Chapter 304: The Mouse Thrower

Ji Weiguan entered the palace at this time, and there must have been nothing else to do except speak to his wife, but including the queen mother, he didn't expect that he would propose to replace the princess and princess of the Ji family with the hereditary title of the Ji family.

"It's nonsense!" When the Queen Mother heard this, her already unsightly face became more and more ugly, and she didn't wait for Emperor Xianjia to speak, she scolded first, "This title was earned by your Ji family ancestors with a knife and a shot, and left to future generations, how can you be the master alone?" What's more, there are no outsiders here, and the mourning family will tell the truth: Zifu has always been casual, does not produce, and if he has no title, what do you tell him to eat and drink in the future? ! Is it difficult for the grandson of the mourning family to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation like the people of the market in the future? ! ”

The Queen Mother's most beloved grandson must be Jian Xubai, who she has personally raised, and even a few grandchildren may not be comparable. But this doesn't mean that she doesn't care about the other grandchildren at all - especially Ji Zifu is the only one among the queen mother's grandchildren who is idle and doesn't seek progress, such juniors will certainly disappoint the elders, but they will also make the elders worried.

So he refused without hesitation, "Besides, the matter of the country has just been told to the emperor that it is ......."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Emperor Xianjia, and Emperor Xianjia hurriedly smiled: "What the queen mother said is true." ”

Turning to Ji Weiguan, his tone was calm and alienated, "Brother-in-law don't worry, the little sister will still be the eldest princess in the future." ”

But Ji Weiguan, who was kneeling at the bottom, refused to get up, and after kowtowing, he said sincerely: "There is a way that a husband is a wife, and the eldest princess has had it, but the minister has failed to fulfill her husband's responsibilities and teach her!" Now that you want to be punished, you should naturally punish the ministers first, not the eldest princess! Although the queen mother and Her Majesty are generous, but the state has national laws and family rules, and the ancients also said that the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, let alone the courtiers? Please also ask the Queen Mother and Her Majesty to grant permission to go to the Lord of the Ji Clan, with the national legal person's favor! ”

Emperor Xianjia and the crown prince glanced at each other, and both looked at the queen mother cautiously: "What my brother-in-law said also makes sense......

"Your husband and wife are also about to become grandfathers and grandmothers." The Queen Mother didn't look at the emperor's father and son, but only looked at Ji Weiguan coldly, "But Zifu is not married yet, and he has always been an unrestrained person, after losing the title, what do you want him to do in the future?" ”

Ji Weiguan hurriedly said: "After returning to my mother, the ancestors of the Ji family will leave some inheritance, and the minister and the eldest princess will only have this one son under their knees, even if they are divided with him and his nephew Ming Fei in the future, I think that the two cousins will be enough to have no worries about food and clothing!" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What does the emperor think? When the Queen Mother heard this, she was silent for a long time before she asked astringently.

Emperor Xianjia carefully said: "Queen mother, son thinks ......"

Before he finished speaking, the Queen Mother suddenly looked at the prince again, "What do you think, prince?" ”

The prince was taken aback, and subconsciously said: "The grandson is only from the emperor's grandmother's order!" ”

"Hey!" The Queen Mother sneered when she heard this, closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she was already unfazed, "Since the two of you have no opinion, what else can the mourning family say?" ”

Under the Dan Qi, Ji Weiguan hurriedly kowtowed again: "The grace of the minister, the queen mother, Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

"The queen mother, what the son means is that the brother-in-law wants to be punished on behalf of his sister, but the son previously demoted the eldest princess to a princess, and when he comes to his brother-in-law, he will be demoted to an uncle." Emperor Xianjia waited for him to get up before he said to the Queen Mother, "There is no intention of cutting off the title of the Ji family - in the end, Zifu also wants to call his son 'uncle'." ”

Speaking of this, the corner of his eyes swept over the prince silently, slightly disappointed.

In fact, he originally planned to leave these words to the prince, but the prince's machine was really insufficient, so he didn't see it, seeing that the matter of the Ji family's reduction of the knight was about to become a foregone conclusion, the emperor could only say it himself.

Therefore, in addition to being disappointed in the prince, the emperor also felt very embarrassed when he looked at Ji Weiguan below: "The prince has no scheming like this, and only demotes the hereditary Fuyang Marquis of the Ji family to Fuyang Bo, and I don't know if it is enough?" ”

But if you really follow what Ji Weiguan wants, and simply remove the title of the Ji family - according to the earlier flamboyant style of the acting princess, I don't know how many people will fall into the well in the future!

After all, the honor of the emperor is closely related to the holy favor, and the emperor wants to demote the position of the eldest princess of the country, and she already belongs to the category of falling out of favor in the eyes of everyone. If the husband's family also falls, at this time, the woman's dependence, father, husband, and son, will not be unreliable? How can people look down on her like this?

His sister, who has never suffered much in her life, even if she is not tortured to death, she will be angry to death, right?

Think about the experience of hating the same enemy when you were a teenager, and then think about the time when you were seriously ill, if it weren't for her sister asking Ji Weiguan for help, she secretly sent herself out of the palace for diagnosis and treatment - the emperor sighed in his heart: The prince's performance in managing government affairs is very good, and he wants to come to the city because the situation has always been too superior.

- If the prince is really not angry, even if he is ruthless now, it will be useless to kill the Ji family for him.

After sending Ji Weiguan away, Emperor Xianjia saw that the queen mother's face was still ugly, thought for a while, and motioned for the prince to retire first, while he stayed: "My son has something I want to ask my mother!" ”

The Queen Mother said coldly: "The emperor has always had the most ideas, but how can he ask other people's opinions?" What's more, the old bones of the mourning family are just eating and waiting for death, what is there for you to ask? ”

"Queen Mother, this matter has something to do with the prince and his wife." Emperor Xianjia said softly, "The crown princess has given birth to Zhong Ling, the so-called rat trap, but the son doesn't know what to do?" After thinking about it, I can only ask the queen mother! ”

"The crown princess?" The Queen Mother frowned and snorted, "Isn't this the daughter-in-law you personally picked?" You've always said she's a good oneβ€”the mourners look good, why do you suddenly look at her unpleasantly? ”

Emperor Xianjia didn't care about the gun and stick in the queen mother's tone, and said with a smile: "My son chose her as his daughter-in-law earlier, and he saw that the Wei family's family background was still secondary, mainly because he heard that the Wei family was smart and clever. But this time, it's too smart! ”

After a pause, he said helplessly, "The prince was compared to her, but he was naΓ―ve and simple!" ”

"Isn't innocence what you like?" The Queen Mother sneered when she heard this, and said, "King Wei or King Zhao is sensible, but you don't even want to keep them under your knees, you have to go out - what?" This will change his mind again, and think that the prince is not good enough? ”

"Queen Mother!" Emperor Xianjia didn't say a word, he knelt down with his robe, and said in a deep voice, "King Wei and King Zhao are both sons' biological flesh and blood, King Zhao is still a son-in-law, and there are only a few children under his son's knees. It's really for their future, and for the sake of his future so that he won't be fratricidal in the future, so he has to do it as a last resort! ”

Speaking of this, the emperor's words brought out a little choked, "The queen mother is angry with her son now, and the son knows very well in his heart that in addition to feeling sorry for the little sister Daiguo, he actually feels that the prince's mental ability is not enough to be the prince!" The son does not deny this - if the son has another ten years, no, five years, no, even three years! If the son has another three years, the son will also consider Yi Chu and teach King Zhao carefully! ”

The Queen Mother was shocked when she heard this, and said in surprise: "You...... What do you say, ten years, five years, three years?! How old are you? Mourning ...... The mourning family is ...... old age ...... all."

"The queen mother's phoenix body is healthy, which is the blessing of the son." Emperor Xianjia knelt on the queen mother's lap and laughed softly, "But my son really can't hold on - otherwise he will never make such a decision this time!" ”

Seeing that the Queen Mother showed a look like nine thunderbolts, the emperor was not shocked, "My son's body was so corrupted back then, and the reason why he was able to ascend the throne was nothing more than to support it in one breath!" thought that he would not live long after ascending the throne, so he sent Gu Shao back to his hometown early! Who wants to be pitiful to see it, but the name 'Xianjia' has lasted for twenty years! ”

Speaking of this, he closed his eyes slightly and sighed softly - the majesty between his eyebrows is still there, but the exhaustion is also overwhelming!

The Queen Mother opened her mouth, tears flowed down her cheeks into her mouth, but she didn't notice it, and she trembled for a while before she said, "What are you listening to the imperial doctor's nonsense?!" Over the years, although you have often felt unwell, isn't it better to drag it out? What's more, the Son of Heaven has a noble status, what medicinal materials do you want? After 20 years of recuperation, what kind of chronic diseases can't be removed? You...... You ......"

The Queen Mother finally couldn't speak, and her trembling hands touched the top of the emperor's hair, and tears rained down!

"Among the five princes of my son, the King of Shu is the same age as Zhong Ling, and they are all still childish, so don't talk about him." Emperor Xianjia felt the temperature of the hot tears dripping down his cheeks, was silent for a while, and continued in a calm tone, "King Liang was raised by the Cui family, and he was originally raised by the idle prince, and he didn't show anything extraordinary. ”

"King Wei is the candidate for the little sister to plan to seize the prince, the queen mother should know that no matter how much her son loves the little sister, but after all, the society will be surnamed Lu!"

"In fact, the best qualification is King Zhao - this child is as open-minded and generous as the prince, but he has more momentum than the prince, but unfortunately, he was born too late!"

Emperor Xianjia lowered his head, unable to see the expression on his face clearly, but he could also feel his bitterness and embarrassment at the moment from his tone, "He is only thirteen years old this year, and his qualifications only represent potential, not his current strength!" There is not at least three years, and the son is really not sure, let him balance the court with his own strength after he ascends the throne! ”

- If King Zhao can't sit on the throne on his own, of course he can only rely on his mother's family.

Especially his relationship with the Su family has always been very good.

"If it's the other big clans, it's okay, the six valves in the sea...... How long have these six families been inherited? Dynasties have changed a few times, but they always stand! Emperor Xianjia choked up, "In the past, when he was in power, he was so domineering, that is, the former Yongke Examination had already appeared, and he was able to force Emperor Changtai to abolish the eldest son of the middle palace, and later married the second son of the Qingzhou Su family as the prince!" Such a family has a deep heritage, even if we are royal, we can't reach it! Therefore, the son will never dare to take risks - the son is afraid that if they are given a chance, they will revitalize the courtyard and regain the glory of the past! ”

And the brilliance of the valve reading means the concession of imperial power!

The Queen Mother didn't have the heart to think about these things at all - the Queen Mother loved the princess and Ji Zifu, but in the final analysis, what she hurt the most must be Emperor Xianjia!

After all, this is not only her only surviving son, but also the confidence that she was able to take revenge on Concubine Shentu and Mrs. Zhenyuan back then!

If there was no such son, the Queen Mother would not be able to live in this Mingren Palace at all!

The reason why Emperor Xianjia was forced to die for the eldest princess's family was because the Queen Mother didn't know the true situation of Emperor Xianjia, but the emperor had survived for so many years, and this time it must be the same. Then of course, the Queen Mother is even more distressed about her little daughter, who looks more pitiful!

Now that I heard that Emperor Xianjia's time was running out, the Queen Mother was in a big mess, and begged incoherently: "Don't say anything about the mourning family, as long as you are good...... Good boy, don't worry about it, okay? Hengzhu, you also said that the prince handled state affairs very well, so let him and the courtiers take care of the world, you are the same as before, take care of it, and it will always get better...... How could something happen to you? If you want to have three long and two short, what should you do if you are called a mourner? ”

The Queen Mother cried, "The mourning family is willing to die for you - what's the use of the mourning family living?" It was you who were related to the society...... Damn not dead, why not damn it...... Why ......"

"Don't say that, the queen mother." Emperor Xianjia wiped his face indiscriminately, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, raised his head to wipe the tears on his face for the Queen Mother, and whispered comfortingly, "Birth, old age, sickness and death are inevitable, and it is a great favor for God to arrange everything for his son before he dies - Queen Mother, you heard your son continue: The prince's qualifications are not as good as King Zhao, but he has an advantage, that is, he was raised by his son, and he is not particularly close to the ministers, even if it is his foreign family!" In addition, Gu Shao, who was left to him by his son, is also old, and there is no future in the family, so he can only be a pure minister! ”

The Queen Mother just cried, and she didn't hear what he was saying at all.

Emperor Xianjia sighed, and no longer explained why he had to choose the crown prince - simply put, he had no choice, only two of the five sons were really worthy of the prince, and the younger one was more talented, but it was taught by the queen and the Su family; The big one is a little worse, but it was brought out by himself.

So if you can only choose one, anyone will trust you more to bring it out, right?

He settled down and brought the topic back to what he wanted to say before, "The son originally thought that although the prince respected the princess, he was not spoiled, let alone obeyed, this is also what the son wants to see, in the end, the ancestors of the Wei family are similar to the Su family, and the son doesn't want his relatives to have power in this dynasty!" ”

"But in the turmoil this time, the Wei family is in decline-it's just that the crown princess hit by mistake and coaxed the prince into a daze! If she wasn't Zhong Ling's biological mother, it wouldn't be fine, but she was! ”

Emperor Xianjia smiled bitterly, "Leaving such a woman by the prince's side, and being favored and trusted by the prince, my son is really not at ease!" But let's get rid of her, my son is worried about Zhong Ling! ”

King Zhongling is the emperor's favorite grandchild at present, and his origin, performance, qualifications, and teachers make it impossible for Emperor Xianjia to give up easily.

And the emperor himself suffered the loss after his father's change of heart, the eldest son of the original concubine who was only eight years old, if he did not have the protection of his mother, how much loss he would suffer in the backyard, the emperor knew no more!
