Chapter 100: The Crown Prince
Lingwu Palace, the crown prince's canonization ceremony was held in the spring of April, the recipient is the king of Chu Li Li, the ceremony, the emperor gave the name of the prince, a single name of a Yu word, take the word 'Yu' peaceful, the meaning of recreation, the name of the emperor, the glory to.
In the Qingning Palace.
Bang! A delicate porcelain vase was heavily dropped to the ground, and the broken porcelain pieces were scattered and splashed, and then, another delicate copper leak was pushed down heavily, smashed in the hall, and the water stains were splashed everywhere, and the eunuchs and maids in the hall were trembling at the moment, kneeling on the ground, not daring to make a sound.
"Why! Why! Why did His Majesty still choose Li Li as the crown prince! Why! The queen was scattered, grabbed a porcelain bottle on the case with one hand, and fell heavily to the ground.
At this time, a eunuch came to report that "Empress Qiyu, the marching master Sima Li has arrived"
"Marching Master Sima Li? Who? ”
"Just... It is Lord Li Fuguo, Lord Li, on the canonization ceremony today, the marching Sima of the emperor's entitlement."
"Li Fuguo? What else do you report for this shit! Don't let him in yet! The queen said angrily, but she picked up a glass cup and threw it at the eunuch.
With a bang, the glass cup hit the threshold and turned into a little crumb, just at this moment, Li Fuguo stepped into the hall, and when he saw the queen like this, he was not surprised at all, but gave a salute with a smile: "Old minister Li Fuguo, see the queen's mother"
"Yo, isn't this the marching Lord Sima Li, it feels good to be an official and a knight," the queen sneered.
"Queen Mother, guarantee the phoenix body, this will anger the body."
"Guaranteed phoenix body! Li Li has become the crown prince! Li Fuguo, you said it at the beginning, as long as the two of us join forces, we will definitely not let Li Jiao become the crown prince, but now? What now? Your Majesty has personally named Li Li as the crown prince! You say, are you playing with Hongu! The queen's eyes widened, and she was obviously extremely angry.
Li Fuguo just smiled and said in a soft voice: "The queen is angry, this is not a nonsense to say." ”
The queen realized her gaffe just now, and hurriedly waved her subordinates away, and asked with a cold snort, "What else do you have to say now?" ”
Li Fuguo sneered, "Hehe, the queen mother must know that Li Jiao is the eldest son of His Majesty, and it is sooner or later to become the crown prince, this is a rule that has not changed for a hundred years, and we can't act rashly." ”
"However, with this rule, I gave up the position of the crown prince to Li Jiao! Hongu is not reconciled! The queen said through gritted teeth.
"Don't be anxious about the queen" Li Fuguo laughed a few times: "Although the crown prince position was given to Li Jiao, he may not be able to sit still in this position." ”
The queen's eyes suddenly lit up: "Oh? What does Master Li mean by this? ”
Li Fuguo replied unhurriedly: "Queen Mother, you can't be in a hurry, now it seems that Li Jiao is a new promotion, and he has to be given a name by His Majesty, with the emperor's favor and trust inside, and Guo Ziyi and Yan Feng outside to fight for him, and recover the two capitals, it is when he is in his prime, at this time, we must be very careful, not in a hurry······
The queen sneered: "Don't be in a hurry? Li Jiao: We don't have all the conditions! Although the department is now the king of Zhao, he has no real power in the army, how can you let me not be in a hurry? ”
"Eh, Niangniang's words are bad, the queen has much more than that Li Jiao. Hehe" Li Fuguo smiled gloomily.
"Don't laugh! Say it quickly, are you going to die in a hurry! The queen said coldly.
"Niangniang, don't be in a hurry, let Lao Chen say slowly," Li Fuguo said slowly.
"Say it quickly! Now that Li Jiao has been canonized as the crown prince, His Majesty is not in good health, if His Majesty is confused for a while..." The queen said urgently.
"Eh, Your Majesty is not confused, Your Majesty is the most shrewd person the old minister has ever seen" Li Fuguo said in a low voice: "Marshal's Mansion Marching Sima, do you know why Your Majesty gave the official to the old minister?" ”
"Why, it's not that you old thing coaxes you every day with kind words and waits for you," the queen asked angrily.
"The queen's words are bad again, in this Lingwu Palace, I don't know how many people are serving, serving the emperor is better than the old ministers, there are more good things to say than the old ministers, and there are not a few people who add officials to the knighthood, however, there is only one old minister who was awarded the official title in the prince's canonization hall, Niangniang, didn't you notice Your Majesty's intentions?"
"Your Majesty's intentions····· Marshal's Mansion Marching Sima ···· Well? Isn't Li Jiao a marshal of soldiers and horses? "The queen is the queen after all, and the woman who can climb to this position is more thoughtful in addition to the emperor's grace. The queen suddenly figured it out and exclaimed, "Could it be that Your Majesty wants you to contain it!" ”
"Shhhh Niangniang is really smart, although His Majesty canonized Li Li as the crown prince, but he is not at ease with him, and among all the courtiers, His Majesty is the only one who is at ease with the old ministers, so although Li Li is now the prince, he will be restrained by you and me" Li Fuguo said in a strange voice.
"But you little Sima, how can you do anything else with the prince's hands and feet?" The queen couldn't help but frown and asked.
"Of course, of course, only one old minister will not pose a threat to the crown prince, but Niangniang has never thought about it, why would His Majesty install me in the Marshal's Mansion?"
The queen thought for a long time, but shook her head.
"Don't worry, let Lao Chen tell you a story, a few days ago, the canonization ceremony is imminent, and the palace is preparing for this ceremony, but at this time, a small official in the marshal's mansion wrote a secret letter, and then submitted it to the Ministry of War, telling Li Li to raise private soldiers, Your Majesty does not believe it, and ordered a strict investigation of this little official who wrote a letter, but where did you expect that this little official violated military law the day before and was executed by Li Li, which can arouse His Majesty's suspicions, first of all, no fool will be so bold and will falsely accuse the prince, second, The whistleblower told the day before yesterday that he was killed for violating military law yesterday, how could there be such a coincidence, but His Majesty saw that the canonization ceremony was coming, and it was not good to question Li Jiao directly, for fear of hurting the feelings of father and son, so he took the opportunity of the canonization ceremony to seal the old minister as the marshal's mansion, so that the old minister could enter the marshal's mansion, Niangniang understands? ”
"A small official actually dares to falsely accuse Li Jiao? And dead again? How can there be such a coincidence... Well? It's you! Thinking of this, the queen suddenly exclaimed in a low voice.
Li Fuguo laughed gloomily a few times, "That's right, it was the old minister who planned it, but he paid the price of a thousand taels of silver, and promised to support his old mother for him, so that the little official was willing to die, and I had to sigh the weight of family affection, hehe"
"You old fox, you are really cunning, I guess Li Jiao didn't expect it, haha" The queen finally smiled, and her excitement was beyond words.
"Leave this aside for the time being, Niangniang, there are more happy things, let Lao Chen tell Niangniang slowly"
"yes, say it quickly!" Obviously, in the eyes of the queen, today's Li Fuguo is particularly cute.
In the Qingning Palace, there were bursts of chilling laughter from time to time, and the maids and eunuchs waiting outside the door only felt a chill behind them, and for a while, some wanted to escape······
