Zheng and Huiya are busy for Jin Yuzhai's business, and the sales in the shop are booming, and the monthly income is worth half a year's amount, which is far beyond the previous expectations, making Zheng's mother and daughter happy, and Zheng's heart has a lot less worries about their children's marriage, and their health is getting better and better.

After three or four months, seeing that the name of the shop was played, the sales were stable, and the jewelry patterns were saved, Zheng and Huiya slowly let go of this matter, after all, the qualifications of the shopkeeper are there, there is a clear direction, and the shopkeeper can take care of the shop very well.

The busy summer passed in a blink of an eye, and seeing that the autumn was high and cool, it was the time when the climate was pleasant and the mood was good, but the masters of the Zhao Mansion were not as good as they imagined.

"Husband, is my father okay?" Zheng looked at Second Master Zhao, who was a little disgraced, and saw a big pimple twisted between his eyebrows, and after enduring it for a long time, he couldn't help but ask.

"It's okay......" Second Master Zhao was in a very low mood and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say to his wife. When it comes to the major affairs of the court and the battle for imperial power, even when my father talks to him, he is also silent, how can he put this pressure on the Zheng family, who is just getting better?

That night, Zhao Erye kept a heavy heart until he fell asleep, and even Zheng's soft words comforted his daughter Huiya's sweet soup that he specially served, but it could only make him show his face slightly.

Lying on the bed, Zhao Erye looked straight at the bed tent, his brows furrowed tightly.

It turned out that Second Master Zhao had just come back from the office to eat at night, and was called to the study by Master Zhao. originally thought it was just an ordinary father-son conversation, but I didn't expect the eldest brother and the third brother to be there, and the father and son all looked heavy.

It turned out that Master Zhao, who was the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, was impeached by the imperial history at today's court meeting because of an accident that happened in the capital. Originally, it was not a big deal to be impeached by the imperial history. After all, which official has not been impeached by the imperial history, but this matter is an inch of impeachment of Master Zhao's imperial history is no one else, it is the history of the imperial history who is closely following the ass of the Xiao family in the Anguo Mansion.

"It turned out to be Shi Yushi" Second Master Zhao gasped, Shi Yushi. If you don't speak in the court, as soon as you speak, it definitely represents the meaning of the Xiao family of the Anguo Mansion, and the Xiao family is the mother family of Xiao Guifei today, and it is also the foreign family of the hot three princes, and their every move can influence the entire court. But it was enough to make the court tremble.

"Daddy, what the hell is going on? Hasn't our family always been neutral? "Second Master Zhao doesn't need to go to the court, and he is not in the same yamen as his father like the eldest brother and the third brother, so he is much slower to get the news.

Rao is like this, Zhao Erye has already felt a chill on his face, and he can't help but shiver, this is not the cold of autumn, but the bloody rain brought by the imminent rise of the heir, which makes Zhao Erye can't help but chill.

"Alas, it's just that some people can't see your father and me being neutral," Master Zhao couldn't help but sigh. Rong Ma has been upright all his life, and he is only willing to be a pure minister, but now the emperor is not in good health, and the prince is old, and the turmoil of the heir is getting more and more intense, as if he can't get everything involved.

There was silence in the room for a while, how difficult it was to be in this neutral situation, Zhao Erye's heart was like a mirror. Although the current emperor has forty years of spring and autumn, due to his poor health in the early years, his heirs are not vigorous. There are only five adult princes, and among them, the most popular for inheritance is the crown prince and the three princes.

Among the princes who are now adults, the crown prince was born to the frail and sickly Empress Qian. Although he is the eldest concubine, because the emperor favors Xiao Guifei, who was born in the Anguo Mansion, she is lukewarm to the prince, so her status is not stable.

And although Queen Qian is named the queen, she was also born in the famous Lu State Mansion, but because there is only one man in the Lu State Mansion, there is only her own brother and only her nephew left. People are very depressed, and they are always weak and sickly, so they are always pressed by Xiao Guifei and can't breathe.

The second prince was born to the side concubine when the emperor was in the palace, the side concubine has been gone for many years, and the mother's family has long been gone, and the second prince himself is not a smart and clever person, so he is not competitive, just an idle prince.

The third prince was born by Xiao Guifei, because the emperor has been pampering Xiao Guifei for a long time, and Xiao Guifei was born in the Anguo Mansion with high power, so there are also some people in the court who support the abolition of the crown prince and let the third prince be the prince. This group of people jumped up and down, the power coerced money to attract official positions and lure, and they did everything they could, and this time Master Zhao was impeached, they also made a fuss.

The fourth prince and the fifth prince were all born to low-class concubines, although their mothers were still there, they did not show their statements, and there was no effective support from outsiders, so the call for the heirs was not loud.

With the three princes and the prince fighting in the ring, there are clear factions in this court, namely the prince's faction headed by the Qian family of the Luguo Mansion, the three princes' faction headed by the Xiao family of the Anguo Mansion, and a large number of centrists who did not stand in line.

If you talk about the power of the two national mansions alone, the Lu Guogong Mansion and the Anguo Mansion are comparable in reputation, but in terms of strength, the Lu Guogong Mansion is inferior to the Anguo Mansion more than a notch.

The Lu Guogong Mansion has been passed down from generation to generation, and there is only one son in each generation, although the son of Lu Guogong has given birth to three sons, the eldest and the second have disappeared one after another, leaving only a loafer and idle third child who is still alive, but it is always the three diseases and seven disasters of today's matter and tomorrow's thing.

The Guogong Mansion started with military exploits, and the huge Guogong Mansion has no men, just like there is a good bow but no arrows, even if the shelf is big, there is no male who can hold the military power, it is in vain.

But the Anguo Mansion is a completely different situation, the Anguo Mansion is particularly capable of giving birth, there are eight males in the Anguo Gong's generation, and each male can also give birth to several boys at the bottom, and the tree is a big branch, the descendants of the Anguo Mansion have dozens of males, and there are countless who can go to the battlefield.

In such a comparison, it seems that the Lu Guogong Mansion has no chance of winning at all, but in fact, when the Anguo Mansion was almost successful step by step, the Anguo Mansion's sworn enemy, Dingguo Mansion, stood in the prince's faction and became the mainstay of it.

The Luguo Mansion has a famous name, the Dingguo Mansion has military power, and the Anguo Mansion has both, so together, in fact, the two sides are evenly matched. Therefore, on this road to succession, the balance has been re-established, and in order to increase its own strength, the wave of pulling all forces to take sides is also increasing.

The originally neutral Zhao Mansion was affected in this wave of standing in line, and the wave was ruthless, which made Master Zhao very embarrassed. To be continued
