(Thank you 18991899 for your support, thank you!) οΌ‰

When Yi Feng left his official hall, Yang Su immediately asked people to find his brother Yang Yue, and called his eldest son Yang Xuangan to observe. After listening to what his brother said about what had just happened here, Yang Yue walked to the window and looked at the courtyard outside, and then walked back to the couch under the wall on one side and sat down.

"It's a smart guy."

Thinking that the young King Zhao was not stunned by the three words of the emperor's grandson, Yang Yue added another comment: "He is still quite ambitious." ”

Before Yang Su returned to the public case, he became preoccupied.

Although he is now sitting in the position of Shangshu's right servant, he has even become the actual leader of Shangshu Province. But he also knows very well that if he can sit in this position today, he will most likely lose this position tomorrow. When he is in his position, the ability to deal with things is actually not the first important, the most important thing is to stand in line. No matter how capable you are, if you are on the wrong team, you will fall into a place of no return. If he could, he didn't want to get involved in the struggle for the throne of the prince, but when it came to his position, he couldn't avoid it. He can either choose to take sides with a bet, or he can only get up and give way. He was reluctant to get up and give way, and even if he wanted to, those opponents wouldn't let him leave with peace of mind.

He has already chosen the side of King Jin to bet, and it is not only his official title that he will bet on, but also the future of the Hongnong Yang family.

"Can King Zhao really refuse the temptation of the position of the emperor's grandson?" Yang Xuan asked himself, if it was himself, he would never be able to refuse such a temptation. He compares his heart to his heart. thought that Yang Lin would not be able to refuse, even if it was so light, he refused. He felt that Yi Feng was not telling the truth. Maybe he may not really fall to the side of the prince now, but his heart must have been shaken. "Maybe he wants to bet on both sides. Or if you want to wait and see, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and reap the benefits of the fisherman. ”

"But he is not the son of the crown prince, even if he stands on the side of the prince now for the position of the crown prince, and the prince will ascend the throne in the future, will he still let Yang Lin be his crown prince?" Yang Su asked rhetorically.

"It's a really tough choice." Yang Yue also sighed. "It's better to sue King Jin directly, this matter depends on King Jin's own decision."

Yang Su asked Yang Yue, "Do you think King Jin will believe King Zhao?" ”

"It's hard, but it's hard to believe. Is there anything better to do it? Yang asked about it.

"Let King Jin make up his own mind."

In the afternoon, Yang Su went to see Yang Guang to discuss the reasons for the Northern Expedition. After seeing Yang Guang, he immediately asked Yang Guang to get rid of the rest of the idle people, and then truthfully reported the matter to Yang Guang, and also said the last sentence that Yi Feng asked him to convey to show his loyalty.

Yang Guang's face suddenly became difficult to look at, he didn't expect such a change to occur suddenly. Today's Yang Lin is no longer the Yi Feng of yesterday. Today's Yang Lin's status and rights have made Yang Guang unable to despise them. He became an important force in the power of the court. If Yi Feng fell to the crown prince, the strength of the two sides would change greatly.

"What does Yue Gong think?"

Yang Su thought about it, and still answered truthfully: "I think that King Zhao is a very smart person, and he shouldn't be tempted by this surface. The so-called matter of the crown prince asking King Zhao to be the emperor's grandson. I think it's just a hoax. Even if he really asked the Son of Heaven to make Yang Lin the grandson, even if the emperor really made Yang Lin the grandson because of this, but in fact. His grandson is only equivalent to the prince's son. If the prince really wants to be the emperor, he has to wait until the prince becomes the emperor. You have to be the crown prince first, and then you can inherit the throne in the future. But that's too far away, full of uncertainties. And what is the real relationship between King Zhao and the crown prince. Presumably, King Zhao himself knew it, so as long as King Zhao did not lose his mind, then he would clearly realize that this qiΔ“ was just a scam by the crown prince to stabilize his own position. ”

"Do you believe Yang Lin?" Yang Guang asked.

"If King Zhao chooses to side with the prince, it will not do him any good, I believe that King Zhao is a smart person."

Yang Guang nodded, and sighed expressionlessly: "You mean that you don't believe in King Zhao's so-called loyalty, but just think that he is a smart person and knows what is best for him?" ”

Yang Su was silent, actually acquiescing to Yang Guang's words.

"Come on, please Zhang Heng, Duan Da, Yu Wenshu, and Guo Yan to come." In the face of such a major event, Yang Guang was still very cautious, and he called his four confidants to discuss the matter.

After Xiao Chen Pingyu Wenshu sat there and listened to Yang Su's narration, his mind quickly turned, "King Jin, Duke Yue, I want to ask, if the crown prince really asks the Son of Heaven to appoint King Zhao as the emperor's grandson, how much can this matter be done?" ”

Zhang Heng also agreed with this question, "Since ancient times, there has never been a precedent for the crown prince to be a grandson while the crown prince is alive, and when Emperor Wencheng of the Northern Wei Dynasty Tuoba Jun was in the reign of his grandfather Taiwu Emperor Tuoba Tao, he only had to maintain the title of the grandson of the emperor." In the first year of Yongkang in the Western Jin Dynasty, Emperor Hui Empress Jia Nanfeng killed the crown prince Sima Shu, and Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, used this as an excuse for a coup d'Γ©tat, and after killing Jia, the son of the prince, Sima Zang, the king of Linhuai, was the emperor's grandson, and Sima Zang was the emperor's grandson, also after the prince died. In the eleventh year of Yongming in the Southern Qi Dynasty, Emperor Wu also established his son Xiao Zhaoye, the king of Nanjun, as the emperor's grandson after the death of the crown prince Xiao Changmao. As far as I know, after being officially canonized as the emperor's grandson, there are only the two imperial grandsons of the Western Jin Dynasty and the Southern Qi Dynasty in each dynasty, and Emperor Wencheng of the Northern Wei Dynasty only maintains the title of the emperor's grandson. Now that the crown prince is still alive and has not been deposed, what reason is there to make the emperor the grandson? ”

In essence, the grandson is actually the same as the younger brother and the uncle, all of them are the names of the princes after the prince, but the prince is the son of the emperor, the younger brother is the younger brother of the emperor, the uncle is the emperor's uncle, and the grandson is the grandson of the emperor, or the grandson is the son of the late prince as the prince.

Now the prince is alive and well, although his status is unstable, he has not been abolished, according to the system of previous dynasties, there is no reason to establish the emperor and grandson now.

Yu Wenshu and Zhang Heng both grasped the point of this matter, if the prince has no reason to make a grandson, then this matter should not be a problem.

Yang Su doesn't think so, he is the prime minister and often has contact with the emperor, so he knows the emperor well, especially the emperor today, which is becoming more and more unpredictable. "Whether there is a precedent or not is not the most important thing, there is no precedent, the emperor can set a precedent. For example, who has ever heard of the official position of governor in a certain dynasty before, and he is also a vice minister? There were no dynasties, but the emperor set this precedent-setting position for King Zhao. None of us can guarantee that the emperor will not set a precedent for King Zhao and make him the emperor's grandson. With the emperor's current favor to King Zhao, if the crown prince really asks for King Zhao to be appointed as the grandson, I think maybe His Majesty will really agree. Yesterday, the emperor and empress also asked people to give gifts to King Zhao and send a message, asking King Zhao to walk around the East Palace more often and get close to the crown prince. ”

"In that case, the most important thing now is King Zhao's attitude." Yuwen recounted.

Yang Su expressed his worries for Yang Guang, "I'm afraid that King Zhao will shake his position because of this and turn to the side of the prince." Now that King Zhao is strong, if he switches to the crown prince, it will be very unfavorable to us. ”

"I think it's a bit too unfounded. King Zhao is a smart man, and it is impossible to draw cakes for the crown prince and tempt the past. ”

"I hope so." Yang Guang said a little helplessly, in this matter, in fact, it was not the crown prince or him who made the final decision, nor even King Zhao, but the Son of Heaven. If the Son of Heaven really wants to crown King Zhao as the grandson, then no one can change it.

Daxing Palace, the queen's dormitory palace.

The slightly obese prince wiped the sweat on his head with a handkerchief from time to time, and was looking at the emperor and empress anxiously.

"Make King Zhao the grandson?" Queen Dugu was holding a jade Ruyi in her hand, and looked at Yang Yong puzzled, "Why did you suddenly think of this." ”

The prince tried his best to pretend to be sad, "When the Yuan Concubine was in a car accident on the road to the province, Sumeru fell to the people, and the Yuan family was depressed and unhappy from then on, and later died of heart disease, but there are those people with bad intentions who rumored that the Yuan Concubine was poisoned and murdered by the Yun family. Fortunately, Sumeru recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, but those rumors outside reached his ears, so that he always thought that Concubine Yuan's violent death was murdered by the Yun family, so after returning to Beijing, he has always had prejudices against me, I asked him to return to the East Palace several times, but he refused. Between father and son, such a relationship really made the sons feel uneasy. But he can't be blamed for this, it's all about making people. The sons thought about it, and asked their father and queen mother for an order, and asked for an order to canonize Sumeru as the grandson, so that Sumeru should understand that I am honest and honest to him. Although he has been in exile for many years, but now that he has returned, he is still my eldest son, and if I can inherit the throne in the future, he will be my crown prince. When I am a hundred years old, the dynasty will be in his hands. ”

Yang Jian and his wife were a little moved by these words, they hated Yang Yong before, and part of the reason was their dislike for the Yun family and the Yun family's sons. The Dugu clan even thought that if Yang Yong inherited the throne in the future, would he want the Yun family to be the crown prince?

"Erchen only hopes to be in harmony with Sumeru's father and son, and Erchen also knows that although Sumeru has been away for many years, he is a capable person, who can be literate and martial, martial arts can be anbang, and civil can govern the country. As long as the father and the queen mother allow, in the future, His Majesty can directly pass the throne to Sumeru, and the son is willing to be a carefree emperor. ”

When Yang Jian heard this, his eyes couldn't help but widen a lot, he turned his head to look at Queen Dugu, and a streamer flashed in their eyes. (To be continued......)
