Chapter 165: Different Interpretations of the Eldest Son
Seeing that Wenci's words were all said to this step of the field, Zishou believed a little bit of Wenci's actions, but there was still a trace of doubt in his heart, so he had to turn around and turn his back to Wenci in silence, Wenci naturally understood what the other party meant, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Your Highness, the ministers will go to envelop the foreign ministers, and the inner court will be handed over to Your Highness to deal with it personally, Your Highness, the king just proposed it yesterday, so that everyone was caught off guard, and now we must race against time, time waits for no one!" With that, Wen Ci took a few steps back and walked out.
After the third prince waited for the resignation to leave, he turned around, his face was cloudy, and the words just now completely moved him, especially the sentence that time does not wait for anyone, he took a deep breath, and finally made a decision, called the housekeeper outside the door and said, "Prepare immediately, I will take my son to see the queen, bring the two carts of gold and silver with me, and when the time comes, I will scatter money when I see people!" ”
"Yes!" The housekeeper urinated and followed the third prince, he could be regarded as the third prince's henchman, and he naturally saw the change of the third prince in his eyes, and immediately responded excitedly, and his heart was also excited. I took three steps and two steps to actively run down and prepare.
And after the butler left, the third prince suddenly slumped on the chair, closed his eyes and frowned, and his hands clenched more and more tightly...
Just when the third prince took his son to the carriage and walked in the direction of the palace, Taishi Ling Wenci also knocked on the doors of the important ministers who had cooperated...
That night, Di Yi came to the queen's palace tiredly, the queen who was not young stood behind Di Yi, gently kneaded on his shoulder, Di Yi felt comfortable ** a few times, the queen saw this and said, "You must pay attention to your body, I think your body was so majestic back then, like a lion, but now... ”
Di Yi was also a little embarrassed, sighed and said, "Internal and external troubles, everything is on my shoulders, and the responsibility is heavy." ”
"But no matter how busy you are, you have to pay attention to your body, don't be like the boss, he is sick at a young age, he is not thirty years old this year, but he is sick all day, I am afraid that it will not be a long-lived body in the future, but the third child is alive and well, and today I brought my grandson to see me, both of them are as strong as calves" After speaking, he chuckled a few times.
In the eyes of the queen, the three sons, which one became the prince, there is not much difference to him, but the body of the boss himself is really sick, in case he is really a short-lived monarch, even if there is a grandson to succeed to the throne, it is not a generation apart, plus the third child is alive and well, and today he has sent a lot of tribute, and the balance in his heart that is already a little tilted has fallen a little bit towards the third child.
And Di Yi frowned, in fact, he has no obvious inclination towards the matter of establishing a prince, but Wei Ziqi is the eldest son, according to tradition, he should naturally sit on the throne of the crown prince, but the next sentence is not a longevity body makes him a little worried, the Shang Dynasty since the founding of the country, passed to him, it is already a full thirtieth generation of monarchs, the first few generations are brothers and brothers, but from the middle and late periods, the father died and the son succeeded, and the middle was indeed because of the inheritance of the throne There have been a lot of dirty things, and there is more than civil strife for the throne. I'm afraid that my body won't last a few years, if Wei Ziqi doesn't have a son and leaves, I'm afraid that there will be another battle for the throne at that time, and now the Shang Dynasty can't withstand any toss, so is my decision yesterday a little hasty?
While thinking about it, Di Yi slowly became tired, and the queen ordered someone to carry Di Yi into the collapse, but her heart was up and down.
After Di Yi got up tired the next day, there was a eunuch to report, saying that Tai Shi Ling had been waiting outside the palace, and there was something important to discuss, Di Yi washed up with the help of the queen, and then came to the front hall. A different view"
At this time, Di Yi remembered his concerns last night, moved his body a few times uneasily, and asked, "What are the different opinions?" In detail. ”
"Yes, the king, the concerns of several courtiers are mainly above the status of the eldest son."
Di Yi said strangely: "The eldest son? Isn't it just a micron enlightenment? ”
Wen Ci took a deep breath, and then said, "King, this matter may be a little complicated, the queen has a total of three sons, but when the eldest prince and the second prince were born, the queen's identity was only a concubine, and the third prince born after becoming a wife is the real eldest son in legal theory... ”
Di Yi was shocked after hearing this, and suddenly became a little surprised, these courtiers are really able to talk about it, indeed, the current queen is indeed just an ordinary concubine before giving birth to the third prince, and the previous queen was deposed because she had no heirs, so it is indeed the third prince who can be called the eldest son, if it is counted like this...
But Di Yi muttered in his heart at this time, in just one day's work, the queen opened her mouth to praise the third prince, and the ministers are now beginning to pave the way for the third prince's ascendancy, as the monarch in power, Di Yi was keenly aware of a trace of danger, Di Yi suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and asked expressionlessly, "Got it, is there anything else?" ”
Wen Ci was in his heart, and said nervously, "No. . . Gone."
Di Yi snorted and said, "This matter will be put on hold for the time being, but it will be discussed later, so you can step down." ”
Wen Ci retreated in fear, and when he walked outside the hall, he found that his back was wet, and he sighed in his heart, sure enough, he is like a tiger, and it is safe to be a rich man, otherwise the head on his neck one day...
And Di Yi sat quietly after the resignation left, thinking about it for a long time with a gloomy face, and finally sighed helplessly.
It didn't take long for the cavalry of the two directions to rush out of the royal city, all the way in the direction of the Third Prince's Palace, and all the way in the direction of the new Taishi Lingwenci Mansion.
When the next person passed the order to say that the king had a will to be delivered, Wen Ci was so frightened that his legs suddenly fell and sat on the ground, and he was carried to the lobby by two servants. After speaking, he put the bamboo slip in the center of the bookcase, and left with his right hand stroking the sword.
After listening to this short royal order, he jumped up from the ground as if the whole person had returned to his soul, and he didn't care about wiping the big beads of sweat on his face, and hurriedly led the horse and rushed towards the palace of the third prince.
Waiting in front of the gate of the Three Princes' Mansion, after bolting the horse, I just saw the same three soldiers who ordered the order from the main gate of the palace, Wen Ci hurriedly got out of the way, and after the three left, he rushed into the palace without waiting for the transmission, and saw that the three princes were also sitting in the lobby, Wen Ci hurriedly stepped forward happily, regardless of the upper and lower dignity, he shook the shoulders of the three princes excitedly, and said loudly, "It's done, it's done!" ”
The third prince's confused eyes were put on Wenci's face, as if his unfocused eyes finally saw that the person was Wenci, and then he sneered weakly and said, "I have been harmed like this by you, do you still have the courage to come to my house?" Is it true that there is no one in my house, and I dare not kill you? ”
Wen Ci was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly asked the housekeeper next to him, "What punishment did the king make?" ”
The housekeeper sighed and said leisurely, "Punish my prince to join the army and be a colonel." ”
After hearing this, his eyes widened, and he hurriedly asked, "But did you depose the identity of the prince and go to the army?" ”
The housekeeper frowned and said, "This... I didn't say anything, I just said that my prince separated his brother and was punished for three years in the army."
Wen Ci swallowed a mouthful of spit, his eyes shook back and forth in his sockets, and then his face began to become excited, and he finally slapped his thigh and stood up, but his mouth shouted "Good thing, this is a good thing!" He looked down at the people in the palace again, looked at himself strangely, his expression was as pity as if he was looking at a fool, he didn't care about others, and squatted down and shook the shoulders of the third prince who was sitting on the ground and said, "King, this is handing over power!" ”
The third prince is also a prince no matter how he says, with a high political sensitivity, but in the morning after hearing that his mother was punished for three months of worship, he was a little anxious, and his heart was weak and a little drumming, and then he received a punishment order from his father, his attention was attracted by the word separation, and he thought that the east window incident, his plan and ambition were discovered by his father, and then he collapsed to the ground weakly, and then he heard the shout of the words, and then his brain was like a lightning bolt, and his brain was running rapidly, and his eyes were turning back and forth without a goal. In the end, he put his eyes on Wen Ci's face, and when the two of them met their eyes, they both saw the color of ecstasy in each other's eyes, and then the two of them laughed, making the attendants of the palace feel that these two people were afraid that they would not be able to stand the blow and lose their hearts.
After the two laughed a few times, they asked the subordinates to retreat, leaving only the housekeeper present, and said excitedly, "You go to the army as a prince, even if you are a small colonel, this is also a good opportunity to win the hearts of the army!" Today's Great Shang Dynasty is in troubled times, as long as you master the army, your identity as the crown prince is a certainty, and today the king once said to me, the matter of the prince, put aside for the time being, on the surface is to punish the two of us, in fact, it is to pave the way for your future and clear the obstacles, and prepare for your future succession! ”
