Zhao Mo knew that the crown prince had a different view of the crown princess's cousin Chu Zhengfang.

Chu Zhengfang is still capable, otherwise it would be impossible for him to get into a relatively high position in the army before the prince made a comeback. But he has never experienced a major war, and at most in his resume, he has assisted the general in the local area to exterminate two groups of small-scale bandits.

But if the prince just wants to install one or two of his own people among the city guards or janissaries, it is still no problem. Chu Zhengfang only needs to train the troops, manage the security in the city, and escort the royal family when a major event occurs in the palace and the imperial court, which is enough. The commander of the two armies, the city guard and the janissalian, ability is very important, but more important is loyalty. It is a bit overkill to let someone who really has the talent to be a commander fill such a responsibility.

It's just that even if the crown prince wants to promote this so-called his own person and brother-in-law, it is impossible to let Chu Zhengfang step on the emperor's henchmen and important ministers to ascend to the throne. The Marquis of Yunyang is not only from a noble background, but also a general who has experienced the Great War on the frontier, with outstanding military achievements, he commands the city guards, in fact, it is just that the emperor wants a general who can control the field to sit in Beijing, not that the Marquis of Yunyang can only do such a position.

The generals in the army who are now able to get their hands on it, General Ma Lao is old and does not like to take care of things; the Marquis of Zhenxi is a living dead, and even if he is still alive, the emperor will not be able to use him anymore; Generalissimo Yun has been acting in a low-key manner since his daughter-in-law had a problem, revealing the intention of returning to the field and retiring to the countryside, and concentrating on cultivating his sons and nephews; in addition, the Min family and several other well-known generals are not enough.

The Marquis of Yunyang not only has military merits, ability, and prestige, but also has many deputies and nephews under him, and he is in the prime of life, so he can let the prince use it for another decade or two. Not to mention that there may be a war on the Liaodong side at any time, and the imperial court urgently needs experienced and powerful generals to fight. At this time, unless Yunyang Hou committed the crime of rebellion, who would leave him idle?

The emperor would not be guilty of such a fool, and the crown prince could not be so short-sighted.

Zhao Mo even felt that even the crown princess Tang could not support Chu Zhengfang to squeeze out the Cai family. No matter how confused the crown princess is now, how she can't think about the matter of the prince accepting newcomers, she is a lady carefully cultivated by the Tang family, and she has some rules in mind. The woman could do such a thing in the inner court, but she could not reach out to the courtiers. If someone else does it, she may admonish the other party a few words, saying that the male protagonist is outside, the female protagonist is inside, and the woman should not interfere in political affairs, only by managing the family well, being filial to her in-laws, and raising her children well, can she be regarded as doing her duty.

Zhao Mo relied on his understanding of the crown princess and felt that there were some problems here.

After he freshened up, he handed the sign directly into the palace.

He had only been away from the capital for more than a month, and he didn't expect so many things to happen in such a short time. Fortunately, the small contradiction between Chu Zhengfang and Yunyang Hou is not a contradiction at all, that is, a little conflict in the officialdom, but it will develop to the point where it is now openly reversed, which is really unreasonable. Cai Shengnan's experience is just an excuse, in the final analysis, it is Chu Zhengfang and the Chu family's hostility towards Yunyang Hou and the Cai family, which has reached the point of incompatibility, so they will condone Wei's nonsense. Chu Zhengfang was so impatient and short-sighted, the crown princess was actually indifferent? The Tang family actually didn't try to dissuade him? Zhao Mo felt that this was the question he urgently needed to inquire about.

Zhao Mo successfully met the emperor, also asked the queen mother to say goodbye, and also went to see the prince. However, when he asked to see the crown princess, he hit a nail. The crown princess Tang claimed that she was still sick, and refused to see Zhao Mo for fear of being too sick. Zhao Mo couldn't, so he had to retreat. However, he did not leave immediately, but went to his cousin, Lord Minshun, and gave her a small gift that he had returned from the fiefdom.

Lord Minshun likes it very much. She actually had a misunderstanding with Zhao Mo in the past, mistakenly thinking that he was also like those children of the clan who were interested in succeeding the royal family, and he wanted to snatch his father's favor from her, so he didn't have a good feeling. Later, she found out that she was mistaken, Zhao Mo didn't think about passing it on to the prince, so she was a little kinder, but she began to be picky again, suspecting that Zhao Mo was disgusted with the prince, so she didn't want to be the prince's son, so she became angry again. The little girl's temper was weird, and she was annoyed for a while, and Zhao Mo also spent a lot of effort to coax her, so that now she is willing to be close to him, and from time to time she will be coquettish and make some small requests. Don't look at the young age of the county lord Minshun, and she is a girl, she is the only child of the prince and the princess, sometimes with her help, Zhao Mo can save a lot of trouble in the East Palace.

Zhao Mo was rejected by the crown princess today because of illness, and when he turned his head, he easily heard the truth about the princess's condition from the county lord of Minshun.

The county lord of Minshun complained to Zhao Mo in private: "The mother concubine is not sick at all! At the beginning, there was a little wind and cold, and after drinking medicine for three or four days, it was almost better." But the mother concubine was in a bad mood, and still called herself sick, and then she stayed in the house and refused to go out, nor did she want to see anyone. But there is a pulse case in the Tai Hospital, and the Tai Doctor comes every day, and all the prescriptions are safe prescriptions, and the emperor's great-grandmother and grandfather know it when they see the records of the Tai Hospital. When I went to greet my great-grandmother, my great-grandmother asked me if my mother's condition was better?

Zhao Mo paused and lowered his voice: "The crown princess doesn't like Chen Liangyuan, so she is like this, right?

"It's not very pampered, it's just average. Lord Minshun said honestly, "My father has always been kind, and the same is true for Chen Liangyuan." I think Chen Liangyuan is not as good as Chen Liangdi a few years ago. However, Chen Liangyuan is an honest person, there is never a shortage of etiquette, he comes to greet his mother every day, and his mother has seen her a few times, and she didn't say anything ugly in person, but she still feels that she is unreliable and a traitor in her heart. It's not that I think my mother has wronged a good person, but I think it's ...... There's no need to talk about this kind of thing every day. Even if Chen Liangyuan hides adultery in her heart? In the East Palace, where can she play adultery? If she continues to be honest, it will be fine, she really plays tricks and harms others, and her mother will not solve her problem with a word? Father will not do anything to spoil his concubine and kill his wife. ”

Zhao Mo raised his eyebrows: "Chen Liangyuan entered the palace in order to extend the heirs of the East Palace. The crown princess Niangniang was probably worried that after she had an imperial grandson, she would also become a person like Chen Liangdi? When the eldest emperor and grandson were still alive, the crown princess Niangniang did suffer a lot of grievances. ”

It's almost an open secret, even if Lord Minshun is a child, he knows it in his heart. But she didn't think it was that serious: "Back then, Chen Liangdi was stupid and couldn't see the situation clearly, so she was just messing around there." Even if the emperor's great-grandmother, grandfather, and father all love her brother, they don't really promote Chen Liangdi? She has not been promoted, and her mother's family has not been promoted, at most she has received some gold beads and rewards, so what is it worth? The mother concubine is just a bottomless in her own heart, so she will be extremely uncomfortable. My grandmother had already explained her countless times in private, but she couldn't think about it. Now that Chen Liangdi has also fallen out of favor, there is nothing to worry about. Chen Liangyuan is not the same kind of person as her, so there is no need to worry. Even if the mother concubine is afraid that she will not have support in the future, who of the younger brothers who will be born in the future dare not be filial to her mother? The cousin of the Chu family also proposed to her that she should find a palace maid to borrow the womb to give birth to a child, and then go to the mother to keep the child and raise it by her side, which is the same as her own child. However, my mother didn't agree, saying that it would hurt the peace of the heavens. In the end, she still has to continue to be sad and sad about not giving birth to a son to her father. ”

Lord Minshun was a little aggrieved. She felt that her mother had always loved her very much, but when it came to the issue of heirs, the meaning revealed in her mother's words and deeds was as if her daughter was useless, and only a son could guarantee her mother's status. She felt a little sad in her heart.

Zhao Mo squinted his eyes, and said some words of relief and comfort in a soft voice, which made the little girl happy, and then continued to ask: "Is the cousin of the Chu family, who proposed that Niangniang go to her mother and keep her son, is she the wife of Deputy Commander Chu?

Lord Minshun was a little embarrassed: "That...... In fact, the mother concubine is not a nobody, the grandmother and aunts came, she saw them, the cousin of the Chu family came diligently, and the mother concubine also saw every time. Now after the grandmother and aunt come to the palace to see the concubine, the concubine is often in a bad mood, but the cousin of the Chu family can always coax her to be happy, so now the cousin and aunt of the Chu family have become a frequent visitor to the concubine. Even if she doesn't come to the palace, my mother concubine will often send people to reward some things to the Chu family. ”

Zhao Mo was a little suspicious, Mrs. Chu Zhengfang often came to see the crown princess Tang, what topics did she talk about?

He looked at the county lord of Minshun and smiled slightly: "It turns out that the crown princess is now friendly with Mrs. Chu because Mrs. Chu knows how to make people happy." I've heard some rumors out there, but that's not what I said. Mrs. Chu often enters the palace, it seems that she likes the county lord!"

The county lord of Minshun suddenly blushed, stomped his feet and said, "What nonsense is Brother Mo talking about? If you laugh at me again, I will ignore you!"

Zhao Mo just wanted to be tempted, he didn't really want to make fun of the county lord of Minshun, he smiled and made a few small gifts, all of which were gadgets that the county lord had wanted for a long time in private, but he didn't dare to ask for it when his mother was still sick. When the little girl learned that she was about to get these things she wanted, she was immediately overjoyed, and she looked at Zhao Mo even more pleasing to the eye.

She told Zhao Mo a secret that outsiders didn't know: "No matter what the cousin of the Chu family originally thought of me, after I rejected the proposal of the concubine, his family had already dispelled the idea, but now he has put forward another suggestion, saying that if the concubine can't trust the woman outside, she will choose a girl from the side branch of the Chu family to enter the palace, borrow the womb to give birth to a child, it is easier to handle than others, and I am not afraid that there will be a moth." The concubine was a little hesitant, I always felt that something was wrong when I heard it, why did even the Chu family want to send their daughter into our East Palace now? My grandfather's family didn't dare to make a move! Could it be that the Chu family also thought that my mother and concubine had not been able to give birth to a son to my father, so they planned to let their own daughter give birth to one? If they succeeded, would they still need my mother's concubine?!" 2k reading network
