Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Discussion of Montess
And when Rong Sleeping Crane and Sheng Weiqiao were having dinner here, they were also discussing this issue: "Although Your Majesty did not give a definite answer today, it is obvious that the Shu sisters are already working on finalizing your succession." β
Sheng Weiqiao swallowed a spoonful of soup and said worriedly, "You said before that you didn't want to be their heirs, but judging from the grandeur of these sisters in front of the Queen Mother today...... If they refuse, ten percent will offend them!"
Originally, nowadays people who are particular about people have the rules of eating and sleeping silently, but Rong Sleeping Crane was born as a bandit, so naturally there is nothing to pay attention to; Sheng Weiqiao is of course an authentic lady, but because she is too favored, the family does not pay much attention to her rules, and Sheng Lanci has always been busy, and it is rare to accompany his wife and daughter to have a meal, so it is naturally impossible to be silent, and he must be to ask for warmth and persuade this and that.
So the newlyweds didn't think there was anything wrong with talking about things during the meal.
"How could I refuse?" At this time, Rong Mianhe just laughed when he heard this, peeled a big shrimp for her with his own hands, and watched her eat it obediently, before he was in a good mood to explain, "You also saw it, Zhaoyi just mentioned something, and the Queen Mother stopped her in a hurry." Now that the news comes out, whether it is the Meng family's side or our good father, they must be gathering their staff at this moment and racking their brains to discuss countermeasures!"
"The so-called two fists are hard to beat four hands, although the Shu sisters are very favored, they want to succeed me under the obstruction of so many people, but it is not so easy!"
Sheng Weiqiao looked at his calm appearance and said disapprovingly: "You can't take it lightly just because you know that someone will stop this for you! Don't forget that even the Queen Mother can't argue with the Shu sisters in front of His Majesty, neither the father nor the Meng family, and they don't dare to completely offend the two sisters...... Maybe they finally withstood the pressure and persuaded His Majesty to make a decree to fulfill the matter?
Rong Sleeping Crane smiled and sandwiched a chopping spicy bamboo shoot tip for her before saying, "Good girl, you never thought that Your Majesty has always doted on the Shu sisters, why didn't you make a clear statement in front of the Queen Mother today?"
"Is the Queen Mother the biological mother of His Majesty......" Sheng Weiqiao was interrupted by him with a smile before he finished speaking: "If Your Majesty regards the biological mother as more important than Er Shu, can Er Shu still be so flamboyant in Xinshou Palace?"
Sheng Weiqiao frowned and said, "What do you mean......?"
"It should be that the Shu sisters have already told Your Majesty that Your Majesty should not make a clear statement in Xinshou Palace today!" Rong Sleeping Crane said calmly, "Look at it, at this time, the strategists of the Gaomi Royal Mansion and the Meng Clan must be discussing how to get me out of Chang'an!"
He looked at his princess with a smile, "The so-called husband sings with the woman, obediently, in this prosperous Chang'an City, we won't stay for long." If you feel sorry, hurry up and make a list, write down the places you want to go, I'm good to take you to play and eat a few more times before you set off, after you miss it, I'm afraid that after a few days, we can come back!"
Sheng Weiqiao didn't have the heart to think about those things to eat at this time, and said suspiciously: "You mean, the strategists from the palace and the Meng clan will join forces to separate you because the Shu sisters have made it clear that they want to pass you to their knees?"
"Where else can he go?" At this moment, in the Zheng Guogong Mansion, Marquis Wu Anzheng sneered to himself, "The thoughts of those two sluts are clear at a glance, don't you also expect that kid to take over some military power, and when he really succeeds to the prince in the future, it won't be abandoned because His Majesty dies on the front foot and he is on the back foot because he has no foundation?!"
Cheng Yanghou frowned and said: "In the army! If that kid is just a so-called champion lang, it is okay to send him to the army, and when the time comes, not to mention other means, a single burden can hold him! But he just married the county lord of Kangzhao, the dowry of the county lord is enough to raise a large army, if there is the support of King Gaomi, this time in the army, I am afraid that there will really be something to do?"
"Don't let him go to the army, send him to other places, how can those two sluts agree?" Wu Anhou sighed, "The reason why those two sluts clearly proposed the matter of succession, but let His Majesty not express his position in public, is to prevent that kid from being established as a prince, let's take the status of the prince as a precious one, and not leave the imperial capital lightly, to prevent that kid from contacting military power!"
"Now that the rumors have come out, everyone knows that the two sluts are fancy to the King of Mizhen County as their heirs, even though His Majesty did not nod, he did not say anything against it, and praised the King of Mizhen County...... In this way, after he left Chang'an and entered the army, how could those opportunistic people not be moved?!"
Cheng Yanghou was upset when he heard this, and said: "Then let him go! No matter how favored the Shu family is, the real hands and eyes are just a mere palace concubine! What kind of thing is the Shu family behind them? As long as the king of Mizhen County dares to leave Chang'an, maybe he will encounter some bandits or the like, and hack him and his newlywed princess to death? At that time, I want to see what kind of flowers and flowers can those two sluts pick out to be their heirs?!"
"If it weren't for King Gaomi, we could have sent the dead to do so. Wu Anhou shook his head and said, "But King Gaomi has been fighting with us for so many years, and we know each other well, do you think he will give us such an opportunity?"
"Didn't you say that the kid had a bad relationship with King Gaomi?" Cheng Yanghou smashed his mouth, thought for a while, and said, "The time I did it in the court before, after that kid went back, it was said that he was reprimanded by King Gaomi, and for this reason, he also ran to the Shu's slut to complain, and the King of Gaomi was disgraced?"
Wu Anhou said: "Third brother, you are also naΓ―ve! Not to mention that King Gaomi has a total of three sons under his knees, if the second son is abandoned, except for the son, this lost and regained young son, think about it yourself, if you are King Gaomi, can you not hurt him? Even if this son is a little unruly, beating, scolding, scolding, is it difficult to think that he still doesn't care whether he lives or dies?"
"Especially this son is much stronger than the son of the world in terms of talent and appearance, if we want to have such a child in our family, let alone a biological son, even if it is a nephew, can we try to pave the way for him?"
"Moreover, everyone knows that Shu's slut has no children under her knees, and she can only pass on her heirs if she can't say that she has no choice but to have a step-heir. β
"It's normal for this person to always want his step-children to be close to him, and don't always worry about his biological parents!"
"You think it's only been a few days since King Mizhen returned, why did the Shu sisters pick and choose for so many years, and they decided to want him? Not to mention other reasons, the boiling father-son discord between him and King Gaomi must also be one of the reasons that prompted the Shu sisters to make up their minds!"
"So how can you expect King Gaomi to care about that kid's life or death?!"
"When the time comes, it's just a group of dead soldiers who fold in for nothing!"
Chengyang Hou muttered: "If we don't do it, what about sowing discord? For example, the prince of Gaomi, the son of the world is so mediocre, if it weren't for the fact that King Gaomi did not have many concubines, and the concubine died in the 'epidemic' of that year, it is really hard to say whether he can sit firmly on the throne of the prince for so many years." If Mizhen grows stronger, it will not be a good thing for him! Although this man does not have much ability, his father-in-law, Qi Jianxun, is not a fuel-efficient lamp!"
Wu Anhou said: "It is precisely because Qi Jianxun is not stupid, so he will definitely not target the King of Mizhen County at this time, after all, we are still here, how can Qi Jianxun be willing to blatantly do things against the nest? At most, he will mention his daughter and son-in-law, and serve King Gaomi and the princess well...... In this regard, the princess of Gaomi has a great advantage over the new princess of Mizhen County, after all, the Qi family is well-known in Chang'an City for her virtuous and filial piety, and the princess of Mizhen County is an out-and-out Miss Jiao according to the observation of the girl under our knees. β
"It's just that the mother's family and the king of Mizhen County are very favored, and the king and wife of Gaomi don't say it, how can they not distinguish between these two daughters-in-law in their hearts?"
ββ¦β¦ What do you say you want to do, second brother?" Cheng Yanghou was a little anxious, "Is it just the way to fulfill the wishes of the slut of the Shu family?!
"Mi Zhen returned from Nanfeng County a few days ago, didn't he bring a nest of bandits, saying that he saved Yichun Hou, and seeing that their hearts were towards the imperial court, he made the decision to recruit An?" Wu Anhou said hesitantly, "In that case, let's send him to recruit the bandits of the Seven Seas! This is the completion of the great cause that General Zhou has not completed in the past, and it is not an insult to him, those bandits have been doing the business of raising their heads all day long, and after they go ashore, it is difficult to expect them to farm honestly?
Cheng Yanghou couldn't see anything good about this idea: "The people we sent to Nanfeng County before have found out about the rich families in Nanfeng County, and they are probably in contact with the bandits. What did that nest of bandits say that they happened to save Yichunhou, what really happened Who knows? We should grasp this point at this time to get to the bottom of it, once the boat is pushed down the river and Mizhen takes over the matter of Zhao'an...... What if he really puts those bandits together with a big army?!"
"How can you get to the bottom of the matter without evidence?" Wu Anhou shook his head, "Don't forget that Mi Zhen not only has King Gaomi behind her at this time, but also the pillow wind of the Shu family's slut to help." The slut of the Shu family is just a woman, and Mizhen is also young, but King Gaomi is not, since he dares to let Mizhen directly bring that nest of bandits to Chang'an, it is obviously good to be good, and we can't catch it. It's pointless to get to the bottom of this matter, it's just a waste of time and energy, so it's better to ask Mi Zhen to recruit An...... The bandits are so easy to subdue?!"
Cheng Yanghou was still worried: "What if, although that kid is young, he almost won six yuan at a young age, this kind of qualification is not comparable to ordinary people!"
"When he was asked to go to Zhao'an, he added one article: If the seven seas are not appeased, he must not go elsewhere. Zheng Guogong, who had not spoken, slowly spoke at this time, "It's just a trip." Our current enemy, in the final analysis, is still the King of Gaomi. β
Cheng Yanghou subconsciously said: "What if he can really calm the Seven Seas? After all, there are not as many bandits on the sea as General Zhou when he was in the pure sea, and his strength is far inferior!"
"Third brother, you are so honest. Zheng Guogong sighed when he heard this, and Wu Anhou couldn't help but laugh and said, "What are those dead soldiers that we are raising for? If the King of Mizhen County can really take a nest of real pirates, can't we get him a few examples of wildfires that can't be burned and the spring breeze blows and grows again?!"
"The most important thing now is to let the side concubine give birth to a male heir. Seeing that the second brother had solved the confusion for the third brother, Zheng Guogong stroked his long beard and said concentratingly, "Your Majesty is old, and the matter of the prince cannot be delayed...... You take care of the Guangling Palace, if you can't do it, transfer the two doctors over to make up for the Guangling King!"
What does this so-called "replenishing the body" mean, Wu Anhou and Chengyang Hou both knew it in their hearts, and after hearing the words, Cheng Yanghou proposed again: "Big brother, second brother, Shu's slut is not a believer! Even if we can drag Mizhen in the Seven Seas so that she has no time to take care of anything else, but if Shu's slut has to recall people, ...... Your Majesty's side?"
Zheng Guogong just snorted at this: "At this time, the Shu family wants to separate people, let's rely on them, and we have to call back when we turn around...... Then people will be able to come back on their own!"
Seeing that the Marquis of Chengyang was still thoughtful, he said, "Why do you want to send Mi Zhen to recruit the Anhai bandits? Because the soldiers under the command of King Gaomi are all in the northern frontier, and when they get to the sea, they can't take care of his son, and what won't happen on the vast sea?"
Chengyanghou suddenly realized that the assassination still had to be assassinated, but the location was changed from land to sea.
He thought about it for a while, suddenly thought of something, and blurted out, "By the way, eldest brother and second brother, since the slut of the Shu family does not let His Majesty nod, lest it will be difficult to leave Chang'an after Mizhen becomes the prince...... Then why don't we do the opposite, and simply let Mi Zhen be the prince? In this way, he bears the name of a prince, but it is not good for him to go out in person to seek military power. It's the forbidden army here in Chang'an, the sailor is already in the hands of Guiyu, and we have also won over other forbidden troops, and there are not many people who really want to go to the clan, so in the future, Your Majesty will die, and that kid won't let us pinch and rub the round?"
As soon as the words fell, I saw that Zheng Guogong and Wu Anhou were both looking at him speechlessly: "No matter how young Mi Zhen is, as you just said, he is a talented man who almost won six yuan in a row! If he has the title of the prince, do you think he will sit back and wait for His Majesty to die? That must be with the support of King Gaomi to try to weaken us...... Or deal with us in the name of righteousness! When the time comes, it will be the people we have already wooed, including the forbidden army, who will continue to follow us into danger when they see that the dynasty has a prince who is justified and talented? Why don't you simply sell us and go to the prince and live a life with the boat? So how can you let him really be the prince? !
The forbidden army has been operated by the Rong clan for several generations, and has set up countless tricks to ensure that the places loyal to the emperor have been touched by the Meng clan and the Gaomi king, this is not how clever they are, in the final analysis, it is not because Emperor Xuanjing has no queen, these people are worried that the Gaomi King and the Meng clan will settle old accounts after winning in the future, so they have to stand in line?
If Emperor Xuanjing has an heir, he is still the kind of heir who can't be a puppet, why should they follow King Gaomi or the Meng clan to risk the Nine Clans?
If it weren't for this, wouldn't the Queen Mother be like a great enemy when she heard the Shu sisters mention the matter of Jirong Sleeping Crane?
Cheng Yanghou smiled awkwardly when he heard this: "I'm really confused...... Fortunately, there are two brothers in charge of major matters. β
Zheng Guogong and Wu Anhou also knew that this brother was indeed not good at planning, so they nodded when they heard the words, and continued to get down to business: "The queen's side doesn't seem to be quite right lately, so let the girls in the family pay attention!"
