Chapter 35: Grounding Again
However, the cooked duck may also fly away.
Don't have to wait for two days, Qi Ying was grounded again.
Because of a major event in the Beiyuan Palace, the queen was imprisoned.
?? Qi Ying: What does the queen's solitary confinement have to do with me?
This really has nothing to do with Qi Ying, but Chu Yanxu really didn't remove the two guards.
The queen's seclusion is not a trivial matter, it can be described as a major event that shakes the harem and causes an uproar in the government and the opposition.
Therefore, some forces in the Beiyuan Imperial Court have begun to move, and some people even speculate that the loss of power of the queen of the harem is a sign that the position of the crown prince of the East Palace is not guaranteed.
However, such speculation is not unreasonable.
Chu Ningheng is the third prince of the dynasty, with the eldest prince Chu Ninghao, the fourth prince Chu Ningxiao, the fifth prince, the seventh prince, and the eighth prince, a total of six princes, and the main reason why he can successfully ascend to the crown prince is that he is the son of the queen and has the status of concubine. At the same time, in the court, the eldest prince has a lot of momentum, and he has the tendency to fight against Chu Ningheng.
In the past few days, the two major war camps headed by the crown prince and the eldest prince have been fighting openly and secretly, which has caused unrest in the court for a while.
In Xinxufang, Chu Yanxu and the fourth prince Chu Ningxiao sat opposite each other.
"In the past few days, the Su Wangfu must be a city, right?" Chu Ningxiao said, carrying the pot and pouring a cup of tea for Chu Yanxu, "I heard that Uncle Su Wang closed his door yesterday?" ”
"The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. This kind of hustle and bustle is only for a while, and my father is only doing this to keep the palace quiet. I don't know why the four princes asked me to come today? ”
Chu Yanxu and Chu Ningxiao were not very familiar with each other, and they didn't want to talk more, so they asked each other straightforwardly.
In the early years, Chu Yanxu apprenticed in Cangyun Hall to learn art, and after returning from learning art, he either practiced in the military camp, or in Xianzhou, the fief of King Su, and only stayed in Chengping City more since last year, and saw Chu Ningxiao a few times, let alone sit down and talk together.
Therefore, this time Chu Ningxiao made a private appointment, but Chu Yanxu didn't really want to go to the appointment.
"Uncle Su Wang understands the righteousness, and has already done what I want to say, today I just want to have some tea with the prince." Chu Ningxiao raised his glass to Chu Yanxu to offer tea, and continued: "In recent decades, my country's national politics have been accessible, the people's will has been harmonious, and the people have been happy. But now the open and secret battles in this court are intensifying, which only increases the internal friction of the Beiyuan country. The people all know that 'brothers work together, and their profits are gold', but now my royal brothers are for power and profit, and they are the same and different. I am worried that if it continues for so long, it will make the family and the country restless, and the national government will be uneasy, if this causes other countries to covet it, and raise an army to attack it, wouldn't it be bloody again, and the world will be uneasy! ......”
"The four princes are concerned about the peace of the country and the people, and they understand the righteousness, and they admire it! I understand what Your Highness means, and so does my father. As a member of the royal family and a subject of Beiyuan, how can he not think about the peace of the country! The party is attached to the exclusion of differences, and we will naturally not do it in the Su Wangfu. ”
The reasons why Chu Yanxu continued to ground Qi Ying were: first, to temporarily prevent the crown princess from coming to Qi Ying, and to use her nepotism with Qi Ying to attract Su Wangfu to join the prince's camp; Second, to avoid Qi Ying being in a dilemma, because Su Wangfu will not join the prince's camp because of the relationship between Qi Ying and the crown princess, let alone the eldest prince's camp.
Of course, this is just his idea, Qi Ying, who has been grounded for more than a month, doesn't seem to understand his thoughts too much, and in the past two days, he almost made a puppet and pasted his birthday to curse him.
"It is a blessing for the country to have a pillar of the imperial court like the Su Wangfu."
"His Royal Highness praises falsely, having a prince like His Royal Highness who is worried about the country and the people, and is far-sighted, is the luck of the royal family and the country."
"If there is no foresight, there must be near-term worries. I tried my best to reconcile everywhere, but I didn't want to see my roommates fighting and fratricidal fighting, which would cause internal and external troubles and unrest for the people in the future. ”
"This turmoil in the court, caused by the harem queen being imprisoned, everyone speculated that the crown prince's position was unstable, I don't know what mistake the queen made, which caused His Majesty to be so angry?"
"I don't know much about the harem, and my father didn't say it. In the harem, Concubine Wen has long been eyeing the throne, and the eldest prince also covets the position of the East Palace. Chu Ningxiao sighed deeply.
Then, Chu Yanxu and Chu Ningxiao both drank tea quietly and no longer talked about the court.
