Chapter 196: The Emperor and the Queen

When Zhuo Zhaojie was suspicious of this question, Empress Chunyu was also discussing with Emperor Xianping: "Looking at Jiulang's appearance, I have a clear conscience, according to my understanding of Xiao Shilang and Jia Lang, I won't do such a thing, who will do Xiao Saburo's accident this time?" ”

"This kid keeps saying that he doesn't know what to say, but since he is still calm, I'm afraid that Ji Lang has already found out the truth, but he doesn't want to say it." Like Empress Chunyu, when he heard the news of the death of the king of Yanchang, Emperor Xianping was also shocked and angry! But after the anger, he immediately regained his composure, as Ning Shaobi said, for Emperor Xianping and Empress Chunyu, they were first the emperor and queen of Da Liang, and then Tang Yuan's grandfather and grandmother.

And Tang Yuan is still a grandchild they don't like, where can he compare with Sheji?

After Emperor Xianping was angry, he began to notice the matter itself, and he really didn't feel too sad - Hengzhi was a grandson, not a son. There are intergenerational relatives, but most of them were raised by themselves. Queen Chunyu looked down on Lu Ji, Tang Yuan was not treated by the queen very much when he was a child, and it was even difficult to see the emperor, compared to the king of Zhending County, who often 'showed' his face in front of the emperor, although Emperor Xianping had a slightly lighter bad feeling for Tang Yuan, but it was not to the point of grief after learning of his death.

Now Emperor Xianping and Empress Chunyu are both having a headache about one thing: "The identity of Ji Lang, this Da Liang can make him so jealous that he doesn't dare to let Jiu Lang say the murderer...... This thing ......"

The Western Regions are far away from Chang'an, and the queen also speculated that the Marquis of Yongcheng or the King of Zhending County would not easily attack Tang Yuan. But now that I think about it, if the Marquis of Yongcheng finds out the truth but refuses to tell his son, he would rather endure the emperor's anger until he personally tells him - this is the key, if it is not for the dispute between the grandsons and grandchildren, it would be strange! Although the Marquis of Yongcheng will not touch Tang Yuan's 'life' if he is reasonable, the Marquis of Yongcheng may not be able to protect Tang Yuan through the wind and rain - besides, this time the Marquis of Yongcheng himself was seriously injured and almost couldn't come back alive?

If this is the case, it will be a big problem.

The emperor has supported the king of Zhending for several years, according to the emperor's current age and 'fine' strength, it is really not easy to change the emperor's grandson. In this case, the emperor and queen are 10,000 reluctant to hear that Zhending is plotting to kill his brother, and even as long as Zhending does not leave a definite handle, the emperor does not say anything, and he has to deal with the aftermath for him in private.

The problem is that the emperor is willing to forgive Zhending, but the crown prince will not. How to deal with the relationship between this son and grandson...... Even Emperor Xianping felt a headache: "Jia Lang refused to say it in advance, one is afraid that we will be angry when we hear it, and the other is afraid that the rumors of 'dew' will not be good for him." Anyway, Xiao Saburo died in the Western Regions, and for the sake of my Da Liang's decency, I can't help but get to the bottom of it. ”

"In any case, this crime can't fall on Koshiro!" Empress Chunyu was silent for a moment, gritting her teeth.

Emperor Xianping frowned and said, "If he is really confused......

"Da Lang has such two sons under his knees now, so can Zhen Nu succeed?" The queen asked rhetorically, the king of Zhending County was supported by the queen single-handedly, and even the attitude of Emperor Xianping was greatly affected by the queen, and Queen Chunyu had a lot of feelings for this grandson who had spent a lot of effort on his own 'flower', in addition, the queen's support for the king of Zhending County has always been almost public, if the king of Zhending County was determined to be a brother killer from a generation of virtuous kings and grandsons, that would be tantamount to a complete denial of Queen Chunyu's eyesight, and also a denial of the queen's hard work.

This is intolerable for the queen, who has been in politics for many years and is too late.

To put it simply, the queen can't afford to lose this face.

Although Emperor Xianping has a deeper affection for Tang Yuan - in the end, he is the eldest son and eldest grandson, but when he was asked by the queen, he was a little speechless, and a bit of dissatisfaction with the prince welled up in his heart: if it weren't for the prince's favor for Lu Ji, he would not want to say the 'daughter' next to him except her, if it weren't for the queen's threat to take the position of prince, even the king of Zhending County would not have been born! The biological mother of the county lord was forced by the prince to be killed by Midorihime because of an accidental 'serving' bed......

Although Emperor Xianping was more thorough than the crown prince, and he didn't even have concubines, Emperor Xianping didn't think that he was afraid of the queen, or that the queen interfered with his canonization of concubines because of her pampering, and Emperor Xianping felt that he did not set up concubines out of the feelings of sharing hardships with the queen.

Regardless of whether this kind of thinking is due to the clever means of Empress Chunyu or the fact, anyway, Emperor Xianping thinks so. Therefore, Emperor Xianping was very disgusted with Lu Ji, and the sage always felt that this 'woman' was too arrogant.

There are three sons and two 'daughters' under the emperor's knees, although the prince is also three sons and one 'daughter', on the surface, it seems that there is only one less 'daughter' than the emperor. However, not to mention the closeness of the sons and daughters to their parents and the proportion of their concubines, let's just say that the talents and conduct of the sons and daughters - not counting the pampering of Midori Ji and the partiality of the concubines, the prince himself is a qualified prince.

The other two princes, the King of Jin are filial and humble, helping the prince everywhere, and no one in the government and the opposition can say a word to this virtuous king; King Guang is younger, talented and mediocre, but he is not a troublemaker, and he can still get along with Xian after all.

The two princesses have a stronger temperament, but they have never been impeached by the court.

Looking at the prince's knees again, although Tang Yuan is still a little talented, his identity makes the emperor think that his heart is too big; The king of Zhending County is liked and satisfied by the emperor and queen; But Tang Cheng ......

At the mention of this grandson, the emperor couldn't be happy. This grandson is so embarrassed that he has caught all the dirty pickles! If it weren't for the notoriety of staying and killing his descendants, the emperor and queen sometimes wished that he would die! Especially Emperor Xianping, who was extremely disgusted with men.

Therefore, although the prince has three sons, in the eyes of the emperor, he is actually sure that the king of the county can be used. As for the 'girl', the only lord of Dingcheng saw the prince like a mouse saw a cat...... The emperor and queen thought in their hearts that if the county lord of Dingcheng was not raised by the crown princess, he would definitely have no benefit!

With such a withered heir, the candidate for the grandson has no choice at all. Not to mention the Empress Chunyu, Emperor Xianping also decided not to allow his painstaking management of the country like a splendid 'flower' array to fall into the hands of a descendant like Tang Cheng - isn't this too long for the Great Liang Guozuo?!

But the prince's preference for Tang Yuan and the hope he pinned on him, the emperor and queen also knew it in his heart......

"If you don't pick up Xiao Shilang, if Da Lang is confused...... Empress Chunyu saw that Emperor Xianping was silent, and reminded, "You can't replace the prince and grandson, right?" ”

These words surprised Emperor Xianping!

In fact, according to the prince's partiality in recent years, the emperor and queen have not been bothered by this eldest son. The problem is that the prince is the most important foundation of the country, and as a qualified king, he should not be abolished arbitrarily according to his preference. Since Tang Ang has been established, except for the eccentric Green Ji and the concubine, there are no major problems in other places for the prince...... The most important thing is that Emperor Xianping and Empress Chunyu are both old.

The old kings like to be stable, and they don't want to make a big move if they don't have a big deal.

Emperor Xianping and Empress Chunyu both thought so-at this moment, they found that it was difficult to get along between the eldest son and the grandson, and it was really difficult to take this step out of the discussion.

This is also clear to the queen, and she said it just to achieve her own goals. Sure enough, Emperor Xianping thought for a long time and sighed: "How can this be done?" Indeed, Xiao Shiro has to be protected, so he will send someone to the Western Regions to greet him...... Let's get the truth out first, and then we'll see what to do. ”

"The upward side must also be 'handed over'." Empress Chunyu got the words of Emperor Xianping, her heart was slightly relieved, and she said, "The previous news was too smooth, and now the court and the central government are waiting to come back to discuss the merits, but now there is no glamorous thing, but we have a grandson to go in...... This ......"

Emperor Xianping's face was very unsightly, and he said: "That's right, but we haven't thought of how to persuade Da Lang, just let the news out, I'm afraid Da Lang will be confused......

Queen Chunyu said: "This matter has to be told to Da Lang after all, I'm worried that I will let him know after Ji Lang comes back, don't do anything to Ji Lang!" Second sister...... And this time it is said that the injury of Kakuro is not light! However, the matter will not be understood until Kuro comes back, and Jiulang can't ask anything there. ”

"I can't just listen to them." Emperor Xianping said hesitantly, "Since they have only been away for a long time, I'm afraid it's not easy to find the opportunity, after all, there are only a few falcons, and there are falcons, and it is not easy for carrier pigeons to go!" After a few days, it's been loose on the road for a long time, so let's see the truth again. ”

It is impossible for the emperor not to 'insert' cronies in the hands of people who go west, but the Western Regions are really far away from Chang'an, and it is not easy to come back to report the news by manpower, and it is easy to have accidents on the road for various reasons. The falcon of the imperial gift was clearly ruled by the Marquis of Yongcheng, and Su Shina blocked the news quickly and cruelly, except for Ning Shaobi, no one in Chang'an could receive the news carried by the birds.

And the Marquis of Yongcheng has now been injured on the road, and it is naturally impossible to see closely on the road as in Dongyi Mountain, it is really not possible, there are many soldiers, there are always people who can directly rush to Chang'an to report the news.

Empress Chunyu sighed: "This time we have been deceived for so long!" ”

Although the queen's words were not fully said, the meaning and reminder of Emperor Xianping were understood, but Emperor Xianping was very calm, and said lightly: "Don't talk about it, the children don't have this ability, it must be Su Shina!" In the end, this person is a pillar of the family, and the critical time is to be able to control the scene. Of course, this is also the time when there are not enough people in Dongyi Mountain to dominate him...... But no matter what, he is just a servant after all, and he is a member of the Yue family, so I don't have to be afraid of it. ”

Empress Chunyu heard that Emperor Xianping was for the eldest princess of Jiyang, and did not agree to suppress or prevent the Ning familyβ€”at least at this moment, she did not agree to do so, which was also the result she expected, so she stopped trying it and said, "This time it is fortunate that he went." ”

Emperor Xianping said: "Well, I was also confused about the selection this time, and I didn't add a few more old and serious people to enter." ”

"Alas, Thirteen Lang shouldn't have been in it, I blame me for this, thinking that he is not the eldest son, he can't bear the title, it's good to have a chance to make meritorious contributions, I don't want Lang and Xiao Saburo to have an accident together, where can he and Tang Shenzhi hold up such a situation?" Empress Chunyu sighed and said, "Fortunately, after Zhong Chongsheng's death, his descendants are afraid of being condemned for colluding with the old ministry to make 'chaos'...... These people were all caught by Su Shina, and since this is the case, Suo 'sex' said that they murdered Xiao Saburo and ambushed Ji Lang! ”

Emperor Xianping nodded: "That's all it can be like this - but it takes a lot of effort to make Da Lang believe." He frowned and said, "I'm even more afraid that Da Lang thinks that although Xiao San Lang is a descendant of the Zhong family, Ji Lang is also pushing 'waves' to help the fire and even kill people with a knife!" ”

He said slowly, "Don't you forget that Ji Lang went to the Yueshi ...... at that time."

"Didn't you tell him to go?" Queen Chunyu said casually, and then she understood, and sighed, "Alas, at that time, I ordered Jia Lang to see if Xiao San Lang would be confused, and he would not hesitate to cause a beacon fire in the Western Regions to fight for the position of the prince!" If that's the case, we won't feel guilty about abandoning him, but we don't want to......"

When she said this, the emperor and queen were shocked at the same time: "Could it be...... Is the bitter 'meat' trick used by people?! ”
