In the main room, the Wang family finally had a child, but Han Qian kept writing to ask Han Wenxin, the son of the concubine, to be the prince of Qianyang, this matter is like a stone suddenly smashing through the calm lake, although it is not a stormy wave in Jinling, it is also a layer of ripples, which makes the government and the opposition talk endlessly.

Although there was a new law of equal distribution of family property among sons in the early period of the former dynasty, and even allowed fornication to naturalize children from their fathers, political power such as clan sacrifices and favors was still strictly inherited by the eldest son; In the later period of the previous dynasty, due to the division of feudal towns and frequent wars, in order to ensure the continuation and strength of the clan power, it would not be weakened by the equal division of family property among the sons, and the eldest system even retreated for a time.

And the princely family, if the son born to the wife is really unscrupulous, it is not without a precedent for asking for abolition and reform, but there is no reason why the son-in-law can't wait to ask for the concubine just a few days after he was born.

Of course, Han Qian risked the world's disapproval to invite Lishu's eldest son, which did not cause a particularly big controversy.

Maybe outside Tangyi, more people's mentality is still thinking about watching the back house of the Qianyang Marquis Mansion, when will there be a farce of rivalry between the concubines, everyone has a good show to watch, and everyone knows very well that Han Qian has been doing nonsense all these years, what he wants to do in Tangyi, how can the outside world seem to have succeeded in stopping it.

There is no shortage of people in the government and the opposition who speculate about Han Qian's motive for choosing this time to ask for an excerpt.

To say that Han Qian was haunted by the disaster of Lanting Lane back then, and marrying Wang Wenqian's daughter was only for the purpose of political marriage that was beneficial to Tangyi, and he had no feelings for Wang Wenqian's daughter, and perhaps he had already excluded the adopted son born to Wang's daughter from the heir in his heart - this is of course a reason, otherwise Han Qian would not need to ask for a concubine in such a high-profile manner, but this is obviously not the main reason for inviting a concubine at this time.

The officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Ministry of Rites naturally wrote a letter with strong emotions to impeach the Marquis of Qianyang, but the political affairs hall was silent, and it seemed that they did not want to react to Han Qian's letter in a short time.

Of course, there was no reaction from the court, but it did not prevent Han Qian from taking some measures within Tangyi to determine the heir status of his eldest son Han Wenxin.

In other words, Han Qian didn't have to wait for the court to give any reaction at all, but through this move, he announced internally the fact that he had appointed his eldest son Han Wenxin as the heir.

At the same time as the resignation, Han Qian not only appointed Feng Yi and Guo Rong, the two leaders of Tangyi scholars, to teach the eldest son Han Wenxin Mengxue, but also ordered Kong Xirong to send a battalion to the north along Yingshui to reinforce Chenzhou at the same time that Kong Xirong took the lead in sending a battalion to reinforce Chenzhou along Yingshui in the north, and ordered the Third Town Army to be transferred to the first line of Donghu, Liyang, Wuling, and Shiquan, which are currently the core of Tangyi, and Zhao Wuji was also the commander of the Third Town Army.

Zhao Wuji, as the brother of Han Zhao and the uncle of Han Qian's eldest son Han Wenxin, although he was the first to follow Han Qian's side since the twelfth year of Tianyou, can be said to be Han Qian's most trusted descendant, but at this time, he served as the Marquis of Yu, the commander of the cavalry and the assassin of Chaozhou, and then led the commander of the third town army, and the weight of military power was above the generals of Tiancheng, Lin Haizheng, Yang Qin, Kong Xirong and other descendants......

…………

Sitting in the shade of the pavilion, Yang En, who is also in his sixties, is much better than Shen Yang, and he is not at all upset by the harsh cicadas in the garden......

Qin Wen, Xue Ruogu and Chen Ruyi, the regular attendant in the Chongwen Palace, sat on the sidelines to watch chess and serve tea; The other attendants were far away from the pond.

The main force of the sailor was destroyed in Hongzepu, Yang En once rushed to the Chaozhou camp with the Empress Dowager's edict, and persuaded the generals to act in accordance with the Empress Dowager's edict with Li Zhihe, but Yang En's actions back then were just to turn the tide of Chu, and he had no intention of throwing himself into Cishou Palace, nor did he intend to collude with Tangyi.

He has been recuperating from this illness for three or four years, or in the past two years, under the persuasion of Shen Yang, whenever there is a difficult matter to be resolved, Emperor Yanyou will send a messenger to ask Yang En's opinion, Yang En can be regarded as restoring the status of the minister participating in politics, but he still stays in the house most of the time.

Except on the day of the ceremony, he rarely went to court.

Of course, Yang En is also vigilant against the two major feudal forces of Xiangbei and Tangyi that have risen in recent years, and he has expanded the guards and pro-army, newly organized the Wuxiang army, and enabled Li Changfeng, Li Xiu and other princes of eastern Zhejiang, as well as generals such as Zhou Bingwu and Du Chongtao, and he chose to stand with Shen Yang.

However, the Mengwu people and the Weizhou rebels dug the embankment of the Yu River, so that the Yu River took Huai into the sea, and caused monstrous floods in Hehuai, Huaidong, and Huaixi, and Yang En and Shen Yang's positions were different.

In fact, after the Heshuo Incident, Yang En did not express his opposition to Han Qian's collusion with the Liang army, and even openly helped the Liang army in Guanzhong to return to Hehuai last year, and even strongly advocated that the princes of the court should pay more attention to the threat of the Muguls.

Of course, the differences between Yang En and Shen Yang on these propositions do not prevent Shen Yang from coming to Yang En to discuss anything first.

Today is also a coincidence, Chen Ruyi was in accordance with the will of Emperor Yanyou, and asked Han Qian to ask the prince of Lihou Shizi, and came to ask Yang En's opinion alone, and rushed Shen Yang to play chess in the Liyang Hou Mansion, so they sat under the pavilion and talked together.

"The Hou of Qianyang asked the concubine to give birth to Han Wenxin as the son of the Hou Shizi, this move is really risking the world's disapproval!" Chen Ruyi said with emotion.

Chen Ruyi was an apprentice brought out by Zhang Ping, and he was originally a disciple of the Late Red Mansion, but after the Jinling Incident, he was relied on by Emperor Yanyou together with his senior brother An Jixiang.

Chen Ruyi and An Jixiang may obviously be a little weak in their early years, after all, they have no prestige, and there are not a few descendants who can really be used and trusted, when Jinyun Si was disbanded, there was no room for even a word, but four or five years have passed, and there is no room for Zhang Ping and Jiang Shu to speak out in the affairs of the inner eunuch.

Chen Ruyi has not yet reached the age of thirty, but he is already quite dignified as a minister of internal service when he enters and exits the ban.

Yang En raised his eyes and glanced at Chen Ruyi, and asked:

"What's the big deal?"

Chen Ruyi was stunned, but Yang En didn't even give Emperor Tianyou face, even if he could hear the contempt in Yang En's words, he could only hate in his heart, and said: "Da Chu Law respects the former system, 'Establish a descendant with a long rather than virtuous, and establish a son with a noble rather than a long', Qianyang Hou is doing this, isn't the world chaotic?" ”

"If the set of 'standing long and noble' is useful, then the position of Emperor Liang should not be Zhu Yu sitting, the position of the Lord of Shu should not be Wang Yong, and the position of our Great Chu Son of Heaven should not be sitting today." Yang En smiled and said.

Chen Ruyi was stunned, Yang En spoke recklessly, he really didn't dare to take this indiscriminately, and glanced at Shen Yang lowering his head and fiddling with the chess pieces in his hand, and he didn't seem to care about how disobedient Yang En's words were.

"If you want to talk about breaking the rules, the Marquis of Qianyang was in Xuzhou in his early years, is it considered to break the rules? Recruiting slaves and maids to form the Chishan Army in Jinling, once said that the rich and noble have no seeds, is it considered to break the rules? In Xuzhou and Huaixi, is it considered a violation of the rules? Gonggong Chen, you came here on behalf of Your Majesty, and what you want to ask should not be whether the Marquis of Qianyang's move is in accordance with the rules, but this question should be asked to the lords of the Ministry of Rites and the lords of Zongzheng Temple, and when you come to me, you should ask whether the Marquis of Qianyang can do this, and what is the purpose of the Marquis of Qianyang's move. Yang En continued.

Chen Ruyi scolded in his heart, old turtle hair, didn't Lao Tzu have time to ask directly?

Shen Yang only took over at this time and said, "Han Qian is anxious to determine the heir and let the Zhao sisters and brothers control the internal and external affairs of East Lake, he still has to personally lead his troops to intervene in the Hehuai war!" ”

Yang En nodded, agreeing with Shen Yang's judgment:

"When the youngest son is very easy to die, even if he is born in a princely family, not everyone can grow up safely and become an adult, Han Qian made the worst plan for the situation at this time, obviously he can't set up the son of Wang Jun who was born a few days ago as the heir, the eldest son Han Wenxin is a more suitable candidate. In addition, although Zhao Wuji's military power is heavy, the Zhao family is a small family, and there is only one Zhao sister and brother, and there are no other uncles and brothers alive. If something happens to Han Qian, Zhao Wuji should at least for now do his best to assist his sister, win over the generals of Tangyi, and support Han Wenxin to grow up and inherit the family business that Han Qian has saved over the years. Replaced by Wang Jun's son, don't look at Wang Zhe, Wang Ji, Huo Xiao, Huo Li, Wang Yan and other human rights are not obvious, Wang Wenqian and more Wang children have not been accommodated in Tangyi, but with time, it is really hard to say that it is not another Xu family who has the intention to replace him. The Zhao sisters and brothers and the generals of Tangyi have also shared hardships over the years, in addition to this, most of the generals in Tangyi were born in a reckless manner, and the Han family and the Wang family are really valued in Tangyi are also concubines and sons-in-law, not sons-in-law, so Han Qian established Han Wenxin as the prince of Hou, and Tangyi may be surprised internally, but there will be no opposition - at this time, if something happens to Han Qian, Tangyi can ensure a more stable transition......"

Hearing Yang En's analysis, Xue Ruogu frowned and asked hesitantly: "The situation in Hehuai is really dangerous to this point, so that Han Qian has to arrange the future before setting out for the expedition?" ”

"Zhu Yu is a generation of heroes, and he has been beaten by the Muguls and has no power to fight back, how can the Muguls be as simple as they imagined? It's a pity that the princes of the court and the central government still don't pay enough attention," Yang En also said worriedly, "Xu Mingzhen and Sima Tan don't seem to have surrendered yet, but this is more like a trap to lure Tangyi into the past, presumably Han Qian has long expected it - Yingshui is flooding like an ocean, Zhu Yu on the west wing is attacking Heluo, and there is no need for Tangyi to directly send troops to support, no matter how many soldiers and horses can be used in Heluo, Han Qian is probably still thinking about keeping Bianjing." However, the eastern front had to bypass the fortified city guarded by Xu Mingzhen, and went up from Yingshui, and the floodplain on the east bank made it difficult for soldiers and horses to travel, only the post road that Zhu Yu had rushed to repair in the north of Chenzhou was still standing thin in the flood, and it was also the only channel for Han Qian to reinforce Bianjing. And once Xu Mingzhen and Sima Tan rebelled, this thin, flood-encircled post road was too easy to be cut off, and Han Qian had to take Bozhou and Qiaozhou in turn in order to re-establish contact with Tangyi. You say, what should Han Qian do at this time, so that he is not overly careful? ”

"Is Master Hou sure that Han Qian knows that there is a trap in front of him, and he still wants to step into it?" Chen Ruyi asked.

Chen Ruyi came to ask for advice on behalf of Emperor Yanyou, and even though Yang En looked down on him, he still replied seriously with a deep groan:

"Han Qian has always been a person who has gone off the rails, human nature is always the most difficult to change in this life, he will not really be afraid because there is a trap in front of him - this Shen Xiang and Lord Xue know this very well in their hearts, if it is possible, I would like to persuade him not to act recklessly. However, Han Qian dared to risk the world's disapproval before and help Liang Jun borrow the road from Tangyi back to Hehuai, and his view of the current situation was less optimistic than that of the princes of the court and China. And once Hehuai falls, Huaixi will face the iron cavalry of the Mengwu people, and take the initiative to attack at this time and limit the war between Hehuai and Huai, perhaps in the eyes of the Marquis of Qianyang, it is a less bad choice......"

"If you really want to let the Tangyi army enter Hehuai and kill the Mughurs, it is not a bad thing for the imperial court." Qin Wen smiled at this time.

Yang En glanced at Qin Wen with a sharp look in his eyes, and Qin Wen turned his head Yiran.

Yang En looked at Shen Yang and Xue Ruogu again and didn't make a sound to reprimand Qin Wen, and sighed secretly in his heart, knowing that they also had such thoughts, right?

"According to what the Hou Ye said, Your Majesty should approve Han Qian's excerpt this time?" Chen Ruyi asked hesitantly.

Yang En was silent.

Shen Yang put the chess pieces into the plate, stood up on the ground, and said: "That's all for today's game of chess, Master Hou really wants to share the worries of the Great Chu Society, and the affairs of the supervisor or the Ministry of Industry should be picked up, and he can't 'recuperate' in the house anymore......"

Yang En sat there and cleaned up the chess pieces, and did not respond to Shen Yang's words.

"Hey......" Shen Yang sighed lightly and said goodbye to Yang En.

Walking out of the Liyang Marquis Mansion, when Chen Ruyi was returning to the palace by car, he asked Shen Yang: "Shen Xiang, how will I return to Your Majesty after I return to the palace?" ”

Shen Yang stood under the scorching sun, and he didn't seem to feel the scorching heat, and hesitated for a while before he muttered: "Since the first emperor has given the Han family a hereditary Xuzhou, it is inconvenient for the imperial court to interfere too much. ”

Shen Yang undoubtedly said that the prince of Lihou was classified as an internal matter of the Qianyang Marquis Mansion, no matter what excerpts Han Qian made, the imperial court would play it, Chen Ruyi smiled when he heard it, and said: "Okay, I'll go back to Your Majesty like this,"
