is not a concubine, and Rong Guifei's background is not high, how can she push the twelve princes to that position? This is a question that Shen Huashan and Shen Ning have been thinking about recently, and they have a headache for this. (Eight is that all websites are called eight. Zero. book.eT)
There have been countless disasters caused by the abolition of the elders and the young in the past dynasties, and the royal family and important ministers of the previous dynasties of Dayong have opposed this. Even if the twelve princes have the heart of the emperor, they can't be easily mentioned.
Moreover, the second prince, the third prince and the fifth prince all have the power to compete, and the twelve princes are not adults and have no name, and Emperor Changtai will not easily make the twelve princes the crown prince. Even if the twelve princes are made the crown princes, there are still a few brothers in front of them who are eyeing the throne, and it will be difficult to sit in that position.
Shen Huashan felt confused about the road ahead.
Shen Ning felt a headache, if he wanted to help the Twelve Princes ascend to the throne, he had to help him establish his reputation so that he could stand out in the battle of the princes, but it was too difficult! A twelve-year-old prince, who has lived in the deep palace for a long time, has not yet been exposed to political affairs, and even eats, drinks, Lazar, and has palace maids and attendants, it is too difficult to establish a reputation!
Well, there's only one way left to go,! - Shen Ning clenched his fists and made up his mind. Since you can't stand out, then move all the people who stand in front of you! When Emperor Changtai only has the choice of the twelve princes left, there is no point in worrying about who is inferior.
Divide and wait, each of them is broken, and Shen Ning seems to see a thorny road in front of the Shen family. Move the first few powerful princes away. What a difficult road it is. It's just that no matter how difficult it is, we have to keep moving forward.
On this day, Shen Huashan and Shen Zejing were resting, and when they were discussing things in the study, suddenly someone hurriedly came to report that it was the fifth prince Shangguan Changzhi who came to visit, and he was already waiting in the front yard hall.
"Old lady, old man. The little one has already welcomed the five princes into the door! Good life is waiting! Is there anything else you would like to command? The porter is waiting outside! The subordinate said happily. The prince's visit is such a glorious thing for the minister's family!
The Shen family was in a hurry, but they were also happy. It is said that the prime minister's concierge is a matter of political experience and vision. The prime minister's porter has seen and listened to more senior officials, and he knows much more about the problems he thinks about than the minor officials of the seventh grade.
Although the concierge of the Shen family is not as powerful as the seven-rank official, it is also extremely sensitive to such things, so when the five princes came to the door, the concierge also greeted the five princes respectfully. While busily informing Shen Huashan and other masters.
The five princes came to visit? How could it be so sudden?!
Shen Huashan and Shen Zejing exchanged a look, feeling strange. They can't say anything at the moment, and they don't dare to delay. Hurriedly went to the front yard hall to greet Shangguan Changzhi.
No matter what purpose he visited the Shen family for, he was the honor of the prince, and Shen Huashan and Shen Zejing, who were courtiers. Naturally, please greet each other with a salute.
"Shen Shilang and Shen Langzhong don't have to be polite, speaking of which, the prince took the liberty to come to the door, and I just passed through Jingtai Street today, thinking of the many happy events in the past half a year, and I haven't said hello to the two of them." Shangguan Changzhi smiled very modestly, which made people feel like a spring breeze.
It's just that there are a lot of strange things in his words, a prince speaks so humbly to his subordinates. Shen Huashan and Shen Zejing were quite uncomfortable. For a while, Shen Huashan and Shen Zejing didn't know how to answer, so they had to say stupidly: "The fifth prince came to the door, this is the honor of the Shen family......"
Shen Huashan respectfully invited Shangguan Changzhi to sit down on the throne and began to look at the five princes. Because it has been less than a year since the Empress Dowager Ciyi collapsed, Shangguan Changzhi's clothes are very plain, but he looks even more beautiful and gentlemanly, but I don't know why this prince suddenly came to the door?
Shangguan Changzhi looked at the two of them quite uncomfortable, and also regretted a little, he should have said hello to them in advance, if it wasn't for his father suddenly sealing what Rongping County Lord, and hearing about the recent actions of Concubine Zhou Xian of Yikun Palace, he would not have come to the door so suddenly, regardless of the fact that he was still in the filial piety period.
Now it seems that his visit has caused the Shen family to speculate about him, which is contrary to his original intention.
I don't know why, Shangguan Changzhi felt more and more important to the Shen family, as if there was a force urging him to come to the Shen family, and he himself felt that he must seize the power of the Shen family. Today, he passed through Jingtai Avenue and asked his staff to report without thinking.
"Speaking of which, this is the second time that this prince has come to the Shen family, and this prince also came to the banquet on behalf of his father. In two years, the glory of the Shen Mansion is better than before. Shangguan Changzhi sighed, remembering that the last time he came to the Shen family, it was Emperor Changtai who came to congratulate Shen Zejing on his promotion to the rank of meritorious officer.
If the plan was successful at that time, it should have been used by the Five Princes' Mansion now, and the Shen family should have also thrown himself into the Five Princes' Mansion, but he didn't expect that one step would be too late, and now the relationship between him and the Shen family is still so estranged, no, he has to find a way to get closer to the Shen family in the future! Shangguan Changzhi thought so, and smiled more and more kindly.
Shen Huashan only promised to say yes, the five princes suddenly came to visit, it was something he didn't expect, the five princes appeared in the Shen family so clearly, wasn't he afraid that Emperor Changtai would be jealous of his personal ministers? Judging from the past performance of the fifth prince, it is impossible for him to be so careless!
Fifth prince, is this clearly trying to win over the Shen family? He couldn't figure this out.
Shen Huashan didn't understand, and what he didn't understand was still to come, when Shangguan Changzhi was leaving, his footsteps stopped, and then said with a smile: "Speaking of which, at the wedding of the second emperor brother, I also saw the girl of the Shen family!" The girl of the Shen family inherited the court training at a young age, and her tolerance was extraordinary, and the prince was happy when she saw it. ”
As soon as Shangguan Changzhi finished saying this, his staff took out many gifts, saying that they were given to the girl of the Shen family who had a relationship, if this trip was abrupt, please forgive Shen Shilang and Shen Langzhong, and said that he hoped to have the opportunity to see her again.
Happy at first sight? At that time, the only one who went to attend the wedding of the second prince was his granddaughter Shen Ning! In this way, the fifth prince came to the door this time for his granddaughter Shen Ning?! - Shen Huashan and Shen Zejing couldn't help but glance at each other again, the meaning was self-evident.
Shen Huashan looked at the many gifts taken out by the staff of the Five Princes' Mansion, it seems that the Five Princes are definitely prepared, it can be seen from the appearance that those gifts must be gifts such as fat powder for the daughter's family, and the Five Princes suddenly came to the door for their granddaughter Shen Ning?
Although the fifth prince did not explicitly talk about marriage or anything, the meaning was also very clear, and as soon as the filial piety period of the Empress Dowager Ciyi passed, he asked Emperor Changtai for marriage.
Marriage? Marrying the Shen family into the Five Princes' Mansion? If the Shen family becomes the wife of the Five Princes' Mansion, what will Emperor Changtai think of the Shen family? Shen Huashan didn't know why the five princes came out like this, the Shen family had just hooked up with Concubine Rong, and the five princes' mansions came to visit, and they also expressed their desire to marry Shen Ning as the princess, implying that they would not treat the Shen family's Yunyun lightly, which was too sudden!
For such a direct gesture of favor by the five princes, Shen Huashan didn't know how to react, and felt very embarrassed. Shen Huashan and the two were a little stunned for a while, they couldn't say anything to refuse, and they couldn't pretend not to understand, fortunately, the filial piety period of the Empress Dowager Ciyi had not passed, and this incident was not something that would happen in a while.
Shen Huashan and the two had to continue to nod.
Regardless of whether the Shen family is embarrassed or not, Shangguan Changzhi doesn't seem to care what Emperor Changtai and the courtiers think, and only takes winning over the Shen family as the main thing, for this reason, he still keeps building momentum in Jingzhao, just to make the Shen family a tiger!
Since the last time he came to the door, he visited Shen's house several times in succession, and each time he didn't have anything important, he was gossiping with Shen Huashan and others at will, and every time he came, he would bring a lot of gifts to Shen Ning.
Gradually, everyone knew that the five princes were in love with Shen Ning, and as soon as the filial piety period of the Empress Dowager Ciyi expired, the five princes would ask for marriage. There are many officials who envy the Shen family for having a princess - Shen Ning is already the fifth princess.
Even Emperor Changtai turned a blind eye and ignored Shangguan Changzhi's behavior, he really wanted to see what kind of reaction the whetstone of the Shen family he chose would have, did he really want to be the wife of the fifth prince or the pure minister of Emperor Changtai? In this regard, he was a little curious, curious about what the Shen family would do next!
Seeing that the emperor had turned a blind eye, the officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory naturally would not meddle in their affairs. Although he is still in the filial piety period, the fifth prince did not mention marriage or anything, but just went to visit the Shen family, is he not filial? It's a joke.
Shangguan Changzhi's mind is very simple, that is, he wants to cause the established fact that Shen Ning will not marry in the Fifth Prince's Mansion, and the method is also extremely effective, at least the ordinary official eunuchs will not come to the door in advance, under his big momentum, who would dare to snatch his wife with the Fifth Prince? It's not that it's a long life, not to mention that there are many girls in Jingzhao's boudoir, and Shen Ning of the Shen family has never had much reputation, why bother to carry it for such a girl and the Five Princes' Mansion?
It was such a strange situation that made Shen Huashan and the others distressed, but Shen Ning, who was in the center of the storm, was not affected at all, as if he was completely unaware of these rumors.
In fact, Shangguan Changzhi's thoughts, she knew it clearly, but she didn't think too much about it at all, there was still a month before the expiration of the filial piety of the Empress Dowager Ciyi, who knew what would happen this month? It's right to take precautions, but it's not advisable to worry about the sky, and there's no point in having that kind of heart!
Not only did she think so, but she also told Shen Huashan and Shen Zejing her thoughts, so that they should not worry about it. After her persuasion many times, Shen Huashan and Shen Zejing also put aside this distress, did whatever they had to do, and went on step by step according to the original plan.
