Chapter 184: The Situation in the DPRK and China
"The saint has been more fond of the eldest prince in recent years!" Liang Zhirui also understood why Gu Chengyu asked.
This is a dispute over the throne, especially since the saint has not yet appointed a prince.
As soon as he went to the court before, the civil and military officials had to argue endlessly about it, and the saint either didn't say a word, or walked away. So far, only a few officials who are not afraid of death will bring up the old things again.
"And before that?" Gu Chengyu heard the teacher's voice, the eldest prince was just from the concubine, although he had the longest, but he did not occupy the heir.
The second prince born by the queen is a descendant, but he is not the eldest son. It is conceivable that this is another dragon fight, not to mention that there is a third prince on the side.
"It's hard to say." Liang Zhirui felt that it was almost the same before, and at that time, the saint's body was not so bad, and for his sons, it was even wet with rain and dew.
Gu Chengyu understands the teacher's character, this is almost the same, they are all treated equally.
However, he then remembered the Four Princes, "Is the Holy Lord good to the Four Princes?" ”
It stands to reason that this son has been far away from the struggle for the throne, and he has lost his mother, and his health is not good, so he should be more favored.
Liang Zhirui's expression was a little weird, "The fourth prince has been named King Jing, and a palace has been opened not far from the palace. ”
Gu Chengyu was very surprised, he was named the prince so early? Is this trying to make him die sooner? Is it because he is insulated from the throne?
However, he was puzzled again, "Since you are crowned a prince, why don't you go to the fief?" ”
"It was sealed three years ago, but the saint did not crown the four princes for a long time, so he did not go to the fief. When the ministers asked, the saint said that he would wait until he was twenty years old to add it. ”
Liang Zhirui felt that it was becoming more and more difficult to guess the mind of the saint, if he wanted the four princes to be idle princes, but he didn't want to crown the four princes early. However, if you talk about pampering, it is also not.
During his reign, he often went to the palace to walk, and the four princes also met him a few times. The saint was very cold to the four princes, and even when the four princes went to ask for peace, they had to wait outside for a long time.
At that time, he could only think of this as the saint's dislike for the biological mother of the fourth prince.
"Then he's living in the mansion now, right?" The prince will not be able to live in the palace when he is an adult, and the emperor will build the prince's palace outside the palace. However, they are all adult princes who have not yet been titled.
It is really rare for a prince like the Four Princes to have given a title, but they have not been crowned or given a fief.
Could it be that the saint hates his son so much that he can't even give up a fief? That shouldn't be possible, if it's really annoying, why not give a more remote fiefdom and get people away, so as not to be an eyesore in front of you?
"And when were the other princes crowned?" Gu Chengyu could only search for some useful information in the teacher's words. The others had not yet arrived in the capital, and they had no contact with these people, so they certainly could not understand the deep meaning of the saint's actions.
And that's what he's going to know in the future. After all, it shouldn't be difficult for him to be admitted to the Jinshi.
"The other princes are crowned at the age of fifteen, whether it is the royal family or the family, they will let their children be crowned in advance, so that they can receive errands early."
This Gu Chengyu understands that in the Dayan Dynasty, he can get married at the age of fifteen. In the farmhouse, it is also regarded as a laborer, and the children of the family and the royal family are crowned early, and they can do things earlier.
However, in this way, the saint's actions are a bit intriguing.
"Now in the palace, Concubine Xian is the most favored, and the saint also respects the queen." Liang Zhirui then told Gu Chengyu a few words about the layout of the harem.
Because it is a harem, Liang Zhirui can't know too much, but according to the views of the court, he said a few words politely, and did not subjectively explain his own opinions.
Gu Chengyu knew that the teacher was afraid that his opinion would affect his judgment.
Whether it is the affairs of the court or the harem, Liang Zhirui only said some things on the surface, as for other analysis, there are only a little.
"Who does the teacher think is that old man Hu on the boat? Does the teacher have a clue? ”
Liang Zhirui pondered for a moment, and then said: "If you want to say that there are adults surnamed Hu in the court, as far as the old man knows, there are several. It's just that the one who can be sent down by the saint to investigate the case is most likely to be Hu Maoqing, the left deputy capital, you can tell me about his appearance in detail. ”
In fact, Liang Zhirui felt that if he was really an inspector sent down, he would generally only be an official of the Inspectorate.
Hu Maoqing is a member of the Sanpin of the Inspectorate, and he can be sent down, so it seems that the saint attaches great importance to this matter, or maybe the saint doesn't want to be patient with that person anymore?
The capital may be about to change!
Gu Chengyu described Hu Maoqing's body features, Liang Zhirui nodded while listening, he was sure that this person was Hu Maoqing.
"It's good that you didn't get involved, it's a thankless matter. With your three-legged cat's kung fu, it's important to protect your little life! ”
Gu Chengyu didn't elaborate on his skills, so of course Liang Zhirui didn't believe what Gu Chengyu said.
"That's it! It's been more than an hour! Are you going to stay in the house for dinner or go back? ”
At this time, it was already a moment of time, and his granddaughter came to the mansion, and he hadn't gone to see it yet, and now he had already asked for leave from the mansion, just to wait for Gu Chengyu and Yao Mengxian in the mansion.
Gu Chengyu knew that the teacher was in a hurry to see his granddaughter, so he also planned to leave. I haven't seen him for so many years, and he always has to leave room for others to catch up, and he will inevitably get in the way here.
"Students, let's go back early! lest my father and mother be in a hurry when waiting at home. After a while, after paying homage to the teacher, the student went back. ”
"It's good! I won't keep you today, you come to Fucheng in a few days, and we'll talk again, you and the old man will go to the inner courtyard first. ”
Gu Chengyu saw that Liang Zhirui was already sitting still, so he didn't delay, and hurriedly responded.
Let's say that Yao Mengxian followed a girl into the inner courtyard and passed through the weeping flower gate. Then he walked through the verandah, and was led into the main house by the mother-in-law and the girl who were waiting on the side.
As soon as she entered the house, Yao Mengxian kowtowed three times to the old woman sitting on the top.
"Xian'er has seen her grandmother!"
Ning was sitting on the rose chair, anxiously waiting. As soon as Gu Chengyu and them entered the mansion, someone came to report it.
She waited left and right, and finally looked forward to it. As soon as the curtain was opened, the light outside was a little dazzling, and before Ning could calm down, a figure entered the room. While kneeling, he called out to his grandmother.
When the curtain was lowered, she saw clearly that there was a thin little girl about ten years old kneeling down.
"But Sister Xian?" Ning couldn't believe it, her hands holding the chair trembled, and she slowly stood up from the chair.
"It's Xian'er, grandmother!" Yao Mengxian took a few steps on her knees and looked up at Ning.
Ning hurriedly came down and took Yao Mengxian's hand, "Good boy! Get up! How can such a great gift be performed? ”
Ning Shi looked at the little girl in front of him, tears couldn't stop falling, she looked really like her eldest girl! It's carved out of a mold.
