The scene was quiet for a few seconds, and then several people looked at Liu Che meaningfully.

Liu Che's face turned red, the green tendons on his face bloomed, and argued: "It's not unusual for the emperor to have a few male favorites...... The matter of male pets, how can it be considered a ......"

In the end, I couldn't say anything.

Li Shimin's eyebrows were slightly raised, and his eyes were teasing: "Okay, don't say it, everyone who understands understands." ”

Liu Che: "......"

Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head again: "Hey, what about the First Emperor?" ”

……

As soon as Ying Zheng opened his eyes, he felt a faint fragrant breeze coming.

Immediately followed by the woman's crisp greeting: "Concubine Cuiwei Palace Zhaoyi Feng, respectfully ask Your Majesty Sheng'an!" ”

Ying Zheng glanced at her, and saw that this woman was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with clouds and temples and golden faces, and Tingting was hired, graceful and bright like a scorching and blooming begonia.

He was not moved by this beauty, his eyes were withdrawn, and the memories belonging to the original owner flashed in his mind.

The original owner's name was Murong Jing, who was originally a son of the clan, because the first emperor had no children, he was adopted in the palace, and after the collapse of the mountain, he became the new monarch and ascended the throne as the emperor.

It's just that Ying Zheng couldn't help frowning secretly after quickly flipping through the memories that belonged to Murong Jing, for no other reason - how did this guy get chosen as the adopted son of the first emperor?!

The reading talent is mediocre, and he can't help suffering when he practices martial arts, but he can't be a middle-aged person, but he is quite narrow-minded and short-sighted, and he doesn't admire women, he likes the south wind, and he has raised a few drama boys in private.

- No wonder they will do such a horrific scandal as letting the heroes of the country ambush!

The only thing that is desirable is that the appearance is dignified, and the skin is slightly protruding.

But as far as being an emperor is concerned, the skin is the least important.

After a short period of puzzlement, Ying Zheng quickly noticed some clues.

Murong Jing's first eighteen years were smooth sailing.

Born in the palace of Zhou, his biological mother is the concubine of the palace, as the second son of the concubine, although he is not the son of the world, he cannot inherit the title of prince, but he can also make a county king.

Murong Jing's qualifications are mediocre and indulgent, King Zhou and Princess Zhou are also happy to indulge, Murong Jing is in the bureau and does not know why, and he naturally enjoys the love of his parents, but Ying Zheng has a glimpse of the true meaning of King Zhou's husband and wife.

The son who inherited the palace is good enough, so there is no need to demand that the second son is also the dragon and phoenix among the people, and the left and right are born with a golden spoon, how can he not miss his wealth, why bother to ask him to pinch the tip to be strong, and the brothers and sisters will make trouble in the future.

It's good for both sons.

It's just that no one expected that the second son of Zhou Wangfu would be selected as the heir of the first emperor.

And in Ying Zheng's eyes, the weird place lies precisely in this.

The first emperor was seriously ill last year, and Murong Jing was selected as the adopted son of the first emperor three days before the first emperor's death, so he was in too much of a hurry!

This obviously refers to the fact that the determination of the candidate is too abrupt, not that the matter of choosing an heir for the first emperor is too hasty.

In fact, since the death of the emperor's only son more than ten years ago, the courtiers began to urge the emperor to have stepchildren in the clan, after all, the emperor was already over forty years old at that time, and he was fat and sickly, and the possibility of having another heir was very small.

And the first emperor, of course, was reluctant.

Who wants to entrust the country to others?

So the first emperor frequently visited the harem, lingering in the curtains, and his body became more and more broken, but there was no good news from the harem.

So it wasn't until last autumn that the fifteen-year-old Princess Chongqing died of illness.

This is the longest-living child among the children of the first emperor, and it is also the only bit of flesh and blood left in this world, but the white-haired man still sent the black-haired man and left him first, which is a blow to an old man who is nearly sixty years old.

The first emperor's already tired and old body was completely crushed, and after a year of lingering sickness, he realized that the end was approaching, and finally ordered the adoption of Murong Jing, the second son of King Zhou, as his heir, inheriting the temple and securing Sheji.

And whether it is for the courtiers or for the clan, this choice is too sudden!

If you want to talk about talents, Murong Jing is just a middle-aged person, if you want to talk about blood, Zhou Wangfu is not the most recent one, and if you want to say that the favor of the Son of Heaven is really not ranked......

No one knows why the first emperor chose this sect son who is mediocre everywhere except for his face as his heir, and when Shang Shu's left servant shot Dong Chang, he heard it on the side, and his brows were furrowed - the clan is not without virtuous people.

wanted to speak, but his sleeve was pulled by Li Chun, the waiter on the side, and pulled it gently.

Dong Changshi paused, but didn't make a sound.

After leaving the first emperor's bedroom, he asked Li Chun: "Chu Zhong, what are you stopping me for?" ”

Chu Zhong is Li Chun's character.

At this time, listening to Dong Changshi's question, Li Chun was not in a hurry to answer, and glanced back at the majestic palace, until he walked out of dozens of zhang, and then said: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and the second son of the Zhou Wangfu is the clan, you and I are subordinates, and Your Majesty has the intention of entrusting the new monarch, how can you talk about the throne?" Zhongshu Ling Wang Yue has a gap with you, and he is good at talking about the abolition of the new monarch with you, how do you deal with yourself? Shi Xian, as a subordinate, intends to influence the throne of the prince, this is the way to take trouble! ”

Dong Changshi was dripping in cold sweat when he heard this, and he was afraid: "I'm really ...... Brother Chuzhong, thank you today! ”

sighed again: "This second son of King Zhou is really not like a human king. ”

Li Chunqi said: "Why did Shi Xian say this? ”

Dong Changshi whispered to him the reason: "A few years ago, he fought with my cousin's son for a male match, and the two sides fought and was captured by Jin Wuwei of the night watch. The newly appointed cavalry Cao Senjun was quite bold, so he detained the two of them together and sent people to report to the two mansions, and by the time I heard the news, the two had already received twenty sticks......"

Li Chun couldn't help but praise: "It's so bold, which family's son?" ”

Dong Changshi said: "He was born in a barren land in the southwest, and he came out of his martial arts, served in the Anxi Protectorate of Longyou Road, and was recommended by the Metropolitan Protectorate to join the army, so he was fortunate to be promoted to Chang'an to be this eight-rank cavalry Cao to participate in the military." ”

Li Chun was in awe: "I thought that this person must have a family background to rely on for doing this, and he wanted to make a name for himself, and he didn't want to despise the heroes of the world!" ”

He was discouraged again: "Although the imperial court has martial arts, but after all, the will cannot be extended, the dynasty established the country to worship literature and suppress the military, and after ascending the throne, the border army has become more and more relaxed." ”

Dong Changshi also sighed.

Li Chun didn't mention it anymore: "Shi Xian saw the second son of the Zhou Wangfu because of this?" ”

Dong Changshi snorted: "The prince of the Zhou Wangfu is beautiful, as for this second son, don't mention it!" ”

Li Chun only smiled faintly when he heard this, but asked, "Where is that cavalry Cao Shen military now?" ”

Dong Changshi said: "I checked his official examination, and when I saw that he was quite good, I entrusted Yang Shilang and asked him to go back to Longyou Road to become a lieutenant of Yilu." ”

Li Chun said: "You didn't come forward in person? ”

Dong Changshi shook his head with a smile: "Then there is a suspicion of inviting to buy fame." ”

……

Previously, the two mentioned that after Wang Yue returned to the house with Dong Chang, they were also puzzled: "Why did Your Majesty pick him?" ”

His wife Pei handed over the tea: "This stove is really cold enough." ”

He asked, "Doesn't anyone object to the prime ministers?" ”

"The abolition of the prince is the first major event of the dynasty, how can the courtiers put their beaks?"

Wang Yue shook his head, and then sneered: "Dong Changshi wanted to speak, but unfortunately he was stopped by Li Chun, if it weren't for that, I would have broken a piece of ginseng, and he would have lost a layer of skin if he didn't die!" ”

Pei Shi was a little regretful: "Although there is some communication between the palace and the Zhou Wangfu, it is only mediocre, and the few families that the husband was optimistic about before were not successful, and now His Majesty has ordered the second son of the Zhou Wangfu, and the situation is settled, I am afraid that it will not be changed again." ”

Wang Yue stroked the cup noodles with the tea lid and took a sip of tea: "If there are horses to ride, if there are no horses, the mules will also be on board." For the sake of the heir, His Majesty has confronted the courtiers for so many years, and it is a great blessing to be able to choose one, otherwise once the palace car is driven and there is no successor, the world is afraid that it will be chaotic immediately! ”

Pei Shi thought thoughtfully: "It's just that the concubine vaguely feels that something is wrong......"

……

Something is wrong.

Ying Zheng has Murong Jing's memory, so he can perceive this even more.

was selected as the heir of the first emperor, and after it fell, it not only stunned Murong Jing, but also stunned everyone in the Zhou Palace.

Because it's something that no one expected.

Why?

Ying Zheng is thinking about this problem.

Why was Murong Jing chosen by the first emperor?

Is it because the first emperor has never been able to have a son, and he is resentful, so he broke the jar and broke it, so he chose a new monarch who pulled his crotch to bring disaster to the country?

It's incredible.

The odds are slim to none.

But if not, what could be the reason?

Ying Zheng remembered the case of the first emperor's pulse that Murong Jing had seen after entering the palace - this kind of top-secret information could only be obtained by the new emperor or someone who had received a special decree.

Although the first emperor was sick, his condition was relatively stable, and it was not until three days before his death that his health deteriorated sharply.

Ying Zheng's thoughts turned a few times, and he quickly went through the events of the day Murong Jing entered the palace, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: Perhaps, it was a conspiracy from the beginning!

The first emperor would not deliberately spoil the foundation of his ancestors, so it is very likely that he did not know that Murong Jing's candidate was unreliable!

Because of the pain of having no children and wanting to hand over thousands of miles of rivers and mountains to others, the first emperor has always been extremely resistant to the affairs of the successor clan, and at several family banquets, the attitude towards several of the most promising clans is also extremely bad.

Originally, the first emperor had taken a few people into the palace to be educated, but after Shuyuan Zhang was pregnant, the first emperor couldn't wait to drive him out of the palace, and issued an edict to reprimand him for harboring bad intentions and coveting the unification, but no one expected that although Zhang Shuyuan gave birth to the prince, the prince was weak and died on the second day of his birth.

The first emperor was greatly affected by this, and he was even more reluctant to go out of the deep palace, and even the annual fixed clan banquet was deposed, and only the Mid-Autumn Festival and the New Year were willing to see the people in the clan, and his avoidance and disgust even reached this level.

From this, it is entirely possible that he doesn't know that Murong Jing is unreliable.

When someone was appointed to take him into the palace, Murong Jingsheng's dignified appearance, dragon and phoenix posture, but also gave birth to a little joy, so he agreed to this candidate and ordered him to be selected as the heir.

The first emperor didn't know, and he didn't know Murong Jing, of course he could hide it.

The prime ministers may know, but when it comes to the abolition of the prince of the heavenly family, especially when the first emperor summons the future prince to his side with the nature of entrustment, it is absolutely impossible for them to question it out loud!

It's like when Liu Che entrusted his young son to a few important ministers of the prison state, who dared to stand up and say Your Majesty, you can't see people, and the minister thinks that the one you chose is not good, and a certain prince is more suitable......

If the emperor is still alive, you dare to say that the prince is not suitable, and you want to be replaced, and when the emperor is gone, you won't turn the sky upside down?

No, before I die, I have to arrange this old thing!

The Nine Clans said: You are high, you are amazing!

But in this case, the problem arises again.

Who concealed the facts, reversed black and white, and helped Murong Jing, who was outside the gold and jade and ruined in it, to take such a shocking benefit?

There has never been a shortage of smart people in the palace, and there are no fools among the courtiers, but they all mistakenly attributed everything to the planning of the Zhou Palace, and felt that the King of Zhou seemed to be inconspicuous, but he didn't expect to do such a big thing secretly.

Only the Zhou Wangfu was confused.

This is really confused!

The pie is big, and if you're not careful, you'll be killed!
