Chapter 146: Long-term vision

Like Shen Yueru's father, there is no reliance at home, Shen Shilang himself is a noble position, but in the end he is a right squire, and there are left and right squires below each Shangshu in the Great Xuan Dynasty, but they have always been respected by the left, and they are in power, the difference between one word is 108,000 miles, and it is a Ministry of Rites with little oil and water. Shen Shilang has three sons, the eldest son is from Aunt He, is his mother's cousin, and has feelings since he was a child, he is more respectful than his wife, followed by his wife's current Mrs. Shen's son-in-law, and Shen Yueru's father is also from the concubine's room.

At present, the future is critical, but he has taken a step back then, so that it took so many years to get a top of the five grades. Speaking of which, in the end, it is still the capital official who is valuable, even if it is downgraded by one level, it is okay, the best thing is to be able to find a five-grade Beijing official at the same level, as for the promotion, he can't even think of it.

The family can't point to it, he can only pay attention to his daughter's body, so thinking about Shen's father's gaze fell on his daughter's body, thin eyebrows and apricot eyes, and the appearance of a virtuous woman is also good, although there are so many noble girls in Kyoto where there are many nobles in this noble world, it is difficult to stand out, but it should be no problem to find a concubine of a noble family, thinking of this, he said with a straight face, "You are not small, you didn't talk about your marriage when you were in office, you are thinking that we are based in Kyoto, we can always come back, find you a Kyoto family, and now I am back, It's time to discuss it. ”

Shen Yueru gritted her teeth secretly, her face flushed with shame, "Father, it's not that you don't know ...... me and the third prince."

"Don't mention him, you have been disconnected from him for so many years, and there is no result in the end, the royal family is something we can't afford to climb, and now you can find someone who can help me is the most important thing at the moment, although he is a prince, I don't underestimate him, but a declining prince...... The emperor now has four sons, the eldest prince is powerful, and the eighth prince is not weak, if you can climb one of these two casually, it will not be so difficult for the father to find a shortage. ”

Father Shen waved his hand impatiently, and said with a straight face, "You are not allowed to talk about it with him in the future, in the end, the woman's character is the most important, if you really have a bad character, how can you marry, do you want to be cheeky." Where will you lay your father's face, ah? ”

"What the father said is very true, and the daughter understands, but the daughter has to persuade the father that being a man cannot only look at the immediate interests, but also need to look at the long-term."

Shen Yueru couldn't care about anything at the moment, gritted her teeth and continued, "If the daughter doesn't do it, if she wants to do it, she must be the most noble woman, what kind of honor can be compared to the royal family, father don't look at the three princes in front of him who have no mother's family to rely on, but when it comes to it, probably my father is wrong about the current situation." ”

"The big picture? What is the big situation, do you mean that the father is not as clear as you as a little woman? ”

Shen's father's eyes were wide open, full of anger, since ancient times, the father is the son, but now it's good, it's his daughter's turn to tell him to see the big situation clearly, it's really a joke, he can get from the desperate situation back then, and he is naturally full of confidence in his every plan.

Shen Yueru stood up, quietly looked at the door and saw that there was no one, closed the door tightly, looked at her father solemnly and said, "Since this is the case, then father tell me, who is the most likely person to be the crown prince?" ”

Father Shen lowered his eyelids and thought seriously for a long time before he said confidently, "Wan Jia naturally supports the eldest prince, and now the queen Wan has been sitting in the middle palace for nineteen years, and no one can shake her position, although the eldest prince has lost that year, it seems that it is also the most likely one now, followed by the eighth prince, and the concubine is second only to the queen of Wan in the palace, and the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion is the emperor who has made contributions to the throne and is now looked at differently by the emperor, and the little marquis of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion is married to the daughter of the eldest princess, and is the cousin of the saint today, he is also promising. Speaking of this, Father Shen took a sip of tea and continued, "As for the third prince, it is just a down-and-out person to say that it is ugly, and there is no power of the mother family, and the sixth prince is even worse, he is a person who is rejected by the emperor, you are good, just catch a third prince, it turns out that I thought that he might be able to do something, the sacred heart, now it seems that it is indeed useless." ”

Being able to explain the situation of several princes so clearly, it is still thanks to Shen's father who always pays attention to Kyoto and can't forget the heart of climbing up, Shen Yueru heard his father say this, kept in communication with the three princes, and has always been able to fly on the branches to be a phoenix in the future, so he is naturally aware of these situations.

"Of course I know what my father said, but I have my own opinions."

Shen Yueru paused, carefully sorted out her thoughts, hung a strand of hair behind her ear and said, "Father is talking about the situation, but the choice of the prince depends on whether the person is or not, no matter what the forces behind it, it may not be able to sit on the throne of the prince." In my opinion, the eldest prince is the most unlikely one, as early as thirteen years ago the crown prince turmoil, although I was still young at the time, but there are still some heard, if the emperor is willing, the first time is forced by ten thousand families, the emperor is unwilling, but the second time, the eldest prince got married, the emperor didn't let go, besides, the eldest prince married for a year, Princess Qi went, Kyoto spread how many words about the great prince's virtue, and the daughter has heard of it, the eldest prince is unwilling, greedy for money and lustful, such a character, the emperor can not count in his heart, Will he be the crown prince so that he will be the emperor of the Great Xuan Dynasty in the future? I don't think so. Besides, the eighth prince, my father doesn't know, the eighth prince admires the three princes the most, always following behind the three princes, everything is subject to the three princes, and the three princes have mentioned to me more than once, the best advantage of the eight princes is open-mindedness, but the most important thing is that they have no opinions.

The reason why the daughter supports the three princes is that he is a person, he is wise, talented, and born with the imperial spirit, there is a little bit that the father doesn't know, King Shuxian is on the side of the three princes, and many secret confidential things are done by the three princes and King Shuxian, although the three princes do not have a mother's family, but the power and influence of King Shuxian, and the most important thing is his status in the emperor's mind. If the three princes are not emperors, without the support of the mother's family, they were crowned King Ping before they got married, what if the eighth prince has a mother's family, it is not that he has not caught a king. Father thought about it. Regarding the power, although it is a good thing that the eldest prince now looks at the power, but the power of the Wan family is also too big, the emperor can not be afraid in his heart, he must be on the guard, how can he let another tiger sleep peacefully on the side of his couch? Father thought about it again, three years ago, because of the matter of the six princes, the power of the Wan family was weakened a lot by the emperor. ”

Father Shen was silent for a long time after hearing his daughter's words, his eyes wandered, and finally fell on his daughter's face, sighed heavily, shook his head, and said, "Even so, your status is lower, and your appearance is not outstanding in this Kyoto......"

The status is low or second, if only his daughter had a beautiful appearance, then he can hold the heart of a man tightly, and as a man, Father Shen deeply understands that men have a common itch for beauty.

Shen Yuru was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head, "The father is wrong, the most important thing for a daughter is not beauty, her background is one, but the most important thing is to capture a man's heart, I have a life-saving grace for the three princes, and I have been carefully managing this relationship for so many years, I am confident, the most important person in the hearts of the three princes is me, and the current situation, most of the Kyoto nobles and fathers look at external forces, and those who are ranked top are from good backgrounds, and they will not focus on the three princes." So that we have fewer strong competitors, and ...... I have met the third prince, and he personally promised me that if I can't be a concubine for him, he will not marry a concubine, and even if he does, it is an ornament, and it will definitely not threaten my status. ”

"Are you really that sure?"

Father Shen not only looked sideways, but this daughter of his has always been scheming, he knows it, but he still doesn't dare to believe it.

Shen Yueru straightened up very confidently, "How can all my hard work over the years be in vain?" ”

"The position of the father right now ......" Shen's father looked at his daughter with hopeful eyes, hesitated and said, "Since the third prince and King Shuxian are so good, can you let the third prince talk to King Shuxian, as long as there is a word from King Shuxian, the people in the ministry will definitely give King Shuxian a face, if the father can't stay in Beijing this time...... I'm afraid there will be no future in the future. ”

Shen Yueru said, "Father, this is a mediocre person who disturbs himself, is the immediate gain and loss so important?" When I sit firmly in the seat of the Ping Wangfu, who outside does not look down on my father, but look at the concubine Cao back then, I know, one person has ascended to heaven, and the Cao family has also been vigorous, our family, not only has a father, but also two brothers, my eyes are not in the present, but in the future, not only to enter the court, but also to the title, the hereditary title, that is what is really to be calculated, we have no status in this old mansion, uncle and third uncle don't look at them in front of us, But out of this mansion, there are a few people who look at them squarely, and in the end, the biggest one is only a third-grade person, and he doesn't even have the lowest title. In the future, the Shen family will prosper from his father's lineage, which is the real responsibility on his father's shoulders. ”
