Chapter Seventy-Four: Succession
He Qizi admired the prince very much, and then regretted: "It's also my bad luck in the Great Xiao Kingdom." The prince didn't know why, but he was instigated, drunk and rode on a horse, and fell to his death. ”
"Someone must have done something about it!" He Mian'er asserted. The reason is also very simple, the prince is a literati, and he has always been the most polite and does not drink easily. Not to mention doing things like riding a horse while drunk.
What's more, the prince is surrounded by heavy and careful guards, even if he drinks, he will not fall from his horse and die.
He Qi looked back at his daughter approvingly, Mian'er was really a lot more mature, and then said: "Yes, the cause of the prince's death is strange." The prime minister united with the queen mother of the harem, forcing the emperor to find out the murderer. ”
He Mian'er knew that the current queen was from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the Prime Minister could also be said to be the uncle of the country. When the crown prince died, several people must have an explanation.
"Murderer, haven't you been punished yet?" He Mian'er asked suddenly.
He Qi knew why his daughter asked such a question, and then said: "Since I have already been in a different place, I am afraid that there are no bones left at this moment." ”
"I'm afraid it's just a few ghosts who die." He Mian'er said with a clear face.
He Qi was surprised by the rapid growth of his daughter, only to feel very relieved, looked around, only to feel that there were no outsiders, and said in a low voice: "Everyone speculates that the murderer is afraid that the three princes are in the same vein." ”
He Mian'er knew that if something happened to the prince, the biggest beneficiary was the three princes, so it was no wonder that everyone wanted to guess him.
The mother of the third prince is today's Shuguifei, and the maternal family is the famous Taiwei Hu family, who is in charge of the military power in the world.
The entire Great Xiao State, and the military power in the northwest region are in the hands of the Xu General's Mansion, and the southwest, northeast, and southeast boundaries are all the spheres of influence of the Taiwei family.
However, in recent years, the ethnic minorities in the southwest have been weak, the northeast has been safe and war-free for many years, and the southeast is a sea area and is sparsely populated. There are not many troops in the hands of the captain.
"The third prince is arrogant and rude, but he has done a lot of disgusting things in private." He Mian'er mentioned the three princes with some disgust.
After all, this person is extremely lustful, and his methods are the most despicable and obscene. She and a group of official women often discussed this person's viciousness in private, including robbing people's daughters and molesting various ladies.
Then He Qi clapped his hands and said, "Yes, if this person becomes the emperor, it will be really lawless." ”
"Everyone knows this matter, but because there is no evidence, they can only give up. The most important thing is that the emperor acquiesced to the fact that everyone did not pursue it. He Qi said with an indignant face, he was the one who knelt in front of him and asked for justice for the prince and asked for an explanation.
He Mian'er knew that the crown prince died suddenly, the second prince was weak and sick since he was a child, and he had already died, the fourth prince was missing, and there was only one heir of the third prince in the harem, no matter how unhappy the emperor was, he could only protect this son.
It can't be that the only son who is still alive can be beheaded.
"Regarding the return of the four princes, the emperor has already sent someone to block the news. I also want to grieve you to hide at home for the past few months. He Qi touched his daughter's head lovingly, as if her daughter was still the well-behaved and coquettish little girl she was at the beginning.
"The fourth prince, can you not take the heir?" He Mian'er asked, she knew how silly she sounded when she asked.
But she still had a glimmer of hope and looked at her father. Her father had rarely talked to her about the power of the DPRK and China in the past, but now that she took the initiative to mention it, she also had some guesses in her heart.
"Mian'er, this matter is not his business alone, this matter is related to the people of the world. If they are ascended to the throne by the three princes, such people who have no virtue and no talent will definitely bring a catastrophe to the people in the world. ”
He Qi's words were not alarmist, the three princes were now relying on the power of their mother's family to fly high, wantonly violating the law, and doing misdeeds.
If such a person had great power in his hands, he would have become a tyrannical monarch like the Shang kings in history.
"Besides, even if the four princes take the initiative to quit, they will have no way to live. Otherwise, how do you think the emperor's younger brother, then King Chen, died? He Qi took the opportunity to add another fire, and finally He Mian'er was silent.
In He Mian'er's heart, if a cautious person like the third prince is on the throne, not only the fourth prince will definitely die, but even his own father will not be able to escape.
Whether it is the common people in the world, or from the safety of Master Chen's life, he must participate in this terrible battle for the throne.
Thinking of this, He Mian'er looked at her father firmly and said, "I want to help him!" ”
This short sentence is full of power.
He Qi knew that his daughter was the most stubborn, and swallowed the words he wanted to persuade back into his stomach at the moment. He saw his daughter's heart for the four princes, and he sighed heavily in his heart at the moment.
It seems that her daughter has a rough marriage in this life.
Out of consideration for the safety of Master Chen, He Mian'er did not go to visit Shuoye that night. Although she was worried in her heart, she also trusted Master Chen, believing that with him, she would definitely be able to appease Shuoye
Who would have thought that Master Chen, whom she trusted the most, was kept by the emperor in the palace and secretly protected.
It wasn't until the evening, when several people in the Four Princes' Mansion got together, that the old mother in the kitchen, the maidservant in the room and the old man who guarded the door found that the child confessed by the master seemed to be gone.
A few of them also had no idea, and they guessed in their hearts that Xiao'er must have recognized life and hid. Therefore, he did not dare to alarm the master and the government, so he only carried a lantern and carefully inspected the room in the courtyard in the dark.
And at this moment, Shuo Ye, who everyone is looking for, is in the General's Mansion, in Xu Yunqing's room.
Xu Yunqing was speechless at the moment. The child climbed into his bed without saying a word and peed silently.
He has never taken care of a child, Xu Shaodong has always been well-behaved, and said that he could imagine that this child would be like this.
"If you want to go to the toilet in the future, remember to call me." Xu Yunqing sighed helplessly at the innocent-looking child, regardless of whether he understood or not, and finished talking about the rules by himself.
Then he instructed his subordinates to clean up a room again, intending to live in it.
Although the child's legs were short, he was very clever, and immediately followed, lying at his feet, refusing to move away no matter what.
Xu Yunqing had no choice but to hug this little boy together, and secretly said in his heart, although this little boy couldn't speak, he was very alert and very slippery.
Xiao'er was probably tired from making trouble all day, and by the time Xu Yunqing carried him to the new room, he had already closed his eyes and fallen asleep.
Looking at the immature child in front of him, Xu Yunqing carefully rested the child on the pillow and patiently covered him with the quilt.
Only then did he take a closer look at this unknown child, who was really very similar to Shaodong.
For a moment, he was also a little skeptical. Isn't it really a child from God, and if that's the case, it's fine.
He straightened up slightly, knowing that if he had this child, his mother would probably not force him to marry again.
