Chapter 826: Judging the Situation (Second Update)

Zhao Xinyue and Hongluan's voices were crisp, so that everyone present heard the words of the two, and they were all surprised by this, no one thought that these two beautiful women who were like flowers and jade would actually be concubines for the dead Li Yuntian, wouldn't this be a widow for a lifetime?

Moreover, if Zhao Xinyue and Hongluan do this, they will have no children and no daughters, and they are destined to be lonely for a lifetime, this kind of suffering is not something that anyone can bear.

"You have to think about it, once you enter the gate of the Guogong Mansion, you will be lonely for life." Zhou Yuting naturally knew the friendship between Zhao Xinyue and Hongluan for Li Yuntian, judging from the posture of the two today, they had made up their minds to marry Li Yuntian as a concubine, but she couldn't bear it and solemnly reminded her.

"County Lord, after Grandpa Guo left, our hearts have died, although we can't be by Grandpa Guo's side in life, so we are willing to accompany us after death." A sad smile flashed at the corner of Zhao Xinyue's mouth, and she looked at Zhou Yuting faintly.

"Since this is the case, then the lord of this county will take the two of you as the concubines of the grandfather of the country." Zhou Yuting's eyes flashed with a look of helplessness, and after a deep groan, she agreed to Zhao Xinyue and Hongluan, she knew that if the two of them could make up their minds to come to the Zhenguo Mansion, they would already be ruined and had no way out.

"Lord Xie!" Zhao Xinyue and Hongluan hurriedly knelt down to Zhou Yuting when they heard this, and with Zhou Yuting's words, the two of them were already Li Yuntian's concubines.

Subsequently, under Zhou Yuting's signal, Zhao Xinyue and Hongluan knelt in the family, and many officials at the scene shook their heads secretly when they saw this, feeling sorry for these two beautiful young women, who had to be widowed at a young age.

No one realized that the corners of Lei Ting's mouth, who was kneeling on the side behind Zhou Yuting, showed a subtle smile, if it weren't for Li Yuntian's accident this time, it would be difficult for Zhao Xinyue and Hongluan to pierce this layer of window paper, since the two of them have a deep love for Li Yuntian, then Li Yuntian must also be willing to marry them as concubines.

The news that Zhao Xinyue and Hongluan became his concubines in front of Li Yuntian's spirit soon spread throughout the city, and while feeling the deep friendship between the two of them for Li Yuntian, many people felt worthless for the two of them, and they would face a lonely life in the future.

Empress Dowager Zhang was greatly touched when she learned of this, and asked Empress Sun to make a decree so that Zhao Xinyue and Hongluan could "inherit the glory of the main room and enjoy the title of the wife", and became the "lady" of Zhengsanpin like Lei Ting and others, in recognition of the two of them for Li Yuntian's festival.

When this matter reached Li Yuntian's ears, he was playing against Hu Yitu in the stable office of Taifu Temple, he was slightly stunned at first, and then there was a warm current in his heart, never imagined that Zhao Xinyue and Hongluan would give up marrying for him, and would rather stay alone in the boudoir.

"Resurrection, your good fortune is not shallow." Hu Yitu smiled and dropped the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard, feeling happy for Li Yuntian in his heart, to have such two infatuated confidants.

"Uncle Hu, the two of them are too stupid." Li Yuntian smiled, pinched a chess piece in the chess jar and said while observing the chess game.

"Fools have their own foolish blessings, if they weren't driven to a corner, I'm afraid they wouldn't have mustered up the courage to go to the Zhenguo Mansion." Hu Yitu laughed, he felt that there was a providence in the dark, and Li Yuntian's fate with Zhao Xinyue and Hongluan seemed to be doomed.

"Uncle Hu, what do you think King Yue has a chance of winning this time?" After landing on the chessboard, Li Yuntian Yufeng turned around and mentioned King Yue, it seems that Yang Yungui's information is very accurate, King Yue really stayed in Gyeonggi, and his heart must be different.

Li Yuntian had already guessed about Empress Dowager Zhang's maintenance of King Yue, after all, mother and son were connected, how could Empress Dowager Zhang force King Yue to a dead end? It's just not clear how Empress Dowager Zhang will deal with what happens next.

In Li Yuntian's view, Empress Dowager Zhang is a sensible and righteous person, and she will never support King Yue for personal gain in the matter of the throne, and the crown prince is the grandson of Empress Dowager Zhang, so there is no need for Empress Dowager Zhang to abolish the crown prince's right to inherit the throne.

"Thirty percent on the throne, seventy percent for the regent!" Hu Yitu glanced at the chessboard and slowly dropped the chess pieces on it.

"From this point of view, King Yue is going to seek regent." Li Yuntian bowed his head slightly when he heard this, Hu Yitu's opinion was the same as his, it would be more difficult for King Yue to replace the crown prince, and nine times out of ten he would retreat and aim for the throne of the regent.

Although the Ming Dynasty has forbidden the imperial family to engage in politics since Taizu, and no one in the imperial family has held positions in the court, but the world has changed, and the current situation of the Ming Dynasty is different from the past, and the monarchy has reached the weakest time.

However, it is not easy to make the Empress Dowager Zhang make up her mind, unlike Emperor Yongle, Emperor Hongxi and Emperor Xuande, Empress Dowager Zhang is not the son of heaven of the Ming Dynasty after all, she is not only unreasonable but also inevitably suspected of harem interference.

Moreover, the consequences of this move are unpredictable, God knows whether it will cause a conflict of interests between the crown prince and the king of Yue in the future, and the Empress Dowager Zhang will definitely not take this step unless it is absolutely necessary.

In fact, if you study it carefully, Empress Dowager Zhang has a great say in the issue of succession to the throne.

Different from the ordinary government affairs of the Ming Dynasty, the succession of the new emperor is not only a state affair but also a family affair of the imperial family, and now the crown prince is young, so the Empress Dowager Zhang, as the spokesperson of the imperial family and the guardian of the prince, has a pivotal role in the succession to the throne.

Therefore, Li Yuntian and Hu Yitu thought that King Yue had a seventy percent probability of becoming the regent, and it was easier for the King of Yue to make Empress Dowager Zhang support him to become the regent than to compete for the throne.

If this is the case, then the biggest obstacle that King Yue encounters is Empress Sun, and it is obvious that Empress Sun does not want to see King Yue come to regent, which will make the prince be deprived of his power, and then fall into passivity.

To put it mildly, Emperor Yongle was able to take the throne of Emperor Jianwen by virtue of "Qingjun's side, Yasukuni is difficult", so King Yue, as the regent, is more likely to seize the throne of the crown prince, and I am afraid that King Yue has already controlled the situation in the court before the prince takes power.

After all, Yang Shiqi, Zhang Fu and others are already old, even if they want to support the crown prince to maintain the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty, but once they die or are old, they will not be able to confront King Yue in the prime of life.

This was exactly what Emperor Xuande was worried about, so he gave Empress Sun two completely different decrees to secure the crown prince's throne.

Even if Li Yuntian is a powerful minister such as Zhuge Liang of Xishu, but he is only a minister, Zhuge Liang, who cherishes his reputation, did not seize the throne of Xishu but did his best for Xishu, so Emperor Xuande would rather Li Yuntian become a powerful minister of the Ming Dynasty than see the crown prince seized the throne by King Yue.

Moreover, Li Yuntian may not necessarily control the government, and he may also become a minister of the humerus who assists the prince wholeheartedly.

"Sir, the pastries have been bought." Just when the game between Li Yuntian and Hu Yitu reached a stalemate, and the two were engrossed in the killing, Hu Yitu's wife walked in, leading a basket in her hand, which contained pastries bought from a famous pastry shop in Beijing.

After Mrs. Hu put down the basket, she went to prepare dinner, and after he left, Li Yuntian chose one of the several packets of pastries wrapped in oiled paper in the basket and opened it, and some shortbread was wrapped in oiled paper.

Under Hu Yitu's silent gaze, Li Yuntian broke a shortbread from the middle, and a small bamboo tube appeared in front of him.

"Uncle Hu, it seems that we already know the chess pieces that the other party has arranged by the emperor's side." Li Yuntian took out a small note from the small bamboo tube, looked at it and handed it to Hu Yitu with a smile, the content of the note was related to Fang Liang, it was Fang Liang who made the seriously ill Emperor Xuande suspicious of Li Yuntian.

"The Queen Mother also knew about this matter, and Fang Liang had become the other party's outcast, which was used to make King Yue win the trust of the Queen Mother." Hu Yitu also laughed after reading the note, "Poor Fang Liang is still dreaming of yellow sorghum, but he doesn't know that he has been betrayed by the other party." ”

The content of the note also shows that Empress Dowager Zhang has been "reminded" by King Yue to know that it was Fang Liang who framed Li Yuntian, but it is still unclear who set fire to the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion, and Empress Dowager Zhang has ordered Dongchang to investigate the matter thoroughly.

It stands to reason that King Yue would never know that someone was playing with Li Yuntian in front of Emperor Xuande, and he not only knew about this matter but also asked Empress Dowager Zhang to "interrogate" Jin Ying, there must be an unknown secret in it.

If you think of King Yue being beaten by a group of unidentified people from the halfway point, then the truth of the truth is about to come out, King Yue learned about Fang Liang from the person who saved him, which will not only make him win the trust of Empress Dowager Zhang, but also make Empress Dowager Zhang worry about the situation in the court.

"You're going to join forces with the Inner Court?" Then, Hu Yitu looked up at Li Yuntian, the content of this note was only known to Jin Ying, it was obviously the note sent by Jin Ying, and Jin Ying handed over such important information to Li Yuntian to make it clear that he wanted to form an alliance with Li Yuntian.

"It's not a joint effort, each takes what he needs, whether it is the crown prince or the king of Yue ascending the throne, the inner court will face the pressure of the court officials, so I just want to find a helper." Li Yuntian thought about it and said that the inner court would soon be suppressed by the court's Wenchen group and the Xungui group, and it was logical that Jin Ying wanted to find a foreign aid.

And in order to implement his new policy, Li Yuntian also needs to find a helper in the court, and at this time, he and Jin Ying have common interests, and they naturally stand on the same front.

In fact, Li Yuntian also has another purpose, that is, he hopes to use Guò Jin Ying to restrain those eunuchs in the inner court, so that the eunuchs dare not act arbitrarily, and then balance the forces of all parties in the Ming Dynasty and establish a new order in the Ming Dynasty.

"You say, who could be that person behind Fang Liang?" Hu Yitu put the chess pieces in his hand into the chess jar, he had already lost this game, and looked at Li Yuntian with interest, he could force Li Yuntian to be so wolf, and the other party must have a great future.

"Whoever he is, show the fox's tail!" Li Yuntian's eyes flashed coldly when he heard this, he would never let go of this hateful guy who hurt people with a secret arrow.
