Chapter 69: Temptation
The crown prince has passed the age of the crown, but he has not yet set up a crown princess, and recently there have been ministers in the court who hope that the prince can get married as soon as possible, so as to give birth to the emperor as soon as possible for the Dawu Dynasty.
Among them, there are naturally reasons why the ministers are worried that the prince's body will not be able to bear the heavy responsibilities of the Dawu Dynasty.
Rather than expecting the crown prince's health to improve day by day, these ministers are more inclined to let the royal family have a few healthy successors while the crown prince is still in good health.
The canonization of the crown princess is the most frequently mentioned topic in the recent court.
So when the prince's words fell, Princess Hanyue's eyes were a little more worried.
How taboo Zhao Tiannan is about the Han family, the prince and Princess Hanyue know too clearly.
Feng Zhige was originally the daughter of the Hou Gate, and now she is the daughter of the old man Han who recognized her clearly, with her identity, if the prince really has any thoughts about Feng Zhige, it is definitely impossible to only accept her as a side concubine.
But everyone knows how important the crown prince and concubine are, Zhao Tiannan only has such a son as the prince, and this world will definitely be passed on to the prince in the future, how can he allow the future queen to come from the Han family?
A cold Su has already made Zhao Tiannan uneasy for more than 20 years, and another Feng Zhige who has been recognized by the old man Han......
If the daughter of the Han family is really the crown prince's concubine, with the prince's body, I am afraid that Zhao Tiannan will enter the soil and have to worry about whether one day the Zhao family will change its surname to Han.
Therefore, once the news that the prince is going to marry Feng Zhige and be the prince's concubine spreads, the first thing he will usher in will not be a big wedding, but will directly face Zhao Tiannan who is sitting on the dragon chair.
Compared with Zhao Tiannan, the resources that the prince has now are undoubtedly pitiful, and if he really wants to confront Zhao Tiannan head-on, it is no different from hitting a stone with an egg.
It's really this time. Whether Zhao Zaicun, the crown prince, can sit firmly is still unknown.
After all, although everyone in the world knows that the emperor only has the crown prince's son, there is still a queen mother's mother, the Zhou family of the Chengen Mansion, who is watching from the side.
What the Zhou family has in mind, the prince and Princess Hanyue both know something.
Although it seems that their father does not want the Zhou family to take over the world, if the crown prince really disappoints Zhao Tiannan, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not inherit the throne from one of the Zhou family's heirs.
At that time, what will be the result of the current prince? Anyone can imagine it.
Princess Hanyue and the crown prince are siblings of the same mother. Naturally, she didn't want to see her own brother take that step.
What Princess Hanyue can think of, the prince can naturally think of.
His family knows his own affairs, and the prince Zhao Zaicun understands this sentence very deeply.
In the eyes of others. He is the crown prince, the prince of a country, and the person who will ascend the dragon chair and become the supreme of the Ninth Five-Year Plan in the future, just look at this series of names. It is enough for outsiders to imagine how glamorous his life must be.
But if it were someone who knew a little bit about Zhao Zaicun's life before he was crowned prince, he would not have guessed so.
The palace is arguably the most glamorous and dirtiest place in the world.
In the years when everyone in the palace thought that the emperor would have other heirs. A prince born to an unfavored and inconspicuous beauty, and he was born with his own medicine jar, how much attention can he expect to get?
Zhao Zaicun's memories of his youth were spent in taking medicine and being ridiculed.
As for the question of how can he be ridiculed as a prince......
Even if it's the blood of the Son of Heaven. If you are not favored, even a slightly decent palace maid and eunuch in the palace can decide whether to step on two feet or three feet depending on the mood.
If it weren't for Zhao Zaicun, who was the only prince in the palace at the time, he was born weak. Those palace people who are used to praising high and stepping on low are afraid that he will be too ruthless, if he has something three long and two short, I am afraid that he will not only be ridiculed.
It was not until later that there were no more princes in the palace for many years. After Princess Hanyue was born, she was quite favored by Zhao Tiannan, and Zhao Zaixun's life was getting better and better.
But even now, Zhao Zaicun, who is already the crown prince, can't help but look gloomy when he thinks of that year.
In fact, even if he is now the crown prince, although no one dares to disrespect him on his face, the treatment he receives is still not commensurate with his status.
As the crown prince, he was disliked by the current emperor in the palace, and he did not get the support of several ministers in the court, and until now he has not set up a crown princess to give birth to an heir.
In addition to having the title of this prince, Zhao Zaicun did not realize the majesty of the prince of the Dawu Dynasty at all.
This can be seen by just looking at his biological mother, Concubine Ning, who is still ignored in the palace now.
With his situation, against his wise and martial father, you can imagine what the result will be.
However, even though he knew what the result would be, Zhao Zaicun was still unwilling in his heart.
The reason why he was born weak and sickly is that he was frightened when he was pregnant with Concubine Ning, although Zhao Zaicun didn't know what Concubine Ning was frightened by, but Zuo was just caused by the jealousy between the harem concubines.
Because of physical reasons, Zhao Zaicun saw disappointment in his father's eyes more than once, and his heart when he was a child who hoped to get a word of praise from his father gradually cooled in that disappointed eyes.
It wasn't until he gradually came into contact with state affairs that Zhao Zaicun knew that the reason why his father was disappointed in him was not only because of his physical reasons, but also because of his qualifications.
However, the qualifications are ordinary and undesirable, just as he does not want to be born frail and sickly.
After more than 20 years of disappointment with his father, he has experienced being ignored and suddenly being taken seriously, and almost all of what Zhao Zaicun has done in this not long life has been arranged by others, and after a long time, he can't even tell what is his own wish and what is his father's arrangement.
People are born with anti-bones.
Even if Zhao Zaicun seems to be a gentle person on the surface, he has been manipulated to walk thousands of miles, and he will hope to get rid of others to move freely one day.
Now he no longer wants to live according to his father's wishes.
Although he knew that he wanted to compete with his father, he always wanted to try it anyway.
He always had to convey his unwillingness to his father to his father.
Zhao Jaecun lowered his eyelids. Both hands are held by the hands of the fist.
……
After all, the crown prince and Princess Hanyue are nobles in the palace, and being able to go to the Han family to go to this experience has already shown the emperor's grace, and before the banquet is over, they left in advance in the congratulations of everyone.
But even if they have left, in the hearts of these people who came to the birthday banquet, there is still an impression of the royal family's grace to the old man Han and the Han family.
Of course, at this birthday party. The most noticeable. But it's a phoenix song.
The matter of Feng Zhige had already reached Zhao Tiannan's ears before the prince and Princess Hanyue returned to the palace.
The Royal Dead. It's just as easy to use when messaging.
When Zhao Tiannan got the news, he was reviewing the fold, and when he heard that the old man Han recognized the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Weiyuan Mansion as his daughter in front of everyone, the imperial pen in Zhao Tiannan's hand suddenly crooked, leaving an irregular vermilion trace on the fold.
The messy red lines. Just like Zhao Tiannan's mood at the moment.
After a moment of silence, Zhao Tiannan put the pen back on the pen holder. He threw aside the fold in his hand, and then inquired carefully about what seemed unusual to him.
Old Man Han's love for Han Su's daughter, Zhao Tiannan is definitely one of the people who feel it the most.
Back then, for the death of Han Su, the old man Han was so angry that he almost ignored the safety of the Han family and the whole family and openly tore his face with Zhao Tiannan. Even if he still chose to swallow that evil breath in the end, but in the past 20 years, even if there is a difference between a monarch and a minister. Old Man Han has never given Zhao Tiannan a good look.
Such monarchs and ministers, even if they count the dynasties and dynasties. It's also absolutely unprecedented.
Because of this, when he heard that Old Man Han actually recognized a daughter, Zhao Tiannan was so cautious.
Especially, when he learned that there was still a word "vegetarian" in the small character of this daughter that Old Man Han had newly recognized.
The daughter of the old man Han, Su.
Almost immediately, Zhao Tiannan thought of Hansu.
Then naturally, Han Su's sentence "I will come back" before he died echoed in Zhao Tiannan's ears.
Back then, Han Su died in Zhao Tiannan's arms, and this sentence was almost said in his ear, even if Zhao Tiannan knew that Han Su was not said to him, it would not affect his deep impression of this sentence.
To this day, remembering the scene when Han Su said this sentence at that time, Zhao Tiannan still couldn't help but tremble inexplicably.
Maybe it's out of weakness, maybe it's fear.
The king of a country, but he will be afraid of a woman's cruel words that may not have any meaning before she dies, and if this is spread, I am afraid that it will laugh off people's big teeth.
But if you understand how Han Su was for the Dawu Dynasty back then, it is not surprising at all.
Even if the person who is afraid of cold is like the emperor who is wise and martial in the eyes of today's people.
Zhao Tiannan was naturally afraid.
What he is most proud of in his life is that he has laid down the rivers and mountains of the Great Wu Dynasty, but on the contrary, the rivers and mountains of the Great Wu Dynasty are not beaten by him alone, if the person standing side by side with him is a man, they may become close brothers with different surnames, and they may turn against each other under the corruption of power.
But when that person is a woman, and he is also his future pillow person......
Until now, Zhao Tiannan couldn't understand how he felt about Han Su.
Appreciation, admiration, jealousy, suspicion, fear......
And maybe love.
Such a radiant woman, even in the midst of thousands of troops, can take the lead and make all men ashamed of themselves.
As the Son of Heaven, when everyone thinks that most of the credit for the establishment of the country lies in a woman, and this woman will be the future queen and have a strong mother's family, even if he still has some love for that woman in his heart, he is afraid that in the end it will turn into suspicion.
What kind of consequences will be brought about by an emperor's suspicion, the results of Han Su back then are enough to illustrate a qiē.
It is precisely because Zhao Tiannan attaches so much importance to Han Su that he has been haunted by the words left by Han Su before his death for more than 20 years.
It's just that in the past 20 years, the Han family has never had any movement, and Zhao Tiannan almost forgot about it.
Until seven years ago, there was a vision of ten thousand lotus blooming in Huzhou.
The vision related to the lotus flower made Zhao Tiannan think of Han Su's smile on the lakeside for only a moment.
Can a single lotus seed bring a dead person back into the world?
If it was someone else who said this, Zhao Tiannan would have regarded it as just a joke. But when the person who said this became cold and unprovoked, it became a little more convincing.
So when he learned that there was something wrong in Huzhou, Zhao Tiannan was wondering, did Han Su really come back after twenty years?
When this conjecture came to mind, Zhao Tiannan was not only frightened, but even a little happy.
Though. Even he didn't know what he was happy about.
And then later. Zhao Tiannan also sent people to Huzhou to inquire about the news for a long time, but except for the vision of that year, the whole Huzhou was only calm. So much so that Zhao Tiannan later laughed a little because of his whimsy.
After seven years of calm, Zhao Tiannan has actually left Han Su's words behind him.
However, now Old Man Han's unexpected recognition of his daughter makes him feel like he has returned to the palace more than 20 years ago. The woman in red in his arms was pale, but she still spoke in such an orderly manner.
"I'll be back." She said. The expression was so calm and determined.
Perhaps that calm and certainty is the source of Zhao Tiannan's faint uneasiness over the years.
If people care about something or something extremely, they will always have some gains and losses subconsciously, and Zhao Tiannan is like this.
In his heart. The country of the Great Wu Dynasty that he worked so hard to build is the most important thing, so even if he was just wondering whether the Han family would become more powerful enough to threaten the imperial power after Han Su gave birth to the prince. He was able to drug Han Su's wine, and by mistake ordered Han Su to lose his life on the eve of the wedding.
Thinking of this kind of past. Zhao Tiannan's calmness and self-control, which he had always been proud of, were faintly out of control, and the hands placed under the imperial case gradually clenched into fists, and cyan veins appeared on the back of his hands.
"The Emperor's ......"
There was a slightly worried voice from Gonggong Lin in his ears.
Zhao Tiannan's hand was loose.
He turned his head to look at Gonggong Lin with a subtle scrutiny in his eyes.
"You also heard about Old Man Han's recognition of his daughter, what do you think about this?" Zhao Tiannan Road.
As Zhao Tiannan's confidant, Gonggong Lin has also known a lot of secrets by his side over the years, and in comparison, the fact that Old Man Han recognizes his daughter is really nothing.
It wasn't until he linked this incident with Han Su that Zhao Tiannan suddenly remembered that although Gonggong Lin had been by his side for decades, when it came to intimacy, he and Han Su might have to kiss him.
Because of this, Zhao Tiannan, who rarely asks Gonggong Lin's opinion, suddenly asked this question.
He couldn't be clearer, if Han Su can really return to the world, they must be enemies and not friends, and the lord of a country is an enemy, this is obviously not an easy task, at this time, if he knows that Lin Gonggong has won his trust, then, will Han Su be the first to contact Lin Gonggong?
Zhao Tiannan had no doubt at all that as long as Han Su contacted Lin Gonggong, Lin Gonggong would definitely fall to Han Su's side.
Therefore, after asking this question, Zhao Tiannan's pair of sharp eyes comparable to swords stared at Gonggong Lin's face tightly, not letting go of any subtle expressions of Gonggong Lin.
Under Zhao Tiannan's oppressive gaze, Lin Gonggong's face was only calm, and after he pondered for a while, he said with some hesitation: "Back to the emperor, the old slave thinks that Old Man Han's move is probably just thinking too much, after all, Old Man Han is now old, and the death of the queen's mother is really a blow to the old man......"
Speaking of Old Man Han, the respect in Grandpa Lin's words is almost revealed from his bones.
As for Han Su, he is known as the "Queen Mother", if the current Queen Su Shenyu listens to it, I don't know what the reaction will be.
Of course, Father-in-law Lin's unabashed attitude is enough to show his calmness.
Zhao Tiannan's frowning brows relaxed slightly, but a pair of eyes still did not take his eyes off Lin Gonggong's face, but continued to ask: "So, in your opinion, Su Su, how credible is it when she returns to the world?" ”
When Gonggong Lin heard this, there was a little more sadness and bitterness in his eyes.
He sighed slightly, his eyes were a little empty, as if he was reminiscing about the past a long time ago, and only after a long time did he say softly: "Your Majesty, if possible, the slave is really willing to believe that the queen mother can really return to the world." If the queen mother can really return to the world, it is also good for the slave to repay his long-cherished wish for many years and repay this life-saving grace. ”
Speaking of this, Gonggong Lin shook his head, "But the old slave also knows that this is just an extravagant hope, how can a person be resurrected when he dies......
The words were sudden, and Gonggong Lin seemed to suddenly remember something, forgetting his humility for a while, he suddenly turned his head to look directly at Zhao Tiannan, and exclaimed: "Your Majesty, the old man Han suddenly recognized a daughter, could it be that the eldest girl of the Feng family is ......"
Although the words are not finished, the meaning of them is very clear.
Looking at Gonggong Lin's eyes full of expectation, Zhao Tiannan was silent, he didn't expect that Gonggong Lin would ask so bluntly.
However, thinking about Han Su's kindness to Gonggong Lin back then, as well as Gonggong Lin's temperament of knowing kindness, Zhao Tiannan was relieved again.
Then, the thoughts that floated in Zhao Tiannan's heart were dispelled a lot, and he inevitably laughed a little at the temptation of his own talent, it was just that Old Man Han recognized a daughter, how could he think that the Lin Gong Guild knew something because of this.
But......
Zhao Tiannan was suspicious after all, no matter what, he had to meet the eldest girl of the Feng family before he could feel at ease.
Thinking of the eldest girl of the Feng family, Zhao Tiannan suddenly remembered that he seemed to have really seen it once in Cining Palace that time.
It's just that in his impression, there is only a delicate side face and a green coat.
With a thought in his mind, Zhao Tiannan stood up.
"Drive the Kunning Palace." (To be continued.) )
