The queen fell "ill".

The news soon spread in the capital. Although the unified theory on the side of the Tai Hospital is that the queen was accidentally infected with a cold, there are not many people in the government and the opposition who believe it. Even if the queen mother, the emperor and the Xie family do not want to make it public, the Jiang family, as the bitter master, will inevitably complain among relatives and friends, especially those who have not been regarded as a thorn in the side of the queen, but have their own ideas. In addition, although Jiang Xie's two families did not get a clear decree before, they also hinted to relatives and friends that they had publicly made some preparations for marriage, and now that the matter is gone, there must be a reason. When relatives and friends asked, the parties didn't want to say it, but there were always insiders who couldn't help but say it. There are also the concubines and concubines who live with them in Cining Palace, the royal relatives of the clan who want to send beauties into the palace, and the Anyang Marquis Mansion, which can be regarded as half of the insiders, there are some rumors one after another. In the elite circle in the capital, although no one openly talked about the "illness" of the queen's mother, they exchanged glances with each other in private, and they knew each other.

A few days later, news spread: the emperor saw that the imperial history participated in the performance of the misconduct of the eldest prince of the Marquis of Anyang, and he was furious on the spot, and specially summoned the Marquis of Anyang to reprimand him. As a punishment for the incompetence of the Marquis of Anyang, his marquis was demoted to the rank of earl, which was already the lowest rank of hereditary lord, and there was no need to think about the question of whether he had a son or not - all his sons lost the possibility of inheriting the title. It is said that when Anyang Hou returned home, he beat up his eldest son who had been locked up at home for several days, and dragged his injured eldest son to the ancestral hall to make amends to his ancestors.

The eldest prince of the Hou Mansion of Anyang has been prodigal for several years, but although he has a bad reputation, he has never really done any evil, at most he is greedy and lustful. Among the high-ranking families in the capital, there are several who are more unbearable than him, and there have always been imperial histories staring at them, and the emperor actually only looked at the eldest prince of the Marquis of Anyang for a seizure, which is really a bit weird. People outside the palace are more and more convinced that the rumors are true, and for those who dare to help the queen and the queen mother, the emperor and Jiang Xie go against the two families, he was just beaten and lost his title, and he was already considered lucky.

A little pawn is still like this, and the queen mother, who is the culprit, is naturally the object of everyone's attention.

After hearing the ins and outs of this incident, almost everyone felt that the queen was dying, and few people sympathized with her experience, but some people began to be ready to move - if the emperor and queen fell out of harmony and the queen fell out of favor, does that mean that the emperor will no longer insist on not accepting concubines? And if the queen's throne is not guaranteed, then the position of the emperor's eldest son and the emperor's second son will naturally not be so stable. If a newly canonized concubine gives birth to an heir, then there is still a good hope for a throne, right?

Many people who want to send women to the palace are making this calculation, how could they let go of such a great opportunity? Just as they were gearing up and trying to write again to ask the emperor to take a concubine, an edict from the emperor gave them a basin of cold water: he ordered the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the ceremony.

The emperor wants to establish a prince, and he clearly says that he wants to make the emperor's eldest son a prince. The ministers who are more stable and loyal to the monarch in the court all feel that this is a great thing, and the state has a prince, which means that the overall situation is stable, even if the emperor has a good or bad one, there will not be no successor. But for selfish and ambitious people, this is not good. The storage position has not been determined for a day, and they can still send their daughters to the palace, striving to give birth to heirs as soon as possible and gain wealth and wealth. However, once the throne is established, as long as the prince is not at fault, no matter how good the other princes are, they will not be able to shake the position of the prince. If you have to fight, you have to take a huge risk, and if you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent. This invisibly increases the cost of their wealth. Some people began to hesitate, and there were a lot fewer people shouting that the emperor should recruit the harem and spread out the branches.

However, some people talk about it, saying that the eldest son of the emperor is still young, and it is too hasty to set up a prince now, so it is better to wait for the eldest son of the emperor to become an adult in a few years. When the first emperor established the prince, he had several sons; When the king of Guangping became the crown prince, he was also nearly thirty years old; Today's saint is also after he got married and had children as an adult. The prince, who was only canonized at this age, basically has a good ability to govern, and his temperament and conduct are relatively stable, and he has a wife and children, which means that there are successors, and if there are good seedlings in his son, it is even more reassuring. For example, the first emperor was able to successfully defeat King Ying, who was deeply favored by Emperor Taizu, and was made the crown prince, because he had two good sons. The eldest son of the emperor is only eleven or twelve years old, and he has not even officially participated in the government affairs, and he doesn't know what his ability is, let alone whether he can give birth to an heir who has the ability to take over the throne, how can he be assured of making him the prince?

There are many discussions in the DPRK and China, some people think that it is good to save as soon as possible, some people think that it is not too late to wait a few more years to slowly look at it, and some people muddy the waters, saying that only two princes are too few, it is better to wait for a few more princes to be born, and then choose one of the best children? Of course, how to give birth to a few more princes, the method has to be discussed separately - and then there is a polite old minister who blows his beard and glares back: "The eldest son of the emperor is both a grandson and a long, intelligent and courteous candidate, and he is a natural candidate for the prince, even if there is a prince next to him, it is impossible to cross him, what else do you choose?" Where do you put the ancestral rituals in your words?! ”

There was a quarrel in the court, and the emperor didn't care, so they could quarrel, as long as they didn't miss the right thing. The Ministry of Rites wants to prepare for the ceremony, and it is not possible to prepare it in March or May. With the importance that the emperor attaches to this matter, it will take a year or two to prepare, to say the least. The situation of the eldest son of the emperor is different from that of the previous princes of this dynasty, and it will take a lot of time to seriously discuss some detailed arrangements. Isn't the day going to be long? The emperor was relieved to let the ministers of the court discuss, and there were fewer people who would mention the concubine to him, so he happened to have his free hand and personally teach the two princes. When the quarrel is over, his son will also be trained, and it will be okay to establish a prince at that time.

Zhao Xiu naturally heard about this excitement in the court, and discussed it with the Zhang family in private. Zhang's ideology is orthodox, and when he heard that he was going to establish a prince, he naturally wanted to clasp his palms and praise: "There is a successor to the royal family, which is a blessing for my Great Chu Dynasty." Zhao Xiu slandered in her heart: The queen really had the intention to plot against Jiang Wen, not that she thought too much, as a queen, she was still such a small chicken, she had nothing to block people, and now she deserved such an end.

The queen made such a mistake, and the emperor was angry, but he still decided to establish a prince in advance, which shows that the attitude of the eldest son of the emperor on this matter should be satisfactory to the emperor. Zhao Xiu guessed that although he didn't know how the eldest son of the emperor thought of the queen's behavior, Gao Zhen had asked the emperor to appoint the emperor's eldest son as the prince, and the emperor was really established, and the eldest son of the emperor had to read this kindness no matter what, and it was impossible to embarrass the father and son of King Guangping because of a few bad words from the queen. Gao Zhen: Their crisis is temporarily resolved, right?

Zhao Xiu secretly wondered if he wanted to send a letter to Gao Zhen and ask him if he had solved the previous problem? She could only listen to the gossip outside, but the truth was not clear. I had the heart to ask Jiang Wen, but Jiang Wen hadn't heard from her side for several days, and I didn't know what to do.

Zhao Xiu was worried about this, and suddenly heard Zhang saying: "It's a happy event to establish a prince, Sister Xiu, do you think I want to go into the palace to congratulate the Queen Mother?" ”

Zhao Xiu hurriedly woke up: "Grandmother, don't be busy congratulating first, the matter of establishing a prince has just begun, and I don't know that the Year of the Monkey can really be established." The Queen Mother just sulked, but I was afraid that she was still angry. You congratulated her without a head, and the queen's son was made the prince, and I don't know what the queen mother will think. ”

Hearing this, Zhang frowned: "Not really, right?" Although the eldest son of the emperor is the son of the queen, he is also the grandson of the queen mother? Or...... I won't congratulate you, just go and comfort a few words, it's okay, right? ”

Zhao Xiu thought about it and felt that it was okay: "You don't have to mention the recent rumors, just think that you have nothing to do and enter the palace to laugh with her." Coax her with some interesting facts from the outside, and it's best not to mention anything related to the Jiang family, the Xie family, and the Anyang Hou Mansion. "After a pause," Meishan Bofu didn't mention either. "Although Qiu Yuan is not mentioned in the rumors, if Jiang Wen is really plotted by the queen, judging from the fact that she has not been in the palace to meet the queen for so long, the most likely person to be calculated must be the time to drink wedding wine in Meishan Bofu. It just so happened that Qiu Yuan's behavior at that time was strange, wasn't it the right thing for Jing'er?

"What am I doing with his family?" As soon as Zhang heard about Meishan Bofu, he looked disappreciative, "His family is not familiar with us, and I don't know about his family." ”

Zhao Xiu laughed, thought about it, and went back to the room to write a letter to Jiang Wen. Although she is not an insider, she is good friends with Jiang Wen, and she has been corresponding, so she knows some inside information, so she naturally wants to say hello. Jiang Wen escaped other people's calculations this time, but the news still spread in the end, and the marriage with the Xie family was naturally stopped, but because she was implicated in the eldest son of Anyang Bofu, I don't know if it will damage her reputation.

Jiang Wen quickly replied. Her brushstrokes are still brisk, and it doesn't seem to be affected too much by the rumors, and she doesn't care much about her marriage with Xie Xiangfei - it was not the marriage partner her parents chose for her, but just an idea of the Queen Mother. Originally, for the benefit of the Jiang family, she married and married, but now she has a bad feeling for the queen, and she only feels that this marriage is extremely disgusting, how can she be willing to marry the Xie family? After the marriage was done, she felt relaxed. However, the rumors from the outside world are really disturbing, she discussed with her mother, and planned to go back to Tianjin in two days, and when the turmoil in Beijing subsided, it would not be too late to come back.

Jiang Wen has lived in Tianjin for many years, where she has many close friends. After returning to Beijing for more than half a year, she has been missing these friends and her father very much, and now she finally has the opportunity to go back to Tianjin to meet them, and she is happy in her heart.

Zhao Xiu couldn't help but sigh when he read the letter. I thought that after a few days, I would send Fang Renzhu away first, but I didn't expect Jiang Wen to leave too. The world is unpredictable. Zhao Xiu pondered, should he ask the exact time of the departure of the Jiang family's fourth room, and then go to send it off in person? Speaking of which, Jiang Wen and Fang Renzhu left Beijing about the same time, and there are few auspicious days suitable for traveling far away during this time, could it be on the same day?

Zhao Xiu immediately wrote to the Fang family and the Jiang family respectively, asking them about the time of their departure. When Fang Renzhu got the letter, she just opened it and read two lines of words, and the girl came to report: "Fifth girl, aunt and grandmother are back."
