Chapter 40: Who is the obstacle?
Toya withdrew from the rest of the people, leaving only her and Surina in the room. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Tell this palace everything you know."
Su Rina said: "According to the slave maid's investigation, since the crown prince of Qingxuanguo was appointed two years ago, the position of the crown prince has been vacant. The Qinglong Emperor has always been undecided about the election of the crown prince, and he has never had an obvious attitude. ”
"According to the Central Plains system, he should be the eldest son."
"The queen has never given birth to an heir to the emperor, and the deceased prince was born to a noble concubine."
Tuoya said: "Then according to the generation, it is the turn of the second prince Chu Yifan?" ”
Su Rina continued: "It stands to reason that this is indeed the case, the mother of the second prince is the cousin of the current queen's mother, and this alone has a lot of advantages for the emperor. However, the second prince did not make any achievements in the court and on the battlefield, nor did he make an inch, and many people in the court did not agree with the second prince as the crown prince. ”
"On the contrary, our prince has both civil and martial arts, has repeatedly made military exploits, and his political achievements are outstanding, but he is respected by many ministers. However, it is said that the mother of the third prince died as early as when the third prince was twelve years old, and the attitude of the Qinglong Emperor towards the three princes has become more and more lukewarm and tepid since then. ”
"As for the six princes, they are stationed at the border all day long, and they rarely ask about the affairs of the imperial court, and the nine princes and a few others are not considered on the throne because of their young age."
After listening to Su Rina's description, Toya somewhat understood, "So, at this moment, the position of the crown prince has become a competition between the second prince and the third prince?" ”
"So to speak." Su Rina paused, "The slave maid also learned something. ”
"Speak!"
"The slave maid made an secret investigation this time, but I also heard that Shen Mirou's father, Shen Huai'an, is the left minister and the elder state of the court, and there are many court ministers attached to him, and they all look to him as the horse's head, so his attitude is also very important."
The queen's people have also been trying to win over Shen Huai'an, and they once intended to persuade Shen Huai'an to marry Shen Mirou to the second prince. However, because Shen Mirou had a marriage contract with the prince in her early years, she did not regret her marriage. ”
Toya needed to sort out this information in her mind, so she said to Su Rina, "You go down and rest first, I'll be alone for a while." ”
In the past, he was bent on getting Chu Yichen's eyes, and he never cared about his life, his thoughts, and what he wanted.
High in the imperial power, there are a few people who can reach but are not moved. Just looking at the second prince's undisguised performance and the greedy desire in his eyes, we can know that Chu Yichen is not just an imaginary enemy in Chu Yifan's eyes, there must be an open and secret battle between them.
And behind Shen Mirou is Shen Huai'an, a huge force within the imperial court, Chu Yichen has long had no one to rely on in the harem, and he will never let go of this precious power.
If Chu Yichen wants to win, he must spare no effort to get the support of Shen Huai'an and more courtiers.
Regardless of whether Chu Yichen is sincere to Shen Mirou or not, he will definitely not treat her badly.
Tuoya laughed at herself, even if her appearance was undamaged, Chu Yichen would definitely give her less care than Shen Mirou. What's more, this kind of kiss seems to be good for Qing Xuan, but it is not necessarily a good thing for Chu Yichen.
The Qinglong Emperor was such a suspicious person, how could he let a foreign woman be the future queen.
So when Chu Yichen tried to excuse herself when she was in the Northern Underworld, the second prince attacked her, which can only show that the second prince is stupid, and he can't think of it so deeply, and he can't see through the intentions of the Qinglong Emperor at all.
The second prince obviously thought that she would become a weapon for Chu Yichen to compete for the throne, so he ignored Beiming's anger and peeked into her life.
If she marries here, it is enough to appease the Northern Underworld, which is enough for Qingxuanguo. As for the way forward, we still have to rely on internal support.
Because of her external factors, she will not bring him substantial help in the battle for the throne, at most she will add a little bargaining chip and give him a way out.
In the future, if Chu Yichen loses in the battle for the storage position, Chu Yifan will never dare to easily move the lives of Chu Yichen and Tuoya.
Therefore, Toya can also figure out the reason why Chu Yifan's assassination attempt came to woo her.
If Tuoya defects, then Chu Yifan in the future will kill or kill Chu Yichen, and he can do whatever he wants.
Tuoya couldn't help but think that as an old fox in the court, if Shen Huai'an was not sure enough to make Chu Yichen the crown prince, then there was only one possibility, that is, Shen Huai'an didn't see through the thoughts of the Blue Dragon Emperor at all.
Tuoya couldn't help but gasp, and a terrible thought couldn't help but rise in her heart: Could it be that she was a stumbling block for Chu Yichen to become the crown prince?
The ambition of the Qinglong Emperor to dominate the world is clearly revealed, I am afraid that even a three-year-old child clearly knows that he will only temporarily appease the North Underworld, but he will not really let it go. If that day really comes, what will happen to herself as the princess of the North Underworld?
Tuoya knew that the Qinglong Emperor would never keep her, just looking at the countries that had been defeated in his hands, you could get a glimpse of it, cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, and eliminating future troubles was his consistent style.
But the Qinglong Emperor agreed to allow Chu Yichen to marry him, is it because he has already excluded Chu Yichen from the candidate for the crown prince in his heart?
Tuoya also heard some rumors along the way, saying that the military generals in the court were against harmony, and did not approve of this marriage, thinking that it would damage face and there was no need to show favor to the Northern Netherworld.
When Chu Yichen marries himself, it is easy to lose the support of some military generals, so elevating Shen Mirou and suppressing her status in the mansion can also be described as killing two birds with one stone. As long as Tuoya doesn't ask Beiming for help and vent her personal anger, Chu Yichen and Qingxuan will not have any losses.
Tuoya felt that the more she saw it, the more cold she felt in her heart, and she couldn't help but guess whether Chu Yichen favored Shen Mirou because of love, politics, or both.
Tuoya would rather Chu Yichen have love for Shen Mirou than be full of politics, if so, she would feel that Chu Yichen is terrible and cold.
It's just that Tuoya can't come up with the best of both worlds now, that is, to protect the Northern Underworld, and to help Chu Yichen get the throne.
Although she has no interest in the throne, she will not increase or decrease her admiration for him because of whether Chu Yichen is the emperor or not, but there is one thing that Toya knows very well that as long as it is what Chu Yichen wants, she will help him fight for it, and as long as it is a threat to him, she is also willing to lift it for him.
Toya knew that no matter whether her guess was correct or not, what she had to do was to do her best, but in Toya's eyes, the biggest obstacle was not the second prince Chu Yifan, but the Qinglong Emperor.
