Because someone secretly added fuel to the fire, the news that the two marquis mansions angered the emperor and fell out of favor soon spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital. People who are idle at home for the New Year have an extra topic of gossip when they gossip. Many people think it's a pity, why did the people and mansions of the past few years start to sink? The blessing of the girl of the Yongping Marquis Mansion has run out?

However, most people still sighed, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and ordinary people still have to look up. No matter how people say it, there are two marquises, one for five generations and one for ten generations, even if the emperor is no longer favored, as long as he doesn't commit any major crimes of rebellion, he won't take the title, right? There is a Prince Yong's mansion as a family member, and there is also a Nangong family in-law, and the family is always rich.

The people who are really busy with this matter are ready to seize this opportunity to tear a big hole and crack down on the die-hard hardliners with the Lianghou Mansion as the key link point, and it is best to take advantage of the situation to top their own supporters by the emperor's side.

Of course, the vision and strategy are different, the reaction is different, some people think that they have seized the once-in-a-century opportunity to suppress, some people look on coldly with a sarcastic face, and there is another type of people, but they feel that if someone really blows down the Lianghou Mansion, it will be an opportunity to win them over.

Yu Zhengran was waiting for this opportunity, but he always felt that this matter was not very reliable and a little too ...... Suddenly.

After several years, he felt more and more that the person in his seat was unfathomable.

……

Prince Yong's Mansion also got the news, and Concubine Zhao let out a long breath, although this matter will not affect Qi Haoning's marriage contract with Xia Shuyao, Xia Shuyao is still a natural housewife when she enters the door, but she does not have such a strong mother. Xia Shuyao's confidence and reliance are not so sufficient.

Qi Yuexin was even more elated. So. She was more sure to hold that Xia Shuyao. I just suffered such a big fright, hmph, on the tenth day of the first month, she must still be in shock, just give a dismount, and then use both soft and hard, she still doesn't obediently listen to her own mercy?

……

The world is colorful, but the leader of the farce is drinking tea leisurely. On the case in front of him were several impeachments of Yongping Hou Xia Shujie for being arrogant, indifferent, and attacking colleagues, as well as Wenyuan Hou Jin Xida colluding with reckless and profiteers to frame innocent officials.

A sneer appeared at the corner of the emperor's mouth, these folds seemed to come from different institutions and different people that were not related, but in fact they were all grasshoppers tied to a rope secretly. Well, he's still sitting here, and these people have already identified the new Lord?

However, it was too much to breathe......

The third day of the first lunar month is the birthday of the Queen Mother, and all the officials know that the court meeting of this day will end relatively soon, "Something starts." Nothing to retreat". Unless there is a hurry, no one wants to look for something in the church on this day. delayed the time when the emperor went to pay a birthday to the queen mother. Naturally, no one dares to rush to "care" about those impeachment memorals that have not yet been followed.

What they are more concerned about is who will attend the Queen Mother's birthday banquet this year?

The Queen Mother has become more and more dislike trouble over the years, just because her birthday is a few days after Chinese New Year's Eve, she feels that she has already made trouble, and fewer and fewer people are summoned to the palace to attend the birthday banquet. Not to mention that there are only a very few officials, and even less than a third of the emperor's relatives can participate, saying that it is a turn, but everyone knows in their hearts, the queen mother and the emperor can think of you this year, what does it mean?

Just when everyone was about to listen to the words of the father-in-law of Dafuzi, "Retreat from the dynasty-", the emperor spoke: "Since all the Aiqing are fine, I have a good thing to share with the Aiqing, my princes have grown up one after another, and they are all excellent, I am very relieved, and it is time for them to spread their wings and contribute to the Great Zhou." ”

Hundreds of civil and military officials are in the air, these words ...... What a meaning! Is it finally time to canonize the crown prince? Or which prince is crowned king? Under normal circumstances, if the crown prince is decided, when other princes get married and leave the palace to set up a palace, they will be directly crowned kings. Among the current adult princes, except for the second prince who is about to get married in a few months, the other three princes have already left the palace and set up a mansion.

Now, who will enter the East Palace, and who will be crowned king? What is a title? These are related to the fate of many people.

The emperor is high, and the changes in the expressions of the princes and officials below cannot escape his eyes one by one. Secretly snorted coldly, and said with a smile: "Today's birthday of the Queen Mother is a good day, and I canonize the two princes at the same time, which can be regarded as three joys." ”

Two of you? Meaning out of the game? At least the chances are slim. Because there are only two situations for the prince of the Great Zhou, one is to leave the capital to go to the fiefdom, and he cannot return to Beijing without a holy message; The other is that although he stays in the capital, he is definitely in an idle position, or he does not hold any position at all, and can only be an idle prince.

Well, don't compare with Prince Yong, there has only been one hereditary prince since the beginning of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Even Prince Qi, the Queen Mother's favorite one, was not hereditary (his descendants could only be princes and county kings, not princes), and he also went to the fiefdom.

There was silence in the courtroom, and an embroidery needle could probably be heard falling on the ground.

Dafuzi's father-in-law spread out the holy decree that had been prepared early: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said......"

Except for a small number of people who were calm, most of them were not calm, some were relieved, some were secretly gasping, and some were shaking...... It's not a place for them to breathe, though. "Huh" and knelt down with a bang: "Emperor Shengming, congratulations to His Royal Highness King Ning, congratulations to His Royal Highness King Xian." ”

Yes, now you can no longer call the eldest prince and the third prince, the eldest prince is now the king of Ning, and the fief is in the area of Ningzhou, and he will go to the fief after the first month.

The three princes born of Concubine De were named virtuous kings and did not need to leave Beijing, but after the first month, they were no longer responsible for the affairs at hand now, and transferred to the National Academy, and focused on promoting the virtues of the sages in the future.

The two newly baked princes were holding back a mouthful of bad blood in their hearts, and they had to kowtow to thank them "with joy". What if you are unwilling? The fathers above are not old, nor are they stupid, they don't have the courage or ability.

When retiring from the palace and leaving the palace, there were no heated discussions and arguments on weekdays, everyone was very quiet, mainly because many people were uneasy, the people of the eldest prince and the third prince faction did not say anything, and other people were also speculating and speculating, the emperor knew it in his heart? Is it the second prince? The Four Princes? Or is it one of the younger ones? After all, the emperor is in the prime of life, and it is still early to become the emperor.

And the most shocking thing is the people who were impeached, they faintly had a bad premonition, and there was a feeling of "being teased". However, those who "tease" them......

Sure enough, it didn't take long for their premonition to be confirmed, because a large number of people saw with their own eyes that the old and young of the Lianghou Mansion brought two spirit beasts into the palace to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday.

Someone's eyelids rolled and fell straight backwards, crying and grabbing the ground in the house, and suddenly there was a mess.

There are also calm people, who immediately concentrate their staff, thinking about how to redeem and how to "correct the misunderstanding", but they don't want to eat. In short, the Great New Year's is unlucky.

The capital immediately rejoiced again, and the people had a lot more "lively" to see, idle in the New Year, it was good to have a topic, and there was more fun to knock teeth after tea and dinner. As long as there is no rebellion, for the common people, there are not so many scruples of officials.

Mr. Yu hurried to Yu's mansion and admired Yu Zhengran: "Young master, you are still powerful, you have been calculated, this is really a fraud." ”

Yu Zhengran sighed: "For that one, everyone is in the light, only he is in the dark. Now that we're missing two forces, we're going to have a harder time functioning, because the other one is more focused. ”

In fact, Yu Zhengran really felt that he was wise and shrewd, and the Great Zhou was thriving under his rule, and he was also a rare Ming monarch. Is it really necessary, or rather, capable of pulling him down?

Mr. Yu nodded: "We may have to be silent for a while, I'll send a message to the lord first, and see what the lord plans?" "That's too hard to deal with. Although they now have the second prince and the Ma family as shields, this move cannot be easily abandoned.

There were four forces fighting in secret before, and they could also mess up the emperor's sight. But now there are no two shares at once, and the four princes and their faction have been silent a lot in the past two years, putting on an unintentional appearance of competing for favor. If they do anything more with the help of the second prince's faction, it will soon be highlighted.

Now it's as if they're being entangled in invisible ropes!

Mr. Yu exhaled lightly: "Fortunately, the lord has a two-pronged move, and the two nails on the side of Yuecheng are very strong, if the second prince can't live, we still have Qi Haoning." I heard that the lord spent a lot of thought over there, and one of the nails has been cultivated for ten years, if it weren't for Qi Haoning going to Yuecheng, I'm afraid he wouldn't have used it so quickly.

Yu Zhengran's heart tingled for no reason: "Ten years? It won't be a widow again, right? ”

Mr. Yu shook his head: "Although I don't know what kind of nail the road is, I am not a widow." Young master, I understand that you have some sympathy for Ning Shizi, after all, you are all surnamed Qi, but young master, the battle for the throne has always been cruel, and the royal family has no brothers and sons. ”

"No brother father and son," Yu Zhengran smiled bitterly, "No brother father and son" He had never seen his father, but he kept getting orders and instructions from him.

Mr. Yu suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly added: "Young master, you are the lord's favorite son, and he has high hopes for you. The lord said that after the deed is completed, you will be the rightful prince. With your achievements, those brothers have no reason to fight. ”

Yu Zhengran didn't speak, waved his hand, and let Mr. Yu go out. Since he was a child, he has followed his father's will to endure strong training and pressure, not for the position of prince, but because it was his father's request, he was eager to complete the task as soon as possible and return to his father, he longed for the feeling of home. (To be continued......)
