Chapter 186: Succession
The process of Emperor Ruikang's ascension to the throne was not peaceful, because his father would sit on the throne at the beginning, completely because his grandfather was unwilling to hand over the throne to his father.
It's not that Ruikangdi's father rebelled, and it's not that he is bad, but because Ruikangdi's grandfather's favorite son is only a few years older than Ruikangdi, then he can't lose the throne to a young child, and can only reluctantly pass the throne to Ruikangdi and his father.
However, he made various explicit hints at the end, wanting Ruikangdi and his father to pass on the throne not to his son in the future, but to his younger brother, that is, the youngest son of Ruikangdi's grandfather.
It's just that Emperor Ruikang's father did not refuse his father's words at the beginning, but the throne is in his hands, how can he be willing to give up the throne, of course, it is to be left to his son.
Therefore, when Emperor Ruikang ascended the throne, there would be turmoil in the court, and many clans died at that time, and it happened to coincide with the attack of foreign enemies, so there would be generals like Xu Zhenbei who came out on top.
Many years have passed since this matter, and it stands to reason that no one will take the initiative to mention it now, but this time, Ruikandi himself took the initiative to mention it.
At the beginning, the youngest son of Emperor Ruikang's grandfather, he was named the Spirit King as soon as he was born, and then where the Spirit King went, no one knew, most people thought that the Spirit King had been secretly executed, but it wasn't until Emperor Ruikang decreed that the third prince Ye Jingche was converted to Butterfly, and he became the grandson of the Spirit King under the knee of the Spirit King, and everyone reacted in hindsight, the Spirit King was not dead?
The Spirit King is indeed not dead, although there are not many clans that can prove the identity of the Spirit King, but a few people still prove that the Xuanling Master of Linggu Temple is the original Spirit King.
"Master Xuanling is the Spirit King?" Dong Shu looked at Xu Shiqiu with a surprised expression, she really didn't expect that the old monk who would ask her with a smile if she still had vegetarian cakes turned out to be the Spirit King.
Looking at the little lady's face of surprise, Xu Shiqiu could only nod helplessly.
He is also a person who doesn't want to believe in this matter, but this morning, several royal relatives with high seniority came out of the clan, which not only proved the identity of Master Xuanling, but also gave a good life suitable for succession.
It seems that they are very much in favor of Ruikangdi's practice of passing Ye Jingche out.
In this way, Ye Jingche completely lost the opportunity to compete for the throne, but because he inherited the great inheritance of the Spirit King, he will have no worries about food and clothing in the future.
Ruikandi has worked hard for this son.
The most important thing is that Master Xuanling would agree, which is really surprising.
After all, he has become a monk, and it stands to reason that he has no relationship with the royal family, but now, he has agreed.
After Xu Shiqiu heard the news this morning, he was dizzy all the time, because he didn't know what to do next.
Their Xu family has a grudge against Ye Jingche, but Master Xuanling has helped him, even now, his little lady often sends vegetarian cakes to Master Xuanling, but now, ......
Dong Shu can also feel the entanglement of her father-in-law at the moment, but she doesn't know what to say.
Just when the two of them were silent, Ling Xiang's voice came from outside the house, "Master, madam, the old lady called the two of you to the main courtyard." ”
As soon as Ling Xiang's words fell, Yuan Xi's 'babbling' voice came from outside the door.
Hearing Yuan Xi's voice, Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu glanced at each other, then got up at the same time and walked towards the outside of the house.
When he walked outside, Xu Shiqiu directly reached out and held Yuan Xi in his arms, ignoring her struggling towards Dong Shu, and gently patted her little fart. After the stock, he said with a smile: "Daddy is holding you, you are getting bigger and bigger now, and your mother will not be able to hold you." ”
Yuan Xi actually didn't understand these words, but when she saw that her mother didn't mean to hug herself, she finally obediently lay down in Xu Shiqiu's arms, but a pair of eyes similar to Dong Shu kept looking at Dong Shu.
Dong Shu can actually still hold Yuan Xi, but Yuan Xi is indeed getting bigger and heavier, holding her from Shihuan Courtyard to the main courtyard, her arms will be tired and sore.
Now that her husband is at home and feels sorry for her, she naturally won't say anything to expose this matter.
Thinking of this, Dong Shu smiled comfortingly at Yuan Xi, then turned his head and did not continue to look at Yuan Xi.
Yuan Xi, who is nearly ten months old, doesn't know why her mother doesn't look at her anymore, she is a little unhappy, but she can't express it, she can only 'babble' and say things that adults still don't understand.
When Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu arrived at the main courtyard, Mrs. Xu was sitting on the main seat in the hall drinking ginseng tea, and when she saw them coming, she just nodded, that is, Yuan Xi, who always had to hug her for a while in the past, she would not have the spirit to play with her.
"I also know about your early dynasty."
Old Mrs. Xu looked directly at Xu Shiqiu and spoke, without the slightest intention of concealing that she had another channel to learn the news.
Hearing his mother's words, Xu Shiqiu only nodded, and did not ask how his mother knew.
Mrs. Xu has experienced a lot of things, and when she looks at Xu Shiqiu's current look, she knows that he is in a dilemma.
wants to take revenge, but Ye Jingche is about to become the heir of the Spirit King, Master Xuanling has a lot of care for the Xu family, and even the bad luck on him is suppressed by him.
Although now that I think about it, there should be the meaning of Rui Kangdi in this, but Master Xuanling also spent a lot of thought for him.
He Xu Shiqiu is not a person who does not know gratitude.
But Ye Jingche is really the culprit who ruined the happy life of the Xu family, and he can't help but avenge this revenge.
"Shiqiu, there are nearly two months left before Ye Jingche's succession."
Old Mrs. Xu suddenly said such a sentence, not only Dong Shu, but also Xu Shiqiu was stunned for a moment.
Fortunately, Xu Shiqiu was not Dong Shu, and in just a moment, he reacted to what his mother meant.
"Mother, do you mean that there will be variables during this period?"
If this were usual, Xu Shiqiu might be able to figure it out, but today he is in turmoil, he will not be able to calm down at all, how can he understand the meaning of this.
Mrs. Xu was very clear about her son's reaction, and after she nodded, she didn't mean to hide it, and said directly: "We all know that the Holy Lord is protecting him by doing this, but is he really willing to miss the throne like this?" Perhaps, he has always thought that he still has the ability to compete for the throne. ”
But now, Rui Kangdi directly passed him out, or passed him to the spirit king who had already become a monk, and after two generations, there was no chance to compete for the throne at all.
But Ye Jingche is willing?
"I'm not reconciled! Why, why did my father want to pass me over? I'm not the kind of prince who is not from an obvious background, my mother's family is noble, and I have a son-in-law in the family, why did my father pass me away? ”
Ye Jingche lost his temper in the Three Princes' Mansion, eager to smash everything he could smash.
Outside the door, the third princess led the two side concubines to stand outside the door, listening to the movement inside the door, and her eyebrows were a little more resolute.
At the beginning, the family and the three princes were hooked up, and they chose her to marry the third prince, just thinking about fighting hard, maybe they could earn a descendant for the Zheng family.
But now, if the third prince is really passed out, then she will be at most a spirit princess in the future, where will she have the opportunity to sit in the position of queen.
Thinking that he had endured for many years, but in the end he didn't have the opportunity to sit in that position, Zheng glanced at the two side concubines behind him, and then said, "You guys go back first." ”
Yu and Liu didn't say much when they got Zheng's words, and bowed down at the same time.
Although the two of them are more favored by Ye Jingche, when something really happens, Ye Jingche can only listen to Zheng's words.
It is precisely because of this that although the Zheng family is not favored by Ye Jingche, but in the Three Princes' Mansion, no one dares to really show her face.
After the Zheng family saw the Yu family and the Liu family retreat, they said to Ye Jingche inside the door: "I'm in." ”
Zheng Shi spoke directly, and the moment her words fell, Ye Jingche also stopped being angry, and then sat there quietly not knowing what he was thinking.
After Zheng came in, he ignored the porcelain fragments on the ground, and seemed to walk casually step by step, but he completely avoided the fragments on the ground.
When she walked in front of Ye Jingche, she said directly: "The Zheng family still has soldiers in their hands." ”
As soon as Zheng spoke, Ye Jingche understood what she meant, and he stared at Zheng in front of him with wide eyes in surprise, as if he knew her for the first time.
Seeing that Ye Jingche actually showed a surprised look, Zheng couldn't help but sneer: "What? Are you reluctant to take this step? After saying this, the Zheng family continued without waiting for Ye Jingche to speak: "This is your last chance, and it is also the last chance for the Three Princes' Mansion. ”
After saying this, Zheng saw that Ye Jingche's eyebrows already had a trace of emotion, so he continued: "Think about it, if you are really passed out, you will have the identity of a spirit king at most in the future, but if you fight once, as long as you succeed......"
Zheng's words were not finished, but she knew that Ye Jingche's heart was moved.
Ye Jingche knew that the Zheng family would say these words because he was unwilling, and he was not reconciled.
For the throne, he has been preparing for many years, and his mother has done it many times for him, just to help him clear the obstacles.
But if he is really passed out, the concubine will be very embarrassed in the palace, as well as those who have spent years of thought on themselves.
They're afraid they don't want to!
Thinking of this, Ye Jingche closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was a touch of firmness in his eyes.
"I will discuss this matter with my mother and uncle first, and if they all support it, you can go back to the Zheng family again."
Zheng was not surprised to hear Ye Jingche's words, and this matter was a big deal, not something she could decide if she could say a few words.
Moreover, if you really want to take that step, the concubine in the palace, as well as the Liu family, will definitely have to contribute.
"Yes, it's all up to you."
The Zheng family would be very respectful to Ye Jingche, but both of them understood that there was no affection between them, and it was the tempting throne that maintained their relationship before.
Now that there is such an accident, they will join forces calmly at this time.
For the sake of it, it is naturally the high throne.
