Rebirth of Glory and Splendour

Junhua led Wei Ruo to Wei Zhao's study, where Wei Zhao and Wei Chongrong had been waiting for a long time.

Wei Ruo walked up to the desk, cupped his hands respectfully and said, "Nephew Wei Ruo has seen Uncle Four."

Wei Zhao nodded with a smile, raised his hand and said, "Ah Ruo, please come and talk."

Wei Ruo thanked him, stepped forward and sat down on the empty side beside Wei Chongrong, and Junhua sat on the other side.

Wei Chongrong looked at him sideways, and asked, "Ah Ruo, how is the princess?" When he was in the palace in the afternoon, Sun Ye resigned early and never came out again, and there was no news from the East Palace, so Wei Chongrong's speculation Whether it makes sense, no one knows at the moment.

Wei Ruo nodded lightly, with a relaxed expression on his face: "My father checked the pulse of the princess and said everything is fine."

Wei Zhao's expression remained unchanged, and he nodded without any trace, thinking that such a situation was only natural.

For the fetus in Xie Xiang's womb, Wei Ming and Jun Feili paid special attention to it, and asked people to take good care of the East Palace.Princess Yuankang and Xie Xiu even went to the palace to accompany Xie Xiang in turn, so it is really outrageous that people can take advantage of the loopholes.

But Wei Chongrong has the shadow of Shangguan Yan in his previous life, and it is not so easy to let go of it. Besides, Shangguan Cha is Princess Zhao, the younger sister-in-law of the Crown Princess. It is really easy for her to meet Xie Xiang. It can be said that it is impossible to guard against. Still a little worried.

Wei Chongrong frowned and thought for a while, then pulled Wei Ruo and asked, "Ah Ruo, did you tell your father about your doubts?" Earlier, Wei Ruo asked him first, which shows that it wasn't because of his previous life. There is prejudice against Shangguan Cha, but something is really wrong.

The corners of Wei Ruo's lips raised slightly, with a smug expression on his face: "Of course I said it, so my father copied the pulse record of the princess, and also took away the leftover medicine dregs from the Eastern Palace decoction. , but the Crown Princess's body is fine right now."

Hearing that Sun Ye was interested, Wei Chongrong's worries eased a little.If Sun Ye has taken action and still can't see the problem, it can only explain two things, either Shangguan Xiang's prescription is too clever, or Shangguan Cha really didn't do anything.

The Empress Dowager died, and the state mourned for a hundred days. During this period, all people in the world wore plain clothes and were not allowed to marry.But after the first seven days, the operation of the court will return to normal, and everyone will start to get busy again.

The successive deaths of Wei Xuan and the Empress Dowager dealt a heavy blow to Wei Ming. During the national mourning period alone, the emperor fell ill twice. Although it was not particularly serious, considering the life expectancy of previous emperors, it still makes people nervous. .

The Dayan Dynasty was established for nearly 300 years, and the oldest emperor was Xiandi Wei Su, who lived to be 70 years old, followed by Emperor Gaozong, Wei Xian, who lived to be 64 years old.Besides, none lived to be 60, and several of them didn't even make it to 50.

Born in Yongjia for 13 years, this year is 47 years old, not too young, but the crown prince passed away, and the position of the East Palace is vacant.Although the king of Xiang has been imprisoned, and only Zhao Wang is the only prince left in the court, many courtiers are still very disturbed that there is no crown prince.

Therefore, as soon as the empress dowager's national funeral was over, some courtiers made a note and asked King Zhao to be the crown prince.

According to the usual practice, as long as the princes of Dayan are not in the vassal state, they can enter the court to practice. For example, King Zhao is in the Ministry of Rites.However, the prince can only go to any one of the six departments, and the prince has his own Zhan Shifu, which is a reduced version of the imperial court.

The education received by ordinary princes and crown princes is different. The previous Wei Xuan was carefully cultivated by Wei Ming since childhood.Now that Wei Xuan is gone, it will be a matter of time before another crown prince is established. If Wei Ming has multiple choices, it would be prudent to choose carefully.

But in fact, there is only one candidate for the prince, and that is Zhao Wang Weilan.It is absolutely normal for the courtiers to wish to establish a crown prince as soon as possible. After all, Wei Lan has not received any special education as a crown prince.

Wei Ming suppressed all the papers requesting to set up a reserve, but did not give any response.

At first, people thought that the emperor was missing the prince, and couldn't bear to have someone take his place too soon.Unexpectedly, from the eighth year of Tai'an to the ninth year of Tai'an, the emperor's health went from bad to worse, and the papers about the establishment of the reserve were handed over, but there was nothing.

As rumors spread that the princess was pregnant with a boy, the uneasy atmosphere in the court intensified.

Could it be that……

Your Majesty is waiting for the crown princess to give birth to a male heir, and he wants to register a grandson?

Thinking of this, many people couldn't sit still.

Dayan has never had the habit of ennobling grandsons. The eldest son of the crown prince is usually directly enshrined as the county king.

The only exception is Wei Yi, the eldest son of Emperor Yingzong. He was granted the title of grandson at birth, but he was not directly succeeded by the grandson. Instead, Emperor Yingzong made him a prince after he ascended the throne. Succession as prince.

On the contrary, the Shenchuan Dynasty, which preceded the Dayan Dynasty, had a precedent for the grandson to ascend the throne directly.But those two unlucky little emperors were both usurped by their uncles shortly after ascending the throne. One was put under house arrest for life, and the other fled overseas.

You know, the two unlucky grandsons of the Shenchuan Dynasty were both canonized by their prince father when he was alive. It's just that the grandfather was too able to live and killed their father, so he passed the throne directly to his grandson.

As for Wei Ming, the crown prince is no longer here, and he had no sons during his lifetime. If he is a posthumous grandson, unless he can have the lifespan of the late emperor and raise the young grandson himself, otherwise, it will be the beginning of disaster.

It's not that the emperor has no sons, so why create such a thing, it's really unnecessary.

Among the governors of the three provinces, Jiang Che, the attendant, is the hereditary King Yongan, his concubine is Xie Xiu, the sister of the concubine, and Shangguanxuan, the minister, is the father of Concubine Zhao. It is self-evident what the two stand for, although They themselves are very restrained.

The remaining Zhongshu Ling Sun Shu, this is an absolute neutral person, follow the emperor in everything.Only this time, Sun Shu couldn't see through Wei Ming's mind anymore, so he had to discuss with Wei Zhao how to deal with it.

Every time Wei Chongrong saw Sun Shu, he felt a sense of pride spontaneously. If he hadn't advised Wei Zhao back then to bring Lu Wang and his wife back to Yujing, the Duke of Guo, who died in the second year of Taiping, would have died a long time ago. is no longer alive.

When Sun Shu saw Wei Zhao, he didn't care about greetings at all, and asked directly, "His Royal Highness, what do you think His Majesty thinks? It is really not a wise move to appoint a grandson..." Wei Ming's physical condition, he is more Anyone needs to be clear.

"Cousin, please be safe and don't be impatient." Compared with Sun Shu, Wei Zhao's expression was obviously more indifferent, "The crown prince has not yet given birth, so it is too early to talk about establishing a grandson. If she gives birth to a Daughter, nothing will happen."

"What if it's a son?" Although Sun Ye never mentioned the gender of the child, based on Sun Shu's understanding of him, most of the concubine is pregnant with a son. inside.

"Your order is hard to disobey." Wei Zhao said without hesitation: "Brother Huang insists on establishing a grandson, how can you and I stop it?" In fact, in Wei Zhao's view, there is nothing wrong with setting up a grandson, the key is that Wei Ming is much more Protect him for a few years, otherwise the young master will become the throne, which will be bad for the country.

Hearing this, Sun Shu sighed, puzzled and said, "Why does Your Majesty dislike King Zhao?" In his opinion, Wei Lan is a low-key and indisputable young man who just lacked experience before. As long as Wei Ming gives him a chance, he can become a successful king Still no problem.

On the contrary, the little baby in the princess's stomach, even if it is really a boy, can be raised safely, not to mention temperament and ability. It may be better than Wei Lan, or it may be far behind him. The variables are too many. Big, it's not good at all right now.

Wei Zhao glanced at Sun Shu, and said in a deep voice, "The emperor's heart is unpredictable, we can easily predict it."

In fact, the reason why Wei Ming refused to make Wei Lan the prince, he told Wei Zhao that he didn't like Wei Lan's character.Wei Lan always considers everyone and everything from the worst point of view, and her countermeasures are always frank.

And what Wei Ming likes is Wei Xuan's glamorous personality, if not, it's better to be as frank as Wei Mao.They are the princes, and they are all descendants, representing the orthodoxy of the imperial court. They should be dignified and magnanimous in their dealings, so as to conform to the orthodoxy of the emperor.

It's just that Wei Zhao obviously couldn't tell Sun Shu, so he could only mention it in one word.

And when Wei Ming talked about this, Wei Zhao didn't dare to ask again, what if Xie Xiang gave birth to a daughter.At that time, Wei Lan is the only option, and the emperor cannot pass the throne to his son.

The car has its own way to the front of the mountain. It is not too late to wait for the princess to give birth to the child before planning for the future.

Wei Zhao's ideas are also the ideas of many people to a certain extent, but in reality, development is not based on human will.

Just after the first month, the emperor suddenly became seriously ill, and his life was dying at one time. Thanks to Lu Wang Neijun's wonderful hands, he saved his life.At this time, there were still two full months before the due date of the Crown Princess, and the situation became very delicate.

When the emperor was seriously ill, all the affairs of the court were entrusted to King Wei Zhao of Qin, and he already had military power in his hands.This also caused a lot of controversy. It is not that the emperor has no princes, and the princes have grown up. Why is it King Qin who manages the government instead of King Zhao.

After all, King Zhao is the direct prince, and it is most legitimate for him to take care of government affairs.It may be that Shangguanxuan exerted pressure, but no one who was not open-eyed jumped out at this time and said "please make King Zhao the prince".
