The prince is both a concubine and a long, and he gets along very well with his brothers and sisters below, whether it is ability or identity, he can convince the public, they are willing to bow to the prince as younger brothers, but if they change to someone else, they can't, who is worse than whom?

What's more, Emperor Xuanwu's eccentricity is on the surface, the prince's line is Emperor Xuanwu's palm, and the other sons and daughters are the root grass, and it is really hard to say which vein the emperor can fall to.

Xiao Shao sighed, the crown prince was brought up by Empress Chen and Emperor Xuanwu, and the rest of them were brought up by Empress Chen, even if the prince is not wrong as a brother, but they are separated by a layer, obviously they are all brothers of the same mother, why can the prince dominate Emperor Xuanwu by himself, it is no wonder that these brothers are uncomfortable.

"From this point of view, the matter of the prince of Wei Guo can make sense, Wei Guogong is the prince's teacher, and he is naturally convinced of the prince, now the prince is not in good health, if it doesn't take long, how can the latecomers suppress Wei Guogong, Your Majesty is giving the prince another chance to show mercy."

Xiao Shao's face was sarcastic, even though he had long been accustomed to Emperor Xuanwu's partiality, but Emperor Xuanwu's preference for the prince to such an extent still made him feel jealous, and he tried his best to occupy a place in Emperor Xuanwu's heart, but the prince didn't have to do anything to make Emperor Xuanwu willingly give him a stepping stone.

"It's really a father's kindness and filial piety!"

Emperor Xuanwu's move can be said to be that he put a hat on his head that he knew and did not know the bird, so that the prince could step on his throne to win people's hearts, not to mention the effect, this thought alone was enough to make him jealous.

"I've never heard of His Highness's health unwell, why is he suddenly so sick?" Cui Rang still thinks it's wrong, although the prince has always appeared in the court with the face of a literati, but how can the royal family tutor get a glimpse of one or two from several vassal kings who guard the frontier, which one is not Yunwen Yunwu can cut people off the horse and manage the government, and the children under him can't all have both civil and military skills, but the eldest son of the prince, who has high hopes, is not proficient in martial arts.

Therefore, Cui Rang has always had doubts about the prince's physical condition and force value, and now the prince is suddenly so seriously ill that Emperor Xuanwu needs to start taking care of his afterlife, no matter how you look at it, it is a little weird.

Xiao Shao, as the younger brother who grew up with the prince, knows the prince's body quite well, although he is not weak, but he is also a little worse than ordinary people, and the prince is forty years old, and it is not a strange thing that he suddenly becomes seriously ill for a while.

Immediately relieved: "Sir, don't worry, this matter is probably not fake." ”

Cui Rang pondered the domestic situation in Qi State, and suddenly thought of the Liu family who was sent to Jizhou to settle down some time ago, "Let Your Majesty act, the previous path of Huai Rou to the three southern states was clearly taken, how could he suddenly change his style to the three southern states, and also lost a general, at that time, I only felt that His Majesty didn't want to endure it anymore, and now let's see if there is also a reason for His Royal Highness?" ”

"But this doesn't make sense, even if the prince's illness was already known at that time, how could it have anything to do with the three southern states?" Xiao Shao touched his chin, and the slightly hard stubble stimulated his fingertips, making his thoughts run quickly, "Could it be that there is any use in the three southern states that we don't know?" ”

Cui Rang had a guess, but he felt that it didn't make sense, "Could it be that Your Majesty wants to set up a grandson?" ”

Taisun?

"Although it is a big deal to set up a grandson, it is not worthy of such a big scene."

It's not that Xiao Shao looks down on Xiao Yu, just from the degree of attention and speculation, his eldest nephew is really not as good as the embarrassing Xiao Wei, if Emperor Xuanwu really wants to make Xiao Yu the grandson, he will not plan for him with great fanfare, and even do not hesitate to provoke a war.

Cui Rang didn't care that Emperor Xuanwu saw that his favorite son was no longer good, so he simply cultivated the son of his favorite son, and then used the affairs of the three southern states to help him brush up his fame, so that the chips on this grandson were a little heavier, on the one hand, it was to pave the way for the successors, and on the other hand, it was also to let them, the vassal kings, completely die, and not have any thoughts that they shouldn't have.

Obviously, Xiao Shao's understanding was a little wrong, and Cui Rang reminded vaguely, "What if this grandson himself can't convince the public?" ”

"How can this be ......" Xiao Shao suddenly stopped halfway through laughter, it is true that the existence of the prince is more to consolidate the status of the prince, but this does not deny the essence of the grandson as the second heir to the throne, so the choice of the grandson is also cautious, once it is established, it is rarely changed, according to the practice of the primogeniture inheritance system of the royal family, if Emperor Xuanwu wants to establish the eldest son of the prince, that is, Xiao Yu as the grandson, there is no such thing as being unable to convince the public, because the identity of Xiao Yu's eldest grandson is a natural bargaining chip, Xiao Shao never considered that his father, who had always believed in the primogeniture system, would break this rule with his own hands.

But Cui Rang's words are not unreasonable, if Emperor Xuanwu gave up Xiao Yu to go to the other sons of the distant prince, he would naturally not be able to convince the public.

"But Da Lang is not at fault, how could Your Majesty give him up without warning?" Before Cui Rang could answer, Xiao Shao laughed first, "It's me who is confused, Your Majesty promoted a scholar from a poor family, how could he like a grandson with family blood." ”

That's why he, the son who was pushed out to marry the family, was favored by Emperor Xuanwu because he lost his inheritance.

This is also an unspoken rule, although it is not stated, but the children of the royal family should know it.

Xiao Shao's eyes narrowed slightly, he and Wang Yuan were in love, and they were willing to give up the inheritance back then, after all, when the crown prince got him to inherit the throne, it was better to marry a woman who was happy. But then Emperor Xuanwu and the prince's attitude made him a little cold, since he gave up the right to inherit, Emperor Xuanwu and the prince began to trust him, although he understood in his heart, but in the end it was a little cold.

It's just that in addition to the orthodox eldest son of Xiao Yu, the prince's heirs, there are only a few born to the current crown princess.

Thinking of this, Xiao Shao sneered, "From the outer room, he also deserves it!" ”

To tell the truth, even if Emperor Xuanwu really passed over their sons to pass the throne to Xiao Yu, Xiao Shao would only be angry at Emperor Xuanwu's eccentricity, and at most a little picky about Xiao Yu, if Xiao Yu really had the ability, he wouldn't mind giving this eldest nephew a little face for the sake of the Taiyuan Wang family, after all, Xiao Yu, as the eldest grandson, had an advantage in the patriarchal law.

can be replaced by others, the prince has no heirs, and now there are only two people who are old enough to be Xiao Yu and Xiao Wei, talking about other people, but it is Xiao Wei who can be referred to.

"He is not a concubine, he is not a long-term concubine, when he was born, his biological mother was just a nameless concubine in the East Palace, and a concubine actually wanted to press on our heads, and he was not afraid of losing his life!"
