Chapter 140: Mutual Rivalry between Ancestors and Grandchildren (1)

Emperor Yongtai did not plant eyeliner everywhere in the harem, especially Ci'an Palace. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

He was always his grandmother, even if he never liked his grandmother, and he didn't want to be too ugly and too excessive.

What's more, he still knows the empress, although this old lady is a little eccentric, and she also has some means when she is young, but it is just a trick used by women in the house, and she is not interested in controlling the government.

At most, she has some selfishness, hoping that her mother's Zhongyong Marquis Mansion can be rich for a long time.

This is also human nature, as long as it does not touch his bottom line and does not affect the stability of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he will never take the initiative to pour cold water on the old lady.

You can even coax her, with her.

As soon as Lan Niang appeared in the imperial study, he guessed what had happened.

His queen was finally forced to be anxious and couldn't sit still, probably wanting to use the old lady's face to get some benefits for the evil obstacle.

Merely...... In other words, the king of a country, Chrysostom Yuyan, what is the matter with the change of the decree?

However, if you really want benefits, it's not impossible.

It depends on what the old lady is willing to give in exchange.

The Empress Dowager's accusation came directly, and Emperor Yongtai didn't want to go around the bend, so he smiled lightly: "Grandmother Huang refers to the fact that I gave the princes the title of king?"

Isn't that knowingly asking!

The Empress Dowager said patiently: "Emperor, when the princes are old, they have become married and fathers, and it is understandable to be crowned king according to the convention, and the mourning family is also supportive." But you can't...... You can't favor one over the other!

Brother Heng'er is the second and the second is a descendant, what will you make the courtiers think if you do this? And how will the people of the world think about it? How can the Pei family still have the face to continue to be in charge of the phoenix seal, and it is easy to chill the hearts of the important ministers. ”

Emperor Yongtai sneered: "Imperial grandmother, when the princes get married and become fathers, they will be crowned kings, and the Great Zhou Dynasty does not have this practice. ”

The Empress Dowager choked, this child has not been able to speak well since he was a child, and now he is even more ......

She continued to say patiently: "Regardless of whether there is a convention or not, anyway, you have also named your four sons as princes, and it is not suitable to just omit the second son, Brother Heng is still young, how will you let him gain a foothold in the next few decades?"

Emperor Yongtai said with a cold face: "Why didn't he think about how to gain a foothold when he made such a mistake? At best, he is pampered and arrogant, relying on my favor for many years, and doing whatever he wants;

The Empress Dowager's face was a little ugly and said: "Where is it so serious, the children's hearts are undecided, meet ...... It's inevitable that he can't hold it, and it's enough to punish him and make him suffer a little...... In the future, he will not commit it again, and you will give the mourning family a face. ”

Emperor Yongtai smiled warmly: "The imperial grandmother is still as kind as ever, and she is still as protective as before, but it's a pity that ...... It would be nice if the object of your kindness and protection was me. ”

This is a very unpleasant thing to say, although it is tactful enough, but it also directly refers to the partiality of the Empress Dowager, who never treats him as her own grandson.

It's just that he can't compare with the royal brothers and brothers in the past, and now he can't even compare with his son, which is really chilling.

The Empress Dowager's old face was a little red, but she had to admit that what Emperor Yongtai said was the truth.

When Emperor Xuande was still the crown prince, Emperor Yongtai's biological mother was just an inconspicuous concubine in the prince's mansion, and the Zhou family of her mother's family did not have a high status in the court.

And Yu Wenhao's biological mother, Emperor Xuande's Yuanhou Yin clan and the Su clan of Zhongyong Marquis Mansion are world friends.

Empress Yuan can be said to have grown up with the Empress Dowager, and she has had a good relationship with Emperor Xuande since childhood.

You must know that the Su family's generation also has concubines, and Gu Ge's wife, Su Shi, is also dignified and dignified, and she is fully qualified for the position of the crown princess.

However, the Empress Dowager disregarded the expectations of the family, and chose the Yin family when she gave up her own niece when choosing a concubine for the crown prince, which shows how much she loves the queen Yuan.

Yu Wenhao is the only son of the Empress Yuan, and it is reasonable for the Empress Dowager to love the house and Wu.

Because of Zhou's meritorious service in giving birth to a prince, Emperor Xuande canonized her as a virtuous concubine at the end of the four concubines after ascending the throne, which can be regarded as an unexpected joy for the Zhou family.

But although Concubine Zhou Xian has an indifferent temperament and does not like to compete, she is not a long-lived person, and she went not long after becoming a concubine, leaving only her young son to face all kinds of turmoil in the deep palace alone.

Emperor Yongtai knew that he couldn't compare with the crown prince since he was a child, he didn't dare to envy Yu Wenhao, and he couldn't even talk about jealousy.

He doesn't want to be favored like the crown prince and royal brother, he just wants to grow up safely in the rich and brilliant but extremely cold deep palace.

At most, when no one was there at night, he secretly thought that if he studied hard, would his father and grandmother rub his little head with their big hands like they did with other imperial brothers and brothers, and would they also let the palace people leave him a special snack.

It's a pity that none of these are available, not once.

In the entire harem, only his adoptive mother, Concubine Zhen, will think of him, but it is also because she has no children, but he has always kept this "maternal love" firmly in his heart.

The other is his cousin Yu Wenxi, who often enters the palace, she has no mother for a long time like him, but her temperament is diametrically opposed to him.

It was she who used her brightness and brilliance to dispel his indifference and gloom, so that he would not despair of life.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager was speechless, Emperor Yongtai suddenly felt bored.

It's been decades since things happened, is it interesting to bother with such a dying old lady?

He said in a deep voice: "Grandmother Huang doesn't need to say much, Heng'er is not righteous and does not cultivate his personal morality, and he should be punished." It is precisely because he is my descendant prince that he should be strict with himself and set an example for his imperial brothers, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, and the subjects of the world.

The title of king is an affirmation and praise for the princes, do you think he is worthy of being the prince of my Great Zhou Dynasty now? As for whether he is worthy of it in the future, it depends on his future performance. ”

Emperor Yongtai thought that as a father, he had done his best to do so, and did not kill his son who had made a serious mistake, and left him a glimmer of life.

But this is not the case in the ears of the Empress Dowager.

Emperor Yongtai kept saying that it was not customary for a prince to marry and crown a king, but throughout the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty for more than 100 years, there was no prince who did not have the title of prince.

Of course, except for Yu Wenhao, who was deposed as the crown prince.

In her opinion, Brother Heng'er's title of prince was taken for granted, but Emperor Yongtai agreed to be so unruly, and ......

Listening to the meaning of his words, no matter how good Brother Heng'er behaves in the future, the title of prince in this life will come to an end, and he will never be able to taint the position of the prince.

How can this be!

The old lady temporarily forgot about Yu Wenyi and Su Lin outside the clouds, and at this moment, she was only thinking about her great-grandson Yu Wenheng, who she valued the most over the years.

It's really inappropriate to make a mistake and directly canonize the prince, but you should give your child a chance to compete fairly, right?

The Empress Dowager couldn't help but think of the former crown prince Yu Wenhao, who was thousands of miles away.

That is the grandson she really loves in the palm of her hand, and she hasn't seen her for more than ten years.

She didn't know how long she could survive this old bone, and she didn't know if she would be able to see each other before she closed her eyes.

The Empress Dowager couldn't help but burst into tears, and whimpered: "How can a good child change as soon as he becomes the emperor, all of them are like this, with a warm and cold face, saying one thing and doing another, father and son are not like father and son, and brothers are not like brothers, so how can the mourning family have the face to meet their ancestors and ancestors in the future...... Woohoo......"
