At that time, the first emperor favored Rou Guifei, and preferred the son of Rou Guifei to be the crown prince, but the Guangling King was nine years younger than today's son, and the first emperor was often in poor health at that time, and the ministers were worried about the suspicion of the lord and the country, and they were all opposed to the establishment of the Guangling King - especially Huan Guanlan - after the first emperor fought for the Guangling King many times without success, he could only give up the plan to pass the throne to his favorite son. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

But this is not the turn of today's son, but King Gaomi - King Gaomi is two years younger than today's son, although his biological mother Mo's background is not high, she is one of the nine concubines in the time of the first emperor, ranked in Xiuyi, and is commensurate with the sisters of Rou Guifei, not the Empress Dowager Meng who only got her name by giving birth to a son.

King Gaomi himself is handsome, tall, and resolute, and has won the appreciation of the court, not to mention that the first emperor favored him, and he was second only to King Guangling.

The most important thing is that King Gaomi is broad-minded, at least he shows a broad mind: he cares and loves his brothers and sisters, whether they are favored or not, and he is also respectful and courteous to his concubines, regardless of their status, whether they speak in front of the emperor or not, without the arrogance of a favored prince.

In this case, not only did the first emperor feel relieved to pass on the throne to him, but Concubine Rou also thought that it was not bad to support King Gaomi when her own son could not live in the East Palace.

But it was still opposed by the old ministers headed by Huan Guanlan - because today's son is now known to the world for being mediocre and lustful, and when he was a teenager, he was also outstanding in terms of appearance and qualifications.

And because his biological mother is not favored, and he is not loved by the first emperor, when he is the prince today, he is definitely a model of humility and prudence, and it can be said that he is so well-behaved that it makes people feel distressed.

Otherwise, even if he is the eldest son of the first emperor, he may not be able to get the favor of his imperial grandfather.

The eldest son of the emperor is not at fault, even if King Gaomi performs well and is deeply satisfied, Huan Guanlan and others will not agree to change the prince other than the emperor's eldest son to the prince, but persuade the first emperor with the generosity of King Gaomi: "King Gaomi has a broad mind, and he will be able to assist the emperor's eldest son in the future, and achieve a good story of brotherhood and mutual affection between kings and ministers!" If Your Majesty insists on establishing King Gaomi, I am afraid that the friendship between the two highnesses will be ruined!"

Because the first emperor didn't like the Empress Dowager Meng, he didn't have much affection for today's son, and he was really unwilling to hand over the throne to this son who he usually couldn't think of, so he couldn't resist the ministers, so he could only reluctantly set up the eldest son as the prince.

However, Concubine Rou still couldn't give up, and privately persuaded the first emperor that since it was fruitless to directly appoint a prince other than the eldest son, it was better to try to figure it out slowly - first, to try to find out the evidence that the eldest son of the emperor was not suitable for the prince, so as to persuade the ministers to be easy to be the prince, and second, to vigorously cultivate the prince who was favored by the first emperor, so that he could have the capital to be supported by the ministers, so as to achieve the goal of easy storage.

As for what will happen to the deposed emperor's eldest son, Concubine Rou doesn't care, and the first emperor doesn't care.

Of course, Concubine Rou gave such an admonition for the sake of King Guangling, but their mother and son were destined to be blessed not enough: these words were only heard by the first emperor, and the first emperor fell seriously ill, and with the efforts of the imperial doctors, although he was saved, he also had a premonition that he would not live long.

In this case, the first emperor felt that it would be too late to cultivate the young King Guangling, so he poured all his efforts into King Gaomi, not only ordering him to accompany him all day long, teaching the emperor's skills by words and deeds, but also trying to help him accumulate power and plump his wings.

Zhao Ziye, the princess of Gaomi, was decided by the first emperor in order to tie up the Zhao family, who had been officials for several generations, had a clean family reputation, and was influential in Shilin, to King Gaomi.

said that it was the princess, in fact, the court knew it at that time, and the first emperor simply chose his daughter-in-law according to the standard of the future mother of the country - although the selection of the future mother of the country first looked at the family background, but at that time, the court was not inferior to the Zhao family, and there were many families, and it was Zhao Ziye's excellence that impressed the first emperor.

However, the world is unpredictable, although the first emperor almost put his heart into King Gaomi in his later years, he can simply help King Gaomi design today, but he died before Yi Chu survived.

After Huan Guanlan led a hundred officials to take the throne in front of the Ling, and changed the Yuan Xuanjing in the following year - under the town of Huan Guanlan and General Zhou, even though King Gaomi held all kinds of hole cards left by the first emperor, and even a considerable part of the military power, he could only bow his head in front of Emperor Xuanjing and call himself a minister.

Fortunately, after Emperor Xuanjing came to power, he worked hard for a few years, but because of his infatuation with the Shu sisters, he abandoned the government and government, and even the two heroes who helped him sit on the throne, General Zhou and Huan Guanlan, went wrong one after another.

In this case, King Gaomi decisively united with King Guangling and other clans, under the banner of "the world is the world of the Rong family, how can relatives be allowed to point fingers", Shengsheng won half of the court from the hands of the Meng family, which was originally in a good situation, and laid the temple situation of this dynasty to the present.

Therefore, Zhao Ziye, the high-density princess, although she has not been promoted, her status is still noble and extraordinary.

It's a pity......

Thinking of the past, Old Madam Qin couldn't help but sigh again, suddenly felt no interested, and didn't bother to let Zhao Taoxiang continue to speculate, and said bluntly: "You think about what I told you at the beginning, in the post handed over by Mrs. Ning Weihou, about the relationship between the children of the Sheng family and Ning Weihou's mansion, think about it!"

Zhao Taoxiang muttered puzzledly: "The girls who had a dispute with me in Danmo Building at the beginning are the younger generations of Mrs. Ning Weihou's father-in-law when he was in the army...... Mrs. Ning Weihou's father-in-law?

She finally grasped the point, "General Zhou's old department?!"

"And it's not an ordinary old department!" Old Madam Qin said hesitantly, "You were born late and young, so you don't know the allusions of the Sheng family's father and son-don't look at the fact that they have been living in the remote Nanfeng County for the past twenty years, it is not comparable to ordinary squires!"

"That Sheng Shixiong is the grandfather of the girl who quarreled with you, but even the court and the middle government have heard of it back then: he was born in a rich family, or an only son, but he didn't do it as a good squire, and took the initiative to join the army to serve the country; when he was a teenager, he followed General Zhou to fight in the north and south of the river, and he fought bloodily before the battle, forgetting to die, and when he was free, he also heard the chicken dancing and waited for him, and he had a heart to serve the country, which can be said to be never slack...... This loyalty has been rare throughout the ages. ”

"If it weren't for General Zhou's background, the talents accumulated over several generations would have been enough, and he would have transferred this Sheng Shixiong to his side as a confidant!"

"Rao is so, this Sheng Shixiong is also deeply valued by him, it is said that he is often called in and out of the tent, and he is friendly with General Zhou!"

"After General Zhou's accident back then, he was angry and returned to the field with a few subordinates!"

"Or else...... How could this Sheng family be obscure now and make you think that it was not a big deal to practice his granddaughter?"

"It's the current Ning Weihou, do you think there are so many old people in the army who are with General Zhou, why did he come out as a model of pacification for the imperial court?"

"Isn't it all his own father Xu Baoting, but also Sheng Shixiong's secret help--otherwise, you say that the Xu family is really so high-spirited, the old boss father and son have been at home for so many years, and they are still courteous to the Sheng family? Xu Baoting's status in the army was not very high back then, and there were more bosses, why didn't you see the Xu family being so affectionate to other old bosses?"

He also said, "When Sheng Shixiong's son Sheng Lanci was the father of the girl who quarreled with you, and asked Zhishi to return to his hometown on the grounds that 'the old father is sick, and as the eldest son, he must do his filial piety', why did you say that the imperial court was rich?

Old Madam Qin sneered, "Originally, it was just a trivial matter, if you don't give up and humiliate the Sheng family for a while, then you will wait for the Meng family to hype up our Zhao family's bullying of the old department that General Zhou attaches great importance to! You must know that in the eyes of the old people who are still alive in the army, the relationship between the younger generations of the Sheng family and General Zhou is closer than that of the younger generations of the Xu family!"

"If we fall under the pretext of bullying the Sheng family, this fire will definitely burn to the side of the Gaomi Palace, and become your uncle's evidence and handle against General Zhou's old department!"

She looked at Zhao Taoxiang, and couldn't hide her disappointment in her eyes, "I didn't want to make it clear, so I only persuaded you from the perspective of upbringing, hoping that you would wake up by yourself......!" Xu is what Ge's mother said makes sense, you are young and immature. ”

――If it is sixteen-year-old Zhao Ziye, where is such a trick to be used by the elders to be so persuasive?

It must be a glance at the post, and it will be understood.

This idea, Mrs. Qin didn't say it, after all, she is her own granddaughter, and her qualifications are already unsatisfactory, and if she continues to blow it, she may not be able to get better, and it may make Zhao Taoxiang resentful and jealous of her aunt.

But what she said was enough to make Zhao Taoxiang feel ashamed and irritable, biting her lip, Zhao Taoxiang asked half-unconvinced, half-puzzled: "But grandmother, since General Zhou attaches great importance to Sheng Shixiong, even if there is already a talent accumulated by the Zhou family over the generations, there is no place to place that Sheng Shixiong, but when Sheng Shixiong returns to the field, it seems that his official position is not very high?"

Old Madam Qin was too disappointed to sigh this time, and only said lightly: "Then have you counted the age of Sheng Shixiong when he returned to the field?"

Without waiting for Zhao Taoxiang to speak, the old lady had already said by herself, "Thirty-five years old - he is the general of Dingyuan in the army who is on the fifth grade, and he is awarded the rank of lieutenant from the fourth grade light car!"

Zhao Taoxiang said aggrievedly: "It's the fifth grade! Big brother can't Chinese New Year's Eve it today, it's a five-grade official." Even if the award is from the fourth grade......"

"Do you think military attachés are the same as civil officials?" Old Madam Qin's eyes swept across her face like a knife, making her expression subconsciously stiffen, and Fang said contemptuously, "As the saying goes, Xiucai can't rebel for three years!

"General Zhou was born in the general, he went into battle as a young man, and he has made countless contributions in his life, but he just got a general who returned to Germany from the third grade!"

"Like the hussar general from the first rank, the auxiliary general from the second rank, and the Zhenguo general from the second grade, which one is not surnamed Meng?"

"If it weren't for Empress Dowager Meng, how could the Meng family be able to achieve the position of a first-class and second-grade senior at the same time as holding military power?"

"Since the time of the first emperor, the dynasty has always given military generals high positions without great power, and given great power without high positions -- do you know that the price your uncle spent in the army to win over a five-rank civil official was greater than that of four five-rank civil officials?!"

"What is the weight of Sheng Shixiong, the most obvious point: after Meng Boheng and Qing drunk had an accident, the cars, horses, boats and boats that entered and exited Bishui County three days before and after, even if they had already left Bishui County for a while, were escorted back to Bishui County City for review!

"Are you thinking that the two sides can't think of them? It's just that first, it's just a group of juniors who have never been to Chang'an, and they are not murderers; second, they are still afraid of giving their opponents the opportunity to make a big fuss, so they contain each other, but they don't even give them a mouthful, so that they only know about it from Ningweihou's Mansion when they arrive in Chang'an!"

The old lady was a little excited when she said it, and waved her hand, "If you are free, read more books, and ask your father and your brothers for some useful things! Don't listen to the rhetoric that a woman outside is virtuous if she is not talented -- if you can't read and be courteous, what is the difference between you and a woman in the mountains and villages?!"

When Zhao Taoxiang heard this, she almost cried again, she had never believed in anything "a woman is virtuous if she is not talented", but she used to follow her brothers to study, and the gentleman invited by the family study was of course mainly men, and the goal was to stare at the title of the gold list. The Zhao family has been in the ranks for several generations, and they have taken the path of the imperial examination, and they have nothing to do with the army at all, how can she know these things that Mrs. Qin said?

"I knew that in the Danmo Building, I would let that little girl once!" Holding back tears and retiring, out of the back hall, Zhao Taoxiang thought regretfully, "So I won't quarrel with her sister, how can I be taught by my grandmother like this today?"

Thinking that after the Nan clan led people over tomorrow, he would have to compensate for it - he stomped his feet in the corridor for a while to vent before returning to the room.
