The father and son of the Sheng family were worried that their relatives would take power and cause chaos to the dynasty, so the family background of everyone in the harem was not very good.

The Xu family was originally just a small official's family, and the family ran a small business, and after she was elected to the palace, the Xu family saw that there was no hope of promotion, so they focused on business.

If you can't hold power, then hold the silver.

However, Dasheng's internal market is so big that it can't make any waves. By chance, the Xu family came into contact with a merchant who had returned from overseas, and the Xu family became interested in the small countries around Dasheng.

At that time, someone from the Xu family went to sea.

And she became pregnant soon after entering the palace, but unfortunately, she miscarried that time and failed to give birth to an heir.

But this incident made the Xu family's heart of power sprout.

It happened that the Xu family got a strange poison from overseas at that time, and she fell on Queen Zhou.

The reason why he attacked Queen Zhou early was because Queen Zhou was virtuous and generous, and she was deeply loved by Sheng Hong, although the official rank of the Zhou family was low, but the Zhou family was stable and low-key, and it was also praised by Sheng Hong.

If Empress Zhou does not die, then the rest of the harem will have no chance to take the throne.

The other concubines and side monarchs in the harem have their own weaknesses, As long as Queen Zhou is gone, the Xu family has the confidence to beat the others.

And so it is.

The Peng family, the mother of the three princes, and the Dong family, the mother of the fifth queen, are stupid, poisonous, and greedy, and neither of these two families needs the Xu family to do anything specially, and they themselves are going to perish.

The Seven Princes are a bit tricky.

The Seven Princes' ability to do things and their jealous and hateful temperament were actually very pleasing to Sheng Hong, so the Xu family made a move on the Seven Princes.

As a result, he was escaped by the Seven Princes.

I was drugged again, but I was escaped by the Seven Princes again.

Since then, the guards around the Seven Princes have become more and more tight, and the Xu family has no chance to start, and they are afraid of startling the snake, so they have not touched the Seven Princes.

When the five princes were about to rebel, the Xu family wanted to see Sheng Hong's true defense ability through the rebellion of the five princes, but they were afraid that the five princes' rebellion would succeed, so they hesitated and hesitated, and finally the Xu family reported to the seven princes and Zhou Zhengye.

Although the rebellion was unsuccessful, Sheng Hong began to assess the forbidden army, and the combat power of the forbidden army increased a lot, which brought a lot of trouble to the Xu family and Chen Mei, and the Xu family could only train more people.

Later, after the construction of the Grand Canal was completed, Xu Fuxing found the six princes and said that he wanted to go to the canal system.

The Xu family has been going to sea to do business in the past few years, and has a certain amount of experience in water warfare, while Dasheng had no water division before, so Xu Fuxing easily got the position of deputy commander of the water division battalion.

Knowing that Sheng Hong was going to tour south, the Xu family put the location of the rebellion on the Grand Canal.

The guards are not good at water warfare, and the terrain of Xiaozhou Mansion is special, as long as the plan is right, then there is a ninety percent chance of success.

But after all, it was not ten percent, so Concubine Xu found a way out for the six princes at the last moment.

In the face of Xu Fuxing's angry rebuke, Concubine Xu did not regret it at all, even if she left the six princes, it would be impossible for the Xu family to succeed, didn't you see that Xu Fuxing and Chen Mei's ship actually sank? !

What does it mean that these two men's boats are inspected and maintained every day, but tonight they were flooded?

It shows that God is on the side of the saints!

There is also the Yulin Gate, which is obviously very strong, after all, the Grand Canal has just been opened, and the Xu family has focused on this gate in order to rebel, and this lock is also often inspected and maintained.

The result?

Tang Dian easily slammed the floodgates open!

God is not on the side of the Xu family, her decision is right!

Concubine Xu and Xu Fuxing, the brother and sister, almost quarreled, Chen Mei knelt on the side, his face was ashen, he thought that he was nine out of ten, but his ship sank.

It's wicked!

At this time, he is very nostalgic for the wind and rain in the past, although it is very hard to collect news, but he is also the head of the secret cabinet, and the power in his hands is not small, and there are many people in his hands......

But it's too late to regret it.

The only thing that awaits him is death.

After finding out the process of the Xu family's rebellion, Sheng Hong was extremely tired.

He lost the mind of the southern tour, stayed in Xiaozhou Mansion for three days, killed the local officials who should be killed, replaced them, and then turned around and returned to Beijing.

Back in Shengjing, Sheng Hong waved a butcher's knife at the Xu family, who had been arrested.

Concubine Xu poisoned Empress Zhou and also harmed the eldest prince, and despite the intercession of the six princes, Sheng Hong still gave her a cup of poisoned wine.

Xu Fuxing, as the mastermind, also had one more charge of intercepting and killing the Seven Princes, and was sentenced to Ling Chi's punishment.

In addition to the Xu family, the secret pavilion also has to change blood.

Sheng Hong didn't know about the Xu family's rebellion this time, and his secret agent disappeared as if he had disappeared, and he didn't provide him with any news. Even if he was sitting in the hall of seeking talent, recalling the situation at that time, Sheng Hong was still a little afraid.

But at this time, news came that there was a huge plague in the three southern provinces.

There were simultaneous outbreaks of plague in Dong Quang Province, Yun Province, and Xi Quang Province, and although local officials carried out a series of measures to control the plague according to the doctor's instructions, the most important point of the plague was that there were not enough local doctors.

Officials from the three provinces requested support from the imperial court.

Sheng Hong is decadent because he is ashamed of the six princes, he doesn't know that the seventh prince has been intercepted and killed, the seventh prince has a lot of little secrets to hide from him, and Chen Mei's betrayal, and he just wants to mess up.

At this moment, when he received the report, he suddenly had the urge to leave the stall.

It's endless, isn't it?

Why do you break things one after another?

Why have there been so many disasters in the past few years?!

Braincase pain.

For the first time, Sheng Hong had the idea of abdicating.

It's not that he can't cope, it's that he doesn't want to cope.

bothered to deal with it, but as a result, his subordinates rebelled, and his son was centrifugal, he really might as well not do anything and learn from his father to play around and be free.

Besides, he is old, and the imperial doctor told him not to work too hard, and he has been taking the health route for several years.

happened to be because of the Xu family's rebellion, Sheng Jun returned to Beijing.

He revealed his thoughts to Sheng Jun.

Sheng Jun understands his frustration at the moment, how can there be two ways in the world, sitting in this position, it is impossible to be worthy of everyone.

But since he is the emperor, the most important thing is to maintain the Dasheng country and the people, and it is absurd to determine the prince according to the courtiers, but there is nothing wrong with it.

If you want to blame, you can only blame heaven for making people.

Blame some people for being too greedy.

But no matter what, he can't be blamed on the emperor.

As for the matter of Empress Zhou, the eldest prince and the seventh prince, he has a lot of opportunities and limited energy, so it is impossible to take care of everything.

In short, Sheng Jun feels that compared to himself, Sheng Hong's father's love is impeccable.

After some persuasion from his father, Sheng Hong wanted to open up.

But no, although there is a dereliction of duty, but he also treats his seven sons sincerely, and today's everything, it is really not to blame him.

But this emperor, he really doesn't want to be it.

It's too much trouble.

In the past, because he could see all the new things in the world, he could hold on no matter how busy he was.

But now there is nothing new under the sun, and he himself is not energetic, so it is better to abdicate early.

So the question is, who to choose as the heir?

The second prince was first excluded by him, this second son just wanted to be rotten, and he couldn't pick up the burden of Dasheng Jiangshan.

As for the younger son, this younger son has been fighting for the throne for his eldest son, so the younger son is also excluded.

Only the fourth son and the eldest son remained.

He first found the four princes and summoned them to the Seeking Talents Palace, where he asked the four princes what they really thought about the throne.

The fourth prince was a little stunned when he heard it at first, and when he was stunned, he was silent, and he was silent for a cup of tea, during which his face changed constantly, frowning for a while and sighing for a while.

Eventually, he shook his head.

He was not very attached to the throne, and now his eldest brother has a deep blood feud and wants to take the throne, so why should he fight.

That's it, it's good to be a prince.

is not so tired, and can continue to shine for Dasheng Jiangshan.

The four princes gave up, and Sheng Hong was left with only one choice.

Although the eldest prince is not in good health, the eldest prince has a good son, and although Sheng Shiyu, the imperial grandson, is young, he is impeccable in all aspects.

Moreover, this little emperor grandson has an excellent relationship with the three little cubs of the Li Qiao family.

Sheng Hong summoned the eldest prince into the palace and discussed the succession with the eldest prince in detail.

But to Sheng Hong's surprise, after listening to his words, the eldest prince shook his head after being silent for a long time.

"Jian'er, do you know what you're doing?" Sheng Hong's brow was furrowed enough to kill a fly.

"My son knows."

The eldest prince spoke in a low voice, he exhaled a long breath, raised the corners of his mouth and smiled as if relieved: "Father, the culprit is punished, my wish has been fulfilled." ”

"With my body, I can't cope with cumbersome government affairs at all, and I want to live a few more years, so I can't take this throne."

Sheng Hong: "......"

He furrowed his eyebrows and carefully observed the face of the eldest son, trying to find evidence of his eldest son's duplicity.

But after a while, he was disappointed.

His eldest son's gaze and expression were extremely calm, allowing him to look at him.

"Jian'er, are you serious?"

"Seriously." The eldest prince looked serious.

"You don't want it, your fourth brother doesn't want it, who is this throne for?"

After these words came out, Sheng Hong suddenly felt ridiculous.
