155 Chapter 155
Emperor Yongping's words not only stunned Mao Shilang, but also stunned the people of King Zhou's family. There are only some old old-fashioned people who were used by King Zhou, and they reacted very quickly at this time, and seven or eight people came out at once, and said emotionally: Sage, there is no need to discuss it at all, we have no opinion, let's do it according to your ideas.
The Ministry of Rites is nearly seventy years old, and he is particularly happy to confess to the emperor, "The meaning of the saint is the intention of the ministers, and it is also the intention of the kings." The day before yesterday, the king of Zhou invited his ministers and others to jointly play, asking the eldest son of the crown prince to be the emperor's grandson, and the ministers were still hesitant. No, the saint already has this heart, and I think that the prince knows the saint's mind. โ
As soon as the old man confessed, King Zhou was almost scared to death, he didn't dare to look into the emperor's eyes at all. His mind turned white, and he only thought about what to say in order to dispel his father's suspicions. I can't say it, so I can only grit my teeth and refuse to admit it. Damn, what did his brother-in-law do, and why did the Ministry of Rites know that he invited someone to co-sign?
These few people who have just come out for reconsideration have spoken to testify to the Ministry of Rites, "The ministers have also been invited by His Royal Highness King Zhou. โ
If there is only the Ministry of Rites, it would be good to say, plus these ...... King Zhou's mouth was bitter, and he knelt down without saying a word, and after "Father ......" spit out two words, he couldn't continue, what should I say?
The old emperor didn't look at the kneeling King Zhou, only waved his hand to let the few return first, and asked the prime ministers with a smile: "What do you think of the ministers?" โ
Zhongshuling has a good relationship with Su Chengzhou, so he is naturally on the side of the prince, and he is happy to see the emperor seal the emperor's grandson, making the prince's position more stable, "With His Royal Highness the prince in front, it doesn't make much sense to canonize the prince's grandson." However, if the saint insists on being sealed, the minister has no opinion. Shen Congzhi was cunning and cunning, and in a few words, it was determined that it was the emperor who insisted on being crowned the emperor's grandson, not the king of Zhou who invited the ministers to join forces.
Zhongshu ordered Shen Congzhi to vote for participation, Su Zhoucheng smiled, and owed to Emperor Yongping, "The minister has no objection." "As the grandfather of the emperor's grandson, he really can't say too much at this time.
The old emperor was unhappy and severely reprimanded: "Ah Zhu is such a lovely child, as a grandfather, why can't you even say a nice word?" โ
Su Zhoucheng replied respectfully: "With the saint Zhuyu in front, the minister is clumsy. โ
The old emperor was very proud, "That is, I can see Ah Zhu every day, how many times have you only seen it?" โ
Su Zhoucheng: ...... He wanted to hit someone.
As Shen Congzhi said, most of the courtiers in the court thought that there was already a prince in the court, and it would be good to set up an imperial grandson or something to be happy with the emperor. Of course, there are also those who don't want to establish the emperor's grandson, and the Du Shilang from the Du family is one of them.
Although the Du family is the prince's mother, the relationship between them and the prince is not close. The old emperor, who has a strong desire for monopoly, always keeps his son firmly by his side and does not allow others to get too close.
As the crown prince grew up, his attitude towards the Du family was neither cold nor hot, no different from other courtiers. The Du family has a slight complaint about this, especially Du Shilang. He has good ambition and ability, and unlike the rest of the Du family, he doesn't expect the prince's position to be too secure. If the prince's position is stable, he will be content with the status quo, and the most powerful will always be the Su family.
If the crown prince is attacked by other princes, he will naturally seek an alliance, and what alliance is more secure than his own mother. He will also become the most powerful right hand by the prince's side, and the future Zhongshu Ling will be able to show his ambitions.
Du Shilang thought very well, but unfortunately the emperor's father and son did not want to perform according to his script. The emperor passed several years of testing the crown prince and decided that his son had grown up enough to be a wise monarch. Since he has a successor, in order to prevent the courtiers from being involved in unintentional state affairs in the battle for the throne, the old emperor's situation is still under control, so he decisively stopped it, and gave the prince a peace of mind.
Although the canonization of the emperor's grandson has been decided, there is still a long time before the final canonization ceremony.
As for King Zhou, until the end of the court meeting that day, the old emperor didn't call him up, but he didn't see such a person as him.
At the end of the court meeting, the courtiers dispersed, and when the king of Zhou was more and more desperate, Jia Xi came with the emperor's message, "The sage has an order, and the king of Zhou will return to the house to study behind closed doors, and if there is nothing important, there is no need to go out." โ
This is tantamount to a disguised captivity, King Zhou's heart is dead, and he only feels that his ambitions are empty at this moment. He whispered a thank you, and got up like a ghost and floated out of the hall.
Jia Xi stretched out his hand to stop him, "Lord Wang, the sage asked our family to give you a message, 'When will you give birth to a son, when will you be free to give birth to the master.'" โโ
King Zhou was stunned for a moment, and his eyes lit up with a glimmer of hope, did his father completely dislike him? There are four women in his house who are pregnant, no matter how much they carry it, they can produce a son!
Jia Xi saluted respectfully to King Zhou, turned around and left silently.
King Zhou guessed right, although the old emperor was angry with his son, he did not dislike King Zhou. For him, it's normal for a prince to be a little ambitious. What man in this world doesn't want to be an emperor? It's just that this method is too rough, and he obviously wants to use the courtiers to stumble on the prince, but the prince gives him an army. I'm afraid that his third son hasn't figured out where he lost.
Since the old emperor didn't hate his ambitious son, and wanted to teach him a lesson, he set a punishment that was not big or small, and set a condition that he thought was very good to meet (if he had a son, he would lift the ban or something), and he felt that he was simply great. He had an idea with King Zhou, if he has four little wives who are pregnant, he can give birth to a son anyway. In this way, King Zhou will be locked up at home for more than ten months to study and give birth to a baby, which can be regarded as a long memory for him โกโก.
After solving this matter, the old emperor was in the mood to go to see his grandson again, "Jia Xi, let's go to the East Palace to see the little grandson." โ
Jia Xi came in with a bitter face: "Sage, a few ministers ask to see." โ
"Isn't there not much political affairs today?" The emperor also had a bitter face, and waved his hand weakly, "Please come in." "Hey, he misses his little grandson.
The little doll, who was deeply missed by the emperor, had just eaten a beautiful meal, and was lying in her mother's soft arms at the moment, with bright black eyes and happy little hands and feet.
Su Yan touched his son's little hands and feet with a nest in a good mood, and said briskly: "We are really in good spirits today, is it because Daddy is here?" โ
The crown prince was telling Su Yan about King Zhou being locked up in the palace by the emperor to study and have a baby, as a joke. Miss Su asked a little worriedly when she heard this: "If King Zhou is unlucky and has no son, won't he have to be locked up all the time?" "It's unlikely, but it's not impossible.
The prince laughed, "I don't think I can carry it like this, right?" Although he said so, he secretly snorted coldly in his heart, he might just be so old, give birth to a daughter, and then be locked up by Daddy for the rest of his life. By the way, I heard that King Zhou secretly invited Zun to send his son Guanyin back to the palace, and let his princess Zhou and his concubines go to incense and worship every day. "I think that at the beginning, Daddy took him to ask for a son, but he was not happy, this time he took the initiative to beg.
"Shouldn't King Zhou go to worship by himself?" Su Yan remembered that the old emperor took a group of sons to visit the son and ask for a child, and couldn't help but hide his lips and chuckle. "If you can't worship alone, you have to eat some dates and chestnuts every day." What a good meaning it means to stand up early.
Miss Su is purely a young couple talking casually in the boudoir, and she doesn't want the prince to bow her head thoughtfully, not knowing what she is thinking.
The fat doll will already be a little sleepy, her eyes are half-open and half-closed, and her little head can't help grinding into Su Yan's arms. Su Yan gently patted his son, gently hummed a soft Jiangnan tune, and coaxed the fat doll to sleep.
The prince came back to his senses and stared at the fat doll lying between the two with bitter and vengeful eyes, "Why is he sleeping here?" "Shouldn't he accompany Qingqing to take a nap!
The husband's expression was too sad and angry, Su Yan was a little worried, reached out and hugged his son to the innermost side, turned his head and smiled at the prince flatteringly: "I'll let Ah Ji sleep in it." After speaking, he deliberately leaned over to kiss the prince's thin lips, and then stuffed himself into her husband's arms, skillfully found a comfortable position to settle herself and the child, blinked her eyes and said sweetly: "Qilang, let's sleep together." โ
The prince looked at Su Yan resentfully, "Let the nurse take Ah Zhi away." โ
Su Yan shook his head firmly, "He'll cry." โ
"Daddy has ordered that Ah Zhu should be appointed as the emperor's grandson, and sooner or later he will have to live in a palace by himself. In order to prevent him from being scared in the future, it is better to cultivate the habit of independence in him from now on. The prince spoke solemnly.
Su Yan glanced at her husband: I heard you talking nonsense.
"Qingqing, I said that Daddy wants to be the emperor's grandson." The prince repeated it again.
Su Yan raised his hand to cover his lips, yawned delicately, and said casually: "I heard it, isn't it the emperor's grandson, it's the same whether you stand or not." โ
The prince's heart was relieved, and he stretched out his hand to pull up the quilt for his beloved wife in his arms and the little doll in her arms, looked at his son who had fallen asleep in seconds and his beloved wife who had phoenix eyes half-narrowed, and gently patted her: "Sleep." Listening to his beloved wife's gradual long breathing, the prince also felt a little sleepy, he gently dropped a kiss on Su Yan's lips, and whispered: "Qingqing, the third child was locked up by Daddy, and he asked for interest for you." Wait a few more days, and there will be someone who has harmed you, and will pay the price. โ
Su Yan was sick that time, and the prince never gave up the investigation, but he didn't dare to move too much, attracting the attention of the emperor, so he could only come secretly. Finally one day, let the prince find some clues, and after in-depth investigation, all the spearheads were pointed at King Zhou. The crown prince was already suspicious of his brothers and was convinced of the results of the investigation. It was at that time that the emperor had a very good attitude towards his sons and did everything he could to be a loving father, which made the prince so angry that he almost lost his mind and made a wrong move.
"Qingqing, don't worry, one day, I will make everyone who hurt you regret living in this world." The prince's voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, but the firmness in his tone all indicated the future fate of King Zhou. 166 Reading Network
