CHAPTER XLIV

This year was spent in the excitement of watching Rongguo Mansion, although Xia Liansheng always wanted to take Daiyu and them out to play, but Lin Ruhai considered that Daiyu and Huiyu were still keeping filial piety, so they had to temporarily suspend this activity. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Lin Ruhai didn't let the three little ones go out for the time being.

There is another reason, that is, the court has become more and more unstable recently, and even Lin Ruhai, an inconspicuous second-class petty official - is already a petty official for the princes - is inevitably affected, and for the safety of his children, Lin Ruhai simply did not let them go out. Some time ago, because the emperor loved the eighth elder brother, the eighth elder brother and the previous brothers were given titles except for the crown prince, the eldest became a straight prince, and the third to the eighth were crowned Baylor, and several elder brothers were all sent by the emperor to the six ministries to watch the government, and they were also allowed to listen to the court. Even the fifth elder brother has made great progress in the Chinese language recently - although it is mainly about this aspect, but the emperor is also very pleased to be able to communicate smoothly with others - Chun Gege has made great contributions, so the fifth elder brother was allowed to build a mansion and leave the palace, and Chun Gege was also pardoned, and he could go to the fifth elder brother's mansion to scatter his heart (shua) without anything. This knighthood brought another big shock wave to the already somewhat turbulent court.

Although the elder brothers were ordered not to abuse their power in the Six Ministries, nor were they allowed to speak casually in the court, they could only hand over the emperor if they had something, but they still put great pressure on the prince. For the crown prince, there was only one rival in the first place, who was thrown into the army by the emperor to train and made some achievements, and there were already a large number of talents around him to oppose him. Now that so many younger brothers are pouring out all at once to compete for power with him, Huang Ama is simply too much! The crown prince felt that Huang Ama no longer loved him, he had been suspecting that he was fighting with him for power, but he didn't look at how much power he gave his brothers and brothers, they could all take over their own people, and only himself, as the prince, as long as he was a little closer to his uncle, he said that he had bad intentions, and recently he even got rid of his uncle's position, so partial!

The crown prince suddenly became more irritable, and because of the double-faced and three-faced swords of the Rongguo Mansion before, and the Xia Governor's private arrangement of women to the emperor, he began to doubt the people under him, doubting whether this person was really sincere to him, and the first to bear the brunt was his good brother Fourth Elder Brother. Because the fourth elder brother is also the prince, it is possible to fight with him for inheritance rights in the future, so when he found out that the relationship between the thirteenth elder brother and his fourth brother had surpassed his second brother, the prince began to stumble on the fourth elder brother, but it was also a small matter.

When the crown prince heard that the emperor had lost his temper again, he was not in a good mood. The palace people who served in the Yuqing Palace were careful not to anger the prince, and the prince was stunned in his study for a long time, and finally turned into a sigh and whispered to the palace people: "Call someone to pass on the lonely uncle." ”

The prince's uncle is the younger brother of the same mother of Empress Chunyuan, after the queen lost the crown prince because of the birth of the prince, the emperor deliberately let the prince be closer to his uncle in order to have enough backing for the prince, and has always promoted the prince's uncle. But people's hearts are always insufficient, and time has gradually passed, and the prince's uncle has become accustomed to the days of privilege, thinking that sooner or later the world will be his nephew's, so under the banner of the prince, the party is the same and wantonly buys people's hearts in the court. In order to balance, the emperor deliberately supported the Nalan clan behind the eldest brother, ostensibly to balance the court, but in fact, he hoped that the prince could see his uncle's selfishness through Nalan's hand. Unexpectedly, the prince believed what his uncle said, and mistakenly thought that the emperor was not pleasing to the prince, so he supported the eldest brother, and even wanted to replace him. And now, he thinks that the emperor favors Concubine Zhen and Eighth Elder Brother and treats the Zhen family well, and is also looking for the next person who can succeed to the throne.

This time the eighth prince's favor made the crown prince feel threatened, he didn't want the eighth prince to become the next big brother, and if he was supported, he would no longer be able to let him fall, so he called his uncle to discuss whether there was a solution.

The prince's uncle soon came to the Yuqing Palace, and the prince told him about his concerns.

"Uncle, can you do it?" The prince circled anxiously in the study.

"This, the old man thinks that if you want the Zhen family to stand up like the Nalan family, you should start with their family. Fortunately, the Zhen family is troubled and has a lot of pigtails, and tomorrow the old man will arrange for the royal history to play it. Let's see the emperor's reaction first. Master Hesheri thought for a moment and said.

"Okay, let's see what kind of attitude Huang Ama has first." The prince said, "I'll leave everything to my uncle." By the way, did my uncle notice that the little palace maid that Huang Ama always brought with him recently? It seems to have been sent by Concubine Hui, and it looks pretty good. ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Rong Laochen said something, which woman in this world is not good, you always have to watch..."

"Hmph, Huang Ama always robs women with Lonely, and Cao Wanying's incident last time was also..."

"The prince is cautious! Since Cao Guiren had fornicated with the guards, the harem could not tolerate her. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should think more about his great cause. ”

......

The next morning, the imperial history of the good on the fold, the Zhen family in the south of the Yangtze River monopoly, privately withheld the tax silver, recently with the new salt patrol Yu Shi eyebrows, there is a suspicion of privately intercepting the salt tax silver.

Of course, the Jiangnan officials supported by the Zhen family in the court would not let anyone say that the Zhen family was wrong, so they stood up and said that Lord Zhushan and the Zhen family had a disagreement, and they should not declare a personal vendetta, so slandering a loyal court member should not be cloudy. The two parties came and went back and forth to defend themselves, and many adults also participated, and even some of the connections of the eldest brother also took the opportunity to get involved, pulling things around, intending to muddy the waters.

The emperor was noisy by a group of adults, he has been more fond of Concubine Zhen recently, and because he has recently begun to pay attention to a palace maid summoned by Concubine Hui, he is a little far away from Concubine Zhen, in order to appease her, the court cannot let the Zhen family be so criticized. So the emperor made a decision and allowed Zhen Yingjia to write a self-defense. As soon as this remark came out, everyone knew that the emperor still trusted Zhen Yingjia, and the so-called self-defense was just a process, without even checking, and leaking the news in advance, not to let him erase the clues. Today's episode, the crown prince family did not get benefits, but let more people see the emperor's favor for the Zhen family clearly.
