Jia Rong, the smiling tiger of the Red Chamber

Sure enough, the next morning, Emperor Longqi forced himself to appear in the court hall with his sick body. What did the appearance of Emperor Longqi remind some shrewd old foxes?You must know that some time ago, Emperor Longqi fell ill due to the cold, and Emperor Longqi had not been in court for more than 20 days. All the affairs in the court hall were taken in by Zhang Shengde, and then Emperor Longqi would write.

Regarding Emperor Longqi's behavior of not delegating power even when he was seriously ill, many officials affiliated with the third and sixth princes complained.

However, this also shows from the side that since Emperor Longqi still has the energy and mood to review the memorials presented by the ministers, it means that his body can still hold up so far.It was precisely because of this guess that the third and sixth princes and the officials of their party did not dare to act rashly.

It's just that they never imagined that it wasn't that Emperor Longqi kept his power, or that he still had the energy left to deal with it, but that the memorials sent by these officials were not personally reviewed by Emperor Longqi, but After it was presented, Wen Renxiu quietly delivered it to the Tenth Prince at night.Then it was reviewed by the Tenth Prince.

In fact, Emperor Longqi's behavior had already occurred two years ago, when he was in poor health.It's just that Emperor Longqi always kept secret Zhou Xiang, only a few people knew about it, and they were all Emperor Longqi's confidantes.

For the princes, Emperor Longqi did not show any special preference, and even though all the princes of Emperor Longqi were bald princes, once they got married, they would be separated from the government.Even if there are people left in the palace, this palace is the world of Emperor Longqi.Whenever he was in it, even if it was just a place like Yeyouting where the slaves were placed, he also had his eyeliner in it.

Therefore, no one would know about Emperor Longqi's actions like this.

Just like Jia Rong thought before.As soon as the news that the tenth prince Si Jingran was registered as the crown prince came out, the whole court was in an uproar.

It is neither the third prince and the sixth prince who have become very popular in recent years, nor is it the fourth prince who has made a difference in the past two years, is very good at life, and the whole court has a good impression of him.

It turned out to be the tenth prince who didn't show mountains or rivers, they hadn't thought about it at all.

How could this be so?

What exactly went wrong?There was no sign at all before, and in previous years, it was not heard that Emperor Longqi took special care of the Tenth Prince.Even because the Tenth Prince was born with heart palpitations, although it was not serious.Even though his mother and concubine were once the most favored concubine in the harem, but for this reason, like the seventh prince, he had been excluded from birth.Otherwise, how do you think he, a prince whose mother and concubine died young and had nothing, grew up in this palace?

But the unlucky one was just such a prince who became the prince, the next emperor?

How can this be?

Just when many courtiers were talking about it, they were at a loss.

In the fourth prince's mansion, the fourth prince's face was so gloomy that he almost dripped water, he endured and endured, but in the end he couldn't hold back, and swept the things on the desk.

There was a loud 'crackling' sound.

Old ten, the prince is actually old ten, how is this possible?

Could it be that the father is really old and dizzy, and actually passed the throne to the old ten.This is more difficult for him to accept than the Seventh Prince becoming a prince?

What advantages does the old ten have?Nothing at all?

He didn't show his birth, talent, or favor, and he was still a minor, let alone his grandfather's family.Although his mother and concubine were favored for a while, she was just an unnamed peasant girl who was brought into the palace from somewhere when the emperor was on tour. It is said that there is no one in the house.This kind of background is not even comparable to the Seventh Prince.

But he became the prince?

"Your Highness, your emotions are too revealing. The more you are at this time, the more calm you are, Your Highness." At this time, the only one who can enter the study and dare to speak is the trusted confidant of the Fourth Prince, Mr. Chen .

The fourth prince took a deep breath, but he couldn't calm down, and said harshly, "How do you want me to calm down? The tenth old man has become a prince? According to the current body of the father, it will not last for two years. At that time, He is the rightful next emperor. If there is any movement from others, he will be charged as a traitor. What's more, according to the character of the father, he will definitely give the way to Lao Shipu before he dies Good. At that time, I am afraid that I will become the biggest stumbling block."

As a shrewd prince, the fourth prince knew that he might be able to hide it from others because he had been holding back all these years, but it was unlikely that he could hide it from Emperor Longqi.But he has been developing so smoothly, he thought that his father was satisfied with him, and the possibility of his succession in the future is higher than that of the third and sixth brothers.

But after so many years of operation, in the end, nothing has been achieved.He even has to become a fish on someone else's chopping board and be slaughtered by others.No matter how good-tempered the Fourth Prince was, he couldn't help being angry at this moment.

Master Chen's previous words were just to comfort the fourth prince. Hearing what the fourth prince said, he couldn't help but sighed, and said: "The emperor's move was too sudden, and he didn't discuss it with anyone. He just issued an imperial edict." .Even if the Tenth Prince has nothing, just having the support of the emperor and occupying a legitimate title. It has already made us unable to move."

It has been a hundred years since the founding of the dynasty, and now it is a time of prosperity, there are no strong enemies outside, only a Qianxiang Congress, and there are small fights from time to time.In the court hall, although corrupt officials were unavoidable, it was still considered clear and there were no major issues.During the more than 30 years since the emperor succeeded to the throne, there have been no natural or man-made disasters.

In such a situation, whoever can become the crown prince is justified.If the other princes want to use their brains again, they will lose one of their integrity. Even if they do well in the future, they will inevitably be criticized by history books.

The current situation is really too bad.

Hearing Master Chen's words, the fourth prince felt angry again.

Father, this move of yours is really too ruthless.It seemed that it was just an imperial decree, but in fact it suppressed them all and couldn't move.

What's so good about this old ten?

"Your Highness, is there no message from Jia Rong?" Master Chen asked suddenly.

Only then did the fourth prince think of Jia Rong who had been almost forgotten by him, thinking about what Chang Yun said when he came back last night, he is a smart person, if he can't figure out the truth at this time, it is his brain is white long.

The anger in his eyes was raging, and he said ruthlessly: "I'm afraid Jia Rong was the father's person from the beginning. The reason why the win over was so smooth at the beginning is probably because of the father's hint. Otherwise, according to the father's trust in him He Chongxin, I don't believe it, he doesn't know anything about Lao Shi becoming a prince. It's really abominable, he actually played me around. In the future..." He will never let him go.

Master Chen is not a stupid person, if the fourth prince can figure it out, he can naturally figure it out too.

Looking back now, when he first met Jia Rong, his attitude that made him feel a little weird made sense.

It's really ridiculous to say it, he claimed to be smart all his life, but he didn't expect to be confused by a little doll for a while.And if you want to turn around in the future, I'm afraid it will be very small.

Naturally, there is also the fifth prince who has the same attitude as the fourth prince.

Although he was not as scheming as the fourth prince, but after the decree that the tenth prince became the prince, Jia Rong was appointed as the prince's tutor. After this, if you don't understand it, you are stupid.

It's just that his situation is a little different from that of the fourth prince, who had planned this from the very beginning.And the fifth prince accumulated it day by day while helping the third prince.Although he is extremely angry and disappointed now, but after the most angry time, he was able to calm down.

Now that the tenth old man has become a prince, it is impossible to change the fact.Then he has to make a good plan for his future.

He and the old ten have never had any intersection.Neither befriended nor offended.And before he had time to bring out the little jiu-jiu in his heart, it vanished into thin air.Therefore, no one except Jia Rong and some confidantes knew about his intention to participate in the seizure of the heir.It's just a little troublesome, that is, in the eyes of outsiders, he has always belonged to the third prince's faction. After all, the third prince's mother and concubine are his adoptive mother.If you want to get rid of it completely, I'm afraid it's impossible.In this case, it is necessary to plan carefully, how can we minimize our losses.

As for that Jia Rong who lied to him, hehe, he might have nothing to do with him now, but if he has a chance in the future, he will definitely not let it go.

The attitudes of the fourth and fifth princes are the same but somewhat different, but the only thing that is the same is the resentment towards Jia Rong.

But now Jia Rong is not in the mood to pay attention to what the fourth and fifth princes think of him.

The tenth prince has become the crown prince, and the imperial decree has come down.As the youngest prince and Taifu since the founding of the dynasty, Jia Rong was also secretly entrusted by Longqi.In addition, after promulgating the imperial decree to appoint the ten princes as the crown prince, Emperor Longqi completely lost his mind, and it looked like he might die at any time.

Almost everything was blamed on him and Yan Tiesheng. At this time, Jia Rong was busy running around, wishing to split herself into four.

In just a few days, Jia Rong lost a lot of weight here, and even her eyes were a little black.

Regarding this, Jia Rong had already greeted Emperor Longqi eight hundred times in her heart.

After nearly a month of busy work, Jia Rong finally finished her work.The ceremony for the establishment of the crown prince was successfully completed with the joint efforts of Qin Qian, Wen Renxiu and him.

Now the tenth prince, Si Jingran, is the crown prince of the Daqian Dynasty and the next emperor.

If Emperor Longqi dies on that day, he will be the new emperor in name.

It's just that Jia Rong didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief, but Emperor Longqi couldn't hold on over there.

One day in mid-September, he passed away.

The death of Emperor Longqi was even more lively than when the crown prince was established.

Everyone knew that Emperor Longqi's health was not good, but they didn't expect his health to be so bad.May die at any time.His death is a sap for the princes.Especially the fourth prince was even more angry, father, you are really partial.

Jia Rong was not surprised that Emperor Longqi died at this time, his body was already empty when he returned to Beijing.If he was not the emperor, if he hadn't stored a lot of rare medicinal materials in the national treasury, how could he have survived to this time.He was a little surprised to be able to procrastinate until now.

As the emperor of the Daqian Dynasty, Emperor Longqi could be regarded as a virtuous emperor, so his funeral was naturally as grand as it could be.

However, although the funeral was grand, it was not very peaceful.

It was the time of the night watch, the third prince and the sixth prince joined forces for the first time, and sneered at the tenth prince who had not yet ascended the throne.The Tenth Prince did not speak, of course, this is not the point of the matter.

The point is that on the second day after the third prince and the sixth prince tore up the tenth prince, it is not known whether it was because the body was too weak that the vigilante really fell ill due to the wind and cold, or he could not bear the suffering of the vigilante and pretended to be ill.

Anyway, on the second day, both of them collapsed in front of the mourning hall.

After the diagnosis and treatment by the imperial physician, the illness and cause of the illness of the third prince and the sixth prince were still the same. The wind and cold entered the body, coupled with prolonged fatigue, the body was overly fatigued and needed to rest in bed.

As soon as such news spread, the courtiers still didn't know whether it was a real illness or a fake illness.

I thought the two of them were pretending to be sick, but what they didn't expect was that Emperor Longqi was about to go down to the mausoleum on the 49th day of the [-]th day of the coffin, and neither the third prince nor the sixth prince showed up.At this moment, the courtiers were a little stunned.

It turned out that he was not pretending to be sick, but really sick.

Otherwise, no matter how dissatisfied they were with Emperor Longqi in their hearts, as Emperor Longqi's son, as a prince, if they were not sick and unconscious, they would show up even if they were supported by others.Just when the courtiers were still feeling sorry for wronging the third and sixth princes.Emperor Longqi's funeral had just ended.Within two days, both of them were alive and kicking.

Uh... It seems that they haven't been wronged before.

Probably because of their stupid actions like this.After the tenth prince formally enthroned, his brother was entrusted with the title of prince, and the others, even the fifteenth prince who was still uncertain on his way, were all made princes.Only the third and sixth princes were named county kings.

This made the third and sixth princes who received the imperial edict blacken their faces immediately before the eunuch who delivered the edict immediately.

The most interesting thing is the canonization of the fourth and fifth princes.

I don't know if it was intentional.The fourth prince was canonized as King An, and the fifth prince was canonized as King Yi.

Hehe, An Yi, I hope they can really be at ease.
