Qianqianjie, kidnap a reborn prince back to the modern era

In the palace.

The queen ordered someone to prepare some tonic food and then went to the imperial study with a group of palace maids.

"Eunuch Wang, please pass the message on for me."

Today, the Queen finally discussed a solution with the Crown Prince regarding the issue that had been weighing on her mind, and she was in a very good mood.

She stood in the corridor with a smile on her face, waiting to be called.

"Yes, I will report it right away."

Half a quarter of an hour later, Eunuch Wang came back.

"Your Majesty, please come in."

Queen Xia took the food box from the head palace maid and went into the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, I have prepared some tonic for you. Drink it while it's hot."

"Okay, put it down. I'll drink it later."

Cang Hantian closed the memorial on the table, sat up straight, and looked at the queen who was walking towards him with graceful steps.

She was not like Concubine Song, who only had herself in her eyes and heart. She could always understand his mood and tiredness, and give him some space to relax and feel at ease when necessary.

Every time she came to his side, she always had some plan, but she was self-righteous and thought that others couldn't see it, and there was a gleam in her eyes that could not be hidden.

However, the Xibohou Mansion was very powerful, and he seemed to be unable to suppress it.

In recent days, he was very worried that once the crown prince, who was as stupid and ignorant as his mother, ascended the throne, the empire he had worked so hard to build would be passed down to the Xia family.

It's all his fault. In the early years, he fell into the scheme of others and got rid of the loyal and brave Dongbohou Mansion too early. In recent years, he allowed the Xibohou Mansion to grow bigger, lost the check and balance, and raised a real tiger.

"Your Majesty, I have something I would like to ask you for advice on."

"You say it."

Cang Hantian withdrew his thoughts and wanted to see his queen. What was he planning?

"Your Majesty, Shuang'er is old. She came to the palace a few days ago and told me that she has a deep affection for Prince Sheng Cangyu, and Prince Sheng also has a lot of affection for her. The two are of similar age, and I think the two children are well matched, so I want to grant them a marriage and make this marriage happen. What do you think?"

Cangyu, Prince Sheng, if you marry the eldest daughter of the Xibohou Mansion, then the situation on the prince's side will be really stable.

Good calculation.

A few days ago, King Sheng used the tactic of competition for positions to undermine the power of the Third Battalion of the Capital Defense Camp, which had been dominated by the Xibohou Mansion for decades. Now, shouldn't his son be irreconcilable with the Xibohou Mansion?

Emperor Dong Cang frowned secretly, and slowly clenched his hands under the table. He was struggling in his heart about what decision to make next.

"The two children have feelings for each other?" Cang Hantian followed the Queen's words and asked in confusion.

"Yes, they got to know each other during the Flower Festival and were very fond of each other."

Cang Hantian looked at the queen's false smile and calculated silently in his heart.

If Prince Sheng was fond of the young lady from Marquis Xibo's Mansion, why did he act so ruthlessly this time, taking back almost all the military power that was actually controlled by Marquis Xibo's Mansion?

He was very fortunate that Cangyu asked for permission late that night, and at the cost of his own life, asked him to acquiesce or support his reforms to the Gyeonggi Defense Camp.

Although he didn't know what reform was, he was still happy to see it happen if he could touch the power of Xibohou Mansion in the military camp.

Of course, if he fails, he can still push his son out, and the situation will not be much different from the current one. It’s just that some things will be more difficult to plan.

But once it succeeds, the great threat of Xibohou Mansion will be eradicated, so of course he will support it.

He chose to acquiesce and has been paying attention to the changes in the military camp these days.

Cangyu gradually regained the sphere of influence of Xibohou Mansion, and was very astute to continue to retain the Central Camp that originally belonged to him. He was still very sure of his son's approach, which showed that the three years of experience on the battlefield was of great help to him. It was a pity that he was not close to him.

Now, the situation between Cangyu and Xibohou Mansion is tense. At this time, the Queen's proposal of granting a marriage must be the Prince's idea.

Emperor Dong Cang felt a chill in his heart.

Crown Prince Cangxun is neither good at literature nor martial arts. He only thinks of taking shortcuts in doing things, is easily influenced by others, and has no courage. He is definitely not the best candidate to be entrusted with the throne in this chaotic world.

Forget it, let’s see what the queen will do next.

Cangyu came out of a world of swords and sabers, and he has a stubborn temper. It is not easy for the Queen and the Crown Prince to control him.

If he is granted a marriage and he disagrees, he might poke a hole in the sky and then confront Xibohou Mansion head-on. It is what he needs to weaken Xibohou Mansion again.

If he accepted the arranged marriage, his relationship with Xibohou Mansion would be confirmed in the future. Even if the crown prince was weak, Xibohou Mansion would have to get through his son first if it wanted to change the situation. It would not be easy for Xia Family to seize the world from Cang Family.

After thinking about it, he put on a smiling face, took the queen's hand and said, "It's up to you. You have the final say on children's affairs."

Queen Xia was flattered and quickly knelt down in greeting.

"Then I will go back and draft an imperial decree to grant them marriage."

Early the next morning.

An imperial decree granting marriage was sent to Prince Sheng's Mansion and Marquis Xibo's Mansion respectively.

Everyone in the court knew the news in an instant, and speculated how the situation would change.

Everyone was guessing, calculating, and making plans silently.

Prince Ning and Concubine Song were the most frightened.

In the imperial study room.

Cangyu knelt upright. Half an hour had passed, and the emperor was still reviewing memorials, occasionally raising his old eyes and glancing at him.

"Your Majesty, please withdraw your order!"

As soon as he entered the room, he knelt on the ground, holding the imperial edict in his hands.

Just this one sentence, and then he closed his mouth like a clam.

Cangyu's attitude was beyond the old emperor's expectations.

He had imagined that if he was unhappy, he might resort to force to resolve the issue privately, and then bring the issue to him, and he would deal with him appropriately depending on the circumstances.

If he really loves her as the queen said, then he will reduce his rights during his lifetime. As for the future, he still believes in him and will consider himself a member of the Cang family.

However, he did not expect that he would kneel here and directly refuse the marriage proposal.

"The decree has been issued. If you do not accept it, then go and kneel outside."

Hearing the voice, Cangyu stood up, turned around with big strides, pushed the door and left.

The old emperor raised his eyes quietly, looked at the closed door that blocked his figure, and sighed helplessly.

What else can I do if I don’t agree?

Is it possible for everyone to live the life they want every day?

Sitting in this position, there are some things he can't do, right?

"Follow and have a look."

The old emperor glanced at Eunuch Wang, who was looking at his nose with his eyes and his mouth with his nose.

"Yes!"

After a stick of incense.

Eunuch Wang came back jogging, with a light hint of sweat on his forehead.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Sheng..."

"What's up with him?"

"His Royal Highness Prince Sheng is kneeling in the corridor outside the Council Hall. The palace servants coming and going and the officials who have not yet left their posts are all watching him."

"Ha! He does know how to find a place."

Cang Hantian leaned back in the large dragon chair, closing his eyes in deep thought.

Well, I can use this opportunity to see the reaction of Xibohou Mansion.

"Just let him kneel there. Just pretend you didn't see anything."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Eunuch Wang responded cautiously.

What’s the point if he didn’t see it? Before long, everyone will see it. How will this end?
