He didn't mind if they came to grab the chair with him, as the Queen Mother said, he had already expected it, and he made the third son the crown prince, one because he was the only prince who kept to himself and didn't make too many moves after returning to the imperial city last time.

The second is also to further stimulate the other sons, simply put, to use the third son as an introduction, so that the other sons begin to show their desires and faces.

He always said that these sons of his were like himself, but not like himself.

It's like that ambition and hard work, it's not like the overall situation is not enough, the only thing that makes him feel that all aspects are suitable is the ninth son, but the child's heart is not here.

He has been waiting, waiting for the actions of these sons, waiting to see which one is the one who can really let him entrust the country, but the fifth son's approach has given him a head start.

He had imagined thousands of things, but he never thought that he would choose to cooperate with Mongolia, which was no different from recognizing a thief as his father.

The Queen Mother sighed lightly, stepped forward and raised her hand to pat him on the shoulder, "So, do you want to continue?" Maybe the future ...... There are many more difficult to accept. "Although I don't want to guess my grandson with the worst outcome, a child in the royal family has never been about pure goodness.

Because too simple and kind people can't live here, even if they are protected by elders for a while, they can't protect them for a lifetime, and it is even more difficult for brothers not to be suspicious of each other.

After two dynasties, and suffered from the faint monarch and favorite concubines in that era, the Queen Mother understands it better than anyone else, so she also knows that things like the five princes may not be the only example.

Wei Guojun's shoulders suddenly shrugged down, as if he had been drained of all his strength, and the wrinkles that had gradually faded due to the treatment were a little deeper.

He closed his eyes vigorously, raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, and when he opened his eyes again, his eyes were already clear and resolute.

"If the Wei State cannot be handed over to a suitable successor, then I would rather be ruined than become someone else's knife and wantonly trample on the division."

The Queen Mother frowned slightly, "Actually, San'er is not bad, enterprising, calm and sufficient, with strategy and means." ”

Wei Guojun sighed lightly, "The third child is suitable for being a hero in troubled times, but not suitable for being a Ming monarch in a peaceful world, especially now with Tang'er's help, as long as Wei continues to maintain its current state, there will be no chaos for the time being, as for Mengguo, as long as they reign alone for one day, they don't want to come out, so what they need more now is the king of Shoucheng." ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, her eyebrows were slightly relaxed, and she couldn't help but nod her head lightly, affirming the other party's words.

Then she frowned again and said, "You said before that you were going to send Cheng Rui to the mourning family, is it ......?"

Cheng Rui is the eldest grandson of the crown prince, and he is also the only two generations of junior members of the royal family, the first is the eldest grandson of the second prince, and only these two sons have married wives, mainly the second prince and the third prince were born first.

is that the eldest prince was born a year before Wei Guojun ascended the throne, just because he was born to the main family, and according to the rules, he is the eldest son.

The second prince and the third prince were born by the eyeliner sent to the East Palace by Wei Guojun's favorite concubine when he was still the crown prince.

Because the prince was involuntary at that time, he was forced to be with those women and give birth to children, so he didn't pay attention to these two sons, and he didn't take them with him when he fled.

It was only later when the two sons performed well in the southern and northern wars that they gradually changed their attitudes.

The eldest son of the third prince is now twenty years old, and he was married when he was fourteen years old, and now his son is five years old.

However, this eldest son has been weak and sick since he was a child, and he was afraid that he would have three strengths and two weaknesses when he got married early, so the princess made the decision to marry and leave his bloodline as soon as possible, and it is absolutely impossible for such a person to be included in the selection of heirs.

Yes, Wei Guojun's goal is to be in the third or fourth generation.

Bai Tang's medicine is destined for him to work for another thirty-four years if there is no accident, it doesn't matter if his son is not suitable, he has enough time to re-cultivate.

As for the underage prince in the harem, he is not among his choices for the time being.

Wei Guojun's plan was to take advantage of Cheng Rui's child to help teach the Queen Mother, after all, he was also taught by his mother.

What's more, if you get close to the Queen Mother, it is equivalent to getting close to Bai Tang and the ninth son.

If nothing else, the reputation of the Pharmacist Guild in the future will definitely not be inferior to that of Zongyang Medical Valley, no matter how Bai Tang chooses, he will not treat the child in his womb badly, and that child is the royal bloodline of the Wei Kingdom.

He calculated, with his son's possessiveness of Bai Tang and the mess in Bai Tang's hands, when the child is born, he will definitely be raised by the Queen Mother most of the time.

If Cheng Rui is a manufacturable material, it would be good for him to have a good relationship with him in advance, at least in this way, no matter what the relationship between the husband and wife and Wei is in the future, it will be enough to have a relationship to maintain.

The ninth son can be said to have no feelings for Wei State, and maybe there is still resentment, so he is unwilling to be the heir, so he cannot guarantee whether the other party will abandon Wei State in the future.

As for Bai Tang, he even understood that the other party was completely because of the relationship between the Queen Mother, and later added nine sons, so he was temporarily tied to the Wei State.

He was worried that if the Empress Dowager was not there in the future, then Wei would have no ties to the couple, so he had to make complete arrangements in advance, and Wei had to bind them.

The Queen Mother was so wise, she immediately figured out all his plans, and her face suddenly sank slightly.

She could allow Wei Guojun to make any calculations, and she understood them, but she couldn't calculate Bai Tang's future great-grandchildren.

"Your Majesty, the mourning family once said that it doesn't matter how you calculate the mourning family, but Tang'er can't."

When Wei Guojun heard this, he pursed his lips vigorously, and then said helplessly, "Queen Mother, I am the monarch of Wei State, responsible for the lives of the people of the whole country, the only thing I can do is to hold the Wei State as much as possible, so that the people can be rich and healthy, so that the Wei State can be inherited for thousands of years, for which I am willing to pay everything." ”

The corners of the Queen Mother's lips were slightly tight, and her eyes flashed.

"But don't worry, Queen Mother, Lone can swear to the sky, as long as they don't endanger the family and country, Lone won't hurt them at all, although it is indeed calculated, but it will not be too demanding, if Chengrui and ...... If it doesn't get along, it's okay. ”

As the words fell, the room fell silent.

The next morning, a holy decree blew up the court again.

The five princes who were temporarily imprisoned for the crime of breaking into the palace had a few more crimes, and they were directly degraded to a concubine to guard the imperial tomb, and they also directly crossed out their names from the royal genealogy, and they couldn't even get the surname Wei in the future, so they were completely kicked out of the list of imperial relatives, not to mention the qualifications to compete for the heir to the throne.

And more than a dozen ministers who pleaded for the five princes, as well as officials who had been close to the past, were demoted and imprisoned.

For a while, the atmosphere in the court became even more tense, and suddenly no one rushed out to intercede for the five princes, and the remaining princes who always found various excuses not to return to the domain also changed their faces greatly.

They didn't expect their father to punish him so heavily.

They knew that the Five Princes had some actions, but they didn't know that he had dealings with Yakaranzhu, and when the Five Princes were imprisoned before, they also guessed that there would be some punishment, but they didn't expect it to be so serious, which couldn't help but make several people's hearts sink.

Then, another decree came down, which made their faces even more ugly.

Under the holy decree, let the vassal kings of various places return to the vassal immediately, but they need to send their children and grandchildren to prepare for it, so that the queen mother can enjoy the joy of family.

If it was normal times, they would naturally be happy, so that they would have the opportunity to receive the line of the Queen Mother.

But now, except for the matter of the five princes, and the announcement of this matter at this time, there are two words that flash in everyone's minds, warning, proton.

The monarch wanted to detain their children as a warning to them to keep to themselves.

It's just that they didn't expect that this time they really guessed wrong.

No, that's half right.

Wei Guojun did have a warning, but the choice of children to come over was also for training.

Even if they don't have children, they can't be happy, because the holy decree says that as long as the vassal king has children, those who are over the age of five will be sent to the palace companion and the queen mother.

Unless they don't have sons for the rest of their lives, but how is that possible.

For example, the eight princes who are not yet married, there are also side concubines in the house, and they have children.

In addition, there is another content in the holy decree, the ancestral system is reopened, and the vassal king needs to pay tribute and tax to the imperial court every year, and the lowest tax will be punished, and the highest will be rewarded.

As for what punishment and what reward, it is not clear.

But even if they didn't say it, for the level of competition that was originally in place, even if the reward was only one or two silver, it was enough for them to fight, just for that breath.

However, the holy decree also stated that the tax of all fiefdoms is unified, and taxes cannot be increased privately, but only tax reductions, and if the tax can be reduced and the first place is obtained, the reward will be doubled.

All the princes wrinkled their brows and looked at each other secretly, unable to guess the intention of their father's move.

Some speculate that the father was planning to give them tasks at home and let them go to work, and they had no time to think about other things.

Some speculated that the Emperor had issued this mission to test their abilities.

But no matter what they guessed, it was settled.

The next day, the vassal kings all led their teams back to Beijing, and at the same time, the five princes who were escorted out of the imperial city on foot.

A few days later, Wei Jiuli's team returned to the imperial city, bringing back a cartload of prisoners, including Princess Ming.

Although Princess Ming didn't participate too much, she also had the crime of not reporting it, and she still interfered somewhat, not to mention that her mother's family was also involved.

The five princes have been deposed and assigned, and the results of these people can be imagined.

Wei Guojun left his son alive, and he was not so merciful to others, those who should be killed were killed, those who should be exiled were exiled, and the officials and slaves who should be rushed to the official slaves, even the princess of Shu were all given white silk.

There are examples of the treatment of those ministers in the court before, and no one dares to take the initiative to intercede this time, and they are involved, not to mention that the fifth prince is no longer a prince, and it is no good to help.

Moreover, Wei Guojun's actions did completely deter the civil and military officials, and made everyone settle down, especially the supporters of the other princes' parties.

Seeing that Wei Guojun was so ruthless to his son's entry, most of them couldn't help but start to retreat.

Obviously, according to the current situation, if the prince they support can ascend to the throne in the future, it is fine, if not, then these are their ends.

After so many years of silence and peace, they almost forgot that the one on the dragon throne was completely killed all the way.

The people who were killed by the Gu Poison Scourge before failed to wake them up, but now the ending of the Five Princes made them completely wake up and shudder.

All the disputes in the court palace did not affect the white begonia in the Jingning Palace.

Wei Jiuli threw everything to the crown prince the day after completing the task, and then took the people back to the palace and began to close the door again.

A few days later, another incident happened in the palace, Concubine Li had a difficult birth, one corpse and two lives, Wei Guojun took the Qintian Supervision Opinion, did not organize the funeral in a big way, but ordered someone to bury Concubine Li in Huangshan.

It is common for concubines in the palace to give birth to and die, so Concubine Li's death did not cause any turmoil.

And thinking that the Holy Empress of Xiaoxian died in childbirth, the courtiers were even more frightened, afraid that Wei Guojun would think of this again, and pulled out a few people to vent when they were in a bad mood, and they were all quiet as chickens.

Therefore, Concubine Li's death could not ripple at all, and it was quickly put aside, but no one knew that outside, the forces that Concubine Li had cultivated over the years were being quickly cleared, and they were also quiet.

The only thing I care about is probably Concubine Li's daughter Wei Min.

But Wei Min used to rely on Concubine Li to protect her extremely arrogant, and offended many people in the palace, and she was the one who killed Wei Yuan when she almost died.

Now without Concubine Li as a backer, Wei Guojun and the Queen Mother did not see her, obviously disgusted, and many people suddenly began to retaliate.

In less than half a month, the originally delicate and lovely, young and beautiful girl became haggard and withered.

But she was lucky, because she accidentally met Concubine Yun when she was bullied, and then she was taken back to the palace by Concubine Yun and protected by her.

Concubine Yun has not fallen out of favor yet, and Wei Guojun often summons her in his spare time, so most people don't dare to offend her too much, so Wei Min is safe for the time being.

"What a lovely girl, fortunately there are no injuries on this face, but these small injuries still need to be taken care of, and they must not leave any traces." Concubine Yun dipped the potion with a thin cotton ball, gently dotted some bruises and scratches on Wei Min's face, and frowned.

Wei Min pursed his lips vigorously, the corners of his mouth tightened, and his eyes showed resentment.

The palace maid holding the tray next to Concubine Yun also agreed, "These...... It's too much, you're a princess, they're just lawless, they're too vicious. ”

Wei Min's face became even more ugly.

"Alright, don't say these words, and be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth." Concubine Yun said.

The palace maid was unconvinced and said, "The slave and maid will only talk here, and it is originally, and there is no deep hatred, why bother people so badly, what good is it for them, is it difficult to be able to tie up with someone because of this, but it is really strange to bully a princess who can be." ”

The palace maid muttered, and Concubine Yun just shook her head and sighed, but didn't speak. Take a look at the latest chapter of "NPC in Ancient Times: Love at Doctor's Sight, Rely on Your Claw Book House" to read for free for the first time.
