He Wenqiong, who Empress Wei was worried about, had just sent Wei Xi away at the moment.

After returning to the study, he summoned several sons to discuss the matter together - in front of his sons, He Wenqiong no longer concealed the tiredness in his heart, and sighed while drinking ginseng tea to refresh himself: "There will be no one now, you all tell us your opinions!" ”

"The child thinks that the name of the second minister is not very good, since the father beat the former emperor, he is on the side of today, and now he should naturally continue to support His Royal Highness the Prince!" After being silent in the study for a while, the eldest son, He Zhi, spoke first, "After all, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was assassinated, the imperial doctor also said that he may not be able to save it!" ”

"Even if ...... The child thinks that the queen mother and Wei Shangshu must also have a countermeasure! ”

There must be a countermeasure for this, which naturally alludes to the fact that the Wei family will support Lu Hehao or the King of Shu to ascend the throne - in the conversation between Wei Xi and He Wenqiong, this point has been clearly hinted at, although He Zhi was not present at the time, but the Wei family's choice can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.

"The child thinks what the eldest brother said is very true!" He Xin, the second son of the He family, and He Yi, the third son, glanced at each other and said in unison.

Only the fourth son, He Qian, said lightly: "The child thinks that although the eldest brother's proposal is a serious remark, it is not very in line with the current situation!" ”

The relationship between the brothers of the He family is still okay, so He Zhi didn't get angry when he heard this, but was a little surprised: "Why did the fourth brother say this?" ”

"Because as early as when His Majesty proposed to abdicate, the Wei family tried to support the crown prince to ascend the throne." He Qian said, "However, it didn't work out - the prince was still good at that time!" Now the prince has not only been assassinated, but even seriously injured! In this way, even if our He family continues to support him, what will the other ministers think? ”

"Even if the Wei family realizes this, they retreat to the second best thing and support the King of Shu or Lu Hehao to ascend the throne, but-Queen Wei is only the eldest sister-in-law of these two, the Queen Mother, but she is the mother-in-law of these two!"

"Among these two, Lu Hehao has a cunning and cold temperament, and we have seen it clearly these days!"

"If he ascends the throne, will he follow the will of the Wei family, exterminate the Su family, and avenge the crown prince?"

"In the opinion of the foolish brother, he will definitely not do this!"

"On the contrary, Wei Su will be left in the court at the same time, so that he can check and balance it, get rid of the fate of the puppet, and hold the power himself!"

"At that time, let's follow the Wei family, what good can we do?"

"As for saying that His Royal Highness the King of Shu is young and ignorant, but his biological mother, Concubine Xu, is also alive, how can he not plan for him?"

"The relationship between Concubine Xu and the Empress Dowager Cui is just mediocre, but she has always been close to the Empress Dowager in her early years - and if there is no Su family to balance the Wei family, the King of Shu will not be able to escape the fate of being set aside! Concubine Xu has been a concubine for the first emperor for so many years, how could she not understand this? ”

"Even if she really doesn't understand, won't the Queen Mother remind her?"

He Qian said this and concluded, "So the Wei family is already at a disadvantage right now, even if it doesn't fall through, it may not be able to gain the upper hand in the future!" In this way, why don't we simply surrender to the Su family and escort King Su into the imperial capital, so as to make a contribution? ”

"Fourth brother, shouldn't you suggest this because of your marriage to Her Royal Highness Princess Changxing?" When his second brother He Xin heard this, he raised his eyebrows, half joking and half tentatively, "Now that the military power near the imperial capital is in the hands of our father, the reason why the Wei family has not touched the Su family until now is nothing more than because of the lack of righteousness!" ”

"Once the new monarch ascends the throne, whether it is Lu Hehao or the king of Shu, the Wei family can immediately eradicate the Su family under the guise of the new monarch!"

"At that time, the Queen Mother will be a deep palace maid, how can she be able to turn the tide?"

"Just come up with a reason to die violently - if the Su family supports King Su to raise troops, it will be a rebellion!"

"If the Su family is sure that the rebellion will succeed, why should they endure it until today?"

"If this is the new monarch and the others are brought out by our family, can they still treat us badly?"

"The second brother said he was laughing!" He Qian frowned when he heard this, and said, "How arrogant the royal princess is! Her Royal Highness Princess Changxing's reckless behavior in the early years is not unknown to our family! If King Su ascends the throne, Princess Changxing is his sister, and the degree of gold and jade can be imagined! How dare I, as a colt, despise her? However, the crown prince or other princes inherit the throne, and they will not treat the eldest princess of Changxing as well as King Su, so the eldest princess can't stand up, so it is the blessing of my concubine, right? ”

He Xin was a little embarrassed: "It's because my brother lost his words, and I hope that the fourth brother won't be surprised!" ”

The marriage between He Qian and the eldest princess of Changxing was a purely political marriage, mainly because Emperor Duanhua wanted to break the rumors and dispel those who said that he planned to follow Emperor Xianjia's example to eradicate his half-brothers and sisters, so he chose He Qian for the eldest princess of Changxing - this marriage was actually for He Wenqiong, the identity of Emperor Duanhua's descendant, and among He Wenqiong's sons, only He Qian was unmarried at that time, so he couldn't hide, it had to be him.

In fact, a family like the He family has neither a lack of wealth nor power, and generally speaking, the desire for the lord is not high.

Especially He Qian himself is not a talented person, relying on his own ability and the support of his father and brother, he is not without hope of getting ahead in the court and making a career.

Everyone naturally felt that there was no need for him to get an ancestor to wait at home, and he had to wear a green hat if he accidentally - although He Qian didn't say anything wronged now, the dissatisfaction with this marriage was revealed in his tone, which still made He Xin feel a little sorry.

"Second brother doesn't have to be like this." He Qian shook his head, looked at He Wenqiong, and brought his words back to the point, "Of course, the matter is big, and my father has to get the idea!" ”

When the four sons of the He family heard this, they all looked at the main seat - but after He Wenqiong stroked his beard and pondered for a while, he was noncommittal: "What you said makes sense, let me think about it too!" ”

Seeing this, the fourth son hurriedly bowed and retired.

The four brothers, except for He Qian, who is a little younger and has been busy with Princess Shang recently, the others have already entered the office, and they can't be idle when they go out at the moment, so they say hello and disperse.

And He Qian left the eyes of his father and brother, and his originally calm face was suddenly dyed with a touch of sadness, and he sighed secretly: "I don't know if my father will choose King Su?" ”

In fact, He Xin was right just now, the reason why he suggested that the He family choose King Su was selfish.

The reason is that he told his family yesterday that he was going out to visit a friend - this is true, but after arriving at a friend's house, he didn't see his friend, but Su Shaoge, who was in Weifu, was waiting in the main hall.

Su Shaoge didn't talk nonsense with him, and said straightforwardly: "The fact that you have a marriage contract with Changxing has already been made public!" So no matter who the new gentleman is, this marriage will continue after all! ”

"If someone other than King Su ascends the throne, although Changxing will not dare to be rude to you because he does not have the support of the new king, this is not a good thing for your future!"

"You are only the fourth son of the He family, and the three brothers above you are not weaker than you!"

"According to the order of the eldest and youngest, Ling Zun's support for the children, the first choice is your eldest brother He Zhi, who comes to you in turn, how many more?"

"If Ling Zun earns the title in the future, it has nothing to do with you!"

"What's more, your brothers are all married to the right people, if Changxing loses power, you will also lose the support of your wife's family!"

"In this way, you, the young son, will not be able to turn over for the rest of your life, and can only listen to the training in front of your father and brothers, rely on their shadow, listen to their teachings, and obey their will!"

"Of course, you can also speculate that if the new monarch is not King Su, Changxing may die violently!"

"Then you may, like your brothers, marry the right lady—but again, you are not the firstborn! Ling Zun can't give priority to supporting you, and your wife may not have only one daughter, and they won't give you all the support either! ”

"And if the new monarch is King Su, King Su only has a sister from a fellow brother in Changxing, and their sister and brother have always had a good relationship, how can they treat her badly?"

"How can King Su not reuse you at that time?"

"Changxing used to be a little pampered and willful, but after a few blows, she has heard of the changes in the past two years, both inside and outside, but she is quiet and sensible!"

"And I can tell you something inside: in the early years, Changxing had to descend to Yanhou, in the final analysis, because he took a fancy to Yanhou's status in front of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, and in order to pave the way for King Su, he had to do it! So after Yan Hou and Grandma Song got married, she turned to Jian Yiyu - otherwise Changxing is full of golden branches and jade leaves, as for asking for a courtier, she can't do it? My aunt would never have taught such a self-willed daughter! ”

"So you don't have to worry that Changxing will never forget Yanhou's old feelings and make any moves to shame you in the future, because she has never been interested in Yanhou from the beginning!"

"Now that she is getting older, she is very much looking forward to being able to get along with her husband and wife and see her children as soon as possible."

"I can't guarantee that Changxing is a good wife who meets your requirements, but I can guarantee that this is an opportunity for you to soar!"

"You can think about the grace of Yan Hou when he was the first emperor - the queen mother Weisu Wang and Changxing's two biological flesh and blood, and now they are lonely under their knees, and in the future, you and Changxing's children will be brought up in the palace, and the grace will surpass that of Yan Hou, and the official will be added to the knighthood, no problem!"

He Qian was persuaded without thinking about half a pillar of incense.

Because as Su Shaoge said, the crown prince, Lu Hehao, the king of Shu and even the king of Xiang, any of the three ascended the throne, maybe the entire He family will continue to be reused, but the benefits shared by He Qian's personal head are pitiful, and can even be said to be almost none.

But if it is King Su who ascends the throne, then even if the arrogance of the eldest princess of Changxing returns...... He Qian can still be reused because of the horse!

And to say something unpleasant, can't he hide if he can't be provoked?

It's a big deal to apply for release to save qualifications, and after taking office, a few beautiful concubines who know cold and hot are relaxed!

He didn't believe that an arrogant eldest princess would be willing to give up the prosperity of the imperial capital and follow him to endure hardships!

What's more, after the two have children, the eldest princess will be more or less restrained - Jian Likuang's failure to be a father is more special for the sake of the son, after all, he is not the original match of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, before descending to him, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom has already become a parent twice and has two children!

Moreover, Jian Likuang's life experience also disliked the royal family, which was an important reason why he was abandoned by the royal family and fell out of favor with the eldest princess.

But although the eldest princess of Changxing has also married once, she has never given birth, as Su Shaoge said, for the Empress Dowager Su who has only given birth to a son and a daughter, and currently has no biological bloodline Chenghuan, if she can take her grandson to her knees to raise, she will definitely be pampered.

When the time comes, there will be a child as a run. Slip and buffer, whether it is royal or Changxing, it is impossible to treat He Qian like the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom treats Jian Likuang, right?

The most important thing is - as Su Shaoge said, if he missed this opportunity to hug Xinjun's thigh, he couldn't find a second time at all!

After all, if the new monarch is not the king of Su, the opportunity to make great contributions to the new monarch's ascension to the throne must belong to his own father, not him!

Between a virtuous and gentle wife and a prosperous future, He Qian chose the latter as Su Shaoge expected: he is still young, full of ambition and fighting spirit, and the expectations of marriage cannot be said to be absent, but they are far less than the expectations of his career.

Although He Wenqiong's official position is not low, he still has no title, and he is a step away from the real high-ranking family.

According to Da Rui's situation in recent years, it is very difficult to obtain a knighthood, and his reputation is as lofty as Gu Shao, and he was only promised a knighthood in the future, and he didn't say anything about the level of the title.

It is easier to get the title of the prince, either the children of the clan, or the relatives of the emperor - for this opportunity, no, it should be said that the opportunity, He Qian felt that he was willing to suffer a little loss in marriage.

…… Of course, the main reason why He Qian did this is because it has been three days since the assassination of the prince, and there is still no news from the East Palace that the prince is out of danger!

In this way, I am afraid that even if the crown prince survives in the end, it is estimated that it will be the result of a great loss of vitality - and unless the courtiers have no choice, normal people will not support a sick or even short-lived person to be the emperor.

After all, no one wants a national funeral in three days.

As for the two candidates, Lu Hehao and King Shu, they both have very obvious shortcomings that are not suitable for being emperors, and He Qian is not very optimistic about them.

"Daddy has always been on the prince's side before, if it weren't for the wavering in his heart at this moment, I guess he wouldn't have called us over to ask!" He Qian thought all the way, and when he was about to reach his yard, he suddenly thought of this, and his heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and he secretly thought with anticipation, "But I hope that Daddy can make a quick decision!" ”

But He Wenqiong in the study failed to do what he wanted - it wasn't until the middle of the night that He Wenqiong thought of a compromise solution: he decided to secretly let King Su enter the imperial capital!

However, he will not explicitly support King Su's accession to the throne.

Therefore, it will only be in the way of "missing" or "scheming", so that King Su can appear in the court peacefully.

After that, he doesn't care about it - let Wei Su fight to the death!
