Chapter 70: The Genealogy of the Royal Family
In the imperial study, Fu Qiu carefully looked at the royal family tree, there were too many people inside and out, there were thirteen princes alone, not to mention some clan branches, among the thirteen princes, three of them stayed in the imperial capital, namely the fifth prince, the eighth prince, and the ninth prince, Fu Qiu suspected that if there were still people behind Wang Wei, they must be among these people, but the three princes who stayed in the imperial capital were all in the name of a prince and had no real power in the court.
"Your Majesty, could it be a conspiracy of the vassal kings of various places to control the imperial capital behind their backs?"
Fu Lao reminded softly, and Fu Qiu pinched his eyebrows.
"It's possible, but ...... I always felt that if there was anyone behind the scenes, it was more likely to be by my side. ”
Fu Qiu didn't have much memory, and he didn't know much about the royal relationship, and the dog system was useless, so he asked.
"Old Fu, I've been so tired lately, I can't remember a lot of things clearly, you help me recall my memories, is there any other person in the palace or the royal family who is quite authoritative?"
Fu Lao didn't think much about it, and said directly.
"Among the princes, if you talk about the most powerful, the eleventh of Youzhou, the king of Shunxun, when the first emperor was still there, the prince with the best prestige, the sixth prince of Yangzhou, King Ning, although the other princes have some military power and some prestige, but they are very limited. And it's not a descendant, only King Shunxun and King Ning are descendants. ”
Fu Qiu nodded.
"What about the palace?"
Fu Lao smiled bitterly.
"In the palace, Wang Guifei has been beaten into the cold palace, and the most powerful people have fallen, if you must pick an authoritative person, it is the imperial concubine, Dou."
Fu Qiu frowned, and searched hard in his mind for this imperial concubine Dou family, but there was almost nothing in his memory, he was born to the late queen mother, and he was born, so he had no intersection with this Dou family at all, but he knew from the broken TV series in his later life that this woman had a problem.
"Born to the Dou family, who are those princes?"
Fu Qiu raised his eyebrows, and Fu Lao said quite seriously.
"The fifth, the eighth."
Fu Qiu frowned and said decisively.
"Send two shadow guards to closely monitor the two of them now, until Wang Wei falls! I don't believe it, and I can't find a mastermind behind it! Even if he digs three feet into the ground and tries one person by one, I will find him out! ”
Fu Lao nodded.
"By the way, and the Dou family, let's also monitor it, now that it's an eventful season, I can't care about etiquette."
Fu Qiu said, hearing this, Fu Lao appeared with a wry smile.
"Your Majesty...... The shadow guards have limited manpower, and if you monitor Emperor Dou and Concubine Dou any longer, I am afraid that they will be taken away from the guards around you, and the old slave is worried about your safety. ”
Fu Qiudao.
"Smoke it, smoke it, there is Fu Lao, what am I afraid of?"
Elder Fu smiled knowingly and nodded.
"However, the manpower of the shadow guards is indeed too small, only a dozen, and it is shabby to say it, Fu Lao, you can find a way to expand it, whether it is silver or official rank, I will support it unconditionally!"
Fu Qiu said, Fu Lao smiled bitterly again, embarrassed.
"Your Majesty, it's not a secret, all the manpower of the shadow guard is all children adopted by the old slave since childhood, no worries, absolute loyalty, and training is extremely difficult, it takes a lot of effort, there is no systematic martial arts cheats, it is difficult to train on a large scale, so ...... Your Majesty, this is not a question of money and official position, and the old slave can only say that he will do his best. ”
Hearing this, Fu Qiu frowned, feeling a pity, if he had tens of thousands of shadow guards, then he really didn't have to be afraid of any conspiracy, God blocked and killed God, Buddha blocked and killed Buddha, but unfortunately he didn't understand this aspect, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and the thief smiled.
"By the way, Elder Fu, if I get Murong Xue into the palace, do you think that with her capacity as the head of the Moon Palace, can she systematically train a large number of shadow guards?"
Fu Lao was stunned.
"It should be possible, Invite Moon Palace has a high status in the rivers and lakes, and there must be a lot of martial arts cheats, but ......"
An embarrassed smile appeared on his old face.
"But what?"
Fu Qiu raised his eyebrows and joked with Fu Lao.
"Why, doesn't Fu Lao believe in my manly charm and heavenly temperament?"
Fu Lao rarely showed a smile unique to the old man, and the folds were squeezed together.
"Your Majesty, it's not that the old slave doesn't believe you. It's just that the Moon Palace has been passed down through the ages, and even the disciples don't accept it, and let her take out the cheats to cultivate the shadow guard, I'm afraid it's difficult, besides, today, Your Majesty, you deceived Murong Zhangjiao, and when the time comes, she knows that you are today, I'm afraid there will be hostility. ”
Fu Qiu showed an unkind smile and pouted.
"Who let this Zhangjiao girl be presumptuous, dare to come to the imperial capital to assassinate me, chivalrous is good, but unfortunately it was used in the wrong place, I don't suppress her temper of rejecting people thousands of miles away, I won't be called the Son of Heaven!"
Fu Lao smiled, he also hoped that His Majesty could take more concubines and continue the bloodline, especially a woman like Murong Xue, once she won it, it would be a great help to Your Majesty!
"Your Majesty, are you going to that concubine tonight?"
Seeing that the two were almost talking, Gong Xi stepped forward and asked, Fu Qiu blurted out that he wanted to talk about the Heart Cultivation Palace, but then he thought of Zhuge Yao again, and he didn't know if the body was cold.
"Let's go to the Akiba Temple."
Father-in-law Xi bent down and said.
"Concubine Yao sent someone not long ago to say that she has been unwell recently and cannot serve Your Majesty."
"It's okay, I'll just take a look."
Fu Qiu stood up, put down his hand, and went to the Autumn Leaves Palace, the deep palace is very large, like a labyrinth, from the imperial study to the Autumn Leaves Palace, there is a time to walk half a stick of incense, in the hall, the black light is blind, in the courtyard under the moonlight, the lotus pond, sparkling, Fu Qiu walked in slowly, only to see a woman squatting by the lotus pond, slender, like a butterfly shadow under the moon, extraordinarily beautiful, that is not Zhuge Yao, who else can it be, but at this time, she is crying, in this night, she looks extremely helpless and sad, Fu Qiu frowned, What's wrong with her? After slowly approaching, Zhuge Yao was still crying, crying rouge, still holding a letter in his hand, and did not notice Fu Qiu's approach.
"What's wrong?"
Fu Qiu spoke directly, her voice was low and magnetic, Zhuge Yao was startled, and almost fell into the lotus pond, but fortunately, Fu Qiu grabbed her with one hand.
"You, Your Majesty, why are you here?"
She wiped away her tears and stopped sobbing, her eyes complicated.
"I heard that you are cold, so I came to see you and brought you some gifts by the way."
Fu Qiu raised the sandalwood box in his hand, which he bought outside the palace today.
"The concubine is fine, thank you Your Majesty, Your Majesty should go back first, the concubine is unwell."
She lowered her head and said, Fu Qiu grinned and raised her cheek.
"This harem, I'm afraid that only you dare to let me come and go back, my eyes are crying so red, what happened, tell me, I will call the shots for you."
He reached out to wipe away her tears.
"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, but the concubine and brother came with a message and said, ......"
Her eyes turned red again, and she bit her lip.
"My mother died."
