Chapter 92
Within two days, Xiao Ruihua was dispatched out of the capital in the name of inspecting the salt administration in Jiangnan on behalf of the emperor.
When the princes heard that Xiao Ruihua was inspecting the salt administration, they were a lot more relieved.
The stone of the two Huai River embankments was stolen and replaced, and most of them should know it. The princes are gearing up, ready for the final blow.
King Zhao, who was originally very active in the capital, was very unhappy recently, rarely going out, and often stared at the plaque of King Zhao's mansion in a daze.
"I said, Your Royal Highness, what are you worried about?"
"Jiang Lao Er, what do you say this king is worried about?"
"How can I have the heart to care about your business, Lord Wang?" Jiang Erye, who was called to King Zhao's mansion, looked unhappy, "I'm almost annoyed to death right now, a head is at least three big, it's really sad!" ”
King Zhao poured himself a drink and asked, "What are you bothered about?" ”
"Not my old man? There is no such tossing of people, don't you know that my old man and the county lord of Jiamin have a small quarrel for three days, a big quarrel for five days, and almost staged a full martial arts walk two days ago, how old are the people? I don't accept old age at all, and I still feel young. I didn't let the old man play with a big knife. ”
Jiang Erye remembered the matter of the family and the lawsuit, in the past, the old lady Jiamin County Lord could still play with the concubine and provoke the concubine and daughter-in-law, but now there is only one room left in the Hou Mansion, and the old lady Jiamin County Lord handed over the housekeeper and the general affairs to the second wife of the prince, and she had no time to play, so she played with the old man all day long.
The two of them used to not meet and didn't talk, but now...... I can't wait to make up for the quarrels and quarrels that have been delayed for more than ten or twenty years before.
The most headache for Jiang Erye is that those two quarrel and quarrel, but they like to drag Jiang Erye to judge.
"The prince hasn't been playing outside recently, and so am I, but it's not that I don't want to play, but I can't get out, I can't toss my pregnant daughter-in-law to the old lady Jiamin County Lord, for the sake of the future little grandson, I ...... I had to smash my teeth and swallow it. ”
King Zhao listened and listened, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "It's fun to talk to you Jiang Er, I didn't call you in vain." ”
Jiang Erye took a sip of wine and ate a lot of food, the food in the palace was more exquisite than that in the Hou Mansion, "I envy the prince, the emperor lives in the palace, you just go to the palace for ten days and a half months, and the emperor has to call you filial, but what about me?" I had to face the old man and my mother all day...... Endlessly, I complained to others, and they said that I had no conscience. Those two...... Forget it, forget it, count what I owe them. ”
"If this king enters the palace too much, there will be no leisurely life to live now." King Zhao's eyes were introverted and deep, "If this king is not King Zhao, what do you say this king is like?" ”
"What else? Like the current princes, he has a bitter gourd face, which is very boring. ”
"Haha."
King Zhao patted the wine table with his hand, "Okay, well said, bitter gourd face?!" Isn't it just not a bitter gourd face? always wants to get the news of the East Palace, and hangs the matter of Jiangnan, and is always ready to give the other party a fatal blow, and he has to pose as a brother and a brother in front of his father. It's so tiring to live, can your face not be bitter? ”
"But ......"
The corners of King Zhao's mouth were a little more bitter, "There are also many people who have escaped from the sea of bitterness and want to 'suffer'"
King Zhao drank the wine in the cup angrily, raised his head, and muttered: "They are all phoenix sons and dragon grandchildren, why can they do it, but I can't?" I didn't see the opportunity before, I felt that I was doing well, but now the prince is afraid that it will be ...... No, why can this king only sit in King Zhao's mansion and drink now? ”
Born as princes, it was instinct for them to compete for the throne.
Even if King Zhao, who was abandoned by the emperor early, faced the situation in front of him, there was a burst of irrepressible ambition in his heart, knowing that he couldn't win the rest of the brothers, but he still couldn't help but want to give it a try.
The temptation to the throne is too great.
The authority to rule the world is an irresistible temptation for every child of the clan.
If you hold the supreme power, you can manipulate others as you like, condemn people to life and death, and the world can only kowtow in front of the emperor.
If you don't ascend to a high position, your life, life, and wealth will not be guaranteed.
Those who have lived in the royal family know this all too well.
Second Master Jiang finally understood King Zhao's distress, and listened to Yaoyao's meaning, his son-in-law Zhao Duoze has not been very honest recently, and his ambition is 'misbeneficial'. Second Master Jiang wanted to persuade his son-in-law not to think about those things that he couldn't get at all, the emperor has several princes, even if the princes are dead, there are still grandchildren...... It couldn't be his turn.
If the military admonishes and usurps the throne, it will always be unjustifiable, and then the world will be in chaos.
Jiang Erye did not have the mentality of worrying about the country and the people, but simply did not like his son-in-law to be a rebel minister who usurped the country, and was cursed by later generations.
Son-in-law Zhao Duoze is becoming more and more hypocritical in front of outsiders, more and more like a politician vying for power, and he is a little better in the face of Jiang Erye. Second Master Jiang couldn't stop his son-in-law, and he hated the old widow of Yangmen even more in his heart, if she hadn't made her son-in-law feel weak, she would have been manipulated, and her son-in-law wouldn't want to be a person who couldn't be manipulated by anyone.
Can you become a person with power in the world, will you be very happy?
I'm afraid it may not be.
Second Master Jiang couldn't say this.
Second Master Jiang looked at King Zhao, who was depressed and couldn't get relief, and said, "Because you are King Zhao, you drink in King Zhao's mansion." ”
King Zhao laughed insolently, "Jiang Laoer, it is indeed right that I asked you to drink together." ”
"Today we will not be drunk and will not return." King Zhao slapped open the wine jar and poured the wine into the wine glass, "You say, what is Prince Yan thinking?" If he didn't fight back then, his son didn't die, once the East Palace changed, no one else could compete with him. ”
Second Master Jiang shrugged his shoulders, "If I were Prince Yan, I wouldn't think about anything......"
"Oh?" King Zhao asked with interest, "Don't want anything?" ”
"I can't say that I don't want to say anything, but I don't think about what the princes think about now." Second Master Jiang scratched the hair on his head in distress, "I will think about what I will do in the future?" I died, who gave me a sacrifice to burn paper. ”
"Huh." King Zhao couldn't help laughing, "I can't figure out what happened before, who knows what happened after death?" ”
"The prince has both children and daughters, so naturally he won't worry about what happens behind him. Those who do not have sons are most afraid that no one will offer incense. ”
"But now he only has the title of Prince Yan, except for the title of prince, there is nothing, his father has completely ignored him, and even he is worse than me, so the king can still enter the palace from time to time to see his father, Prince Yan has been closed for so long, and his father has not asked him a word. After all...... Although he lost his two sons in the Changjie tragedy at that time, he also made the matter big enough, and his father did not treat him as a prince for a long time. ”
When King Zhao heard Jiang Erye say this, he became more and more sympathetic to Prince Yan, who had no children and no daughters, guarding an empty palace, what was the meaning of life?
Prince Yan is different from King Zhao, in the early years, he was also the best prince of the emperor, and he was the eldest son, and his biological mother was posthumously named the queen, he is the only one among the princes who can compare with the prince, and now the battle is so fierce outside, but Prince Yan can only be trapped in the four corners...... He was unwilling.
But what if you are not reconciled?
He didn't have the slightest chance at all.
Jiang Erye said: "Although the children sometimes make you hate them and want to stuff them back into the belly of your wife, there is no one around you to speak, and they are also very lonely and lonely. ”
"Prince Yan is ...... now," King Zhao sighed, "It's not that he can't succeed the sons of the other brothers as heirs, but it's a pity that ......"
"Yes, it's a pity that he's useless, which prince is willing to pass on his son to Prince Yan?"
Second Master Jiang shook his head and said, "Besides, how many princes contributed to the tragedy on Long Street?" Even if the princes are willing, Prince Yan will not succeed in killing the son of his son's enemy. Prince Yan had long thought that no matter who ascended the throne, he would not be able to do well. The status of the eldest son of the emperor is a great enemy to every emperor, and even unknown clan children dare not mention the succession to his name. ”
Prince Yan's Mansion has no future.
The emperor is alive for a day, Prince Yan can enjoy a day, once the emperor drives the crane to the west, Prince Yan will inevitably accompany the emperor to the funeral.
The seizure of the heir is so tragic that the victor has no sympathy for the loser, and only revenge and revenge are left.
King Zhao's back was densely covered with a layer of cold sweat, and streams of coolness rushed into his brain from the soles of his shoes, and the cold air dispelled the thoughts in his mind, because he just thought about it, once he was unwilling to be lonely and stretched out his hand, not to mention whether he could succeed, once he offended the future emperor, he had to be the same as Prince Yan, without any future.
Prince Yan's son died, and he was the only one in the entire palace, but King Zhao's sons and daughters were in groups...... For the sake of an ethereal dream of the throne, King Zhao wants to put everything into it?
"Second Jiang, thank you."
King Zhao got up and bowed to the end, and the ambition that filled his eyes slowly disappeared unwillingly, "Thank you." ”
If it weren't for Jiang Erye's words, he might not be able to get out of this dead end.
Second Master Jiang touched his head again, did he say anything? Isn't it just to discuss the future of Prince Yan's Mansion?
"Lord Wang, you have tormented me, don't do this." Jiang Erye helped King Zhao up, "No matter how polite you are, I don't dare to come to the door." ”
King Zhao patted Jiang Erye's arm, keeping this kindness in his heart, saying too much to seem hypocritical, Jiang Erye's mention to him, he will naturally repay him in the future.
If King Zhao knew the way to repay Second Master Jiang in the future...... I don't know if I will regret it, but at that time, King Zhao didn't have a choice, even if he regretted it, he didn't have a choice, unless he wanted to watch the Ming Dynasty collapse and the people of the Central Plains fall into the flames of war.
King Zhao, who figured it out, looked a lot more relaxed when he drank again, and slowly tasted the taste of fine wine, "Jiang Er, your son-in-law has been in infinite beauty recently." ”
"Ah, it's alright, he's been too busy lately to drink with me." Jiang Erye was full of complaints, "Everyone said that he forgot his mother when he had a daughter-in-law, but he forgot his father-in-law because he had a magic camp, and the child was motivated, and you can't stop him, it can be seen that he is so busy that he hits the back of his head and doesn't know how to enjoy it, I ...... I looked uncomfortable. ”
"Your son-in-law also knows about the stone."
“……”
Second Master Jiang blinked his eyes and asked, "What do you know?" ”
"Jiang Er, are you still pretending to be stupid with this king?" King Zhao raised his hand and rewarded Jiang Erye with a slap in the face, "Your son-in-law is very smart, and your daughter is praised by you for being in the sky and not on the earth, if you don't know the calculations of others at this time, this king should be worried about you." ”
"Those are all things that smart people worry about, I don't want to know at all, and they won't tell me such difficult things, the prince doesn't know, am I most afraid of trouble? I can't help, it's better to be confused who doesn't know anything, and my daughter only let me play in the Hou Mansion recently, and no one should believe what others say. The rest...... My daughter didn't say anything. ”
Jiang Erye took a sip of wine and smacked his lips and said, "If it weren't for the prince inviting me to drink, I would still be playing birds in the mansion now." ”
Recently, Jiang Erye stopped playing with gnats, and changed to raising birds, although it was tuned! In terms of teaching birds, Jiang Erye can't compare to King Zhao, but Jiang Erye's ability to cultivate birds and finches has risen rapidly, and the few birds he has raised are good, and he has slowly learned to sing.
"Catch up with the king, and teach you two hands." King Zhao smiled casually, "When you raise your lark, this king will give you a good starling, a starling who can sing, talk, and chant poetry." ”
"Okay, good poetry."
Jiang Erye closed his saliva, "It's good to sing poetry, my daughter's favorite bird is poetry." ”
"You got good things from this king just to give your daughter?"
"What? Anyway, the prince gave it to me, and I will give it to whoever I like. ”
King Zhao smiled helplessly: "I'm afraid that the princess of King Qin won't have the heart to raise birds and sparrows anymore." ”
"Why did the prince say that?" Jiang Erye's face became formal, "What news did the prince hear?" ”
King Zhao thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "Put more living creatures around your daughter, it is impossible for the East Palace to have secrets, even the things that this king knows, the rest of the people know more, Princess Qin knows how to heal!" The illness of the prince of the East Palace is all due to Princess Qin. ”
"The step-concubine will not be like her own son in law, recently the prince of Qin has overwhelmed the son of Princess Qin, and the prince of Qin has been praised by the emperor several times, and Princess Qin is not necessarily happy in her heart. In the past, the princess of Qin was generous and loving, treated her concubines well, raised her own children, was filial to the concubine, and married a good wife, but she never heard that she had a bad treatment of the prince of Qin. Naturally, no one has a short mouth on her. ”
"It's different now, after Princess Qin married Queen Qin, only she was born, and the reason for this is quite evocative."
"The backyard of the children of the clan will never accept medical women, Jiang Lao Er, what are you saying? One is the humble status of the medical woman, and the other is that the back house has been competing for favor since ancient times, and everyone is afraid of folding the blood into it...... The man is afraid that he will fall into the way. ”
Second Master Jiang stood up all of a sudden and said in surprise, "You mean that Princess Qin knows how to heal?" So I'll give my daughter......"
"Your daughter has been married for more than half a year, and there has been no movement, aren't you in a hurry? It is said that the age of her and the prince of Qin is a good time to give birth, and there should be no signs at all. ”
"No, my daughter is just not yet ready to have children, and some people have been married for three years before they are happy."
"It's because someone has been married for a long time before they get married, but most of those women are not in good health, and your daughter is not in good health?"
King Zhao grabbed Jiang Erye and said in a low voice: "This king just said this, don't worry about it first, and remember one sentence, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, and let your daughter be careful, it's always a good thing." The news that Princess Qin knows medical skills, this king can tell you, believe it or not. ”
"Will she be able to heal His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Second Master Jiang asked in a low voice.
"I don't know." King Zhao shook his head, "Maybe, maybe not, whether you can or cannot, Princess Qin has to offend a group of people, even if she is lucky enough to heal the prince, the queen mother may not be grateful to her for long." It's not a day or two that she knows how to heal, not to mention that there are other princes who are eyeing the East Palace, and the Qin Palace's trouble is big. ”
King Zhao was more inclined to Princess Qin, who could not cure the crown prince.
It's not that he is looking forward to the death of the prince, but that the prince's illness is very troublesome, and even if he continues his life, he is afraid that he will not be able to leave an heir.
The prince has been tormented by illness for many years, and his physical vitality is only afraid that most of his vitality will be dispersed due to long-term illness.
My father may have already had the intention of giving up the prince in his heart.
Only the queen couldn't see it, and tried her best to save the prince.
Jiang Erye patted his head, it was really a wave of unsettled, wave after wave, "I'll go back to the Hou Mansion first and settle accounts with my old man." ”
"Jiang Er, shouldn't you want to go to King Qin's Mansion to report to your daughter?"
King Zhao felt that he couldn't keep up with Jiang Erye's train of thought.
"Since the Qin Palace's Mansion is in trouble, I won't join in the fun." Second Master Jiang strode out, "If the old man didn't make a marriage contract with the old King Qin, as for me marrying my daughter to the prince of Qin?" ”
Although the son-in-law is not bad, Second Master Jiang does not regret Zhao Duoze being his son-in-law, but the Qin Wangfu is too chaotic and complicated.
And that's not even the case of a changer.
In the future, once this matter breaks out, King Qin will not be laughed at by others? Being toyed with by two women in applause, who knows if King Qin will be extreme?
Jiang Erye took this opportunity to bargain with Yongninghou to see if he could deduct any more benefits from Yongninghou's hands, and he had to give his daughter and son-in-law for self-defense.
It really didn't work, so he went into the palace to find the emperor to catch up with the old days, and ventilate to the emperor, saving the emperor from blaming his son-in-law in the future, although Yaoyao said that the emperor may know the details, but no one dares to guarantee that the emperor will always trust and reuse Zhao Duoze.
Jiang Erye rode a horse to Yongning Houfu, and happened to pass by Prince Yan's Mansion with the gate closed, Jiang Erye rode on a horse, Prince Yan's Mansion was like a tomb, desolate, lonely, Prince Yan was only afraid that he was about the same as a living dead.
He also eats people who are waiting for death, but he lives freely, although Prince Yan is the only prince of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that the feeling of waiting for death is not good.
"Why am I sentimental?" Second Master Jiang tightened the reins, is his head hot? Or did you drink too much?
It seems that it will be Prince Yan's birthday in a few days, Jiang Er Ye still remembers the painful picture of Prince Yan holding his son on the long street, they are all fathers, if Jiang Wenjin and Yaoyao have an accident, Jiang Er Ye can kill people with machetes to avenge his children.
Prince Yan was pressed in the palace by the emperor, and he didn't dare to move, and he couldn't move, even if he knew who the enemy was.
Second Master Jiang's ears moved, and he faintly heard bursts of mournful laughter coming from the palace...... After careful identification, I felt that I had heard it wrong, and Jiang Erye shook his dizzy head, it was a mistake.
Whipping his horse, he left Prince Yan's mansion.
At the gate of the Yongning Marquis Mansion, I saw the servant of the Qin Wangfu who came to report the news, "Aren't you the one who married into the Qin Wangfu with Yaoyao?" ”
"Back to the second master, the princess asked the slave to send you a message, the palace is lively, she asks you to ...... immediately"
"Go to King Qin's Mansion?" When Jiang Erye heard the excitement, his eyes lit up.
"The princess asked you to go home immediately, and you can't go out for three days, and the princess wants you not to drink easily."
"Oh."
Second Master Jiang dismounted and walked into the Yongning Waiting Mansion, not drinking easily, which meant that Yang Shuai could not be summoned to join in the fun, "By the way, what kind of excitement is the palace?" ”
"I don't know where a few sick people came, they carried their festering relatives, knelt in front of the palace, begged the merciful Princess Qin to save her life, and muttered in their mouths that Princess Qin was the best at treating dirty diseases."
"Poof."
Jiang Erye fell under his feet, whose handiwork is this?
Is it the old widow of the Yang Gate, or which prince?
Isn't it because the prince's reputation is too good?
Specializing in the treatment of visceral diseases means that the prince ...... Second Master Jiang shook his head, the most ruthless emperor's family, sure enough, he was not wrong, I don't know if the old and frail emperor in the palace will be half angry by the situation in front of him.
"What else did Yaoyao say?"
"The situation is out of control. The princess, please be more careful, obediently do your filial piety in front of the lord of Jiamin, and ignore the rest. ”
Jiang Erye nodded and agreed, the best thing about him is to be obedient, especially to listen to his daughter's words, Yaoyao won't let him toss, he will never go out, everything is waiting for Yaoyao's orders, but Yaoyao said that it is out of control? And what do you mean?
"You go back and talk to Yaoyao, don't ignore King Yan Qin."
"Whoa."
The servant complied.
*****
Jiang Luyao listened to the report of the subordinate and frowned, "Prince Yan?" ”
Is there the handiwork of Prince Yan in these things?
No, isn't he already retired?
How could my father say such a sentence without a head? Jiang Luyao's mind was full of greetings, but now was not the time for her to go back to her parents' house, the group of 'patients' at the door, Jiang Luyao was eighty percent sure that the prince was found by the prince of Yangmen, even if the princes wanted to ruin the reputation of the prince, they also had to consider the emperor's dragon body condition.
Once the emperor is so angry about this matter that he ascends to Bliss early, the biggest beneficiary is the crown prince.
Don't care how the □ of the prince's palace is not good, he is the prince one day, and the most orthodox heir of the Ming Dynasty one day.
The author has something to say: don't ignore anyone, hehe.
