Fu Tang

It is about the prince's child, and there are many people who pay attention to the prince's concubine, Li Congjia is no exception.

Although Li Congjia didn't think that this child must be a young man, but if it was true, it was related to the continuity of the country, which cannot be ignored.

So it was almost as soon as the East Palace called Feng Yu over, Li Congjia knew about it.

When he knew it, Li Congjia was getting tired of Shi Xueting, but he didn't want to talk about love for a moment, but he didn't go to the East Palace right away.

After all, it is not suitable, he might as well wait for the news here.

After the initial surprise, Li Congjia couldn't help but start conspiracy theories: "It was fine before, could it be that someone in the East Palace has dirty hands and feet?"

But Shi Xueting said: "All the things used by the Crown Princess are carefully selected, and the people around are also honest and reliable. Even if there are people with dirty hands and feet, they will not be able to reach the Crown Princess."

Li Congjia frowned: "Then why..."

Shi Xueting reassured: "There are unpredictable things in the sky, even if you are always careful, you may not be able to keep safe."

This is what he can say, otherwise, although it is true, it is too unpleasant. When Li Congjia is obviously unhappy, no one dares to touch this brow.

After finishing this sentence, Shi Xueting added another sentence: "Besides, Feng Yu has already gone, so there must be no serious problems."

Li Congjia frowned: "I hope so."

As a result, not long after Shi Xueting finished speaking, news came from the East Palace: The Crown Princess had a miscarriage.

This child... was not saved after all.

However, Feng Yu also found out the matter - the food the princess ate today contained a small amount of hawthorn, and the incense she ordered also contained musk.

The combination of these two caused the child to leave this world before he was born.

Li Congjia was furious when he learned about it, and called Li Zhongyu over directly.

At this time, Li Zhongyu looked a little downcast. Although he was a bit fickle, he still loved his wife sincerely. No matter which woman he favored, he never thought of letting them take the place of his wife, and he couldn't.

And he paid more attention to this unborn child. Now that the child is gone, he has been hit no less than the Crown Princess - it is said that the Crown Princess has cried into tears after waking up.

After Li Zhongyu came, he was startled when he saw Li Congjia's face, and he knelt down before his father could speak.

Li Congjia was taken aback by his kneeling, and his anger subsided slightly, but his tone was still not very good: "Tell me, what are you going to do next?"

The miscarriage of the crown princess is a big deal. After Li Congjia knew the reason, he knew that someone must have tampered with it. However, Shi Xueting just said that there are people in the East Palace who are strictly guarded, and they are all selected by the crown prince. In this case If something goes wrong, don't you blame Li Zhongyu?

Of course, some people may think that the prince does not care about the affairs of the backyard, and these are the responsibility of the princess.

However, it took only half a year for the Crown Princess to marry, and it took half a year to control the entire East Palace.

Li Zhongyu was so frightened by his father that he shivered, put aside his sadness, gritted his teeth and said, "I will definitely explain this to father."

Li Congjia took a long breath: "You don't want to explain to me, but to yourself."

After finishing speaking, I don't plan to intervene in this matter. After all, it is the matter of the Eastern Palace. Li Congjia has too much control, which will have a bad influence and make people feel that the prince is too incompetent.

However, after thinking about it, he still pointed out: "We must find out as soon as possible. After this happened, that person will definitely find a way to get away quickly. If it is too late, he may not be able to find out anything."

Li Zhongyu was startled, and nodded vigorously, just now he was patronizing and saddening his unborn child, and almost forgot about it.

Li Congjia didn't intend to say anything more, but before Li Zhongyu left, he said: "The princess has undergone a big change, you need to comfort her a lot."

Li Zhongyu naturally agreed, and after he left, Li Congjia sighed.

Shi Xueting comforted: "Don't worry, even if the crown prince can't find out anything, Tao Yun is still here."

When Tao Yun was allowed to go there, he just wanted to let him get in touch with the prince, but he never expected that it would come in handy.

Li Congjia shook his head and said, "That's not what I'm worried about, I'm just worried about the Crown Princess."

Shi Xueting looked at him a little strangely: "You... care about her so much?"

Li Congjia heard something wrong, and couldn't help rolling his eyes: "What nonsense are you talking about? I just think she is so young, and she might hurt her body if she encounters such a thing."

In fact, when Li Congjia heard that the princess was pregnant, Li Congjia was worried.

How old is the princess this year?The full count is 15 and a half years old. Pregnancy and childbirth at this age are really very harmful to the body. Now she has a miscarriage, coupled with sadness... Li Congjia doesn't know how this little girl will survive.

It's just that no matter how worried he is, he has to restrain himself—since the famous love story between Tang Minghuang and Yang Guifei came out, the father-in-law and daughter-in-law have to avoid taboos.

Li Congjia turned his head and said to Shi Xueting: "You can remind Tao Yun to help Dalang, this matter looks strange no matter how you look at it, don't ignore what caused people to be wronged."

In fact, putting aside whether he was wronged or not, if Li Congjia could vomit to death because he let the murderer get away with it because of a momentary carelessness—killed his grandson or granddaughter, would he still want to be peaceful?Do you really think he won't kill?

The news of the crown prince's miscarriage quickly spread, and many ministers in the court felt a thump in their hearts. Although the emperor only had one son, the position of the crown prince may not be so stable. stable.

Now that the child died young, could something have changed in the palace?

They thought more than Li Congjia. Previously, Li Congjia thought only of the struggle in the backyard of the Eastern Palace which caused the princess to have a miscarriage, but the courtiers thought a little more—could it be the two unborn concubines in His Majesty's harem who were causing trouble?

As for the almost public relationship between the emperor and the national teacher, everyone didn't take it seriously. There have been many emperors who practiced the foundation throughout the ages, and I haven't seen a few emperors who will never be born because of the foundation. Didn't they pamper men and give birth to sons?

Li Congjia didn't know that his harem was also suspected, and he was waiting for the results of Li Zhongyu's investigation.

Only this time, Li Zhongyu punished everyone before he came to report to him—the maids around the princess were fined their salaries, the palace maid Luzhu and Princess Karahan were grounded, and all the maids around them were all punished. kill.

Li Congjia was quite surprised when he heard it: "It's really the ghost of those two women? But... how is it possible?"

Although he doesn't know much about the East Palace, Li Congjia also knows that the pregnant maid Lvzhu has always been handled by the crown princess, and Princess Karakhan Asuma has been very honest after entering the East Palace. Made a big death without making a sound?

And it's still two people... Are the two of them teaming up?

Li Congjia was puzzled and waited for Li Zhongyu to report to him, but when Li Zhongyu came over, he kowtowed and said, "My son is wrong, please punish him."

Li Congjia asked, "What did you find out?"

Li Zhongyu gritted his teeth and said: "It's those two sluts...they...they actually treat the princess..."

Li Congjia raised his hand to stop his abuse and said, "Let's start from the beginning."

Of course, it was impossible for Li Zhongyu to recount it completely, so Yuan Bao, who had been following him all the time, stood up and told the whole thing.

In Yuanbao's mouth, Luzhu and Asuma are ambitious. Asuma wants to be a princess, and Luzhu wants to make her son the eldest son or even Li Zhongyu's only son. However, these two people did not join forces. The reason why it was found out was because they had been trying to use each other to kill the princess.

Luzhu knew that her status was low, she was just a court lady, and it was basically impossible for the crown prince to become the emperor, but she still had ideas in her heart. After all, everyone knows the story of Wu Zetian, and the concubine of the first emperor can be Empress, although she is a court lady, she is also a good family member, why can't she do it?

It's just that Asuma came here at this time, which made her feel very dangerous. Asuma is a princess. Once she defeats the princess, it must be Asuma who will benefit, so Luzhu wants to Borrowing a knife to kill someone kills two birds with one stone.

I have to say that coming up with this method is probably the pinnacle of Luzhu's wisdom in this life. No one knows how she and Asuma fought each other. I only know that Luzhu gave Asuma some food, and specially ordered it. There is hawthorn in it, which is not suitable for her own child, so she gave it to Asuma, along with incense with musk, which happened to be a favorite of Asuma, so she lit the incense at that time.

As a result, after Luzhu left, the princess concubine came over. Although Asuma entered the East Palace incognito, she was a princess after all. The thing was given to the Crown Princess, and she didn't even replace the incense. She didn't think it would be so accurate.

It turned out to be so small, and the princess saw Hong after a short time.

After Li Congjia heard the whole thing, he always felt that something was wrong, but since Li Zhongyu had already dealt with it, he couldn't ask any more questions, otherwise it would appear as if he didn't trust the prince.

Li Congjia asked: "Just grounding?"

Li Zhongyu understood: "Lvzhu... After all, Luzhu has the flesh and blood of a son, and the son decided to hold the child to the crown princess when the child is born, and leave the mother to keep the child."

Such a scourge is unacceptable, but the prince's children cannot be disposed of at will.

If it is said that Luzhu saved her life by relying on the child in her stomach, then Asuma was because of identity issues. Li Zhongyu dared to bring her here at the beginning, mainly because he felt that the Kara Khanate was not big and its national strength was not strong. And maybe it won't be long before he will be beaten by his father, so it's not a drop in price for their princess to be the prince's concubine.

But letting someone be a concubine does not mean that you can kill him casually, or that Li Zhongyu needs to ask Li Congjia, if he is sure there is no problem, he will definitely not keep Asuma.

It's just that Li Zhongyu didn't know how to mention this matter, but before he could mention it, Li Congjia said: "Do as you like."

This Asuma really touched Li Congjia's back scale. She ran to Shi Xueting's room before. Although it was a misunderstanding, it also made Li Congjia and Shi Xueting feel uncomfortable, that is, she felt uncomfortable with a little lady. He cared too much, so he didn't pursue it, and now he killed his future grandson, it can't be tolerated!

Li Zhongyu knew Li Congjia's attitude immediately, and after returning home, a bowl of poison potion ended the life of this foreign beauty.

After Li Congjia learned about it, he felt that after this incident, Li Zhongyu had a sense of killing and decisiveness, but it was still a little bit short.

As a prince, he not only needs to know the political affairs, but also needs to take a look at the affairs in the backyard. He has Tao Yun by his side. If he uses it properly, this matter may not be able to happen!

Hearing Li Congjia's argument, Shi Xueting couldn't help but smile wryly: "People in the intelligence department can't do everything, and Tao Yun may not be able to foretell."

Li Congjia insisted: "Then we will know some signs."

Shi Xueting pondered for a while but said: "This matter is strange. After the princess became pregnant, she was careful in everything. Why was she so careless? She would eat whatever Asuma gave her? And musk...even if she smells If not, the maid beside her should also know."

The young lady of the big family has received a comprehensive education since she was a child, and one of them is the blending of incense. She doesn't know everything about incense, but she must know a thing or two about musk, which has a lot of taboos.

But the Crown Princess didn't seem to notice anything, and she didn't look on guard. Could it be that the Crown Princess is a fool?

Li Congjia also felt strange when he heard what Li Zhongyu said before, so he said now: "You think...is weird? Could it be that Da Lang lied?"

Shi Xueting shook his head: "It may not be that Da Lang lied, I'll ask someone to find out later."

Li Congjia didn't ask again, after all, the matter had already happened, and Li Zhongyu had made a decision, so the matter had already been turned over, even if something was wrong, he could only hold back.

It's just that Li Congjia didn't expect that the facts will always surprise him.

After Shi Xueting knew the truth, the first thing she said to Li Congjia when she came back was: "Duke Qin's daughter... is really not easy."

Li Congjia was a little surprised: "What do you say? What did the princess do?"

Shi Xueting said with a smile: "You never imagined that this matter was actually planned by the Crown Princess from the beginning to the end."

Li Congjia's first reaction was disbelief: "Impossible."

He might believe that the Crown Princess has a scheming heart, but no matter how crazy the Crown Princess is, she can't make fun of the child. As long as she gives birth to this child, her position will be unprecedentedly stable. It doesn't matter if she is a girl. As long as there is no problem, she can always give birth to a son.

Shi Xueting naturally knew why Li Congjia didn't believe it, he smiled and said: "It is indeed impossible for the Crown Princess to bet on her unborn child, but what if this child is destined not to survive?"

Li Congjia repeated: "Doomed not to survive? What do you mean?"

Shi Xueting said: "I asked Tao Yun to have a look and ask Feng Yu, just as you worried, the concubine is too young, the birth was a bit difficult at the beginning, but a few days ago, I found that this child is very likely He couldn't give birth, but the princess told him to keep quiet, so he didn't say anything."

Li Congjia pondered: "You mean, the princess made a time difference and designed the green beads and Asuma?"

Shi Xueting hugged him and said: "It's not really a design, Asuma has evil intentions in the first place, as for the green pearl... Naturally, it's not that simple, the princess told her the news that her child will die soon, This made her believe that as long as her child is born, she will be the heir of the prince in the future."

The corner of Li Congjia's mouth twitched: "She...is she a fool?"

Even if the concubine couldn't keep this baby, it proved that she could give birth. As long as there is no injury, there is always hope. After all, she is only 15 years old, and there is still a lot of time in the future. How can she give up now and let a bastard come? To be the husband's heir?

Shi Xueting only said one thing about this: "Lvzhu can't read."

Li Congjia understood in seconds, well, illiterates are not always so smart, or it can’t be said that IQ is not high, it’s just because reading less restricts vision and thinking, so she didn’t think about this problem, of course there is another saying that Li Lingzhi faints.

All in all, the green beads were used in this way. In fact, the princess didn’t tell the green beads at the beginning that she wanted to use the children as a bet. The green beads only thought that there was something wrong with the food. Assuma might die after eating it. Who knew that the crown princess would kill two birds with one stone?

Assuma has indeed returned to Lihentian now, and Lu Zhu and others gave birth to a child. If they are lucky, they may be demoted to a humble status. If they are unlucky, they can only wait for death.

After Li Congjia knew the ins and outs of the whole incident, he couldn't help feeling like Shi Xueting: "Zhao Kuangyin raised a good daughter."

Originally, Li Congjia was worried that this little girl would not be able to adapt to the palace, especially Li Zhongyu seemed to be a little bit low in women's integrity, but he didn't affect the business, so Li Congjia could only turn a blind eye, of course The most important thing is that there are currently three women around Li Zhongyu, not many, and he can't find opportunities for education.

If there are more women, there will be more fights. Thinking about Li Congjia's harem, there were incidents at the beginning. Although the disturbances were not very big, both Luzhu and Asuma were bigger than the princess.

But now it seems that the princess is still young, and she is full of scheming and wrists.

At this time, Li Congjia remembered that Zhao Kuangyin's backyard...was not very peaceful. He and his wife respected each other like guests, and Zhao Kuangyin also had one or two women whom he loved very much. days to go.

If you want to clean up Qin Guogong's family, it may not be because of Zhao Kuangyin's good morals, it may be that Qin Guogong's wife is superb.

As the daughter of Mrs. Qin Guogong's wife, the crown princess is probably in the same line.

Thinking of this, Li Congjia suddenly said: "Why do I feel... I need to remind Da Lang not to underestimate women?"

Li Congjia was a little bit tangled, Datang's girl was really tough, and he was really worried that in the future Li Zhongyu would play off and annoy the Crown Princess, who would directly kill him.

After hearing this, Shi Xueting chuckled lightly: "You still treat Da Lang as a child?"

Can the prince who can be praised by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty be a waste?He may not be unable to take care of the affairs of the back house, or he just doesn't want to take care of it, maybe he just believes in the princess.

Seeing that Li Congjia seemed to be a little worried, Shi Xueting said, "Tao Yun found out about this matter and told me. He knew about it. The prince might not know about it, but the prince didn't respond."

Li Congjia: ...

He felt that he should not intervene in the matter of the young couple. Anyway, knowing that the child would not be able to keep it sooner or later, Li Congjia's anger subsided a little, leaving only regret, and at the same time said: "I just said it." It's not good to get married too early, Zhao Kuangyin insisted on urging, which made me have to choose a date in advance."

Li Congjia's original intention was to wait for the prince to be 20 years old and get married when the princess was the concubine, which would be good for both of them, but Zhao Kuangyin's urging of the marriage was too terrifying, and all civil and military officials in the court knew that Qin Guogong was waiting to marry his daughter.

Li Congjia can refuse once, but if the number of rejections is too high, it will inevitably lead to some thoughts, such as the royal family regretting the marriage or something. Before that, Shi Xueting had discovered that some families were ready to move, and wanted to let the little lady in the family compete for the crown princess. up.

In desperation, Li Congjia had no choice but to marry the two children, but in the end... nothing happened?

Shi Xueting kissed him and said: "Everyone has his own fate, you can't force it."

Li Congjia thought about it, and then he said seriously: "But there is still a very important thing to do now."

Shi Xueting's hand began to loosen Li Congjia's belt dishonestly, Li Congjia quickly held him down and said, "You...what are you thinking about?"

Originally, he wanted to ask you what you were doing, but when he thought of Shi Xueting's classic answer, he changed his words halfway.

Shi Xueting raised his eyebrows: "The flowers are before the moon and the moon is under, and the fragrance is floating. Is there anything more important than Zhou Gong's gift?"

Li Congjia couldn't laugh or cry: "Can you be serious? I'm serious, is there still a stronghold of the Ministry of Intelligence in the Kara Khanate?"

Shi Xueting raised his eyebrows: "Of course, what's wrong?"

Li Congjia was a little surprised: "Did Musa not notice?"

Shi Xueting shook his head: "He believes in his Allah."

Li Congjia understood in seconds, because Musa used religion to rule the country and brainwashed the people very badly, so he felt that no one would betray the country, betray Allah and join the enemy.

Shi Xueting asked again: "What? You want to find out about Asuma?"

Li Congjia nodded: "Well, although the palace has been keeping it secret, what if? If Musa knows that Asuma died at the hands of Dalang, the battle may have to be brought forward."

But Shi Xueting said: "Musa may not know, but I think you can use this reason to let the Privy Council prepare first, and the cabinet will probably not object."

Li Congjia kissed him loudly and said, "You are so smart."

But when Li Congjia finished speaking, he realized that he was seriously talking about the situation between the two countries just now, and Shi Xueting had already untied his belt in silence!

Seeing that Li Congjia finally came to his senses, Shi Xueting chuckled and got up and hugged him as he walked towards the inner room and said, "It's late at night, it's time to settle down."

Li Congjia: ...

But because the next day was the Xiaochaohui, Shi Xueting asked Li Congjia very gently to go to bed earlier.

When the Xiaochao meeting was held, Li Congjia really said: "Asuma died in the Tang Dynasty. If Musa knew that he would not let it go, the Privy Council is ready to transfer troops."

The cabinet ministers glanced at each other, but they didn't say anything.

This time, no one accused Li Congjia or Li Zhongyu of provoking trouble. They didn't know that the death of the emperor's grandson was planned by the crown princess. From the perspective of outsiders, it was the crown princess who took good care of Princess Karahan. The grandson of the emperor must be severely punished!

Even if one life is paid for one life, the ministers feel that it is not enough, what is Princess Karahan?The one who died was the emperor's eldest grandson!

When the Crown Princess was pregnant, everyone thought it would be great if it was a boy, but now they all think it is a boy. Asuma's death...is another kind of expectation.

Hubu Shangshu was very active in planning which granary to deliver the grain and grass. By the way, he wanted to contact the Privy Council to see who would deliver the grain and grass.

Therefore, Li Congjia tentatively asked the Privy Council to prepare for the war against the Kara Khanate. As a result, these ministers were very active and directly transitioned from preparation to execution. The posture seemed to be that the army would be dispatched tomorrow!

Li Congjia was stunned. He really rarely saw such a concerted effort by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. Come to think of it... the death of the emperor's eldest grandson made them hang their hatred on the Kara Khanate.

After all, the protection of Tang Dynasty from top to bottom, because some fishermen were killed, let Li Congjia's new and old hatred add up and directly send troops to destroy Japan. Now in the mind of the minister, the Kara Khanate must be destroyed to pay homage to the emperor eldest grandson.

Li Congjia said to this, as long as you are happy.

All the following procedures are very easy, and the people below are doing their best. Within ten days, the route has been planned, and the place for the army to gather has also been set. The only thing that needs to be considered is who will lead the army. .

Whenever there is a war, the Privy Council's memorials will be several times more than usual, and this time is no exception.

However, this time there was destined to be an unusual book, and that book clearly expressed the hope that the prince could lead an army to go with the army.

Li Congjia was taken aback when he saw this, and then looked at the name: Zhao Kuangyin.
