In the past, Tuoba Hong had few sons, and the only King of Zhao was the son of the Shen family, so he had to win over the poor and unpopular families for his throne. In the past, those emperors who had many sons, which one did not distribute the authority to his sons and let the princes participate in the court checks and balances. Although there will inevitably be new disputes in the future, as an emperor, you always need to use people, rather than using the Chu family and the Hanmenzi, it is better to use your own blood and bones.

A look of approval gradually appeared on Tuoba Hong's face. With a wave of his hand, the names of the five princes were decided. Tuoba, well, good!

With his son, Tuoba Hong is now refreshed and confident. Alas, it was really aggrieved when I didn't have a son in the past......

After a few days, the entire royal family was filled with joy. Although the five princes were not crowned kings, everyone could see that the emperor valued this child, and no one dared to underestimate it.

And for the harem, this newborn prince will definitely set off a storm again.

The biological mother of the fifth prince, Ye, was canonized as a noble concubine. According to the ancestral teachings, her position does not allow her to raise the prince.

The five princes were temporarily handed over to the care of the Empress Dowager of Changle Palace. Here, Takubahiro is bothering to find his adoptive mother.

The matter of choosing an adoptive mother was explained by Concubine Jing to the concubines in Huayang Palace. Because of Ye's smooth production, Tuoba Hong greatly praised Concubine Jing and praised her for "handling things properly" and "working diligently". Such praise is incredible, how many queens have been deposed when it is a sentence of "not effective in the palace". Concubine Jing was affirmed by the emperor, and her waist was even harder, and she took up the palace power to smooth the flow, and no one dared to disobey.

Now it is to find an adoptive mother for the five princes, Concubine Jing first smiled with the concubines and said: "This palace is not a very capable person, and it can only be considered unsatisfactory to take charge of the palace power, and Zhao Shuyuan and Tian Concubine are always assisted, the heavy responsibility of the five princes, this palace is powerless." At that time, Tuoba Hong was also here, and because it was about the five princes, he was very concerned.

Tuoba Hong listened to what Concubine Jing said, and his face showed satisfaction and appreciation. Compared with Queen Xiao, Concubine Jing puts him first in everything and follows his wishes, only what he likes, and he can't find a thorn.

Thinking of Empress Xiao who was locked up in Changxin Palace, Tuoba Hong was heartbroken for a while. Xiao Yueyi......

Would she really want to kill her mother? It's not necessarily impossible! Over the years, the queen mother has brought the new concubines to oppose her, and when she was busy with the front dynasty and couldn't take care of the harem, it was the queen mother who suppressed the Xiao family. Xiao resents the queen mother and wants to get rid of the queen mother so that she can cover the sky and do evil in the harem in the future, and it is reasonable to commit murder!

Takubahiro didn't want to believe it. Xiao Yueyi is not virtuous, but she is noble and proud, and has her own principles. She shouldn't have killed her mother's ......

Xiao Yueyi always knows how to take care of the overall situation. She understands that when the imperial power is unstable, if something happens to the queen mother, it will cause turmoil in the government and the opposition, and someone with a heart will take the opportunity to move. So she won't do anything to the Queen Mother.

But what he found in the Changxin Palace made him have to believe it - it was an envelope containing many pieces of paper, which recorded the physical condition and living habits of his mother, from head to toe.

And the last piece of paper recorded more horrific words - the queen mother has inflammation in her lungs, and catkins in spring can trigger asthma; The Queen Mother's heart is blocked, and if there is ghee mixed in the daily meal, it can aggravate the condition; The queen mother likes to drink fresh jasmine tea in the morning, jasmine petals are collected from the apse of Changle Palace, you can mix alum in jasmine in advance, and if you drink it without eating in the morning, there is a chance of suffocation......

When Takubahiro saw these things, he was so angry that his fingers trembled.

He and the Queen Mother lived in the fear of being assassinated and assassinated all their lives, which led to the two palaces of Jianzhang Palace and Changle Palace being heavily guarded, and the real preferences of him and the Queen Mother were not known to outsiders at all except for the henchmen around them. The Queen Mother's body has always been under the care of Imperial Doctor Liang, who is a tight-mouthed, smart and cautious person, and will not leak a little.

The Queen Mother's lungs are sick and her heart is blocked, this kind of thing is a top secret in the palace, how can people know about it and then grasp the weakness of the Queen Mother? And the Queen Mother's habit of drinking jasmine water in the morning is only known to Wang Shurong, and even Mother Ning doesn't know.

Who is Wang Shurong? The daughter of Wang Ling, the commander of the Soldiers and Horses Division, General Wang was forced to die in the palace by the eldest son of the emperor at that time in the rebellion many years ago. Tuoba Hong was able to ascend the throne, the Xiao family was the biggest hero, but the Wang family was a family that did not have much power, but contributed the greatest loyalty.

Although Wang Shurong can't arouse the slightest interest in Tuoba Hong because of her mediocre appearance, she is the person who the Queen Mother trusts and relies on the most. And after her father's death, those uncles in the clan who had little ability like her all became officials under the grace of the queen mother. Everyone may have two hearts, but Wang Shurong is impossible, she still expects the Queen Mother to live a few more years and give her family more protection.

Moreover, she has served the Queen Mother for so many years, if she really has a different heart, she has thousands of opportunities to do it, and she will do it easily, and it is impossible to leave any evidence. How could it be that there was more to write down this nonsense.

But in the queen's bedroom, such a thing was found.

Why is that.

Xiao Yueyi said that someone framed her. Tuoba Hong didn't believe it, because in this harem, no concubine had the ability to stretch her hand into the dormitory of Changle Palace - only Xiao Shi, she had this ability.

But he has so far found no new evidence. So there is no way to convict Shaw.

Empress Xiao's matter dragged on like this. And it's not just Xiao Yueyi's business - Tuoba Hong can't forgive the person who made a move on the Queen Mother, so he grounded the Xiao family and prepared to deal with her, but this move completely angered the Xiao family. The current Tuoba Hong's power is insufficient, and it is not the best time to move the Xiao family, but Tuoba Hong can't bear it, so he still does it.

As a result, Prime Minister Zuo is now holding on to this matter in the court, and he is anxious.

Fortunately, now that there are five princes, Tuoba Hong's mood has changed from cloudy to sunny, and he will not be depressed to death by Queen Xiao.

Concubine Jing looked at the concubines with a smile at this time, turned her head and said to the emperor: "It's better for the emperor to make up his mind." There are many sisters in the palace, and there are also high-ranking people who can stand up to the status of the five princes. ”

"Let's discuss this slowly." Tuoba Hong smiled faintly: "The queen mother likes Jue'er very much and wants to keep him for a few more days." Concubine Jing, you should also pay attention to see which one is suitable, and I will discuss it with you later. ”

The last time King Zhao was concerned, he finally chose the Xu family. But unlike King Zhao, the five princes were the princes he had high hopes for, and even prepared for that seat. He was still not sure whether Lin Yuan was a man or a woman in his belly, let alone whether the child would be healthy...... The current five princes are his greatest hope.

The adoptive mother of the fifth prince can't be fooled at will. This candidate can't be like Wen Guifei's mother's family without a little real power, and he can't be too prominent and powerful.

He had to save some capital for this child, so that he could grow up safely and not be easily eaten in the middle; But you can't raise a tiger for trouble, even if you have a son, there is no shortage of people who force your father to abdicate. After thinking about it like this, the selection of this adoptive mother is really a bit troublesome.

Concubine Jing smiled and responded to the emperor's words. Tuoba Hong got up and went back to Jianzhang Palace, he still has political affairs today.

***

In the Jianzhang Palace, there is only one courtier here. He was forty-five or sixteen years old, but his figure was still vigorous. He sat upright on the lower head of the dragon chair, his legs naturally apart, and his posture was upright.

Seeing the emperor coming, he hurriedly knelt down to greet him. Tuoba Hong waved his hand and said, "Chu Aiqing is exempt." It was you who ordered someone to send a message to me, saying that Prime Minister Zuo went to Changle Palace to ask to see the Queen Mother, is it true at this time? ”

Chu Dakai respectfully arched his hand and said, "It's true. Your Majesty, Prime Minister Zuo has not mentioned the queen's affairs in the past few days, but from what Weichen can see, he will definitely not give up! Prime Minister Zuo went to Changle Palace, it must be for this matter. ”

The queen's affair arose because of Changle Palace, but what Tuoba Hong didn't expect was that Xiao Yu would go directly to see the queen mother. When he won the heir ten years ago, Xiao Yu often came to visit the East Palace, and saw his mother more often, calling each other in-laws, and they were very enthusiastic. But then he ascended the throne, and Xiao Yu faded away.

Now he went to see his mother again......

Xiao Yu is a smart person, he just wants to solve things.

After Tuoba Hong heard the news, he didn't go directly to Changle Palace to see what was going on, but chose to summon Chu Dakai first - he did this to let Xiao Yu know that he was not so jealous of Xiao Yu, and he would not be very diligent in dealing with him.

Where did the prime minister go, and where did the emperor follow, wouldn't that be smiling and generous!

Takuma Hong's fingers tapped on the desk. After a while, he suddenly raised his head and asked Chu Dakai: "Chu Aiqing, what did you say to him that day when the prime minister was going to 'die'?" ”

Chu Dakai was slightly stunned, and then smiled humbly: "At that time, Weichen just wanted to persuade the prime minister to avoid chaos in the court...... Wei Chen said two words to the prime minister, the first sentence was, 'Lord Xiao may have the intention of blackmailing the saint by doing this, if he angers the saint, Lord Xiao should be careful.' The second sentence ......"

Chu Dakai said, his voice was still respectful: "Weichen's second sentence is to tell the prime minister that there has been turmoil in the capital recently, and Weichen has transferred 300,000 garrisons from Huguang back to the capital. ”

Tuoba Hong's eyes shrank slightly as he listened, and then he laughed slowly. He stood up with his hands in his hands, turned back to Chu Dakai and chuckled, "Just bluff him like this?" ”
