Taiji Palace, Kunling Palace

"Mother, you ......"

Yan Wang Zhao Kuo raised his eyes and looked at the back that had been silent since he entered the main hall, and he really couldn't bear to take the initiative to speak.

After bidding farewell to the royal brothers, he hurried back to his mother's harem, in fact, he wanted to discuss this matter with his mother to see how to deal with the great changes in the court in the future.

But who knew that the queen mother had been turning her back since she entered the palace, without saying a word or moving......

After a stalemate like this for a long time, Zhao Kuo finally couldn't hold it back, and still took the initiative to break the deadlock, hoping to listen to the views and opinions of the queen mother.

"Alas......"

Who knew that this had just started, and the queen He Yan, who had been silent, suddenly sighed, then turned around, looked at her emperor and sighed faintly.

"Kuo'er, you say...... What is your father's intention? ”

Since hearing this earth-shattering change in the state banquet tonight, Queen He Yan's heart has always been surrounded by such doubts.

She really couldn't understand that the Holy Emperor was so wise and wise, and he would really watch the extremely cruel battle for the heir in front of her own emperor?

Could it be that the Holy Emperor really doesn't know that today's great cadres seem to be prosperous and prosperous, but in fact they are just strong on the outside and cadres in the middle, and they are just on the surface!

In the west, Xirong has been harassed for many years, in the north there is the North Dikou border captivity, in the south there is the big business exploitation, and in the east there is Dali eyeing the tiger!

Moreover, the remnants of Qi Chu have not yet been exterminated, and they continue to secretly accumulate energy among the people, and as soon as the big cadres are weak, they will rise up, and the strong enemy will be internal and external, and the secret alliance will make the big cadres increase both internally and externally, and they will be in danger at night!

It can be said that the great cadres who have only been in the country for five years have not laid a solid foundation at all, and they are just barely shrinking to the west, avoiding the direct confrontation of the Central Plains powers.

But in fact, it is internal and external troubles, and the day is not safe!

In such a situation, how could the Holy Emperor dare to indulge the two most powerful princes and face the struggle so clearly?!

Isn't he afraid that a mistake will shock the government and the opposition, and the people's hearts will fluctuate, and then be peeped into by the strong enemy, and then instigate Qi Yan's remnants to respond internally, which will make the great cadres in danger of destroying the country in an instant? ?

So He Yan thought about it again and again, turning it over and over, and couldn't figure it out!

How could the Tai Chi Holy Emperor, who had always been wise and wise, suddenly make such an unwise choice?

"This ......"

Zhao Kuo couldn't help but stop when he heard this, because in his heart, he really couldn't understand the reason why his father did this.

And when the famous Fourth Emperor Brother really challenged the position of the crown prince he originally deserved under the instruction of his father, he was really in a state of confusion and lost his bearings!

I don't even want to think too much about it for a while, I'd rather bury my head deep in the arms of a small soft fragrant jade like an ostrich than face these problems!

"You, you! Could it be that things have changed so dramatically...... Can't you still feel half a point of crisis?! ”

Knowing the son Mo Ruomu, as soon as she saw her emperor's bow and silent expression, He Yan sighed again and again with some hatred that iron is not steel, and pointed to the emperor's head to see when he would be able to wake up with his elm lump!

"Mother, I'm not ......"

Zhao Kuo hurriedly raised his head, about to argue.

"You're not what you're not! You are the eldest son of the rightful line! This Holy Throne Supreme is what you deserve!! ”

He Yan interrupted angrily, and her emotions became a little excited inexplicably.

"But why do you always act like an outsider? He doesn't care about the major affairs of the DPRK and China, and he is silent about the lifeline of state affairs! In this way, everyone only knows Zhao Tuo, the king of Qi, who knows Zhao Kuo, the king of Yan?! ”

Zhao Kuo opened his mouth at a loss, but he was powerless to refute.

"The King of Qi has made great contributions to the country and the people on the bloody battlefield in the frontier! Then as the eldest son of the eldest son, why can't you assist your father and emperor in presiding over the government and show everyone your ability to govern the world?! ”

He Yan paced in the hall again and again, and her emotions became more and more excited!

"But you're good! Indulge in smoke and willows all day long! was provoked by a dusty woman! You are the future Supreme Holy Emperor! Could it be that your mother, the queen of the world, wants to choose a frivolous daughter from a Qinglou?! That's a ridiculous joke!! ”

When Zhao Kuo heard the words 'wind and dust woman', 'born in a green building', and 'frivolous daughter', he immediately raised his head uncontrollably, as if he wanted to argue!

But at a glance, he saw the mother's gaffe that he had never had, and finally just lowered his head silently......

"Kuo'er, my mother has indulged you for so long...... But in today's situation, we no longer dare to make the slightest mistake! ”

Speaking of this, He Yan suddenly closed her eyes and slowly shook her head.

"Don't think that the battle for the throne is yours alone! What you bear is not only the honor and disgrace of you, my mother and son! It is even more involved in the lives of thousands of people in the entire He family! ”

Hearing this, Zhao Kuo's heart was shocked!

But for the first time, I clearly understood what the burden on my shoulders was?!

"For the supreme throne of my son! For my Ho's incense to continue! I can't be so indulgent with you again! ”

He Yan is categorical, as if the coffin is conclusive!

"Twenty-one years...... It's long overdue for you to talk about getting married! ”

He Yan suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes were full of energy, as if she had made up some kind of determination in a moment!

"Tomorrow! I'll get to work tomorrow! Propose to the household department Shangshu Jingtian to talk about the matchmaker, marry the Jing family, and win the alliance for my son! ”

"The Queen Mother! Never!! ”

Zhao Kuo was shocked when he heard this, and shouted in a hurry!

"Shut up! My heart is decided! For the sake of the entire He family, even if it is at the expense of my He Yan's life, what's the matter? How can you talk about a ridiculous Qinglou woman? ”

He Yan's eyes were cold, and her tone was full of indomitable determination and perseverance!

It's about the Holy Throne, it's not trivial, and what can't be given up?!

"Mother, I ......"

Zhao Kuo was gloomy and desperate, only to feel as if the sky had collapsed!

"Hello for yourself! From now on, you must remember one thing! You are not only the prince of Daqian, Zhao Kuo! It's even more of a big dry Yan King Zhao Kuo!! ”

After that, he brushed his clothes away, leaving only Zhao Kuo, whose eyes were blank, limp to the ground, as if he still didn't dare to imagine that this cold reality was so ruthless and indifferent to him!!

"Tiny ...... Little ......"

Zhao Kuo muttered silently, but tears couldn't stop coming out of his eyes!

Immersed in his lips, he only felt that these tears were bitter and sour that he had never felt before......

……

"He Yan, the Holy Emperor Empress of Taiji, and the biological mother of Zhao Kuo, the king of Yan.

Her person is dignified and beautiful, quiet and elegant, and has the style of the mother of the country.

As a queen, Yan cares about the fortunes of the country, and has never tasted the honor and disgrace of one clan and one clan above the rise and fall of one country and one dynasty!

In the fifth year of Shenwu, Zhao Tuo, the king of Qi, broke Beidi, made great achievements, and the Holy Emperor Longyan Dayue, was promoted to the general of chaos, and added the title of prince!

Yan sighed endlessly, knowing that the general trend had gone.

Then he urgently summoned Zhao Kuo, the king of Yan, into the palace, and sighed worriedly: "The heart of the Holy Emperor is known to the government and the opposition!" If you want to help the king of Qi ascend to the throne, follow the example of the ancient sages, and give the gift of Zen! ’

'Thou art a son-in-law, although thy heart is unwilling, but the great cadres are now worried about internal and external troubles, and the crowd is surrounded by strong people, and there is a danger of overturning in an instant! ’

'The position of the Holy Emperor should be resided by the virtuous, so that I can protect my great work and worry-free national fortune! ’

'However, the son of the king of Qi is ambitious, and he likes to kill, but he only knows how to fight for his life, and he does not know how to govern the country and the people! Not the Emperor's choice! ’

'Among the nine sons of my view, only the nine emperors, Zhao Zheng, is beautiful and bright, foolish and wise, and has a pure heart, which can be of great use, and is really an excellent choice! ’

'If the king of Qi is powerful, then we will fight to the death, and we must not let him sit too big to bring disaster to the country and the people!' ’

'If Zhao's political power rises, then we will do our best to help and enable the capable to occupy the holy position, so as to maintain the stability of the world's society! ’

I sighed and admired! ”
