As the New Year approaches, there are more people who return to Beijing to report on their work, the capital of the Northern Jin Dynasty, which was already lively, becomes more lively after entering the wax moon, the officialdom has been cleaned up several times in succession, replaced with new blood, but has not seen peace, but is more lively, most of the people in the court used to support the eldest prince, and now there are more people who clearly support the prince of Ejiang, although the reputation of the prince of Ejiang has fallen to the bottom recently, but there are not a few people who support him to speak, and even some openly support the eldest prince.

Several other supporters of the prince also jumped out, and the number was not large, and the expensive ones were fine.

And what surprised the courtiers the most was that there were really a lot of people who supported Princess Zhenyang, although most of them were military generals, but this support really made the eldest prince's face quite ugly.

He is the eldest son, and he is the heir, although the empress has not yet named him the prince, but who in the court does not think so? The support of the civil officials made him feel that the position of the East Palace was inevitable, but the performance of the military general slapped him fiercely.

After the sun fell, he strode before everyone left, the big red cloak fluttered in the wind, very chic, as soon as he left the palace gate, there were chamberlains waiting for him to get into the prince's car.

His most trusted staff member in the car was making tea.

"Your Highness. He stood up and saluted.

The eldest prince replied, "Sit." The staff sat back in their seats and continued to make tea.

"No wonder my father wants to test them, this time, all the bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods have appeared. ”

He was talking about today's court affairs, there were several, he thought it was someone from his side, but he didn't expect the other party to support the third prince and the fourth prince.

The staff handed the brewed tea to the eldest prince, the tea fragrance was light, and after the eldest prince took it, he took a deep breath and let the fragrance of the tea soothe his emotions on the verge of collapse.

"The first prince is for you, but you have tried your best, you can't spoil a big thing because of a bad mood for a while. The staff member frowned and persuaded him.

In order to get the brothers to cooperate, the staff and the first prince can be said to have worked hard, but so far, the results are really limited.

After all, they are already grandfathers, and their temperaments and tempers are almost fixed, and it is not easy to reverse them, and besides, one of their brothers may ascend the throne as emperor, how can others forcibly reverse their temperament.

The staff said that these two have many shortcomings, but the only good thing is probably that they are soft-hearted, and they are not tyrannical people.

When he woke up, it was almost noon, and when he opened his eyes, he saw his eldest son sitting beside him, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly.

"What's coming?"

"Come and see you, don't take that pill anymore, the hospital is saying that it is the medicine of the tiger and wolf, and it hurts the body. ”

A look of relief appeared in the eyes of the first prince, "I know." ”

"If it weren't for Wei Changxuan's body collapse now, it would have been best to ask him to refine the medicine for recuperation, after all, the pill came from him, and he should know best what medicine to use to recuperate the losing body. ”

The first prince nodded, but did not speak.

The eldest prince told him about today's court events, and after the first prince heard it, he discussed with his son what to do next, and the outer and inner servants shouted to him, "Your Highness Ejiang." ”

"Well, is the eldest brother inside?" asked Prince Ejiang, but he knew in his heart that if his eldest brother was not inside, the chamberlain would not have asked for peace in such a loud voice, it was to inform the people in the house that he was coming.

Big Brother is as stupid as ever.

The prince of Ejiang had a cold face, lifted his feet and walked into the house, and the palace maids came forward to wait for him in addition to the cloak, handed him a royal blue cloisonné hand stove to warm his hands, and served tea soup to warm his throat.

When the prince of Ejiang saluted his father and brother, he sat down on the chair in front of the window, and if the first prince wanted to talk to him, he had to raise his voice, otherwise he would not be able to hear.

But doing this is a tiring thing for the first prince, after all, he is old, and he has taken the medicine of the tiger and wolf, and in the end he has hurt the foundation, although he has begun to recuperate, but he is still a little weak and can't speak loudly.

The eldest prince sat beside him, he wanted to talk to his eldest son, and he didn't need to raise his voice, but the Ejiang River was so far away, and it was difficult for him to say anything.

Seeing that his father seemed to be intending to talk to his younger brother, the eldest prince said with some displeasure, "You come here, your father is not well, you are so far away, can you hear what your father says?"

Prince Ejiang didn't intend to pay attention to it, but when he saw his father's eyes, he reluctantly got up and walked over, but the edge of the bed was already sitting on the edge of the bed, and there were only three of them in the room, father and son, and finally he had to take matters into his own hands and push and drag a sandalwood official hat chair over to sit.

It's a pity that he hasn't done this since he was a child, and he doesn't know how to put up the chair, and the legs of the official hat chair rub against the ground and make a screeching sound.

The first prince closed his eyes to resist the discomfort caused by the harsh voice, and the eldest prince said angrily, "What's the matter with you?

Lao Tzu won't! It's uncomfortable to hear it, you bite me! Prince Ejiang pursed his lips and laughed in his heart, but his face showed an extremely aggrieved look.

The first prince felt sorry for his young son, so he naturally opened his mouth to prevent the eldest son from scolding him, the eldest prince had a fireball in his heart, every time it was like this, his father protected the Ejiang River like this every time, and said that he loved himself a lot, and everything was planned for himself, but as long as he was involved in the Ejiang River, he must be the same as now, always protecting him, without one exception.

When his father finished speaking, Ejiang asked them what they were talking about, and the first prince was no longer able to tell him in detail, so he could only talk to the eldest prince.

After listening, Prince Ejiang's face was gloomy, and he said, "Su Ziyu is okay, he greeted me before, saying that he would support the third brother, Wu Liang, Gao Peng and Wang Yuanan in the early dynasty, I really didn't know that they would defect." ”

"This can be seen, right?" said the first prince, leaning on the pillow with a wilt, "No matter how nice they used to say, when it comes to a pinch, you will know whether they can use it or not." ”

The father and son were analyzing the matter of the early dynasty, and Lady Yao was also talking to Princess Zhenyang about it.

Female Officer Yao took a sip of tea and said, "Of the few who defected today, probably only Su Ziyu told Prince Ejiang, and the others should not have been said." ”

"What's the difference between saying it or not?" Princess Zhenyang sneered, "The boss will not use them anymore, that is, he is now being called to support Ejiang, if he is really the boss in the future, I am afraid that those people's careers will come to an end." ”

Lady Yao nodded, "That's what the princess said." ”

"You say, I should put Cheng Hui there to practice?"

This should have been done a long time ago, but Princess Zhenyang was reluctant, plus her husband's accident before, which disturbed her mind, her daughter's marriage was not harmonious, and she did everything against her, so she had to rely on her eldest son.

"You shouldn't make up your own mind, you should leave it to the Empress. ”

"Can it work?" Princess Zhenyang was a little uncertain, after all, the empress didn't care about her nephews, would she do this, would it make the boss and his brothers more and more nervous?

"Mother, no matter when, she is happy to be relied on by her children, you, just rest assured and boldly tell the empress that is, she can't say that her old man has already planned it. ”

If she's not mistaken, no, she won't be wrong. If the empress really intends to appoint the eldest prince as the crown prince, why has there been no movement until now, and if there is no movement, she will express her dissatisfaction, what is she not satisfied with? He is both a concubine and a long, and it is very appropriate to appoint him as the crown prince from that point of view, but the empress is not satisfied.

So until now, the eldest prince is going to be bald, but he still hasn't been able to enter the East Palace justifiably.

So who does the Empress like?

She couldn't see it before, but now, she was almost sure that it was Princess Zhenyang.

In the early years, because she insisted on marrying Han Dao, the mother and daughter broke up, although the relationship was repaired later, but in the end there was still a little embarrassment, if the empress wanted to set her up, she had to face more resistance, but not only the first prince, father and son.

The empress is waiting, waiting for the opportunity, looking back now, Lady Yao feels that the empress is not just waiting, although it is not obvious, but she can vaguely see the context, the empress is paving the way for Princess Zhenyang, but she is a mother in the end, and she treats the children she conceived in October, she is the same soft-hearted, she was soft-hearted to her daughters who resisted her back then, and now she is naturally soft-hearted to her two sons.

As a monarch, it is taboo to break constantly, when the empress is young, there is no such problem, as she grows older, she will inevitably make this problem to her children.

Female official Yao knew it, but it was not easy to persuade her, and Princess Zhenyang didn't want her to say anything in front of the empress, in the final analysis, who can become the crown prince is all in the empress's thoughts.

Moreover, it is not who becomes the crown prince, the world must be his, and before the dust settles, no one can be sure who the next emperor of the Northern Jin Dynasty will be.

"Who will be the next emperor of the Northern Jin Dynasty?" In the warm pavilion as warm as spring, Li Qianqian and Miss Lu were drinking tea, Miss Lu smiled, "It's hard to say, but looking at the situation in Beijing, the eldest prince and Princess Zhenyang are both possible, I don't know which of their brothers and sisters is more skilled." ”

Although Miss Lu is a businessman, she is still very concerned about the major affairs of her country.

Because whoever becomes the emperor will affect the current policy, especially the Lu Chamber of Commerce not only has a base in the Northern Jin Dynasty, the Lu Chamber of Commerce used to have special personnel who were paying attention to the situation of all the countries on the Zhongzhou Continent, because these things may affect the development of their Chamber of Commerce in various places.

"You don't know, I heard my father say, I didn't know that I could buy news from Fengjiazhuang before, and it was all up to the people I raised to pay attention to these things, and it took a lot of money to raise these people, and it took not only money to train them, but also mental strength. ”

Li Qianqian nodded, "I understand." "She really understands, but Miss Lu doesn't think she understands.

She cited the example that the Lu Chamber of Commerce had encountered before to prove it, "My father thought at that time that it was too expensive to raise these people, so he was lazy and transferred the people who were originally going to be sent to Zuo Jiangguo to Eastern Qi, do you know where Zuo Jiangguo is?"

Li Qianqian thought for a moment before answering, "In a small country between the Eastern Qi and the Northern Jin Dynasty?"

"Well, but Zuojiang is closer to the Eastern Qi Dynasty, near the sea, and their lord Gao Zhaoming is a talented person, but he does not have many heirs, only a single seedling, this single seedling is still weak and sickly, and from time to time there is news that he is sick and dying. ”

At that time, there were rumors that the lord of the high country planned to choose a healthy and intelligent son and nephew from the clan to succeed him, but the country of Zuojiang was not long, but there were many people in the clan, and they were scattered in the countries of the Zhongzhou continent.

After learning this news, many Gao clan relatives rushed to Zuojiang, and Lord Lu naturally sent people to wait for the opportunity, and everyone had a very optimistic candidate, just waiting for the master of Gao to pass his stepson and nephew, and make him the prince.

Among them, the highest voice, when the uncle of the high lord Dingjiang Wang grandson, the lord of Lu sent people to make friends with the prince of Dingjiang at that time, when the prince was reported to be critically ill again, everyone faintly looked forward to it, and when he passed away, Gao Huanqing, the grandson of the king of Dingjiang, would be succeeded and then crowned the prince.

The father and son of King Dingjiang regarded themselves as the grandfather and father of the future emperor, and made promises to many officials and businessmen, waiting for Gao Huanqing to succeed him.

Master Lu originally sent people to watch in Zuojiang, but it happened to meet the small country near Zuojiang Bishui was attacked by pirates, and the Lu Chamber of Commerce cooperated with Bishui's merchant ships to buy seafood from overseas.

Master Lu thought that Zuojiang had decided that the big thing had been decided, so he transferred all the people stationed in Zuojiang to Bishui.

Who knows, before people reach the clear water, there has been a change on the side of Zuojiang.

The precious son of the lord of the high country is not only not critically ill, but also very healthy, the king of Dingjiang was convicted of rebellion by the lord of the country, and the family of the king of Dingjiang and the clans that jumped the most before were all dealt with by rebellion.

At this time, everyone knew that the lord of the high country had already known that these people had different intentions, so he lured these people to Kyoto and then killed them on the grounds that his son was sick and weak and wanted to pass over.

The previous investment of the Lu Chamber of Commerce was in vain.

Moreover, the lord of the high kingdom was a grudge, but all the merchants who had dealings with these executed clans were not allowed to enter the country, and as for the courtiers who had dealings with them, they were also executed.

That year, Zuojiang was almost bloody, and the Lu Chamber of Commerce had transferred all the people before, so it became delusional if they wanted to enter the country again later.

It was a small country, and it was impossible to enter if it was not allowed to enter, but later it was discovered that in addition to the abundance of gold, silver, and iron, there was also a newly discovered ore, which could emit light after polishing, and could illuminate the whole room without lighting a lamp at night.

It is a pity that so far on the mainland of Zhongzhou, there is no chamber of commerce that has obtained the right to sell this ore, and if you want to buy it, you can only buy it in person in Zuojiang, and people have to verify and verify their identity, if it has been included in the list, they will not sell it.

"So crazy?

"Yes!" Miss Lu smiled bitterly, "So this kind of ore is only available in Sajiang, and almost no one has used it outside." ”

Li Qian snorted coldly, "Maybe there is no such thing at all, but it was made up by others to coax people." ”

"Perhaps, but the gold, silver, iron, and other metals they produce are coveted. ”

"What about their food? Are they self-sufficient, or are they bought from out of town?"

"These are not clear, I heard that even the people of Fengjiazhuang can't inquire. ”

Is it that you can't ask about it, or is the price too expensive for no one to buy?
