When Xue Rang came back, Zhen Baolu had already fallen asleep. Her palm-sized white face was nestled in a brocade quilt, and her black hair was like a cloud, well-behaved like a child. He raised his hand and gently stroked her face. The night was more dewy, Xue Rang came back in a hurry, and there was some coldness on his body, and the cold palm touched her tender cheeks, which made Zhen Baolu, who was already sleeping unsteadily, wake up all of a sudden.

She opened her eyes and looked at him.

Xue Rang paused, obviously didn't expect her to sleep so lightly, but after thinking about it, he understood the reason, so he said softly: "Woke you up?" ”

Seeing that it was Xue Rang, Zhen Baolu's eyes were confused, his eyes were foggy, he only shook his head lightly, and muttered, "You're back?" ”

Xue Jean bowed his head, kissed her eyebrows, and said, "I'll accompany you right away." He got up and went to the clean room to bathe, washed up, and then went to the bed and took his wife in the brocade quilt into his arms.

At this time, Zhen Baolu naturally fell asleep in a daze, and only noticed the warm breath of the person beside her, so she habitually reached out to hug her. With him, she slept much more soundly.

And when Zhen Baolu woke up the next day, Xue Rang had already gone out.

At present, the most important thing in the Great Zhou is to support the new emperor.

The death of Emperor Xuanhe was not accidental. I have been seriously ill before, and I was hanging on to my last breath. However, it is also strange to say that this Emperor Xuanhe did not leave an edict of the prince. In this way, the new emperor will naturally be elected by the civil and military officials.

Emperor Xuanhe has many heirs, but there are few who can grow up smoothly. The eldest prince is out of the queen, it stands to reason that this great prince is out of the queen, and he should be the best candidate for the prince, who thinks about the eldest prince, Emperor Xuanhe did not learn the spirit when he was young, but the romance after ascending the throne has been fully learned, so many years, Emperor Xuanhe has not established the eldest prince, and it is also because of this reason.

In contrast, the second prince who was named King Jing was different. King Jing was born by Mu Guifei, who was smart and brave when he was a child, and he didn't know how many streets he threw the older prince off, and he was friendly to people on weekdays, and his impression among the civil and military officials was also very good. The Great Zhou Dynasty has always advocated the establishment of virtue, and does not restrict the establishment of long and long-term successions, so that the chances of this King Jing are naturally greater. Moreover, last time, King Jing led the army to pacify the war at the border pass, and used soldiers like gods, which is also a lot of plus.

said that King Mu was only recalled to the imperial city at the end of last year. As the younger brother of Emperor Xuanhe, he naturally has the right to speak.

After Emperor Xuanhe ascended the throne, he was cruel and eliminated the brothers who fought for the throne one by one, leaving only this brother King Mu. King Mu was also deeply favored by the first emperor earlier, and if it weren't for Emperor Xuanhe's mother and concubine thinking about her eldest son, it might be unknown who this throne was. Emperor Xuanhe also regarded King Mu as a thorn in his side, but in the end, because of the queen mother's affection, he didn't dare to kill him all.

And this King Mu, in the years when he was driven to Qizhou on the back cover, naturally he was not idle, and he also had contacts with some officials in the court. At this time, Emperor Xuanhe just died, so he naturally had to firmly grasp this opportunity.

-- But King Mu is on the side of the eldest prince.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that if the mediocre and incompetent prince succeeds to the throne, then this power will naturally fall into the hands of King Mu. But some of the elders of the court had also seen King Mu's ability before, and when Emperor Xuanhe succeeded to the throne and was mediocre, many people secretly regretted in their hearts: If it was the virtuous King Mu who ascended the throne at that time, this Great Zhou would not have ended up like this.

For a while, there were also gloomy clouds in the Anguo Mansion.

You must know that it is Xiao Li, the eldest son of King Mu, who is married to Xue Yifang. If this great prince can ascend the throne smoothly, it will naturally be a good thing, if not, then if King Jing ascends the throne, where can King Mu be accommodated? If this Xue Yifang marries Mu Shizi, it will also be a burden to the Anguo Mansion.

is the Duke of Anguo, who also had some friendship with King Mu in the past. Now that the two families are going to become in-laws, seeing that King Mu is on the side of the eldest prince, he naturally supports the eldest prince.

As for Xue Rang, he was on King Jing's side from beginning to end. However, at this time, Xue Rang was only a fourth-grade general, and he didn't have much weight.

In private, King Jing looked at Xue Rang and quipped: "This king really didn't misunderstand you." It's just that if you go back to the house today, I'm afraid that Ling Zun won't give you a good look, why don't you find a place for you to hide? "Lao Tzu in front of him, An Guogong's face is naturally black.

It's hard for King Jing to be in the mood to joke at this time.

Xue Rang naturally smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness." However, he will have to go back to his wife at home. ”

In this way, King Jing only said that he was a favorite wife, so naturally he didn't say much.

And this was indeed said by King Jing. After returning home, An Guogong said sharply in front of the old lady: "You rebel, don't kneel down!" So saying, he ordered the housekeeper to go and get the family law.

He ignored this son on the Anguo Fair Day, but now, he can't see him doing this with him.

Seeing this, the old lady hurriedly obstructed: "What are you doing here?" He said to Xue, who was kneeling on the ground with an indifferent face, "Listen to your father, get up quickly." ”

An Guo said: "What do I do? I'm going to ask him what he wants to do. This eldest prince is the eldest son, born by the queen, and now he is supported by King Mu, and this discerning person knows whose hands the throne will fall into. You are capable, and it is just that you get close to King Jing on weekdays, but at this time, is it time for you to be righteous? So saying, he took the rattan and struck it.

An Guogong has also practiced martial arts, and he is angry at this time, and when a rattan is beaten, the skin is open, and the scars are very hideous.

The old lady almost fainted, and said anxiously: "I think you are crazy!" She hurriedly snatched the rattan from An Guogong's hand.

To be honest, the relationship between the father and son has been estranged over the years, and she is used to it, but it is the first time she has beaten a child like this. The old lady also knew in her heart that this time and that time. Earlier, Sun Er and King Jing got close, but he didn't say much, but he acquiesced. After all, he also knew that it would be no accident that this King Jing would be the emperor in the future, and his grandson would have a good relationship with King Jing, which would be helpful to their entire Anguo Mansion. Who would have thought that the king of Namu would support the great prince.

In this way, An Guogong naturally had to reconsider in his heart.

In the future, his daughter is going to marry Mu Shizi, even if she doesn't mention her previous friendship, she should also stand on King Mu's side. Moreover, the eldest prince ascended the throne and King Mu took power, which would also be helpful to their Anguo Mansion. This help is far greater than after King Jing ascended the throne.

Zhen Baolu, when she heard that the father and son had an argument, she couldn't take care of her unstable body, so she hurriedly went to the front hall.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw Xue Rang kneeling on the ground upright, with a bloody scar on his back, which was shocking.

On weekdays, Zhen Baolu remembers that An Guogong is her father-in-law, and she respects him. But at this moment, seeing him treat Xue Rang like this, she couldn't bear it anyway.

When the old lady saw her come in, she frowned and said, "Why are you still running around when you are pregnant with a child?" He hurriedly grabbed An Guogong and said to Zhen Baolu, "It's okay to come, you can go back with your brother." ”

Zhen Baolu knew that the old lady was helping Xue Rang. She nodded hurriedly, bent down to help Xue Rang's arm, and said, "Big cousin." ”

Xue Rang had always listened to her, so he naturally got up and left. When she got outside, Zhen Baolu complained: "Are you stupid?" Dad is already prejudiced against you, good manners, what are you provoking him to do? "No matter what this old man does wrong, he is justified, and the one who suffers a lesson must be a son.

Xue Rang's calm face was a little better, and said, "It's out of the way." He tilted his head, squeezed her hand, and said, "I'm worried about you." ”

Zhen Baolu said: "I am your wife, so naturally I have to worry about you." ”

Although Zhen Baolu is not there, she can vaguely know something from the mouths of the maids. She protects her shortcomings, so she is naturally on Xue Rang's side. This Duke of Anguo originally also supported King Jing, but now he just thought that the eldest prince would ascend the throne, which would be more beneficial to the Duke of Anguo, so he temporarily defected.

But did her father-in-law ever think that with the ambition of King Mu, even if the eldest prince ascended the throne and held great power, how could he be willing to be a courtier?

・

And the Wang family, who lives here with a pure heart and copies scriptures every day, also has some hope in his heart when he hears the news. She is most satisfied with the family business she found for her daughter, she is hoping that the eldest prince will ascend the throne at this time, and after a while, King Namu will sweep away the obstacles, kick the eldest prince away, and ascend the throne by himself.

At that time, the eldest son Mu Shizi will be the crown prince. Then she is the prince's mother-in-law.

At that time, An Guogong looked at the royal face, and he didn't dare to lock her up in Qingxinju like this.

Hearing that Xue Rang was on King Jing's side, Wang bent his lips and said, "When the eldest prince ascends the throne, the first one to get rid of is King Jing." The tree fell and scattered, and Xue Rang's good life was over. ”

It's just that what Wang didn't expect was that the next day in Emperor Xuanhe's bedroom, he found the edict of the prince who had been written early.

And on it, it is clearly written that let the emperor's second son, Xiao Ze, that is, King Jing, succeed to the emperor's throne.
