682 Candidates for Succession

It is not terrible for a duke with a knighthood, but what is terrible is that this duke is also an outstanding general, and many people will sincerely follow him when he ascends to the heights.

No ruler wants such a courtier. I've always been worried about the high merit and shaking the master, isn't that it?

Zhong Liche is a fierce general, arranging troops to march and fight, and he is very skillful and capable. It is a pure waste for such a person not to remain on the battlefield, and the saint is well aware of this.

But if Zhongli Che inherits the title, he will either leave the battlefield or continue to fight with the title. The first choice was too much of a loss for the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the second choice was not allowed directly by the sage.

The saint was only afraid that he didn't want Zhongli to inherit the title, so he summoned the couple into the palace today. Obviously, Zhong Liche chose to inherit the knight rather than continue to be a military general. Now that Hua Liuniang is in this side hall, I am afraid that the saint is persuading Zhong Liche.

The queen and Princess Shuhua are both human spirits, so they can naturally see the meaning at a glance.

At the same time, because she could see the meaning, the queen was a little less jealous of Hua Tian and Zhong Li.

If Zhong Liche and the Hua family really supported King An in private, it would be impossible to refuse to accept the title. Of course, it is not excluded that there is the opposite approach, understanding that the saints will never let them inherit the title.

"General Zhenguo is a natural fierce general, if he stays away from the battlefield from now on, it will be a great loss for my Great Zhou Dynasty." The queen said with a sigh.

"The concubine also said this to the husband, but the husband said that he wanted to stay in the capital more and accompany the concubine." Hua Tian replied.

The queen glanced at Hua Tian and felt that she was a little ashamed. Although Zhong Li Che is really a fierce general who arranges troops. But you have to be humble anyway.

Princess Shuhua glanced at the queen and said with a smile, "Daddy is inside, maybe he can convince Thotho Wu." ”

Hearing this, the queen was even more dissatisfied.

She didn't understand why the old sage was so re-indulgent, and he was so picky instead of directly issuing orders.

Although Zhong Li Che is really capable, he is just a courtier, so can he persuade left and right like this?

She sat in the first place. No more sounds. Just drinking tea slowly.

Hua Tian lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to his eyes, and he didn't have the heart to talk to the queen.

This person doesn't like herself, and even suspects herself, she won't be bored with herself.

Princess Shuhua could see the atmosphere. She didn't like it to be so dull. So I said a few words from time to time. Sometimes it's with the queen, sometimes it's with Hua Tian.

But talking like this, the three of them don't feel very comfortable.

Finally Queen's Road. "You kid, talking like this makes everyone tired, so don't talk about it. Let's just sit here and wait for your father to come out. ”

"Queen Mother, you are too serious, and you still care about other people's talk." Princess Shuhua retorted with a grin, but then didn't say anything more.

After sitting for a while, the atmosphere became more serious.

Hua Tian simply started to be stunned, she remembered that when she first entered Beijing, she had the blue eyes of Princess Shuhua and became friends with Princess Shuhua. And now, it has come to such a field.

Alas, when politics is involved, friendship dies.

I don't know how long I sat there, but there was finally a sound of footsteps from the main hall, and then, as the footsteps approached, I could also hear the old saint's hearty laughter.

The expression on the queen's face immediately became smiling, and she looked at Hua Tian, "I've heard before that the Hua family's dim sum is from the hands of the county lord of Anning, and I didn't believe it at the time." Later, you married into the Zhenguo Mansion, and the Zhenguo Mansion also had a snack from then on, and this palace believed it. ”

"Liuniang is also blind by herself." Hua Tian said with a smile.

"You can figure out the famous dim sum in the capital even if you are foolish, and the county lord of Anning is really smart." The queen laughed.

Princess Shuhua looked at the queen, frowned slightly, and quickly stretched out again, and said with a smile, "Liuniang is naturally smart, she is not only good at poetry, but also very good at making snacks and meals." ”

At this time, the old sage and Zhong Liche walked in together, and when they heard Princess Shuhua's words, the old sage laughed, "Shuhua is right, the county lord of Anning is both talented and beautiful. ”

The queen, Princess Shuhua and Hua Tian hurriedly stood up to salute.

The old sage obviously had a good temperament, and laughed, "No need to be polite, get up." Today, everyone will eat together in the palace. ”

Although the old sage said that there was no need to be polite, Hua Tian still got up after bowing.

Looking at the old sage's happy mood, it was clear that he had achieved his goal. Hua Tian glanced at Zhong Liche slightly, and saw that he nodded his head invisibly, and he was completely sure.

Although it is an honor to eat in the palace, it is too restrained, Zhong Liche smiled and said, "Thank you, the saint, but the minister has other important matters, I'm afraid I can't accompany the saint to eat." ”

The old sage didn't mind, and waved his hand, "If you really have something, go ahead." ”

He proposed to eat because he was in a good mood, and Zhong Li Che didn't want to stay, and he didn't mind.

Zhong Li Che and Hua Tian hurriedly saluted and said goodbye, and then the couple left at the same time.

After leaving the palace gate and sitting in the carriage, Hua Tian completely relaxed, next to Zhong Liche, and asked him, "Who does the saint want?" ”

"He asked us to elect, saying that if we elected, we could accept a favor." Zhongli replied.

Hua Tian thought of the people in the Zhenguo Mansion and sighed, "If you choose someone who is truly kind-hearted, you can accept our love." If you don't choose much, maybe you still complain about us behind your back......"

It's not that they have inherited the knighthood, but that they complain about the existence of her and Zhong Liche. Moreover, once it was rumored outside that she and Zhong Liche had let them inherit the title, they would definitely wish that there would be no her and Zhong Liche in this world.

"It's okay, it's a big deal, let's leave the Guogong Mansion and return to the General's Mansion." Zhongli didn't care.

Leaving the Zhenguo Mansion, Hua Tian didn't have to be so tired.

Hua Tian thought for a moment and nodded, "That's right." ”

She used to have the intention to control the Zhenguo Mansion, but now she is in charge of the Zhenguo Mansion, and the title has also been passed to Zhong Liche, but Zhong Liche doesn't want it. It can be said that they have already gained control, but they just don't want to control it.

"I'm just worried that if you can't be the Duchess of Zhenguo, will you feel unhappy." Zhong Li Che touched Hua Tian's face. Soft channel.

If you are born as a man, you should make meritorious contributions and seal your wife and son. He is now the general of Zhenguo, and his status is not as noble as that of Zhenguogong.

"No, you're sure you'll be able to give me a better one in the future. Even if I can't, I still have a son. Hua Tian didn't care.

She wants power, just so that she will not be bullied, not to look up to others, and not to let the tragedy of that life repeat. Whether she really wants to go above 10,000 people under one person, she doesn't mind much.

"You are my wife. Naturally, I earned it for you. Zhongli hugged Hua Tian contentedly. So said.

The two were sweet for a while, and began to discuss which one to push out to inherit the knighthood.

Before returning to the Zhenguo Mansion, the couple had a candidate. The third uncle Zhongli was also born to the Duchess of Lao Zhenguo, and it was just right to recommend him and the third lady.

The two of them did not change their clothes. came back, and went directly to see the old town Guogong and his wife, as well as Zhong Lide.

"What? You don't take the title. Inherited by the third elder? The old town prince was surprised.

The Duchess of Lao Zhenguo was also a little puzzled. The title of the Duke of the Kingdom is from a product and has a noble status. She couldn't have imagined that Zhong Li Che would be reluctant to accept the title.

Her eyes looked at Hua Tian. Seeing Hua Tian's calm face and a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, he knew that Hua Tian definitely didn't want to accept the title.

"I prefer the battlefield to the Guogong Mansion." Zhong Liche said in a deep voice, "The third uncle is also from his grandmother, and he has worked hard all these years, so it is also appropriate for him to inherit the title." ”

Listening to Zhong Liche's words, the eyes of the old Zhenguo Duchess became wet, "What's so good about the battlefield...... Iniquity......"

She remembered that the young Zhongli had betrayed the Zhenguo Mansion without hesitation, and went to the northwest alone to enter the battlefield.

At that time, she was afraid and regretful, what she was afraid of was that Zhong Liche died on the battlefield and would never come back, and what she regretted was that she shouldn't have let the Shi family straighten up, and she shouldn't have let Zhong Lide treat Zhong Liche's biological mother badly.

But no matter how much she feared and regretted, Zhong Liche had already left, and in the Northwest Realm, life and death were unknown.

Later, Zhong Li Che survived, his prestige grew, and he was increasingly valued by the saints, and finally was named the general of Zhenguo.

She knew that this title was for the Zhenguo Mansion, but she was not angry at all. As long as she, the eldest grandson, lives, she doesn't have anything extravagant.

However, God favored her after all, Zhong Liche had a deep love for the little lady of the Hua family, and the Hua family was a scholarly family, valued reputation, and would never let Hua Liuniang marry someone with a damaged reputation.

She didn't know how happy she was when she learned that Zhong Li Che had asked the old sage for marriage. As long as the Hua family is determined, Zhong Liche will definitely have to return to the Zhenguo Mansion.

After that, although there were twists and turns, she finally achieved what she wanted.

But now, she obviously has a better dukeship, but her grandson doesn't want it, and she still has to return to the dangerous battlefield.

Zhong Lide looked at Zhong Liche, "Are you still complaining about me?" Even if you complain about me, you have to think about your wife and children, you are on the battlefield, aren't you afraid that they will be afraid? ”

He said, looking at Hua Tian.

Zhong Liche held Hua Tian's hand, "It's one thing whether I complain about you or not. But Tian'er, she will support me in whatever I do. ”

Hua Tian nodded, "My husband is used to that kind of life, I don't want him to have to think about it for decades to come, and then regret it." Moreover, I believe that my husband will definitely come back alive. ”

"Liuniang, you are still young, and you don't know how cruel the battlefield is. Persuade him to stop going. The tooth hasn't grown yet, and the one in your belly is about to be born. The Duchess of Lao Zhenguo looked at Hua Tian and said anxiously.

If there is anyone in the world who can stop Zhong Liche, it is none other than Hua Tian. But now that even Hua Tian supports Zhong Liche, Zhong Liche will definitely not listen to their persuasion.

"Grandmother, I like that my husband can choose what he likes to do, and don't regret it when he dies in the future." Hua Tian clenched Zhong Liche's hand and said to the Duchess of Lao Zhenguo.

The corners of Zhong Liche's mouth curled, and he took Hua Tian's hand back.

He knew that she would support him.

Seeing the little couple looking at each other and smiling, Lao Zhen Guogong and Zhong Lide both knew that the general trend had gone, and they couldn't change anything.

"Are you sure now?" The old town prince looked at Zhong Liche and asked.

Zhong Li Che nodded, he was very sure, "I have made up my mind, and I also ask my grandfather and grandmother to discuss with my father whether the third uncle is suitable." If the third uncle is suitable, I will go to the palace and make it clear to the saint at that time. ”

"There's no need to discuss, it's the third child." The Duchess of the Old Town was the first to speak.

Since he is not his eldest grandson, he will give it to his third son, no matter how it is said, it also comes out of her belly, and he wants to be closer than the others.

Zhong Lide was silent, obviously with the same thoughts as the old Duchess of Zhenguo. No matter what Uncle Zhongli said, he is also his brother-in-law, and he still prefers this younger brother.

It's just that he couldn't help but think of Zhongli Erlang, he originally wanted to inherit the Zhenguo Mansion, but now that Zhongli Che doesn't want it, it still won't be his turn.

Zhong Lide thought about it, feeling a little lucky, fortunately Erlang had already left the capital, otherwise he didn't know how desperate he would be when he saw the title being given to his third uncle.

In all fairness, Zhong Lide never thought of handing over the title to his second son, although he connived at Shi's suppression of his wife, but in his mind, Zhong Liche's status was far inferior to Zhong Lierlang's.

Lao Zhen Guogong nodded, "Then the third child." ”

He is also old, and he will not live for many years, and he can't see what will happen to the Zhenguo Mansion in the future.

However, his gaze swept over Hua Tian, and he still had a sudden burst in his heart, and immediately made up his mind, if he let the third son inherit the title, he must warn the third son that he must be good friends with the Hua family.

Seeing that the results had been discussed, Zhong Li said, "In this case, after the next day, I will tell the saint about it." Tian'er and I went to the palace today, and I was tired at the moment, so I went back first. ”

"Let's go, Liuniang has a good rest." The Duchess of Lao Zhenguo was in a low mood, and she was always immersed in Zhong Li's unforeseen fantasies.

Hua Tian gave a salute, and then left with Zhong Liche.

The two walked hand in hand in the garden, Zhong Liche said with some regret, "You must be tired after tossing for most of the day." I was going to carry you back, but my son is in your belly, and I don't dare to carry it. ”

"With such an idea, I don't need you to carry it." Hua Tian laughed, "Also, why are you sure that my baby is pregnant with Xiao Langjun, not a little lady?" ”

"I like both Xiao Langjun and Little Lady, as long as you give birth to them, I like them." Zhong Li Che quickly leaned over and kissed Hua Tian on the face.

Hua Tian was suddenly attacked by a sneak attack, her face turned red, she quickly looked left and right, and when she saw that no one was there, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said angrily, "How dare you come nonsense?" ”

She is in charge of the house, and she has to maintain her majesty. If someone bumps into her and Zhongli Cheru being so close outside, the majesty that she created before will be gone.

"I don't come nonsense, I come from the heart." Zhong Li Che said seriously.

The little lady in front of him, from appearance to temperament, is all right to his appetite, so that he loves him so much that he doesn't know what to do.

Sometimes he can't help but want to thank God for letting him meet such a person and promise life and death with this person.

Hearing this, Hua Tian held Zhong Liche's hand and used his strength fiercely. This person is thick-skinned, and he is not shy. (To be continued......)
