Chapter 320: Raging Fire
"If, I mean, if the emperor is suddenly gone, will the crown prince succeed to the throne directly?" Xiao Baoxin asked.
Xie Xian didn't want to say how tense his nerves had been recently, which was exactly what he was considering.
It is certain that Liu Guifei was poisoned, as for the murderer, it can be said that it can be said that it is the queen or the prince, and he can't escape these two people left and right, but in fact he prefers the prince.
The prince is irritable and impulsive, like his style.
If it was Queen Wang, it would definitely not be Concubine Liu Guifei who would do it, so much was tolerated, would she still make a mistake at this time? To put it mildly, even if you start, it's not against Liu Guifei. Wouldn't it be better for King Xin'an, who is outside the palace, to start and benefit more?
The murderer only considered that Prince Xin'an was expensive by his mother, and the emperor valued him because he favored her mother, but he didn't want to think that the only one who really threatened the throne was King Xin'an.
What's so terrible about a childless Liu Guifei? The toothless tiger praised her. The other seventeenth king is still young, and the road is flickering, and when he grows up, the prince is already full-fledged, and if it is not good, maybe the emperor will die of old age.
But after killing Liu Guifei, there is still King Xin'an?
With this kind of strategy, Xie Xian even suspected that it was not the idea given by the strategists around the prince, it was purely that the prince himself secretly hated it, and he was poisoned on a whim.
……
The problem now is that the emperor is bent on changing the crown prince, which pushes the queen and the prince to the opposite side, and a prince who may be deposed in a minute has his hands stained with blood, and it is not impossible to kill again.
As Xiao Baoxin said, after the death of Concubine Liu Guifei, Emperor Yuheng became addicted to the vice of alcoholism, and now he is not happy without drinking, and he can't sleep without drinking two pots of wine at night.
He is tossing his own body, is accelerating his decay.
Xie Xian was worried that the queen and the crown prince would be blackmailed, and this worry was far better than Emperor Yuheng's gradually collapsed body.
But there is no way to say this to Emperor Yuheng. Your wife and your son could kill you at any time - the emperor can think for himself, but no one else can say that.
Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, especially the old Song Dynasty, these emperors are bloody one by one, and even their own brothers and sisters kill each other, how many heads does he have as an outsider to dare to say such disobedient words?
“…… Yes. Xie Xian replied.
"The crown prince is the legitimate heir, and once the throne is empty, it is natural for him to ascend the throne."
"I know what you're trying to say."
This was the first time she had mentioned to him the imperial court and the battle for the throne, and he could feel her involuntarily nervous, she was really worried and afraid.
"If the crown prince ascends the throne, we, the Xie family and the Xiao family, will not be at peace."
"Not only that, many families that the prince doesn't look down on will be unlucky."
Xie Shizhong once taught the prince, but later he was pushed when he was not in good health. Xie Xian had also met the prince in private, a very arrogant and irascible person, because he became famous and famous at a young age, and the prince even troubled him.
It's all something that isn't worth mentioning, but the prince takes it very seriously. And Xie Xian doesn't like a straw bale, the two are not right by nature.
In front of Emperor Yuheng, the prince's temper is impatient at best, but in the eyes of others, he is irritable, and if he doesn't pay attention to it, he can offend him and make a black hand at any time.
When he was young, he let himself go, beating and scolding the children of the official family at every turn, and later when he grew up, he rushed to attack his own people in the East Palace when he saw more.
If the prince is not overthrown, Xie Xiaoxu will not be able to fall well, and Xie Xian will be like a mirror in his heart.
He just didn't know if Xiao Baoxin was so politically sensitive, or where he got such a conclusion. She seems to have always been quite jealous of the prince.
"But don't be afraid, I'm all here." Xie Xian touched Xiao Baoxin's face, he didn't like her worried look a little bit.
She should be happy and wanton.
Xiao Baoxin nodded, she believed that without him, the Xiao family had no choice but to make one move.
It's a last resort, neither she nor Daddy wants to.
"I've been thinking about it these days, what if the emperor dies suddenly and the crown prince ascends the throne, if he puts us all in prison and kills us all...... Our child is only so young, and I don't know what he will face, whether he will be born to see this beautiful mountain and river. ”
Xie Xian suddenly burned a raging fire in his heart, whoever let his son not be born to see the world, he would let that person not see the sun the next day!
"Don't worry, I've got you!"
The tone is different.
Xiao Baoxin tilted his head to his shoulder.
"With you, I don't worry. You also want to be safe, our family is safe. ”
###
The next day during the Dragon Boat Festival, the servants in the house were busy early in the morning, tying the wormwood into a human shape, and hanging each courtyard on the door.
Today, the Qinhuai River was crossed, and Emperor Yuheng wanted to take all the officials to watch it together, Xie Xian got up and simply drank a bowl of porridge and went to the court.
Xiao Baoxin slipped around the courtyard for half an hour, and seeing that the time was almost up, he got up and took Cai Wei Youmei to Yi'an Hall. They all know that they are going to go shopping and have fun today, and the four Yahuan are all trying to open their eyes, but the Xie family has gone out this time, and it is impossible for Yahuan's mother-in-law to let her junior bring too much, at most two.
Xiao Baoxin didn't favor one over the other, so he let the four of them fight grass, and the one who won went with her.
Cai Wei and Youmei were the winners.
When they went to Yi'an Hall, from the master to the servants, each of them was given a five-colored ribbon, which was called longevity and tied to his arm.
I have booked a room on the side of the Qinhuai River, and I can watch the dragon boat race while eating.
Mother Xie called Xiao Baoxin and Xiao Ning to her side, sat in the first car with her, and then got on the car in turn, and the four ox carts with a total of thirty or forty rings and more than forty nursing homes went to the Qinhuai River.
When they arrived, the banks of the Qinhuai River were already crowded with people, and thanks to the physical fight of the courtyard, they squeezed out of the way, otherwise they might be blocked out. On weekdays, the ox cart will go steadily, how slow it is, and today it is that the cows are going to sleep, and the slow mess is a mess, saying that it is actually rubbing, only to pity its cow hooves.
In front of the restaurant, the dragon boat was about to start, Xiao Baoxin helped Xie Mu to walk in the front, and it was much more spacious as soon as he entered it.
This Ruyi building is a first-class restaurant in Jiankang City, a total of four floors, carved beams and painted buildings, beautiful, every festival must be booked in advance, otherwise the door is high, no matter how high the official position is not accommodating, it is rumored that this is the industry of the king of Jiangxia, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a day to make money.
Especially on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival in May, there is a dragon boat race every year, and the emperor is there in person, and there is no room until half a year ago.
