Chapter 210

That's right, the reason why Shen Zhaolin attacked Shen Xi was because he wanted to stand in line in a hurry. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Shen Zhaolin has always considered himself an extremely ambitious person.

He was born smart since he was a child, although he was born in a noble family, but he was not like other noble sons who were destined not to attack the knighthood, only looking for teasing chickens and dogs all day long, but at a young age, he was able to calm down to read and learn calligraphy, and he planned another path for himself early that could also get ahead.

Although the younger brother of Xungui almost did not take the road of the imperial examination, this does not mean that he cannot take this road, does it?

This is Shen Zhaolin's thoughts.

In his vision, he would rely on the imperial examination to enter the eyes of the emperor in the palace, and then show what he had learned, and become an existence that he could stand side by side with his brother even if he became a knight in the future.

In the years when he was immersed in hard study, Shen Zhaolin was supported by such a prospect.

With such a belief, Shen Zhaolin is of course different from other gentlemen.

He became famous when he was young, and he can be called both civil and military, and he was also a teenager who was promoted to the court.

Of course, because he is the son of the Chengguo Mansion, even if he is promoted, in the eyes of others, it is just for him to have fun.

What others think, Shen Zhaolin naturally can't care.

He just waits, in the future, he will be able to be named on the gold list, and naturally no one will take him on this road as a joke.

It's just that Shen Zhaolin couldn't wait for the day when everyone looked at him differently.

Just in the year when he decided to participate in the Spring Festival, he crossed the New Year's pass, and a decree of Emperor Qiande made Shen Zhaolin fall into an ice cellar.

It was a decree of marriage.

Emperor Qiande gave his niece, Mu Zong's granddaughter, and the daughter of King Duan, who died in his early years, the lord of Anyang County, to Shen Zhaolin, who was both talented and beautiful.

Although the county lord of Anyang is only the county lord, but the life since childhood is not worse than that of the princess, since the death of Duan Wangxue, both Emperor Qiande and Queen Hua only treat the county lord of Anyang as their own daughter, even if the real princess is wronged, they will never let the county lord of Anyang be wronged.

It was to choose a husband for the lord of Anyang, and it was Emperor Qiande and Empress Hua who considered it for a long time before finally choosing Shen Zhaolin, who was both civil and military and dignified.

This actually shows how optimistic Emperor Qiande and Empress Hua are about Shen Zhaolin.

After all, no matter what it is, the emperor and queen have always been unable to tolerate any grievances from the county lord of Anyang, but this is a fact.

If it weren't for the fact that Shen Zhaolin could indeed be regarded as amazingly talented, how could he be chosen by the emperor and queen to be the husband of the county lord of Anyang?

It's just that this is not what Shen Zhaolin wants.

For Shen Zhaolin, in his life plan, he should first be admitted to the Jinshi, and then rely on his ability to get the attention of Emperor Qiande little by little, and in the future, he may be able to walk out of a different path in the officialdom than his eldest brother who can attack the lord.

But......

In any case, he never thought that he would one day marry a royal lord.

And he is also the county lord of Anyang.

The etiquette system of the Great Liang Dynasty, the man of the lord is not allowed to participate in the government politics, if Shen Zhaolin marries an ordinary county lord, it is okay, after all, he is only the county lord and not the princess, but it is the county lord of Anyang.

Shen Zhaolin was born in the Chengguo Mansion, so he naturally knew more about the affairs in the palace than others.

Don't look at the emperor and queen have always loved the county lord of Anyang more than the princess they produced, but this does not mean that the emperor is defenseless against the county lord of Anyang, after all, the county lord of Anyang, she is the only descendant of Mu Zong's lineage, and she is really the person with the most orthodox royal blood.

Not to mention, in Liaocheng, there are still so many people who are grateful for Mu Zong's kindness are firmly watching the movements of the capital.

How can any man who marries the lord of Anyang really gain the trust of Emperor Qiande?

For Shen Zhaolin, this is tantamount to a disaster.

Even so, the holy decree has been issued, but Shen Zhaolin has no possibility of resisting.

He received the decree and married the county lord of Anyang, and as he himself expected, he could only be a rich and noble idler from now on, and he could no longer take a step towards the center of power.

It's been a long time like this, how can Shen Zhaolin suppress the unwillingness in his heart?

Therefore, after having such a dewy relationship with Chunjiao who came out of the Qinglou, he felt like a beast in his heart, not only raising Chunjiao outside, but also gradually having other plans.

If raising Chunjiao can make Shen Zhaolin have the illusion in his heart that he will trample on the Anyang County Lord, who symbolizes the imperial power in his heart, then when this illusion lasts for a long time, Shen Zhaolin's unwillingness in his heart prompted him to do something else.

This brings us to the situation in the palace today.

Today's Emperor Jingtai is forty-five years old this year, although he has passed the age of confusion, but Emperor Jingtai is in the prime of life, and he thinks that he can sit firmly on the dragon chair for at least 20 years.

With such self-confidence, Emperor Jingtai is of course not in a hurry to establish a prince, he has time to slowly examine the hearts of his sons, and then choose one among them that he thinks is the most suitable, after which he still has enough time to cultivate his son.

Emperor Jingtai had several princes under his knees, and the most likely to win the throne was the eldest son of Empress Jiang and the second prince of Luo Guifei.

The eldest son of the emperor occupied the word "chief", according to the rules of the Liang Dynasty, he should have been established as the prince early, but it was only because Emperor Jingtai deliberately dragged it that he has not been able to do so.

As for the second prince......

Neither grandson nor long, but compared to the gentle eldest son of the emperor, the performance of the second prince is undoubtedly much brighter, since he was a child, he has been extremely smart and studious, and as long as he has taught the second prince for a few days, he will always praise the second prince in front of Emperor Jingtai for his sensitivity and studiousness.

Even, there are many people who cherish talents, and they feel in their hearts that if they really want to talk about it, the second prince is only afraid that he will be more worthy of the big responsibility than the eldest prince, but he is tired of his background.

This can be seen from the fact that Emperor Jingtai obviously has the eldest son of the emperor, but he has been dragging the unestablished prince.

Shen Zhaolin is one of those who has this kind of thought.

Ever since the ambition that he had forcibly suppressed began to beat faintly again, Shen Zhaolin had been thinking about how he could get out of this strange circle that he had fallen into because of a decree to give marriage, so as to gain the trust of the nobles in the palace.

After thinking about it, he finally thought of the second prince.

Although the second prince also has some down-to-earth supporters, in this world, there are mostly conservative people, and more than half of the people in the court still tend to support the eldest son of the emperor, who is the eldest son.
