For the emperor

The envoy of Qi Guolai will be a big trouble no matter who is handed over to it.If you neglect others if you don’t handle it well, and the peace talks are broken, you are a sinner of the country and the nation; if you handle it too well, they will call you brothers and sisters, and you will be as close as one person. An enemy of the people who is collaborating with the enemy and traitorous to the country.

Cang Kingdom has institutions and political councils that specialize in the placement of envoys from other countries, but the control of officials in this department is generally not high.An envoy is a high-risk, low-reward profession. Not to mention that many envoys were detained during the politically sensitive period, even if they walked on the road for three or four months. People can't do this job either, so envoys are generally official positions of the fifth or sixth rank.The status of envoys sent by foreign countries is generally not high, and the person in charge of entertaining naturally does not need such a noble and detached status.

But today is different from the past, this time the situation is a bit special.Uncle Qi Guoguo and the third prince came hand in hand, Cangguo can't just point out a small fish or shrimp to entertain others, he has to choose someone of equal status.

Thanks to the blessing of the Cang family's more than a dozen generations of single-line inheritance, there are not many people of the right age among the emperor's clan, and even fewer people can get their hands on it. The matter has to be traced back, and a certain generation of Cang Tiansu's ancestors was killed. The brothers are not at ease, and they can't always take the sisters to the knife, but it is also very uncomfortable to see a large group of capable nephews by their side.

He was fine when he was young, and when the emperor was old, there were fewer things to worry about, especially when the eighth son of Emperor Chengguo killed his elder brother to sit on the throne himself, so he slowly began to think, what if my descendants A worthless person became the emperor, a licentious person is not a good thing, and he killed all his brothers first. If these officials overthrow the old emperor, who will be elected as the new emperor for the sake of righteousness?

——There is no need to choose, these nephews who are close by blood and capable in themselves are ready-made candidates.

The more the old emperor thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, so he thought of a dirty trick. A capable nephew is not reassuring, but a nephew who can't do it will always make people sleep peacefully, right?So from this generation onwards, the emperors of the Cang Kingdom raised their nephews in the same way as farmers raised pigs for meat.

Emperor Jing was at his leisure, so he asked people to send the list of surviving clan relatives to Hezhengyuan, and let them choose by themselves. Tears rolled down.

Terrible reminder, how can these people be capable of serious errands, don't talk about receiving foreign envoys, lead them out and stand in line for a walk, look at the three chins, look at the big belly, just the shiny face Only one-third of the face can be seen and some human figures can be seen. The ancestors of the Cang family can be ashamed and thrown to the country of Qi.

The old steward who was nearly seventy years old tremblingly entered the booklet and respectfully invited the holy judge. Emperor Jing didn't make things difficult for him, and sat on the dragon chair and thought for a while: "Although it is not in compliance with the rules, I will give him a grace. I will leave this matter to the Duan family." boy."

At that time, the left and right prime ministers were all accompanied by the driver, Lian Bing and the old steward of the Political Yuan, and the three of them all greeted the ancestors of the Cang family in their stomachs.Prime Minister Zuo was in charge of the Hezhengyuan, and the old steward kept winking at his boss.

But this kind of thankless thing can't be ignored. The left minister was so embarrassed that he hesitated for a long time before saying: "Your Majesty, I beg your majesty to think twice." After negotiating and negotiating the terms, it's fine, you still have to send a general of the Northwest Army who has a deep hatred between the two sides; Eat it?

Cang Jinglan was obviously stunned for a moment, and the surprise on his face couldn't be faked at all: "Isn't it appropriate? Duan Aiqing is my concubine's concubine, so in terms of status, isn't it better than a prince from a defeated country?"

Having said all this, Prime Minister Zuo's scalp felt numb when he heard it, and he didn't have the guts to tell the emperor directly that your son-in-law is really heartless. Full of doubts, I went home to discuss with my staff.

Why did things change when I woke up from sleep? Yesterday, the first prince was so diligent and earnestly admired by me. He just became a prince. Why did he throw away such a hot potato today?You turned your face too fast, didn't you?

——Well, can't eat and sleep, can't you?

Should!

After approving the memorial, Emperor Cang Jing tasted tea and admired the flowers, went to Yilong Hall to see Concubine Jin who was pregnant with a son and daughter, and began to look at the files presented on the case triumphantly.

Emperor Jing was suffocating his anger earlier. These old idiots, receiving the salary I gave, lived in the house I rewarded, and played with the woman I gave them. How dare they plan on the children I gave birth to?A bunch of idiots, dirty tricks won't make you look better, so I have to clean up for you!

At this time, the detailed process of the black trick incident that made Jingdi very angry was placed on Cang Tiansu's table.The eldest prince of Cang Kingdom held his chin but looked extremely cautious.

Now that Duan Yu has been conferred the title of eldest princess consort, smart people can see the way in which it happened. The eldest prince must have done something good or bad. Don't think about it, it must have been done by someone sent by the eldest prince.Directly ignoring himself and attacking the eldest princess, such a clever way of framing the princess does not seem like a trick that the Liu family could think of.

Now the emperor has a total of eight sons, the second prince Cang Tianci and the third prince Cang Tianrui are both under the name of the empress; Cang Tianrong is a twin brother of the same mother, but their biological mother gave birth to two sons and is just a mediocre concubine with little power in the mother's family; the seventh prince is disabled, but his mother Concubine Jin is now pregnant again If there is a child, it may not be without strength in the future; the eighth prince lost his mother after birth, and was raised under the name of Concubine Yi.

Cang Tiansu asked himself that he had never offended the Zuoxiang family in his life, even if he was not careful, he would not force them to take action at the cusp of the storm, even if he was afraid of his power, and the Queen's family was on top, it would not be his turn Concubine Yi jumped out.

——Which song is this singing?The woman in the palace had nine knots in one intestine, Cang Tiansu was at a loss for a long time, staring at the thin pages for three sticks of incense, and finally decided to put this matter aside.

He really didn't understand much about the Yin Division of the palace, for example, when the empress provoked Liu Guangyan to go to the cold palace to moles him, Cang Tiansu didn't understand what it meant even now.

Not to mention that there are countless eyeliners coming and going in the palace, there may be a long-sighted concubine who wants to extend an olive branch to an insignificant eldest son of the emperor, the possibility of Liu Guangyan succeeding is not very high.So what if you succeed?

If you go out and publicize this matter everywhere, the heavens will be ashamed, but it will really save the emperor's face. No matter how unsympathetic the son is, he is also his own flesh and blood.But if you don't publicize it, Cang Tiansu will treat it as if he was bitten by a dog at most, and let it go after a few days of nausea. They are all men, so why would he beat him to death because of this?

What, you said that the Liu family humiliated me just out of disgust?Cang Tiansu didn't think in this direction at all, took such a big risk, could it be that the Liu family just hid under the covers and had fun for a while just to take a chance?

Another example is now, since the pros and cons can be seen at a glance, Cang Tiansu understands that once the princess dies, he will be speechless, so he never thought that such a stupid trick could be sold to him by others.

Concubine Yi lay on her side on the ebony embossed imperial concubine couch, her almond eyes were full of love and tenderness as she looked at her son who came to pay her respects after school.

Cang Tianxuan is a portrait of her mother. She is handsome, talented and talented in poetry and prose. In addition, she is the only parent and child. She has always been a treasure in her heart. Every time Concubine Yi looked at it, she was full of joy and pride .

But since the Northwest Army returned to Beijing three months ago, she had something in her heart, and when she looked at her outstanding son, she was already full of worries.

Now there is a noble concubine under the empress in the palace, three concubines and six concubines, and the rest promise to be there often. There are at least thirty or forty people in total. Empress Du and her were with Emperor Jing when they were in the hidden mansion.

Emperor Cang Jing was young and flirtatious, when he ascended the throne, besides these two, there were three or four concubines by his side.Up to now, the only one who has the ability to survive under the operation of the queen is Yi Guifei.

When Yan Ji was crowned in the six palaces, she gathered three thousand favorites, sang all the way, and was conferred the title of Concubine Yong, the current Concubine Yi is just a small permanent presence.

Later, when Concubine Yonggui gave birth to the eldest prince, her status plummeted because of her affair with the bodyguards. Opportunity, the concubine can be made a noble concubine in one fell swoop, and the scheming means can be imagined.

She is an old man next to Emperor Jing, and she thinks that she can guess a thing or two about the emperor's mind. Emperor Jing spoke sarcasticly to the eldest prince, picked his nose and eyes, and made the courtiers waver between the emperor and the young prince. Concubine Yigui But it can be seen somewhat strange.

She beckoned her son over, and had already sent back all the maids serving in the palace in advance, leaving only two confidant ladies guarding the palace gate.

"I heard that the emperor went to the study today?" The collar of the little prince who had just finished riding and shooting was a little messy. Concubine Yi unbuttoned the top jade button and put it on again carefully for her son. "Is there an exam?" Your homework?"

"Father was in a hurry, and he only briefly checked the homework of the second and third brothers, and ordered the second brother to take over the errands of the spring next year, so that he doesn't have to study in the study." Cang Tianxuan smiled at his mother and concubine Laughing, "Brother Erhuang is only 16 years old this year, and he has already started to intervene in the affairs of Chunwei, which can be seen from the holy family."

Concubine Yi wiped the sweat on her son's forehead with a handkerchief, her expression was a little tired: "The holy family is erratic, it's fine to treat it as icing on the cake, like the second prince now, it's already putting the cart before the horse."

Cang Tianxuan was a little surprised, looked at his mother and concubine again, and paused for a while before saying: "Didn't the mother and concubine always tell the son to ask him to respect his father more and make him like him?"

Concubine Yi put away her handkerchief, fixedly looked at her son and laughed: "No matter how much your second elder brother likes your father, now he has no official position, he just has a detached position."

Cang Tianxuan shook his head, "Father, didn't you let the second brother supervise the country some time ago?" He quickly glanced at Concubine Yi's expression, and quietly hid the disdain on his face, "Even if the second brother messed up the matter, don't you now?" Also got a serious errand? The three-year Chunwei Jushi is not much lower than Jian Guo."

The son is ten years old, and he can only see the surface when looking at things. Concubine Yi feels more and more disheartened, but her voice does not miss a single bit: "You only saw your second brother's embarrassment at the beginning, why don't you think about it, in such a situation , before the royal ceremonial ceremony, the emperor disappeared for no reason, there was no news from the envoys, and nearly ten thousand people disappeared almost out of thin air. Your second brother, if it were any of your brothers, it might be possible to deal with it?"

Cang Tianxuan raised his head: "Brother can..."——If you are five years older, I can too.There was still half a sentence, and he swallowed it abruptly a second before he blurted out.

"He is capable, but he is relying on his own ability? Even if your elder brother has the ability to reach the sky, how much ability can a letter without a single word show a person's ability? Silly son, he relies on the skills of the hundred thousand soldiers behind him." Power and power!" Concubine Yi hated iron for being weak, and couldn't help but cast a glance at her son, "You haven't seen the doorway here? Why did the emperor's close-fitting tiger talisman appear in the main tent of the Northwest Army out of thin air? What about the inside? It's not tricky, who can believe the ministers in the court? They know they are weird, but they all shrunk their heads and pretended to be quails. The generals also obeyed orders honestly. There is no one hundred thousand victorious army. Do you think your elder brother's words are so effective? ?”

Cang Tianxuan was speechless, stunned for a while, and whispered: "What does the concubine mother mean?" At one time he said to please his father, and at another time he said that it would not work, how could it be uncertain?

"No matter how thick the holy family is, I will be mud that can't support the wall. No matter how good the job is, it will be for nothing." Concubine Yi got down from the couch, pulled her son to sit on the low stool next to her, "Your father respects you How about big brother? Isn’t he cruel enough? He was driven to Yulan Town at the age of 12. Not to mention the courtiers who talked a lot, even your father himself probably never thought that he would come back alive one day! Except Tian Family, who would be so heartless and heartless to send his own son to die with his own hands?"

Cang Tianxuan pursed the corners of his lips and stopped talking, his heart felt cold when he heard it.
