On March 18 of the fourth year of Yongtai, it was the birthday of the first assistant Gu Ge Lao of the dynasty. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The birthday banquet was as lively as in previous years, and the Gu Mansion was still full of guests.

To everyone's surprise, Emperor Yongtai, who had not been to the courtiers' mansions for a long time, actually came to Gu Ge Lao's birthday banquet in person.

In addition to the emperor himself, the first queen and three concubines, as well as five adult princes and several princesses over ten years old also accompanied him.

Rao is master of the Gu Mansion and his subordinates have seen the world, and they can't help but be a little flattered and in a hurry.

Emperor Yongtai is contrary to the usual majesty and looks very amiable.

The guests felt more and more that today's gift was not in vain.

The emperor's attitude is the weather vane, it seems that the news that Gu Ge Lao may be a rumor, and he is still irreplaceable in His Majesty's heart.

After a few words of greeting with everyone, Emperor Yongtai went to the study with Gu Ge Lao.

The rest of the people, including the other elders who came to the banquet, as well as Gu Geel's sons, sons-in-law, grandsons, grandsons and others were only envious.

Yuan Zheng was naturally not able to accompany him, he looked at the back of His Majesty and his father-in-law leaving from afar, and he had a faint bad feeling in his heart.

Everyone in the world said that Gu Ge was His Majesty's mentor, and the relationship between the two was excellent.

Yuan Zheng knew very well that Emperor Yongtai's dissatisfaction with Gu Ge Lao had been piling up for more than twenty years.

What would they talk about in the study?

On the second day, a sudden holy gate exploded in the capital.

Since Emperor Yongtai was recalled to the capital by the first emperor as the king of Jin eight years ago, especially the day he became the crown prince, the marriage of several princes who were worried about by the noble ministers, as well as countless young girls and their mothers, finally fell into the dust.

However, when everyone heard clearly about His Majesty the Emperor's arrangements for the marriage of the princes, the officials were collectively stunned.

Their Emperor Majesty is really unbearable to play tricks.

In this way, the officialdom of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty seems to have been broken up and combined again.

His Majesty the Emperor sat firmly on the dragon chair, and it didn't take much effort to mess up all the layouts they had been making for years.

Especially the maiden families of the freshly baked several prospective princesses, it was completely messed up.

There is a great possibility that their own girl will become the princess, and they have been prepared for a long time, but who would have thought that His Majesty the Emperor would not play cards according to common sense at all.

But they couldn't find the words to refute it.

Over the years, they have been tossing for their own girl to be the princess, and now His Majesty the Emperor is finally willing to give marriage, fulfilling their ambitions and fulfilling their girl's girlish heart.

They don't dare, and they don't want to pick and choose.

But no one is a fool, they are all the sons of the emperor, and the difference between the prince and the prince is not just as simple as age and appearance.

Even if you climb into your in-laws with the emperor, it is difficult to settle in the end!

Those who didn't get selected were also busy.

Although you don't do anything, you can't be busy if you hug the wrong thigh?

Some are busy severing their old thighs and finding new thighs, while others don't know which thigh to hug like headless flies.

Everyone knows that this is not simply a marriage for the princes, and after the princes get married, the next step should be to establish a prince.

The people are not idle, so they have more to talk about after dinner, right?

It is taboo to openly talk about royal affairs, but in the end, it is also a matter of discussion.

Like the prince or something, you can't talk nonsense, but the marriage of the princes, especially after the marriage decree has been issued, no one has interfered with a few words.

Early in the morning of March 19, the decree of marriage had just been promulgated, and from noon onwards, the restaurants and teahouses were boiling.

"Brother, have you heard about Your Majesty's marriage to the five princes?"

"I heard a little about what people said, but I didn't listen to the truth, you tell me. ”

"The princess of the eldest prince is not small, she is the granddaughter of General Huo Da, the king of Dingbei. ”

"Is it Huo Wenyin, the daughter of the commander of the Xuanwu Battalion?"

"It's not the eldest lady. ”

"I heard that she is not going to be the third princess?"

"What use do you hear, Your Majesty said it. ”

"Is the second princess the sixth girl of the Su family, Shuhe, the county lord?"

"You don't have to guess, listen to me, the second princess is the youngest concubine of Dong Ge, and the third princess is the lord of Shuhe. ”

"What? When did Dong Ge's youngest concubine come out, didn't his concubine already get married?"

"Also, the lord of Shuhe and the third prince, where is this......

"Didn't you say it all, Your Majesty has the final say!"

"What about the four princesses, which girl is it?"

"Yuan Xiang, the eldest daughter of Lord Shangshu Yuan of the Ministry of Officials, the fifth princess is Gu Changhuan, the only granddaughter of Gu Ge Lao. ”

"You all whisper to me, the names of the princesses-to-be are what you can do nonsense!"

"That's boring......

The news of the people is not wrong at all, this is Emperor Yongtai's arrangement for the marriage of the five princes.

They only missed one sentence, in addition to the five princes and concubines, His Majesty the Emperor seemed to be in order to appease the Empress Dowager, and gave a special favor to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion.

In addition to marrying the sixth girl of Shuhe County and the third prince as the main concubine, she also gave the fifth girl of Su Wan to the second prince as a side concubine.

People who don't know the truth can't help but sigh, sure enough, the prince is different, the other princes are just a concubine, and the two princes are good things in pairs.

But in fact?

As soon as the marriage decree was given, the atmosphere in the harem changed.

Ecstasy, triumphant, disappointed, grieved, and wanting to kill......

Ecstasy is naturally Concubine De's mother and son.

Concubine De's background is not high, and her mother's family is just an imperial businessman.

The eldest prince Kong Wu was powerful, and Emperor Yongtai made a conclusion to him when he was ten years old.

-- He will be a fierce general in the future.

From then on, Concubine De seemed to have extinguished her mind of being the queen mother.

The competition for favor is not so active, I just look forward to finding a daughter-in-law with a noble and gentle family background in the future, so that my son's house will have more book aroma, and give her a few more elegant royal grandchildren.

The eldest prince has always been unconvinced in his heart, no matter what, he is the eldest son of his father, why did he watch the throne fall to his younger brothers?

But since Emperor Yongtai ascended the throne, the second prince, the third prince, and even the fourth prince and the thin fifth prince, their princesses seem to have satisfactory candidates.

Only he, the eldest son of the emperor, seems to have been forgotten by the noble and high-ranking officials in Beijing.

The mother and son never thought that Emperor Yongtai would let Huo Wenyin, the only granddaughter of General Huo, be the princess.

This decree is like pie in the sky.

Concubine De's heart of the queen mother has come alive again, and the eldest prince is more confident.

With the strong support of the Yue family, by the way, you can also be angry with the third child, there is nothing more beautiful in the world.

Like their mother and son, the five princes at this time were very proud.

He doesn't like Gu Changhuan, who has a lively personality, but who let Gu Changhuan have a grandfather who is the first assistant of the cabinet?

Moreover, he is already very smart, he is extremely talented in reading, and after marrying Gu Changhuan, it is not too easy to please Gu Ge Lao.

Therefore, for the five princes, this holy decree is also a big pie. (To be continued.) )
