Today's third watch, sisters have pink tickets, just support it, Mo Da ———*————*———

In the Jingzhi Courtyard, Dongyu also served Sheng Xiuyi for dinner.

Then, when asked if he wanted to sleep, Sheng Xiuyi nodded.

Dong Yu didn't let the maid into the inner room, and personally made the bed for Sheng Xiuyi, and then asked him what happened in the palace.

Sheng Xiuyi told the story of the assassination of Emperor Yuanchang.

"Didn't he learn martial arts since he was a child?" Dong Yu was a little surprised, looked back and asked Sheng Xiuyi, "Why did you make a plot so easily?" ”

She remembered that her grandmother had told her that Emperor Yuanchang knew martial arts.

Sheng Xiuyi explained: "...... One is the royal forest garden, which is heavily guarded on weekdays, and three days before the emperor's hunting, the guards carefully inspected it to ensure that there are no loopholes; The second happened to encounter a wild boar, and His Majesty and the guards around him were firing arrows. More than a dozen arrows were fired at once, where could you notice that there were arrows aimed at Your Majesty? And the assassin was in the guards, and he was not prepared at all......"

Dong Yu paused and asked, "Are you okay already?" ”

"The arrows are poisonous. Fortunately, he was good at martial arts and dodged for a while, but the arrow hit the arm, or he died. The imperial physician in charge of the hospital likes to raise poisonous snakes, and the poison extracted from snake venom is just the same as the poison in His Majesty. Because the two noble concubines have been holding back, they are afraid that the imperial doctor in charge of the hospital will kill His Majesty, and it was not until the old marquis Xue entered the palace that he agreed to fight poison with poison, which can save his life. Sheng Xiuyi went to bed and lay down, his tone a little tired.

Dong Ying pressed the corners of the quilt for him.

He fell asleep on the pillow and slept until the time of the lamp.

got up and washed up, went to see Brother Cheng, and then went to Yuanyang Pavilion with Dongyu to greet Mrs. Sheng.

Sheng Changhou also went back to the inner courtyard, and when he saw Sheng Xiuyi and his wife, he snorted coldly. Because Dong Ying was present, he didn't scold Sheng Xiuyi in the end.

Please come back, and on the way, Dong Yu asked Sheng Xiuyi: "Why did you make your father angry?" ”

Sheng Xiuyi smiled and didn't answer.

In the evening. Because he had slept in the afternoon, he couldn't sleep a little, so he told Dongyu why Sheng Changhou was angry.

"Because of the matter of the Immediate Reserve." Sheng Xiuyi didn't care about him this time, and told Dongyu directly.

Dongyu's heart jumped.

Emperor Yuanchang was young. The princes are young, so the matter of establishing the prince has been delayed again and again. Now that Emperor Yuanchang is in danger of a catastrophe, the first thing the ministers naturally did was to propose the establishment of a prince.

Establish a prince early to consolidate the country.

Marquis Sheng Chang was angry with Sheng Xiuyi because of this incident, isn't Sheng Xiuyi optimistic about Sheng Guifei's third prince?

Does he support the second prince of Dongyu's cousin Xue Guifei?

"Your Majesty has been in a coma all day and only woke up this morning. After waking up, he put Old Marquis Xue and Daddy. Two other close ministers were recruited to discuss the matter of establishing a prince after the appointment. Sheng Xiuyi's voice was flat and could not ripple, and he said quietly to Dongyi.

Dong Yu said: "Your Majesty is probably also afraid. If you can't wake up, the queen and the crown prince are undecided, what kind of turmoil will the forbidden palace be. ”

Sheng Xiuyi smiled softly.

He felt that it was easy to talk to Dongyu and didn't need too much explanation.

She seems to be beyond Sheng Xiuyi's understanding of women. In Sheng Xiuyi's mind, the woman is either charming and moving, or virtuous and chaste, but she never thinks that women can be confidants with men. Able to talk about speculation.

He thought that the man's world was for women, especially his daughter, who was raised in the inner courtyard of the house. It's strange and complicated, and women who don't leave home can't understand it at all.

But Dong Yu can always say it.

"That's it." Sheng Xiuyi said, "Your Majesty values the most now, in addition to my father, Qin Boping, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Chai Wenhan, the scholar of the Guanwen Palace. Qin Shangshu is the protégé of the old marquis Xue, and the scholar of Chai University trusts the old marquis Xue the most, and both of them met the second prince as the crown prince. Daddy was not convinced, and almost quarreled with the three of them on the sickbed. Old Marquis Xue said to His Majesty, ask me what I mean......"

Dong Yu was stunned.

Immediately remembered that in the matter of eliminating Mrs. Xiao, the Sheng family sealed a first-class Mrs. Fu. A hereditary Mu Enbo of three generations, the Xue family has not gotten anything.

Could it be that my grandfather already kept this hand?

"You also said that the second prince would be the prince?" Dong Ying asked Sheng Xiuyi.

He nodded.

Dong Yu paused for a moment before saying, "Tianhe, do you blame my grandfather in your heart?" ”

Sheng Xiuyi's hand around her waist tightened, and asked, "Where did this come from?" ”

"Because my grandfather calculated you and the Sheng family, as well as the three princes. You know that. Dong Yu said softly, "You returned from the northwest, and Your Majesty promised the military squire, but you refused, grandfather will be able to see that you are very afraid that the family is too full and overflowing." Now that Daddy's status is just like that of Mrs. Xiao back then, how can His Majesty have no scruples in his heart? For the sake of your father, and for the sake of the third prince and the concubine for a long time, you will naturally not recommend the third prince, but the second prince. Isn't it all in my grandfather's calculations? ”

Sheng Xiuyi hugged her hand and tightened it a little tighter, enclosing her in his arms, for fear that she would disappear.

"You're half right!" Sheng Xiuyi laughed, "I didn't recommend the third prince and chose the second prince, I was indeed afraid that Your Majesty would be jealous of the Sheng family and the third prince." There is also a very important point, I think the second prince is more of a monarch, and he is more suitable for practicing the Ninth Five-Year Plan. ”

Dongyu raised her eyebrows and asked why.

Sheng Xiuyi said: "In the Mid-Autumn Festival the year before last, His Majesty rewarded the family banquet and personally invited the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to accompany the two princes. The age difference between the two princes is less than one year, the second prince is seven years old, and the third prince is six and a half years old. After the banquet, Wen Hui set up a stage in the palace and invited folk artists to perform. Then there was a short dwarf who danced the sword. The dwarfs were all as tall as two princes. Because the two princes have been practicing martial arts since childhood, the third prince said to His Majesty that he wanted to test his swordsmanship with the dwarf. His Majesty praised the bravery of the third prince, and asked the second prince if he was willing to follow him to compete with the sword. The second prince said that he did not dare to ......"

Dong Yu listened quietly, and was slightly surprised when he heard this.

I heard that His Majesty has always liked the third prince more than the second prince, do you think the second prince is too cowardly?

"Why not?" Dong Ying asked.

Sheng Xiuyi smiled: "Your Majesty also asked the same." Guess how the second prince answered? ”

Dongyu thought for a while and said with a smile: "I can't guess." I won't say that he is not good at swordsmanship, and he is afraid of losing to a dwarf, right? ”

"You guessed it, that's how the second prince replied to Your Majesty!" Sheng Xiuyi laughed, "At that time, His Majesty's face was not very good-looking, and the third prince was eager to try. Because he is the prince, the dwarf who competes with him will naturally lose to him, which is a sure thing to win or lose, and the second prince actually said that he was afraid of losing, which made His Majesty very angry. ”

Dong Ying was puzzled.

"The three princes finally competed with the dwarf short man and won the applause of the house." Sheng Xiuyi continued, "After the second prince came down, he sat next to Old Marquis Xue. My position is exactly opposite it. I heard Old Marquis Xue ask the second prince why he didn't dare to compete with the sword, and the second prince said, 'If I win the dwarf short man, others will say that I am heroic.'" ’”

Dong Ying laughed: "Isn't heroism bad?" ”

Sheng Xiuyi said: "So I was also taken aback, so I listened carefully." Old Marquis Xue was obviously stunned by the words of the second prince, and asked him why he didn't want to be considered heroic. The second prince said, 'The master said, in a peaceful and prosperous world, the waves curb the flying boat, and the middle stream hits the water is a heroic man, and he can be a general; Gentle and heavy, with a degree of tolerance, you can generalize. ’”

The smile on Dong Yu's face froze slightly.

She knew what it meant. The generals are the ones who lead the soldiers in battle, and they are brave before the battle; The generals are the ones who strategize, command the generals, and become the overlords of the world.

The words of the second prince are to say that he loves to be a hero, but he is a little brave and wise; And knowing the general situation, being cautious in words and deeds, is the great wisdom and strategy, in order to be a king!

A seven-year-old child can have such words and deeds, no wonder Sheng Xiuyi thinks that he is more suitable for the position of prince.

Even Dongyu listened to it, and he also surrendered.

He's been learning how to be a king.

"The people of the domain do not use the boundaries of the frontier, and the country does not take the risk of mountains and streams." Sheng Xiuyi sighed, "If it is peaceful today, the emperor does not need to be brave in front of the battle, but he must understand the general situation, understand the trade-offs, and advance and retreat clearly." is of the same age, the third prince seems to be an ignorant naughty boy, and the second prince is already learning the way of the emperor. He is more suitable than the third prince......"

It's even more suitable than Emperor Yuanchang, right?

Although Dongyu and Emperor Yuanchang did not have much intersection, but after meeting several times, she felt that Emperor Yuanchang was the character of the third prince, and did not have the bearing of a magnanimous monarch.

No wonder the eldest aunt said that Emperor Yuanchang liked the three princes more.

He probably thinks that the third prince is more like him, right?

"Grandpa Lou invited me in, His Majesty was weak, and asked me which prince I thought was more suitable, and I said the second prince. His Majesty bowed slightly, and he agreed...... Sheng Xiuyi said, "Daddy's face was blue at that time. When I left the palace, I explained to him that His Majesty had never thought of letting the three princes inherit the throne......"

"How do you know?"

"There is no king who is not afraid of his relatives interfering in politics. His Majesty's promotion of his father to be the head of the Three Princes is tantamount to telling the Sheng family that it is impossible for the Three Princes to be elected to the East Palace. Sheng Xiuyi said slowly, "And when I returned to Beijing, the third brother told me that after the collapse of the queen, the throne attracted a lot of speculation, but His Majesty often went to the palace of Sheng Guifei Niangniang. If he wants Sheng Guifei Niangniang to be in charge of the Six Palaces and the world, he should let Niangniang avoid gossip on the cusp of that storm, and he should step into Niangniang's palace less. He often goes to Niangniang, which is nothing more than to divert his attention and lead the water to Niangniang, so as to protect the real candidate in his heart.

These truths are clear to the authorities and the bystanders. Daddy is in the bureau and may not be able to see clearly. And Old Marquis Xue is naturally clear. Therefore, Mrs. Xiao was removed, the Xue family did not receive any reward, and the old Marquis Xue actually did not say a word. Because he understood His Majesty's intentions...... His Majesty had already thought about this, so why should I oppose him and make him unhappy? ”
