Chapter 474: Side Concerns

"Didn't say yes?" Mu Yunyi was surprised, "Then you Prince Shu ......"

"At that time, I said to Yun Duo that I would never recognize Dongling Xun as my father, let alone do anything as the prince of Dongzhao, but his concerns were right, with your stubborn nature, I am afraid that I will become a loner again after waking up, so I looked for a way to start first."

"The next way?"

"Tanglin Xun has a half-brother, Tanglin Shuo, Prince Jin."

"Prince Jin? I know that I have been guarding the border for many years, and I have not returned to the dynasty for more than ten years, and even the New Year's Festival is only on the congratulatory table, so I have never seen the true face of Prince Jin in Dongzhao, and he died of an old illness half a year ago. Mu Yunyi didn't understand why Mu Xiu wanted to mention this late prince at this time.

Mu Xiu continued her words: "Prince Jin died of an old illness half a year ago, and after his princess escorted the body back to Shangling City, he was also martyred with Prince Jin. Mu Yunyi was really embarrassed when she heard this, and she was grateful for the princess's true feelings.

"In fact, I have always been very curious about Prince Jin, I heard that Emperor Dongling Xun was very sad when he learned the news of Prince Jin's death, and even fell seriously ill, since the two brothers are so close, why did Prince Jin refuse to return to Shangling City for more than ten years? Dongzhao has never said that the prince is not allowed to enter and leave the imperial city? ”

"This has to start with Emperor Gaozong, the father of Donglin Xun. Prince Jin's mother is Jiang Xianfei of Gaozong Dongling Yu, Jiang's family was born in Jiangmen, and his father has military power in his hands, so she has been cautious when she enters the palace, and she is even more cautious in her words and deeds after giving birth to the prince, but after all, she is the prince, as the second prince grows older, although she has no intention of competing for the prince, but there is a restless attempt in the court to find the Jiang family, conspiring with the 'big plan', so the rumors come and go, Jiang Xianfei is worried that her mother's family will be feared by the emperor and suffer from the catastrophe, all day long, the grass and trees are soldiers, Finally, when the second prince was twelve years old, he fell ill for a long time and died in the palace. ”

"The royal people seem to be infinitely honored, but who can understand the bitterness and helplessness behind this?" Mu Yunyi can empathize with this the most, after all, she grew up in the palace since she was a child, whether it is her mother who has never met, or the aunt, father, grandfather, and grandmother around her, they are all the most noble people in the West Dome, but they all have their own bodies.

"The second prince proposed to guard the mausoleum for his mother for three years, and after the expiration of the three years, he went directly to the book, wanting to go to the north to practice, guarding the border for his father and brother, so that only every year will return to Shangling City, so the rumors in the court are also a lot less, and then Emperor Gaozong died, the prince Dongling Xun succeeded to the throne, and the second prince returned to the palace first bowed to his father's tablet, and then wanted to Donglin Xun to make a big salute, and said 'imperial brother'."

Mu Yunyi's eyes were full of admiration: "This 'imperial brother' is enough to show the heart and posture of the second prince, this person is really able to bear it." ”

"Tanglin Xun has actually always known his second brother's thoughts, so he made it clear that he wanted to give his younger brother the king and stay in Shangling, now Donglin Xun has ascended the throne, and the second prince's grandfather Jiang has also declined, so the courtiers did not object, but the second prince himself insisted on leaving Shangling City, go back to the border, how Donglin Xun knows how to reason, move with affection, the two princes refused to stay, and finally Donglin Xun had no choice but to crown him as the prince and let him out of the city."

"So there was the later Prince Jin?"

Mu Xiu continued: "At the beginning, the title chosen by Tanglin Xun was Ye, which meant Guanghua and beauty, but the second prince refused to ask for it, and directly took a pen and paper and wrote the word 'respect' and presented it to Tanglin Xun. ”

"'Respectful', be obedient and cautious, this Prince Zhen really never forgets to show his duty as a courtier, I am afraid this is also the entrustment of Concubine Jiang Xian to her son before her death."

"On the second day after the canonization, Prince Jin left Shangling with the princess and the servants of the palace and returned to the northwest border."

"No wonder Prince Jin has been criticized and ridiculed by many people, he is cowardly and timid by nature, but he does not know that only a person with great wisdom and foresight can make such a determination, and it takes courage to completely give up the desire for fame, which is the best protection for himself and his family." Mu Yunyi finally knew the reason why Prince Jin had not returned to the dynasty for many years, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, but she said strangely: "But what does this have to do with your kingship?" ”

"Yun Duo means that as long as you and Dongzhao continue to marry, and that person's status is higher than Su Yan, you can block the mouths of the officials and people of the two countries, and it may not be the prince."

"Could it be ......" Mu Yunyi heard Mu Xiu say this, and then she realized that among Prince Jin's many pasts, there was one thing she ignored: Prince Jin has no children and no daughters under his knees!

"Prince Jin and his wife are deeply in love, but they have not had a son and a half daughter for many years, but Prince Jin is unwilling to take a concubine to marry the side room, so until Prince Jin dies of illness, Prince Jin's mansion has nothing to do, so after Prince Jin has a book, the Ministry of Rites and the people in the clan have someone to write, Prince Jin has no successor, Tanglin Xun's original meaning is to choose an excellent person in the clan to inherit the throne of Prince Jin."

Mu Xiu saw that Mu Yunyi had a rough guess, so he didn't sell more guanzi: "So I negotiated with Tanglin Xun on the condition: if I want to return to the Tanglin royal family, it's okay, but he needs to pass me on to Prince Jin." ”

"I see...... What about this title? "It stands to reason that the succession to the prince's throne should follow the title of his father, why does Mu Xiu have another title? And this title is really intriguing.

"This title is the handwriting of Donglin Xun, I have been guarding you for a few days, and there are many things to take care of, I don't care about any title at all, so I only learned that he changed his title at the Xuanhui Hall today." Mu Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said: "That's it, it's just a title, it doesn't mean anything to me, I think that a word 'forgiveness' fell on my head, and I will forgive him after a long time?" ”

After that, Mu Xiu's eyebrows suddenly hesitated, but he said for a long time: "Xiaoyi, there is another thing I want to confess to you, choosing to become the adopted son of Prince Jin, not only because of the resistance to Tanglin Xun, but also because I have side concerns......

"Because the prince, your brother, right?" Mu Yunyi's expression was clear, and he said slowly, as if there was nothing unusual.

However, Mu Xiu was quite surprised to see her say what she thought so calmly and accurately: "It turns out that you all know." ”

Of course, Mu Yunyi knew that Mu Xiu resented Donglin Xun, but he never got angry with his younger brother Dongling Yi, so when Donglin Yi was seriously injured and his life hung by a thread, Mu Xiu gave the last witch blood to his younger brother without thinking about it, and now Mu Xiu has decided to return to the royal family, although there will never be a mustard between the two brothers, but the court and the opposition will not believe that the two brothers, friends and brothers, the Shugui Concubine of the cold palace was wronged, and the Yeyang clan that was at the height of the time was convicted and exiled, so now once the prince returns, someone will make a big fuss, and even instigated the eldest prince to compete for the throne, no matter what the outcome is, they will inevitably be affected by each other, which is not lacking in vivid examples in all dynasties.
