Chapter 416: Not for Him
Lin Shuran stood on the top floor of the Wangyuan Pavilion, the highest in the Royal Manor and now the Juvenile Academy, looking out, most of the landscape of the academy was in his sight, and in the wide training ground in the distance, a group of teenagers were being chased by the Martial Fontanelle for running, which may be an experience that many of them have not had since they were born.
This is a group of pampered teenagers, maybe in a few years, they will become the most smiling group of people in the capital, their families are wealthy, their status is noble, and they have wealth, power and connections that are difficult for ordinary people to achieve.
"Madam, Aunt Chang is here to pick you up!" Lin Shuran was imagining what this group of teenagers would look like in the future, and Lingqin came behind her and said.
Lin Shuran had already received an order from the Queen Mother to let her enter the palace today, but she didn't expect that Aunt Chang would come to pick her up in person. After seeing Aunt Chang, the two of them entered the palace together to see the Queen Mother.
On the way, Aunt Chang also revealed to Lin Shuran some of the purpose of the Queen Mother to see her, probably related to the eldest prince, Lin Shuran was puzzled, what relationship can she have with the eldest prince, recently the queen heard that she was also restless for the position of the prince of the eldest prince, and she did not want to participate in the affairs of the palace.
Entering Renshou Palace, Lin Shuran saw the Queen Mother leaning on the soft collapse in the dormitory, she was wearing comfortable palace clothes, less majestic, just like an old lady next door, looking at Lin Shuran with a gentle attitude, but there are traces of time between her eyebrows, she will always worry about everything related to the emperor, and it is rare to have a special leisure time recently, and there is occasionally sadness flashing in her eyes.
Seeing Lin Shuran, the Queen Mother was very happy, she felt that the most right thing she did was to marry Lin Shuran to Xu Junze, seeing that the relationship between a young couple was getting better and better, and she had her own daughter, she felt that she finally had an explanation for Princess Fengrong.
The Queen Mother asked Lin Shuran to sit down beside her, and motioned for everyone to go out, leaving only Aunt Chang, and then the two smiled and said some common words, which seemed to have no special meaning but showed their closeness to each other.
Then, the Queen Mother said her real purpose in summoning Lin Shuran, that is, to send the eldest prince to her juvenile academy and strictly train the eldest prince in the same way she trained the children of the Xu family.
Lin Shuran was shocked when he heard this, because the eldest prince is the eldest son of the emperor and the empress, and it is very likely that he will be the future prince, he has a group of people who are responsible for teaching him since he was born, and there are also the best gentlemen in the palace, the prince and princess are noble, and there is a special place to study in the palace, even if they don't go to the Guozijian, how can they enter their own newly opened academy, and if the queen mother and the emperor insist on letting the eldest prince enter the juvenile academy, both the queen and the ministers will think that they have given up the eldest prince, At that time, I am afraid that the matter of the prince will become more and more intense.
I didn't want to get involved in these things, but I couldn't directly refuse the Queen Mother, Lin Shuran asked the doubts in his heart and said: "The Queen Mother, you know, my academy has just started, and all aspects are still immature, although I am confident that I can do it well, but it must go through a run-in, the eldest prince is the future prince, he has always had a teacher to teach, even if he wants to go to the academy, he should also go to the Guozijian, the juvenile academy is afraid that it is not suitable for him." ”
The Queen Mother was resolute at this time, and said: "The eldest prince is not very old, it is appropriate to enter the Juvenile Academy, and your Juvenile Academy is also a royal academy, the gentlemen in it are all extraordinary, and the most important thing is that I believe that you can teach the eldest prince well, that child is used to by the queen is no longer the same, if it continues, I am worried that it will not only ruin the child but also ruin the foundation of my Jin Dynasty." ”
In the Jin Dynasty, the prince has always been a successor, not a long-term heir, the eldest prince is both a son-in-law and the eldest son, although the emperor and the queen mother do not like Empress Wei and the people of the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion, but the eldest prince is always the royal bloodline, and he is also the most likely person to inherit the throne, so the emperor and the queen mother do not want to give up on him.
Recently, because of the matter of the prince, the small actions that Empress Wei did behind her back did not hide from the Queen Mother and the emperor, after the previous lesson, Empress Wei was obedient and amiable on the surface, but the nature of the country is easy to change, and Queen Wei has not changed in her bones, but her means of doing things have become more ruthless and vicious.
The most important thing is that there have been changes within the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion recently, it is no longer the Dingyuan Marquis Wei Qianjie who has the final say, and the reason why Wei Ying, who has sworn allegiance to the emperor and fought against his own father, can control most of the rights of the Hou Mansion in such a short period of time is naturally due to the emperor's merit and help, otherwise Yuan Chong, the secretary of the military department, would not be able to do it alone.
If one day the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is really on the emperor's side, then the emperor will not have too many worries about the eldest prince becoming the prince, but because of Empress Wei's domineering willfulness before, the eldest prince has been raised crooked by him, and now the queen mother and the emperor want to separate the eldest prince and Empress Wei, and separate the forces behind the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and the only place that can do this is now the Juvenile Academy.
Although the Juvenile Academy is subordinate to the royal family and the Queen Mother, Lin Shuran said early on that once students enter the academy, it will have nothing to do with all the interests outside, whether it is identity or status, they are equal here, and all affairs must be done by the students themselves, and the teaching content and rules of the academy, the Queen Mother and the emperor have really understood, so they can rest assured that the eldest prince will be sent to the Juvenile Academy.
It's nothing to have one more student in the academy, even if this person is the emperor's son, Lin Shuran will treat them equally, but for the idea of the queen mother and the emperor, Empress Wei will definitely disagree, and she will definitely find trouble for herself when the time comes.
"You don't have to worry about the queen, in the past, she was for the sake of the face of the Marquis of Dingyuan, for the stability of the court, but now the Marquis of Dingyuan is doing things more and more out of line, and the mourning family can't let her ruin the descendants of the Zhao family." The queen mother's tone became stern, she didn't have the support of a strong maternal family, she could still let her son sit on the throne, if she was really a person who let her daughter-in-law bully, then the throne would have been replaced long ago.
Now the emperor is no longer the original fledgling, he has the ability to deal with people like Zhao Qian, the king of Yue and Wei Qianjie, the marquis of Dingyuan, he will no longer be led by the nose, and his courage in the face of the ministers is getting stronger and stronger, at this time to help the emperor stabilize the harem, that is what the queen mother should do, she will not let Queen Wei mess around in the future, even if she can't abolish the queen, she can make her unable to do anything.
"But the Queen Mother, do you really feel free to let the eldest prince enter the Juvenile Academy? The ministers will object! Lin Shuran was worried not only about Empress Wei and Marquis Dingyuan, but also about those ministers who had their own thoughts, they were the most powerful and difficult people in the court to deal with.
