must have fun

The person who can remind the prince is definitely not a simple opponent.Perhaps the poison on the prince's body is also related to this person?Shu Dianhe thought about it.

But it can't just be concluded that it was the Nine Kings who attacked the prince, she still needs evidence.

Sure enough, as expected by the nine kings, in less than ten days, the kings who received the obituary rushed back to the capital, lest they be late, and the crown prince would be snatched away by their brothers.

In the past, Lu Meng, in order to maintain the status of the crown prince, except for the nine kings who had not been conferred for the sake of Taoism, the princes under his knees would be entrusted as soon as they reached adulthood. in Kyoto.

Now that the crown prince is dead, the position of crown prince is vacant.All the kings knew that their father would not have another queen, so there would be no more sons.That is to say, all the remaining princes have the opportunity to succeed to the East Palace and become the future emperor.

What the Nine Kings want, the princes also want.Even the prince who was the most unintentional about the throne could not help but become active under the encouragement of his subordinates.

They returned to Beijing in the name of condolences, and came to the East Palace to worship. On the surface, they mourned the death of the prince and wept, but secretly they all stared at the dragon robe on the prince, planning how to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Opportunity, stand out in front of your father and win their father's sacred heart.

The Nine Kings would never allow themselves to be controlled by others, and decided to strike first.

The crown prince who got in the way the most was dead, and his opponents were actually not many.

Apart from the crown prince and himself under his father's knees, among the remaining adult princes, there are only four who can compete with him for the position of crown prince.The other princes are powerless and unfavored, so there is nothing to fear.

Although the crown prince is the eldest son, there is a concubine in front of him, named Lu Hong, who was conferred the title of King of Jin.The crown prince is gone as his son, he bears the brunt, occupying a long position, which seems to be one step closer to that position than the remaining princes.

In fact, this is not the case, and the remaining two princes are not just for nothing.

The fifth prince, Lu Bin, who was granted the title of King of Qin, has a violent temper and a tiger's spirit, beating and scolding his servants at every turn.Because he was good at martial arts since childhood, he was entrusted by Lu Meng to the northwest border, holding military power and suppressing the frontiers, which should not be underestimated.

The eighth prince, Lu Zhi, is the king of Tan Tan. He is introverted and does nothing, but he has a good mother and concubine, who is quite favored by Lu Meng.There has been no empress in the harem for more than ten years, so she will take the position of imperial concubine and act as empress.Although his father had no intention of making another queen since the death of Empress Duan Jing, but in case his father changed his mind temporarily, or if the pillow was blown, the noble concubine was promoted to queen, and the bastard was also promoted to be the first son. Can't prevent.

The Nine Kings narrowed their eyes slightly, their sharp eyes were like wolves and jackals, these people were not stupid people, they had inextricable connections with the courtiers in private, they had to be broken one by one.

After thinking about it for a while, he picked up a white pen, dipped it in red ink, wrote a line of words on the yellow talisman, folded it up, called the little Taoist priest, and said to him: "Help me send it to Jing Zhaoyin, Yan Tian Official blessing."

On the other side, the hall is not stable.

As soon as the prince died, the courtiers who had been standing behind the prince scattered like birds and beasts, looking for another good tree to live in.In addition, when the kings returned to Beijing, they won people's hearts everywhere, and secretly met with courtiers. The factions in the court changed again and again, just like a river changing its course and people emigrating.

What kind of king is there, and there is what kind of minister.In the past, Lu Meng's subordinates were strict and meticulous, and no one would dare to form a party for personal gain so blatantly.But now because of his obsession with immortality, he gradually has a tendency to ignore the government.The courtiers acted according to the wind and fawned on the prince everywhere, for fear that they would be late with the master and lose their place in the court in the future.

When power changes, no one can tell what will happen tomorrow.Don't look at these ministers, they are catchy when they say the principles of "gentleman's style, loyal ministers' pride". Once it is about their own interests, they can jump higher and faster than anyone else.This caused the people in the court to panic and panic.

No matter how the colleagues around him come and go, there are many pure ministers in the court who stand still.No matter who will be the prince in the future, it has nothing to do with them, they are only loyal to the person on the Dragon Throne.Among them are Feng Huansen and Shu Dianhe.

Today's emperor, in the name of praying for the crown prince's blessings, has nothing to do with the court affairs.

There were vague rumors that the prince had a dispute with the emperor because of cultivating immortals, angered the emperor, was deposed, and then died of illness.Parents and children are treated like this, and there are lessons learned from the past, so these courtiers made a waste of a trip, but they dare not have any complaints or objections.

The last time Shu Dianhe saw Lu Meng on the Dragon Throne was when he called her to inquire about Xuancheng's situation and hoped that she could comfort Xuancheng on his behalf.

The white-haired bereaved son is still the heir who was brought up by himself and has high hopes. Even the Ninth Five-Year Supreme is a mortal and cannot bear this big blow.

Lu Meng was aging at the speed of light, sitting on the dragon seat with slumped brows, and the aura around him was no longer as majestic as before.

Shu Dianhe accidentally discovered that the white hair on his temples increased a lot overnight.

Perhaps, because he didn't know how to face his daughter, he didn't intend to call Xuancheng to meet.Shu Dianhe felt a little relieved, afraid that Xuancheng would feel even more hurt when he saw her father.

After the court was over, Shu Dianhe didn't have the time to chat with his colleagues, and hurried down the steps, wanting to go back to the mansion, but was chased down from behind and called out.

Seeing that she stopped at the sound, Liang Zhengxu hurried up, and the hem of the green suit was rolled up by the wind, and came in front of Shu Dianhe.

Shu Dianhe sized him up briefly, and asked with ambiguous eyes, "Is there something wrong with Liang Yushi?"

Liang Zhengxu saluted solemnly, and said: "The son-in-law saved the official from prison. Since the official was released from prison, he has not had time to thank the son-in-law in the future, so I am here to thank the son-in-law today. The son-in-law's life-saving grace, the official will be in charge in the future. Reciprocate with springs."

Shu Dian raised his palms together to help him up, smiled politely, and noticed that the nearest minister was also some distance away from the two of them, then said: "The Yushi is a loyal and upright minister, even if there is any fault, it is all for the sake of the emperor, just words and deeds After a while, just be more cautious in your words and deeds in the future. This official is only doing things impartially, and I have not favored the censor for personal gain, so I cannot afford the censor's thanks."

After talking to Feng Zheng that day, she went to see Liang Zhengxu in Zhao Prison and asked him to write an apology.Later, he found another opportunity to mention Liang Zhengxu's past political achievements in front of Lu Meng, and intercede for Liang Zhengxu in a roundabout way.Seeing that Liang Zhengxu knew his mistake, Lu Meng was persuaded by her again, fined Liang Zhengxu only a few months' salary, and released him.

Liang Zhengxu was stunned for a moment, puzzled that he didn't appreciate him, and still deliberately alienated himself, but no matter what the other party thought, since the other party helped him, he had to repay his kindness, saying: "Your Majesty, remember the teachings of the son-in-law. In the future, things will definitely not be as hasty and aggressive as before. If the son-in-law needs any help from the subordinate officials in the future, as long as the ward will let the officials down, the subordinate officials are willing to do their best."

Shu Dianhe thought about it, he might really be useful to the other party in the court in the future, so he no longer refused, and nodded noncommittally.

Liang Zhengxu apologized again: "In the past, the servants may have been rude to the son-in-law, and the servants are here to report their mistakes to the son-in-law, please forgive me."

Shu Dianhe didn't expect that he would say this again. She really didn't care what he did to her, and said: "Since it's all over, don't mention it anymore." Leaving aside the subtleties between the two This person's character is far more straightforward than she imagined.

After finishing the important matter, Liang Zhengxu hesitated for a while, but still asked with concern: "The concubine's face looks a little uncomfortable? Is it important?" It was only a few days since he saw the concubine last time, the concubine He seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and even his official robes looked a little empty, not to mention his complexion, as if he hadn't slept well for several days.

Shu Dian closed his eyes, his mood fluctuated, and he began to worry about his family members again, and said: "It's okay, it's just that I've been working so hard these days, and I'm just a little busy. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first." He said that he had dealt with it, and planned to leave up.

Liang Zhengxu saw him off, watched him walk away, and recalled what he said to himself in Zhao Prison that day.

-------

"Liang Yushi doesn't want to write a letter of guilt, because he thinks that this is to make himself agree with the emperor's cultivation of immortals, and to make a compromise?"

The man stood in front of the prison where he was locked, the only light source window was behind him, which coated his crimson official robe with a golden halo, like the holy light brought by an immortal.Even though his face could not be seen clearly in the backlight, his upright figure and clear voice were incompatible with the dark and bloody Zhao Prison where he was.

Liang Zhengxu glanced at the paper and ink spread in front of him, waiting for his writing, and silently admitted his words.I really thought so.

Looking at the person in front of him again, I don't know why under this person's aura, no matter how straight I sit, I always feel that I am born shorter.

In order to show his determination, he said solemnly: "No matter what kind of situation a gentleman faces, he should be unyielding."

The man said mercilessly: "Liang Yushi has read many poems and books, but he misunderstood this sentence."

He frowned slightly, and didn't feel that he was wrong. Just as he was about to ask what was wrong with this sentence, the man changed the topic and talked about an irrelevant question: "Does Liang Yushi have the ideal of being an official?"

Of course he has, and he has upheld this ideal for many years. From the time of enlightenment to the present, and even in his later years, he will never change it.

He said: "The lower officials want to uphold the righteousness for the people and the country, assist the Ming emperor and the British Lord, establish the building, and create a peaceful world!"

From the angle that Shu Dianhe could see, when Liang Zhengxu talked about his ideals, his eyes were full of bright light.It is especially valuable to be able to maintain such a light when you are in prison and the future is unpredictable.

It seemed that there was nothing wrong with her trip this time, this man was worth her saving.

The answer he gave was also what she expected. The literati from ancient times to the present seem to have the same thing in their bones, nothing more than "family" and "country".

The author has something to say: How can there be sweetness if you can’t bear hardships, right?
