Zhao Guangyuan had the last glimmer of hope for Emperor Zhizheng, but he was disappointed in the end.

Since it was rumored that the emperor was going to crown the adult prince as queen, the dark tide in the capital was surging. Even ordinary people in Beijing are talking about it. The palace ladies in the inner courtyard of the palace are doing their best.

The Third Highness and the Fourth Highness gathered in the Xiuhua Palace of Concubine De Niangniang on this day, and the mother and son prepared a full table of the emperor's favorite meals and waited.

As a result, the eunuch came to report that the emperor had transferred to Concubine Liu's Jinhua Palace.

When Concubine De heard this, she grabbed the tablecloth and knocked all the delicacies on the table to the ground, "Slut! ”

I gritted my teeth with hatred.

Back then, the Lu family was the original match, but she couldn't fight, so she became a side concubine aggrievedly. After the emperor ascended the throne, he said that she was noble and generous, and gave her the title of concubine. She was also complacent. Later, the Lu family died, and she thought that she must be the successor, but she turned out to be the slut of the Shen family.

can't be the first person in the harem, she is still the second. As a result, the emperor actually promoted the Liu family to the concubine again, and pressed her to death.

Concubine De's love for Emperor Zhizheng gradually faded away, and she just wanted to plan for her two sons.

"Slut, slut!"

"Mother, calm your anger." Zhao Guangjin and Zhao Guanghan hurriedly stepped forward to appease. He gave the palace people a look again and again, asking them to come up and clean up, and beware of the news leaking out.

"Mother, now is the critical time, don't mess with yourself, if it reaches the ears of my father, I still think that our mother and son are dissatisfied with our father."

Concubine De glanced at the palace people, and the palace people were so frightened that they trembled, "Slaves, slaves, born to be from Xiuhua Palace, and dead to be ghosts from Xiuhua Palace." They knelt down to show their loyalty.

Concubine De said some cruel words to the palace people before saying, "Go down." ”

"Yes." Eunuch Gong'e suddenly walked away in a hurry.

"Mother, don't be angry. The second in line ahead of us is already the crown prince, and the next one is us, and the father will not cross our brother. ”

"Yes, mother, even if my father doesn't come, our position is there, and no one can go past us. No matter how hard Jinhua Palace tries, thirteen is only fifteen years old, and I am afraid that it will not be his turn this time. ”

Concubine De looked resentful, "Why can't it be your turn!" I'm afraid that if the slut of the Liu family cries, the emperor will agree to anything. ”

As Concubine De said, Concubine Liu cried sadly as soon as she saw the emperor, "What's wrong with Concubine Ai, don't cry, don't cry." ”

Emperor Zhizheng hugged Liu Guifei to appease.

Liu Guifei leaned in his arms, crying and her eyes were red, "Pity us thirteen, born a few years late." blamed the emperor for letting the concubines enter the palace late, and serving the emperor for so many years in vain. ”

Emperor Zhizheng laughed, "This is also worth your crying?" In the future, I will be served by you, and I am afraid that you will be tired and will not follow. ”

"How can you not follow, the concubines are only afraid that the emperor will not come." lightly pounded Emperor Zhizheng's chest.

Emperor Zhizheng pulled her to sit down, of course he knew why Liu Guifei was doing this, and persuaded: "Thirteen and fifteen years old, but in a few years, he can be sealed, and then I will draw up the best title for him." ”

Liu Guifei cried again when she heard this, "Pity us thirteen, we have to wait a few more years." If there's a ...... in case."

Emperor Zhizheng's eyes were solemn, "What if." "Are you afraid that you won't be able to wait for him to be crowned?

Liu Guifei also knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she hurriedly knelt down and asked for the guilt, "The concubine deserves death, please punish the emperor!" The concubine is afraid that Thirteen will have a case, in case he can't wait to be crowned, he will ......"

Emperor Zhizheng reprimanded her, "Nonsense." We are thirteen as strong as calves, and we will live a hundred years. ”

"Yes, yes, it's all concubines who don't mean it."

Emperor Zhizheng looked at his beloved woman, and then thought about his beloved son, and felt that he would not give thirteen titles, and when he saw those brothers who had won titles, wouldn't he have to give a big gift every time he saw it?

Or, give titles to princes over the age of ten?

After thinking clearly, he asked Liu Guifei what title she liked.

Concubine Liu's eyes flashed, "Your Majesty, Prince Jin is no longer there, and there is no one to inherit his lineage, so should his title be withdrawn?" ”

Emperor Zhizheng was stunned and glanced at Concubine Liu, "You dare to ask for it." ”

"Didn't the emperor say that he loved us thirteen, is it all a joke, coaxing our mother and son to play?"

"When did I coax you to play? It's just a title, and if Thirteen likes it, give it to him. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Concubine Liu couldn't help but be overjoyed, becoming more and more gentle and careless, "The concubine is waiting for you to bathe your body......"

Within two days, Emperor Zhizheng summoned his clan relatives and ministers in the imperial study, and did not speak to the titles of the princes who had been drafted.

Everyone lowered their eyes and didn't speak, unable to guess the emperor's thoughts.

Jiang Xiang was listed, "Your Majesty, this time the titles of each Highness are drafted, and there are no Seven Highnesses, and the minister implores the Emperor to dismiss another proposal." ”

Emperor Zhizheng glanced at Jiang Xiang lightly.

Several ministers guessed the emperor's thoughts, and refuted Jiang Xiang one after another: "This time the king is crowned, only His Royal Highness who is an adult and married, and the Seventh Highness is not yet married......"

Jiang Xiang naturally wouldn't agree, "Speaking of marriage, His Royal Highness the Seventh is the concubine of the Empress Yuan, and he is forty years old this year, I wonder if the emperor has any thoughts about the Seventh Highness?" The Twelve Highnesses are all full of children, and the Seventh Highness is still empty in the house. ”

The prince's eyes flashed after hearing this.

The person who married the seventh brother back then is still in his East Palace.

Prince Qi on the side glanced at the crown prince, then at Jiang Xiang, and then at the emperor, thinking in his heart.

As one of the brothers of Emperor Zhizheng, Prince Qi is considered to be a relatively powerful speaker among the relatives of the Zhao family.

After thinking about it, Prince Qi came out, "The younger brother agrees with what Lord Jiang said. Guangyuan is now old, twenty and four, and he has been guarding the mausoleum of his imperial grandfather for six years, not to mention the merit and hard work, all the brothers have titles, only have not, and it is not like words. ”

After speaking, he glanced at the emperor, and said: "Although the minister brother Guan Guangxun is fifteen years old, he is already good at running errands in the household department. This time he was crowned the king, but he couldn't miss our Guangxun. There are also the twelve mentioned by Master Jiang, all of whom have both children and daughters, although they have not reached the crown, they should really be sealed. ”

Although Emperor Zhizheng did not agree with Jiang Xiang's words, Prince Qi said that he wanted to seal the thirteenth in his heart.

After thinking about it, he nodded: "Indeed, twelve have sons and daughters, it is really not like to be sealed, and thirteen is one year younger than him, so it will be sealed together." ”

pointed to the title prepared by the ministers, "Prince Jin has passed away, and the title should be withdrawn, so give it to Guangxun." ”

Jiang Xiang frowned, and was just about to leave the ranks, but was lightly skimmed by Prince Qi, and his footsteps were retracted.

Holding his breath in his chest.

The ministers were also quite shocked, but they didn't expect the emperor to give His Royal Highness the thirteenth as "King Jin!" ”

"Jin" has always been the most honorable title among the princes, and has always been considered the heir to the throne. Although there is already a crown prince, "Jin" should not fall on the head of the Thirteenth Highness.

This was originally what Jiang Xiang wanted to fight for Zhao Guangyuan.
