Chapter 206: Misfortune Leads to the East
An Wei has been busy with official business recently, and he is busy getting along with Ling Qingyun, so the polo has been delayed. Finally, he decided to go down, and An Dong also sent someone to sue Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen likes to watch Ancang play very much.
Polo is also Zhao Zhen's biggest hobby.
Zhao Zhen was very excited when he found out, and specially came to find Ling Qingyun, preparing to ask Ling Qingyun to go with him.
She thought that it would take a lot of speech to move Ling Qingyun, but she didn't think that Ling Qingyun was planning to go out.
"Yes." Ling Qingyun said, "I'm about to go." β
Zhao Zhen gave Jing a salute, said a few kind words, and followed Ling Qingyun out of the door.
When Ling Qingyun was leaving, she said to her mother, "Mother, don't stay long at the old mansion, come back early." β
Jing smiled and said, "Mother still wants you to advise?" β
Ling Qingyun left.
She and Zhao Zhen took a carriage, Zhao Zhen was quite excited, and she talked a lot, chattering non-stop.
Somehow, Zhao Zhen took the initiative to talk about her fourth brother.
"Yesterday, the official family took Shiro to the palace." Zhao Zhen said to Ling Qingyun, a little puzzled, "My father and mother are very nervous, and my mother also said that she would send the rest of us to Cangzhou, I don't know why." β
Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen was very depressed.
She didn't know what was going on with her brother entering the palace, and she was very worried. Her parents were secretive about it.
Her relationship with An Dong will only be decided this year, and it is estimated that it will be a year or two before she leaves the cabinet.
If her parents and brothers were in Cangzhou, she would have to go back. Zhao Zhen was a little reluctant to go back, she was reluctant to Andong, let alone Ling Qingyun, and the bustling and lively capital.
"Shiro has already entered the palace?" Ling Qingyun asked rhetorically.
She didn't expect it so soon.
"Isn't it?" Zhao Zhen said.
Then, Zhao Zhen lowered his voice and asked Ling Qingyun: "Second sister, do you know why my Shiro entered the palace?" An Jiro must have heard about it, did he sue you? β
"Didn't my aunt sue you?" Ling Qingyun's eyes were slightly quiet, and there were wisps of caution passing by.
Zhao Zhen shook his head: "No." β
"I don't know." Ling Qingyun said.
Such a big matter, King Ji and Princess Ji hid it from the children in the family, there must be their considerations, Ling Qingyun is not good to rashly sue Zhao Zhen and disrupt the plan of King Ji's mansion.
"When we entered Beijing, I heard that the official family wanted to succeed our brother and make him the prince." Zhao Zhen said suddenly.
But the courtier said that even if he really wanted to succeed, he would be a step-nephew, and without the reason of step-brother, the matter would be over. Shiro's entry into the palace this time, does it have anything to do with this matter? β
Zhao Zhen and the emperor are cousins, and there is no next generation in their house, so there are no emperor's sons and nephews.
In this regard, Zhao Zhen is also quite keen.
"I don't know." Ling Qingyun said, still did not pick up Zhao Zhen's topic.
The matter is very important, Ling Qingyun felt that it was still necessary to respect the considerations of King Ji's Mansion, and not to make rash remarks.
Therefore, Ling Qingyun's reaction was a little indifferent, and she hardly answered.
Zhao Zhen only has a friend of the same age as Ling Qingyun, and it is impossible for her to say these words to her elders, so she can only confide in Ling Qingyun.
Zhao Zhen's words box was opened, and he could no longer close it: "There have been many precedents for the succession of this dynasty. Renzong passed the throne to his nephew Yingzong. But further back, Taizu passed the throne to Taizong, but it was passed down from brother to brother.
Taizu had no sons, but he had nephews, but he still ceded the throne to his younger brother Taizong. In this way, there is a precedent to follow when the throne is ceded to a brother.
The official family took Shiro into the palace, did he want to give up the throne to Shiro? β
Ling Qingyun understood why King Ji and his wife refused to tell the truth to the children.
Zhao Zhen's personality really can't hide things. She is bold by nature, and the words in her stomach cannot be hidden.
"Shh Ling Qingyun took Zhao Zhen's hand, "The throne is not a cup of rice porridge, just give it away!" There is a lot involved in this, you don't have to talk nonsense, be careful of being listened to by someone with a heart. β
Zhao Zhen smiled: "Let's talk about it, what are you afraid of?" β
"Don't say it!" Ling Qingyun stopped her, "Don't say anything until the matter is successful." β
Zhao Zhen glanced at Ling Qingyun suspiciously.
She thought about Ling Qingyun's words, and sure enough, she didn't say more.
King Ji probably knew that this matter involved all forces, and he couldn't reveal the slightest tone from King Ji's mansion for the time being.
The official family has uncles, distant nephews, and many cousins.
And the throne is the top of power, how many people have fought with their lives to chase it, how can they give it away lightly?
King Ji was afraid that his family would be used because of this, so it was better to send them back to Cangzhou and stay away from the whirlpool of the capital for the time being.
Even if Shiro really succeeds to the throne, it will be impossible for him to govern himself within a few years, and he will still be controlled by powerful ministers at that time, and it will still be difficult for King Ji's Mansion to be peaceful.
Leaving this maelstrom of power is the best option.
"It's going to change." Ling Qingyun thought to herself.
Chaos is easy to get out of power.
Ling Qingyun thought of her younger brother and said that An Wei was about to fall into power. Perhaps, this is the opportunity for Anea, right?
Ansu is the emperor's most trusted minister, so he must be the future minister of the orphan.
This laid the foundation for An Wei to take power in the future.
"The official family won't last long." Ling Qingyun said in her heart. She had seen the official several times, and judging from his complexion, the mass in his skull was irreversible.
The official family only has a few months to live.
However, Ling Qingyun didn't take the pulse, and her current estimate is still a preference.
Perhaps the official family has a shorter life span than she expected.
Ling Qingyun couldn't tell what kind of mood it was.
"The official family has always known how the queen died. He doesn't take revenge, and he can't do anything. This time, he probably wants to fight to break the net, right? Ling Qingyun thought to herself.
"It's just that the harem is the power of the Queen Mother, and it is difficult for the official family to intervene. If you want to secretly harm the Queen Mother, it is even more difficult. Ling Qingyun thought again.
At the beginning, Lu Xuan was in the harem for seven years, thinking that the queen mother did not care about the world when she fasted and recited Buddha, so she thought that she occupied the time.
But the Queen Mother still killed Lu Yu under her noses; Then, he killed Lu Xuan quietly.
It can be seen how deep the water in the harem is.
The Queen Mother has been in the palace for more than 50 years, and her whole life has been in the harem, where her world is unbreakable.
Everywhere, the Queen Mother has been on guard for a long time. Either surrender to her or die.
Lu Xuan still underestimated the enemy in the end.
Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and it is very difficult to harm the queen mother in the harem.
When she arrived at the polo field, Ling Qingyun was still thinking about this matter in her heart, and her mind was uncertain.
An Wei waited for her in the private room.
Ling Qingyun and Zhao Zhen went directly to Anxiao's private room to find him.
"Coming?" An Wei was already wearing a bow robe and long boots on his feet, dressed up properly, waiting for the end.
He has handsome eyebrows and a flamboyant bearing.
Seeing Zhao Zhen, An Wei frowned slightly, a little thinking that she was in the way.
But Zhao Zhen is An Dong's fiancΓ©e, and she will also be a member of the An family in the future, so An Wei can't be so indifferent to others to drive her away, so he has to suppress his displeasure.
"Are we late?" Ling Qingyun took the initiative to speak and asked An Wei, "When will it start?" β
An Wei glanced at the venue below and said, "There is still half an hour, and the last one below will be over." When they're over, we start. β
Ling Qingyun sighed.
She sat down with Zhen Niang.
Zhao Zhen stuck out his tongue and smiled silently, very interesting.
Ling Qingyun said a few words to An Wei.
The little servant came up with hot tea, and An Wei took the initiative to take the teapot and poured a cup for Ling Qingyun.
The hot tea is curling and the tea fragrance is long.
Then, he handed the teapot to the little guy and asked the little guy to pour tea for Zhao Zhen and himself.
Ling Qingyun was talking, and she didn't pay attention to this stubble, and An Wei also did it naturally, very naturally, only Zhao Zhen pursed her lips and snickered.
"I won today, do you have any jackpots?" Ling Qingyun asked suddenly.
Every time they play, they set up a jackpot.
"It's a fight with the nine kings, so naturally there is a good luck. Twenty horses from the Western Regions, plus three good guns. An Wei said.
The Nine Kings are the King of Yue, the only remaining siblings of the emperor.
"Oh." Ling Qingyun smiled, not paying much attention to this.
Horses and spears, Ling Qingyun was not interested.
However, Ling Qingyun also knew that horses were hard to find, especially the good horses of the Western Regions, which were even more expensive and very expensive.
Today's lottery is very big.
"King Yue is going to enter the palace tomorrow, and the official family specially invited Hongru from the Hanlin Academy to teach him and the four captains of King Ji's Mansion to study." An Wei added.
Ling Qingyun immediately understood.
Zhao Zhen was slightly stunned.
Then, without saying anything more, the drums sounded downstairs.
An Wei got up, picked up his cane and went downstairs.
"Second sister, it turns out that not only my Shiro has entered the palace?" Zhao Zhen whispered to Ling Qingyun.
If only the fourth lieutenant enters the palace, then the courtiers' attacks will be in King Ji's Mansion and the fourth lieutenant, and there will even be someone secretly dealing with the child.
The emperor pulled King Yue in, so he invisibly gave everyone two guesses.
They will fight first to relieve the pressure on the emperor.
The emperor can't hate that the more chaotic the government, the better!
"Second sister, what the hell do you say is going on?" Zhao Zhen was still muttering beside Ling Qingyun, "Does the official family want to bring trouble to the east and let our King Ji's Mansion come to block the enemy for King Yue?" β
Zhao Zhen is also quite sensitive to politics.
When her father and brother talked about politics, if she happened to be in front of her, they wouldn't have let her avoid it.
Zhao Zhen felt that the emperor let King Yue and the fourth Taiwei enter the palace and released the words that he wanted to give the throne to his brother, so that King Yue would succeed to the throne, and he pulled the fourth Taiwei and the Ji Wangfu behind the fourth Taiwei to make an appearance, which was nothing more than to protect King Yue.
In this way, King Ji's Mansion can share half of the resistance of the courtiers!
In Zhao Zhen's view, King Yue and the emperor were brothers, while Zhao Zhen's younger brother and the emperor were just cousins.
If the emperor wants to give up the throne, he will definitely give it to King Yue, not the fourth captain.
The emperor took the fourth lieutenant into the palace, which was nothing more than to make the courtiers mistakenly think that the emperor might choose the fourth lieutenant, so as to divert attention.
This made Zhao Zhen very angry.
Ling Qingyun looked at Zhao Zhen silently.
Zhao Zhen's eyes turned red because of dissatisfaction, and his clear eyes also frowned with anger.
Ling Qingyun was still silent.
