"Ha Lu Ha! Are they actually deliberating about it? What are the conclusions? "Shouchang Pavilion, the emperor's imperial study, Zhao Zhen asked Zhao Xian who was sitting opposite with a smile.

Hearing Zhao Zhen's obviously meaningful laughter, Zhao Xian said angrily: "Brother Zhen, you have actually guessed what the result will be, right?" Why do you want to ask me? ”

Zhao Zhen coughed lightly, put away his smile, frowned and said: "It's nothing more than a joint royal family to write to the imperial court, requesting to change this custom and re-divide the heir king." ”

Zhao Xian remembered the Ming Dynasty after the Yuan Dynasty, because there were too many vassal kings, so that the emperor had to use the means of cutting the feudal domain to concentrate the imperial power in his own hands, so that the power of the vassal king would not threaten the imperial power.

In the event of a disaster in the country, the feudal kings in various places can play a leading role and jointly protect the imperial power of a certain surname.

There is still a saying among the people that "one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven", not to mention the emperor's family, is it difficult for the emperor's son to become a flat-headed common man after two or three generations?

This heir is really a double-edged sword, if used well, it can consolidate the imperial power, and if it is not used well, it is a hidden danger.

Zhao Xian wrinkled her eyebrows and asked, "Brother Zhen has a way to deal with it?" ”

Zhao Zhen sneered and said, "When she was in power, why didn't anyone dare to mention this? Now that the imperial power is in my hands, did you jump out and propose the matter of dividing the seal? Could it be that I seem so kind and easy to knead? ”。

Zhao Xian understood who the "she" in Zhao Zhen's words meant, but when she heard Zhao Zhen say that she was kind, she couldn't help but sneer and said, "Brother Zhen is a good person? Didn't I hear it wrong? ”

Zhao Zhen thought for a while, laughed too, and then said seriously: "Since this matter is proposed, I will issue an edict to divide the 'Ten Kings Queen', but it is not at this time, and I need to wait for the right time." ”

Zhao Xian thought that Zhao Yunsheng took great pains to take him to listen to this matter, and his intention was not just to let himself know about this matter, right? She asked, "Does Brother Zhen know about Zhao Yunsheng bringing a letter to my father?" ”

Zhao Zhen nodded and replied, "Uncle Bawang has already told you, and I also received the letterhead brought by our cousin. ”

Zhao Xian couldn't help but think of what Zhao Yunsheng said to herself after everyone left.

"If your father and brother blindly stand by the emperor's side and support Zhao Zhen unconditionally, will your eldest brother be able to be crowned as the heir of Uncle Eight Princes a hundred years later? If you don't take advantage of the fact that the imperial power is not stable at this time, when his imperial power is stable in the future, it will be the time when 'the rabbit dies and the dog cooks, and the bird hides the bow'. At that time, Zhao Yunsheng said meaningfully.

As a modern person, she has never felt how important it is to inherit the title, and she has never deeply understood the distinction between classes. Although she is a princess, all she wants is a stable and happy life for her relatives, but she has never thought about it.

Since she came to this era, she has not focused on this matter for a long time, so she has also ignored that after the eldest brother of the son of the Eight Kings is also a prince, she will also face the inheritance that all royal relatives will encounter in the future.

"Alas! It's a headache! She sighed slightly.

Zhao Xian's thoughtful, complex and changeable expression naturally couldn't escape Zhao Zhen's sharp eyes.

His eyes sank, he got up and walked in front of Zhao Xian, leaned down and patted her hand gently, and said seriously: "Xian'er, the grace of Uncle Eight Princes, I remember it in my heart, your eldest brother, I also regard myself as my own brother, if you are worried about the future, you don't have to." You should relax and believe that your brother Zhen, as long as I reign for a day, the Eight Princes' Mansion will not fall. ”

Zhao Xian looked up at Zhao Zhen, and saw Zhao Zhen nodding firmly, she breathed a sigh of relief for no reason, what she was worried about was that if the Eight Princes Mansion had a dislike with Zhao Zhen because of this matter, how would she deal with herself? At this time, it was only because of Zhao Zhen's words that she let go of the big stone in her heart.

Zhao Zhen saw that Zhao Xian's expression returned to normal, smiled, and said slowly: "Our cousin has traveled thousands of miles to ask for the heir, but he is only the second son of the king of Chu, so it is reasonable, and it is not his turn to be the heir, but I don't believe that he is so kind that he will ask for the brother who is not born of the same mother?" ”

Zhao Xian was puzzled: "Zhao Yunsheng's mother is the princess of Chu, if his brother is not from the princess of Chu, how can he be the eldest son?" ”

Zhao Zhen said: "Do you know that the current princess of Chu is not the original match of the king of Chu, but the stepfamily, and the original princess of Chu died of illness many years ago, and the stepfamily of this concubine was promoted to the honorable princess." ”

Zhao Xian was puzzled: "The concubine ascended to the sky in one step to become the princess, if she is not beautiful, she is very powerful, and there should be no shortage of beautiful women in the Chu Palace, right?" ”

Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "Zhao Yunsheng's mother, the current princess of Chu, is indeed beautiful and skillful, but these are not the most important, what matters is her identity." ”

Zhao Zhen looked at Zhao Xian's increasingly confused expression, smiled again, and said: "She was originally the sister-in-law of several former Goryeo kings of the Goryeo Dynasty, but she was an out-and-out Goryeo princess, and later because of the dispute for the throne of Goryeo, she was affected by the princess, she fled all the way to the Great Song Dynasty, met the king of Chu, and became the concubine of our uncle by chance." ”

Zhao Xian suddenly realized and said: "It's no wonder, but a fugitive princess came to our Great Song Dynasty and was sandwiched among the many aunts of the King of Chu who had status and status, and this identity is not very noble, right?" ”

Zhao Zhen shook his head and said: "It should have been like this, but the current Goryeo royal power has returned to the hands of the elder brother of the princess of Chu, and she has instantly transformed into the aunt of the king of Goryeo, and her identity will naturally rise." ”

Zhao Xian sighed: "The imperial power of this Goryeo is changing very quickly. ”

Zhao Zhen Zhengse said: "The imperial power is unstable, and the beginning of the national turmoil. ”

"If Princess Chu has such a background, Zhao Yunsheng may have the ability to compete for the title." Zhao Xian pondered for a moment and said slowly.

"You said before that Zhao Yunsheng is very likely to be the 'hidden gang', but is this serious?" Zhao Zhen suddenly asked.

"It has not yet been determined, it is just speculation, but it is an indisputable fact that Zhao Yunsheng and Li Yuanhao have a close relationship. The last time his subordinates chased the 'hidden gang' Wei Yanxiu to Jianlongguan and lost his trace, obviously he was hiding in the temple, and the Chu Wangfu happened to be next to Jianlongguan, and the place where Wei Yanxiu went afterwards was also the direction of the Chu king's fiefdom, if this is not a coincidence, no one can believe it. Zhao Xian said.

"In that case, why don't we make an heir? The drama of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight is even better. Zhao Zhen's eyes flashed with a hint of calculation.

Zhao Xian's heart moved, and asked, "Brother Zhen means ......?"

"Yes, that's exactly what it means." Zhao Zhen nodded and said affirmatively.
