Chapter 33: Before the Crowning of the King (2)
July of the 33rd year of Anti.
Emperor Lu Hua'an issued an edict, and three days later, the third prince Lu Jiuyuan was crowned king.
At the same time, an edict was issued to let the third prince Lu Jiuyuan participate in the court meeting three days later to seal the king.
This time Kyoto was a real storm, and although the previous times had a huge impact, it was still much smaller than this one.
The third prince, Lu Jiuyuan, was crowned the king when the three-legged throne was established, but those who knew the real situation did not think so.
The power of the eldest prince Jade King in the court is basically covering the sky with one hand, and the second prince Yu Wang has to avoid its edge, but the power and background of the Jade King are too strong.
Although the second prince Yu Wang is not as good as the Jade King, his power is not bad, and the Jade King's mother concubine Tian Guifei is the richest person in the Qingyu Dynasty.
The third prince Lu Jiuyuan is weak, although he has the support of the queen, but he is still relatively weak, even the support of his uncle Zhang Jiulong, the right minister, is not comparable to the Jade King and the Yu King.
Therefore, the three-legged stand is not valid at all, this is just a layman's point of view, and insiders ignore the third prince Lu Jiuyuan, because they can't see hope in the third prince Lu Jiuyuan.
However, this point happened to follow Lu Jiuyuan's wishes, except for the two prime ministers, Lu Jiuyuan no longer looked down on those ministers in the court, and he didn't need them in the future, anyway, they had done a lot of bad things.
At the same time, the Qingyu Palace in the harem, the Qingyu Palace is the palace of the concubine of the wind and the language, and the palace is full of precious items, which seems to be particularly luxurious.
In the hall of Qingyu Palace, there were three people sitting in turn, the last position was Duan Long, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and the most expensive position was a woman, this woman was Yan Guifei Feng Yuyan.
Among Duan Long, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and Concubine Yan is the eldest prince Lu Jinyu Jade King, but the fifteen-year-old Jade King, it is really good to have the sixfold strength of the day after tomorrow, but he is only a leader, and there is still a distance compared with those real Tianjiao.
However, for the Jade King, strength is not too important, having a strong force is really important, after all, it is generally not the one in power, so it will lose its identity.
"Lord Duan, is Lu Jiuyuan's leg really useless?"
Concubine Yan looked at the Jade King and Duan Long, and first asked Duan Long about whether Lu Jiuyuan's leg was really broken, which was very crucial to her son Jade King.
Emperor Lu Huaan has always favored Lu Jiuyuan, and all the people in the harem know that the emperor will agree to Lu Jiuyuan's request, otherwise how could Lu Jiuyuan get out of the palace seven years ago.
"Don't worry, Concubine Niangniang, Lu Jiuyuan's leg subordinate guarantee has been completely abolished."
Duan Long is not a martial artist and does not know that a strong person in the Grandmaster Realm can cure Lu Jiuyuan, although the Jade King knows that a strong Grandmaster can cure Lu Jiuyuan, but Duan Long did not tell the Jade King that there is a strong Grandmaster by Lu Jiuyuan's side.
Duan Long was a spy sent by the mother concubine of a prince of the Fengyu Empire, some of them were monitoring Yan Guifei, and some of them wanted to find out the information of the Qingyu Dynasty, and then send this information back to the Fengyu Empire.
It's just that Duan Long didn't expect that his official position was getting bigger and bigger, and now he has reached the position of the secretary of the criminal department, if he wants not to give up, the only thing that greets him is that his family is ruined, so he can only insist on being this spy.
"It's really cheap, that little bastard, if someone hadn't saved him back then, he would have died a long time ago, and there would still be such troubles."
"By the way, Yu'er still has Duan Shangshu, have you heard the news about Lu Jiuyuan's title of king and where the fief is?"
For those people sent by the Fengyu Empire to the Qingyu Dynasty, the Fengyu Empire did not tell Concubine Yan, and Duan Long did not tell Concubine Yan, so Concubine Yan and the Jade King were still kept in the dark.
And the fire seven years ago was deliberately set by Concubine Yan, because no one dared to do anything to her in the Qingyu Dynasty, and the emperor did not do anything to her when she framed the queen's first child, so she became even more bold, so the fire seven years ago was also a little blatant, and there were many officials who were also deliberately framed by her.
"Mother, the retainer didn't hear about Lu Jiuyuan's crown, but I don't know if Lord Duan has heard about it."
"Xiaguan, like the prince, has not heard any rumors."
It was normal that the Jade King and Duan Long had not heard it, and Emperor Lu Huaan had not said anything related to Lu Jiuyuan's crown, and once there were rumors, it would not be empty, otherwise there would not be such a rumor.
"I didn't expect the emperor to still have such a preference for Lu Jiuyuan's little mongrel, and it has never decreased as it did back then, and the same is true for the queen."
The more Yan Guifei talked, the more angry she became, and she didn't expect it to be the same for Lu Jiuyuan, but she didn't expect it to be the same for the queen, and she was named a princess as soon as Lu Liyuan was born, which was something that had never happened in Kyushu, but Emperor Lu Huaan did it.
And the Jade King couldn't guess the reason, but Duan Long knew very well, as a bystander, Duan Long knew why Yan Guifei fell out of favor, it was really Yan Guifei who was too ruthless, if it weren't for the immortality of the Fengyu Empire, she would be beaten into the cold palace.
Over the years, Concubine Yan Guifei has killed many innocent people with her ruthless methods, and she doesn't know how many big families she has destroyed, these are all in Duan Long's eyes, even trivial matters Duan Long's subordinates have checked.
That emperor hopes that there is such a vicious concubine in his harem, I am afraid that there is no one, Duan Long said the truth in his heart, if Concubine Yan was not the former princess of the Fengyu Empire, she would have been executed by Emperor Lu Hua'an.
"Duan Shangshu, find a way to unite with all our officials, and stop the emperor immediately once that little bastard's conditions for sealing the king are good."
"Yes, concubine."
"Alright, you go down first."
"Yes, concubine."
In fact, Duan Long didn't really want to come to this Qingyu Palace, Concubine Yan's strength may not work in some places, and the result of the emperor announcing the matter of sealing the king at the court meeting is to avoid the opposition of all the ministers, even if all the ministers oppose it, it will not be useful.
Without really understanding the current emperor Lu Huaan, his ambitions, his hiding is deeper than anyone else, as long as he makes a decision about something, it is impossible to change, and this time is the same.
"Mother, why are you still worried about Lu Jiuyuan, doesn't he have no power? What else is there to threaten to this king? ”
After Duan Long, the secretary of the Criminal Department, left, the Jade King asked Concubine Yan, it is true that the information of all the investigations turned out that Lu Jiuyuan would not affect the status of the Jade King at all, and there was no need to be so protective of landing Lu Jiuyuan.
"Hehe, Yu'er, don't think of Lu Jiuyuan too simply, it is definitely not easy for him to survive outside the palace for seven years, and do you think your father is really so simple?"
"Your father has a lot of hidden methods, but I tried a lot of ways to hide it, he hid too deeply, and do you think Duan Shangshu is really that simple?"
It turns out that Concubine Yan is also a person who is good at disguise, but unlike others, Concubine Yan's disguise is by doing some things that the emperor doesn't like, but she can't go beyond the emperor's final bottom line, so Concubine Yan is the wisest in the harem.
But it's a pity that Concubine Yan's wisdom is all used in bad places, framing virtuous ministers and killing Zhongliang, and the future dynasty will definitely decline if it falls into the hands of the Jade King, after all, the dynasty is not necessarily the Jade King in power at that time.
"What do you mean?"
Hearing that the Jade King was also a little surprised, the Jade King had never heard Yan Guifei talk about this matter, in the impression of the Jade King, Yan Guifei was very strict with her teachings, so she was very afraid of Yan Guifei, and many things were decided by Yan Guifei.
And the Jade King is much stronger than King Yu and the fifth prince Lu De in terms of wisdom and strategy, but he is too limited by Concubine Yan, and the Jade King rarely contributes to strategy, so few people think that his strategy is outstanding.
"Yu'er, your real enemy in the current Qingyu Dynasty is only Lu Jiuyuan, King Yu and the Five Princes are not at all, and it will not have any impact on you, as long as you guard against Lu Jiuyuan, the throne must be yours."
"And do you think that with the emperor's preference, he will not secretly help Lu Jiuyuan? It's you who think about the problem simply, Lu Jiuyuan and the emperor are not simple. ”
Concubine Yan's speculation was exactly the same as what Gonggong Cao said to Emperor Lu Hua'an that day, which means that in the future Qingyu Dynasty, only Lu Jiuyuan and the Jade King will compete for the throne.
As for Concubine Yan's speculation about Emperor Lu Huaan and Lu Jiuyuan, it is not reasonable, Concubine Yan played some secret chess in the Qingyu Dynasty when she was married, but she didn't expect it to be used for almost twenty years, but it did help a lot.
It is a little difficult for these dark chess to investigate Lu Jiuyuan, after all, Lu Jiuyuan has always been protected by Gai Nie, a strong grandmaster, although Lu Jiuyuan is not easy to investigate, but for Lu Jiuyuan's subordinate Li Ru, it is good to investigate, but he has not investigated much useful information.
However, these secret chess pieces brought great joy to Concubine Yan, they found that someone in the Fengyu Empire had intervened, and the direct person was Duan Long, the secretary of the Criminal Department, so Concubine Yan used Duan Long to help her get rid of many enemies.
And with the secret help of a prince of the Fengyu Empire, isn't the battle for the throne much simpler, so that when the time comes, you can control the Qingyu Dynasty and get rid of the clutches of the Fengyu Empire.
