Chapter 230: Competition
The people of the faction exchanged glances, and the people who originally belonged to the second prince straightened their waists with honor.
When Qu Miaoling received the news, Situ Huaiyong was also there.
"Miss Qu, you say, what can I do about this, if the second prince is really made the crown prince, wait until the third brother comes back......"
He didn't dare to think about that situation.
The second brother and the third brother have been fighting each other for a day or two, but there is only one throne, and the temper of the first and second brothers, he will never let go of the third brother.
He anxiously came to Qu Miaoling.
But the other party did smile mysteriously.
"What are you laughing at, hurry up and find a way! Could it be that you really want to marry Situ Huaibo? ”
Situ Huai stood up suddenly, his eyes fixed on Qu Miaoling.
"Fourth prince, don't worry, the emperor is in the prime of life, and he has just encountered chaos in the palace, will he be crowned the crown prince at this time?"
Situ Huaiyong was stunned, and Qu Miaoling continued: "The emperor is just calming everyone's hearts, these days, whether it is the courtiers or the people in Beijing, everyone is panicking, the emperor needs a reassurance, and this person can only be Situ Huaibo." ”
Listening to Qu Miaoling's explanation, Situ Huai was stunned.
"Who do you mean, my father values the second brother, just a pretense?"
"That's right."
What kind of person is Situ Qingchu, he himself has not been enough to be the emperor, how can he let others get involved, even if it is his own son.
"However, the emperor showed it like this, and the officials in the capital are afraid that they will all move."
Although the emperor did not really want to appoint the Yellow Crown Prince, the courtiers did not know that they did not stand in line in the past, but now, it is not necessarily.
was just comforted by Qu Miaoling, who knew that she immediately threw out another bomb.
"This—this—"
"When Huai Jue comes back, there should be some changes." Qu Miaoling also stood up, looked in the direction of the border pass, and sighed. A month has passed, and there has been a big change in the capital.
Especially the officials who had just become like a dynasty, a large number of them threw themselves under Situ Huaibo's door.
And some of the older ministers who are self-sufficient are still waiting.
After all, Situ Huaizhu, who fought bloodily at the border pass, his credit will not be lower than Situ Huaibo, or even higher.
And Situ Huaibo was obviously floating, after recruiting a large number of officials, she could feel it when she made several appointments with Qu Miaoling.
Situ Huaibo's every word is showing off his power, and even saying things like "the throne is destined to be his own".
She kept thinking in her heart about when Situ Huaizhu would come back.
He didn't wait for anyone to come and see, but he returned.
Hearing that Wen Xiangdong rushed back from the border pass, Qu Miaoling hurriedly asked someone to deliver the post.
Wen Xiangdong successfully escorted the grain and grass to the border pass, although he experienced horse bandits and robbery on the way, but there was no danger.
He had already prepared, and every time he passed through a place, he asked his men to go to the post station in advance and asked them to send troops to help escort him.
The horse bandits had no fear, and they intercepted several times, but they were all repulsed.
Although Wen Xiangdong was injured, he was happy in his heart.
Wen Hongzhi's calculations were in vain, and when he thought of him and Wen Xuanzhi facing each other, his smile couldn't stop floating on his face.
"Your Highness, you will live up to your mission to the east."
After seeing Qu Miaoling, he smiled and saluted.
Qu Miaoling's heart was also relaxed, seeing him like this, there must be no danger on the road.
"Thanks to His Highness's reminder, otherwise, Xiang Dong would have suffered a big loss this time."
"You've got a good arrangement."
Wen Xiangdong continued to laugh.
"When I went east to the border pass, I was fortunate to meet the three princes."
"How's he doing?"
Qu Miaoling did not shy away from it, and asked directly.
She hadn't heard from him for a long time, and she was very worried.
"The third prince has very good wires, the previous injuries on his body are almost invisible, and his spirit is also very good."
"That's good." Qu Miaoling's eyes darkened a little, and then asked, "Did he ask me?" ”
Wen Xiangdong hesitated.
"Miss Qu, I'm going to the border to transport grain and grass, and the third prince is the main general, so I don't have a chance to answer him, so-I'm sorry."
"It's okay, you've done a good job."
The grain and grass were not delivered in time, Situ Huaiju lost the battle, and the emperor was furious and almost lost his position as the commander.
As long as he's okay, she's not worried.
After talking about private matters, Qu Miaoling talked to Wen Xiangdong about business.
"After this incident, the emperor praised you a lot, what do you think."
"Miss Qu means that I fell into the eyes of the emperor?" Wen Xiangdong was overjoyed.
"Of course, this batch of grain and grass is related to the lives of the border soldiers, and it is closely related to the land of the Daling Dynasty, even if the emperor does not reward you during this time, he will definitely promote you in the future, and you have more room to rise than your boss."
In the past few days, because of Qu Miaoling's help, his career has indeed gone a lot smoother.
If it weren't for Qu Miaoling's reminder, he would definitely be planted in Wen Hong's hands this time, as for Wen Xuan, who has always been the head of Wen Hong's horse, he would look at himself with strange eyes, and the other party's ridicule and ridicule, he would be able to form in his mind without even going through it.
In case he is blamed by the emperor, even if the emperor wants his own head, it is estimated that Wen Hongzhi will only stand up and say a few words in a fake manner, "It is all up to the emperor to decide", and he will pretend to feel sorry for himself, but he is bent on the emperor and pretends to be disgusting and righteous to kill his relatives.
Wen Xiangdong wanted to vomit when he thought of the possible scene.
"I plan to let you climb up step by step and climb to a higher position than Wen Hongzhi, do you think you can?"
Qu Miaoling first drew a big pie for Wen Xiangdong, and then asked.
"I—of course I have faith."
Wen Xiangdong was excited, and his voice trembled.
This is his dream all along, to defeat the generous obsession that Wen Hongzhi and Wen Zhi belong to.
Why, the Wen family used all the strength of the whole family, so they only cultivated Wen Hongzhi, let him go to the imperial examination, and used money to smash the officials for him.
Wen Xiangdong clenched his fists.
This time, he bowed his noble head to Qu Miaoling, "Miss Qu, I, Wen Xiangdong, am willing to stand in the way of your scarf." ”
Qu Miaoling smiled.
Wen Xiangdong is a person, she finally holds it in the palm of her hand.
"Your Highness, can I vote for Situ Huaibo's name and gain his trust."
She knew that the person in Qu Miaoling's heart was not Situ Huaibo, and he knew even more that the person Qu Miaoling buried in her heart was.
"If you have to look at the situation in the future, you can vote for Situ Huaibo's name and weaken his vigilance, but you have to weigh all this."
"Xiang Dong understands, please let go of Your Highness, Xiang Dong has only you as the master in his heart."
Qu Miaoling nodded.
and Wen Xiangdong left separately.
The eldest prince was imprisoned, and his men died and were locked up, and some fled in all directions, but they were soon arrested and brought to justice.
The Son of Heaven was furious, and millions of corpses were ambushed.
The emperor gave an order, raided the house, and wiped out the clan, and everyone in Beijing was in danger for a while, for fear that they would be singled out for drinking with the eldest prince before.
There were two massacres in the capital, one was when the prince forced the palace, and the other was when the emperor was liquidated.
The people were closed, the shops were closed, and there was almost no one on the streets.
The people were all housed, and the streets were more lined with officers and soldiers.
When pairs of officers and soldiers walked by, several people must have been arrested.
After a few days of massacre, the people were a little more emboldened.
And above the court, there was also a burst of bloody rain.
The people of the great prince were cleared out, and some of the remaining were killed, and many official positions were vacated, and even the soldiers were killed in this battle.
Bingbu Langzhong is from the fifth grade, and it is an official position with real power.
Wen Hongzhi has been eyeing it for a long time, and his son has been in the household for a long time, if he moves well this time, he should be able to sit in this position.
Wen Wen Hongzhi invited the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who was in charge of the officials, and the two drank bitterly, and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites naturally agreed.
And the emperor asked Situ Huaibo to join the military department, but he only came into contact with civilian positions, and core positions, such as Langzhong, he couldn't reach them.
Situ Huaibo was anxious in his heart, the last time the emperor saw his performance, he was overjoyed, and he also chose the method he proposed to streamline the internal part of the military department, but his position was not transferred.
This made Situ Huibo anxious, whether the emperor would find an excuse in the future and transfer him out of the military department.
Sure enough, the day came.
The emperor called him to the imperial study, first chattered, and then asked how he was doing in the military department.
Situ Huaibo replied, and when the emperor heard this, he immediately said: "Emperor, I think that it is really condescending to keep you in the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites is very busy these days, and you have a lot of ideas, so you will be transferred to the Ministry of Rites first, and then I will transfer you back after this busy time, how about it?" ”
Situ Huaibo didn't dare to refuse, arched his hands and said respectfully: "Obey my father's dispatch." ”
Situ Qingshu's eyes kept staring at him, and after he walked out of the imperial study, his face pulled down.
Huh——
The emperor's hand is really subtle, not only can he not refuse, but he also has to show a smile as if he has inherited the great grace of the saint.
However, the Ministry of Rites will not be wrong, that is, he gave up the military power in his hands, and his heart aches.
was upset, so he went to Qu Miaoling to explain.
After Qu Miaoling heard this, he was relieved in his heart, Situ Huaibo left the military department, which was only beneficial to Situ Huaiju. No drawbacks.
Although she was happy in her heart, she still had to pretend to be empathetic and said: "Your Highness, the emperor's move is to egg you, if you are a child and hold the military department, I am afraid that the emperor will be more suspicious of you, and when the time comes, it will really be useless to ascend to the throne with you." ”
Qu Miaoling's words are reasonable, and of course Situ Huaibo knows it, but he just can't get over this hurdle in his heart.
"Your Highness, take a step back, for the sake of the future."
Qu Miaoling followed and said.
Situ Huaibo nodded at this time, and reluctantly accepted.
Wen Hongzhi walked around, and sure enough, after the transfer of the ministry, Wen Xiangdong was transferred to the military department because of his outstanding achievements in the household department.
The corners of Wen Xuanzhi's mouth bloomed with joy, and as soon as he received the appointment, he went to Wen Hongzhi and told him about it.
Wen Hongzhi just touched his beard, and his smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes.
"Choose a date, your father has high expectations for you, and you don't want to live up to your father's expectations of you."
"Rest assured by the father, the son will do things seriously."
"That's good."
Although Situ Huaibo launched the military department, engraved in the interior, he installed a lot of his own people, and the other five departments, he also installed many of his own people.
Wen's illness is abnormal, the whole person is abnormally peaceful, the daily invitation of the concubine has been canceled, even if she comes to ask for an appointment from time to time, she doesn't speak with thorns, and it seems that she doesn't even have the heart to toss those concubines.
Several concubines hesitated, but Wu Dehou was enough for them to parry, and they couldn't spare time to do anything else.
The quiet in the mansion is excessive, Wu Dehou is not aware of it, except for venting on the body of the woman in the mansion, and the depression received in the court, he will also send it to the Knowles.
Wu Dehou didn't come for a long time, and Knowles tried his best to coax Dance and Ou Sanwu to come from time to time.
The snub a while ago made the Wu family afraid, and now he didn't dare to mention the matter of letting Wu Dehou marry him into the mansion, after all, there are three concubines in the Hou Mansion now, not counting the Wen family and Yuan Qiongyu.
If she goes in, it will be better to be happy outside the house.
So, when Wu Dehou came, she coaxed him to buy clothes and accessories for herself.
They are all things made by the Pavilion, not only exquisite and good-looking, but also considerable, even if that day, he is old and decrepit, and he will rely on it for the rest of his life.
It's just—
After waiting for clouds and rain with Wu De, she nestled in his arms, touching her belly with one hand.
There is no movement here, and it is clear that Wu Dehou works very hard every time he comes.
She gritted her teeth and decided to ask someone to find a mother-in-law who knew this thing tomorrow and let her give her advice.
After thinking about it, she also fell asleep.
