In the inner hall of the Dust Palace, the Emperor Taishang sat on the dragon couch and asked gently, "What do you think about today's events?" ”

Jia Baoyu replied: "The emperor's grandfather is wise and sacred, ruling the clan and hundreds of officials, and everyone is convinced......"

The Emperor shook his head, "I don't need you to sing praises to me like those ministers, I want to listen to what you have to say." ”

Jia Baoyu thought for a while, and said: "Wang Weiren brought all the ministers and the clan into Xiyuan, in the name of begging the imperial grandfather to be crowned as the prince, which seems to be a prince, but in fact, he is relying on the power of self-respect, coercing the imperial grandfather, and trying to influence my heavenly family to establish an heir.

However, the emperor's grandfather was wise and sacred, and first scolded the ministers on the grounds that he despised His Majesty's festival and weakened his momentum. Then he canonized His Royal Highness the Four Princes as the grandson, blocked the mouths of the ministers, and finally cut off Wang Weiren's position as the first assistant, completely removing his potential. ”

Emperor Taishang was obviously still not satisfied, and he continued to shake his head: "Just one Wang Weiren is nothing ......"

As he spoke, his expression was slightly correct, and he said: "Today's matter is clearly loyal to the king and conspired with Wang Weiren, why did you only mention Wang Weiren?" ”

Jia Baoyu Cha Tai Emperor's tone was not ruthless and scrutinizing, and replied thoughtfully: "King Zhongshun is his grandson's uncle, even if he made a mistake, there is no reason for his grandson to blame him behind his back. Uncle Wang's matter is dictated by the emperor's grandfather's sacred heart. ”

The Emperor Taishang glanced at him twice, and sighed leisurely: "I don't know if you are so pure and benevolent by nature, or if you are too deep in the city at a young age...... But I have to warn you that whoever wants to achieve great things must not have the kindness of a woman. ”

The corners of Jia Baoyu's mouth moved slightly, and he hurriedly lowered his head as if he was being taught.

"I heard that those countries on the coast of the West Sea have raised troops to attack again, I am very old, and I really don't have the strength to entangle with these barbarian states anymore, so I will leave this matter to you, do you have a strategy to control the enemy?"

The Emperor Taishang suddenly said like this.

Jia Baoyu immediately bowed down and said, "Thank you Grandpa Huang for your trust." My grandson is young and has never been to the West Sea, so I don't know the specific situation over there, but I think there will be many soldiers in my Great Xuan Army who are familiar with the Western Regions.

After the grandson went down, he would first gather these people, work together, and then come to the emperor's grandfather for advice......"

The Emperor shook his head: "There is no need to ask for advice, the most feared thing about the military family is too many constraints." Since I have already said that this matter will be handled by you, it is up to you to decide everything, and in the end, it is up to you to bear the burden of whether it is good or bad. ”

Jia Baoyu nodded yes.

"Just remember one thing, don't fall into the majesty of my heavenly kingdom, and don't lose the face of my Yuan descendants, this battle is very important......"

The Emperor's words seem to have some deep meaning, and they seem to be just ordinary explanations.

But Jia Baoyu didn't dare to hesitate, only nodded in response: "Sun Er understands, and he will live up to the high expectations of the emperor's grandfather!" ”

The Emperor Taishang also nodded, "Okay, you go down and call the Taishi and Zong Zhe in." ”

"Yes......"

Jia Baoyu retreated and came to the outside of the hall.

The others had all dispersed, and only the three ministers who had just been entitled, Ye Qiong, Zong Zhe, and King Zhongshun, were still waiting outside the hall.

Hearing Jia Baoyu say that the Emperor Taishang let Ye Qiong and Zong Zhe in, King Zhongshun was very surprised, and hurriedly asked: "What about me, the Emperor Taishang didn't call me?" ”

Jia Baoyu shook his head regretfully: "The little nephew doesn't dare to tamper with the Emperor's holy edict, he is an old man, and he really didn't mention Uncle Jiuwang...... Otherwise, Uncle Nine Princes will wait here, maybe the Emperor will summon Uncle Nine Princes after seeing the Master and the Sect Master......

King Zhongshun's face was inevitably a little ugly, and he was not sure if Jia Baoyu was mocking him. After all, every time he saw Jia Baoyu, the other party was smiling like this.

After thinking about it, he said, "Good nephew is reasonable, then I'll wait here a little longer......"

Jia Baoyu said with a smile: "Since this is the case, the little nephew will not accompany Uncle Jiuwang." Now that His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has been canonized as the imperial grandson, he didn't know the news when he came to the palace, so his nephew sent a decree into the palace first and reported the good news to His Royal Highness......"

When the king of Zhongshun heard this, the boss in his heart was not happy, "Why is that little wild seed ......?"

Before he finished his whining words, seeing Jia Baoyu looking at him with a smile, he also knew that he was speechless, and smiled awkwardly.

Jia Baoyu also smiled, then said goodbye, and went with the holy decree.

……

What happened in Xiyuan soon spread in the imperial city and in the capital.

Hearing that Emperor Taishang canonized the four princes as the emperor's grandsons, except for those who knew the inside story, the others did not seem surprised.

His Majesty has died, and His Majesty's heir has been canonized as a prince, which is a matter of course.

What's more, those who didn't believe the rumors in Beijing in the first place found evidence to criticize those rumors.

Didn't you spread rumors that Your Majesty has no heirs, and you also slandered Your Majesty's prince and princess because of the demons who messed with the palace, and now you have nothing to say, right?

If that's the case, the emperor won't know, and his old man will still appoint the fourth prince as the emperor's grandson?

Those who are also hearsay themselves have no words to refute for a while.

For a while, the previous rumors were quite self-defeating......

The palace, Jinlan Palace, was also busy for a day, the tired concubine finished bathing, and was being served by the palace maids to make up, when she suddenly heard that the little eunuch came to report the news, and she was taken aback when she heard it.

"Really?"

"Returning to Niangniang, it is true, King Fang Caijing personally entered the palace with the canonization decree of the Emperor Taishang, and presented it to the queen, and now it has been spread in the palace.

Our Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has been canonized as the imperial grandson by the Emperor Taishang, and he is the only prince of our Daxuan! ”

The little eunuch was excited, and the people around him were also excited.

If the master who serves his own family becomes the emperor in the future, these old people will naturally rise to the top.

Concubine Shu's heart also jumped a little for a while.

The fourth prince's biological mother, Qian Guiren, died early, and then the fourth prince, like the third princess, has been raised by her side.

Although she is not biological, but in this palace, there is no one closer to the four princes than her.

If the four princes can really sit in the Dragon Court, then she will at least be the imperial concubine in the future, and maybe, she can be called the queen mother like the queen......

But, how so?

After a brief surprise, Concubine Shu forced herself to calm down again.

Isn't it rumored that there is a big problem with the bloodline of the four princes?

Otherwise, why has it been since His Majesty's death, the government and the opposition seem to have forgotten that His Majesty still has such a son?

Except for a few people who didn't matter, she didn't feel any flattery from the courtiers to the four princes.

This is why she was so worried that she even took the initiative to climb King Jing.

They all said that King Jing was favored by the emperor and would inherit the throne in the future.

If Jing Qi's blood is really not pure, then if he surrenders to King Jing as soon as possible, maybe King Jing can protect their lives when their mother and son are weak......

"Mother, what's wrong with you? The fourth prince was canonized as the emperor's grandson, isn't this a great thing, why is the mother's face so bad? ”

The palace maids and eunuchs who served were puzzled.

Yes, Taisun......

Not the Prince!

Reasoning, if His Majesty dies, his successor should be the crown prince.

Taisun ...... This started from the Emperor Taishang......

"Where is the Decree now?"

"Probably at the Queen's place......

As he was talking, a eunuch announced outside the door: "Concubine Shu, the queen has a decree and orders you to take the four princes to Changle Palace together......"

Concubine Shu was at a loss, and when she heard the words, she took a long breath and ordered someone to bring the four princes over and go to Changle Palace together.

The queen mother was still so tranquil, and after they saluted, she said: "This is the holy decree of the Emperor Taishang to canonize the four princes as the grandsons and set up auxiliary ministers, and you will collect it on behalf of the grandson." ”

Following the queen's words, Xia Shouzhong personally handed down a bright yellow holy decree.

When he touched the holy decree with his own hands, Rao Yifei had always been a quiet temperament, and she couldn't help but tremble a little in her hands.

Ignoring the fact that the queen was still on it, she unfolded the decree and looked at it......

After a while, the queen was a little impatient, and she said, "Okay, if you want to take a closer look, take it back and take it slowly."

There is only one thing to explain in this palace. Now that the fourth prince is already the prince, he needs to take on the responsibility of the prince.

Usually, there are four auxiliary ministers to deal with the major affairs of the court, and there is no need for the grandson to do anything, he only needs to kneel in front of His Majesty's spirit on time. However, at the court meeting every three days, he still needs to sit under the dragon court and listen to the ministers discuss politics.

As for the specific details of this matter, later on, officials from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple will come to the upper study to teach the grandson, and you need to arrange for two clever and clever people to serve by the grandson's side, so as to follow the instructions of the gentlemen well, and do not make mistakes. ”

The queen's indifferent words made the last trace of luck fall in Concubine Shu's heart.

She closed the holy decree, hurriedly pulled the fourth prince to kneel, kowtowed, and said, "Please also ask the queen mother to be merciful and save us from ......!" ”

The queen reclined on the phoenix couch, beaten by the palace maids, and when she heard the words, she stood up, frowned and scolded: "What are you talking nonsense? Who wants to murder you, and you need this palace to save you? ”

The fourth prince is young, and he doesn't understand much reason, but he only knows how to obey his mother's orders.

At this time, facing a scolding from the high-ranking queen, his neck shrank, and he couldn't help but hug Concubine Shu's arm.

Tears flowed down the face of the concubine.

Although, she really wanted to hope that the words of the Holy Decree were true.

However, there are too many details that make her dare not have this luck mentality.

Before, there were ministers in the palace who ignored and despised their mother and son, why, such an important event as today's canonization of Jing Qi as the emperor's grandson, did not let Jing Qi listen to the decree in the past, but after the decree was issued, notify them?

Moreover, in all dynasties, which edict of the prince or the new monarch is not a long and vast theory, which is like the one in the hand, which is ridiculously simple......

This is a holy decree from the hand of the Emperor!

Also, if Jing Qi is really the rightful prince, at this time, shouldn't the queen mother find a way to take away Jing Qi's custody, even if the queen mother has no quarrel with the world and disdains it, she shouldn't be so cold to them......

The list goes on and on.

So, she held back her fright and came to an astonishing conclusion.

Jing Qi's bloodline problem may be true, and the Emperor Taishang definitely doesn't really want to make Jing Qi the prince!

Although she couldn't fully guess the emperor's intentions, she could guess a point or two......

Could it be that the Emperor Taishang did this, so that he could cover up the ugliness for Jingtai.

No, the Emperor Taishang is just paving the way for King Jing by doing this.

She took a closer look at the holy decree, the first four auxiliary ministers, except for one person who hated the king of Zhongshun, not to mention, Taishi, that is the future prince of King Jing, although the cabinet minister Zong Zhe does not know the details, I think he is also a person of King Jing, so counting King Jing as the leader, among the four people, three of them are from King Jing's line!

And they Jingqi, what else?

In the case that the emperor doesn't care, the queen doesn't hurt, and the ministers don't pay attention to it, they Jingqi bears the name of this prince, what good ending can they have?

Jing Qi didn't have a good ending, and she naturally did the same.

By the way, there is also the title of the emperor's grandson, isn't this the emperor deliberately trying to take the imperial system back from His Majesty's body, and change the name of King Jing in the future?

Thinking about these indiscriminately, the fear and fear in Concubine Shu's heart could not be suppressed, she kept kowtowing to the queen and said: "Please also ask the queen to have mercy and take back her life, Jing Qi is too young, he doesn't understand anything, and he really can't afford the great responsibility of the prince."

Please Niangniang and the court, choose another meritocracy......"

The queen was very surprised, she didn't want this usually silent concubine to have the eyes to see the danger in this matter, and she also had the courage not to be carried away by the huge benefits.

However, her last words were really stupid.

"Hugh has to talk nonsense, canonizing the grandson, it is the will of the emperor himself, not to mention you, even the palace, and I don't dare to disobey at all.

Well, the four princes were canonized as princes, which is a happy event, so don't cry here.

Jing Qi will have a heavy responsibility in the future, and you, as his mother, need to take good care of it and don't make mistakes. ”

Although she also felt some pity for Concubine Shu's mother and son in her heart, the queen knew that she had no right to speak in this matter, and everything would only be known later.

Concubine Shu also realized that it was useless to ask the queen for mercy, she suddenly looked around and asked, "Didn't you say that King Jing personally sent the holy decree into the palace, where is King Jing now?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the queen was immediately furious.

"Bold!"

The queen stood up all of a sudden, and scolded coldly: "Concubine Shu, you have to remember your identity, as the concubine of the first emperor, how can you inquire about the whereabouts of the foreign ministers privately!" This time, the palace will not care about you, and next time, Hugh blames the palace for implementing the palace rules. ”

The queen naturally understood the purpose of Concubine Shu's desire to see Jia Baoyu, which was the last thing she was happy to see.

Since ancient times, heroes and heroes have inevitably capsized in the gutter, and she absolutely does not want to see Jia Baoyu and Shufei have any contact.

In case they have bad intentions, wouldn't it be bad for Jia Baoyu?

"Minister, the concubine is guilty, and I ask the queen to forgive ......"

Concubine Shu didn't want the queen to have such a big reaction, and she was taken aback.

Then he also knew that he was stupid, and he didn't dare to say anything more, so under the orders of the queen, he took the fourth prince Jingqi and retreated.
