Chapter 276: The Crown Prince (for the Hall Master of the Great Lady Yang+)
Congratulations to Lady Yang for becoming the hall master of the noble girl's father, this chapter is specially added for the pro, Xie Lu Xie Qin's support and encouragement! (≥◇≤) Touched~——
The relationship between the Cui family and Baili Mansion has been very stiff over the years, but they are reluctant to give up on Baili Mansion, Baili Wenji is a girl of the Cui family, and Cui Yuting will marry early next year.
Once Baili Kong died, the entire Baili Mansion was not Baili Wen's successor, and Baili Chenghui had never been very much of a director, and the people of the Cui family didn't take Baili Chenghui very seriously, and all they cared about was Baili Kong.
Baili Wenxiu got married, Baili Yanyu, who lived in the princess's mansion, and Baili Yanyu and Yanmeng, who were married, all came back, and Yanhua couldn't come out in Ning Wangfu.
went to see the bride, Baili Yanyu and Yanmeng, the two sisters, sat together and sighed a little, but they didn't expect the sisters to turn their heads upside down, so the two of them were more relaxed.
originally thought that Baili Yanqing was the happiest, but she didn't want to be ruined, so she went when she was young.
And although Baili Yanhua married into King Ning's Mansion, it seems to be beautiful, but now in King Ning's Mansion, I don't know what kind of pain and helplessness I feel in my heart.
Baili Yanyu and they don't want to mention it, the sisters they don't like and hate the most is Baili Yanyu, and now Baili Yanyu wants to marry into the Hou Mansion, Baili Yanyu and Yanmeng also know the Tao.
Although Yanyu and Yanmeng's marriage portal is not high, now they also have children, plus they get along well with their husbands, and they have Baili Mansion as their backing, Yanyu and Yanmeng are not weak people, and their in-laws dare not underestimate them.
Here in Bitao Courtyard, Baili Yanyu complained to Cui Yingying again, Cui Yingying was helpless, but this matter was not in a hurry, it would be good if there was no intervention of Emperor Xia Hui, but as soon as Emperor Xia Hui intervened, things were not so smooth. However, Yanyu has already lived in the princess's mansion. There are many opportunities, but for this Cui Yingying, she is arguing with Baili Chenghui.
In the palace, Emperor Xia Hui looked at the twists and turns on the imperial case and had a deep headache. Xisha Island could not be attacked for a long time, and there was interference from other countries, even if Wei Chi's family made a move, he also froze there.
There is also the Jianan Kingdom, the king of Jianan is not in good health, the crown prince has not been selected, and the Great Xia Kingdom is the main country of the Jianan Kingdom. I have to pay attention to the candidate for the prince of the southern kingdom of Jianan.
And the battle between the crown prince of Jianan was also very fierce, Emperor Xia Hui felt that it was necessary for him to send an envoy to Jianan to have a look, in Emperor Xia Hui's heart, he also belonged to the third prince.
The third prince will go to the Great Xia Kingdom every year to send tribute, not too smart people, not stupid people, in the opinion of Emperor Xia Hui, the third prince is better to control for a long time.
The crown prince of the first vassal country, Emperor Xia Hui did not want an ambitious crown prince to go out of the wilderness. So the third prince is also to his liking.
It's just that he is a long and virtuous, and the eldest prince of Jianan is known as a virtuous man, and he is the eldest son, so it stands to reason that he should be the best candidate for the crown prince. But King Jianan was jealous of his eldest son, and he loved his younger son even more, while the third prince's mother family was strong.
Emperor Xia Hui's gaze fell on a book of excerpts, which were excerpts from King Jianan two months ago. Please appoint the fourth prince as the crown prince. But in just two months, King Jianan went on another fold and set up the third prince as the crown prince.
Emperor Xia Hui smiled. Didn't Wang Mo of Jianan think that the establishment of the crown prince was child's play, or did he know what happened here. Emperor Xia Hui's desire to control is very strong, and now that the two excerpts of the Jianan Kingdom are inconsistent, Emperor Xia Hui is also suspicious.
"Mrs. Pingyang Hou is the Wang clan of Jianan." Emperor Xia Hui asked casually.
Yan Yuheng, who was standing quietly in the imperial study, sighed, his face was dazed, Emperor Xia Hui saw Yan Yuheng's reaction, and he didn't plan to let Yan Yuheng answer, after putting down the fold, he was going to drive the Fengyi Palace.
When Empress Shen had the eldest son of the emperor, Emperor Xia Hui was guarding against Empress Shen, but now the Shen family is like a sick cat, and Emperor Xia Hui is not interested. However, when it comes to the subject country, Emperor Xia Hui still attaches great importance to it and will never allow others to interfere.
Yan Yuheng followed Emperor Xia Hui and went to Fengyi Palace, but did not go in, but stayed outside.
After Baili Yanqing's death, Emperor Xia Hui rearranged Yan Yuheng to his side and reused Yan Yuheng.
In Fengyi Palace, it was still lifeless, and Emperor Xia Hui admired Empress Shen's patience when he stepped here. Emperor Xia Hui used to use Empress Shen as a shield to prevent Concubine Cui from ascending to the throne, but he also thought that Empress Shen would die soon. Who would have thought that Empress Shen had survived for more than twenty years, and even survived until Concubine Cui died.
"I remember that Mrs. Pingyang Hou is the Jianan Wang clan." Emperor Xia Hui sat on the chair next to Empress Shen's bed, and after chatting with Empress Shen for a few words, he asked casually.
Empress Shen didn't want to deal with Emperor Xia Hui, but she had to brace herself to deal with it, so as not to be caught up in a certain sentence of Emperor Xia Hui.
"Yes, the concubine's sister-in-law is the concubine of King Jianan." Empress Shen replied truthfully.
"The queen can know that the three queens of the Jianan Kingdom are also the concubines of the Wang family." Emperor Xia Hui asked again, his eyes fixed on Empress Shen.
Empress Shen's expression was surprised, as if she didn't know about Lu Dao, "The concubine really doesn't know Lu Dao, she has been sick for many years, but the sister-in-law has not mentioned it to the concubine when she enters the palace several times, and when the sister-in-law enters the palace again, the concubine has to ask to know about Lu Dao." ”
In any case, Emperor Xia Hui didn't want the Shen family to interfere in the affairs of the Jianan Kingdom, and now listening to what Empress Shen said, whether it was true or not, whether it was true or not, Emperor Xia Hui didn't ask any more.
After Emperor Xia Hui left, Empress Shen snorted weakly, her eyes were full of ridicule, but when she thought of Emperor Xia Hui asking about the affairs of Jia Nanguo, her heart sank, and she still asked the old lady next to her to send a message to her mother's family to inquire clearly.
On the second day, the court mentioned the matter of the crown prince of Jianan, and I heard that the king of Jianan originally intended for the younger son, but now the king of Jianan wrote to let the third prince be the crown prince.
Emperor Xia Hui also went to Fengyi Palace because of King Jianan's excerpt, but whether the crown prince of Jianan Kingdom was the third prince or the fourth prince, Emperor Xia Hui didn't care, but he didn't want the Shen family to have the handiwork of the Shen family.
Regarding this matter, the Shen clan naturally did not say anything, and was even more reluctant to mix.
But there was a controversy in the court, the customs of the southern kingdom of Jianan are different, although the four queens are divided into large and small, but they all belong to the concubine. And the eldest queen has no children, the second queen has two sons, the third queen has one son, and the fourth queen has one son.
From the patriarchal point of view, the eldest prince occupies all the great princes. However, the eldest prince is not liked by King Jianan, so King Jianan does not consider the eldest prince in the matter of the crown prince, and he also does not consider the second prince.
King Jianan doted on the four queens, doted on the four princes raised by the four queens, and also intended to make the four princes the crown princes. But in just two months, King Jianan changed his mind and set up the third prince.
Some people in the court naturally condemned King Jianan for ignoring etiquette, but no matter what, this is also a matter of Jianan. Although the Jianan Kingdom is a vassal state of the Great Xia Kingdom, it stands to reason that whoever is the king as long as he does not rebel and pays tribute every year, it is enough for the Great Xia Kingdom.
In the matter of establishing the crown prince, King Jianan just needs to report to Emperor Daxia, and then Emperor Daxia will give the Dao Holy Decree down. But who let the Great Xia Kingdom control the lifeblood of the Jianan Kingdom, so the matter of the crown prince of the Jianan Kingdom was still moved to the court by the Great Xia Kingdom to be discussed.
Some people proposed the eldest prince as the crown prince, some people proposed the third prince as the crown prince, and the second prince and the fourth prince were also proposed, but less, so for most people's courtiers, they did not approve of the fourth prince as the crown prince.
Among the four princes, the biological mother and adoptive mother of the fourth prince are all from low backgrounds, so the eldest prince and the third prince have become hotly discussed candidates.
"Yu Heng, I sent you to the Jianan Kingdom to investigate the princes of the King of Jianan for me, who is the most suitable to become the crown prince." After returning to the imperial study, Yan Yuheng was called to the imperial study again, and Emperor Xia Hui directly stated his meaning.
Yan Yuheng also understood Emperor Xia Hui's plan, such a good opportunity to go out of Beijing, he naturally would not miss it, and immediately knelt on the ground and received the order: "The minister will live up to the emperor's trust." ”
Soon the envoys to Jianan were also decided, and within a few days, Yan Yuheng was about to set off. The eldest princess is very depressed, Baili Yanyu has lived in for so long, the eldest princess naturally wants to make a plan, after all, it is not only Cui Yingying who told her that she is good, but also the Empress Dowager Cui.
But now that Yan Yuheng is going to send an envoy to Jianan, the eldest princess can only put things down for the time being.
It's already November, the weather is very cold, and the snow is falling, which makes it a chore to make the southern part of the country.
Here in Jiananguo, there is no snow, this climate is not as cold as the capital, Baili Yanqing has just come out of confinement, and after a month, she can already get out of bed and walk around. Charcoal was burned in the house, it was very warm, and looking at the sweet sleep, the smile on Baili Yanqing's face became stronger.
Suzaku came back from outside and knocked on Baili Yanqing's door before walking in.
"Door master, I've contacted the second prince."
"How is the second prince now?" Baili Yanqing couldn't help asking, the crown prince of Jianan was fiercely competitive, and in the days when she gave birth, the second prince was framed and poisoned by King Jianan. Although there is no definite evidence, King Ke Jianan still put the second prince under house arrest, and also reprimanded the second queen and the eldest prince.
"The second prince is all right, that is, I received news today, two months ago, the king of Jianan handed over the crown prince candidate to Beijing, that is, the fourth prince, but two months later, the king of Jianan changed to the third prince, and the court and the central government debated the matter of the crown prince of Jianan, and Emperor Xia Hui sent the prince as an envoy to prepare to go south."
"Yu Heng is coming to Jianan." Baili Yanqing said unexpectedly, her heart was pounding, and there was only one thing in her mind, Yan Yuheng was coming.
What was Yan Yuheng's reaction after reading the letter, how did Yan Yuheng decide, Baili Yanqing thought wildly for a while.
"Tonight, I will go to the palace to see the second queen, you can stay at home and take care of Dudu." Baili Yanqing said.
Suzaku nodded, "That door master is careful, the green dragon and the white tiger will follow the door master." (To be continued......)
