Chapter 521: Who to Appoint?
"My grandson's greatest strength is that he has nothing!" Lu Hehao settled down and said loudly, "It's the same for the country and for the private part!" β
"In the country, the grandson neither occupies the eldest nor the heir, the maternal clan has been destroyed in the hands of His Majesty, and the wife clan is also declining - and the grandson's wife and young son are no longer alive at this moment!"
"So if it is a grandson who ascends the throne, even if he is not in his heart, he will be abolished by the former harem because he will not turn his head, or even die directly in vain, he must follow the example of the first emperor, make great efforts, revitalize the royal family, and achieve the name of the Ming monarch!"
"After all, this is the only capital that can guarantee that grandchildren can sit firmly on the throne!"
"Yu privately, in order to hide his purpose, his grandson didn't dare to openly befriend the ministers - and at that time, how many ministers looked down on his grandson?"
"It's a henchman who can be called a henchman under his grandson, and it's just a Yuan Xuepei who can barely be counted!"
"But Yuan Xuepei's knee bones are broken, and it is not easy to enter the office at all, and he has been friends with Ah Xu since childhood, please ask the imperial grandmother to think, if the grandchildren do not reuse Ah Xuan in the future, who will they reuse?"
"Of course, the imperial grandmother must also worry about the matter of the bird's bow for Ah Xu, but the imperial grandmother must not forget that Cousin Qiu's age is not yet the time of real aging!"
"Uncle Qiu and Ah Xuan are not on good terms."
"With these two, it happens to be a check and balance on the temple - since it is a check and balance, of course Sun Er will not easily favor either side, let alone give up any side easily!"
When the Empress Dowager heard this, she said lightly: "The reason why Qiu Shuxia made all kinds of difficulties for Ah Xuan before, but Ah Xuan couldn't do anything with him, was mainly because the first emperor thought of brotherhood and gave him face to this cousin!" And he had the Su family behind him at that time. But now, your wife and young sons have all died at the hands of the Weisu family, if you ascend the throne, in public and private, how can you let those two families go? In this way, Qiu Shuxia is just fighting alone, Ah Xu has Yuan Xuepei's help, and behind him is the master who brought you into the palace to mourn the family - what does Qiu Shuxia do to fight with Ah Xu? β
She sneered, "You should be a three-year-old child of the mourning family, can you coax you casually?!" β
"Old Madam Duanmu is very old." Lu Hehao was not flustered when he heard this, and said calmly, "In order to send her grandson to the palace this time, the old lady has already exhausted everything in the Splendid Hall!" β
"And over the years, the reason why the old lady has been able to make the first emperor and the imperial grandmother both cast a rat bogey, is nothing more than that in addition to the splendid hall, the old lady is also very close to Xiliang Shen and Donghu Liu!"
"What the imperial grandmother is worried about is that even if Ah Xu can't get the legacy of Jinxiutang anymore, with the support of these two families, he will inevitably rise in momentum, which will make his grandson feel uneasy?"
Lu Hehao said this, but he smiled and said meaningfully, "But the imperial grandmother, please think: the grandson's wife and young son are no longer alive - if the grandson ascends the throne, how can this harem be ownerless?!" β
"Grandson remembers, Xiliang Shen and Donghu Liu, there will be unmarried daughters in the imperial capital!"
"The reason why the Shen and Liu families were introduced by Old Madam Duanmu and were friendly with Ah Xu, in the final analysis, is also for an opportunity to advance!"
"But Ah Xu's surname is not Shen, he is not surnamed Liu, or even Duanmu!"
"If they can connect directly with their grandchildren through their own family, why wouldn't they do it?"
Lu Hehao looked at the Empress Dowager with a cold expression and continued, "At that time, these two families will be directly used by Sun Er, and Ah Xu's power will naturally not be too large - in this case, why should Sun Er be afraid of Ah Xu?" β
"That's why the mourning family can't trust you!" The Empress Dowager sneered, "You are connected to the wife of the hair, the eldest son of your own son, you all say don't want it, you don't want it, such a heart, extremely cold!" How can the mourning family believe that after you ascend the throne, you will fulfill your promise at this moment and treat the younger generations who are valued by the mourning family?! β
The Empress Dowager's words came from the bottom of her heart: Originally, when she learned that Lu Hehao was assassinated, in order to escape, she used his wife and young son as a barrier to block arrows for herself, so she felt cold in her heart, this will listen to the meaning of Lu Hehao's words, even if there is no such thing as assassination, I am afraid he will not let Sikong Yihan live with Lu Chenggui for a long time, such a person, who can believe him?
Who would dare to believe him?
"The imperial grandmother only said that it was inappropriate for the grandson to abandon his wife and son, but she also asked the imperial grandmother to stand in a fair perspective and think about the grandson!" When Lu Hehao heard this, he said calmly, "First of all, the imperial grandmother must know about the identity of Sikong Yihanβover the years, it has been her grandson who has endured her and let her!" To be honest, the grandchildren have long had enough! β
"The grandson treats her as an abandoned son, although it is a loss of the way to be a husband, but it is also because she has killed herself!"
"As for the ...... of that child"
Lu Hehao mentioned his own flesh and blood, revealing a touch of complexity in the end, and paused before saying, "He was born deficient, and he has been good at raising him before, and he has a glimmer of life." However, when his grandson was in prison, no one in the house was in charge of the overall situation, and Sikong Yihan only knew how to mess around, and he neglected him - after his grandson was released from prison, the child was already dying! The doctor told his grandson that the child had no chance to grow up, and that it would only be painful to live in this world in the future! β
He knew that with such an explanation, he would definitely not be able to convince the Empress Dowager.
After all, even if Lu Chenggui can't live tomorrow, as the father of his biological body, he actually pulled his biological son out as a shield at a critical juncture - such a move, as long as it is a normal person, it is impossible to approve.
So Lu Hehao didn't bother to talk about it here, and after a few words, he changed his words and asked rhetorically, "Your Majesty can't sit on the throne for long, and the queen, ministers, and queen mother are not fuel-efficient lamps!" If the imperial grandmother doesn't decide as soon as possible, I'm afraid that even if you have the most respected generation and status, it will be difficult to take the initiative in the next choice of the new monarch! β
Lu Hehao raised his head, stared at the Empress Dowager and asked, "But I don't know if my grandson can know, your choice?" β
The crown prince and King Su are easy to be held in power by their relatives, and they cannot satisfy the private wishes of the empress dowager to take care of Jian Xubai and other juniors.
Li Lu Hehao, it was easy to control in the early stage, but such a person who abandoned his wife and children and did not change his face and was still the way, once he has a foundation, it is really terrifying!
Other people who may inherit the throne, the king of Shu is young, and it seems that he does not have the qualifications and mentality to be an emperor at present.
And he doesn't have that foundation - after coming to power, although there will be no powerful relatives, it is easy to be controlled by the ministers.
King Xiang and his wife Song Yixiao had conflicts in their early years, and King Xiang had also been replaced, which was also not considered by the Empress Dowager.
King Qing is dead......
Who to erect?
The Empress Dowager unconsciously broke out in a cold sweat on her forehead.
After a seemingly short and long silence, she gritted her teeth and asked, "What about Duanmu Song?" Does she also support your accession to the throne? In this case, at such a critical time, why didn't she come into the palace in person to talk to the mourning family?! β
"At such a critical time, Old Lady Duanmu is still closed to customers." At about the same time, Su Shaoge was also talking in an inconspicuous small building in the backyard of Yanhou Mansion, "This is definitely not because the old lady has no mind to know mundane things, it must be a great love for the house!" β
Jian Xubai, who was sitting on the main seat, exchanged glances with Song Yixiao - they were discussing the issue of the new monarch just now, who wanted to say a few words, and the door announced that Su Shaoge had visited in person, knowing that on this knuckle, the second son of Su who was still guarding filial piety must also be here for the selection of the new monarch, and after a short discussion between the two couples, they decided to open the door to welcome guests.
After all, whether it is Jian Xubai's wishes or Song Luoyan's hints, they are all inclined to King Su.
Now that King Su's cousin has come to the door in person, there is no need for the Yanhou Mansion to refuse people thousands of miles away.
After Su Shaoge sat down, he greeted him slightly, didn't go around in circles, and said straight to the point, "But the virtuous couple also want to know that whether it is the Wei family or the queen, they will definitely not be willing to sit still and wait for death-since last night, the entire Wei family has not slept yet, and they are running around, thinking that the prince is paving the way!" Presumably, the queen mother in the palace will not be idle! β
Empress Wei was able to think of persuading Emperor Duanhua to take the lead and give way to the crown prince, how could the Su family not think of it?
Su Shaoge said bluntly, "Although it is said that the personal relationship between the virtuous couple and the queen has always been good, but in the end, it can't kiss the flesh and blood between His Majesty and the prince!" Now that His Majesty has fallen into notoriety, even if he becomes the emperor in the future, it will be impossible to compete with the crown prince for the throne - in this way, the queen's mother and son and the Wei family will inevitably give birth to Your Majesty, and in many things that are not related to principles, they will inevitably follow their wishes! β
"Although His Majesty is in such a situation now, he is to blame."
"But the virtuous couple must also know that His Majesty himself will not see it this way!"
"If he is no longer restrained, he will hold a grudge against the past, and he will take revenge - who can stop him?"
The meaning of the words: If the crown prince ascends the throne now, the Yanhou Mansion will not contribute half of its efforts, and it will naturally not be stained!
In this way, the empress dowager and the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom have their eyes together, and even if they haven't closed their eyes yet, as long as the Wei family eliminates the influence of these two, if Emperor Duanhua asks to kill those who make him unhappy, it is not impossible for the new monarch to choose to sacrifice the Yanhou Mansion in order to calm the matter!
As for the concubine Lu Hehao - Su Shaoge said lightly, "Those who abandon their wives and children are not enough to conspire!" β
Jian Xubai and his wife didn't think about Lu Hehao, even if they didn't mention Lu Hehao's cold behavior towards his wife and children this time, they were not interested in this prince.
First, their relationship with Lu Hehao was just a normal relationship earlier, and according to the information provided by the Empress Wei, Lu Hehao was still the mastermind of the smallpox incident in the last year, and they didn't want Lu Hehao to be the emperor because of this personal grudge; Second, Lu Hehao's chances of ascending the throne are not great, even if he overthrows Emperor Duanhua this time, but there is no one behind him, with him in his early twenties, if he wants to be talented or not, he wants to be famous, he wants to surpass the crown prince and King Su to ascend the throne, and his hopes are too slim!
Yanhou Mansion is not desperate now, he has to burn this cold stove, and now there are promising princes and Su Wang to choose, what do you want to pick him?
However, Song Yixiao still asked: "Does the second prince know that Lu Hehao, a concubine, how did he enter Mingren Palace last night?" β
