445: Royal gossip
"And that statement?"
Pei Ye pretended not to know, and let Qin Shao continue to reveal the gossip.
The young man has seen too few routines, so he naturally continues to trumpet.
β...... Some rumors in the market are not very good, they say that His Majesty can become the prince because of good luck, and he was born at the right time. β
Pei Ye didn't understand now.
"Pick the right time?"
Qin Shao lowered his voice, for fear that what he said would be heard by a third person.
"The former emperor left many children in his life, and there was more than one prince, but the current majesty is the same age as the old daughter of Sejong. There are rumors in the market that His Majesty had the opportunity to enter the eyes of the emperor and Sejong by marrying the daughter of Sejong and was made the prince. β
In today's climate, what man likes to hear that his inheritance is obtained by women?
Especially when his own abilities are mediocre and his wife's talents are excellent.
After hearing about Sejong's Zen throne, there are still many old ministers who read her all kinds of goodness, and seeing that Sejong's old woman is so talented, and then look at the mediocre talent and soft temperament of the prince of Neiding, and he has not inherited the wisdom and decisiveness of his ancestors at all, some courtiers have other thoughts......
Qin Shao's grandfather also had the idea of electing the then "Rouyi Emperor" as the prince, and it seems that the former emperor also had this meaning.
It's a pity that the last emperor is now His Majesty.
Pei Ye nodded when he heard this, and roughly understood the entanglement of the previous generation of the Chaoxia royal family.
Although Empress Sejong and the former emperor are sisters and brothers, the difference between the two is seventeen years, almost a generation.
The former is also a sister and a mother to the latter.
Just because they have a good relationship doesn't mean that future generations have a good relationship.
When it comes to the struggle for royal power, not everyone can be as broad-minded as Sejong.
This Sejong ......
It is estimated that it is also the psychological shadow of one or two generations.
β...... I guess...... Your Majesty's sense of Sejong is not very good, right?"
Qin Shao's face turned white with fright.
"Sir, don't talk nonsense. β
Pei Ye said indifferently: "Anyway, no one else hears it, you know that I know the heavens and the earth." β
Qin Shao secretly looked around and found that no one noticed this place before continuing to whisper.
"Your Majesty respects Sejong very much to the outside world, but right...... There is a difference between genuine respect and superficial effort. β
As long as the etiquette can't find fault, who can hold him accountable for what he thinks in his heart?
"After that, Sejong's daughter, 'Emperor Rouyi', married His Majesty, and His Majesty was officially canonized as the prince. Perhaps in order to maintain the relationship between husband and wife, and to avoid suspicion, after the wedding of 'Emperor Rouyi', only important banquets and sacrifices will appear. The courtiers were disappointed, so they treated His Majesty with stricter standards, but unfortunately even the Rouhui Chang Emperor Ji, who had been raised by Sejong for a few years, was better than His Majesty. β
Today's His Majesty is also a miserable man.
The aunt and mother-in-law are the king, the father is barely a platinum, but the wife is recognized as a star, and the sister also climbed to the diamond under the training of the king, but he - from childhood to adolescence, from adolescence to youth, from youth to middle age - from stubborn bronze to silver.
So, after ascending the throne, His Majesty looked at his sister Rouhui Chang Emperor Ji was not pleasing to the eye.
The concubines are different, and they are not brothers and sisters of the same mother, so it is not too convenient for the little stumbling block.
said that he couldn't bear to marry his sister far away, and wanted to point her to a husband who was docile and considerate to her.
Actually?
Rouhui Chang Emperor Ji, who has been raised by Sejong for several years, doesn't say how capable she is, but she definitely won't like such an incompetent man.
In his own words to refute His Majesty -
With a docile personality and considerate care, her Elder Emperor Ji Mansion has many servants like this!
However, my arms can't twist my thighs.
She is a concubine, and the eldest emperor can't influence her brother's choice.
Rouhui Chang Emperor Ji also because her husband was jealous of others in the Qinglou, beating the other party into a cripple, and was sued by the official in front of the emperor, Rouhui Chang Emperor Ji fell into the name of "lax discipline" and "arsonist murderer", lost the real power of the court, and became an idle clan that could only eat and rely on fiefdom taxes to support a family. Since then, the eldest emperor Ji has been raising noodles in the mansion and ignoring her husband's love.
"How much have you raised?"
"I don't know, it's just speculation, if not a dozen, but seven or eight. β
Pei Ye was speechless: "Ling Chao grew up in such an environment, but he didn't completely change?"
She suddenly liked this living treasure a little.
Qin Shao used his afterglow to peek at Ling Chao with a vegetable-looking face in the distance.
Quite old-fashioned with emotion.
"Yes, although Ling Chao is a bit of a bastard on weekdays, ...... His life was not easy either. β
Xu Emperor also felt that the means of suppressing Rouhui Chang Di Ji were too inferior, and he was afraid that others would say that he was unkind and would not even let go of his sister, so he did not criticize Rou Hui Chang Di Ji for raising so many faces over the years, and chose to turn a blind eye.
After the birth of his nephew Ling Chao, His Majesty also favored him in every way, and there will be rich rewards during the New Year's holidays.
The brother and sister whose relationship had fallen to freezing point also eased.
However, His Majesty has a long history, and this behavior is more like a killing in the eyes of many outsiders.
As he spoke, the carriage and horses had been parked outside the inn.
Tianmen Academy is located surrounded by mountains and cliffs.
It was discovered by mistake when the first mountain chief of Tianmen Academy was traveling to study, and it was at that time when the mountains were ethereal, faintly forming a long gate to the sky, as if through that door you could reach the legendary blissful fairyland. The mountain chief sighed that there was such a strange scene in the world, so he joked with his friends that he would build a academy here in the future. So, many years later, with the help of his friends, he built the Tianmen Academy.
On the mountain trail, more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages moved slowly.
"Sir, further on is the only way to go to the academy - Tianmen Terrace, where you have to go up and down the mountain. β
Qin Shao rode on the horse and watched the familiar scenery spread out in front of him, and the smile on the corner of his lips became stronger.
Tianmen platform is a high platform that is octagonal as a whole, there is a strange stone that is naturally formed but resembles heaven and man, there is a long tablet standing next to the strange stone, the book is "Tianxingjian, the gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement; the terrain is kun, the gentleman is carrying things with virtue", and there is a private seal.
Qin Shao introduced: "This seal belongs to Emperor Wuzong, and the words on it are also his ink treasures. β
Tianmen Academy has a very good history.
The founder was one of the henchmen who assisted Wuzong, the founding emperor of Chaoxia, to establish the country, and he was also a big tyrant who funded Wuzong's army.
The title deed and construction cost of Tianmen Academy were all paid by Wu Zong.
There are also ink treasures and private seals of Wuzong everywhere here.
No matter who you are, you have to walk 100 meters in front of the Tianmen Platform.
After the Tianmen platform, the mountain road winds up, winds down, and crosses the mountains......
Finally, we came to the foot of a high mountain......
Pei Ye opened his dead fish eyes and said, "Then we will go to Tianmen Academy?"
Qin Shao smiled and said, "Noβthen we will go to the thousand-step stone staircase, climb it with two legs, and the top is Tianmen Academy." β
Pei Ye: "......"
She was extremely sure that the founder of the college had a grudge against the students......
