Chapter 107: The Battle of the Princes

"As for the five princes, they are the sons of the virtuous concubines, and the virtuous concubines have favored the harem since they entered the palace.

"The eldest prince has been set up as the crown prince since the day he was born, the prince has been frail and sickly since he was a child, and he has been hanging his life by decoction medicine all these years, and the position of the prince will be given to others sooner or later."

"Now there is a chance to sit in that position, that is, the third prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince, the fifth prince has set Miss Du of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion as his wife, but this time the emperor punished the Zhongyong Marquis family, but did not mention the matter of Miss Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, which means that Miss Du is still the wife of the five princes."

"The emperor's move seems to be punishing the Zhongyong Marquis family, but it is also a warning to the five princes."

Xuan Guogong nodded constantly, "What my mother said is that my son found out that the five princes had dealings with the daughters of many noble families in the court, and the five princes had bad intentions for a long time, it seems that he planned to use his in-law relationship to entrap the courtiers, even I can find out about this matter, and the emperor must know it, but what the son doesn't understand is why the emperor chose to be angry at this time?" ”

The old lady looked dissatisfied, "Have you forgotten the young lady of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion?" She is now the princess of Han, if the five princes are really just fighting for power, the emperor will definitely not punish the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion like this. ”

"The five princes have often been in contact with the Han King in recent days, and I heard that the Han King also intends to marry his daughter to the five princes as a flat wife, if there is the support of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion and the Han Wangfu, the power of the five princes in the court will be even higher."

"At that time, the three-legged situation of the three princes will be broken, this must not be what the emperor expects to see, the emperor can tolerate them fighting for power, but he will definitely not tolerate it, they form a party and threaten his status."

"Mother said yes." Xuan Guogong agreed, and his face instantly became solemn.

"It seems that the master chose to resign at this time, it should also have something to do with this, if you want to say who the emperor trusts the most over the years, it must be the master, the master looks cynical on the surface, but once something happens in the court, the master is always the first to stand up for the emperor to relieve his worries."

"The master treats the emperor like his own child, and now that the war in Beidi is over, the master should not choose to resign at this time."

It's kind of a bit of a brain to think of this.

The old lady nodded tiredly, "Why did your master choose to open it at this time, I don't know, but that old man is a monkey spirit, I'm afraid he can't smell anything." ”

"This time, the matter of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion's family, on the surface, was proposed by the old guy, but in fact, the emperor hinted that he did it, firstly, to beat the five princes, and secondly, to knock the King of Han, and thirdly, didn't you say that the spy on Beidi's side must be a high authority in the Dayu Dynasty?"

"Xue Lao will not have a status that surpasses him in the court, but once Xue Lao returns to his hometown, someone will definitely take his place, and the fox tail of the person in the dark will naturally be exposed."

Xuan Guogong suddenly opened his mouth.

"It's still the mother who thinks far-reaching, and the son can't think of these things."

"My wife, it's just that you have watched and listened a lot, you have now been a solid Duke of Xuanguo, with a son and daughter, all the affairs in the house are also in your hands, what happens to Duke Xuanguo in the future, it still depends on your father and son."

Xuan Guogong poured a sip of tea, "Mother, my son is determined not to have your scheming, when Jingyang comes back, when Qingrong gives birth to a child, I will pass the position to Jingyang, at that time, I can also be more relaxed, and I really feel very tired of intriguing with those old ministers in the court." ”

The old lady glanced at her son angrily.

But she didn't say anything harsh, what kind of character her son is, she knows very well, reckless, although calculating, but too brave, not suitable for that place where power is consumed, on the contrary, Jingyang is different.

Jingyang can be civil and martial, and he has a plan in his heart, if the Xuanguo Mansion is handed over to him, he is afraid that he will have to go to the next level.

Zhao is a good one, but in the end he lacks some calculations.

Qingrong's girl is different, that girl has calculations, can calculate, and knows how to operate, she is very good to these old guys, and it is really good to have her to assist Jingyang.

"That's right, Mother." Xuan Guogong suddenly spoke, "Today, above the court, the emperor dismissed Qingrong's uncle. ”

"I'm afraid that outsiders will think that it is the old man who is supporting Qingrong, but I think this matter has nothing to do with the old man, the emperor has always paid attention to filial piety, and advocates a clean and honest style."

"This Lu Wenlin was originally promoted because of his integrity, but now there is such an ugly thing, isn't this equivalent to slapping the emperor in the face? If he is not deposed, how can he calm the emperor's anger? It's good not to raid the family and destroy the family, this should still be for your sake, if not, then the Lu family, the family is afraid that they will be exiled and wiped out. ”

Xuan Guogong thought that Lu Wenlin's matter had something to do with the master, but he didn't expect it to be the emperor's intention.

"At present, it seems that the emperor's mind is really becoming more and more unpredictable, the emperor knows that Jingyang is still alive, but he didn't say a word, that day, the sudden questioning scared his son out of a cold sweat, and now in the court, the emperor is openly supporting the competition of the three princes, but secretly obstructing it, what does this mean?"

Taijun touched the hand of the Buddha beads and paused, put the Buddha beads aside, picked up the tea and took two sips.

"Our emperor, I also grew up, he was able to become the heir to the throne from an unfavored prince, how dangerous the situation was back then, who would have thought that the throne would finally fall on his head?"

"Over the years, the emperor's brothers have died, wounded, and sick, leaving only King Han with such a straw bag, what is the deep meaning of it? You should be able to guess that this time, the five princes found the Han King, and the Han King should have agreed, but I am afraid that it will not be long before the Han King's Mansion will be in trouble. ”

"The most intolerable thing for the emperor is that his brother covets the throne, and consolidating the government is to check and balance each other, but once the checks and balances are over, the situation will be broken, which is definitely not what he wants to see."

"These days, you must tell Nie Jingshuang not to let her get involved with several princes Pan, once our Xuanguo Mansion and the prince are involved, according to the emperor's thoughts, I am afraid that the Xuanguo Mansion will be in trouble."
