weren't criticized to death.

Late at night, Yuruiyuan was quiet. The moonlight sprinkled on the snow, illuminating the ground with a fluorescent white light.

The ninth prince Qin Mingxuan hugged Jiang Yulan, who had her eyes closed, buried his head in her shoulder, and whispered to herself.

Jiang Yulan opened her eyes, sighed softly, and gently stroked his back. "Your Highness is only seventeen years old. If he were born in the common people, he would not even be an adult. It is enough for Your Highness to understand the true intention of His Majesty."

"I don't understand state affairs, I only know the majesty of His Majesty. As His Majesty's legitimate son and successor, Your Highness should always put His Majesty's wishes first. Everything else is meaningless."

Your Majesty, by giving this multiple-choice question, is you testing the courage of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

Jiang Yulan didn't ask this question out loud.

Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dare?

"I will call my tenth and eleventh brothers here tomorrow and ask for their opinions." Qin Mingxuan raised his head and his eyes fell vaguely on the heavy tent.

"Your Highness, aren't you afraid that the Tenth Prince will leak the matter to the Kong family first?" Jiang Yulan paused.

Or did the Crown Prince want to use the Tenth Prince's mouth to reveal His Majesty's dissatisfaction with them to the Kong family in advance, so that the Kong family could deal with themselves and bring themselves forward knowingly?

"Tenth brother is not only my biological brother, but also the prince of Dayong. No matter how much he likes the daughter of the Kong family, he would not do such a thing. Even if he doesn't consider me, he should consider whether it is worth it to cause my father's wrath for a woman."

"My two younger brothers have been very shrewd since they were young. They are the ones who are best at weighing what to do and what not to do."

Even if he had to leak the information, the choice was not between pleasing his wife and offending his father, but whether he could make sacrifices for his brother, the crown prince.

"I see, I am too shallow."

I wonder if her cousin will fall into this trap just to target His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

Jiang Yulan's lips curled up slightly, she hugged Qin Mingxuan tightly, and gently rubbed his neck.

"Your Highness, what if it's another prince?"

"If Your Highness is in a difficult situation, why not ask the other princes to help you cut through this mess?"

"This way, we will not only respect your Majesty's wishes, but also resolve the matter without damaging your reputation."
