663: The king is willful
The adult prince, not counting Meng Huaijin, who has just returned to the throne, originally there were only five, and there were only five who could compete for the position of prince.
Among these five, the original eldest prince failed to rebel and was executed, and the fourth prince was imprisoned, leaving only the second prince, the third prince and the fifth prince to compete.
The second prince is capable of mediocrity, the situation in Beijing has changed again and again in the past two years, and the two princes have not been able to seize the opportunity to come forward, and now it is a good ending to be an idle prince.
The most competitive for the throne are the third prince and the fifth prince.
At least that's what everyone used to think.
Now I know that I was wrong, it turned out that there was only the third prince who could compete for the crown prince.
The queen has a biological son, how can she support the five princes to take the heir?
Therefore, the emperor gave the three princes the title of king, and only drove King Lu to the fief, obviously thinking that King Lu was the greatest threat to the "eldest son of the emperor" who had just recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors.
The kings of Xiang and Shu, who were not much of a threat, were left in the capital.
As for whether these two princes will have other creations in the future, it depends on the new king's intentions.
The clan and courtiers felt that the emperor's approach risked confusing the imperial bloodline, and opposed the "return of the emperor's eldest son", but the internal supervisors who passed the decree did not think so.
Whoever the emperor wants to pass on the throne to, he is the new monarch.
What is it called confusing the royal bloodline, if the emperor is happy, he can still pass the throne to his brother instead of his son, of course, there is generally no emperor who does this...... The inner eunuchs are all crippled people who have no descendants, what people lack but what they care about most, the inner eunuchs compare their hearts to their hearts, and they don't doubt Meng Huaijin's life experience, the emperor is much smarter than these eunuchs, if they don't investigate clearly, how can they let the emperor's eldest son return to the throne!
However, on the one hand, the emperor drove King Lu out of Beijing, and on the other hand, he promoted the position of Our Lady of King Lu.
The inner eunuch congratulated the virtuous concubine and concubine Jin, and revealed to Xiao Yunfei the affairs of the King of Xiang and the King of Shu, and Xiao Yunfei had a strange comfort in his anger.
- Let him go to the fief because he is the most capable, for the heir who threatens his father's will!
Soon, this comfort turned into even greater anger.
Since his father and emperor have recognized his ability, why didn't he choose him as the crown prince?
Meng Huai recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, the clan questioned them, and the courtiers did not approve of them, which laid a lot of hidden danger for the Jiangshan Sheji of the Great Wei Dynasty!
After the inner supervisor left, Xiao Yunfei stood in place and did not speak for a long time.
"You're just going to accept your fate?"
The eldest princess slapped the virtuous concubine, and the emperor immediately promoted the virtuous concubine to a virtuous concubine, and the promotion was like child's play, and the eldest princess laughed angrily.
This is the royal brother warning himself!
The eldest princess didn't care about being sad, seeing that Xiao Yunfei was depressed, she couldn't wait to give Xiao Yunfei a slap to wake this person up.
Of course, Xiao Yunfei refused to accept his fate like this.
“…… My father gave me ten days to prepare, I have to prepare well, please help me! ”
The eldest princess nodded, "Okay, this is the good son-in-law of this palace!" ”
Ten days, not long, not short, planning well, may not be able to hit the target.
Don't think about rebellion, the emperor controls the Jingshi army, and rebellion is self-defeating.
But Meng Huaijin was not in the palace.
This "eldest son of the emperor" still lives in the old mansion, and it is definitely easier to assassinate Meng Huaijin than to rebel.
The emperor must have sent someone to protect Meng Huaijin, and if he wants to assassinate him successfully, whether it is the eldest princess or Xiao Yunfei, he should no longer hide at this time, everyone will be finished if he misses a blow, and if he doesn't dig out his family at this time, is he going to Shandong to rise again?
Although the eldest princess has always known that her son-in-law Xiao Yunfei is not simple, but when she really knows how many available manpower Xiao Yunfei has, the eldest princess is still secretly surprised.
The eldest princess covered her fright, thought about it, handed over a token to Xiao Yunfei, and said that all the manpower of the eldest princess's mansion would be handed over to Xiao Yunfei, and Xiao Yunfei would transfer it uniformly.
Xiao Yunfei was very grateful when she took the token, revealed her true feelings, and promised the eldest princess that she would live up to Roujia.
After Xiao Yunfei hurriedly left with the token and went to deploy, the eldest princess slowly sank her face.
No matter how close her mother-in-law is, she can't kiss her biological mother, today she slapped the virtuous concubine, no, now she is the virtuous concubine, she slapped the virtuous concubine, Xiao Yunfei will definitely hold a grudge.
Even if Xiao Yunfei can really ascend the throne as the emperor, he can't tolerate his strong mother-in-law and aunt.
Instead of waiting to be liquidated by Xiao Yunfei, it is better to strike first.
Looking at Rou Jia, who was also soulless beside her, the eldest princess frowned: "You have been married to Xiao Yunfei for so long, and you haven't been pregnant yet?" ”
"Mother, the situation is unclear now, and my daughter is not in a hurry."
The emperor's uncle was about to drive them to the Shandong fiefdom, and Rou Jia really didn't have the idea of giving birth to a child for Xiao Yunfei at this time.
The eldest princess had other ideas, and she didn't plan to talk to Rou Jia, so she asked the gynecology saint in the capital to diagnose Rou Jia's pulse.
The doctor said that Roujia was in good health, and she was not pregnant after getting married.
Rou Jia is conceited and still young, not too worried about the heirs, the eldest princess thought to herself, although Xiao Yunfei only has Rou Jia as a concubine, there are many people in the room before marriage, even after marriage, it is inevitable to spoil a few maids, and there has been no good news...... However, before Rou Jia gave birth to her son-in-law, Xiao Yunfei didn't dare to stop those women's child-avoiding soup, and it was not surprising that there was no good news, Xu was thinking too much.
Roujia is right, fight for the throne first, and then talk about the heir!
When the great cause is completed and Rou Jia gives birth to a child, Xiao Yunfei is really useless.
……
The disturbances in the capital did not affect the tranquility of Meng Huaijin's life.
Since the emperor ordered someone to post that imperial notice, Meng Huaijin has not been able to go to Dali Temple.
The content of this notice is too absurd, several old princes of the clan are still arguing with the emperor, and basically no one dares to come to Meng Huaijin to greet him.
What kind of temperament Meng Huaijin is, the magnates in the capital have seen it in the past few years.
Seriously, even if Meng Huaijin was really the eldest son of the emperor, the clan and courtiers were unwilling to make him the new monarch.
Working under a very serious emperor will be very tiring, because you can't make a mistake.
The courtiers said that they were looking forward to the British lord Mingjun, but in fact, deep down they longed for the one sitting on the dragon chair to be sober in major matters, and they might as well be confused about small things.
Until today, the emperor first issued an order urging King Lu to set off to the fiefdom, and then named the second prince as the king of Hunan and the fifth prince as the king of Shu.
Which son the emperor wants to be the crown prince does require the consent of the courtiers.
But to crown the princes, there is no need for the consent of the courtiers or for the opinion of the clan.
The emperor's approach is very threatening, and there are many clans and courtiers who question Meng Huaijin's life experience, and the emperor will drive all the princes out of the capital, and then there will only be one Meng Huaijin left, in addition to establishing Meng Huaijin as the prince, is there any other choice?
When the emperor begins to be willful and begins to play scoundrels, sooner or later the clan and courtiers will compromise!
After today, there are probably people who can't hold back and want to brush their faces in front of Meng Huaijin.
Before everyone else, the person who came to the Meng family was Yu Xian.
"I know you have secrets."
"Cheng Qing also has secrets."
"I went to the northwest to save Cheng Qing's life, and you also helped me save someone's life!"
