Chapter 209: Settle down
"Your idea is very good, I will personally return the gift tomorrow!" Jun Qianchen didn't intend to be the crown prince from the beginning, so after he returned to the palace, he didn't interfere except for helping the emperor deal with political affairs.
Jun Qianchen thought that his actions had clearly expressed his thoughts.
It's a pity that the eldest prince and the third prince still don't give up and deal with them everywhere.
Now, Bai Linxia's words reminded him.
He didn't want to fight, but others had already regarded him as an enemy, and if he wanted to protect the woman he loved, he couldn't be alone like before......
The next day, Jun Qianchen personally brought gifts and went to visit several princes in the court.
Some of them exchanged their exploits for the position of prince.
Several of them are the brothers of the first emperor and the uncles of Jun Qianchen.
These people were royalists and never participated in their struggles.
However, they are the most cunning and have already seen through the emperor's thoughts.
In fact, among the princes, they are most optimistic about Jun Qianchen, after all, he is outstanding and has a benevolent heart.
It's a pity that he didn't have any ambitions here, so when their relatives went to the Seven Princes' Mansion to find Bai Linxia to order clothes and jewelry, they didn't stop them.
A prince who has no imperial desire will never pose a threat to them, and the emperor only approves of the actions of their relatives.
Among his sons, the emperor loves and values Jun Qianchen the most.
After Jun Qianchen delivered the gifts, he exchanged a few words with them, tested their thoughts, and left.
During this period, when Jun Qianchen went to the mansion of the Marquis Xie, he accidentally ran into the little Marquis.
During this time, the little marquis often went to their mansion to eat and drink, and he and Jun Qianchen had long been friends.
Previously, the little marquis had helped him, and Jun Qianchen also understood his thoughts, and after learning that he only regarded Bai Linxia as a friend, the relationship between the three was very harmonious.
"Rare guest!" When he saw Jun Qianchen, the corners of the little marquis's mouth suddenly hooked up with a smile.
"I want to visit Master Hou!" He said directly what he meant.
"No problem, I'll take you to my father now!" The little marquis instantly guessed his intention.
Jun Qianchen followed him directly to Hou Ye Xie's study, during which the little Hou Ye deliberately did not allow anyone to report to him.
His father was an old stubborn, and he didn't want to enter the court all these years, but his father forced him to participate in the imperial examination.
The little marquis has always liked to travel around the world in search of delicious delicacies, and he is not interested in the imperial examination at all.
For this reason, the relationship between father and son has not been very good.
After Jun Qianchen met with Xie Houye, after talking about the affairs of the court, he offered his farewell.
"Actually, you came to my father to find out if he was the eldest prince or the third prince, right?" The little marquis took him to his yard.
"Recently, I have had some conflicts with Jun Qianyu and Jun Qianyu, they framed Xia Er, and I have always been a good person!" They were friends, so Jun Qianchen didn't hide his thoughts.
"Haha, you're really angry at the crown!" After the little marquis learned the purpose of his coming, he smiled very happily.
This is the Jun Qianchen he knows! regards fame, fortune and wealth as nothing, and only wants to live with Bai Linxia and the seventh prince......
"Xia Er is my reverse scale, no one can touch it!" Jun Qianchen's eyes turned cold and said.
"She's also my friend, and I'm not going to sit idly by and watch this!" He already knew all the things that happened in Bai Linxia some time ago.
At the beginning, when Bai Linxia was in prison, the little marquis wanted to come to the rescue, but was stopped by his father.
After all, the prince's infighting, once they intervene, it is likely to make Bai Linxia worse......
After learning of his intentions, the little marquis immediately expressed his willingness to match up and let his father stand on their side.
"I don't want the throne!" Jun Qianchen understood his thoughts.
However, he didn't want the little marquis to regret it in the future.
After all, if they were on their side, they would never be able to succeed from the dragon......
"Actually, our Xie family only wants the clansmen to live in peace and not lose their titles!" The little marquis knew early on that he had no ambition for the emperor, otherwise he would not have left Qidu and lived in seclusion in a remote town.
"I can promise you that!" Even if he doesn't become the emperor in the future, he still has the ability to protect the Xie family.
After all, he promised the emperor that he would assist the next emperor in taking charge of the country.
"Since you returned to Qidu, the emperor has the intention of establishing a prince, the eldest prince and the third prince are fighting openly and secretly, just to trample each other on the soles of their feet, and you are the emperor's favorite son, so you have naturally become a thorn in their side!"
Regarding the situation of Jun Qianchen and his wife, the little marquis is very clear.
Their Xie clan has never been easily involved in the battle for the throne.
However, at present, the struggle between the court and the Chinese government is becoming increasingly intensified, and in order to fight for the position of the prince, several other princes have also been framing each other.
Only Jun Qianchen can keep his heart, which is also the reason why the little marquis is willing to be friends with him.
"My father did have the intention to make me the prince before, but I refused, I just want to live in peace with Xia Er!" The little marquis is their husband and wife's confidant.
Jun Qianchen directly told the other party his secret.
"Actually, I guessed it a long time ago!" The reason why the little marquis wants to cooperate with Jun Qianchen is because he believes in him, "Now that the court is in chaos, the emperor wants to take care of it, but the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, and he can't bear it!" ”
"I don't want the Xie family to rise to the top, I just want to be able to live in peace!" The little marquis is free to consider.
Although he looks out of tune on the surface, he is actually clear in his heart.
The grandfather of the little marquis often asked him to go to the study to discuss the affairs of the court, although he did not enter the court, he was also clear about the affairs of the court.
Back then, he did not enter the imperial court, also for the honor and disgrace of the Xie family.
The three generations of marquis of the Xie family have already attracted the envy of many people.
If he also enters the court as an official early, he will definitely let others target the Xie family.
In order to keep everything in the family, the little marquis made an heir to the Hou Mansion who has no real power......
"Don't worry, I, Jun Qianchen, have always been a trustworthy person, as long as I have a breath of air, I will do my best to protect the Xie family!" Jun Qianchen believed in the character of the little marquis and agreed to cooperate with him.
Since then, the two of them have become more and more connected.
The grandfather of the little marquis was very relieved when he found out what he had done.
Jun Qianchen has a valuable character and is a trustworthy person......
Subsequently, the little marquis often went in and out of the Seven Princes' Mansion, but his actions did not arouse the suspicion of others.
After all, he is notoriously unambitious in Qidu, but there is also a slight gap between him and the gentlemen.
Although he loves to play, he never does anything hurtful, and everyone has a good opinion of him.
In addition to his father's anger, the little marquis's life was comfortable......
The little marquis likes Bai Linxia's cooking skills, and often goes to the Seven Princes' Mansion to eat and drink.
Bai Linxia knew that he had secretly formed an alliance with Jun Qianchen, so he often cooked food with him.
"Recently, Qi Du may really be about to change!" The little marquis ate the dessert she made, and he was in a very comfortable mood.
For the little marquis, nothing else is as important as tasting food.
"What happened?" Bai Linxia asked curiously.
"In order to compete for the throne, those few people have become more and more bold, and some officials who want to fish in troubled waters have also made small moves, which has made the people of Qidu panic!" Since ancient times, the Hades have been fighting, and it is all the little ghosts who have suffered.
"Didn't the emperor stop it?" Bai Linxia has been in contact with the emperor, and he is not a mediocre person.
During the years when he was in charge of the government, the Great Qi Dynasty was prosperous, and the life of the people was relatively peaceful.
Why did he let his son go and keep fighting among himself?
"They are all his sons, and the law does not blame the public!" If it was only one or two, the emperor might directly punish him.
But the adult princes all wanted that seat......
"If this continues, I'm afraid Qi Du will really face a bloody storm!" Bai Linxia sighed.
The struggle for imperial power has always been cruel, and no one else will end well except for those who ascend to the throne.
"The Seventh Prince really doesn't want to sit in that position at all?" Although Jun Qianchen had already said his thoughts in person, the little marquis still felt a little incredulous.
After all, that position is extremely attractive to men.
Not only the princes, but even some ministers are thinking about that position in their hearts.
However, they all have self-knowledge, and now the Great Qi Dynasty is very stable, and wanting to rebel is tantamount to death.
"Well, Qianchen's greatest wish is to live a dull life among the people!" Bai Linxia nodded.
At the beginning, they said that they would go to every corner of the Great Qi Dynasty together, but Jun Qianchen never forgot it.
"Tsk, you husband and wife are really a wonderful couple!" The little marquis smiled.
"There are many different choices in life, who said that you must be the emperor to be happy!" Bai Linxia said darkly, "I think it's too tiring to be an emperor, it's better to be a commoner!" ”
"You couples think differently!" Since ancient times, there has only been a river of blood flowing for the throne, and I have never heard that I don't want to do it because I am too tired to be an emperor.
When the little marquis learned that Jun Qianchen did not have the heart to compete for the throne, he thought that he was just dispensable for that position.
Who would have thought that their husband and wife would think that being an emperor would be better than being a common man and being at ease.
"If you are willing to give up, you will have to give up, although you have the supreme right to be the emperor, you have also lost your freedom!" Bai Linxia's face was relaxed, and there was not the slightest regret or hiding in his eyes.
"You see things very clearly!" In fact, everyone knows this, but few people can resist the temptation of power.
"Life is short for decades, if you can't do what you like, why bother to come to the world!" Bai Linxia instructed his subordinates to brew medicinal tea for self-nourishment.
"I think so too, but it's a pity that my family can't let go of the glory of the Xie family!" The little marquis was very distressed.
As a family of Houfu, they have a lot of things, and at the same time, they have given a lot.
The Xie family is flourishing, and if it is suddenly lost, I am afraid that the Xie family will be completely lost.
This is also one of the reasons why although the little marquis does not want to get involved in officialdom, he has to plan for his family......
"The Xie family wants to keep the title, so you and Qianchen cooperate privately?" Bai Linxia knew about their relationship, but he didn't know how Jun Qianchen was going to keep the Xie family's glory and wealth.
"That's right, now most of the ministers of the court and the central government are standing behind the eldest prince, our Xie family doesn't want to be in the same stream, the eldest prince is not a Ming monarch!" Little Hou Ye said.
