Chapter 253: Reactions from all sides
As soon as he returned to Zheng Guogong's mansion, the carriage had just stopped, and the servant had not had time to set up the pestle, so he jumped down from the carriage and hurriedly walked to the study, instructing his entourage as he went: "Invite Shuman immediately!" ”
In order to congratulate the sage for a thousand years, Mu Miao, the governor of Yangzhou who made meritorious contributions, also returned to Chang'an, in view of his mistakes, the sage deliberately avoided him when he summoned the important ministers to establish the prince, after all, Mu Xin knew, can Mu Miao still not know?
When Mu Miao came to the study, he saw his brother with gray temples pacing left and right, fidgeting, looking out of the 'door' from time to time, and when he saw his younger brother, he immediately said: "Uncle Mang, you are here!" "Immediately, he ordered all the people who were waiting to retreat, and the most loyal dead soldier of the Mu family was guarding outside the 'door', and he was still about to lower his voice and tell every word what happened in the temple of Fang Cai'lu'.
Hearing what his brother said, Mu Miao's expression was heavy, and he shook his head for a while and sighed: "Big brother, the mistake you made this time is really fatal!" Who is Pei Jin? The veteran of the two dynasties, who can match the Luoyang Order for more than 20 years? He talked all about that, and if he didn't set up a king, he didn't pay attention to etiquette, and let the barbarians see the joke, how could he not immediately seconded his reasoning? Although we are relatives of the royal family, we can't regard ourselves as serious relatives of the royal family, even if we are serious relatives, it is not the turn of relatives to 'intervene' when the next family chooses the head of the family. ”
Mu Xin already felt that something was wrong, and when he heard his younger brother say this, he was afraid, and his 'sex' who had been pampered for many years couldn't help but bring it out, and couldn't help but say: "Could it be that the king dares to retaliate against us?" ”
"It's not a king, it's a saint!" Mu Miao saw that his brother hadn't grasped the key point yet, and suddenly felt helpless, "The sage has changed his mind, 'wanting' to establish the king as the crown prince, but you and Deng Jiang are married to the king of Wei, and Deng Jiang jumped up and down, and dared to openly recommend the king of Wei as the crown prince, in the eyes of the sage, what will the sage think?" The prince, the prime minister and his relatives have already formed a line, and they dare to be dissatisfied with the inheritance system of the eldest son, and blatantly do not take the ancestral rules, the dignity of Daxia and the saints in their eyes! ”
The emperor asked you to comment on his son and recommend a virtuous man to be the crown prince, do you dare to say it? The sage clearly had an idea and wanted the support of the ministers, so he asked like this. The more you are at this time, the more careful you have to be, and you would rather do less than make a mistake, but Deng Jiang ...... What kind of marriage is King Wei and Deng Jiang, they have simply found an enemy for themselves!
Strange, Deng Jiang's virtue, how did he avoid several turbulent 'waves' before, and all the way to Shangshu Zuocheng?
The abolition of the establishment is not something that these courtiers can put their beaks on, unless it shakes the foundation of the country. It is natural for a saint to establish his eldest son, and if you don't seconded it at the first time, is it dissatisfied? That's right, you married King Wei and ascended the throne on behalf of the king, so you naturally have some concerns.
No matter how lenient the saint is, it is also the emperor, the emperor can be 'selfish' and more important than the public, but he can't see that the courtiers are like this, if the Mu family is evil to the saint, how can they have a good life?
Don't look at the Mu family's prominence, if you really want to count it, there are few young people who use it, Zheng Guogong's body is about to die, and the imperial doctor has said that no matter how it is delayed, it will be a matter of the past two years. Once Zheng Guogong passed away, there would be no elders of the Mu family and the saint's generation, and many words may not be able to speak, let alone reminisce about the old relationship, let alone three years of worry...... If the saints have sinned against them, and Ding Wei will not be restored after the worries, and there will be no good positions left in the court, what can they do? You can't be a second-grade or third-grade official, and then be a fourth- or fifth-grade official, right? Even if you are willing to give up this face, you can't afford to lose this person!
Thinking of the stern 'sex' of the matter, Mu Xin was also a little afraid, and Mu Miao said again: "Big brother, to be honest, the younger brother is not very optimistic about King Wei. ”
"How?"
"Maybe I'm too careful, right?" Mu Miao didn't 'want' to tell people right and wrong, especially when it came to the length of a girl's family, but at this time, she couldn't help it, "I heard that Princess Wei has always been in poor health, and the three sons and daughters born by King Wei were all carried to the outer courtyard and raised by King Wei himself." ”
This is not an uncommon thing, people who have lived in Chang'an for a long time have heard of it, and at that time everyone praised King Wei's affection, but now I hear my brother mention it...... Mu Xin's eyebrows twisted up, and he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Lingshou County Lord? ”
"Exactly! The demeanor of the county lord of Lingshou cannot be called a gentleman's behavior! ”
Mu Miao said this, and Mu Xin also agreed.
The county lord of Lingshou married Mu Xin's eldest grandson, Mu Cheng, who was also born tall and handsome, and had a pair of sons and daughters, which was an excellent marriage. However, Mu Cheng has also been a spoiled master since he was a child, and he is young and has a little less thought. He had two extremely favored maids, and in order to give face to the county lord, he was naturally sent to Zhuangzi before he got married. Mu Cheng thought about the old relationship and secretly went to see them once or twice, and this matter was somehow known to the county lord of Lingshou.
It stands to reason that the newlywed Yan'er, her husband went to visit the old man, even if the county lord of Lingshou didn't make a fuss, he wouldn't give Mu Cheng a good face. However, the county lord of Lingshou did not take the usual path, and he was surprisingly virtuous, and he actually offered to take these two beautiful maids back. Mu Cheng is also an ignorant person, he didn't know how to refuse, but he pushed the boat down the river. The Mu family is also used to publicity, and they don't say anything when they see the county lord being virtuous, who would have thought that Lingshou County would focus on the idea of secretly attacking?
Thinking about it, if you really want to do it, it will be a complete failure - although the county lord of Lingshou has scheming and means, he is a high-ranking 'door' and a noble 'woman', where can he compare to the maid 'girl' beside Mu Cheng who studies these all day long, all of them are scheming and skilled? Besides, even if there are really the same means, the county lord of Lingshou is not as willing to put down his body as the maid 'girl'!
As soon as this matter was revealed, the Mu family was in an uproar, but this matter was indeed that they didn't give much face to the county lord of Lingshou, taking care that the saint's body was not as good as a year ago, and the county lord of Lingshou was the princess in the future, so he pressed the matter and put the beautiful maid to death, and by the way, he cleaned up the grumpy Mu Cheng, and now that Mu Miao mentioned it, Mu Xin couldn't help nodding.
As the county lord of Lingshou, what if he killed those two maidservants? At most, if you are told a few words, the husband and wife are not in harmony, and life still has to be lived the same. She did this in person, took it in, promised, and played smoothly, but behind her back she tried her best to harm the other party, and she was both favored and framed, which was really a bit unacceptable.
The county lord of Lingshou, but he was raised by King Wei!
Mu Xin couldn't sit still: "This, this, is it possible that a saint has seen the ...... of King Wei" An emperor with both scheming and skill and improper scheming is indeed not as good as an emperor who has no political talent but is kind-hearted. After all, there are so many capable people in the DPRK and China, as long as they trust these courtiers, are they afraid that the country will not be governed well?
Mu Xinshang, who is invincible, is so uneasy, where will others be good? As soon as King Zhao got the news, he smashed all his favorite treasures and antiques, and scolded angrily: "Old man Xu Mi, where did I offend you!" You deserve to have no son, no one to send you to the end! ”
Shi Liangsong, the head of King Zhao's mansion, knew that he was angry, and he didn't dare to persuade him, but the more King Zhao thought about it, the more angry he became, and he slammed the wall fiercely: "Although there are more beauties in the lonely mansion, all of them are obedient, how can they be like two fools, one is almost dead, and the other is dead and doesn't know that the queen is not his ......question at all."
"His Royal Highness King Zhao!" Liang Song was taken aback and said busily, "Be careful! ”
Even if you scold King Han, if it reaches the ears of the saint, wouldn't you feel uncomfortable for yourself?
King Zhao was also confused, and when Liang Song reminded him like this, he quickly reacted, and couldn't help gritting his teeth and said: "Old man Xu Mi, if you don't kill you, Lone is not worthy of being this King Zhao!" ”
The same news also spread to the other four royal palaces, and the acting king was already a frightened bird, lest this person had come to test him, and immediately ordered someone to tie him up and throw him into the firewood room; King Han was angry, and kept muttering, "Standing on a shoulder and not being a prince in your hand, where is the prestige of our country, it is clearly a joke for foreign races", and then ordered the 'attendant' guard to play martial arts with him, and beat the 'attendant' guard to a blue nose and swollen face before he took a bad breath.
King Lu didn't hold back his gentle expression, and he was a little hideous: "Acting king? How could a saint make a king? "Is it because of their elders that the efforts of these people cannot enter the eyes of the saints? If the eldest and youngest can decide a qiē, why did the sage vigorously cultivate King Liang, who was only the second son? Could it be that King Liang is the son of a saint, isn't he?
He is unwilling, he is unwilling!
Seeing this, Li Qi, the mastermind of King Lu, was afraid that the lord would lose his normal heart, so he couldn't hold it tomorrow, so he hurriedly said: "The prince doesn't need to worry too much, the acting king is not involved in government affairs, even if it is true...... It's also an extremely easy thing to do. ”
As soon as he said this, King Lu gradually eased up.
That's right, the acting king has never been involved in government affairs, so what about Pei Jin's support? Pei Jin is already going to retreat! No matter how powerful Pei Xi is, he hasn't stayed in the officialdom for long. Although Zhang Rong is the in-law of the Pei family, he cherishes his feathers and feathers, and may not be partial to everything. There are so many capable people under him, can't he pull the acting king off the horse? When the crown prince was outstanding, he was still able to win so much help, but can't he now?
"That's what Lao Qi said?" The sage listened to Kuang Min's reply, and was noncommittal, "What about the sixth child?" ”
Although Kuang Min wanted to say a few words about King Wei's wrongs, he couldn't distort the facts, so he had to suppress his reluctance in his heart: "After His Royal Highness the King of Wei heard this, he asked, 'Is this really the case'?" After knowing that this was indeed the case, he only said, 'The eldest brother is the eldest son, and it is natural to be the prince, and I have received a lot of favor from the eldest brother, and I am willing to be a virtuous king to clear up the troubles for the eldest brother, and I hope that the eldest brother can believe in me wholeheartedly.' ’”
When the sage heard this, he was a little undecided.
When the king of Wei was alone with the mastermind, he could still be so generous, and his conduct seemed to be passable? At least it is much better than a few brothers who plot to kill people and plan to make trouble in political affairs, but look at what he does on weekdays, but he is not such a bright and upright person with a big heart!
Thinking of this, the sage asked again: "And then, what did he do?" ”
Kuang Min waited for the question of being a saint, and immediately said: "His Royal Highness King Wei went to the courtyard of the most favored 'servant' concubine recently, and on the second day, this 'waiting' concubine failed to greet the princess. ”
