Mu Biwei got up, and saw that Ji Shen beside her was no longer there, she was about to call Ah Shan, but she heard faint words from outside, as if Ji Shen was inside, and her heart didn't move, so she casually put on her outer robe, walked to the door with her bare feet and stepped on a thick felt that was long and ankle-length, and tiptoed to eavesdrop.

Ji Shen from the outside of Dongnuan Pavilion didn't feel that he was talking to Nie Yuansheng about any secrets, so he didn't deliberately let go of his voice, he was in the prime of life and a young man to practice martial arts, and he was full of energy, although the door between the inside and outside was very thick, Mu Biwei could hear it some.

As if Nie Yuansheng was talking about the court, Ji Shen was continuing: "...... Qu Shuqing is from a famous family, he is very arrogant, and he is pedantic and sticks to the family, he is my companion, and his temperament is very clear, and he may not be able to do it as I want. ”

I heard Nie Yuansheng say with a smile: "Although the civil officials of our dynasty are not all powerless, but the person who hosts the royal hunt has always been a military general, and he is a member of the Qu family in previous years, even though Qu Shuqing is not willing to go on a spring hunt this time, but he is not a person who does not abide by the way of the courtiers." ”

It turned out that they were discussing the selection of the host of the spring hunt, the royal hunt has been around since ancient times, and it was originally not only to take the opportunity to go out, but more for the purpose of martial arts, so it has always been the military general who is responsible for planning.

In the family of this dynasty, the Qu family produced many generals in the former Wei Dynasty, and several of them also fought with Emperor Gaozu to conquer the world, so when the country was founded, the Qu family won the lord of the Marquis of Weilie, and when the father of the Qu family of Zuo Zhaoyi was now, he attacked Wei Libo and still held the Yecheng army, and the army used by the spring hunt, the part of the insufficient Feihewei, was supplemented by the Yecheng army, so since the Dingding of this dynasty, most of the things that presided over the hunt were done by the Qu family.

Qu Shuqing, the youngest son of the current patriarch of the Qu family, is several years older than Ji Shen, but he also did Ji Shen's companion reading - his situation is actually similar to Mu Qi's companion reading when he was the first emperor, all under the guise of accompanying reading, in order to show the royal family's favor to the Qu family, Qu Shuqing is several years older than Ji Shen, he was born in a family, and several elders are still alive, many of them have served as presiding over hunting in the first emperor and this dynasty, so although he is young, this errand is not impossible to take - in the end, the background is taken advantage, Not to mention that he is the son of a grandson, with the same surname as Qu, the old man of the Qu family can't watch him mess things up and lose the face of the Qu family.

So Nie Yuansheng's recommendation is not too much, but listening to Ji Shen's meaning, he seems to be not very satisfied with Qu Shuqing, Mu Bi pursed his lips slightly, thinking that Nie Yuansheng is really shameless, I don't know what to use to instigate Ji Shen to go to Hualuo Hall to attack Zuo Zhaoyi, this time a light hunting planning job recommended Qu Shuqing - this is an opportunity to make meritorious contributions and accumulate qualifications, even if the Qu family does not have a chance, they can't help but admit that this is Nie Yuansheng's good service.

It's just that Nie Yuansheng wants to do this effort?

"It's hard to say whether he will keep his way or not." Nie Yuansheng provoked Ji Shen's emotion at the end of his life, "Qu Shuqing has always respected Jiang Thief and Ji Thief, do you remember that when my father reviewed my homework, I saw that you were all reading together, and I casually assessed a few words, and asked him about his ambition, he said that he was willing to learn from Jiang and Ji, and at that time, my father also praised him for his ambition. ”

Since the first emperor praised Qu Shuqing for his ambition, it seems that Jiang Yao and Ji Jianran were afraid that they had already paid homage to the prime minister when this incident happened, but the first emperor's question and Qu Shuqing's answer may not be simple, it is clear that the first emperor asked Qu Shuqing how he would like to assist Ji Shen in the future, and Qu Shuqing is worthy of being a few years older than Ji Shen, and he is from a family, and he is thoughtful, he replied that the object of emulation is Jiang Yao and Ji Jianran, both of whom are Wenchen, obviously implying that the first emperor Qu is willing to gradually let go of military power, so he was praised by the first emperor.

I am afraid that the Empress Dowager Gao insisted on establishing the Qu clan as the queen after Ji Shen's filial piety, and there was also the advice of the first emperor in it.

Otherwise, the Qu family is already the first family in Yedu, and even the Gao family who came out of the queen mother can't compare, holding the Yecheng army, although the Feihewei of the Yedu Gongwei royal family has always been under the direct management of the royal family, and the tiger talisman is only collected by Ji Shen himself, but the Feihewei Guijing is not much more expensive, if there is no Ji Shen who is fascinated by a woman born as a palace maid, he actually whimsically wants to establish the Sun family as the queen, and the first emperor is afraid that it is unthinkable, Zuo Zhaoyi naturally became the queen of Qu, and the future birth of a son-in-law is a natural reserve, so the Qu family still holds the Yecheng army, no one is at ease.

Mu Biwei muttered a few words in her heart, the life of the Qu family is not easy, no wonder Ji Shen slapped the Qu family in the face so much, there is still an extra Zuo Zhaoyi in the palace, and I think it is better to wronged a young daughter, than the plan of the He family to be suspicious of the royal family and have a grudge.

Outside, Nie Yuansheng smiled again: "If you don't use him, the ministers will look at it, and only the horses can do this job." ”

Ji Shen asked casually: "Which colt?" "Emperor Gaozu has a lot of heirs, but they are all involved in the competition between King Jiqu and the first emperor for the prince, after the first emperor ascended the throne, there are several who died in vain, and there are several who were sent to a remote place to "take the domain" and "manage", and there are only a few who stay in Yedu - Later, within a few years of Ruizong's accession to the throne, he fell seriously ill, and he felt that the limit had come, and the prince Ji Shen was young, in order not to bully the Empress Dowager Gao and Ji Shen's orphans and widows in Yedu after his death, so he supported his sick body and thought of a few excuses, asked these brothers to go to see Gaozu before him.

As for the imperial aunt, of course, there are many daughters of Emperor Gaozu, and the youngest one is even about the same age as King Guangling, but under the influence of the princesses of the former Wei, they were also affected by the King of Jiqu and killed a few of them, but compared to the princes of Gaozu, there are more surviving.

Ji Shen asked this question, but after he asked, seeing Nie Yuansheng smiling silently, he suddenly understood: "Lou Wangu? ”

"The ancestors of the Lou family have a lot of military achievements, and the horses have a family history, not to mention that they are also relatives with His Majesty, if General Lou presides over the spring hunt, the Queen Mother will not object." Nie Yuansheng seemed to be speaking for Lou Wangu, but in fact, as soon as he raised the Queen Mother, he made Ji Shen think of the partiality of his own biological mother.

"Lou Wangu said that he was a family scholar, but he never even came out of Ye, and he, a hussar general, was only sealed for the sake of the second sister Shang's good face." Ji Shen obviously won't look too good-looking, "It's better to use Mu Bichuan than to use him, so the latter has been at the border for a few years." ”

Seeing that the topic suddenly turned to his brother, Mu Biwei didn't feel his heart skip a beat, and secretly prayed that Nie Yuansheng's goal was not Mu Bichuan.

Fortunately, Nie Yuansheng really didn't have this intention, and vetoed at the moment: "Although Mu Sima has followed Mu Yin to the border pass for a few years, he is young, and he has not stood alone, and now Mu Yin is preparing to return to the northwest, and he may not have the kung fu to stay and participate in the auspicious for him, and the matter of hunting is different from guarding the border pass, Mu Sima must not be able to do it, not to mention that because Mu Sima has been at the border pass before, how can the Yecheng army obey him?" ”

He didn't mention Feihewei because Feihewei was the emperor's guard, and it was even more impossible to listen to others, Mu Biwei was shocked when she heard it inside, and secretly said Nie Yuansheng, what does this mean? This provocation can be described as naked!

I only heard Ji Shen say: "In this way, this candidate can only choose between Qu Shuqing and Lou Wangu?" ”

"I think General Lou is more in line." Nie Yuansheng talked eloquently, not thinking that Ji Shen had a dispute with the eldest princess of Xuanning over the palace maid named Fang Danyan, and said, "First, General Lou is the concubine of His Majesty's sister-in-law, and with the eldest princess of Xuanning on the side, it must be more His Majesty's heart than Qu Shuqing's arrangement, and secondly, General Lou is older and more stable." ”

Ji Shen seemed to be groaning, so he listened to Nie Yuansheng and persuaded again: "In fact, the matter back then, the eldest princess of Xuanning did not have to argue with Your Majesty for the sake of a palace maid, but because she was worried about the damage to her reputation, it was said that the eldest princess of Xuanning still cared about Your Majesty, Your Majesty was magnanimous, so why should she worry about anything with the eldest princess?" ”

"That Fang Dan Yan Zhen doesn't care about it after he has Maozi." Ji Shen really was still a little worried about what happened back then, and said with a little resentment, "It's just that every time I think of it, the second sister scolded me in front of the queen mother and the servants for the sake of a Fang Danyan...... Even if the emperor is in person, when he sees that I have any faults, he will discuss it alone in private, she is so domineering, and the queen mother only said a few words about her in private, saying something that openly reprimanded her, I am afraid that Ye will despise the eldest princess up and down......"

Although he stopped talking about this, he was extremely dissatisfied with Empress Dowager Gao's partiality in his tone.

Mu Biwei thought to herself that the Empress Dowager Gao was also embarrassed, most of the systems of this dynasty were originally inherited from the former Wei Dynasty, the princesses of the former Wei Dynasty, but in addition to the emperor's can't do it, there are few things that the princes in the world can do, and there are few things they dare not do.

And the eldest princess of Xuanning is the only concubine of Ruizong, her only surviving sister Princess Tongchang is so much younger than her, when Princess Tongchang was born, the eldest princess of Xuanning is about to decline, not to mention that although Ruizong loves Concubine Bo, but is not a person who does not distinguish between concubines, the eldest princess of Xuanning did not interfere in politics, but her temperament is domineering, and the half-brother who has inherited the throne is also reprimanded to him as a sister and brother of an ordinary family.

What's more, Empress Dowager Gao's concerns are also reasonable, Mu Biwei heard Fang Zhu Yanluo say what happened back then, and before he was filial, he took a fancy to the palace maid who was older than himself in his mother's harem, if this matter was spread, it would be more serious than when he insisted on establishing the Sun family as the queen later!

That will be the first emperor, but the world is not cold!

The eldest princess of Xuanning may have something to help Fang Danyan in this matter, otherwise the Empress Dowager Gao may not be reluctant to kill the Fang sisters, but it is more necessary to consider Ji Shen's reputation - five years ago, Ji Shen was only thirteen years old, in the eyes of the eldest princess of Xuanning, although her younger brother became the emperor, in the end, she was young, as the eldest princess, she has always been favored, Ruizong treats her well, I am afraid that when she heard about it, she was still immersed in the pain of her deceased father, and because Ji Shen had not been on the throne for a long time, she had not treated him as an emperor in her heart, Naturally, he couldn't control his emotions and reprimanded him.

I don't want this Ji Shen to be raised by the side of the Empress Dowager Gao, and she has a grudge against her only sister for so long, no wonder the Empress Dowager Gao wants to try to get the Qu family on the throne, otherwise with the instigation of the Sun family and others, once the Empress Dowager Gao goes in the future, King Anping, King Guangling, and Princess Xuanning don't know how they will be treated by Ji Shen!
