127 My fair and wicked daughter, the prince is good
There are many people in the palace who have insiders, and the dialogue between Bai Changshan and the emperor reached the ears of several princes that afternoon, and everyone was in a somewhat complicated mood, among which the eldest prince and the second prince were the most remorseful and annoyed - I knew this earlier, and when Bai Poria was still on the list of candidates for the princess, I should have made the first move.
is not only a peerless beauty, but also the only granddaughter of Bai Changshan, the second assistant of the cabinet, the most beloved sister of Zhenbei General Lu Ying, and the cousin of Zhongguo Gong, the three identities together, which is enough to be equated with the crown princess.
However, looking at the emperor's meaning, it seems that he did not intend to point her to any prince as a concubine from beginning to end, otherwise she would not have crossed her name from the list of princesses and concubines because of a few words from Princess Antai.
The eldest prince was furious, called Cui Zhenyi's brother to the mansion, and did not meet him in person, but only sent his staff to abuse him for a while. The content is mainly to accuse him of being useless, his sister-in-law can't handle it, and people who have close fathers, mothers, and sisters don't know, and they marry their sisters to the Lu family in vain, but Lu Ying doesn't take the Cui family in his eyes completely, and he doesn't even take the eldest prince to heart.
Brother Cui was scolded very depressed, a dignified six-grade head of the military department, and was pointed at his nose and scolded by several unqualified staff members of the Prince's Mansion, not only did he not dare to refute, but he also had to make amends. When I went out and went home, I couldn't help but put this account on my sister Cui Zhenyi and brother-in-law Lu Ying.
Lu Ying couldn't afford to provoke him, so he only sent his wife to the General's Mansion to ridicule Cui Zhenyi fiercely.
The eldest prince was a little relieved, and went into the palace to discuss with his mother Mao Guifei.
Concubine Mao Guifei instructed her cronies to guard the door, and retired the palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting, and listened to the eldest prince say angrily: "I can see it, my father never planned to establish a prince from beginning to end, and I have watched me fight to the death with the second child for so many years, I don't know what kind of heart I have!" ”
Concubine Mao was also very annoyed: "If there was no Mao family in the beginning, where would it be his turn to sit on the throne, he would be good, and when he became the emperor, he actually set up the Xia clan as a slut, and pressed me everywhere." Nothing else, if this throne is also passed to the son of the Xia family's slut, will my Mao family still have a way to live? I can't see if I'm dead! ”
The eldest prince walked back and forth a few times like a trapped beast, and said with a calm face: "Father, this is the intention to force the Mao family to fight with the Xia family, so as to take the opportunity to cut power, maybe I will fight with the second child to the end, and the throne will be cheaper than others." ”
They had been suspecting this for a long time, but they knew that it was a trap, but they still had to jump, it was too tempting.
And after so many years, the Xia family and the Mao family have long ceased to be the original sincere cooperation and shared weal and woe, it should be said that since the emperor ascended the throne, the two families have become completely opposite parties because of their respective interests, even if they want to shake hands and make peace, they can no longer trust each other.
On the issue of the posterior, the two sides completely tore their faces and attacked each other for the first time, and finally the Xia clan got the backseat by virtue of the fact that they were pregnant with the dragonborn first.
Every time Concubine Mao thought of this, she was angry, she was diagnosed with pregnancy, but it was two months later than Xia's, and she missed the queen's throne because of this. Fortunately, in the end, Xia's child failed to give birth safely and died at four months, otherwise the throne would not be able to fight at all.
This has also become one of the important reasons for the resentment between the Xia family and the Mao family, everyone in the Xia family believes that the miscarriage of the fetus in the queen's womb is the hands and feet of the Mao family, in fact, the Mao family has benefited the most - the son of Mao Guifei has become the eldest son of the emperor, although the queen soon conceived again and gave birth to a son, but has become the second prince.
The emperor's various actions over the years, the Xia family and the Mao family are not unaware, but they have fallen into a quagmire and can no longer coexist peacefully, and there can only be one prince, which is related to the current interests and power of the two families and the future life and death.
Mao Guifei listened to her son's words, gritted her teeth and thought about it: "I have never seen him get close to your son other than you and the second child...... Could it be that he just doesn't want to delegate power? ”
The eldest prince said hatefully: "Yes, I don't want to give up power...... Hum! My father is only over fifty, and he lingers in the harem every day, and his health is good, how long will he wait for him to give way? ! Decade? Twenty years? I fight with my second child like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for that day! Uncle is right, we have to strike first! ”
"What do you want to do?" Mao Guifei asked.
In the candlelight, the eldest prince's expression was uncertain, fierce and crazy, and he slowly raised his palm and made a killing posture.
On the other side, the second prince is also very entangled, but he thinks more simply, he now just wants to get Bai Poria wholeheartedly, as long as he has her, he is not afraid that Bai Changshan's old man who does not eat hard and soft and does not eat oil and salt will not give in, plus Lu Ying, the current first general of Qi State and the general of Zhenbei, also has to be obediently under his command.
Controlling Lu Ying is equivalent to controlling more than half of the Royal Forest Army. Coupled with Zhongguo Gong, he has the support of three princes and one prince, and then let Lu Ying control the situation in the capital, and ask the princes and princes to jointly promote the new emperor, and the throne is not in his bag? How can the boss still fight him?
Thinking of his yellow robe and the proud scenery of being a treasure, thinking of Bai Poria's surprisingly beautiful little face, and thinking of the beautiful scenery of the beauty in his arms, the second prince only felt feverish, and he couldn't wait to marry her into the door immediately.
But my father had a hard time......
To this day, he also knew that his father had no intention of making him the crown prince, let alone making a clear statement on this issue, so it was impossible to point out Bai Poria to him or the boss, and he had to find another way.
The simplest thing is to cook raw rice and mature rice, as long as he makes Bai Poria have to marry her, then other things will naturally be easy to do, it doesn't matter if his father doesn't agree, and when he ascends the throne and then canonizes Bai Poria Cocos, he must be able to explain the past to Bai Changshan and Lu Ying.
This matter is carried out in private, which is more advantageous than openly accepting Bai Poria as a concubine now.
The more the second prince thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, and summoned his cronies to start thinking about how to get the beauty first.
From the different coping strategies of the eldest prince and the second prince, it can be clearly seen that the difference in the background of the two mothers, one is a family of military generals, and they just want to kill people and seize power and force the palace quickly, and the other is a civil official family, thinking about twists and turns, thinking about winning over the princes of the pro-kingdom to go through the procedures and promote them to the throne as emperors, and in the future, they can also render themselves a generation of holy lords who are expected to return.
When Yang Heng knew the news, he was discussing with Lie Dang in the study where it was more appropriate and inconspicuous to place people, when he suddenly heard the secret report sent by the spies, and couldn't help but be stunned.
"I really didn't expect ......," Liedang said with a wry smile. Who would have thought that a few months ago, the daughter of a border city merchant from a humble background would become the daughter of a famous family with the highest value and status in the Qi Kingdom?
At that time, he felt that it was a bit reluctant to be a concubine for his master, but now the eldest prince and the second prince tried every possible way to marry but could not get it, even if the rest of the princes married her, they could also get the strength to compete with the eldest prince and the second prince for the crown prince.
Such a woman who represents the power of one step to the sky, and also has a dusty beauty that is envied by women in the world and admired by men, who can not be tempted?
The value of the woman he likes suddenly skyrocketed, and Yang Heng said that he was under a lot of pressure!
Originally, this little girl was already very difficult to handle, but now there are so many big backers, and it is even more difficult to get her. From the bottom of his heart, he would rather Bai Poria be just the daughter of an ordinary businessman, so that his path to pursuing beauty will be much less difficult and difficult.
Lie Dang cautiously looked at his expression, and said tentatively: "Your Highness has any plans for Miss Bai?" ”
Yang Heng shook his head and said, "It's a big deal, she's still young, and she'll ...... in the future." Let's talk about it. ”
When he saw Bai Poria's name on the list of candidates for the imperial concubine, there was a moment when he hoped that she would become his concubine, but he also knew that this little woman would not be so easy to be manipulated, she disdained and even hated sharing a husband with other women from beginning to end, let alone marrying into the royal family and becoming one of the many women of a man, even if this was one of the most noble ones, even if this man would be the supreme emperor.
Things have developed so far, even if he has the heart to fight for it, his father will not marry Bai Poria to any of their brothers.
From the moment he was vaguely aware of his father's intentions, he knew that his father would not let his heir repeat the mistakes of the past and continue to let his relatives suppress the Yang family's imperial power.
My father spent most of his life trying to remove the authority of the Xia family and the Mao family, how could he let another foreign relative, the Bai family, sit on the throne? Moreover, after the fall of the Xia clan and the Mao clan, Bai Changshan's power will be unbalanced, no matter how loyal he is now, who can guarantee that he or his descendants will not have other ideas in the future?
In the past, Bai Changshan had no children, no daughters, and no relatives to back him, but now, he has an eldest son, Bai Chou, and it is very likely that in the near future, Bai Chou and his wife will give birth to other children, and most importantly, Lu Ying is their adopted son!
The Emperor needs the loyalty of his subordinates, but he is not happy to see a few loyal subordinates too close.
In addition to his father's wishes and the consideration of the overall situation, he was not willing to marry Bai Poria at this time.
He has his pride, if the other party is just an ordinary daughter of a family, he doesn't mind trying to marry her back for the sake of reality, as long as it helps his great cause.
But it was Bai Poria, the only woman who made his heart move, and he was unwilling to marry her for such a reason, which was a blasphemy against her and an insult to him. This idea may be ridiculous and unrealistic, but he still insists on it.
Wait for a later date...... When he becomes the crown prince and the emperor in the future, he will do everything he can to keep the little woman by his side.
Fortunately, she is still young, and he should have enough time to complete the tasks he has to do one by one.
The premise is that she will not be preempted by other men......
