Chapter 42: The Mysterious Jing Zhonggong
"The emperor's brother was originally the crown prince, but then he was abolished, evening song, do you know why?"
"Isn't it because Jing Zhonggong's mother lost power?"
"Out of position?" The emperor smiled and shook his head: "The emperor's brother's mother doesn't even have power, how can she lose it?" ”
"What do you mean by that?" Lou Wange was puzzled.
"In fact, the royal brother was deposed as the crown prince because he was found to be not the blood of the royal family. So ......" the emperor sighed, as if he had returned to the bloody storm of the past:
"The father and the emperor favored the imperial brother's mother and concubine, and tried to make the imperial brother the crown prince, and the father insisted on going his own way, just when we thought he would continue to crown the imperial brother and mother as the queen, the imperial brother petitioned outside the Qinzheng Palace, and knelt for three days and three nights to ask for the abolition of the prince and his mother, and later it was also the father who told me that the imperial brother also told him that he was not of royal blood, and in this way, the father abolished his crown prince and transferred the title of Jingzhong Gong, and the first concubine Niangniang also fell out of favor, and then ......"
"What happened after that? How could the emperor be sure that what Jing Zhonggong said was true? Lou Wange is really puzzled.
"I'm not very clear, why did the emperor's brother personally tell his father his life experience, why did his father believe it, including why his father wanted to execute the first concubine after that but kept the emperor's brother's life, and after his father's death, he violated the royal ancestral system and buried the first concubine together, no one knows. My father didn't tell me, but just asked me to pay more attention to my brother and let him abide by the loyalty in his office. I don't know about the rest. The Emperor said carefully.
"That's the case, old man, how can you be sure that Duke Jing Zhong has no intention of competing for the throne? He has a lot of power, many supporters, and military power, and it is easy to get the throne. ”
"This, this ......" The emperor seemed to have something unspeakable, and kept avoiding her gaze.
"Old man, what are you talking about, why?" Lou Wange was a little impatient.
"Hey, the emperor's brother once came to me to talk about this problem, he said that he has no intention of taking the throne, as long as the military power, if he doesn't give it, he will ......" The emperor looked embarrassed when he said this, after all, this threatened thing is still a bit embarrassing.
"So it's said that Jing Zhonggong coerced you, his courage is really not small, and he doesn't even care about the emperor." Lou Wange was angry.
"No, no, no," the emperor hurriedly waved his hand: "That military power was originally left to him by his father, but I have always been worried that he is too powerful and has not been handed over to him, and it is normal for him to go back." ”
"You're so kind, old man. It's almost overhead ridden by someone else. As soon as someone threatens you, you compromise. By the way, who is the first concubine, if Jing Zhonggong is really not a royal bloodline, then whose child is he? What was the cause of what happened back then, and what was the cause and effect? I'd better have someone check it out. ”
"The first concubine's name is Xiangqing, and she was brought back by her father when she went to Dongliu, it seems to be a singer in a restaurant, and her specific identity is not clear. Although she has no identity background, she is not a soft character, and she has cultivated her own side of the power in the court, and when I was assassinated in the Western Regions, I suspected that it was the henchmen she cultivated. As for what happened later, it has always been a royal secret, maybe except for the father and the first concubine, or the emperor himself, no one knows about it anymore, and I don't know very well. ”
"Well, I'm going to have to check her out." Lou Wange found it interesting, she wanted to see what was going on.
"Evening-evening song," Father-in-law Hai on the side suddenly said: "Xiangqing, I seem to have heard the name Xiangqing somewhere." ”
"What? Where have you heard of it? Lou Wange excitedly grabbed Gonggong Hai's arm and asked.
"I don't remember, but I've heard the name." Hai Gonggong said with certainty.
"Alas, then you remember to tell me, since Duke Jing Zhong has no intention of taking the throne, what do you want to do with military power, and he has been mixing with these things in the imperial capital, it is not easy to do."
"That's why I got you." The emperor was somewhat gloating.
"Old man, you, you know that there is a problem for me."
