From about the beginning, Qin Hanzhen had only heard that there were children of the clan who wanted to seek the position of the heir, so he didn't think much about it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Before she saw "Zhao Gongzi", she also listened to rumors like everyone else, thinking that the prince was really sick and weak, and was about to die. The emperor is fine, and he has no other sons, so once the crown prince dies, the emperor will naturally have to succeed an heir as the heir.

Now that the crown prince's illness has been cured, he can live for many more years, and he will be able to inherit the throne after the death of the emperor in the future, so naturally there will be no heirs.

However, when she heard what Qin Jian said, she felt that things might not be so simple.

Both the prince and his son were born weak, and they were weakened by the womb. The crown prince himself may be because when he was born, when the prince was at the height of the prince's seizure of the heir, the emperor, as the prince, became the first target of the brothers to be framed, and he was in the most dangerous situation, and he and the Empress Qin were both imprisoned in the East Palace. The Qin family was also in trouble at that time. Empress Qin was in a secluded life, her body became weak, and her son was weakened, which was a very normal result. She herself fell ill because of this period of life, and after becoming the queen, she died not long after.

But after the death of the queen, there were no fewer concubines around the emperor, but he did not hear of adding princes and princesses to the harem. If it was the result of the harem overturning, with the emperor's temper, it would be impossible for him not to take action, but it seems that none of the concubines in the rumors were punished for their crimes, and it was generally quite harmonious - probably because everyone did not give birth to children for the emperor, and the competition for favor was more peaceful. Those princes and princesses who died early were basically too weak to support them, otherwise they had a natural miscarriage when they were still in their mother's body.

The emperor's knees are empty, and the prince's health is not good, but the number of concubines in the harem is not much. This is somewhat counterintuitive. The Empress Dowager is still here, and the elders of the clan are still alive, so how can they see that the emperor has no heir? Since the crown prince is weak and does not live long, it is better to have a few healthy heirs. But the emperor didn't mean this, the draft was always avoidable, and the queen mother and concubines didn't urge him, and even the courtiers didn't even write a few words to persuade the emperor.

Qin Hanzhen can only infer that probably everyone knows that the emperor's health is not very good, and it may be the root cause of the disease left when he fell back then, so the heirs are difficult, and the number of harems is the same. Since the emperor didn't want to toss, the outer court and the inner court also saved effort, otherwise there were more concubines in the palace, and they had to spend more money.

At the same time, the little imperial grandson born to the crown prince was also born weak and carefully raised, but he still lost his life because of a little cold, and in addition, he only heard that the crown princess Tang gave birth to a royal granddaughter, and he never heard that a child was born in the East Palace. Qin Hanzhen deduced from this that the catastrophe that year probably affected not only the emperor and Empress Qin, but also the crown prince, who was also a person with difficult heirs.

If it was a problem in this regard, Dr. Ye cured the prince's body, so that he could walk freely and no longer get sick at every turn, but in terms of fertility, I don't know if there was any improvement. If not, the prince is still facing the dilemma of having no successor. In other words, the emperor may not have to succeed the prince, but the crown prince may need to succeed an heir to the emperor's grandson, otherwise he will still face the same troubles as his father after succeeding to the throne.

Thinking about it this way, it is not difficult to understand which nephew the prince thinks is pleasing to the eye and cares for him more kindly. If the nephew is about the same age as his biological son, who died young, and there is still some similarity between the eyebrows and eyes, it is easier to empathize.

Qin Hanzhen felt that everyone was attracted by the battle between the heir and the prince at the moment, but he didn't expect that the crown prince might also have a stepson, probably because he had fallen into a misunderstanding. Thinking about the emperor, he only has the crown prince, and he must treat him like a jewel on weekdays. Now that the crown prince is still there, who of those clan disciples who are interested in seeking the position of heir to the throne of the prince have taken the prince in their eyes? Everyone thinks that he is a roadblock to death sooner or later. If the emperor is still alive, they will be able to treat the living prince in this way, and when the prince dies in the future, will they still be able to sincerely offer the prince's incense? What will happen to the wife and daughter left behind by the prince? The ancients should have paid great attention to this matter, and with the emperor's favor for his son, it was impossible not to consider these things.

If it is the crown prince's heir, then everything is solved. Because the heir and grandson must worship the heir's father's incense, honor the heir's mother, and love the heir's sister, even if it is not sincere and filial, it is necessary to do a good job on the surface and save people's words.

The more Qin Hanzhen thought about it, the more she felt that this possibility was very high, she looked at Zhao Mo and asked him: "Did you really not expect this possibility? Think about it, standing in the position of the emperor, it is not his own flesh and blood anyway, what is the difference between a son and a grandson? He must give priority to the future life of his son's family!"

Zhao Mo's expression was a little strange, neither surprised nor excited. He just remained silent, and after a long while, he asked softly, "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really has such thoughts...... What does my cousin think I should do?"

Qin Hanzhen said: "Cousin Zhao, what can you do? Now that the prince hasn't said anything, you naturally can't do anything." But if one day, he really asks you to pass on, then it will be up to you to do so. ”

Zhao Mo blinked, staring at Qin Hanzhen with both eyes: "My will?"

"Of course you want it. Qin Hanzhen said a little inexplicably, "This is your own business, of course you decide it yourself." Your father treats you badly, the prince treats you well, who is easier to live with, the answer is obvious. But once you go out, you can't recognize your mother anymore, and I don't know if you can accept that. Also, being the heir of the crown prince is not the same as being the heir of ordinary people. Think about what has happened in the capital now in order to compete for the position of the emperor's heir, who has not yet been given a single character. You're a victim yourself, and you know the danger. If you really pass by, there will definitely be no quiet days in the future. Not to mention anything else, your father is still here, and you know very well how much he yearns for power. If he asks you to be at his mercy in the name of your biological father, will you or should not? If you do, the emperor and the crown prince will certainly be unhappy; no, it seems that there is a suspicion of unfilial piety. Sandwich biscuits are the worst to make, you have to think about it. ”

Zhao Mo didn't know what sandwich biscuits were, but he understood the meaning of Qin Han's true words. He suddenly seemed to be happy: "Cousin also thinks that the royal heir is not good, so it is better for me to continue to be an idler of my clan?"

Qin Hanzhen said: "This is your own future, of course, it is up to you to decide." There are advantages and disadvantages to adoptiveness. If you become the heir of the crown prince, the current predicament will be solved immediately, and you don't have to worry about the people of the Liao Wangfu and the Wang family bullying you in the future, let alone anyone who dares to underestimate you. But whether you choose to become a master or be a rich idler with peace of mind, you all have your own rights and obligations. Once you have enjoyed your rights, you have to bear the obligations and risks that come with them. This is your life, and no one else can take the lead for you. ”

Zhao Mo smiled and said, "I thought my cousin would persuade me to fight." His Highness is treating me well now, and if I have the heart to please him, it is not impossible for me to succeed. ”

Qin Hanzhen frowned and said, "Why should I persuade you to fight? How big is the risk of the change of imperial power, our Qin family has suffered a big loss! We, the relatives of the imperial family, and the day of the comeback, the prince and heir who were swept into the turmoil or something, but they died nine times and died. The winner may not be able to live well, and the loser is generally in danger. Ready-made examples are there. Even if he really becomes a winner, holding power and ruling the country, it sounds like infinite scenery. But with your temperament, you can't be a faint king, you must get up early and deal with political affairs in the dark, and you may not be able to relax if you worry about it for decades, and it is very difficult to get out, basically you are trapped in the palace, no matter what you do, there are a large group of people watching and managing it. Isn't it fun to have a day like this?"

Zhao Mo smiled and said, "Of course it's boring. I also want to travel the world and increase my knowledge. What's the point of being in front of four high walls all day?"

This was what Qin Hanzhen had said to him, and she smiled and nodded: "That's exactly the truth." But after laughing, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Cousin Zhao, I'm not asking you to reject the prince." I'm just expressing my opinion. If you want to fight, I'll support you. "Of course, just moral support.

Zhao Mo smiled and took her hand: "Uncle, grandpa, grandma are still waiting for us, we have been delayed for so long, don't wait until the food is cold before passing." Uncle and grandmother are going to scold. ”

Is he diverting the topic? Qin Hanzhen let him lead him away, and said: "Cousin Zhao, I'm talking to you about business, what do you think, give me a quasi-word?" Whether you are happy or not, you must come up with a charter in advance, and you will ...... in the future" She suddenly stopped and looked around, "When someone asks about you in the future, you will have a good idea." ”

"Alright, I know what to do. Zhao Mo smiled and pulled her into the main courtyard, "The eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, what are we going to do with that heart?"

Qin Han really thought about it, the prince was just kind to Zhao Mo, and he didn't explicitly say that he would succeed him, and it was indeed a bit early to start worrying about it now. Since Zhao Mo said that he knew it in his heart, there was no need for her to meddle in her affairs.

Qin Bai in the room still looked calm, but the Niu family had been waiting impatiently, and Qin Jian couldn't sit steadily, staring at the food on the table and wanting to drool. When he saw that Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo were finally here, his eyes lit up: "Come on, come on, what are you rubbing? I'm so hungry I can't stand it!"

Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo glanced at each other, smiled, and hurriedly sat down at the table, and the family had dinner together.
