Chapter 219: Bigan
Chaoge, outside the East Gate.
Looking at the convoy of Hou Suhu of Jizhou who was gradually moving away, and the familiar carriage in the convoy, Zishou was silent for a long time.
With Jizhou Hou Suhu leaving the court after paying homage to Emperor Yi, Zishou's unstarted pursuit plan also went bankrupt - just when he was determined to pursue Su Daji on his own, Jizhou Hou Suhu was going back to Jizhou. And if Su Hu goes back, Su Daji will naturally go back with him.
Standing beside Zi Shou, Ye Xuan looked at Zi Shou, who was very depressed, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly, he didn't expect that Zi Shou's pursuit of Su Daji would fail in this way - but think about it, Su Hu came to the court to pay homage to Emperor Yi according to the convention, and when the visit was completed, Su Hu, as a prince, naturally would not continue to stay in the court.
Looking at Zishou's sullen appearance, Ye Xuan asked, "What are you going to do next?" Don't say that you are going to Jizhou to continue to pursue her, you know, as a prince, you can't leave Chaoge now. So, the truth is, it's impossible to pursue her on your own. Now, even if you don't want toβunless you want to give up on her, you'll have to think about the two approaches I mentioned earlier. Either you go and ask your father to marry you and give you this Sudaji as a concubine, or when you ascend to the throne, you will marry her yourself. β
Zishou looked at the convoy that had gradually disappeared from sight in a daze, hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "If my father wants to marry, she can only be my side room, I don't want to do this." I will wait for me to ascend the throne as king, and then I will personally go to Jizhou to marry her as the queen. β
Looking at Zishou's firm gaze, Ye Xuan nodded lightly: "It's good that you have such a decision." However, you have to think about it, the order of your parents, the words of the matchmaker, if in the middle of this, your father gives you a marriage, what should you do? Or, on the other hand, if during this time, Hou Suhu of Jizhou promised your Su girl to someone else, what should you do? Since you have made a choice, you must think clearly about the possible situations, and don't wait for everything to happen before trying to remedy it, and then you will regret it. β
Hearing Ye Xuan say this, Zishou was suddenly startled, and said with some fear: "Thank you for the teacher's reminder, if it wasn't for the teacher's reminder, Zishou would have almost forgotten such a big event." On the side of the Marquis of Jizhou, Zishou will send someone to Jizhou to keep an eye on, and as for his father's marriage, Zishou can only find a way to refuse. β
"If only you had a good idea. β
With a faint word, Ye Xuan turned around and walked towards the song city.
After taking a deep look at the direction in which the convoy disappeared, Zishou also followed.
............
If in the past, the small group of people at the top of the Chaoge City, those who supported Zishou as the king and those who supported Weizi Qi as the king were five or five open, then after the test of Feiyun Pavilion, the people who supported Zishou already had an absolute advantage- The reason is very simple, firstly, Zishou's amazing performance in the Feiyun Pavilion's test of Emperor Yi to the princes completely overwhelmed Wei Ziqi, resulting in ministers like Prime Minister Shang Rong, Doctor Zhao Qi, Mei Bo, old general Huang Roll, Taishi Wen Zhong and other originally neutral ministers vaguely supported Zishou, and secondly, after the test of Feiyun Pavilion, anyone with a little eyesight can see that Di Yi's attention to this young man is completely above Wei Ziqi. Therefore, the son who originally occupied the advantageous status of the son-in-law was pressured by Wei Ziqi, which can only be said to be a normal thing.
However, although it can be said that he has occupied an absolute disadvantage in the battle for the throne, Wei Ziqi is worthy of being a wise and far-reaching existence since he was a child, even if he is already in such a disadvantageous position, he is still indifferent, and his behavior is still as usual, as if he has not been affected by this matter at all, and occasionally talks to others about Zishou is also praised, and bluntly says that he is not as good as this younger brother. Therefore, although it seems that he is getting farther and farther away from the throne, Wei Ziqi's reputation has not only not been weakened by half a point because of this incident, but has become more and more virtuous because of his humility and indifference. And those who originally supported him rarely changed to Zishou's subordinates, so to speak, although Zishou seems to have the upper hand now, there is still a huge force gathered around Wei Ziqi.
And among the group of people standing beside Wei Ziqi, the leader is Di Yi's own brother, Zishou's imperial uncle, Bigan.
Bigan and Di Yi are both the sons of Taiding, they were smart when they were young, and after Di Yi succeeded to the throne, Bi Gan, who was only twenty years old, sat on the seat of the young master. In the early years, when Emperor Yi was fighting everywhere, whether it was to quell the rebellion of the Zhou tribe or later conquer the Sifang Yi tribe, it was indispensable to do the credit of Bigan. And after the world is decided, the reason why Wei Ziqi was able to compete with Zi Shou, who has the absolutely advantageous status of his son-in-law, in the previous battle for the throne, is of course the reason why Zi Shou is not angry, but Bigan's support still plays a decisive reason. You must know that Di Yi still attaches great importance to the opinions of this talented younger brother.
And after the test of Feiyun Pavilion, due to Zishou's outstanding performance and his identity as a son-in-law, although many people's impression of Zishou has changed, only Bigan is still stubborn that Wei Zi Qi is a more suitable candidate for the king than Zi Shou, and it is precisely because of Bi Gan's strong support that Wei Zi Qi can still maintain a strong cohesion in such an unfavorable situation, and there is always a considerable force gathered around him.
However, after the test of Feiyun Pavilion, Zi Shou as the king can be said to be the general trend, even if Bigan is unwilling to admit it, but he also understands in his heart that it is impossible to change the situation with the power of Wei Ziqi and himself, so Bigan who is still unwilling to give up can't help but put his eyes on Chaoge.
As one of the biggest heroes of Emperor Yi's conquest of the Quartet, although Bigan had a huge influence in Chaoge, his real influence was not in Chaoge, but in the princes of the Quartet - in fact, Bigan maintained an extremely good relationship with many princes, including many powerful princes, such as Dongbohou Jiang Huanchu, such as Xibohou Jichang - In the second year after Di Yi succeeded to the throne, the Zhou tribe rebelled, and later although Di Yi defeated the Zhou tribe, not only did he not destroy the Zhou tribe, but instead married his sister to Ji Changlai, the leader of the Zhou tribe.
It's just that in view of the extremely sensitive identity of the Zhou tribe commanded by Xibo Hou Ji Chang, even if Bigan wants to use external forces to help Wei Ziqi, he will not be dizzy enough to ask Ji Chang to help, so what he wants to find this time is another prince who also has huge power, Dong Bohou Jiang Huan Chu.
