When the Yanhou Mansion family had a warm dinner and enjoyed the joy of family, although the Wei Mansion had already arrived at the meal, no one had the intention of passing the meal in either the front hall or the backyard, including the female dependents.

"Now we can only choose Lu Hehao." When Wei Xi said this, his face was very ugly, "King Xiang and King Su are in a similar situation, both of them were personally succeeded by the first emperor, and if you support him, you can help King Su solve the biggest trouble!" ”

"What about the King of Shu?" His eldest son Wei Pi said a little unwillingly, "This evening, the Empress Dowager has approved our letter, agreeing to choose another heir for the eldest princess of Chen Guo, and not to pass the King of Shu out - although Concubine Xu is dead, but in the end, it is the concubine, and the Empress Dowager ordered a thick burial, and it is impossible to say that the funeral will be held immediately, and the spirit will be suspended for a few days." If you can hurry up and let the king of Shu ascend the throne during this period......"

At the beginning, the Empress Dowager agreed to let the King of Shu pass on to the eldest princess of Chen Guo, the purpose was to prevent the King of Shu from being dragged down by the battle for the throne.

And Mrs. Xu since. After that, the Wei family had already given up this plan, and the Empress Dowager naturally would not insist on this matter anymore - after all, Emperor Xianjia's heirs were not rich; Second, Concubine Xu is a biological flesh and blood of the King of Shu, she does not hesitate to risk her life for this son, if there is no need, or the King of Shu is passed out, this concubine is too pitiful.

Now Wei Pi feels, "That Lu Hehao has no extraordinary talent, even if there is no one in the royal family now, it is really difficult to convince the public to recommend him to the throne!" Oh, and he still has the reputation of abandoning his wife and children—where can he compare to King Su? ”

The most terrible thing is, "He also masterminded the murder of the eldest princess and his wife, the empress dowager hates him to death until now, if it weren't for the recent stormy meeting, but it was an extraordinary period, it is estimated that the empress dowager would not be able to spare him for the first time, let alone allow him to ascend the throne as the emperor?" ”

"Concubine Xu's funeral won't last long." But Wei Xi sighed, "Not to mention that the concubine's funeral has its own quota, just saying that it will be the descending ceremony of the eldest princess of Changxing in a few days, it is impossible to let Concubine Xu's coffin stay in the palace for too long, otherwise the two things collide together, and the frustration is overjoyed, we don't have to care about the opinions of the Su family and the eldest princess of Changxing, but don't forget who is the concubine of the eldest princess of Changxing this time?" ”

There was silence in the room.

The eldest princess of Changxing, He Qian, is the son of He Wenqiong, and although He Wenqiong has a gentle temperament, she is now an important person that neither the Weisu family dares to offend, and they still have to desperately win over!

If Weixi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, relied on the convenience of his position and let Concubine Xu be funeral at the descent ceremony of the eldest princess of Changxing, not to mention what the royal family and the world think, what should the He family think?

Will He Wenqiong think that this is the Wei family's dissatisfaction and threat to the He family?

Even if he didn't think so, how could the Su family let go of this great opportunity to sow discord?

Once He Wenqiong really completely falls to the Su family, he will only be powerless to return to the sky with no matter how many whimsical ideas he has!

"So the King of Shu is really useless?" Wei Pi sighed, showing a worried look, "But Lu Hehao ...... Father forgive the child to tell the truth: the child really can't see the reason why the ministers approve of his accession to the throne? ”

This man has no talent, no good reputation, no longevity, no inheritance, but the reasons for not appointing him are all ready-made: murdering the eldest brother, forcing his aunt and uncle to death, abandoning his wife and children, insidious and cunning, ruthless and unjust......

If Emperor Xianjia's heirs are all dead, and the clan does not have a particularly powerful existence, he will have a chance to choose a bargain.

But now, even if King Su has not solved the problem of succession, among the descendants under the name of Emperor Xianjia, there are still the crown prince and the king of Shu, why should he be the emperor?

To say something unpleasant, let Wei Pi choose, even if he doesn't consider the relationship between the prince and his nephew, he would rather set up the seriously injured prince than Lu Hehao!

Thinking of this, Wei Pi couldn't help but say again, "What about the prince?" Didn't Yan Hou say it in the court before? The first emperor has always been in poor health, so didn't he also ascend the throne as the emperor? ”

"Where can the prince's situation compare with the first emperor?" Wei Xi sighed with interest, "If I can make a prince, do you think I will be willing to worry about people who are not of our Wei family's bloodline?" ”

He explained a little tiredly, "Although it is true that the first emperor could not hide his poor health when he ascended the throne, you must know that the reason why the first emperor was so sick that it was difficult to return was precisely because when his position was not yet stable, he had been holding on and not calling anyone, especially His Majesty Emperor Huizong and the people who supported him saw that something was wrong!" ”

"Later, when everyone knew that the first emperor's illness was so serious that he might die at any time, the first emperor's climate had been completed, and Emperor Huizong had no way to abolish him!"

"And those who support the first emperor have either poured too much effort into the first emperor and can't stop there; Either they were designed by the first emperor and greatly offended the side of Concubine Shentu and Mrs. Zhenyuan, causing them to suffer humiliation in order not to fall into the hands of those two, and they had to follow the first emperor all the way to the dark! ”

Speaking of this, Wei Xi's eyes showed a trace of regret and regret, and he sighed, "The most important thing is that His Majesty was already born at that time!" ”

"Although His Majesty was still in infancy at that time, His Majesty has always been strong, which greatly reassures the hearts of those who support the first emperor!"

"After all, as long as the first emperor lasts until Emperor Huizong dies, even after Emperor Huizong dies, the first emperor will immediately disappear - and Your Majesty!"

"The prince suffers a loss because he is three or five years old, and he has not yet married and has no heirs!"

"If the crown prince has a son now, he doesn't need to be a son-in-law, even if it is from the palace maid - we also have a reason to nominate him to the throne!"

Wei Xi smiled bitterly, "But the prince has no children!" How can everyone not worry that once the crown prince dies before the birth of an heir, the royal family will start a battle for the throne again?! ”

This kind of risk that one carelessly will cause a tragedy for the whole family, no matter how high the interests of standing on the right team are, no one wants to meet at two ends in three days.

After all, most people don't like to live a life of life every day.

Wei Pi was silent again for a long time before he said astringently: "But Lu Hehao is really useless compared to King Su, except for a little bit of fame!" ”

"But King Su was personally succeeded by the first emperor, how difficult is it to solve this problem?" Wei Xi stroked his long beard and said, "And Lu Hehao also has an advantage in abandoning his wife and children, that is, he is free in his backyard now, and he can use this as an article, and some families should be interested in the descendants." ”

"It's not just the descendants." After knowing that he had no choice, Wei Pi pinched the corners of his forehead, beat his spirit, and began to think about how to increase Lu Hehao's chances of winning, "Although the queen of the family is glorious, the actual benefits may not be much. The key is whether the queen mother can be released - so that Lu Hehao can be helped by three or two families! ”

"Three or two at most." Wei Xi bowed slightly, if there were too many words, Lu Hehao was not a good baby, and he would rely on the harem to get rid of the control of the Wei family, and even pit the Wei family in turn.

The most important thing is that, as Concubine Xu worried before her death, if the current crown prince has a child in the future, if this child is not short-lived.

Then the Wei family must hope that this child who is related to them will replace Lu Hehao.

So even if they urgently need allies now, it is impossible for Lu Hehao to grow too strong - the Wei family doesn't want to make wedding clothes for others.

After discussing it like this, the father and son returned to the back hall and asked the servants to bring the meal that had been heated several times.

After dinner, Empress Wei's secret envoy knocked on the corner door of the Wei Mansion and brought a message from the queen - the Wei family plans to support Lu Hehao to ascend the throne, of course, it is impossible to just close the door and discuss from home, and he must also talk to Lu Hehao.

And Lu Hehao was originally plotting for the throne, so he naturally couldn't ask for this opportunity now.

But he made an additional request: he wanted at least one Wei clan girl in his future harem.

"The queen said that Lu Hehao, a concubine, has no other requirements for this clan girl, but it must be of Wei blood, not a recognized righteous daughter." The envoy said, "The queen thinks she can promise him. ”

"Since Niang Niang said so, then let's do it!" Wei Xi briefly thought about it and agreed, "But it's not appropriate to mention this matter at the moment, we have to wait for the overall situation to be decided before we can fulfill it." ”

Although the Fengzhou Wei clan has declined a lot compared to its ancestors, there are still a lot of clansmen.

There are always a few clan girls who are not favored and not valued among so many people, who are not willing to be mediocre for a lifetime, and would rather enter the palace to be chess pieces.

Wei Xi understood why Lu Hehao made this request, it was nothing more than hoping to have an heir with the Wei clan's blood, so as to weaken the possibility that the Wei family would replace him with the prince's son in the future.

After all, although Empress Wei is Wei Xi's biological daughter, the relationship between the queen and the Wei family is not particularly affectionate - Empress Wei is not the kind of person who is willing to let her mother's family use her own flesh and blood as a puppet - such a queen is a good mother for the prince, but for the Wei family, it is not pleasant.

Lu Hehao used this hand to avoid throwing himself away when he ran out, although the hope is not very great, but the world is unpredictable, maybe he can escape with this?

Of course, for both of them, the most important thing at the moment is to snatch the throne first - so for Lu Hehao's calculations that obviously can't trust the Wei family, neither Empress Wei nor Wei Xi cares.

"Let's take a look at the situation tomorrow!" Wei Xi said to Wei Pi half comforting and half expecting, "Even if Lu Hehao's reputation is not as good as that of King Su, who was carefully cultivated by the Su family, he is insidious and cunning, at least he is not as stupid as His Majesty to turn the good situation into nothing!" ”

The Wei family's mood tonight is destined to be heavy, but in fact, the atmosphere of the Su family's conversation now is not relaxed and happy.
