Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Choice
"Ahem, cough, cough!" When the emperor was rarely awake, he was tortured by this cough very uncomfortable.
Li Quan hurriedly handed over the spittoon, took the filth, and served the emperor to rinse his mouth, and vaguely heard the voice of a female dependent outside, and asked,
"Who's making noise outside?"
Li Quan responded cautiously, "It's Concubine Zhen who is pleading for Prince Yide!"
Li Quan secretly thought, it's really thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, before the eldest princess was forced to kowtow to Concubine Zhen to ask for guilt, and now it's his turn.
Even if the emperor loves Concubine Zhen no matter how much he loves, thinking of what her mother's family has done, he can't wait to put all the Zhen family to death, but the old grandmother of the Zhen family is still there, thinking of the old man who is old and kind, he really can't bear to let her worry about her children and grandchildren in her old age, so he can only pull out a few of their children and nephews.
The voice outside continued, and the emperor had a headache when he heard it, so he said, "You go and tell her, if she quarrels again, their Zhen family will not be a matter of a few sons and nephews." ”
Li Quande was waiting on the side, unable to leave, with a wave of his hand, a small yellow door behind him hurriedly ran out, but after a moment, the sound stopped, and the small yellow door went back and forth, saying that Concubine Zhen Gui Niangniang had gone back.
The emperor was still relieved about the affairs of the previous dynasty, so he asked,
"How did Zhang Shoufu deal with the things outside?"
Li Quanquan is the chief eunuch in charge of the affairs of Si Libing, and he also has the right to contact the chapter, so he said,
"Back to the emperor's words, Jiangnan patrol salt imperial history Lin Ruhai died of serious illness, only a daughter and his heir, he wrote back and forth under his rule, Jiangnan had this catastrophe, the heart was guilty, in order to bear the grace of the saint, then half of the family property was dedicated to the court, in order to provide disaster relief. ”
"Lin Ruhai?" Chaos's head flashed Lin Ruhai's loyal and humble figure.
"Wasn't it good a year ago? Why did he go?"
The emperor had heard the news of Lin Ruhai's illness before, and he originally thought that he was dissatisfied with his failure to leave Jiangnan as he wished.
For such a chaotic situation in Jiangnan, the emperor is also dissatisfied with Lin Ruhai, just because he has already reported that he is seriously ill, and his health is not good, so he can only drag it out, the emperor still believes in his ability, he has served in Yangzhou for more than ten years, safe and stable, he wanted him to make meritorious contributions, but who would have thought that he had gotten the news of his death.
Li Quan cautiously replied, "Jiang Gongzi Jiang of the Jinwuwei Office Jiang Gongzi is in Jiangnan, and he sent a secret message. ”
"He, why is he there?"
Jiang Gongzi's stepmother thought that the climate in Jiangnan was warm and moist, suitable for recuperation, and it happened that Jiang Gongzi had some symptoms before, so he was sent to Jiangnan to recuperate. ”
When the emperor heard this, he was dissatisfied, "This Marquis Changping is really getting more and more out of tune!"
This Jin Wuwei is a spy agency that is specifically responsible for the emperor, and the choices of its members are passed down from generation to generation, and others have no way of knowing, even if they know the existence of Jin Wuwei, there are only a handful.
Jin Wuwei is mysterious and powerful, but because it is too mysterious, some public things cannot be stopped, such as Jiang Zining, although he is the son of the king's grandson, but he was driven to Jiangnan by his stepmother and father, he can use Jin Wuwei's identity to say I won't go?
At that time, I am afraid that the first person to ask him to die will be Jin Wuwei himself.
The emperor took a sealed letterhead, and the seal was intact, and he confirmed that no one had checked it before opening it.
The letter records in detail that Lin Ruhaizi suddenly fell seriously ill after returning to Yangzhou at the beginning of the year, but in fact he was highly poisonous, and at the same time attached a pulse diagnosis, and then Jiangnan was disrupted, and the dispute between the abolished prince and the prince of Yide was abolished, and then the prince was deposed, the Zhen family covered the sky with one hand, and the remnants of the abolished prince were liquidated, and Jiangnan was in turmoil.
In detail, not only the truth about Lin Ruhai's poisoning, but even the conversations between the Zhen family and his henchmen are written one by one.
The more the emperor looked at it, the more angry he became, and the two sons who valued him the most stirred up their own rivers and rivers upside down, and coughed again.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem!"
Li Quansheng spit out the stolen goods spit out by the emperor, and his face changed greatly when he opened his eyes, and immediately hid the spittoon in his hand behind him.
"Whew!" The heavy wheezing, even if the emperor didn't see his stolen goods, but the sticky smell of iron and blood in his mouth couldn't be hidden, and his chest was like a windmill leaking from the wind, and every gasp brought a burst of pain.
The emperor knew that he had pursued the immortal medicine behind his back for many years, but in the end he still failed to succeed, and his heart was desolate, thinking of his ancestors' dislike for such things, it was still reasonable.
I still remember that I was a young and ignorant child when I ascended the throne forty-one years ago, and my only thought at that time was to be a good emperor, for more than 40 years, not only did my descendants not teach well, but the country was also governed in a mess, and I was ashamed of my ancestors!
A cloudy tear slipped from the corner of his eye and his sideburns.
For the sake of the great cause of the country, all the emotions in the past had to be thrown away, and the emperor began to think carefully about his sons.
The abolished prince is both a grandson and a long, and there is no more suitable than him in terms of identity, but unfortunately he is not patient enough, he is squinted by the power, and he forgets the family affection of his father and son.
The second son is a good one, good at martial arts and atmospheric, although he is a little short-tempered, but there is no big problem with his own look, he has always been his most desirable child. The former prince was bad, and he once wanted him to take over the throne, and he also turned a blind eye to his efforts to rein in the former prince's power, but now it seems that the second child has soft ears and trusts the Zhen family too much, and he can't control his own power at all.
There is also the fourth, at this moment the emperor also noticed that he has been obscure fourth son Zhao Qisheng, Zhao Qisheng was born to the late Jiang Zhaoyi, Jiang Zhaoyi was not favored, and he had to go early in his early years, when Concubine De's eldest son died, Concubine De's temperament was soft, in line with his heart, after the eldest son died, he was heartbroken, and the saint took pity on him, and raised Zhao Qisheng under the knee of Concubine De, and later Concubine De had a naughty Nine Emperor Sons, Zhao Qisheng was even more neglected.
As an adult, Zhao Qisheng ranked third, but he was willing to be a follower behind the prince, he had the same baby face as his mother, he never showed a sense of threat among his brothers, and in the emperor's heart, he was just a son who was not heroic enough but still loyal, far from being in his list of heirs.
But if you think about it, although he looks immature, he has never missed the things that have been delivered to him, which is something that will be hidden.
The old six temperament is comfortable and atmospheric, but he is not interested in politics, he only likes landscape poetry and painting, and has always been not in harmony with the ambitious Zhenguo Mansion and Concubine An, but he has never restrained his foreign family, I don't know if he really places his affection on the landscape or as a cover.
Whether it's true or not, he can't care about it now, as long as he is capable, capable, and able to entrust the country.
In the first few, the Nine Emperor Princes from Concubine De look good, but they are too young, if they still have some years, they may be able to take a detailed look, but now, that's it!
In the end, I counted it carefully, and I chose among the fourth and sixth children.
