Although the development process of the matter is somewhat uncontrollable, for example, the Queen Mother's initial list actually excluded the candidates of King Ning's lineage, which is quite scratching his head. But Prince Liang is the person entrusted by the Queen Mother to be responsible for the selection, and he has many methods, many eligible children of the royal family were crowned by Prince Liang with various inappropriate reasons, such as age problems, character problems, stains in the family, etc., and all of the comments of Prince Liang were exaggerated and exaggerated, so that the Empress Dowager Zhang had to exclude one after another, and finally found that no one was suitable.

So Prince Liang was afraid to throw out the theory of Zhu's bloodline, saying that the bloodline left by Dafan Taizu should be in the selection of candidates, and should not be based on the similarity of the bloodline of the previous emperor as the selection condition. After making such several advances, Empress Dowager Zhang gradually relieved, and King Ning officially entered the Queen Mother's field of vision.

With the advantage of being close to the water, Zhu Chenhao and Prince Liang both understood that the eldest son of King Ning had some place in the heart of the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother was too deep in the city and was reluctant to make a decision, and constantly urged Prince Liang to feedback the information of all eligible royal children; And Prince Liang and King Ning also knew in their hearts that there were several suitable candidates for the prince of the Ning family, and if they were compared together, the prince of Ning Wang would not have an advantage. But they didn't dare to put forward the construction of the succession of King Ning too directly, which would be too traceful, and it would be easy for the shrewd Queen Mother to detect their intentions.

After thinking about it, Prince Liang thought of such a fake parting method for King Ning, that is, to use the relationship established between King Ning and the Queen Mother during this period of time to make an emotional bitter plan, find an opportunity to find out this matter, and take advantage of the characteristics of the Empress Dowager Zhang's stubborn and strong personality and reluctance to be influenced by others, and let the Queen Mother make a decision.

To be honest, this is indeed a bit risky, if the queen mother fails to get the plan, Zhu Chenhao can only leave the capital with the princess and the prince, which is counterproductive. But in fact, things went unexpectedly smoothly, and the trick finally paid off.

At the practice banquet, when Zhu Chenhao aggrieved and aggrieved the so-called rumors outside, and frankly said that he could not stay in the capital with his son anymore, so as not to be attacked by others, Empress Dowager Zhang raised her eyebrows and was very angry in her heart. Originally, she was still vacillating among several candidates, but now she made up her mind.

"How can the mourning family joke on national affairs, the emperor's infertility is an extremely secret thing, and now it seems that this secret cannot be kept, if this matter is taught to the subjects of the world, the country will be shaken, and the people's hearts will be floating, so the mourning family will do their best to choose a candidate for the emperor to inherit the unification. Since some people are spreading these remarks, their intention is self-evident, and they are trying to force you to give up. But after months of observation and spending months with this child, the mourning family also got to know his character. The more those people didn't want him to be a candidate for succession, the mourning family didn't let them get their way. Mrs. Zhang sneered.

Zhu Chenhao's heart almost jumped out of his stomach, the excitement in his heart was indescribable, it seemed that this trick had worked.

Sure enough, Empress Dowager Zhang spoke again: "You postpone leaving the capital, the matter of the succession of King Ning's family has been decided, but this matter needs to be discussed with the emperor, and the emperor will issue a special decree after nodding." ”

Zhu Chenhao forcibly endured the tears that were about to well up, warning himself not to express his excitement too much, once the queen mother made a decision, the emperor would not be too difficult to get through, the emperor was like that, what kind of heart did he have to oppose this matter? What needs to be worried is Yang Tinghe and others and Song Nan and others who have just returned to Beijing, if these important ministers of the court and the central government oppose it, it will be the saddest hurdle.

"The queen mother's grace is the supreme glory of my Ning Wang, although the prince is favored by the queen mother, but the candidate for the succession must be agreed upon by hundreds of civil and military officials, and a decision cannot be made hastily, otherwise someone will say something, which is not good for the queen mother and the Chenhao family."

"The mourning family knows what you want to say, and your worries are not unreasonable, in fact, Yang Tinghe, the first assistant of the cabinet, is recommending a candidate to the mourning family, that is to offer the prince Zhu Houxi, on the root of the bloodline, this son is a relative of the emperor's concubine, and it is said that his character is also very good. Yang Tinghe's intention is to establish him as the emperor's younger brother and inherit the unification in the future, but the mourning family has not agreed, as for the reason, there is no need to say more. Yang Tinghe blushed with the mourning family several times for this, if the mourning family is the successor of Wang Shizi, Yang Tinghe will definitely oppose it, but how can the mourning family be swayed by him? ”

Zhu Chenhao knew about this earlier, Yang Tinghe should have seen his intentions a long time ago, although he had hinted intentionally or unintentionally that he could help himself in this matter, but Yang Tinghe didn't care about himself at all, and has been trying his best to advocate the establishment of Zhu Houxi as the emperor's younger brother, this person doesn't want to have anything to do with himself, maybe Yang Tinghe thinks that his strength is big enough to influence the candidates who inherit the unification, or he doesn't like himself at all, all in all, this person is the biggest stumbling block.

"They may oppose the decision of the mourning family, but as long as the emperor nods, how can they have the right to speak. The mourning family is the emperor's mother, and the emperor will definitely believe that the mourning family is for the sake of Daming Sheji, and it is not their turn to come to such a major event. ”

"What the Queen Mother said is that if the emperor wants to nod, I'm afraid it will take someone to nod." Zhu Chenhao said in a low voice.

"You mean that Song Nan?" Empress Dowager Zhang frowned.

Zhu Chenhao obviously felt the displeasure in the Queen Mother's words, but since he had already spoken out, he simply burned the fire today, so as not to cause extraneous branches.

"The queen mother forgives her sins, Chen Hao has always heard that the emperor relies on Song Nan for big and small things, how can the emperor not ask Song Nan's opinion for such major matters. And Song Nan has always been prejudiced against Chen Hao, and he is afraid that he will get in the way. ”

Empress Dowager Zhang said: "It is the emperor who favors this person too much, otherwise this person would be so bold, you don't have to hide it, you are the first to find out about him and the princess, he must be dissatisfied with you because of this matter, but this time the mourning family will not allow him to interfere." Although he drove away the Tartars and recovered the Hetao, he was the first great hero of my Ming Dynasty, but the courtiers are the courtiers, and his qiē was given by the royal family. ”

At this point, Zhu Chenhao didn't need to say much, he said what he should have said, and he said what he shouldn't say, and no matter how much he said, he was afraid that people would be aware of his urgency, so he immediately shut up, and soon after bowed down and retired.

Back at the residence, Zhu Chenhao laughed loudly, a painstaking management finally paid off, if his son can succeed as the crown prince, he will be the emperor after ascending the throne in the future, and the Ming Dynasty will be in his own hands, which is much safer and more cost-effective than the stupid Anhua King rebellion. There is no need to risk rebellion, the world is available in a blink of an eye, this is where you are smarter than others, looking at the big future, how many people can be more calculating than yourself but dare to act? I am smarter than everyone else, and I deserve to be able to sit on the world.

……

In the back house of the Song Mansion, after the family banquet, Song Nan and his wives and concubines sat in the lobby of the back house, chatting and talking; Ye Fanggu, who had recovered, rarely held a needle and thread in her hand, chatting and embroidering a silk handkerchief.

Song Nan deliberately glanced at it, a lotus flower on it was lifelike, and the craftsmanship of the female red improved by leaps and bounds, which was many thousands of times better than the chicken pecking rice embroidered a few years ago; It seems that Ye Fanggu fulfilled her promise, and when she rescued her in the cave outside the Great Wall that day, she said that after she came back, she would adopt her heart and nurture her mind and abandon her sword and martial arts to be a wife with peace of mind, at that time, Song Nan thought she was just saying it casually, but she really did it.

The women asked Song Nan about the situation on the battlefield, Song Nan replied with a match, everyone saw that he was a little absent-minded, and seemed to be full of thoughts, this attitude quickly aroused the dissatisfaction of the wives and concubines, and urged the narrow little county lord to let his son climb Song Nan's knee to pluck his short beard, in order to express his dissatisfaction.

The stinging pain pulled Song Nan back from his thoughts, looking at the resentful eyes of the wives and concubines, Song Nan knew that he shouldn't be thinking away when he was reunited after a long absence, and he should comfort them, so he got up and said: "It's not early, let's take a bath and sleep, the Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, chatting is actually nothing fun, let's go play fun things." ”

The wives and concubines blushed, but their hearts also swelled, the little county lord was not ashamed, got up and crossed his waist with a housewife demeanor and commanded: "Wan'er went to serve the master to take a bath, and the sisters went back to coax the children to sleep and gathered in my room, I will not let go of the husband today, I have been absent-minded since I came back, I want to see what can attract him more than our sisters' jade appearance, squeeze him dry tonight." ”

The women laughed and scolded, but there was no opposition, not even the least reserved, and they laughed and left. Song Nan lamented in her heart, why did women become more and more arrogant after they got married, these people in the family used to be shy and shy, but now they have all become rotten girls, and the little county lord who is the eldest woman has always been like this, but Dai Su'er and Lu Qingli immediately blushed when they mentioned this kind of thing, and now they are calm and calm, and it seems to be natural.

On the twenty-ninth day of the seventh year of the Great Ming Zhengde, the second day is the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve; In the Qianqing Palace, Zhengde coughed violently, spit out mouthfuls of black blood, and finally fell asleep with difficulty after a long time.

In the cabinet office, Yang Ting and five or six other colleagues were discussing something in a low voice under a candlestick.

On the big bed of the Song Mansion, Bai Huahua's flesh was entangled together, and Song Nan, the prince of Daming Town, was carrying out his great cause of conquest.

On the quiet night of Beijing, different scenes are staged in different places, interpreting different lives. In the night sky, white snowflakes fall silently, and the first winter snow of the year is finally coming.
