Chapter 1289: The eldest son
"I have suffered in South Vietnam all these years, and I will stay longer when I come back this time." This is what the old emperor said to Prince Kang in public on the night of the palace banquet, and it is precisely because of this sentence that the courtiers are active again, and they are speculating in their hearts why the old emperor did this, and what is the real purpose?
Could it be that he has already been disappointed in the other princes? Instead, you want to appoint Prince Kang, the eldest son, as the crown prince according to the ancestral system? Speaking of which, Prince Kang is indeed the most justifiable one.
Although Prince Kang himself is mediocre, everyone has seen the wisdom and handsomeness of Prince Kang's son, and he can learn so well in a place like South Vietnam, wouldn't it be even more extraordinary after coming to the capital to have a famous teacher to teach?
Although there was no incident of directly establishing the emperor's grandson in this dynasty, there was indeed a precedent in the previous dynasty that the emperor passed the throne to the grandson's father because the emperor took a fancy to his grandson, so it is indeed not impossible to think about it.
And if you don't value Prince Kang's son, how can you pack up the side hall of the Heart Cultivation Hall for the little prince to live in? Don't you want to teach yourself?
What can His Majesty teach? It's not how to approve the folds, how to govern the world?
This matter can't be thought about carefully, because the more they think about it, the more they feel that this possibility is higher, and then one by one they began to panic, none of them supported Prince Kang before, is it too late to change direction now?
And Prince Kang's attitude during this period was also very subtle, he neither accepted nor refused, which made people even more incomprehensible.
Xiao Rui felt like a thorn in his heart, he thought that his cousin would not have any chance to ascend to the throne, but now it seems that he is the one with the best chance to ascend, and it may even be because his grandfather passed the throne to Prince Kang's uncle, who had no hope.
Especially when he asked people to invite Ye Si'an again yesterday and was refused, and then today he knew that Ye Si'an, his cousin, went to Prince Kang's Mansion today, which made him even more suspicious, was it Prince Kang who his uncle supported from the beginning? Otherwise, why did he never take care of himself and his father?
But why did my uncle choose this? You must know that Prince Kang was useless at the beginning, and he was recognized as the most hopeless one, but his father was in favor at that time.
She also felt unwilling to be Ye Sihui, she was even more depressed in her heart, she thought that she could escape the catastrophe of her previous life in her rebirth life, and she did exchange relatives with Ye Jing and successfully escaped, but the development of other things was beyond her expectations.
Prince Kang, who should have been imprisoned, and Ye Jing, who was imprisoned together, not only did not be imprisoned, but lived vigorously, and His Majesty, who should have been so angry that he vomited blood and died early, has been in good health for nearly twenty years.
And Prince An and Concubine Rou, who made her full of confidence, gradually lost their grace, and the throne became more and more distant from them.
Her rebirth is not just as simple as avoiding the fate of her previous life, she also has to become a human being, otherwise what is the purpose of being reborn again?
Thinking of her difficulties in King An's Mansion over the years, thinking of her father's dislike of her mother, and thinking of the scenery of Aunt Lan and Ye Jing, she especially felt the injustice of fate and the impermanence of the world.
Obviously, her mother is the main house, she is the concubine, and obviously no one stood out for herself when she married into Prince Kang's mansion in her previous life, but in this life, her brother Ye Qiu resolutely dragged his sick body to join the army for Ye Jing's sake.
But at the same time, she also understands that there is a sin that her mother has done, if her mother hadn't assassinated her brother Ye Qiu's body because of jealousy, wouldn't her brother also help her?
But there was no if, if she had known that things would turn out like this, she should have asked her mother to be kind to her brother and Aunt Lan when she was reborn.
She couldn't help but start asking the heavens, is there a second chance to be born again in the world? She felt that the days in front of her were so difficult, she waited for twenty years, and she didn't know if she could wait.
And in the past two years, her body has been deteriorating, not only herself, but also her mother, can she wait until she gets ahead and then raise her eyebrows?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but complain a little about her own brother, Ye Qiu could get up with such a body, why did her brother like to be content with the status quo and not want to forge ahead? As long as her own sibling could fight a little, she would not be as helpless as she is now.
Prince Kang stayed in the capital for three months, and the old emperor did not urge him to return to South Vietnam, and he did not take the initiative to mention it, so almost everyone knew his thoughts.
His Majesty looked old, his health has become worse and worse in the past two years, the previous three-day dynasty has been changed to a ten-day dynasty, and every time he listens to the court, he is often low in energy, and the ministers are also worried about this, for fear that he will go when he will go, so the matter of establishing the prince is imminent.
At this sensitive moment, why does Prince Kang want to fight if he doesn't leave? After all, he is the eldest son, and if His Majesty does not order the crown prince, he will be the first heir.
Not to mention that Prince Kang's son is still serving by His Majesty's side every day, which is enough to show His Majesty's favor for the prince, Prince Kang, who was the most hopeless and even took the initiative to give up in the past, has become the most promising one.
"Look at the ministers in the court, I just show a little favor to the eldest son, one by one they can't sit still, they are quite good at guessing my thoughts." The old emperor was laughing as he spoke, but in fact, there was coldness in his eyes.
No emperor wants to grow old, no emperor wants to see his courtiers embrace his son, because if he does, it proves that everyone thinks he will not live long.
His life is still very long, he is just a test, he didn't expect to be tested by himself so many things.
"Boss, he has backed down for twenty years, and he still hasn't given up!" He sighed faintly, "Is that what fascinates them about my location, huh?" ”
Father-in-law An didn't dare to answer when he heard this, he only lowered his head and motionless, as if he was asleep.
"I don't dare to answer what I asked you?" The old emperor mentioned it and kicked Gonggong An's ass.
Father-in-law An was in a trance, fell aside with a "poof", and then hurriedly asked for sin: "Your Majesty forgive me, the old slave accidentally dozed off just now, and at this age, he is not in good spirits." ”
"Old thing!" The old emperor snorted lightly, but he didn't bother with him, mainly now, he is also a person who can speak, and he has served for so long, and he is more tolerant of him.
"Go back and find a imperial doctor to take a look, your body is getting worse and worse, don't let any little eunuch find out that you can't sleep, hahahaha......" The old emperor laughed more and more heartily, because he was the longest-living emperor in this dynasty.
Father-in-law An also replied: "How can the old slave compare to Your Majesty!" ”
